As a marathon eight-hour hearing on Gov. Martin O'Malley's proposal to implement stricter gun control measures was coming to a close in Annapolis, Maryland Attorney General Douglas F. Gansler found himself the subject of an impromptu inquisition on the same subject Wednesday evening during a an appearance before the Waldorf Lions Club.
The visit began innocuously enough, with the attorney general taking the podium following his introduction from former Charles County State's Attorney Leonard C. Collins Jr., only to have the roughly 30 club members in attendance insist that Gansler (D) first finish his steak dinner.
Done with his beef filet, Gansler briefly filled the club in on his office's current initiatives before opening the room to questions.
Describing himself as a "pro-business, moderate, centrist Democrat," Gansler, who is planning a run for governor in 2016, voiced support for improving the "anti-business attitudes we have in Maryland, both in reality and perception" by lowering the state's corporate income tax rate from 8.25 percent to Virginia's rate of 6 percent.
"I live in Bethesda, and we're getting our clocks cleaned from Virginia because every time a company wants to come here, they ought to come here," Gansler said. "It's a great place to live. We care about the [Chesapeake] Bay. We care about our environment, but what we're doing is we're taxing everybody so much that everybody who's successful wants to leave."
Bud Humbert, president-elect of the Southern Maryland Association of Realtors and a former state delegate candidate, asked Gansler why the state couldn't get rid of personal and corporate income taxes entirely and institute a higher sales tax.
"Well, that's not going to happen," Gansler said. "I think that would be hard to pass in our state, and I also think there should be some taxes. We need to have roads; we need to have libraries; we need to have police."
Gansler then offered a quick endorsement for relocating the FBI's headquarters in Maryland before one of the club's members asked him about gun control.
"My stance on gun control is, I think, probably not shared by everybody in this room, but I think it's pretty much where most people are, which is" people should be able to have a gun in their home for personal protection, "but I don't think you should be able to walk down the street out here loaded up with AK-47s and bazookas," Gansler said.
Gansler, who hosted a forum on gun violence Monday in Baltimore, expressed fascination with how polarizing the gun control debate has become considering that most people are already fine with having some limits placed on the weapons that they can own.
"You don't hear a guy [say], 'Boy, do I wish I could get a flamethrower or a grenade or a tank to drive down the street,' and we're OK with not being able to do that," he said. "I think we should be OK not having AK-47s in our house."
One club member who said he has been a shooting instructor for Boy Scouts, ROTC and 4-H clubs for 40 years said O'Malley's bill contains myriad provisions that seem to ban certain firearms or variations for arbitrary reasons that have nothing to do with safety.
"I think most of us in this room would seriously agree with the idea that folks with mental health problems shouldn't be carrying weapons, but there are parts of this, and most of us have read [O'Malley's bill], we're tearing it apart thinking about it, and there's just some things we don't understand," club member Wayne Magoon said.
Gansler began to explain that he wasn't familiar with the specifics of the governor's bill or the differences between particular firearm models, but Humbert interjected.
"Uncle Doug, you don't get to get away with that in this room," Humbert said. "You can answer their questions."
"I'm not going to make up answers about things I don't know about," Gansler said, adding that he believed there was "room for a discussion" on reducing gun violence, such as limiting criminals' ability to acquire guns via straw purchases.
"There is a public interest in not having criminals walking around with guns [and] shooting people," he said. "We have 550 people murdered a year in Maryland, and there's a public interest in not having that happen, and the question is, 'how can you make those people safe without infringing upon gun rights?'"
Gansler fielded more questions on gun control, job growth, taxation and the proliferation of gang violence.
He got some applause when he reinforced his support for the death penalty.
"I think there are certain people who commit certain crimes that they forfeit their right to live on our planet," he said.
Gansler's office is currently helping administer the disbursement of $960 million in mortgage relief — won a year ago as part of a nationwide $25 billion settlement with the country's five largest mortgage lenders — to distressed homeowners.
His office also recently filed an antitrust lawsuit on behalf of the University of Maryland in relation to its plan to switch athletic conferences, and is set to argue before the U.S. Supreme Court this month that law enforcement officers should be able to collect suspects' DNA at the time of their arrest and have it entered into a national database.
As president of the National Association of Attorneys General, Gansler also is leading a national initiative to boost digital privacy.
His office also is looking into suing a fish oil producer in Virginia for overharvesting the Chesapeake Bay's menhaden population.

Series: Excerpts from "The Reason For God" by Tim Keller (4 entries)
A serial reprint of Chapter 6 of The Reason For God, entitled "Science has Disproved Christianity".

A serial reprint of Chapter 6 of The Reason For God, entitled "Science has Disproved Christianity".
American thinking about religion and science before the Civil War was substantially informed by the powerful "concordist" metaphor of God as the "author" of two "books," nature and Scripture, which ultimately must agree.
Cornelius Hunter's charge that BioLogos promotes the Warfare Thesis of science and religion is rooted in a misunderstanding of what historians have actually said about that idea.
Jeff Schloss argues that Jerry Coyne's elevation of "fact" over "faith" is based in a misunderstanding of both science and religion.
Cornelius Hunter's claim that BioLogos advances the "Warfare Thesis" between science and religion is wholly unfounded.
Ninety years is a long time, and so much has changed all over the world. But have the cultural perceptions about science and religion changed since the Scopes Trial in 1925?
I am growing in my appreciation for a diversity of ears to hear Scripture and a diversity of cultures to interpret God's call on our lives.
In none of these cases was Newton inserting God into a "gap" into our knowledge that science would someday fill. Rather, his prior belief in God helped him arrive at attitudes and ideas that have unquestionably advanced our understanding of nature.
Historian Peter Harrison argues that harmony between faith and science is not as simple as it seems, and some versions of "harmony" can do damage to the Christian faith.
Is Christianity anti-science? Can Christians be good scientists? Is science the only source of true knowledge? Pastor Dave Gustavsen of Jacksonville Chapel addresses these issues.
A short guide to where BioLogos fits in the origins debate.
Interview with Bill Nye and follow-up thoughts from president Haarsma.
By getting rid of the miracle stories in the Bible, Bultmann and his followers hoped to make the Christian story more palatable to modern man. Although I recognize the emotional weight of this sentiment, I am not convinced that it is an intellectually coherent approach, mainly for reasons of self-consistency.
Studying the basis of life's design cannot meaningfully be separated from the character of the One responsible for it. By living in relationship with him through whom all things were created and in whom all things have their being, we experience the purpose and meaning with which this universe is infused.
John Calvin really believed that the sun revolved around the earth, but we shouldn't dismiss the rest of his theology because of this error.
Collection of the best articles of the past several weeks on science (and faith) from around the web.
Theology needs science, but science needs theology; there can be no two-state solution.

How should we interpret the Genesis flood account?
Genesis 6-9 tells the fascinating story of Noah, the Ark, and the Flood. Some Christians interpret the text to mean that the biblical flood must have covered the entire globe. They also work to explain the evidence in rocks and fossils in terms of this world-wide flood. Other Christians do not feel the text requires that the flood be global, but could have covered the small region of earth known to Noah. The scientific and historical evidence does not support a global flood, but is consistent with a catastrophic regional flood. Beyond its place in history, the Genesis flood teaches us about human depravity, faith, obedience, divine judgment, grace and mercy.

Slim Cessna's Auto Club, the Denver band's 1995 debut, quickly sold out its initial pressing of 3,000 prompting fans to demand its re-release ever since. In Fall 2000, Alternative Tentacles released their third album Always Say Please & Thank You to spectacular reviews, and we think it's about time to re-release this classic! (Tweaked & re-mastered by Robert Ferbrache who has done awesome stuff with 16 Horsepower.)
Slim Cessna's Auto Club have been extremely popular locally since forming in 1993 and have opened for such national acts as Johnny Cash, Kristin Hersh, Cracker, Cake, Primus and fellow Denverites 16 Horsepower. Musically, they have been called alt country, country-revisionist, and psychobilly while compared to old hats like Hank Williams, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Ernest Tubb and Jimmie Rodgers. Despite their traditional roots, they're "alt" and weird enough to keep mainstream country fans at bay.
This release contains fourteen gems soaked in country, hillbilly and gospel (which makes sense since Slim's father was a baptist preacher) with banjo, fiddle, accordion, pedal-steel, and Slim's signature falsetto yodel.
"Like countless country performers before him, Cessna weaves together the conflicting elements of Saturday night and Sunday morning. Light is fueled with dark, sin with salvation, hearth and home with the lost highway." from "Psychobilly Stars"
- Denver Post (1999)
"...the best band at SXSW was Slim Cessna's Auto Club, a Denver 6 piece that combines the best of bluegrass and backwardass-like a crazed punk band crashing into a gospel hoe-down, the band swerved preachy to creepy with a downhome flair."
- Spin Online
"The Auto Club offers a twangful hybrid of whiskey-fueled country and a pseudo-spirituality that makes lyrical fodder of even the most religious themes - something Slim attributes to "the angels and demons that live in my head."
- Westword's Music Awards Showcase
"The country band that plays the bar at the end of the world."

Greening of a Home Performance Contractor
A contractor shares his odyssey toward considering himself - and advertising himself as - a green builder.
How many times have you tried to explain what you do for a living? You say home performance, and your new acquaintance nods blankly. You know better than to say energy efficiency or, even worse, energy conservation; those are real sleep inducers. So you start talking about green buildings and indoor air quality. You see some light of recognition and then your acquaintance says,"Oh, do you put in solar panels?"
After too many times of saying, "No, we install energy efficiency improvements and you really should improve efficiency before you invest in long-term paybacks like PV, and you really ought to fix your existing house instead of building a new strawbale house," and then having the new acquaintance immediately lose interest, I decided that our company would at least start installing solar PV panels. Solar electricity and green building have been getting a lot of free publicity through newspaper and magazine articles and societal support.This social marketing effort is bigger than all the investments that EPA and others are making in marketing the Energy Star label. So if you can't beat 'em, join 'em, and bring your Energy Star with you (see "Letting Green Do Your Marketing," p. 27).
Real-Life Education
A number of years ago, as a single dad, I brought my kids to an energy efficiency conference where I was doing a presentation. And it wasn't just any energy efficiency conference, but a conference focusing on K-12 energy education. I was responsible for my own lodging, so I got a room at a local bed-and-breakfast (B&B) that was marketed as a green building. When we landed at the airport and trudged over to the rental car agency, it didn't have any compact cars left. So the agency offered us a free upgrade to a brand-new sports-utility vehicle (SUV). I was not interested in the SUV or in driving up to the green B&B in an SUV.My son, Brendan, however, was ecstatic. I explained why I wasn't, but my resistance did little to dampen his enthusiasm. All it did was put me in the position of denying him. Not wanting his experience of my ethics to be one of denial, I acceded to the SUV, but explained my position.
We got to the B&B and the conference. We all had a great time. My kids were the only kids there, and all the vendors of educational materials were thrilled to have real kids to talk to.As a result,my kids got a great energy education from someone besides Dad. My son met the conference plenary speaker at the B&B and got him to sign the speaker's book that he had won in a raffle. Then, during the speaker's talk, after the review of all the environmental disasters around the world, this speaker paused and said,"So what can we do, here at home? The most important thing we can do here is to stop driving SUVs." Brendan was mortified and gave me a look to match. The chickens had come home to roost.
Later that same day, we went to the exhibit floor for the American Solar Energy Society conference that was being held in the same town. Toyota had one of their first Prius cars at the conference. It was so new that all the dash controls were labeled in Japanese. Brendan fell in love with the car. It was new, cool, high-tech, and green, all at the same time. He could have his cake and ride in it too. He didn't have to deny his desire to be cool in order to be environmentally responsible.
This same challenge is facing home performance contractors. How do we position home performance as cool, hightech, and green? You and I both know that improving the energy efficiency and performance of existing housing is one of the very best ways to improve our environment, but this truism is not at all well understood by people you might talk to informally at parties,or more importantly, by potential customers. How bad is it? It is so bad that when we recently ran a fullpage newspaper advertising insert, with all sorts of information about efficiency, and one small mention of solar, 80% of the leads we got were solar leads. And this was in New York State, where the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) has done a great job of advertising the benefits of home performance to consumers. We got the same relative levels of response in our more progressive hometown, Ithaca, as we got in the nearby, but more conservative, Elmira. The local paper is always doing articles about renewable energy; it hardly ever publishes articles about home performance.
If you need any further confirmation of the growing market appeal of solar, take a look at California. There, a Republican governor put his Hummer behind a massive solar subsidy program, despite the fact that energy efficiency has better paybacks and more impact on the environment per dollar spent (see "Environmental Trade-offs," p. 28). But governors understand politics, and the public is behind solar in a big way— much more so than it supports just another humdrum energy efficiency program.
To appreciate the rising tide of green building's popularity, take a look at the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) annual conference, the Greenbuild Expo. My company, Performance Systems Development, Incorporated, had the honor of helping to start and support this conference and experienced its rapid growth firsthand. For the first year's conference in Austin,we had hoped for 2,000 attendees; we got more than 3,500. In the second year, in Pittsburgh, there was a repeat performance with over 5,000 attendees. In the third year, in Portland, there were over 7,500 attendees. And all bets are off for the November 2005 conference in Atlanta.
Still, I don't want to get trapped by the green label. We are helping many people who don't care two bits about the green aspect of what we do and in fact may consider solar and green as being too far out. I don't want those customers to perceive our company as only doing green building and solar. So we have moved gingerly into solar and are walking a careful line. We don't want to get left behind, and at the same time we don't want to get too far ahead.
Green Recognition for Building Performance
We are moving to green in large part because the public recognition of green does not include building performance, even though building performance is, or ought to be, the critical foundation of any green building project. Unfortunately, it is not only the public who fail to recognize the value of building performance. Not all buildings that are built to what the market considers green have good building performance characteristics. For example, two of the buildings at EcoVillage in Ithaca, where the owners took what they considered to be additional steps to make their buildings green, ended up with performance problems as a direct result of taking those steps. The additional green features increased energy use and created building durability problems. In one case, the owners chose to build with strawbale but didn't compensate for the high level of air connectivity in the strawbales; this created pathways for air to reach the roof deck and cause ice dams. In the other case, the homeowner thought it would be greener and more self-reliant to install ownerbuilt windows—as an uncontrolled label, green is in the eye of the beholder—but these windows were so leaky that we were unable to get the building to pass Energy Star certification. In the rest of the housing development, the typical Energy Star rating was over 90. These green-motivated owners wanted to go beyond the standard to do something better—but without a clear understanding of, and respect for, building performance issues, they ended up worse off. Clearly, taking control of a building and producing a high-quality, low-impact living environment can be made more difficult when natural materials are installed without regard to building performance issues.
It is very important for the building performance community to reach out to both the green building community and the general public to help both sides to understand how green building and building performance work hand in glove. Seek out the green builders in your area and start to educate them in the principles of building performance, emphasizing the common ground that we already have. Systems thinking is at the heart of both green building and home performance. We teach people to think of the house as a system. True green building expands that approach to thinking of the planet as system. Draw on this common perspective to communicate with green builders. In the commercial sector, it is already clear that the demand for building performance and energy efficiency services is being driven by the market appeal of green building. Will the same thing happen in the residential sector? I think so!
More Than a Green Makeover
So what does it mean to truly be green? A lot of organizations are trying to establish thresholds of greenness that can be used to support the marketing of green labels. The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) has just launched a new green building program (see "New NAHB Green Building Guidelines,"p. 11).Regional green building programs are also popping up around the country. And the USGBC is looking to apply its success in the commercial market to the residential market (see "The Evolution of Green Building," HE Nov/Dec '04, p. 30).
I personally like the categories for green that the USGBC set up for its Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) building certification programs.These include sustainable sites; water efficiency; energy and atmosphere; materials and resources; indoor environmental quality; and innovation and design process. I also appreciate the memberbased public process that established these categories and their associated point scores. I expect that the LEED for Homes rating system, when it comes out, will incorporate these same categories.
Energy is fundamental to any definition of either "green" or "sustainability." In the USGBC scoring system, energy is the category that has the most potential points. One of the basic metrics that the sustainability movement uses is the ecological footprint. Simply stated, a footprint calculation involves assessing the impacts associated with all aspects of a person's lifestyle and comparing that to the carrying capacity of the planet, assuming, for example, that all solar energy on the planet is successfully utilized. When one person uses more than the average carrying capacity, that means that eventually someone else has to go without. The more you use, the faster you will hit the point where the need for energy starts to cause serious conflicts elsewhere. Depending on whom you talk to, our country will reach this point either sooner or later—or it may have already done so.The ecological footprint idea is a key linkage point between the sustainability movement and the environmental benefits provided by energy efficiency poviders.
And beyond the problem of running out of resources, nonrenewable energy use also creates a wide range of pollutants. In fact, even renewable energy technology creates pollutants in its manufacture— just not as many pollutants and not in the same place as fossil fuels.
Closely related to a footprint is the concept of embodied energy. An embodied energy calculation captures the energy use of the fabrication and transportation of building materials and incorporates those figures into a reckoning of the total energy use of the building.This goes beyond just figuring the building's operational energy use, as we in home performance are used to doing. Embodied energy calculations that I have been involved with show that 5%–20% of the total energy used for materials, construction, and operation of a building over its lifetime is embodied in the structure of the building. The less operational energy a building uses, the greater the percentage of embodied energy. So the more efficient a building you are creating—the common goal for both home performance and green building professionals— the more important that building's embodied energy becomes.
Another increasingly common metric for green building is the life cycle assessment (LCA). An LCA looks at products from cradle to grave—from materials extraction to product disposal—and it considers a range of impacts, from biodiversity to toxicity. This invites a lot of apples-to-oranges comparisons. For example, how do you compare the impact of a wood stud to that of a steel stud? At first glance the steel stud is "artificial" and the wood is "natural." But where did the wood come from, and what happened to the forests where the wood was harvested? Steel is very easy to recycle or even reuse, and nearly all steel already has substantial recycled content. In most cases, there is no easy answer. And we may not even want one, because if everyone used one product, that product's overuse might well result
in a different LCA. Conducting a comprehensive LCA is difficult and time-consuming, and beyond the scope of most home performance contractors.However,LCA information for different building materials is available on the Internet, so home performance contractors can start thinking in this way about the materials we are putting into our houses.
Health and safety is another important aspect of green building. A building that starts out green in terms of wise materials use but shortly turns green with mold (hopefully not black mold) not only wastes resources but may also be making people sick. Similarly, durability is a key consideration. Paraphrasing David Byrne of the Talking Heads: Build something once—why build it again? Resource-, construction-, and maintenance-related energy use is reduced if buildings are built to last and to adapt to changes over time. I like to recommend Stewart Brand's excellent book, How Buildings Learn, to both green builders and building performance types. Brand examines how buildings evolve over time to meet changing needs, and which types of building survive by continuing to meet their occupants' needs; his book is a sort of Darwin's The Origin of Species for buildings. One conclusion he draws is that buildings that perform well encourage people to take care of them. You can get people to spend the extra effort to take care of poorly performing buildings by making them architecturally significant—Frank Lloyd Wright was good at that—but for the rest of us, one of the best ways to get a building taken care of is to make it a high-performance building.
Another aspect of green building is minimizing toxins. One toxin that is, or ought to be, already on every home performance contractor's mind is lead. We have put all our crews through lead-safe training, and they automatically adopt lead-safe practices on every job that has any potential for lead exposure.We have been lucky to get additional training from the local weatherization lead trainers, the New York State Weatherization Directors Association. Another commonly encountered toxin is asbestos. We use only certified asbestos removal contractors.All our crews have their personal high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter masks and Tyvek suits available at all times, and our supervisors reinforce the need to use safety practices.
What Have We Left Out?
Since performance is really the foundation for green homes, what is home performance currently missing? What does home performance need to be able to proudly receive public recognition for its inherent greenness? In addressing this question for my company, I have tried to focus on the big items. I don't want to get too caught up in the fuzzy details of trying to be green and lose sight of the big picture of making buildings work. But when my company can reduce our environmental impact by making clear and economically viable choices,we will make them.
We can go beyond our regular operations in several key areas. We can reduce our introduction of toxic substances into the environment.We can use recycled materials and recycle our own waste.We can improve the efficiency of our own operations. And when we implement changes that make us different, we can effectively communicate that to our customers.
First let's look at the materials we use. As home performance contractors, we install a lot of materials in the houses we work on. We should already be being careful about the toxins we might introduce directly into the home. But what about the hazardous compounds created and then lost into the environment, as seen in the LCA? The bigimpact actions on the materials list are reducing materials with a toxic production process, eliminating toxic materials that can eventually get into the environment through the waste stream, reducing smog-causing volatile organic compounds (VOCs),and reducing gases that increase global warming.When we started looking at how to make our business greener,we came up with the concept of total toxic load. How do we avoid putting more toxic substances into the environment—not just in the house, but anywhere in the world, as part of resource extraction, fabrication, transportation, installation, or disposal?
The materials list for a home performance contractor is much shorter than that for a home builder. Just nine items account for 95% of the materials we install. These items are insulation, windows, doors, air sealing, boilers and piping, furnaces and air conditioners, ductwork, lighting, and appliances. So let's examine these items.
Insulation. We mostly install cellulose insulation. Cellulose is created from waste wood fiber in the form of newspaper. It is treated with a boric acid fire retardant, a relatively nontoxic substance that, by the way, helps to control insects—a big winner, though we are getting some pushback from chemically sensitive folks who are concerned about the inks in the newspaper. Our response is to be sure that we install the cellulose behind a sealed air barrier when we can, especially when we are dealing with a client who is chemically sensitive.We are considering spray foams for certain installations and will choose foam that is based on soy oil, both for its reduced environmental impact and for its green marketing potential. Our installation process deals with lead and asbestos in appropriate ways.
Windows.We used to install a vinyl replacement window, because of its cost competitiveness and durability, but we have moved to metal or vinyl-clad wood replacement windows. The wood replacement windows reduce the amount of vinyl we are using. The production of vinyl has been targeted by groups such as Greenpeace for its impact on the environment. We like the low-maintenance aspect of the vinyl,but we see no need for the entire window to be vinyl.
Air sealing. We are working to reduce the amount of foam we use in air sealing, and are moving toward using mastics and other innovative techniques. Most foam insulation has propellant chemicals in it that degrade the atmosphere— either through smog production or by increasing global warming. Foams tend to be overused, even though they are not inexpensive; their main saving is in labor. Who has not seen a pile of foam used to fill a small hole? We are looking for labor- and cost-saving alternatives.For example, Darin Hughes of Hughesco, Incorporated, has started mixing latex with joint compound and spraying the mixture using a compressed-air setup.
Boilers and piping. The key green issue in installing boilers and piping are plastic piping and mercury. Mercury is a very persistent toxic substance that damages the nervous system at low levels of exposure. Mercury is found in switches, thermostats, controls, and the like. We avoid mercury in all our installations and are very careful when we remove it from the buildings we treat. We find appropriate ways to collect and dispose of the mercury we remove. I understand that Honeywell, a major manufacturer of thermostats and controls, has a mercuryrecycling program. (There is a mercury recyclers association; their Web site is www.almr.org.) We still use PVC for exhaust piping. Combustion exhaust is not an area for experimentation. Metal piping has a history of failing when it is exposed to the corrosive acids in the exhaust. Other plastics lose structural integrity and sag at a lower temperature than PVC does. So we feel that this is an appropriate use of vinyl.
Furnaces, air conditioners, and ductwork. The challenges here are pretty much the same as they are with boilers, except for the effects of using flex duct and the global warming impacts associated with the use, and corresponding loss, of refrigerants. As home performance contractors, we know the performance hazards of flex duct
and we are already on a mission to reduce its use. We also like to bury ducts with cellulose when we get the chance. There are several environmentally appropriate refrigerant choices for new equipment. The relative global warming impact of most refrigerants is very high.According to the Energy Information Agency, 2003 emissions of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), typically used in refrigerants,were equivalent to 111 million tons of CO2, so capturing old refrigerants and preventing refrigerant leaks is a big way to improve the environment. We are also promoting groundsource heat pump systems as a choice in our climate, which has both a heating and a cooling demand.
Lighting and appliances.There is a variable amount of mercury content in fluorescent lighting. Research by groups such as Envirospec is helping to develop databases that large purchasers or even contractors can use to help them select lighting that is lower in mercury. Our nonenergy efforts in the appliance area are limited at this point to recycling. NYSERDA has wisely included appliance recycling in its refrigerator replacement program. Of course we install only Energy Star appliances, and we educate our customers about plug load issues.
Finally, there is the issue of recycling and reducing waste.We recycle and reuse houses by making them work better and last longer. This becomes increasingly important as land becomes more and more scarce. The greenest building you can build is not a new one; it is a reused old one. So the more we know about making existing buildings work, the bigger the positive impact we have on the environment.We also recycle waste at the job site and salvage materials like radiators. These reusable materials are donated to a local nonprofit materials recycler in exchange for donation receipts.
We continue to make our operations more efficient by taking into account the fuel economy of our vehicles when we purchase them, and by improving the efficiency of our building. We also purchase green products for use in our own office.
All of the above information can be used to help customers understand how we are greening our business. We put this information on our Web site and include it in our presentations to customers. The more they feel that we are treating the environment right, the more we will get referrals from customers who care about that part of our work.
Greening your business is the right thing to do, both to help protect the environment and to help create important linkages to a rapidly expanding market (see "The Business Advantages of Home Performance Versus Renewable Energy"). There are a lot of commonsense things we can do to take the next step to green our businesses. We may think we are already green—maybe even greener than the neighbors— but if we don't learn to speak the language and effectively communicate what we are doing, we may miss major opportunities. Residential green construction and remodeling is busy and growing, with or without building performance. My experience is that green remodelers,and even consumers, are ready to hear about the importance of building performance. Building performance is part of what they see as a general move toward best practices that include protecting the environment. We may tend to see green building as represented by the more fringe elements, as is often the case with social movements,but there are also a lot of solid practitioners who want to do the right thing and they see the right thing as green building. We are doing building performance for just the same reason. I think we have a lot to talk about together.

Regular Price: $259.99
On sale now for: $239.99
The front of the helmet looks very similar to the original CPX with the visor being separate from the Shell (the Pro 7?s are molded to the shell). Unlike the Pro 7, where you only had two options for the cage of the helmet (black or chrome), you will be able to select a titanium cage for a modest up-charge. By bringing back this option, you can now make this helmet even lighter than it already is.
As you look at the shell, one feature is the ridge on the back. The idea behind this feature is to help balance the overall weight of the helmet. This helps create a better weight distribution throughout the entire helmet instead of making it front heavy -which was an issue in the Pro 7 with certain customers we heard from. Also, you will notice the lines throughout the shell. This design was actually inspired by auto design and gives the helmet a new sleek look.
The interior of the helmet uses the same technology as the Pro 7 with the SevenTech liner system. How this liner system works is that it displaces energy from a direct impact to the helmet – a must have in a concussion prone sport. Also featured in the CPX-R is the popular SPRfit hardtail, used in the CLH2 and CS models. This allows the helmet to be adjusted from XS all the way up to XL, meaning no more worrying about holding onto size pads. Be the first on your team this coming year with an amazing new helmet!

This story was updated on Feb. 19, 2013.
When the Bullis School boys' varsity basketball players took to the court Friday and Saturday nights, players wore patches with the name Cami on their sleeves, honoring their classmate who died suddenly Feb. 9 in her Rockville home.
Camille "Cami" Baruch was a senior at the small, private Potomac school with a senior class of just 85 students. She was described by family and friends as witty, sarcastic and vivacious.
Cami, 19, had Crohn's disease and spent nearly 500 days in the past four years in a hospital room, but was recovering, according to her mother, Annette Baruch. Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory condition of the gastrointestinal tract, according to the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America.
"We considered her a normal teen. We were shocked," Annette Baruch said. "She had big plans for her future."
Cami complained of cold symptoms and on Feb. 8, visited her gastroenterologist, who put her on medication that she had taken in the past, Baruch said.
Cami went to bed that night and never woke up.
Baruch said she and her husband, Stephen, administered CPR and called 911 the next morning. An autopsy is being performed so the Baruchs can get answers.
"We are absolutely clueless. We will be waiting on that autopsy," she said. "I hope it brings us some comfort. It is a terrible thing not to know."
What the Baruchs do know is that their daughter was a straight-A student waiting to hear back from Cornell University, University of Virginia and Wake Forest. Cami's brother, Nate, 20, attends Cornell.
She already had been accepted into the University of Miami, where her older sister Jessica attends graduate school.
Cami wanted to study medicine in college and become a surgeon to help others with Crohn's disease, especially women.
"She dealt with a lot of doctors and felt there were not enough women in that field (colorectal)," Baruch said.
Cami lived much of her life without Crohn's disease, battling with the gastrointestinal disease starting in 2007. Annette Baruch said the onset of Cami's Crohn's disease is believed to be linked to the generic equivalent of Accutane, an acne medication. Cami's case was featured in a New York Times article about generic drugs.
She also worked with Congressman Christopher Van Hollen Jr. (D-Dist. 8) of Kensington and the Alliance for Justice to try to create legislation that deals with generic drugs and lawsuits.
Baruch said although the maker of Accutane was sued for its effects on patients, the generic version of the drug was not held liable for the same issues.
"Before 2007, she was never sick. She was an exceptional athlete and played basketball, softball and soccer. We were that family that ran from one practice to another. Our Saturdays were crammed with athletic events," Baruch said.
Friday, the Bullis basketball team lined up for the national anthem before its playoff game with patches donated by G Street fabrics in Rockville on their shirts. The team and fans observed a moment of silence in Cami's memory. On Thursday, the Bullis ice hockey team wore stickers with Cami's name on their helmets, according to Bullis Director of Communications Susie Zimmerman.
A Facebook page in her memory has nearly 1,000 likes.
Gerald L. Boarman, the Head of School for Bullis, wrote on the page:
"Cami was an exemplary student and a beautiful person, kind-hearted, generous and with a great sense of humor. Her absence will leave a large gap in our hearts and in our community and her memory will always be a part of our School."
On Feb. 13, a busload of students attended her funeral. "She was very well-loved in the community. We as a school community are still absorbing the shock and finding ways to remember her," Zimmerman said.
Annette Baruch said Cami would be honored by the commemorative patch.
"It really makes us feel good," she said. "Cami and me and her dad spent a lot of time together sitting in the hospital talking about a lot of things. She's funny. She was exceptionally fond of elephants and she wanted to find a way to save them, but also be a surgeon. We expected she would do that. She's been through a lot and she's always rallied time and time again. She was determined."
Memorial donations can be made to: Save the Elephant Program at the Wildlife Conservation Network, The Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America or the Ronald McDonald House of Cleveland.

Southern Style Macaroni and CheeseThis is not a mac and cheese you want to serve once a week but more say for company, pot lucks, special occasions, events, or holidays ... but I so wanted to make it to share with you. Oh the sacrifice!
This recipe makes a huge casserole dish perfect for the holidays, but also can be easily halved. For the full recipe you'll need a large pan that will hold 8 quarts; for a half pan use a 4 quart dish. As with all macaroni and cheese, serve this hot, right out of the oven if you possibly can. To reheat casserole, stir in a little extra milk before heating.
You must follow this recipe exactly and make no substitutes! Use only the original version of Velveeta brand processed cheese - no generics, no lower fat varieties. Use whole milk. Use real, pure butter - not margarine, not a butter substitute. Use only block cheese that you shred yourself, since pre-shredded cheese has fillers and stablizers in it that may affect the outcome of the recipe, and use sharp cheddar, not mild. If you make substitutes or changes, your results will not be the same. There is a reason this is called special occasion!
Steven W: I have been making mac and cheese for years and it has always been a disaster! I made it for my clients over Thanksgiving! You have saved my life. ALL HAIL DEEP SOUTH DISH! I own a catering company in Maryland and I use your recipes all the time. What a life saver! Thank you!If you're looking for something a little less rich, more for every day, check out my Everyday Macaroni and Cheese.
Karen F: I have to tell you that I tried your macaroni and cheese for thanksgiving, and it was a huge success. I have never been able to master mac and cheese, but I am the queen now.
Wendy H: Made your wonderful Holiday Mac and Cheese! My family raved about it! Also made your wonderful buttermilk biscuits!
Angel H. I made your Mac-n-cheese for Thanksgiving! It was amazing and will be the go to recipe from now on!
Recipe: Mary's Southern Style Special Occasion Macaroni and Cheese©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 20 min |Bake time: 35 min | Yield: About 12 servings
- 2 pounds of medium cut elbow macaroni
- 1 pound of sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 pound of Monterey jack cheese
- 2 pound block of original Velveeta brand cheese
- 2 to 2-1/2 cups of whole milk
- 4 large eggs, beaten
- Kosher salt, freshly cracked pepper and Cajun seasoning, to taste
- 1 cup (2 sticks) of pure butter
Butter or spray a large baking dish or casserole pan with non-stick cooking spray; set aside. For the full recipe you'll need a large pan that will hold 8 quarts; for a half pan use a 4 quart dish. Boil noodles, rinse, drain and set aside. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Shred the cheddar and jack cheeses, stir together and set aside. Meanwhile, pour 2 cups of milk into a large saucepan and warm over medium low heat. Cut up the Velveeta into chunks, add to the saucepan and cook over medium low heat until all of the cheese has melted. Add the additional milk only if needed to thin. Remove from the heat and set aside. Crack the eggs into a separate bowl and lightly whisk. Scoop out some of the cheese sauce and slowly add that to the eggs to temper them, continuously whisking as you add the liquid to the eggs. Once well tempered, add the eggs to the cheese sauce and whisk together until well mixed.
Add half of the elbow noodles to the baking pan and season with salt, pepper and Cajun seasoning. Slice thin layers of butter and spread them around on top of the noodles. Sprinkle 1/2 of the cheddar/jack cheese combo over the noodles. Ladle 1/2 of the Velveeta cheese sauce over that. Repeat the layers of noodles, seasoning, butter, cheddar/jack cheese, and Velveeta sauce.
Cook at 375 degrees F, uncovered for about 30 to 35 minutes, or until bubbly and lightly browned on top. Makes about 12 servings.
Cook's Notes: This is a big batch recipe, meant to feed a holiday crowd, but it also halves very nicely. Size matters with your pasta noodles also, so look for a medium cut elbow, not too small, not too large or jumbo. Do not make substitutes, use low or reduced fat products, margarine, or a generic brand processed cheese. I use Velveeta brand processed cheese, sharp cheddar (not mild), whole milk and Land O'Lakes brand pure butter. Do not substitute pre-shredded cheeses as they contain fillers and stablizers that will affect the results.

text: Dolphin Stories Wednesday, September 18, 2013 Dolphins DIVE Into Service 7:42 AM :: 12478 Views The very year the Society of Jesus was founded – 1540 – its members opened a soup kitchen in a church provided for their use by Pope Paul III, the Madonna dellaLEARN MORE ABOUT THE JESUIT TRADITION Strada Chapel. It was there that they fed and ministered to members of the local community, beginning a tradition of service and a commitment to social justice that has characterized the order for the past five centuries. On Saturday, Sept. 21, approximately 90 members of the Le Moyne community built upon this legacy as they participated in Dolphins Dive into Service, a campus-wide day of volunteering. "We're all called to leave our desks and give a piece of our hearts to the poor and needy, tapping into the lives of people who struggle, meeting them, engaging with them," said Campus Minister Bill Dolan, S.J., principal organizer of the event. "My hope is that this will help to deepen our students' awareness of society's least-advantaged people and impress upon them how important it is to lift up our fellow man." During the day, members of the Le Moyne community assisted a wide variety of organizations – including the Interreligious Food Consortium, Franciscan Church of the Assumption, Emmaus Ministries, L'Arche Communities of Syracuse, All Saints Parish, St. Lucy's, Christ the King Retreat House and the Rescue Mission – by preparing meals, sorting supplies and painting, among other tasks. They will also aid in an end of summer cleanup at Schiller Park. Father Dolan said that the primary goal of the event was to promote a culture of service among Le Moyne students by allowing them to work for agencies whose central mission is to help the poor and disenfranchised. During the 2012-13 academic year, Le Moyne students performed more than 27,000 hours of service, helping Syracuse residents file their tax returns; rebuilding storm-damaged homes in New Orleans; caring for the sick in Ghana; and teaching English to children in Ecuador. Since his election in March of 2012, Pope Francis, the first Jesuit pontiff, has called upon Catholics around the world to serve those in need, writing via Twitter that, "The measure of the greatness of a society is found in the way it treats those most in need, those who have nothing apart from their poverty." Father Dolan's hope is to continue to build upon that spirit. "That is our mission," he said. "Helping souls."

Vitamin E is used to refer to a group of fat-soluble compounds that include both tocopherols and tocotrienols. There are many different forms of vitamin E, of which γ-tocopherol is the most common in the North American diet. γ-Tocopherol can be found in corn oil, soybean oil, margarine and dressings. α-Tocopherol, the most biologically active form of vitamin E, is the second most common form of vitamin E in the North American diet. This variant of vitamin E can be found most abundantly in wheat germ oil, sunflower, and safflower oils. It is a fat-soluble antioxidant that stops the production of reactive oxygen species formed when fat undergoes oxidation. Shop A2Z Discount Vitamins and save on our discount vitamin E supplements.
