Here is a appeal from the Mid-Atlantic Foundation for Safety and Education "School’s Open - Drive Carefully" Campaign! Did you know that 50% of children struck by cars near schools are hit by parents driving other children to school? * This is one reason why the Mid-Atlantic Foundation for Safety and Education would like to remind you that in just a few days "School’s Open - Drive Carefully" . Here's a checklist of ways you can help to keep our children safe: Slow down near schools and in residential areas. Drive with your headlights on - even during the day - so children and other drivers can see you. Look for clues such as AAA School Safety Patrollers, bicycles and playgrounds that indicate children could be in the area. Scan between parked cars and other objects for signs of children. Practice extra caution in bad weather. Always stop for school buses that are loading or unloading students. Make a gift of $20.09 ...

I love the Rockville library and I wanted to seek the local area readers of this blog to see if they could help ; Message from Aileen Klein  : (I have removed her phone number and email but pls comment here or email me from my contact info on this blog and I will send the info to you-Thanks) We have just received an email from the manager of the Rockville library that the books donated to the FOL are becoming a problem.   The reason for this is that we do not have volunteers committed to a regular schedule who would come in to sort and pack the books.   Currently our books are taking up all of the staff work space and it is against county policy to have the library staff handle donated books (nor do they have the time).   As we are all aware, the library patronage has increased as the economic downturn has occurred and thus the library staff has their hands full handling all of the extra work that has created.

This was part of the beer summit , originally uploaded by ShashiBellamkonda . Dana Milbank wrote a great article - " Beer Summit Wasn't One for the Guinness Book " where is concentrates on the brands , corporate origins and appropriateness and also gives a very colorful choice of beer selections for other politicians.

If the US and the Russian presidents can solve the issue with a Vodka summit the Cold war will never be back . This takes care of the western world. Manmohan Singh India's Prime Minister according to pr...
