"If you can't have the [static magnetic] field you love, love the [static magnetic] field you have." - William A. Edelstein
Ever have an MRI? If so, you benefited from many inventions by Bill Edelstein, whose passing, earlier this week, is mourned by many.

Help Preserve Rock Creek Hills Park.
Supporters of Rock Creek Hills Park have contributed to the ongoing legal effort to enforce federal, state, and county park protection laws and overturn a decision to obliterate the park. We've come really far, but there's much more to do.
Learn more at SaveRockCreekHillsPark.org.
Thank you.

Today is the 75th anniversary of George S. Patton's anticipation of the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Board Rescinds Park Choice; Restarts Site Search.
Today, at the recommendation of Montgomery County (Maryland) Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Joshua P. Starr, who began in that position on July 1st, the Montgomery County Board of Education voted to begin a new site selection process for the second Bethesda - Chevy Chase Middle School, rescinding their April 28th resolution that had selected the site of Rock Creek Hills Park.
However, Rock Creek Hills Park remains at risk (even though it fails to meet the overwhelming majority of the specified site evaluation criteria).
If you want to preserve this important community asset and support high-quality cost-effective education, please join us now in spreading the word to others who care about good parks and strong schools. Join us on Facebook!

"Here's what we've done to help."
"...understanding the availability of the site is key to avoiding wasting time, resources, and scarce tax dollars pursuing an option that may not exist."
"Doing so would be consistent with the due diligence that is required in any site selection, and in this case, it could help avoid enforcement actions or threats to future funding."

"res ipsa loquitur"
NeuroCooking friends who have been following our community's efforts to save Rock Creek Hills Park may be interested in this: A one-minute YouTube video, comprising two half-minute clips, has been posted to www.SaveRockCreekHillsPark.org on its own – that is, with no accompanying text (other than a title: "MCPS 'Feasibility Study' Process Lacks Integrity").

What I said to the Board last night: "... don't build a costly and deficient school on this little park."
