Giving Online This Holiday Season

It's never too early to consider charitable donations for the upcoming Holiday Season - it's also easier than ever to establish donation vehicles all year long with tools like "First Giving".

From KME Internet Marketing's Loudoun SEO/SEM Blog

"Heading into the Holiday season, especially in this very dire economic climate, it's likely that donations to charity will be much slimmer this particular year. It is, however, much easier than ever before to donate online to your favorite charity or non-profit, and it very well may be a much more appreciated and needed contribution this year over others past. Here in Loudoun County, for example, the prospect of significant cutbacks in County services and philanthropic donations is pointing to 2009 as a year in which all charitable services and foundations will have to work harder than ever to keep up with expenses and fundraising while just maintaining basic services.

Consider establishing a personal or company-sponsored fundraiser - to help whatever charitable interest you're most concerned with..."

KME Internet Marketing, for example, recently established an online fundraiser for the Loudoun Education Foundation.

Economy Drives Frivolous Lawsuits Way Up

Speaking with our USAA Insurance Agent the other day, the topic came up that this particular insurance carrier is experiencing a large increase in the number of lawsuits it needs to defend its members against. It turns out that the failing economy is driving many persons to comb through old records involving accidents they were in, hire a sleazy, crafty lawyer, and slap a quick lawsuit together in the expectation that the insurer will generate a quick settlement. Easy cash, is the expectation.

There is, checking around the web, also evidence that the rate of employee-filed lawsuits against their employers is way up, also, in addition to person-to-person lawsuits.

Filing frivolous lawsuits in the hopes of a quick payday is a clear sign of the rising level of desperation among struggling homeowners, and the vultures they attract.

Whether you're an individual or business, check your insurance policy, and make sure it's up to date with appropriate liability coverage against lawsuits.

Signs of a Maturing Community? - Tiny Toy Micro Teacup Purse Babies

Bed buddies, purse babies, teacups, tiny toys, micro rats, yipping hamsters, laprats, drop-kicks...however you label them, they're swarming. Here in Dulles South.


At Starbuck's, on the sidewalks, in cars - it's hard to get a quick jog up without fear of a "yipyipyip" "hey, get off my pookie!".

Why is this? Why are so many Loudoun Moms adopting a 3rd round of dependents, in these fluffymicro packages? Some may point to a maturing bedroom community, where the kids are now in school, the original family dogs have retired "to the farm", and the 9-2 empty-nesters are looking for something to dress, to talk to, to entertain...

Where "the new granite" of last year may have portended some degree of economic recovery, this year's micro poodle/rat terrier adoption wave just doesn't make sense. On the one hand, a new dog (small as it is) brings along lots of mess (from both ends), noise, vet bills, fleas, house destruction, wardrobe stress (!) and altogether more trouble and expense than one would think practical to assume in this economic context. On the other hand, perhaps the solace, love, companionship and just plain bitesize furriness is what's needed to get through the day.

Either way, watch your step, and watch where you sit.

Dulles South Loudoun Hospital - Rt. 50

Just found this site concerning "The Next Loudoun Hospital", overviewing why the next Southern Loudoun Hospital (Dulles South) area needs to be on Rt. 50.

At issue is the ongoing battle between HCA's intention for a Broadlands area hospital (Broadlands Regional Medical Center, BRMC), and INOVA's intention for a Rt. 50/Dulles South hospital. Some good story background here.

There exists significant opposition by Broadlands residents to the prospect of a hospital in their backyard, as demonstrated by this Stop BRMC site. There's also significant support, at this BRMC support site.

Having lived and conducted business here in the Dulles South region (South Riding) for over 10 years, and traveled extensively to Fairfax or Fair Oaks hospitals and emergency rooms, it's entirely obvious and rational to us that the next significant medical center be built in the Rt. 50/Dulles South corridor, supplementing the recently added Dulles South Urgent Care Centers.

Driving to Broadlands for hospital services, emergency or not, doesn't make sense for any resident along the Rt. 50 corridor - if the option is to actually have a facility on Rt. 50.

The next BRMC/Broadlands Planning Commission Hearing will be on October 15, 2008, 6 PM, at:

Eagle Ridge Middle School
42901 Waxpool Road
Ashburn, Virginia 20148

Loudoun Math Survey - Incomprehensible

We recently took a look through the Loudoun Parent's Math Survey.

This extremely detailed, mind-bending and educational jargon-laden survey is extremely hard to understand, replete with seeming contradictions or nonsensical statements, and truly can only be completed by Loudoun parents with at least a college education and utter mastery of the English language.

No wonder the curriculum and outcome never seems to reflect parental input. Suggestion to LCPS - rewrite this survey, so "No Parents Will be Left Behind".

Here's some of our favorites - you're not asked to evaluate whether these items are actually occuring, but whether they're important at all.

"The mathematics curriculum content and materials afford students the opportunity to develop conceptual understanding in the areas of Number and Number Sense/ Computation and Estimation, Geometry/Measurement, Probability/Statistics, and Algebraic Thinking (Patterns and Functions)."

..um, this is what math is, right? so it's important, right? And students should be able to afford it?

"The mathematics curriculum provides opportunities for application of knowledge and skills across subject areas."

..um, so if math skills aren't applied to subject areas, what are they applied to? The refrigerator?

"Teachers possess an understanding of grade-level math concepts identified in the curriculum"

..um, that sounds important, that the Teachers should understand what they're teaching - right?

"Lessons are provided until students demonstrate mastery of mathematics concepts."

...does this mean lessons just keep going all weekend, all summer, to infinity and beyond? (although mathematically impossible)

"Scoring guides for classroom assessments with clearly defined criteria are used (i.e., rubrics)."

...so, teachers will use a rubix cube to score tests?

Update 9/25 - according to an LCPS email:

Loudoun County Public Schools' Math Survey has been extended until Wednesday, October 1. A glossary of terms has been added to the survey on the LCPS Web page, www.loudoun.k12.va.us, to help complete the survey more easily. (The very short glossary is actually not on the main page, it's here).

Loudoun and Fairfax Television Studio Production Tours at Trivision

Student Tours Inspire Tomorrow’s Creative Minds

TriVision Studios has a long history of working with universities and trade schools in the region with the goal of encouraging and cultivating young talent interested in working in such fields as graphic design, web development, video production, and marketing.

Since its expansion into a 12,000 square feet state-of-the-art media production studio in Chantilly, Virginia (Rt. 50 across from Lafayette Plaza), TriVision Studios has emerged as a touring spot for schools around the area.

One of the schools in point is ITT Technical Institute, a leading private college system focused on technology-oriented programs of study. It operates over 100 ITT Technical Institutes in more than 30 states which predominantly provide career-focused, degree programs to approximately 54,000 students. Each semester, ITT school has brought their students to TriVision to get a “behind-the-scenes” field tour of the studio. With approximately 40 students in each group, ITT students get a detailed "insider look" at what goes into producing projects, such as television commercials, music videos, web sites, and logo designs. There is also a question and answer session where students get an opportunity to gain insight on specific topics ranging from the technical know-how of equipment and software to tips on catching a potential employer’s interest. For many of these students, it will be the first and only time they’ll get to see a real-life work environment before they graduate.

In addition to providing tours of the Chantilly facility, TriVision also offers internships to students of area schools. These internships provide valuable real life experience that help prepare the visionaries of tomorrow with a peak of what to expect once they reach the full-time work force.

For more information on ITT Technical Institute please visit them at www.itt-tech.edu. For information on future internship programs with TriVision Studios, please contact a TriVision representative.

Frank Wolfe and Pierce Homer address Dulles South Business Alliance in Loudoun County

Today's Dulles South Business Alliance meeting in Southern Loudoun County, Rt. 50 corridor, featured guest speakers Congressman Frank Wolf (US House, 10th Virginia District) and Virginia State Secretary of Transportation Pierce Homer. Attendance was light, mainly DSBA members (Dulles South business owners and landowners) and directors, at the Pleasant Valley United Methodist Church.



Most updates focused on transportation issues, with by far the most spirited comments on Wolf's part regarding the Dulles Greenway rate hikes - deeming them "unfair, based on a flawed law". His comments mostly revolved around the pressures and cost burdens levied upon Moms and Dads, driving to and from work and family/children responsibilities...this was a similar argument he made for supporting the Dulles Rail extension, which would not only give us a "2-seat ride to the Global economy" (as put by Homer), but also was the most important transportation issue in this region - that actually had a fast-closing window of opportunity for actual success and funding, given the rapidly declining picture for transportation infrastructure funding across the State.

On the score of funding for transportation issues, Homer was frankly dire - noting that while the Dulles Rail project had a "very good chance of success", most other local or regional projects are all going to be reconsidered in the next few weeks, and most information to come out of the "reconsiderations" will not be happy news for our area or elsewhere.

Wolf's other major sounding board was his "Cooper-Wolf" bill - a bi-partisan (55/45 republican/democrat) bill to broadly address the "gathering storm, an economic tsunami" of USA debt/spending issues. Additionally, he commented directly on the need for consideration of considerable attention and spending in the area of alternative energy studies (i.e. USA energy independence), along with domestic drilling opportunities. He noted that Cuba's recently granted licenses to China for offshore drilling between Cuba and Florida, where the US is currently restricted by legislation.

Some questions followed, mostly dealing with Rt. 50-specific issues - in all, an honest appraisal of the very difficult transportation infrastructure situation the state faces due to the significantly deteriorating revenue base, significantly increasing building costs, and very significantly increasing gap the US faces in maintaining global competitiveness.

Loudoun Bicycle Outfitters and South Riding Triathlon

Here's a quick shout-out (and what we call in Virginia Internet Marketing "link-love") to the great folks at the Leesburg, Loudoun County Bicycle Outfitters shop, for their great work in supporting the South Riding Triathlon. (Find their link now also at Dulles South Online, Loudoun Business Links).



I brought my decrepit old wife's bike (now repurposed as high-performance triathletic gear, at least in my mind) to the bike checkup today before the big race...the very nice folks on hand from Loudoun's Bicycle Outfitters (without any skeptical "is your grandma riding this?" comments) checked it over, determined it needed a bit of "tightening" at critical joints, fixed it up, and declared it "safe and usable". Many thanks for the help, and we look forward to watching (from behind) a cavalcade of safe and well-tuned bikes in tomorrow's race.

Math Results Spinning in Prince William

Today's WAPO article "Pr. William Pupils Still Grapple With Math Test" appears to be a masterful exercise in the "spin", by Prince William County. Essentially, the "Math Investigations" program introduced last year amidst wide derision by Parents and Teachers has failed to produce any metrics of success. Zero - and in fact partially negative - progress in improving 3rd grade math performance for yet another year.




Take note, Loudoun County Public Schools(LCPS) - as Edgar Hatrick (LCPS Superintendent) answered our question a year ago when asked about Math Investigations in Loudoun - "we are evaluating the use of Math Investigations..." Well, it seems evaluation period is over, based both on the experience of parents and children we know in Loudoun, Fairfax and Prince William, and on reports and metrics such as the WAPO article describe.

The "spin", however, is swirling faster than the center of TS Hannah today. The article quotes "many" education experts and area school officials "hailing" Investigations, while "some" parents and educators "deriding" it. Our informal surveys of online and offline response to the program have these measures reversed, with "most" parents and educators solidly in the camp of derision. Prince William school officials said "it was an accomplishment that the overall percentage of proficient and advanced students stayed flat...because new programs often result in sudden drops". (Cue pause of disbelief while your mind wraps itself around this nonsense.) Such an "accomplishment" of "no change at all" reminds me of my teenage lifeguard test - tread water and don't drown for 30 minutes, and you pass.

A spokeswoman for Pearson (publishers of the Investigations program material) said "if Investigations were not successful, why would Pearson continue publishing it year after year after year?". Simple answer - it's just business. Ask the cigarette manufacturers the same question - "if smoking actually kills you, why would we keep selling cigarettes year after year?". Because a lot of money is to be made.

Here's an interesting quote regarding Loudoun, from the Teachers.net bulletin board - " I talked to a 3rd grade teacher from a school in Loudoun who was told to be doing "full investigations" if asked. However, the teacher told me they SUPPLEMENTED 75 percent of the year and did MI only 25 percent. The admin said you do what you got to do to pass that test. They got 94 percent and they really didn't do Math Inv. but they have to pretend they did!! "

Keep supplementing, and stop pretending

July Home Sales up in Northern Virginia Real Estate Market

South Riding Triathlon - Over the Hill Racing

The South Riding Triathlon is coming to Dulles South - Sept. 7th, 7AM, starting near Freedom High School. By the looks of the competition, this event is yanking all the latent, aged athleticism out of the South Riding garages - for what's sure to be a real community event.

Team KME Internet Marketing will be there - 1 individual, and 1 team...so get out and root! (at 7AM, you lubbers!).

Browsing the participant list, more than half of the 326 registered are first-timers, with 94 40-somethings trying to outdo 131 30-somethings. This is also sure to be a menagerie of competitive equipment and style; many competitors we know are basically brushing the cobwebs off the cruising bikes, patching the helmets, getting new shoelaces and struggling to find a bathing suit that both fits and doubles as running/biking shorts. My individual bike, for example, is a 15 year-old Giant mountainbike, with 3 working gears, constant brake rubbing, massive tires and weight, and plenty of squeaking to alert other riders of my slowness. But it works, and may come in useful for a few "shortcuts".

I've decided I'm guaranteed a first place finish in my particular (and private) division, which is the "significantly-past-40-and-20-years-since-college-athletics-now-with-cruddy-equipment-and-40-extra-pounds-and-four-kids-but-stoked-on-hops-oriented-Sat.-night-carb-loading-and-therefore-likely-to-finish-if-not-puke" category.

There's likely quite a crowd in this category, from the looks of things.

Celebrate 375 Maryland years of History in St. Mary’s County – PAX River area.

Did you know – Maryland will be celebrating its 375th birthday next year, 2009. “MD375” or “Celebrate 375” activities and events, as they’re known, will take place all over the state – though the focal point will be St. Mary’s county – a.k.a. “Maryland’s Birthplace”. “Celebrate 375” is in fact the official name of the Celebrate Maryland 2009 program underway by the St. Mary’s County Division of Tourism, headquartered in Leonardtown, MD – in the “PAX River” area of Southern Maryland.

St. Mary’s County, MD is part of the Southern Maryland region (SOMD), and also known as the PAX River area. A prominent landmark and economic engine is the Patuxent (PAX) River Naval Air Station (NAS). Pt. Lookout, a State of Maryland Park on the extreme southern tip of St. Mary’s County, in the Chesapeake Bay, is a mere 100 minute drive direct to downtown Washington DC (with little traffic!). St. Mary’s county is also home to many significant Southern Maryland businesses and other attractions, from Cherry Cove St. Mary’s Hotels and Hospitality services to St. Mary’s college and the numerous waterways and beaches perfect for St. Mary’s sailing or crabbing!

(All you Loudoun Landlubbers need to head on over to St. Mary’s for a nice daytrip or weekend, unencumbered by Bay Bridge traffic! We recommend Rt.4 to Solomons Island and across the “big bridge”, as the most trouble-free route.)






From Wikipedia: “The settlement of Lord Baltimore's Maryland began with the arrival of passengers from England at St. Clement's Island in the Potomac River in what is now southwestern St. Mary's County on March 25, 1634 (the anniversary of this landing being annually celebrated as Maryland Day). The passengers arrived in two vessels, the Ark and the Dove, which had set sail from the Isle of Wight on November 22, 1633. The county is also home to the first Catholic Mass celebrated in the original thirteen colonies.”

Celebrating 375 years will be an all-out effort and focus by St. Mary’s government, hospitality businesses and organizations, to both showcase the region’s 375 years of Maryland history, and attract families, tourists, visitors and businesses to the area. Information and special events, deals and other services will be available regarding St. Mary’s hotels and hospitality resources, as the MD 375 events are planned and begin next year. More “MD375” or “Celebrate 375” information will shortly be available via participating businesses, partners and organizations, along with the host St. Mary’s County Tourism Division. PAX River Online businesses and partners will also be promoting 375 years of Maryland history founded in St. Mary’s county. The PAX River Blog will be regularly providing photos and info about St. Mary’s Celebrate 375 events.
