RPB's emphasis is on high-potential investigators. There is an RPB grant category available to a scientist at any stage in his or her career--from a medical student considering academic eye research to a seasoned investigator extending the frontiers of vision science.
Grants are awarded not only on the merits of the proposed project, but on the demonstrated independence of a researcher and the vibrancy of the environment within which the proposed work will be conducted.
Applications for RPB grants must be submitted by the chairman of a department of ophthalmology and are then evaluated via a three-tiered review process. RPB Ad Hoc Committees, which are comprised of selected national vision research leaders, conduct initial grant reviews and forward their recommendations to the standing RPB Scientific Advisory Panel for further evaluation. The Advisory Panel includes some of the nation's most distinguished scientists representing a broad range of scientific disciplines and interests. Their recommendations are presented to the RPB Board of Trustees for final approval.
At many research institutions, RPB's support creates a multiplier effect. Unrestricted grants are used to acquire larger government grants. At the same time, the flexibility of RPB support allows government-supported investigators to pursue additional research. The successes generated by these scenarios can attract donors to support university research and capital projects, further expanding capacity across the vision research community.
Some RPB-supported studies affect societal issues, such as the adequacy of eye care in nursing homes, or factors that influence an individual's decision to stop driving. Still other advances have implications for the treatment of illnesses beyond those of vision.
|"For many departments of ophthalmology, being able to count on RPB in the form of an unrestricted grant literally allows the research program to survive through bad times," notes Peter J. McDonnell, M.D., Chairman, The Wilmer Eye Institute.
Please note: Grant applications are not available on RPB's website. For complete grant guidelines and applications, or if you have any questions regarding RPB's Grants Program, contact RPB's Grant Administrator at 212.752.4333 or email@example.com.
RPB accepts grant applications twice a year, January 10th and July 1st, for the grant categories listed below. Guidelines and application forms must be requested by the chair of the department of ophthalmology or the department's grant coordinator. Departments of ophthalmology must have an RPB Unrestricted / Challenge Grant in order to apply for individual grants, and only permanent, full-time department chairs are eligible to apply for an Unrestricted / Challenge Grant.
New chairs should speak with RPB's President prior to the submission of an application. If a proposal for an Unrestricted or Challenge Grant is rejected, the chair must wait two years before reapplying, so RPB strongly encourages thorough preparation and planning before an application is submitted.
If you are interested in any of these grant opportunities, first consult with your Department Chairman, Grant Coordinator and/or Director of Research. Click on a grant category for a fuller description.
RPB UNRESTRICTED GRANTS provide maximum flexibility in developing and expanding eye research programs. These annual $115K grants provide opportunities for creative planning that go beyond the scope of restricted project grants that scientists normally depend upon for their principal support. Only departments of ophthalmology with a full-time, permanent chair at university-connected medical schools are eligible for support.
RPB CHALLENGE GRANTS encourage growth for newly-emerging eye research programs and recently appointed research directors at non-grantee ophthalmology departments at university-connected medical schools. These unrestricted $300K grants are awarded over a 4-year period.
RPB PHYSICIAN-SCIENTIST AWARDS help to strengthen and promote clinical and/or basic research done by clinicians in RPB Grantee ophthalmology departments. Two $300,000 grants, payable over three years, will be awarded each spring, offering support for early or mid-career MDs or MD/PhDs holding primary positions as Assistant Professors through Associate Professors in ophthalmology departments. PhDs are ineligible. Candidates should be nationally recognized in their subspecialty and actively engaged in research. Only one application in this category will be accepted from any RPB Grantee chair.
RPB WALT AND LILLY DISNEY AWARD FOR AMBYLOPIA RESEARCH was initiated to strengthen and promote research to improve the diagnosis and treatment of amblyopia. Grants will be offered to assist exceptional ophthalmic scientists [MD or PhD], doing research of unusual significance and promise in this area. RPB grants a total of $100K each spring, to be divided among one or two awardees at a time. This award is available through spring 2015. The nominee's primary appointment must be in ophthalmology, and may range from Assistant Professor to full Professor. Although this Award is meant to support amblyopia investigators at various stages of their academic careers, be advised that proposals should reflect independent research. Only one nomination per school will be considered in this grant category.
RPB SPECIAL SCHOLAR AWARDS, ranging in amount from $25K to $75K, are granted each spring to encourage promising young ophthalmic researchers. Nominees must be Assistant Professors, with primary appointments in the department of ophthalmology. Proposals should reflect independent research. Only one Scholars Award candidate per school may be nominated per spring review cycle.
RPB CAREER DEVELOPMENT AWARDS help recruit young MDs &/or PhDs to eye research and support promising junior ophthalmology faculty. The $300,000 grant is payable in equal annual installments over four years. Candidates may be sought from either ophthalmology or basic science departments within one's own institution or from other institutions. Nominees must have, or be recruited to, primary appointments in ophthalmology with academic positions up to and including Assistant Professor. Nominations must be made during the last year of the candidate's most recent postdoc training (residency or fellowship), or within the ensuing three years. MDs and MD/PhDs will be required to devote 50% of their time to research activities, with 60% desirable. PhDs must have secondary appointments in basic science departments.
The RPB Stein Innovation Awards provide funds to two groups of researchers, both with a common goal of understanding the visual system and the diseases that compromise its function. These SI Awards, $300,000 payable in two payments, are intended to provide venture capital and seed money to proposed high-risk/high-gain vision science research which is innovative, cutting-edge, and demonstrates out-of-the-box thinking. The proposed research cannot be funded – previously or currently – by others (NEI, NIH, nonprofits, private funders, etc.). Researchers with their primary appointment in Ophthalmology can apply for the January deadline; researchers with their primary appointment outside of Ophthalmology can apply for the July deadline.
RPB HAROLD F. SPALTER INTERNATIONAL RESEARCH SCHOLARS AWARDS enable established, foreign scientists to engage in collaborative research efforts for periods varying from a few weeks to several months in an RPB Grantee department in the USA. It is intended to cover the transportation costs of the recipient, with the host institution covering all other expenses. This is not a fellowship program. If the visit is to begin within six months of the proposal's submission, the applicant should be aware of the risk of rejection, as funding announcements may not be made until after the visit has commenced.
The federal government spends on average $2.10 per person each year on eye and vision research.
Americans say that's not enough.

The Journal Sentinel education reporters offer news and notes from their beat
UW student leaders applaud Walker's historic call for two-year tuition freeze
Noting it would be the first two-year tuition freeze in the history of the University of Wisconsin System, an advocacy group for UW students at campuses across the state applauded Gov. Scott Walker's proposal to cap tuition for the next two academic years, following six consecutive years of 5.5% increases.
UW System spokesman David Giroux confirmed that if the governor's proposal is approved by the Legislature, and written into the 2013-15 biennium budget, it would be the first two-year tuition freeze since the UW System was created in 1971 through a merger. Tuition has been frozen before, but not for a two-year budget cycle, Giroux said.
United Council of UW Students said in a statement Thursday that Wisconsin students and families "will feel some much needed relief from the excessive burden of tuition," with a two-year tuition freeze.
"This marks a historical new path towards making higher education affordable. Students urge UW System to spend the reserves down instead of cutting services, as they have in the past," the statement said.
Walker in February recommended increasing taxpayer funding for UW schools by $181 million in the 2013-'15 state budget. But the governor changed course and reduced that proposed increase to roughly $87 million over two years after a review last month by GOP lawmakers and nonpartisan legislative staff uncovered UW System reserves spread across hundreds, if not thousands of accounts.
A freeze in tuition would deny the UW System $42 million over two years that it was seeking through a proposed 2% tuition increase in each of the two years.
The freeze proposal comes on the heels of a revelation that UW System had more than $1 billion in reserve as of June 2012, of which $648 million was unrestricted. The total reserve is on track to climb to nearly $1.2 billion by the end of June, when the fiscal year ends, UW System officials have projected.
Walker's proposal would reduce the UW System's cash balance by giving the system less new money from sources such as income and sales taxes as well as holding the line on tuition.
Student leaders called on the Legislature's Joint Committee on Finance to pass the governor's proposal.
"Let's prevent the funding for UW students from getting any worse," said Geoff Murray, president of United Council of UW Students and a UW-Stevens Point student. "Freezing tuition is a great next step, but funding the students and Wisconsin families is still an important priority to the economic recovery of the state of Wisconsin."
The statement said the governor had called for removing $65 million in student tuition money from the cash balance held in various accounts across campuses.
"The least we could do is spend it on students & families, by putting $20 million of it in the Wisconsin Higher Education Grant," said Dylan Jambrek, government relations director of United Council of UW Students. "Twenty million dollars would close the financial aid gap in Wisconsin and help working families afford college."
The United Council of UW Students is a statewide advocacy and organizing not-for-profit organization established in 1960 to represent students of the UW System and advocate for them on issues of higher education pertaining to value, quality, and the student experience.

Editor's NoteHot-tempered, self-centered, part-Irish Southern beauty Scarlett O'Hara, played to the teeth by Vivien Leigh, loves the gentlemanly Ashley Wilkes (Leslie Howard). Smug, rebellious, honest, blockade-running profiteer Rhett Butler, portrayed gracefully and naturally by Clark Gable, loves Scarlett. Ashley, who is also in love with Scarlett, marries his genteel cousin Melanie (Olivia de Havilland) because he believes that their quiet similarities will create a better marriage than Scarlett's passion. Meanwhile, sparks fly between Rhett and Scarlett at their first encounter and continue throughout Scarlett's first two marriages. Scarlett and Rhett finally wed, but Scarlett continues to pine for her beloved Ashley. Set against the Civil War and Southern Reconstruction, this tragic love quadrangle offers the burning of Atlanta and fields of wounded Confederates as part of its lush scenery. Meticulous backdrops, glorious sunsets, numerous silhouettes, and the ultrasaturated Technicolor film create a hyperreal vision. The romantic score is every bit as lush and dramatic as the photography, borrowing folk melodies from the Old South to make the tragic war concrete. Heavy nostalgic tones pervade the often witty dialogue and larger-than-life charms and faults of the leads. GONE WITH THE WIND stands among the greatest epic dramas ever filmed.

Gone with the Wind - 70th Anniversay Ultimate Collector's Edition - Blu-Ray DVD Review
By: Josh Lasser Blogcritics.org Reviews
Published on: 11/24/2009 8:21 AM
|As gilded and over-the-top as the Old South itself, the Gone with the Wind 70th Anniversary Collector's Edition Blu-ray release is an impressive tribute to one of the best loved films of all time. The Victor Fleming-directed (at least Fleming gets the credit) classic, based on Margaret Mitchell's book of the same name, looks exceedingly good in high definition, and the bonus items (video and otherwise) which accompany the release are sure to please fans. Everyone knows the tale of Gone with the Wind – Scarlett O'Hara (Vivien Leigh) comes of age as the Civil War breaks out. It forces her to become an adult far sooner than she, and her family, may have wished, but Scarlett somehow manages – usually through conniving, lying, deceit, and other less than ladylike methods – to hold her family and her fortune together....read the full review

TeapigsEdit Company
Popular Teas from TeapigsSee All 30 Teas
Recent Tasting Notes
This is a delicious herbal infusion of lemon and ginger. It's not too tart from the lemon, nor is it too spicy from the ginger. The balance of both form the perfect flavor combination. This is a light enough tea to enjoy any time of the day.
The ingredient list includes whole forms of: ginger, lemongrass, lemon peel, and licorice root.
Although I typically prefer loose-leaf, If you're looking for a well balanced, flavorful herbal blend though, and enjoy the convince of tea pyramids/temples, then I'd really recommend, "Lemon and Ginger" from TeaPigs. Also, I had a very good experience with both shipping and the company in general, so I find them to be an excellent company! Some, not all of their teas are also available in Fresh Market, if you have one near you.
Flavors: Ginger, Lemon, Lemongrass, Licorice
I love this fruit blend! I've already polished off an entire box of it and can't wait to place another order. It is sweet, yet not cloying. The fruits used all meld together in a terrific burst of flavor. This is one I can enjoy throughout the day and the evening as well. This is my second favorite fruity tea blend. The only one I've tried that outranked this would be the fruit blend from Storm Tea, which I found once in a Homegoods, and haven't been able to find locally since then. If you're in the market for a nice fruity tea and just want to try something different, I highly recommend this blend. (Trust me, you'll want the larger box!).
This is my favorite English Breakfast Tea! It is bold, yet never bitter. It is excellent on its own, or paired with milk and raw sugar. This is my go-to morning blend. The combinations of the leaves used it this tea give it a rich, strong flavor and maybe even a hint of sweetness too. Definitely give this blend a try!
My only complaint is that this isn't available in loose-leaf form. I wish Tea Pigs would offer loose leaf for those of us who prefer not to use the sachets.
A friend gave me this tea and I've been working my way through it. It's not as subtle as I normally like my tea – it really only has one level of flavor, which is strong and dark. The chocolate is there but it mixes with the black tea. It's an okay tea but not one I will be in a hurry to buy after I finish my supply. It is caffeinated though, which is all I really need in the mornings some days.
This may be better as a latte with milk and whipped cream on top.
I had been drinking rooibos semi-regularly for a while, until one day my usual dealer was out of stock. Desperation made me turn to an impressive but expensive little tea and coffee bean shop just off Aberdeen's high street – http://dft.ba/-9PBo (not my image, twitter account or self).
Anyway, I was in a rush so i had a quick look around and grabbed the only rooibos i could find. I've seen teapigs for sale in a few other shops, mainly cafés, so i wasn't sure what to expect, but i gave it a chance anyway. And i'm glad i did, the tea is a delightfully smooth drink with slightly fruity, earthy tones. The caramel isn't overpoweringly sweet, it's a good compliment, something i wouldn't have expected. And it's only really present on the first steeping.
That was another pleasant surprise – yes, these are teabags, but they're triangular based pyramids made of some high quality silk like material that doesn't stain or absorb water like filter paper ones. And as long as you don't rip it when undoing the string, you can re-steep them at least three times. Supposedly biodegradable too. I added five minutes per steeping, starting at roughly five minutes with water fresh from the boil. But since rooibos doesn't contain any tannin you can be pretty lax with your timings. This more than made up for the somewhat meagre fifteen bags included in the pack.
All in all a good, convenient, staple tea if you can find it for a reasonably price. I've been drinking it probably more than anything else lately so i'll definitely be looking to get some more.
I don't know if it's just that tea after a long walk in the chilly rain is good, but right now this is the BEST tea I have had so far in the UK! We needed a couple of things for the flat, so I decided to walk to the big Tesco. It took longer than I thought it would, and the day is grey, chilly, and rainy. I got two of the items I needed, forgot one (d'oh!), and added this and a couple of other items to my basket as well. Trudged home like a local with my bags on my arm – very tempted to get one of those wheeled shopping carts I have seen the older ladies with.
Anyway… Got home and brewed up a cup, immediately followed by another. I am now warm and dry and still enjoying it immensely. Very smooth, not overwhelmingly spicy.
Sipdown!! (185)
Try all the genmaichas!! This one isn't bad. The rice is toasty and flavorful which makes for a nice cup. Right at the end, the green base, which is sorta vegetal slips in to remind you it is there. Definitely a nice take genmaicha. Thank you Nattie for the chance to try this tea!
Sipdown!! (187)
This is another from the amazing Nattie (thank you!!!). It reminds me a lot off DAVIDs Creme Caramel rooibos which I did not love so much. The rooibos is just too strong and medicinal for my tastes and I find I am always searching for the caramel. So far Teapigs have failed to impress but that's alright since you can't love everything and if you have to not like something, best it be something you can't get easily anyways :). I am grateful for the chance to try it though.
I bought this expecting it to be at least average given the pricing. Teapigs usually has good teas, albeit bagged, but this matcha is terrible. I have had low grade matchas far cheaper than this one that were far superior. I felt a bit conned when I opened it, the colour was off and the grassy, nature fresh notes were just missing. I still prepared it in my chawan, and not soon after found myself with a displeased frown on my face, bitter and stale.
This is my second journey through the land of Teapigs, and based on these two experiences, it appears that the sachets contain 3g, rather than the more common 2g sachets, so part of the increased quality may simply be that the brew is bound to be more flavorful because of the leafage.
Liquorice and Peppermint, subtitled "Sweet Treat", is a very simple blend combining only licorice root and peppermint leaves. That's all. No elaborate bells and whistles or any of the standard herbal bases and fillers such as rooibos, hibiscus, and rosehips.
The brewed liquor smells just like minty licorice or licorice scented peppermint! (I just noticed that the British spelling contains the word 'liquor' in it!) The two components are well-balanced, and I happen to love both, so this tea is truly a sweet treat for me!
Flavors: Licorice
I saw Teapigs boxes at the grocery, so since I'm a tea hog, I figured, "Why not?" In truth, I was surprised at how pricey they were, relative to other grocery store fare, but I decided to see whether the quality matches the price and the hype in the marketing text. To be honest, I was neither impressed nor intrigued by their blanket denunciation of all China blacks in the description on the box. Obviously, the powers that be at Teapigs have never tried Golden Monkey! But that's another story…
Darjeeling Earl Grey. This was a first for me, and a happy one. I happen to like darjeeling, but I don't believe that I've ever had a straight-up darjeeling scented with bergamot—or much of anything, come to think of it. I like both darjeeling and bergamot, and Earl Grey as a genre of tea. The big surprise here was to find an Earl Grey which I have no reason whatsoever to douse with cream. I drank this glass au naturel, and it was smooth and satisfying. I'll add this to my list of no-cream-necessary Earl Greys, which includes now Darjeeling Earl Grey and Harney & Sons Earl Grey White.
Recently sipped down, and now back in my cupboard thanks to my aunt and uncle! They bought me four Teapigs teas for Christmas, of which this was one.
The instructions on the packaging say to brew at boiling, but I ignored that and went for 80 as I have grown less fond of green teas recently, and higher temperatures usually lead to unwanted astringency. For the second time tonight, lowering the temperature of a tea was a good call! The popped rice is the focus of the flavour this way, with the mellow green tea present mainly in the background. And I don't mind it! My mam, who actively dislikes the majority of my teas, agreed to try this after smelling it and even seemed open to me leaving her a couple of bags! Big success. I think this was my favourite way having this tea too, and I will likely follow these steeping parameters in the future.
Sipdown! (14/203)
Apparently I liked this a lot more the first time I had it, because I'd rate it in the 60s at the moment. Reading my previous tasting note, the deep, grassy green taste doesn't seem to have bothered me at all, and now, that is a flavour I try to stay away from. Maybe I used to be more tolerant of green teas than I am now, or maybe my tastes will continue to change throughout the years. Who knows. I still don't think this tastes like popcorn, and I think they should rename it. People might be tricked into buying it expecting it to be sweet or buttery, and it may but off genuine fans of genmaicha. Even having said what I have about green tea, it's not my favourite genmaicha I've tried – I prefer both 52teas and the custom one blended by KittyLovesTea. It's an accessible route into genmaichas for the inexperienced, still, so I won't begrudge it a place on shelves of my local teashop.
I never thought it tasted like popcorn either! Very misleading, not near sweet enough for that. I'm happy you liked mine :) That would be the additional bancha, adds a thicker roasted flavour.
This is my first time trying a genmaicha, and I am very much looking forward to trying and comparing Kittylovestea 's genmaicha from the Traveling Tea Box when it gets to me! (:
At first, I did not care for this at all. It both smelled and tasted exactly like a toasted rice cereal (I can't think why…) from my childhood, which I absolutely hated. The smell was bugging me because it reminded me so much of something that I couldn't place, and as soon as I first sipped it I figured it out. Blech. Only the reason I didn't like the cereal was that it was just toasted rice, with no additional flavours and no sweetness. It was just so bland. This tea is different, though – grassy, deep green tea flavour with the toasted rice background adding a lovely warmth to it, and an almost floral aftertaste which I can detect, too. I don't think it was the flavour of the toasted rice in itself that I didn't like, because I like it just fine in this.
If anything, I would have preferred a little more green tea, as it wasn't too strong a flavour and in the bag, there was roughly a 50/50 split between tea and rice.
Overall, I enjoyed this as a pleasant lunchtime tea, although I could tell it was rice rather than corn, and wouldn't market it as 'popcorn' tea as I think it is a little misleading, and doesn't actually taste much like popcorn. It grew on me throughout the cup, and by the end I was wishing I had a couple more bags. I can't wait for the TTB to try the version Kitty has made!
Sipdown. Kind of. My local teashop sells single bags of teapigs tea, as they have a Café upstairs which you can buy them from. I bought just one of these to try, as I had previously had Yerba maté a grand total of once (in Bluebird's Morning Kick blend) and I'm not so sure I could taste it at all in that. So out of curiosity, and the need of energy, I brewed it up this morning. As frequently happens, I forgot about my cup and let it brew for about 20 minutes. I don't know if it was a product of this oversteeping, but I found this tea incredibly astringent, which I was not expecting from a blend without black or green tea in it. It was also very earthy, and reminded me of a pu'erh.
The flavour changed up as the cup cooled, getting less earthy and a little more perfume-y, although not in a floral way. The astringency didn't let up at all, but it wasn't too bad with the overall flavour, considering I'm not a fan of astringency at all, and prefer a smooth cup.
This wasn't exciting enough to drink on it's own, and not too pleasant although not awful either. I don't dislike it enough to avoid blends which use it, but I wouldn't choose to drink it plain again.
I got these teabags for Christmas from my amazing parents who know me too well. I always loved liquorice root as a kid, and this tea sounded amazing.
It smells really good brewed, mainly peppermint with a liquorice background, and that's how it tastes, too. The peppermint comes through strongly first, then lets the liquorice root come into play a bit more, giving a nice natural liquorice flavour instead of a taste of the mass-produced sweet. However liquorice root is very sweet, and the aftertaste of this is just too sweet for me unfortunately (and I like my teas fairly sweet, too). It hasn't stopped me from getting through the majority of my teabags already, as it's the only negative to a good herbal.
I got around it, though! Tonight, I fancied a hot chocolate with a twist, and, whilst I would normally go for a chocolate chai latte, I fancied mint. Sooo, I brewed a cup of this, and added it to cocoa instead of plain water and BAMFT! mint hot chocolate! It's goooorgeous, and the sweetness means no added sugar! Plus the liquorice aftertaste is still present, giving it a more sophisticated twist. Yummy.
Scheherazade sent me this one. Chai is not really something I've ever been particularly fond of, although I've sometimes wondered what I'm missing out. The problem with chai is partly that they invariably contain ginger and cinnamon, neither of which are things I'm fond of in tea, but mostly a rather traumatic introduction to it at around age 10. I will tell you what happened.
As a child, I was a scout for many years. At around age 10 or so, my group got new leaders. These were two guys who were… Well. A bit hippie-y in some ways and very correct in other ways. These two traits came together in a common purpose whenever it was time for giving the children some sort of treat. Like when we were camping or the last meeting before the Christmas holidays or what have you. For a child age 10 or so, this sort of occasion is pretty much synonymous with hot chocolate.
BUT GOSH, NO! Hot chocolate, that's full of sugar! And fat! Very bad for children! Also very very common and boring, let's put our own personal Eastern spin on things.
Let's give the children chai instead, what a good idea!
I think they even had their own spice blend for it. Dear scout leaders that I had at around age 10. No, it was not a good idea. It was in fact a totally rubbish idea. We, the children, drank your strange spicy concoction dutifully because it was that or nothing, but I'm willing to wager a rather large amount today that none of the children even knew what chai was and the vast majority of them would most likely much rather have had hot chocolate.
A couple of years later, when we got new leaders again the concept of chai for these special occasions went the way of the dodo right quickly.
So yes, I will definitely claim to have had a rather fraught and difficult introduction to chai in general.
I have never really warmed up to it, although I've tried again several times. Now Scheherazade is providing me with another go. It seems a fairly simple one. It has tea, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger and cassia, which is also some kind of cinnamon-y spice. So not a complicated one, just the base ingredients that I would associate with chai. It strikes me as being a very good starting point, really.
I made it with half milk and half water. I gave the cup of milk about 90 seconds in the microwave, put in the bag and filled up with boiling water. The milk makes it difficult for me to see when I think it's done steeping, though. I'm not at all used to milk in tea, but I have learned this much in my adventures with chai; milk is essential.
It smells very nice indeed, actually! All cinnamon-y sweet, but not soapy and nostril-assaulting like cinnamon can sometimes be. Cinnamon sugar and rice porridge cooked with milk. This cup smells pretty much like Christmas.
It tastes quite mild and milky. Possibly I should have used more water and less milk? I plopped the bag back in while drinking though, to see if I could get it to be a bit stronger. I can't pick up anything in the way of a base here at all, which I'm rather missing. This doesn't really feel like I'm drinking tea at all. It's more like warm milk with spices, which in itself is actually also quite nice, but not really what I was hoping for.
The spices are tempered by the milk and not even the ginger is bothering me in this. Ginger is usually my downfall because I don't much care for the burning sensation. This is a chai that I could actually drink because it's so mild and unassuming. A true chai fan might find it a bit dull though.
We don't do ranks in Denmark. All the children are equal, but divided up in patrols. Teams, really, but we call them patrols. We were perhaps 25 children, divided into four patrols with five or six children in each. The closest you come to rank as such would be the patrol leader and the patrol assistant. The leader's job is largely to be the spokesperson for the patrol, like during role-call for example, the leader will say how many members are present and who is missing, and the assistant steps in if the leader isn't there. Most of the time, for meetings, there would be some activities for all the children or to be done in teams (patrols). Older children have meetings mostly only with their own patrol and decide their own activities and then the whole group only once a month.
We used the patrol method as well. It was core to Baden Powell's ideals for scouting. I felt the ranking system developed incentive to improve, but I know such things are not for everyone. 25 is a healthy troop size, mine hovered around 12-20. It's nice to belong to an organization that allows me to connect with people around the world. Well met.
I enjoyed this more then I thought I would, although probably not enough to repurchase. The rooibos base is a bit more woody then I was expecting, but it blended well with the cinnamon, clove, and orange spicing. It is a bit sweeter then I was expecting, although not necessarily in a bad way. Overall it was a good, enjoyable cup -and it definitely reminded me of winter. I think I might experiment with this one a little bit, I have a feeling that it would taste really good with some of my creamed cinnamon honey from David's Tea.
I can't afford ordering anything at the moment – jobless, too mentally and physically unwell at the moment to find work, and broke. :P But as soon as I get myself better and get income again, you better believe I'll be ordering up some. :)
I can send some to you if you want? :) I have a nice little sample size of this one and a few of their other teas that I wouldn't mind sending your way. PM me if you want the samples :)

Hope is a waking dream." -Aristotle
Have you ever been to Europe? How about Africa? I love life, all of its various cultures, and I've been fortunate enough to see a lot of it. I grew up in Europe and speak three languages. As a child, I dreamed of someday making it to the United States and as you may have guessed, I made it! When I was 18, I earned a scholarship to play college basketball in Chicago and off I went. After receiving a degree, I had the chance to go to grad school in Texas and I didn't turn it down. I've always had that adventurous streak and I never close the door when opportunities arise. After college, I worked in Germany for a while before moving to Kenya to volunteer in microfinance. Kenya itself was nothing like I've ever imagined. It was raw, beautiful nature and I was lucky enough to climb Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Kenya while I was there. I moved to New York two years ago for work and I enjoy every minute of it. Being a newer resident of NY, I'm looking to meet interesting people and take things one day at a time. If you're up for an adventure, maybe our roads should cross.

Milan are still in negotiations to buy Swiss international Blerim Dzemaili from Napoli.
The midfielder was left off Napoli's Champions League squad for the play-off against Athletic Bilbao this evening.
According to Sky Sport Italia and other sources, Dzemaili wants to join the Rossoneri and is therefore turning down all other options.
At the same time, Milan are eager to keep the price-tag as low as possible, especially because his Napoli contract expires in June 2015.

Re: Religious Stories
When it comes to OT stories, I have trouble sometimes connecting with them because
a. I associate them too much with their Sunday School simplifications, and
b. Hebrew narrative is pretty terse, meaning readers were expected to do a bit more work than I'm used to as a lazy Westerner just wanting to be entertained/enthralled.
However, I do love the story of David, especially the drama with Absolom. His lines, O my son Absalom! My son, my son Absalom! If only I had died instead of youO Absalom, my son, my son! upon finding out about his son's death, the son who was trying to kill David and usurp his throne, are heart-rending every time. Especially when David's general calls him out on being thankless to the men who were defending him, and the grieving father has stand up out of that and be a king once again. Powerful, very human stuff.

Please check back soon. We will be adding more blog content over the coming weeks.
Happy Walktober!
As I continue to work regionally, across two states and a federal district, I am always looking for opportunities where people are already collaborating beyond their own jurisdictional lines. The National Capital Transportation Planning Board (TPB) is the metropolitan planning organization for the Greater Washington, DC region.
In Safe Routes to School we see countless examples of elementary schools led by passionate adults and fanatical students that knock walking and bicycling out of the proverbial park – but, as a movement, I believe we struggle to connect as frequently and in meaningful ways around active transportation with both middle and high school age students.
Peer pressure doesn't all have to be bad. Studies show that it can be good, too! Kids can encourage each other into activities that will improve their health and social life and make them feel good about themselves.
The Safe Routes to School Mississippi network prides itself on the ability to connect with those organizations within the state that are passionate about ridding the state of the childhood obesity epidemic. We continue our efforts in expanding our parameters to partners that are champions for the cause. While attending a meeting with the Obesity Coalition (formulated by The Partnership for A Healthy Mississippi)
Since it is now past October 1 and the MAP-21 transportation law is officially in effect, I was hoping to blog this month about the guidance from US Department of Transportation. Guidance provides additional information to the states about how to implement Transportation Alternatives.
Everyone travels. Whether it is for work, school or play, how we as individuals and as a society travel has impacts that go far beyond the seemingly simple and routine act of going from one place to another. This common trait provides an ideal intervention point for public health practitioners.
We frequently hear about successful programs getting more youth bicycling and walking to school. But behind those programs are one or more dedicated people, often teachers that make it happen. Pat Davidson is one of them.
October is such a great time of year.Everywhere I look lately, no matter what city or town I am visiting, I see more children and families walking and bicycling to school, the park, other destinations and just for fun.
Residents of Centerville, SD, gathered in the warm prairie sunshine on a Saturday in September to celebrate completion of the first phase of a Safe Routes to School project. New sidewalks, curb and gutter, ADA curb ramps and traffic signs now make walking to school safer for school kids of all ages in this rural eastern South Dakota community of 882 people. New Safe Routes to School-funded programs to encourage walking to school are boosting the number of who do just that.
Mississippi has certainly been busy with Safe Routes to School initiatives. For starters, they have awarded a total of 39 projects representing 31 communities and 87 schools. They have also had four statewide projects. In the most recent cycles, they awarded $2.5 million involving 12 communities, 26 schools and three statewide partners. The most recent awards were announced in September 2012, which brings their total amount awarded to date to $10.9 million.
International Walk to School Day is Wednesday, October 3, 2012. So far more than 3,000 schools nationwide and more than 180 (and counting-that's more than twice as many as in 2011!) across the state of Tennessee are participating. If you've ever walked to school, or anywhere for that matter with a child you know safety is a top priority. Taking a walk around your neighborhood weather it's on walk to school day or not ca
October is my favorite time of year. Fall has finally arrived, as well as the state fair in the great state of Texas. One other huge reason I love the month of October is that Wednesday, October 3 is Walk and Bike to School Day.
As we have often discussed, joint use (or shared use) agreements are one of the National Partnership's three primary policy priorities from our Robert Wood Johnson funding. What is really exciting is how we frequently hear more about how much is going on in our seven network states. Here is a sampling:
There is a scene, from a once famous movie where this guy busts through the door to expel his undying affection for a woman. She completes him, and he wants to make sure she knows it.
I'm no Tom Cruise, but I want you to know: You complete me.
It's everywhere in the news – American's overweight and obesity rates in this generation have soared.
Co-authored with Kathy Cooke, network coordinator - One of the most common interests shared by staff at the National Partnership is a love of books. Reading books, belonging to book clubs, haunting book stores when we're not working -- you name it.
During the opening plenary session at ProWalk/ProBike in Long Beach, Suja Lowenthal, PhD, a council member from Long Beach, addressed the attendees. She's a passionate advocate, sharing many ideals so many of us do, but I strongly agreed when she declared that our communities are not bike-friendly until mothers with children feel comfortable taking to the streets.

Advocates for Safe Routes to School and active transportation have long recognized the health impacts of our transportation system.

Like a number of staff at the Safe Routes to School National Partnership, I spent much of last week at the Pro Walk/Pro Bike Conference in Long Beach. In addition to getting to see my co-workers in the flesh, I really enjoyed the networking opportunities.

Fannie Farmer
|Fannie Farmer
|Fannie Merritt Farmer
March 23, 1857
Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.
|January 15, 1915(aged 57)
Fannie Merritt Farmer (23 March 1857 – 15 January 1915) was an American culinary expert whose Boston Cooking-School Cook Book became a widely used culinary text.
Fannie Farmer was born on 23 March 1857 in Boston, Massachusetts, United States, to Mary Watson Merritt and John Franklin Farmer, an editor and printer. Although she was the oldest of four daughters, born in a family that highly valued education and that expected young Fannie to go to college, she suffered a paralytic stroke at the age of 16 while attending Medford High School. Fannie could not continue her formal academic education; for several years, she was unable to walk and remained in her parents' care at home. During this time, Farmer took up cooking, eventually turning her mother's home into a boarding house that developed a reputation for the quality of the meals it served.
At the age of 30, Farmer, now walking (but with a substantial limp that never left her), enrolled in the Boston Cooking School at the suggestion of Mrs. Charles Shaw[citation needed]. Farmer trained at the school until 1889 during the height of the domestic science movement, learning what were then considered the most critical elements of the science, including nutrition and diet for the well, convalescent cookery, techniques of cleaning and sanitation, chemical analysis of food, techniques of cooking and baking, and household management. Farmer was considered one of the school's top students. She was then kept on as assistant to the director. In 1891, she took the position of school principal.
Cookbook fame[edit]
Fannie published her best-known work, The Boston Cooking-School Cook Book, in 1896. Her cookbook introduced the concept of using standardized measuring spoons and cups, as well as level measurement. A follow-up to an earlier version called Mrs. Lincoln's Boston Cook Book, published by Mary J. Lincoln in 1884, the book under Farmer's direction eventually contained 1,850 recipes, from milk toast to Zigaras à la Russe. Farmer also included essays on housekeeping, cleaning, canning and drying fruits and vegetables, and nutritional information
The book's publisher (Little, Brown & Company) did not predict good sales and limited the first edition to 3,000 copies, published at the author's expense.[1][2] The book was so popular in America, so thorough, and so comprehensive that cooks would refer to later editions simply as the "Fannie Farmer cookbook", and it is still available in print over 100 years later.
Farmer provided scientific explanations of the chemical processes that occur in food during cooking, and also helped to standardize the system of measurements used in cooking in the USA. Before the Cookbook's publication, other American recipes frequently called for amounts such as "a piece of butter the size of an egg" or "a teacup of milk." Farmer's systematic discussion of measurement — "A cupful is measured level ... A tablespoonful is measured level. A teaspoonful is measured level." — led to her being named "the mother of level measurements."
Farmer left the Boston Cooking School in 1902 and created Miss Farmer's School of Cookery.[3] She began by teaching gentlewomen and housewives the rudiments of plain and fancy cooking, but her interests eventually led her to develop a complete work of diet and nutrition for the ill, titled Food and Cookery for the Sick and Convalescent. Farmer was invited to lecture at Harvard Medical School and began teaching convalescent diet and nutrition to doctors and nurses. She felt so strongly about the significance of proper food for the sick that she believed she would be remembered chiefly by her work in that field, as opposed to her work in household and fancy cookery. Farmer understood perhaps better than anyone else at the time the value of appearance, taste, and presentation of sickroom food to ill and wasted people with poor appetites; she ranked these qualities over cost and nutritional value in importance.
Sugar advocate[edit]
Fannie wrote that one should not short the sugar in a cake as there will be a loss of texture and a disappointing taste. Reviews of the history of sugar's ascendency in modern diets have noted that Fannie was an early advocate "of adding sugar to practically everything: Bread, vegetables, salads and their dressings."[4] For this she was labeled the queen of American sugar-pushing people killers by a sugar alarmist. Elizabeth Abbott repeated that charge in Sugar: A Bittersweet History.[5]
Later life[edit]
During the last seven years of her life, Farmer used a wheelchair. Despite her immobility, Farmer continued to lecture, write, and invent recipes; she gave her last lecture 10 days before her death.[citation needed] The Boston Evening Transcript published her lectures, which were picked up by newspapers nationwide.[citation needed] Farmer also lectured to nurses and dietitians, and taught a course on dietary preparation at Harvard Medical School.[citation needed] To many chefs and good home cooks in America, her name remains synonymous today with precision, organization, and good food.[citation needed]
Fannie Farmer died in 1915, aged 57, and was interred in Mount Auburn Cemetery, Cambridge, Massachusetts.[citation needed]

Clarinetist Alexander Fiterstein to Give World Premiere of Ronn Yedidia's SPARX 2 at Bargemusic, 7/5
Clarinetist Alexander Fiterstein returns to Bargemusic to perform works for clarinet and piano by Chausson, Messiaen, Weinberg, and Weber with pianist Michael Brown on Saturday, July 5, 2014 at 7:00 pm. The program also features the world premiere of longtime collaborator Ronn Yedidia's Sparx 2 for solo clarinet. The following day, the duo travels to Music Mountain in Falls Village, CT, joining cellist Nicholas Canellakis and violinist Miranda Cuckson to perform Beethoven's Op. 11 Trio and Messiaen's Quatuor pour la fin du temps at 3:00 pm.
The July 5 performance will take place at Bargemusic at Fulton Ferry Landing near the Brooklyn Bridge. Tickets, priced at $35 ($30 for seniors, $15 for students), are available online at bargemusic.com, by phone at 800-838-3006 or in person at the box office at Bargemusic, which opens one hour prior to the performance. The July 6 performance will take place at Music Mountain at 225 Music Mountain Rd, Falls Village, CT 06031. Tickets, priced at $30 advance ($35 at the door), are available online at musicmountain.org, by phone at 860-824-7126, or in person at the door.
A noted chamber musician, Mr. Fiterstein recently stepped in for an injured Martin Fröst in recitals with pianist Marc-André Hamelin and violinist Anthony Marwood in San Francisco and Boston to critical acclaim. The San Francisco Chronicle wrote, "Fiterstein ... took his part in a demanding program with the calm aplomb of a seasoned veteran. If there were any wrinkles introduced by this sudden shift in the lineup, they were nowhere in evidence." San Francisco Classical Voice echoed, "Nothing about Monday night's concert would have suggested that Fiterstein was a last-minute substitute ... their ensemble playing transcended the expected level of professionalism and shot straight to musical camaraderie."
Mr. Fiterstein was introduced to Ronn Yedidia's music in 2006 through friend and pianist Alon Goldstein who was then performing one of Mr. Yedidia's piano works in recital. Mr. Fiterstein premiered the first work in their ongoing collaboration the following year, and has since then recorded an album of Mr. Yedidia's works, released on Naxos in March 2012.
Mr. Fiterstein is recognized for playing that combines flawless technique and consummate musicianship with graceful phrasing and a warm soulful tone. Considered one of today's most exceptional clarinet players, he has performed in recital and with orchestras and chamber music ensembles throughout the world. Recipient of a 2009 Avery Fisher Career Grant, Mr. Fiterstein has been praised by the Washington Post: "Fiterstein treats his instrument as his own personal voice, dazzling in its spectrum of colors, agility and range. Every sound he makes is finely measured without inhibiting expressiveness."

Originally written on Waiting For Next Year | Last updated 10/27/12
The Cleveland Cavaliers reduced their NBA roster down to the NBA maximum of 15 today three days ahead of opening night. The team released forward Kevin Jones, center Micheal Eric, and guard D'Aundray Brown this afternoon. The moves mean that point guard Jeremy Pargo and forward Luke Harangody snagged the final two opening night roster spots. Jones was signed as an undrafted free agent following his four years at West Virginia. The 6'6″ a power forward has a knack for rebounding but lacks NBA length. He had signed a three-year deal with Cleveland with only a very small portion of it guaranteed. Eric played for the team's summer league squad and was an undrafted camp invitee out of Temple. Brown, a 6'4″ guard undrafted out of Cleveland State, was just signed on Thursday. The Cavaliers opening night roster will likely be the following: Guards (5): Kyrie Irving, Dion Waiters, Daniel Gibson, Donald Sloan, Jeremy Pargo Forwards (8): C.J. Miles, Tristan Thompson, Alonzo Gee, Jon Leuer, Omri Casspi, Samardo Samuels, Luke Walton, Luke Harangody Centers (2): Anderson Varejao, Tyler Zeller
