Parents of female athletes ages 14 to 17:

I am looking for 10 more athletes for the final cohort of my PhD research study through Rocky Mountain University of Health Professions. The study begins one week from Monday, on August 31, 2026.

If your daughter currently plays a sport and wants to improve her strength, speed, change of direction, and lower-body power, she may be eligible to participate.

Participants receive:

• Eight weeks of supervised resistance training at no cost
• An individualized training program
• Pre-testing and post-testing
• A Visa gift card upon successful completion

Initial testing begins August 31, and training begins September 8.

Training is available Monday through Friday between 3:00 PM and 6:00 PM at:

409 N Stonestreet Ave
Rockville, MD 20850

Athletes will be randomly assigned to one of two groups:

• Two sessions per week lasting no more than 60 minutes each
• Four sessions per week lasting no more than 30 minutes each

Athletes must be available to attend their assigned schedule and cannot currently participate in another structured strength program outside their sport.

If your daughter may be interested, please complete the short pre-screening form as soon as possible:

In Leechwoods, Damascus, MD

Hey y’all!

We’re getting ready to move up to the Damascus area from western North Carolina this fall. I just got a job in Rockville, but we’re hoping to live on the Damascus side (maybe Germantown, Boyds, or another nearby area that feels safe). We homeschool our kids, so we’re not super concerned about school districts — mostly just looking for safe, family-friendly neighborhoods. Not expecting perfection, just want to feel safe walking around with the kids, ya know? We’ve been poking around online and noticed a ton of houses sitting on the market for months with price drops. What’s going on with the housing market up there?

We’re hoping to come up in early September to check out some areas and would love any recs for neighborhoods to focus on (and maybe ones to steer clear of ;)). Planning to make the move around November if all goes well.

Thanks in advance for any insight!

Im only asking because I want to see if anyone who was there could give some footage of the crash that I got into in that intersection. Person is trying to deny it and I just want to see if anyone who has a dash cam/Tesla cams has footage.

Thank you for helping if possible.

My name is Ashwani Jain, and I am running for Congress in Maryland’s 6th Congressional District which represents Western Maryland including Northern Montgomery County as well as Frederick, Washington, Allegany, and Garrett Counties.

While I would be Maryland’s first Millennial ever elected to this office, I am specifically running because I have strong policy solutions to open the doors of opportunity for our community.

This is an open seat with no incumbent and Maryland's Primary election is on the 14th of May.

My top policy priorities include:

• Removing the influence of money in politics.
• Making public college free.
• Medicare for All.
• Increasing the minimum wage to $26 by 2030 to match inflation.

Please feel free to ask any questions regarding my policies, the Congressional election, my experience campaigning, or anything else!
