A cute black and white home office. Right?
I found it on Norweigan blog Stylizimo. Such a cute blog created by a 30 something year old Norweigan stylist/designer.
The clear two toned color scheme makes the space crisp and clean. Easy to think big in this cute little organized work area.
The Eames molded chairs are a great style addition. I also like all of the framed typography prints, striped black and white upholstered bench, the DIY deer head with antlers taped onto the wall, and the chalkboard calendar. Notice how a few sprigs of dry wheat grass on the desk subtly compliment the wicker wastebasket. Small touches and details throughout that really work.
What do you think of this little home office? Any tips you can share about your own home office design? Please comment below.
Happy Wednesday!
P.S. Went a cute b-day party for AG...her husband TG planned it. Got a quick chance to catch up with AS and JH there too. Lots of funny stories told. :-)
P.P.S. Good news! I had mentioned a few weeks back that an entertainment company (a cable network) was thinking of buying COCOCOZY Throws for their corporate gifting. Well some good news! They just placed the order yesterday. Now we are in full on production mode.
P.P.P.S. Finally found the light fixture we are buying for COCOCOZY HQ in Beverly Hills. I love calling our small two room space headquarters...there is an element of irony to it. Anyhoooo...our HQ is going to have quite a cute chandelier in the front room. CM is ordering it today! Wooohoooo!!!! It will come in about 4-6 weeks. The HQ decorating is taking forever because we keep getting sidetracked. We moved in mid May and waited 12 weeks for our main pieces, now we are on a slow but sure mission to fill in the office decor details. Hmmmmm...maybe this black and white theme would work at COCOCOZY HQ too. Will share pictures of the progress soon.

I lovew the white, although it can be seen as cold. It's funny little touches, makes it warm.ReplyDelete
♥, Londa
I would call it HQ too if I were you! (there was a lot of rhyming in that sentence...)ReplyDelete
As for the pics, I am loving the "Home Sweet Home" in the last one.. totally DIY-worthy.
LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT. Now I need to find some space to create my own little home office!ReplyDelete
Nothing I love more than black and white. Love, LOve, LOVE!ReplyDelete
I'm a fan of black & white!! I love everything about it!!ReplyDelete
loving the black and white. so fresh and so clean! Loved too that she worked in some affordable pieces i.e. the Ikea desk and file cabinet. Good hi-lo blend. Now if only I could keep my office that clean!ReplyDelete
In my office, I have rolls washi tape around. It's great for sticking papers/reminders on the wall without destroying the paint! Another must is baskets for magazines. I have three Ikea magazine racks line up around the room. Finally, a good chair- away from your computer, for pondering, curling up and reading.ReplyDelete
Thank you so much for your kind words, and for featuring my home office.ReplyDelete
I´m sitting in this office right now, but it´s not that white and crisp no more.I have painted it black :)
I love how it's so bright without feeling cold. Perfect balance of fun and sophistication. Nicely done!ReplyDelete
You guys are soo awesome and talented! I love it! you have beautiful inspiration :-) Congrats to your cable network .ReplyDelete

The Senior Scene Trafton Center's mission is to provide social, wellness opportunities
Thursday, January 31, 2013
I recently dropped in at the Sanford News office, hoping to make an appointment to meet with Editor Shawn Sullivan and ask a favor of him. As luck would have it, he poked his head out the door and I now have a by-weekly opportunity to let you folks know what is happening at the Trafton Center.
Wellness classes, art classes and many more opportunities for social interaction all are either included in the membership or offered for a donation that is truly affordable. We also offer opportunities for traveling and many social events throughout the year
I hope that this column will take shape as a place to find out what is coming up at the Trafton Center in the near future. I plan to highlight special events and classes that we hope will pique your interest and help you keep in touch with the seniors in our community.
I plan to end each column with a simple invitation to come and visit us and see for yourself all that we have to offer.
Till next time ...
Thea Murphy is the executive director of the Y Trafton Senior Center on Elm Street in Sanford.

bloom Alma Mini Crib
Quantity: 1
- The Natural finish is a giggle exclusive. The Cappuccino finish is expected to ship in late-November.
When it comes to cribs, sometimes you've got to think small. Not only is the Alma Mini Crib a whole lot smaller than a standard-sized crib, it also folds for storage when not in use -- all without compromising anything in sturdiness or style. Please Note: Due to its European design, the Alma Mini Crib is not compatible with US standard sized crib mattresses and requires the purchase of either a bloom Alma Mini Body-Fit Spring Mattress or Alma Coco Mini Mattress.
Why it's a giggle pick Not everyone can accommodate a full-size crib, and we love the quality and style of this innovative option.See Full Details
Meets the following giggle Criteria:
BEST BASICS: everyday baby essentials
INNOVATIVE: smart products that do more
SPACE-SAVING: compact & easy to store
RESPONSIBLE: eco-friendly or locally produced
the giggle criteria: We've narrowed down the choices by picking only the best products out there. In other words: if we sell it, we love it, and we think you will, too! Each year, we talk to tons of parents to find out what's most important to them when it comes to baby and kids products. The result? Every product we offer goes through a rigorous selection process and must meet at least three of the following criteria to be included in our assortment:
--Solid birch wood construction
--Low VOC baby-safe finishes
Dimensions--Open: 19.5" L 37.25" W 32.75" H --Folds to 9.75" W

AgeNewborn - 12 Months (max 50 lbs.)

Rated 5 out of 5 by LOREA Just What we Wanted When my daughter turned two months the Bassinet we had purchased was getting a bit too small! Not wanting to put her in the crib we purchased for her room - yes we wanted her with us all night - we began to search for something else. We had been using the Snuggle nest in our bed - and loving it - but needed to giver her her own space next to our bed (the arms rest co-sleeper just was not for us) We purchased the Alma crib in white and could not be happier. It is sturdy - good-looking - the mattress is organic - and she has plenty of room. It folds easily and is great to bring to grandma's house for the weekend (it is portable but heavy) She loves it too... July 26, 2009
Rated 4 out of 5 by sarahQ QUALITY ! I am in love with this crib. Everyone who visits compliments it, its Gorgeous and beautiful quality. I gave it 4 rather than 5 stars for two reasons. 1. As everyone says, this crib will not fit your baby for a year- i don't care how small your baby is! 2. The slots between the bars are rather big so that many a time I go to my screaming infant to find one of her limbs stuck outside the bars. I had to buy for another $100 the bumper, (hasn't arrived yet) but this will also take up space inside the already small crib Still. I would buy again. I am using it as I would a bassinet, but this crib feels very sturdy and safe January 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Elizabeeth Excellent Love this crib! Wonderfully sleek design, easily portable from our room to his. Has been great for the past six months, will see how the next six months go! If our parents lived nearby we would just pack this up for overnights. Its a little heavy to carry, better to roll with the roll wheels it comes with. May 21, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Annisbonanis Great for small spaces, even for my big baby. I bought this crib to fit in our very small (420 sq. ft.) 1 bedroom apartment. This crib fit the bill perfectly. While my daughter and I became accustomed to cosleeping while we lived in the small apartment, she had little difficulty transitioning to the Alma crib when we moved into a 2 bedroom apartment. She learned to sleep on her own in this crib, and continued to sleep in it from the age of 8 months to 1 year 8 months. She was a relatively large baby, in the 90th percentile for weight and height for many of the months she used the crib. Now the crib is in our room again for my 5 month old son. He is even larger, but still fits comfortably. The Alma crib is beautiful, functional, and one of a kind. If you think your child can't sleep in it, just give them some time. They will get used to it. February 5, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by IndyMom Awesome crib! Green, organic, natural products are important to us, to protect the health of our LO. That said, we are also value shoppers, so we will only spend more to get these natural products, within reason. This crib is worth every penny. It is so versatile with the fold-up capability and the wheels make it so easy to move between rooms to accomodate company or to keep baby near you when sleeping/playing in the crib. We have a smallish home and this mini-crib has saved us while we look for a bigger place. Love Bloom products for their dedication to natural products. We also bought the coco mattress and the Bloom waterproof mattress cover and have been pleased with both. We were opposed to spending $700 on a large crib, but we are so convinced of this crib that we will probably splurge for the big one if/when our DD outgrows the mini. Recommend. December 11, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by PS813 The perfect fit for small apartments My experience with the Alma Mini is that people consider buying it either to use as a bassinet/transitional crib or because they are space-constrained. If you are in the latter category, you will probably like the crib more and use it longer. It is slim, well-made, portable (although heavy), and sturdy. Our 11-month-old has slept comfortably in it from birth and we often take it with us when we travel by car. As previous reviewers have pointed out, babies can't roll all around as they might in larger cribs but our daughter never had trouble rolling over/moving around. Proportionally, putting an older baby to sleep in it is probably similar to an adult sleeping in a twin bed. Not tons of extra space but more than fine. If you are used to living in space-constrained urban environments, it will probably fit naturally into your lifestyle and if your baby hasn't experienced anything different, it will be normal for him/her! It all depends on your expectations/constraints/needs. September 11, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by mgeller79 Alma Mini Amazing We absolutely loved our Alma Mini Crib. We used a bassinet for our first daughter and then after a few weeks moved her giant crib into our room so she could sleep better. Not wanting to do that again, we found the Alma Mini crib. We by passed the bassinet all together and went straight into this crib. It was perfect. We could put it next to our bed without it taking up too much room, it she wasn't lost in the crib, it wheels around smoothly with little notice from the baby, and it collapses and stores perfectly. The mattress is nice and thick. Can't say enough wonderful things about it! March 19, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by JSCmom Perfect for small apt My son is over 2 and still very happy in his alma crib even though he is too tall for it! The bumper crib is fabulous! Definitely get a teething bumper for the top ridge when they start teething. March 18, 2012

See what people are asking, and maybe add some answers of your own.
Q:Should I purchase a liner or bumper for this crib for a newborn. I'm afraid the newborn could get a arm or leg stuck in the slats.
3 weeks, 6 days ago
Posted by(read all my Q&A)
A:To use a bumper or not to use a bumper is based on a parent's individual informed philosophy about their child's sleep environment. Crib bumpers are optional pieces of bedding and are approved for use by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) up to a child's 6 month milestone.
Experts unanimously agree that an infant's sleep area should be both well ventilated and temperature regulated. Should you choose to use a bumper, follow these steps to ensure that the bumper is installed just right:
1.The bottom 1/3 of the crib bumper will be pushed down in-between the crib's mattress and the crib's side – this will shore-up any gap and will prevent an infant from pushing themselves under the bumper.
2.The bumper will then be tightly tied to the crib slats to secure it in-place and prevent it from moving -- depending on the crib design you may need to move around the bumper to find the best way to secure it.
Every family is different, and giggle recommends that parents consult a trusted resource, such as their family's physician, to determine whether a bumper is right for their child's sleep environment.

Q:On you product detail page it appears that this crib does not meet you own health criteria (H). Why?
A:As a global distributor, Bloom is committed to meeting and exceeding the highest safety and other product standards required throughout the world. The "Healthy" criteria box is not checked for Boom's furniture because their current furniture assortment has not been measured by a 3rd party (ie. GreenGuard, LEED, etc) for health benefits.
Bloom products are tested to, and meet, British and European standards (EN716, which the company considers equal to or more stringent than USA standards); Australia/New Zealand standards (AS/NZS 2195 -- widely considered the toughest in the industry); and U.S.A. federal ASTM (ASTM F406) and CPSC standards that are required to sell in the U.S.A. Bloom also proactively minimizes the use of harmful chemicals and processes in their products and manufacturing, and their products are certified compliant with 2008 USA CPSIA requirements.
In addition, Bloom wooden products are free of wood PCP and other toxic wood preservatives, fiberboard (MDF) free, use formaldehyde-free adhesive, low voc finishes and originate from certified sustainable beech and birch wood forests.

Q:I understand that bloom makes sheets specifically for this crib, but can you use portable / mini crib sheets from other manufacturers or brands?
A:For the Alma Mini Crib, giggle recommends choosing the Alma Mini Bedding! Everything's designed specifically for Alma Mini's very special mattress size (17.75" L x 3.25 W x 35.5" H) so you get the perfect fit every time!

Ouef Changing Tray
Q:Is the classic Ouef changing table compatible with this crib?
A:If you're looking for a changing tray that's a compatible fit with your Bloom Alma Mini Crib, look no further than Bloom's very own Changing Tray -- it's made to fit securely on top of the Alma Papa Crib, Alma Papa Dresser, Alma Mini Crib, Luxo Crib, or Luxo Dresser by Bloom, and is perfect for space-constrained parents.
If it's a stand-alone dresser you're looking for, Oeuf's Classic 4-Drawer Dresser/Changer is a beautiful companion to Bloom's Alma Mini Crib -- it has sleek lines and a clean, modern look that will compliment any decor. Add the optional changing pad and it doubles as a changing table, making it a multi-functional piece that will see years of use.

Room for under crib storage?
Q:I'm considering this item, but am wondering if any sort of under-the-bed-type storage box can fit under the crib. What are the dimensions of this area?

A:The dimensions under the Alma Mini Crib are 7 1/16" h x 33" l.

1 answer
Removable parts
Q:On one website, the description of the Alma Mini Crib sounded like one of the sides was removable so that the crib could be turned into a co-sleeper. Is this true -- do either of the long sides of the crib come off?
A:No, neither side of the Alma Crib is removable. This is a mini crib, not a co-sleeper.

crib size
Q:how wide and how tall is the crib i notice it said mini crib so is it smaller then an average size crib
4 years, 3 months ago
Posted by
(springfield ma)(read all my Q&A)
A:The dimensions of the Alma Mini Crib are 37.25" l x 19.5" w x 32.75" h, making it a lot smaller than a standard size crib. This is suitable for newborn to 12 months, and sometimes longer, depending on baby size, as it is safety approved for up to 2 years. In contrast, standard size cribs are approximately 54" l x 30" w x 33" h.
Although it has a smaller footprint, this is a nice solution for space-constrained parents or someone who wants to extend the bassinet stage. Since it folds for easy storage, this crib is also a popular choice for use at grandma's house or in a second home.

Stop Saying The "R-Word" And Be A Best Buddies Supporter
By DANIEL NOLTEMEYER
Your Voice Contributor
I heard the "R-word" ten years ago when I was in the hallways of my high school.
I still hear it on the bus, at sports events, at the store and when I go to the movies.
Today the "R-word" – you know the one: retarded – has become a common word used by people as an insult to describe someone or something stupid or dumb. When I hear it, it hurts and upsets me because I have an intellectual and developmental disability. I know that when I hear it, it might not be towards me personally, but it is still hurtful. It makes me feel bad.
I want people to understand how wrong it is. People should put themselves in my place. How would they like to hear an ugly word everywhere they went? People with intellectual and developmental disabilities deserve to be respected and valued.
We have gifts and the world should recognize them. We have goals and dreams like everyone else. One of those goals is to be accepted and included. We have accomplished so much.
I don't think about my disability, but instead, I try to be the best that I can be. I have a great life. I work, have a wonderful family and friends. I enjoy hobbies, church, sports as a Special Olympics athlete in both basketball and softball, and I like volunteering in the community. I have a wonderful buddy, Steve, who is a student at the University of Louisville, and we met at Best Buddies Kentucky. We like to go to movies and sporting events, listen to country music, and hang out as friends.
My buddy Steve says, "I honestly consider him one of my closest friends, and I know that Daniel is about as loyal a friend as someone could be. I'm so grateful to have Daniel as my Best Buddy, and hope he can learn as much from me as I do from him."
Overall, I have a positive attitude and try to be a strong self-advocate to help make the world a better place. I challenge you to join me in the campaign to stop the use of the "R-word" and please get more involved with Best Buddies Kentucky today.
Here are some ways you can help:
- Ask your friends and family to take the pledge at www.r-word.org to never, ever say the hurtful "R-word" again.
- Get involved with us on the Best Buddies Kentucky Facebook or Twitter pages.
- Join us for High Heels and Hats, April 18 at Westport Village from 6-9 p.m. I will be in the Derby fashion show and you can help other people with intellectual and developmental disabilities too.
Daniel Noltemeyer is a Best Buddies Kentucky Buddy Ambassador.

Daniel is an outstanding spokesperson for this wonderful organization! Can't wait to see him next week on the runway!!!
I am 40 years old and have an aunt with downs that is 50. We grew up friends, playing together and laughing but I was more than her friend. I was her defender. For as long as I can remember I defended her, sometimes quite literally and others in a round about way. I have and still today detest the use of the R word. I do not allow my kids to use it and often will speak up on facebook when I see their friends using it. Thank you for speaking out and for standing up for youself and for my aunt! Know you do not stand alone. We can change people's hearts.

Design & Prototype
Design for Manufacture
MiniFAB has exceptional in-house design and engineering competence, tackling some of the most difficult problems to create solutions that provide value for our clients through the unique combination of technologies, processes, and expertise.
MiniFAB's Product Development Team leverages our Microfluidic ToolBox to design diagnostics, instruments, medical devices, microfluidic components and complete systems. The Microfluidic ToolBox is used to make informed decisions about the interface between non-disposable instruments and disposable cartridges, generating insight into strategic decisions for the location of critical structures like pumps, valves, heaters, reagent storage and waste reservoirs. When combined with 3D concepts for your disposable cartridge, MiniFAB's Microfluidic ToolBox brings your product vision to life sooner.
System Interfaces & Fluid Control
One of the most critical product development challenges involves interface design between the cartridge and the fluid control system. MiniFAB has developed simple systems for this interfacing, including manifolds to connect fluidic cartridges for sample and reagent introduction, and handling of air and waste. Integrated features for mixing, reservoirs, valves, channels and flow cells enable flow regulation and control, giving each cartridge the functionality required to perform a specific task.
MiniFAB provides prototypes for testing and validation of design as well as small volume production runs. For initial performance testing, MiniFAB has created a microfluidic development platform – the MiniCHEMLAB. The MiniCHEMLAB enables rapid drop-in performance testing and may be easily customised to include sensors, heaters and any other components required by our clients. MiniCHEMLAB cartridges produced during early development stages enable functionality testing and rapid modification to optimise processes in the work flow.

Mitchell is the only Texan to make the final 16. He is currently ranked as the No. 34 recruit in the nation, a five-star prospect, by Scout.com.
"It is a big honor to be in the running against the best players not just in the state, but the nation. I have worked really hard this year, and I am thankful to have such good teammates to play with who make me a better player," says Mike Mitchell upon learning he was a finalist.
The recipient will be announced on January 4, 2013, at a formal dinner, which takes place on the eve of the U.S. Army All-American Bowl. Also known as the Hall Trophy, this award has been given annually since 2000 to the most outstanding high school football player in the United States. It is comparable to the Heisman Trophy given at the collegiate level.
Head Football Coach Chris Cunningham says, "I am extremely proud that Mike is one of only 16 players across the nation considered for this honor. To be the only player named from the best high school football state in the country is an honor itself.
What I am most proud of is that Mike has lived up to this honor and has had a tremendous year."
Mitchell, who has yet to make his college commitment is is considering offers from programs like Ohio State, Oklahoma, Oregon and Texas A&M.
The Lions are now headed into the play-offs. Mitchell led Prestonwood to a regular season record of 7-3 in TAPPS Division I.
Scout Eval: Mitchell is a special player at linebacker. He has elite level speed at the position and makes plays sideline-to-sideline. He is a terror coming downhill against the run. He fills holes quickly and uses his hands well to get off of blocks. His quickness allows him to come free and make plays before blockers get their hands on him. He has the ability to make the spectacular hit. His athleticism shines through om special teams. He has blocked punts, returned kicks and made devastating blocks. He is a factor when he steps on to the field. He has freaky numbers off the field as well, posting a sub 4.4 40-yard dash and securing the Sparq National Championship in the off-season.

Capital News Service
COLLEGE PARK, Md. - Six months after Wiscasset High School became the Wolverines, the varsity boys basketball team showed up for a home game wearing t-shirts featuring the school's old mascot.
When the players walked into the gym wearing white T-shirts emblazoned with the word Redskins, the crowd gave the team -- and the T-shirts -- a standing ovation.
The game in January 2012 provided the citizens of Wiscasset, a small town on the Maine coast, one last chance to cheer for a controversial mascot that many considered an important link to the community's past.
After months of contentious debate, the regional school board voted in January 2011 to drop the name, siding with those in the community who considered the moniker a racist anachronism over the majority of Wiscasset residents who favored tradition.
"Some felt like it was the last piece of the past they were hanging onto," said Wiscasset High School principal Deb Taylor, a 1989 graduate of the school. "The power of the desire to go back to the past is very strong."
Though the school has been officially represented by a red and black wolverine for nearly two years, some in the community have refused to let go of the Redskins.
Redskins debate
As the debate over changing the name of the Washington Redskins intensifies in the nation's capital, similar debates are dividing Wiscasset and other towns where fans of local high schools cheer for their own version of the Redskins.
Some of the schools that use the controversial name have been pulled into the national debate by the Washington Redskins, as part of the team's defense of its continued use of a name that is often considered to be a racial slur.
In February, the Washington Redskins posted a series of stories on the team website highlighting four high schools that have Redskins mascots. The team quoted principals, coaches and athletic directors at those schools who said they were proud of the name Redskins.
"We did a little research. Some people might not have been inclined to do this research, but we went to a site, MaxPreps.com. We figured out there are 70 different high schools in the United States, in 25 states, that use the name Redskins," Larry Michael, the team's senior vice president and executive producer of media, said on "Redskins Nation," the show he hosts on Comcast SportsNet.
A Capital News Service analysis of the MaxPreps high school mascot data found that the Washington, D.C., NFL team likely overstated the number of schools that use the name Redskins. The MaxPreps database included schools that have stopped using the mascot, have closed or were listed twice.
Capital News Service confirmed that 62 high schools in 22 states currently use the Redskins name, while 28 high schools in 18 states have dropped the mascot over the last 25 years.
The four schools highlighted on the Washington Redskins' website do not accurately represent the level of debate over the mascot in communities across the country where the name Redskins is used, Capital News Service found.
At more than 40 percent of the schools, superintendents, principals, athletic directors, administrative assistants or other school representatives said that there have been local efforts to change the name, while at the other schools, representatives said that there has been no community issue with the name.
Tony Wyllie, a Washington Redskins senior vice president and the team's chief spokesman, declined to comment on Capital News Service's findings.
The decision to stop using Redskins happened with little controversy at some of the 28 schools that have dropped the name over the last 25 years. In others, it created bitter divisions.
At some schools, students pushed for the change, conflicting with older alumni who viewed abandoning Redskins as taking away a part of their history. At others, concerned citizens brought the issue to the attention of local officials.
'Piece of the past'
In Wiscasset, the push for the name change started with a protest from a local Native American group.
For decades, athletes at Wiscasset High School competed as the Redskins. In August 2010, the Maine Indian Tribal-State Commission wrote to the local school board arguing it was time for a change.
"Essentially [the term Redskins] is a symbol of genocide. I can't believe any school would want to have that association," said John Dieffenbacher?Krall, executive director of the commission.
After months of contentious debate, the school board voted in January 2011 to force Wiscasset High School to immediately stop using Redskins, leaving the school's athletes without an identity.
As a result of the board's decision to ban the name, students staged a walkout to show their support for keeping the name. Wiscasset alumni also forcefully opposed getting rid of the Redskins name.
"The decision was made [mid-school year] and the reaction was strong and very angry," Taylor said.
In March 2011, in response to community outcry, the school board voted to allow Wiscasset High School to use Redskins again through the end of the school year. The school adopted a new mascot -- a Wolverine -- to begin using at the start of the following school year.
But the controversy around the name change did not fade. Fans refused to chant "Go Wolverines" the way they used to chant "Go Redskins."
And even now, some in the community are hoping to bring back the Redskins.
Native American perspectives
The debate over whether sports teams should use the name Redskins has simmered for decades. The Washington Redskins and many of the 62 high schools that use the name say that it is meant to honor Native Americans, not to disparage them.
The National Congress of American Indians, the largest national organization of Native American tribes, has denounced the use of any "American Indian sports nicknames and imagery" and has stated that such use "perpetuates stereotypes of American Indians that are very harmful."
Yet not all Native Americans oppose the term Redskins. Capital News Service identified three majority Native American high schools that use it proudly, including Red Mesa High School in Arizona.
"Being from Native American culture, [the term] is not derogatory," said Tommie Yazzie, superintendent of the school district that oversees Red Mesa High School. He identified himself as a "full-blooded Navajo."
Red Mesa High School is located on a Navajo reservation, and 99.3 percent of its students are Native American, according to the National Center for Education Statistics.
Though he said it was acceptable for schools with majority Native American populations to use the name Redskins, he believes that non-Native American schools should avoid using it.
"If you were to put this in an urban area where the population is basically white, unless there is a cultural connection, it would be inappropriate," he said.
'Honoring the Indians'
A Capital News Service analysis of National Center for Education Statistics data found that 50 of 62 schools that use the name Redskins are majority white, eight are majority Hispanic and one is majority black.
Thirty-six schools told Capital News Service that the debate over the name has not reached their communities.
In Ohio, Indian Creek High School, a majority white school, principal Steve Cowser said there has never been pressure to change the name Redskins, which the school adopted in 1993.
For him, the term represents honor and respect.
"I understand what happened in the past and why the word Redskins was given to them by the white man," he said. "[But] in today's society, when we use the name Redskins, we are honoring the Indians for their heroic efforts."
Pushing for a change
Wisconsin passed in 2010 the nation's first state law banning public schools from using Native American names, mascots and logos. It left exceptions for schools that had the approval of local Native American tribes.
In 2012, the Oregon State Board of Education issued a ruling banning all Native American team names, mascots and logos. Affected schools must comply by 2017 or risk losing state funding.
Six high schools in Michigan called the Redskins could soon be forced to change their names because of legal action by the state Department of Civil Rights.
The agency filed a complaint in February with the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights, asking the federal agency to issue an order prohibiting the use of "American Indian mascots, names, nicknames, slogans, chants and/or imagery" by the state's schools.
Last year, the Washington State Board of Education approved a resolution that urged its school districts to discontinue the use of Native American mascots. The resolution cited a 2005 American Psychological Association study that found that the use of Native American mascots, symbols and images have a negative effect on students by perpetuating misconceptions about Native American culture.
An upcoming vote
Andrew Sheldon, a former Washington, D.C., resident, is trying to get his local high school in Port Townsend, Wash., to drop the name Redskins.
"It's pretty much a civil rights issue. I think the benefit of the doubt should go to [people] that are offended by the word," Sheldon said.
Last year, Sheldon sent a letter asking the school board to ban the name, resurrecting an issue that has lingered in the community since the early 1990s. His request prompted the school board to form a committee to discuss the issue.
T.J. Greene, the chairman of the nearby Makah Tribal Council, said the tribe does not have an official position on the issue.
"As a whole we wouldn't say the name needs to be changed," he said.
The board will decide whether to change the name in June, based on recommendations from the committee. Sheldon said he would pull his children out of the school system if they vote to keep it.
The issue has been voted on three times in the last 20 years by Port Townsend High School students, with the most recent vote in 2000. The students elected to keep the name all three times.
A potential return
In Wiscasset, the debate over the Redskins has not subsided, even though a year has passed since the introduction of a new mascot. Opponents of the name change are still bitter about the decision to replace the name Redskins with Wolverines.
Wiscasset High School is in the process of withdrawing from the school district that forced the name change. School officials said they want to move because of a loss of school control over the curriculum and funding issues, not because of the name change.
But if the withdrawal is successful, principal Deb Taylor said there is a chance the Redskins mascot could return.
"There is speculation that if we were to withdraw, there would be grassroots efforts to restore the Redskins mascot," she said. "It is very likely the issue arises again."
