He returned from sea and served as a 2012 summer legislative intern in Washington, D.C.
And then he began his freshman year at Stanford.
Hill is amused by his evolution, how differently he feels now at Stanford, compared to that young man who received the devastating letter.
"Stanford was like Oz almost," Hill said. "After traveling around the world, Stanford shrunk a little bit. Not in a bad way, but I was blessed to have had this running start, to come in at full speed."
He wants other students to have the same experience. He's working with Stanford administrators to build an immersive — and fully funded — gap year for pre-freshmen.
He spoke about this dream in his eight-minute TEDx Semester at Sea talk on Jan. 9. Luke Jones, a vice president with Semester at Sea, calls Brandon's speech "outstanding," and noted that the 12 speaking spots were highly competitive.
"What he was getting at was turning a situation that could have been negative into an opportunity," Jones said. "What he did and learned completely influenced everything he's done since."
He keeps doing great things. Hill served as a 2013 White House summer intern, where he was assigned to read letters coming in for President Obama. He also blogs about civic engagement on the Huffington Post.
He rejects the notion that his peers are disengaged from politics. "This is the generation where revolution begins with a tweet," he said.
"When I got that letter, I had wanted to go to Stanford to study poverty," Hill said. "But on my gap year, I actually saw and felt poverty in the favelas of Rio. In the townships of Cape Town. In the 'hoods of Atlanta.
"Sometimes, we need to stop reading and start reaching."

Just a little warning before going any further into this post, it is a little long winded. As we all agree, it has been a very rough winter and I am already driving my DW crazy with talk of hostas! I have been thinking a lot about hostas and such and just need to get it out. ____________________________________________________ As I wait for Spring to finally arrive for good in my own part of the midwest, regardless of what the calendar says, I have been slowing filling our seldom used garden tub with hosta. I have been repotting the ones that I have brought inside and as you can tell by the picture above they are taking off like gangbusters. I have been making my own potting mix since last fall using pine bark ran through a chipper, perlite and peat mixed at 5:1:1. I have also been adding greensand, alfalfa meal and bio-tone to the mix at 1 cup each per cubic foot. When I figure the total cost of material it only comes to $1.54 per cubic foot. That does not include any labor or fuel cost into it, but the cheapest I could get any thing that would compare to this would be the Pro-Mix BRK + Mycorrhizae for $3.46 a c.f. and I would have to buy two 80 c.f. bales at $276.43 each to get that price. The 2.8 c.f. bags are $4.95 a c.f. and if I buy 10 or more it comes to $4.60 a c.f. Now that I am repotting my hostas I am learning that the mix I made for my pots last summer and fall is not doing them very well for this spring. I have two that are on the verge of dying due to rot that I am experimenting with on trying to save, my EA sport and a Regal Supreme. As you can see in the picture above, they are not doing too good! Lesson learned! Now on to what I have learned. So, that being said, I now know that what I was doing was not a good way to take care of my hostas for the winter. Hopefully I do not lose a bunch because of it. I have now started to build myself an enclosure that I can keep my potted hostas in during winter and to also serve as a shaded growing area for this summer. It is a 6' x 12' area with 1/2" outdoor rated conduit that are 10' long. As you can see in these pictures I have cut the conduit in half and drilled and pinned them back together so that during the summer months I can unpin them and they will be 5' high and I will put other 10' pieces across those to make a frame to hold shade material. I am hoping that with this enclosure and the new potting media next winter will not be so hard on my collection. I will post some other pictures of the ones in my tub tomorrow and updates on my new project. If you made it all the way to the end of this post, thanks for sticking in there. To all of those that are regulars on this forum, thank you for sharing all of your knowledge. It is hard to believe I have only been on this forum for a little over 9 months. Devon |

Devon, that is a terrific cold frame/shelter/nursery/winter enclosure! Sure looks like a professional job - that frame is very sturdy. I can see that structure being used in a variety of ways/purposes throughout the growing season. What type of cover were you thinking of using for next winter? I wanted to say thank you again for providing the link where Al makes his own growing medium...which I've noted you do too..and you've added a couple of things to your mix. It will come in handy when I make my own mix. Your hosta are doing really well! Some are way ahead and look so healthy! Jo P.S. The hosta that I brought in...all tips and buds look good and growing...one is 1" tall already...what fun! |

Glad to have something long and complex to read, Smith. I am wasting away here for lack of hosta reading. I get mininugget bags of pine bark at Lowes. It is great stuff and old bags damaged over the winter work very well. I borrow bags of perlite and vermiculite from my DH who in turn borrows cow manure and MiracleGro from me. I would suggest the crushed crab shells to Jo but she lives in a persnickity community which might find their odor offensive. Plus, Smith, your wife might object to the odor emanating from the garden tub. However, they are a product of Canada by way of GlosterMA however it is spelled. Sold under trade name of Neptunes Harvest. I buy it and dried kelp in 50 lb bags. In the summer when it is sweltering hot, UPS sends a special truck by early in the morning to get it out of their way. The fishy crab smell is said to permeate everything in the truck afternoon otherwise. Once it is blended with other ingredients, I discern nothing objectionable. |

lol, Mocc! I would have an army of persnickety kitties come visit me gardens if I introduced crushed crab shells to my mix..wouldn't that smell drive them crazy! My imagination is in overdrive, lol Ken, your remarks had me re-reading Devon's post....I think you missed something when reading ... this structure is being built primarily to house/over winter his potted hosta for the coming winter...and double as a shaded growing area for the upcoming summer. As you stated, it will be awhile yet before it's safe for them for life outdoors. |

Devon, Great work on your shelter/growing area. I too, am a little curious about what you will use to cover it. I would suggest at least 6 mil greenhouse rated plastic for the winter and 60% shade cloth for the summer. For wintering over, dormant Hostas need no water. A handful of snow won't hurt if the mix is bone dry, but you don't want to give them more impetus to start any earlier than they will. Because the plants in that structure will start early. It should increase your zone by at least 2. So the plants in that structure will begin about at the same time as Phil's plants in North Carolina. That's OK, as long as you are willing to care for them inside the structure until your last frost date is past. They'll just need water and fert when they begin to grow. I wouldn't worry about the amount of sun they get in March and April at your latitude. At that time of year the intensity of the sun is much less. I doubt very much if you will see any leaf burn from full sun at that time of year. It looks like you are having fun. Keep it up. Steve |

You put a new slant on garden tub. Great start on the hoop house. You need a door, so to speak. It will keep the frame from not coming down hard on the plants. Even with shade cloth the wind can take you places you may not want to go and it will bring you down twice as hard. |

I also use AL's Gritty mix on everything. Roof support. We all sag a little sooner or later. This is my frame I used this past winter. I measure 12'x24'. The more support the better. |

Paula, your cinder blocks are multipurpose. I suppose some PVC tubing is in my future too. Just later than sooner. And Denis, when you mentioned using the Neptunes Harvest INDOORS, I really had a great chuckle. Whew, I bet that went over big with the lady o the house! hehehehehe This is such a fun thread! |
- Posted by smithstudios71 5 (My Page) on Sun, Mar 23, 14 at 17:01
Mocc, I found that if you are going to start using PVC, go with electrical conduit. It is sunlight rated and much cheaper. The 10' pieces of 1/2" were only $1.43 each at Lowe's. 1/2" schedule 40 plumbing PVC is $0.25 a foot around here. I picked up my 21 PVC bows used for $50.00 last fall. I had to drive almost 3 hours one way to get them, but it was worth it, they will make a 12' wide by 8' tall hoop house. |

Fecal responsibility: Boulder looks at DNA testing to track down poop scofflaws
Boulder City Councilwoman Mary Young wants to know how feasible it would be to require DNA samples from dogs, and create a registry so that, through DNA analysis, poop left on city trails could be traced to dog owners.
She's not suggesting every dog in Boulder be tested (yet) — just the estimated 35,000 with so-called "green tags" that allow them to romp off-leash on some of the city's trails and greenspaces.
Young has asked that the issue be discussed at tonight's City Council meeting, the Boulder Daily Camera reports. (Yes, it happens to be an April Fools Day meeting, but nobody's joking here.)
I would hope Boulder looks not just at whether it can be done (it can), but at whether it should be — that city leaders consider, in addition to the price tag of such a venture, the ethics and implications and utter goofiness of it.
There's a lot of dog-related technology I don't like (click the banner at the top of this page for one example) and poop-detection technology is near the top of the list.
Not just because of its Orwellian overtones, not just because it's heavy-handed, dictatorial, silly, creepy, intrusive and expensive. It's also because technology, unleashed, has a habit of oozing beyond the boundaries of its originally intended purpose — DNA-testing of dog poop being just such a case — and spreading into ever scarier realms.
The day could still come when your tossed cigarette butt, un-recycled soda can or expectorated phlegm could be traced back to you, which, come to think of it, might be a better use of DNA technology than that being offered by the dog poop sleuths.
Declaring war on poop, and bringing out technology's big guns, is overkill. Especially when the real solution can be achieved by simply bending over and picking up what your dog leaves behind.
In case you haven't been following our posts on this issue, here's how it works:
Deciding unscooped dog poop is simply intolerable, homeowners associations, apartment complexes or government entities sign up with a company called PooPrints, which sends them the supplies needed for residents to take swabs from the cheeks of their dogs. Those are sent to Tennessee, and a doggie DNA registry is created.
After that, any pile of poop that is found can be gathered, packaged and sent to a lab in Tennessee, where it can be unpackaged and tested and, by comparing DNA markers, matched to an individual dog, assuming that dog's DNA is in the registry.
The company lets management know who the poopetrator was, and the owner is fined $100 or so — or, if a repeat offender, perhaps told they and/or their dog should move somewhere else. Thereby a community is made safe from scofflaws, as well as, say, a grandmother whose back might have been hurting too much one day to pick up every last dropping left by her Shih Tzu.
Here in my current home state, North Carolina, apartment complexes in Winston-Salem and Wilmington are among the growing number of property management companies and government entities turning to PooPrints.
Yes, dog poop can be hazardous to our health, and harmful to the environment.
So can the feces of all the non-domesticated animals we live among, but don't feel compelled to prosecute for pooping.
So, too, can the dumpage of corporate entities, like the thousands of tons of coal ash spilled into the Dan River by Duke Energy, coating 70 miles of the river with toxic sludge.
That's a little harder to pick up after, and, I'd suggest, at least as deserving of society's consternation and oversight and vigilance as dog poop — even if punishing the culprit won't make them change their ways. (Big companies, unlike the average dog owner, can hire lawyers to avoid fines, and, if unsuccessful, they just pass the costs along to their customers.)
Finding clean sources of energy — that's a use of technology I like. Using DNA to solve murders (and clear the wrongly convicted) seems a good use, too.
But gathering, packaging and mailing dog poop so technicians in Tennessee can comb through it and test it, by comparison, seems a silly use of our technological muscles.
In Colorado, Boulder officials say dog waste on public trails is one of the most common complaints the city receives, so it's not surprising that they'd turn to a company that claims to have the solution.
Eric Mayer, director of business development for BioPet Vet Lab in Knoxville, Tenn., said the company's PooPrint service is used by private property management companies in 45 states and in Canada. Franchises are popping up all over, like Burger Kings.
So far, the company doesn't have contracts with any municipalities, but officials have been in talks with a half dozen different local governments. He said he expects to sign the first municipal PooPrints contract with Ipswich, Mass., sometime this year.
Maybe, if poop detection continues to catch on, it would be good for the economy. Maybe, you too could have a fulfilling career as a dog poop laboratory technician.
But there are far better ways to spend our time and money, and far bigger problems more deserving of our rage. Between all the emotion, and all the technology, we seem to forget that we can simply …
Pick it up!

Cellphone video leads to abuse arrest
When public officials say they "take something very seriously," it's often because they haven't been taking it very seriously.
Nearly three months ago, authorities in Las Vegas dropped an investigation into a man's complaint that his neighbor was abusing his dog.
Last week, though, that same dog owner was arrested — thanks to the persistent efforts of the neighbor who, after his earlier complaint led nowhere, went on to videotape the man mistreating his dog and than gave the evidence to officials.
Charged with felony cruelty to animals was Roy Cozart, 30, who beat his pit bull, Kilo, with a rock and the handle of a hammer and threw him against a wall, Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson announced Friday in a press release.
"Animal abuse is a serious offense that will not be tolerated," the district attorney said. "We take all allegations of abuse very seriously and pursue criminal charges when appropriate."
But as KTNV pointed out in a news report, the initial complaint against the neighbor came months ago.
While authorities apparently didn't see the original complaint as that serious, they now say Kilo was abused multiple times between July 15 and Oct. 13.
The difference, this time, was apparently the video.
Taken by the neighbor's cellphone video on Oct. 8, it allegedly shows Cozart drag Kilo by his neck, swing him around in the air and then hit the dog with a six-inch rock.
Even after that, though, an animal control investigator who later visited Cozart's home, reported that the dog, though he had cuts and bruises on his face, "appeared happy."
It wasn't until a week later that the dog was seized and examined by veterinarians who said they saw signs of abuse. Kilo is now in a foster home and is reported to be doing well, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
"We are thankful the D.A. has taken animal cruelty seriously and has brought the appropriate charges against Roy Cozart," said Gina Greisen, president of Nevada Voters for Animals. "We are confident that policies and procedures addressing serious allegations of cruelty will improve as more animal cruelty cases are prosecuted under Cooney's law," she said.
Cooney's Law was passed by the Nevada State Legislature in 2011 making animal cruelty a felony. It's named after a 3-year-old beagle from Reno who was killed when her owner cut her stomach open, thinking that a mouse crawled inside the dog. The owner was charged with a misdemeanor under the law in effect at the time.
Now it's a felony, punishable by one to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
That's progress, but only if the law is swiftly and strongly enforced.

Lotsa bark, little bite: Chicago crackdown on unlicensed dogs fizzles out
Was all that talk about a crackdown on unlicensed dogs in the Windy City just bluster?
Chicago's much publicized threat to conduct sweeps at dogs parks and beaches, track down scofflaws and issue tickets carrying fines of up to $200 — all in effort to get more of the estimated 653,000 canines living there registered — never really got rolling.
City Clerk Susana Mendoza said Tuesday that, despite publicity, free rabies clinics, contests and other citywide events aimed at encouraging dog registrations, licenses rose only from about 30,000 to 40,000 this year.
Mendoza , who testified this week at City Council budget hearings, said her office followed through on creating incentives for dog owners to get licenses, but the city's Commission on Animal Care and Control "dropped the ball" when it came to the enforcement side of the campaign.
The Chicago Sun-Times reported that was likely "either because it is inundated and understaffed or because Mayor Rahm Emanuel changed executive directors just when a ticket blitz was supposed to begin with stings at dog parks and beaches."
For years, dog owners who failed to purchase dog licenses were all but ignored by the city.
That changed in 2005, when software was put in place allowing a county list of dogs who had received rabies shot to be compared to a much shorter list of licensed dogs in the city.
Warning letters were mailed to those whose names appeared on the county's list, but not the city's.
Those produced only a small surge in registrations. Two years ago, Mayor Rahm Emanuel endorsed the planned crackdown — with fines for violators — but that produced only another small surge, and the stiffer enforcement that was promised never took place.
Licenses are $5-a-year for spayed and neutered dogs, $50 for those that are not, and $2.50 for dog owners who are senior citizens. Fines for unregistered dogs run from $30 to $200. (You can learn more about registering your dog in Chicago here.)
Mendoza estimated Chicago's dog population at more that 500,000 but others say it exceeds 653,000.
Despite the "tremendous job" her department did, Mendoza said, the crackdown "was really predicated on a strong enforcement effort, which we're not responsible for . . . I have not seen a crackdown that I would feel comfortable with in terms of really getting people to license their dogs. I'm very disappointed in it."

Rounding up unlicensed dogs in Ohio
The dog warden's office in Allen County, Ohio, is living up to its antiquated name and conducting a sweep to ensure all dogs are licensed.
Almost 100 pets have been seized since the sweep began a few days ago, Examiner.com reports. Impounded dogs that go unclaimed after three days can be euthanized under Ohio law.
The dog warden's office let pet owners know about the impending action last Thursday — or at least those that are Facebook friends.
"Hi all of our Facebook friends. Just wanted to let you all know why we haven't posted adoptable dogs….. we don't have any right now! Rescue groups have been able to take our adoptable dogs and we are very grateful they have the room because we have started our tag compliance check," the office posted.
The post continues: "Every year we print a list of people that haven't renewed their dog license, then we try to call as many as we can to see if they still have their dog. If they do we encourage them to get it within a given time. If they choose not to, then they can receive a citation or have their dog impounded or both. While out doing our compliance checks we are checking surrounding houses as well…"
In answer to a question on its Facebook page, the office said, "…so far most have claimed their dogs the same or next day, which is great. If unlicensed dogs are not claimed after the legal holding time of 3 days the healthy, friendly adoptable dogs are offered to rescues … Yes, we do euthanize."
Under Ohio law, dog owners must buy a license annually.
Owners of unlicensed dogs are subject to fines, in addition to having to pay double the price for a new license. They are also held responsible, if their pet is picked up, for covering the cost of boarding it at the pound. Law requires unlicensed dogs to be held for 3 days, and licensed dogs for 14 days, before they are turned over to a rescue or euthanized.
According to the Examiner article, pit bulls seized during the sweep might never make it back home.
Even though Ohio legislators removed pit bulls from the vicious dog list last year, cities may still enforce breed specific restrictions. The city of Lima, which is the Allen County seat, is one of those that still has a pit bull restriction in place.
"Allen County dog owners be warned," the Examiner article says. "If your dog happens to be a pit bull, or one of the other dogs that Lima ordinance lists as vicious, your dog will not make it out of the Allen County Dog Pound alive."

Probe finds lax enforcement of puppy mills
Lax government enforcement of puppy mills has led to countless dogs dying and living in horrific conditions, according to an internal government report.
Investigators say the Department of Agriculture often ignores repeat violations, waives penalties and doesn't adequately document inhumane treatment of dogs, the Associated Press reported.
In one case cited by the department's inspector general, 27 dogs died at an Oklahoma breeding facility– after inspectors had visited the facility repeatedly and cited it for violations.
The review, conducted between 2006 and 2008, found that more than half of those breeders who had already been cited for violations flouted the law again.
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said Tuesday that USDA will take immediate action. "USDA will reinforce its efforts under its animal welfare responsibilities, including tougher penalties for repeat offenders and greater consistent action to strongly enforce the law," he said.
Federal investigators uncovered grisly conditions at puppy mills around the country where dogs were infested with ticks, living with gaping wounds and in pools of feces, according to the report.
The report recommends that the animal care unit at the USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service immediately confiscate animals that are dying or seriously suffering, and better train its inspectors to document, report and penalize wrongdoing.
The investigators visited 68 dog breeders and dog brokers in eight states that had been cited for at least one violation in the previous three years. They found that first-time violators and even repeat offenders were rarely penalized.
"The agency believed that compliance achieved through education and cooperation would result in long-term dealer compliance and, accordingly, it chose to take little or no enforcement action against most violators," the report said.
In the case of the Oklahoma breeding facility, the breeder had been cited for 29 violations, including nine repeated violations, from February 2006 to January 2007. The inspector returned in November 2007 before any enforcement action had taken place, according to the report, and found five dead dogs and "other starving dogs that had resorted to cannibalism."
Despite these conditions, the inspectors did not immediately confiscate the surviving dogs and, the report says, 22 additional dogs died before the breeder's license was revoked.
Wayne Pacelle, president of the Humane Society of the United States, said the report confirms what animal rights groups have been pointing out for for years.
"Enforcement is flaccid, the laws are weak and reform needs to happen," he said. "We have long criticized having the animal welfare enforcement functions within a bureaucracy dedicated to promoting American agriculture. There's a built-in conflict of interest."

Children pelt tied dog with rocks and bricks
On Easter Sunday, a bloodied 1-year-old dog who'd been pelted with rocks and bricks was brought into Baltimore Animal Rescue and Care Shelter. Staff named her Christy.
Christy was treated for injuries that included several wounds on the top of her head, a swollen and bruised snout, a bloodied nose, hemorrhages in both eyes and a wound on the dorsal surface of a front paw.
The Baltimore Bureau of Animal Control is investigating the case, which was reported by a witness who saw a group of youths — estimated to be 12 or 13 years old — throwing rocks and bricks at a dog who was tied up in the 3700 block of Greenspring Avenue near the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Elementary School.
When a concerned citizen went to rescue the dog, BARCS officials say, the youths began throwing rocks and bricks at him.
Animal enforcement officers are contacting the school to determine if the surveillance cameras captured the incident.
Jennifer Mead-Brause, BARCS executive director, appealed to any one with information about the case to step forward.
"This is another shocking incident of animal abuse. Once again the fact that perpetrators are so young … is very disturbing. These young people are in urgent need of help. Incidents of animal abuse are a key predictor of violent criminal behavior."
Any one with information is asked to call the Baltimore city Bureau of Animal Control at (410) 396-4698.
Mead-Braus added, "I urge people living in the neighborhood to pay close attention to their companion animals. Animals who are allowed to roam at large are an easy target for this type of abuse."

Keep your dog, lose your parking space
Residents who have snuck dogs into a no-dogs-allowed Brooklyn housing co-op are being told to get rid of their dogs, or face monthly $100 fines and the loss of their parking spaces.
The co-op board notified residents of Trump Village of the new enforcement policy in a notice last month.
"I think it's totally ridiculous," Marylyn Langsdorf, 66, who lives with her 6-pound Yorkshire terrier, Chelsea, told the New York Daily News. "I think the whole point is to just get money from us."
Langsdorf and other residents with dogs have already been fined, but they've yet to have their parking spaces revoked.
About 1,700 residents live in the three-building complex, and a dozen already have contacted a Manhattan attorney who specializes in pet-related tenant rights.
"It's a way to extract money from these folks and scare the hell out of them to give up dogs they've had for years," said attorney Maddy Tarnofsky.
Warren Hirsch, a spokesman for the Trump Village co-op board, said "a small number of residents have surreptitiously smuggled in dogs in defiance of the rules and regulations binding them. They have thumbed their noses at their fellow cooperators and dared the co-op to do something about it."

16 Herod, when he realized that the scholars had tricked him, flew into a rage. He commanded the murder of every little boy two years old and under who lived in Bethlehem and its surrounding hills. (He determined that age from information he'd gotten from the scholars.) | 16 When Herod realized that he had been outwitted by the Magi, he was furious, and he gave orders to kill all the boys in Bethlehem and its vicinity who were two years old and under, in accordance with the time he had learned from the Magi. |

DSU Becomes 1st State Entity in Obama's Better Building Challenge
Posted: December 2, 2011
DSU President Harry L. Williams said the University has a role in modeling best practices in Delaware. He said DSU is doing just that through its building energy upgrades project. |
Delaware State University's commitment to be an institutional leader in environmental stewardship has moved to a new level as it has become the first state entity in President Barack Obama's Better Building Challenge announced today.
The Challenge is part of the Obama Administration's Better Buildings Initiative launched earlier this year spearheaded by former President Bill Clinton and the President's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness.
The Better Buildings Initiative supports job creation by catalyzing private sector investment in commercial and industrial building energy upgrades to make America's buildings 20% more efficient over the next decade, reducing energy costs across the country by nearly $40 billion.
The University was invited to be a part of the initiative as the result of its honor in receiving the 2011 Climate Leadership Award from the American College & University Presidents' Climate Commitment (ACUPCC). The award recognized DSU for the work it has done as a member institution of the ACUPCC through its Go Green initiative on campus since 2009.
DSU is one of 60 university, corporate, community and industrial partners in the Better Buildings Initiative. Of the 10 universities, DSU is the only HBCU (Historically Black Colleges and Universities) selected.
"Higher education should play a meaningful role in modeling best practices for their states. Delaware State University is honored to join President Obama in the Challenge and also to contribute to Delaware's becoming an environmental leader in reducing its carbon footprint," said DSU President Harry L. Williams, in attendance at today's announcement and gathering of participants in Washington, D.C.
Among DSU's initiatives enabling it to be part of the President Obama's Challenge is a Guaranteed Energy Savings Agreement in coordination with the Delaware Sustained Utility (SEU). The University entered into the agreement, allowing it to invest in energy conservation and facility improvements, after completing an exhaustive investment grade energy audit.
"We were looking for ways to address some needed facility improvements in a way that would save on energy costs and allow us to spend dollars on other needs to serve our students," Dr. Williams said.
The endeavor will help the University realize more than $5 million in savings over 20 years. The SEU has issued Energy Efficiency Revenue Bonds to finance upgrades and help DSU achieve a goal of 25% in greenhouse gas reductions by 2015.
DSU is the first Delaware entity to commit its participation in President Barack Obama's Better Buildings Challenge. |
State Sen. Harris B. McDowell III, D-Wilmington North, who sponsored the legislation setting up the state's Sustainable Energy Utility and serves as its co-chair, congratulated the University on becoming part of an important national program.
"A hallmark of any great leader is his or her ability to both seize and take full advantage of the opportunities before them," McDowell said. "President Harry Williams and DSU Executive Vice President for Finance and University Treasurer Amir Mohammadi have demonstrated vision and leadership by joining the SEU Bond Program and saving the University millions of dollars in energy costs."
McDowell, long recognized as a leader in energy policy, said the program is important because it helps institutions take advantage of the "non-use of energy" which he observed is the nation's cleanest and greatest new energy resource. "President Williams has helped to cement DSU's position as one of our country's most forward-thinking schools."
Dr. John Byrne, co-chair of the SEU and the architect of the bond structure, praised DSU for embracing the distinctive role of higher education. "DSU has turned its campus into a living laboratory for how to build a sustainable future – it shines as a model of advanced thinking for the country," he said.
The SEU's 2011 Energy Efficiency Bond is the first in the country to finance clean energy investments from the money savings created. The SEU has put Delaware in the forefront of clean energy efforts nationally, with several cities, counties and states duplicating the model, according to Dr. Byrne.
"Being asked to be a member of the President's Better Building Challenge validates that DSU is focused on what matters to our state and our nation, " said Dr. Williams.

An indefinite curfew was imposed on Krishanganj in Rajasthan on Wednesday evening, after two groups clashed during the day.
The clashes started after verbal abuses among school students playing football. These led to heavy stone-throwing and unconfirmed reports of exchange of fire once the elders took over.
Reports here said curfew was clamped in the town bordering Gujarat, around 6.30 p.m. after police fired in the air to disperse unruly mobs. Earlier, they resorted to baton charge and burst teargas shells. Six persons were injured in the clashes and police action. The troublemakers reportedly set a jeep on fire.
The dispute between children started after a kick from one of the players inadvertently landed on the body of another. Soon after, the family members of the children took over. Highway 27, leading to Palanpur in Gujarat, was blocked by a group which protested against the incident.
The police have rounded up some persons. The authorities said the situation was under control.

0Jan 25, '13 by fpnycI hope so! I'm still so nervous since they cut it down to 50 I feel like everyone that gets in will have a 4.0 and 160.. :/ but I used the red book to study for about a month. The vocab was hardest for me I feel like with that section you either know it or you don't. For the science most of it was very straightforward but there were wayyyy more physics questions than I anticipated so definitely study that. For the math I felt the questions in the book were a lot easier than on the test and you have to be very quick.. I ran out of time on that part and math is my best subject. But you'll do fine! I walked out of there thinking I did horrible but it turned out alright lol
0Feb 14, '13 by eca2493pandora- i wouldn't be too discouraged. The gpas and nln scores are always high for hunter but i have seen people post that they have gotten in with 3.4s. So a 140 doesn't disqualify you automatically especially with such a good gpa.
I am applying to the accelerated program but am worried as well. I am taking the nln at the end of the month and right now am just doing practice questions all the time and then reviewing questions i get wrong. Does anyone have any other study tips? I already read/studied all the beginning sections in the red book. Thanks!

Confronted with life's hardships, some people snap, and others snap back. WHEN I BEGAN MY CAREER in journalism--I was a reporter at a national magazine in those days--therewas a man I'll call Claus Schmidt. He was in his mid-fifties, and to my impressionable eyes, he was the quintessential newsman: cynical at times, but unrelentingly curious and full of life, and oftenhilariously funny in a sandpaper-dry kind of way. He churned out hard-hitting cover stories and features with a speed and elegance I could only dream of. It always astounded me that he was neverpromoted to managing editor. But people who knew Claus better than I did thought of him not just as a great newsman but as a quintessential survivor, someone who had endured in an environment often hostileto talent. He had lived through at least three major changes in the magazine's leadership, losing most of his best friends and colleagues on the way. At home, two of his children succumbed toincurable illnesses, and a third was killed in a traffic accident. Despite all this-or maybe because of it-he milled around the newsroom day after day, mentoring the cub reporters, talking about the novelshe was writing-always looking forward to what the future held for him. Why do some people suffer real hardships and not falter? Claus Schmidt could have reacted very differently. We've all seen thathappen: One person cannot seem to get the confidence back after a layoff; another, persistently depressed, takes a few years off from life after her divorce. The question we would all like answered is,Why? What exactly is that quality of resilience that carries people through life? It's a question that has fascinated me ever since I first learned of the Holocaust survivors in elementary school. Incollege, and later in my studies as an affiliate scholar at the Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute, I returned to the subject. For the past several months, however, I have looked on it with... [continua]

September 2006Anstadt Printing was founded in 1878 as The Anstadt Co. by the Reverend Peter Anstadt. He started the company by printing and publishing a Sunday School Teachers' Guide. Since then, the establishment has continued to offer more services and add new capabilities.
Now entering its fifth generation of family ownership, the company's management includes its chairman, Henry Anstadt, who has been with the business for more than 40 years, and its president, Matthew Doran. Anstadt employs 35 to 40 people, including full- and part-time staff.
Recently, the firm began experiencing an increased demand for high-quality, short-run color work that was difficult to competitively produce on its two- and five-color sheetfed offset presses. To handle a wider range of jobs, Anstadt acquired a Presstek 5634 DI digital offset press in May.
With its on-press imaging of plates, fast-drying waterless inks, automation and 300-line screen printing, Doran decided it was a logical investment. The company is now producing more applications using the DI in conjunction with its traditional five-color offset press on the same project.
Prior to acquiring the Presstek unit, the firm was producing jobs of varying run lengths on its five-color press. Pricing structures were geared to making it easy for Anstandt estimators to price a variety of work competitively. But, oftentimes, Anstadt had to turn away the longer runs.
"We could not afford to tie up the press on a 150,000 quantity job because it meant we wouldn't be able to produce the myriad of other short- to medium-run jobs customers needed in a hurry," Doran recalls.
Almost all medium- to short-run jobs up to 20,000 are now produced on the DI press, Doran explains, with the five-color dedicated to longer runs. Additionally, Anstadt is frequently using both presses on a job—with the DI press producing color covers, and the five-color press outputting the interior.
Doran cites examples of quantities of 500 to 1,000 75- to 100-page catalogs that Anstadt is able to produce more quickly, efficiently and profitably using the presses in tandem. "We never would have been able to do that work with toner-based digital printing because of the high-quality covers that the customer requires," he notes.

Things we (sort of) like: stinky tofu
OK, so I don't really like stinky tofu and judging by his face (especially animated for the camera), Ben doesn't either. But for me, stinky tofu is a pleasant (and smelly) trip down memory lane. It wasn't that long ago that I lived in Hong Kong but I have fond memories of trying it for the first time with my mother when she visited. She grew up in Hong Kong and associates the snack with her youth. So it was both adorable and horrifying when my mother suddenly stopped in her tracks as we were walking around the city. Like a puppy who had just caught wind of a steak, she stuck her nose in the air and furrowed her brow with great concentration. We had just been hit in the face with the stench of hot garbage mixed with fish sauce.
"STINKY TOFU!" she cried excitedly and she was off, leaving her only child behind. Her little feet quickly maneuvering through the crowded streets of Mong Kok, eyes darting around for the coveted greasy squares. Finally, she spotted a stall, the one with the largest crowd around it. She didn't even ask if I, a few yards back, wanted some, she dutifully handed her money over, doused the tofu in hot sauce and messily ate her cubes with glee.
When I think of stinky tofu, I think of those few minutes in which I witnessed my mother's childlike excitement. I don't first think of the smelliness, nor do I consider the anti-climatic taste of it (far less offensive then the smell). I think of my mom and the joy she gets from biting into a hot cube of fermented tofu.
Question: Have you ever tried stinky tofu? What did you think of it?
(I wish I had a photo of my mom instead weirdo Ben, but that photo is pretty great, eh?)

What is one food you've had on your travels that you NEVER want to taste again? added these pithy words on May 13 11 at 8:24 amBen added these pithy words on Jul 14 10 at 3:01 pmfor the record, i didn't hate it, i liked it well enough. it just wasn't good enough to combat the smell (which is exactly like thai fish sauce) which i was exposed to while in line.
Andrea added these pithy words on Jul 14 10 at 3:03 pmThat's true, you didn't hate it. I think it's different than fish sauce in that fish sauce has a bit of citrus smell in the finish which somehow makes it less offensive.
Nicole added these pithy words on Jul 14 10 at 3:08 pmWow, what a great story. This almost makes me want to eat that stinky, stinky tofu. ALMOST!
SinoSoul added these pithy words on Jul 14 10 at 3:09 pmI think of the stinkiness, and then the handsomely sour pickled cabbages, then the soft pillowy wretchedness in my mouth. In that order. Finding the perfect combination is impossible in this country. -another modicus remix user.
James M added these pithy words on Jul 15 10 at 9:15 amI'm intrigued. I would try it, I don't mind the smell of fish sauce. That's a nice story about your mom though.
ANdrea's Mom added these pithy words on Jul 15 10 at 9:50 amWhat kind of mother am I to abandon my only child for stinky tofu. At least it should be something more classy – caviar maybe.
I will do better next time.
Andrea's Mom
Charlie added these pithy words on Jan 11 12 at 4:32 pmStinky tofu is delicious, like the fried version better than the steamed. Somehow the steaming process makes the smell more pungent.
Now durian is a food that I wouldn't touch for all the money in the world.
stinkytofulover added these pithy words on Jun 22 12 at 7:55 pmStinky tofu is one of the greatest, most delicious foods ever invented. The "stench" is aromatic for people who have grown up with it like me. After you get used to the smell and taste of stinky tofu you don't eat regular fried tofu anymore because it tastes disgustingly bland.
Great story btw, it must have been very interesting to see your mom's reaction. I can imagine how surprising it would be to visit my mom's hometown in Taiwan with her.
