Every day the Center for Green Schools is working to create and support programs, resources and partnerships that transform all schools into healthy learning environments.
Let us tell you a little bit about how we do that!
Equip and Empower
The Center for Green Schools provides students and staff across every level of education with the tools and resources they need to transform their learning environments. Through leadership trainings, continuing education opportunities, and strategic guidance, the Center helps schools, districts and institutions optimize school environments for learning, conserve resources and put money back into the classroom where it belongs.
K-12 school sustainability leadership
The Center for Green Schools is committed to ensuring that all students have the opportunity to attend a school that is healthy, safe and efficient. We know that, even in these challenging economic times, school districts are doing everything they can to provide their students with a quality education and a safe place to learn.
Every day, school leaders are faced with a host of challenges, from meeting ever-shifting academic standards to tackling an ever-growing deferred maintenance list. With capital and operating budgets stretched thin, there are more problems than funds to address them. At the Center for Green Schools, we help school districts optimize school environments for learning, conserve resources and put money back into the classroom.
Building upon successful initiatives like our Green Schools Fellowship and Scholarship Programs, the Center convenes the nation's only network for school district sustainability professionals. This network of over 150 professionals stays connected through an online network, quarterly webcasts, and an annual School Sustainability Leaders' Summit. Individuals who would like to be added to this network can request access by emailing [email protected].
The group we convene is a vibrant network of school districts of all shapes and sizes. Each district we work with is dedicated to positively impacting the health and performance of the thousands of students, teachers and staff that it serves and blazing the trail for other districts to follow. Join us!
Students know what it means to live sustainably, and they are the best advocates for transforming schools into places that are inspiring, thought provoking and good for the planet and everyone on it. Students across the country are leading environmental organizations in their schools. These students plant gardens on school property, calculate carbon footprints, advocate for green building policies, assess school energy use, enforce the school's recycling program with their peers, encourage educators to bring sustainability curriculum into the classroom, and much more.
USGBC Students are hard at work transforming their campuses, communities and careers. Representing college and university-based groups and individuals, USGBC Students provides a way for hundreds of young leaders to come together and participate in hands-on green building experiences on their own campuses. USGBC helps students integrate sustainability themes into their coursework, advocates for sustainable university practices and policies, and facilitates student attendance at green building conferences, events and collaborations with other student organizations, campaigns and initiatives.
USGBC Students recruit, connect and equip the next generation of green building leaders by empowering them to transform their campuses, communities and careers.
Join the global USGBC Students community today. Create a USGBC user profile and indicate that you're a student in the checkbox. If you already have a USGBC account, update your student status. Include your institution name and graduation year, and share your proudest on-campus accomplishments.

LEED® Lab™
LEED Lab is a multidisciplinary immersion course that utilizes the built environment to educate and prepare students to become green building leaders and sustainability-focused citizens. In the course students assess the performance of existing facilities on campus and choose one building where they will facilitate the LEED for Building Operations and Maintenance (LEED O+M) process with the goal of certifying the facility. At the close of the semester the students are prepared to sit for the LEED AP O+M professional credential exam.
LEED Lab meets the needs of the building industry by equipping students with the skills, knowledge and expertise required to be effective communicators, project managers, critical thinkers, problem solvers, engaged leaders, and team players.
The LEED Lab offering is now available for adoption by any higher education institution. Learn how your institution can offer a LEED Lab by expressing interest.

Green Strides
Created in 2011, the U.S. Department of Education Green Ribbon Schools (ED-GRS) recognition award honors public and private elementary, middle, and high schools, districts, and postsecondary institutions that are demonstrating leadership in three Pillars:
- Reducing environmental impact and costs, including waste, water, energy use and alternative transportation;
- Improving the health and wellness of students and staff, including environmental health, nutrition and fitness; and
- Providing effective sustainability education, including robust environmental education that engages STEM, civic skills and green career pathways.
ED-GRS encourages state education, health, and environment authorities, stakeholders, and school communities to consider matters of facilities, health and environment comprehensively, strengthening the critical collaborations that ensure all of our nation's schools are healthier, safer, and more sustainable.
To support this journey towards wholly greener schools, the Green Strides web portal, powered by the Center for Green Schools in support of the Department of Education, connects school communities across the country with free, publically-available resources to support green school. The Green Strides portal provides a one-stop-shop for resources, webinars, case studies, best practices and collaboration so that all schools can make progress across every Pillar.
Catalyze and Connect
Volunteers and community advocates have always been the foundation of the green schools movement. The vision of green schools for all within this generation has united communities across geographic, political and economic spectrums. By working together over the last decade we've improved the places where millions of our children learn.
Green Apple Day of Service
The Green Apple Day of Service gives community members, teachers, students, companies and local organizations the opportunity to transform all schools into healthy, safe and productive learning environments through local service projects. Since 2012, more than 675,000 volunteers have participated around the world to make our schools healthier, more sustainable places to learn.

Coalitions for Green Schools: Connecting a global movement
The Coalitions for Green Schools creates a powerful global force for ensuring that every child has the opportunity to learn in a green school within this generation. It seeks to amplify the voices of the many local, national and global coalitions around the world who work tirelessly to make their schools healthy, safe and efficient.
Powered by the Center for Green Schools' historic success and the expertise of the World GBC, the Coalitions for Green Schools works alongside its national members to share best practices, resources and case studies, provide tools and infrastructure to this growing network of national coalitions, and introduce programs, initiatives and campaigns that can be replicated across the world.
Local coalitions
Modeled on the tremendous successes of the U.S. Coalition for Green Schools and the new and thriving network of more than 30 other national coalitions for green schools, state coalitions will raise public awareness that where we learn matters; advise on forward-thinking, bipartisan green school policies at the state and local level; and convene stakeholders across the three pillars of a green school (environmental impact, human health and sustainability literacy).
National coalitions
National Coalitions for Green Schools bring together a country's strongest advocates for children, in order to create a national vision of healthy, high performance schools that are conducive to learning while saving energy, resources and money. In the U.S. alone, the U.S. Coalition for Green Schools Executive Committee collectively represents more than 11 million members nationwide.
Global coalitions
The Global Coalition for Green Schools creates a powerful global force for ensuring that every child has the opportunity to learn in a green school within this generation. It seeks to amplify the voices of the many national coalitions around the world who work tirelessly to make their schools healthy, safe and efficient. The Global Coalition works alongside its national members to share best practices, resources and case studies, provide tools and infrastructure to this growing network of national coalitions, and introduce programs, initiatives and campaigns that can be replicated across the world.
Congressional Green Schools Caucus
United in the belief that healthy, environmentally friendly schools promote learning, save taxpayer money and benefit everyone, The Congressional Green Schools Caucus brings together leaders across political parties.
The Congressional Green Schools Caucus, now approaching 50 members, was formed as a way to educate and inform members of Congress on the enormous impact they have on our nation's approach to new and existing school buildings. With support from USGBC, the Caucus empowers federal legislators to work together and with their constituents to take advantage of opportunities to make our schools greener, our students and teachers healthier and our communities stronger.
The Caucus hosts regular briefings on the benefits of green schools, supports policy discussions, creates opportunities for caucus members to work to advance legislative and programmatic goals together and equips members of Congress with resources for their constituents. Caucus members and their staff also participate in educational programs to learn what is going on nationally and in their districts, including site visits to green schools and educational panels with teachers, architects and school officials from across the country.
For more information about the Congressional Green Schools Caucus and ways to support its expanding efforts, please contact Bryan Howard at [email protected].

USGBC 50 for 50 Green Schools Caucus Initiative
Many of the most important decisions made about our nation's schools come at the state level. The 50 for 50 initiative is a catalyst for forward-thinking state legislators to coordinate, educate and reach out to their colleagues and constituents about the many benefits of green schools. From construction to renovation to curriculum to operations and maintenance, the caucuses will serve as an information resource for this increasingly sophisticated and complex public policy area.
Interested in becoming a member of your state's Green School Caucus?
Caucus members have access to:
- The latest innovations and developments in green building policies, including trends, cost-benefit studies and incentives offered by localities to advance and promote green building.
- Networking opportunities with like-minded legislators across the country.
- Opportunities for partnerships with experts in their communities, from architects to engineers to contractors.
- Opportunities to present best practices and successes in regional and national forums.
For more information about the 50 for 50 Green Schools Caucus Initiative, as well as ways to sponsor future Green Schools State Legislative Summits, resource development, or the activities of the Advisory Council, please contact Nate Allen at [email protected].

This commissioned wall mural that is causing quite a stir, is federally protected.
The artist took to the Internet this weekend to speak his mind about a move to hide it from view.
"I am extremely concerned that someone can throw tarps over art that has been hanging for more than 16 years," said Hans Ladislaus.
His abstract mural entitled "Forgotten Inheritance" depicts bones in the sand that a recognized cultural descendant of the area found "offensive."
Ladislaus told KITV last week he was appalled no one bothered to contact him before the artwork was draped in black.
"The mural was never meant to be offensive. It underwent scrutiny by many government communities including native Hawaiians," Ladislaus said.
The Hawaii Tourism Authority intends to have it removed and replaced by art by a native Hawaiian.
But in trying to be the sensitive to the host culture of the islands, the HTA may run afoul of federal law.
A University of Hawaii law professor told KITV, under the Visual Artist Act, Ladislaus may have a case.
"Their work is protected from mutilation and from being covered up, as is done in this case," said University of Hawaii law processor Danielle Conway.
Conway calls it a form of censure, and is chilling to an artist's creativity.
And she said is another reason why it's really important to have written agreements to understand the context.
The art controversy prompted one viewer to ask if it's not OK to depict iwi at the convention center, what makes it OK for a hanging at the Hawaiian Studies building at UH Manoa.
This art piece, by a native Hawaiian, depicts the desecration of sacred kaai -- bones of Hawaiian chiefs that were taken from burial site and sold to a museum.
"I have seen it and it's not as offensive as this one is," said Paulette Kaleikini, who complained about Ladislaus' work.
"The question will come up are there places and spaces and artists who have the authority to display these kinds of works and the short answer is, absolutely yes," said Conway.
"There is a certain reverence and sacredness to certain things and anyone who is going to cross over the native realm is going to have to deal with our arguments about that. They cannot assume a western value like 'the artist is free to express whatever he wants.' That doesn't work for us and it will never work for us," said UH Hawaiian Studies professor Jon Osorio.
It remains to be seen how this dispute will play out. But Conway suggests now would be the time to try and amend the Visual Artists Act to recognize indigenous traditional intellectual property law as a way to clarify cases like this going forward.

My doctor prescribed Zoloft and referred me to a therapist. I see the therapist on October 10, and I have a follow up appointment with my doc about the Zoloft on October 26.
I did go to the LLL family day, and I'm going to their next meeting, which is October 19.
Thanks for following up.
How are you feeling? If the therapist doesn't click (or if that feels like too far away) remember there are a lot of them out there and you can keep trying them out until you click.
proud but exhausted working mammy to two high needs babies

- the shock H-Girl born about a week late (10/7/09) at 8lbs 15oz and 20.75 inches.
If I am here I am covered in baby (probably two) and fighting for control of the keyboard.
Family beds are awesome
Wondering if you have PPD? Take the screening and see your doctor. You deserve to feel better.
Thanks for the update, Keep up all the great stuff you were trying in addition to the meds! How do you feel?

Thanks, I feel a lot better. I really appreciate the support here.
Mama, you're not a bad mama, your having a hard patch and looking for help! I totally understand. My LO makes the most annoying noise that drives DH and I up the wall! Sometimes I just want to cover her mouth or scream! Getting in touch with the local LLL group is a great start! Getting some time away would probably help as well, at this point you can probably leave LO for 2-3 hours. I'd nurse first and then go relax! One thought, I'd suggest seeing a counselor and psychiatrist. Seeing your family Dr is alright, but a psych will have much more background with meds and be able to get just the right thing for you (if meds are where you need to go, they can help determine that as well). A counselor will give you someone to talk to and work out solutions with!
Hang in there, it will get better!
My girl is distractible baby almost 7 months. Sometimes we need about 10 minutes to start breastfeed. So hard, but days are passing by...almost 7 months, Good time is runing so quick...
What am I doing? Thinking how nice is to have healthy child...that is the most important thing...other things are part of motherhood.
I'm so glad you're seeking the help you need! PPD can definitely set in later. I started on zoloft when Joe was eight months. I probably should have asked for it a lot sooner. My maternity leave with Joe went great, but when I went back to work, everything just started falling apart. It's so important to have support and help. You definitely shouldn't feel like a bad mama - this can happen to anyone.
You can call me JoMo!

The honey bee is primarily involved in the production of honey and is today found worldwide. The honey bee is thought to originate from the jungles of south east Asia, where wild honey can still be found and the honey bee eventually took up residence in numerous countries.
The honey bees build and inhabit a hive, run by their female queen honey bee who populates the hive. The honey collects nectar from flowers which it takes back to the hive to be turned into honey. At the height of the summer, over 40,000 honey bees can be found inhabiting just one hive.
Honeybees communicate with each other through 'dance language', which consists of movements made by the honey bee's tail. Honey bees primarily use this form of communication to warm other honey bees of oncoming danger.
The honey bee is a herbivorous animal and therefore lives purely on the nutrients from plants. Honey bees prefer to ingest the sweeter plant produce such as nectar, pollen, fruits and even honey.
Due to their small size, honey bees have a number of predators in their natural environment. Birds, small mammals, reptiles and other insects are known to prey on the honey bee and larger mammals such as bears are notorious for destroying the hive of the honey bees in order to eat the honey inside.
The queen honey bee is the one who lays the eggs. She lays her eggs in a round-shaped mound that she then seals with wax. When the baby honey bees (larvae) hatch they are forced to eat their way out of their sealed dome.
Honey bees are known to play a valuable part in the eco-system as around 1/3 of what humans eat is pollinated by bees. It is estimated that around 80% of the world's crop species are dependent on the pollination by bees to survive.
Sadly due to high pollution levels and habitat loss, the honey bee populations are rapidly declining with the honey bee being one of the few insects that is classed as being endangered and is therefore severely threatened with extinction. Human beings do not give bees the respect they deserve, as honey bees are vital to the survival of plants which are in turn vital to the survival of humans.

WorldCat, making FirstSearch uniquely valuable
At the center of FirstSearch is WorldCat, a cooperative database of bibliographic records contributed by more than libraries, making it the world's largest, most complete, and most consulted library union catalog. Your users can quickly find what they're looking for among the 372 million global information sources in all formats—books, full text, electronic books and journals, Web-based articles, and audio and video recordings—from the full range of recorded history.
Users find what they want
Because search results are automatically ranked by the most widely-held items, searchers are more likely to be successful in locating items in your library or in nearby libraries.
Focuses attention on your resources first
The WorldCat listings produced by FirstSearch can be focused to show only the collections within your library or your library group—effectively acting as a local catalog—with Web links and full-image, full-text access where available.
Makes your collection more visible
WorldCat also highlights your collection by indicating when your library or group owns an item, whether the user performing the search is across town or on the other side of the world. These WorldCat ownership icons in FirstSearch facilitate resource borrowing and lending between nearly one billion library locations through OCLC's WorldCat Resource Sharing program.
Quality records, continuously refined
Quality control programs at OCLC and its member institutions and the application of international standards help eliminate duplicate records and keep reliability high. And OCLC regularly adds enhancements to WorldCat requested by FirstSearch users; recent additions include search term suggestions and the ability to refine search results by audience, content, or format.
College students on WorldCat:
"[WorldCat is] not only the most comprehensive but also the very best library catalog search engine I have ever used… I've never seen such a collection of well-implemented, easy-to-use, genuinely useful features in one place."
"I am in love with the More Like This features you have added…this makes narrowing down a search so much fun… and easy!"

Why Do I Want a New Telescope?
The best equipment for astrophotography captures what the eye can see and even some things the eye cannot see. The images you can create of space with a camera will amaze you.
Selecting a telescope that can help you capture wonderful astrophotography images is no small task. Even at the entry level there is a wide range of prices and features. As we began our search for astrophotography beginner telescopes, we considered several factors.
We are assuming that the beginning astrophotographer is not a beginning astronomer. Attempting to create photographic images of celestial objects probably means you know where at least some of them are and have an idea about how to capture them. We assume you have taken a few shots of the night sky with a camera and are ready to find out what adding a telescope can do. You just need the equipment to make it happen. We can help. Check out our articles related to beginner astrophotography.
What to Look for in Astrophotography Beginner Telescopes?
A first astrophotography telescope should be a great telescope in general. It should provide excellent views of celestial objects that you want to see and photograph.
Forget about bells and whistles or accessories. Astrophotography telescope designers and marketers assume you have at least one telescope and tripod already. They assume you have seen pretty objects in the sky (with your existing equipment) that you would like to capture in a tangible format.
In astrophotography, the telescope itself is only one component of a set of equipment that will matter. Most telescopes in this category are sold as optical tubes only, allowing you to select the type of mounts and cameras that will best help you reach your specific goals.
An entry-level astrograph should be relatively conservative in price. If you have not experimented with this part of astronomy, it's not worth spending thousands until you know you will be using the instrument enough to justify it.
When you purchase an astrophotography telescope, you are paying for the quality of the optics more than anything else. Good beginner astrophotography telescopes will offer optical elements that lead to good color correction and a flat field of view. Lenses and mirrors will be made of, and coated with, high quality materials and configured to be conducive to astrophotography.
We also considered whether the overall viewing experience is likely to justify the telescope's price. We looked for scopes that give you a lot of features for an entry-level price.
Viewing Experience
An astrophotography telescope should start by making it easy to find great views and eventually lead to the capture of great views. A quality viewing experience includes things like the telescope's ability to interface easily with other equipment, its usability, any unique features and its ability to help you find your desired targets.
Although not the most important element for all astrophotographers we assume the majority will want to take their scope to areas where there is dark sky. It is possible to take photographs from the back patio but we assume those who are willing to invest in a telescope designed specifically for astrophotography are going to want to enjoy the hobby at various locations. Portability is somewhat relative but we looked for equipment that would not involve a crane in transportation. The astrophotography telescopes we liked best were petite without being flimsy.
Help & Support
With any purchase, customers want a company who will stand behind their product. Astrophotography beginner telescopes represent a significant investment for most and getting them to work properly may take a little support from a company's customer service personnel, whether it's online or on the phone.
In short, we looked for the best astrophotography beginner telescopes. We found the 8-inch f/8 Ritchey-Chretien, the 80mm f/6 Air-spaced Triplet ED Apochromatic Refractor and the 190mm f/5.3 Mak-Newt Astrograph to offer the ideal combination of features for their price. Finding the perfect equipment for your budget will lead to years of enjoyment and exploration. Capturing the beauty of the skies will take your love of astronomy to new heights.

Twinfield student jumping to see the worldStefan Hard / Staff Photo
Twinfield Union School senior Meg John is raising funds for a study trip to eight countries through Thinking Beyond Borders. John has pledged to jump for every dollar of the $10,000 she needs to raise, and is posting videos of the jumps to a website as proof.
MARSHFIELD — A Twinfield senior is using the latest trend in fundraising so she can travel abroad after graduation.
Meg John is hoping to raise $16,000 for tuition and travel expenses so she can join Thinking Beyond Borders, an organization that offers a "gap year" program so recent high school graduates can study abroad before starting college. The full cost of the program is $36,000, but John said the program will match every $1 she raises with $2, up to a maximum contribution of $20,000.
To help raise the money, John has created an Indiegogo page. Indiegogo is a crowd funding website like Kickstarter where someone asks the public for money for a project and offers perks related to the project depending on how much someone gives.
John started her page a month ago and has raised just under $5,000 so far. She hopes, by May 6, to raise the remaining $5,000 that she's asking for on her page called "Jumping Beyond Borders" — so called because John is literally jumping for each dollar she raises and documenting the jumps with video on the web page.
The incentives she is offering donors include photos, a blog subscription, postcards, copies of media projects she completes during the trip and — at the highest contribution level of $1,000 — a meal she will cook from one of the countries she visits.
John said she has also been pledged around $3,000 by people, but that money is not in hand yet.
If John raises the money, she will travel with a group of 18 students and adult mentors to Ecuador, Peru, India, South Africa, China and Cambodia. In those countries, she will do things like work on farms and in clinics for those with HIV.
John said she lived in New York City until she was 10 and has been to France and England, but that this experience would give her a more "worldly perspective" outside the United States and Europe.
John has been accepted to Goucher College in Maryland, and she said the school requires its students to study abroad. She hopes to study anthropology or sociology in college, but her exact focus is still up in the air. John hopes to use the travel program to channel her focus into her college degree.
She said she also hopes to use the trip to educate herself "about the state of the world" and really see what's going on.
John said she would leave this fall and return in mid-April. She plans to take college courses during the trip, but since the program has been around only since 2008, those classes might not earn her any college credit unless her school agrees to accept them. Credit or no credit, John said it doesn't matter because the experience is what is most important.

National Child Safety Expert, Alison Rhodes, "The Safety Mom," is one
of the country's leading child safety authorities, providing tips and advice to
parents on a broad range of issues facing all children - newborns to teens.
Summer has officially arrived! The minute school closed my kids were standing by our door with their swimsuits on and beach towels in hand begging to start swimming. And as much as I love summer and the time we spend at the pool, I'm always on my guard with my kids when we're near the water -- with drowning as the 2nd leading cause of death in children between 1 and 14, the statistics are just too frightening not to be. While I never want my kids to be fearful of the water, I've taught them to be extra careful around the pool, and I make sure to provide a safe environment for them to enjoy the water.
How? It's critical to use a layered approach that combines safety devices like fences and door alarms with education and attentive, careful supervision. Here are 10 things you need to know to do the same:
Eyes Wide Open. In many drowning instances, one parent thought the other was watching the child. Have the parent or caregiver who is in charge wear a wrist band as a visual reminder that he is in charge. Also, if you're having a party, designate a second person to serve as your backup in case you're called away - and of course let that person know if you do have to step away.
Set an alarm. Install a pool door alarm to warn you if your child has opened any door, window or gate leading to the pool without an adult nearby. An alarm should also be placed in the water which will alert you to any disturbance on the water.
Toddler 101. As soon as your child is able to crawl towards a pool he should be taught "pool survival skills." Unlike a traditional swim class this is designed to teach your child how to navigate back to the wall of the pool or the ladder if he was to fall in. However, this does not mean that your child will do this in an actual emergency - it is merely one more safety layer!
Learn the Basics. Every caregiver should be certified in CPR and First Aid. Don't forget that refresher courses are also necessary as guidelines change.
Phone Home. Install a phone near the pool so you don't have to leave the area to answer a call, or, if there is an emergency, you'll already have a phone nearby.
Don't Float. Avoid using flotation devices, like floating swimwear and arm floats, as they can give your child - and you - a false sense of security.
Fence it Off. Install a removable mesh pool fence around the perimeter of your pool. It should be at least 4 feet high and create a complete barrier between the pool and the home. It also should include a self-closing and self-latching gate.
Keep it Clear. Remove anything such as riding toys, planters and benches your child could use for leverage to climb over a fence. This includes outdoor furniture like tables and lawn chairs. Also, never leave toys that may be enticing to a child near the pool.
Cover it Up. Install a power safety cover over the pool that meets established standards from the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM).
Lose the Ladder. For above ground pools, be sure steps and ladders leading to the pool are secured and locked, or even better, removed, when not in use.
Remember, these tips count for spas too! Like most things, once you establish good safety habits, they'll soon become part of your routine and your summer days will be filled with splashy, sunny, fun.

God created both us and our world in such a way that there is a certain fit or match between the world and our cognitive faculties. This is the adequation of the intellect to reality (adequation intellectus ad rem). The main premise to adequation intellectus ad rem is that there is an onto-relationship between our cognitive or intellectual faculties and reality that enables us to know something about the world, God, and ourselves.[1] This immanent rationality inherent to reality is not God, but it does cry aloud for God if only because the immanent rationality in nature does not provide us with any explanation of itself.[2]
In reality all entities are ontologically connected or interrelated in the field in which they are found. If this is true then the relation is the most significant thing to know regarding an object. Thus, to know entities as they actually are is to know what they are in their relation "webs". Thomas Torrance termed this as onto-relations, which points more to the entity or reality, as it is what it is as a result of its constitutive relations.[3]
The methodology of the epistemological realist concerns propositions of which are a posteriori, or "thinking after," the objective disclosure of reality. Thus, epistemology follows from ontology.

High school students give recycling presentation at Meijer Campus
Posted on July 24, 2013
High school students from throughout the Ottawa County area proposed a solution to help Grand Valley's Meijer Campus in Holland increase participation in its recycling program.
The students participated in IChallengeU, a two-week program designed for 11th- and 12th-graders to work directly with business partners to develop solutions to real-life challenges. ICU is administered by the Ottawa Area Intermediate School District.
The ICU students gave a presentation July 23 at the Meijer Campus. Lisa Miller, director of the Meijer Campus, said they not only addressed the recycling challenge but went beyond. The problem presented to students was to increase participation in the campus' triple bottom-line recycling program, and reduce waste contamination among guests and one-time users of the Meijer Campus.
"Their solution focused on telling why our program works, and its benefits," Miller said. "We now have beautiful posters to place above our existing recycling hubs. The students also developed a prototype of a portable recycling hub with larger bins, better signage, spaces designed for pizza boxes and a bin for liquids."
The Meijer Campus has made a commitment to sustainability and has initiated a triple bottom-line recycling program (social, economic and environmental) that involves Holland's New Life Recycling Center, part of the Holland Rescue Mission. Materials from the campus are sorted as part of the mission's job training program, and profits are used to support the mission.

PRINCESS ANNE, MD – (Sept. 2, 2010) – E.R. Braithwaite – physicist, social worker, U.N. ambassador – will receive an honorary degree Tuesday, Sept. 14, during the University of Maryland Eastern Shore's annual Founders' Week convocation.
Educator Lorenzo Hughes, a 1996 UMES graduate, will be the convocation's keynote speaker. Hughes is assistant superintendent for instruction in Dorchester County's public school system. The event begins 10 a.m. in the Ella Fitzgerald Performing Arts Center.
Braithwaite is best known for writing "To Sir, With Love," an autobiography of his experience teaching churlish teens at a private London school in the 1950s.
The book inspired a 1967 movie of the same name, starring Sidney Poitier, as well as the year's best-selling pop music song.
When visiting New York after the movie and song were released, Braithwaite said he "found it rather strange. Having all that attention thrust upon me was a bit disconcerting."
His UMES appearance coincides with the celebration of the university's founding in September 1886. Physical therapy students who have completed their studies will receive their doctoral degrees that day.
Braithwaite holds degrees from Queens College in his native Guyana, and Gonville and Caius College in Cambridge, England. He volunteered for the Royal Air Force, which he served as a fighter pilot during World War II.
He could not find work as a physicist after the war, so he turned to teaching and then social work – jobs where he encountered racism that motivated him to write about social conditions and struggles blacks faced.
Braithwaite visited South Africa in 1973 after it lifted a ban on his books. His six-week stay on a visa granting him "honorary white" status moved him to write "Honorary White," another seminal book on race relations.
"I believe the message in that book is still relevant today," Braithwaite said. "I would hope people who might pick it up and read it will agree."
Braithwaite, now 90, recently penned "Billingsly" – a children's story about "a little toy bear with a crinkled ear" that has had limited distribution. His goal was writing for young readers in a more sophisticated way.
Braithwaite's honorary degree from UMES will be his ninth.
"I am pleased to be recognized by the university. I am looking forward to coming and visiting the campus," he said. "I guess I see (the honorary degree) as an acknowledgement of the work I have done over the years."

In 2011, parts of South Carolina will experience a major emergence of 13-year periodical cicadas. These are the longest-lived insects in North America. In the1985 emergence, the adults began to emerge around April 21 in Saluda and Abbeville counties. Cold weather delayed emergence in 1998 and it was less spectacular than in 1985. Since 1998 the young cicadas have been below ground sucking sap from roots. We expect emergence in late April and early May.
The 13-year cicada is a southern form while the 17 year cicada tends to be a northern form. Two distinct broods of both forms occur in South Carolina. The 13-year cicadas emerging in 2011 are the most widely distributed brood. We show the known and suspected distribution in South Carolina in Figure 1. Emergence of large broods, as expected in 2011, is a striking event. Thousands of cicadas appear overnight and begin singing at dawn.
The adult cicada is about 1½ inch long. It has a stout black body with clear, membranous wings extending well beyond the body when at rest. The eyes, legs and wing veins are a reddish orange color (Fig. 2.). The wingless immature cicada (nymph) emerges from the soil at night, climbs a tree trunk or other vertical surface and sheds its skin (Fig 3.). A new winged adult leaves the hard, empty shell behind (Fig. 4.). By morning the wings have expanded and hardened and the cicada is free to move about. As many as 20,000 to 40,000 cicadas may emerge from the soil beneath one large tree.
Emergence usually takes place over a one to two week period. The adults can live for three weeks. Adult cicadas do not feed on the leaves, but may suck sap from tender twigs. The female's egg laying activity produces injury to trees and shrubs. The female's egg laying apparatus (ovipositor) is chisel like. She uses it to cut through the bark of twigs and make two rows of slits. They insert the eggs into these slits. In the process, they splinter the sapwood. Each slit will contain 24 to 48 eggs. Each female will make up to 20 of these slits and lay as many as 600 eggs during her life. The eggs hatch in six to seven weeks. The tiny ant-like young drop to the ground and burrow down to the roots where they remain for the next 13 years.
About 75 trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants are used for egg laying. Oak is a preferred host with hickory, apple, sweet gum highly favored. They can damage dogwood, blueberries, and azaleas as well. The leaves on damaged branches turn brown and the branch eventually falls to the ground. Smaller trees and shrubs can be severely damaged.
When populations are high, protecting trees and shrubs is difficult. Small trees and shrubs can be covered with cheese cloth or other fine netting that is securely fastened around the trunk. Carbaryl (Sevin) is an effective insecticide. Carbaryl should be mixed with water, according to label directions, and sprayed on the tree or shrub. Repeated applications will be needed. Follow all label instructions on number and frequency of applications allowed on the particular plant.

California WWII vet's lost medals going to NY brotherTHE Associated Press | November 02,2013AP PHOTO
In this undated family photo, Purple Heart recipient Staff Sgt. Robert Capper is shown while serving in Italy during World War II. Capper earned the medal while flying dozens of missions as a tail gunner aboard a B-17 bomber in Europe. The medal is being presented to Capper's brother today, a dozen years after the family lost the military decoration.ALBANY, N.Y. — John J. Capper Jr. was suspicious when he received a call from a stranger claiming to have the lost medals his brother had earned while flying 35 missions in Europe as a tail gunner in B-17 bombers.
"I thought it was a scam," Capper said of the September call from Zachariah Fike of Georgia, Vt., founder of Purple Hearts Reunited, a nonprofit organization that locates lost military medals and returns them to veterans or their families.
Capper will receive his brother Robert's Purple Heart, dog tags and other medals during a ceremony today at the American Legion Post in Clifton Park, north of Albany.
"I can't believe this is happening after all these years," said John Capper, an 83-year-old retired high school teacher and coach living in Clifton Park.
Robert Capper was on what would be his 35th and final mission when his Flying Fortress was shot down by German fighter planes in October 1944. The bomber crashed landed in the Adriatic Sea, but Capper and the rest of the crew survived. They got into life rafts and were later rescued.
After the war, Capper moved to California and worked for the Singer Sewing Machine Co.
Soon after Capper died in San Diego on Veterans Day 2011, John J. Capper said his nephews offered to send him the medals, but never did. He figured they had decided to keep them.
The medals made their way to Fran Carnes, of Sandy, Utah, who received them from a neighbor whose mother had them when she lived in California, Fike said.
Carnes contacted Fike, a captain in Vermont's Army National Guard and Purple Heart recipient for wounds suffered while serving in Afghanistan, who has overseen the return of more than 60 lost or stolen Purple Hearts since taking on the projects two years ago.
For Capper, the medals are a last link to a sibling he was very close to while growing up in Brooklyn's Bay Ridge section, despite a seven-year age difference.
"I'm really happy about it," he said.
John Capper said he intends to donate to the medals to the New York State Military Museum in nearby Saratoga Springs.MORE IN NewsNarration and audio production by RH Alcott Full StoryNarration and audio production by RH Alcott Full Story

Former Apple engineer: Jobs rejected new Apple TV UI
Over the weekend, former Apple engineer Mike Margolis made a statement on Twitter that sparked some controversy over whether Apple was losing its way without its late co-founder Steve Jobs. When responding to a comment from a user who liked the old Apple TV UI—on which Margolis worked—he stated that the "new designs were tossed out 5 years ago because [Steve Jobs] didn't like them. Now there is nobody to say 'no' to bad design." While most of the discussion has focused on his first comment, subsequent comments explained that the new design is a logical next step "given their desire to match the iOS home page", and that Jobs may have loved this new iOS-style grid. Margolis also added that the "new AppleTV UI excites me because it is just begging for apps - the old home screen UI was not app friendly/ready at all." Finally, speaking with TechCrunch, Margolis explains that the original grid designs made little sense in a world where the iPad didn't exist, people weren't used to app-grid interfaces, and there was little third-party content for the device to tap into.

Sixth-gen iPhone to boast LTE, arrive in Fall?
Apple's sixth-generation iPhone will arrive this Fall and will feature LTE networking, according to a new report. iMore reports that the device, which was recently rumored to feature a 4.6-inch screen, will instead feature a screen closer in size to the current version's 3.5-inch display, although it "could get a little bigger". In addition, the new handset is said to sport a micro-dock connector in place of Apple's long-running 30-pin port, and that it will launch sometime in the Fall, with an October 2012 release being the current target.
Songza adds Music Concierge
Amazon-backed streaming music service Songza Media has introduced a new Music Concierge feature in an update to its free app for the iPhone and iPod touch.

The application is completely free with no advertising or listening limits and users can also collect and share their favourite playlists via Facebook, Twitter or e-mail. Songza 1.3 requires iOS 4.1 or later and is available from the U.S. App Store as a free download.
Apple patent app points to iOS universal remote
A newly published Apple patent application suggests the company is working on universal remote control functionality for its iOS devices. Patently Apple reports that the new invention relates to a configurable remote control, or more specifically, an iPhone or similar device with IR transmission capabilities. According to the patent, users would be able to snap a photo of their current remote controls using the device; the photo would then be sent to iCloud for analysis, which would send back a "virtual copy" of the remote for use on the device's touchscreen. As with all Apple patents, this application does not necessarily represent any future product release from Apple, but offers evidence of the company's research and interest in this area.
Survey: AT&T, Verizon lead retail iPhone sales
According to a new survey, AT&T and Verizon account for more than half of all iPhones sold in U.S. Citing new data from the Consumer Intelligence Research Partners (CIRP), AllThingsD reports that AT&T sold 32 percent of all iPhones sold in the U.S. from December 2011 through February 2012, while Verizon accounted for 30 percent. Perhaps even more interesting is the fact that while Apple itself accounted for 15 percent of sales—11 percent through its retail stores and four percent online—Best Buy accounted for 13 percent, just two percent shy of Apple's numbers. Sprint accounted for seven percent of sales, while other outlets such as Walmart, Target, and Radio Shack accounted for just three percent.
"Apple Stores and the Apple Web site are tremendously productive, but they are limited by their relatively small retail footprint," CIRP's Josh Lowitz told AllThingsD. "There are four times as many Best Buy stores, and probably 20 times as many AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint stores, so aggressive distribution through all these channels is critical to Apple's U.S. strategy."
Congressmen seek privacy answers from app devs
Two members of the U.S. Congress have sent letters to a number of iOS developers seeking information about how they comply with Apple's privacy policies. The Next Web reports that House Energy & Commerce Committee Chairman Henry Waxman and Chairman Fred Upton sent letters to Tapbots, Twitter, Foodspotting, Turntable.fm,, Trover, Instagram's Burbn, Path, Facebook, SoundCloud, Apple, and others, asking—in addition to the question about privacy policies above—how they gather information from users and what they do with that information afterwards. The representatives has asked that the answers to the eight questions be delivered no later than April 12, 2012. The inquiry follows the discovery that social networking app Path, along with many other apps, was uploading iOS users' contact data to their servers; Path immediately issued an apology, and Apple soon vowed to require user approval for access to contact data.

Apple announced that it sold three million third-generation iPad units in four days earlier this week.
URL spoofing vulnerability found in iOS 5.1
A new security vulnerability has been found in Safari on iOS 5.1. Citing security advisories from MajorSecurity as well as the Dutch Ministry of Security and Justice, Your Daily Mac reports that the vulnerability allows for the possibility that the URL of the site a user is looking at does not match what is in the address bar. According to the report, the JavaScript command 'window.open()' is at the heart of the issue—while the opening of a new window is apparent on desktop operating systems and Android devices, it is considerably less so in the latest version of mobile Safari. The report suggests that while the vulnerability has been tested with iOS 5.1, it is possible—likely, even—that it exists in Safari on older versions of the operating system. [via The Next Web | Mac Rumors]
Third-gen iPad Smart Cover woes blamed on polarity
A new report suggests that the third-generation iPad's incompatibility is due to a change in the sensor used to sense magnets and not due to a change in placement or some other matter. Blogger Mark Booth claims that Apple is using a new design of sleep/wake sensor in the third-gen iPad that is sensitive to polarity, and that cases which appear not to work with the new model are simply built with the incorrect polarity. In addition, Booth claims that Apple made the change due to complaints from some iPad 2 customers who found that their iPads would go to sleep simply from folding the Smart Cover flat behind the device. According to Booth, Apple modified the design specifications of its Smart Covers sometime in 2011, giving the updated units new model numbers, and fixing the accidental activation problem. For more information, see our Backstage article on the subject. [via The Verge]
SugarSync 3.0 debuts redesigned iPad UI
SugarSync has released a major update to its universal iOS client adding a completely redesigned interface for iPad users. SugarSync is a cloud-based storage and synchronization service that allows users to easily sync their files and folders across multiple computers and mobile devices including the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch with the free, universal iOS app. With SugarSync 3.0 the iPad interface has been completely redesigned to provide better use of the larger screen both for the display of information as well as new drag-and-swipe navigation for commonly used features.
With version 3.0 on the iPad, devices and shared folders are now displayed in a permanent sidebar at the left of the screen along with mobile photos and videos, web archives, recent documents, the Magic Briefcase and more. A sliding and stacking panels interface allows users to more effectively navigate into their folder structures while viewing multiple folders at once, providing quick access to other folders and the persistent top-level sidebar at the left; users can use drag and swipe gestures to move the stacked panels in order keep track of current and related folders as they navigate the file system and view individual files. SugarSync 3.0 is a universal app and is available from the App Store as a free download.
Third-gen iPad charges past 100%, raising meter/battery questions
Continuing to look into display- and battery-related questions surrounding the third-generation iPad, DisplayMate has found some noteworthy battery charging-related oddities. In an email exchange with iLounge, DisplayMate President Ray Soneira indicated that the third-generation iPad—when connected to power via the included Apple 10W Power Adapter—actually continued to draw 10W of power for up to one hour after reaching what is reported by iOS as a full 100% charge. In iLounge's testing, the new iPad switches from a lightning bolt ("still charging") to plug ("done charging") battery icon 5 to 10 minutes after reaching 100%; Soneira confirmed that the iPad still charges even when it claims to have been filled.
Notably, iLounge found unusual, non-linear reported battery drain during our numerous battery tests, with the third-generation iPad sometimes reporting a battery loss of just two percent over the first hour of testing, then averaging 10% of loss each hour afterwards while performing the same tasks. It is unclear at this point whether Apple has taken certain liberties when reporting battery levels to give the impression of faster charging and slower loss—similar to its prior treatment of cellular signal levels for iPhones, an issue remedied shortly after the iPhone 4 was released—or if there is some other explanation for the observed battery charging and discharging behavior.
Sprint CEO Hesse: iPhone users 'more profitable'
Speaking in an interview Mobile World Live, Sprint CEO Dan Hesse defended the company's decision to begin offering the iPhone. Discussing the initiative, Hesse said that the company's first quarter of iPhone sales surpassed the company's expectations, with 4 out of every 10 iPhones sold going to new customers, a figure that Hesse claimed was roughly double the rate of competitors. In addition, Hesse said that iPhone customers were less susceptible to churn, and actually use less data than users of high-end 4G Android devices. As a result, Hesse claimed that iPhone customers were actually "more profitable" than the average smartphone customer brought on to the network. Sprint launched the iPhone on its network last October. [via BGR]
Ambrosia seeks iToner 3 beta testers

According to the company, iToner 3 has been completely rewritten and redesigned, and offers a number new features including compatibility with any version of iTunes, the ability to work with multiple iPhones, compatibility with the iPad 2 and third-generation iPad for notification tones, a new waveform editor, and the ability to grab audio clips directly from an iTunes library. While the company says that, should it be approved, iToner 3 will be available on the Mac App Store soon, it also said that it "could use your help", and offers a link for those interested in beta testing. Pricing for iToner 3 has yet to be announced.
IMDB improves showtimes, adds high-res iPad graphics
The IMDb Movies & TV app has been updated with new features allowing users to track their favourite theatres for movie listings and improvements to movie & TV show pages. IMDb 2.6 now allows users to set their favourite theatres in the Showtimes section to quickly and easily see what's playing in their preferred locations and provides an updated IMDB rating and Metacritic display for movie and TV show titles. The new version also includes access to the latest red carpet & premiere photos and provides new high-resolution graphics for the third-generation iPad Retina Display. IMDb Movies & TV 2.6 is a universal app requiring iOS 4.2 or later and is available from the App Store as a free download.
ReaddleDocs 3.1 adds new UI, improved file support
Readdle has updated ReaddleDocs for the iPhone and iPod touch with a completely redesigned user interface and numerous additional new features and enhancements. ReaddleDocs 3.1 adds a virtual folder to provide access to recently opened files along with a separate iCloud tab and Mail and Network tabs now combined into a single integrated view. The update also makes several file viewing improvements, including better speed and stability in the PDF and TXT viewers and in-document search for Microsoft Office, TXT and RTF files. Underline and strikeout annotations are also now available for PDF files and new bookmarks are saved inside PDF outlines. The integrated MP3 player now also provides new features including playlist and background audio support. Numerous improvements have also been made to the built-in browser and file services protocols including support for syncing with FTP/SFTP servers and using private key authentication with SFTP servers. The latest version also adds support for iOS Data Protection providing on-device encryption for sensitive files when the iOS device is protected with a passcode lock. ReaddleDocs 3.1 requires iOS 4.3 or later and is available from the App Store for $5.
iPhoto for iOS passes 1 million downloads
Apple has revealed that its new iPhoto app for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch hit the one million user mark less than 10 days after its release. Without quoting any particular representative of the company, The Loop reports that the number is based on individual users, and not downloads, which could inflate the figure. Apple introduced iPhoto for iOS during its special media event earlier this month; the app became available that same day. For more information on iPhoto for iOS, see our full review.
Siri gains Yelp app integration under iOS 5.1
As noted on the Yelp Official Blog, Siri now takes users directly to Yelp when tapping on a business listing. According to the post, Siri wouldn't take you directly to Yelp when tapping on a listing prior to iOS 5.1, but with the new release, Apple updated the functionality. Now, tapping on a business recommendation takes you straight into the Yelp app, and to that business' profile page. Apple did not publicize the new feature in the release notes for iOS 5.1, instead highlighting the addition of Japanese language support to the virtual assistant.
WSJ: Limited plan users find LTE iPads eat more data
A new report suggests that some third-generation iPad owners are finding their LTE connections help highlight the limited nature of their data plans. The Wall Street Journal reports that a number of users have already burned through their monthly data allotments just days after receiving their new device. Streaming video is given primary blame for the issue, but should be expected by users; since LTE can deliver data speeds similar to—if not faster than—home Wi-Fi, content providers are streaming higher-quality videos to the devices, which in turn uses more data. Confusing matters further is AT&T's decision to label its HSPA+ network "4G", as videos delivered over that network still arrive in a highly compressed, 3G-ready form. As noted in the report, AT&T is considering a plan through which app developers and content providers would cover the bill for customers' data usage; the charges would likely be passed on to the consumer in the form of advertising or in-app subscriptions.

Veteran Pittsford official will step downBy Bruce Edwards
STAFF WRITER | April 18,2014PITTSFORD Longtime town official Allen Hitchcock will step down from the Select Board in June.
Hitchcock made the announcement at Wednesdays regularly scheduled meeting. He cited medical issues as the reason.
Hitchcock, who did not plan to run for re-election next year, said he would step down on June 30 at the end of the fiscal year.
You can start looking for my replacement, he said.
Hank Pelkey, who took over from Hitchcock as chairman last month, praised Hitchcock for his service to the community.
We will certainly miss your expertise and common sense, Pelkey said.
Hitchcock, who turned 87 in February, was elected to the board in 2003. He has also served on the Water and Sewer Commission for 10 years and the board of Otter Valley Union High School.
I certainly think hes been one of the giants on the board in the sense of good judgment, very keen intellect and solid life experience in the business world, Town Manager John Haverstock said Thursday. So I think all of that has made him a very valuable member of the Select Board and the Water and Sewer Commission.
A Pittsford native, Hitchcock served as a second lieutenant in the 11th Airborne Division during World War II. He graduated from the University of Vermont in 1952 with a degree in agricultural engineering. After teaching at UVM for a year, he spent five years with General Electric as a design engineer and then worked 24 years at Xerox, where he was director of technical service.
Hitchcock retired to his farm in New York before returning to his hometown. His farming expertise garnered him recognition for his work in conservation farming. He has been credited with rebuilding the dearly defunct Vermont Beef Producers Association and reinvigorating local cattle sales.
Two years ago the town report was dedicated to Hitchcock and the late Bernard McMahon Jr., who served as a volunteer firefighter for 34 years.
Since returning to Pittsford in 1988, Allen has participated vigorously in its public life. He has worked nine years as chair of the Otter Valley Union High School Board where he was an advocate of innovation, the report read. He has served for five years so far on Pittsfords Select Board, where he has balanced the need to economize with the desire to improve town services.

The horses stand at the gate.
"Where have you been?" ask their eyes and ears.
"I've been writing."
"What's that?"
"It's my art of arranging words — the sounds you hear me think to express the ramblings of my mind — so many other humans may know them."
"Primitive!" they say with a twist of lips and narrowed eyes.
"Humans aren't horses," I remind. "We're a relatively new species, still trying to figure things out."
The thought "too much figuring" takes form within, as I catch my mare's mischievous grin and glint of eye.
[From the book "Touching Horses: Communication, Health and Healing through Acupressure," by Marion Kaselle, J.A. Allen & Co. Ltd., London, 1995.]
