Jun 12, 2013 - By Katie Roenigk, Staff WriterAdministrators at Central Wyoming College have reached out to Fremont County public schools this year in an effort to improve college readiness among local students.
CWC president Jo Anne McFarland said all of Fremont County's K-12 superintendents have agreed to partner with the college to establish the Fremont County Transitional Alignment Task Force, which met for the first time in May.
"The purpose of this coalition of diverse Wyoming public school districts is to better align common core standards, expectations and testing between K-12 (schools) and CWC with the intent of creating an open dialogue," McFarland said in April.
Jason Wood, CWC's executive vice president for student and academic services, said the task force will develop a model that helps high school students transition to college without relying solely on placement tests to determine their success.
"How can our faculty and high school teachers work together ... so what they're doing lines up with what we're doing?" Wood said in May.
He talked about special exams and curricular alignment work as well as grade point average and transcript analysis. Wood also suggested extending CWC's summer boot camp to provide "just-in-time" instruction immediately before students take college placement tests.
"A lot of those initiatives will come out, but it will be a collaborative process," Wood said. "Every district will be represented."
He emphasized that faculty and teachers will be a big part of the process as the task force develops.
"They're the ones in the classroom working on learning," Wood said. "They know what students can do."
Faculty president Matt Herrwondered when CWC's instructors would find time to meet with teachers at districts throughout the county. He said he has spoken with CWC Board of Trustees member Nicole Schoening about working withFremont County Board of Cooperative Higher Educational Services to help facilitate the process.
Schoening, an employee of Fremont County School District 25, suggested the college also could look at the "professional learning community" format initiated this year in Riverton schools, where employees have been meeting weekly to discuss the state's new common core standards.
"We're having a lot of these conversations about continuity in K-12," Schoening said. "The high school works with middle school staff, and eventually the middle school staff will work with elementary staff. (We could) continue that dialogue further to this setting as well."
State model
Wood said the goal, ideally, would be to develop a statewide model for student success that could be presented to the Wyoming Legislature.
"We're looking to establish best practices in Wyoming," Wood said.
Charlie Krebs, chairman of the CWC Board of Trustees, agreed, commending college staff for contacting the school districts.
"You have to work with them, and they have to work with us," Krebs said.
Board member Roger Gose expressed hope that the task force would be productive.
"I think this potentially bears a great deal of fruit, good things to happen in the future," Gose said. "It translates ultimately into completion."
The effort also should help reduce the need for developmental courses at CWC, Wood said.

Environmentalism as Religion
Posted by Einzige at 11/23/2005 12:28:00 PM
Crichton isn't a reputable source on global warming.
If you're going to deny that there is global warming attributable to human activity, you've got quite a lot of peer-reviewed scientific literature to rebut:
Oh, and you should check out Chris Mooney's review of Crichton's latest book:
I just found it an interesting essay, is all.
I'm an agnostic when it comes to global warming.
Very fascinating article. I just hope people don't interpret Crichton's article as permission to act irresponsibly and let the scientists take care of the mess. There is no doubt that we as humans have the capacity to create positive changes environmentally during our time here and much of it is a matter of making minor adjustments to our lives. Responsibility and a general sense of empathy for the lives of others (including other species) doesn't have to be classified as religion. There will always be backlashes,cynnicsm, and even spite towards those who attempt positive change and though Crichton's article makes a lot of sense, at the same time it seems like he's saying the common joe on the street trying to make some positive change (environmentally) should stay out of it(as if he/she wouldn't know any better) and leave such matters to the guys in the labs. It almost reeks of elitism. As for the future of human-kind, I think we're generally hard-wired to want to survive and persist and it's natural for many people to reach a state of awareness and want to take some kind of action to preserve our future. It's really not a matter of preserving the Earth itself. It's no new tale, whether or not the human race survives in the not-so-distant future, the planet will keep on spinning and new life forms and species will come and go. As I've stated before, on the timeline of our planet's natural history, human-kind's mark is a mere speck. Achieving the same lasting status as the dinosaurs has yet to be seen (and that raises a whole other topic concerning our evolution--what will we evolve to/as if we are around long enough?).

Publication information
From the Ancestry.com database description:
"The Family Data Collection - Births database was created while gathering genealogical data for use in the study of human genetics and disease. Compiling data for genetic research does not require the same type of documentation as traditional genealogical research. The genes themselves verify relationships and qualify or disqualify a person from a particular study. Citing the source of every genealogical fact in the electronic gene pool was deemed unnecessary and cost prohibitive by medical researchers. Millions of individual records were created from birth, marriage and death records; obituaries; probate records; books of remembrance; family histories; genealogies; family group sheets; pedigree charts; and other sources. The records collected that did not fit a specific study became the project's by-products and were schedule to be discarded. After viewing the quality of the source material used to create the gene pool and despite the absence of cited documentation, the electronic rights to the data were purchased, rather than see it destroyed.
After initially posting the Family Data Collection database in July of 2000, it was decided to divide the database into three separate collections of Births, Marriages and Deaths. By so doing it was possible to standardize place names and delete duplicates. This process also allowed us to add some additional records that were not included in the first launch of the database. This data covers the entire U.S. for a wide expanse of years. At a minimum, each record contains an individual's name, date and place of event, and the name of related parties."

'Orange Is The New Black' Sets Release Date for Season 2
As a popular Netflix original series, 'Orange Is The New Black' has thrilled its viewers by setting a season 2 release date for all episodes in June of this year.
The series is based upon the life of Piper Chapman, but it just so happens that Chapman's life in the series is spent in prison. As a woman in her thirties, Chapman was sentenced to 15 months in prison for a crime committed more than 10 years ago.
As the star of the show, Taylor Schilling plays the role of Chapman. But she's no unfamiliar face, you may recognize her from her roles in 'Argo' or 'The Lucky One.' And you may be surprised to see a few other familiar faces in the show as well!
If you're intrigued by the idea of the show now, check out a trailer below. But be warned, the trailer is a little raunchy, so watch at your own discretion.

The Financial Reporting Council (FRC) has closed an investigation into the conduct of convicted fraudster Christopher Moore, a former member of the ACCA and executive chairman of failed cash register software company Torex Retail.
The council, which launched the investigation back in December 2013, found there was "insufficient evidence of misconduct" during the period in which Moore was a member.
It was therefore subject to the FRC's Accountancy Scheme to give a realistic prospect that a tribunal would make an adverse finding against Moore.
Consequently no further action has been taken and the case in relation to him is closed.
In January last year Moore pleaded guilty along with former chairman Robert Loosemore to conspiring to defraud the company's shareholders by falsely inflating by £6.5m the cash at bank/revenue figures of the company's interim results published on 14 August 2006.
The pair created a false distribution agreement worth £5m between Torex and Loosemore's private firm Magdalen Consulting, along with a goodwill deposit agreement worth £1.5m between Torex and Loosemore.
Moore was jailed for 30 months with £100,000 costs for the deception, while Loosemore received 20 months and a £50,000 fine.
Mark Woodbridge, a lower level financial accountant within the group, also went on trial in June last year and was found guilty of conspiring with the other two defendants to defraud shareholders in late 2006 and early 2007 by creating a further variation to the bogus distribution agreement with Magdalen Consulting to sustain the original fraud.
Woodbridge was acquitted on two charges of false accounting, but convicted on a third of causing revenue of £2m to be falsely recognised in the company's interim financial statement in August 2006.
He was jailed for three years and 10 months, disqualified from acting as a company director for three years and ordered to pay costs of £170,000.
Torex went into administration in 2007 and a Serious Fraud Office (SFO) investigation was launched the same year.
The probe initially focused on Torex FD Christopher Ford and CTO Edwin Dayan of its subsidiary Xn Checkout, who were charged with conspiracy to defraud, false accounting and misleading an auditor between March and July 2006.

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
Actually other than it being unsanitary, any major concerns such as HIV or any disease, etc would be none as any type of virus doesn't like long once airborne or if it's not in it's natural environment. Brushing teeth and rinsing mouth is about all you can do. Plus most of these diseases do require direct blood to blood contact or skin to skin contact.
So at this point don't stress over this and maybe do a quick look just to make sure this wouldn't occur again. Unless he/she can remember not to do this again.
Hope this helps, If you need anything else please feel free to ask. If you found this helpful don't forget to click the *ACCEPT* button and please take a moment to leave me *POSITIVE* feedback.

Report illegal alcohol sales
Alcohol and Tobacco Control agents recently went into "The Keg", located on McKinley Street in Lafayette, to conduct a compliance inspection. After receiving information that the establishment was allowing kids under the age of 18 on the premises, as well as selling alcohol to them, ATC sent in undercover operatives to verify these complaints.
As a result of the investigation, "The Keg" was officially cited for three alcohol sales to persons 17 years old; two alcohol sales to persons under the age of 21; three minors allowed on premises; and four minors in possession of alcohol were written criminal citations.
Specifically, agents observed a person under the age of 18 on the premises on April 11; observed three persons under the age of 18 on the premises on April 18, including a 16-year-old; and observed employees of the business sell or serve three alcoholic beverages to persons under the age of 18 and two alcoholic beverages to persons under the age of 21. On April 18, agents also observed four minors in possession of alcohol on the premises.
Less than four months ago, "The Keg" had their alcohol permit suspended and received a fine of $10,000 for their fourth offense of alcohol sales to a minor. As a result, they signed a consent agreement with ATC to try and improve their compliance record. The latest violations directly breached the agreement. ATC Commissioner Troy Hebert will now conduct a special hearing at ATC headquarters in Baton Rouge in the upcoming weeks to decide the fate of the business' alcohol permit.
Until then, the alcohol permit for "The Keg" will remain suspended.
With that said, ATC reminds all area businesses that it's a "privilege" to sell alcohol – not a "right".
ATC will revoke that privilege from any business who threatens the public health and safety of citizens by selling and serving alcohol irresponsibly, they further warned.
The public is encouraged to help ATC maintain the integrity of Louisiana's alcoholic beverage and tobacco industries by notifying them of any violations. Concerned citizens can contact the ATC through their anonymous complaint line at (225)925-4070 or via email, firstname.lastname@example.com.

'I would like to have another baby myself but if it happens I'll be thrilled,' says the 'American Idol' judge who is adamant there won't be an additional member to her family any time soon.
Jennifer Lopez has dismissed reports she is planning to adopt a child, insisting she and husband Marc Anthony want more kids of their own. The singer/actress became a mum to twins Max and Emme in February 2008, and recent rumors suggested the couple was looking to add to its brood by adopting.
But Lopez has now spoken out to deny the claims - and she's adamant a brother or sister for her twins is not likely to arrive any time soon. Asked about the adoption rumors, she tells Britain's Fabulous magazine, "No, no. That's not true. I would like to have another baby myself, actually. If it happens I'll be thrilled. But we're not trying."
Lopez married Anthony in a quiet home wedding on June 5, 2004. In early November 2007, she ended months of speculation over her pregnancy when she confirmed she and Anthony were indeed expecting. On February 22 the next year, she gave birth to their fraternal twins.

|Baby Onboard
Part 2: The solution was—and still is—perfect.
By Diane M. Byrne — September 2002
The car seat was a lifesaver (imagine trying to cradle a newborn in your arms for a few hours on a moving boat while simultaneously balancing yourself), but there was no way to secure it the way it's done in a car. So Koeppel turned to Bob Fay, Dan and Pat Schmidt, Pat Canary, and the rest of the Davison's Boatyard crew in East Rockaway, New York, for help. He'd known many of them on a personal level for years, and the yard had always maintained and winterized his boats. No one asked him why he didn't just leave the baby at home with a sitter; in fact, Fay, who's a father himself, says his initial reaction was, "It's common-sense stuff."
The solution was—and still is—perfect. Seatbelt-like fastenings on the flying bridge's benchseats let Koeppel keep an eye on Harrison while he's driving and keeps Harrison (a.k.a. "Mr. Trouble") from wandering or falling into danger. The fastenings clip into Harrison's car seat just like a vehicle's seatbelts do, and because they're located on both sides of the flying bridge, the car seat can be relocated if the sun is too intense. Sahara's design integrity stays intact, since the straps tuck away between the benchseat cushions when not in use.
The Davison's crew welcomed the chance to create more babyproofing solutions with Koeppel. For example, Fay conceived an extra canvas-and-EZ2CY partition for the flying bridge that would prevent Harrison from accidentally slipping through the space between the conventional enclosure and the first rung of the ladder. Fay, Canary, and the folks from EZ2CY designed the panel to zip around the top of the handrails and the opening above the first step. Just like the car seat fasteners, the partition is easily stowed away when Harrison isn't aboard.
Other modifications took a bit more design ingenuity and expert joinerwork. Koeppel wanted a way to put his son down for a nap that wouldn't require either him or his wife to stand watch over Harrison to prevent him from being tossed out of bed by a wave. Canary devised a makeshift crib from the lower bunk in the forward cabin. After building up the outer edge of the berth with a few inches of wood, varnished to match the original, Canary attached a standard crib panel that when raised meets the lower edge of the top bunk. Better yet, Canary attached it with just three screws, making it simple to remove when Harrison gets older and therefore having minimal impact on the original berth. There's also padding along the outer bulkhead to replicate a traditional crib bumper pad.
Another safety modification by Canary that had minimal impact was the creation of a safety gate for the steps leading from the saloon to the galley and staterooms. Harrison began walking at age 11 months and discovered the joy of stairs four months later, so the steps presented a world of temptations. Canary installed two pieces of wood molding on either side of the companionway that blend with the overall decor. A solid white panel slides into tracks down the center of the molding, looking like it's another part of the traditional nautical design and effectively keeping Harrison from getting underfoot.

On buses passes
Free bus travel for the over 60's is great if the government was to fund it properly. In Hampshire we have had our services cut and the fares go up. As a result you cannot get a bus after 8.00pm during the week and at weekends. I think that the old half fares system should be reinstated so that the bus companies can afford to reinstate the axed services.
Steve, England
As a fare-paying bus passenger living in a rural area and paying a minimum of £3.50 per trip, I am frequently irked by often having to stand, laden down with shopping, because the buses are full of over-60s travelling for free. I know of several people in my village who drive to the bus stop in their expensive cars (I can't afford a car) in order to take advantage of this free service. I don't object to them having free travel, but surely the people who pay the going rate and keep the bus companies in business, should be given priority.
Chris, UK
Your programme today highlights the over 60's who are eligible for a free bus pass. This isn't the real problem as buses are usually empty anyway and they still have to run. What is a problem is the list of over 60s you displayed on the bus sign are eligible for a £200 winter fuel payment when in fact many of them are very well off.
Mike Hayward, Havant Hants
This is absolutely absurd. How many people over 60 would you think did Kendo, or went parasailig or dashing off to the Caribbean? Most elderly people I know really appreciate their bus pass which enables them to make (mostly) very short journeys, perhaps to the next town, to see their grandchildren. My own mother and father I remember, were in a council flat, both ill and on benefits and really enjoyed a Sunday afternoon trip to the countryside on (rare) summer afternoons or weekly to see friends at a local club. We do not do enough to care for our elderly and the bus pass enables them to sustain activity.

On eco-towns
Eco -Town is a contradiction in terms. Caroline Flint is being inexact when she states that eco-town planning will be decided at local level. The developers are invariably supported by planning inspectors who regularly overturn decisions made by local members who understand their local communities. The inspectorate is the problem and be assured, the developers will get their own way because the Government is in hock to them.
Pamela Booker, England
Why no questioning of the premise "we all agree we need more houses"?
No we don't. We need fewer people/households.
How can you have a housing policy without a population policy?
Michael Bright
Oh dear, Ms Flint!!! Do try to address your electorate in the Queen's English, rather than in Labour jargon ....may I suggest 'increase' instead of 'ratchet up', 'Labour quangos' instead of 'national organisations' and 'lots of individuals with different ideas' instead of 'community'? I honestly believe that the Labour Party sees people as monochrome blocks of living matter/ collective statistics rather than human beings who don't necessarily want to live in imposed colonies, eco-friendly or not! Actually I do wonder how much knowledge Caroline Flint has about the following: civil engineering/ construction/ rural matters ....real life?

General News of Friday, 10 August 2012
Source: Daily Guide
The Head Pastor of the Synagogue Church of All Nations SCON) in Nigeria and a personal friend of late President John Evans Atta Mills, Prophet T.B Joshua, has waded into the debate of whether or not the cause of death of the former president should be made public.
According to the prophet, "calling for the cause of what killed our father is not necessary, it is absolutely not necessary. What do we need that for?"
This topic surfaced moments after President Mills died at the 37 Military Hospital two weeks ago, and has been sustained by some pressure groups like the Alliance for Accountable Governance (AFAG), who are calling for a suspension of the funeral of the late president until the cause of his death is established and made public.
However, the government has given clear indications that pursuing the issue was tantamount to invading the privacy of the late president and his family, adding that the decision lies in the hands of the immediate family of Professor Mills.
Speaking at the residence of the late President after praying for former First Lady Naadu Mills, the popular Nigerian religious leader indicated that Ghanaians and Africans at large should celebrate the life of Professor Mills instead of mourning him and feeling sad about his passing.
Prophet Joshua arrived in Ghana on Tuesday in his private jet.
But reports say the former President bled to death.
According the autopsy report gleaned by DAILY GUIDE, there are strong indications that former Atta Mills choked on his own blood after suffering a rupture of a major blood vessel at a time when there was nobody by his side to render a helping hand or even engage medical assistance when the danger signs were manifesting.
The report DAILY GUIDE chanced upon revealed that the remote cause of death, which has been in the public domain for a long time yet disputed by the deceased's handlers, is throat cancer. The immediate cause of death however has been attributed to the choking resulting from the ruptured blood vessel.
The cancerous growth, according to the report, spread to his sinuses, that is the cavity of the nasal passage, which perhaps accounted for his altered voice in his last days.
The autopsy report explained that the tumor or growth ruptured his carotid artery, a major blood vessel, so he bled profusely and with no assistance at the time, suffocated, unable to breath, which is what was referred to by those who set eyes on him when he was brought to the military hospital on that fateful day.
The loss of blood from his nostrils led those agitating for a post mortem to suspect poisoning because in their estimation, bleeding as he did is consistent with the symptoms of poisoning.
The report also showed that the late president died before reaching the military hospital some two hours earlier, a revelation which further throws a question about the veracity of previous reports about whether he died at the hospital or at the Castle.
The report has provided more grounds for those agitating for a post mortem to proceed with their demands.
Why was the deceased left unattended to when it was obvious that he was suffering from obviously a terminal ailment and so could not be left alone without attention?
The report brings to the fore once more the inconsistencies regarding where the late president died.

Following a controversial decision by Samoa Air to charge passengers according to their weight, we investigate whether a "fat tax" could become mainstream practice.
Imagine this: next time you book a plane ticket, you might have to pay according to how much you weigh. That's if a controversial proposal circulating the airline community ever becomes mainstream practice.
Earlier this month Samoa Air made headlines for becoming the first carrier to charge passengers according to their weight. The small South Pacific carrier, which flies mostly domestic routes, charges passengers between 2.12 Samoa tala and 2.41 Samoa tala per kilogram, depending on flight length.
Its policy coincided with the publication of a report by Norwegian economist Dr Bharat Bhatta of Sogn og Fjordane University College, that suggests that airlines should charge obese passengers more.
The reasoning behind the so-called "fat tax" is that jet fuel, the price of which has skyrocketed in recent years, comprises the single largest cost for all major airlines. And one of the biggest gas-guzzling factors is in-flight weight. As both jet fuel prices and average weight have increased over the last few decades, airlines are largely stuck paying the price.
As such, the industry is buzzing about whether it can recoup costs by charging passengers according to weight. It's a move that would reward surprise winners – women, families travelling with children, shorter people – and penalise others, including tall men, and of course, obese passengers.
However, according to industry experts, it's unlikely that this controversial policy will become standard practice.
For starters, the practice poses a logistical problem. Airlines would need to keep scales at ticketing counters and weigh customers at check-in, a procedural change that would require extra time and personnel, likely causing delays. Airlines would also need to factor passenger weight into their ticket pricing schemes, which would make an already-complex algorithm even more complicated.
"It would be a logistical nightmare," said George Hobica, founder of Airfarewatchdog.com, a low airfare alert website. "It wouldn't be cost effective."
Perhaps more importantly however, the policy would face certain resistance among outraged flyers, some of whom would likely be irate enough to boycott any airlines that took up such a practice. Things could get even uglier if the move spawned legal problems, with some passengers likely to sue for discrimination, possibly under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
So why did Samoa Air get away with the move? Hobica suggested it was successful because the South Pacific carrier is a very small, regional airline that typically carries fewer than 30 people per flight, making weigh-ins logistically possible. Customers of this airline also have few, if any, other flight options, making Samoa Air well poised to adopt the policy.
"Perhaps a very small airline, such as [Wyoming-based] Great Lakes Aviation or [New England-based] Cape Air, could make it work," said Hobica. Nonetheless, he added, "I think we'll see airlines charging by the pound for bags, as they already do for cargo, before we see them charging by the pound for passengers."

Can't make a rug list without Angela Adams!
I've been a big fan of Angela Adam's rugs since she first blessed modern homes with her carved and raised wool rugs. What began with the Kenga and the Munjoy, has turned into a staple for modern homes and designers everywhere. She now makes many sizes and some less expensive versions in cotton for the kitchen or laundry room. And has some new designs out like the Fern.


text: Works exhibited on the first floor of the Collège des Jésuites – installed in 1630 in the city palace of the Bishop of Maguelone – illustrate the tensions that characterised French painting in the 1830s and 1840s. The art world was torn between the classical aspirations of Ingres or Cabanel, and the expressive emotionalism of the Romantics (Delacroix, Géricault...); between the advocates of a polished technique based on precision drawing, and the free use of colour as a medium of passionate emotional expression; between ancient and modern history (Monvoisin); between the depiction of the European world, and an idealised vision of the Orient. Landscape painting underwent a significant period of renewal, and was itself divided between a taste for the picturesque (Richard, Danvin), and the expression of a new, humanised, poetic sensitivity to nature (Corot, Rousseau). These diverse trends are especially apparent in the collection of Alfred Bruyas (1821-1876), a wealthy, passionate collector who devoted his life and fortune to patronising the art of his day, and the assembling of a truly unique collection of works1, which he ultimately bequeathed to the Musée Fabre, in his native city of Montpellier.

Moratuwa - Hashim Amla struck the first century of the tour, as South Africa amassed 297 for nine in their warm-up match against a Board President's XI in Moratuwa on Thursday.
Amla stroked a masterful 104 off just 79 balls, before he retired, spanking 16 fours and a six off his final ball to reach three figures. The South African Test captain started with caution, as the new ball swung on a slow deck, but once he found his rhythm, he punched several, trademark boundaries around the former international venue.
Quinton de Kock struggled to get the pace of the wicket, and was leg-before for 18. Once he fell, Amla found a willing ally in Faf du Plessis. The Titans man was promoted to number three after Jacques Kallis pulled out of the match with a stiff back.
Du Plessis spent a valuable hour at the crease, compiling a workmanlike 41 off 55 balls, before he mistimed a pull to mid-on. A busy AB de Villiers then delivered an entertaining cameo, smashing 41 off just 27 balls, before surprisingly retiring with plenty of overs to spare.
The retirements of Amla and De Villiers saw South Africa lose some of their momentum, but JP Duminy again added gloss to the innings, with a well-paced 54 off 56 balls, as the tourists posted an encouraging 297 for nine.
The tourists will look to give all the bowlers in the squad a spell in the middle, as they build up to Sunday's opening one-dayer in Colombo.

YOUNG shoppers had plenty of food for thought when they dropped in at their local supermarket.
For rather than filling the trolley with items from the shelves, youngsters found out where their food comes from as well as learning that there was more to fruit than apples and pears — and that veg is not just brussels sprouts.
Pupils from St Peter's CE Primary School in Farnworth took part in the Tesco Eat Happy Project's the Farm to Fork programme to enthuse children about food to promote healthy eating.
They found themselves enjoying a tour of the Farnworth store and saw what happens behind the scenes.
Dave Eglinton, community champion at Tesco Farnworth, said: "The children are so excited when they come into store to take part.
"It is aimed at primary school children to educate them about where their food comes from, the different food groups, such as the different types of fish, bread and vegetables available. They get to handle and taste different foods."
Year Three eco-teacher Kath Bailey said: "Three classes have taken part in the Farm to Fork workshops so far, with the possibility of more Key Stage One classes getting involved.
"The children in Year Three thoroughly enjoyed the tour, particularly visiting the warehouse, as this is an area of the store which they had never seen before.
"Some of the children tried pepper bread and prawns for the very first time. They also saw where all the recycling materials are stored, ready for collection.
"The workshop was extremely enjoyable, and the children were all given a goodie bag to take home. We were also given melons and pineapples to take back to school, which we ate later that afternoon."
The visits are free and schools interested in taking part can leave a message with customer services at the store or visit eathappyproject.com
