University of Wisconsin - Green Bay
Environmental Science and Policy. M. S.
Each student's prior academic background is evaluated by a program admissions committee when he or she applies. Admission to the Environmental Science and Policy graduate program requires a student to have completed the equivalent of a basic undergraduate course in statistics and submitted current GRE general test scores. Students with a background in both policy and science will be given preference in admission decisions. Each area of emphasis requires different skills and preparation; therefore, additional prerequisites vary. Students who pursue the Ecosystems Studies area of emphasis are expected to have completed biology courses beyond introductory courses, typically the equivalent to a minor or major in biology. These courses should include an ecology course.
Students who pursue Resource Management come from a variety of undergraduate disciplines including biology, chemistry, earth science, economics, engineering, environmental planning, environmental policy, mathematics, physics, political science, public administration, and resource management. The appropriate undergraduate course preparation is dictated by the requisites to the courses to be included in a program of study and the thesis topic area.
Students who pursue Environmental Policy and Administration come from a variety of undergraduate backgrounds such as economics, engineering, environmental planning, environmental policy, political science, public administration, sociology, or more traditional science disciplines. The appropriate undergraduate course preparation is dictated by the requisites to the courses to be included in a program of study and the thesis topic area. It would normally be expected that students would have the equivalent of one year of undergraduate course work in political science, public administration, or economics.
Applicants who do not meet these requirements may be admitted if their academic record, letters of reference, and GRE scores indicate potential for successful completion of the program. However, these students will have additional requirements placed upon them as part of their academic plan to make up any deficiencies.
University of Wisconsin - Madison
Agricultural and Applied Economics. M.S. M.A.

- Prerequisites: Students are expected to enter the Environmental Monitoring Program with depth in at least one academic discipline. Those entering the M.S. "professional" option should have at least an introductory background in statistics and be proficient in computer operations and applications. One semester of college-level calculus, two semesters of college-level statistics, and one semester of computer science are among the analytical and research prerequisites for the "research" option. Additional statistics and computer science courses are prerequisites for a doctorate. Students are strongly advised to take these courses before entering the program but may, if necessary, complete the requirements while enrolled in the program.
- Prerequisites: An individualized program without set prerequisites for admission or a common core of required courses. Students come from a variety of undergraduate backgrounds, have their own set of courses, and pursue a variety of careers. Students need to have the skills and knowledge appropriate for their course of study and demonstrated motivation for success. Admission depends on a previously established a relationship with one of the faculty members.
Geography or Cartography/G.I.S. M.S.
- Prerequisites Geography: Many students admitted to the MS Geography program at UW-Madison have earned an undergraduate degree in a discipline other than geography. Course work can be completed at the Master's level which provides students with breadth in the five major areas of geographical concentration: physical geography, human geography or regional geography, people-environment interaction or regional geography, cartography, and statistical methods.
- Prerequisites Cartography/G.I.S.: Incoming master's candidates are expected to have taken a course in quantitative methods, introductory cartography, remote sensing (equivalent of Civil Engineering 301, 302, and 303), computer programming (equivalent of Computer Science 302), and eight college credits in mathematics.
Environment & Resources. M.S., Ph.D. Institute of Environmental Studies
- Prerequisites: The Land Resources Program is appropriate for people with a broad variety of natural and social science educations, including resource planning and management, earth sciences, biological sciences, engineering and design, landscape architecture, geography, economics, sociology, and many other fields. We also seek applicants with "real world" experience in aspects of land resources. Applicants with a background in another area but strong interest in land resource problems may be admitted if a compelling application is presented.
Water Resources Management. M.S. Institute of Environmental Studies
- Prerequisites: Any person with an undergraduate degree in the biological sciences, earth sciences, economics, education, engineering, history, journalism, landscape architecture, law, mathematics, physical sciences, political science, urban and regional planning, or another suitable field may apply for admission to the Water Resources Management Program (WRM).

Geography, emphasis in physical geography and environmental studies. M.A. or M.S.
- Prerequisites: Evidence of general intellectual ability and compelling interest in geography. An undergraduate major in geography is desirable as evidence of such ability and interest but is not required. Past coursework will be compared to the core requirements of the UWM Geography bachelor's degree in order to determine any deficiencies that need to be satisfied as a condition of acceptance.

Mark Cuban is a polarizing figure. There's a camp that feels like he uses his money and role as Mavericks owner as an excuse to act like a first-rate buffoon, and there's another side that sees him and thinks they'd act exactly the same way if they had the wherewithal to purchase a professional sports team. Both sides would have to agree that Cuban has been ahead of the curve in many ways during his life, especially in terms of embracing new forms of communication and technology.
That's why it was surprising to click onto BlogMaverick, Cuban's blog, and find him agitating for a blacklist against bloggers who pass along or make up rumors about the teams and sports they cover. He blames bloggers, via his blog where he's been known to share personal thoughts and opinions without more than his gut feeling backing them up, for creating a world where it is impossible to believe anything you hear about the draft, trades, coaching changes and everything else.
How to stop it? ESPN.com puts up a page of blacklisted blogs and websites who's [sic] posts they wont comment on or report on in any way. It will create a short term surge of traffic for those sites, but then they will go away as the proprietors of the sites realize that being discredited is not a good thing.
It's funny that Cuban would pick ESPN, notorious for failing to credit other sources for information they happily report as their own, to monitor such a blacklist.
Did Cuban just make a big investment in Disney? It would explain why ESPN escapes his scorn as the fountain of sports rumors passed on by employees like Chad Ford, Chris Mortensen, Tim Kurkjian and Peter Gammons over the years. Not all of those have come to fruition, so wouldn't that make ESPN a perfect candidate for its own blacklist?
No matter who first passes along a rumor, it's called a rumor for a reason. Mortensen reporting that a member of the Broncos front office told him the team is looking to trade Brandon Marshall doesn't make a trade any more likely to happen than a blog saying that the Broncos should trade Marshall to the Bears for two second-round picks and a deep dish pizza. Everything is a rumor until it becomes a fact, and it's pretty easy to ignore all of them if that's your goal.
Since ESPN is out, we might as well toss in SI.com, FOX, CBS, NBC and Yahoo! as well. And most newspaper sports sections feature columnists and reporters passing along what this source or that agent tells them, and that doesn't always wind up being true. So they're out, and, while we're at it, so is sports radio and everything that isn't coming directly from the mouthpieces of the team themselves.
Hey, maybe we figured out what Cuban was aiming for in the first place?

A dominant second half defensive effort backed by a potent and balanced offensive attack sparked the University of La Verne to a 31-14 road triumph over Whittier College in SCIAC football action Saturday at Memorial Stadium in Whittier.
La Verne outscored Whittier 17-0 in the second half to earn its second consecutive win to even its record to 2-2 on the season while remaining unbeaten in conference play at 2-0.
Tied 14-14 at the half, Whittier took the second half kickoff and drove to the Leopard five-yard line, but were held out of the end zone. A short field goal attempt by the Poets sailed wide, and La Verne subsequently drove 80 yards for the go-ahead score as Matthew Biggers capped a 13-play drive with a 7 yard touchdown run for a 21-14 lead.
La Verne's defense forced a Poet punt on the ensuing possession, and would march 57 yards on six plays to set up a 26 yard field goal from Alex Miller to take a double-digit lead at 24-14 with 3:21 left in the third quarter.
After forcing another Whittier punt, La Verne started the fourth quarter at its own 20 and proceeded on an 11 play, 80 yard drive in six minutes, culminating in a 19 yard scoring run from Travis Sparks-Jackson for a 31-14 lead with nine minutes to play.
That was more than enough for the Leopard defense, which shut down the high-octane Whittier offense which entered the contest averaging a SCIAC best 44.0 points per game and more than 500 yards per game of total offense. The Leos held the Poets to 71 total yards in the second half.
On offense, La Verne amassed 451 yards on the night with 255 coming through the air and 196 on the ground.
The Poets (1-3, 0-2 SCIAC) jumped out to a 7-0 lead on a 22 yard pass from Chris Lopez to Matthew Asaro to complete a six play, 76 yard drive. La Verne answered with a 72 yard scoring drive on eight plays. Leopard quarterback Travis Carter converted a third down with a 13 yard pass to Gustavo Viramontes to reach the Poet six yard line, setting up a Biggers TD run on the next play to knot the game at 7-7 early in the second quarter.
Viramontes later capped a nine play, 55 yard drive when he hauled in a 19 yard scoring pass from Carter for the Leos' first lead of the game at 14-7 midway through the second quarter.
Whittier's quick strike capability on offense was displayed on the ensuing possession when Lopez connected with Anthony Johnson for a 70 yard touchdown pass with 6:52 left to play before halftime to tie the game at 14.
The Poets were held to just three first downs after intermission as the Leopards took control over the final 30 minutes en route to victory. Overall, La Verne totaled 26 first downs compared to Whittier's 12.
Biggers led all rushers with 123 yards on 32 carries and a pair of scores. Carter enjoyed his best outing of the season passing for 227 yards completing 18 of his 26 attempts and a touchdown. Viramontes caught five passes for a team-high 70 yards.
Lopez completed 13 of his 25 pass attempts for 232 passing yards for the Poets before giving way to backup Steven Rivera who tallied 73 yards through the air on 6-of-15 passing. Dameron Fooks caught six passes for a game-high 110 yards in the defeat.
The win was La Verne's third straight over Whittier with its last loss to the Poets coming in 2009.
La Verne will resume conference action next weekend as it returns home to host Redlands (1-1, 1-3 SCIAC) Saturday in a 7:00 pm start at Ortmayer Stadium.

Members of one Wilmington gang are "committed to engage in shootings" for 52 days.
By Adam Wagner
Members of one Wilmington gang are "committed to engage in shootings," possibly focusing on law enforcement, after the shooting death of Brandon Devone Smith, according to an FBI memo sent to the state's police chiefs.
Smith was shot to death Oct. 13 by two New Hanover County Sheriff's Office deputies and an ATF agent three days after allegedly firing on Michael Spencer, a member of the FBI Safe Streets Task Force and sheriff's office detective, in Creekwood.
Spencer is recovering after being shot in the left leg. A Wilmington Police Department detective who was with Spencer when he was shot and who returned fire on Smith is still on paid administrative leave pending an internal investigation.
Last week, an N.C. State Bureau of Investigation determined officers were justified in firing on Smith during the Oct. 13 incident.
Shortly after Smith was killed, New Hanover County Sheriff Ed McMahon said gang members had shown "a blatant disregard for authority and for life" during a recent wave of gun violence.
Smith was a validated member of the United Blood Nation gang and the threatened violence would be retaliation for his death, according to the FBI memo dated Oct. 22.
"Low ranking UBN foot soldiers committed to engage in shooting in the City of Wilmington for the next 52 days in retaliation for Smith's death," the memo said.
The period would be 52 days because of its importance to a branch of local Bloods, the 5 Deuce Brims, the memo said. Friday marks the 26th day since Smith's killing in the woods bordering a Wrightsboro neighborhood.
According to a Wilmington Police Department document, gang members have in the past followed officers and conducted surveillance on them after they left their command posts or the courthouse.
"It is standard practice for the FBI to share information with our law enforcement partners. In this case, the report was sent directly to law enforcement agencies to provide situational awareness," said Shelley Lynch, an FBI spokeswoman, in a statement. Lynch added she could not add more details because the memo was marked law enforcement sensitive.
The sheriff's office refused to comment on the memo.
Wilmington Police Chief Ralph Evangelous was unavailable for comment Thursday.
Since Oct. 22, the SBI has opened three investigations into law enforcement-involved incidents in the region. During those incidents, police shot and killed two people, wounded two others, and another man was injured by a police dog.
The two men who were killed and one of the men wounded are alleged to have been involved in the Oct. 25 armed robbery of the Pizza Hut on 17th Street in Wilmington. Six WPD officers were placed on administrative leave pending an SBI investigation into the shootings. Police recovered two guns from the suspects who Evangelous said fired no shots during their attempt to flee.
That incident happened on the first night of a joint effort of the WPD and sheriff's office called maximum uniform deployment, in which 32 typically non-uniform officers from each organization – a total of 64 – are working regular patrol shifts.
Wednesday, one man was shot in the foot at a Lullwater Drive apartment complex after he and two other men attempted to charge police in a gold Cadillac. The officers were investigating a report of a home invasion by three men armed with guns. Following the incident, two officers who fired on the suspects were placed on paid administrative leave pending an SBI investigation.
Evangelous and New Hanover County District Attorney Ben David also requested Wednesday an SBI investigation into a K-9 incident in the early hours of Nov. 1. Johnnie Lamont Williams allegedly drove through a traffic stop, almost running down police, and refused to leave his vehicle after police stopped him at Castle Hayne Road and 23rd Streets.
A K-9 officer deployed his dog on Williams, according to a press release, and Williams had to be taken to New Hanover Regional Medical Center with wounds from the dog before being taken into custody.
David said Nov. 1 that an investigation by the SBI concluded law enforcement officers were justified in opening fire on Smith on Oct. 13, even though he was not carrying a weapon.
An agent from the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and two sheriff's office deputies pursued Smith into the woods where, according to a narrative prepared by the District Attorney's Office, they saw him on the ground and "repeatedly" demanded he show his hands.
Instead of raising his hands, according to the narrative, Smith reached into his pockets and struggled to pull out a dark object, then began to extend his arm toward the officers.
"Everything that the officers could see was consistent with the object being a gun; there was nothing about the situation that might have suggested it was anything else," the narrative said.
The officers then "simultaneously" opened fire on Smith, who was still seated. David said nine bullets struck Smith, three grazed him and 12 missed during the three seconds of gunfire.

Here's hoping fourth time's the charm.
A Los Angeles judge Thursday granted Kelsey and Camille Grammer a divorce, freeing up the "Frasier" star to wed gal pal Kayte Walsh later this month as planned, according to reports.
"I wish Kelsey and Kate love and happiness in their new marriage," Camille Grammer, 42, said in a statement to Reuters.
On Monday, lawyers for the ex-pair of 13 years reportedly told L.A Superior Court Judge Maren Nelson they'd struck a deal to keep the divorce on the fast track by agreeing to work out a financial arrangement at a later date.
Camille Grammer, a former Playboy model turned Beverly Hills "Real Housewife," said in court filings her shared property with Kelsey, 55, approaches $20 million, according to the AP.
In recent weeks the breakup between the parents of two -- Kelsey is also the father of two children from a previous relationship -- had taken a nasty turn.
In an interview with shock jock Howard Stern, Camille strongly insinuated Kelsey liked to dress up as a woman during their marriage. She later claimed she had to compete with Fox News for his affections in the bedroom.
A month after the pair split in July, Kayte Walsh announced she was pregnant with Kelsey's child.
The 29-year-old British flight attendant later suffered a miscarriage.
Kelsey Grammer and Walsh will wed Feb. 25 at Manhattan's Plaza Hotel, about three months after announcing their engagement, according to the New York Post.

However, extrapolating from case studies and using available collected data, the EPA has estimated the United States produced approximately 325 million tons of total C&D waste in 2003 — the last year for which it undertook a survey of C&D debris.
Of the 325 million tons of C&D debris in 2003, 170 million tons consisted of building-related construction and demolition (C&D) materials. This amount marks a 23% increase from the estimate of 136 million tons of building-related C&D debris generated by the United States in 1996. From 1996 to 2003, there was a 32% increase in overall building construction, though construction spending increases can also reflect inflation, profit, and other factors that do not necessarily correlate to increased materials use.
Although the definition of C&D debris varies from state to state, it generally refers to the inert materials produced in the process of construction, renovation, and/or demolition of structures, where structures include buildings (residential, commercial, institutional, etc.), roads, and bridges (see SIDEBAR 1: C&D Defined).
Many states exclude materials that might meet the legal standards of hazardous waste from their definition of C&D debris, using terms such as "hazardous," "unacceptable," "potentially toxic," or "illegal." These materials must be treated or disposed of in a manner consistent with the federal requirements for hazardous waste, as outlined in the EPA's Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). (For a state-by-state look at definitions and regulations, visit The Construction Industry Compliance Assistance Center at http://www.cicacenter.org/solidregs.html.)
The three largest waste components on most job sites comprise cardboard, wood, and drywall. These materials typically make up 75% of job-site waste. The majority of C&D debris ends up in one of two types of landfills: municipal solid waste landfills, which handle household waste, and C&D landfills, which are devoted exclusively to C&D materials. The C&D landfills must comply with the few basic standards outlined in the Federal Register at 40 CFR Part 257, but state regulations governing them vary widely. In addition, unaccounted for amounts of C&D materials end up in combustion facilities or unpermitted landfills.
Still, most C&D materials can be recovered through recycling and reuse. Of the amount of C&D debris generated in 2003, the EPA estimates, based on state reported disposal and recovery data, approximately 48% was recovered. This recovery estimate marks a 23% increase from the amount estimated to have been recovered in 1996. However, this figure may be an overestimation due to the inclusion of materials that are from non-building sources.
Nevertheless, the recent rise in prices for commodities, such as copper, has led to an increase in the recovery of scrap metal on job sites. The EPA is hoping the interest in green building will also have a positive impact on the rates of recovery of other C&D materials. The agency vows to continue to work in partnership with state environmental agencies and construction organizations to actively promote recovery and recycling of C&D materials (see SIDEBAR 2: Construction Industry Efforts).
Reduce, reuse, recycle
There are numerous benefits of recovering construction and demolition materials, according to the EPA. It reduces the environmental effects of extraction, transportation, and processing of raw materials; reduces project costs through avoided disposal costs, avoided purchases of new materials, revenue earned from materials sales, and tax breaks gained for donations; helps communities, contractors, and/or building owners comply with state and local policies, such as disposal bans and recycling goals; enhances the public image of companies and organizations that reduce disposal; and conserves space in existing landfills.
To attain these benefits, electrical firms can take a multi-stage strategy. Design planning is the first defense against construction waste. Using standard sizes and high-quality engineered products and ordering accurately are both proven ways of saving on materials. In addition, prefabrication practices can cut down considerably on the amount of waste at the job site.
Despite advanced planning, every project will generate a certain amount of C&D debris. Therefore, recycling is a necessary component for keeping waste material out of the landfill. Packaging, new material scraps, and old materials/debris all constitute potentially recoverable materials. There are two ways to recycle at a job site: commingling and source separation. Commingling, or mixing recycled items together, allows workers to quickly throw debris into one bin, saving time and cutting down on the number of recycling containers on the job site. However, construction companies have to pay a C&D processing center to separate the waste.
Source separation allows builders to recycle at higher rates and at lower prices. Builders sell the recyclables directly to market, eliminating the step of hiring a processor to sort the material for them. Hand-separated debris is generally worth more than commingled trash because it contains fewer contaminants. On-site separation requires more up-front training for workers at the site. It is also more labor intensive. In addition, the labeled roll-off bins used for the separating can take up space, especially on small work sites. Furthermore, each bin will have to be transported to a specific recycling center, creating more administrative work for project managers. Finally, if a project will be seeking green certification, the electrical contractor may be responsible for tracking the amount of material removed and recycled to provide the information to the general contractor. However, once these processes are established, recycling can be done at little or no additional cost, especially because it eliminates the processing fee — and contractors can benefit from tax credits for recycling.
In renovation, appliances, masonry materials, and doors and windows may be reusable. Many construction waste materials that are still usable can be donated to non-profit organizations classified as 501(c)3 and are tax-deductible.
Green team
Recycling at 100% employee-owned Rosendin Electric, San Jose, Calif., began not on its construction job sites but in-house. Twenty years ago, the firm started its Green Team in order to become certified as the first green contractor with the City of San Jose. The Green Team, a cross-section of around a dozen employees from the company, consists of project managers and members of staff from every department. One of the team's first initiatives was to put a recycling bin beside every trash can in its office. "The first thing we did was look at anything that said 'trash,'" says Brad Rogers, yard manager for Rosendin Electric and one of the founding members of the Green Team. "Every office had a trash can, so we put a recycling can beside it. Then we started looking at what more we could do."
It wasn't long until the company started recycling waste materials from its job sites. The effort started with scrap cable, including copper, aluminum, and steel. "Years ago, they called scrap cable on job sites 'rabbit' because it ran away from jobs so quickly," says Rogers. "The Green Team put out to all Rosendin Electric's employees that scrap cable was not rabbit: it was part of the cost of the job."
At all its project sites, the company began placing special locked bins one of its security experts designed and its processing vendor fabricated. "We've never had one broken into," says Rogers.
The projected money generated from selling the scrap is included in the estimate of the project from which it's expected. The Green Team made sure the project managers were aware of this status. "They started making a good effort to recycle because the customers were going to benefit," Rogers explains. "Everybody got onboard pretty quickly."
Not long after, the company was able to eliminate the trash dumpsters at its job sites, replacing them with a construction debris box. "That means it's not trash," says Rogers. "It's all recyclable materials — even the wood and cardboard."
Rosendin Electric commingles, so its debris box is taken to a transfer station where it's separated. It also recycles fluorescent lamps and ballasts. Cardboard from packaging, particularly from solar panels, which come individually wrapped, merits its own bin. "It can be a lot of cardboard," says Ernie Beltramo, facilities manager for Rosendin Electric.
Although an incentive for recycling comes from the money it saves the customers, Rosendin Electric's staff also desires the environmental benefits. "We have a growing number of employees who are heavily involved in all things green and understand and appreciate the importance of doing our part to help the environment," says Rogers.
Rosendin Electric's recycling plan is addressed at each project's kickoff meeting, which members of the Green Team attend. "Now, when we go to a startup meeting, we ask about the steel, aluminum, and copper," says Rogers. "Are we removing fixtures from this job? If so, we'll scrap them for the steel value. Cardboard? Half the stuff used to go to landfills, and now we literally recycle every bit of it."
Additionally, in some of the areas the company works, the general contractors are under guidelines with owners or cities to provide proof that all fixtures and materials being torn out of renovations are recycled. "They want proof you didn't take it all to the dump," says Beltramo. "We're actually on a remodel job in San Francisco now, and we have to show documentation to the general contractor for everything we take off the job."
Headquartered in San Jose, Calif., Rosendin Electric has branch offices in San Francisco; Sacramento, Calif.; Los Angeles; Tempe, Ariz.; Hillsboro, Ore.; Las Vegas; and most recently, Arlington, Va. The Green Team has started recycling initiatives with all the branch offices too. "Our other branches across the country have been implementing the same thing we're doing in the Bay Area," says Beltramo. "Everybody's coming on-board to give the benefit to our customers and to help the environment."
Personal mission
San Diego estimates that each year 20% to 35% of the waste that goes to landfills is made up of C&D debris. This amounts to more than 100,000 tons annually for the unincorporated areas of the county and more than one million tons countywide. To lessen this amount, effective April 21, 2007, debris from C&D projects must be diverted away from landfill disposal in the unincorporated County of San Diego. The ordinance requires that 90% of inerts and 70% of all other materials must be recycled. In order to comply with the ordinance, applicants must submit a Construction and Demolition Debris Management Plan and a fully refundable Performance Guarantee prior to building permit issuance.
This ordinance applies only to construction, demolition, or renovation projects 40,000 square feet or greater in the unincorporated county of San Diego. Yet, Braulio Sanabrio, owner of San Diego-based Energy Care Electric, insists on recycling materials from all of his projects, which currently largely fall outside the jurisdiction of the ordinance. "It's very important for me to do what I can," says Sanabrio. "Since the beginning, I've been recycling and taking part in that. Everything that can be recycled, which now is just about everything — I throw very little away in the trash can — it gets recycled job after job."
Sanabrio is a 12-year veteran of the electrical industry. He's owned Energy Care Electric for the last four years, hiring additional workers when necessary, and also working solo when circumstances (mainly the construction economy) dictate. When he worked for others, Sanabrio initiated recycling programs. "I've always had that drive to influence my bosses to do it as well," he says.
As the owner of his own firm, he maintains his record of avoiding landfills. "Right now, I have no employees, so I do all of these things myself," he says. "But it doesn't mean that I don't create recyclables. Every small business can make a big difference."
The bulk of his current projects is designing and installing lighting upgrades. "Each bulb has a tremendous amount of cardboard, which is extremely wasteful," he says.
The popularity of green building hasn't yet translated to the packaging, according to Sanabrio. High-performance lamps may have more packaging than regular lamps. "It's amazing how much packaging goes into one light bulb, especially the fancy ones," he continues. "But fixing that is a whole different job."
Sanabrio's commitment to recycling remains steadfast, even when it means paying processing fees himself. "The industry is not really geared toward recycling," he says. "A lot of the fees for dumping — and the cost of moving the material — are very expensive."
Sanabrio doesn't adjust his bids to account for the fee. "It's something I do on the backend," he explains. "It's something I hope people can see, but it's not something I put in my bid. It doesn't change how I charge my customers. My focus is to rid the customer of all the headache of the waste."
On smaller jobs, there's not much profit from recycling. "The metals are easy recyclables," he says. "Don't get me wrong, I recycle copper as well. I've got a huge pile of copper, but it's not what I go into a job expecting to get. What I do know I'm going to have is plenty of cardboard, and the idea for me to profit off the cardboard — there's no such thing."
On one job, Sanabrio held onto the cardboard for an entire month in order to recycle it all at once. "For only one guy, I get a lot of cardboard," he says. "But I made a buck fifty off it. It made no financial sense, but I felt I did the right thing. It's something I feel passionate about."
Without financial gain from it, Sanabrio had to change the way he recycled. "It doesn't make any sense to hold onto it all," he says, meaning that he now recycles as he goes.
Sanabrio contracts with EDCO, a family-owned waste collection and recycling company that operates out of San Diego. It's been serving numerous communities in Southern California since 1967. The EDCO family of companies specializes in offering integrated, user-friendly waste removal and recycling programs to residential homes, multi-family properties, commercial businesses, multi-tenant buildings, industrial centers, construction sites, and community events. "They have a commingling plant and will pull out some material out of the trash can," says Sanabrio. "I support local companies that do that sort of conserving and recycling. If I get a construction dumpster, it will be with EDCO. Of course, I can't control everything, so at least I can take some comfort in knowing that EDCO will catch some of the recyclables in the dumpsters."
Sanabrio credits these expenses with keeping other firms from recycling. "It doesn't make dollars and sense for a lot of business owners," he says. "I feel that people would like to do it, but there's just nothing really there for them to make it part of their routine. You have to pay people to do anything, so that's time and money that a lot of contractors, especially now, just aren't willing to give."
SIDEBAR 1: C&D Defined
Definitions of construction and demolition (C&D) debris vary from state to state. However, in general, discarded inert materials include:
• Concrete, cinder blocks, drywall (sheetrock, gypsum, or plaster), masonry, asphalt
and wood shingles, slate, and plaster
• Forming and framing lumber, plywood, wood laminates, wood scraps, and pallets
• Steel, stainless steel, pipes, rebar, flashing, aluminum, copper, and brass, residential
and commercial steel framing, structural steel, and steel utility poles
• Brick and decorative blocks
• Siding
• Doors and windows
• Plumbing fixtures
• Electrical wiring
• Non-asbestos insulation
• Wood, sawdust, brush, trees, stumps, earth, fill, and rock/granular materials

SIDEBAR 2: Construction Industry Efforts
The construction industry is taking large strides to lessen its impact on the environment. To further these efforts, in 2006 the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) created an environmental agenda that listed seven goals, four of which relate most to materials management. Other efforts undertaken by the construction industry include the following:
• The Building Materials Reuse Association (BMRA) facilitates building deconstruction and the reuse and recycling of recovered building materials.
• The Construction Materials Recycling Association (CMRA) aids its members in the appropriate methods for processing material to ensure environmental protectiveness, as well as producing a high-value product. It has developed websites to reach out to any recyclers, users of recycled materials, and regulators in order to provide a better understanding of C&D materials recycling.
• The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) issued Green Home Building Guidelines that contractors can follow to make their homes more green, including reducing, reusing, and recycling construction waste. It also puts on an annual Green Building Conference. The NAHB Research Center also pursued research in the area of C&D materials recycling, such as using the material on-site.
• The National Demolition Association (NDA) actively promotes recycling and reuse of the materials generated during a demolition."

How to Find Other Computers on a Network
After you've connected your laptop to a network and the software connections are made, the next thing to do is browse to find out which other computers are connected to the network. You can view not only which computers share the same network, but also which resources those other computers offer up for your pleasure: They can share folders on disk drives, printers, and even modems. The only way to find out what's available is to look.
Seeing computers displayed in the workgroup window is a sure sign of success that the network is up, connected, and ready for action.
When you don't see any computers in the workgroup window, you have a problem. Either the network cable isn't connected, or it's bad. The network interface is bad. Or, the computers don't share the same workgroup name.
Seeing workgroup computers in Windows Vista
Choosing the Network item from the Windows Vista Start menu displays a list of networking devices available to your computer, such as what's shown below. Each icon represents another computer elsewhere on the network, specifically in your network's workgroup.
To see which resources each computer offers, click to open its icon. If that computer is sharing a folder from one of its disk drives or a printer, you see the appropriate icon listed in the window.
My Networking Places in Windows XP
To view other computers on the network in Windows XP, open the My Network Places icon, either on the desktop or from the Start menu.
The above figure shows a cozy, two-computer network that was created by simply attaching an Ethernet cable between a desktop computer and a laptop. (Directly means no hub or switch.) Both computers show up as icons, labeled with their computer names. The Workgroup name, Cat, appears on the Address bar and atop the window.

Leonard Pitts Jr
'Real' America has been here all along
A few words about the search for America.
Meaning not the piece of land bounded by Atlantic and Pacific but, rather, the one that exists as a fixed point in the communal psyche, the one that registers true north on our shared moral compass. It is the America where Beaver Cleaver lived, the America of manicured lawns and neat three-bedroom homes bordered by fences made of white pickets. It is the monochromatic America where dad worked and mom kept house and the family went to church together every Sunday, the America of once upon a time and never was. Some of us have been trying to get there (get back there?) for a very long time.
Conservative bloggers and pundits have exploited the longing for this America with shrill desperation to make voters fear Barack Obama, he of the "funny name" and exotic parentage. The lies have been brazen and prodigious, vivid illustration of the axiom that untruths big enough, repeated persistently enough, become true. So the airwaves and the Internet swarm with mendacity: Obama is a Muslim; Obama does not salute the flag; Obama mocks the Bible; Obama is not a citizen; Obama is the anti-Christ. Amazingly, the lies do not crumble under the weight of their own fatuity. Amazingly, they fester instead.
It is not surprising to see such tactics from the people who managed to paint a war hero as a traitor in 2004. But last week brought news that similar tactics were considered by one of Obama's fellow Democrats: Sen. Hillary Clinton. According to a story in the Atlantic Monthly, Mark Penn, one of Clinton's senior strategists, issued a memo urging her to attack Obama's "lack of American roots" during the party primaries.
" . . . [H]is roots to basic American values and culture, " wrote Penn, "are at best limited. I cannot imagine America electing a president during a time of war who is not at his center fundamentally American . . . " In other words, Obama was born in Hawaii (is that even a real state?), spent part of his childhood in Indonesia and does not resemble the presidents on the currency. Ergo, Obama is not American.
Not surprisingly, the number of hate groups in the United States has risen by almost half since 2000.
It is to her credit that Clinton never picked up on this line of attack. It is to Penn's lasting dishonor that he, even in the midst of a hard-fought campaign, offered it. He is toying with dangerous forces.
Perhaps it's enough to note by way of illustration that according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, the number of hate groups in this country has risen by almost half since 2000.
Yes, economic dislocation drives that rise, as do terrorism and a rancorous debate over immigration. But that rise also reflects the bone deep terror of those who feel that the further you get from true north -- true normal -- on the compass, from picket fences and church on Sunday, from a white middle American wholesomeness of once upon a time and never was, the further you get from America. To them, anyone who doesn't fit that America -- Muslims or Mexicans or gays or liberals or businesswomen or American Indians or India Indians or any guy with a funny name and exotic parentage -- represents a clear and present danger.
That's wrong, of course. And Penn knows it's wrong, but thought to exploit it anyway. That's beyond cynical.
One can only imagine how that cynicism plays with the Muslim who fights for this country because he thinks this country is worth it, or the gay man who petitions for change because he knows that here, change is possible, or the Indian woman who came here because, she felt, this is where opportunity lives. Their faith gives the lie to the cynicism of political calculation.
And proves that some of us have no need to search for America. Some of us know it's been right here all along.

Phone Scoop Review
Mar 25, 2009 by Eric M. Zeman
Motorola stuffs PTT capabilities into the RAZR2 and calls it the i9. As a communications device, it performs well and looks pretty good at the same time. But does Motorola do enough to extend the i9's veneer beyond the surface? read review ›

the best phone i have ever had
This phone is great i have no complaints
Its an okay device for the price
this is one of the best devices for boost mobile to date.the device has great display and on the go potential for receiving text and calls. the size of the device is perfect for people who happens to drop devices frequently (meaning more grip). However here are the following cons that i find bad but not the worst ( and believe me I had worst)
1. battery life doesn't hold up to heavy amounts of usage
2. device can easily break if dropped (i have tested dropping many different devices and this device has the worst consequences)
thats my review and i would only recommend this device to people who really knows how to take care of phones and they are high maintenance.
AD reviews continues below...
Excellent Phone
I switched from T-Mobile to Boost for the $50 unlimited plan and bought this phone. After 2 weeks, this is an great all-around phone.
Good signal strength
Loud speaker and ringtone
Camera is good for a quick picture shot
RAZR 2-like style
Mode shift technology
No 3rd party application support
I don't know why there this phone scores so badly. It's nice phone and does the job for my needs. Also, the text messaging issue with Boost seems to be fixed, as my messages are working fine in Houston.
Best Nextel Yet!
I am a long nextel user. I have of late used the i870 and i880. Both of which I was very pleased with. But since I purchased the i9 I don't think I had experienced the full capablilties of Nextel services. From the first time I made a call or even surf the web with the unit I definitely noticed the difference in the ability of the i9.
PROS: External touch sensitve controls, 3.1 magapixel camera, slide control to engage or disengage the touch controls, crystal clear sound quality both through headset and speakerphone, awesome resolution in camera and video mode
CONS: No accessories yet in stores or online for this phone
Excellent call quality but external display & Camera Sux!
Call quality is primary to me, & this phone tops any previous cells I've used. Excellent clarity & more than enough volume.
The camera is unacceptably dark unless in direct sunlight, even if set on "night" while indoors.
The external display is way too dark. Seems more gimmicky than usable - novelty.
PTT is excellent.
It meets or exceeds my expectations for my needs for using a cell, so that's enough for me. Yes, I would repurchase if lost or broken.
Awesome Flip Phone
This is the best phone money can buy for the best prepaid phone service going in the USA.
Nice big, clear displays.
Thinnest iDen phone yet.
Nice feature set.
Nice loud audio and ringer.
No regular headphone jack. What were they thinking ?
You will love it !
0.6 inch thin iden
Finally!!! a real thin, real iden. For any real iden user, like myself this is a god-send. I put my sim from my 8350i to play with it over the weekend, its very tempting to drop my blackberry, too bad i need my corporate email.
much much better than the v950
0.6 inches thin
3mp camera/camcorder
external touch screen
heavy, but not brick heavy, it fells very sturdy in my hand, unlike the v9m razr2
as a constant iden user, it would be nice for iden to pick up a 3g network
Yes, its nice!!! Dont cry about everything(if you have boost mobile slap urself for complaining)
This is by far the best phone you can get on boost mobile. Now let me start by saying that the people on here complaining about the phone coming out late ect. Are u people stupid or something? YOU HAVE A BUDGET MOBILE SERVICE!!!! 50 dollars a month FOR UNLIMITTED EVERYTHING, DUH!!! The phones for the most part are going to suck. This phone is awsome compared to everyhing else you can get. And it has been upgraded from the regular v9 razr, Hence the 3MP camera. As far as the price, Quit Crying $299 for this phone outright is a steal. When the razr v9m came out on VERIZON it was $299 with a new 2 year contract, outright it was and still is $549. Learn your facts before you post on here. Also compared to other companies that offer CHEAP prepaid service this is by far the best and the best phone you can get on about any of them. If you dont like it go get Verizon get on a 2year contract and get a phone a discounted price. This is really a nice phone, for the money you wont find anything better and anyone with Boost service should be praising the ground that the executives at motorola walk on for continuing to make these Boost/Nextell phones because NOONE else still uses this techknology, so much so that its nearly extinct. This is like a last ditch effort my sprint and nextel before they are gone for good. If you have boost get this phone now!!! LoL
So far ok
So far so good for Boost Mobile. Customer service seems to be ok so far just dont know what there exactly talking about or doing. I am a previous Sprint/Nextel employee, and one thing that has got me stumped is picture messaging. They said up to 72 hours recieving. I still can not recieve pics from other carriers but have no problem sending them. Battery life is pretty short and the texting is not to bad.
Nice iDen device!
Pro's: EXCELLENT voice quality. Very pleasantly surprised for the iDen network. Obviously many previous iDen device's use a sub-par earpiece.
Simply gorgeous LCD's both inside and out.
Changing buttons ons outer display for camera and media player work great. Very cool to use the phone just like a digital camera held sideways for pictures.
Camera is excellent. Of course digital zoom isn't preferable over optical but excellent picture quality when not using zoom. Flash starts out as a spotlight to help find your subject then flashes nice and bright when you take your picture.
T9-like contact list search. Just start typing the letters like you would for T9 and it finds your contact you want to call or message very quickly.
Push to talk over a bluetooth headset is simply cool...
Solid battery life and reception. Obviously using the camera with flash will affect your battery life. Others that have complained battery life must have had a defective device or was in a fringe coverage area.
Excellent, solid, heavy build quality. Even better than the CDMA V9m.
Con's: Default direction pad shortcuts are lousy, gotta reprogram them to actually used features.
Texting is a little funky, especially not being able to add words to your own dictionary that I can tell... Very slow data, it takes time to download even the shortest text messages.
Value. This device is expensive and seems like should have came out sooner relative to what the CDMA V9m offers for features.
Comments: Being a legacy CDMA Sprint technician this is my first iDen device that I have owned. I received it as a store advocate for the device which means I had to learn it inside and out. If you are looking for a very professional looking and built iDen device with a good media player and camera and are not a data or text heavy user this is the phone for you. Perfect for the executive or executive assistant for a company that uses Nextel PTT for their main form of communication.

"The City of Esslingen has set itself the goal of reducing CO2 emissions by 2020. The ESPRIMO P910 0-Watt PC from Fujitsu is helping us to fulfill this green strategy while also easing the pressure on our budget thanks to significant reductions in energy costss"
Matthias Franz, CIO IT Services, City of Esslingen am Neckar
Located just a few miles from Stuttgart, Esslingen am Neckar has roots going back more than 1,200 years. With 87,000 inhabitants, it is one of Germany's medium-sized cities. Its ambitious environmental policies have seen Esslingen make national headlines again and again and helped it to win first place in the 2010 'German climate protection capital' competition in the category for cities with between 20,000 and 100,000 residents. Esslingen had already received the Climate Star 2007, a European award for sustainable mobility and climate protection. So it's no surprise that the city council's IT philosophy is also particularly green.
By 2020, Esslingen aims to reduce CO2 emissions by 25% in the city. In 2007, an official council resolution turned this commitment to climate protection into a political maxim. "This is a great opportunity for our IT services," explains Matthias Franz, CIO IT Services for the City of Esslingen am Neckar, "because – for the first time – aspects such as constant data growth and increases in performance are being considered together with ecological factors." The city therefore began looking for extremely energy-efficient IT devices for employees in local government, municipal services and schools.
Following extensive tests conducted as part of a Europe-wide tendering process, the city chose the ESPRIMO P910 0-Watt from Fujitsu as its standard PC. "We have closely examined a great many computers here on site," emphasizes Matthias Franz. "We even used an electricity meter to measure the energy consumed by the various models." DATAGROUP, a Fujitsu SELECT Partner, has already delivered 300 of the ESPRIMO P910 0-Watt PCs. And the council is already seeing a sustainable effect.
The IT department at the city council had already had good experiences in saving energy through consolidation and energy-efficient hardware. The recent virtualization and modernization of its data center resources led to annual energy cost savings of an estimated 30,000 Euros."This made us even more motivated to use a modern, green IT infrastructure," comments Matthias Franz. "We have realized that the IT department can actively support the green policies of the City of Esslingen too."
Particularly in municipal schools, the use of modern, green computer systems is a good opportunity both to standardize and to provide efficient, environmentally friendly PCs. The (often donated) second-hand computers previously found in many of the schools presented great problems for the IT department and the schools themselves due to the extremely inconsistent system landscape and sent the electricity bills through the roof. "We can now use the new green strategy to move from these heterogeneous environments to standardized and economical Fujitsu ESPRIMO P910 0-Watt PCs," says the CIO with satisfaction. "In this way, we will achieve annual savings that will certainly match those of the overall municipal infrastructure."
The Fujitsu ESPRIMO P910 is a 0-Watt PC equipped with advanced power supply technology. This means that it requires no power from the network when in standby mode (ACPI S5), which will really add up over the year. Its set-up allows a time window to be defined in which the PC is 'available' for software updates to be performed remotely, retaining the advantage of administering the PC outside usage times.
The highly efficient power supply offers 94% efficiency and is therefore much more economical than conventional power supplies. And green IT is also reflected in the materials used. No PVC is used in the cables and the motherboard printed circuit contains no hazardous flame retardants.
When configured normally, the Fujitsu ESPRIMO P910 0-Watt PC requires a maximum of around 59 Watts, a value that can of course be further reduced if the machine is used sensibly. "We achieve high energy savings through a combination of basic technology and software rules," continues Matthias Franz. "And it might be possible to save a little more depending on how quickly the device is switched to hibernation mode or the screen is turned off. Intelligent tools can also tell whether you're using power-hungry CAD applications or simply working in Word, and can adjust the CPU power accordingly."
In addition to energy savings, city employees benefit from the extremely low level of noise – around 22 dB(A) in idle mode – emitted by the new Fujitsu ESPRIMO PCs. "This was another of our deciding factors that Fujitsu met in full," explains Matthias Franz. The project has more than paid off for the City of Esslingen am Neckar and its IT department, which sees itself as a municipal laboratory for innovation:
"User satisfaction is very high because the ESPRIMO P910 0-Watt PCs give out very little noise while offering high performance. But of course, the great potential for saving energy was the thing that truly convinced us. Here at the city council, we hope to save 60 Euros a year per PC. Once all 1,000 PCs have been delivered, plus the 2,500 (approx.) PCs designated for municipal schools, we will therefore make a considerable annual saving as well as going a long way towards reducing CO2 emissions."

How Morcellators Simplified the Hysterectomy but Posed a Hidden Cancer Risk
The Tool Is Popular Among Gynecologists, but Few Doctors Informed Patients It May Spread Cancer
The women's health-care community got a shock to the system in December, when leading U.S. hospitals abruptly began acknowledging that a commonly used surgical tool risked killing some women.
The tool, used since the 1990s in many hysterectomies, can stir up aggressive cancers, they said. Brigham and Women's Hospital, Temple University Hospital and others quickly altered their procedures for the tool's use. The Food and Drug Administration has begun a probe of its risks....

It's so nice to have a delicious glass of freshly juice at your disposal any time of day. And it's even better when it comes from a cute, compact package like Compak's Fruit Juicers.
The look like something that would fit in the Jetson's futuristic world, and they come in a bunch of different colours — champagne, platinum, orange, sky blue, and pink. They run about $US309 and deliver 175W of fruit pulverising power (which is pretty standard, but the vintage style is hard to resist).

On Monday I was looking around Tribeca area and found this cute litte restaurant called Kitchenette to have a lunch.
I love those not-trying-to-be-too-fancy places, where you can just feel very cosy and homely. For example when you order a coffee they will bring you a generous cup full of just hot and simple coffee..and refill it whenever you want. After that I really don't feel like ever going to Starbucks again.
Of course it would have been nice to order something traditional, something 'American' but I went for a Mediterrenean salad and was very happy with my choice. I'm sure I'm going to re-make it at home, super-easy, just some greens, roasted eggplant and peppers, artichoke hearts, handful of fresh mozzarella, all tossed over with basil vinaigrette. I think I might have to go back there for a breakfast one day, because a herb and goat cheese omlette sounds just too good and I haven't had pancakes in a while... gingerbread ones with pumpkin butter would be nice as I'm already in a holiday mood.

The following biography is from the archives of askArt.
Norway was the key to the life and art of landscape painter William H. Singer, Jr., and it was Norwegian artist Martin Borgord, living in Pittsburgh, Singer's hometown, who offered him that key.
Singer was born in 1868 of well-to-do parents involved in the industry of the steel-producing town. Singer would eventually inherit a large fortune that he would use to help the inhabitants of Olden, a Norwegian fishing village, where he would later settle and encounter the Nazis during their occupation in World War II.
But as a youth, his desire to be a painter was thwarted by his father who wanted Singer to join the family business, which he did for eleven years. While thus employed, Singer studied with Borgord and painted landscapes outside Pittsburgh. In 1900, however, Singer took the bull by the horns and left the steel business to paint on Maine's Monhegan Island. He had been encouraged to do so by two of his paintings being shown in the Carnegie International Exhibition of that year.
After brief study in Paris at the Academie Julian and with Jean Paul Laurens, Singer, his wife Anna Brugh and Borgord, who had traveled to France together, went to Holland to the small artist's colony in Laren known as the Dutch Barbizon. Just as dissatisfaction with the French educational emphasis on the figure over landscape had led him to leave Paris for Laren, so the flatness of the Dutch landscape eventually led Singer to the crucial discovery of his life in terms of a subject matter proper to his artistic inspiration.
Martin Borgord suggested they go to Norway. That did it. Singer was enthralled by the majesty of the fjords and massive mountain landscape, expressing their solitude and grandeur through the vibrant color and energetic brushwork of his Impressionist styleand an artist's soul completely fulfilled by, and in tune with, his surroundings.
He would build a mansion on the West Coast in Olden. In return for his generosity to them, the villagers of Olden helped the Singers against the intrusion of the Nazis until the artist died of a heart attack in 1943, two years before the War's end.
William Henry Singer, Jr. was a member of the Allied Artists of America, American Art Association, National Academy of Design, Pittsburgh Art Society and St. Lucas Art Association. His work is in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago; Brooklyn Museum; Delgado Museum, New Orleans; Gemeente Museum, The Hague; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City; Musee du Luxembourg, Paris; Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Philadelphia; Royal Museum, Antwerp. Belgium; and the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam.
David Michael Zellman, "300 Years of American Art"
Peter Falk, "Who Was Who in American Art"
Biography from Washington County Museum of Fine Arts
Singer, founder of the Washington County Museum of Fine Arts in Hagerstown, was born in Allegheny, on the north side of what is now Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. His father was in the steel business of Singer & Nimick in Pittsburgh, founded by the artist's uncle, John Singer in 1854.
Singer had early decided on a career in art. His mother, Hester Harton Singer, encouraged his artistic pursuits, while his father was a Sunday painter and his grandfather George Singer had been a painter and gilder of chairs in Greensburg, Pennsylvania. In 1895, Singer married Hagerstown resident, Anna Brugh and in the summer of 1900, they went to Monhegan Island in Maine where Singer began painting full time.
In 1901, the couple crossed the Atlantic and Singer enrolled in the Academie Julian in Paris for several months. His love for the outdoors, drove him to leave the Academie to paint directly from nature. They moved to Laren, Holland, not far from Amsterdam, where a regional school of artists flourished. The couple began spending summers on the west coast of Norway and settled near the village of Olden on the Nordfjord, north of Bergen during World War I.
Singer's greatest artistic inspiration came from painting the Norwegian landscape. Although the first World War closed the era of painting abroad for most artists, Singer remained, painting in the style of the post-Impressionists long after it was fashionable. His work often shows the influence of Pointillism with its stippled coloration.
Glorifying the natural setting, Singer created beautiful landscapes throughout the 1920s and 1930s until his death in Norway during the Nazi occupation.
