Wake, memorial service planned for Deering basketball coach who died suddenly last week
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) � Friends of a popular Maine high school basketball coach who died suddenly get to say their final goodbyes this week.
Deering High School boys' freshman coach Brendan Conway died last Thursday after he collapsed while playing basketball at the East End Community School. He was just 34 years old.
A wake is scheduled from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Monday at the A.T. Hutchins Funeral Home in Portland.
A memorial service is planned for Tuesday afternoon at the Deering gymnasium.
An autopsy is scheduled to determine the cause of death, but members of Conway's family tell the Portland Press Herald (http://bit.ly/1eDbZN9) it appears he had an undiagnosed heart condition.
Conway, a Bates College graduate, was a sales agent for Maine Real Estate Network in South Portland.

11: My Best Buddy in the Whole World! | Two sweet babies
12: Did you hear him say I cheated?!?! | Smidgen LOVED to play cards. [He was better than Jordan & Daddy!] | This is the saddest hand I've ever seen!

18: When God made the world, He chose to put animals in it, and decided to give each whatever it wanted. All the animals formed a long line before His throne, and the cat quietly went to the end of the line. To the elephant and the bear He gave strength. To the rabbit and the deer, swiftness; to the owl, the ability to see at night, to the birds and the butterflies, great beauty; to the fox, cunning; to the monkey, intelligence; to the dog, loyalty; to the lion, courage; to the otter, playfulness. And all these were things the animals begged of God. At last He came to the end of the line and there sat the little cat, waiting patiently "What will YOU have?" God asked the cat. The cat shrugged modestly , "Oh whatever scraps you have left over. I don't mind." "But I'm God. I have everything left over." "Then I'll have a little of everything, please." And God gave a great shout of laughter at the cleverness of this small animal and gave the cat everything she asked for, adding grace , elegance, and only for her, a gentle purr that would always attract humans and assure her a warm and comfortable home. But he took away her false modesty. - Lenore Fleischer

23: I don't think it is so much the actual bath that most cats dislike; I think it's the fact that they have to spend a good part of the day putting their hair back in place. Debbie Petterson | Cats leave paw prints on your heart. | Bath Time!!
24: . | The first time Jordan and I ever laid eyes on Smidgen was at the Hamilton's house. Michelle had found him wedged up between two brick walls full of concrete. Unfortunately his mother had passed away. He was SO tiny! I didn't think anything so tiny could survive. I was resistant to taking him since Daddy had just passed away and we were still hurting. But there really was no other option. We brought him home. He barely filled the palm of your hand, thus the name Smidgen. We bottle fed him around the clock. We took him everywhere we went [even to work w/me[. He did survive and he grew to fill our home with love. So much love that even Allen became a cat person. Smidgen stole our hearts. He had a troubled adolescence. He sent us for a few stitches during his rough teenage years. But our love for him never wavered. He was our baby. no matter how old he became he always remained our baby, even when he was our grumpy old curmudgeon. Over the years he mellowed into our muttering little old man, lol. But there could NEVER be another cat like our sweet little Smidgen. We miss you and love you very much. Rest in peace sweet baby.
25: Did I ever tell you that I used to work at the Federal Reserve?!? | We'll meet you at the Rainbow Bridge Smidgie. Until then we will continue to love you with all of our hearts. You will be missed our little love.

Orchestra Software Listed on Inc. 5000 Fastest Growing Companies in America
Orchestra Software Ranks No. 704 on the 2014 Inc. 5000 with Three-Year Sales Growth of 643%
A combination of cloud technology, industry-specific business software, and a strategy known as software "verticalization" has propelled Orchestra Software to number 704 on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest growing companies in America for 2014. The list represents the most comprehensive look at the most important segment of the economy—America's independent entrepreneurs. Companies such as Yelp, Pandora, Timberland, Dell, Domino's Pizza, LinkedIn, Zillow, and many other well-known names gained early exposure as members of the Inc. 500|5000.
"This recognition validates our strategy of industry vertical ERP software, and is a testament to the incredible performance of the team at Orchestra Software over the past five years," said Orchestra Software President, Brad Windecker. "When we started out, the thought of $2 million in revenue and 100 customers seemed like a distant dream. But this team achieved those milestones, so we're now confidently looking forward to larger more ambitious goals for the future."
Founded in 2008, Orchestra Software and its 20 employees has fostered a rapidly-growing customer base of small and mid-size businesses seeking industry-specific, cloud-based ERP software packages to replace off-the-shelf bookkeeping and inventory management.
Orchestra Software generated $2.4 million in revenue in 2013 up from just over $300,000 in 2010 – a three-year-growth increase of 643%. Orchestra Software also added 12 new jobs during the same period. Orchestra Software's revenue growth and job creation has made an impact in the local technology scene, earning the 12th spot on the list of fastest-growing companies in Oregon.
"A lot of our recent growth has been possible due to the technology advancements of the Cloud", said Orchestra Software Vice President, Reshad Kazimee. "This allows us to take our SaaS Enterprise solutions into untapped markets at an affordable monthly subscription. The business complexities that reside in a smaller company are typically the same as a larger company. The smaller companies have just not been able to afford Enterprise software until now."
Windecker attributes such growth trends to a combination of stellar talent and strategies that constantly drive Orchestra to the bleeding edge of innovation:
"Orchestra's high performance culture based on continuous improvement is what makes us great. We're constantly adapting to our customers' needs and expectations, with the goal of wowing the customer at every point in the process," added Windecker. "Being open to change leads to opportunities for innovation at all levels of the organization that we take advantage of whenever possible."
The 2014 Inc. 5000 is the most competitive crop in the list's history with listed companies averaging a three-year growth of 516%, aggregate revenue of $211 billion while generating 505,000 jobs over the past three years.
More about Orchestra Software
Located in Beaverton, Oregon, Orchestra Software is an enterprise software company that creates industry vertical solutions that are scalable for large companies, but affordable enough for small growing companies. Orchestra's industry-specific software consolidates all company operations into one single application, providing an unparalleled insight into the business, and creating opportunity for cost savings and increased profitability.
Orchestra Software currently offers solutions to the downstream Oil & Gas industry and the beverage manufacturing industry with plans to expand into new markets in the near future.
More about Inc. and the Inc. 500|5000
The 2014 Inc. 5000 is ranked according to percentage revenue growth when comparing 2010 to 2013. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2010. They had to be U.S.-based, privately held, for profit, and independent–not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies–as of December 31, 2013. (Since then, a number of companies on the list have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2010 is $100,000; the minimum for 2013 is $2 million. As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons. Companies on the Inc. 500 are featured in Inc.'s September issue. They represent the top tier of the Inc. 5000, which can be found at http://www.inc.com/5000.

Windows can add a lot to a home's character. But if they're old and worn, they can also add to your heating and cooling bills.From Better Homes and Gardens
In older houses, faulty windows can account for a third of the total heat loss in winter and as much as 75 percent of interior heat gain in summer. Look for the following telltale signs that a window has lost its effectiveness:
In some cases, replacing broken panes and tending to loose or missing weather stripping may buy some time. If your windows are old and ill-fitting, however, you need more than stopgaps. (Read more about securing windows.)
Replacement window options
Wood is the choice of most homeowners. Wood is strong, insulates well, and has natural appeal and a warm look. It needs exterior maintenance, and interior surfaces can be painted, stained, or finished any number of ways.
Vinyl windows do not need to be painted or stained—a plus on the exterior. They offer good insulation value and strength, making them a viable alternative to wood.
Aluminum windows have a stronger frame but poorer insulation than wood or vinyl. They're fine in areas with a mild climate, and are also used for commercial applications.
Fiberglass combines the higher strength and stability of aluminum with the insulating properties of wood and vinyl. Fewer options are available at this time, as fiberglass is just beginning to show up in the window market.
Combination windows are available with wood on the interior and vinyl or aluminum on the exterior, combining the look of wood with a low-maintenance exterior material. This is known as "cladding" (as in vinyl-clad or aluminum-clad). (Read more about window shopping.)
Features to consider
Energy efficiency. Almost any good-quality window available today incorporates two pieces of glass with a sealed airspace between then as a buffer between indoors and out. Some windows are even triple-paned. You may have the option of argon gas instead of air between the glass to further the window's insulating abilities. Most window manufacturers also offer such options as low-E glass, which reflects heat and screens out the sun's rays.
Design. Windows are available in shapes ranging from quarter rounds to ovals. Consider an arrangement of smaller windows instead of one large one, or vice versa.
Ease of installation. The easiest type of replacement window is a frame-within-a-frame design that can be installed in an existing frame without disturbing walls or trimwork. Some are sold in kit form, complete with hardware, for standard sizes. If your original windows have divided lights or panes, look for multipane replacements or snap-in grilles that match glass dividers on the old units as closely as possible. If your windowsills are rotting or damaged, however, you'll need to replace the old frame as well.
Ease of maintenance. Weather-resistant materials will reduce your regular maintenance; vinyl or aluminum-clad exteriors need no painting. For ease of cleaning, choose windows that tilt in or open from the side. Many double-hung windows now come with tilting sashes so both interior and exterior glass surfaces can be cleaned from inside the house.
Function. Tempered glass is required by code for certain applications, such as glass doors and some window installations with low sill height. For more extreme conditions, such as coastal environments, consider laminated impact-resistant glass designed to withstand hurricane-force winds and the impact of airborne debris.
Hardware. Some manufacturers offer improved hardware for crank-out windows such as casements and awnings -- specifically, collapsible or low-profile handles that don't interfere with blinds or other window coverings. Others offer a variety of style options for latches and locks. To be safe, ask about these and any other convenience features before the units end up in your walls. Also, try the hardware in the showroom. Does the window lock, unlock, and open easily? This test gives you a feel for the window's usability and its overall quality as well.
Cost guidelines
Broadly, vinyl and wood are the least expensive, fiberglass costs more, and clad windows are even more. That said, a general price range for an average size (30-inch by 48-inch) window is $100 to $200, which will be higher in urban areas.
More features—like tilting versions and higher E-ratings—increase the cost, although sometimes as the price and quality increase, more options are included. Differences in the up-front purchase price of a window may eventually be offset by other factors. Energy efficiency and a no-maintenance exterior will offset the up-front cost difference over time. Second, installation and labor costs could actually be higher for an "economy-grade" all-wood window, if you factor in charges for painting, and how much sooner you may have to replace it than a window made from more durable material.
One way to keep your window costs from rising is to avoid special orders. Try to work with standard sizes from a manufacturer, and select from the standard styles and features that your local retailer stocks.

SEER ratings are a way to calculate the efficiency of an air conditioner. (The acronym stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio.)
It's the output during a typical season divided by the total electric energy output during that same period.
The higher the SEER rating, the more efficient the AC.
For a unit with a SEER rating of 10, it would cost 10 cents per hour to operate. That's assuming that electricity costs you 20 cents per kWh (kilowatt hour), and that it's a 5,000-BTU air-conditioning unit.
Be forewarned: the higher the SEER rating, the higher the price. That's because you will save over the life of the unit, with lower operating costs.Say you're trying to decide between SEER 13 and SEER 16.
Both are 3-ton (36,000-BTU) AC units. If the climate were the same, with each unit running the same number of hours, the SEER 13 would cost you about $500/year to operate, while the SEER 16 would cost $95 less each year.
How many years of SEER savings would you need to make up the difference in the purchase price? Probably not that many, since the difference in price might be only a few hundred dollars.
If you can afford it, go for the highest SEER rating possible. (Consult your HVAC contractor before making the final decision.)
Ductless air-conditioning systems are available with SEER ratings as high as 28. (The absence of air-leaking ducts makes them more efficient.)
Conventional ducted AC systems can range up to 21 SEER.

Have fun shopping, and look forward to a cool summer!

Most prospective college students know to take a long hard look at a college campus. Can they see themselves walking through this quad, sleeping in these dorms, and eating in this cafeteria for the next four years? But what about the town in which a prospective college is located? As college is all about independence, getting off campus for a night on the town can be an important part of relaxing and de-stressing, making a college town's quality of life an important factor to consider when choosing a place to spend the next four years.
For this article, we've found 20 great small college towns with great quality of life. As "quality of life" can mean different things to different people, we've based our selection on the following:
– Livability
– Cultural offerings
– College/University presence
– Employment opportunities (for those students who decide to stick around after graduation)
– Populations of less than 100,000 people (according to the 2010 U.S. census)
1. Flagstaff, Arizona
Northern Arizona University students living in Flagstaff, Arizona are surrounded by strong Southwestern culture, plenty of job opportunities, and beautiful mountainscapes and scenery. Theaters and frequent festivals and music events provide plenty of reason to head off campus, while the close proximity of the Grand Canyon means easy access to hiking or camping weekends away. Plenty of students choose to stick around this great place after graduation, and major employers include Gore-Tex, Nestle Purina Petcare, and the U.S. Naval Observatory Flagstaff Station, the latter of which recently teamed up with The Discovery Channel to build a new powerful new telescope for future projects and discoveries.
2. Bozeman, Montana
It's hard to imagine a place quite as beautiful as Bozeman, Montana. With lakes, rivers, and mountains all within an easy driving distance, it's no wonder Montana State University students tend to be outdoorsy types. Fly fishing, rock climbing, skiing, spelunking, and hiking are all popular pastimes here. When it's time to relax, Bozeman's picturesque downtown is lined with friendly and inviting coffee shops, bars, art galleries, and restaurants. For those looking to stick around Bozeman after graduation, the Gibson Guitar Corporation's acoustic guitar factory is located here, as are a growing number of tech start-ups that are attracted to the lower cost of living and higher quality of life.
3. San Luis Obispo, California
San Luis Obispo (or SLO as it's lovingly referred to by California college-aged kids) is one of the oldest cities in the state. Spanish and Native American cultures are strong here, and plenty of historical sites exist within the city limits. The Santa Lucia Mountains make for a pretty view to one side, though SLO also boasts easy access to the Pacific Ocean. Students at California Polytechnic State University relax with popular pastimes like biking, hiking, and spending the day at the beach. Tech-savvy Cal Poly students will like that Pacific Gas & Electric, Tenet Healthcare, and the various research groups associated with the University are all major employers in the greater SLO area.
4. Claremont, California
Pretty Claremont, California is a great place to attend college and an even better place to live. Often referred to as the "City of Trees and PhDs," Claremont is home to the system of Claremont Colleges, a quiet community scene, and easy access to the city of Los Angeles. Claremont's picturesque downtown is lined with boutiques, inviting coffee shops, and tasty restaurants. There's always something to do downtown or at one of the local parks or theaters, while more adventurous pastimes here include skiing or snowboarding in the San Gabriel Mountains, and swimming in the Pacific Ocean. Good news for those who plan to stay in Claremont after graduation: CNN Money recently named the college town the best place to live in all of California.
5. Grand Forks, North Dakota
Home of the University of North Dakota, Grand Forks is very much a college town. Cowboy, Midwestern, and Native American cultures seamlessly collide in Grand Forks, and combine into a laid-back community with a strong and diversified economy and a low cost of living. Grand Forks is home to a number of industries such as defense, healthcare, education, food processing, and research. Altru Health System, Grand Forks Air Force Base, Amazon.com, and LM Wind Power are the largest employers here, and often employ students in internship or part-time positions.
6. Fayetteville, Arkansas
Home to the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville consistently ranks as one of the best small towns in America. Downtown Fayetteville has plenty of locally owned bars, restaurants, coffee shops, festivals, parks, and cultural events to lure students off campus. Plus, the town is set against the beautiful Ozark Mountains, so hiking, camping, and other outdoor activities make for popular pastimes and relaxing weekends away. According to Forbes, Fayetteville is the 8th best city in the country in which to start a business — good news for entrepreneurial Arkansas alumni.
7. Bloomington, Illinois
Bloomington, Illinois (along with its next-door neighbor, Normal) is the home of Illinois Wesleyan University and Illinois State University. Thanks to these two large schools, the town of Bloomington enjoys plenty of cultural and sporting events throughout the year. Local businesses cater to the student population, and often offer coupons, discounts, and even freebies to Bloomington's student population. The cost-of-living here is low compared to the rest of Illinois, and big employers like State Farm Insurance, Mitsubishi, and Country Financial make it a great location to both attend college and start a life.
8. Oxford, Mississippi
Oxford, Mississippi, home of Ole Miss, is one of those towns that has it all. The epitome of the southern small town, Oxford has a long literary history, and has been the home of a number of authors, from William Faulkner to John Grisham. In fact, Faulkner's home Rowan Oak is a major must-see site in Oxford. Grilling and tailgating are major pastimes here, especially during Ole Miss football season. Oxford residents also have plenty of access to good music thanks to the town's close proximity to bigger cities like Nashville, Memphis, and New Orleans.
9. Bloomington, Indiana
Not to be confused with Bloomington, Illinois two spots up, Bloomington, Indiana is home to Indiana University. Named for the myriad of blooms spotted by early settlers, Bloomington is consistently named one of the most beautiful small towns in the nation. Restaurants, cultural activities, concerts, and university events are enough to keep any Bloomington resident busy, while plenty of nearby outdoor activities make for relaxing weekend getaways. IU's entrepreneurial students will be happy to know that Bloomington was named by Entrepreneur magazine as one of the 50 Hottest Small Cities for Entrepreneurs, while Forbes ranked it the third best place for business careers.
10. Logan, Utah
Home to Utah State University, Logan offers residents a stunning natural landscape around which skiing, hiking, camping, and fishing are all popular pastimes. Logan has a large religious presence in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons), though those who aren't members of the church need not worry about not fitting in to the local community. The Utah Festival Opera is headquartered in Logan, and many other festivals, concert series, and theaters come through town throughout the year. Techies will love the Space Dynamics Laboratory is one of the town's largest employers, along with Icon Health & Fitness, Gossner Foods, and Schreiber Foods. Recently, Newsmax named Logan one of the "Top 25 Uniquely American Cities and Towns."
11. Lafayette, Indiana
As the home of Purdue University, most of Lafayette, Indiana revolves around the university life. There is always something happening here, whether it's a concert or festival downtown or an event put on by Purdue's Greek system (the third largest in the nation). A short drive away from campus is the Wabash River, where students can get away for a relaxing weekend of fishing, camping, hiking, or any number of other outdoor activities. Downtown Lafayette is lined with coffee shops, cafes, restaurants, and bars, all of which are affordable and cater to Purdue students. Caterpillar, Wabash National, and Subaru are all major companies that help contribute to the town's low unemployment rate and reasonable cost of living.
12. Lawrence, Kansas
Lawrence, Kansas is consistently ranked among the top cities in which to retire, but don't get the wrong idea. Lawrence offers its residents all the creature comforts one could ask for, and as the home of both University of Kansas and Haskell Indian Nations University, has quite a lively college scene. Most of this scene occurs near downtown, where restaurants, bars, and concert venues provide fun places for students to spend evenings off campus. Indeed, the New York Times referred to Lawrence as having "the most vital music scene between Chicago and Denver." Music lovers will especially love the annual Wakarusa Music and Camping Festival, during which upwards of 60,000 music lovers flock to Lawrence to see some of the hottest names in music.
13. Binghampton, New York
Home to Binghampton University, Binghampton, New York has long attracted residents looking for a charming and economically stable place to call home. Most of Binghampton is centered around the defense industry, and large companies like Lockheed Martin, BAE Systems, IBM, Sanmini-SCI, and Universal Instruments all actively recruit from the University's impressive graduates. For those students who aren't quite sure about spending more than four years here, Binghampton has plenty to offer for both fun and relaxation. The picturesque downtown was made for strolling, and has a number of fun restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, art galleries, and even museums. Binghampton is also home to the best philharmonic in the region, while a number of festivals and concert series stop here throughout the year.
14.Burlington, Vermont
A safe and lively urban scene, well-planned community growth, a low cost of living, and a business scene inviting for start-ups and other small businesses all combine to make Burlington, Vermont a college town with great quality of life. The University of Vermont, Burlington College, and Champlain College all call Burlington home and provide most of the town's residents. As would be expected from such a college scene, Burlington has a thriving musical, artistic, and cultural scene that consistently provides local residents with concerts, festivals, theater, and other activities. The downtown is a walkable collection of historic buildings, locally owned shops, and tasty restaurants, while Vermont's famed skiing can be found a short drive away.
15. Charlottesville, Virginia
Spend four years at University of Virginia and you'll find it hard to leave the charming town of Charlottesville. Two U.S. presidents have called Charlottesville home, and Thomas Jefferson's Monticello (now a UNESCO World Heritage Site) is located here as one of the town's top tourist attractions. Surrounding Charlottesville are gorgeous rolling hills, a myriad of wineries, and views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Downtown Charlottesville consists of one of the longest outdoor pedestrian malls in the nation, where walkers can enjoy strolling past nationally recognized restaurants, inviting cafes, locally owned boutiques and independent bookstores, and much more. While the cost of living here can get pretty high, Charlottesville residents say the beautiful surroundings, historical significance, and extensive creature comforts make it all worth it.
16.Blacksburg, Virginia
With nearly two students for every one non-student, it's no wonder that Blacksburg, Virginia caters to the students of Virginia Tech and Radford University. Students can get off campus and enjoy more than 150(!) restaurants, pubs, art galleries, and boutiques in and around Blacksburg's downtown area. For more than just an afternoon or evening away, adventurous students will love Blacksburg's close proximity to the Blue Ridge and Allegheny mountains, where hiking, camping, skiing, and snowboarding opportunities are plentiful depending upon the time of year. Finally, Blacksburg's cost of living is some of the lowest in the state thanks to its massive student population. Still, large employers are based here. The small town has recently become a hub for tech firms and start-ups, and Blacksburg Electronic Village (BEV) has been one of the top employers in town for nearly three decades.
17. Corvallis, Oregon
Ranked by Outside magazine as one of the top 20 places to live in America, little Corvallis, Oregon has a lot to offer residents. Home to Oregon State University, Corvallis has a large student population that mixes well with the local community. Popular pastimes here include anything that has to do with being outdoors (think hiking, biking, camping, skiing, and enjoying Corvallis' many parks) — perhaps this is why residents of Corvallis are said to have a higher life expectancy than those in other Oregon cities. Corvallis has also been ranked one of the smartest towns in America, and major companies like Hewlett-Packard, CH2M Hill, and AVI BioPharma all call Corvallis home. The University receives more research funding than all other public higher education institutions in Oregon combined, giving research-oriented students at the University plenty of opportunities to enjoy land-, sea-, space-, and sun-grants around the Corvallis area.
18.Iowa City, Iowa
Home to the University of Iowa, Iowa City offers its residents a quality of life that has gotten the town plenty of recognition as one of the best places to live in America. The local hospital system is a pride of Iowa City, and University students host an annual 24-hour dance party that has raised more than $15 million for patients at University of Iowa Children's Hospital. But one need not wait for the once-a-year opportunity to attend a dance party — the University consistently ranks as one of the nation's top party schools. On a more sober note, Iowa City has an impressive literary scene, with ties to such writers as Flannery O'Connor, Robert Frost, and Kurt Vonnegut. Each year, the city hosts a variety of book-themed festivals, including the Iowa Writer's Conference. The city is also the only UNESCO City of Literature in the United States.
19. Ames, Iowa
Also in Iowa is Ames, home of Iowa State University, a number of national companies, and a high quality of living. Unemployment here is a super-low 3.2%, thanks in large part to companies like 3M, the U.S. Department of Agriculture National Animal Disease Center, and the national farmer's association. Nearly half of Ames' population is that of college students, so this small town is full of opportunities for a fun and vibrant lifestyle. While downtown Ames offers plenty of restaurants and locally owned shops, most students head off campus to Campustown, a square with amenities that cater almost exclusively to the college population.
20. Amherst, Massachusetts
It shouldn't be surprising that a town located in Happy Valley should be one of the best places in the country in which to live. Home to Amherst College, Hampshire College, and the University of Massachusetts Amherst, the little town of Amherst has a long and interesting history that includes such figures as Robert Frost, Daniel Webster, and Emily Dickinson, among many others. Today, the artist scene thrives in Amherst, and residents have plenty of opportunity for cultural events, theater and concert series, political (almost exclusively Liberal) events, and more. While the cost of living is higher in New England than most other parts of the country, the unemployment rate here is low thanks in large part to the number of large economic centers within easy commuting distance.

The environmental systems on which our society depends are complex and fragile. To understand these systems, environmental scientists need to take an interdisciplinary approach that combines knowledge of the physical, chemical and biological processes that shape our natural environment.
This course will equip you with the analytical, field and laboratory skills to understand the complex interactions between people and the environment. Research-led teaching ensures you are up-to-date with the latest knowledge.
Semesters 1-4 will explore the science behind the global physical, chemical and biological processes that shape our natural environment. We'll also provide training in laboratory and field skills through a series of core and optional modules. This includes a residential fieldtrip to the Lake District.
Semesters 5-8 will provide specialist training in core modules, such as: Environmental Policy and Management; Geographical Information Systems; and Methods and Applications in Environmental Science.
Many students work closely with academics throughout their time and benefit from actively participating in research programmes.
Our alumni contribute to our teaching, as invited speakers and discussion partners. The Faculty also offers a competitive summer bursary programme to provide students with valuable work and research experience.
The modules listed below are those currently intended for delivery in the next academic intake of this course. These may be subject to change as the University regularly revises and refreshes the curriculum of our taught programmes.
We've been awarded five star excellence for our teaching by the QS World University Rankings 2018. Our research-led teaching is at the core of your learning as our staff are world-leaders in Environmental Science research. Our teaching methods include lectures, field and laboratory practical exercises, seminars, and individual and group projects.

There is also easy access to landscapes as diverse as the Scottish Highlands, the Forth Estuary and land degraded through past industrial activities.
A residential field class is held in Year 2. We also offer a choice of optional fieldtrips to southern Spain or Iceland in Year 3, to study unfamiliar environments, develop an understanding of how these landscapes have evolved and the environmental management issues they present.
We use a wide variety of methods to assess your skills broadly. Modules are assessed by a combination of coursework and examinations that include written assignments such as essays and reports, field sketches, presentations, group and individual projects.
Classroom hours vary depending on the modules being studied. Typically you can expect 9 hrs of lectures per week plus between 3 and 9 hrs of practicals.
Environmental Science has a well-established exchange programme with the University of Guelph in Canada. There are also Erasmus agreements in place for the University of Gothenburg (Sweden), the University of Tübingen (Germany) and the University of Wageningen (The Netherlands).
Fees shown are per year (Fees are different for each course)
Scottish/EU Students
Although you're liable for annual tuition fees, students domiciled in Scotland or the EU will be able to apply to the Student Awards Agency for Scotland (SAAS) to have tuition fees paid by the Scottish government on their behalf. If you're unsure of your fee status, you can check your eligibility online.
You will be liable to pay tuition fees for every year you're in attendance, and your fees will be held level upon entry. Please note if you need to extend your period of study, you may be liable for an additional fee.
Important note for EU students
The Scottish Government has confirmed that EU students enrolling in the 2019 and 2020 academic year will be entitled to free tuition fees in Scotland. EU students will retain that status for the duration of their four year degree. The future fee status of EU students enrolling in UK universities will depend on the timing and terms of the UK's exit from the European Union. The University will make decisions on fee levels for EU students enrolling in 2021 when further guidance is available from the Scottish and UK governments, and will publicise information about fee levels and financial support available on our University and Europe information pages.
While students should be aware this may mean a change from the current position where EU students are treated with equivalence to Scottish students, it is also important to note that any changes would also require changes to existing UK and Scottish legislation. Current indications are that the UK would leave the EU at the earliest in 2020, so any changes would not take effect before the academic year 2020/21.
*This tuition fee is set by the Scottish Government, and may be subject to change.
Students from England, Wales and Northern Ireland
If you're domiciled in England, Wales or Northern Ireland, you'll be able to apply for financial assistance, including a loan to cover the full cost of your tuition fees, from your relevant funding body.
You will be liable to pay tuition fees for every year you're in attendance, and your fees will be held level upon entry. Please note if you need to extend your period of study, you may be liable for an additional fee.
If you successfully complete Years 1-3 of your course, you will also be eligible to receive an Honours Year Scholarship valued at £9,250 to cover the tuition fee costs of your fourth and final year of study. Learn more about the Honours Year Scholarship.
There is additional funding available for students from England, Wales and Northern Ireland – please see Funding opportunities below.
*This tuition fee may be subject to change depending on guidance provided by the UK Government.
Overseas (Non-EU) Students
You will be liable to pay fees for every year you're in attendance, and your fees will be held level upon entry. Please note if you need to extend your period of study, you may be liable for an additional fee.
You should expect to pay fees for every year you attend. Fees are subject to revision and may increase annually. Students on programmes of study of more than one year should take this into account when applying.

Last Friday, December 5, Indonesia made their most extreme move against illegal fishing yet.
According to Rappler, three Vietnamese boats, which were found trespassing in the Anambas Islands, were fired at and blown up.
In collaboration with other government agencies, the Indonesian navy sank the three boats.
"The message we want to convey is that no foreigners should steal from Indonesian waters," navy spokesman Manahan Simorangkir said.
He also added that the locals have the right to "benefit from their own waters."
This move is part of President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo's campaign to put a stop to the foreigners fishing illegally in local waters.
The Indonesian economy is experiencing a five-year low, with illegal fishing resulting in a loss in revenue amounting up to billions of dollars.
Besides the monetary disadvantages, the practice also damages the environment with its use of explosives and cyanide.
According to Indonesia's 2009 Fisheries Law, the authorities are allowed to burn or sink foreign vessels found fishing illegally in the country.
In fact, the Jakarta Post reported that 33 of 38 foreign vessels caught encroaching in their waters between 2007 and 2012 were dealt with the same way.
Last month, 33 people were detained and three tonnes of fish were seized from caught ships.
President Jokowi is hopeful that these efforts will help improve the economic slump in Indonesia.

XINJIANG, December 21, Chinadaily -- An oil production operation in a nature reserve in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region has been closed despite the loss of annual output worth hundreds of millions of yuan in order to better protect desert wildlife.
Zhundong Oil Production Plant, a branch of Xinjiang Oilfield of Petro-China that is located in the Junggar Basin, closed 284 oil wells with annual production of 70,000 metric tons of oil in the Kalamayli Nature Reserve, home to endangered animals including the Przewalski's horse, which has first-class national protection. The annual oil output was valued at more than 300 million yuan ($43.5 million).
The Przewalski's horse is the last surviving subspecies of wild horse. There are currently 2,000 remaining worldwide.
"Xinjiang Oilfield has completely stopped production in the reserve, and has finished the sealing and dismantling of the oil wells and restored the environment," said Ling Lisu, deputy director of the company's safety production department.
According to Xie Jianyong, deputy director of the Zhundong Oil Production Plant, the company invested over 800 million yuan in exploration and facilities construction in the reserve over the past few decades, and found proven oil reserves of 12 million tons. It has cost another 200 million yuan to close the wells.
Xie said the company produced a detailed plan to make sure that no pollution would affect the nature reserve during its exit. The company sent all the pumping equipment and other such materials to local recycling centers to ensure they would not damage the environment.
It also repurposed some parts of the pumping facilities' foundations to serve as basins where water can collect for the animals, Xie added.
Sun Quanhui, a scientist with the international NGO World Animal Protection, applauded the move. "With the closing of oil wells and restoration of the environment in the reserve, human production activities have greatly decreased and the habitats of wild animals have begun to recover, which is of great help to their survival and reproduction," Sun said.
Native to China and Mongolia, the Przewalski's horse was on the Red List of Threatened Species of the International Union for Conservation of Nature from the 1960s to 1996. Its status was then reassessed as critically endangered following successful reintroductions.
China imported 18 of the horses in 1985 from several countries and built a breeding center for their preservation. The Wild Horse Breeding Center in Xinjiang now has 411 horses.
In recent years, scientists have been releasing young wild horses into the reserve, a move critical to the animal's protection. Scientists say the presence of the wild horse in natural habitats helps enlarge the gene pool and improves its ability to survive.

Aging Workers, Slowing Productivity: China's Changing Demographics
China is aging and urbanizing. Its productivity rate is slowing and it still favors males. That's all according to new data from China's National Bureau of Statistics, which gives a glimpse at China's 1.37 billion in numbers.
The country's working age population, ages 16 to 59, is shrinking, comprising 66.3% of the population in 2015. The number has slid from 67% a year earlier, 67.6% in 2013 and 69.2% in 2012. Demographers warned China's leaders more than a decade ago about an oncoming labor pool shortage and this year they plan to address it by extending the country's retirement age.
According to the data, overall productivity has increased, but the growth rates are slowing, sliding to 6.6% in 2015 from 7.32% in 2012.
More than half of the country's 1.37 billion have fled the farm to work in cities over the past decade, as part of the government's plan to urbanize the country and boost economic growth. Leaders say they want 60% of the country living in cities by 2020.
China's gender balance has remained the same over the last decade, with males still dominating the population. China is one of 18 countries in the world with a gender ratio above the normal range of 103 to 107 boys to every 100 girls, according to the state-owned China Daily, which says its current ratio is 115.88.

The UConn men's basketball team has had a run on good fortune in recent months, highlighted by Andre Drummond's announcement this summer that he was coming to Storrs. To make room for Drummond on the roster, one of the current players, Michael Bradley, had to give up his scholarship.
It never would have come to that if the NCAA hadn't sanctioned the Huskies for low Academic Progress Rates (APR). With three fewer scholarships, the program needed Bradley's help to get Drummond. Now, according to a report in USA Today, APR scores would have a more immediate impact on those teams who fail to meet the minimum standards.
Teams could be banned from participating in this year's March Madness if they don't reach a new academic threshold, and that threshold could be determined as soon as Friday.
At a Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics meeting Monday, NCAA President Mark Emmert said that the Division I board of directors will be voting on a variety of proposals Friday, and one involves academic requirements for postseason play.
The USA Today adds that, according to Emmert, one proposal, pending approval, would immediately implement a baseline acceptable Academic Progress Rate requirement for postseason play of 900, which would include the 2012 NCAA men's basketball tournament.
The Huskies' APR score last April? 893, which led to the reduction in scholarships. It also means that if these rules had been in place last season, UConn wouldn't have been eligible for the NCAA Tournament. And who knows, that might've affected the Huskies' recruiting class (including Drummond), as well as coach Jim Calhoun's decision to return for another year.
Emmert also said that the APR requirement would be raised to 930 in 24 months, again pending approval. These APRs were calculated to target a 50 percent graduation rate.
The Hartford Courant's Dom Amore writes that the Huskies' have made progress regarding the APR, but just how much remains unclear. "We've been hearing that UConn's program had a very good score last year, so its possible they've improved. But even a perfect score of 1,000 probably wouldn't raise UConn's four-year rolling average to 900, my colleague, Mike Anthony, reported last May."

I gaze into the early morning, step confidently into it, and take a breath.
Yes, I keep reminding myself to stop. Breathe. Relax. Re-generate. With God's help and your prayers, I will honestly try. And in doing so, I will seek peace only in Jesus. I will receive the peace He gives. I will embrace the peace He has left me. I will seek it eagerly. I will look for peaceful and still moments for my soul to breathe and the Father time to speak words of life and rest into my weary mind and depleted spirit.
[Do not merely desire peaceful relations with God,
with your fellowmen, and with yourself, but pursue, go after them!]"
1 Peter 3:11 Amp.
And the question runs deep: Do you love to love me?
Within this love a sure trust is found...
....And therein is peace.

I like to think that I'm a quirky person, but not in a pretentious manic pixie dream girl kind of quirky. I have my ways of doing things that might be weird to other people, but I'm not going to change those ways any time soon because it works for me.
Recently I've been thinking about how my snowflake self may differ from most other bookworms, and it's mainly because of the amount of (i think) cringeworthy memes that Goodreads posts on social media all the time. You know which ones I mean. The ones that low-key act like bookworms are the superior beings on Earth just because we read, when actually that's not true and we're just the same as everyone else. Those memes. yeah, i don't like them very much.
Anyways, here are some of my bookish quirks!
there's no point to this gif, btw. jyushimatsu is just the quirkiest character i could think of.
mapping out how much i'm going to read 📑
I'm a strategic person when it comes to certain things, and I like some things to have a set structure to them. I always start watching a movie on the hour, and I always have to read a certain amount of chapters (or pages if there are no numbered chapters for ~aesthetic~ reasons) or else I'll think I'm failing at reading things on time. I have ASD so that's just how it is for me.
Because my concentration has taken a huge blow in recent years, I can only read one book a week. Just one. I can't do multiples at a time because my brain refuses to work that hard, and reading should not be stressful. This is why I never do well at readathons. Just sitting down to read as much as I can in a day is not something I can do because I end up going stir-crazy from being on my butt all day and I need to do more than just one thing.
The way that I set out how much to read is by carefully going to the back of the book to see how many chapters there are and then dividing that by seven, or fourteen if it's a particularly long book. But I very rarely read long-ass books so that doesn't happen often. Sometimes I'll read more than that if the book is particularly exciting, and sometimes it'll take me longer if it's boring. I'm not a fast reader, so all that matters to me is that I'm reading in the first place.
soft DNF-ing 🛑
I'm sure other people do this, but I don't know if anybody gave it a name. Basically, "soft" DNF-ing is when you stop reading a book before you finish it with the intention of going back and starting it again later. You've more than likely done it before, and I do it quite a lot.
I haven't "hard" DNF-d a book in quite some time because I haven't found any books that I felt that strongly about and instead I've been simply putting them down to come back to later, especially if it doesn't feel like the right time to read them. Even though I say that I'm not a mood reader and can contradict myself because it's my life and I can contradict myself if I want to.
watching the movie first 🎬
I'm very likely in the minority here but I don't think it matters whether you read the book first or not. I also don't think that the book is always better because it's a book. Fight me.
Sometimes there are cases where I simply don't want to read the book first because I either can't be bothered or I didn't want to in the first place. It's essentially the same story, so it doesn't bother me at all. Sometimes I just didn't know that the movie was based on a book. It happens. I just don't think it's always necessary to force yourself to read the original text just because you want to watch the movie. I love watching the Naruto anime, but there is no way I'm ever going to continue reading the original manga because I simply don't have the time, space, or money for it. I don't care if it's more "accurate" or if there's no filler, it's 72 books long and there are other things I want to read.
Oh, and I know people won't like this, but I have a little tip for when watching movies based on books that you've already read: if you don't spend the whole running time picking it apart and deciding if the movie is "right" or "wrong", you'll enjoy it more. Trust me.
ignoring the bookish community (sometimes) 📵
The bookish community is awesome but can be so exhausting to be a part of sometimes. There are times where it feels to me like there's a pressure to confirm and read the same books as everyone else and to have the same opinions as everyone else. The whole "what do you mean you 'don't like Harry Potter'" thing is one that comes straight to mind (and one that's also dying down thanks to Rowling making a fool of herself). I don't always want to read what everyone is reading, I want to read what I want to read.
And that brings me to something I've seen a few people do on Twitter: using emotional manipulation to get people to read certain books. Usually diverse books, which is something that we should not do. What I mean is someone tweeting about a book and when their followers don't really respond they do the whole "oh, so I guess nobody cares about diversity". Please do not do this, it's emotionally manipulative. Diverse books are important and should be promoted more than they have been, but manipulation is not the way to do it. Being recommended books is great but when someone asks you how you found a book, saying "someone I follow on Twitter said that if I don't read and enjoy this book I hate marginalised people" is a weird answer.

Neurological Day Rehabilitation Program
The Neurological Day Rehab program offers the intense therapies many patients need, as well as nursing, case management and a respite area between therapies.
Many patients with neurological conditions continue to improve long after discharge from an inpatient rehabilitation setting. Some patients with neurological conditions who are medically stable and able to go home may benefit from two or even three therapies per day.
At Bacharach, patients in the Neurological Day Rehab program may receive physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech and language therapy, cognitive therapy, or some combination of therapies. Depending on the doctor's recommendation, patients may come two days per week or three days per week.
Patients in the Neurological Day Rehab Program may have had a stroke, or Parkinsons Disease, traumatic or non-traumatic brain injury, concussion, cerebral palsy, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM), multiple sclerosis, Guillen-barre Syndrome or other neurological conditions.
If there is time between therapy appointments, patients are welcome to relax, read, watch television or socialize in our Day Rehab suite. Our Day Rehab nurse will monitor each patient and act as a case manager and liaison between patient, family, physician and therapy team.
Day rehab patients may be eligible for transportation to and from the program, depending upon insurance and other factors. Please ask the Day Rehab nurse for more infomation about transportation options.
Once patients have completed the Neurological Day Rehab Program, many go on to receive outpatient physical or occupational therapy in another setting.
