OK, so I have done just about all that I can think of to be the change I want to see (in the world and me). It started with my father who would not let us leave a light on in a room we were not occupying. That meant that even if we were staying at a motel we could not do so: "But, Dad, this is not our house" we kids would implore. "We are still paying for the electricity we are not using," he would explain. We could not let water run and my father would turn off the shower water in between soaping up and rinsing off. It was a strict indoctrination, and please know, interestingly enough, that this was in the '60s and '70s.
Former Gov. Angus King and Great Works Internet have opened a global window for low-income kids in Maine with their new Web- access initiative. An Internet connection is as common as phone or cable service in most homes, but it falls low on the priority list for families struggling to make ends meet. While not as vital for day-to-day existence as heating oil or electricity, a home-based link to the Web is a tool for kids to explore the world they live in, expand their minds and grow their imagination.
WASHINGTON - More than 32 mostly coal-fired power plants in a dozen states will be forced to shut down and an additional 36 might have to close because of new federal air pollution regulations, according to an Associated Press survey. Together, those plants - some of the oldest and dirtiest in the country - produce enough electricity for more than 22 million households, the AP survey found. But their demise probably won't cause homes to go dark.

It's not my job as a higher education administrator to compete with the private sector. But if I don't get something started with entrepreneurial students-some of these sauces kids are developing, or foods or, in our case, helping to get a businesses started-if I don't hold their hand and get it going, nobody is. We're the best option they have and we are the economic engine, ultimately. We're not going to attract a large company to come here from Timbuktu and set up a manufacturing plant; we've got to grow our own, and those people are sitting in our classrooms. They're the people with ideas, and the energy, and the passion to build new businesses. A: I don't really worry about that. I'm very proud that we're an ag-and-tech school and I don't apologize for being called Moo-ville. I'm p...

What did you do to celebrate Earth Day? I watched little kids make art out of what could have been trash at Russell Memorial Library on Taylor Road. They created fish, animals and strange- looking critters out of recycled materials after reading "green" stories and singing "green" songs. Just as children before them learned not to litter, these kids learned their lessons as well. They understood what it means to recycle and what recycling means to the Earth. When they were asked how to save water, electricity and paper, I was amazed and pleased to hear them say the right answers at such young ages: don't run the water while brushing your teeth; turn off the lights when you leave the room; use both sides of a sheet of paper. These are good habits for all ages. All I remember from studyin...

It doesn't hurt, I promise. I wouldn't do anything to hurt you," Bonita High School freshman Danielle De Herrera, 14, assured 5-year- old Angela Morales, a kindergartner at Kingsley Elementary School in Pomona. Nearly 100 La Verne students in Bonita's accelerated freshman core program went beyond double borders in late May. They took 18 student-to-student science lessons they developed to a Pomona school for the first time and continued their out-of-the-box-and-book experiences with elementary students accustomed to more traditional approaches to science.

EAST HAVEN -- Anthony Midolo had several interests in life, among them carpentry, electricity -- and playing the piano. "My stepfather liked to join in whenever my brother Kevin (Douglas of East Haven) or I were working on a project," said stepson Earle Douglas of Wallingford. "When he and Kevin were about to make a cut and Kevin was making the measurement, he would say: 'On this, you follow the line.' This is an old carpenter's term that means when you make the cut, you are cutting just on the other side of the line. As for playing the piano, Earle owns a piano. "Whenever my stepdad came by the house, he would sit down and play our piano, which inspired my two kids to take up the piano," said Earle Douglas.
When they arrived in town, they found a city without electricity and other basic services. First, [Allen Lewis] checked at the Holiday Inn where he is employed to see if he could get back to work. The police had turned part of the hotel into a temporary jail. They asked him to leave, so the three men went to get a generator from the karate school [Billy Kelley] runs. While waiting for a ride from Billy (who had gone to get a car) near the school, a patrol car pulled up. An officer got out and, unprovoked, hit Lewis with the butt of his assault rifle, Lewis and [Broderick Kelley] say. The officer, listed as W. Crain on the arrest report, then slammed Lewis to the ground, which was littered with broken glass and called Lewis a "nigger," according to Lewis and Broderick. In the process, Le...
