Great Lakes beaches are vital to our economy, ecology and way of life. Keeping beaches healthy is our responsibility. Great Lakes Restoration funding is critical for improving our beaches by providing dollars for public education, monitoring to pinpoint pollution sources, projects to eliminate pollution sources, and monitoring to ensure restoration success.
The document appears to be a record of students' quiz scores. It includes each student's identification number, year of enrollment, last and first names, and their scores on 4 quizzes as well as their average quiz score. There are 27 students listed along with their quiz scores and calculated averages.
This workshop will explore state-level Green Chemistry initiatives and chemicals policy reform efforts, which aim to protect public health and the ecosystems in the Great Lakes basin. Participants will learn how chemicals policy is an integral aspect of Great Lakes restoration, and how green chemistry fits into this discussion.
The Alliance for Water Stewardship Beta International Water Stewardship Standard provides a roadmap for companies and utilities to follow towards sustainable water use. Participants will learn about the Alliance, how the Standard can help transform water management, and how to help improve the Standard before it is finalized in 2014. This presentation was given by Kathryn Buckner, President, Council of Great Lakes Industries.

The document summarizes the opposition to a proposed 25-meter mobile telecommunications mast over the village of Lastingham in the North York Moors National Park in England. It provides three alternative proposals that would provide mobile coverage while preserving the landscape and being more cost effective. The alternatives include a shared tree mast camouflaged in the valley near existing infrastructure, a BT Openreach mobile infill solution using existing poles, and an EE micro network of small discrete antennas within the village. The document argues these alternatives address concerns about resilience, environmental impact, and value for money better than the proposed mast.
User-tailored Inter-Widget Communication Extending the Shared Data Interface ...Hendrik Drachsler
This document discusses user-tailored inter-widget communication (IWC) by extending the shared data interface for the Apache Wookie widget engine. It presents a new design that allows widgets to send and receive data from each other and third party services based on the user's preferences. This is demonstrated through a search widget that sends search terms to other widgets like a blog reader. The implementation uses a shared data key in JavaScript to enable two-way communication between widgets. This approach aims to create more personalized learning environments by orchestrating widget services based on a user's learning goals.
Approximately 12.5 million tons of cargo is shipped annually in the Cleveland Harbor. To maintain this federal navigation channel, an average of approximately 300,000 cubic yards of sediment is dredged every year. Dredged sediments from the Cuyahoga River do not meet Ohio EPA standards for open lake placement. Existing confined disposal facilities (CDFs) are near design capacity and the cost and challenges to locate, design and construct new CDFs cannot be completed under current U.S. ACE budgets. Also, this work could not be accomplished before the existing CDF capacity is exhausted. The Port Authority is completing a sustainable sediment management study to identify and evaluate both near and long-term solutions to address this crisis. Presenters will share research findings and study results regarding the expanded use of existing CDFs through increased capacity, beneficial use for upland site restoration, and creation of beneficial use products, among others. This “Science of the Great Lakes” session will also include planned steps for implementation of study recommendations.

This document promotes Syria as a hub of civilization and culture with a diverse business field and exciting destinations across mountains, canyons, and fields. It notes that beyond infrastructure, Syria offers friendly people who are welcoming, helpful, and unmatched in hospitality. It concludes by asking to leave Syria alone since they do not have oil.
