Southeastern Louisiana University and the University of North Texas  are working together on a National Science Foundation grant "Middle Schoolers Out to Save the World."  SLU lab school teachers Kayla Lamonte, Jennifer Simon, and Donna Arnone and other teachers from Massachusetts, Maine, Vermont, Louisiana, and Texas are being trained in measuring parasitic/vampire/standby power usage in our handheld appliances and how it affects global warming.  MSOSW is a two year project and these teachers all flew to Stowe, Vermont for their training.
