A college education is out.of reach for most state and federal prisoners.California' a San Quentin is one of the few prisons in the country that offers college - level courses.

Jody Lewen has run the prison' s college program for over a decade and she' s the reason that die Prison University Project exists today.When Lewen joined San Quentin' s college program in 1999 as a volunteer instructor, it was run by a small volunteer staff with no budget.At that time, she was a graduate student, with plans to return to academic research.But a year later, when the part - time director suddenly quit, Lewen found herself in charge.

Under Lewen's leadership, the Prison University Project has expanded, now offering 20 classes in English, math, social science and Spanish.Three hundred prisoners enroll (入学) every year, earning college credits which can lead to an associate of arts degree.So far, 100 San Quentin prisoners have graduated with associate' s degrees and many more have continued their college studies after release.

"This experience really has changed my life.It' s given me a lot of tools on how to express myself," says Charles Spence, who is serving a life sentence in San Quentin."This program is really rare in the prison setting, so I'm really lucky."

Research shows that the more education a prisoner has, the less likely he is to return to prison.Lewen says the chance for those with college degrees back into prison is less than 10 percent.

But the Prison University Project receives no government funding. Lewen would like to see college programs in every prison, but without government support, it' s not likely to happen any time soon.In the meantime, there's a long waiting list of San Quentin prisoners who want to enroll in the college program.Some day, Lewen hopes to expand her program, making a college education available for most of prisoners at San Quentin.

In its first ever National Building Competition, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) challenged the teams from across the nation to cut wasteful energy use in buildings where they live and work.Family and commercial ladings together consume 40 percent of U.S. energy and the Obama Administration is eager to show how that load can be reduced.

In recent remarks at a university.President Barack Obama promoted a plan that could help commercial buildings achieve greater energy efficiency (效率).

"Making our buildings more energy - efficient is one of the fastest, easiest and cheapest ways to save money, fight against pollution and create jobs right here in the United States of America," he said.He also inspected the research labs where scientists are working on new technologies designed to cut energy waste in commercial buildings.

Stores like the Sears department store in Maryland, which took second prize in the contest, are already using some of those technologies.As part of the store's bid to cut its energy use, every one of the building's 24 rooftop AC (交流电) units was checked and repaired.Every light bulb —all 15,000 of them—was replaced with a more efficient one.And sensors were installed (安装)to shut lights off in offices and storerooms when no one is around.Taken together these changes helped the Sears store reduce its building energy consumption by more than one —third and cut electric bills by $ 46,000.

Office buildings can also achieve impressive energy savings.The tenants of a 12—story building in Virginia managed to cut the building' s energy consumption by 28 percent as part of the EPA competition.

"Whether it' s an office building or a department store, a school or church, the EPA energy challenge showed that there's always room for improvement", says an official with the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy,
