I’ve looked into usgbc leed. It has sparked some interest in the last couple of years. Actually, it has sparked a lot of interest. I’ve also looked at the leed courses. Being leed certified is the way of the future. Knowing about LEED is something that every contractor, builder, designer, and engineer needs to have in his or her toolbox. I think it is a pretty good asset, and a great selling point for anybody looking to advance their career. As a long time civil engineer, I’ve found that expanding your certification range can really help increase your income. It makes you a much more viable professional, and it keeps you up to date with the latest standards. Being up to date is very important with all the changes in technology. With these great strides you need to embrace the changes, and adapt to become a successful professional.
Standards are not only important, but they are required for any type of government contract. It is important that you follow these standards to comply with any government policy. Become an LEED professional, and receiving certification will help you understand the standards in place for being ‘green’. This is the direction the world is heading.

I recently moved to a new city and started running with a new crowd of friends. A handful of them go to a “culinary training institute” downtown. They all seem like nice, down to earth people, but I’m worried about offending them.
I’ve been able to watch my mouth so far, but I get a little “simple-tongued” after drinking a little and a couple of times I almost let phrases like “culinary cooking schools” and “cooking schools” slip instead “culinary arts” and the like. Like I said, they don’t seem like the type to get offended over a little lingual gaffe, but I don’t like to offend people.
I guess I could just keep watching my mouth, but I can’t help but wondering if “cooking school” and similar variations are offensive to people in the culinary world.
You know, I work for a magazine and people ask me about journalism school. It sounds a little simpler than the effort my degree entailed, but I’m not insulted. Maybe a better example is that I work on my MFA in creative writing part time, and people refer to it as writing school. Now, that really simplifies what I am doing, but it seems to be acceptable.
They need to offer classes for these types of social issues.
