JOURNALIST JARGONSTUDYTOWN, Ind. — Developing effective study habits is essential for a child's academic success.

Typically, children who have good study skills perform better in the classroom, while students with weak study skills can become frustrated, waste time and receive low grades.

“Study skills a basic building blocks. They make learning more enjoyable and help students build confidence in the classroom and in life,” said Dr. Brooke Smarts. “These skills include time management, keeping organized, note-taking and test-taking strategies. Students with these skills enjoy school more, have less stress and, of course, bring home better report cards.”

Learning to learn betterEducation experts recommend

various strategies to help students improve their study habits.

Smarts says the top skill to learn is how to manage time better.

“Students lead busy lives,” she said. “Children should be encouraged to estimate the time they’ll spend on a homework assignment and work efficiently to complete it within that timeframe.”

An assignment that seems overwhelming at first glance can be less intimidating when tackled a

little at a time. Students can learn to break complex activities and projects into smaller tasks that can be completed a segment at a time.

Chart a course Smarts’ next

tip is to get organized.

“Organization reduces forgotten assignments and late

nights cramming for tests,” she said.A color-coded binder for each

subject helps some students stay on track.

“Each student is unique,” Smarts said. “Experiment to determine what works best for how you study.”

TREETON, Ind. — It’s routine for many on an average workday: climb out of bed, hop in a car and brave the slow-moving traffic to work. No thought required — right?

Wrong.

A little green considerationNixing that drive and opting for

public transportation benefits the environment, and making a choice to do that is a real no-brainer.

A carbon footprint is the total amount of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases emitted throughout the full life-cycle of a person, product or service. According to a study released by the American Public Transportation Association, when compared to other household actions to limit carbon dioxide, taking public transportation can be more than 10 times greater in

reducing harmful greenhouse gases.“Public transportation use should

be at the top of the list of ways for households to become greener,” according to Amanda Steppup, a local bus-riding lobbyist. “Switching to public transit gives a person the opportunity to immediately become part of the solution to help reduce carbon dioxide.”

While it’s important to increase green efforts within the home, many indoor changes don’t reduce carbon dioxide levels at the rate that using public transportation can.

“A single commuter who choose to switch to public transportation can reduce his daily carbon dioxide emissions by 20 pounds,” Steppup said. “And that alone can lessen a household's carbon footprint up to 10 percent annually.”

Replacing an older refrigerator with a new, more efficient model has carbon savings of 335 pounds a year.

Weatherizing a home and adjusting the thermostat for heating and cooling can save up to 2,847 pounds a year. But switching a commute to public transportation saves 4,800 pounds — about 2,000 pounds more a year. In fact, opting for public transportation is one of the most significant actions a household can take to immediately and significantly reduce its carbon footprint.

In addition, public transportation

provides benefits beyond carbon dioxide reductions. In an age when preserving the environment is a priority, taking your foot off the gas pedal is one way to do just that.

HISTORIA, Ind. —Sarah Margaret Fuller Ossoli was born in 1810 in Cambridge, Mass. Her father, a lawyer and politician, encouraged her classical education. From 1836 to 1839, Fuller taught school.

Fuller became friends with Ralph Waldo Emerson, then as one of the lead-ers of the transcendentalism movement, became an essayist and editor of The Dial, the movement's journal.

In the mid-1840s, Fuller organized women's discussion groups that debated a variety of subjects and were attended by some of the major figures in the women's rights movement. She turned these ideas into the book "Woman in the 19th Century."

In 1844, Fuller landed a job as a lit-erary critic at the New York Tribune, becoming the first female journalist to work on the staff of a major newspaper. She had a front-page column discussing art, social reform and literature.

In 1846, Fuller was sent to Europe as a foreign correspondent. She inter-viewed prominent writers and traveled in England, France and Italy. In Italy, she met Giovanni Ossoli. They married and had a son.

In 1849, Fuller volunteered at a hospi-tal and met Florence Nightingale while

ACTIVE, Ind. — Every day, 8- to 18-year-olds spend nearly four hours watching TV or videos, more than an hour on the computer and 50 minutes playing video games. That amounts to nearly six hours a day in front of a screen.

But health experts warn that too much screen time throws off a person’s energy balance, making it difficult to maintain a healthy weight. Energy

balance is the balance between the amount of calories you burn through physical activity (energy out) and the amount of calories you consume (energy in). Too much energy in without enough energy out is a formula for weight gain.

To help maintain a healthy weight, it's important to keep energy balance in mind.

choices and increased physical activity. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend that children

Researchers find ancient StonehengeBy Ivana PancakeScoopy .Staff .Writer

STONEHENGE, England — Researchers have uncovered a village that may have been home to the builders of Stonehenge, the mysterious circular stone monument in England.

The village of small houses dates back to about 2,600 B.C. and are at a site known as Durrington Walls, about two miles from Stonehenge.

Stonehenge is thought to have been a memorial site or cemetery for the villagers. The village also had a wooden version of the stone circle. It may have been used by people attending festivals at Stonehenge.

Eight of the houses have been excavated, or dug up. Researchers say there may be as many as 25. The wooden houses were square and about 14 feet along each side. There are signs of bed frames along the walls and of a

Press goes to Hollywoodn “Citizen Kane” is considered one of the best films of all time. It was the debut work of Orson Welles, who was only 25.

The main character in the film is Charles Foster Kane, likely modeled after real-life publisher William Randolph Hearst. It’s believed that Hearst pressured Welles’ studio to delay the film’s release and limit its distribution, resulting in its first-release commercial failure.

Despite this, the movie won an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay.
