   Le Moyne's new science building is not just a place for students to learn. It's part of the lesson. 

The sustainable features of the new science building include trombe walls, which absorb heat from the sun during the day and emit that heat throughout the building at night, numerous windows for sunlight harvesting to reduce heating and electricity costs, and a live roof, which conserves heat and reduces storm water runoff.  

Record Paradise: The Musical Life of Joe Lee follows Lee through his off-kilter musical world. A product of two of Maryland's seminal families -- the Lees and the Blairs -- Joe was kicked out of prep school and rejected the world of politics and business that so many in his family embraced. Instead, he opened a record store in the early 1970s, which soon became a hub of music and the counterculture. Joe leads the camera from the warm and diverse community in his record store to the basements, stages, galleries and recording studios where he and the music of Baltimore and Washington coincide.
