Vision Statement:
The vision of the United Way Regional Volunteer Center is to build capacity throughout Northwest Indiana by promoting volunteerism.
In 2003 the United Way of Porter County added the Volunteer Center as an initiative to increase the capacity of the non profit community in Porter County by promoting volunteerism. In April, 2003 the Volunteer Center launched Volunteer Solutions, a web based software that allows non profit organizations to post their volunteer opportunities and the public to connect with an agency of interest easily, quickly, and efficiently.
In 2007 services were expanded to Lake, LaPorte and Starke counties and the name was changed to the United Way Regional Volunteer Center. To serve the non profit community in the other counties, a Volunteer Coordinator is housed at the Lake Area United Way to serve the needs of Lake County, and a Volunteer Coordinator is also housed at the United Way of Porter County to serve Porter and Starke counties. LaPorte County joined the Regional Volunteer Center in 2012, with an AmeriCorps member to serve as the Volunteer Coordinator.
Welcome to the United Way Regional Volunteer Center website! This is your one-stop-shop for volunteering, so join up, respond to needs, fan our agencies, and RSVP to events! And of course, LIVE UNITED.
Register Today, Save a Life Tomorrow
In the event of a local, large-scale emergency, community volunteers and medical professionals like YOU are critical to saving lives. By registering before a crisis, local officials can quickly mobilize volunteers if diaster strikes.

Panther girls upended by N-K, H-LP
Corwith-Wesley-LuVerne's girls met up with Northwood-Kensett (Jan. 17) and Harris-Lake Park (Jan. 18) last week and lost by games by scores of 66-40 and 59-14.
The Panthers, 1-13 overall on the season, wed led in scoring by Megen Studer with five points in their game with H-LP. Cold shooting hampered the Panthers.
The night before at home with N-K, Sadie Poldervaart scored 17 points, grabbed six rebounds and blocked five shots in a 66-40 setback to N-K. Studer was next with 11 points.
"We're playing as hard as we can with what we've got," CWL coach Kevin McPeak said. "The Studer girl is playing well, but she gets keyed on a lot. She's getting double and triple-teamed and so we need the other girls to become more consistent. At times we look really good, like we did against Northwood-Kensett. But other moments we would fall apart. Sadie had a nice game against N-K."
CWL hosted CAL on Jan. 21 in a make up game from Dec. 20. They visit West Bend on Jan. 25 and travel to North Union on Jan. 29.

Sammy Hagar joked with the crowd. James Hetfield got real. Billie Joe Armstrong and Pat Monahan had everyone singing along.
The stars charmed in very different ways during the first annual Acoustic-4-A-Cure benefit concert on Thursday at the Fillmore. Yet, they all added something to the equation, resulting in a very enjoyable evening of music.
It's was Hagar's brainchild. The Bay Area's famed Red Rocker, who was enshrined into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Van Halen in 2007, was looking for a way to support the Pediatric Cancer Program at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital.

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- According to the National Institutes of Health, a study found that "women who had sufficient amounts of vitamin D were 32 percent less likely to develop fibroids than women with insufficient vitamin D." The results were released in a press release from the National Institutes of Health on Monday.
Fibroids, or uterine leiomyomata, are non-cancerous tumors of the uterus. They cause pain and bleeding in premenopausal women, and are the leading cause of hysterectomy in the United States, according to NIH.
The study's 1,036 participants were women between the ages of 35 and 49, living in the D.C. area from 1996 to 1999, say NIH officials.
Donna Baird, Ph.D., a researcher at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, and her collaborators at The George Washington University and the Medical University of South Carolina screened participants for fibroids using ultrasound, according to NIH. They used blood samples to measure the primary circulating form of vitamin D, also known as 25-hydroxy D. Those with more than 20 nanograms per milliliter of 25-hydroxy D were categorized as sufficient, say NIH officials.
Study participants answered a questionnaire on sun exposure. Participants who reported staying outside in the sun for more than an hour each day also had a decreased risk of fibroids, according to the study results. The estimated reduction was 40 percent, says NIH.
According to NIH, Baird says more studies are needed, and is conducting a study in Detroit to see if the findings from D.C. can be replicated.

NORFOLK, Va. (AP) – The votes are in, and the Virginia Zoo's baby siamang will be called Lola.
Lola captured 46 percent of the vote in contest to name the Norfolk zoo's baby siamang, a large species of gibbon native to the rainforests of Southeast Asia.
Lola was born on Aug. 20, but zoo staff needed some time to confirm her sex because the baby apes constantly cling to their mothers for the first few months of life. Once they determined she was a girl, the zoo asked for suggestions.
The name Lola beat out three other finalists.
Siamangs have black shaggy hair and a naked face. They grow up to 35 inches in length and 28 pounds.
Like their larger orangutan cousins, habitat loss is threatening their survival in the wild.

Thoughts of an awesome threesome - California, Arizona and Nevada - have possibly entered your mind at least once. Start this boys and girls gone 'wild western' phase, beach-bound in beautiful San Diego. Back stateside, you're doing the desert - multi-cultural musings in Arizona, and multi-millions (you hope) along the Las Vegas Strip. Then you're going back to Cali to finish with Hollywood glitz, Santa Barbara charm and San Francisco sightseeing.

Since we had discussed Nicolas Cages vampirism yesterday, it only seems fit to disprove a similar rumor that revolves around Keanu Reeves.
The Internet is an eternal rumor mill that can easily alter one's life, either for better or worse. Glenn Beck, for example, was the receiver of the Internets attention when this question was brought forward: Did Glenn Beck rape and murder a young girl in 1990? So many individuals began to Google this question that Glenn Beck murder was the #1 search suggestion for anyone typing in Glenn Beck.
If you type Keanu Reeves into Google's search bar, Keanu Reeves immortal is the third suggested search, and here's why:
That is Paul Mounet, born in 1847, who became a doctor and a professional French actor. Mounet starred in numerous films, plays, and movies, building for himself a very prominent career as an actor. Mounet died of heart disease in 1922, but the Internet has taken upon itself to say that this fact is actually false. Mounet's body, numerous websites claim, was never found after his death, which, combined with his resemblance to Keanu, can only mean that Mounet is actually Keanu, who is immortal. (We need to start a new line of Halloween costumes that specialize in obscure celebrity rumors.)
Right, because thats not an illogical leap at all. Two pictures look alike and people are all of sudden claiming that the individual has found the fountain of youth, forever living and aging and blessing us average humans with their immortal presence.
I'll just leave this here:
And yes, Keanu does have a remarkable resistance to aging, especially for someone living in a career field as stressful as acting. One only has to look at the picture below to see how little life's worries have affected his skin complexion. Someone needs to find his secret and inform the rest of us.
Its clearly obvious that Keanu is not an immortal being, since his skin does show small signs of aging. Unless, of course, the immortal trait is only an effect of a larger issue! But what could possibly allow one to age, yet also allow them to regain their youthfulness whenever desired? I might have to go ask vampire Nicolas Cage about that one.

Moms are on the go, go, go…carpooling kids, working out of the home and shopping for their families and the holidays. In their roles as breadwinners and caregivers, it is estimated that moms will spend approximately $2.1 trillion in 2011 – up 24% since 1999. Add their "purchase influence" to that and it is easy to see that moms impact virtually every advertising category – from retail to pharmaceutical to automotive to entertainment.
At that spend rate, moms are a marketer's dream target…but alas, an on-the-go, hard-to-hit, moving target!
There's no slowing down moms so broadcasters are mobilizing and joining their on-the-go movement. In an unprecedented initiative, local TV broadcasters are banding together to provide a free, over-the-air mobile signal to moms (and other viewers) across the country. TV stations are rolling out Mobile Digital Television (MDTV) and in doing so, are putting their live, broadcast TV programming in motion and in the hands of busy moms.
The technology is complicated, but the result is simple. With MDTV, mobile devices – including laptops, DVD players, tablets and smart phones – become portable TV sets. So, when moms get up and go, go, go…their TVs and favorite shows will be right there with them.
The broadcaster-led Open Mobile Video Coalition recently conducted a live showcase of Mobile DTV in Washington DC. Nine television stations broadcast mobile signals to several hundred viewers equipped with MDTV-enabled laptops, DVD players and smart phones. According to viewing data and user insights collected by Rentrak and Harris, households with kids were among the heaviest viewing segments.
The showcase demonstrated that Mobile DTV appeals to busy moms and on-the-go families for several reasons: ease-of-use/simplicity; convenience; quick escape from the daily grind; entertainment; access to local and breaking news; keeping kids entertained while running errands; and keeping moms entertained and connected during idle time such as waiting at soccer practice or afterschool pick up.
Today, nearly six in ten moms report having a smart phone and 62% use the mobile Internet on a regular basis – that's a 22% increase vs. two years ago according to research reported by BabyCenter.com. As Mobile DTV rolls out, moms will have the added "at-your-fingertips" benefit of free, over-the-air television. In addition to having immediate access to broadcast news and programming, they'll be able to save the cost of expensive data plans and the hassle of dropped calls due to cellular congestion, because the signal comes from the TV station not the Internet.
As TV stations "light up" Mobile DTV in markets of every size across the country, advertisers benefit too. Mobile DTV offers new opportunities to reach moms where they live, work and shop. Not only will advertisers be able to put 30- and 60- second spots literally in the hands of their dream-shoppers and purchase-influencers, but the built-in interactivity will provide creative and effective extensions to national, regional and local ad campaigns.
Moms are on the go. With Mobile Digital TV, broadcasters are joining their movement and inviting advertisers to get mobilized.

Justin Bieber's Monkey Was Stopped at Customs in Germany
We don't know if JUSTIN BIEBER actually adopted a monkey, or if he just borrowed one to travel around Europe with him. But either way, he wasn't allowed to bring it into Germany.
--Customs officials at the Munich airport actually confiscated Justin's monkey, because he didn't have the proper paperwork to bring it into the country. If it's really his, we assume he'll pick it up when he leaves, but he'll have to pay a fine and the cost of its quarantine.
--He has shows scheduled in Germany through Saturday.
Will Kourtney Kardashian Carry a Baby for Khloe?
Last night on "Kourtney & Kim Take Miami", KOURTNEY KARDASHIAN discussed the possibility of carrying a baby for her sister KHLOE and her husband LAMAR ODOM.
--Kourtney's boyfriend SCOTT DISICK didn't sound cool about it at first. He said, quote, "You don't just go putting babies in other sisters because you can." But he later said he understood, and he wanted Khloe and Lamar to be happy.
--But Khloe herself didn't necessarily commit to the idea
Lindsay Lohan Hid Under a Table at a Club
After filming her guest spot on "Anger Management", LINDSAY LOHAN flew to Brazil, where she's being paid at least $100,000 to pimp a new John John Denim store in Sao Paolo.
--When she arrived in one city on a helicopter, she was wearing such a flimsy, loose-fitting dress that she showed a TON of side-boob.
--Then one night at a club, she HID UNDER A TABLE because she didn't want people bothering her for pictures. Yes, she sat right on the floor under the table.
--At least up to this point, no one seems to have evidence that Lindsay drank anything but water. She has until May 2nd to enroll in rehab.
Cory Monteith is in Rehab
"Glee" star CORY MONTEITH has checked into rehab. His rep says, quote, "[Cory] has voluntarily admitted himself to a treatment facility for substance addiction.
--"He graciously asks for your respect and privacy as he takes the necessary steps towards recovery."
--Cory is 30, and was in rehab once before . . . when he was 19.
--His girlfriend and "Glee" co-star LEA MICHELE says, quote, "I love and support Cory and will stand by him through this. I am grateful and proud he made this decision."
--She also Tweeted, quote, "Feeling so grateful today."
KISS Has Teamed Up with "Hello Kitty" for a New Animated Show . . . Have They Finally Crossed the Line?
KISS is notorious for "selling out" and commercializing their brand to the extreme . . . but this may be the most RIDICULOUS thing they've ever done.
--KISS has a partnership with the 'Hello Kitty' brand . . . and they recently announced that there's going to be a new animated series on the Hub network called "KISS Hello Kitty".
--GENE SIMMONS will co-produce the show. He says, quote, "We are incredibly excited about this opportunity and want to make all our millions of fans worldwide proud of a show they can watch with the whole family."
--It's too early to say when the show might premiere.
"G.I. Joe" Won the Easter Weekend Box Office
"G.I. Joe: Retaliation" won the Easter weekend box office, taking in $51.7 million since its release on Thursday. That's not quite as good as the original, "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra", which made $54.7 million in its opening in 2009.
--As for the other new movies this weekend, "Tyler Perry's Temptation" finished in 3rd place with $22.3 million . . . while that STEPHENIE MEYER movie "The Host" was kind of a flop, making just $11 million in 6th place. Here are this week's Top 5 movies:
1.) (NEW) "G.I. Joe: Retaliation", $41.2 million. Up to $51.7 million since Thursday.

|Sesame Street
|November 20, 1995 (3396)
|May 17, 1996 (3525)
Sesame Street Season 27 aired from November 20, 1995 to May 17, 1996.
Season Overview
This season is considered to be the "experimental season" - it is "increasingly presenting its lessons in overlapping ways, to reach those whose learning may be more closely tied to musical or mathematical abilities than linguistic ones."[1]
Show Format
Valeria Lovelace said about the show's new format for each episode, "lessons on one topic are to be clustered during an hour rather than spread out through the show as they have been. One show in January, for example, will portray the letter "D" in three consecutive segments: first it's marked out in candles, then it's depicted in a sand animation, and finally it's shown growing out of the ground. This will be followed by three segments on another topic, rain. First, Ernie and the Twiddlebugs go out in the rain, then there is a rain dance in clay animation, and finally rain and wind are rendered in Chinese calligraphy. In addition to being clustered, these segments are in tune with the new approach because they stress not only the visual and the verbal but also musical, interpersonal and spatial relationships"[1]

First come walk with me through my chamber. The walls, ceiling, and floors are going to move around a bit so try to keep your balance. Don't worry about the skeletons. They won't hurt you, they are already dead. duh. Or was it not the skeletons you were worried about? In any case, please excuse the mess. My slave boys have been doing a bad job cleaning up… so now they are a bit… tied up. I'll introduce them to you in a minute….
Oh… look out… that's Jack, my ex. He had a bit too much of the rum and ran off with some wenches without me. We had a little talk and everything is fine now. In fact, he always seems to be hanging around. Kisses baby!
Now if you will step this way….
Let me show you my absolute most prized possession. By possession, I mean possessed. Meet the little one. You guys are all curious about this bed breaking "devil sex"… Well here is the bi-product of a freakish yet loving environment. Isn't she just darling? She has my eyes. Careful, don't get too close. She hasn't fed yet today and when she's really hungry she'll spin her head around and vomit at you.
Keep walking with me please.
If you look right ahead I'd like to show you my behavioral reinforcement table. Just ignore this man laying here. He is a disappointment. He likes to dress like a show pony and have me train him… yet in our last session he failed numerous times to pick up his leads as a proper show pony should. He also spoke out when disciplined. Ponies do not speak. Therefore he has to go through the shocks. I keep the hood on at all times of course. Here let me turn on the shocks for you. He needs to learn his lesson anyway…..
Speaking of bad boys. Here is #359 (the slaves here live by numbers, not names). This one failed to clean my chambers properly after one of my sessions. He even forgot which floggers go where. I'm very upset with him. He has been in the stocks for a couple of weeks. I let his feet free so he can move about and clean the floors with a broom in his mouth. He's learning slowly but surely. If he keeps up the good work I may let him out soon!
Finally, meet Larry. He kept getting excited on me… despite numerous warnings not to. So I blindfolded him and let him play with my pets. I don't think it will be a problem anymore.
That concludes the tour. I hope you enjoyed looking into my world. So… are we still on for that dinner and a movie date or what?

Notes: Whether Downs starts out at receiver or safety, it's a good bet that he will make an early contribution. He is the definition of a play-maker and has a knack for always being around the football. While he is an accomplished receiver and would play some as a freshman, with no returning free safeties on the roster, starting out in the secondary might be his quickest path to immediate playing time.

Tallahassee, FL - November 10, 2012
Governor Rick Scott released the following statement today on the Secretary of State's announcement of the results for the 2012 general election. (The deadline for county canvassing boards to report these results was noon today, per Section 102.141(5), F.S.):
"Around 8.5 million Floridians voted in this general election – more votes cast than in any other election in state history. A record of nearly 4.8 million Floridians also voted early and absentee ballots.
We are glad that so many voters made their voices heard in this election, but as we go forward we must see improvements in our election process.
"I have asked Secretary of State Ken Detzner to review this general election and report on ways we can improve the process after all the races are certified.
As part of this evaluation, Secretary Detzner will meet with County Election Supervisors, who are elected or appointed to their position – especially those who ran elections in counties where voters experienced long lines of four hours or more.
We need to make improvements for Florida voters and it is important to look at processes on the state and the county level. We will carefully review suggestions for bettering the voting process in our state.
"Now that the election is over we have an opportunity to come together – regardless of political party – and focus on the issues important to Florida families.
Our families care about getting a great job, a quality education and keeping their cost of living low. Making our state better for Florida families is our ultimate goal."

Vice-president of the United Republic of Tanzania Dr. Mohamed Gharib Bilal and first lady Salma Kikwete led thousands of mourners during the funeral services of movie star Stephen Kanumba at the Kinondoni cemetery in Dar es Salaam yesterday.
The funeral of Kanumba, who died suddenly on the dawn of Saturday at his residence in Sinza, attracted a multitude of people from all over the country and beyond borders.
Business between Sinza and Kinondoni areas came to a stand still as mourners were packed in vehicles, bicycles, tricycles and what have you to attend the biggest ever funeral so far for the year.
The funeral that was held four days after his sudden death left people in profound shock and deep grief.
The funeral organisers were forced to cut short the exercise of paying last respect as it would have taken longer than expected.
Besides the Vice-President and First Lady, other top Government officials including the Minister for Information, Culture, Youth and Sport Emmanuel Nchimbi, were not to be missed at the funeral venue.
Ministers, Members of the Parliament and other Government, political parties' officials and others were not to be missed during the Kanumba funeral.
The coffin containing the body of the most cherished film star in the country was lowered into the grave around noon as people struggled to have a glimpse of the incident.
Virtually, both the Leaders Club and the Kinondoni Cemetery where Kanumba's coffin was paid last respect and later buried was not sufficient in terms of space to accommodate the crows.
A number of people collapsed to keep the standby Red Cross workers busy before loading them into ambulance for medical services. Paramedics were busy too to provide services to those with mild shocks during the funeral.
Besides the Dar es Salaam residents, Kanumba death had astonishingly attracted people from upcountry who took trouble to witness the funeral yesterday.
It was a funeral that had no comparison for an individual like Kanumba who had no authority in the Government of Tanzania but his movie industry artistic was sufficient to award him the immense popularity.
Had the late Kanumba been able to have at least a glance of what was happening after his death and during the funeral, most likely he would have been shocked by the presence of grief stricken crowd.
All roads in Dar es Salaam suburbs were heading to Leaders Club and Kinondoni Cemetery during the morning hours of yesterday.
The policemen were overwhelmed by the turnout of the people and had to work beyond the call of duty to take control of both crowd and traffic congestion on the roads.
People of all ages, sexes, races and regardless of their blood connection to Kanumba, wept openly throughout the funeral procession that left Dar es Salaam city at a stand still up to the late afternoon.
Kanumba's death shocked even the President of the United Republic of Tanzania, Jakaya Kikwete, who took trouble to visit mourners at Sinza on Sunday afternoon.
People gathered in multiple groups discussing about Kanumba's life and his movie star profession.
It was one of rare sunny days inside the month when torrential rains were supposed to peak but instead hot weather prevailed and seemed not to bother mourners who were determined to express their in depth devotion and love to Kanumba.
The reason for the huge congregation of people at Kanumba's funeral was based on his film productions that were available in most of the households across the nation and beyond borders.
While people were busy trying to find their way to the Kinondoni Cemetery, some unscrupulous young men had organized road toll along the Magomeni-Kinondoni Mkwajuni service roads.
Tricycles, bicycles and motor bikes were being charged up to 500/- to cross over. The young men had put logs to block smooth passage of the three-wheelers.
There was no time to report to the Police authorities for the offence as time was running out with people finding it better to comply rather than taking a legal process.
A number of Daladala operators had switched to the Leaders Club destination as they cancelled their official routes to cash in on people who were in urgent need to attend the burial ceremony.

Alternatives for significant uses of lead in Massachusetts
In July 2005, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts requested that the Toxics Use Reduction Institute perform an alternatives assessment for five chemicals. For each chemical, the Institute was charged with identifying significant uses in manufacturing, consumer products, and other applications; reviewing health and environmental effects; and evaluating possible alternatives. The results of this study will serve as a guide for those seeking safer substitutes to the five chemicals discussed here.
Presented here is an executive summary of the findings of for high priority uses of lead in Massachusetts. The full report, the Five Chemicals Alternatives Assessment Study available from the link below, presents extensive factual information on each alternative.
Lead and lead compounds
Lead is a naturally occurring metal with a high density and low melting point. It is ubiquitous in manufactured products in many forms: as a pure metal, as an alloy with other metals, and in compounds. It is valued for its electrical conductivity, high density, and ability to stabilize plastics.
Lead poses a serious threat to human health and the environment. Acute human health effects of high lead exposures can include gastrointestinal distress, brain and kidney damage, and death. Chronic effects of lead exposure include anemia, damage to the nervous system, effects on blood pressure and kidney function, and interference with vitamin D metabolism. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has classified lead as a probable human carcinogen, and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified inorganic lead as probably carcinogenic to humans (Group 2A). Fetuses, infants and children are particularly vulnerable to adverse effects from lead exposure, including irreversible neurological damage. There is no known safe threshold for lead exposure in children.
Lead is extremely persistent in both water and soil. Combustion of leaded gasoline was a major source of anthropogenic lead releases in the past. Industrial releases from smelters, battery plants, chemical plants, and disturbance of older structures containing lead-based paints are now major contributors to total lead releases. The Institute selected three priority uses of lead to assess in detail: ammunition, weighting applications, and heat stabilizers for PVC wire and cable coatings. These applications were chosen based on stakeholder interest, importance to Massachusetts industry and consumers, and likely availability of alternatives. Ammunition used at indoor and outdoor firing ranges is a significant source of occupational lead exposure and environmental contamination. Automotive wheel weights and fishing sinkers were chosen as representative of a large number of lead uses that rely on its high density. Wire and cable heat stabilization is the category with the largest use of lead among Massachusetts manufacturers. The results of these assessments are summarized below.
Ammunition for shooting ranges
Most practice shooting ranges currently use lead ammunition. Range operators and shooters can be exposed to high airborne lead levels in indoor shooting ranges. Use of lead ammunition at outdoor shooting ranges can produce environmental contamination. Most of the major ammunition manufacturers now market lead-free bullets. A few smaller ammunition manufacturers specialize in the production of lead-free ammunition.
The Institute examined five possible alternatives to lead ammunition for use in shooting ranges: bismuth, copper, iron, tungsten, and zinc. For each alternative, the Institute examined human health, environmental, technical, and cost criteria.
- Human health. The alternative materials are all superior to lead from a human health perspective for the criteria the Institute considered (carcinogenicity, developmental toxicity, and occupational exposure).
- Environment. In general, the alternatives are more desirable from an environmental standpoint, with the exception of aquatic toxicity for copper and zinc.
- Technical criteria. Technical criteria of interest for this application include density, frangibility, and barrel wear.
- Greater bullet density is advantageous for most ammunition applications, since high bullet weight and small bullet size are both desired characteristics. Tungsten has greater density than lead, while the other alternatives have lower density than lead. However, the density of bismuth is very close to that of lead. One manufacturer produces bismuth bullets that match the weight of many lead bullets.
- Many lead-free bullets are frangible, which means they fragment into small particles upon impact with a target. Frangible bullets are safer than lead bullets for use at indoor firing ranges because they reduce or eliminate the dangers associated with ricocheting bullet fragments. This is of particular concern when firing at steel targets at close range. Frangible bullets can also limit damage to steel targets. Bismuth, iron, tungsten/nylon, and powdered copper can all be used to make frangible bullets. Solid copper bullets are not frangible and may ricochet more readily than lead bullets. Some zinc bullets break apart upon entering a target, but their probability of ricochet is not known.
- Barrel wear is the erosion of barrel material by bullets. All of the alternative materials except tungsten are similar to lead from the perspective of barrel wear.
- Cost. All the alternatives currently have a higher purchase price than lead bullets. However, all the alternatives are superior to lead bullets from the perspective of operating costs. Firing ranges face numerous costs associated with the use of lead ammunition. These can include costs of air monitoring, blood lead level testing of range operators, maintenance of containment and filtration systems, purchase of replacement filters, range cleaning, and lead disposal. By switching to lead-free ammunition, firing ranges can reduce or eliminate costs in these areas. In addition, lead bullets and bullet fragments must be either recycled or disposed of as hazardous waste. Alternative bullets, in contrast, can be disposed of as non-hazardous waste if they are not recycled. Frangible bullets also reduce wear and damage on bullet traps and backstops.
Weighting applications
The Institute chose wheel weights and fishing tackle as two examples of the larger category of lead used in weighting applications.
Fishing sinkers
Nearly 2,500 metric tons of lead are used each year in the United States to produce fishing sinkers. Many of these sinkers are lost during use. One study found that anglers lost, on average, one sinker every six hours of fishing. Lead sinkers are lethal to waterbirds, such as loons and swans. One study found that the most common cause of death in adult breeding loons was lead toxicity from ingested fishing sinkers. A number of states have placed limits on the use of lead fishing sinkers. In Massachusetts, lead sinkers are prohibited for use in the Quabbin and Wachusett Reservoirs, the two bodies of water that support the core of the state's loon population. Use of lead sinkers is restricted in several other states in the Northeast, and is restricted or banned in several countries. Many anglers produce their own lead sinkers at home. This activity can expose individuals and family members to airborne lead particles or vapors.
The Institute examined five possible alternatives to lead for use in fishing sinkers: bismuth, ceramic, steel, tin, and tungsten. For each alternative, the Institute examined human health, environmental, technical/performance, and cost criteria.
- Human health. All the alternative materials are superior to lead from the perspective of the human health criteria the Institute examined (carcinogenicity, developmental toxicity, and occupational exposure).
- Environment. The alternatives are generally superior to lead from an environmental standpoint as well. All of the alternatives are clearly less hazardous to waterfowl and other aquatic species than lead.
- Technical criteria. The principal technical criteria of interest for this application are density, hardness, malleability, melting point, and corrosion resistance.
- Tungsten is more dense than lead; all the other alternatives are less dense than lead.
- Harder materials are preferable for use in many sinkers. All the alternatives are harder than lead; pure tin is about equal to lead in hardness, while tin alloy is harder than lead.
- Greater malleability is an advantage for sinker applications where the sinker is crimped on to the fishing line. Tin has malleability equal to that of lead; all of the other alternatives are less malleable than lead.
- Low melting point is considered an advantage because it allows individuals to produce sinkers at home, although home production of lead sinkers also creates human health hazards. Bismuth and tin have lower melting points than lead; ceramic, steel, and tungsten have higher melting points.
- Carbon steel is less resistant to corrosion than lead. Stainless steel and all the other alternatives are similar to lead in this regard.
- Cost. The alternatives generally have a higher retail price than lead sinkers, although some steel sinkers are competitive in price with lead sinkers. Studies conducted in the 1990s suggested that fishing sinker purchases represent less than 1% of total expenditures by anglers on their sport, so an increase in fishing sinker costs would be unlikely to have a significant effect on users.
Wheel weights
Wheel weights often fall off automobile wheels, leading to lead contamination of the environment. Worker exposure is a concern in the installation of wheel weights.
There is a thriving market in lead-free wheel weights. European and Japanese automobile manufacturers have already switched to lead-free wheel weights and U.S. automobile manufacturers are currently in the process of making the switch. Asian auto manufacturers now primarily use steel weights. Zinc weights are used widely in Europe, and US auto manufacturers are using zinc weights for automobiles destined for export to Europe. General Motors and Ford are in the process of converting to steel weights.
Despite these developments, the U.S. market in replacement wheel weights continues to use lead weights almost exclusively. This market in replacement weights accounts for 80% of total wheel weight use in the U.S.
The Institute examined four possible alternatives to lead wheel weights: copper, steel, tin, and zinc. For each alternative, the Institute examined human health, environmental, technical/performance, and cost criteria.
- Human health. All of the alternative materials are superior to lead for the human health criteria the Institute examined (carcinogenicity, developmental toxicity, and occupational exposure).
- Environment. For the most part the alternatives are superior environmentally, although zinc is inferior for aquatic toxicity in salt water, and copper is inferior for aquatic toxicity in both fresh and salt water.
- Technical criteria. The principal technical criteria of interest for this application are density, malleability, and corrosion resistance.
- All of the materials considered in this analysis are less dense than lead. Thus, in order to achieve the same mass, the weights made from alternative materials must be somewhat larger than their lead counterparts. This adjustment does not typically pose engineering difficulties for weights used on passenger vehicles.
- The malleability of lead makes it possible to shape wheel weights to match the curve of the wheel diameter. The malleability of copper and tin is similar to that of lead; steel and zinc are less malleable. Manufacturers can compensate for lower malleability by creating segmented weights.
- The corrosion resistance of the alternative materials is generally similar to that of lead; tin is superior to lead in this regard because it does not require coating.
- Cost. Copper and tin weights are expected to cost more than lead weights at initial purchase; zinc weights cost about the same as lead weights, and steel weights have equal or lower cost. The end of life costs for all the alternatives are lower than those for lead.
Heat stabilizers for PVC wire and cable coatings
Lead heat stabilizers used for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) constitute the largest use of lead compounds in Massachusetts manufacturing, and the wire and cable industry is the largest user of these compounded resins.
Significant progress has been made in the identification and adoption of alternatives. Many lead-free heat stabilizers are commercially available, and resin compounders are working proactively with wire and cable companies to encourage their adoption. Regulatory requirements prohibiting the use of lead and other hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment in the European Union have created an incentive for U.S. manufacturers to develop lead-free alternatives. The Institute is engaged in on-going collaborative projects to help Massachusetts industries to gain and maintain a competitive edge in producing lead-free wire and cable, as well as lead-free electrical and electronic equipment.
The Institute did not conduct a complete technical assessment for alternative heat stabilizers. Each application has unique technical requirements, and stabilizers are formulated with many different combinations of chemicals to suit each application. Furthermore, heat stabilizers will be examined as part of a collaborative project between the Institute and the U.S. EPA to conduct a detailed life cycle assessment for three specific wire and cable applications. However, many Massachusetts wire and cable companies plan to adopt lead-free alternatives before that study will be complete. Thus, stakeholders determined that it would be useful for the Institute to analyze the environmental health and safety profiles of chemicals that are widely used in alternative stabilizers.
The Institute gathered information on five categories of alternative heat stabilizers: calcium-zinc, barium-zinc, magnesium-zinc, magnesium aluminum hydroxide carbonate hydrate, and magnesium zinc aluminum hydroxide carbonate. From these categories, the Institute selected five representative heat stabilizer products and conducted an environmental health and safety assessment of their constituent materials. Many of these constituent materials were found to be superior to lead from a human health and environmental perspective. Costs of mixed metal heat stabilizers have decreased in recent years, such that a transition to a mixed metal heat stabilizer may be cost neutral. Where a cost differential exists, it is estimated at 10% or less.

The Stones made incredible music, but looking back they sure seemed like douchebags.
Rare photos of Rolling Stones emerge from estate sale
Oct 21, 2015

I think these were published in the Stones photo-biog book 'Tour of the Americas' in around 1975. Interestingly the book sells for around $500 if you have one.....
It doesn't explain in the story if the 'photographs' are prints or negs / transparencies. The difference being prints can be 'many of', the tranny or neg is the original image. Affects the price you know.
Photo #5 is cool because it shows a blues legend.
Wow! Photos of Brian Jones by a swimming pool? Creepy. Four years before...
average uninteresting snapshots, no photographic merit (shame the snapshotter didn't think to turn the camera to portrait format), scraping the barrel to milk the last £ or $ from whoever is silly enough to pay, methinks.
it's not about the artistic value, it's about the subject being photographed. I would love to see some boring unprofessional snapshots of Beethoven walking his dog. The crazy fans will be more than happy to see some pics they've never seen. For god's sake I heard that Elvis' barber managed to sell a jar of Elvis' hair, stranger things have happened.
Wow, I have a picture book on the Stones that was published in 1977, and these poolside shots are in it. Nice one, DP Review. Let's pehraps define "rare" first. shall we?
Ah yes. The days before digital sharing. When it was easy to forget or misplace photos in a small envelope, (I'm sure that was the case here). Speaking of which, how of many of you have done the same, even finding unprocessed canisters? (raises hand). :)
I have some 'rare' photo's of me in college doing the same thing. I may call some auction houses, see what they're worth on the market.
Unless you were in a Rolling Stones equivalent band, I don't think you're going to get a reply.
Try eBay. Rare works every time on eBay.
tongue in cheek mister roboto, tongue in cheek
"Rare photos". What an odd phrase. What is rare about them? Think about it. Any definition that sort of works means that the vast majority of photos are "rare".
It's not that hard of a concept to grasp.
@deeohuu: Don't be so daft...
Rare just means you don't have 'them' or see the particular scenario in the photo every time you come out of StarBucks.
I think rare means there aren't too many.
so far I'm told it is easy to understand, I'm daft, the particular scenario is not common, or there aren't too many.
I don't understand the 'not too many' comment at all. At least now there are uncounted digital copies. If it means that there is only one original negative then all film based photos are rare.
If an unusual scenario makes them rare then the majority of photos are still rare and going rarer all the time. (And I DO have them now, so does the publication of the article end their rarity?)
Perhaps rare is meant to meant to mean they are noteworthy because of the significance of the subject. That is a sloppy use of language and there are many photos that are even rarer based on that definition but we don't see them promoted like this.
Telling me I'm daft or that it's easy to grasp doesn't really help without giving a clear explanation. Please help me in my daftness.
Probably what was really meant was 'unknown' or 'little known'.
It was an attempt at humor as the term rare, which was always vague, is now meaningless.
Your comment is pointlessly negative. I feel sorry for someone like yourself who spends their life in a "glass is half empty" state all the time. Try looking at the point of the article and the photos instead of beating up the author over semantics.
The article in question has already qualified it's use of the term "rare". And I would submit that it has been done to the satisfaction of the vast majority of readers. Here:
"Photos of the Rolling Stones are not hard to find, but the majority of images from the height of the band's career consist of on-stage performances and posed publicity shots. That's why a stack of photos uncovered at a Southern California estate sale have attracted a lot of attention recently. These candid images show the Stones as they have rarely been seen - relaxing and appearing to enjoy a day out of the limelight."
The sense in which they are using the term "rare" here is quite clear. You know, the vast majority of shots of the stones are in one context, but these few are in another.
Further, they are prints, not digital images that can and will be duplicated thousands of times due to the nature of the internet. Prints. Reasonably old prints too.
Time to move on I'd say.
Great to see pics of Brian Jones. Although the band obviously generated great music post Brian, I always felt the "Stones" as we had grown up with, died with him.
When I saw Jagger singing with Carrie Underwood the word "sellout" came to mind. Sooner or later they all do it.
Photos are interesting (to some) because of the subject matter. Photos done the exact same way of Aunt Edna would be worthless.
They all sell out? Did Neil Young sellout?
* crickets * crickets *...
Someone should ask Stanley Booth when he thinks these were taken. He'd probably know.
His "True Adventures of the Rolling Stones" is probably one of the very best written and most interesting books about rock'n'roll ever written.
Great pics. The photog definitely is talented. But it's not like he's dead and these are like finding a Picaso hanging on the wall. For every famous person in history, there must be hundreds of pictures of them doing normal stuff. Maybe not captured with great composition like these.
I love photos from the 60s. To me it was a time that the technology had really matured, society was providing great source material and the girls were the prettiest ever. I missed the 60s, glad there are photos like these to enjoy.
I was kind of curious to see this pictures, but I mostly clicked on this article to see all the complaints about this post. And you guys did not disappoint. I never understand who bothers to take the time to write a comment just to say "who cares?" or "this is old news." I know there's no talk of megapixels and dials in these photos, and they're only interesting if you like photography and pop culture history, but if you don't want to look at them, why do you want to comment about how much you don't want to look at them?
Yeah. The disgruntled go to an awful lot of effort just to write "Meh".
There's little point in commenting about those types, because they post their drivel and run. They don't come back to read who responded to "meh".
i admit i did the same thing. Its sad that this forum community has become so horrible that we've come to expect this.
I do care what other photogs think, but these debbie downers on dpreview mostly make me not even care.
Amazing Candids, a great find
Who cares...
Any reasons why this is on a website with a D as the first letter of its name?
Digital Photography Review?
I don't get the connection.
"Photography", Amnon; that's the connection.
Surprised you missed it, as it comes right after "Digital" in the full name of the website.
Now, before someone posts a snarky reply about analog vs digital, consider that "digital" refers to computerized capture, storage, and transmission of data, the very means by which we recieve DPR, which then is simply a computerised review of photography-related subject matter... oh! that's this article - and all others like it. Wow! that's why it's on DPR!
Because DPreview does about one full camera review every six months and one lens review every two years. So they have to fill in the air with fluffy Buzzfeed-type articles like this.
@ Joe - not true at all, but don't let facts get in the way of a good rant.
Uhm. The photos were "D"igtally scanned in lieu of posting here? :)
I figured staff would reply. My comment was hyperbole. Nevertheless, I would love to see more reviews.
I'll bet none of these photos were covered in moss.
That Instagram fad has to die already
Where's the negs?
These were recently shot with a Hasseblad Lunar, which has the ability to let you go back in time, like Mr. Peabody's Way Back Machine. Hasselbald now rules with the most bitchin' technology (oh, wait a minute, its a Sony).
who gives a raats tail.....
You are an Idiot!
Five words and five periods tending to indicate an ignorance for many photographers and others alike that will find these very interesting. At very least, they add to the archive of Stones photographs, and that is something. And, as is referred to in the explanatory text, candids tend to be less representative in the whole body of photographs of the band. And these are candids that are well done. I haven't seen many others that capture the same tone.
No likey? No clickey!
Nothing like personal attacks to make the forum the best it can be.
even if they were not famous there are definitely five keepers in there from a compositional point of view.
I remember seeing these photos printed in a magazine or on a website several years ago, so those images are hardly "emerging" these days.
A rare photo of Stu! Funny to think of the Rolling Stones, almost royalty these days, cavorting around a motel swimming pool. No screaming fans!
I noticed the Stu pic too. Poor guy. Too ugly to be a "full" band member he was relegated to keyboard/tour manager even though he was one of the original members, and he took it all in stride.
Nobody is/was too ugly to be a member of the Rolling Stones.
Read up on it sometime. Stu wasn't considered hip or attractive enough because he was older and kind of large, so Oldham basically told him to stay behind the scenes.
Kodak moments that are worth something!
Let me check my Kodak archives, "maybe a diamond in the rough"
A nice find for sure. Certainly early stuff with Brian Jones being included.
Can someone tell the focal length of these photos? I would guess 35mm. What do you think?
Pretty tight. Feels like a 50.
Edit, maybe even longer?
i would also say 50-85 its pretty compressed for beeing that near to the subject
Love these... and I'm surprised that they are staying in such a mundane type hotel/motel. Some are average type shots, but most are MUCH better than the average photos taken by joe-public.
I wonder if they were yet rolling in the $$$$ in 1965.
Dan W (above) stayed in the same hotel as the Stones in '66??? wow!
I'm not a Stones fan, but I appreciate their era of pop history.
It's true. This was no motel, though. My father booked a stay at the Kahala Hilton, a very nice place.
My father confirmed the reservations for 2 rooms before we left from Los Angeles but when we arrived, they had only one room for us. They blamed it on the Stones, saying they (and their entourage, I suppose) stayed longer than they had originally planned. Who could blame them, the place was beautiful. We "suffered" with one room for a night until the hotel found another room for us.
I remember seeing the Stones on the beach. They didn't look especially attractive but they had lots of girls with them. I was envious.
We also visited 3 other Hawaiian islands. It was a fantastic trip.
My family went to Hawaii in 1966. We stayed at the same hotel in Honolulu as the Stones. I remember seeing them, even rode in an elevator with one of them. I didn't know who he was, I just knew he was not Mick Jagger.
I should have taken photos.
That Kodachrome.. sigh.
Other than that, pretty portraits I would say? Very decent, I think whoever made them knew rather well what they are doing. They have certain "something" indicating that it wasnt just "any photographer". Somehow familiar style, just cant remember where I saw something like that..
Nice discovery anyway.
Doesn't look like Kodachrome, they look like prints to me. Of course they could be prints from Kodachrome hard to tell though as they seem to have faded...
I'm sure these are from Kodak color negative film. Vericolor? Is that what they were calling it back then? The camera was probably one of the bigger Instamatics.
The film is likely Kodacolor-X. And judging by how close the photographer is to the lads, I'm guessing they were taken by one of the band's girlfriends. Linda Eastman was photographing the Stones around that time, but I doubt she would leave uncredited work lying around unless they were outtakes.
probably someone took the photos or they where developed after the band left, and no one cared to send the pics
Love the "Motor Lodge" sign in the background of #6.
The next update of Instagram will have a "Stones '65" look... Pfffffff
Instagram lash out; such ground breaking contribution to a photo dialog.
dpr turned tabloid......
These photos are a welcome archive of days past and long forgotten.
The Stones probably don't remember much from the '60s because they were really there.
Nor the '70s, '80s, '90s....
I remember Ozzy saying he didn't remember recording a whole album in the 70's...
Robin Williams once said "if you remember the '70s, you missed the whole thing :)
Many people have cracked that joke but George Carlin said it first.
I got as far as number 7 before deciding that if I'd taken them they would have gone into the bin and never been seen by anyone!
You're missing the point. Composition and subject matter far outweigh pixel peeping technical perfection in most people's eyes. Go to a photography museum some day. You might cringe at the technical aspects of some of the pics. How many of your shots are in display in museums?
Then you'd only waste a chance to have your shots appreciated 48 yrs later.
I'm not really missing the point. If I had taken them I would have binned them. I've got better photo's of bands I've played in that I decided to keep. That's my point, just because it's of someone famous doesn't make it a good photo. Comprende?
Another snotty self-serving comment. You only keep pics of bands you pay in? But you're not famous, are you?
what are you talking about? these are great pics, very nice close framing and wonderful colors.
let's see your pics then… oh, your dog in the garden and some overprocessed HDRs from an uninteresting church? Aha…
Pixel-peep much? What do you not understand about history and the value of candid pictures taken by someone who probably was close to the band. Go back to taking photos of your cats...
Sad sad people is it just photographers or are other hobbyists just as bitchy?
To Hugo808 : I get your point, but when you keep old snapshots of people and they later become world-famous, how cool!
backayonder, it is a trait of many across all disciplines, but photographers, hobbiest and otherwise, can bring a color of bitterness that makes them the ones at the BBQ that nobody wants to hang around with.
The subject makes them of interest to some people. The photos look like any other snapshots from that time period.
That's what makes them rare - similar shots taken by others were binned long ago ...
wow hugo, so mature.. youre so great
fascinating cultural artifacts, both for who the snaps depict, but also as reminders of the US south during the '60s.
Absolutely. A Rolling Stones member and an African American porter in uniform, and both going about doing their thing in the same picture. A cultural moment from a not too distant past.
Porter? I posted already that it is a blues legend from another news story.
Real nsaps with the 60's look and feel, I have some just like those on family albums. Nice candids. Must have been someone close to them then.
Why did it take this long for the boys to start using Instagram?
Oh wait...
Is that an Edsel in the background in picture number one?
Very nice love the 60's vib the portraits r especially nice & the colors classic vintage rocking it out
You have to admit, the photos themselves are average, but the rarity and subject makes them special!
I haven't had enough coffee today to find deeper meaning in that.
Well, quite good anyway for without coffee. What else more could one say?
lol +1
Average is a whole lot better than pretentious or derivative though, ain't it?
um, wasn't this news about 6 months ago?
Classy boys! Love the 60's colour.
