IT concession No. 1: The iPhone revolution is here to stay
More and more workplaces these days resemble a geeky party that's strictly BYOD (bring your own device). The problem? Many IT departments either never got an invitation or failed to RSVP.
May 2011 surveys by IDC and Unisys found that 95 percent of information workers used self-purchased technology at work -- or roughly twice as many as executives in those surveys estimated. IDC predicts use of employee-owned smartphones in the workplace will double by 2014.
Nathan Clevenger, chief software architect at mobile device management firm ITR Mobility and author of "iPad in the Enterprise" (Wiley, 2011), says the iPhone and iPad are the catalysts for the consumerization of IT. Tech departments can either enable them to be used securely or risk the consequences.
"Unless IT supports the devices and technologies users demand, the users will simply go around IT and use personal tech for business purposes," Clevenger says. "That is a much more dangerous situation from a security standpoint than supporting the consumer devices in the first place."
Tech departments need to steer a middle course between attempting (and failing) to keep consumer technology out of the workplace, and allowing unfettered access to the network from any device, notes Raffi Tchakmakjian, vice president of product management at Trellia, a cloud-based mobile device management provider.

(11/6/11) - My guest Jane Platten, Director of The Cuyahoga County Board of Elections, and I talked about the upcoming November 8th elections.
We discussed that the driver this election is Issue 2, the effort to repeal Senate Bill 5.
We talked about changes made is the voting process that may have been confusing given all the proposed changes from Columbus.
One, is that this past Sunday October 30th, 2011 was the last Sunday one could go to the board of elections and vote.
Usually, it is the Sunday before the election. The number of days one has to vote before November 8th have been reduced down to 27.
We discussed the fact that the board did not sent out absentee ballots to all registered voters as they've done in the past and that you had to request one if you wanted to vote absentee.
Also that the 44 cents postage isn't enough. It now costs 64-cents to return an absentee ballot by mail.
We talked about the need to have Proper ID and how to vote if you have been foreclosed on, using your old address if you haven't found another permanent address yet.
We also talked about efforts to make sure voter fraud is kept to a minimum.
We discussed the provisional ballots and the importance understanding the process, what to do if you show up at the wrong polling place, if your name is not in the alphabetical book at the poll and you can observe the election process.
Polls open at 6:30a.m. and close at 7:30p.m. on Tuesday November 8th, 2011.

A Hinds County homeowner says water has been leaking in front of his home since March 2010.
The Jackson Water System owns the line and he's called numerous times to see about getting it fixed.
Art Compere, 79, lives at 124 Brantley Road, which is just off the Wynndale Exit on Interstate 55, near the Terry city limits.
Compere has tried to divert the water from the leak to the back of his property with a water hose.
It worked at first but the leak has steadily gotten worse and overwhelmed the hose.
So he dug a small trench on his neighbor's property to make the water flow to the back of the property, but it is now not capable of carrying all of the water that is leaking.
Compere says he has called the Jackson Water Department numerous times about the problem; so many times in fact, they recognize his voice and tell him something will be done, but that never happens.
"Right now it's a real nuisance, it's messing up my neighbor's yard, so I think it's about five gallons a minute, I would estimate, at least," Compere said. "So I told them, I said 'Look somebody's got to do something', I said my neighbor's yard is just soggy and I am having to deal with it. She says I'll report it. The lady there she has a nice tone, she's real nice, she said I am going to report it, but they never get to it. Nothing ever happens."
"So what happened when you told them you were going to call WLBT about it?"
"Well this nice sounding lady who answers she real quickly said, "we don't talk to the media," Compere said.
Chris Mims, City of Jackson Spokesman, did return our call and has told us something will be done to correct the problem as soon as possible.

St. James-Santee Family Health Center has expanded with the opening of its new facility near Five Points in Georgetown.
The new, larger center at 422 North Fraser Street, adjacent to Tony's Famous Pizza, will allow the medical staff to take care of more patients with an expansion of services, according to Chief Executive Officer Sandra Gilliard.
In September the center relocated to its new home from its previous Highmarket Street location.
Gilliard said in 2007 St. James-Santee Family Health Center saw there was a need in the City of Georgetown and took over a medical building on Highmarket Street.
"It had two examination rooms and we outgrew that building in less than a year," she said.
Gilliard said the board of directors agreed to apply for a federal grant that would help with the expansion and relocation costs. She said there were more than 160 applications and St. James-Santee Family Health Center was awarded the funds.
She said the center's three doctors and two nurse practitioners saw 6,000 patients last year and provided over 17,000 medical visits. Gilliard said she expects there will be at least 9,000 people who use the center's services this year.
"We are a primary health care provider. Our mission is to provide comprehensive health care," Gilliard said. Services include chronic disease management, behavioral health counseling, and discounted prescriptions.
"We are a federally qualified community health center," Gilliard said, adding the cost to patients is based on income and family size.
She said having St. James-Santee Family Health Center keeps people from using the hospital emergency room for non-emergency medical needs.
"So many uninsured or underinsured people use the ER for primary care, for something they can be seen for in a physician's office," Gilliard said.

New research creates carbon emission measurement standards
Read the full story at HotelManagement.net.
A recent panel held at the American Hotel & Lodging Association's Fall Conference explored the findings of the hotel industry's latest method for measuring a property's carbon emissions.
The Hotel Carbon Measurement Initiative, developed by WTTC and the International Tourism Partnership, grew out of the mutual need for hotels to be able to track and report their overall carbon footprint to corporate clients requesting them. The Initiative creates a common calculation for rooms of the footprint for rooms and meetings by measuring the total square footage of a property's guestrooms, corridors, meeting space, back of the house and public areas.
D.C.'s proposed building codes take 'green' requirements to another level
Read the full story in the Washington Business Journal.
The District has released a revised set of building codes that will inexorably alter the way that new buildings are constructed and the effect those projects have on the environment.
Both the regulators and the regulated will have much to get used to, most notably an unprecedented set of green building codes that will apply to all new or substantially renovated commercial buildings larger than 10,000 square feet and multifamily residential four stories or taller. The District anticipates each project built under the new code will use 30 percent less energy than new projects under the existing regulations.
National Surveys on Energy and Environment: Public Opinion on Climate Policy Options
This report presents the views of American citizens on a range of issues linked to the possible development of federal and state policies intended to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This report responds to the evolving American debate over alternative roles that federal and state governments might play in attempting to address the issue of climate change, including specific policies that have either been enacted or remain under serious consideration in Washington, D.C. or in state capitals. The findings are drawn from a Fall 2012 telephone survey conducted under the auspices of the National Surveys on Energy and Environment (NSEE), which reflect a formal partnership between the Muhlenberg Institute of Public Opinion at Muhlenberg College and the Center for Local, State, and Urban Policy at the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy at the University of Michigan. This survey secured responses from 917 American citizens, drawn from all regions of the nation and comprising a statistically representative profile of the citizenry.
DOE and EPA release annual fuel economy guide with 2013 models
Read the full post at Green Car Congress.
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of Energy (DOE) released the 2013 Fuel Economy Guide. The 2013 models include efficient and low-emission vehicles in a variety of classes and sizes, but notable this year is the growing availability of hybrids and the increasing number of electric vehicles.
This year, for the first time, EPA and DOE have added a second top ten list of most efficient vehicles—separating advanced technology vehicles from conventional gasoline and diesel vehicles.
The 2013 guide provides an estimated annual fuel cost for each vehicle. The estimate is calculated based on the vehicle's miles per gallon (mpg) rating and national estimates for annual mileage and fuel prices. The online version of the guide (fueleconomy.gov) allows consumers to enter their local gasoline prices and typical driving habits to receive a personalized fuel cost estimate. The 2013 guide also includes a greenhouse gas rating for each model.
5 ways the Safe Chemicals Act can benefit business
Read the full story at GreenBiz.
The Safe Chemicals Act, sponsored by Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ), champions the protection of consumers from the hazards of household products. While many public interest groups have hailed this legislation as an unambiguous win for consumers and a punishment for Big Chemical, the Safe Chemicals Act would actually benefit businesses in the long run by inspiring greater public confidence and by rewarding sustainability innovators.
The Safe Chemicals Act would deliver improvements all along the value chain, from large-scale chemical manufacturers to the consumer goods companies that process and package chemicals into the cleaners and personal care products sold in the supermarket aisle.
Antibiotic-Eating Bug Unearthed in Soil
Read the full story from the American Society of Agronomy (ASA), Crop Science Society of America (CSSA), and Soil Science Society of America.
It's well known how bacteria exposed to antibiotics for long periods will find ways to resist the drugs—by quickly pumping them out of their cells, for instance, or modifying the compounds so they're no longer toxic.
Now new research has uncovered another possible mechanism of antibiotic "resistance" in soil. In a paper published on Dec. 6 in the Journal of Environmental Quality, a group of Canadian and French scientists report on a soil bacterium that breaks down the common veterinary antibiotic, sulfamethazine, and uses it for growth.

We've all experienced it - your hands swelling when you go on a walk. Sometimes it is worse than other times - puffy, bloated hands. Why? And how to prevent it?
Our correspondent Melanie Jonker questioned several walking-related mailgroups about this problem to get theories on causes and how walkers dealt with the problem. The good news is that no walker or their health care provider found this problem to be serious and it always went away soon after completing the walk. If your hand swelling doesn't subside soon after the walk, you should consider consulting your health provider.
Theories on CausesWeather:
- Many walkers say long walks in warm weather lead to hand swelling.
- Some walkers reported the problem more often in cool weather.
- Some walkers thought that higher altitude contributed to more swelling.
Drinking Guidelines for Distance Walkers
Arm Motion (or lack of it): There is some debate on whether certain types of arm motion force more fluid into the hands by "centrifugal force." Walking with your hands constantly below your heart makes it more difficult for the circulatory system to return your blood flow back from your hands.
Racewalking coach Bonnie Stein of Acewalker.com describes "blood pooling." Our leg muscles are working hard during a walk and help return blood from the lower body. Despite this, your feet still swell as much as a full shoe size during a long walk. The arm muscles are smaller and in less use when walking, so they don't help as much in returning blood from the hands. This may lead to the swelling.

Waterloo is experiencing a boom in the number of immigrants from Myanmar, formerly known as "Burma". A nearly 50 year long civil war and religious persecution are two factors driving the Burmese to leave their homes. The community and several local schools are now working to adapt to the Burmese boom.
Many Burmese families fleeing their country first end up in refugee camps in neighboring Thailand. Some stay there for years before attempting to move to other regions, including the U.S. Some of those now in Iowa first lived in bigger cities like Chicago and Philadelphia. But word spread quickly through family and friends that in Waterloo--they could find good jobs, affordable housing, a solid faith community, and most importantly, acceptance.
Kyaw Lwin, his wife Monica and their four children recently moved to Waterloo. They left behind a difficult life in Myanmar.
"In our country, the Burmese military took order and then they took our animals and our land," said Kyaw Lwin.
Like many Burmese immigrants, Kyaw found work with Tyson Foods in Waterloo. His four children all attend Cedar Valley Catholic Schools.
"I'm happy to live here because there's a lot of people who care about us," said Stella Lwin, age 11.
Over the past two years, CVCS has seen the number of Burmese enrolled climb to nearly a hundred students pre-k through 12th grades. Half of those attend sacred heart. The biggest hurdle--helping these students learn their new language.
One interpreter has been brought on staff so far. In the future, the school would like to add English classes for adults. But for now...
"We think that the earlier--especially at the elementary level--the sooner we can get them started in our schools and immersed in English, they're going to become the translators for their families," said Julie Niemeyer, Sacred Heart principal.
Molly Juza is a Spanish teacher by trade, but is now spending a lot of time learning Burmese, serving as the "English as a Second Language" instructor for Columbus High School.
"75 percent of my day is in Spanish. SO to have just 25 percent of the day teaching these guys English is definitely not enough. It's something every teacher has to realize. They're not only teaching science or social studies, they're teaching English through their content areas," Juza said.
Juza says there's been a big learning curve for everyone in adapting to the Burmese boom. Teachers are striving to get these new students engaged in not just academics, but extra curricular and social activities, too. To overcome communication barriers, they also try to tailor how they educate to help every student learn.
"Most of the challenge is trying to get teachers on board with making everything they do visual. I think at the elementary level, it's a little easier because learning is so hands-on when you're a little kid. When you're in high school, things are a little more auditory instead of visual. So we're really working on that and making sure everything they say is visual, too," said Juza.
Teachers and students have learned a lot from this new class of immigrants about their culture and hardships, and are inspired by how a firm faith has guided them through it all.
In the 1990s, Waterloo experienced a major influx of Bosnians, as they fled their war torn country. Now a similar pattern is being seen with the Burmese. It's estimated up to 800 Burmese are living in the Cedar Valley now. To help in their transition, a refugee center will soon be opening here.
That's motivation for those already here to stay, in a place that's feeling more and more like home.
"I would like to stay here forever," said Stella Lwin.
The refugee center will help Burmese immigrants meet their basic needs--from clothing to housing, and help connect them to other resources in the community.
It's made possible through a $150,000 appropriation from the U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants. The exact location of the Waterloo office hasn't been determined yet.
A number of small businesses are springing up to cater to the Burmese growth, including an international grocery store that recently opened in downtown Waterloo.
Once every few weeks, traveling priests even conduct their sermons at Sacred Heart Parish in Burmese to help accommodate the expanding immigrant population.

PLATTSBURGH — Clinton County legislators have agreed to accept the sale of seven of eight properties that sold for less than what was owed in taxes at the recent delinquent-property auction.
They will try again to sell one of those parcels in a test market.
Biz News Ink
"Maybe there is another method to selling this property," said Legislator Mark Dame (R-Area 8, City and Town of Plattsburgh).
The parcel Dame was referring to is a 45-by-120-foot vacant lot on the east end of Wallace Hill Road in the Town of Plattsburgh. It sold for just $300 in the June 5 auction. The taxes due on the property were about $8,323. The assessed value of the lot is $12,300.
"It just seems wrong to me that someone should lose their property for just $300," Dame told the Press-Republican.
Taxes have been in arrears on the land for several years, County Treasurer Joseph Giroux said, but it was not auctioned by the county until this year because it was tied up in bankruptcy proceedings.
He said the property is small and in a location that is not conducive to development.
Dame said there might be a buyer out there who is willing to pay more than $300 for the parcel. He said some prefer shopping in settings other than a public auction.
He suggested an online auction or enlisting the services of a real-estate agent to try to get more for it.
"We can use this as a test," he said.
Legislators agreed to try to re-sell the Wallace Hill property. They also agreed to accept the bids on the other seven parcels that did not fetch the amount of taxes that were owed on them.
About $60,000 was owed on the seven parcels, but one of them accounted for about $48,000. That property is a vacant lot at 93 Church St. in Champlain.

So ... how good is Robert Whittaker (11-2)? To clarify, and in case you were hoping I'd answer that question, I don't know. But it'd be useful for this whole analysis thingy.
Here's what I can tell you: Whittaker advanced to the finals of the inaugural "TUF: Smashes" show, which was filmed down under and pitted Aussies vs. UK'ers, by spending less than a minute-and-a-half in the cage, TKO'ing two opponents straight into the unwelcoming bowels of the spirit world and pocketing a cool 25-grand for earning "Knockout of the Season" honors. The 22-year-old Aussie then won the show with a unanimous decision over Brad Scott and went on to dazzle in a monumental upset -- again by TKO -- over heavily favored wrestler and TUF 16 winner Colton Smith in his last go at UFC 160.
Which means, as far as I can tell, that the only notches in Whittaker's negative column are his two career defeats -- one respectable (decision to 20-8 Jesse Juarez), one iffy (submitted by 9-9 Hoon Kim) -- and the general hazards of inexperienced youth. His recent accomplishments alone vastly outweigh the cons, and I'm particularly intrigued by the fluidity of his offensive boxing, instincts and gameness.
Having throttled or otherwise surpassed his TUF counterparts and proved himself against a down and dirty wrestling specialist, Whittaker's next test is a goat-bearded, brick-chinned and battle-hardened wrestler in Court McGee (15-3), whose black belt in Karate and unorthodox tendencies make him somewhat of an enigma. The welterweights collide on the main card of Wednesday's UFC Fight Night: Condit vs. Kampmann 2 event from the Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indanapolis, Indiana.
Honestly, I didn't think McGee was going to hang around for too long after watching him win TUF 11, and that opinion wasn't merely based on the fact that Nick Ring beat him but was eventually forced out of the brackets due to injury. Not only did McGee seem like a one-dimensional wrestler, he moved around awkwardly and his striking was kind of clumsy and creepy. And he looked ... Amish? There's nothing wrong with that, of course, but they don't necessarily populate the MMA crowd -- what with the noticeable absence of horse-drawn buggy parking and demand for those frighteningly efficient stoves.
Nowadays, McGee has fully earned my respect for his hard-nosed toughness alone. There will always be a place in MMA for someone with the heart and fortitude to keep scrapping after spoonfuls of leather have bounced off their chins freely and often. I've grown to understand that McGee is one of those less than graceful athletes you'll encounter in any sport, but a damn good one nonetheless. I also realized that his funky striking tendencies were likely attributed to his Karate background, which is uniquely prevalent in his wrestle-boxing style.
Overall, McGee makes his atypical conglomeration of skills work, and work well. It could be attributed to John Hackleman, the renowned trainer of Chuck Liddell and the head coach at the Pit Elevated, and his extensive experience with karate and a litany of other traditional martial arts. McGee is also one of the hardest workers in the UFC and no picnic to put away. You just know you're in for a long, gritty war of attrition when you sign up to fight Court McGee, as even the UFC fighters who've defeated him -- Costa Philippou and Nick Ring, both by extremely competitive decision -- would attest to.
We have an oddly vivid frame of reference for this striker vs. grappler match up, as both men have faced their stylistic antithesis recently. Whittaker's last turn was highlighted by his habit of keeping his lead hand dangerously low. It's not that it just wasn't glued to his chin at all times -- Whittaker dangled his lead hand well below his waistline throughout his entire fight with Smith, which he later explained as a specific strategy in an interview with MMA Fighting's Ariel Helwani.
There is no doubt that Whittaker's decision to leave his hand low got him a head-start in the process of digging an underhook and improved his takedown defense, just like there's no doubt that his striking defense was equally compromised. Smith is a takedown machine who's almost entirely devoid of striking venom -- McGee is not. Not coincidentally, Whittaker paid the price for his risky tactic when Smith tagged him in the first stanza and, even in his 19-second KO on TUF, he's been a hittable target on the feet.
That's why I specifically credited Whittaker's offensive boxing, as his defense on the feet is a little shaky. I'd guess Whittaker fits the mold of an aggressive striker who's much more fixated on landing bombs than defending or dodging them. That brings to mind two very key points in this match up: McGee is a puzzling striking threat with a gangly reach (76") and his chin is a veritable bank vault. So being willing "to take a few to land a few" is a sketchy strategy against a rangy and unorthodox striker with Fort Knox for a jaw.
McGee has odd timing, good accuracy and an unconventional bag of long punches and unexpected kicks, but Whittaker's boxing finesse gives him a substantial edge on the feet. I was extremely impressed with his methodical dismantling of Smith -- Whittaker seems to be a 22-year-old who throws his hands like an experienced boxer, especially when you account for the grace of his in-and-out movement, the fundamentally sound combinations and stance, and the sheer speed of his explosive outbursts.
What should make everyone leery about what seems like a logical pick is the scarce amount of grappling we've seen from Whittaker. McGee might be out-matched on the feet but it's quite significant that Whittaker's ground prowess has yet to be proven. Sure, his takedown defense is excellent, but McGee is a different kind of wrestler than Smith: you're never quite sure when he's going to shoot but the attempts are almost always accompanied by set-up strikes or weird timing, he can cover a deceiving amount of ground and do it quickly, he's adept at chaining his takedown attempts together on the fly, and he just has no off-button and will keep coming forward in quasi-zombie fashion.
I'm surprised that Whittaker is the slight favorite at the time of writing, mostly because of McGee's landslide advantage in top-flight experience and proven toughness. I'm not appalled by it though -- Whittaker oozes a certain swagger when he gets a rhythm on the feet and I'm intrigued to see how he handles this leap in competition. A Whittaker win wouldn't shock me but it just feels like McGee's wrestling, durability, experience, chin and toughness make him the safer pick here.
My Prediction: Court McGee by rear-naked choke or decision.

Every summer I find myself facing the same predicament: how can I keep the kids busy so I can get work done? I work from home full-time and while my job is very flexible, I have project deadlines. Some of you may have been lucky enough to arrange to work from home more in the summer time. However, with the economy still down, many families are opting to keep their kids home from summer camp to avoid the extra expense. With a few weeks of summer behind us now, I've learned a few tips on how to get work done. Here are some ideas:
1. Plan for the unexpected. One of the perks of working from home is the ability to set your own schedule. This comes in handy when one of the Moms in your car pool has to cancel, a child gets sick, or a playdate falls through. So, to plan for the inevitable loss of work time, try to schedule less meetings during the summer. Use the phone more so you can stay close to home. Embrace your phone's mute button so if the kids get a little rowdy, no one on the phone will know. Focus on projects that you can work on yourself so it doesn't require a lot of meetings and that can be done late at night when the kids are in bed.
2. Set a Summer Schedule for the Day. It's hard to get much done when the kids are running in and out of rooms and getting into tiffs that require Mom Mediation. So, rather than yelling to keep it down or pleading with them to let you work for just 10 more minutes, set up a daily summer schedule that includes fun time for the kids. In the morning, tell the kids the schedule for the day so they know when you are working and when it's playtime. Go to the pool from 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. every day. If you schedule their fun time in and they know it's coming up, they will respect your work time more. Also, for your sanity, keep the schedule the same every day. Consistency will help you focus and help the kids focus on how to respect your time. While I don't like using TV as a bribe or babysitter, sometimes you need the quiet inducing time TV brings. Plan to do your serious work when the shows are on that you know captivate your children.
3. Enlist Help! Ask your neighbors, friends, or family if you can set up a swap or just plain ask if they can watch your kids while you run to a meeting or write that report. Your neighbors may not mind watching your kids because it helps entertain their bored kids. I have a few Mom friends who work full or part time from home and it has been nice to offer to swap shifts. I will take all the kids for a few hours and then we'll switch houses. It allows us Moms to get some work done or even run errands during those hours.
4. Time Consuming Activities – Some days you just can't get the back-up you need and the deadline is looming. Try getting your kids to start an activity that is time consuming, meaning they will be amused for at least an hour so you can work. The WorkatHomeWoman.com has put together a great post on Keeping the Kids Busy:Summer Remedies for Work at Home Moms with great ideas for keeping toddlers busy. Here's another article 94 Ways to Keep the Kids Busy for the Work at Home Parent at the Sparkplugging site. It nicely divides the activities by age. For other summer kids activities, check my post 51 Summer Family Fun Activities. Choose a few of these activities to keep your kids busy and have at it.
5. Work outside – If you have a laptop and wireless internet connection, go out in the backyard to do your work. While it is a little distracting, you'll need to be disciplined, you can go sit on the patio and watch your kids play with the hose, jump on the trampoline, or run around and collect bugs. Another idea is to go to the library. Let the kids read books and play in the play area (if there is one) while you sit at the computers and do your work. You will still need to supervise your children but they might sit or play quietly for while.
I hope one of these ideas helps you meet that looming work deadline or get that project done.

The shutters clicked, the grainy photos were sent to the red-light violators and St. Louis raised $4.1 million last year. Now the vehicular version of "Candid Camera" may be ending, as it has in other U.S towns and cities.
A circuit court judge in St. Louis nullified its camera law Feb. 11, two months after a Missouri appeals court judge struck down a similar suburban ordinance. Those rulings have added to the legal and political blowback across the nation against a system whose safety benefits are disputed while its revenue- generating efficiency is not.
"All it is is a money grab," said Joe Brazil, a St. Charles County, Mo., councilman jailed last year for failing to pay a $100 fine in the St. Louis suburb of St. Peters. "It's almost like racketeering. It's not about safety."
Opponents in Missouri, New Jersey and other states are proving that city hall can be defeated with court challenges and political pressure. Even as advocates promote cameras' ability to save lives, the number of communities using them has dropped about 6 percent since 2012 to 509, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety in Arlington, Va. Lawmakers in five states, including Ohio and Florida, are considering banning or limiting their use, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
While drivers have long complained about tickets from real- life police officers, those transactions afford the opportunity for a face-to-face exchange, even if it's often unpleasant. The Orwellian nature of traffic cameras, used in 21 states, has provoked charges they are inaccurate, unconstitutional and fueled solely by the desire of municipalities and camera companies to raise money.
Red-light cameras in Florida alone raised $119 million last year, according to a study released Feb. 7 by the legislatures's Office of Program Policy Analysis and Government Accountability.

I see its became Robs fans vs Kristens fans.They are actors.They take roles. They make movies. But with movies goes also marketing. I think the most annoying thing is that they are selling this movie as an epic,raunchy romance and pushing Rob the hair-porn,panties-moistener and ruler of the Unicorn Forest with a new leading lady HARD. There is nothing wrong with intoducing a new good onscreen couple but this movie is more of a family drama with academy award nominee Lena Olin and I didnt see her in either the trailer or this clip. Academy Award winner Chris Cooper and Pierce are also criminally underused. Building cred is one thing, questionable marketing another. And Kristens fans you dont have to defend her. She can take care of herself.

um no one wants Rob to fail hello least of all Kristen we don't know her but I'm sure she could care less. He has a long way to go to prove himself as an actor. Pehaps what the others are trying to say is that we could have done with out the gross steamy stuff. There is some truth to what others are saying. Yes remember this is acting but think about it they are people. You are and I are people individuals how would it look to you personally would you like your significant other shown being this way with anyone else it doesn't matter who would you like to see this type action and remind yourself tell yourself its only acting. Just something to consider another point of view.

OK, I just came here to see the TV spot and was going to read the comments but I had to comment when I read a few of them. Are some of you guys insane?? The ONLY reason this movie will get watched is because of Twilight fans and Emilie has NO fan base?? I didn't even know what the hell Twilight was until all this hype started last year and I hate to inform you the whole world does not revolve around it, Em is a good actress, they have chemistry in these scenes and the movie will be good despite whatever it is some of you so called fans expect. Wishing her dead or whatever it is you all wanted several months ago will not stop this film from happening and from people enjoying it even though KStew is not present. Next there is this whole Rob should take more respectful roles to Kristen and she would never play these? Have you forgotten she is currently playing a pole dancer prostitute? I think that puts her right on par with Robs upcoming performance in Bel Ami and you need to remember this is his JOB. One reason they might not admit to being a couple is probably to avoid crap like this, judgmental ideas about what roles they should or shouldn't play out of loyalty to one another. He is not starring in porn, Jesus, it is an R rated movie and I myself think the role is a perfect breakout role to show he is not just a sappy love character; he gets to play kind of a dick and womanizer...y'know the bad guy. I would also love it if he could play someone who is really ugly and just had to be judged on his tremendous acting skills in an upcoming film so that maybe people would take him seriously. It is people like you that can't fathom him "cheating" on Kristen with his roles that diminish his capabilities as an actor. They are not attached at the hip and they ARE separate entities. Rob and Sten need to be two separate working people or there will be no career after Twilight because no one but Twihards give a crap about Robsten.

I love Rob but totally hate the direction Summit is going. They really need to promote the story of the movie - not Rob as a brand. Non-twilight fans will have a laugh at this. (I'm gonna have trouble finding people to watch with...sigh~) It's hard to describe what's the movie about in 30 sec without giving it away but the trailer is way too misleading.

we are aware of the roles that kristen plays - stipper, makes out with dakota, cake eaters but scenes are not nearly as racy, steamy and hard to stomach like robs thats the difference. who ever anyone will come here and comment when ever they want to. Its simply ones opinon other than yours thats it it is a free country you don't have to like anything. many will see this movie many will not so what go ahead watch the movie and see what you think after. his acting is the only thing that looks good.

#15, Kristen plays a stripper in WTTR. What are you talking about? And who cares? Both should do the films they want to do. You don't know what you're talking about. Bel Ami is a classic novel. And if you expect Rob to only play romantic parts with Kristen Stewart, you're delusional. He's an actor who will play many parts with many other women. Get over it. Jeez.

refuse to see this movie in theaters will wait for the dvd instead. it is only acting but what a disrespect to your true girlfriend kristen. she probably doesn't care but this actually makes me wanna puke and this trailor left a bad taste before new moon. these scenes didn't need to be done this way you don't see these type of scenes in kristens movies they are done with class and dignity but not rob and whats his current role bel ami someone who sleeps around a womanizer what a way to keep the personification of a sex symbol going. should be more of a role model rob and pick more wholesome characters to play. the acting looks good but not the racy scences won't see this because of them. just an opinion. we each are entitled to our own oh and edr has to go will never be as beautiful as kristen.

The ONLY way they'll get me to watch this lame movie is if a Eclipse trailer. Like it or not Summit is only promoting this movie and not giving us any Eclipse stuff so it doesn't eclipse this movie. I'm tired of waiting for a trailer ! And this movie will only make money because of Twilight fans. Nobody cares to watch Emilie except for her little fanbase. I didn't even know who this girl was.

Dear Summit, Your ad is misleading and oversimplifies this story. Dont try to sell this movie as a romance. It is not. Next T.V. spot should focus on the family drama, or you might not get as many casual viewers. Dont rely solely on Rob's twilight fanbase to sell it. Get the ads going during Lost- to get Emilie's fans to see it too.

Lenses / Re: Canon EF 24-70 f/4L IS Coming [CR3]« on: December 11, 2012, 09:01:22 AM »
Hasn't anyone noticed the smile icon in my post ?I beg to differ. The 24-70 f/4L IS will go nicely with the 70-200 f/4L IS. Only 24-70 2.8L II goes nicely with the 70-200 f/2.8L IS II. You have to match your lenses or they will feel uncomfortableDoes not make any sense to me. I have various lenses with various f stops and they all go 'nicely together'.
Neither to me - it depends on what you want. If a shallow dof is required f2.8 on a wider lens is more important than on a tele lens. If the lens is required to be "fast" for low-light shooting it's the other way around.

Comments about 2013 National Geographic Islands Wall Calendar:
I was disappointed with the Islands calendar. First I expected real National Geographic photographs, not stock photos that I see in travel brochures. Secondly, the quality of the paper is not up to par, too light a weight. Thirdly, the design is pedestrian, very little thought. Pictures and a grid. Fourthly the color reproduction is not up to National Geographic standards. Fifth, given that they are stock photographs, they are not even good stock photographs. An unimaginative selection. Lastly, there is a lack of geographical diversity. I wish I had bought from somewhere else.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Warning to beware rogue tradesman in Blackburn
7:00pm Thursday 6th December 2012 in News
RESIDENTS are being urged to be on their guard against rogue traders offering services on the doorstep.
Blackburn with Darwen Council warn that unscrupulous tradesmen often mislead residents as to the extent of work needed, overcharge for a simple repair or even demand money for work that they haven't actually finished.
In some cases, no paperwork is provided and receipts don't contain enough information to track the trader down if something goes wrong.
Councillor Yusuf Jan-Virmani, executive member for neighbourhoods, housing and customer services, said: "Always get several quotes from reputable businesses for a job and make sure you know exactly who a trader is before putting them to work." The council runs a free home maintenance advice service which can help you to assess whether work needs to be done, give you advice on choosing a reputable trader.
If you're a homeowner in Blackburn with Darwen phone 01254 588886 for more details.

Senior Day and a Championship Game Highlight Contest with Detroit on Sunday
Related Links
In the four year history of JU women's lacrosse there have been plenty of firsts. The first win came over Detroit in 2009. The first win against a top-20 opponent came against #19 Denver in 2010. The first conference title followed that year. The first NCAA scoring title was recorded after the 2011 season. All along the way, a group of eight seniors were a part of the successful rise of Dolphin lacrosse from a first year program to a nationally competitive team.
More important than the many firsts has been the legacy of lacrosse that the seniors have passed on to the next generation of championship players. Freshman Kelsey Wiglesworth has seen their encouragement and mentoring first hand. The freshman who has seen action in nearly every game and competed along side of the senior class wouldn't change a single thing.
"They make me feel comfortable n and off the first. They give great advise to make me feel confident. They are great role models. Hannon has been giving me great advise in the draw. She knows exactly what is going on and let's me know before I go the field. That helps me be successful," said Wiglesworth, the freshman from Towson, Maryland.
"The team is very determined. The seniors have helped our team believe in ourselves and they have shown us the way".
Coach Mindy McCord couldn't agree more. She got a late start in recruiting her first class but has benefitted from the good fortune of those seniors who have created a multiple championship program.
"When you talk about this class in terms of the type of people they are, they are the best people you could possibly want to be around. They are uplifting, nurturing, competitive, and have impeccable standards. You want to hire these young women right now. There are not many around like them and their success is a byproduct of who they are," said McCord.
"We have a chance on Sunday to send them out three time champions. Now that is remarkable. We say before every game that our goal is not to win or lose the game, but to play in a manner that is remembered. This group does that. They have pioneered a style of play that is fun to watch. They will have won fifty games by the time they graduate. Fifty games won by a senior class does not happen often, if ever. While none of our eight players were a top 100 recruit coming out of high school, all of them have shown that they are amongst the best college players in the nation. Coaching them has been something that our staff and I will never forget. They will always be remembered here at JU."
Game time is noon against Detroit. Detroit has win two straight games and three of their last five.
"UD is a second half team. They play their best lacrosse at the end of the year. They are going to give us a serious push because they know they are one win away from the championship themselves. We need to get back to playing our game and taking care of the little things. Against UNC we never took care of the ball. That was a bad game to have a bad game fundamentally and UNC made us pay for it. We can't play that way against any opponent and be successful, forget about their ranking. It's time to get back to being the team we are supposed to be."

|Low histamine children are hyperactive while often healthy in other respects.
|It has been found that 50% of patients classified as "schizophrenic" have low histamine levels in the blood and it rises to normal as they improve. These same patients are found to have high copper levels. Elevated copper decreases blood histamine. Excess copper is linked with psychosis. People with histapenia tend to have classic signs of schizophrenia, including canker sores, difficult orgasm with sex, no headaches or allergies, heavy growth of body hair, ideas of grandeur, undue suspicion of people, racing thoughts, the feeling that someone controls one's mind, seeing or hearing things abnormally, ringing in the ears, and others.
|Copper levels are usually elevated in patients with histapenia. Manganese and zinc supplementation increase copper excretion.
|Excess copper may be acquired from commercial vitamins and minerals or drinking water flowing through copper pipes. Distilled water may occasionally be needed to reduce copper intake.
|The rationale underlying this treatment is that folic acid in conjunction with vitamin B12 injections raises the blood histamine while lowering the degree of symptoms.
|Zinc and manganese with vitamin C remove copper from the tissues. Copper destroys histamine and therefore as copper levels decrease, histamine levels should return towards normal.

September 11 Digital Archive: XML Document
Story:On the morning of September 11th 2001, I was in school at the Monticello High School. I was in Math class, 2nd hour. The principal of our school came and talked to our teacher in the hallway for a brief moment. When Mrs. Hadfield came back into the classroom, she finished up reviewing the lesson for about 5 minutes. I don't know how she kept silent about it for those 5 minutes. Then she broke the news by saying "Something is happening right now that will change history. It will change your future, the world, and it will go into the history books of the United States of America." She turned on the t.v. The first tower had been hit. We thought it was an accident. The frightened news woman told us that it was terrorists. Then, with the nation's eyes on the flaming tower, a plane flew into the second one. I was in Minnesota, yet saw it live with my very eyes. I will never forget those terrible moments, which live vividly in my mind, and i will remember it forever.
Life Changed:My life has changed in the way that I don't trust arab countries, and still, though I try, some Arab people. I realize how lucky I am to have family alive, and i realize who the real heroes in this day and age are. Amen to the firefighters, people of New York city, and the men of Flight 93.
Should be remembered:The people who died innocently, who gave their life on their own will, and how it pulled our nation together.
Flag:We did before, and still after. I love the flag more, i realize what it stands for because I experienced it's true glory, not did i just read about it in a history book. I absolutely love the American flag and our great country. It's the best in the world!

El Campo actor makes "Homebound" movie

Meet the cast

Cristobal Lamas - Sebastian
If you want to get involved, visit www.homeboundmovie.com.
EL CAMPO - Jeremiah Ocanas returned to his Texas roots to film the movie "Homebound."
And just like his character, "Richard Lynn," he has come full circle.
"In all great stories you have, you end up at home somehow," he said.
The concept hit the El Campo native while he was stuck in a Los Angeles traffic jam.
The film's protagonist, Richard, leaves his thriving corporate lifestyle upon his estranged father's request. Gilberto wants his son to take over the family bar. However, Sunnyside Saloon brings gloomy memories to the lead character. It is the same place where his mother was killed.
During his journey, Richard mends relationships and rediscovers his childhood hometown.
Ocanas met with screenwriter Fanny Veliz for almost a year to work on the script.
The true-to-life movie has a universal theme, but with a Latino cast. Veliz wanted to break away from stereotypical roles.
The Venezuelan director said roles for minorities have been limited, historically.
"Instead of waiting for roles, I created them," she said.
Veliz's big dream was challenged by small funds. However, she used social media to receive individual donations through crowd funding.
The budget for the motion picture is $150,000. Criolla Films still needs financial assistance for the film's post-production costs.
Enrique Castillo heard about the film from the hills of Hollywood. He lent his time and talent to the project.
The Screen Actors Guild nominated actor said the quality of his role as Gilberto surpasses the compensation.
Castillo, who had a recurring role in the television show "Weeds" and starred with Denzel Washington in "Deja Vu," said he appreciated the Texas-sized hospitality. "It's like a family affair."
The cast comes from California and even Venezuela. But the El Campo community made the dream of "Homebound" become a reality.
"If I wanted to do it in L.A., I wouldn't be able to. The community has been so supportive and excited," Veliz said.
People have donated their time, food, lodging and transportation.
Ocanas' life has been enriched by the community support. And being able to serve his hometown is its own reward.
The father of two wants to expose local children to the arts because there is no community theater.
Ocanas has lived in Los Angeles for the last seven years, but he misses everything about El Campo. For him, each visit home just gets better.
"A lot of people go that full circle. They've brought back what they've learned. And I feel like I'm on that journey as well."

Major Windows Phone 7 update 'Mango' may deliver HTML 5 support and more
We have heard that Windows Phone 7 is to get some small, iterative updates in the beginning of 2011 including copy and paste support as well as better, more streamlined developer tools. According to Mary Jo Foley over at ZDNet, someone who happens to be a very trusted Microsoft source, says that a larger update codenamed 'Mango' will bring a whole slew of tweaks and features, possibly including HTML 5 support.
Foley isn't dismissing the small updates in the earlier part of 2011, she is saying that a larger, Mango update may happen halfway through the year. This update may even be a different software version, Windows Phone 7.5, as it will bring a bunch of functionality including the Silverlight runtime, Far Eastern language support and possibly more Exchange Active Sync features.
Foley also has a feeling that the first and second "smaller" updates may be combined together for one update in January/February. There has been no confirmation from Microsoft on the validity of this update, as MS is probably working hard to have a nice launch for Verizon and Sprint for their CES presentation. It looks like we will have to wait for anything really groundbreaking or exciting when it comes to Windows Phone 7 until early to mid next year.

The great critic Andrew Sarris, who wrote for The Village Voice and more recently, The New York Observer, is dead at age 83. According to his wife Molly Haskell in The NYTimes, he died from an infection after a fall. My best wishes go to Haskell ("From Reverence to Rape"), who was as erudite and passionate about film as her husband.
When I was growing up in Manhattan, feeding on movies at the Thalia, New Yorker and Elgin and working at the Bleecker Street Cinema during my stint at NYU Cinema Studies, Andy and Molly were the gracious and generous first couple of cinema, looked up to and admired.
No one, not New Yorker critic Pauline Kael, not anyone, has done more to change the way we watch, interpret and think about movies, than Andrew Sarris.
Yes, Sarris is famous for the "Circles and Squares" roundelay with Kael. Why did she see fit to attack Sarris's tossed-off 1963 piece in Film Culture about the Auteur Theory? (Sarris had no idea it would be the most widely read and influential article of his career.) She was challenging an arch-rival. Over the years, she championed younger critics who admired her colorful prose style, who were known as Paulettes, among them the New Yorker's David Denby, EW's Owen Gleiberman, The Baltimore Sun's Michael Sragow, and ex-NYT critic Elvis Mitchell. Sarris's more scholarly followers were called auteurists, among them Time's Richard Corliss, the NYT's Dave Kehr, THR's Todd McCarthy, and Chicago Reader critic Jonathan Rosenbaum. Finally Kael held onto her fave filmmakers as much as Sarris.
Inspired by the French New Wave, Sarris's signature accomplishment was to create a way of organizing, categorizing and evaluating directors. In his must-read 1968 classic "The American Cinema," he provided for generations of film fans and critics a way of indexing what had been a completely chaotic hodge-podge of movies. Before Sarris there was no pantheon. People didn't think Hitchcock, Hawks, Welles and Ford were the great master auteurs. Sarris popularized that way of thinking, basically. We could all disagree with him--I thought more highly of John Huston and Billy Wilder than he did (he later recanted on Wilder)--but man did he know his stuff.
What we've lost, what cinema has lost, is one of the great critical minds. Sarris had seen it all. (Okay, so maybe he wasn't as showy a writer as Kael. But no one knew as much about as many movies as he did.) Hitchcock's "Psycho" confused and dismayed many critics when it came out in 1960. But Sarris recognized his genius:
"Hitchcock is the most daring avant-garde filmmaker in America today. Besides making previous horror films look like variations of 'Pollyanna,' 'Psycho' is overlaid with a richly symbolic commentary on the modern world as a public swamp in which human feelings and passions are flushed down the drain."
He was my hero.
I am collecting pieces on Sarris. Stay tuned.
Here's Carrie Rickey. Todd McCarthy, Bill Desowitz, Annette Insdorf, Leonard Maltin. Corliss's Sarris tribute is here.
Brian | June 21, 2012 1:38 PM
My mentor in film school, nearly 40 years ago, was an older student who was a disciple of Sarris and had worked for him as a research assistant, so I would say that Sarris was a key influence on the development of my interest in and knowledge of film. I remember the first Sam Fuller film I saw. I was a freshman in college and I had to set the alarm and wake up at 4AM to catch "The Steel Helmet" on the Late, Late Show on Channel 2 (WCBS-TV). It was quite a revelation and an auteurist was born. I began to appreciate Kael more later in life, but Sarris was, in his way, an important teacher in the crucial years.
Tom Brueggemann | June 20, 2012 8:20 PM
My whole life, my whole existence is due to Andrew Sarris. My reading of The American Cinema in early 1969 when I was still in high school basically changed my priorities and goals of my life (though film became a profession rather than a hobby only after college).
His championing of so many directors who had not until him gotten their due - even Hitchcock and Ford, but even more importantly almost totally unacclaimed ones (in the US at least) like Don Siegel, Sam Fuller, Raoul Walsh, Budd Boetticher to name just a few makes him arguably the most influential critic in film history. Obviously introducing auteurism to an American audience, and its perversion into meaning things he never intended, has been a mixed bag. (Sarris never claimed every director was the author of his films, but rather than a great director could control the means of becoming the author even within the studio system).
I had the pleasure of meeting him all the way back in college (I asked him more than 40 years ago what American film he had not seen that he most wanted to - his surprising choice was Garson Kanin's "A Man to Remember," which finally showed up, and promoted as a rediscover, on TCM a few years ago). Later in New York I was able to spend more time with him, and more than anything remember his humor, his friendliness and his generosity in answering whatever questions posed him.
Condolences to Molly and all those closest to him.
Joe Beatty | June 20, 2012 7:59 PM
Sarris was a giant.
DJAY | June 20, 2012 4:03 PM
Was fortunate enough to enroll in a few of his 'auteur study' seminars at Columbia. A lovely man, humorous, laconic but always insightful. Never have forgotten his memorable, bottom line quip about the movies (if I can paraphrase): "We go to movies to watch the eyes of beautiful women .... movie stars. " Camera don't lie. RIP, Professor Sarris.

The cold weather is disrupting more than just daily routines – it's hitting some folks hard in the pocketbooks! Litisha Pearson latest gas bill was almost $200. SCANA told FOX 5 that its customers have used 60 to 70 percent more gas this January compared to last year. Pearson is a great example of that; she's bumped her thermostat up to 72. But there's a high price for the heat.Josephine Mosley uses propane gas in her house. With the frigid weather, she's running through the $300 tanks in record time.Jennifer Jenkins sells propane for Spalding Gas Company and although she says prices have not gone up much here, nationwide, propane has hit price levels not seen in nearly 25 years in part because demand is so high."Customers ordering gas every two weeks as opposed to every two months or more. Their consumption is going up a great deal," Jenkins said.With consumption going up, Van Morris' inventory is going out. He sells firewood on Jonesboro Road and he was all but sold out by Christmas."The majority of my customers are people that have pretty nice homes that can't afford natural gas and it's a shame I guess," Morris said.

In a violent Lehigh Acres robbery, attackers held the victims for 2 hours in their home, while they ransacked the place.
The couple, a 49 year-old man and his 67 year-old wife, was beaten too.
Officials with the Lee County Sheriff's Office say they believe this crime was random. It happened around 7pm on Wanatah Avenue South. Deputies say the husband was in his garage, with the door open when 4 men forced their way inside. Then, they made the couple sit on their couch while they went room to room, taking jewelry and electronics.
Those in the area still seem to be a little nervous.
"This is very unfortunate. I think it's the luck of the draw and I wouldn't want that to happen to anybody. We need to look out for everybody," says Dale Moses.
This crime happened about a week ago and detectives are now pleading with the public for clues.
If you have any information, call Crime Stoppers.
The couple is recovering from the violent encounter.

Waddock makes rallying call ahead of Oxford United home debut
9:20am Friday 4th April 2014 in Sport By David Pritchard, Chief Sports Reporter covering Oxford United. Follow us on twitter: @oxfordmailoufc. Call me on 01865 425458
A FORTNIGHT on from sneaking in the back door to watch Oxford United's previous home game, Gary Waddock is relishing an opportunity to make a higher profile entrance tomorrow.
After two games on the road, the clash with Fleetwood Town is the new head coach's first game in charge at the Kassam Stadium.
The spotlight will be on Waddock, something he actively avoided in the 1-0 win over Hartlepool United last month.
It came hours after verbally accepting the role, but, with the contract not signed until the following day, he watched the victory from the press box.
The 52-year-old will be much closer to the action tomorrow.
He said: "I'm looking forward to coming out for the first home game in front of the fans.
"I want the team to perform and show them what we're trying to do.
"The lads have worked extremely hard and I'm very proud to be the manager of this football club."
Managing at the Kassam will not be a new experience, though.
Waddock's Aldershot side won 3-2 in a Conference clash six seasons ago, while he guided Wycombe Wanderers to a 2-2 draw almost exactly three years ago.
As a visiting boss he admitted the U's fans were always a force to be reckoned with and he stressed their role cannot be underestimated, particularly during the run-in.
"They can make it a very difficult atmosphere for Fleetwood," he said.
"Let's hope we can put on a performance so they can get right behind us and that'll give us a chance.
"I've been in the other dugout and I know how loud they can get and what the atmosphere is like.
"If we can create that again on Saturday it'll give us the extra man.
"They're very vocal and even the away fans when they come to grounds I've been at before as a manager, the noise they create is fantastic.
"If we can have that at home the players will get a real high from that and hopefully performance levels will rise as well."
Back-to-back defeats on the road mean the mood could be tense tomorrow if Fleetwood get their noses in front.
The setbacks at Sout-hend and Dagenham, even though the latter came via a bizarre own goal, have seen United's advantage over the sides outside the play-offs slip away.
Waddock has been encouraged by the response in training, but admitted restoring confidence could only genuinely come from what happens on a matchday.
He said: "Results help massively in terms of that.
"Performances help, but three points are the key to it all. If you can get on a run of winning games that gives you the confidence.
"We need to do that very quickly."

Reviews for
Breasts : A Natural and Unnatural History
AudioFile Reviews 2012 July
Breasts are a lot of things. They're sexy. They're utilitarian. They're also sponges for the industrial chemicals we so blithely release into our environment. Whether they're pumped full of silicone, or simply with BPA and flame retardant, the life of the 21st-century female breast is at once fascinating and unsettling. Kate Reading narrates Williams's thorough research with a singsong intonation that is, oddly, almost too feminine for the material. Her lovely voice is just a shade too gentle to fully capture Williams's sharp wit. That being said, after hours of hearing about all the brutal ways our environment is poisoning women and girls via their breasts, listeners will be grateful for Reading's soothing, reassuring tones.

Alpers Fine Art, formerly a Main Street gallery, is hosting an open house Saturday on Nutmeg Lane for a new one-person show.
The new show, Wanderlust, showcases 16 paintings by North Shore artist Jan V. Roy. The paintings in Wanderlust represent a cross-section of Roy's new and recent work, inspired by her travels to locales in the U.S. and overseas, according to gallery owner Peter Alpers.
The exhibit opened yesterday, Wednesday, and runs until Sept. 8 at Alpers Fine Art In-Home, 15 Nutmeg Lane in Andover. This Saturday, July 21, the gallery will host an open house and artist's reception from 5 to 8 p.m. It is free, open to all, and wheelchair-accessible.
"We've converted the downstairs on the same level of the backyard, into a multi-purpose room," said Alpers. "That's how I started, way back when, before the [gallery] on Main Street," he said. I had an in-home gallery back in 1999."
Weekly gallery hours are Saturday and Sunday noon to 5, other times by appointment.
"Before returning to painting in the early 1990s, Jan had a distinguished and successful career designing promotional posters for prominent cultural institutions and events, such as the Portland Symphony Orchestra, the Boston Opera Company, Mass. Horticulture, and the Brooklyn Bridge Centennial Celebration. As a painter, she brings the same sharp eye, distinctive compositional slant, and luscious palette that made her posters so recognizably her own," said Alpers.
"I have enormous admiration for Jan," Alpers said. "Her fearlessness has led to solo travel - by bicycle, no less - in such exotic places as Morocco and Myanmar (Burma). The paintings that Jan distills from those adventures incorporate a refined sense of observation, an irrepressible need to see the planet firsthand, and talent to burn."

The Air Quality Act gave the EPA sweeping powers to regulate atmosphere pollutants, but not inside the home. Little did we know when the act was signed into law 40 years ago that the air inside our homes could be as bad or even worse for our health than city smog. Now that we know, the agency has been under pressure to design guidelines for indoor air quality, especially since our efforts to trim down energy consumption through reducing air infiltration has resulted in the unintended consequence of increasing indoor pollution risks.
In November, the EPA unveiled voluntary protocols for reducing risks from indoor air contaminants due to energy-efficiency upgrades to residential buildings. "Healthy Indoor Environment Protocols for Home Energy Upgrades
" details assessment practices as well as mitigation actions that should be taken for common home contaminants such as asbestos, radon, lead, ozone, carbon monoxide, polychlorinated biphenyls, and air pollutants associated with vehicle emissions in garages, including benzene and other volatile organic compounds. The guide is aimed at the home energy industry and includes recommendations for heating and cooling systems and ventilation for small and large appliances. The document, developed along with Department of Energy and the White House Council on Environmental Quality home energy initiatives, applies to single- and multifamily homes for use during weatherization and other energy-efficient remodeling projects.
"Homeowners, occupants, and the energy services industry will benefit greatly from this simple and clear guidance for addressing critical indoor air quality risks during home energy upgrades," air chief Gina McCarthy said in a statement.
