Last week I wrote about the various stages of Apple (AAPL) product releases, ranging from the early rumors to the hype just before and after the product announcement to the inevitable letdown, nitpicking and faux scandals once consumers and bloggers discover that the new gadget is not perfect.
It didn't take long for complaints to start rolling in about the new iPhone 5 and Apple's new iOS 6 operating system. And once again, some relatively minor problems have been elevated to the level of a major national scandal with names like ScuffGate, MapGate or my favorite, NaviGate.
ScuffGate refers to scuff marks or scratches some users have encountered on the aluminum back, prompting Apple Senior Vice President Phil Schiller to point out in an email obtained by 9to5Mac that "any aluminum product may scratch or chip with use, exposing its natural silver color." I immediately bought a $29 case for my iPhone 5 to protect it against breaking and got scuff mark protection for no extra charge.
The biggest fracas is over Apple's new mapping app, which affects not only iPhone 5 users but anyone who's downloaded the new iOS 6 operating system that also runs on some earlier versions of the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. As expected, Apple removed Google (GOOG) Maps and replaced it with its own app, which has been found to have some humorous flaws, such as designating New York's Madison Square Garden as "green space" or identifying a farm as an airport. The app finds railway stations in Japan that aren't even near rail lines. Tokyo's main airport is labeled as a paper factory.
I've been using the mapping app for about a week. While I have my complaints, it isn't all that terrible -- at least based on my travels around the Bay Area. To its credit, it provides turn-by-turn directions, a feature that Google has long included in the Android version of Google Maps, but not on the iOS version that Apple used to offer. And like the old Google Maps, it's integrated with Siri, which is incredibly useful if you need to enter a location while you're driving. Just tell Siri where you want to go and, if she's online and if she understands you and knows where it is, she'll get you there.
Those are big ifs. Siri is a cloud-based voice recognition system, so she needs a data connection and her servers need to be in working order, which isn't always the case. But even if she's online, she sometimes misunderstands me, which can result in her asking me to repeat myself or -- worse -- taking me to the wrong location.
Siri is actually a lot smarter than she used to be. With iOS 6 she knows about movie schedules and reviews, sports scores and restaurants. But Apple's new mapping and navigation app isn't nearly as smart as the Google app it replaced because it lacks Google's vast database on businesses and other locations.
One of my complaints about Apple maps is that the text showing your time and distance to destination is way too small. I have to squint to read it, which is not so good while you're driving. It's also surprisingly unintuitive to use. I had to consult the manual that you can download by searching the Web or from Apple iBooks for free.
Also, when you search for a point of interest, it shows them on a map, which isn't nearly as easy as presenting them as a list.
One complaint about all the maps I've tested is that they don't' give you good information if you search for "hospital" or "emergency room." My top hit for "hospital" on Google Maps was a local drugstore, and on Apple maps it popped up a medical laboratory as its first hit. When I asked Siri to "take me to the nearest hospital," she directed me to an endocrine medical center.
On the positive side, Siri and Apple maps are pretty good at finding nearby restaurants. I don't always agree with her, but if you ask Siri for "best nearby restaurants," she'll sort them by Yelp rating.
As for the iPhone 5 itself, I'm happy with mine, but it's not as great as some of the early reviews suggest with words like "gem." I like the larger screen and there is no question that high-speed LTE data is a plus, as long as you're in an LTE area and don't worry about having to pay extra for all that data you can now download even faster. I've had mixed results with battery life and wound up having to dim the screen and turn off Wi-Fi to get through a day on one charge. As far as I can tell, battery life is about the same as on the iPhone 4S.
I consider the iPhone 5 to be an incremental improvement over the 4S. It's a worthy upgrade, but nothing to get too excited about. I'm glad I bought one, but unlike a real gem, it will lose value over time and, a year from now, will be out of date.

Women Diets: Healthy Lunchbox Makeovers
Think what's in your brown bag would pass muster with a professional nutritionist? You might be surprised to learn how poor your diet really is
The thing is that a lot of us simply don't know how to eat healthily -- whether we're dieting or not. And, since a personal nutritionist is cost prohibitive for all but a lucky few of us, we're pretty much left to our own devices when it comes to figuring out what to eat. Even here at Total Beauty, where looking good and being fit is our business, most of us fall short in the "eating for optimum health" category.
That's why we thought it would be fun to enlist the help of celebrity nutritionist, and natural health/beauty expert Kimberly Snyder in making over our lunches. We asked Snyder, whose diet expertise has worked wonders on all sorts of celebs like Drew Barrymore, Fergie and Channing Tatum, to critique Total Beauty staffers' lunches. We wanted her honest (read: sometimes harsh) opinion on the choices we're making and her professional recommendations for what we should be eating instead.
See the dramatic lunchbox makeovers.
The result? Nine complete lunchbox makeovers. For the next couple of months, Tuesday will be "Lunchbox Makeover" day and you'll get to see what Snyder thought of an individual staffer's menu and find out her suggestions for making the meal more healthful. (She's the consummate pro at this as her new book, "The Beauty Detox" illustrates beyond the shadow of a doubt.)
Did our staffers take Snyder's advice to heart? You bet. Will they forever and always adhere to her every word and suggestion? Probably not, but knowledge, as they say, is power and we're all definitely wiser when it comes to nutrition now thanks to her frank assessments.
So, without any further ado, let's begin with the first "guinea pig"�

I must say, I am glad not to be a guest at Kimberly's table. Most of these "victims" are making a concerted effort to be healthy while enjoying their lunches. Enjoying is the part that will be lacking in Kimberly's lunches. Nice to look good and live a long time, but not if it is without joy.

I really enjoy this article, but I find it discouraging that even the tofu eater was picked apart. First of all what is LEFT for us too eat these days??? Unless I go to the store and spend literally my entire food budget on organic fruits and veggies, then I'm out of options. Especially with a nut allergy things are increasingly harder to eat, and I mean coconut as well. Also some people are stuck working an all day job with no refrigerator so what are we suppose to do? It's getting so hard just to find something that wasn't made in a lab and it makes me sick but our FDA is setting us up to fail. They are allowing all these nasty fake things to be fed to us I feel like a Turkey being fattened up, which makes a lot of sense if you eat margarine btw because that stuff was invented to make our food fat... and now it's made us fat.

this is very helpful, but also a little impractical. It's difficult and a little expensive to get and pack some of these foods for lunch at work.

Eat more raw! I feel great am 85 to 95 percent raw. A slow process but well worth it.

This article is very informative but this kind of dieting only works on some people. You need protein in your diet to help maintain muscle strength.

I would revamp each and every one of these meals to the hilt. The suggested substitutions might be better, but these meals need to be completely redone. Nice try for the short run. Not good for the long term.

How do you eat fresh brown rice out of a lunch box??? The suggestions are healthy but not practical for someone truly eating from a lunch box. I do pack an iced cooler daily, but I can't grill or steam anything from my car. Also some of these are much more time consuming. Can you offer practical solutions?

I agree with her on the diet sodas but most of these lunches seem a LOT healthier than many people eat and I do not know anyone who would want to stay on her diet for any length of time. I know I wouldn't..

RICHMOND -- After months of raucous campaigning and unprecedented local political spending, the city's soda tax proposal that drew national attention is dead.
At least for now.
"We took a lot of criticism that this tax was more appropriate on the state or national level," said Councilman Jeff Ritterman, a retired cardiologist and the leader of the volunteer-led Yes on N efforts. "We pushed our efforts forward here, even in defeat ... it's only a matter of time before we see (larger) efforts take hold, too."
Measure N, which could have made Richmond the first city in the nation to impose on businesses a tax on all sugar-sweetened beverages, was drubbed at the polls Tuesday, with nearly 67 percent of voters opposed.
But supporters, including Ritterman, wonder whether this was a Pyrrhic victory for the beverage industry, which spent about $2.5 million to garner fewer than 17,000 votes, roughly $150 per vote.
"We won in so many ways," Ritterman said. "We pushed the conversation about their poisonous products, we raised awareness, and we forced Big Soda to spend money in our city. I encourage every city everywhere to take on this effort; it will benefit them."
One other city joined Richmond in defeat Tuesday. The soda industry spent about half what it did in Richmond to crush an identical penny-per-ounce tax measure in El Monte, a Los Angeles County suburb with a slightly larger population than Richmond. Measure H in El Monte drew 76 percent no votes and had scant community support.
Chuck Finnie of Barnes, Mosher, Whitehurst, Lauter and Partners, the San Francisco-based public relations firm hired with American Beverage Association funds to wage the No on N campaign in Richmond, disagreed with Ritterman's claim that Measure N would inspire copycats.
"The elections in Richmond and El Monte are a repudiation of the notion that we can fight obesity through taxation of certain products," Finnie said. "It's futile to fight obesity with new taxes that hit families in the pocketbook, hurt local businesses and give a blank check to City Hall."
Efforts to tax sugary drinks had gained some momentum as governments grapple with strained budgets and expanding waistlines. El Monte faces a fiscal crisis, and Richmond may have to reduce worker benefits and find other savings to balance its budget this year. Both are majority-minority communities, with childhood obesity rates around 50 percent.
The Washington D.C.-based ABA -- which represents PepsiCo, Coca-Cola, Dr Pepper and other beverage companies -- has been largely successful in beating back local, state and federal taxes and regulations in recent years, spending millions to do so.
On Election Day, dozens of poor and working-class residents were paid $12 per hour to hold "No on N" signs on street corners and do other campaign work.
Measure N supporters were outspent by about 40 to 1 and drew most of their door-to-door and advertising campaign energy from volunteers and small donors. Ritterman was particularly tireless, and earned near-celebrity status with dozens of interviews on the topic with worldwide media eager to tell the story of the blue-collar city trying to become the first to tax sugar-sweetened beverages.
It all resulted in more than 8,000 yes votes.
"The money poured in here was totally unheard of, unimaginable," said Mike Parker, editor of the Richmond Progressive Alliance's newsletter. "And yet we were still competitive because people understand the message once we get past all the campaign garbage big money buys."
Measure N's companion, Measure O, was an advisory measure stating that the estimated $2 million to $4 million in annual proceeds from the tax should go to youth health and recreation programs. The anti-N campaign spent virtually no time or money opposing the advisory measure. Measure O passed with nearly 64 percent of the vote.

Heritage Foundation Plans News Site
The Heritage Foundation, a think tank that has added a political operation to gain a more direct role in politics, is now planning to launch a digital news site next month called the Daily Signal.
The site will offer both nonpartisan news and conservative commentary, with a clear distinction between the two, Heritage says.
Heritage chose Robert Bluey, currently the director of Heritage's Center for Media and Public Policy, to be editor in chief, and Ken McIntyre, Heritage's special projects editor and former editor at the Washington Times, will oversee a group of mostly freelance investigative journalists on the news end. Earlier this year, Mr. McIntyre was appointed news director of Heritage's conservative policy news blog, the Foundry.
The operation has hired one reporter and has plans to hire a news producer, Mr. Bluey said. It will rely largely on a group of several freelance investigative reporters.
To be launched June 3, the Daily Signal will aim to fill what its creators see as a void in American journalism. "Our core sense was that the traditional news organizations are kind of under-resourced, understaffed," said Geoffrey Lysaught, vice president of strategic communications at the Heritage Foundation. That, he said, has hampered those organizations' ability to conduct high-quality investigative reporting, which is "doing a disservice to the future of the country."
The publication's target audience will be a group that Mr. Lysaught said is underserved—readers who are "interested in what's going on in Washington, but they find it very difficult to get trustworthy information."
The Daily Signal will not have a print edition nor will it rely on ads for funding since the Heritage Foundation will fully back the operation. Heritage has hired Atlantic Media Strategies, a digital consulting firm that has designed sites including Quartz and The Wire, to design the Daily Signal for mobile and tablet platforms, which creators expect to be the primary way its on-the-go audience reads the news and commentary.
Mr. Bluey said he does not expect the Daily Signal's audience to overlap with those of conservative publications like The Daily Caller and The Blaze. "It's a changing media landscape," he said. "We feel that there's a great opportunity for us to step in and fill a void that we think exists."

CRYSTAL BAY, Nev. — The Afrofunk Experience is back. The ensemble's instrumentation of dual guitars, bass, drums, percussion and trio of horns plays free in the Crystal Bay Casino Crown Room on Friday, Sept. 7. The Mark Sexton Band plays the after-party in the Red Room.Formed in 2004, the band has played in the Red Room before, but has made the jump to the larger venue on the west side of the historic casino. This marks Afrofunk's fourth Crown Room appearance. Band co-founder and bassist Wendell Rand (who has performed with Pleasuremaker and Afrolicious) leads the cast with low-end dance grooves. Tasteful, precise and very funky drummer Tai Kenning (Junk, Yacouba Diarra), is a serious study in afrobeat/afrofunk drum work. Guitarist David James (Beth Custer), former six-string slinger for the Coup and Michael Franti's Spearhead, brings his explorative, sinewy, rhythmic approach to counter guitarist Ken House's (H. P. Riot, Wade Love Band) chunky funk rhythms and funk metal solos that recall the heyday of Parliament-Funkadelic. Saxophonist David Boyce (Broun Fellinis, Ronkat Spearman), trumpeter Mike Pitre (Bohemian Knuckle Boogie, Joe Louis Walker) and trombonist Andre Webb (Howard Wiley), also offer stylings from classic Wailers to Ethiopian-style Randamp;B of the early '70s. The Afrofunk Experience is a recent winner of The SF Weekly Music Award's Best International Act. The band has played the Boom Boom Room, 111 Minna, The Independent, Slim's, the Great American Music Hall, and The Mezzanine and many other live music venues in the SF Bay Area. Festival appearances include Stern Grove, Fillmore Jazz Festival, Outside Lands and the Carnival. Other performances were at many world music parties like Earthdance SolFest, Sierra Nevada Music Festival, Salem World Music Festival, Cape May Jazz Festival, San Francisco Best of the Bay and S.F. Bay Guardian's Best of the Bay Awards.

African Mango Supplement Reviews
African Mango is a popular dietary supplement that many call a "breakthrough' in the weight loss industry. The tropical rainforest of African and Southeast Asia is home to this fruit, and although the fruit is nutritious, the mango is more prized for its core, which the natives call ogbono. The extract derived from the core of the African Mango or Irvingia gabonensis, claims to have been clinically proven to hinder fat production by affectation on certain enzymes and genes in the human body that regulate metabolism. This supplement is also supposed to be able to reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol, and lower blood sugar levels.
Another way that African Mango is supposed to be good for you is that it acts like a super-fiber—binding cholesterol and removing it from the body before it can be absorbed. Some claim it also significantly reduces inflammation. Further studies have also shown that it may trigger the brain to suppress the appetite. Leptin, which is a naturally occurring hormone in the body that controls the appetite, is triggered by African Mango and reverses the effects of high levels of C-reactive protein (CPR) which lessens the overall effectiveness of leptin.
Many times African Mango is used in conjunction with other powerful superfruits, such as acai berry to power-pack the potency of this supplement. This extract can be purchased as a tea, or in capsule form, as well as tablets and drops. Many people are claiming to lose large amounts of weight in a relatively short period time with this all-natural African Mango supplement.

Postbox is a new desktop email client that better enables you to find, organize, and use email messages and content.
Postbox helps you make the most of your email, offering powerful new ways to find, use, and view email messages and content, organize your work life, and get stuff done. Postbox works behind the scenes to catalog everything in your email. We mean everything: every bit of text, every contact, address and link. Every picture, document and attachment. It's all in the catalog and it's all searchable.

I like postbox. Very useful are the features: the opening of mails in tabs and the posibility of tagging mails and summarizing of replys.
I'm liking the features in Postbox. Do notice there is a considerable slowness with loading when switching between different mail boxes or messages. If the speed increases it will be great
Postbox was always commercial. They recently released their prices: http://postbox-inc.com/?/blog/entry/postbox_beta_14_product_options_and_pricing/
Postbox is nice, and I did use it for quite a while. However, it's essentially just a handful of features bolted on to Thunderbird.
While free, that was fine, but I was very surprised when I received an email about pricing, as it now seems like they are trying to profit from Mozilla's work with as little coding as possible. This is why the LGPL/MPL for programs is often unwise.
Awesome app, bit sluggish, but already better on most points then Mail.app.
Mail.app for instance doesn't even have privacy protection for spamm with images!
PS: Great google mail imap integration :D Something Mail.app has trouble with too..
good effort, but yeh looks likes its based on mozilla (noticed from the import dialog)
On my thrice-cursed Vista 64 it's the only mail app that will continue to work and actually retrieve my mail for more than 5 minutes. I think it's much better than Thunderbird or Windows Mail but I would never dream of switching to it on my Macs. So until the Windows world comes out with something remotely as good as Mail, I'll be sticking with Postbox.
Looks promising but like Firefox and Thunderbird it doesn't use OS X context menus.
Even though a lot of it is "just Thunderbird", there are a couple of really nice features, like how it extracts and displays pictures and attachments of a whole thread. Will try it out for a bit more.
I tried this for a while and couldn't get on with it. Once you realize it's just thunderbird in disguise there's really nothing to use it for.

OLIVER SPRINGS — Emergency management personnel from both Roane and Anderson counties responded to a possible hazardous materials leak at the Oliver Springs Waste Water Treatment Plant on Joel Road onWednesday — but residents and city employees reportedly weren't exposed to dangerous chemicals.
Oliver Springs City Manager Tina Treece said emergency management officials told her the sulfur dioxide leak was "a non-event," meaning the leak was not substantial enough to pose a danger. Treece said she was alerted to the leak about 8 a.m., when employees got to the plant and the "alarm was going off," which means "a leak in a chemical container."
Treece said sensors will pick up any leak and cause the alarm to sound.
Sulfur dioxide is the same chemical released by volcanoes, and would have a pungent, irritating smell, according to information from several websites. The chemical could be considered a major air pollutant if a substantial amount leaks into the atmosphere.
Treece said after being told about the alarm, she called the Police Department, who in turned called the Roane and Anderson counties' offices of emergency management. She said both counties sent representatives to the plant. Oliver Springs Fire Department responded also, as did Oak Ridge Fire Department, responding to the call for mutual aid.
Roane County Emergency Management Director Howie Rose said the same as Treece — a small leak from a 150-pound cylinder "set off the air monitoring alarm.
"We had a joint operation," he said of personnel at the scene. He said personnel from his office monitored the air and "got a very small amount of product."
Treece said the leak posed no danger to anyone on the scene or nearby residents.
"The Police Department went to neighboring houses and told residents to stay indoors," Treece said, adding that decision was only for precaution.
The plant is "still operational," she said.
The city manager said the cylinder itself wasn't the source of the leak. A line to the cylinder ruptured. She said the line was "closed off and replaced." She said plant employees will test the line again after service is complete.
Treece said the plant has three full-time employees who were never exposed to any chemicals.
"It went really smoothly," Rose said. "We were in and out in about an hour."

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Tuesday, Feb. 5, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) --The gun debate rages on in Washington, but it's a hot issue at the state level, too.
President Barack Obama has called for reform , and a Senate bill would do just that by expanding the assault weapons ban of the 1990s.
In Atlanta, lawmakers are also talking firearms, but many say they want to expand gun owners' rights. But, as the debate continues, firearms continue to fly off the shelves.
Ray Reynolds, who works at United Loan and Firearms Inc., says they're having a hard time fighting to keep up with the demand.
"The supply is almost non-existent. We spend hours a day shopping online for guns from vendors," he said.
Ray at United Loan and Firearms says business has increased by about 75 percent in the past two months.
We're also told most of the gun makers are on an 18-month backlog, trying to produce enough guns to keep up with the demand.
It's the same story for others in the gun industry.
"Business has totally skyrocketed. It's off the chart," said Frank DeMato, a certified NRA firearms instructor.
DeMato says a record number of people have been signing up for gun classes the past two months.
"Where I used to have 2 to 3 classes a week, now I have 2 to 3 classes a day," he said.
And the people packing heat don't necessarily fit your typical stereotype.
Gladys Suggs, for example, is enjoying the golden years by learning how to shoot a gun.
"I just want to be prepared," she said.
She says the nationwide debate about gun control is one reason she is spending her Tuesday squeezing off a few rounds.
"I've been listening to it, and I just thought well, it's important to know how to protect yourself," she said.
But while Congress debates whether assault rifles should be household objects, lawmakers in Georgia are talking about less gun control. Senate Bills 93 and 101 would allow hunters to use silencers, give people living in public housing the right to have guns, and expanding laws already on the books to allow more out-of-state license holders to carry weapons in Georgia.
"I think a lot of this is, we ought to do something, so let's pass another law that may or may not have any effect," DeMato said.
Suggs says, why not just keep it simple?
"The Second Amendment is clear. You can't interpret it different ways," she said.

The Lake Dillon Theatre Company Cabaret Series presents its annual spring cabaret, "Broadway Now," an evening celebrating contemporary musical theater.
The Lake Dillon Theatre Company's "Broadway Now" and "Broadway Then" are dual cabaret events that together celebrate the spectrum and diversity of Broadway. Each fall, "Broadway Then" pays tribute to the great musical classics and Broadway standards of the Golden Age of Broadway. Lake Dillon Executive Director Josh Blanchard looks forward each fall to honoring the great musical composers from the early to mid-20th century.
"Musical theatre is a distinctly American art form," Blanchard said. "The creators of the Golden Era shows laid the foundation for today's emerging songwriters. And there is a sense of
nostalgia as we remember these classics."
To contrast "Broadway Then," "Broadway Now" showcases the newest musicals and most successful revivals playing to Broadway audiences each spring season.
"All the best new shows open in New York each spring, which is
the theater award voting season," said Chris Alleman, Lake Dillon producing artistic director. "This spring cabaret concert introduces our community to the innovative and exciting new works on Broadway each year."
"Broadway Now" is a one-weekend-only event with performances Thursday through April 7. Performers include Brittany Jeffery and Andrew Tebo, both currently starring in the Lake Dillon Theatre Company's production of "The Sunshine Boys." Joining Jeffery and Tebo are company favorites Kelly Renoux ("Lend Me a Tenor") and Selah Grace ("Kiss of the Spider Woman"). Music director Jonathan Parks ("Kiss of the Spider Woman," "Tommy," "Hair") rounds out the company with music direction and accompaniment.
"'Broadway Now' is one of the things that makes the Lake Dillon Theatre Company special because it connects us with our audiences in an intimate way," said Director of Development Mari Geasair. "It is a great chance for friends and neighbors to relax together after a busy ski season. It's an exciting and special evening at the theater."

"Youth in Focus is an afterschool program that uses intensive photography training as a tool to help disadvantaged teens develop personal voice, positive identity, social skills and artistic skills. We offer free, multi-level classes for teens ages 13-19 in both film and digital photography, and advanced students participate in our job skills project shooting assignments for hire. Classes are taught by professional teaching artists and supported by volunteer adult mentors. In this way we create a community of support around our students that both encourages and challenges them on their journey to a positive adulthood." - (From youthinfocus.org) Feature: Leading to the "Push" Grant Korgan is something else. He's a man who will never let life get in the way of his goals. Having been paralyzed during a snow-mobile accident a few years ago, Grant came back with a dream and he came back strong.

The labels on most household products read like the periodic table violently collided with a bowl of alphabet soup. What are those ingredients, and what might they do to our homes, our pets and our loved ones? A foolproof way to know what's in your cleaning products is to make them yourself. It's easy and economical, with the added benefit of reducing your household's carbon footprint by creating less packaging waste and less pollution from manufacturing and shipping.
Wing It!
Feel free to improvise with proportions; none of these recipes are set in stone. When it comes to making soft scrubs, I find myself mixing until the right texture is achieved. It's like cooking a favorite recipe—rely on instinct and use trial and error to refine. The fun part is trying out essential oils to find your preferred fragrance. DIY cleaning will soon become second nature, and your home will look, feel and smell naturally fresh.
Shopping List
With these 15 items, you can clean just about anything.
■ Baking Soda: scrubbing, whitening■ Beeswax: polishing wood■ Borax (sodium borate): removing stains/disinfecting■ Club Soda (or any unflavored fizzy water): lifting stains■ Cornstarch: absorbing stains■ Hydrogen Peroxide: disinfecting, removing stains■ Lemon: removing stains and odors■ Liquid Dish Soap: sudsing power■ Olive Oil: polishing wood■ Pine Oil: cleaning soft wood floors■ Plant Essential Oils: chemical-free fragrance (do a sniff test before buying to make sure you're not sensitive to the fumes)■ Salt: scrubbing■ Toothpaste: polishing metal■ Washing Soda (sodium carbonate): scrubbing, removing stains and cutting grease■ White Vinegar: disinfecting, removing stains
Un-Dirty Dozen: 12 Easy Cleaners
Remember, even all-natural cleaning ingredients can be irritating. Open windows to ventilate rooms while you clean, and wear gloves. Store homemade cleaners in sealed containers in a cool, dry place.
Carpets and DrapesAttack fresh stains and spills right away by covering them with absorbent baking soda or cornstarch. Leave for 10 to 15 minutes, then sprinkle with club soda (the fizz helps lift stains), and vacuum and/or blot. Do not rub fresh stains, which can spread them, or use hot water, which can set them.
To clean carpets and drapes, get rid of surface dirt by vacuuming, hanging, shaking out and, if necessary, beating with a broom handle. Next, presoak stains with the solutions below, depending on the type of fabric, for 30 minutes, taking care to spot-test fabric for colorfastness first. ■ For wool or silk, use equal parts cold water and white vinegar or lemon juice.■ For cotton, linen or synthetic fabrics, use equal parts cold water mixed with hydrogen peroxide, baking or washing soda, or borax.
Following spot removal, wash drapes or area rugs in cold water with liquid soap, old soap bar slivers or natural laundry soap. Because agitation and heat can damage delicate fabrics, wash wool, silk and rayon by hand in a sink or on the gentle cycle of your washer, then hang dry. If you have wall-to-wall carpet, vacuum, then steam-clean using water with a few drops of liquid soap, or simply wipe the entire surface with hot soapy water on a wrung-out rag, sponge or mop, taking care not to let water soak in. A wet carpet can easily grow mildew and mold.
Toilet Bowl Scrub with 1/2 cup of borax to brighten and disinfect. For daily maintenance, brush the bowl with baking soda and let it sit for a bit before flushing. Add white vinegar for a little extra stain-lifting fizz.
All-Purpose Cleaner Use on any non-wood surface.
1/2 cup borax1 gallon hot water
Mix until borax is dissolved; mop or spray and wipe surfaces.
Floor and Wall CleanerUse this on any floor, including wood, and on walls.
1 cup white vinegar1 gallon hot water1 tablespoon to 1/4 cup liquid soap (optional) 1 to 2 tablepoons pine or lemon oil (optional) For extra cleaning power, add liquid soap. Add pine or lemon oil (essential oil of lavender or rosemary are less-intense alternatives) to condition unlaminated wood floors. Mix all ingredients and clean floor or walls with mop or damp rag. Follow with a clean-water mop if you use soap.
Glass Cleaner Shine on without toxic ammonia-based products.
1/4 cup white vinegar or 1 tablespoon lemon juice2 cups water3 to 4 drops liquid soap (optional)
Mix and spray or wipe on; for the best shine, use old newspapers!
Encrusted Gunk Buster Avoid chlorine-based scrubs by making your own scrubbing bubbles.
Baking soda, washing soda or salt
Wipe surface with hot water; sprinkle on soda or salt. Let sit for a few minutes, then scrub with a rag, sponge or brush.
Fume-Free Oven Cleaner Avoid caustic lye-based products and still make your oven sparkle.
1 cup baking soda1/4 to 1/2 cup washing soda1 tablespoon liquid soap Hot waterFew drops white vinegar
Make sure oven is off and totally cool. No need to disconnect power. Wipe off surface soot and any fresh spills. Combine dry ingredients and gradually add hot water until you have a thick but malleable paste. For greasy ovens, add an additional 1/4 cup washing soda. Add vinegar (watch it fizz!). Coat all oven surfaces and leave overnight. Wipe off with warm water.
Soft Scrub Use this non-scratching, chlorine-free paste on enamel or porcelain.
1 cup baking soda or borax Warm water 2 to 3 drops liquid soap
Combine baking soda or borax with enough water to form a paste. Add liquid soap. Apply to surfaces, let sit at least 5 minutes, and scrub with a non-abrasive sponge. Rinse and wipe off residue.
Grout Cleaner Kill mildew and whiten grout without chlorine.
Baking sodaWhite vinegar or hydrogen peroxide
Combine ingredients to make a paste. Let stand 30 minutes or more, then scrub.
Lye-Free Drain Cleaner For a clogged drain, use a plumber's snake or an untwisted coat hanger to pull out as much gunk as possible. Pour 1/2 cup baking or washing soda down the drain; gradually add 1/2 cup white vinegar. Let fizz and dissolve. Carefully pour in boiling water from a tea kettle. Wait half an hour. Repeat as necessary. Before calling a plumber, let things cool off and snake again.
Germ Killer Avoid cleaners with chlorine bleach and toxic antibacterial agents such as triclosan and triclocarban. The American Medical Association advises against using antibacterial products because they may not be any more effective than regular soap, and they promote the proliferation of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. A wipe-down with white vinegar or hydrogen peroxide provides adequate disinfecting for kitchen and bathroom surfaces—and don't forget door handles. Remember, the best way to get rid of germs is plain soap and hot water!
The Real Deal Air Freshener Many commercial air fresheners contain hormone-disrupting chemicals such as phthalates. The healthiest alternative: fresh air! Open the windows. Place an odor-absorbing dish of baking soda or borax on kitchen and bathroom counters out of reach of children and pets. Make your own potpourri by drying flower petals and herbs; these absorb odors and replace them with their own natural scent.
Ditch the Toxins
Avoid these toxic ingredients when buying cleaning products:
■ Alkylphenol ethoxylates ■ Ammonia■ Chlorine■ Glycol ethers■ Lye■ Nonylphenol ethoxylate■ Sodium laureth sulfate■ Sodium lauryl sulfate■ Synthetic fragrance■ Terpenes■ Triclosan and other antibacterial agents (phenols, formaldehyde, petroleum solvents, perchloroethylene, butyl cellosolve)

A Curious Discovery goes behind the scenes, telling the fascinating stories of some of the network's most popular shows: Deadliest Catch, Mythbusters, The Crocodile Hunter, Planet Earth, Dirty Jobs, and Trading Spaces. It also draws lessons from the network's setbacks, including the unsuccessful collaboration with the New York Times, and explains the company's high-profile decisions, such as Discovery's partnership with Oprah Winfrey and OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network.
Hendricks reveals that his achievements would not have been possible without one crucial factor that has informed his life since childhood: curiosity.

House members back push for special session
Published: Tuesday, October 23, 2012 at 3:58 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, October 23, 2012 at 3:58 p.m.
BATON ROUGE — A Lafourche Parish lawmaker delivered a petition signed by 38 state representatives to the House clerk Tuesday, bringing his drive for a special session one step closer to reality.
A bipartisan group of 39 House members signed a petition seeking a formal vote on whether to hold a special session challenging Gov. Bobby Jindal's recent budget cuts. Thirteen senators also must sign a petition before the ballot would go out. A look at the House members supporting the idea:
—Andy Anders, D-Vidalia.
—James Armes III, D-Leesville.
—Jeff Arnold, D-New Orleans.
—Austin Badon, D-New Orleans.
—Regina Barrow, D-Baton Rouge.
—Wesley Bishop, D-New Orleans.
—Roy Burrell, D-Shreveport.
—Patrick Connick, R-Marrero.
—Kenny Cox, D-Mansfield.
—John Bel Edwards, D-Amite.
—A.B. Franklin, D-Lake Charles.

However, Rep. Dee Richard of Thibodaux, who has no party affiliation, said actually crossing the finish line will be a real challenge.
With a Thursday afternoon deadline approaching, he still needs another 13 signatures for the Senate's petition.
If Richard is successful, the signed petitions from the two chambers will trigger a balloting process where all 144 members of the Legislature will be asked by mail to vote on calling a special session.
Only 35 signatures were needed from the House to begin the process there, and it was supported by Reps. Truck Gisclair, D-Larose, and Joe Harrison, R-Napoleonville.
Reps. Gordon Dove and Lenar Whitney, both Houma Republicans, did not endorse the call for a special session.
Richard said lawmakers have been left out of the decision-making process by Gov. Bobby Jindal's administration and a special session can be used to reverse the planned closures of the Paul Phelps Correctional Center in DeQuincy and Southeast Louisiana Hospital in Mandeville.
He also cited reductions of $152 million in state and federal money for seven south Louisiana hospitals in the system it operates.
Locally, the Leonard J. Chabert Medical Center in Houma is facing a $14.3 million cut and a loss of 245 jobs or more than a quarter of the hospital staff.
"The fact that we are left out of this process of where cuts should be made is very disturbing to me, and I believe this is the Legislature's only avenue of trying to get a seat at the table," Richard said.
Dove, chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee and dean of the local delegation, said lawmakers from Terrebonne and Lafourche have been meeting with hospitals in the region to find a solution for the Houma medical center while Richard has busied himself with calling a special session.
"We've been in active negotiations trying to find a solution," Dove said, adding a public-private partnership is one possibility. "If we can't find a solution, then maybe we should think about a special session."
Whitney echoed Dove's assessment that delegation members are already "working together to build a stronger system."
Like other conservative lawmakers, she added it would be an "unwise use of public funds" to call a special session, and lawmakers could potentially end up proposing higher taxes or raising fees, which she opposes.
Richard said there's nothing he can do about how much a special session would cost to conduct.
"So, yes, it may cost taxpayer money, but how much taxpayer money will be spent on the upcoming regular session that could be better spent?" he asked. "I am willing to take a stand for our independence as the legislative branch, and if we can get a majority of both houses to agree, a special session could be in the making."
Whitney said she's also hesitant to call a special session when there are "no solutions" that have been proposed for lawmakers to review.
Richard said the time for specific policy proposals would eventually come.
"If we were fortunate enough to actually meet in special session, I will be prepared with legislation to restore funding in order to restore those cuts that are possible," he said. "I'd like to make it clear that I do not judge if these cuts were right or wrong, but as an elected state legislator, I would think we should have input that would show why certain cuts were made and if needed."
If Richard is successful with the Senate petition and then the balloting of the Legislature, his proposed session will span 15 days beginning Nov. 26.
By all accounts it would be an extraordinary feat, considering it's the governor who traditionally calls special sessions.
Richard's petition includes four call or agenda items, which limit what can be debated and passed during the proposed session.
It is limited to bills related to:
- "Any closure, privatization, reduction in personnel and services, or level of funding of any state health care facility or human services district"
- "Any sale of any LSU system hospital; any plan for a cooperative endeavor agreement with a private provider to operate a system hospital; or any reduction in services at an LSU system hospital"
- "Any closure, privatization, reduction in personnel and services, or level of funding of any state-operated correctional facility"
- "Reestablishing eliminated or reduced services relative to correction facilities, health care facilities or human services districts"

Next Week's Tape: A River of Data, and Bernanke to Boot
Next week's calendar will bring a river of data, testimony from the Fed chairman, retailer earnings, a hotly contested Italian election, and just possibly the fearsome sequester.
As the data streams out, everything from home prices to auto sales to GDP, investors and economy-watchers will also make time to listen to the semiannual testimony to Congress given by Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke on Tuesday and Wednesday.
But the market will have to wait until Friday, March 1, to learn whether or not the so-called, and supposedly dreaded, sequester will be imposed. The automatic cuts to federal spending are slated to go into effect on the 1st unless Congress comes to some agreement on the budget.
A number of retailers also report earnings, and if all that wasn't enough, the Italians will elect a new prime minister on Sunday, an event that could roil Europe's shaky politics.
On the data front, two U.S. home price measures will be reported Tuesday. Both are expected to show further gains in home values.
The S&P/Case-Shiller price index for 20 major U.S. cities is projected to have increased 6.6% for the year ended in December, according to economists surveyed by Dow Jones Newswires. The Federal Housing Finance Agency's national home price index is projected to be up 0.7% in December versus November.
Wednesday will bring the latest durable goods report. Economists expect new orders fell 5.3% in January. But that expected drop is concentrated in aircraft and follows a 4.3% jump in December.
A second look at GDP growth is scheduled to be released Thursday and should show the U.S. economy grew last quarter, if only slightly.
The median forecast expects real GDP grew at an annual rate of 0.5%, an improvement from the 0.1% decline reported a month ago. A smaller trade deficit and somewhat better consumer spending will account for much of the upward revision.
Also on tap next week will be two readings on how consumers feel about the economy in February. Both readings are expected to be up from January, despite higher gasoline prices and the uncertainty surrounding fiscal policy.
The Conference Board's confidence index, due Tuesday, is expected to increase to 62.4 in February, from 58.6 in January. The final reading of the February consumer sentiment compiled by Reuters and the University of Michigan is projected to hold steady at the preliminary reading of 76.3, which was up from the January final level of 73.8.
As for earnings, a lot of retailers will report, which should provide more color on the state of teh consumer ahead of the so-called sequestration that everybody sees coming. Reports include Home Depot Lowe's Macy's Kohl's Barnes & Noble Best Buy, Sears, and Target.
Keep an eye overseas, too. Sunday's elections in Italy could roil the continent, depending upon how much of the vote former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi receives. Our Real Time Brussels blog has a look at Europe's week ahead here.

Local man killed in St. Charles Parish crash
Published: Friday, July 19, 2013 at 9:13 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, July 19, 2013 at 9:13 p.m.
A Thibodaux man died after his car hit a St. Charles Parish Sheriff's Office van in Hahnville, the St. Charles Parish Sheriff's Office said.
Timothy Becnel, 1873 La. 307, hit the van as he drove his 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt on La. 3127 about 6:05 a.m. Wednesday, Sheriff's Office spokesman Dwayne LaGrange said.
When Becnel attempted to turn left onto La. 3142, the Sheriff's Office van broadsided the passenger's side of his car, LaGrange said.
Becnel, who was wearing his seat belt, was pronounced dead at the scene.
The sheriff's deputy suffered minor injuries, was treated at St. Charles Hospital and has since been released.
Alcohol use by either driver is not suspected, LaGrange said. Toxicology tests, required by state law in all fatal wrecks, are pending. Those results typically take several weeks.
The investigation into the crash is ongoing.

The Washington County commissioners say they hope to form a committee of county officials and community members who would study potential safety issues surrounding hydraulic fracturing and distribute information related to the activity.
It's an idea that's already come to fruition in some Ohio counties, including Licking and Athens, they said.
Washington County Commissioner Cora Marshall presented the idea to commissioners Steve Weber and Tim Irvine after learning about the committee established by the Licking County Commissioners.
Marshall said she believes the commissioners should be more active in coordinating and disseminating information related to hydraulic fracturing, a drilling process also known as "fracking" that involves shattering rock thousands of feet underground with a combination of water, sand and chemicals.
"The commissioners have not taken any action on forming a committee. We're just still in the discussion stage of doing that," Marshall said. "Our main purpose in forming an advisory committee is to keep the commissioners informed of different activities going on in the county and have some useful information for our citizens."
Marshall said if a citizen needs baseline water testing done, for example, the committee would provide information on how that can be obtained.

How to get involved
Contact the Washington County commissioners at 373-6623.
Weber said he likes the idea of establishing such a committee.
"I could see a group of six, eight, ten people (getting together) to look at this stuff," he said, noting that perhaps representatives from the oil and gas industry, the Southeast Ohio Fracking Interest Group, the county engineer's office and the county health department could be involved.
Southeast Ohio Fracking Interest Group member Betsy Cook, of Lowell, said she would definitely be interested in being involved with the committee.
"We want things to be done safely and responsibly," she said. "We have to live here and these people coming in (from the oil and gas industry) won't be staying."
Cook added she is concerned about how the air, water and bridges are being impacted by activities related to hydraulic fracturing.
Licking County Commissioner Tim Bubb said the committee there consists of him, the county engineer, county planning director, a representative from the county health department and the county sheriff.
"We're currently recruiting some citizens and then we'll ask our advisory committee to start meeting," Bubb said. "As county commissioners none of us claim to be experts in this and we're all learning about this as we go. So we thought by putting together an advisory committee of interested citizens and public officials we can meet and discuss and research these issues."
Bubb noted that the committee will, for example, look at how well the county's Road Use Maintenance Agreement (RUMA) is being implemented. The agreement is designed to help protect county and township roadways that are likely to suffer damage as companies begin moving heavy drilling equipment into the county.

Im just gonna come out and say it. Rarely will you see a more lackluster first set than the one we got here. But Phish knows how to pick themselves up off the canvas, and so they treated us to a fun second set and a hysterical encore.
The opening three songs had nothing distinctive about them at all, and Limb By Limb jammed a bit but didnt offer anything out of the ordinary either. Billy Breathes is one of my favorite Phish ballads, and under other circumstances I would have been ecstatic to hear it, but it wasnt the energy boost that this set was starting to need desperately. Same with Vultures. I love the prog-iness of the thing, but it had no bite, and I was starting to get restless. I was wondering if the band was still burned out from pushing the envelope the previous night.
Back on the Train was the first evidence of any kind of interesting group interplay. It was nothing spectacular, but it had a playfulness that was welcome. Toward the end, the crowd started clapping out a beat, as if to get the band psyched up. It must have worked, because then Fishman furiously hit the high hat to start Maze. This had plenty of spark. Page was a demon on the organ, Trey noodled on his keys for a while, and the jam built to a satisfying climax.
Then Fishman launched into Cavern with a vengeance. It was worth hearing just for Fishman's playing alone. He inspired the others to attack their parts with equal vigor. At the end, Trey waved his guitar to emit feedback like he did at Tweeprise from Camden six nights earlier. But it was an empty gesture considering that they had mailed it in for the first two-thirds of the set. In previous sets I'd seen that year, they had gone out of their way to spice up routine songs, or at least one member would put an extra effort into a solo or riff. They had ample chance to do any of that in the first six songs of this set, but chose not to. We figured that either they were still fried from the previous night, they were holding back to save energy for Oswego, or they were restraining themselves in the first set so they would have plenty left for the special things they planned to do in the second set and encore. Some of my friends decided to hedge their bets and left their seats for a spot on the lawn near an exit, fully intending to walk out if the second set was looking as lame as the first. That turned out not to be necessary, to say the least.
The second set began with the 2001 that we were supposed to get the previous night until Mike overruled with Split. This was a particularly mesmerizing version: tight, funky, and a little spooky. The energy level, from the crowd and the band, was eons past what it was in the first set. This eventually faded into Mike's Song, and the crowd went berserk. It started off much slower than normal, but soon it was up to its usual pace. The jam section got very dissonant, with Trey fooling around more on his keyboard. The noise made me think "What's the Use?" might be ahead, but all the while Fishman was tapping out the drumbeat to I Am Hydrogen. A long, slow version emerged from the dissonance. I rather enjoyed it. But the story of this Mikes Groove was the Weekapaug. Mike just pounded the bass on his opening solo with a frenzy I can't remember seeing before. The song just kept getting faster and faster, with some incredible lightning-quick soloing from Trey and then another, even more spectacular bass solo from Mike. He was thumpin' it, Bootsy Collins style. I'm still hard pressed to come up with a better performance from Mike on any song. And all throughout, the others kept up with him, pushing the song to incredible heights. The ensuing Simple and Guyute kicked ass and took names. And Loving Cup was even more raucous. The word that came to mind was "raging, not something I usually associate with this song. Trey's solo was extraordinary, and the crowd went into a frenzy, which maintained through the set closing Golgi Apparatus.
Everything the first set lacked, the second had. It was full of energy and spirit. While not as awe-inspiring as the best jams from the night before, it was much more fun.
But lots more fun was in store. When the band came out for the encore, Trey launched into a story about growing up in New Jersey and seeing concerts at this venue and the Meadowlands, and how much he listened to the guest they were going to bring out, the greatest songwriter of all time, who also happens to be from Jersey.
Some people really did seem to think at first that it was Bruce Springsteen that came out. I could tell immediately, from the height of the guest, that it was Tom Marshall in Springsteen costume. As soon as Born to Run started, I laughed my ass off, loudly. Tom had the look down, from the headband to the tight Levi's, and even did a few moves from the "Dancing in the Dark" video. (Alas, there was no Courtney Cox sighting.) His vocal was horrible, but he was probably drunk, so what could you expect? The band duly plowed through the song, then Tom left the stage with a flourish of arena rock clichés, tossing the headband into the crowd, and having a "personal assistant" throw a towel around his shoulders as he jogged off.
On this night, we learned never to count Phish out, even when they seem to be at their most uninspired.

The eastbound bridge was opened to traffic Thursday, and the westbound bridge was to open today. Construction will be complete this summer, and drivers should see speed limits return to normal then.
