Hurricane Sandy made many of us realize how insatiable our appetite is for electricity. The Princeton Public Library,
spared from the blackout, opened its doors to thousands of visitors, who used the computers to get online,
and the electrical outlets to recharge phones, tablets, and other devices.
Meanwhile, Princeton’s Andlinger Center studies the perilous interaction of energy and the environment. See story, page 32.

Depression Hurts
If you’re suffering from depression,
you know how emotionally painful
it can be. For some of us the depression
doesn’t seem to go away even with treatment.
Are you currently taking medication
for depression and are still experiencing
symptoms of depression?
If so, the doctors at Princeton Medical Institute would like to talk to you about a new clinical research study
for the treatment of depression.
Volunteers in this clinical research study will help determine if an investigational medication
for depression can lead to a better response.
Volunteers who qualify will be provided study medication, office visits, lab tests and study related medical
supervision all at no cost. No health insurance is needed.
As your time is valuable, compensation is provided to qualified participants.
Call or log on for more information.

Storm Damaged?
Now What?
P
eople in central Jersey are
starting to return to normal after
being shut down for almost a week
by Hurricane Sandy, but there are
many homewoners and business
owners who may need guidance in
filing insurance claims as a result
of the storm’s destruction.
“As the recovery process starts,
we want to do our part to help it go
as smoothly as possible,” syas Anthony Bavaro, president of the
trade organization Professional Insurance Agents of New Jersey.
Bavaro says that some suggestions
for those those who will need to file
claims include:
After filing your claim, try to
prevent further damage — it
may not be covered. Also, do not
make any permanent repairs, or
dispose of any damaged property
before an adjuster has been able to
see the damage. Save receipts for
your temporary repairs.
Keep Good Records. Be sure to
write down the date, time, and who
you speak to for each conversation
in the claims process and with contractors. Write down the claim
number.
If your home is uninhabitable,
collect the receipts for your temporary housing, as well as extraordinary living expenses that you incur
as a result of the storm.
Those who are insured have a
responsibility to protect against
further damage, so keep receipts
and time logs, even your own time.
Be Patient. In times of disasters
and widespread losses, adjusters
can be delayed in visiting your site,
or in filing your claim. Generally,
those with the heaviest losses take
priority. Your insurance agent often can check on the status of the
process, and your carrier will issue
you a claims draft after it has been
settled.
Be ready for the claims adjuster. Secure an estimate for repairs — more than one if possible.
Take pictures and document all
damaged items.
Get E-mail addresses for adjusters. They may not have time to
return calls but may be able to answer E-mails all night.
What’s Covered? Most insurance companies do not cover food
spoilage resulting from a power
failure, but some do provide limited coverage. Check your policy
with your agent. When recovering,
every little bit counts.
Damage to trees and landscaping usually isn’t covered under
homeowners policies, but damage
to part of your property caused by a
felled tree, such as the house or a
fence, usually is covered.
Be aware of whether your policy
stipulates the settlement’s value is
based on “actual cash value” or
“replacement cost.” Actual cash
value is determined by the replacement cost at today’s prices and subtracting a reasonable amount for
depreciation. Some policies provide coverage on a “guaranteed replacement cost” basis, which will
pay whatever it costs to repair or
rebuild the home, regardless of
policy limits.
Unplug It. When electricity is
restored, power surges can damage
appliances, computers, and entertainment equipment. If you can unplug your expensive items while
the power is still out, do so. Homeowners policies cover power-surge
damage to some items, but not all.
Beware of fraud. Where there
is money there will be thieves. All
estimates and proposals should be
written down, and don’t feel compelled to work with the first contractor who shows up. Ask for certificate of insurance, and check for
licenses to do work.
“This is a trying time for many
people across New Jersey,” says
Bavaro. “Independent agents are
members of the community, and
their biggest concern is helping
their neighbors, families and
friends rebuild.”

ome on the East Coast wondered if the election could go on
with flooded polling stations and
no electricity for the voting booths.
Others, like Princeton University’s
Ed Felten, wonder if electronic
voting machines can be relied on to
accurately tally votes under any
circumstances.
Felten, the director of the university’s Center for Information
Technology Policy, will give a
post-election analysis on Sunday,
November 11, from 8 to 9:15 a.m.
at the Princeton United Methodist
Church on the corner of Nassau
Street and Vandeventer Avenue in
Princeton. The event is open to the
public, and breakfast will be
served. Cost: $5 suggested donation. Register by Friday, November 9, at 609-924-2613 or [email protected].
A native of Madison, Wisconsin, Felten attended the California
Institute of Technology. After earning his bachelor’s in physics there
in 1985 Felten stayed on in Cal
Tech’s research laboratory. He received his Ph.D. in computer science from the University of Washington in 1993. He joined the
Princeton faculty later that year
and recently returned from a oneyear term as the first-ever chief
technologist for the Federal Trade
Commission. His blog, www.Free-
NOVEMBER 7, 2012
dom-to-Tinker.com, carries information on everything from voting
machines to Spotify and Netflix.
His research interests include
computer security and privacy as
well as related public policy. He
works on software security, internet security, cybersecurity, and
more, but at this time of year issues
with electronic voting machines
are at top of mind. The chance that
these machines will count wrong,
Felten says, is of much greater concern than hanging chads or fraudulent absentee ballots.
Felten first made headlines
when he challenged the security of
the Sequoia Advantage voting machines that were used in the 2004
and 2008 elections in New Jersey.
State election officials gave Felten
and computer science professor
Andrew Appel access to voting
machines, and despite the threat of
legal action from Sequoia that their
research violated license agreements, Felten and Appel found
flaws in the machines’ programming and determined they could be
hacked quickly and easily.
In 2010 Sequoia was acquired
by Diebold Election Systems,
which later became Premier Election Solutions and was then sold to
another competitor, Election Systems &Software. AVC Advantage
models, previously made by Sequoia and now made by Dominion
Voting Systems, continue to be
used in Mercer County and
throughout most of the state. And
12 years after the Bush v. Gore debacle, the potential for inaccuracies in electronic voting machines
is as strong as ever.
“Computers tend to misbehave
and errors, as we all know, are routine,” Felten told U.S. 1 in a 2008
interview.
Elections add an extra twist to
the effort to prevent errors because
ballots are secret, so if, for example, the total number of votes cast

does not match with the total number of votes credited to candidates,
there is no way to look back to
when the error occurred. “This represents a true problem,” Felten
said. “In the case of elections, with
every voter’s ballot is a secret,
there is no way of checking or rectifying a discrepancy.”
Sometimes it doesn’t even take
a computer science degree to see
potential security issues. In the
days before elections, voting machines at some polling places are
left out in the open in unlocked
rooms. A hacker could easily enter
and potentially alter the outcome
of the election within minutes.
“It would take, suffice it to say,
an expert in computer technology
to do the programing, but he would
only then have to get at the back of
the machine and switch the computer chips,” Felten said.
As it turns out, however, an
eighth-grade science education is
all you need to hack into some of
these machines. Researchers at Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois reported in 2011 that hackers
with basic science knowledge and
around $10 in parts could alter a
machine made by Diebold without
leaving any evidence of their tampering.
In 2006 Felten’s team also discovered serious flaws with a
Diebold machine, finding that malicious software planted on one
machine to “steal” votes would be
undetectable. Your vote for Obama? It was mysteriously deleted

the minute you pressed the vote
button.
While computer systems have
their issues, old-fashioned human
error is also a factor in tabulating
votes. Clerks make counting mistakes as easily as computers, and a
100 percent accurate vote count is
still an ideal, not a reality.
Security experts had held out
hope that a partial solution was on
its way: legislation passed in 2005
required voting machines used in
the New Jersey to produce a paper
trail that could be used to audit results.
The law was never implemented
because of the cost of doing so, and
in the meantime the use of direct
recording electronic (paperless)
voting machines has been held up
by state courts.
Under normal conditions, vote
counting is an imprecise art, and
Hurricane Sandy isn’t helping.
With battery backups that are less
than reliable and limited paper ballots available, electronic voting
machines were still counted on to
count the votes in areas that had
faced week-long power outages.
May the best man or woman win.

GMAT Preparation. Applying to graduate business and management schools usually means taking the GMAT (Graduate Management Admission Test). “Our GMAT
Preparation Course is a must,” says PAS.
“Taking this course will provide you with
test-taking techniques and methods for improving your score and saving time on all
GMAT question types. You’ll review the
more familiar questions and learn how to approach question types that may be new to
you, like critical reasoning and data sufficiency.”
Self Paced Tutorials. Independent study
tutorials are for those who want to quickly
build industry skills or earn continuing education credits. They cover a wide variety of
fields, and students can start anytime, and
work at their own pace.
Students will have access to all course material and assessments from the first day, and
many tutorials can be completed in a few
hours. Upon finishing the tutorial with a
passing score, students will receive a certificate of completion.

hen I make a visit
this Veterans Day to the New Jersey World War II Memorial —
across the street from New Jersey’s
capitol building in Trenton — I’ll
remember the service of a passing
generation as well as my humbler
efforts regarding the war.
Although I was born several
years after the surrender of the Axis powers, I just may be one of the
last individuals “drafted” into action for that’s war effort — or,
more accurately, to commemorate
the efforts of those men and
women who served in that war.
It started on a late spring day in
2008. I was in on office on West
State Street in Trenton and working
part-time for the New Jersey State
Council on the Arts public arts program. Among other activities, that
program interacted with state
agencies on special building projects. Suddenly the program’s coordinator, Tom Moran (now chief curator for Grounds For Sculpture),
appeared next to me and announced something to the effect of,
“Stop whatever you’re working
on. The governor has announced
that he wants the New Jersey
World War II Memorial complete
for Veterans Day, and you are going to help write it.”
My reply was a nod of my head
and the utterance, “Cool.”
The memorial was a project of
the New Jersey Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, and Jack
McGreevey, father of a former
governor, was the chair. While the
design had been approved and
some work completed, the construction was far behind schedule.
Although that’s status quo for state
projects (and I’ve been involved
with several to know), the sad reality was that the veterans who
served in the war were aging and
frankly did not have the time to
wait for this memorial to be completed.
For a variety of reasons, former
marine and then current governor
Jon Corzine decided that it was
time to get the memorial built, and
he put his well stocked checkbook
behind his order to make it happen.
With the governor’s involvement,
the memorial moved in seconds
from “Oh, yeah, that should be
built” to “Why isn’t it done yet?”
An attitude consistent with military operations, I learned.
In any case, work needed to be
done, and that included writing the
text. Since I had worked as a newspaper writer as well as a exhibition
text writer for the Franklin Institute
and the Philadelphia Zoo, it made
sense to draft me for the effort. The

On short notice, a
battle plan was crafted: The author was
conscripted to help
create a lasting memorial to World War II
and its veterans.
current project that I was working
on would just have to wait.
As with many of my generation,
World War II was always a presence. My father, several uncles,
and an aunt had served in that war;
so too had my father-in-law. I
learned plenty from listening to
family members — including one
uncle who seemed obsessed with
collecting Nazi memorabilia —
and the former soldiers who were
now neighborhood dads in the
Camden suburb where I was
raised. There was also the era’s
books, movies, and television
shows designed to attract the attention of the “Greatest Generation.”
This context provided me with a
generally informed sense of the
war and a conviction that there was
something right about recognizing
our state’s men and women who
had put their lives on the line during the largest war in history. There
was also the urgency of making it
happen in their lifetimes.
Yet it was strange to realize that
I — with no-military experience —
was suddenly involved with an all
military and state operation. I had
attempted to enlist in the navy but
was rejected because I admitted to
a history of sleepwalking. So I
went to college. Despite the antisoldier mentality on those Vietnam
War era campuses, it turned out
that many of my friends were exmilitary guys who helped me develop a military mindset when I
needed it.
And I needed it when I showed
up to my first meeting comprised
of veterans representing different
military branches and experiences.
One included a marine who had become an English teacher and who
was now relieved that he had help
to argue punctuation and grammar
points. With the Chicago Manual
of Style, a dictionary, a willingness
to engage, and the ability to stare
everyone down, if need be, the marine and I became the editors.
True to the spirit of Moran’s announcement that day, all attention
went to the governor’s decree, and
I sharpened my pencils, got a pad,
and started working out an offensive.
The memorial committee had
decided that there would be time
lines for both the Atlantic and Pacific war theaters, written in the
shortest amount of words possible.
So we set about asking the veterans
for input, researching, writing, editing, reviewing, and participating
in lively meetings.

Veterans Place: The New Jersey World War II Memorial at the State Capitol
Complex preserves some of the state’s wartime heritage.
ers were heading to the beach or
going on vacation, I was busy
studying the Battle of Stalingrad,
the Red Ball Express, Eisenhower’s decision to launch the offensive on Normandy, the Death
March of Bataan, the liberation of
Paris and Rome, and more.
An additional duty for me was to
check facts and prowl for problems. And while that sounds wonkish, the reality that the memorial
words were going to be on stone
and porcelain walls for a long time,
put weight on the task. And I would
wake up in the middle of the night
convinced that I had just sent in
copy that misspelled everything,
especially the name Dwight Eisenhower.
And as it is with someone else’s
writing everyone else thinks he or
she knows everything without really investigating, so I needed to prepare for review as if I were a lawyer
or a military strategist. The most
interesting experience in this
process was when we were writing
about the Warsaw ghetto (with a
small “g”) — or was it Ghetto (with
a capital)?
Seeing the term for the place of
the Jewish uprising in Warsaw
printed both ways and hearing people make pronouncements that it
needed to be a capital “G” because
it was a place, I wanted to settle the
matter in the most credible way
possible.
To do so I went to a higher authority, called the Holocaust Museum in Washington, and spoke to its
chief writer. He explained that the
name that connected the city of
Warsaw with the word “ghetto”
was developed for a TV movie in
the 1970s and that it was not an ac-
tual name (so much for the knowit-alls). He went on to say that a
team of rabbis and historians had
discussed the matter and decided to
use the now popular name but with
a small “g.” Upon my request, he
forwarded me the documentation
which I kept ready whenever an expert started making pronouncements about the need to capitalize
the name of the ghetto in Warsaw.
There was also another need: a
time line of the war effort in the
Garden State.
W
hile there was a lot of information regarding the war in
general, the history of our state at
war would demand a lot more research and detective work. I soon
found a fascinating world that is
quickly fading.
I learned by calling the Fort Dix
Museum that thousands of German
and Italian prisoners of war were
sent to war camps in our state.
These were young men drafted and
sent to war fronts that quickly fell.
Although official enemy combatants, they were in reality just Sad
Sacks caught up in the war machine. While in New Jersey, they
were offered and accepted paying
jobs on state farms — ironically
filling in for workers who were
fighting overseas. When the war
was over, many returned and settled here. And while security was
low, so too were problems, except
for an Italian POW who escaped to
visit relatives in South Philadelphia during a festival weekend; he
returned when that event was over.
Who would have thought New
Jersey was the carrier pigeon center of the country at the start of the
war? During WW I General Pershing had become impressed by the
birds’ communication use and later
established a U.S. carrier pigeon
center at Fort Monmouth. Even
though radio communications
were more sophisticated at the start
of WWII, pigeons still proved to an
effective messenger system. In fact
there are several stories of pigeon
valor, including that of the famed
Blackie Halligan, the wounded pigeon that provided vital information to U.S. forces at Guadalcanal.
After being cited and decorated by
the military, Blackie retired to Fort
Monmouth.
Then there was a list of other
New Jersey at war facts. With the
formation of the country’s first
Civil Air Patrol in New Jersey, state
farmers became pilots and harassed and frightened German Uboats. A young candy company in
Newark received a K-ration contract and provided GIs with a then
unknown product, M&Ms. The
Pictatinny Arsenal in Sussex
County emerged as one of nation’s
major ammunition makers, employing more than 18,000 employees working around the clock. A
member of the famed Newark Calvary became the first American in
liberated Paris. And a German submarine’s surrender to the U.S.
Navy off the coast of Cape May
made it one of the last surrenders of
the European war.
Closer to the U.S. 1 area, the Radio Corporation of America Company in Princeton advanced radio
technology and gave the Allies the
upper hand in the Pacific. The
U.S.O. in Trenton attracted millions of soldiers and became the
place where numerous couples met
and later married. And Albert Einstein wrote a letter to President
Roosevelt that launched the Atomic era and helped end the war with
Japan.
Yet perhaps one of the most
memorable moments in the state’s
World War II memories may have
come 63 years after the end of the
war, when the memorial was dedicated on Veterans Day 2008.
Since I was part of no formal
committee — just a guy who got
the info together and sweated over
the facts, spelling, and punctuation
of everything put on stone and
porcelain — my place at the dedication was in the crowd. It was
there that I found myself in an army
of nearly 2,000 WW II veterans
who had been waiting years for this
moment, and I heard them talk and
remember.
It was then that I realized that I
was part of something bigger than I
had anticipated or could ever
dream. To see this body of seasoned men and women look at the
memorial and hear theirs sighs and
voices say, “It’s all here. It tells our
story. It’s all here,” was startling.
It was also one of the most gratifying moments that I have ever had
as a writer.
So when I visit the memorial this
year, I will think of those voices in
the crowd, the actions that happened long ago, and know that I did
my duty to serve those who served
our country during an uncertain
time. In my own way I have said
thank you.

memorial is part of the State Capitol Complex and open every day.

Monday, November 12, 7 p.m. “A Long
Way Gone: An Evening with Ishmael Beah.”
Beah is uniquely qualified to speak about the
brutalizing effects of war. Flash back to
1991: Sierra Leone, a country in West Africa,
was being ravaged by a bloody civil war.
Youth was no protection against violence.
Thousands of children were forcibly recruited as soldiers and made to perform unspeakable atrocities, often while being force-fed
drugs and submitting to sexual violation.
Ishmael Beah, recruited at 13, -was one of
those child soldiers.
Author of “A Long Way Gone: Memoirs
of a Boy Soldier,” Beah introduces a unique
perspective on corruption, violence and
morality at large. A Long Way Gone, called a
“ferocious and desolate account of how ordinary children were turned into professional
killers” by The Guardian U.K., is a haunting
narrative; this event allows attendees to hear
of Beah’s experiences first-hand.
Sponsored by the Belknap Fund in the
Council of the Humanities and the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures.

p.m. Theatre Intime presents “Wait Until
Dark,” a play by Frederick Knott
Watching a production by Theatre Intime
means more than a night at the theater. It is
also a way of participating in a unique phenomenon. Intime, founded by Princeton undergraduates in 1920, is entirely student-run,
from acting to administration. By 1922 the
company had secured its own venue, the
200-seat Hamilton Murray Theater. Acting
legends including Jimmy Stewart, Josh Logan, and Henry Fonda (a University of Minnesota student who was part of a summer
production) once performed for the company. Intime’s newest show, “Wait Until Dark”
(1966), is a drama rife with intrigue and
heroin-laced greed.
The play is driven by a struggle between
an innocent — a blind housewife named
Susy Hendrix — and three con-men. This
production, directed by Mike Pinsky ‘15,
gives its audience a chance to experience
(vicariously) the suspense that develops and
deepens as the disabled Hendrix grapples
with plotting criminals.

Hans Graf, the orchestra will begin its celebration of the season with a piece composed
by Edvard Grieg, aptly named, “In Autumn.”
The program includes a violin concert by
Jean Sibelius and concludes with Johannes
Brahms’ Third Symphony. Brahms’ Third is
a unique piece, one that was at the time
deemed “the most artistically perfect” of the
composer’s symphonies.

Trenton Takes ‘All Day’
To Show Off Its Art
A
rt All Day — a new event created to
highlight the arts in Trenton — makes its debut on Saturday, November 10. Created by
city artists and coordinators of the non-profit center Artworks, the day is designed to put
a spotlight on Trenton-based artists and the
creative activity that thrives in the city.
The all day, all free event features selfguided tours of artists’ studios and workspaces, an exhibition of established and
emerging city artists, and a reception.
With over 65 artists participating at 25
open studios and creative venues throughout
the city, the day offers visits with the
AbOminOg International Arts Collective
(U.S. 1, October 31), Ana Design, Exit 7A
studio, S.A.G.E. Coalition (U.S. 1, September 19), TerraCycle, the Trenton Area Soup
Kitchen A-Team (U.S. 1, August 22), and a
mix of some of the Trenton region’s most
creative and acclaimed artists.
A separate 33-site public art tour will also
be a feature of the day, and organizers have
created a map to help visitors locate sculpture, murals, installations, and other public
art within New Jersey’s capital city. Trenton’s public art includes works by such
November 9
prominent American artists as Alexander
Calder, George Segal, Nam June Paik,
Thomas Eakins, N.C. Wyeth, Everett Shinn,

and an opportunity to talk to artists, learn

them create in their workspace.

and adjustments to the
image until I’m happy
with the flow of the design.” The flow comes
from a mixture of planning, intuition, and trail
and error.
But the Turing patterns are just the starting
point. Then come color
and how the colors transition through the painting. The puzzle the artist
sets himself up to solve,
with positive and negative layers, has its roots
in the thought challenging “Brainiac” puzzles
he did as a child growing up with a market analyst father, stay-athome mother, and a
brother in central and
northern New Jersey.
After the under painting is complete, Werth hand paints thousands
of individual marks, using a maulstick to
keep his hand steady, giving the images an
optical depth. “The marks take much longer
than the under painting,” he says.
Werth uses metallic pigments for a reflective quality. The paintings look different
from different angles, and they seem to move
and pulsate.
Vision impairment, or corrected vision,
can also affect the way the paintings are seen.
Werth had Lasik surgery to correct his vision
a few years ago, and the doctor suggested
leaving one eye slightly near-sighted to help
with reading. But Werth didn’t like the effect. “My paintings didn’t work the same because the stereoscopic vision wasn’t crisp.”
“The colors we see are due to the pigmentation in our eyes as well as the neural structure of our brain,” he writes. “We generally
think of vision as being like photography,
where an entire image is presented to us at
once.” But vision might better be compared
to touch, he says, “since it is only through the
continuous probing and movement of our
eyes that we are able to construct the world
around us.”
This approach is described in the term

Patterns & Meaniing: Andrew Werth’s current exhibits
include Enaction, at left, and ‘Creation’ (a detail, at right).
“enaction” coined by Francisco Varela,
Evan Thompson, and Eleanor Rosch in
“The Embodied Mind: Cognitive Science
and Human Experience.” “The mind is not
just a passive receiver of data,” says
Werth, who has titled one of his paintings
“Enaction.” “We have a spacio-temporal
sense as we move through the world.”
After studying computer engineering
and information networking at Carnegie
Mellon, the New Jersey native worked in
software development for Bellcore and
CNET. When he rose to management, he
missed the creative side, and so at age 29
decided to try something else.
Thinking he might like to study psychology or philosophy and go on to an academic career, he moved to Manhattan.
There he got sidetracked by taking cooking classes at Peter Kump (now the Institute of Culinary Education) and art classes
through the Art Students League.
He also took the Viewing Art Intelligently courses with Jon Zinsser at the New
School from 2001 to 2009. Zinsser would
give his students a list of exhibitions they
should see, then discuss the influences on
the contemporary art world. “That’s what
got me in the museum and gallery-going
habit,” says Werth.
Learning drawing, color theory, and
landscape painting, his earlier works were
representational. Even now, his studio includes a realistic portrait of his wife,
Karen Yee, and a self-portrait. “I liked representational painting, but didn’t have that
much fun that I’d want to do it professionally. The subjects I’m interested in are abstract.”

Food and Wine Pairing, Cross-
The 42-year-old artist took classes in
abstract painting at Cooper Union and the
92nd Street Y. It reminded him of the
maze drawings, or Brainiac puzzles.
During one of his classes in abstraction, while painting a still life, “in frustration I started doing marks in colors, and it
triggered something in my brain. I was interested in perceptual things, and I developed my technique, learning by experimenting.”
Putting different colors next to one another could push something forward or
back, he discovered. Using color gradients, the brain perceives a fading into the
distance.
One of the biggest compliments Werth
has received was at an opening of an exhibit at D&R Greenway’s Johnson Education Center, when a woman told him
she felt as if she had in her dreams been to
the place he painted.
Werth says, “As a software developer,
most of what you write fades away, but I
hope my paintings allow me to be a part of
people’s lives for a long time.”

DWM 59: I’m not a perfect man, but
I’m a good, sweet, and caring man with
a lot of love to give to the right woman
who takes the time to get to know and
understand me. Don’t smoke or do
drugs, and I do enjoy a drink now and
then. The longest relationship I was in
was 24 years. I am not a player of any
kind, just a simple man looking to meet
that lasting relationship. I’m a hardworking man, I give a lot of time to my
work, I guess to fill the emptiness of being alone. I’m a very romantic type and
not afraid to put it out there. But many
times it backfires, by which I mean when
a man gives everything in a relationship
he expects the same back; you being a
woman should understand how I’m feeling. I decided that life is too short and
that I just know that there must be a
woman who wants to be in that special
relationship. About myself: I love to travel, I love anything from the mountains to
the sea, I’m into football, baseball, and
going to New York at Christmas. But I’m
that type of person who wants to work
on that special relationship and it’s not
all about what I like to do. It’s about what
we would like to do as a couple. Let’s
take that time and reach out before life
passes us by and what could have
been... I hope that you’re willing to reach
out and take that chance of true happiness and write me and let’s chat and
maybe meet when we both feel comfortable. Like I said at the start I’m not a
player, just want what everyone else
has: love and happiness. Box 236553

At the Film Fests, Artists Break Their Bubble
A
s the New Jersey Film
Festival in New Brunswick winds
down its fall season and the Trenton Film Society prepares for its international film festival, running
Friday through Sunday, November
9 through 11, it’s clear that film festivals are becoming as important to
regional culture as are museums.
In fact, there are about 50 film
festivals taking place around the
Garden State. Yet all film festivals,
like the films that are shown, are
not all the same. And while some
festivals may be more about glitz
and glamour, others are about the
nuts and bolts of making film and,
more importantly, filmmakers.
Central New Jersey filmmaker
and founder/former director of the
Trenton Film Festival Kevin
Williams says that for film artists,
“Film festivals are huge. In many
ways they are the first chance for a
filmmaker to get it in front of an audience who are not friends or family, people who will give honest
feedback. It’s the single best place
to grow as an artist.”
By seeing one’s work through
the eyes of a new audience,
Williams says filmmakers learn
what it takes to get an audience’s
attention. “You really have to get
the audience to bite onto your story.
As a filmmaker you want to have
people want to see your film more
than they want to see someone
else’s. When you’re making a film,
you’re in a bubble.”
Williams says that filmmakers
usually see three stages of filmmaking: pre-production or planning, followed by the production or
actual filming, and finally the postproduction editing. Yet there is actually an important fourth stage,
and that’s getting the work in front
of audience and learning from that
experience. “The questions and answers segment after a film provides
immediate connection,” he says.
Williams — whose most recent
film is the political documentary
“Fear of a Black Republican” —
says that for him and other filmmakers, “film festival provides opportunities for a filmmaker who
doesn’t live in New York or Los
Angeles. A festival is the first place
for a filmmaker to get attention.
Sometimes it’s the first time that
they even talk to a newspaper reporter in their lives.”
He adds that while festivals are
important for young filmmakers,
they are not the only artists creating. “We get films from people
who are accountants or an English
teacher by day or someone in mid
career who wants to explore an
artistic side. In a lot of ways a festival is more important for them than
for younger people who have time
on their side.”
Small festivals, such as Trenton’s festivals as well as the Princeton Environmental Film Festival in
January, are also better options for
emerging filmmakers.
“Unless you have a certain type
of film that has demographics that
are important to a larger festival,
it’s more difficult to get into them.
Smaller festivals — such as the one
by Dan Aubrey
in Trenton — provide a great opportunity. For someone just starting out, it’s more of advantage to
enter a small festival for exposure.
You have a better chance getting
into Princeton than Sundance. It’s
the appropriate place to start,” says
Williams.
Williams feels that large festivals and the film industry “are becoming more about money and
who is in the film,” he says. “Being
rejected doesn’t mean that someone’s not talented, it is just part of
the industry.”
William Mastrosimone, a Trenton native and now a Bucks County-based screenplay writer (“With
Honors”) and award winning
dramatist (“Extremities”), has attended several festivals as a featured guest and provided seminars
for writers. “I think of a film festival as a kind of arts bazaar,” he
says, explaining that some people
come to show their wares, others
come to see the films, but others
come because they want to learn
how to make a film. The educational component seems most important to him, education for both the
emerging and established filmmaker.
“Confucius has a great quote,
‘He who keeps on reviewing his
old knowledge and acquiring new
knowledge may become a teacher
of others.’ So for me, having been
part of a few movies, I had an experience to impart; and for the students who come to learn, they force
me to review my old knowledge
and often inspire me to acquire new
knowledge. That’s how a film festival can benefit a community,” says
Mastrosimone.
Albert Nigrin — filmmaker and
founder and executive director of
the New Jersey Film Festival at
Rutgers University in New
Brunswick — says that he’s seen a
blossoming of film festivals over
the past decade and breaks them
down into three main categories.
First, there’s the big market
place festivals where films with
million dollar plus budgets hope to
connect with distributors; those are
the big name ones such as Sundance, Toronto, and Cannes. These
festivals, he says, are usually out of
reach for emerging filmmakers
who lack fat wallets that can attach
big names.
Next are the chamber of commerce film festivals that generate
business in towns. While they have
a positive aspect of including area
filmmakers, they are often less judicious.
Then there’s the university-type
festival that brings people together
for informative or educational purposes. It’s a place that can engage,
challenge, and inform the filmmaker.
Nigrin says that with today’s
proliferation of digital technology
films are being submitted up to 15
times more than they were several
years ago. And while new technologies make filmmaking easier
and cheaper, it doesn’t translate into good films. Many ramble and
lack focus, he says.
Since, according to Nigrin, the
New Jersey Film Festival is about
showing well made films and encouraging filmmakers, there is a
jury process that views about 1,000
annual entries to select 100 films to
be shown throughout the year.
“When you see the responses of the
judges, you know that these are the
films we want to show,”
The focus, however, is on the
artist. “There are people who have
visions and spend a lot of time creating. They area driven by making
art,” says Nigrin.
S
ince documentary filmmaking does not bring in lot of money
for filmmakers, they have to figure
out other ways to support themselves and their work. Those dedicated enough to spend their days
and resources for years and years
need a place — such as a serious
film festival — that encourages
craft and growth.
Nigrin says that while the festival regularly receives 50 to 60 entries from New Jersey, it only selects a few.
This year there were two documentaries from the U.S. 1 region:
Diane Ciccone’s “An Act of Faith”
(dealing with overcoming racial
prejudice and segregation in 1950s
Princeton) and Leigha Cohen’s “99
Percent Solution” (an examination
of the impending water crisis).
“Diane is very modest about her
film. I thought it was great that a
first time filmmaker did something
so serious. It’s a tight little film. It’s
the same thing with Leigha; I realized it was an essay type of film.
These filmmakers do not have a lot
of money yet are still able to create
films about issues,” says Nigrin.
Ciccone’s comments echoes
those of William and Nigrin, “Festivals are a great vehicle to get publicity about your film and serve as
validation of the artistic merit of
your work. It is a great boost to
emerging and young filmmakers
that your work is appreciated and
noticed.”
She adds, “By attending the festival during the screening of your
film you get great feedback from
the audience. It is also a great opportunity to see what other filmmakers are doing.”
Ciccone says that she shoot with
a professional Sony camera, edits
with Final Cut Pro, and sets a very
low budget for self funding. While
she relishes the creative process of
telling a story, she says that creating a film from start to finish is a
long process, especially when —
as in the case of a good number of
emerging filmmakers — it cannot
be a fulltime project.
Sensing that her filmmaking can
be enhanced by learning to use different visual techniques to enhance
the viewers’ experience, she says
her participation in the New Jersey
Film Festival has been beneficial.
“It helps to see what other filmmakers are doing that make the
film visually interesting yet keep
the story line flowing.”
Story telling from local and foreign filmmakers continues to flow
this weekend.
This Saturday, November 10, is
deadline for entries for the New
Jersey Film Festival’s 2013 spring
festival, set to open in late January.
Also this Friday, November 9,
marks the Trenton Film Society’s
Trenton International Film Festival, part of its mission to explore
local and international issues,
while building an understanding of
filmmaking. The weekend includes the opportunity to discuss
filmmaking with filmmakers from
Nigeria and Guadeloupe.
While this international event
takes a world view, the society also
thinks locally and will screen films

by local filmmakers in December.
As Williams says films today are
becoming more about money, as
attested to the segments on television news programs where news
anchors announce film box office
receipts rather than artistic quality.
However, there is something
that brings in that box office in the
first place. “New ideas and new talents are important,” says Williams.
And our regional film festivals
seem to be about the new.

THE
DARK LATELY?
Princeton University’s Andlinger Center Takes Aim
at the Complex Energy Challenges We All Face
I
n the past 15 months New
Jersey has experienced Hurricane
Irene, a freak Halloween snowstorm, a snow-less winter, and
Hurricane Sandy — and who
knows what in terms of the
nor’easter now predicted to pelt the
shoreline this week. A state long
known for its moderate climate has
come to accept that severe and
atypical weather is part of a new
normal, and that climate change
may well be the culprit.
But the Garden State, suddenly
a case study for changing weather
patterns globally, is also a leader in
research on energy and environmental policy for the future. At the
forefront of innovation in these areas is Princeton University, which
hosts the inaugural meeting of the
Princeton Energy and Environment Corporate Affiliates Program
(EECAP) on Monday and Tuesday,
November 12 and 13. Titled “Synergize 2012,” the two-day event
will bring together leaders in academe, business, and industry for a
series of lectures and discussions
meant to build partnerships and encourage innovation.
Registration for the event is
closed, but the issues that it will address are likely to be around — and
be debated and discussed — for a
long time to come.
The Corporate Affiliates Program is led by the university’s Andlinger Center for Energy and the
Environment and also includes the
Woodrow Wilson School of Public
and International Affairs, the
School of Architecture, and the
Princeton Environmental Institute.
The Princeton Plasma Physics
Lab, Geophysical Fluid Dynamics
Lab, and Princeton Institute for the
Science and Technology of Materials (PRISM) are also involved. Ac-
What’s our energy future and how do we
reach it? Princeton’s
Andlinger Center
studies the thorny issues, hoping that
knowledge can truly
be power.
cording to its website —
http://acee.princeton.edu — the
program “enhances collaboration
and promotes technology transfer
between Princeton University and
its corporate partners to address
global energy needs and environmental concerns.”
Its goals, the website says, are
five-fold:
— Develop new solutions for
industry and investment opportunities for venture capitalists.
— Propose policies to efficiently implement these solutions on a
large scale.
— Create a think tank to inform
key players of energy and environmental issues at a global level.
— Offer access to expertise in
the field.
— Improve education on energy
and the environment through close
interactions between teachers,
practitioners, and students.
When facing the complex challenges at the intersection of energy
and the environment, the solutions
are not likely to come “at the
benchtop,” where academicians
typically pursue their research,
says Professor Lynn Loo, deputy
director of the Andlinger Center.
The challenges, she adds, require
“long term solutions and sustained
investments,” guided by a longterm policy that could involve private companies and public institutions, as well as academics.
Loo was first drawn to science
as a small child when her father, a
Malaysian-based businessman for
Shell Oil, brought home diagrams
showing how “black goo” was
transformed into fuels. She earned
a bachelor’s degrees in both materials science and chemical engineering at Penn in 1996 and then a
Ph.D. in chemical engineering at
Princeton in 2001.
Aprofessor of chemical and biological engineering at the university, Loo is pursuing various research projects, including work on
how plastics could be utilized to
create low-cost solar power sys-
tems. In 2012 the World Economic
Forum named her a Young Global
Leader.
While Princeton already is a
center for research into the causes
and effects of climate change (U.S.
1, May 30, 2012), the university is
also assembling a critical interdisciplinary mass of researchers engaged in energy. The Andlinger
Center, funded initially by a $100
million gift from private investment manager Gerhard R. Andlinger, Princeton Class of ‘52,
brings together about 90 faculty
members. And, Loo says, “we are
reaching out to the private sector”
through the corporate affiliates
program.
Participation ranges from
$10,000 a year for affiliate members to $500,000 a year for charter
members. That figure may seem
steep but 70 percent of the money
is used to fund research efforts that
are aligned with the corporate
member’s technology goals. And
the corporate affiliates interact not
only with the faculty but also with
the students, who may end up being recruited for post-graduate
jobs.
The “Synergize 2012” event
kicks off on the afternoon of Monday, November 12, with a lecture
on hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. Denise Mauzerall, a professor
of civil and environmental engineering and public and international affairs, will lead a panel titled
“Hydraulic Fracturing — Potential
Implications for Climate Change
and America’s Energy Future.”
Panelists will include Pamela
Franklin, chief of the non-carbon
dioxide programs branch at the
federal Environmental Protection
Agency; Robert Harris of the Environmental Defense Fund and the
Houston Advanced Research Center; and Gregory Hild, who works
in business development at
Chevron North America.
While fracking — the practice
of drilling into rock formations to
release natural gas — has obvious
economic benefits, environmental
consequences include air and water contamination and possible
public health implications. While
the practice is not used in New Jersey, it has been the subject of recent
legislation, and is a major cause of
concern to environmental activists
in neighboring Pennsylvania. In
2011 New Jersey became the first
state to impose any sort of ban on
fracking. Governor Chris Christie
vetoed a permanent ban but implemented a one-year moratorium on
fracking activity. Earlier this year
Christie vetoed legislation that
would prevent waste from fracking
in other states from being
processed in New Jersey.
The program on Tuesday, November 13, includes a welcome address by Loo, and an introduction
NOVEMBER 7, 2012
to the Andlinger Center by director
Emily Carter, a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering and applied and computational
mathematics.
Michael Di Capua, the head of
U.S. analysis for Bloomberg New
Energy Finance in New York City,
delivers the keynote address,
“What’s Next For U.S. Energy?” at
9 a.m.
Di Capua, who moved to Florida from Colombia as a child, holds
a bachelor’s degree in physics from
Harvard, a master’s in literature
from Columbia, and an MBA from
the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. He previously worked for Tata Power in India
on solar energy project development and as a consultant to the telecom industry. His current position
involves leading a team that produces reports, analyses, and models relating to clean energy.
Other lectures on November
13’s agenda include “The Challenges of Uncertainty in Energy
Systems Analysis” by Warren
Powell, a professor of operations
research and financial engineering
at 10 a.m.; “Photosynthesis, It’s
Not Just for Plants Anymore: Light
Driven Conversion of Carbon
Dioxide to Fuels” by chemistry
professor Andrew Bocarsly at
10:30 a.m.; and “Global Warming
and the Land Carbon Sink” by
ecology and evolutionary biology
professor Steve Pacala (U.S. 1,
May 30, 2012), at 11 a.m.
In the afternoon mechanical and
aerospace engineering professor
Robert Socolow will lead a panel
discussion on “The Future of Nuclear Reactors: Large or Small?” at
2 p.m. Panelists will include
Alexander Glaser, an assistant professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering and international affairs; PSEG Power president
and COO William Levis; senior
vice president and chief nuclear officer Pierre Oneid of Holtec International, a supplier of equipment
for nuclear, solar, geothermal, and
fossil power; and Robert Rosner of
the University of Chicago.
T
he conference is the inaugural gathering of the corporate affiliates program and seems to demonstrate the goals set for the Andlinger Center when it was
launched in 2008. As director Emily Carter said in a university press
release at the time: “The scale of
the problem is immense. If you
look at where we get most of our
energy, 85 percent of it comes from
non-renewable fossil fuels whose
combustion products pollute our
environment. If we want to reach
the point of not using any fossil fuels at all someday, the problem is
incredibly daunting.
Hooked on Energy:
People crave their
devices, and when
Hurricane Sandy sent
most of Princeton into
darkness, residents
flocked to the public
library for, what else,
a fix.
“It’s going to take many different approaches and many people in
different disciplines working in
parallel and with a lot of cross-fertilization,” she said, noting she has
cultivated this interdisciplinary approach to problem solving in her
own research group, which consists of students from six different
departments and programs at
Princeton.
“I also want our work at the center to be done in tandem with economists and public policy experts
who examine the technologies
we’re working on and discuss with
us how different solutions could fit
‘With the intellectual
firepower we have
right now at Princeton University and
with the Andlinger
Center, we have the
potential to make real
progress on creating
a clean energy
future.’
into the marketplace and what sort
of government policies are needed
to allow these new technologies to
take off and create new industries
and jobs.”
In the press statement Carter cited the university’s science departments as well as the Princeton Environmental Institute, the Princeton Institute for the Science and
Technology of Materials, the
Woodrow Wilson School of Public
and International Affairs and the
School of Architecture as key partners. In addition, the federal labs
on campus — the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory and the
Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory — greatly augment the
center’s mission, she said.
“With the intellectual firepower
we have right now at Princeton and
with the Andlinger Center now
starting, we have the potential to
make real progress on creating a
clean energy future,” Carter said.
“It is just a fantastic opportunity
that Gerry Andlinger has provided,
and I am honored to be part of it.”
The career path of Mauzerell,
who leads the discussion on fracking, may be a microcosm of how
the new Andlinger Center hopes to
function.
The daughter of two scientists,
Mauzerall earned a bachelor’s in
chemistry from Brown in 1985 and
a PhD in atmospheric chemistry
from Harvard in 1996. Prior to
joining the Princeton faculty in
1999, she worked for Bruce Company, an environmental consulting
firm in Washington, D.C.; the
United States Environmental Protection Agency; and the National
Center for Atmospheric Research
in Boulder, Colorado. Her current
research focuses on air quality
policy and the impacts of air pollution globally and specifically in
China and the United States.
As a university press release
describes it, Mauzerall’s work is
guided by a passion for the environment that was sparked at an
early age. She was inspired by her
parents, both scientists. They introduced her to the folk singer Pete Seeger, who arrived each fall in
her hometown of Dobbs Ferry,
N.Y., on the Clearwater sloop, the
flagship of an environmental organization Seeger founded to help
clean up the Hudson River. He
would sing songs such as
“Garbage” and “Sailing Up, Sailing Down” in small concerts in a
park by the river. Sitting at his
feet, Mauzerall resolved to help
clean up the environment.
“My parents are both scientists
and they made me realize that understanding how the science
worked was critical to figuring
out the solution” to environmental
problems, Mauzerall said. The solution, she realized was “to go beyond doing basic research to figure out how to apply science to environmental policymaking in order to really solve environmental
problems. I debated whether to
continue in science, go to law
school or make a career in Washington, D.C.”
Her parents, in contrast, “were
powerless, as people who worked
on the research side, to implement
the solutions.”
Powerless — not a good place
to be, as many of us know from recent experience.

was not hit as hard by Hurricane
Sandy as some other areas New
Jersey, life has still not been normal in the week since the super
storm roared through the state on
October 29.
Small business owners throughout the region began picking up the
pieces as soon as the rain stopped.
Some were able to open their doors
within a few hours of the storm,
others are still not fully operational.
Georgianne Vinicombe of Monday Morning Flowers, based in
Forrestal Village, considers herself
one of the lucky ones. Power returned to her store on October 31
and there was very little damage to
the store or her fragile inventory.
“We had some panels blow off
the compressor on the roof, but the
compressor is still working. The
fruit cooler blew a thermostat and
the alarm system on the coolers
failed,” she said.
Before the storm Vinicombe
took all of her flowers out of the
cooler, put them in the main room
of the store, and cooled it down as
best she could. “If your cooler fails
it can often get hotter inside than
outside,” Vinicombe explained.
When she returned to the store
the flowers were still in good condition and ready for weekend weddings — she had three scheduled,
and luckily none had been canceled due to the hurricane.
But that doesn’t mean that
everything was easy or that there
were no losses. For Vinicombe,
there was lost street business at

were not so lucky.
“I had a call from a client almost
as soon as the rain stopped on Tuesday morning,” says Brian Critchley of OM Central Jersey Massage,
located in the Princeton Meadows
Office Center in Plainsboro. Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to respond.
Critchley offers in-home massage and private yoga lessons
throughout Mercer County and also offers classes in his studio in
Plainsboro. Between power outages, roads blocked by downed
power lines and trees, and problems getting gasoline, he wasn’t
able to take appointments until Friday.
“If I’m not taking appointments,
I’m not getting paid,” said Critchley, who was able to hold a yoga
and meditation retreat that had
been scheduled for Saturday, November 3. “We had about 70 percent attendance. I thought that was
really excellent under the circumstances.”
There are four things business
owners should focus on right now
to get back in business, according
to business coach Marshall Calman of Princeton. The first thing he
suggests is to reach out to your
clients, your neighbors and others
in New Jersey who may be in need.

came in and did some of the cleaning. It was a win-win. The cleaning
service got business it needed, its
employees were paid and the hospital got needed work done.”
There are also a lot of stories
about businesses helping each other. Many businesses set up “charging stations” so people without
power could charge their cell
phones and other portable devices.
Generators were passed from person to person and business to business as power came on in different
areas. Business owners with power
opened their doors to other businesses and clients who needed a
warm meal, an internet connection,
or just a sense of normalcy for an
hour or two.
“Right now there are so many
people in need and dozens of ways
to help. Call your clients. Ask if
they need anything. Not only is it
the right thing to do, they will remember it later,” says Calman.
“One of the most common mistakes small business owners make
is to skimp on the disaster plan,”
says Calman. In today’s world,
businesses just don’t run without
Internet access. If your server goes
down you may lose your E-mail,
your website, your ability to take
orders or accept charge cards, or
lose vital information that is not
properly backed up.
“Most small businesses don’t
know where their web host’s server
is located,” says Lisa Snyder of Silver Hoop Edge website design in
Lawrenceville. “Make sure your
web host has servers in more than
one location,” she suggests. If not,
you may want to consider another
hosting service.
Snyder had her own difficulties
in the storm. Although she had
power and telephone throughout
the week, a fallen tree took down
her Internet service. Luckily, she is
tech savvy enough to have found a
way around the problem. She
“tethered” a smart phone and used
it as a “mini Wi-Fi hotspot.”
The connection was slow, and
she recommends anyone trying
this solution check on their data
plan. “If you don’t have unlimited
access you will want to keep your
Internet use down to only the essentials. This isn’t the best way to
do that hour-long internet research
project you’ve been planning,”
cautions Snyder, “but it is a good
way to make sure that your business continues to run.”
If an alternate way to access the
internet isn’t on your disaster plan,
make sure you add it to the list.
Critchley found the glitch in his
disaster plan: while all of his contacts are listed on his desktop computer, he had no way to access it
when the power went out at his
home, and he suddenly found that
he had not added all of his clients to
his cell phone. “I’m a mobile business. But somehow it never occurred to me that I wouldn’t always
have access to my desktop computer,” he says.
Gulak has put a generator on his
disaster plan. “I was lucky. I was
able to borrow a generator within a
day, but next time I’m going to be
prepared with my own,” he says. “I
wouldn’t have lost as much inventory if I’d had one.”
“Now is the time to review how
well things went, what worked and
what didn’t. You may have nine
parts of the plan working, but it’s
that tenth thing that you forgot that
will stop your business,” says Calman. “With Irene last year and
Sandy this year, not to mention the
possibility of a good blizzard, there
is no one in New Jersey who should
be saying, ‘It can’t happen here.’”
The third step Calman suggests
to get your business back on track
after Hurricane Sandy is to refocus
— fast. “Most businesses were
down 25 to 50 percent last week.
And most small businesses live on
the edge. If you don’t refocus right
now those losses could easily keep
going right through the end of the
quarter,” he warns.
Diane Giudidas, of Robbinsville-based Window Treatments by Diane, agrees. She spent
the last week juggling her business
and her family. Not only did she
lose power at her home and business, she also had to help her elderly mother, who was also without
power. She missed 8 to 10 appointments last week that she now needs
to reschedule. “I feel as if everyone
in the state has lost focus,” she
says. “No one is ready to think
about window treatments. If they
don’t have power they aren’t ready.
If they do have power they are still
thinking about the storm and the
damage.”
But despite the difficulties she
did manage to send out an estimate
and have it accepted on Saturday.
“You just have to find time to work,
no matter what. Sneak in a few
hours at night and work the weekends,” she says.
What’s bad news for one person
is opportunity for another. “Look
around. What new opportunities
have been presented by the
storm?” Calman asks. It may sound
callous to talk about opportunities,
but if handled correctly, it’s not, he
adds. “First you do your homework. Reach out now to your
clients and people and need. Give
back, then watch to see what opportunities will present themselves.”

Sandy Raises Labor
And Pay Questions
S
o your business was temporarily closed as a result of damage or power disruptions caused by
Hurricane Sandy. Are you required
to pay your employees for the days
they missed? Can you force them
to use their vacation time to make
up for the lost days?
The Employers Association of
New Jersey says it received numerous calls and E-mails from its employer-members following the
storm — most of them related to
wage and hour and unemployment
questions.
The answer to the questions
aren’t as straightforward as you
would think, and mostly depend
upon whether an employee is classified as exempt or non-exempt under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
Non-exempt employees are
covered by the overtime pay requirements of the FLSA. Records
are kept of their hours and they are
paid time-and-a-half for every
hour they work over 40 per week.
Exempt employees — usually
salaried positions — do not receive
overtime pay no matter how many
hours they work in a work week.
John Sarno, EANJ president and
general counsel, says that many
employers are paying employees
even they don’t legally have to do
so.
“It’s unclear whether employers
are paying employees for lost time
out of generosity, or out of a misunderstanding of the law,” Sarno
says. “With many offices and facilities in New Jersey closed for at
least some portion of this past
week, many members are struggling with the best approach for
compensating employees.”
According to William R. Horwitz of the labor and employment
practice group at the Drinker Biddle law firm, companies are generally not required to pay non-exempt employees when they are not
working, unless agreements or
policies are in effect that state otherwise. “If your business is closed
and your employees do not report
to work, you are not obligated to
pay non-exempt employees,” he
says.
Horwitz adds that businesses
must make sure that these employees are not checking work E-mails,
communicating with supervisors
about work-related issues, or otherwise working from home. In
those cases non-exempt employees
are entitled to be paid for those activities even if they do not physically report to work.
“Some states require an employer to pay employees for reporting
to work, even if the business closes
and the employer sends them
home,” says Horwitz. “For example, a New Jersey employer must
pay non-exempt employees who
report to work at least one hour of
pay.”
Exempt employees, meanwhile,
are generally entitled to receive
their full salaries, even if the business is closed — unless a business
is closed for a week or more, says

Horwitz. “If a business is closed
for an entire week and an exempt
employee performs absolutely no
work during that time, the employer is generally not required to pay
the employee for the week.”
But if a company decides to
close its facility for a full day and
the exempt, salaried employee has
performed work during the work
week, the lost day cannot be deducted from his or her salary, says
Sarno. “Likewise, if the employer
closes for a partial day, a partial day
deduction cannot be made.”
When a business is temporarily
closed, the employer can require
exempt employees to use accrued
vacation time for the time off, but
this requirement should be set forth
clearly in the company’s employee
handbook, and any employment
contracts. “The employer should
understand that this requirement
may create morale problems
among affected employees,” Horwitz points out.
As far as requiring employees to
report to a business that remains
open during a natural disaster, a
declaration of a “state of emergency” by officials does not pro-

parties if accidents occur as employees try to make their way to
work under tough conditions,”
Horwitz says.
“Also, while public transportation remains largely suspended and
other means of commuting are
treacherous, working from home
for a day or two may constitute a
reasonable accommodation for a
disabled employee,” he says.
Employers are also not required
to give time off to employees
whose homes lives have been impacted by a natural disaster. “Employees whose homes remain without power, who are repairing damage to their property, or whose children’s schools remain closed may
seek additional time off from
work,” says Horwitz.
“While an employer that can afford to do so may allow additional
flexibility to these employees in
order to give them peace of mind
and improve their loyalty and
morale, a state of emergency does
not impose any additional obligation on employers with respect to
these requests and they may be
handled pursuant to the employer’s
contracts and policies,” he says.
Sarno says that EANJ has set up
a real-time electronic bulletin
board to provide information to association members about the decisions other companies are making.
According to Sarno, most employers seem to be choosing to pay both
hourly and salaried employees for
the lost days, although some are requiring the use of banked paid time
off.
“It’s a little bit of a mixed bag
but I like to think that most employers don’t want to penalize their
employees when so many are without electricity, water, and gas.”
Sarno says.

Unemployment For
Some Sandy Victims
U
nemployment benefits may
be available for workers who lost
pay due to an office or plant closure, or who lost their jobs as a result of the storm. Residents in 10
New Jersey counties, including
Somerset and Middlesex, are currently eligible for federal Disaster
Unemployment Assistance (DUA)
as a result of the hurricane.
Mercer County is awaiting a decision on eligibility for assistance
for homeowners and business
owners who suffered damage from
the storm.
DUA is available for persons,
including self-employed individuals, who were living or working in
the affected counties at the time of
the disaster, and who are unemployed as a direct result of the damages caused by the storm, accord-
NOVEMBER 7, 2012
ing to Lorette Pruden of the small
business consulting and coaching
firm Team Nimbus N.J., located in
Belle Mead.
“Most impacted workers may
already qualify for regular unemployment insurance,” says Pruden.
“The federal DUA is a special program that covers many people who
otherwise may not be eligible for
regular unemployment insurance.”
A 30-day deadline — ending
December 3 — is in effect for filing
DUA claims resulting from Sandy.
Other eligible counties are Atlantic, Bergen, Cape May, Essex,
Hudson, Monmouth, Ocean, and
Union.
DUA is currently available only
in the 10 counties that have been
declared a federal a disaster area
and available for individual assistance. Additional counties may be
added to the disaster declaration as
a result of ongoing damage assessments by local, state, and federal
officials.
Pruden says that anyone unemployed in those counties as a result
of the disaster starting on October
28, should first file for unemployment insurance benefits on the Internet at www.njuifile.net.
Although the Internet processes
claims faster, people can also file a
claim by telephone by contacting
the state Department of Labor’s
Re-employment call center at 732761-2020.
Once eligibility for state unemployment insurance is determined
— the self-employed will be denied benefits — federal DUA can
be applied for.
For additional information
about DUA, are or for FEMA services, call the FEMA emergency
number at 1-800-621-FEMA
(3362), or go to www.disasterassistance.gov or www.fema.gov.
“I’m sure there will hoops to
jump through, so start early if your
income has been affected by
Sandy,” says Pruden.

Systech International, the Cranbury-based manufacturer of scanning and radio frequency identification devices, has announced the
launch of e-Fingerprint, a product
developed to combat pharmaceutical counterfeiting.
“e-Fingerprint will revolutionize the industry’s approach to combating counterfeiting,” says Robert
DeJean, Systech CEO. “It is different than any other anti-counterfeit
solution out there — by piggybacking on the existing serialization process, e-Fingerprint offers
our customers an effective authentication solution at a fraction of the
cost of deploying other covert or
overt technologies.”
Serialization is the registration
and labeling of pharmaceuticals
with a distinctive number — usually a barcode — to document a
product through its complete product lifecycle.
The e-Fingerprint system takes
the visual noise generated by barcodes captured by pharmaceutical
product inspection cameras during
the serialization process, and then
translates the image into a data
string. The data string can then be
sent to other locations — such as
warehouses or pharmacies —
where it can be used to authenticate
products.
The system is similar to other visual authentication systems being
used, but e-Fingerprint is the only
one that translates the imagery into
a data string rather than using the
actual image.
Founded by DeJean in 1985,
Systech was designed to help the
pharmaceutical industry face
growing pressures to become more
effective in developing products
while maintaining compliance
with regulatory mandates through
packaging.
DeJean is a longtime veteran in
industrial automation for the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries. Before Systech, DeJean
served in various sales and management roles for General Electric,
Texas Instruments, and Ribble Engineering. He holds a bachelor’s in
engineering from Fairleigh Dickinson.

NOVEMBER 7, 2012
S
ometime in the foggy,
1970s recesses of my brain, I recall
sitting at the bar at the Hudibras
Tavern on Nassau Street in Princeton (the space now occupied by the
Triumph brew pub), taking a break
from the rigors of my freelance
writing career, and trying to figure
out what I needed to do to complete
some pressing assignment for People magazine that could be critical
to my future as a star performer in
the writing game and that certainly
would be critical to my paying the
phone or electric bill coming up in
the next month.
As I was pondering these
weighty thoughts I was distracted
by the chatter of two hyperactive
young women sitting a few
barstools away. They were telling
everyone within earshot about a
rock concert they were attending
later that evening at Princeton University’s Jadwin Gym. The performer was someone they had followed religiously from bar to bar
on the Jersey Shore nightclub
scene for the last year or two, and
this was a breakout concert for him
in front of what they imagined
would be a sold out venue.
The guy they were following
was named Bruce Springsteen. The
date, I now know from a quick In-
Richard K. Rein
ternet search, was November 1,
1978.
I had heard about Springsteen
but didn’t know anything about
him. I asked the girls if they
thought he was big enough yet to
be a story in People magazine. The
essence of their response: Was Jesus ready for the Vatican?
The proof was in the seeing and
hearing. When they found out my
connection to People magazine the
girls announced that they had an
extra ticket with them, which they
had been planning to sell outside
the gym. The ticket was mine — no
charge, just put in a word for Bruce
with the editors at People magazine.
I didn’t take up the girls’offer —
too much work to get done for the
next day. But in less than a year I
was playing a small role in a People
magazine story on the singer. My
freelance assignment in those predigital days: Obtain a copy of
Springsteen’s Freehold High
School yearbook so that People
could show him then, as opposed to
the rock star he had become.
Years later I did see Springsteen
in concert and I began to see what
the commotion was all about. The
[email protected]
sound and fury of a Springsteen
record are just a glimmer of what
you get live and in person. Movies
would not replace live drama, television wouldn’t replace movies,
and eight-track tapes wouldn’t replace a live Springsteen concert.
Other than being vaguely aware
of Springsteen I never did become
a die-hard fan. But a few days ago a
A new biography
shows how Bruce
Springsteen found
fame and fortune: It
wasn’t overnight and
it wasn’t luck, either.
hefty hardcover book landed on my
desk: “Bruce” was the title. It was
written by Peter Ames Carlin, himself a former People magazine
writer (but long after my time) who
since has written a series of music
star biographies — Brian Wilson of
the Beach Boys, Paul McCartney,
and now this nearly 500-page biography of “The Boss.”
And so, in a perfect example of
why Google and Wickipedia will
never totally replace an old fashioned book, I settled up to the
kitchen counter with the book nestled between three or four candles
and gave myself a pleasant diversion from the rumblings of Hurricane Sandy outside.
While Springsteen’s body of
lyrics may celebrate the common
man and also fuel that man’s hopes
for a better day, the reading of this
biography suggests that Bruce
himself was no commonplace Jersey shore lounge lizard. At various
critical junctures in his life, he —
even as a teenager and under-employed musician in his early 20s —
stood out head and shoulders above
his peers. In my Hurricane Sandy
candlelight, I began to take notes of
Bruce’s critical success factors:
Bruce was focused. A high
school teacher recalls him sitting in
a hallway working through his music (and skipping classes in the
process). “He was very intense.
Very focussed. He wasn’t interested in the school band, orchestra, or
anything else. He was interested in
his music and himself.”
Bruce was also disciplined. In

the late 1960s and early 1970s the
cops in Freehold and vicinity
equated the long hair and grungy
wardrobe of rockers like Springsteen with drugs. Good guess except Springsteen was the exception, according to this biography,
the guy who didn’t do drugs and
hardly drank, either.
Years into his fame, when he ran
into a few of his bandmates snorting cocaine, Springsteen threatened to fire them all. Thinking back
now, I’ll bet that at the very moment I was enjoying the cocktail
hour at the Hudibras, Springsteen
was sober as a judge, preparing for
the concert at Jadwin Gym.
Bruce had some common
sense about business. In early
1970, when Bruce and the other
members of a band called Steel
Mill were playing gigs for as little
as $5 per performer, the legendary
rock impresario Bill Graham offered Springsteen a $1,000 advance in return for the publishing
rights to Bruce’s songs. He turned
it down. And within a few months,
the band was pulling in $500 from
a single show.
Bruce also knew that his real
value was something other than
monetary. At one point in the early
‘70s he decided to distance himself
from the band. He recalls his
thought process in the new biography: “Okay, there’s a lot of guitar
players, a lot of pretty good bands
out there, a lot of musicians, but not
a lot of people with really their own
voice and story, and I had always
been working in parallel through
writing and other things, on this
voice. The solo voice. A guy, a story, some chords, some lyrics. And
that was going to have to be
enough.”
As he described his attraction to
his first professional manager,
Mike Appel: “He loved music. His
heart was in it, and everything else.
. . If business had to be a part of it,
then it had to be a part of it. But it
wasn’t a business. It was an idea
and an opportunity, and Mike understood that part of it very, very
well. And that was important to
me.”
Bruce had a keen sense of introspection. “You cannot figure
out who you are if you don’t understand where you came from, what
were the forces that work on your
life as a child, as a teenager, and as
a young man. What part do you
have to play? How do you empower yourself?”
On the Friday after Hurricane
Sandy struck, the lights came on
and I was back in business at home.
I put down the Springsteen biography to view the NBC-produced
fundraising telethon for the storm’s
many victims. I wasn’t surprised to
see Springsteen and his band there,
providing the rousing grand finale
to the moving event.
As the biography recounts, in
September of 2001 Springsteen
was horrified along with everyone
else when he viewed the destruction of the World Trade Center. As
the days passed Springsteen read
the portraits of the victims that began to appear in the New York
Times. He noted the people who
had been described as Bruce
Springsteen fans.
And then he did something that
no celebrity ever has to do: He personally called families of the deceased fans to express his condolences.
Another success factor learned
by Bruce at an early age: Have an
answer when the call goes out:
“What part do you have to play?”
Author Peter Ames Carlin will
discuss his Bruce Springsteen biography Tuesday, November 13, at
7 p.m. at the Princeton Public Library. Also appearing: Princeton
professor Sean Wilentz, author of
the 2010 book, “Bob Dylan in
America.”
