White vinegar is one of the cheapest and most versatile cleaners around. It does not streak, it is safe for hands and it is environmentally friendly. Here are a few great tips for using vinegar in the kitchen:

Eliminate cooking odors by using 1 tablespoon of white vinegar to 1 cup of water. Boil white vinegar in water to eliminate unappealing odors left over from cooking.

Eliminate odors in a smoke-filled room by placing a small bowl of white vinegar in the room.
Jars. Eliminate the odors of peanut butter, tomato sauce or mayonnaise from jars you want to keep by thoroughly rinsing them out with white vinegar.

Like any other facilities, public infrastructures are not spared from continuous damage brought by many factors such as weather and the natural elements, constant human and mechanical traffic, and natural aging. Gradual deterioration in the coating systems of these structures is a common problem, and when detected at the onset, can be addressed by a skilled painting company quickly and effectively.

Historic public structures such as libraries, museums and buildings on historic sites, in particular, have been in existence for a long time. These buildings commonly deteriorate due to aging, and are considered some of the most challenging structures to work on.

School bells ring. Out come the pernicious chemical agents, the sprays, the poisons going for the germs, bashing the bugsŠand assailing the students. As surely as the seasons change and school begins, the not-so-green attack method of pest cleanup has hit our youngest and frailest population.

Now, however, some advocates have begun to shun the Mr. Mean-but-Clean ways of battling germs or greening lawns, to enlist more biological methods to eliminate pests and protect students. Brandishing some of the strictest standards in the nation, Toxics Action Center lead Massachusetts to become the latest state (after California, New York and Michigan) — the most stringent — to pass legislation to clean up the poisons that fill the dwelling spaces of our most fragile population.

The state’s Children and Families Protection Act slated to go on the ballot in 200l attracted so many signers that the legislature (hardly the most progressive in the nation), passed the act for this year. Looking to integrated pest management rather than pesticides, the advocates at the center have carried out their mandate insisting that imagination, good housekeeping and, uniquely, a good community connection and follow-up system can do more than poisons.

Buckle your seatbelts: it’s going to be a wet ‘n’ wild ride. That’s the prediction — or, rather, the certainty — that today’s global warming carries. Erratic and unpredictable weather is en route, and coastal areas are among the places destined to be hardest hit. So why are Americans paying so little heed?

As scientists and weather pundits survey the winds of change destined to bounce our thermostats and pivot our climate, the political will of the nation seems becalmed. With change now the constant, it is high time and high tide to contemplate the fate of the half of our population who live on the nation’s coasts.

Recently, an EPA-funded study predicted that massive coastal flooding could radically alter the landscape of Boston, my home city, by the end of this century. The Hub, which prides itself on the “if-you-don’t-like-it-wait-a-minute” changeability of its weather, is not alone: the East Coast’s problem is America’s predicament, and the world’s. Alas, few U.S. residents have yet to seriously consider the message.

Civility, urbanity, grandeur without arrogance. If public architecture was civic art raised to the pinnacle of dignity, then the calling of the courthouse was to infuse that art with access and democracy. Judge, jury and suspect alike entered it. Everyday citizens passed by it. And, though set on a lofty eminence in the town or a commanding spot in the city, the courthouse knew how to soften its role as Temple of Justice to fit into the public realm.

A decade ago, all these messianic notions stood high on the list of the nation’s builders, the General Services Administration (GSA), when it undertook its most ambitious architecture project since the New Deal. The agency’s courthouse program sought to create a benign federal policy on the landscape. By enlisting well-regarded architects, by pledging to reinforce city centers, the GSA would erect some l60 courthouses with civic aims and architectural excellence.

This fall, Boston’s new $228-million federal courthouse, the most noted of the program’s initial offerings, opened along the waterfront in a city hospitable to both goals: urbanity and quality. Under the aegis of one Supreme Court Justice, Stephen G. Breyer, and one federal jurist, Judge Douglas P. Woodlock; taken from the drafting board of a prominent architect, Henry N. Cobb of Pei Cobb Freed & Partners, the waterfront building would embody the GSA’s architectural and public access values.
