Smart meters can help customers keep track of their energy use, and these meters can also potentially help them save money on their electricity bills by taking part in time-of-use programs. Another benefit of these devices is that they eliminate carbon emissions resulting from utility employees traveling to location for taking readings because the devices communicate via a wireless network.

But, despite these benefits, advanced meter deployment has not been smooth sailing for all utilities in the US. Questions about the health effects of the radiation emitted by the meters, security issues, and the effectiveness of the meters have caused a customer backlash against the devices. Some customers also say that the new meters have increased their bill.

Maine residents, for instance, expressed their concerns about health effect of the meters and requested their councils to postpone Central Maine Power's installation of the meters until health concerns are cleared. CMP responded to the customer backlash by allowing residents to opt out of the meters until the Public Utilities Commission reviews southern Maine residents' objections.

Pacific Gas & Electric Co. has been in the middle of the smart meter controversy. Its SmartMeter program has received much criticism. Customers have expressed suspicion over billing, saying that their bills have risen after the meters were installed. However, the Public Utilities Commission searched and did not find any widespread flaws in the devices.

In a very recent incident, two women were arrested in West Marin after they tried to stop trucks carrying PG&E's smart meters for installation in Inverness. A group of 20 people blocked the way of the trucks. One of the arrested women was Katharina Sandizell, West Marin Citizens Against Wireless Smart Meters' co-director. According to her, the meters emit radiation in pulses that are much higher than mobile phone radiation, and the Federal Commission has called the "time-averaged" radiation level as safe.

Security of the customer's personal information is also an issue. Information collected by smart meters can also be used to make personal energy consumption profiles of users. A hack of the utility's information storage system can result in this information going in the wrong hands.

The Lost Honour of Katharina Blum $31.19 "The Lost Honour of Katharina Blum," Or: How Violence Develops and Where It Can Lead was written by Heinrich Boll, one of Germany's most prolific postwar writers. Although Boll insisted that his characters were compositions and not psychological creations, they do have psychological reality. In this novel he tells the story of pretty, bright, young Katharina Blum, who becomes the center of intrigue with a big city newspaper when at a carnival party she falls in love with a young radical lawbreaker on the run from the police.

The Vanishing of Katharina Linden $11.99 BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Helen Grant's The Glass Demon. After Pia’s grandmother dies in a freak accident, the neighbors in her little German hometown of Bad Münstereifel glance at Pia with wary eyes. But then something else captures the community’s attention: the vanishing of Katharina Linden. Katharina was last seen at a parade, dressed as Snow White. Then, like a character in a Grimm’s fairy tale, she disappeared. Ten-year-old Pia and her only friend, the unpopular StinkStefan, suspect that Katharina has been spirited away by the supernatural. Their investigation is inspired by such local legends as that of Unshockable Hans, visited by witches in the form of cats, or of the knight whose son is doomed to hunt forever. Then another girl vanishes, and Pia is plunged into a new and unnerving place, one far away from fairy tales—and perilously close to adulthood.

The Lost Honor of Katharina Blum - $24.99 The Lost Honor of Katharina Blum marks the directorial debut for actress Margarethe von Trotta, who co-directed the film with her then-husband Volker Schl?ndorff. At a costume party, Katharina Blum (Angela Winkler) meets Ludwig Goetten (J?rgen Prochnow ) and spends the night with him. The next morning, he's gone and the police bust into her apartment looking for him with the belief that he is a dangerous terrorist. She is taken into police custody and interrogated by Kommissar Beizmenne (Mario Adorf), who questions her about her every action. Meanwhile, sleazy reporter Werner Toetges (Dieter Laser) makes her story into a scandal in the papers by writing sensational stories about her personal life and portraying her as a criminal in photos. He exaggerates the testimonies of her ex-husband, neighbors, and even her elderly mother who is dying of cancer in an intensive care hospital. With the fear-induced public thinking she is a Communist and terrorist sympathizer, Katharina receives hate mail and personal threats until she is finally driven over the edge. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, Rovi

The Lost Honor of Katharina Blum (Paperback) $22.4 Nobel laureate Heinrich Boll`s THE LOST HONOR KATHARINA BLUM (1974) is a stinging indictment of the tabloid press, sensationalistic journalism, and society`s distorted sense of reality. Katharina Blum is a simple, hard-working housekeeper who briefly becomes sexually involved with a small-time bank robber. An unscrupulous tabloid journalist, Totges, takes advantage of this wisp of a story--along with Germany`s widespread unease over the Red Army Faction radical terrorist group--to create a series of inflammatory articles that destroy Katharina`s reputation. Finally, pushed to the breaking point, Katharina finds herself lashing out at her devilish persecutors. Boll`s book was one of the first to deeply examine the power and abuses at work in the mass media--an issue as relevant today as it was in the 1970s.
