SEIA is the solar energy industry's go-to source for the latest coverage on solar power, including U.S. and international policy, research and polls, business and financing trends, and more. Our staff strives to support the media covering solar energy issues and guide our members on effective media outreach with clear statements, background materials, news and multimedia resources.
SEIA is committed to informing policymakers, the media, and the American public about the benefits of solar energy for today's communities, our economy, and our country.
Learn more from our statements and industry news below.
Sun Peeks Through in Solar
The solar-power business is expanding quickly in the U.S., helping lift the cloud that has surrounded the industry since the demise of Solyndra LLC a year ago. But the growth isn't coming from U.S. solar-panel manufacturing, despite the money and rhetoric devoted to the industry by the Obama administration. Instead, it is in installations of largely foreign-made panels, whose falling price has made solar more competitive with other forms of power.
Solar panels going up on city buildings
A previously approved plan that will allow many city-owned facilities to be partly powered by the sun saw a new partner added to the contract Tuesday night.
US Army Advances Alternative Energy
The U.S. Army is currently in the experimental phase of an alternative energy program that could make the military a little less reliant on fossil fuels. Out of the laboratory and into the field, the Army's program SAGE includes innovative technologies, such as solar panels, and other measures that are gradually being introduced to various base camps to test their efficiency limits and personnel capacities.
Clean Energy Collective Awarded 6 Xcel Energy Solar Gardens
Clean Energy Collective (CEC) has been awarded six community-owned solar gardens as part of Xcel's Solar*Rewards Community program, totaling 2.5 MW of distributed power generation. Through the new program, Clean Energy Collective will construct and maintain solar arrays, known as solar gardens, in centralized locations across the state.
Hybrid Solar Panels Yield Electricity, Hot Water
Naked Energy, a British company, has made a name for itself by developing a tubular hybrid solar panel that can do twice the work of a traditional flat photovoltaic panel.
U.S. Department Of Energy Awarding $9 Million For Improvements To Solar Forecasting
As part of its SunShot Initiative, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has released a new funding solicitation focused on improving the accuracy of solar forecasting. The agency will give out up to $9 million over three years.
More Small Businesses Are Taking the Solar Plunge
Installing solar power at their Shelter Island, N.Y., Ace Hardware store seemed like the right thing to do for the planet, say owners David Gurney and Meredith Page. But now that the brother-and-sister ownership team have the system, they're finding that it's also good for their wallets.
Renewables Want Level Playing Field
Growth in renewables manufacturing is about to slow, and thousands of jobs will be lost, if Congress doesn't level the playing field between renewables and traditional fossil energy sources, renewables advocates told the National Hydropower Association conference April 18 in Washington DC.
Austin City Council to Form Solar Committee
Under pressure from solar-power advocates who fear Austin may short-circuit a budding local industry, the Austin City Council is rethinking the city's strategy for expanding solar power.

Fair Tax Plan would solve nation's economic problems
Dear Editor,
The unemployment report at 7.8 percent with 32 days left before the election gives a false impression. Not counted were those who have stopped looking for a job. Unemployment is closer to 14 percent with over 23 million Americans unemployed or underemployed.
More people are looking to the Fair Tax Plan to solve this nation's economic woes. It would:
• Give every worker their full paycheck.
• Permit businesses to compete in the world market without having to pay high taxes.
• Require all the current tax dodgers to pay their fair share.
Any doubters this would work need only think what would happen if everyone has their full paycheck to put back into the economy and if every business and individual did not have to pay federal income taxes or report anything to the IRS ever again.
For more information go to fairtax.org.

July 30, 2014
The drought that dried out much of Wisconsin this summer could dampen the colors of autumn's leaves.
But Wisconsin tourism officials are hoping a new ad campaign promoting fall tourism will keep visitors coming to state getaways.
Tourism Secretary Jim Holperin says the $500,000 television campaign in Chicago and Minneapolis is the first time the department has advertised fall travel on TV.
He says fall travel is growing more quickly than travel in other seasons.
But this year, the brilliant colors that appear just before the leaves fall could be a little dimmer.
The leaves change colors as the amount of daylight decreases. That usually happens as fall sets in and the days shorten.
But the drought could cause some starved leaves to drop off the trees before they change color.

A woman and a child suffered non-life-threatening injuries Friday night in a one vehicle accident on Swamp Pike in Limerick.
The driver, a Gilbertsville resident, was driving her minivan southeast on Swamp Pike when she ran off the road into the wet grass on one side, overcorrected, and crashed into the trees on the opposite side.
According to Limerick Township police officer Christopher Iochum, the driver was "possibly temporarily distracted by her daughter in the back seat."
The driver was "a little banged up," Iochum said, and was transported to Reading Hospital. The child was slightly injured but Iochum said she was fine.
Police blocked one lane of Swamp Pike until the van was extricated from the woods.

Heard at the Gym: Bad Advice
Much of the exercise advice you hear in locker rooms is sound, but some is bogus or downright dangerous
By Samantha Cassetty, M.S., R.D.
The Best Time to Exercise
Myth: Early morning is the best time to exercise.
Fact: "The best time to exercise is anytime you can do it," says Delia Hammock, M.S., R.D., and former Nutrition Director at the Good Housekeeping Research Institute. So whether you have more energy in the morning or at night, the important thing is that you motivate yourself to do it!
Working Your Abs
Myth: You should spend 30 minutes of your workout on your abs.
Fact: Done properly, a mere five-minute ab routine is enough to make muscles feel fatigued -- the goal of your workout, says exercise physiologist and American Council on Exercise spokesperson Richard Cotton. After that, switch to cardiovascular activities like walking, swimming, or biking. These activities work all the major muscles, melting fat and giving you an overall leaner appearance.
Eating Protein Bars & Shakes
Myth: It's smart to eat lots of protein bars and shakes, so you can build your muscles.
Fact: The only thing that increases muscle mass is exercise. For that, you need energy-providing carbohydrates, not extra protein, says Nancy Clark, R.D., of SportsMedicine Associates, in Brookline, Mass. A good diet for a recreational exerciser consists of 55 to 65 percent carbs and about 60 to 90 grams of protein a day.
Lifting Heavy Weights
Myth: Lifting heavy weights will overdevelop a woman's muscles.
Fact: Women don't have the hormones needed to develop masculine physiques, says ACE's Ken Alan. The heavier the weights, the stronger your muscles -- which means that you'll burn calories more efficiently.
Leaning Forward on a Stair Climber
Myth: Lean forward on the stair climber if you want a firm butt.
Fact: Do this, and you could strain your lower back. Instead, stand tall and rest your hands on the rails just enough to balance.
Popping a Metabolism-Boosting Pill
Myth: For extra energy, pop a metabolism-boosting pill.
Fact: Unregulated herbal supplements that contain ephedra, or Mau Huang, can cause dizziness and insomnia, increase your blood pressure and heart rate, and may be linked to strokes. If you're running on empty, get more sleep and eat regularly.
Drinking Super Oxygenated Water
Myth: Drink "super oxygenated" water and you'll increase the amount of oxygen in your blood and get more energy.
Fact: There is no evidence that this works, reports ACE. A recent study by this group found that this type of water had no measurable effect on subjects' heart rate, blood pressure, or blood lactate values. Any increased energy levels, the study concluded, is purely a placebo effect.
Burning Fat
Myth: Your body won't burn fat unless you exercise for more than 20 minutes.
Fact: You burn fat around the clock, whether you're exercising or not. For the biggest calorie burn, exercise as hard as you comfortably can (you should still be able to carry on a conversation) for as long as you can.
Drinking Water
Myth: Avoid drinking water when you exercise; you'll get cramps.
Fact: Water is essential for staying properly hydrated while you work out. "You need water before, during, and after you exercise," says Hammock. When you sweat a lot, your body loses even more water than normal. And in summer months, drinking water is essential, because you are at a higher risk for heat exhaustion.

This week's "My turn" column is by Beverly Soldan, Tina Burnham and Lesley Beers, who operate "Care Packages From Home."
We are "Care Packages From Home." We pack, wrap and ship care packages to our men and women in Iraq and Afghanistan.
No matter what we think about the war, our soldiers are over there defending us and they need our support and encouragement.
It has been nearly six years that our project has been active.
It all started when a friend of my daughter's was sending care packages to her brother in Iraq. Tina thought it was such a great idea, we started sending to him, also, and that was the beginning.
We started at my dining room table and have since moved to a larger building on my property. We received more names and addresses and donations of items started coming in as the word spread.
The Daily Star very generously started putting our information in the paper and the project continued to grow.
All of the items and all of the postage are donated.
We're often asked, "Are you still doing this?" and "What do you need?"
Our answer: As long as our troops are over there, we will continue. What we need is anything you use on a daily basis because their needs are the same.
The list published in The Daily Star is from the soldiers themselves. Some have a PX (military store), some do not, or it is very poorly supplied and always very expensive. Some live on outposts, forward operating bases (front lines) in tents with very few supplies, even taking showers using bottled water.
We have a few local businesses that donate on a monthly basis. We always need money for postage, which is very expensive. Sending priority mail usually takes about two weeks to arrive.

The Moore American
MOORE — 4th-and-1 play leads to loss to No. 1 Union
It came down to one play for Westmoore. A chance to upset No. 1 Tulsa Union on its on field and the visiting Jaguars needed to make one play to keep its opportunity alive.
Trailing by three points in the final minutes, the Jags marched all the way to the Union 25-yard line. On fourth down they needed just one yard to keep the driving moving toward a game-winning touchdown. But when Josh Morgan took the hand-off into the middle of the Redskins defense, he was stuffed behind the line of scrimmage.
"After that big run I had, I knew they were watching for me," Morgan said. "When I came in they had 10 guys in the box. I did my best to get it, but it didn't work out the way we wanted."
Perennial power Union scraped by Westmoore 17-14 in the first round of the Class 6A playoffs Friday night, but not without a fight from the Jaguars.
"We just didn't make enough plays," Westmoore coach Billy Langford said. "Union made enough plays to win. You get stopped on fourth-and-one. with about four minutes left in the game on about the 25. We had our opportunities, but couldn't quite come through on all of them."
Trailing 10-0 at the half, Westmoore's Jhames West put the Jags on the scoreboard with a one-yard run in the third quarter. Union answered in the third, but were shut down the rest of the way. West added a 12-yard run, followed by an Austin Dodd's second PAT in the fourth to close the gap 17-14.
"It was very tough," West said. "We felt l like we did everything in our hands to do what we needed to do to win the game. Just didn't happen for us. But the effort was there."
Westmoore got the exact type of game it wanted. Low scoring, hard hitting and physical. They also did the one thing it hadn't been able to do in previous games against elite competition. It had zero turnovers.
"When you play Jenks and Union and those guys, you want to keep their offensive units off the field as much as possible," Langford said. "We were fortunate this year to have the offensive line, runningbacks and quarterback to be able to do that and to control the clock and control the tempo. You get in a game like that it comes down to one or two possessions. It came down to one possession and one play and we just couldn't get a yard."
With the loss, Westmoore ended its season at 6-5. But the players were proud of how they represented themselves against the East side.
"We lost, but it was probably the best game we ever played," Morgan said. "We had a lot of trouble the past few games coming together as a team. We lost, but that is probably the best game seen by any team on this side of the state."

extendedPDF: Professional PDF controls for OpenOffice.org
In early versions of OpenOffice.org, exporting to PDF required setting up a printer driver and offered few options. PDF export is vastly improved since version 2.0, since it is built-in and offers some control over the degree of image compression, the initial view, and user interface. However, even these controls are basic. They are certainly far behind the desktop tools available for Adobe Acrobat in Windows and OS X. For this reason, extendedPDF is an essential tool for those who need fine-control over their PDF output from OpenOffice.org in GNU/Linux.
extendedPDF was originally written as a macro. More recently, it has been converted to an add-on, installable by downloading and unzipping the files from the 3BView web site, then using Tools > Package Manager to install it. The add-on depends on Ghostscript, which almost all distributions install by default, and a postscript printer driver. (You don't actually need the printer, just the driver, since you will be printing the PDF to file anyway) If you don't already have a postscript printer driver installed, you can add one via the the spadmin utility that comes with all GNU/Linux versions of OpenOffice.org. You'll also need a copy of Java installed and added to the OpenOffice.org configuration through Tools > Options > OpenOffice.org > Java. You can still create PDF files without Java, but the options are unavailable, which destroys the whole point of using extendedPDF in the first place. Details of these dependencies and how to set them up, if necessary, are given in the very thorough User's Guide that is part of the download. Many users, however, should find that extendedPDF works without the need for any tinkering.
Configuration settings
Once extendedPDF is installed, restart OpenOffice.org and it's available from a small floating window or from Tools > Add-ons > extendedPDF. You'll soon find that you can use it only on a previously saved file, which presumably is a failsafe in case of something unexpected happening while the file is being exported to PDF.
The first time you use extendedPDF, you may want to begin by checking the basic configuration. On the Configuration tab, you can set the paths to dependencies. Chances are, you won't want to change the paths to GhostScript or Java, but you may want to change the path to the PDF viewer, so that you can use the tool of your choice, or the printer name if you have set up a printer using spadmin.
Next, you can head over to the File Settings tab. There, if you don't want the PDF output in the same directory as the original OpenOffice.org file, you can set the output directory. You can also set the directory for the temporary files created during export, as well as choose to have existing files automatically over-written, and to preserve the temporary files. Since extendedPDF first converts files to postscript then to PDF, preserving the temporary files is a way of safeguarding yourself if something goes wrong, because postscript viewers are readily available for GNU/Linux, and the temporary files can still be used by another utility to produce a PDF file.
PDF production settings
The remaining tabs have settings that are more likely to vary with the individual files. The PDF Settings tab contains the basic settings for creating the PDF file. For some reason, the default settings include adding a colored box around all links, although the result is so ugly for documents with regular sized text that I suspect that most people will want to turn it off immediately. Other settings on the tab include setting the default view and quality, using -- unlike OpenOffice.org's default PDF export -- the same choices that Adobe Acrobat does. Another useful setting is the choice of PDF version to use; the lower the setting, the more likely it is to be readable on any machine. You can also set extendedPDF to rotate pages as necessary, so that landscape-oriented pages aren't cut off, and to open each new PDF immediately after creating it.
Other common settings are available on the Headings style. On this tab, you can set what levels of headings are converted into bookmarks in the PDF file, and add additional styles to convert to bookmarks. Only ten of OpenOffice.org's default styles are listed, and the only way to add styles that you created is to define them as an outline level using Tools > Outline Numbering, but, even with these limitations, extendedPDF is still far ahead of OpenOffice.org's default tools.
The final tab for extendedPDF is Security. All settings on this tab are disabled by default, no doubt because PDF security is extremely weak, even without specialized cracking tools like Elcom's. At best, PDF security slows casual users from using a file in ways that you would prefer that they didn't, and makes your preferences known. However, for those who want to make unauthorized editing, copying, or printing slightly more difficult, the Security tab provides a complete set of options, including a choice of 40 or 128 bit encryption.
Although extendedPDF is released under the GNU General Public License, free software users -- as opposed to open source users -- may find its reliance on a non-free language like Java objectionable. Unfortunately, so far as I know, no one has attempted a hack that would make extendedPDF work fully with GCJ, the way they have with other Java-based tools in OpenOffice.org. The fact that there seems no strong reason for writing the add-on in Java makes the choice especially frustrating.
The only other drawback to extendedPDF is the choice of marking the current tab by graying out its heading. Even after hours of using extendedPDF, this choice still has me constantly losing the current tab and making me think that one tab is unavailable.
To casual users, who just want some form -- any form -- of PDF writing from the desktop, extendedPDF may be overkill. If so, they can continue to rely on Tools > Export as PDF, which remains available after extendedPDF is installed. However, for webmasters, technical writers and anyone else who needs to control their PDF output, extendedPDF fills a niche on the GNU/Linux desktop that has been empty too long.

Good Article
What an informative and good article. I love this website. Keep up the good work.
This add in is great. I was sending my resume out on Craigs list and it bouced because the PDF that the default OOffice2.2 created was +200k big. I could print it as PS and do ps2pdf and get a 60K file. After a little searching I found this article and installed the program. It creates PDF files that are 55k big. This is great for me. YMMV.
This begs the question of what kind of bloat and other things are in the 140k that the default PDF creator uses.
why PDF Creator output so much larger ...
Parent asks why the output from PDF Creator is so much larger.
The answer is quite simple.
PDF Creater in effect captures the bits which would have
been printed, and stores them in the PDF as an image.
By generating the PDF file directly, the content can
instead be things like the text to be rendered, the
font to render it in, and the characteristics of that text.
This is generally far smaller then the approach of PDF
That being said, PDF creator is great in that ANYTHING
which could print output, can have its output diverted
into a PDF file. In some cases if you desire the
recipients to NOT be able to fiddle with the content,
the PDF creator approach can actually be a benefit.
We think this is an
We think this is an inspiring article.
I choose my very sexy lades
I choose my very sexy lades and make sure their the best, just like this article.
My English, teen girl
My English, teen girl friends and I, are usually too busy with our web cams, to read very interesting and informative reports like this. It's nice to chill out and catch up on today's technology.
A great article.
A great article.
Nice write up of extendedPDF.
You say that pdf security is easy to crack, is this also the case with 128 bit encryption ?
Open PDF files
Can I open PDF files in Open Office?
PDF Forms
Thanks for this introduction into extendedPDF.
Sadly this is not for me. I need to be able to create PDF forms which generate FDF output. It would be great if OpenOffice itself would have this already included.
Right now I have to add the form elements with Scribus. (Or Acrobat itself)
Re: extendedPDF: Professional PDF controls for OpenOffice.org
The coloured boxes have been a feature since extendedPDF was first released. Eliminating them is a simple option.
I am curious about the advantages of using this tool over what is available in the 2.0.4 development snapshots of OpenOffice.org. For example, you mention encryption which m180 does very nicely. See
Likewise for other security features. For example, http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/OOo2.x/no_copy.pdf which protects the document whilst allowing accessiblity features to be employed.
With 2.0.4 being released within the next few weeks what is the advantage?
... what is the advantage?
Some advantages I know and find important:
1. If you are on Linux:
2. On any OS: better first impression of pdf files you create. You can have pdf bookmarks expanded to the level you want (let's say only 1 or two levels). OOo expands all of them.
If you have ~20 chapters, with 10 subchapters each, ..., in your document, and get all 6 bookmark levels (~1000 bookmarks) expanded on opening, it's quite a mess to look at. Read the title: professional pdf controls...
There is one disadvantage, too:
In some cases, you cannot have correct active table of contents in pdf, if you make the TOC from unnumbered outline in OOo Writer.
It's documented in extendedPDF user's guide, but that doesn't help...
OOo export does it correctly.
So, there are two tools, each doesn't do the job 100%. But you may choose a better one for your particular task, and that's great.
Programmer's comments
Thanks for the writeup!
Regarding Java usage: extendedPDF only uses Java to apply security settings. If you want a Free alternative then it will also work with PDFTK. However, PDFTK is large and thus the Java alternative is included in the download.
We're open to suggestions on how to present the user interface. We'll see if we can come up with a better way to mark the current 'tab'.
Font embedding control will be implemented in due course.
If you have other requirements for your PDF creation please let us know.
Multi-document pdfs
Is there a way to create a large pdf from multiple oo.org documents?
If yes, do they all have to be Writer docs?
In addition to pdftk, there's a new library called PoDoFo that ships with a pdf merge tool. If you don't have any luck with pdftk you might want to try it out.
Gios PDF Splitter and Merger
Pdftk is very powerful but command line based. If you use Windows, you could also try "Gios PDF Splitter and Merger" from http://www.paologios.com/. That's perfect for the "simple" tasks like merging pdf documents together.
look for an app named
look for an app named pdftk...
it is command line driven, but very simple to use... you just concat various pdf files to create a big one. Not elegant, but may work for you.
font control?
This package doesn't seem to give the user any control over font embedding. Sometimes one wants all fonts embedded (to ensure reproducibility) and sometimes one does not want fonts embedded (to minimize the size of the PDF file). The ps2pdf utility of ghostscript can control font embedding but it's a pain to use.
font embedding needed
I could not install it with OO2. Changed install.sh to correct paths and then tried:

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell announced Wednesday that the Commonwealth and the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority have reached a settlement with Dennis Martire, the former MWAA Board Member who was was fighting his removal from the group for questionable spending.
"Today, the Commonwealth of Virginia, the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority and former board member Dennis Martire reached agreement on the terms of a settlement that put to an end the months of unnecessary and costly litigation between the parties regarding my decision to remove Martire for cause as a board member of the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority," McDonnell said in a statement.
"The full MWAA board considered and approved the terms of the confidential settlement."
McDonnell said Martire has resigned effective Oct. 17, and a replacement will be named after the October board meeting.
Martire, a Democratic appointee to the 13-member board, says his removal from the group that is charged with constructing Metrorail's Silver Line is politically motivated.
McDonnell (R) has argued that Martire damaged his credibility with questionable expenses, including spending nearly $9,200 to travel business class to Europe.
Martire, an official with the Laborers' International Union of North America, was appointed to the board by the previous governor, Tim Kaine (D).
Martire has clashed with McDonnell over several issues, including a labor-friendly provision as part of the Phase 2 of the Silver Line.
Meanwhile, it has been reported that fighting over the ouster cost MWAA more than $75,000.
"I am pleased that all parties agreed to immediately stop the litigation and pursue dismissal of Martire's lawsuit and MWAA's action, both with prejudice, McDonnell said. "We are happy to put this unnecessary and expensive distraction behind us and look forward to continuing to improve the accountability of the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority. "

The limits of a money-driven presidential campaign became a little clearer Thursday when Restore Our Future, the super PAC run by former aides to Mitt Romney, disclosed that it still had $1.2 million in the bank as of Jan. 1.
After a highly effective run in the primary season, the super PAC, which focused entirely on television advertising, bumped up against crowded airwaves. It also didn't get the discount rates afforded to candidates themselves.
Without the teams of canvassers and other on-the-ground tactics that Democrats and some Republican groups, such as Americans for Prosperity, the super PAC could do little but watch in the final days of the race, as President Obama won a clear victory.
And in the end, a group with one mission — to elect Mr. Romney Nov. 6 — found itself with significant amounts of money sitting unused as the date passed.

Same-Sex Married Couples to Receive Equal Tax Benefits
IRS and Treasury ruling recognizes same-sex marriages in all states for federal tax purposes.
The Treasury Department and IRS ruling assures tax benefits for all legally married same-sex couples regardless of their state of residence.
Same-sex couples who marry legally will be given the same federal tax benefits as traditional married couples, the U.S. Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service announced Thursday.
"Today's ruling provides certainty and clear, coherent tax filing guidance for all legally married same-sex couples nationwide. It provides access to benefits, responsibilities and protections under federal tax law that all Americans deserve,"said Treasury Secretary Jack Lew in a statement.
[READ: Pentagon Extends Benefits to Same-Sex Spouses of Troops]
The Treasury Department and IRS ruling assures tax benefits for all legally married same-sex couples in an effort to ensure their ability to move freely throughout the country without altering their federal filing status.
The administration said that same-sex married couples may begin filing their federal income tax return using either the "married filing jointly" or "married filing separately" filing status for the 2013 year.
They are entitled to amend previously filed income returns to reflect their marriage status. The statue of limitations for filing a refund claim is three years from the date the return was filed, two years from the date the tax was paid or whichever comes later. Refund claims can still be filed for 2010, 2011 and 2012. Some individuals may have special circumstances that allow them to file claims from 2009 and earlier.
The ruling implements the July Supreme Court decision that invalidated a key section of the 17 year old Defense of Marriage Act that denied federal tax benefits to married same-sex couples in a dozen states.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Resources issued a memo clarifying that all beneficiaries in private Medicare plans have access to equal coverage for their spouse's nursing home care.
Previously, same-sex couples on Medicare enrolled in an Advantage plan were not guaranteed equal access to nursing home care, forcing them to either receive care in a different nursing home than their spouse, or dropping out of the Medicare Advantage plan and paying out-of-pocket for care in the same home.
[PHOTOS: Gay Marriage Supporters Cheer Supreme Court Rulings]
"Today's announcement is the first of many steps that we will be taking over the coming months to clarify the effects of the Supreme Court's decision and to ensure that gay and lesbian married couples are treated equally under the law," said HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius in a statement.
Evan Wolfson, founder and president of marriage equality campaign organization Freedom to Marry, said in a statement he commended the administration's implementation of the Supreme Court's decision, but called for further action to extend tax benefits toward individuals in diverse relationship statuses.
"The fact that this new respect applies only to married couples – not those joined by domestic partnerships or civil unions – highlights the need for an America where everyone can marry the person they love in any state and have that marriage respected at all levels of government," he said.

Police: Minor injuries reported in Route 7 crashBy Brent Curtis
Staff Writer | February 18,2014
PITTSFORD - A head-on crash this afternoon destroyed a car and a tractor trailer on Route 7 north of the village but only minor injuries were reported, according to Vermont State Police.
The two-lane highway remains only partially open after the crash which took place at about 2:40 p.m. In driving snow and slick conditions, a 2007 Toyota Corolla driven by Wayne Holt, 74, of Brandon, and a 2001 Mack tractor trailer with a trailer full of marble rocks in tow collided about a mile north of the intersection with the Florence Truck Route.
Police say a witness saw Holt's car veer into the southbound lane forcing the tractor trailer to cut into the northbound lane in an attempt to avoid a head-on crash.
The Corolla and the tractor and trailer ended up off the road on either side of the highway. The tractor trailer rolled over completely with the back of the trailer blocking the entire northbound lane.

As of COB 31 Mar:
$1,206 in checks made out directly to the facility. $3,377 in the Christmas account. If this trend continues, I will probably end up clearing out the Christmas account twice a year (30 June and around 15 Dec) rather than only once at Christmas-time as I am now. I see no point in denying them the use of the funds until then every year.
Thank you very much for the support, looks like a good year.

Fresh seafood is coming in the door every day at Jimmy's Southside Tavern near the western end of the Noroton Heights Shopping Center, and inside there's a nautical feel, with portraits of fish on the walls, ropes around the pillars and rods and reels mounted by the windows.
But even with oysters on the menu and an oyster bar in the planning stages, Noroton Heights' newest restaurant is just as much a spot for traditional American comfort food.
"I've had people grab me and say, 'This is the best burger I ever had,'" Jimmy Love, the owner, says. And on their next visit they say they like the seafood more, he said.
Both fish and fowl—and more
Love himself thinks the fowl is more than fair: "We do a great half-roast chicken," he said on Tuesday evening, when the restaurant and bar hosted its own ribbon-cutting ceremony with the chamber of commerce and local officials.
"We got very lucky with a chef," Love said of Alastair Revell. "He's a British man who was in southern California for 20 years."
Revell was about to take a job with a new restaurant near Darien when the plans for that business fell through, then a mutual friend introduced him to Love.
Love said Revell has brought some very professional shrewdness into designing a menu that uses some of the same ingredients in several different dishes, wasting less food.
"I don't know that we could have been as successful without him," Love said.
The spot
Although the town allows 94 indoor seats at the restaurant—the former location of Phil's Grill—Jimmy's Southside now has 65 seats, he said, with 40 more available outdoors when the weather warms up and about 10 more available in a back corner when the oyster bar eventually gets started.
The new restaurant has a full liquor license, expanding the wine and beer that was served by Phil's Grill, and an expanded interior, moved out about four feet toward the outdoor dining area and Heights Road.
The restaurant's location is excellent, Love pointed out. "We're in a neighborhood kind of starved for a restaurant," he said.
Darien Doughnut and Heights Pizza serve customers who want a quick, less expensive meal, but for sit-down dining at a higher end of the comfort scale, patrons would have to go to downtown Darien or into Stamford (or to the edge of town, where the Water's Edge by Giovanni's is located).
Love is the former owner of Jimmy's Seaside in the Cove section of Stamford, Five Mile River Grill in Rowayton and the Boathouse Restaurant & Bar.
After extensive work on the building, inside and out, Jimmy's Southside Tavern opened Oct. 2 for dinner and eventually expanded to offering lunch, as well.
"We've been going strong ever since," Love said.

Seduction, Anarchy, and Satire: The Works of Lina Wertmüller Come Home with New Kino Classics ReleasesDisc Spotlight By Landon Palmer on June 20, 2012 | Be the First To Comment
Italian auteur Lina Wertmüller is in a category all her own. After working as an assistant director for Federico Fellini on 8½, Wertmüller began a directing career that established her as a confrontational, no-holds-barred artist. Her films often mixed sex and violence, as well as humor and dark themes, to disturbing, challenging, and mesmerizing effects. She didn't do this in the name of exploitation, or to deliberately discomfit her audience, but to illustrate how comedy and tragedy in life are often inseparable, and the all-too-comfortable categories that distinguish them in film genres are far too convenient to reflect this reality. Wertmüller's best-known works are the international hit Swept Away (1974, but unfortunately better known today for the failed Guy Ritchie/Madonna remake) and the astounding Seven Beauties (1975), a film about a fascist-sympathetic Don Juan who spends time in a German concentration camp and attempts to seduce the camp's imposing female officer-in-charge in order to gain food and, perhaps, freedom. Seven Beauties gave Wertmüller the distinction of being the first-ever woman nominated for the Best Director Oscar. It also provided a nomination for its star, Giancarlo Giannini (perhaps best-known today for his supporting roles in Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace), who starred in many of Wertmüller's films as her bumbling, promiscuous muse. Now, three previously unavailable films by Wertmüller, The Seduction of Mimi (1972), Love & Anarchy (1973), and All Screwed Up (1974), have been made available in a DVD box set and separate Blu-Ray releases from Kino Classics. These […]

Corsicana Daily Sun
Corsicana —
Sandra Martinez knows all the hard work has paid off.
The Tigers' runner will represent Corsicana in the Region II-4A Cross Country Meet on Saturday, one of several Golden Circle area athletes who will run in meets in Arlington and Humble.
Martinez said Friday before a practice run that she can't wait for Saturday morning.
"This has been one of my greatest accomplishments and I couldn't have done it without Coach (Bobby) August who has always pushed me and believed in me more than i believed in myself," Martinez said. "He's a great inspiring man who does good things for his kids and makes an impact in everybody's life. Cross country is a great sport and running helps me when im stressed out and it has made me gain plenty of confidence and has helped me become a better leader as I prepare for soccer season."
The Tigers will send three runners to regionals. Joining Martinez at Vandergriff Park in Arlington are senior Dustin Welch and sophomore Erik Gonzalez.
The Blooming Grove boys are considered to have the best chance to make it out of regionals as a team for the state week next Saturday. The Lions' toughest competition will be from Salado, Bruceville-Eddy, New Diana and Cameron Yoe.
"We'll be somewhere between third and fifth," Hawkins said. "There will be two teams going home unhappy. I just want us to focus on the good things that happen for us."
Hunter Hawkins, Skyler Hawkins, Tyler Baumgartner and Daniel Pelzel finished in the Top 4 in the District 23-2A meet for Blooming Grove and will lead the Lions into regionals.
Pressley Atkeisson and Jesse Devries, who were 1-2 in district, are the Lady Lions' top threats to make it to state.
The Rice boys and Mildred girls also qualified teams for regionals after finishing in the Top 3 in district.

CNHI News Service
STILLWATER – Phil Forte is quickly becoming a spark plug for the Oklahoma State men's basketball team.
With the Cowboys on their heels early against West Virginia Saturday at Gallagher-Iba Arena, the freshman guard from Flower Mound, Texas, came in and knocked down a big 3-pointer – and continued to do so – to spark a surge that led to an 80-66 win over the Mountaineers.
"I have the easy part, all I have to do is step in and shoot it," Forte said. "We have teammates and coaches that believe in me and want me to shoot the ball as much as possible, and that makes it easier to go out there with confidence and shoot the ball, and that's my role on the team. They do a great job of trying to find me, put me in motion and in a position to be successful."
At the time of Forte's first 3-pointer Oklahoma State was trailing by 13 with five minutes left in the first half. By the break, Forte would hit two more and give the Cowboys a 30-27 halftime advantage.
"We just had to settle our guys down and withstand the pressure they were putting on us," OSU junior Markel Brown said. "We started attacking and getting the ball to the rim, kicking shots out to Phil in the corner helped us get back in the game."
Forte would finish with a career-high 26 points – going 6 for 11 (54.5 percent) from 3-point range to tie career highs in both shots made and attempted from behind the arc. He also contributed with 4 assists.
Brown also got in on the perimeter shooting, going 4 for 6 (66.7 percent) from behind the arc to score and 8 for 13 from the field to score a season-high 24 points. Brown also led the Cowboys with a game-high 5 assists.
"I got Phil open for some shots and he got me some assists, and I returned the favor. We took a lot of good shots and they were falling," Brown said.
Despite West Virginia having taller, heavier guys in the post, Oklahoma State held the rebound advantage over the Mountaineers, 34-28, with Philip Jurick hauling in a game-high 12 rebounds to go with 8 points – which was a career high for the senior transfer.
"He was a terrific. His rebounding was great and the 8 points is great, but it's just a bonus for us," OSU coach Travis Ford said of Jurick. "It's great when we can get 8 points from him, but I really loved the rebounds he was getting early in the game – especially above the rim. He brought us a big presence inside."

The money factor seems to be a big problem for the owners so I'm sure things will change more. This change will likely mean a similiar or worse 2010 season. Maddon is insane so that factor lowers my hope further. 2008 team and line-up were tweaked too much, and adding Pat instead of a closer has doomed another playoff run. Little hope for them from me, but I'll keep watching.
You have non-baseball guys making baseball decisions (not only that but who cares about Ivy League sports in general) and you have "Mr. Maddon-son's Neighborhood" in the dugout…"That's okay if you didn't run for that ball BJ–now here's your milk and cookies and try harder the next time, OK?"
Maddon's style is good for a young team but not for a team that has veterans. He's got to put the hammer down sometimes. Too bad you got rid of the one coach who would do just that—Bill Evers (the winningest coach in franchise history! I guess he wasn't warm and fuzzy enough.
How do you know that Maddon doesn't come down hard on players in private? Everyone assumes that just because Maddon doesn't attack his players in the press that he is easy on them in private. We really have no evidence of that.
And most teams have "non-baseball guys" in management positions. After a few years of running a team they become baseball guys.
I have confidence in Maddon, and confidence in the front office with the caveat that they are not going to spend a whole lot of money.
The PLAYERS confidence was built up in 2008 by winning….How confident can they be after their showing in 2009 ….and their chances of beating the Yankees/Red Sox???
Does Maddons good ole boy/everythings ok mentality build confidence… or do players begin to question that BS after awhile? 2010 will tell!
I'm less confident about papa Joe than the others but still above 8 for the other two (also in an attempt to hit submit I hit 1 on the new 3-4yrs poll so you can take that result out if it's the only one).

To the editor:
While I don't often agree with Joe Weis, I have to agree with his letter in the January 27 issue of the Herald-Banner. I also feel that both Obama's State of the Union coverage and that of the pony incident are closely related and both should have been on page 7. And both should have been cross-referenced to one-another.

For the 49ers, the future is now — for now, at least.
An hour from now, though, that could all change, with head coach Jim Harbaugh opting to go back to what appeared to have been working quite well for the Niners under center most of the past two seasons.
The future is represented by second-year pro Colin Kaepernick, whose stunning coming-out party in his first pro start on a national stage against the Bears last Monday night set the stage for arguably pro football's most intriguing story line at the season's three-quarters pole.
After leading the Niners' offense to scores in its first four possessions, throwing one beautiful pass after another and playing pristine, mistake-free football in a 32-7 rout against one of the league's most highly regarded defenses, Kaepernick was named the team's starting QB for a second consecutive week against the Saints Sunday. He kept up the good work in the Superdome, registering a 90.6 passer rating while both throwing and running for a TD in a 31-21 victory.
But, as was the case leading up to the Bears game, Harbaugh went right down to the wire before making a final decision between Kaepernick and Alex Smith, whose concussion suffered in the Week 10 tie against the Rams led to his benching, despite a 20-5-1 record in his last 26 starts, a league-leading 70 percent completion percentage in 2012, a 104.1 passer rating and 25 completions in his last 27 passes.
Starting the Wednesday before the Saints game, different rumors began totally confusing the issue. Shortly after Sports Illustrated reported that Kaepernick would start, ESPN's Trent Dilfer was reportedly told by Smith, his old teammate, that Kaepernick would be getting first-team snaps, but that Smith could still start based on his performance in practice.
Then Harbaugh jacked up the intrigue by actually saying a "Kaepernick or Smith" debate could become a weekly occurrence moving forward, depending on which one is playing better at the time.
"It's a unique situation to have two really good players," Harbaugh said. "Could we (go week to week)? Yes, we could."
On Friday, after Donte Whitner told the "Dan Patrick Show" that the Niners' players were under the impression Kaepernick would start vs. the Saints, Harbaugh refused to confirm his starting strong safety's declaration.
"It's just not something we think is an advantage for us to talk about," Harbaugh said. "And you may have your opinions on it. It's unorthodox. So be it. You can call me names if you want, or make sport of me. But, that's the way we're going to go about it."
In other words, as improbable as it might seem, the "Kaepersmith" mystery appears to have only just begun.
"It looks like Kaepernick is the guy for now, with the consensus being that the Niners are probably choosing to play it safe with Smith and give him another week to heal," one veteran team insider told PFW. "But there's so much contradictory information, it's unbelievable!
"With Harbaugh, no one knows. There's no way you can predict what he'll do. I could see them jumping from quarterback to quarterback within every game."
Both Smith and Niners offensive coordinator Greg Roman went on record in agreement with Harbaugh that having two quarterbacks with "hot hands" was a good problem to have.
Not surprisingly, though, there are more than a few daily "Kaepersmith" followers who believe Harbaugh is playing with fire.
"It is not a good problem to have at all," the insider said. "They both need starter's practice time. I know Alex does. Kaepernick, who came from a gimmick offense (University of Nevada), he needs, it, too."
On NFL Network's "NFL Access" show Sunday morning, likely future Hall of Fame QB Kurt Warner emphatically supported Smith.
"He doesn't turn the ball over," Warner said. "Week 12 of the season is not the time to be playing someone based on potential. I think (starting Kaepernick) is a mistake."
Sources on the scene agree that few, if any, close observers actually saw the "problem" of choosing between Kaepernick and Smith coming.
"To be frank, I think he (Kaepernick) really surprised them (against the Bears)," the insider said. "Most of the time in the offseason, he was pretty bad. It was clear Smith was the best QB in training camp. It wasn't even close. I don't know if (Kaepernick) is just a real gamer, or if he actually has made some great strides this season, which is possible.
"He is just so athletic!"
With an absolute cannon for an arm (as a pitcher in high school, Kaepernick was throwing 94 mph fastballs), he provides the 49ers' offense with a much greater vertical dimension, as evidenced by his six completions of at least 20 yards against the Bears.
"That's where the rubber meets the road," the insider said. "You know, the team set itself up to be able to go deep more, going out and getting (Randy) Moss and (Mario) Manningham, and with (TE Vernon) Davis already there. But Smith is uncomfortable throwing deep."
Just how impressed are the Niners' players with Kaepernick's high-octane skill set?
"Well, you know they're impressed when they said what he was doing was, 'Tom Brady-like,' " the insider said. "I was told a long time ago that players will drop you in a hurry if another guy comes along with something special to offer, and that could be happening here."
A veteran NFL talent evaluator told PFW that Kaepernick can make throws Smith would never think of even trying.
"He has that type of arm strength," the evaluator said. "Kaepernick allows the Niners to go vertical and run the offense Jim Harbaugh would like to run."
However, Kaepernick is hardly without flaws.
"He has a really elongated delivery, which could become problematic," the insider said. "He also runs so high, real upright, and that could get him creamed. He's a high-risk, high-reward guy, I'd say, and so far there's only been high reward.
"But I personally don't trust him."
What most sources on the scene most definitely believe, though, is that Kaepernick has become more likely to be entrusted with the permanent starting QB job next season, with the Niners opting not to pay Smith the $8 million in bonus money that Fox's Jay Glazer reported the quarterback is scheduled to receive two weeks after the season, thus allowing Smith to hit the free-agent market.
"The way you have to look at Kaepernick, like any other young quarterback that is playing, the disadvantage he has is that hasn't got the same amount of reps as (passers) in last year's class," one pro personnel director said. "He has a strong arm, he is mobile — he just needs to play. He can make all the plays Alex does — all he needs is more time on the job."
As for Smith possibly landing on his feet with another team, the verdict remains out.
"There was not a big market for Smith last year," the talent evaluator said. "No one was willing to pay him more than San Francisco and it was clear they were looking for more (at the QB position) with their Peyton Manning pursuit. Someone will offer Smith a starting job — there is too much of a need around the league. Will anyone prepare him in the way that Harbaugh did or get as much out of him? No.
"I wouldn't rule out Smith sticking in San Francisco and accepting his (backup) role, but he'll have the opportunity to go somewhere else and start. He's better than (Bills starting QB) Ryan Fitzpatrick, and look how he is getting paid. Someone will be overpaying for (Smith's) services if they give him more than average starter money — that's all he is and he was not even that before Harbaugh arrived. Look at it this way — if he's starting for you, you know you still need to replace him. He's not an ideal solution."
Neither, our sources agree, is the potential for locker-room friction as the Kaepernick-Smith saga continues to unfold.
"In this case, I don't think there will be problems," the insider said. "They (Smith and Kaepernick) really seem to get along and like each other. And they seem very determined to not let this ruin the team. It's completely different from the situation a few years back with (Joe) Montana and (Steve) Young, who just hated each other.
"These guys both seem sincere."

The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors could require county employees to enroll in stop-smoking classes, but requiring them to actually go cold turkey is against the law, according a recent memo from the County Attorney.
Prior to the Board's Personnel Committee meeting today, County Attorney David Bobzien informed Supervisors in a Dec. 7 memo that they could not legally require workers to "pass" any such course that would discourage tobacco use.
Supervisor Gerry Hyland (D-Mount Vernon) brought the issue up before the Board in October and requested last week that county staff look into the legality of smoking restrictions on employees and county property.
"The County may require its employees to participate in smoking cessation courses just as it may require its employees to take training on other topics that may advance job skills or the health and well-being of those employees who participate," Bobzien wrote. But he also stressed that Virginia law "does not permit the County to require employees discontinue smoking after such training."
Aside from required stop-smoking courses, Hyland asked if an applicant's smoking habit could be considered during hiring, if it could be a condition of employment, if smoking on county property could be banned altogether, and if the county could regulate general "risky behavior."
But the news for Hyland's cause isn't good. According to Bobzien's memo, the answer to the questions above is "no."
Virginia law prohibits the County from weighing smoking in employment decisions, Bobzien wrote.
In 2009, the Board succeeded in banning smoking under bus shelters, but extending that ban to parks and school areas would require the state to sign off as well.
Bobzien also noted that county employees are free to participate in risky behavior, including "individual diet choices and participation in active sports."
Board Chairman Sharon Bulova has made it clear that she won't stand for required training of county employees.
"I would object to any kind of forced or required training to get people to stop smoking," Bulova said in a statement. "Smoking is a very unhealthy habit, but it is also an addiction that is hard to kick. A person must be ready and willing to change their behavior and can't be forced into it."

HOUSTON -- A Houston-area man who worked as a post-traumatic stress counselor for veterans has been sentenced to 30 days in prison for lying about his war medals.
A federal judge in Houston on Monday sentenced 41-year-old Paul A. Schroeder of Shenandoah for altering a military or naval discharge certificate.
Schroeder in February resigned from the PTSD Foundation of America amid questions about his war record.
Schroeder presented himself as a former Special Forces sergeant with two Purple Hearts, three Bronze Stars and two Meritorious Service Medals. He claimed to have served in Iraq, Afghanistan, Africa and Central and South America.
Military personnel records at Fort Knox, Ky., do not indicate that Schroeder deployed overseas or earned the honors. He was a military police officer at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio.
