SEIA Urges 'Collaborative Approach' to Solving Nation's Problems
WASHINGTON, D.C. – With widespread voter dissatisfaction evident in Tuesday's national and state elections, Rhone Resch, president and CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), today urged Republicans, Democrats and independents to take a more "collaborative approach" to solving many of the nation's pressing problems:
Honda Extends Deal With SolarCity By $50 Million
Honda began its cooperation with SolarCity in early 2013 by signing a deal worth $65 million for solar power installations at dealerships and in customers houses.
Now, both companies extend this agreement by another $50 million. The goal is to lower electricity costs below utilities, while at the same time having a zero emission source.
Nonprofit Brings Solar to Low-income Homes in Valley
GRID — which is based in Oakland and has an office in Riverside — has been active in the Coachella Valley, with nearly 250 installations over the last three years. Friday's installation was just its second in Palm Springs, and the first to involve local trainees.
Lordstown Solar Installation Project Largest in Western Hemisphere for GM
In addition to being home to the Chevrolet Cruze, GM's best-selling car, the largest GM plant in the U.S. and the most productive in North America, Lordstown also will be the GM plant with the largest solar installation project in the Western Hemisphere, GM announced Tuesday. Solar FlexRack, a division of Northern States Metals of Youngstown, will provide the racks to hold the solar panels.
New Jersey #2 in U.S. in Schools Going Solar
WASHINGTON, DC - Even though it falls outside the Top 10 states in the U.S. in terms of population, New Jersey ranks a strong second in the nation in the number of K-12 schools which have turned to solar energy to power their classrooms, save money and help the environment, according to a newly-released nationwide study.
Illinois Ranks Third in U.S. in Schools Going Solar
With a growing commitment to renewable energy, Illinois now ranks third in the nation in the number of K-12 schools that have turned to solar energy to power their classrooms, save money and help the environment, according to a newly released nationwide study.
New Report Shows America's Schools Saving Money by Going Solar
WASHINGTON, DC – In a report card deserving of the honor roll, a comprehensive, first-of-its-kind new study released today says America's K-12 schools have shown explosive growth in their use of solar energy over the last decade, soaring from 303 kilowatts (kW) of installed capacity to 457,000 kW, while reducing carbon emissions by 442,799 metric tons annually – the equivalent of saving 50 million gallons of gasoline a year or taking nearly 100,000 cars off U.S. highways.
SEIA, Vote Solar Point to Solar's Continued Price Declines
The average cost of going solar in the United States continued its rapid decline in 2013 and the first half of 2014, according to a new study from the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Two leading solar advocacy groups, the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) and Vote Solar, applaud the report findings as the latest indicator that affordable solar energy is ready to power our new energy economy.
SEIA Urges Swift Action on Ex-Im Reauthorization
Rhone Resch, president and CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), urged Congress to expedite legislation which would provide long-term reauthorization for the U.S. Export-Import Bank (Ex-Im).
Verengo Reaches 75-MW Residential Solar Milestone
SEIA member Verengo Inc., one of the nation's leading residential solar specialists, today announced it has reached the 75 MW (megawatt) milestone with its 13,000th residential rooftop installation. Verengo, honored last month by Inc. magazine on their 500|5000 List as one of the fastest-growing private companies in the U.S., also announced an expansion plan focusing on key strategic markets on the east and west coasts.
Enphase Energy Donates Micro-Inverters To School Solar Installations
Enphase Energy Inc. has partnered with the Brian D. Robertson Memorial Solar Schools Fund (BDR Fund) to install solar photovoltaic systems in at least 25 K-12 schools across the U.S.
The donations will contribute to the fund's goal of installing 20,000 solar PV systems to U.S. schools by the year 2020. Named after the late U.S. solar sector pioneer Brian Robertson, the BDR Fund is a project of The Solar Foundation.
SEIA Member Aquatherm Industries, Inc. Celebrates 25 Years of Solar Pool Heater Manufacturing
New Jersey-based solar pool heater manufacturer Aquatherm Industries, Inc. officially celebrated its 25th year in the solar thermal industry. Founded in 1989, the company has grown to be the largest manufacturer of swimming pool solar heaters in the U.S., thanks in large to a loyal dealer/distributor network that spans the globe.
SolarCity Is Opening a Baltimore County Operations Center
Solar energy company SolarCity Corp. is planning to add a Baltimore-area location by the end of the year. SolarCity (NASDAQ: SCTY) announced the area location as part of an effort to open 20 new operations centers in seven states. The wave includes one other planned Maryland location, in Clarksburg.
Canadian Solar, Sichuan Plan $810 Million Solar Fund
Canadian Solar Inc. (CSIQ), the third-best performing solar panel maker in the past year, and the investment arm of China's Sichuan province will create a 5 billion yuan ($810 million) fund to build solar projects. Sichuan Development Holding Co., Canadian Solar and third party investors will raise the funding, Guelph, Ontario-based Canadian Solar said today in a statement.
August 14, 2003, was a dark day in U.S. history – in a lot of different ways.
It started off as a quiet Thursday. Then a single tree limb in Ohio came crashing down, touching off a power outage which cascaded across eight states and parts of Canada, leaving 50 million Americans in the Northeast in the dark. Commuters were stranded. Businesses closed. People sweltered in the heat. And the U.S. economy took a huge beating, losing an estimated $10 billion.
I'm looking forward to speaking at Senator Reid's National Clean Energy Summit next week in Las Vegas. I'll be on the "21st Century Energy Market" panel where we'll address what can be done to make the grid friendlier to renewables while ensuring long-term access to affordable and reliable electricity.
For the first time in decades, Congress appears serious about tackling the issue of comprehensive tax reform. But for the solar industry, there's a real risk is that some members of Congress will try to eliminate all renewable energy tax credits in order to reduce corporate tax rates--and that could roll back the tremendous progress solar has made in recent years.
This week, the Solar Energy Industries Association joined other renewable energy advocates, businesses, and environmental groups to urge the Colorado Public Utilities Commission to reject a new proposal from Xcel Energy that would discourage net-metered solar energy growth in its territory.
Following months of behind-the-scenes maneuvering, it appears the Senate will begin debate soon on critically important legislation which could help American consumers, businesses and the federal government to save hundreds of millions of dollars each year by using less energy. And using less energy gives us a big leg up in the fight against climate change.
Like thick smog hanging stubbornly overhead, many of the arguments against President Obama's climate change policy are stagnant, potentially dangerous and pose a serious, long-term threat to America's future.
The U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) is historically one of the greatest catalysts of technological innovation. Through its procurement power alone it has the ability to transform markets.
Someone once said: "Your vocation in life is where your greatest joy meets the world's greatest need." Without question, the pilots of Solar Impulse, Dr. Bertrand Piccard and Andre Borschberg, are living proof of that. These two great adventurers made solar and aviation history last weekend when Solar Impulse touched down at New York's JFK Airport.
As we celebrate the 4th of July holiday, Americans everywhere will take a moment to remember the men and women who have made freedom possible.
From an environmental perspective, few things in the future threaten our freedom more than climate change. Leaving a world void of hope and bankrupt of resources would be as oppressive as any tyranny.
Today, I testified before the House Subcommittee on Commerce, Manufacturing & Trade on behalf of the American workers and businesses in the U.S. solar industry about India's restrictive and unfair trade practices.

This page contains Doom 3 Hints for Xbox called "Defeating Sarge" and has been posted or updated on Jan 29, 2009 by Sparkle Lover. Let us know what you think of this Hint by thumbs voting.
- Developer: Vicarious Visions
- Publisher: Activision
- Genre: Action Shooter First-Person
- Release Date: Apr 3, 2005
- ESRB: Mature
Defeating Sarge
Be prepared to die a few times. Beware of the edge of the room, as you can fall off. Also, do not hide behind the pillars for too long. They will open up and arc electricity periodically. When you walk into the room, a giant bay door at the opposite end of the room will open, revealing the "new and improved" Sarge. As soon as that door opens a crack, start lobbing rockets in there. After you score about six good hits without being splattered by his BFG, break out the Soul Cube (that you should have charged before entering the room) and let him have it. It should kill him and heal you. Pick up the armor and ammunition around the room before continuing.

While living in the Midwest, hundreds of miles from where she began, Hillary Mills said she learned about Tempe's Quest High School.
"I was working three jobs as a single mom and didn't get to see my daughter much," the 21-year-old recalls. "When we came here, my plane landed and the next day I was in school."
Mills, mom to a soon-to-be 4-year-old, had previously lived in the East Valley, but dropped out of high school in 2006. She was drawn back by the Tempe charter school's child-care facilities and a hope for a high school diploma.
But the school also offers more.
Last year, Quest (formerly known as Tempe Accelerated) began several programs that allow students to get a diploma plus a career certificate or the training to take career testing in several areas, from medical assisting to pharmacy tech to child care development.
That's the program Viviana Martinez, 17, loves the most. It's also the one that keeps her in school, she said.
"I love going to that class. It was really fun. It made me want to go to school," Martinez, a Mesa resident, said. "I had classes in here and I loved working with the kids and babies."
Martinez was going to graduate this fall, but because she wants to finish the child development program, she will finish in May 2013.
"I hope to go to college to become a counselor," she said.
Most of the students tend to be older at Quest, said Beverly Cook, the school's leader. During the pilot year of the career program, the 2011-12 school year, about 25 students participated. There are about 200 students at the school.
"The new students coming in that I'm interviewing are excited about this program," she said.
The school has partnered with Tempe St. Luke's to get students hands-on training for medical assisting, she said. Child development students work in the school's daycare, an office adjacent to the school in a Tempe strip mall.
Three students are taking the pharmacy technician national exam this year, Cook said.
"We're eager to see what the results of the test will be," she said.
One student already has passed the national certification test for Internet web master.
Quest High School is a member of the Leona Group of independently run, public charter schools. It is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools
To learn more about the school, see questhighschool.com, or visit the campus at 5040 S. Price Road, Tempe. Call (480) 831-6057 for more information.

Outside the building that night, Richard Lebowitz and a male friend approached a female student. Lebowitz told her she looked good and that she would also look good with him and his friend. And he asked her for a date.
Not only did the woman turn him down, she reported Lebowitz's comments to campus cop Michael Jones.
After the fire drill ended, Jones went to the Introduction to Radio class in which Lebowitz was enrolled and asked him to step outside. Then Jones explained the woman's concerns.
The Arapahoe campus had been agitated over the issue of unwanted advances ever since a part-time student, Stephen Gordon, was arrested last spring for stalking an Arizona woman who'd moved to Denver to escape his attentions.
Lebowitz told the officer that his comments had been misconstrued. A few minutes later he rejoined his classmates, explaining that he'd been accused of sexual harassment.
Sitting in the class was Lisbeth Mullin, a reporter with the student newspaper. She listened as Lebowitz joked about the situation, complaining that in today's society he could no longer attempt to "talk to a pretty blond."
Before returning to school as a 41-year-old journalism student, Mullin had been an activist in such areas as domestic violence, gay and lesbian matters and disabled issues. "I have a long feminist history, but I try to be balanced," she told Westword. "When I came back to school, I was going to lay low. I certainly didn't go out of my way to find sexual-harassment problems."
But, as she described it, "the universe" dropped the Lebowitz incident "on my lap, and as a journalist, I thought I should do the story as unbiased as possible."
Still, Mullin said she agonized overnight about whether to approach her editor at the Rapp Street Journal, the college's biweekly newspaper, before deciding to go ahead. Searching her college telephone directory, she had discovered that Lebowitz was not just a student; he also taught business economics at the school.
Mullin said that editor Michael "Doc" Simpson, an electronics major, insisted she write the story. Simpson told Westword he felt pressured by Mullin to go with not just one article but ultimately an entire section on sexual harassment.
In collaboration with two other staffers, including news editor James Bridgers, Mullin wrote a front-page story--which was published under a generic "RSJ staff" byline--in which she used the unusual technique of quoting herself in the third person ("Mullin") as "a student in the class and witness to Jones's removal of the alleged perpetrator from the classroom." Mullin also wrote about the incident in her regular "Hair of the Dogma" column.
The column and story were printed in the September 21 issue, along with a notation that Lebowitz was unavailable for comment. On September 19, Bridgers says, Lebowitz stormed into the newspaper's offices and demanded that the article not be published, saying that "false allegations could be hazardous to his career," that publication of the allegations would "automatically make him guilty with the president and administration" and that "students would be after him." He also handed Bridgers a statement, which he asked the paper to publish.
Bridgers said that the issue had already gone to press. But Lebowitz's statement did not appear in subsequent issues, either.
Although Lebowitz did not return phone calls, Westword received a copy of his statement, along with Bridgers's notes of their meeting.
In his statement, Lebowitz described seeing "a striking, attractive woman" and going over to speak with her. "I thought I was trying to be complimentary and friendly," he wrote. "I do not know if it was the tone of my voice, my age, physical appearance, my accent, the style of my delivery, the words which I spoke, all of the above. The woman obviously found my brief intrusion into her life to be repugnant.
"I wish to apologize to the woman for in my own mind I was only being complimentary and friendly."
In her column, Mullin wrote that she herself had seen Lebowitz the night of the fire drill, "in a very social mood, laughing and pressing hands with faculty and students alike--as if he were the center of attention at a party in his honor." She'd watched as Lebowitz walked toward the blond woman; then, sensing "that he was going to hit on her," she'd turned away. "Now, of course, I wish I had listened," she wrote. "Could I have intervened?
"What could I have done at the time to help you out of the situation?" she continued, addressing her question to the woman. But in the next paragraph, Mullin provided her own answer by noting that "obviously you didn't need my assistance to stand up for yourself."
Mullin wrapped up her column with a series of questions: "Where are the boundaries between social dating rituals and victimization? Would this situation have been different if the alleged perpetrator wasn't a faculty member? Is there ever a situation where it would be okay for two people to walk up to a stranger standing alone and make sexual innuendos?

Hello Backup Exec Users!
Anyone looking to move backup data to the cloud? Planning on reducing the use of tape in the upcoming months or years? Looking to save money on tapes, tape storage, and other offsite backups? If you are researching or implementing any of these concepts, Symantec may have solutions that can help.
We're partnered with Nirvanix (www.nirvanix.com), a global provider of highly-available cloud storage to provide a method to backup data to the Nirvanix Storage Delivery Network (SDN). Using the freely-available Backup Exec Cloud Storage for Nirvanix plugin (available here: http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH141618 ), you can:
- Use Nirvanix SDN cloud storage just like any other Backup Exec local storage device.
- Establish the Nirvanix SDN cloud as a new storage tier or as a secondary off-site location for disaster recovery.
- Backup directly from Remote Agents to the Nirvanix cloud
- Set Copy from BE Media Servers to the Nirvanix Cloud
There can be real, measurable benefit to using cloud storage instead of using tape for on and off-premise storage. Some of the benefits of Cloud Storage can be:
- Reduce the costs of secondary storage for infrequently accessed information by replacing offsite tape with public cloud storage.
- Reduce the costs associated with the movement of physical media to and from offsite storage facilities.
- Backup to the cloud so offsite data remains online
- Use the cloud as an inexpensive offsite storage option for data protection and disaster recovery
- Backup Exec 2010 R2 or higher
- Backup Exec Deduplication Option
- Note – the Nirvanix SDN cloud service cannot store deduplicated data. The Deduplication Option is how the technology is enabled and does not imply the ability to store deduplicated data to the cloud. We plan to remove the Deduplication Option as a requirement in a future release of Backup Exec.
- An account with Nirvanix, purchased through the Nirvanix.com or via the Nirvanix sales channels.

Smart Transportation Becoming The Focal Point For Smart City Projects Worldwide, According To New Pike Research Tracker
The past twelve months have seen an explosion of interest in the smart city concept. Cities around the world have announced new smart city strategies and innovative projects, and many existing programs have been rebranded as smart city initiatives. According to a new tracker report from Pike Research, a part of Navigant's Energy Practice, more than 50 percent of smart city projects are focused on innovations in transportation and urban mobility. The tracker identifies and details 130 smart city projects underway across the globe.
"Smart city initiatives cover a wide range of projects, but urban mobility is becoming a lynchpin issue that ties together energy reduction, sustainability, and technology innovation," says research director Eric Woods. "Devising an environmentally friendly, economically efficient, and voter-acceptable mobility strategy for the modern city is at the top of the priority list for many smart city planners."
The growing interest in smart city programs is creating a global market opportunity that represent billions of dollars in annual revenue. City officials see sustainability as closely tied to the economic opportunities for their cities. City officials understand that the growth industries of the future will be closely linked to the development of information and communication technologies and services, as well as innovative clean technologies, and they see the smart city concept as both a useful marketing tool and a means of coordinating investment and innovation.
The report, "Smart City Tracker", provides survey results regarding the current state of smart city developments around the globe in all their diversity. In particular, the tracker covers five key industry sectors as they relate to smart cities: smart energy, smart water, smart transportation, smart buildings, and smart government. It also looks across these sectors at projects that address multiple aspects of city operations. The tracker includes 130 projects, more than 90 percent of which address issues related to energy, transportation, or government. These projects are segmented by region and by primary industry sector. An Executive Summary of the report is available for free download on the Pike Research website.About Pike Research Pike Research, which joined Navigant's global Energy Practice on July 1, 2012, provides in-depth analysis of global clean technology markets. The team's research methodology combines supply-side industry analysis, end-user primary research and demand assessment, and deep examination of technology trends to provide a comprehensive view of the Smart Energy, Smart Utilities, Smart Transportation, Smart Industry, and Smart Buildings sectors.

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
In the Summer of 1955, while in the U.S. Army, stationed in England, I saw a version of CONFIDENTIAL REPORT (aka MR. ARKADIN, M. ARKADIN, or DOSSIER SECRET) by Writer/Director Orson Welles. I shall briefly describe that experience, out of the spider webs in my cerebrum. It was one of the most startling, black magical films I have ever seen.
This CONFIDENTIAL REPORT began with a fade in of the nude body of a young woman lying on a beach, and then a close up of her face and open eyes.
(The sound of waves. The voice of Adventurer Guy Van Stratten [Robert Arden] spoke a eulogy for Milly [Patricia Medina] and trailed off.) The camera lifted in a lap dissolve to an airplane flying aimlessly. (Sound of engine. A Narrator [Welles] told us that the sighting of this plane on Christmas Morning last eventually threw half a dozen European governments into turmoil, and that the film would reveal why.)
Another dissolve, this one to black, and almost immediately, a cell door opened in a bright rectangle near mid-screen, and an old man, Jacob Zouk (Akim Tamiroff), came blinking into the light. Because he was near death, Zouk was being released from a German prison, where he had been confined for 14 years. As he stumbled reluctantly down the hall, Zouk complained that he didn't want to go outside, that he had forebodings. The jailer said, too bad, he was pardoned and had to go. Zouk's mind filled with strange, violent images from World War II and before.
(Cut to a tenement at Sabastian Platt 16, Munich, Germany.) Van Stratten took up the narration again, finding Zouk, and after a time, explaining to Zouk in flashback how it was he had come to this bleak city tenement, at the bidding of one Gregory Arkadin (Welles), on Christmas Eve.
The last part of the film revealed why the plane in the first sequence was flying with no one in it.
All the credits were at the end, a practice Welles favored.
The CONFIDENTIAL REPORT (MR. ARKADIN), in my memory, cannot be the same film released after being taken away from Writer/Director Welles in 1954, but it may have been a test assemblage of the film he had wanted to present to his public. If so, it is the best of its kind I ever saw.
CONFIDENTIAL REPORT made a crazy triangle of Zouk, Van Stratten and Arkadin as a metaphor for Post War Europe, but that film is gone. In fact, critics claim no one ever saw it outside a screening room, but I did. It was in a short limited release at a theater in London's Leicester Square that summer of '55, when Welles' presented a three week run of his play, Moby Dick -- Rehearsed, at The Duke of York's Theater, one of my great theater-going experiences.
Shortly after seeing his play, I dragged two Army buddies to what must have been a sort of sneak preview of CONFIDENTIAL REPORT, as it was titled, and we were bowled over. A different version played London in August of 1955, and another was shown in France a year later. A cut, said to be pretty much the one we have now, opened as MR. ARKADIN in the U.S. at The New Yorker Theater in 1962.
As a matter of fact, in various film archives around the World, over a dozen editions of MR ARKADIN/CONFIDENTIAL REPORT appear to reside. (To complicate matters, Welles also shot a version in Spanish, with some cast changes.) These films range from 70 minutes to something over 100 minutes, still far short of the 120 minute film Welles planned. A few,like the 99 minute Criterion edition I have on Laserdisc, are pretty good, with something of the flashback within a flashback within a flashback preserved. Others are just plain, straight forward thrillers. Some are absurd and unwatchable.
Welles fashioned the original screen play M. ARKADIN, as it was first called, using "Greek Meets Greek," an episode from his 1951 British radio series, The Adventures of Harry Lime, combined with another screen play of his: Masquerade. He envisioned a film about a figure who was shaking Europe in the years after World War II, the way Charles Foster Kane had shaken America before the War. He modeled the Russian (Georgian) Gregory Arkadin roughly, at least in make up, after Soviet Marshal Josef Stalin, and the Greek oil shipping magnates, like Aristotle Onassis, who were rising on the World commercial scene in the early 1950's. The film was produced and financed by an old friend of Welles, a French political theorist, Louis Dolivet.
Welles, in this film, was anticipating a hard truth about Christmas. In the 1950's, just as the commercial madness of the season, driven by "planned obsolescence," frighted by the need for full employment in the face of Communism, was turning us into a rabble of greedy consumers, Welles saw that, for the have-nots and a majority of the elderly in the Western World, the Holidays, whatever ones faith or lack of it, was a cruel sham. A clue to this subtext is when the wealthy Arkadin looks into the face of the cowering, supine pauper Zouk and laughs.
"What are you laughing at?" asks Zouk.
"At old age," smirks Arkadin.
CONFIDENTIAL REPORT (as my laserdisc copy is called) begins with a shortened sequence of the aimless single engine plane flying above Spain, and a shorter narration of the effects of the event, including the fall of at least one European government. Then we see an epigraph, white print on a black screen, which tells a little fable (one of several in the film) about an old king, who asked a jester what treasure he should give away. The jester told him to give away anything but . . . his secret. Then come the credits, introducing a Gypsy-like musical score by Paul Misraki (ALPHAVILLE, Godard, 1965). And we are retreating before Guy Van Stratten, as he stalks into the dark Munich tenement to find a bundled-up Zouk hiding in the attic. Surrounded by the detritus of the European Century, including a broken upside down photo of Hitler, Van Stratten tells Zouk why he has come.
Van Stratten was on the deck of his small yacht, moored in the Bay of Naples, with his girl Milly, one night months earlier when a released convict, similar to Zouk, was knifed on the dock. The dying man, Bracco (Gregoire Aslan) whispered one name to Van Stratten, and an additional name -- that of a woman -- to Milly.
The names, he says, are worth a small fortune.
Always on the make, the pair split up. While Milly, keeping the woman's name to herself, goes to France to seduce one of the people mentioned, Gregory Arkadin, Van Stratten tracks down Arkadin's daughter Raina (Paola Mori). She falls in love with Van Stratten, seeing him as a means of escaping her father, who has minions spying on all her activities.
When Arkadin, a power broker of immense wealth and prestige, finds out about the affair, he has a confidential report on Van Stratten prepared for Raina. (Van Stratten aka George Straitheimmer, aka George Streeter, has been a small time smuggler of gold and cigarettes, important in the black market economy flourishing in Europe after World War II.) When his move to discredit Van Stratten backfires, in a strange quid pro quo, a kind of wager, Arkadin hires Van Stratten to do a similar report on himself. If Van Stratten can find out why Arkadin, suffering from amnesia, woke up on a park bench in Zurich in 1927 with 200,000 Swiss francs in his pocket, he will get $15,000 and a chance to marry Raina.
Thus, begins a lightning chase which moves from the South of France, to Spain, to Britain, to Tangier, to Amsterdam, to Paris, to Mexico, among other places, and finally to Munich, where the story moves toward a conclusion in the grimy gloom of a Christmas in the slums. At each point where Van Stratten finds a clue to Arkadin's past, someone dies.
The melodramatic trail leads through the flea circus of a man who likes magnifying glasses (Mischa Auer), to a black marketeer (Peter Van Eyck), to a dithery antique dealer (Sir Michael Redgrave) who likes telescopes, to an ex-spy turned fashion sales person (Suzanne Flon), to a Mexican General's mistress (Katina Paxinou) and her heroin addicted husband (Frederic O'Brady).
Welles sees all these people as victims of the madness of Fascism and World War II, eventually even Arkadin himself. In the end, the original heart of the story, Zouk, an ex-tailor from Warsaw who holds the secret of Arkadin, only wants a warm Gooseliver dinner, with garlic mashed potatoes, onions and apples, to celebrate his last Season on earth.
A superb cast of character actors do some of their best work ever. In addition to famous names of their generation, like Tamiroff, Redgrave, Auer and Paxinou, late in the film a new face, soon better known, Gert Frobe (GOLDFINGER, Hamilton, 1964), turns up in the small part of a German detective, and later still, Tamiroff's wife Tamara Shayne appears as an old prostitute.
CONFIDENTIAL REPORT/MR. ARKADIN is full of Welles' wonderful imaginative touches, such as a kind of running observation of how names could be misread, misspelled, and mis-pronounced in Europe of the time, depending on who the people were and where they came from. Then, a pin light is focused on Arakadin's left eye in the first two-thirds of the action, suggesting a One-Eyed King. Only after he is unmasked, as it were, do we see him full face. A costume party is populated with the old aristocracy and fascists, wearing Goya-esque masks of Welles' design. (It would seem to be the kind of effect which Kubrick was attempting to achieve in his EYES WIDE SHUT orgy scene.) And so, if you know what Welles was up to -- as I do, from that magical lost original -- the film makes a good deal of sense.
The photography by Jean Bougoin (BLACK ORPHEUS, 1959) catches atmospherically each of the settings, and the mood of each of its characters.
The laserdisc version I have of CONFIDENTIAL REPORT/MR. ARKADIN suffers from the dialogue dubbing problems of Welles' later films (due, ironically, to not having proper equipment when following his practice of pre-recording scenes, and having actors lip-synch). And of course, this film is not anywhere near the film of 1955 that I have in my mind's eye.
WHICH brings us back to Louis Dolivet.
Dolivet was the last of a series of mentors who attempted to shape or protect Welles' talent over the years.
The first, Welles' mother Beatrice, pianist, crack rifle shot, suffragette who went to jail for the cause, died at the age of 43, when he was barely nine. He said that he never recovered from her death. THE MAGNIFICENT AMBERSONS (1942) was intended as a requiem for that loss.
Longest lived and most faithful of the mentors, Roger "Skipper" Hill, his teacher at Todd School in Woodstock, Illinois, encouraged his theatrical and oratorical bent from the time he was ten. Hill outlived Welles by a number of years, still guarding his pupil's accomplishments.
The third was his wealthy Virginian father Richard Head Welles, inventor, womanizer, heavy drinker, who, before dying at age 58, in 1930, took young Welles around the World to "make a man of him," sending him off on solitary adventures. Welles always expressed guilt that he contributed to his father's death, by refusing to see Dad unless he gave up drinking.
Welles' guardian, Russian-born Dr. Maurice "Dadda" Bernstein, confidant of his mother, competitor to his father, allowed him to go by himself to England and Ireland, on a sketching tour, for two years after his father's death. Director of Dublin's Gate Theater Hilton Edwards recognized the talent of the fifteen year-old there, and cast him in prominent roles, while lead actor Michael Mac Liammoir helped Welles polish his skills. They were to pop up in Welles' career for the rest of his life (most memorably, Mac Liammoir's Iago in Welles' OTHELLO, 1952).
Following more travel, and joining Katharine Cornell's Touring Company, he met his great mentor, John Houseman, who guided him through his most significant triumphs in radio, theater and the movies. They broke after Houseman helped Welles stage Richard Wright's Native Son on Broadway in 1942. The two men, sadly, feuded for the rest of their lives; Houseman continued to recriminate even after Welles' death.
Louis Dolivet, then, the final mentor, a political refugee from France, met Welles in Hollywood during World War II. He had formed an organization called Free World, which urged the formation of The United Nations, and he saw Welles as a potential Senator from his native Wisconsin (against an unknown guy named Joe McCarthy in 1946); if not that, perhaps one day -- President. He encouraged Welles to work as a speech writer and speaker on FDR's later campaigns, gave Welles a column in Free World's Magazine, influential for a time; and, inadvertently, he may have been instrumental in making Welles a target for the Right Wing and commercial hacks of Hollywood, who objected to Welles' artistic and social agendas.
It was at that point, in part because of his friendship with Dolivet, that J. Edgar Hoover had a confidential dossier opened on Welles.
Dolivet no doubt encouraged Welles to get out of America before the Black List descended upon him.
But by 1955, Dolivet, something of a refugee again, was a sometime film producer. That this friend panicked, took MR. ARKADIN away from Welles at Christmastime 1954, had it recut several times, and essentially destroyed its artistic and commercial chances, illustrates the kind of ironic problem Orson Welles faced in his later career.
[UPDATE: August 2001. It occurs to me that Dolivet is a partial inspiration for the mentor figure in Welles' last screen play, The Big Brass Ring, shot a couple of years ago by George Hickenlooper.]
CONFIDENTIAL REPORT/MR. ARKADIN may be seen as Welles' self-deprecating, psychological confidential report on his own career, and the difficulties he was having at the time with his oldest daughter Christopher -- she and a few of the above people fitting appropriate parts. Dolivet, in a sense, was also Arkadin to Welles' Van Stratten. About all Welles salvaged from this film making experience, which he considered the second great disaster of his career (after IT'S ALL TRUE, 1942/1993), was the leading lady Paula Mori, the Contessa di Falco, who became Welles' third and last wife.
The fictional Van Stratten lost out entirely.
Enjoy MR. ARKADIN or CONFIDENTIAL REPORT as a curious, noirish gift of Gooseliver (mincemeat) late in the Season of Orson Welles.

UPDATE: Thursday, January 18, 2007: For those looking for something quite a bit closer to the original, I recommend Stefan Droessler's edit from the Munich Film, THE COMPREHENSIVE VERSION, which utilizes all known existing footage. Though Zouk's release from prison could not be found (and I don't like the placement of the last shot), Droessler has done a masterful job in bringing the other parts together in a version much closer to the one I remember.
On that basis, I'm awarding another star for Droessler's COMPREHENSIVE VERSION of MR. ARKADIN (The Criterion Collection, #322). Four Stars for Droessler!!
"The Corinth Edition" (included in the Criterion package) has merit, too, but avoid all others.

RE: George Mauk 125 PA
Rev L,
I created the following record for this individual in the US Soldiers' and Airmen's Home National Cemetery:
as George W Mock
One of the genealogical websites, maybe fold3.com, had a quite detailed record of his widow's pension filing. The spelling used in the pension filing was 'mock.' I realize that 'mock' and 'mauk' are homophones.
At some point in the future, one of the children listed on my record might show up in Findagrave. If and when one does, we'll be able to confirm the spelling.

RE: Simon B @ St Marys
Of course you know, my research makes 'sweeps' through the entire list of 914-ish soldiers for varying purposes and at varying degrees of research 'quality.' In the case of a missing headstone, if I feel a high degree of certainty about a single grave, I will record the GPS coordinates at the center of a single grave. For the year 3014 there will be very few of the 125th left with headstones and the GPS coordinates ALONE will prove.the existence of the Regiment.
In the case of Simon B and his family: if the family plot is a single 'rank' I might record the left and right 'flank markers.' If it's more than one rank (or rectangular) I might record the 4 corners and report:
"The certain location of Simon B's grave is dubious. Based upon concerted genealogical research, Fr/Rev Albert Ledoux considers it 95% probable that Simon B is buried within a within a family plot in St. Mary's Cemetery. Plot consists of X graves in Y shape. GPS coordinates for the four corners are as follows: Most likely grave locations are centered at Coords W and Z."
Thank you.

A farmer gathers the remains of a dying corn plantation in Chiang Saen district along the bank of the Mekong River.
Polluting-agriculture contributes to climate change. Polluting-agriculture practices include using synthetic-chemical fertilizers and toxic pesticides, and planting monocultures— large areas of a single plant.
Ecological farming, in contrast, helps mitigate and adapt to the effects of climate change. Ecological farming employs natural fertilizers; organic pest control; and biodiverse farming—mixing different plants and crop varieties in a given field .
Polluting-agriculture is a key source of carbon emissions. Specifically, this unhealthy form of agriculture creates roughly 14% of all human-caused greenhouse-gas emissions. And in fact, polluting-agriculture is responsible for up to 32% of these greenhouse-gas emissions when we include deforestation caused by agricultural expansion.
Climate change also impacts agriculture. Rainfall, temperatures and farmers' access to water are three main factors that can disrupt agriculture and ecosystems. It is almost certain that crop yields will decrease in warmer climates, where food is most scarce. Other consequences of climate change include increased outbreaks of insect infestation, as well as infestations spreading to new geographic areas (for example, the emergence of the European corn borer and the American bollworm in Europe).
What, exactly, are the sources of the human-caused greenhouse gas emissions in agriculture? Apart from deforestation and other land-use changes, it is mainly synthetic fertilizers and livestock that emit nitrous oxide and methane, potent greenhouse gases.
Approximately half of agricultural emissions come from livestock and meat production. The average amount of fossil-fuel energy needed to produce calories in meat is roughly ten times higher than the energy needed to produce calories in plants.
From 1990 to 2005, the world's agricultural emissions increased by 17%. Scientists now project that, by 2080, emissions will again increase—this time by 35 to 60%. This would represent at least a doubling of agriculture's greenhouse gas emissions.
Greenpeace illustrates the climate effects of industrial farming by writing "N2O" in flames on a field.
Ecological farming adapts agriculture to climate change by bringing diversity back to farms and fields—and by protecting natural biodiversity. Ecological farming practices can mitigate up to 70% of all of agriculture's greenhouse gas emissions. Specifically:
Greenpeace believes that the future of agriculture is ecological farming. This ensures healthy farming and healthy food for today and tomorrow. Ecological farming practices protect soil, water and climate. They promote biodiversity. And they protect the environment from contamination by chemicals and genetic engineering.

Guanella Pass DEIS Released
by Lyn Yarroll, Mt. Evans Group Chair
After years of delay, the Guanella Pass Road Draft Environmental Impact Statement has finally been released for public review and comment.
Guanella Pass Road is a lovely, half-dirt, half-paved backcountry forest road that provides recreational access to the western side of the Mt. Evans Wilderness and to portions of the Arapaho-Roosevelt and Pike National Forests.
The saga of the proposal to "improve" this road began almost 10 years ago, after the road was designated a federal and state scenic and historic byway. After designation turned it into a well-advertised and popular tourist attraction, Park and Clear Creek counties asked the Federal Highway Administration to consider improving the road. Not surprisingly, the FHWA's initial recommendation in 1993 was to rebuild, widen and pave the whole darn thing.
Since then, the Highway Administration has been overseeing the studies needed for the project's Environmental Impact Statement. To fulfill National Environmental Policy Act requirements, they've also come up with four other alternatives to improve the road, including a "no build" alternative and three others that could lead to paving and widening the entire road sometime in the future. They've worked hard to ignore less drastic recommendations and a (sixth) alternative proposed by the Mt. Evans Group.
Location, location, location
That little mantra sums up exactly why paving and widening Guanella Pass is such a bad idea. Take a look at any state map—note that the road provides a convenient connection between Interstate 70 and Highway 285, two of Colorado's major highways.
Note also that the road is located between the Mt. Evans Wilderness (to the east) and two large roadless areas, known as Square Top and Burning Bear, to the west. Granted, quite a few nature lovers travel the road on summer and "fall color" weekends, but, due to the road's current condition, nobody can drive fast even if they want to, and most people know that it's a lousy way to get from 285 to I-70. Hence, heavy traffic is a pretty rare occurrence, and the critters can mosey across the road just about any time they feel like it.
Now let's turn this little road into a beautifully smooth, well designed, two-lane highway. Let's increase the volume of traffic by 150 to 225 percent (FHWA's estimated increase in its Traffic Volume Projections report), so that instead of 690 vehicles using the road on a typical summer Sunday, we have up to 2,242 noisy, pollution-belching, speeding vehicles on the road in one day. Let's watch the car accidents increase and the roadkill numbers soar.
Or, maybe, let's not. Instead, let's acknowledge how much we all will lose if Guanella Pass Road is turned into yet another highway. Let's stabilize the slopes that are eroding and causing sedimentation problems by building retaining walls that are covered in native stone. Let's rebuild the parts of the road that are causing severe drainage problems, while leaving other parts untouched. Let's pave only where fugitive dust creates a problem for local residents, and leave other parts unpaved. Let's keep the road at its current variable widths. In other words, let's go with the Mt. Evans Group alternative! Let's all do everything we can to ensure that this road is never used as a connecting highway for commercial use, so that both the wildlife and people can always enjoy this area as a haven of rest and refreshment.
What you can do:
Write comments (by August 30th) to the FHWA (and to Park and Clear Creek County commissioners). To get a copy of the Mt. Evans Group Action Alert, which provides an outline of MEG's alternative and guidelines for comments, please check the group's website at www.rmc.sierraclub.org/meg/; or contact Lyn Yarroll at 303-838-8117 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
The DEIS is posted on the Federal Highway Administration's website at: www.cflhd.gov/projects/co/guanella/deis.htm.

7 Ways the PPACA Hurts Safety Net Hospitals
The idea that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which was written in part to strengthen the healthcare safety net, may end up punishing the very providers who take care of the poor by imposing unfair payment algorithms, is ironic.
It reminds me of Catherine Kutzler's lament.
She's the CEO of poor St. Joseph's Hospital in Philadelphia. When the HCAHPS (Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems) survey was updated in May, it showed her 146-bed facility had the third worst patient experience scores in the country, including whether patients "would recommend" St. Joseph's to family and friends.
"This is a very old hospital," she sighed. "We receive a lot of complaints about our rooms. They're old and they look dirty no matter what we do."
Also hurting her scores is the fact that the building is in a poor part of town. Many patients can't pay. She couldn't get qualified emergency department nurses and salaries aren't comparable. Many of the doctors are older and may be perceived as being out of touch.
And many of their patients have drug-seeking or mental health issues that make St. Joseph's other patients uncomfortable. "I've been here since 1990 and the community has always viewed this hospital as one that just takes care of the poor," she said.
Nearly two and a half years after the law's passage, researchers, clinicians and public hospital officials are seeing that unintended consequences of the law may punish these hospitals for conditions that are out of their control, impeding their ability to care for the sickest and poorest patients, and contributing to a downward institutional spiral.

1) Unless Republican governors choose to give away Medicaid funds in order to score political points, PPACA is a huge boon for safety net hospitals. Higher reporting requirements are annoying, certainly, as are reward payments that may not capture the challenges of being a safety net hospital, but drastically increased insurance rates are a massive bonus to hospitals that currently provide so much uncompensated care. 2) Mr. Plemmons: I defy you to describe one specific way in which PPACA is a "massive government takeover." Does Medicare not paying for readmissions constitute a takeover? Having insurers compete in state-based exchanges a takeover?

Gee, who knew that a massive government takeover of the healthcare system could have unintended consequences? Someone should alert the AHA, CHA and all the other organizations that sold their constituents down the river in return for more volume. Volume, by the way, that will be under reimbursed, but I guess that was unintended too.
