1. Which energies
Energy supply systems can develop different faults. What are HOTMOBIL Mobile Energy Units used for and when can they provide a solution? And when is it actually worth using a mobile energy unit?
Hotmobil: HOTMOBIL specialises in supplying mobile energy to buildings' technical systems. In particular, we offer mobile solutions for supplying heating and cooling energy, hot water and steam. We offer Mobile Heating Units, Mobile Cooling Units, Mobile Hot Water Units and Mobile Steam Units. We also offer small Mobile Electric Heaters with an output of up to 40 kW. In addition, we have a large range of auxiliary equipment including Mobile Air Heaters, Mobile Tank Units, Mobile Pumps, Mobile Heat Exchangers, Mobile Storage Units, Mobile Expansion Tanks, etc. Our products provide ideal temporary solutions when energy systems fail. They can be used in a variety of different situations, for example, when carrying out renovation work, after natural disasters, during construction delays or when building work has been completed more quickly than expected, for special and process applications, if there are delivery problems, for peak load coverage, etc. When used for longer periods of time, it may make economic sense to actually purchase a mobile energy unit. To this end, we have our own planning department and state-of-the-art manufacturing areas.
2. Uninterrupted energy supply
When retrofitting an entire energy generation system, can mobile energy units be used to maintain an uninterrupted energy supply without having to perform any modifications or temporary measures?
Hotmobil: Apart from ensuring that the entry points for the media supply in the building's ducting have been suitably prepared, no modifications have to be made to the building's systems. A mobile energy unit is delivered on-site on the agreed date, connected via flexible and pressure-resistance hoses to the building's systems and then put into operation. In this way, heating, cooling or steam units and their distribution systems can be dismantled and reinstalled without having to interrupt the energy supply.
3. Costs and billing
What are the costs of using Mobile Energy Units?
Hotmobil: The hire charges for the energy units used are calculated on the basis of the number of days of use and the output of the unit. Additional flat rates are charged for transport and commissioning. If the duration of use is known from the outset, the costs can be determined from the beginning.
4. Access to the installation site and installation
What do the delivery and operation of a Mobile Energy Unit require at the installation site?
Hotmobil: The selection of a suitable Mobile Energy Unit starts as early as the planning stage. At the installation site, the units can be installed next to the building to ensure the shortest possible connection route to the object, for example, near a cellar window or basement opening. If direct access to the installation site is restricted or not possible, various models can be lowered into position by crane. With larger projects, a HOTMOBIL project consultant provides customer support and, before order placement, checks the local conditions and routes for connecting the unit.
5. Connection to the building
How is the unit connected to the building´s system?
Hotmobil: The hire units are fitted with hose couplings for connecting to the building's ducting. Hotmobil's service engineers connect these via pressure and temperature-resistant hoses to the entry points of the building's ducting.
6. Tender and billing
How are Mobile Energy Units described in the specifications? What are the billing units? What does the building owner have to provide and tender separately?
Hotmobil: For inclusion in the specifications, tender texts for all energy units and other products are available to download from www.hotmobil.de. The billing unit is the rental period in days. Delivery, connecting the energy units, commissioning and instruction are included as separate items in the bill. The customer commissions a specialist to install the necessary entry points to connect the hoses. The customer is responsible for providing the power supply and, if necessary, for sourcing the fuel (heating oil or gas) for the Mobile Energy Unit. For the latter, we also offer a so-called fuel management service.
7. Locations and availability
Are the Mobile Energy Units just available in certain regions?
Hotmobil: Hotmobil Deutschland GmbH has more than 800 units for hire at a total of nine locations, namely at its headquarters in Gottmadingen in South Germany and at its branches throughout Germany. All enquiries regarding mobile energy units are initially taken by the Service Hotline at the company headquarters in Gottmadingen, South Germany. They are then processed and coordinated to ensure that the customer has a single contact person and that the whole process runs as smoothly as possible. Hotmobil customers can sign an energy guarantee with the company. This ensures a guaranteed delivery within six hours.
8. Operation and service
Who is responsible for ensuring the reliable operation of the units? What service does Hotmobil offer?
Hotmobil: Hotmobil has its own employees for installation and commissioning. This also includes assembly, delivery and removal. After commissioning, Hotmobil officially hands over the Mobile Energy Unit to the relevant company and instructs employees on how to work with it. From this time onwards, while the trade business is responsible for operating the energy unit, in the event of any malfunction, the Hotmobil troubleshooting service in on hand 'round the clock' to provide support.
9. Technology and energy efficiency
How reliable are mobile energy units? Which technological standards do they comply with? In order to achieve low fuel or electricity costs, are the units energy-efficient?
Hotmobil: The technology featured in the Mobile Energy Units consists of the very latest plant components currently available on the market. Hotmobil also attaches great importance to servicing the units after each use and testing their energy consumption. Furthermore, we practice a certified quality management system as per DIN ISO 9001.

Voltage supervisor fundamentals and design considerations
Voltage supervisors increase the system reliability and robustness by ensuring that power rails are active only during stable power supply. This is achieved through functions such as: precise voltage monitoring, over-voltage protection, power failure indicator, processor monitoring, power sequencing, battery backup, and reset latching.
In this series, you will learn about the:
Overview of supply voltage supervisors
This video will cover the first section of the training module that provides an overview of supply voltage supervisors. We will start with a brief introduction to Supply Voltage Supervisors. Next, we will present some system level design challenges that can be solved using the Supply Voltage Supervisors and end the presentation with information on finding the right collateral and resources for further help.
Applications of voltage supervisors in grid infrastructure
Leakage current detection is necessary in most of the industrial and residential breakers as well as in many EEQ such as EV chargers, PV inverters etc. In this course we'll deep dive into circuit breakers and review TIDA-010041 reference design that provides an easy and efficient method of detecting residual current or ground fault by leveraging voltage supervisor IC. This solution also finds application in over-voltage detection in binary input module EEQ. In addition, this also includes power sequencing using supply voltage supervisors.

Observation is the act of acquiring information based on one or more of the senses. For example, visual information is gained through sight, auditory information through hearing, and so forth. An observation is one piece of such information. A set of observations may be called data.
Note that observations may come through intermediary technologies. For example, we can't see radio waves directly, but we can build electronic components called radio receivers that respond in predicable ways to such waves. The responses of the electronic components may then be observed through sight or hearing.
A set of observations is different from an explanation of those observations. In science, for example, a hypothesis may be developed as a possible explanation of one set of observations and tested based on other, independent sets of observations. When a hypothesis successfully explains many such independently observed data, it may become a scientific theory.

Pale and haggard after hours of questioning, a leading Bolshoi dancer told a Moscow court that he gave his blessing to an attack on the ballet's artistic director, but never imagined that the assailant would go as far as to throw acid in his face.
The arrest and confessions of Pavel Dmitrichenko, who danced the parts of both heroes and villains in the Bolshoi's famed classical ballets, has dealt a painful blow to the theater's reputation and left many members of the company bewildered and incredulous.
Sergei Filin, 42, suffered severe burns to his face and eyes in the Jan. 17 attack. He has undergone a series of operations aimed at saving his sight.
The 29-year-old Dmitrichenko said his conflict with Filin was focused on the distribution of salaries and other financial issues, but speculation was rife about other possible reasons for the attack. Some claimed that the dancer wanted to take revenge for his ballerina girlfriend after she was turned down for a major role, while others pondered arcane conspiracy theories alleging the involvement of other top figures in the theater.
Facing the judge on Thursday, Dmitrichenko said he had told the suspected perpetrator of the attack about his grievances concerning the Bolshoi and his arguments with Filin.
"I told Yuri Zarutsky about the policies of the Bolshoi Theater, about the bad things going on, the corruption. When he said: 'OK, let me beat him up, hit him upside the head,' I agreed, but that is all that I admit to doing," Dmitrichenko said in court. "It's not true that I ordered him to throw acid at Filin."
The burly, grim-faced Zarutsky, who served seven years in a maximum security prison for beating up someone who later died, tried to cover his face from TV cameras with his tattooed hand when he was led into the courtroom. He made an indecent gesture and uttered an obscene comment to reporters who shouted out questions about his part in the crime.
Moscow police said on Thursday that Dmitrichenko had paid 50,000 rubles (about US$1,600) to Zarutsky, who they said had purchased acid at an auto shop and then heated it to make it more concentrated. The third defendant, Andrei Lipatov, drove the getaway car, but insisted that he did not know the purpose of his mission.
The judge rejected all three men's pleas for release and ordered them held until at least April 18 while the investigation continues. If convicted, they face up to 12 years in prison.

Without You I have few smiles,
for I have gone on thinking for miles
about the day when you will come back,
for without you this house does lack.
The thing it lacks, is someone I love,
He's my hero, my best friend, and reason to go on.
Without You the house is cold,
no one here to have and to hold.
I wish I may & wish I might
that somehow he would not have to fight
this war among others and us
were only human why can't we just trust.
Cause back at home this house needs you
Your our daddy and Lovers & Dream come true
Our son is growing and learning so much
sometime I dream about the day we will touch.
We love and miss you more than you will ever know.
your our husband and father the best man ever known.

The general consensus around baseball seems to be that the Tigers made a smart move to part ways with Prince Fielder's massive contract and improve defensively by acquiring Ian Kinsler in Wednesday's trade. But Miguel Cabrera is not the general consensus around baseball.
The AL MVP took to Twitter to unleash a flurry of tweets and retweets celebrating the two years he spent playing alongside his "mejor amigo." It's devastating.
It's sometimes easy to forget there's a real, human element to baseball transactions. And players know that the threat of getting traded is just one of the trade-offs they make to be paid huge bucks to play baseball for a living. But that doesn't mean it feels good for the guys sent packing or the friends they leave behind.
All of these were retweeted by Cabrera's account:
Someone please give Miguel Cabrera a Prince Fielder-sized hug.

Customer Master Customization
Related Trainings
SAP Training
Customer master is the primary master data in SAP SD. Typically SAP SD functional consultant will have to customize the customer master at least a little bit to suit the requirements of the project. Since this is very standard data and needs to be synced across systems ( For Example ECC CRM ), SAP allows very little customization to the customer master. Nevertheless, SAP allows full customization in the customer master in terms of fields (Hide, show, grey out fields, make fields mandatory etc)and external interfaces ( Interacting with external tax vendors like Vertex etc ) .
Menu Path is [ SPRO -> IMG -> Logistics General -> Business Partner -> Customers -> Control ]
Configure Field Statuses in Customer Master
Step 1. – The control is defined at the customer account group level. So for a customer type of Sold-to – 0001 , the fields can be customized. Select the Customer Account Group. In this case we have selected the 0001 – Sold-to Party.
Step 2. – A customer master in standard R/3 can have multiple views – General view, company code view and the sales view. Double click on the corresponding text in the Field status tab to customize the specific view.
Step 4. – Fields in the customer master data are grouped into "Status Groups" or "Field Status Groups" . For example, the Address group contains all the fields related to the address data like the name, street name, zip code etc. Select the right field status group.
Step 5 .- Each field can have any of the following 4 statuses – These statuses are self-descriptive.
- Suppress – Do not show the field in the master data.
- Required Entry – Make this field mandatory.
- Optional Entry – Make this field an optional entry.
- Display – Gray out this field.
Here is an example of the customer master "Name" field for the standard customer account group 0001- Sold to party. The little check mark in the name field signifies that the field is indeed mandatory.
Now change the radio button of the first field ( Name 1/Last name ) to Opt. entry.
If you create a new customer now, you can see that the name of the customer will be optional ( As is evident by the lack of the check mark in the Name field )

As you might know (because I'm going on about it constantly), I'm originally Russian. We moved to London when I was a kid, but I'm still Russian enough to dig the food and always quite interested when a new Russian restaurant pops up. Mari Vanna has been open for a few months in London, so my parents, Andrew and I gave it a go at the weekend.
tl:dr review: expensive but authentically delightful Russian food in a jolly setting, totally let down by shitty service.
First of all, the place looks amazing (hence the picture post). It's kind of worth it just for that. Housed in a big residential-ish building in (but, of course) Knightsbridge, there's even a load of doorbells outside the entrance as if you're popping round to eat at the fictional Maria Ivanovna's flat. The whole place it decked out in Russian knicknaks, doodads and what-nots on every surface. The napkins come rolled in the bottom half of a Russian doll and the bill arrives in a leather purse, it's all very very cute. The bathrooms are especially increds, with Russian audiobooks playing, beautiful clashing tiles and wallpaper and lots of little gold mirrors.
The food is legit, too. My mum and I both gave it the thumbs up (my mum, being Russian, fussy and vegan is a tough customer) and the Brits were also happy. There's a good balance between the Very Russian stuff (anything jellied, salo, all the salads) and the Not Too Scary for newcomers stuff (beef stroganoff, fish), lots of veggie options and some excellent drinks. The food is properly Russian though, not westernised fusion or any of that nonsense (at least half the clientele were eastern european btw, though this is Knightsbridge and half of Zuma is Russian as well…) The only thing we found they were missing was solyanka and cherry Вареники for dessert. Mari Vanna, if you're reading, I can put you in touch with my grandma for the best recipe.
(Sex on the birch, I see what you did there.)
We didn't have alcohol, but a jug of (totally disgusting imo, but my mum's choice) Kvas and a round of delicious raspberry and cranberry Mors drinks which came in lovely mismatched crystal jugs. Some of the cocktails look great and I'm sure add to the occasion (though at about £15-20 each, also the bill!).
(The Napoleon cake, a Russian version of a mille-feuille, was about about 3 times the size such a rich dessert should be, but that's not something to complain about. Have it with black tea.)
Other than the massive dessert, the portions were rather small though. I read in some early reviews that the portions were enormous, but I think they must have adjusted them following feedback. I was dithering between a few of the mains and could have easily eaten two, without side dishes.
On the downside, the service was abysmal. The wait time between getting the menus and anyone bothering to take our order was about 30 minutes and that was only after several attempts to grab the staff's attention. Once the food started to arrive, it came in weird fits and starts that were surely too random to be intentional. There's the home-style, bring everything as it's ready approach (which I love) and then there's bringing two people's main courses > then half the starters > then one more main course > then rest of the starters > then the last main course over the space of an hour. If you're splitting the menu into starters and mains, surely they should come out of the kitchen in vaguely that order, or why bother? Even the cakes we had for dessert came about 15 minutes before the tea that was supposed to accompany them. It's a pot of TEA for crying out loud, why does that take 15 minutes?! They also forgot part of my order completely, but still tried to charge for it.
The restaurant is quite small and there was a lot of staff around, so we couldn't work out what was going on with the service. Management issues maybe? Trying to get the bill and then pay it was another debacle which took f o r e v e r. We saw the table next to us having a similarly frustrating time, so it wasn't just us!
I didn't have any problems getting a table (in fact, I only booked the day before, but it was for a weird time between lunch and dinner. Dinner reservations are trickier.) but on arrival/departure/toilet trips, you could hear a constant stream of people in the hallway or on the phone that had issues with their reservation or with tables being given away.
For nearly £200 for 4 people without alcohol, I'd expect WAY better service. It is a bloody shame though, because it ruined an otherwise excellent restaurant. Hopefully they'll get it sorted because the food is REALLY good.
One of each of the pirogi, with Beef & Pork, Cabbage with egg and Sea Bass fillings.
Salad Vinegret, some of the assortment of pickles and buckwheat.
love the tea glasses in their ornate holders, reminds me of getting the overnight train between Moscow and St Petersburg.
my beef and pork pelmeni with sour cream on the side (this is a £13 main and they forgot my £6 fried potato side order, to put the prices/portion size in perspective). I also wanted to try the Golubtzi (stuffed vine leaves) and Вареники (savoury dumplings), which I bet would be good. Basically anything that's a small pastry or a dumpling is my favourite, which is why I also fucking love dim sum.
The herby garlicy butter that came with the bread was amazing, I was piling it on like it was cream cheese.
This and the two below are the bathroom, isn't it the coolest?
In case you were wondering how the decor stacks up against a real Russian or Ukrainian grandma, below is what my babushka's house looks like. They definitely know what they're doing.
I'd love to hear any Russian (or Eastern European, I'm not fussy) restaurant suggestions for London. I've been to Baltic for drinks (highly recommended!) and hoping to make it there for food soon. My Russian pal has recommended Nikita's in South Ken. Anywhere else?
Further afield, I've been to the quite famous Russian Tea Rooms in NYC (pretty good) and my parents raved about Pasternak in Berlin on their trip a few months ago.
If nothing else, this inspired my mum to visit a Russian supermarket and she's promising us a proper home cooked russian evening when we're next round. She sent me this picture this morning ^__________^ GET IN MY MOUTH Зефир!

Cold conditions don't dampen Opening Day excitement
CHICAGO -- Billy Butler ambled through the Royals' clubhouse before Monday's opener with a baseball undershirt in his hand.
"Do you have any sweatshirts that are thicker than this?" he asked a clubhouse attendant.
That seemed to be the Opening Day theme for the cold mid-afternoon inaugural contest at U.S. Cellular Field. Ski caps, hoodies and long johns were the order of the day. Ah, good ol' batting gloves.
"The cold weather's good -- I ain't kiddin' ya, man" manager Ned Yost said. "Back in the days when we were competing for championships every year in Atlanta and in Milwaukee, when it started to get cold it just signaled something inside of you: 'Hey, it's getting that time.'
"We're out of the hot weather, into the cold weather where it's that change in your body that says, 'Hey, it's for real now.' That's what it does -- it changes your approach, subconsciously."
The sun was out and the game-time temperature was 44 degrees. Is such weather harder on the hitters or the pitchers?
"I think it's tough for both guys. Pitchers, it's tough to get a good grip and hitters, it's tough to keep those hands warm," first baseman Eric Hosmer said. "So it's probably about the same for each."
And, yes, the bat might sting the hands a bit.
"If you hit a certain spot, maybe get jammed or something, it'll sting a little longer than a normal summer day, but most of us have played in the Midwest, in the Minor Leagues and opened up there, so we have a pretty good idea of what it's like," Hosmer said.
"I think the pitchers do have the advantage," pitcher Bruce Chen said, "because once we get warmed up, we stay warm. It doesn't bother us or affect us as much. But the hitters are out there in the cold, they come back in and they have to hit and the hands are cold and they're not moving as good. Now, if you make bad pitches, everyone will get you but everything being equal and everyone being ready, I think pitchers have the advantage."
Right fielder Jeff Francoeur says players largely disregard the elements.
"We've all played in it. Last year, we were lucky and got to play in L.A. and it was 72 and this year we're playing in cold weather," Francoeur said. "But when you get out there and the juices get flowing, sure it's a little cold, your hands are cold but we've got the heaters in the dugout and you're going to be so amped up, who cares?"
And, as all quickly pointed out, the White Sox were playing in the same conditions.
"It's always fun, Opening Day is a blast," Francoeur said. "I always tell people: If you win or lose on Opening Day, it's not the end of the year. It doesn't mean the Rangers aren't going to make the playoffs because they lost [Sunday] night, but it's always fun just to get the regular season going and get some regular season at-bats."

Cam rollers
SKF cam rollers (yoke-type track rollers based on ball bearings) are available in two main designs and also as variants of these:
Cam roller features
Accommodate high radial loads
The thick-walled outer ring enables high radial loads, while reducing distortion and bending stresses.
Accommodate tilting moments
Double row cam rollers accommodate higher tilting moments than single row cam rollers.
Long service life
The crowned outer ring running surface is beneficial for applications where outer ring tilting relative to the track may occur or where edge stresses need to be minimized.
- Relatively high speed capability

Cooking up the ODI team

It?s a nagging ache. Match after match we stumble upon the same problems. It?s the same obstacles that are hampering our drive to win more one-day matches. And despairingly, the last three ODI matches in the Windies have not produced any substantial progress. Batting and collapses are not strange bedfellows in Bangladesh cricket. Also, the continuing saga of the openers still remains the main stumbling block and we have tried all possible combinations: Alok with Rana; Bidyut with Sarkar; Ash with Sarker. You name it and Bangladesh has tried it. So what are the few options left to the selectors?

ODI Openers [MH = Mehrab, JO = Javed Omar, HS = Hannan Sarker, AS = Al Sahariar, SH = Shahriar Hossain, and AH = Anisul Hakim] Credit: Zunaid
Let?s spend some time to break down exactly what is the problem with Bangladesh in one-day cricket? Well, it is simply the batting. More poignantly, it is batting with frenzy that we see in teams such as Sri Lanka and Australia. On a more upbeat note, we are seeing our bowlers, and in particular the recent matches, regularly restricting sides to around 250 and under. But as a futile counter response, our batsmen repeatedly struggle to notch up those runs. For the prevailing mentality of the team seems to be still in the ?survival? mode.
It could very well be that this is still a legacy of adapting the players to the new situation of a test-playing nation. Whatmore, I believe is still groping for the right game plan. Based on the coach?s experience with other teams he has coached he has few options left.
Different strategies may be needed to make the Bangladesh team more competitive. How about the ?Aggressive approach?? The word around is that Bangladesh does not have the consistency in batting to justify a top order assault within the first 15 overs. Hitting ability of the batsmen who were lower down the order precluded that such an aggressive endeavour could be justified. However, observing the newfound vigour of our lower order, Whatmore might actually revive the tactic of a full first 15 over offense. The top six, I believe, are ready to play the full 50 overs and score at a decent rate. But more importantly, if Rafique and Pilot do consistently manage to repeat the sort of rearguard revival that we saw in the Windies, then it gives more room to the openers to adjust their style to be more aggressive.
A pair of openers competent in various strokes is required. And if perfect balance, coordination and certainty of execution were accepted as the principal ingredients of batsmanship, then we must find such a man for the role. A solution that is most likely is the introduction of Ashraful as an opener. A lot of people are dead against it but there is an element of sanity in it.
In Rajin, we have another player who is slowly fitting into his role as the anchor of the one-day team. He has kept to his usual approach of caution mixed with aggression. He is a living example that there are different approaches taken by batsmen to achieve success in the one-day game. The team just needs to mould a strategy based around players like Rajin and Bashar, two opposites in every sense, but way too important for the future of the team. So we will have a lot of players who do take the singles and on the other hand persistent hookers such as Bashar playing till their time in the team is up.
There was a lot of discussion about the team selection for the upcoming Asia cup and one of the main points made was the number of batsmen in the team make up. Do we play three or four batsmen, two specialist batsmen? And where do the all-rounders come in?
Throughout our long struggle in the ODI games I always felt that we were ?always? short of batsmen. In previous occasions we have seen too many times Sujon, Mushfiq and other specialist seamers, hogging the limelight. Having that many extra part-time spinners is a bowler too many. But having said that, I believe we will see more spinners in the guise of Rafiq and it is a right strategy. If we could find spinners with exceptional batting skills then we are well on our way to coming up with the right team for the different pitches that ODI will eventually be played in.
In this respect the advent of Razzak in the upcoming Asia cup is exciting. His inclusion in the Windies tour was justified even though he sat in the benches throughout. The selectors are making a conscious effort to bring in these youngsters out there, even if they are not playing. Razzak, I strongly believe got a lot out if the tour as he has seen the demands and the intricacies of international matches and will be better prepared the day he does come into the field in Sri Lanka. Furthermore, he is the right type of bowler for the Lankan conditions and the selectors will be hoping for some glimpses of batting from the young man.
Lastly, a growing and disturbing trend among cricketing nations is to field almost completely different teams for Test matches and One day Internationals. A reassuring aspect of our new selectors is that they are actually quite sympathetic to the wishes and plight of the players. For the players selected for the shorter version of the game are no less talented than those who are selected for Test duty. In other countries, some players (for example the case of Mark Ramprakash of England and on some occasions Powell of West Indies) have been omitted from the test teams. The unofficial reason always is: lack the staying power and the ability to concentrate for longer periods of time. This is unfair. These young men are being branded as One Day players by the selectors. And the criterion is the elusive tag of ?stability?. If this is the criterion we might end up with youngsters who are not given a fair chance to mature and develop. Just wonder how you would feel when left out from ?the? essence of the game that is ?test? cricket.
We see again and again some players (no names mentioned), who have got to the highest level by sheer luck given their lackluster performances. It's time to open up to the men with the true qualities of endurance, determination and sheer will to succeed.

Kucinich pushes for peace in Libya
"The president violated the Constitution, by taking us to war without asking us," he told The Hill. "He also violated the War Powers Act. And NATO has been in active violation of the UN mandate.
[Global: Libya]
In an interview with The Hill, Kucinich said his bill would offer a peaceful alternative for political reform in Libya, where the government of Moammar Gadhafi is in a civil war with rebels. The U.S. has been involved in NATO air strikes on Gadhafi troops.
Kucinich said a key element of his proposal is to begin a political dialogue that leads to democratic reforms in Libya. But he said this can only happen along with an end to military operations.
"There has to be a verifiable cease-fire," Kucinich said. "NATO has to stop. And the U.S. and other allies have to stop the attacks." Kucinich's new bill follows his introduction of a privileged resolution that would call on the United States to end its military presence in Libya. Kucinich is hopeful this resolution can be taken up on the House floor by mid-June and said he will soon discuss with Republican leaders the chances of having a floor debate on that resolution.
Kucinich is also pushing for an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) this week that would block the funding of military activities in Libya. As Kucinich's own amendment was not made in order by House Republicans, he said he will support a similar amendment offered by Rep. Scott Garrett (R-N.J.).
But it remains unclear whether any of these lines of attack can work, as House Republican leaders have yet to indicate whether they have any interest in policing the Obama administration's decision to engage in military operations in Libya. Kucinich said this week's vote on the Garrett amendment will be a good indication of how badly House Republicans would like to exert their influence on Libya.
For Kucinich, the issue is cut and dried. "The president violated the Constitution, by taking us to war without asking us," he told The Hill. "He also violated the War Powers Act. And NATO has been in active violation of the UN mandate.
"And so you have a carnival of lawbreaking going on, among international players, which I think in the end endangers NATO itself," he added. "There are so many international players here with their own objectives that this starts to look like a game of clue."
Within the U.S., Kucinich believes the administration has violated the War Powers Act by going to war in the absence of an imminent threat to the U.S. and has further violated it by failing to seek congressional approval after a 60-day period outlined in the WPA.
Kucinich said he has no explanation of why there is not a broader interest in Congress in using the WPA as a check against the administration's actions. There is some interest, as evidenced by Garrett's amendment and complaints on the House floor over the past few weeks.
As recently as Wednesday morning, Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) also lamented the lack of congressional input into Libya, as did Rep. Lynn Woolsey (D-Calif.), who said, "I've had enough of this state of permanent warfare."
Kucinich is hopeful U.S. efforts in Libya will ultimately have to be pulled back as these sentiments grow, and because of their growing cost.
"I think this thing's going to collapse because of the cost of it," he said. "We're on a very tight budget, with a huge deficit, and we're preaching fiscal austerity to everyone, but not practicing it."

RALEIGH � A Forsyth County state senator is considering whether to enter the already crowded Republican U.S. Senate primary next year. Sen. Pete Brunstetter said he's doing so after Senate leader Phil Berger, who is also weighing a similar bid, asked him recently to think about it.
Brunstetter, who within the GOP majority at the legislature became one of the Senate's three chief budget writers, said he has no exact timetable for deciding on joining the field that's seeking to take on Democratic incumbent Kay Hagan. But he pointed out that Hagan announced her decision to enter the U.S. Senate race six years ago in late October.
"I think that the dynamics are very similar to that race," Brunstetter wrote by email.
Four people already are seeking the GOP nomination, most notably House Speaker Thom Tillis of Cornelius and Baptist State Convention president the Rev. Mark Harris of Charlotte.
Brunstetter, 57 and a corporate attorney at the high-powered Womble Carlyle law firm, said he and Berger won't compete against each other in a primary.
"We will not be in the same race," Brunstetter said Tuesday night. Even if Berger declines to run, Brunstetter added, "it is not automatic that I will."
Berger didn't return a phone message seeking comment. Ray Martin, a spokesman for Berger on political matters, said Wednesday that Berger is still undecided on the statewide race, "but in the event he doesn't run would be very supportive of" Brunstetter.
Berger, R-Rockingham, has put off an announcement for a couple of months now. But he raised eyebrows when he began running a television commercial last week that praises the elections overhaul law the General Assembly passed this summer but also criticizes Hagan for opposing it.
Berger's potential recruitment of Brunstetter raises questions about the level of interest that the Eden attorney has in running himself. It also indicates Berger is actively seeking another primary rival for Tillis, who has the most extensive campaign operation so far. Some party activists consider Tillis too moderate.
Tillis and Berger have been complimentary of each other in public about the legislative accomplishments in the other's chamber this year. But there have been the typical House-Senate rivalries, with House Republicans more aligned with GOP Gov. Pat McCrory than the Senate, which has been cooler to the new governor.
Cary obstetrician Dr. Greg Brannon and family nurse practitioner Heather Grant of Wilkes County also are running for the GOP primary.

NEW YORK — Derek Jeter was not going to take it easy, not after spending 91 agonizing games sidelined with a broken ankle. That's not Jeter.
At 39 years old, the New York Yankees captain might not have been ready to return to the team at his desired level of play.
In his first game this season, Jeter strained his right quadriceps in his third at-bat Thursday. He will now miss the weekend series against Minnesota, and New York will not rule out a return to the disabled list.
"It's frustrating. I don't know what else you want me to say," Jeter said in a statement Friday. "I worked hard to get to the point of rejoining the team yesterday. It's not how you draw it up, but hopefully I'll be back out there soon and help this team win some games."
After just four rehabilitation games, the Yankees pushed up the star shortstop's return a day when Brett Gardner and Travis Hafner got hurt Wednesday night. Jeter had been telling the team he was ready to return, and general manager Brian Cashman said reports from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre were positive.
So Jeter returned to a huge ovation and beat out an infield hit in his first at-bat. He also scored a run and had an RBI on a groundout that ended in a close play at first. He was pinch hit for in the eighth inning.
"The way the game unraveled in his first two at-bats, they were go get'em situations and Derek's going to do everything he can to succeed, and his body said not yet," Cashman said. "Is that because of his age or more so maybe what he's coming back from? ...It's hard to say."
Either way, Jeter is out again. An MRI showed a grade one strain.
Jeter, of course, was against going straight to the disabled list. The plan is to keep the shortstop out for the three-game series against the Twins, and then he'll have four days for the All-Star break to receive further treatment before the Yankees reevaluate. After the break, they start a series at Boston on July 19.
"We'll have to give it some time and see how he responds," said Cashman, who said Jeter's ankle was fine.
Cashman wouldn't blame age as a factor for Jeter's latest injury: "I don't want to say it's Father Time knocking on his door."
But manager Joe Girardi was realistic about how he uses the Yankees all-time hits leader.
"I don't think it's a guy that you can run out there 40, 50 days in a row like you used to," Girardi said. "You're going to have to manage that."
In a season full makeshift lineups because of absent former All-Stars, the Yankees appear to have been sankebit twice.
Call it DL 2.0.
Jeter joins Mark Teixeira (wrist surgery), outfielder Curtis Granderson (broken pinkie) and catcher Francisco Cervelli (broken hand), who've been hurt and then had setbacks or second injuries.
Teixeira returned briefly before season-ending surgery. Cervelli developed a stress reaction and is shut down for now. Granderson, who broke his forearm in his first at-bat in spring training only to be hit again after eight games back, was just cleared Thursday to take dry swings, Cashman said.
Alex Rodriguez (hip surgery) was due to play seven innings for Class-A Tampa on Friday night. He's just 2 for 15 in his rehab assignment with one RBI.
Cashman was eager to get his stars back but with all the setbacks and uncertainty, he can expect to explore trades as the deadline approaches July 31.
"When they're healthy they're getting plugged in," Cashman said. "And we'll be willing to sink or swim with them but don't misunderstand that we're not going to try to reinforce other aspects when we can, if we can. But we really do look forward to getting those guys back."
Either way, Girardi thinks the team, which is 50-42 despite all the missed time, will do just fine.
"This group has been pretty good about moving on," he said.
Jeter to miss weekend series with quad strain
NEW YORK — Derek Jeter was not going to take it easy, not after spending 91 agonizing games sidelined with a broken ankle. That's not Jeter.

I used up my last mini-tub of Campagnolo grease about 30 years ago. Back then I think it cost a wallet-draining $15, but now it's $50 for 100 ml! Is it worth it? Of course not.
I have a can of Valvoline grease I bought 30 years ago and it kept my Campagnolo hubs running smoothly all that time. Cost about $3. Those hubs are still as good as new. I repacked them only once a year.
So what is grease, anyway? It's oil that's held in a thickening agent, or emulsifier, usually soap. Now that's weird. When shear forces come into play, the grease breaks down and releases its oil.
[I stopped using car oil. It's too thick for today's chains. Buy a bike chain lubricant.] As you might have guessed, I use car oil to lubricate my chain. I haven't bought bike oil forever. Even if you don't change your car oil, just go to a jiffy lube shop and ask for some empty containers, which always have a dab of oil inside.
Car oil may not be the best lubricant for delicate gears, such as a Sturmey-Archer hub, but other than that, it works as well as any specialty bike oil. I would not use WD-40. It contains solvents, kerosene and liquified petroleum gas that break down oil. It's great for loosening rusty parts though.

This month, Lexus revealed the NX, an all-new model that encapsulates three of the brand's most important efforts to remain a big player in the increasingly competitive luxury market.
The NX is the brand's first entry into the red-hot small crossover segment. It's the first Lexus with a turbocharged engine, and the latest step in a years-long effort to make cars that appeal to drivers' sense of style.
Jumping Into A Red-Hot Segment
The SUV and crossover market is "bread and butter to us," Lexus Corporate Manager of Marketing Communications Brian Bolain told Business Insider at the New York Auto Show last week. But the cars have been mostly popular among Americans.
"For such a long time, it was a specifically U.S. phenomenon," Bolain said. Now, "there's just suddenly an immense desire for small crossovers." This "is probably the first time I remember seeing one segment on fire globally, at an equal pace ... across Europe, across Asia, across North America."
So it's no surprise the competition will be fierce. By Jalopnik's count, 20 crossover models and concept debuted at the Beijing Auto Show this week. A bunch more had their coming out parties at the New York show.
More Power, Less Fuel
The all-new NX is not only the first small crossover from Lexus, it's the first time the brand has offered a turbocharged engine. Turbos have picked up in popularity in recent years thanks to their ability to deliver more power along with improved fuel efficiency.
The NX will also come as a hybrid. (A model with a naturally aspirated 2.o-liter engine will be available in China and Russia.) Among the luxury brands, Lexus has been particularly successful in the hybrid market, selling more than half a million units to date. That's where its focus will remain, according to Bolain. "There's no plan currently" to start making electric or diesel-powered cars," he said. "We're still really reliant on hybrid."
Sexier Design
For the past two years, since the introduction of the fourth generation GS sedan, Lexus has been making a special effort to build cars with a real sense of style. No more slab-sided cars — Lexus wants to present a "more youthful, certainly more contemporary, more innovative" image, Bolain said.
Customers interviewed before the launch of the NX "wanted to focus on how they look in it," Bolain said — so style is key. Not everyone will like the look of the little crossover, but it definitely has character.
The NX will go on sale in the second half of 2014. Pricing hasn't been announced, but expect it to be below the $39,760 MSRP for the bigger Lexus RX.

The old guy grabbed a couple packs of Goldenberg Peanut Chews and a can of his RC Cola the other day and jumped into his old DeSoto. Once a month, the DeSoto needs to stretch its legs and Insider usually just heads south on Route 113 because it's an easy drive and he's ensured of not getting lost. That is until he took a detour due to road construction and ended up in Princess Anne. Insider had to stop and ask for directions on how to find his way back home. Next time the old guy will just head west on Route 50. He likes his chances there.
The birds outside the old guy's kitchen window are delighted with the new bird seed he offered them the other day. It was a different brand than he normally buys, but it's going over well. Each morning he opens the window and enjoys the chirping and singing along with his boiled coffee. The cardinals, blue jays and blackbirds are attracted by the larger seeds and the sparrows and wrens delight in the smaller feed. For some reason, the jaybirds and robins aren't the least bit interested in the daily feeding. They're there but apparently prefer hunting their own food.
Insider does not know much about the mating season of the birds, but they sure seem up to something. They have been busy for the last couple weekends building nests in the old guy's birdhouses. There they are bringing back feathers, leaves and whatever they can get in their mouths. They go at it for hours, stopping every once in a while to eat and get a sip of water out of the bird bath. When they are really busy, nothing can get their attention, even the mean old squirrel that comes into the bird feeding area every now and again and steals some feed.
Insider has seen this before. Soon the birds will not be bringing back feathers and leaves, rather they will be bringing back food for the little ones nestled safely in the bird house. Their little heads will be poking out, crying, eyes still not formed, seeking out food. Only a couple will make it, maybe just one. Only the strong will survive, most likely the one that's able to get its head out of the bird house first to meet the incoming meal. Soon after they will all be gone and replaced by another family that looks just like the last one.

After 27 years of entertaining families and competing for attention with Shamu, Rita the Manatee has been released from Orlando's Sea World, and will spend the rest of her days in a Florida State Park.
"Every manatee that comes, it's our ultimate goal to have them released. We want to make them better and have them released," says Scott Gearhart, a Sea World veterinarian. Rita was brought to the park in 1982 after losing one of her flippers while entangled in fishing gear. She will be tracked for a year, in order to ensure that she can make it in the wild after being held in captivity for so long. Good luck, Rita! [UPI]


text: Oh hello. Here is another one of those comic strips the whole gang is talking about. Did you know we are up to twenty three fans on the face books? Of course, the face books are the only kind of books that matter in todays post information age economy. The post information age is all about having the infrastructure in place for transmitting all sorts of useful information to better human society, but not actually having useful information and so instead using that very same infrastructure to tell strangers about the shower you just took. Not that I'm complaining, or even trying to say we're wasting resources here. No news is good news, and the cute thing your cat just did isn't really news.

Sweden is the best country in the world at making the web work for its citizens, whilst Yemen and Zimbabwe are the least effective, according to a new global survey backed by the inventor of the world wide web, Tim Berners-Lee.
The web index, as it is known, claims to be the "most comprehensive effort yet" to measure the impact of the web around the world and how it is changing people's lives.
It ranks countries by how much benefit their citizens derive from the web and how it has transformed areas such as politics, economics and society. It also assesses any barriers a country has to allowing its citizens to access a free and open web, finding that around 30% of countries face some sort of government restriction.
The survey also revealed that just one in three people use the web globally, a number that drops to fewer than one in six in Africa.
Sir Tim is the public face of the new index, but it was economist Hania Farhan who was tasked with building it.
BBC Future caught up with her to find out how it was done and what it all means.
Why build the web index?
Tim Berners-Lee and others at the Web Foundation noticed there were lots of stories and anecdotes about how the web had transformed people's lives through education, social networks, politics and so on. But there was very little data as such. So they said "why don't we try to come up with an index to measure the value of the web and its impact on people?" That was where I came in. I had been working on the Ibrahaim index of African governance [which annually ranks the quality of governance in Africa] for three years. My background is as a quantitative policy economist and I had experience of building those kinds of things.
Where did you start?
You start from the basic idea of how do you, as an individual, get value from the web. We broke it down into three basic components – infrastructure, content and impact. The first thing you need is to get on to the web. So, a country needs the communications infrastructure – broadband or a mobile device, electricity, access to computers etc. Then you also want the institutional infrastructure - you need to have a minimum level of literacy, you need freedom of access and you need to have policies that allow that freedom of access. With those two in place you are online. And then what? Then you need relevant content in a language you understand to be able to use it. So if I get on the web and it is all in Russian, I get zero value as I do not understand Russian, sadly. Then finally the third layer, which is arguably the most relevant - and the one we put the most emphasis on in the model - is the impact. That is measured in terms of political, social, economic, developmental impact etc.
We then simply went out and scoured databases - from the likes of the World Bank, the UN, the ITU, the World Economic Forum, Reporters without Borders, Freedom House, etc - to find indicators to populate these various components of the index. In the end we chose 34 indicators from the data we found.
Were there any questions you just couldn't answer or find data for?
Some of the questions that many people kept asking were 'how many pages are on the web?' and 'how many pages are there in each language?' Those data do not exist because there is no centralised unit - a web central intelligence unit of sorts. When we looked at other questions, especially in the area of web impact, we could also see that there was a massive data gap. So, I said let's gather our own data. We identified experts in all 61 countries and asked them about 60 questions. For example, is the web used for political mobilisation in your country? They were all then reviewed by other experts to make sure that the scores were consistent and had evidence to back them up. That gave us another 51 indicators and allowed us to plug some of the gaps in the data.
All of the data was then put through the model - which weights different elements - to come up with the final scores.
What was the result?
In first place was Sweden, followed by the US, UK, Canada and Finland in that order. But taking into account margins of error, the four after Sweden are really not much different from each other. At the bottom, were Yemen, Zimbabwe, Burkina Faso, Benin and Ethiopia.
What does it mean to be the top country or even the bottom country?
That is the question isn't it? The idea is that if you are at the top, then the people in that country are - according to this index - getting the most value from the web. And at the bottom they are getting the least value. The index is a tool for leaders and policy makers so that they can use the web much more effectively to improve people's lives, be it economic, social or political. For example, a policy maker sitting in Iceland or Italy may look at Sweden's ranking and ask why does the web seem to serve the people of Sweden apparently better than it does their own people... and therefore what can we do about it to make our citizens better served by the web?. They can zoom into the indicators and see how they can change their country's performance. Similarly, Ghana might ask why Kenya ranks higher than it does. The lower you are in the rankings, the more indicators you may want to change to affect the lives of the people in that country.
Some people may look at the index and see countries like China in 29th place ranking higher than they might expect, and countries like Japan and Korea [in 20th and 13th places respectively] ranking lower than you might expect. Can you explain this?
The web index is an average number calculated from lots of underlying indicators. A country could therefore do relatively well in one or more area, say economic impact, but relatively poorly in other areas, say political impact. So, on average, it will score not so badly, but not so well either. In fact, China scores relatively poorly in the political and institutional components, but middling in all other areas. Hence, overall, on average, it ranks in the middle. Also, we need to keep in mind that rankings are always relative to how other countries are doing. They do not just reflect that country's own performance, but its performance relative to how the others are doing.
Why were there only 61 countries included?
One of the reasons was getting consistent and comparable data. But to be honest, we were also limited on resources. Google kindly gave us the initial seed funding, but it is expensive to do this kind of thing, particularly collecting your own data. And so we ended up being able to choose close to 65 but we had to leave out a couple because we weren't too happy with the results. We had to get a spread of countries across the different continents. So it wasn't an active decision for instance to leave out Denmark or Saudi Arabia. We just needed to make a decision given the resources and the time limitations we had.
The whole thing is framed in a very positive way, as if the web only has positive impacts. But there are also negative effects, like cybercrime and censorship. Did you take these into account?
The negative impacts are a very important aspect to include. The problem was that there is so little data. There is anecdote and sometimes there is country specific data, but, as far as we could see, there hasn't been much work done on that. For example, to what extent has criminal activity increased as a result of the web? We could not actually find any data for a large enough country sample for multiple years to be included. So, all we could do was put in a few questions in our own data survey. We have two questions – basically to what extent do you think that the web is making it easier to undertake criminal activities in your country and then the other side which is: are there laws against cybercrime in your country. So in answering that question, any expert needs to consider: do those laws exist and how effectively are they implemented.
Of course we need many more questions answered in this area. Also, for now, the questions are framed in that way because they need to take into account cultural differences. That is a very difficult thing, which you have to handle very carefully. For example, how do you factor in that gambling is illegal in some countries? Framing the questions was actually one of the most difficult parts of designing the survey.
Will you try to fill these gaps in subsequent years?
One of the things I would like to do is for sure add more countries and add more survey questions to cover more of the areas, as well as the negative effects. We also want to work with other organisations that produce data that cover some of the dimensions of the web index and ask them to help us cover more countries. For example, Reporters without Borders produce something called Enemies of the Internet. It is totally descriptive and it covers a relatively small number of countries, meaning we can't use it. So we need to work with organisations like them to expand the country coverage and try to quantify their results.
Finally, you openly admit you are not a "techie". Was that a problem?
When I was first asked to construct and produce the index I told the Web Foundation that I wasn't sure that I was the right person, as I had no clue about the back end of a computer. But they said that was not a problem and, in fact, it was my other skills they needed. I could see things from the point of view of the average user, and the index is targeted at a far wider audience than just techies. I would love to know how to write code and programme, and one day I might learn, but for now, I'm just about managing to keep up with their "special language".

I'm sorry if this is in the wrong forum but I couldn't find a place for questions on java web start. Anyway...
I have a java application uploaded as a JWS program: Maze Mania
Under the MazeMania folder, I have:
I also have a "classes" folder in here with all my un-jarred class files in the appropriate packages (folders), but I don't think they're being used.
My html file looks like this:
<html> <head> <title>Maze Mania</title> </head> <body> <script src="http://www.java.com/js/deployJava.js"></script> <script> // using JavaScript to get location of JNLP file relative to HTML page var dir = location.href.substring(0, location.href.lastIndexOf('/')+1); var url = dir + "MazeMania.jnlp"; deployJava.createWebStartLaunchButton(url, '1.6.0'); </script> </body> </html>
My jnlp file looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <jnlp spec="1.0+" codebase="http://www.shahspace.com/JWS/MazeMania" href="MazeMania.jnlp"> <information> <title>Maze Mania</title> <vendor>Gibran shah</vendor> </information> <resources> <!-- Application Resources --> <j2se version="1.6+" href="http://java.sun.com/products/autodl/j2se"/> <jar href="MazeMania.jar" main="true" /> </resources> <application-desc name="Maze Mania" main-class="classes.Main"> </application-desc> <update check="background"/> </jnlp>
The jar file was created with the following command:
jar cvf MazeMania.jar classes
This was just above the classes folder. In the folder was the class file Main.class along with all subfolders containing class files belonging to whatever package was named after that folder. The jar file was then uploaded to my server.
The problem is that when I try to launch this from the website, it says that it cannot find the Main class. Can anyone see why?
P.S. - I tried changing main-class="classes.Main" to main-class="Main" but I get the same error.

A Skeptic Takes on the Wine-Bar Boom

Cory Briggs' real estate
Brian Maienschein, now a friend to big labor
Matt Potter 12:30 p.m., Dec. 11
I know, it works, it must, otherwise why would they persist -- but that doesn't make hawkers any less annoying. I was strolling down the sidewalk in Little Italy, eager to finally see how my neighborhood location for Davanti Enoteca measured up to my experience at Davanti Del Mar. The only thing in my way was a loud man with an exaggerated and very fake Italian accent shouting at me using hackneyed clichés such as "Bella!" and "Buongiorno!" even though it was early evening.
But, once we got past the hawker (don't touch me, dude, and please, for the love of all things actually Italian, like my great-grandparents, knock it off with that terrible accent), David and I were led to the quiet, relaxing, olive-tree adorned patio in the back to dine al fresco. On the patio, the service was friendly and the lights among the olive tree branches twinkled; the relaxation we felt was reminiscent of our trips to Europe, though we were but a few miles away from home.
During the summer, we're always looking for a good place to chill, sip wine, and graze on artisinal cheese and cured meats, and in Davanti, we'd found exactly that. I was very happy when, one recent Wednesday evening, we returned to find no hawker at the door, just the wide entrance, a brief moment of waiting, and the appearance of a friendly face to lead us to our seats. When it became clear we were being led to an indoor seat, I requested we be rerouted to the patio, where there just happened to be a table for two right beside the olive tree.
I'd been craving the "toad in the hole" ever since our last visit, though the restaurant doesn't call it that. On the menu, it's "truffle egg toast, fontina, and asparagus." I get mine without the truffle part.
David had been craving another specialty -- the "focaccia di recco," which is thin dough filled with a ricotta-like cheese and served with honey to complement the savoriness.
We were happy we took our servers suggestion to sample the refreshing, perfect-for-eating-outdoors salad comprising heirloom tomatoes, thinly sliced watermelon, avocado, and basil.
And now, just for your enjoyment, here are some shots from other things we have tasted in our few trips to Davanti Enoteca. We can't wait to get back soon, sip wine beneath the olive tree, and continue to browse the menu.

Maryland Attorney General Doug Gansler (D) announced Friday that Maryland will recognize same-sex marriages performed legally in Utah between the time the U.S. District Court for Utah found the state's marriage-equality ban unconstitutional and when the U.S. Supreme Court ordered a halt to such marriages as the state appeals the ruling.
In a letter responding to a Jan. 9 request from the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), the nation's largest LGBT civil rights organization, Gansler said that Maryland would treat as valid those same-sex marriage performed in Utah between Dec. 20, 2013, and Jan. 6, prior to the stay. Gansler based his confirmation on an opinion he issued in 2010 that Maryland would recognize same-sex marriages legally performed elsewhere, though Maryland did not give same-sex couples access to marriage licenses until 2013. Gansler also noted in his letter to HRC that the Maryland Court of Appeals reached the same conclusion in a 2012 ruling.
Maryland Attorney General Doug Gansler
"Although the U.S. Supreme Court, on January 6, 2014, stayed the effect of the district court order pending resolution of the litigation … it did not invalidate the marriages that were entered into in Utah during the period of time in which the district court's order was in place," Gansler wrote to HRC President Chad Griffin. "Those marriages were validly entered into, as is reflected in statements that Gov. Herbert and Utah Attorney General Sean D. Reyes have made since the district court's order and recently confirmed."
Gansler continued, saying that although same-sex marriages may not be solemnized in Utah for the time being, and existing same-sex marriages are not eligible for state benefits, there has been no court ruling or opinion issued by Reyes in his capacity as Utah Attorney General that the marriages that previously occurred are no longer valid. Gansler cited a letter, authored by Reyes, that was sent to county attorneys and county clerks throughout Utah advising that such marriages were recognized at the time the ceremonies were performed and recommended that the clerks issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples "as an administrative function and not a legal function" that would allow those couples to have their marriages recognized in states with marriage equality. Thus, Gansler ruled, since the marriages are still valid, Maryland will recognize them.
"It is an affront to the idea of basic human rights that the battle for full marriage equality in this country remains in headlines and courtrooms," Gansler said in his letter to HRC. "Nevertheless, as courts and legislatures accord same-sex couples the dignity and humanity they deserve, we as a nation move closer to fulfilling the Constitution's promise of equal protection of the law. Maryland will continue to recognize valid out-of-state same-sex marriages as we continue to advance that effort wherever and whenever we can."
Gansler's pronouncement of how Maryland will treat Utah marriages comes just hours after U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder released a video statement saying that the federal government will recognize and make eligible for federal benefits the nearly 1,300 same-sex marriages performed in Utah prior to the Supreme Court-issued stay.
