No need to panic
GAA smart enough to know that alienating grass-roots core with Sky deal would destroy very principles that make it special
Published 29/03/2014 | 02:30
You didn't have to belong to the Christian-right of GAA politics to swallow a little hard this week at stories that Sky Sports are at the negotiation table for championship TV rights.
Rumour holds that Rupert Murdoch may be close to securing a 10-game package, including two All-Ireland quarter-finals, as the GAA continues to flirt with murmurs of a future contaminated by pay-per-view.
It is hard to think of a more inflammatory philosophical leap open to the Association than that of charging its members for the privilege of watching games from their own sofas.
In Pennsylvania last September, Paraic Duffy spoke of making live internet coverage of Gaelic games more internationally accessible, "particularly in North America".
The director general was answering questions about a looming process that has been complicated in recent years by the growing commercial clamour for access to the GAA product.
Where once any negotiation about TV rights could be concluded over a bottle of good wine in Montrose, there are now small multiples of suitors.
So this week's story set a lot of alarm bells ringing, hinting as it did at the prospect of Sky being awarded exclusive access to something on the GAA calendar.
Whether that prospect is actually real, only those privy to the negotiations yet know. I suspect it isn't.
While I would never pretend to know Duffy or president Liam O'Neill well, I have dealt with both often enough to sense that neither needs reminding of the duty of trust they carry towards the broader GAA community.
Both understand that, for all the world of marketing opportunities, the Association is still fundamentally about sense of place and collective self-fulfillment.
When Duffy spoke in America, he didn't sound like a man preoccupied with bleeding the glitz and razzmatazz of big championship days for all he could. He spoke only of simplifying access for the great Irish diaspora.
This may be deemed a naive interpretation, but the real naivety would surely be to imagine that the GAA ecosystem would not be impossibly corrupted by forcing TV subscription charges upon its members, albeit the current Allianz League arrangement with Setanta has thrown up that very issue.
How in all honesty could such an act this summer be reconciled with the code of volunteerism sustaining the Association at grass-roots level? How could it be sold to amateur players?
The trouble, I suspect, is that by even having Sky on the premises right now, the GAA toys with an accusation that they may simply be testing the water for future opportunity.
But what is the alternative? Pushing a crucifix in their faces? The Association would be guilty of rank poor business sense if neglecting the opportunity to explore what Sky can do for them on the basis of some fundamentalist view that dining with them is akin to dining with the devil.
That said, they must know they are toying with the faith of their people here.
Granting Sky exclusive access to anything on the GAA calendar will betray that faith.
Likewise, facilitating the imposition of exorbitant charges on the Irish abroad will speak of a profound failure to understand what it is that sustains the organisation they represent.
Market analysts believe that accessing a much wider overseas audience could fatten the TV kitty significantly beyond the annual €10m reputed to be the current figure.
So would Sky be interested in the international rights for a game being broadcast live at home on RTE, BBC or TV3?
Would they be interested in pursuing a measure of profit from those same rights that falls short of going to the Irish abroad with balaclavas on their heads?
If the answer to neither question is in the affirmative, they should – as a matter of urgency – be handed their coats.
Hard to watch old master Harrington struggle
THERE has been something deeply demoralising about Padraig Harrington's vain scramble to play himself into a starting slot at next month's Masters tournament in Augusta.
When Harrington's game deserts him he looks like someone searching for his shoes in the dark. All the calm majesty that billowed through his play six years ago is now no more than a beautiful memory.
For 18 months of his life, Harrington was arguably the most accomplished golfer in the world. Today, he seems to represent the peril of fixing what isn't broken, of over-analysing what was maybe becoming natural expression.
It would be wonderful to see him tee up at Augusta as a contender, but that was never going to happen this year. He is 42 now, still admittedly four years younger than Jack Nicklaus was when winning his 18th Major there in '86.
But Nicklaus, at the time, had a record of winning one out of every six tournaments entered. He never slipped into the fug of confusion that characterised Harrington's final round of 80 at Bay Hill last weekend.
So better perhaps not to see Padraig at all on Masters weekend than watch him wage so publicly yet another war with himself.
Money not morals curbing golf's prejudices
HOW gloriously civilised of The Royal and Ancient to lift their heads from the sand and recommend the introduction of women members to St Andrews.
You sometimes forget the preposterously stuffy value systems that prop up a few of the game's more revered venues and, accordingly, its marquee events. No doubt the members of St Andrews, Muirfield, Troon and Royal St George's would protest that they are private clubs and, as such, free to mandate their own rules.
Quite right too. But the idea that they can do so whilst hosting a truly global event, attracting commensurate sponsorship, is where their appetite for keeping women at the gate suddenly looks unsafe.
As with almost all of the great moral sea-changes witnessed in professional sport, money is at the root of it. At Muirfield last year, the din of protest was never quite subdued despite Phil Mickelson emerging a hugely popular winner of the Open crown.
That's not a happy sound to sponsors. The men-only signs may be almost three centuries old in Scotland, but commercial imperatives can change history in seconds.

I am in for the long haul, but what is going on? Has everyone in the sane world gone nuts? The second the FDA gives the final green light, this stock is going up up up. The problem & concern I have, is that usually a stock moves in anticipation of good news. At the very least we would expect it to stay steady. The downtrend is troubling, as if to say the good news is not as close as we think.How close are we?

Diabetes Health Center
Diabetes: Lower Your Heart Disease Risk - Topic Overview
Be active
Being active is good for your diabetes and for your heart. It helps manage your blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol. And it plays a key part in controlling your weight. In turn, a healthy weight also helps control your diabetes and heart risk.
- Talk to your doctor before you start an exercise program.
- Choose a way to be active that you enjoy. Walking is a good choice if you're just starting out or your time is limited. Resistance exercise also helps to improve your fitness level and improve your blood sugar control.
- Day by day or week by week, add a little more time or effort to your activity. Build up to at least 30 minutes on most days of the week.
Watch and track your levels
- Test your blood sugar levels. Know your blood sugar goals. Test your levels at home, and get your diabetes A1c tests on schedule. Every day, do your best to keep your blood sugar about the same, within your target range.
- Know your blood pressure. For most people who have diabetes, the ideal blood pressure is below 120/80. High blood pressure is 140/80 or higher when you have diabetes. In between these two levels is called prehypertension. Many people who have diabetes or prehypertension can help lower their blood pressure by eating healthy foods, getting regular exercise, and reaching and staying at a healthy weight. If you have diabetes and your blood pressure is higher than 140/80, your treatment may also include blood pressure medicine.
- Know your cholesterol. Get your cholesterol tested on schedule. Know your LDL and HDL cholesterol numbers, and ask your doctor what your cholesterol goal is. LDL is the "bad" cholesterol, the kind that can clog your arteries. HDL is the "good" cholesterol. A high level of HDL is linked with a lower risk of having a heart attack.
- Get a urine test to check for protein. Protein in the urine can be a sign of kidney damage (diabetic nephropathy). If you have signs of kidney damage, you may also have a higher risk for heart disease.

Good stuff, like really. Personally though , i would have liked to hear more of the soft, quiet sound from the intro.. maybe towards the middle/end of the track. Keep it up man.
The piano part comes back or a bit, I don't think I could make room for it, and I wanted to keep this track pretty intense throughout.

Solicitors default on stamp duty bills
Published 05/07/2009 | 00:00
Solicitors are failing to pay the Revenue Commissioners millions of euro in stamp duty that they have received from clients.
From 2006 to 2008 the Law Society had to step in and compensate the Revenue on over 200 occasions each year after solicitors failed to pay stamp duty they had received from clients for the purchase of their houses.
However in a serious escalation of the problem in the first five months of this year solicitors have defaulted on the payment of stamp duty on over 155 occasions, Fine Gael TD Brian Hayes has discovered.
The Director General of the Law Society Ken Murphy admitted "the unravelling of the building boom means we are likely to see quite a few more cases".
He said: "The Law Society takes this very seriously."
And he warned that failure to pass on stamp duty from clients to the Revenue Commissioners "will be treated very severely".
Where a solicitor fails to pay over stamp duty for the purchase of property by a client, once the offending solicitor is 'struck off', the Law Society ultimately compensates the Revenue.
However, affected householders are still technically liable for any interest and penalties from the Revenue over the failure of the solicitor to pay the stamp duty.
Meanwhile, Ken Murphy for the Law Society warned that over the last three years twelve firms have been closed and wound up by the Law Society (to date three have been closed this year) and "in most of these practice closures there were payments made to the Revenue from the Society's Compensation Fund for unpaid stamp duty''.

Not able to send debug , including this link but saying invalid form topic
Almost every possible error is documented in the FAQ, so please take a look there first.
For your next support question or follow up on this question, please go here: http://forum.faircode.eu/
Please do not send me the debug information, until I ask for it, since it is mostly not needed (I already get tons of emails everyday). You cannot use wordpress.org as topic URL.
Thanks Marcel, I had Host Gator enable Curl on my account. They said that should fix it...
But enabling curl on my account didn't seem to rectify it after logging back in today. Going to contact them again and see if we can fix :)
Please tell me on http://forum.faircode.eu/ which error(s) you have and I will try to help you.
Hi Marcel, this is what I am getting back from host gator, not sure how to fix now?
Rebekah T.:For the error you are getting that domain is added to the curl user group. You would just want to take the error to the plugin developer and ask why it isn't working.
Here is a screen shot Marcel
I also I have the same error, I will post after entry and then updated to remove the error message

So handy & simple
Does what it says. Great support. Keep it up!
Thank you.
Fine plugin!
I miss the fine tuning the position of like button, or a simple "f" logo as a button. Otherwise it's a cool plugin!
pretty good app, it took me 5 to 10 minutes to set it up. the tutorial could be improved though
I'm using it for all of my product websites and it's a big help for automating posting and sharing on Facebook.
Just started and hope it will do what is has to do
I am happy with the performance of this plug-in. Thank you for supporting it.
This plugin works fine for me!
I like what the app does. And I like that it has a lot of users.
I'm still learning about web design, wordpress, plugins, etc. The instructions for setting up the plugin were a bit difficult to work through. Probably because the plugin instructions for setting up and additional settings page all reference older versions of Facebook. Would be helpful to have these updated.
Also, Facebook required me to go through identity confirmation. They sent me an eight digit confirmation code to enter in their field that allows six digits. After a little searching on the web, learned I could use Firebug on Mozilla Firefox to change the number of characters allowed in the field. Worked after that. Not really the plugin developers problem. Just part of my set up adventure.

wethepeople trust 2012 (black 20.5)
The Good: I think the best part is the fork because It took a lot of beating and it never bent or cracked plus it's feels very light. The cranks are really good too. Never had a problem with except a little noise it does when I pedal but It's not really disturbing. The eclat pedals are very grippy even when they wear out (because of nylon I think). Both hubs are very good, never had a problem with them. The rims are pretty solid parts in this bike. They took a lot of beating when I ride them and they are still fine except the back one that is slighly oval but it still resisted alot. The chain never broke and is pretty light I just had to add a half-link and remove a link because it was too loose. I personally like the seat because it's fat but not too much so it's ideal for me cause I don't sit too much. The sprocket is decent. I never hitted the bike on that part so it never bent.
The Bad: I like the color of the bars however the geometry was weird and I've bent them like 5 months ago. The frame was very solid and light but I'm quite tall (6'1) so sometimes I hit the bars with my knees when i'm riding. It happened that I broke the top tube 2 month ago and I really didn't expect that. It lasted me like 2 years so It wasn't a really bad frame but a bit little for me. The tyres wears very fast and the pitch mid had a cut on the left wall 1 month after getting the bike. The pitch flow lasted a bit more but I had a lot of punctures and tyre was so weared out that you could almost see the inner tube. The grips are shit they last nothing.
I rode this bike for more than 2 years and it's still a great bike! All the parts of this bike are very solid and light. It's a good first bike and then change the defective parts for better ones.

Hello friends!
It's already coming up to that cozy, wonderful time of year when we can spend time with family and friends over a comforting meal and a nice glass of wine. We can't believe the year has gone by so fast! During this year, we've merged our two businesses into one, leaving our Royal Raspberry Catering division in our fond memories and freshening up our image under the Blue Heron Catering and Events name that is well known and loved in the community. We have continued to thrive in the Hayward neighborhood at our Cannery Café in the Hayward Area Historical Society Event Center and Museum. We have also just started doing Pop Up Dinners at the Executive Suites on the Embarcadero in Oakland on Monday and Tuesday nights. You'll even find local music at our Pop Ups and at our café on the weekends. We've also spent a lot of time cultivating our relationships with our local farms, vendors and non profits. We had the pleasure of sponsoring the Family Paths Fundraiser Luncheon in October at The Lake Merritt Garden Center. It was a fabulous group of people committed to helping children find families and helping families find children. We can't say enough about Kimberly Cohn and her staff who spend hours and hours to make this all happen. Then, across the bay, we had a fun time at The Fort Mason General's Residence a few weeks ago, serving up Petaluma Poultry chicken, stuffed with Cypress Grove purple haze goat cheese and applewood smoked bacon jam, along with Niman Ranch beef with wild mushroom confit, to the USF Basketball teams fundraiser gala. We were definitely the shortest people there!
This weekend is one of our favorite fundraisers for The Sequoia Nursery School. It's held at Sequoia Lodge every year and it's like having a family dinner for 80 or so people. They are so committed to providing for the kids and they really do "walk the walk" when it comes to working, donating, spending time planning and doing all it takes to put on a fundraiser of this caliber. We set up some fun noshing stations so everyone can move around the room, grab little bites, chat, have a nice cocktail and bid on all the fabulous items at the silent auction tables.
We won't bore you with everything we've done for the community this year but we will say that we feel lucky we are in the heart of this awesome Bay Area and we hope to cross paths with you in the new year!
Happy Holidays to you and yours,
Love, The Blue Heron Team

HOUSTON - Tracy McGrady wasn't afraid to exaggerate the magnitude of the Houston Rockets' 120-117 victory against the Phoenix Suns on Monday night.
McGrady scored 39 points, including 25 in the first half, as the Rockets won their fifth straight and clinched the No. 4 seed in the Western Conference, meaning home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs.
Houston also snapped a six-game losing streak to Phoenix and secured its best record since 1997. The Rockets will open the playoffs at home against Utah next weekend. McGrady has never won a playoff series in five tries, but his team will have the extra home game for the first time.
"This is one of the greatest accomplishments of my career, personally," McGrady said.
McGrady also had 11 rebounds and nine assists, and Yao Ming added 34 points and nine rebounds. When the final buzzer sounded, the Rockets celebrated at midcourt as the capacity crowd stood and roared.
"It is huge," said Yao. "We were so excited when the clock was running to zero. It feels like winning a playoff series."
Amare Stoudemire scored 30 points, and Shawn Marion added 27 for the Suns, who used their starters most of the game even though they had already clinched the No. 2 seed in the West. Steve Nash added 15 points and 15 assists.
"We want to win every game and keep playing well into the playoffs," Phoenix coach Mike D'Antoni said. "We're having fun playing and we'll keep playing that way."

Migrating Existing DHCP Servers
Updated: March 28, 2003
Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2
If you already have a working DHCP infrastructure on your network, you can migrate your DHCP database and server configuration from your existing servers to new Windows Server 2003–based servers. Migrating can save you time because you do not need to reconfigure the scope, lease, and option information on the new server.
Before migrating the database, create a backup of your working configuration, and test the migration procedures in a lab environment.
The following procedures migrate lease, scope, and option information, including reservations and exclusions. If you have changed any registry settings from their defaults on the existing server, you must manually make these changes on the new Windows Server 2003–based server for them to take effect.
The registry editor bypasses standard safeguards, allowing settings that can damage your system, or even require you to reinstall Windows. If you must edit the registry, back it up first and see the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Registry Referencehttps://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/3dd0305c-e880-4dc0-baeb-7c946cd90a29on the Windows Server 2003 Deployment Kit companion CD or at http://www.microsoft.com/reskit.

What a wonderful casserole! I followed the recipe exactly except I used green onions instread because that is what I had on hand and I wanted to use them up. Loved the combination of flavors!!!This is a very easy on-dish meal that I will be making over and over again. Thanks so much Chicagopm!! :-)
This went over pretty well here, all in all. It didn't look anywhere close to getting done after 30 minutes, so I dumped it into a pan, added some water and covered it to let it finish that way. That worked out well. If I do this again, I'll probably just make the ground beef/soup stuff on the stove, use cooked rice, and then bake the final little bit with the noodles on top. I served it with steamed broc. that I tossed some garlic, soy sauce, and slivered almonds into. Good little meal that my family would probably go for again. Thanks for something new to try out!
My mother used to make this but the rice was cooked in the pot with the hamburger, soup mixture. Not the prettiest looking dish, but one of my favorites.
This is one of those 'go to" recipes that everyone needs! It's simple and tasty and I even make it simpler. I brown the beef and add a 28 oz can of La Choy Chop Suey vegetables instead of adding mushrooms, celery, and onion. It's easy and it's good. What more would anyone need?
This recipe is a really wonderful comfort food. I modified it to fit ingredients, which I had on hand. I used cream of celery and broccoli cheese soups. I also substituted ground chicken instead of beef. I added carrots for additional nutritional value and added a canned stir fry chinese mix. I mixed it with cooked egg noodles rather than rice before finishing up in the oven. I did not cook the entire 60 minutes in the oven as I stir fried all of the fresh vegetables with the ground chicken. I added this recipe to my personal favorites and will use it often, especially this winter! Thanks, Chicagoopm, for sharing!
Upon reading this recipe it reminded me of the Campbell's Soup Casseroles my mom used to make in the 70's and 80's! I was pleasantly suprised with how good it tasted...the celery and mushrooms were great additions. I chopped up two onions and thought that that may be too much so I just added one cup but that was the only change I made. We served it over rice with some home canned green beans. My kids ate it right up, my daughter's friend had seconds and my husband had two huge helpings. Perfect comfort food for a chilly evening!
I decided not to give this a star rating because I didn't feel that would be quite fair as I didn't have any of the Chinese crispy noodles on hand to make this truly the dish it is intended to be. With that said though, I felt this dish was very heavy, similar to a stroganoff. I used 2 cans of cream of mushroom instead of a can of cream of chicken. I thought this would have been better making the meat separate and then adding rice so that I could distribute more rice for the meat. I felt the ratio was a bit off for me. It's an okay recipe, but it just needs to be tweaked a bit in my opinion. :)
DH LOVED this. I made a few changes. Since I did not have celery, I used a can of cut bamboo shoots and some fresh bean sprouts. I used basmati rice so I added a tad extra water for that. The 2qt casserole didn't seem big enough, I"ll probably use something larger next time. I'll bet this would work in the crock pot. I served this with Restaurant-Style Egg Drop Soup, and steamed green beans with miso dressing. Thanks for posting!
I had this once at a church function and just loved it - wonderful winter comfort food! As much as I try to stay away from the "cream of this-and-that soup" stuff, I've tried making this other ways and can't come up with anything more simple and satisfying. I cut the onion up really fine to hide it from my kids. Thanks for a great recipe!
This is one my mother used to make. It is still a big hit with my family. I have even made it for company with great success. I usually will add more soy sauce for extra flavor. And I toss in some sliced mushrooms, bean sprouts & sliced water chestnuts.

Together with the Public Investment Corp., Growthpoint agreed to buy Cape Town's Victoria & Alfred Waterfront shopping mall in Cape Town for 9.72 billion rand, the country's biggest property deal.

If I create a utility project and multiple dynamic web projects within Eclipse and set it up so that dynamic web projects depend on the utility project, I'm guessing that I will have to redeploy all the dynamic web projects to the server if at some point I make enhancements to the utility project. If I understand correctly, setting dependancies will package the utility classes into each dynamic web project's WEB-INF/lib folder thus creating multiple have copies of the utility jar/classes.
But is there a way to have one copy of the utility jar/classes deployed to my server and shared between my apps? I work for a company that has a Configuration Management procedure (red tape, paper work, no value added) so I'd rather not have to redeploy ALL my apps and go through the CM process everytime I make a change to my utility class. I'd like to be able to CM the utility and then have all my apps just start using the updated utility project.

Summer Storm-Prelude to Pearl Harbor
This book starts out in a rather unlikely place: an extremely hot high school gymnasium in Villisca, Iowa in 1939. The graduating class, albeit small is about to begin a journey that will take them to the back alleys of Berlin to the decks of the USS Arizona on December 7th, 1941. Unbeknowst to any of the members of the audience of this graduation exercise is that their star place kicker, Randy Roberts is gay. After the graduation, Randy's lover, Dexter, (a Jewish boy from Omaha) tells him that he's accepted a summer job in Berlin working for William L. Shirer, a star reporter for the Chicago Sun Times. (Or so he thinks!) In a series of fast-paced events, Dexter soon finds out that not only does he not have a job with William L. Shirer, but that he's about to become a spy on the Nazis! Based upon the story of Odysseus in The Odyssey, Dexter's journey is filled with harrowing escapes, beautiful women and mean, rotten Nazis, (Are there any other types of Nazis?) Meanwhile, back in Iowa, Randy is busy planning his marriage to one of the the town's most eligible girls and in trying to keep his homosexuality from a boy in the neighborhood that his family has taken in due to an abusive situation at his home. Throw in excessive drinking, rampant carousing, and an unsolved murder and you are on your way to reading Paul Michael Frazee's stellar novel about one of the toughest chapters for 'The Greatest Generations". Gerda Weismann Klein, recipient of an Academy Award, (Best Documentary, Short, 1995: One Survivor Remembers, said that, "... the story is skillfully brought down to the level of individuals who lived and suffered through those defining moments of the 20th Century. It's spine-tingling tales of intrigue, of espionage and counter-espionage make this a must read."

Twin-engine plane crashes in Mt. Airy; reports of six killed
Published: Friday, February 1, 2008 at 1:42 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 1, 2008 at 2:03 p.m.
MT. AIRY A twin-engine plane crashed Friday in northwest North Carolina, and federal officials are investigating unconfirmed reports that all six people on board were killed.
Surry County sheriffs officials said the King Air 90 crashed Friday in a neighborhood near the Mt. Airy airport around 11:30 a.m. The Federal Aviation Administration said the plane did not hit any homes and no one on the ground was hurt in the accident.
FAA spokesman Warren Woodberry said the plane left Dallas, Georgia, and was headed for Mt. Airy. The plane is registered to Blue Sky Airways in Dallas.
Witnesses told News 14 Carolina the plane was attempting to land when it missed on its approach and crashed while trying to circle back for another try.

House Committee Leaders Deny Climate Change While Extreme Weather Devastates Their States
by Jackie Weidman and Whitney Allen
On November 27th, House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) announced the new and returning House committee chairmen (and yes, they are all men). Some of these congressmen will run committees with jurisdiction over federal climate, energy, and environmental programs. This includes funding for the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Clean Air Act, balancing the use of our public lands between energy production and recreation, and determining the infrastructure needs of a nation that now faces unpredictable extreme weather threats linked to climate change.
The vast majority of these chairmen voted for legislation that would dismantle EPA's ability to limit industrial carbon pollution, and for retention of special tax breaks for the oil and gas industry. Oil and gas, coal, and electric utility companies have cozied up to many of these chairmen, giving them roughly $3.8 million in campaign contributions over the course of their careers.
Meanwhile, many climate-related extreme weather events have severely afflicted Americans over the past two years, including in their home states. Record-breaking drought and heat waves, severe floods, and heavy storms wreaked havoc for the families living in the chairmens' backyards. Scientists predict that these weather events will become more frequent and/or severe if the industrial carbon pollution responsible for climate change remains unchecked.
Let's take a look at some of the Republicans who will oversee federal climate, energy, and environmental programs over the next two years, as well as their campaign contributions from the industries responsible for most climate pollution:
Rep. Sam Graves (Missouri) — Small Business Committee
In a May 2010 op-ed in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Rep. Graves claimed that limiting carbon pollution is "out of touch with the people who keep this country running." Yet, the farmers, ranchers, and small business owners he refers to in his column dealt with crippling drought conditions this summer across Missouri and the Great Plains, a disaster that Midwestern scientists say "is consistent with an observed warmer climate."
In addition to drought, Graves' home state was also afflicted by other extreme weather events in 2011, including a Missouri River flood that inundated homes and businesses. All of Missouri's counties were declared disaster areas from the three main extreme weather events hitting the state, including the Joplin tornado disaster.
Graves has received $150,000 in campaign contributions from electric utilities throughout his career.
Rep. Frank Lucas (Oklahoma) — Agriculture Committee
In his first term as committee chair, Rep. Lucas voted to prevent the Department of Agriculture from helping farmers adapt to a changing climate that will include more droughts, heat waves, and heavy storms. Meanwhile, his home state of Oklahoma suffered from 8 extreme weather events that each caused at least $1 billion in total damages each.
Two of these events include the crippling heat and drought conditions that have overwhelmed his home state in both 2011 and 2012. This year's drought recently expanded, and as of November 20th 44 percent of winter wheat crops and 80 percent of the pastures in Oklahoma are experiencing poor to very poor conditions. All of the counties in Lucas's state were declared disaster areas due to the drought. The average household in Oklahoma earns 17 percent below the national median income. The Oklahomans afflicted by the drought and other extreme weather events have less income to recover and rebuild from these episodes.
Lucas took $467,325 in oil and gas contributions and $145,992 from electric utilities over the course of his career.
Rep. Mike McCaul (Texas) — Homeland Security
Texas experienced 10 extreme weather events with $1 billion plus in damages each in 2011-12. Every single Texas county was in a declared disaster area, and it received more federal disaster aid than any other state since 2009.
In his new position, Rep. McCaul will oversee FEMA, including its disaster relief and recovery efforts, which should be comforting to Texans. But Rep. McCaul voted to approve the 2013 House Budget Plan that would have handicapped the government's ability to respond to disasters, something he openly criticized when it affected his district. McCaul asserts, "It shouldn't have taken that long," for FEMA to respond to wildfires that spread through Texas in 2011. He has not acknowledged that he would support government efforts to cut back the program even further.
Rep. McCaul received $300,000 in oil and gas contributions throughout his career.
Rep. Hal Rogers (Kentucky) — Appropriations Committee
Rep. Rogers' committee is hostile to disaster relief and recovery. It voted to slash FEMA's budget by $87 million (2011) and $182 million (2012). Budget cuts restrict FEMA's ability to provide disaster relief, food and shelter, and flood management assistance for state and local governments. Roger's home state of Kentucky suffered from four separate tornado and severe storm events in 2011-12 with at least $1 billion in damages each. Half of Kentucky's counties were in declared disaster areas from the four events, and households in these counties earn, on average, 19 percent below the U.S. median household income.
Rogers has received over $830,000 in campaign contributions from fossil fuel industries throughout his career.
Rep. Paul Ryan (Wisconsin) – Budget Committee
Over the past two years, Rep. Ryan voted more than a dozen times to block Environmental Protection Agency public health rules, including pollution reduction measures that would limit carbon pollution from power plants. While serving as Budget Committee Chairman, Rep. Ryan authored a budget that would have hurt FEMA's ability to help state and local governments repair or replace damaged infrastructure after a major disaster.
Although his budget does not mention FEMA by name, the plan would have cut discretionary federal funds to FEMA and other agencies. The reductions in the FEMA budget would have shifted a significant portion of disaster response and recovery costs to states and cities. Rep. Ryan's home state of Wisconsin experienced three billion-dollar in damages weather events in 2011-12. Nearly two-thirds of its counties were in declared disaster areas.
Ryan received $263,600 in campaign contributions from oil and gas companies throughout his Congressional career.
Rep. Lamar Smith (Texas) – Science, Space and Technology
As Climate Progress recently reported, Rep. Smith is the new chair of the Science Committee. Yet he does not accept the overwhelming scientific consensus on man-made climate change. In fact, Rep. Smith has repeatedly attacked the media for reporting on the mountains of scientific evidence confirming this fact. Smith claims that they are "determined to advance the idea of human-made global warming."
While Rep. Smith seeks to assert that climate change is just an "idea," his state has continued to suffer from the impacts of climate related extreme weather. Texas has experienced more billion-dollar in damages weather events than any other U.S. state in the past two years. The 2011-12 droughts decimated Texas crops, threatened the state's water supply, and severely harmed its cattle industry. Ironically, while pollution-fueled climate change helped cause severe economic losses in his state, Rep. Smith assured Americans that "oil and natural gas fuel our economy and sustain our way of life."
Rep. Smith is heavily supported by the oil and gas industry. It is his second largest contributor, shelling out half of a million dollars on his campaigns over the course of Rep. Smith's career.
Rep. Fred Upton (Michigan) — Energy and Commerce Committee
The Energy and Commerce Committee oversees many aspects of energy production and industrial pollution. Rep. Upton will head it up again. He has repeatedly said that he does not believe climate change is man-made, even though he used accept this scientific fact. Upton became a fierce critic of the EPA's authority to limit industrial carbon pollution. In fact, he authored the "Energy Tax Prevention Act" (H.R. 910) to amend the Clean Air Act by repealing the scientific "endangerment finding" by EPA that greenhouse gases endanger human health. This bill would have permanently prevented EPA from limiting climate change pollution.
Upton, claimed that "this legislation will remove the biggest regulatory threat to the American economy," without any independent analysis to demonstrate this claim. Months after working to get the bill through the House, multiple severe weather events hit Michigan in July 2011, causing $1 billion in damages.
Rep. Upton received $1.2 million– more than any other House committee chair – over the course of his career from the electric utility and oil and gas industries.
Jackie Weidman is a Special Assistant for Energy Policy at the Center for American Progress; Whitney Allen is an intern on the energy team at the Center for American Progress.
26 Responses to House Committee Leaders Deny Climate Change While Extreme Weather Devastates Their States
Gosh! You mean that there is no sign that despite the overwhelming evidence and the absolute scientific consensus, that the Right are as obdurate as ever? Well, I never! If one visits the idiot's playground of the MSM blogs, you'll find just as many morons, just as vociferous as ever. The denialist industry top dogs have their letters published regularly, and the denialists appear in opinion pages more often that the rationalists, markedly so in the Murdoch sewer (which, thanks to their boy, Cameron, has now survived the little kerfuffle in the UK pretty much unchanged).
As I've said often, to the point of tedious repetition (And Beyond!)this is a fight to the death between the forces of Life and those of Death, between Good and Evil. A contest where, if the Right continue to prevail as they have done so far, several billion humans will die prematurely, unnecessarily and wretchedly in the rest of this century, is the greatest moral question of all the Ages of Man. These creatures are, in my opinion, the living manifestation of absolute evil, and unless we recognise this and act accordingly, then all, literally all past, present and future, is lost.
OK – I'm not American, so I don't know the exact way to address these people but how about this? Draft a letter to each of these people, put it on a large board in BIG writing, invite the local media to the street outside their local office (don't tell them why), unveil the board, and try to deliver it. Here's a possible draft:
Dear Representative . . .
We congratulate your on your appointment as Chairman of …..
We note that in the past you have rejected the scientific view of climate change for reasons we find difficult to discover. We note that you have in the past received $… from …… industries.
We would like to invite you to a seminar on climate change to be presented by ……, a distinguished expert in the field.
How much do we have to raise as a donation to your next election fund to get you (a) to come the seminar (b) to vote rationally on climate issues?
Best wishes, your constituents.
We know these guys are buffoons. We know they will vote against the best interests of even their own constituents. BUT they are kept in office BY their constituents. Behind every moron in the House or Senate is a large cohort of voters who are equally moronic. This is the situation we in the US find ourselves. It is so sad that close to half of the American voters is so completely ignorant of history and science that they will believe any stupid thing their representatives say or whatever BS is broadcast on FOX. I have only one vote and I don't live in any of the states these freaks represent.
Three big AGW questions to watch forever:
1) How fast will we decarbonizer the world energy economy? (We control this, collectively. Don't worry, we can't decarbonize too fast.)
2) How fast will the destruction and death due to AGW mount? (We will never know for certain, since we are doing an uncontrolled experiment. Debate will continue.)
3) How will millions, and then tens of millions, of people dispossessed by AGW respond? (This will be the big test. A planetary, civilization-wide test.)
I began to look at this very issue a few years ago, and thought it would be an ambitious but very worthwhile project to profile Congressional decisionmakers in terms of their vulnerability to climate impacts (e.g. states and districts at risk of floods, droughts, sea level rise, etc) contrasted with the elected official's stance on climate change, voting record, and total GHG emissions and/or efforts to curb emissions). I have also thought it would be a good idea to offer federal incentives (e.g. in the form of "extra" relief following weather and climate-related disasters or hardships) to those states or districts that can demonstrate CO2/GHG emissions reductions – "good behavior" should be rewarded, in other words. But it does strike me as utter hypocrisy when a politician who is an avid climate science denier in one breath starts whining for federal help when climate change hits home, in the next breath. "It jus' ain't right," as they say.
We will remember, but it is past time to get it all on the record. Time to document those who would drive us to the edge of extinction.
Time to document these days of infamy.
Time to document just how much they hate their children.
Time to document how the cry of liberty has been suborned to freedom of the dollar.
Time to document how damaging the worship of the graven images in everyone's pocket.
Why don't we outspend the oil lobbyist, in order to get the votes? :)
Does anyone have a better idea, i like to hear it.
Shame them. Not the companies, the people in charge.
The companies are merely the conduits for the bad conduct of the CEOs and board members. The bad conduct is not selling oil, it is lobbying and funding denialism. Corrupting politics, science, and public opinion, with trivial amounts of their budgets, is simply evil. It is bad for their legacies.
We need to let them know. Continuously.
Didn't many Republicans and their supporting PAC's outspend many Democrats and didn't many of those Republicans fail to win their elections? I think Romney was one of those.
While it seems just that those who deny suffer the consequences, I don't want them to suffer, and unfortunately we don't have multiple life rafts – so we can put those who want to juggle with razors can be on one inflatable life raft, and the rest of us on another – they are slinging razor sharp bayonets at OUR life raft – that fact that they are on it too just makes them dumber – it doesn't help us in any way.
Excellent approach. Now we just have to do it!
Quite right. Climate Scientists have a fundamental disagreement with Politicians:
Scientists say that unrestricted burning of fossil fuel is unsustainable.
Rep. Smith says it's the American way of life that is unsustainable.
Well said, Mulga.
I agree with you, Mulga, you have your ear to the ground. I'm headed to the AGU conference, and will be attending seminars on climate communication, but their take is usually too stuffy. We need to be more creative in reaching the people, most of whom have no clue about how much they are being manipulated. Here's my take from a couple of years ago:
Unfortunately, they won't take our money, since they know they can get so much more from the oil companies. It's not just campaign cash, but also lifetime income in the form of lobbying jobs if they are ever defeated.
The Chairman of these committees named come from Red States, with the exception of Paul Ryan. The majority of the populace in these states watch FOX News as if it where the 'truth'.
Its amazing the disconnect between blue America vs Red America, West coast vs East Coast. It seems that the vast majority of Flyover America is still living in the America of Reagan in the 1980s and refuse to let go.Their continued voting of politicians of such abominable character has already sealed their fates, and that of their children and Grandchildren and way beyond.
In the short time span of a decade the climate will be heading into a disastrous new paradigm in many of these states- the population here will hang on to the republican party till they pack up and have to migrate to other places, climatically less harsh.
They keep us stupid on purpose. All you have to do is watch the nightly news to see how that works, or attend a class in high school.
The short answer is that we are going to see fascist takeovers, as people become more desperate. Millions will emigrate, to be met with weapons by starving occupants of the countries they are going to.
We are not going to be able to decarbonize until governments nationalize the fossil fuel companies. Today, these companies control governments, and it's either them or us.
We need to find a country with a legal system capable of trying the fossil fuel companies for crimes against humanity. They can be convicted in absentia, with the full scope of their crimes (including bribery and funding of denial) included in court documents.
It shouldn't be an obvious place, like Tuvalu, since before long an enlightened larger country like New Zealand or Ecuador will pull this off. The prosecutors will bear witness, and open communication with media and legal systems throughout the world.
Might the problem be an untempered, overly active addiction to dopamine? We are all addicted to the short-term activities which earn us our next "hit". Some of us, however, have learned to moderate our immediate needs, resulting in the beneficial ability to ponder future consequences and events.
It's not 'money for' that is most effective, it's the threat of 'money against' that most easily cows otherwise reasonable Politicians.
The political strategy of the Teaparty is to overwhelm anyone that strays from their hard line with negative attack ads and defeat them in the Primary. Just ask ex-Senator Dick Luger how that feels.
The result is a further polarization of Congress and extended grid-lock, which favors the Status Quo, Big Oil and Big Banks.
In a News Hour dialogue, Mark Shields mentioned in passing something to the effect that the 'red' states receive a lot of Congressional military spending. I found a Bloomberg Government analysis from 2011 that doesn't wholly confirm that generalization, but still has value.
Map here:
However, what would our political dialogue look like if climate-change and sustainable-energy spending were differently distributed among Red and Blue states?
I have to say that I remain befuddled as to why the worthy panjandrums of the scientific elites remain so detached from the public, so reticent to become engaged (I'd prefer enraged, like myself)so inappropriately 'above' the turmoil. They all have lives yet to live, children, grandchildren, neighbours, friends etc, all about to be devastated, yet no scientific grandee has yet launched a protesting hunger-strike, or created a fuss of any kind. They prefer to take a toothpick to a machine-gun fight with the fanatical zealots of denialism and auto-genocide. Are they cowards? Stir 'ém up, Mike! Get them up off their academic backsides.
Fascism is the ruling elite's default setting for situations where sham democracy fails, and the rabble are vitalised and energised. The lower middle class, habitually terrified of falling back into comparative poverty with the serfs, prove useful allies in the fascist takeover, and the US middle-class is hanging on by its fingernails. The Tea Party Mad Hatters are pseudo-fascistic already, with the necessary inchoate rage,ignorance, paranoia and 'kick down, lick up' character formation so preferred by the elites. Nasty times lie just ahead- indeed, just ask hundreds of millions around the world and you will find that they have arrived already.
It can't be Tuvalu because it will soon be submerged. A great idea. And another possibility is an international tribunal like the one Bertrand Russell and Jean-Paul Sartre set up to judge crimes against humanity in Indochina. Set it up, gather the evidence, and have it all waiting for an international jurisdiction to be established to bring the criminals to justice. And see that the evidence is widely disseminated on the web and elsewhere. Make the swine rest uneasily in their beds.
Is that where the expression 'dope', in the intelligence stakes, comes from?
