Chris Mooney | March 29, 2012
By Chris Mooney • Thursday, March 29, 2012 - 03:39
UPDATE: The paper discussed below is downloadable here.
For a while now, I've been aware of a powerful new paper that directly tests the central argument of my 2005 book The Republican War on Science—and also validates some key claims made in my new book, The Republican Brain. I've had to keep quiet about it until now; but at last, the study is out—though I'm not sure yet about a web link to it.
The research is by Gordon Gauchat of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and published in the prestigious American Sociological Review. In the study, Gauchat uses a vast body of General Social Survey data to test three competing theses about the relationship between science and the U.S. public:
1) the cultural ascendancy thesis or "deficit model" view, according to which better education and engagement with science lead all boats to rise, and citizens across the board become more trusting of scientists and their expertise;
2) the alienation thesis, according to which modernity brings on distrust and disillusionment with science (call it the "spoiled brat" thesis if you'd like); and
3) the politicization thesis—my thesis—according to which some cultural groups, aka conservatives, have a unique fallout with science for reasons tied up with the nature of modern American conservatism, such as its ideology, the growth of its think tank infrastructure, and so on.
The result? Well, Gauchat's data show that the politicization thesis handily defeats all contenders. More specifically, he demonstrates that there was only really a decline in public trust in science among conservatives in the period from 1974 to 2010 (and among those with high church attendance, but these two things are obviously tightly interrelated).
And not just that.
Gauchat further validates the argument of The Republican War on Science by showing that the decline in trust in science was not linear. It occurred in association with two key "cultural break" points that, I argue in the book, heightened right wing science politicization: The election of Ronald Reagan, and then the election of George W. Bush.
This one figure from the paper really, really says it all:
As you can see, conservatives go down, down, down in their trust in science over the period in question—which, of course, is also the period that thoroughly divided and polarized America.
And it's not just these new findings that resound. Much of Gauchat's data also validate key points from my new book The Republican Brain, which is in many ways my deeper elaboration of the arguments of the Republican War on Science.
First, Gauchat shows something I also highlight: Graduate degrees are now much more numerous among liberals, and the graduate education gap between left and right is widening. This factor–reflecting liberals' greater Openness to scientific information and new ideas, as well as unending conservative attacks on academia (and recourse to ideological think tanks to take its place)–is a key structural force involved in driving conservatives away from science.
Second: Gauchat also captures, once again, the "smart idiot" effect: Conservatives becoming more factually wrong—or, in this case, more distrusting of science, which to me is basically the same thing—as their level of education advances. Here let me quote in full, because frankly, the finding can only be called highly disturbing:
…conservatives with high school degrees, bachelor's degrees, and graduate degrees all experienced greater distrust in science over time and these declines are statistically significant. In addition, a comparison of predicted probabilities indicates that conservatives with college degrees decline more quickly than those with only a high school degree. These results are quite profound, because they imply that conservative discontent with science was not attributable to the uneducated but to rising distrust among educated conservatives.
The key question to pose, after reading Gauchat's paper, is why this occurred. Clearly, The Republican War on Science's politicization thesis is being strongly validated—a thesis that attributes the problem to the growth of a modern conservative movement, its need to appease its core interest groups and constituencies (corporate America, conservative Christians), its need to have its own alternative expertise and journalism (think tanks, Fox, Limbaugh), and so on.
But frankly, I don't think this thesis goes far enough. That is the whole point of The Republican Brain, where I assert that we need a nature plus nurture account to understand why conservatives deny science and reality. And all of this stuff Gauchat is talking about is sociology—aka, "nurture." It's very real, undeniably so–but is it the whole story?
I doubt it. For instance, in their book Authoritarianism and Polarization in American Politics, Marc Hetherington and Jonathan Weiler have shown that as the "New Right" emerged in the U.S. in the wake of the cultural battles of the 1960s and 1970s, it mobilized strong forces of authoritarianism–e.g., psychological rigidity and closed-mindedness. In this era, driven by hot button "culture war" issues, authoritarians moved to the right, leaving behind the Democratic Party, particularly in the South. These were the so-called "Reagan Democrats."
I find it hard to believe that this trend is not also showing up in Gauchat's data. If anything, the finding about church attendance kind of gives it away—in the U.S., authoritarians are often biblical fundamentalists.
Whatever the underlying causes, though, the punchline of the story that Gauchat tells—reaffirming the story I have told—is unmistakably grim. We now have a powerful linkage between a powerful political movement in the United States on the one hand, and the denial of science and reality on the other. This not only manifests itself every day in our dysfunctional political debates; it is a gigantic threat to the country's future and its ability to cope with 21st century problems.

what can be done
Another good summary of the thrust of Chris' assessments. But what can we do?
Arguing the facts does not seem to help; Educating does not seem to help. Voting helps, but only when you get a 60% majority, which is very unlikely.
Liberals, by the very nature of being liberal, have a disadvantage in the long-run. They are less religious, less indoctrinating, and have fewer kids. Doomed?

No. I think Chris is
No. I think Chris is actually on to a very important phenomenon. What is it about conservatism that makes people shy away from FACTS?
Not all conservative are created equal
From the chart, it appears that just 38% of conservatives trust science.
So, while 62% have issues with research that chafes their moral or fiscal sensibilities, the 38% that trust science are not an insignificant number.
What would be useful is to look at why they trust and the others do not.
Also useful would be to draw in the 38% of conservatives (who make up 15% of the population) to the conversation. To do that, everyone will have to be respectful and shy away from the name calling and ad hominem attacks that regularly grace the political blogs these days (and many House speeches, I might add!).
Do we want real action, or do we just want to carry "signs, signs, everywhere signs, mostly saying 'hurray for our side'?"
Seek first to understand...
That is one of the 7 principles (Stephen Covey's brainchild).
It is important to understand what is motivating the denier camp. This research is useful.
However, if climate action is to proceed, this kind of research must be used to develop a strategy that will win the game for our descendants. So, there has to be consensus building among a large enough group, say, 60% or more of voting citizens (in our various countries).
In the USA, the conservative-moderate-liberal breakdown is currently 40%-35%-21% (according to the latest annual Gallup poll). (Be aware that this is asking people to self identify.)
If it becomes a liberal versus conservative fight, well, let's just everyone go home and prepare for the brave new climate. I don't see any hope in making this an ideological battle. It's a battle to make the reality of the climate threat painfully evident across ideologies.
I see two choices, at least. One is to get all the moderates on board. That gives you just 56% of the US population. The other is to break off some of the conservatives and most all of the moderates.
There are many different kinds of conservatives - not all are owned by the Koch brothers.
- There are the ultra-libertarians who look little different from anarchists. The Koch's father was a founding member of the John Birch Society, for example.
- There are the libertarians who think the markets and property rights enforced through tort law will make everything all right, like Ron Paul. They want to minimize\\\\strangulate regulation. (Um, yes, I learned coding on a TTY10 tied to an HP2000.)
- There are fiscal conservatives who want spending to be related to revenues.
- There are social conservatives who value the social conventions they grew up with.
- There are fiscal ultra-conservatives who bought into the idea that <sarc>if tax rates are zero, tax revenues will be infinite</sarc>
- There are so-called constitutionalists, actually strict constructionists, who want to see the federal government stripped of all social programs and market interventions.
- There are many who are conservative on one issue, moderate on some, and liberal on others.
Some of these are just not going to be won over, because dealing with such a huge market externality seems to contradict their ideology. The tragedy of the commons is not easily dealt with through strict libertarian enforcement of property rights. The so-called constitutionalists will just say it is not government's problem to solve, but they might be convinced to take private action.To basic fiscal conservatives, it doesn't matter as long as the deficit is brought under control. To the evangelical brand of social conservatives, well, many may be won by framing the problem as environmental stewardship.
In conclusion, while this is useful research, it is not sufficient to guide action in a way that will achieve positive movement. Let's move to the next levels and look at building constituencies.
Thank you Chris for this important work, let's progress to the next steps.
Rich, thanks for the insights. Obviously, the task is daunting but all is not lost. I feel one should have thought about this 20 years ago. In much of Europe, we are 20 years ahead of the US in this respect, and it only seems to get worse looking at the graph and the potential next POTUS. How do you think one can best motivate those conservatives and moderates? Framing is one thing. But I feel unless you get some media on the bandwaggon, and/or something truly bad happens climate-wise, too few are motivated to bother.
The Texas drought got some attention and I would like to see some polling being done there to analyze for any effects on viewpoints and attitudes towards AGW and science in general.
"In much of Europe, we are 20
"In much of Europe, we are 20 years ahead of the US in this respect,"
Western Europe does not have the fossil fuel reserves that the USA, Canada & Australia has. It's easy to adopt new sources of energy and be critical of others when your country doesn't stand to lose squillions in revenue from digging the stuff up. It's like the quandary of being one of the worlds largest sources of asbestos, but at the same time, knowing your product is bad in so many ways.
"The Texas drought got some attention and I would like to see some polling being done there to analyze for any effects on viewpoints and attitudes towards AGW and science in general."
Yes, polling there would be interesting. But you would think national polling would encompass those places as well. It's ironic that in the USA, it is the red states most affected by present and future climate change and these states are also the most vigilant in their opposition to the fact that climate change is actually happening.
Red States
Yes, but the most noticeable effects of the climate changes so far are in the northern latitudes. Temperature changes are more pronounced, ice sheet loss is visible, glacier loss is easy to spot, ice roads are open half the season the once were, towns build on tundra are sinking, and on and on.
The effects on the southern climes will be less obvious - droughts and floods … that is, until Miami is submerged.
"Yes, but the most noticeable

Not as many voters around those parts ;)

I don't know. The whopper of a drouhght in Texas surely got some questioning their faith.
Great state
Good to hear.
It doesn't hurt that they have put up a lot of wind generation and have a solid solar industry as well.

"The effects on the southern climes will be less obvious - droughts and floods … that is, until Miami is submerged."
Well, they will certainly be at the forefront of experiencing the "joys" of global warming and a rising sea level if the new IPCC report is bourne out.
I will be long gone before 2070 arrives, but my kids might be able to go on tours of a very different Miami than today and not in a positive way.
"India's 2001 census indicated that in Mumbai 5,823,510 people (48.9%
of the population) lived in slums (Government of India, 2001). In 2005,
the global slum population was nearly 1 billion, and it is projected
to reach 1.3 to 1.4 billion by 2020, mostly concentrated in cities in
developing countries (UN-HABITAT, 2006). In addition to Mumbai,
Hanson et al. (2011) found that the following cities will have the greatest
population exposure to coastal flooding in 2070: Kolkata, Dhaka,
Guangzhou, Ho Chi Minh City, Shanghai, Bangkok, Rangoon, Miami, and
Hai Phòng. Many of these cities are already characterized by significant
population and asset exposure to coastal flooding, and all but Miami
are located in developing countries in Asia. "
I'm sure most of the people in Miami will be just fine and will migrate as need be. But what of the people in those Asian cities? They contain literaly hundreds of millions of people. If deniers think they will simply stay put, or build up, they are kidding themselves. They will migrate. If western countries think they have refugee and immigration problems now………then oooooh shit, wait until those places start to flood regularly.
I'm still locked...
in the thought that its really about money and lobbyists. I feel that most folks will go with what they believe. I feel that oil companies are just fueling the portion they want. In the US its the Republicans. In Saskachewan its socialists (NDP quietly burries and inquiry into Weyburn Carbon Capture leaks).
I wonder if these numbers coincide with a rise in the prevalence of science in our daily lives. If you think about its not just that its science but many chunks of science butt up against values. Perhaps this is a rub off effect or backlash against that.
"Woman's rights. Bah! Who needs them!?!"
"But data shows they are equal to us…"
Look at the world today. We run around with cell phones, computers, huge amounts of information at our finger tips. All are products of science.
What was it like in the 1970's? You had a house, you had TV, and you had books. It was much easier for people to control their little worlds, and there was less of the outside (and all those bothersome facts) to get in.
I believe the "Tree Hugger" term comes from the 70's, and that generation as gone on to measure and prove things that are now entirely too inconvenient.
Just look at the Oregon Petition… Well, not really. Look at the guys behind writing it;
"In 1988, Robinson's wife died suddenly and he took over the home-schooling of their six children, leading to a profitable side business. He assembled a set of 22 CD-ROM disks containing public-domain versions of various books and educational materials such as the 1911 Encyclopedia Brittanica, Robinson Crusoe and McGuffey's Readers, which the family now markets as a home-schooling kit. The kits sell for $200 each, and Robinson says the curriculum has been purchased by more than 32,000 families."
1911 science ought to be good enough for anyone.
I wonder if there are other correlators.
Since the 70's we've seen a huge increase in number and level of education for people in our society.
What are the percentage that are going into the sciences?
Hmm… Less and less.
"n the thought that its
"n the thought that its really about money and lobbyists. I feel that most folks will go with what they believe. I feel that oil companies are just fueling the portion they want. In the US its the Republicans. In Saskachewan its socialists (NDP quietly burries and inquiry into Weyburn Carbon Capture leaks)."
I'm of the opinion, this is true also. If there was no money put into paying off politicians and lobbyists, then all we would have is the science. It would be interesting to see how opposed to AGW people like Senator Inhofe would be if there was no funding from fossil fuel companies. By funding politicians, it forces the public who are loyal to that particular brand, to back them unquestioningly and even go one step further and vociferously defend them.
OilMan, Sask. does not have
OilMan, Sask. does not have an NDP government. You probably mean Brad Wall's Saskatchewan Party buried that report. They are the Conservative replacement, after many Sask. Cons became convicts.
I stand corrected.
"In 2007, the Saskatchewan NDP government promised to launch a year-long study into the problem. But that pledge went out the window when the NDP lost the election to the Saskatchewan Party just weeks later, say the Kerrs."

I'll stick with the same pov I offered in your last post
on this subject matter.
Raygun was the one who made it clear that his ideology and politics were inseparable from his "morality" as noted there, and who was it that thought trees emitted more polution than all the cars on the road?
He was also the one that introduced the idea in their noggins that gov is the problem wholly incapable of providing any meaningful solutions, which no doubt explains why he solved his election difficulties with what came to be known as Iran/Contra-gate http://consortiumnews.com/2011/12/01/the-lost-opportunity-of-iran-contra/, and set us on the following course http://archive.truthout.org/revisiting-reagan-nightmare67507 – the short list which adds up to the same thing witnessed during the Bush years – up becoming down and failure success, and war crimes freedom-promoting.
It's not so much that educated cons are "stupid", but rather the fact that they have nothing but denials standing between them and the shame they should be feeling for having embraced and supported so many abysmal failures since Raygun took the helm, culminating in the class warfare and assorted other ills plaguing this nation. Raygun took the lying of Nixon and put a happy face on it http://crooksandliars.com/john-amato/history-politcal-lying which the biggest problem in this country today imo in terms of impediments, because it not only underlies their waning belief in science, but also the ever escalating coarsening of our political discourse that assures we remain divided on the problem solving front.
I see the growing "disbelief" you've been analyzing as evidence for little more than them getting tangled in their own web of deciet, requiring a constant doubling down on dishonest dummihood and the denial to themselves that this isn't the case, which as your graph shows, was a steady drop during the Bush years I had made this case for – when "Gorebal Warming" was the "rage", and faith that Frist could diagnose Schiavo from a video were the order of the day. Had Bush ran out the door on 9/11 as swiftly comparatively speaking as he did to fly to DC to sign her salvation, in that battle over medical science v faith http://atheism.about.com/b/2005/03/24/faith-vs-science-in-terri-schiavos-case.htm
The only successful trickle down scheme the modern right wing has ever produced is with dummihood. This is not to say that the masterminds/puppetmasters are dummies sharing analogous to the economic animal, but rather that like Pavlov, they know what buttons to push, which is why they assume the role of flat earthers, trickle downers, warmongering, etc, dummies themselves, to fulfill their role first and foremost as protectors of the aristocracy, as they have for centuries http://polaris.gseis.ucla.edu/pagre/conservatism.html
I think the reason why we see the slope during the Bush years is the result of a concerted effort to avoid for as long as possible through political strength, the "socialistic" solutions that global warming are gonna require, which is why Gore was used as a figurehead and has suffered a fate analogous in the public square to the one Galileo did when he threatened the powers that were in his time.
Let's hope it doesn't take the cons centuries to apologize and concede that he was/is right like it took the Catholic Church, no?
versus loses
If this remains a liberal versus conservative battle royal, our children are doomed.
Secondly, there are plenty of non-socialist, market oriented solutions available. They can be acceptable to a broad swath of conservatives, if effectively framed. (The entrenched economic interests that are threatened by a change in energy sources will fight like h___, but for all their cash, they never will be the majority.
Let's leave partisanship for other, less critical issues. Every citizen cares about a lot of what aol be lost if we fail to take action. Right to life and social justice are values issues. A healthy climate is not a values issue.
We'd better find a way to join hands across enough fences to (for kind) make the changes and (for cons) preserve the only climate we've been entrusted with.
"If this remains a liberal
"If this remains a liberal versus conservative battle royal, our children are doomed."
True, but that view looks at things outside of the scope of reality. The reality is, there are parties and politicians being funded by the fossil fuel sector, who do not want an extra tax on them, they do not want a hinderace to profits and they do not want competition. While they are being funded by the fossil fuel sector, they are hardly going to come to the party and promote competition or policy that affects their largest donors.
"Secondly, there are plenty of non-socialist, market oriented solutions available. They can be acceptable to a broad swath of conservatives, if effectively framed."
I think you are right there. Conservatives in fossil fuel rich countries are now really for big business, when before, they used to be for all business. If Conservatives really wanted to, they could head the next economical boom through a clean tech boom and claim responsibility for it, by saying they are promoting all business, by getting behind a fledgling cleantech industry, that has already shown it is a player here to stay. They can hardly conserve the planet or conserve the status quo if they keep backing fossil fuel and force change upon themselves.
stupidicus replied on Permalink
that's a great principle, but how do you put it into practice given the impediment/hurdle this adversarial relationship with reality they have presents?
You make the case for solutions for diminshing the output of the ghg, but the socialistic solutions I referred to are primarily those that will be required when the crops fail, water shortages arise, and mass migrations north on this continent occur, etc, not to mention across the world.
While the time of such may not be known, http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2004/feb/22/usnews.theobserver the likelihood of it occurring sooner http://thinkprogress.org/romm/2012/03/28/454281/global-warming-sharply-increases-likelihood-of-outlandish-heat-waves/?mobile=nc rather than later grows daily due to the impediments we've suffered thusfar from denialism, in the form of inaction you think necessitates whatever your plan for breaking down the ideological barriers is specifically.

The "curiosity factor"
Chris Mooney's research fascinates me because I have long believed that there are differences between the underlying builds of people's brains that account for the different political beliefs of the owners of those brains. I can't wait to read Mooney's latest book.
Before I do, can anyone tell me whether the book examines "curiosity" as a distinguishing characteristic of the different brain types?
The climate sceptics seem for the most part to lack anything like genuine curiosity about what is causing the changes in the world's climate that we see. Those changes are dramatic and ominous, but sceptics don't seem interested in what is causing them – they are content to attribute it all to "cycles of nature" and leave it at that. Of course, attributing it to "cycles of nature" is a way of saying that "it's just happening that's all". This answer can satisfy only those who lack the mental quality that makes people become, for example, scientists.

Left and right brains
Emerson said, "In works of genius, our own thoughts return to us with a sort of alienated majesty." Mooney's book strikes me as a work of genius – at least it formulates certain of my own conclusions with far more clarity than I was ever able to by and for myself – and it reaches these conclusions by scientific methods, and not by my own sort of haphazard intuition.
I've long suspected that what makes my conservative friends think so differently from me is not they they take a wrong turn halfway through some syllogism, but that their brains work differently from mine.
Evidence and arguments that I find absolutely compelling, they dismiss as liberal nitpicking. The things that hold sway in their mind, I find depressingly shallow and irrelevant. Long exchanges between us on the subject of our differences produce the inevitable and expected result: each of us is left pitying the intellectual beknightedness of the other.
Of particular value is Mooney's description of the way to frame arguments that have at least a little chance of changing a conservative's thinking. We liberals cannot continue to defend our positions by making arguments that appeal to the liberal brain. Such arguments have already won the converts that they are going to win. We must adopt new – but truthful – methods of persuasion. To do otherwise would be irresponsible – too much is now at stake.

Tip led FBI to Exeter Sportsman's ClubBy GRETYL MACALASTER
Union Leader Correspondent
April 26. 2013 12:33AM
EXETER - A tip from a local woman about a possible sighting of the Boston Marathon bombers a day before the attacks led the FBI to the Exeter Sportsman's Club earlier this week.
The woman reported an interaction she had with two men on April 14 who asked her for directions to the club.
Tom Wharton, vice president of the Exeter Sportsman's Club, said members of the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force contacted them Monday and spent about an hour with the club's security officer.
"They met with our security officer and went over all the tapes of the time in question ... and saw no suspicious people in the club and no car that matched her description," Wharton said. "We are proud we were able to help the FBI dispel this myth pretty quickly."
The club long ago placed itself under 24/7 surveillance and uses numerous infrared security cameras and an off-site recording system, which stores several weeks of video records.
Access to the range is also limited to members only through a locked gate.
"We require everybody to have had a background check before accepting them for membership. Then when they pay their dues and complete a safety inspection, they have access with a magnetic card," Wharton said.

Tommy Castro didn't hesitate.
Tommy Castro didn't hesitate.
"He's the greatest," Castro said reflexively, respectfully and with finality. "Absolutely, without a doubt, all things considered: his playing, singing, longevity, attitude. The way he conducts his business. His accomplishments.
"Nobody could hold a candle to him. He's the undisputed king of the blues. That's it."
Castro and his recently re-aligned band (the Painkillers) will be part of that regal court Wednesday when they open for B.B. King at Stockton's Bob Hope Theatre.
King remains the living legacy of American electric blues. Now 87, he, his fabled guitar (Lucille) and eight-man band still perform 100 times a year. For much of his 64-year career, it was 340 shows annually.
"He's played for the Queen of England and all over the world," said Castro, 57, a King acolyte since he was a San Jose teenager.
King succinctly summarized his continuing impact in "Blues All Around Me," his 1996 autobiography: "My music was heard by still another new generation of young people who seemed to feel the same thing I'd felt when I first heard the blues sung by my uncle Jack hollering in the cotton fields outside Indianola (Miss.): raw emotion."
That's certainly what Castro felt and has helped perpetuate during a 19-year career. The 15-year-old Castro discovered the blues masters through Mike Bloomfield, Johnny Winter, Jimmy Page and Eric Clapton, among others.
"I started to gravitate toward the real guys," he said recently from Tiburon, where he lives. "Freddie and Albert King, Muddy Waters and B.B. He inspired everybody. I studied B.B.'s style and got my first B.B. records. I didn't listen to anything else for awhile after that."
Castro eventually got to hear King a lot while opening for him on 60- and 30-show tours.
"Here I am, years later, playing the blues for a living," Castro said. "I really didn't think anything was gonna happen. Those earliest days on tour were mind-blowing to me. He's such a nice guy. Easy to talk to. Really friendly. Gracious. I learned a lot by watching him do his thing on and offstage."
Riley B. King, born into a segregated society in Itta Bena, Miss., picked cotton, milked cows and drove a tractor near Indianola and Kilmichael, Miss.
Transfixed by the sounds of Mississippi John Hurt, T-Bone Walker, Lonnie Johnson and cousin Bukka White, he'd peek through cracks in the wall to watch dances and shows.
At 13, King "heard a whistle in my head" and left home. His wanderings led him to Memphis, Tenn., with White, who gave him his first real guitar. King played on radio shows in West Memphis, Ark., before making his first records for a Los Angeles-based company.
King developed his own - and much mimicked - string-bending style, recording 59 albums and 128 singles. "The Thrill Is Gone" (No. 15 in 1970) is his signature song.
A member of the Rock and Roll and Blues Halls of Fame, he's won 16 Grammy Awards, a lifetime achievement Grammy, the Kennedy Center Honor, National Medal of Arts and Presidential Medal of Honor. He owns eight blues clubs, including one in Las Vegas, where he lives.
King's done plenty of traveling with Lucille, his Gibson electric guitar. He now plays the "80th birthday" model.
Castro is keeping the faith. On March 4, he'll release a green vinyl 45-rpm single with a double-sided meaning: "Greedy" bluntly assesses the country's income disparity and "That's All I Got" offers love and compassion.
"There's a big gap widening between the haves and have-nots," said Castro, who grew up as one of the latter. "People on that one side seem to just want to keep going that way. They're not concerned. The most disturbing thing is it's not a level playing field. Something really has to change. I want to shine a light on it.
"I don't have anything against being successful. That's fine, but not at the expense of everybody else. You have to do it with a conscience."
All of Castro's 14 albums were released on casette tape and CD. So, he wanted to go a little retro.
"There's nothing better than putting on an old record player," said Castro. "It's just a different sound altogether. I've started to collect vinyl again. I got rid of all mine. I kind of regret it now."
That's hardly the case with his renamed Painkillers. Randy McDonald, his original bass player, is back to join drummer Byron Cage and keyboard player James Pace.
"We wanted something with a little bit of an edge to it," Castro said. "Our music is something to make you feel better. We're really not the Vicodins, It's based on the idea that music is healing. It tends to relieve people's trouble."
King has been doing that for a lifetime.
"It's gonna be terrible, but inevitably he won't be with us anymore," Castro said. "I'm surprised he's still doing it. I don't think I'll have it in me to be playing when I'm 87."

A few fun, free and maybe even useful things to do if the government closes shop
It looks increasingly likely that most federal employees will soon face a compulsory unpaid vacation, also known as a government shutdown. Like those mandatory meetings you are "invited" to attend by your boss, it seems like this is going to be one of those times where you would almost certainly rather be somewhere -- anywhere -- else.
But perhaps there is a silver lining in this dark cloud. Traditionally, feds are paid for lost wages once things start moving again. And although this is no certainty, especially given the radical nature of the newly elected House freshmen, there's a good chance that your lost pay will eventually catch up with you.
So we can look at this as chance to have a little fun, though it's a good idea to do it cheaply since there might not be any money coming in for a while.
There is one thing I've learned over the past decade covering feds: Most of them are patriots. They come to work every day, do the best that they can without complaint, and move this country forward in both small and large ways. My father worked for the National Institute of Standards and Technology his entire working life, almost up to his death, and he was that type of fed.
The prospect of taking a vacation for people like that is actually a tough sell. So here are a few ways you can make good -- or at least fun -- use of your time way from the job.
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency needs your help in developing technology to track enemy submarines. The agency has created a game with a serious mission behind it: to test out an anti-submarine vessel it's building.
DARPA needs to see how different configurations of the vehicle will work at sea in a detailed simulation in which you track down an enemy sub trying to escape your pursuit. When you are finished playing, you can upload your score and techniques to DARPA for analysis. Who knows, perhaps if you are good enough, you might even get recruited for a little anti-submarine work while you wait to go back to your old job. The leader boards for the game are a little thin right now, so it's anyone's game, literally.
If government leaders have left you out of work, and you think you could have done better, why not take over a government yourself? We in the GCN Lab have fallen in love lately with a little free war simulation called WarFlow. It puts you in charge of a small kingdom in ancient China. You have to manage your government and your people, fight wars and generally increase the honor and power of your nation. See if you can avoid a government shutdown!
As a bonus, the persistent world game runs in a little Flash window without sound. So when you do get back to work, you can probably peek in to see how your kingdom is doing from time to time without getting in trouble.
And if a shutdown lasts a long time, even beating the current record of 21 days from back in December 1995, you are going to need a serious time-waster. My favorite online game of all time, "Lord of the Rings Online," became free to play earlier this year.
You can spend months and months playing this game and not see all there is within its world. Given that it's based on the books of J.R.R. Tolkien, this should not be a surprise. I'm part of a small guild on the Meneldor server called Keepers of the Red Book. We would be more than happy to accept displaced feds as honored temporary guests, or as longtime friends. Just send an in-game letter to my hobbit, Circee, and we'll be happy to show you around. You might be out of work, but you can still be a hero online with us.
Of course, we're having a little fun with the Impressions column today, pointing out some fun things to do if the government shuts down, but we realize this is serious business. We hope that if a shutdown does take place, that everyone can get back to work as soon as possible. But if you aren't allowed to work, we figure you might as well enjoy yourself as best you can in the meantime.
If you have any suggestions for what you plan to do during the shutdown, let us know. Your ideas might even help a fellow fed unwind in this stressful time.

So now there is no shutdown, but you have be addicted to all these online games! Help me Dr. Phil!
Even though I won't be allowed to work during the shutdown, I will be catching up on mid-years and other things I usually do on my own time at night, after working all day and being in end-to-end meetings. Looking forward to a break so I can get caught-up, but I hope it's not too long - we have deadlines that won't change regardless of what Congress thinks!
It sounds like fun. I was actually looking forward to the furlough. I have plenty of savings, and could use the time off. However, the Veterans health Administration is funded for this year (2 year funding in 2010), so I'll be at work Monday, instead of at a fishing hole.
Looks like we are out of here! I guess I'll see you online.

Ashley Monroe, "Like a Rose" (Warner Bros.)
"You Ain't Dolly (And You Ain't Porter)," a single from Ashley Monroe's album, "Like a Rose," finds her trading tongue-in-cheek lines with country star Blake Shelton on a witty duet soaked in Nashville traditions.
Despite what the lyrics contend, Monroe shares many traits with Dolly Parton. She comes from a struggling family in East Tennessee. She sings in a fetching, tender-yet-strong warble. She writes story-songs steeped in real-life drama, yet with a sunny underpinning. And she has a natural, down-home charisma that shines through on everything she does.
A member of the Pistol Annies, Monroe's big-name supporters are many: Vince Gill co-produced her album and she's already collaborated with Jason Aldean, Ronnie Dunn, Wanda Jackson, Ricky Skaggs, Jack White, Dwight Yoakam and the rock band Train. No wonder "Like a Rose" has the audacious sound of a newcomer whose talent is already in full bloom.

NHGOP launches web site chiding Hassan's 'House of Cards' budget planBy JOHN DiSTASO
Senior Political Reporter
March 01. 2013 4:31PM
"Reject Maggie Hassan's irresponsible 'House of Cards' budget," says a new website launched Friday afternoon by the New Hampshire Republican Party.
Ratcheting up its attacks on the Democratic governor and her decision to include $80 million in casino licensing fee revenue in her proposed fiscal 2014-2015 budget, the NHGOP has put up NHBudget.com, which urges visitors to "sign the petition for a balanced budget today."
"She has built a fiscally irresponsible house of cards that could collapse at any moment," the web site says.
The state Democratic Party chair, Raymond Buckley, called the site "silly" and "utter nonsense."
The Republican site also chides the governor for calling for an end to the Education Tax Credit Scholarship Fund.
GOP chair Horn said, "Governor Hassan is gambling with New Hampshire's future and constructing a fiscally irresponsible house of cards that could collapse at any minute. Her proposal is so reckless that even prominent Democrats including Attorney General Michael Delaney and House Finance Chairman Mary Jane Wallner are speaking out against it and call her plan a 'mistake.'
"New Hampshire deserves a governor who is willing to show leadership and propose a responsible budget that does not rely on phony, fraudulent and illegal gambling revenue to balance our books," Horn says. "Republicans are committed to exposing the devastating impact of the governor's budget and proposing real solutions to preserve the state's fiscal integrity and maintain the New Hampshire Advantage."
Buckley countered, "As Bobby Jindal said, the GOP needs to stop being the 'stupid party' and they should start right here in NH. The New Hampshire Republican Party must believe the voters of NH are stupid, but the voters are not and they are not going to fall for such utter nonsense like this silly web site. New Hampshire voters are actually asking where are the ideas and solutions from (House Republican Leader) Gene Chandler and House Republicans? And Jennifer Horn should probably be more concerned about her own house, since it has a lien on it for the $92,000 she owes in back taxes."

Hey guys, I wrote a Vi tutorial for MsMitten's newsletter so I thought I would post it here for everyone to see:
~A Vi Tutorial~
by Lansing_Banda
Vi (pronounced "vee eye") is a *nix text editor that was originally developed by Bill Joy in 1976. Bill more or less hacked up two very bad editors of his day called "ed" and "em," put them together, and Vi was born. A more detailed history is located here: http://www.cs.pdx.edu/~kirkenda/joy84.html
Over the years there have been many differant releases of Vi. These include but are not limited to VIM, Elvis, Vile, Lemmy, NVi, Stevie, WinVi, XVi, Pvic, etc... But the basic concepts of Vi have stayed in tact in all of them.
The difference between Vi and any other text editor is that Vi has two modes. A "command mode", and a "insert mode." The command mode lets you quickly move around the document, delete lines, insert lines, and whatever else you feel like doing. The insert mode is used to insert new text. Now you may be saying to yourself, "Well why don't I just use my mouse and the toolbar commands in my notepad?" Well because in the before time when the terminal was king, mouses were not really used all that often <gasp>! Vi almost simulates free formating in a terminal (I know that doesn't make much sense; let me explain): instead of having to punch the up arrow 100 times and then go to the end of the line and then press ctrl + H 20 times as you would have to do in pico; in Vi you just type 1G, and dd (see?).
Okay so on to the commands:
When you first enter a terminal, you are going to be presented with your shell prompt:
To enter into the Vi text editor, simply type Vi or Vim (depending on what version you have). This will present you with a empty page full of '~'. These represent empty lines. Right now there is little that you can do except start entering text, so lets do that. Right now you are in the "command mode." In the command mode you can enter various commands, which you will learn later. With these commands you can specify also how many times to do that activity by putting a number in front of it.
Example: dd deletes one line, but 4dd deletes four. Get it?
note: From now on, when I type ^ and then a letter (^P) I mean <Ctrl> letter.
to enter the insert mode you must type either
note: 'a' = puts you in insert mode after the character your cursor is on
'i' = puts you in insert mode before the character your cursor is on
To exit insert mode simply press:
Now you are back in insert mode. To quit Vi, in command mode type:
More than likely it is going to say "No write since last change" so you either have to save your document with:
:w filename
or use the command:
which exits regardless of the document state.
note: if you are editing a file that already has a saved filename, you can exit and save at the same time with:
Now go through your files and find a text full file that we can play around with. To open that file type:
Vi filename
Okay, now lets learn how to move around in Vi. The most basic movements in command mode are the arrow keys:
up, down, left, right or h, j, k, and l (which do the same movement)
If you feel like getting more complicated then use these keys which also do the same thing:
+, -, <backspace>, <space>
To Scroll you can use either:
^D (scroll down)
^U (scroll up)
^F (page down)
^B (page up)
There are many more ways to move around (like next word, next white space, etc...), but I will let you look at those later at the end of the file.
Next we will learn how to search. The two handiest commands are
for search and
for goto. To use the first one, simply enter command mode by hitting
and type
then whatever you are trying to find. Say I wanted to find the symbol @ in my file:
would take me right to it. Then you can hit
to go to the next occurrence of that string or
to go to a previous. Next, the 'G' command lets you go to any line you want to. Simply type the line number and then
If I wanted to go to line 128:
would take me there.
note: If you don't specify a number and just hit 'G', you will be taken to the end of the file. To go to the beginning of the file, use
A final note on moving. If you move somewhere you didn't want to go or would just like to move back to your original position, just type
' ' (that is two apostrophes without spaces)
Now we are going to learn how to delete text, copy text, and paste text. The easiest way to delete text is with the 'x' command. Just put the cursor over a letter and hit:
You can also use a number in front to say how many letters to delete:
deletes four letters. The next delete command is:
which deletes one word forward and:
which deletes one word backward. Once again these can both be used with the numbers. Finally, there is the:
command which will delete a single line unless you add a number before it. If you make a mistake and delete something that you really didn't want to delete, then the:
command will fix that right up. It will restore the last mistake you made. Try and use it twice; it will restore the mistake you just made.
Next we have the yank command which is achieved with:
It will copy text. You can also use the number commands in front of it.
note: yank starts at position 0 so:
will yank 4 lines.
Possibly one of the greatest thing about Vi is its buffers. It has 26 different buffers that you can store text in (a-z). You can call the buffers with the
command where n is the name of the buffer. For example:
will store 5 lines of text into the buffer named 'a.' You can then print that buffer back out using:
The great thing about buffers is that they can be used to store anything in. Say you were writing some code and wanted to delete something for the time being but you might want to use it later:
would delete 5 lines and store it in buffer q so you could use it later.
That is all for now, go to the link below for more information on Vi and for some more commands.
All my information came from prior knowledge and:
which is a document written by Bill Joy.

Louisiana police say a woman's report that she was set on fire by a group of men in a hate-crime attack was a hoax.
Investigators say forensic evidence collected from a Winnsboro park shows that Sharmeka Moffitt painted racist graffiti on her car, then set herself on fire before calling police.
Officers arrived just minutes after her 911 call was placed, but saw no sign of Moffitt's alleged attackers.
She was taken to a Shreveport hospital, where she is still being treated for severe burns covering more than 60 percent of her body.

Goffstown police sergeant fights suspension
The Goffstown Board of Selectmen has until mid-April to make a ruling on whether police Sgt. David Rivard should be suspended for five days without pay for alleged insubordination stemming from three incidents involving Rivard and patrol officers under his command.
At a grievance hearing on Thursday, March 28, Rivard's attorney, Tracy Culberson, questioned Goffstown Police Chief Patrick Sullivan over his decision to suspend the sergeant, saying the department's failure to comply with its own guidelines should negate the punishment handed down. Culberson also argued that the punishment given Rivard was neither fair nor reasonable in light of the nature of the infractions.
Rivard's suspension was based on three write-ups he received for insubordination. He was twice cited by Sullivan for failing to get officers under his command out on patrol 15 minutes after the start of morning roll call, which begins each day at 7 a.m.
In another incident, a Goffstown police officer was being honored at an awards banquet at Saint Anselm College, and Rivard allowed an officer under his command to leave his route so he could go to the college and personally congratulate his colleague.
In the third incident, Rivard allowed one of his officers to leave his route early one Monday morning to congratulate Manchester police officer Daniel Doherty, who was a guest at a radio station in Pinardville. At the time, Doherty had recently returned to duty after he was shot seven times last March by a man he was in the process of trying to arrest on the west side of the city.
According to Culberson, the third incident prompted Sullivan to issue what's called a Class 3 violation, one of the most severe that can be handed down and which involves being suspended without pay.
Police department policy is that officers are not allowed to leave their routes without permission from the police chief, Culberson said. But Culberson added that policy has not been uniformly or strictly applied in the past.
"This was an issue the chief created himself that didn't have to be created," said Culberson, who was once a police officer on the Goffstown force before becoming a lawyer. "He's picking a fight when there shouldn't be one."
Sullivan was represented at the hearing by the police department's prosecutor, Kerry Steckowych. The hearing was open to the public at Rivard's request, and it was broadcast live over the town's public access cable channel.
At one point the questioning of Sullivan turned on whether – under existing police department policy – Rivard's infractions should have been turned over to the department's internal affairs division.
"We went back and forth on the word 'should' as opposed to 'shall,'" said Culberson. "I think, at the end of the day, this hearing shined a light on the policies of the Police Department and how they get applied."
Culberson said he and his client are asking selectmen to overturn the violation and put Rivard back in the position he was in before the incidents.
"It's important for the public to know what Dave Rivard is being disciplined for," Culberson said. Citing the Saint Anselm incident, Culberson said, "Allowing a guy to leave his shift with half an hour left on it is not a major thing. That half-hour of the shift is usually a time when officers are doing their reports or cleaning out their cruisers."
Culberson said Rivard is a 22-year veteran of the Police Department whose personnel file is filled with commendations.
"It's just sad," he said. "This guy is probably one of the nicest guys you'd ever want to meet."

The TLV247x is a family of CMOS rail-to-rail input/ output
operational amplifiers that establishes a new performance point for supply
current versus ac performance. These devices consume just 600µA/channel while
offering 2.8MHz of gain-bandwidth product. Along with increased ac
performance, the amplifier provides high output drive capability, solving a
major shortcoming of older micropower operational amplifiers. The TLV247x can
swing to within 180mV of each supply rail while driving a 10mA load. For
non-RRO applications, the TLV247x can supply ±35mA at 500mV off the rail. Both the inputs and outputs swing
rail-to-rail for increased dynamic range in low-voltage applications. This
performance makes the TLV247x family ideal for sensor interface, portable
medical equipment, and other data acquisition circuits.

China's handset-makers plan home-grown platforms
Apple, Android takedown on the cards as 4G roll-out looms
Shen argued that knowing what segment to target is key to the success or failure of handset makers in a market where around 80 per cent of sales are made independently of carrier-based contracts.
"It is a hugely competitive market so you really need to make your products stand out and target a segment where you can excel," she told The Reg.
"Samsung and Apple are high end brands which position their devices as premium products so they can command premium prices while Huawei and ZTE are good at competing at the low end. There are many different segments to target but once you've decided then you need to put all your resources into things like marketing, branding and distribution."
Not in my back yard
For those big name handset makers and platform providers rubbing their hands with glee at the prospect of an ever growing mobile user base of potential customers, however, Deloitte's Chou had a word or two of warning.
He argued that, as in many other spheres of life, Chinese companies would eventually look to better and edge out their international rivals in the domestic market.
At the very low end of the smartphone market this will come in the form of "micro-innovation" in the shanzai industry, he said.
Now, shanzai are products deliberately designed to copycat more famous models at a fraction of the price, but Chou argued that shanzhai peddlers themselves will become increasingly innovative and mainstream in taking the best of well-known products like the iPhone and tailoring them to the domestic market.
Even established platform providers Apple and Google, which between them have most of the smartphone market, could see their mobile ecosystem empires challenged in time.
"No Chinese handset maker has a solid platform that can compete with Apple and Google yet but we are at a very early stage," he said. "Vendors like Huawei and Lenovo are providing smartphones not because they want to earn a profit from the sales but because they eventually want to dominate the application market."
Handset vendor Xiaomi already has its own OS while Lenovo is also working on a home grown platform, although the details of exactly how they plan to build their respective mobile ecosystems and eventually make money from different software and service offerings remain to be seen, Chou explained.
One way they could appeal to the domestic user, he suggested, was in offering pre-loaded services from home grown web companies which have the green light from government censors and are more popular Chinese equivalents of globally famous sites.
So, for Google read Baidu, for Twitter read Sina Weibo and instead of Facebook, Renren.
None of this is going to happen anytime soon, of course, but when it comes to China, things have a habit of moving faster than expected. ®

The low-maintenance slide gate valve is available in either manual or pneumatic operation. In the manual version, minimal turning of the hand-wheel compresses or relaxes the leaf spring assembly allowing the slide plate to rise or drop from the inlet collar. The valve is then opened or closed by pulling or pushing on the hand wheel. The pneumatic valve operates by an air cylinder closing the valve by forcing the leaf spring assembly to compress against internal stoppers. The slide plate rises to seal against the inlet collar. As the air cylinder withdraws, the leaf springs relax, allowing the slide plate to drop and slide clear of the inlet.
This unit also comes in a wide range of sizes, is offered in carbon or stainless steel versions, and is ideal for high temperatures and severe-duty applications. The slide gate valve lends itself to a wide range of free-flowing materials such as chemicals, minerals, foodstuffs, and plastics.

George Bald: A moratorium on renewable energy projects would hurt NHBY GEORGE BALD
January 19. 2014 11:46PM
Last spring, the New Hampshire Senate showed true leadership by defeating a moratorium on renewable energy development, keeping the state on track to meet its clean energy goals and attract valuable economic investment to New Hampshire.
The House of Representatives will have an opportunity this week to similarly defeat moratorium bills that would ban certain types of energy projects in our state, including renewable projects.
A moratorium would undercut years of efforts by state policymakers, the business community and environmental organizations who have worked hard to attract, retain and grow renewable energy business. New Hampshire will benefit if the House follows the Senate's lead and defeats these moratorium bills.
We need to attract new businesses and create jobs in New Hampshire — a moratorium on renewable energy tells entrepreneurs and investors to go elsewhere. It creates uncertainty in the marketplace, keeping businesses from planning and making sound investments. The business uncertainty associated with a moratorium does not allow for the proper planning and sound investment that is inherent in any successful enterprise.
Rather than closing the door to business via a moratorium, last year the Legislature directed the Office of Energy and Planning to analyze and report on New Hampshire's current Site Evaluation Committee process for evaluating new energy investments. The report, issued in December, provides substantial stakeholder and citizen feedback which can now be considered by the Legislature and the Site Evaluation Committee as they contemplate common sense improvements. These efforts should be given time to be completed.
Policy decisions like a moratorium can have consequences to the state's reputation as a business-friendly place and can directly affect projects that have a major economic benefit for the state. For example, one of the moratorium bills, HB 580, is directed at new wind energy facilities and could have a direct impact on economic development in New Hampshire.
A recent study by economist Ross Gittell (now chancellor of the Community College System of New Hampshire) and Matthew Magnusson shows that just one 30-megawatt wind project would bring nearly $56 million in economic development to surrounding cities and towns, and create nearly 100 construction jobs and more than a dozen post-construction jobs. Further statewide benefits include hundreds of thousands of dollars paid annually in utility property tax payments that benefit New Hampshire communities and schools, as well as a bevy of other positive economic impacts.
Properly siting energy infrastructure in New Hampshire, protecting our invaluable natural resources and maintaining our commitment to clean and renewable energy are critical to ensuring that New Hampshire remains an attractive place to live, work, and invest. Now is not the time to create business uncertainty in New Hampshire. A moratorium will only serve to undercut the gains that we have made in attracting renewable and clean business development.
The House of Representatives should heed the advice of the House Science, Technology and Energy Committee, which overwhelmingly voted against the moratorium bills, to prove once again that New Hampshire is serious about its clean energy future. The House should defeat these moratorium bills and maintain the state's ability to realize the economic and environmental benefits of clean, green renewable energy.
George Bald was commissioner of New Hampshire's Department of Resources and Economic Development for nearly 13 years. During that time, he was also a member of the New Hampshire Site Evaluation Committee.

ETC beneficial to Eagles coaches
BOULDER, CO -- After only one ETC camp, the Women's Eagles program is already noting the benefits such a selection vehicle can provide. Both head coaches are expected to include numerous non-pool players in the next National Team assemblies for both sevens and 15s.
Head 15s coach Pete Steinberg mentioned he was able to identify several players from the late-February camp that had not previously been recognized on the international level. A number of the designated players are expected to then be included in the Women's Eagles Top-60 camp from May 18-26 in Greeley, Colorado.
"I know Ric [Suggit] (Women's Eagles Sevens head coach) has already marked a few players he would like to have participate in the sevens team assembly next month," noted Steinberg. "Some of the performances from non-pool players were really outstanding."
Steinberg also pointed out "the application process paved the way for the non-pool players."
"Without the application process I don't know that a lot of these [non-pool] athletes would have been selected or invited to a National Team camp," said Steinberg.
While the camp served to spotlight future Women's Eagle candidates, the initial ETC also prioritized materials necessary for being a Women's Eagles player. Focus points included nutritional requirements, strength-training routines, mentality themes and general rugby skills.
"It was a long weekend with a lot of information and physical practice sessions [for the athletes]," said Danielle Miller, Seattle ETC head coach.
The USA Rugby AIG Women's Junior All-Americans head coach mentioned "the players' intensity was very high and the ability to remain focused was amazing. Focus allowed us to progress through all of the material."
Most notably to Miller in leading that focus were some of the veteran Women's Eagles.
"The returning [Women's] Eagles were a blessing to have at camp. They led by example to keep the intensity high and refocused players towards our goals of being in the Finals in 2014."
Head coach of the State College ETC Chris Amoratis also had a similar sentiment and is "looking forward to the March camp."
"The veterans (previous pool-players) really pulled everything together to get all of the details across for each session," said Amoratis. "I'm excited to see what the players are able to accomplish in the next ETC because now the non-pool players know what is expected of them and how to hold themselves at these camps."
The next camp is scheduled for March 22-24 at each of the ETC locations across the country.
Over 128 athletes participated in the opening ETC camp. Selections for the next ETC camp have yet to be determined. Invitations for returning players will be made through March 17.
The Women's Eagles will host matches against France from June 3-14 in southern California, and play in the Nations Cup July 26 to August 11.

The Greek urn may rank as civilization's highest achievement: a curvilinear fusion of form and function. The art historian ponders the ancient Greek urn while sipping coffee from the modern Greek urn: the paper cup.
Not any paper cup. The iconic blue-and-white version stamped with heroically steaming coffee and the immortal slogan: "We are happy to serve you." The paper goods professional knows this product by its reorder code name: the Anthora. The New Yorker knows it by its order code name: coffee. It's a highly regional cup. One filled millions of times a year.
Why the city that never sleeps needs an urn that never naps is for the sociologist to puzzle. Mortals know simply that about 50 years ago Leslie Buck — neither classicist, nor artist, nor Greek, but a sales manager at Sherri Cup Co. — sketched the blueprint. His cup became an instant classic.
The Anthora mixes high and low. Sugar and cream. Hot and cool.
The Anthora has been imitated. Recast in porcelain and vinyl. Reworked as T-shirt. Repurposed into coin purse. But its pleasing design remains unchanged. It captures the ancient Greek virtues of beauty, truth, symmetry and — at 8 ounces — moderation. It endures, as Keats would have it in his "Ode on a Grecian Urn," "For ever warm and still to be enjoy'd."
We raise a cup to coffee's finest vessel. And the late, of late, Leslie Buck, for making the New York morning 8 ounces happier.

The Court likely will decide whether or not to accept the case in February, but it remains a long shot
While it remains a formidable longshot, the Supreme Court may be asked to decide under what circumstances poker is gambling prohibited by federal law. A petition for certiorari filed on Nov. 13, 2013 asks the Court to take the matter up in the coming term. The Court likely will decide whether or not to accept the case in February, but it remains a long shot.
We have been following the outcome of the trial of Mr. Lawrence DiCristina who was convicted of running an illegal No Limit Texas Hold'em game in a Staten Island back-room. He was convicted after a jury trial in federal district court in Brooklyn. The jury concluded he violated the Illegal Gambling Business Act (IGBA), which outlaws "gambling businesses". After trial, however, Federal District Judge Jack B. Weinstein set aside his conviction. Judge Weinstein thoughtfully considered a mountain of legal scholarship on the law's view of poker, and carefully weighed conflicting expert testimony; he concluded poker did not fall within the IGBA's definition of gambling because poker was a game in which skill predominated over chance. Unfortunately for Mr. DiCristina, the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals disagreed with Judge Weinstein and reinstated the conviction. On Jan. 21, Mr. DiCristina was sentenced to one year of unsupervised probation.
Mr. DiCristina is a bicycle shop owner who ran Texas Hold'em games in back of his shop. He has no criminal record, and the government did not demonstrate he had any connection with organized crime. Indeed, Mr. DiCristina argues the government is illegitimately using a statute intended to combat organized crime as part of its "war on poker." The gist of his argument is that the Government misapplied the IGBA which prohibits only "gambling," which properly understood is limited to games of chance under federal law. Poker is not a game of chance and not gambling because it is a game predominated by skill.
When it reversed Judge Weinstein, the 2nd Circuit effectively avoided the skill vs. chance question by conceding skill predominated in poker, while looking elsewhere in the statute. The 2nd Circuit held that because the state law where the game was run (in this case New York State) made poker illegal, that effectively made running the poker game a violation of federal law (in New York anyway.) It did not matter whether or not poker fit the statutory definition of "gambling" under the IGBA. (Mr. DiCristina claims he was sandbagged by the court's surprise rationale.)
Mr. DiCristina advances two arguments in his petition. First, he argued that the 2nd Circuit's reliance on a violation of state law to determine whether he broke the law is wrong because the government must also show that the state law violation also violates a federal criminal statute criminalizing gambling. If the 2nd Circuit approach were to stand, he argues, an outlier state that criminalized contract bridge would automatically elevate playing bridge to a federal felony depending on where you were playing.
The second ground is a classic law school question of statutory construction. The federal definition of "gambling" in the IGBA does not list poker, but does list a variety of other games of chance such as pool selling, policy banking, slot machines, roulette wheels, and others that are generally accepted to be games of chance. In law school parlance, principles of ejusdem generis and noscitur a sociis, therefore, suggest that the IGBA should only apply similar games of chance, and not a game of skill, like poker.
As we observed last time, his chances are slim. Even if a member of court finds his arguments on the actual merits of the appeal are of interest, four justices must conclude there are compelling reasons to take the case beyond the fairness of the particular outcome.
As he was below, Mr. DiCristina is joined by amici curiae who have submitted lengthy briefs on his behalf. In addition to a brief filed by professional and amateur poker players who object to their game being branded a federal felony, Professor James McManus weighs in on behalf of the game of poker itself. Author of the "definitive history" of poker, he objects that the Government's overreaching attempts to criminalize a game enjoyed by presidents, congressmen, Supreme Court justices and the honest tax payers that pay their salaries. The average citizen should not face federal prosecution as though he were a member of organized crime for playing a game that historically is a positive part of American culture. A brief submitted by champion scrabble and bridge players — possibly worried they might be next — similarly criticizes a rationale that games played for money when an element of chance is involved should be lumped in the legitimate scope of the IGBA. Robert C. Herman, a professor of risk analysis & gaming at the University of Denver, weighs in and opines that the government's position is contrary to science because scientific authorities uniformly conclude poker is a game of skill. Finally, these amici are joined by the Poker Player Alliance, a non-profit organization of over one million poker players. They object to what they argue is an absurd result of the 2nd Circuit holding: That a game that millions of Americans play every day for money is now treated as a federal felony even though there is no evidence Congress intended to use the IGBA to criminalize poker at the federal level.
