House Energy and Commerce "Committee from Koch" to conduct global warming witch trial
- The Koch brothers contributed over a quarter of a million dollars to House Energy and Commerce Committee panel members in 2010
- The committee is stacking the witness stand with big polluters and their allies
- Americans strongly support protecting our air and holding polluters accountable
- Public health professionals and business leaders oppose efforts to handcuff EPA
This fact sheet was put together by Noreen Nielsen and CAPAF.
The House Energy and Commerce Committee plans to hold a hearing Wednesday to discuss blocking the Environmental Protection Agency's ability to reduce carbon dioxide pollution. We can expect the same old half-truths, misstatements, and outright lies from the new majority, with an extra dose of special interest pandering.
The reality, however, is that the draft legislation to stop EPA from setting pollution safeguards, proposed by Chairman Fred Upton (R-MI), Subcommittee Chair Ed Whitfield (R-KY), and Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK) is nothing less than an attempt to give big polluters free rein to dirty the air we breathe and the water we drink. This proposed language""which was hatched at a secret meeting between the bill's sponsors and other energy-related trade lobbyists""would protect corporate polluters and their profits at the expense of public health. But a deeper look into the panel members' campaign money and political ties reveals that their efforts to shield polluters from regulation should really come as no surprise:
The Koch brothers contributed over a quarter of a million dollars to House Energy and Commerce Committee panel members in 2010
- The Koch brothers and their employees are the biggest oil and gas donors to lawmakers sitting on the House Energy and Commerce Committee. They contributed $279,500 to 22 of the committee's 31 Republicans and $32,000 to five Democrats.
- Nine of the 12 new Republicans on the panel signed the Koch-funded Americans for Prosperity "No Climate Tax" pledge that opposed any government action to reduce carbon dioxide pollution.
- Koch front-group Americans for Prosperity spent over $200,000 on ads to help key Energy and Commerce Committee members in the 2010 elections. Five of the six GOP freshman lawmakers on the panel benefited from the group's separate advertising and grassroots activity during the 2010 campaign.
- Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Rep. Fred Upton (R-MI) received $20,000 from Koch employees in 2010, making them among his top 10 donors.
- Koch operatives met with Rep. Upton on the first day of the 112th Congress to discuss gutting the Clean Air Act by handcuffing the EPA.
- Koch Industries, the private company of the billionaire Koch brothers, is one of the primary sources of carbon pollution in the United States
- According to the EPA, Koch Industries is responsible for more than 300 oil spills in the United States and has leaked 3 million gallons of crude oil into fisheries and drinking waters. They were fined a record $35 million and an additional $8 million in Minnesota for discharging into streams.
The committee is stacking the witness stand with big polluters and their allies
- National Black Chamber of Commerce president Harry Alford has received $425,000 from ExxonMobil since 1998.
- Margo Thorning is the vice president and chief economist for the American Council for Capital Formation, or ACCF. ACCF has received $215,000 from Koch foundations and nearly $1.7 million from ExxonMobil.
- Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott's 2010 campaign was heavily funded by some of Texas's largest industries, with most coming from people connected to oil and gas interest. A vocal climate-denier, Abbott sued the Obama administration to end an offshore oil-drilling moratorium instituted following the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, and has taken the federal EPA to court three times in the past year.
- Lonnie Carter is president of Santee Cooper, the largest single mercury polluter in South Carolina.
- Steve Cousins is vice president of Lion Oil, which ranks 27 on the list of top 100 facilities releasing chemicals such as nitrous oxides, sulfur dioxide, particulate matter, carbon monoxide, and benzene into the environment.
- Peter Glaser of Troutman Sanders LLP works with the Washington Legal Foundation, which has received $325,000 from ExxonMobil since 1998.
- Fred Harnack represents the U.S. Steel Corporation, which ranks 19th on the 2010 Political Economy Research Institute Toxic 100 Air Polluters list.
- James Pearce is the environmental general manager for FMC Corp., which had to pay the largest civil penalty ever obtained under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act for repeatedly violating the hazardous waste law at its phosphorus production facility in Pocatello, Idaho.
- Steve Rowlan is the environmental general manager at Nucor Corp., which is 24 on the 2010 Political Economy Research Institute Toxic 100 Air Polluters list.
- Self-proclaimed "climate-denier-in-chief" Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK), and one of the draft legislation sponsors, will also testify at the hearing.
- Illinois Farm Bureau president Phillip Nelson has a history of attacking air and water safeguards, while supporting big polluting mega-farms.
Americans strongly support protecting our air and holding polluters accountable
- Seventy-seven percent of the public""including 61 percent of Republicans""oppose efforts in Congress to block Clean Air Act updates for carbon dioxide, smog, and other pollutants according to a recent National Resources Defense Council poll.
- Nearly two-thirds of Americans believe the EPA needs to do more to hold polluters accountable and protect our air and water.
- A recent USA Today/Gallup Poll showed that of the eight actions Congress could take this year, Americans most favor an energy bill that provides incentives for using alternative energy (83 percent).
- The vast majority of Republicans""as well as a majority of Americans""oppose the Newt Gingrich plan to dismantle the EPA. More than 75 percent of the respondents oppose congressional efforts to limit the EPA's authority to enforce the Clean Air Act
Public health professionals and business leaders oppose efforts to handcuff EPA
- Since its founding the EPA's standard setting and polluter accountability efforts have prevented 205,000 premature deaths, 843,000 asthma attacks, 18 million child respiratory illnesses, and more.
- The economic benefits of the Clean Air Act rules outweighed the costs by more than 20-to-1 in 2010. It will be nearly 30-to-1 by 2020, according to an Environmental Protection Agency analysis.
- Public health professionals from the American Lung Association to the Trust for America's Health and the American Public Health Association oppose Rep. Upton's bill.
- More than 60,000 small businesses sent a letter to the White House and Congress urging them to support the EPA's ability to enforce the Clean Air Act.

You start to get the impression that "Koch" runs everything made in USA. What is next? King Koch crowned in front of the memorial building?
Good luck and Good Night!
How is the witness list formed?Do members of the minority party on a committee have no say at all in who may testify?Can they have at least one witness of their own choosing? More than one? Why aren't the Dems raising a stink about this? Didn't the repubs try to derail some legislation last year by refusing to show up at a meeting.Why are the dems just rolling over and playing dead?
What are we to make of the fact that these are very small amounts of money in the grand scheme of things?
CW: Politicians have a surprisingly low price at which they prostitute themselves.
A minor correction…
Politicians seem to have a surprisingly low price for their loyalty.
While there is no hard evidence in this case, I wouldn't rule out secret offshore "retirement" accounts.
GFW: That strikes me as too simple an explanation. I mean, $280K? If all the climateprogress.org readers chipped in six or seven bucks each we'd equal or beat that. But even if we did, it's not as if they'd take our money and start talking about how urgent it is to take action to reduce emissions. There's obviously gotta be more to the story and CP should talk about how it is that these paltry figures influence to the extent that they do. Zetetic's explanation is plausible. We need more though.
I agree that more investigate reporting seems to need to be done on many of the politicians involved, especially those that have become turn-coats for the economic and environmental well-being of the USA. Unfortunately such reporting often takes time and resources.
As you stated the question is why the change in others like Upton… Maybe his old position was an act? Maybe he just really craves any sort of higher position and doesn't care what he has to do to get it? Bribes? Who knows….but the answer should be enlightening, and may help point to better short term tactics.
But for long term tactics, a couple of things that I've though might help create progress on the AGW front are…
1) Offering job training for many of the workers that might lose their jobs in the fossil fuel industries.
2) I personally think that the " Cap and Fade " approach suggested by James Hansen would be both more effective, simpler to institute, and much easier to promote to the general public than the generally proposed Cap-and-Trade system.
Investigating the motives behind the denialism is important (especially in the short term), but IMO the long run needs to be one by a better appealing of the benefits to the public and showing that the Democrats are concerned about the consequences to those in impacted industries. I don't think that the Dems have been "playing" a good game there.
The Republicans have been very good about using the "stick" of immediate fears (as opposed to distant and "theoretical" concerns) on the public. The Dems need to counter with a more immediate "carrot" of the benefits, like in the "Cap-and-Fade" proposal.
At least that's my amateur opinion. ;)
CW: note the comments about advertising in the 2010 campaign. Get a big industry group on-side, and you might find your election campaign advertising fund effectively doubles or triples in size… and that's in addition to campaign fund donations.
In Australia a favourite mechanism for paying off a loyal political stooge is the retirement 'consultancy'. The politician retires, joins a 'merchant bank' (allowing a good laugh on rhyming slang lines that he or she has finally been conclusively exposed as a 'merchant banker')who seem to handle the flows of dodgy money for much of the parasite class, and get a lazy million or so, per year, for their 'experience' and 'contacts'. It's a sort of post hoc corruption, but don't ever say so, because our libel laws are nearly as brutal as those in the UK. Some other political humbugs get amazing business 'insider' opportunities which feeds their egos as great 'businessmen'.Then there are the massive sums paid for mind-numbing auto-hagiographies that are immediately remaindered and for after dinner chats to businessmen, masquerading as oratory. I believe Blair has turned over tens of millions through these scams. It makes all those ritual denunciations of 'corruption' amongst the untermenschen in China, India, Africa and all the other swarthy lands that much more ridiculous and cynical.
Nucor has a mill located in Seattle on the waterfront.
Here is what the website says about the mill:
"Nucor Steel Seattle is a proud member of the Nucor Bar Mill Group. Since 1904 our facility once proclaimed as "Seattle Little Pittsburgh" has continually strived to be the safest, community oriented, environmentally responsible, and profitable business we can be. Our customer base is spread throughout the Pacific Northwest, northern California and Canada. We have the flexibility to deliver on hundreds of grades, shapes and lengths to fit your specific application."
If one uses the Seattle facility as an example, Nucor should have no problem meeting the rules since it uses Seattle City Light's hydropower generated electricity to power its electric arc furnace.
Mulga #7.
Spot on as always. And of course over here we have a Chancellor of the Exchequer putting another 800 million charge on banks. 800 million is chicken feed compared to the billions in profit the banks extract from the populace at large in charges, many slipped in under so called 'improved account arrangements'.
Meanwhile local authorities are making cuts to libraries, already stripped of most books on the sciences, and sports facilities especially swimming pools which will adversely affect the lives of the disadvantaged. After all bankers and their associates in government can afford to use expensive sports clubs, gyms and spas.
There is a petition going over here to persuade the Chancellor to stop using tax dodges to avoid paying £1.6 million:
George Osborne likes to say "we're all in this together." But last week, Channel 4 revealed that he's avoiding paying tax. He pays accountants to help him find loopholes which Channel 4 reckon will help him dodge £1.6million. These kind of "legal tax dodges" cost the rest of us billions.
Another plan in the works is for the government to sell off swaths of forest to private entities with a petition against that at that same site above.
This Conservative led administration seems keen to roll out much legislature that will push more money to their backers, and as fast as possible before the public dissatisfaction dam bursts and they get booted out by a vote of no confidence.
@6 You have a sound point. Raise the money through a PAC and you will find that the PAC money is a small part of being the party of people who actually agree with the climate deniers.
@7 Readers in parts of the world where climate deniers can hide behind libel laws might consider that thanks to the internet Oz News or whatever can perfectly well operate in the USA behind American business partners and American libel laws. As anonymous has demonstrated, even a dictator has issues hiding his misdeeds such as climate denial from his people.
America's becoming a pollutocracy.
Other news; WikiLeaks cables: Saudi Arabia cannot pump enough oil to keep a lid on prices
US diplomat convinced by Saudi expert that reserves of world's biggest oil exporter have been overstated by nearly 40%
Put this alongside Royal Dutch|Shell findings from an audit that their estimates of reserves were actually ~42% lower than thought, and not a single independent audit of all OPEC countries reserves (P90) has been made (they refuse to do so) while their P90 estimates fluctuate more than BP's share values, and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to suspect that we could be headed for an oil crash that would make the 2008 banking collapse look like someone broke their piggy bank and the coins rolled down a drain.
The GOP: a wholly-owned subsidiary of Koch Industries.
Meanwhile, back in the real world where people have to eat, the UN is reporting that the failures in China's grain crop (NYT) due to droughts may force China to buy grain on the world market.
On top of the failure of this year and next year's Russian grain crop, and world food prices at an all time high.
Guess the Committee doesn't have to eat.
Someone hit on the perception of a pittance in another thread. It isn't the pittance donations but the threat that they'll fund a challenger to their seat at not pittance levels. It appears not only that Citizens United allows corporations to buy politicians but to buy them for 'free.'
Of course there is also the likelihood of secret or hidden donations and simple old fashioned blackmail. Which given the state of the media doesn't really need to be 'real' either. A representative that doesn't toe the line could be convicted in the court of public opinion before any genuine investigation into the facts of the allegations is begun.
Koch brothers now at heart of GOP power
The billionaire brothers' influence is most visible in the makeup of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, where members have vowed to undo restrictions on greenhouse gases.
Reporting from Washington — The billionaire brothers David and Charles Koch no longer sit outside Washington's political establishment, isolated by their uncompromising conservatism. Instead, they are now at the center of Republican power, a change most evident in the new makeup of the House Energy and Commerce Committee.
Wichita-based Koch Industries and its employees formed the largest single oil and gas donor to members of the panel, ahead of giants like Exxon Mobil, contributing $279,500 to 22 of the committee's 31 Republicans, and $32,000 to five Democrats.
Nine of the 12 new Republicans on the panel signed a pledge distributed by a Koch-founded advocacy group — Americans for Prosperity — to oppose the Obama administration's proposal to regulate greenhouse gases. Of the six GOP freshman lawmakers on the panel, five benefited from the group's separate advertising and grass-roots activity during the 2010 campaign. http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-koch-brothers-20110206,0,1681069.story
Democracy Inaction: Koch Brother's Money and Congress
I won't waste a lot of your time here, just please read this story in Sunday's LA Times.
It reports in comprehensive detail the tale of the two brothers' horrifically outsized influence over American politics.
I've blogged on the Koch's a bunch of times before, here and here, and there is great coverage out there of Charles and David, particularly Jane Mayer's profile of Manhattan socialite David Koch (Charles lives in Wichita, where Koch Industries–the nation's second most valuable privately held company–is based). The two are reportedly worth over $21 billion each.
The LA Times article lays bare the Koch's purchase of power, through their own donations, their pet astroturf group–Americans For Prosperity–and the contributions of their employees. http://switchboard.nrdc.org/blogs/tspencer/democracy_inaction_koch_brothe.html
Real-life Darth Vader/ Emperor Palpatine duo now in charge of U.S. energy policy
The bad news is that we now have a political climate in Congress that could only be more lethal to action on clean energy and climate change if it were made out of mustard gas. The worse news is that the reason things have gotten to this sorry state is that a pair of aging billionaires who are the closest thing this country has to evil incarnate are spending liberally from their giant pots o' gold, establishing a sort of shadow GOP that takes on many of the roles that would previously have been the sole purview of national and state parties.
Koch is Anti Democratic and follows a secret Communist Agenda
Anti-Abortion Group's "Pimp" Stunt Targets Planned Parenthood
The group, Live Action, claims the video shows Planned Parenthood employees "offering guidance on how the pimp's underage girls can get insurance through tax payer funded programs …
In a statement, a Planned Parenthood spokesperson says, "We have reviewed the tapes, and the conversation as portrayed is not accurate. These tapes are part of a nationwide campaign by this group. Unlike other publicized tapes, the hoax patients in New York were not able to get beyond the reception desk for a private consultation.
For those keeping score at home, Live Action was founded by anti-abortion activist Lila Rose, who collaborated on the idea to infiltrate clinics with O'Keefe. Media Matters follows the money: "Lila Rose's anti-choice activism began with a grant from Morton Blackwell's Leadership Institute, which has been training young right-wingers for leadership roles for more than 30 years… I recently attended one of the Institute's breakfast meetings with news-makers; the speaker was Tim Phillips, president of the Americans for Prosperity Foundation, the astroturf group founded and chaired by David Koch. Phillips, you see, is a graduate of the Institute, as are many right-wing luminaries." http://gothamist.com/2011/02/08/anti-abortion_groups_pimp_stunt_tar.php
Surprise, "Hoax'ers" and David Koch again …
@ Prokaryotes #20:
Not surprising considering what a dishonest scumbag O'Keefe is.
I see it as likely to be the vanguard of an further attack by Republicans on the reproductive rights of women. Get some juicy footage on Fox to play up, ignore the fact the it was faked, then use it as justification to restrict abortion and other forms of family planning.
After the Republicans attempt to de-fund abortions for rape victims got too much negative attention, they seem to be "regrouping" for another push.
A leaked invitation to the [Rancho Mirage] retreat, which finished yesterday, informed guests that they were meeting "to review strategies for combating the multitude of public policies that threaten to destroy America as we know it". These apocalyptic threats included "climate change alarmism and the move to socialised health care", as well as "the regulatory assault on energy". In his covering note on the invitation Charles asked: "If not us, who? If not now, when?""
He uses unjustified rhetoric, he basically is a liar.
This grumpy old man should enjoy his last years and do one thing and one thing only – to STFU!
All his arguments are just smoke and hot air when plotted to the best what the entire world science community has to offer.
So again, STFU Charles, David and whom ever follows these cliff jumpers!
Good thing warmers are peace loving, law abiding citizens. Dark side deniers have no such restrictions. So they win the battles but will lose the war. Everybody loses the war.
Pollution and Resource Fines
In March 1999, Koch Petroleum Group, a Koch Industries subsidiary, pled guilty to charges that it had negligently dumped hundreds of thousands of gallons of aviation fuel into wetlands near the Mississippi River from its refinery in Rosemount, Minnesota, and that it had also illegally dumped a million gallons of high-ammonia wastewater onto the ground and into the Mississippi River. Koch Petroleum paid the Dakota County Park System a $6 million fine and $2 million in remediation costs, and was ordered to serve three years of probation.[31]
In 1999, a federal jury found that Koch Industries had stolen oil from government and American Indian lands, had lied about its purchases more than 24,000 times, and was fined $553,504.[32]
In January 2000, Koch Industries subsidiary, Koch Pipeline, agreed to a $35 million settlement with the U.S. Justice Department and the State of Texas. This settlement, including a $30 million civil fine, was incurred for the firm's three hundred oil spills in Texas and five other states going back to 1990.[33][34][35] The spills resulted in more than three million gallons of crude oil leaking into ponds, lakes, streams and coastal waters.[36]
In 2001, the company reached two settlements with the government. In April, the company reached a $20 million settlement in exchange for admitting to covering up environmental violations at its refinery in Corpus Christi, Texas.[37][38] That May, Koch Industries paid $25 million to the federal government to settle a federal lawsuit that found the company had improperly taken more oil than it had paid for from federal and Indian land.[39][40]
In June 2003, the US Commerce Department fined Koch Industries subsidiary Flint Hill Resources a $200,000 civil penalty. The fine settled charges that the company exported crude petroleum from the US to Canada without proper US government authorization. The Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security said from July 1997 to March 1999, Koch Petroleum (later called Flint Hill Resources) committed 40 violations of Export Administration Regulations.[41]
In 2006, Koch Industries' subsidiary Flint Hill Resources was fined nearly $16,000 by the EPA for 10 separate violations of the Clean Air Act at its Alaska oil refinery facilities, and required to spend another $60,000 on safety equipment needed to help prevent future violations.[42]
In 2007, Koch Nitrogen's plant in Enid, Oklahoma, was listed as the third highest company releasing toxic chemicals in Oklahoma, according to the EPA, ranking behind Perma-Fix Environmental Services in Tulsa and Weyerhaeuser Co. in Valliant.[43] The facility produces about 10% of the US national production of anhydrous ammonia, as well as urea and UAN.[44]
In 2009, Koch subsidiary Invista agreed to pay a $1.7 million civil penalty and spend up to $500 million to correct self-reported environmental violations at its facilities in seven states.[45][46] Prior to the settlement, the company had disclosed to the EPA more than 680 violations after auditing 12 facilities acquired from DuPont in 2004
WTF – In 1999, a federal jury found that Koch Industries had stolen oil from government and American Indian lands, had lied about its purchases more than 24,000 times
WTF – In June 2003, the US Commerce Department fined Koch Industries subsidiary Flint Hill Resources a $200,000 civil penalty. The fine settled charges that the company exported crude petroleum from the US to Canada without proper US government authorization.
Just, Wow for this pattern of pathological lies.
Ah, Prokaryotes… WTF means "wasting the future," right?
Somewhat related: Representatives from Florida and Utah are pushing a measure to cut all climate change funding from NASA. It would apparently be redirected to a new version of the previously cancelled Ares 1 rocket — which is where the Utah rep. comes in — and to keep the KSC workforce going.

Lionel A Smith #11, have you seen George Monbiot's article on Cameron's tax scam for the banksters, with regard to repatriated profits from overseas. It's a beauty! Without doubt Cameron represents a real intensification of brutal class war, now taking a ruthlessly xenophobic path with his declaration of war against 'multiculturalism',and his Orwellian insistence that all his little Englanders think along correct lines, ie his. The neo-feudal project of destroying UK society, reducing the serfs to poverty and impotence, transferring as much money as feasible to the rich like himself and his Cabinet is meeting a good deal of resistance. So it's time for a jolly diversion, a daemon figure to divert the rabble, and who better than the evil Musselmen? The steady downward trajectory in character and morality of our Rightwing masters is gathering pace. With people like this in charge of the world, honestly, do you think we stand a hope of salvation?

Pick cereal that's less sugary than cookies or a Twinkie, health advisers suggest
Look for other health or nutrition news of interest and tell how it could affect you or your family.
Can you spot an ad, recipe or restaurant report that mentions something you haven't tasted. Does it sound good?
Now try to find holiday season coverage involving a food drive or other assistance for people in need.
There is such a thing as too sweet when it comes to breakfast cereal, nutrition experts say. Some popular brands aimed at youngsters have more sugar than three Chips Ahoy cookies or a Twinkie. A new report says more than half of the 84 brands tested have at least 12 grams of sugar per serving -- three teaspoons' worth, per serving.
Only one out of four cereals checked by the Environmental Working Group, a public interest center in Washington, D.C., met proposed federal guidelines for food nutritious enough to be marketed to children. These standards are aimed at reducing childhood obesity.
Obesity rates have more than doubled in he past three decades for U.S. children between 2 and 11 and more than tripled for those 12 to 19. Studies also suggest that sugar is habit-forming and that children who eat high-sugar breakfasts have more problems at school because they're more easily frustrated and have a hard time working independently.
Low-sugar cereals: Kellogg's Mini-Wheats (frosted or plain), General Mills Cheerios or Kix (both unflavored), Post Shredded Wheat or Grape-Nuts Flakes and Quaker Oats Oatmeal Squares (cinnamon).
Researcher says: "As a mom of two, I was stunned to discover just how much sugar comes in a box of children's cereal. Most parents would never serve dessert for breakfast, but many children's cereals have just as much sugar or more." -- Jane Houlihan, senior vice president, Environmental Working Group
Nutrition expert says: "Cereal companies have spent fortunes on convincing parents that a kid's breakfast means cereal, and that sugary cereals are fun, benign and all kids will eat. Kids should not be eating sugar for breakfast. They should be eating real food." -- Marion Nestle, author and food studies professor at New York University

I opened the Sept. 6 Optic to find what I thought was an opening volley in the race for New Mexico's governor. Instead Susie Tsyitee's letter was well-written, clear, to the point and, most importantly, it didn't attack anyone. It was a pleasure reading her letter and while I may disagree with Ms. Tsyitee's political preferences, I certainly will examine the stands of both candidates.
Milton Deemer
Las Vegas
When folks ask us if the Optic has an agenda, we readily admit that we do — pushing openness.
In August, the Las Vegas Fiesta Council saw fit to kick out the public at the beginning of its meeting. That meant that City Councilwoman Diane Moore, 2009 Fiesta queen Carmela Montoya and an Optic reporter had to leave.
The reason given: The council planned to discuss pending litigation.
Last week's column on the use of "tú" and "usted" taught me a word that I would have thought of purely as slang, something conjured up for the nonce, for lack of the precise word, like when we use "typiar" as Spanish for "to type."
We invent words. We give them the familiar Spanish verb ending and sometimes get by. To "wreckear" un carro is common, and to "watchar" one's back has become a language staple for many.
It doesn't take much for the government to violate people's constitutional rights. That's why Americans have to be ever-vigilant to prevent this from happening.
We in the media have a special responsibility to fight this cause, given that our whole industry depends on the First Amendment.
On behalf of the children at La Plaza Little League, we would like to extend a big thank you to all our sponsors and volunteers in helping us make the 2010 season a great success and a memorable one for our young athletes. See you next year!
Many of us, when we get on Interstate 25, take the south or north exits. We don't usually drive on I-25 through town.
But many others who pass through out town do, and they've been getting a bad impression because of a growing junkyard on the highway's west side.
A Fiesta subsidized by $100,000 in city services is a good thing for the city. It fills the motels and restaurants with happy visitors to our fair city and is a significant economic stimulus. This is money well spent.
The lack of professionalism in the operation of the existing entity responsible for its production is unacceptable. This group has shown its "true colors" and must be replaced.
I am a local, who couldn't find a job in San Miguel County and was forced to move away in search of work. Countless generations before me have made this same decision because politicians refuse to bring growth to San Miguel County. This is an example.

I thought you onley got banned if you wer weird.
Lets finish
Btu = 25x1 x (40- 32 )
Btu= 25 x 1 x 8
Btu= 200 Btu
Total heat required to change 25lb. Of ice to water at 40°F :
Btu= 337.5 + 3600 + 200 = 4137.5 Btu
Now this excersise...
Example : how many btu will be absorbed in changing 25lb. Of ice at 5°F to water at 40°F.
Raise the temperture of ice 5°F to 32°F
Btu=wt. Of ice x sp. Ht. Capacity of ice x temperture change....
Ice changes to water at 32° F and atmospheric pressur. Heat of absorption to produce this change is 144 Btu/lb thats per lb .
The equation for changing ice to water is
Heat= wt. Of ice x sp....
Thats really cool

Box Office Guru Wrapup: Harry Potter Edges Out Tangled
This weekend, the wizard sequel Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1 won a narrow victory and held onto the top spot at the North American box office over a busy Thanksgiving holiday frame with an estimated $50.3M in its second weekend of release. Tumbling an expected 60% from its debut, the Warner Bros. smash raised its ten-day domestic tally to an impressive $220.4M. Compared to the last installment to open on a November Friday - 2005's Goblet of Fire - Hallows opened 22% better but after ten days the lead has been cut to just 10%. Goblet even grossed more on its second weekend when it took in $54.7M over the same turkey session for a 47% decline.Back to Article

I got an iPhone about a year ago and I have to say that I love it. It's a great tool for keeping up with dates, taking a quick pic on the go, having fun while waiting, doing research online, entertaining younger kids, and much more. I've been amazed by the selection of apps and always love hearing what apps my friends use.
For a long time, I couldn't find a blog reading app. (Sometimes it's all about just using the right words when you search.) But I recently discovered Feedler RSS that syncs perfectly with Google Reader and keeps all of my favorite blogs at my fingertips.
Here are few of my other favorite apps:
- TextNow Free– This is what I use for texting using our WiFi connection since we don't get a cell signal at our house. Works great!
- PageOnce Money & Bill – This is how I keep up with when our bills are do and when they are paid. The free version is able to sync with most online accounts, but I was having trouble finding the app in the App Store earlier.
- 5-0 Radio Police Scanner Lite Free – I really love being able to listen to our local weather spotters LIVE when bad weather is happening.
- HoursTracker – Perfect for keeping up with the time worked on various projects! This one wasn't free, but I liked being able to export my times in various ways. If you really just need the tracking capability, the Lite (free) version might work VERY well for you.
What are your favorite apps? I haven't even gotten to my favorite games or apps for the kids. I guess I'll save those for another day!

|"X-Men: Legacy" #211 on sale this week
World-class telepath Charles Xavier knows how to control your mind. Too bad he doesnât know who he is. After being shot in the head in Marvel's "X-Men" #207, the concluding chapter of "Messiah CompleX," the X-Men founder has embarked upon a journey of self discovery, using his vast telepathic powers to piece together a past that was lost to him. Every month, writer Mike Carey and artist Scott Eaton chronicle Xavierâs travels in the renamed âX-Men: Legacy,â a title which kicks off the brand new story arc âSins of the Fatherâ in issue #211, in stores this week.
The previous issue, âX-Men: Legacyâ #210, wrapped up the titleâs first story arc which found the wounded Xavier in the care of the mutant terrorist group the Acolytes and ended with him besting their leader, Exodus, in psychic combat. During their mental duel, Exodus showed the amnesiac Xavier some of the former professorâs worst decisions and failures. This horrified Xavier and made him not only want to recover his past memories, but also be a better man than he was.
âLike all the other aspects of his personality, he has to learn it again, making moral decisions from scratch as he goes,â Mike Carey told CBR News. âWe will look at some of those moral choices very explicitly as the series opens up. Will he simply fall into old patterns of behavior and thought? Or will he actually succeed in becoming someone substantially different from the old Xavier? And is that something we should want?â
Xavierâs determination to rediscover his past is clear, but his ability to emotionally endure any painful truths he might encounter is still murky. âI think his resolve probably hides a great deal of inner turmoil,â Carey explained. âCharles Xavier has never been a man to wear his heart on his sleeve. I think you can read a great deal of suppressed pain into that exchange in issue #210 between him and Amelia Voght where he says, âI remember your name but if anything passed between us I have no idea what it was. I hope at least I didnât cause you any unhappiness.â I think thatâs a terribly bleak moment. Xavier is suffering and I think is still in a fragile state of mind in a lot of ways.â
|Pages from "X-Men: Legacy" #211k
Curiously, former ally and frequent archenemy Erik Lensherr, aka Magneto, stood by Xavierâs side as he recovered from his head wound. âYou might expect Magneto to take a certain amount of indecent satisfaction in seeing his old foe brought down like that,â Carey stated. âBut I wanted to play up the similarities between Magneto and Xavier instead of the differences. Theyâre old soldiers whoâve been through an awful lot together. Theyâve fought many battles, both against each other and on the same side, and have been through all the landmark moments in the history of mutantkind. I think Magneto was being sincere when he said, âI just didnât want to think people can do the things weâve done and see the things weâve seen and than die in the gutter.â
âThatâs something which comes out in the later stories in âLegacyâ as well. There is an âOld Guard.â Thereâs these characters who by virtue of having been around for so long, they have been a major shaping influence on the younger generation of mutants.â
At the end of âX-Men: Legacyâ #210, Xavier bid Magneto and Karima Shapander (aka Omega Sentinel) farewell. In two epilogues, readers saw glimpses of characters that will cross paths with Xavier in the future. In the first, we saw former X-Men member Rogue traveling into the desolate regions of Eastern Australia. âNot to put too fine a point on it, Rogueâs trip to Australia does have something to do with the fact that the X-Men have history in that part of the world,â Carey hinted. âIt also has to do with the state of mind that sheâs in after the closing events of âMessiah CompleX,â the fact that for a brief moment she was completely clean of other personalities, powers and memories, than she touched Mystique. So that Tabula Rasa moment didnât last. Rogue is in an interesting place right now and sheâs trying to make some decisions about her immediate and her longer term future.â
|Pages from "X-Men: Legacy" #211k
However, an encounter with Xavier is not in Rogueâs immediate future. âWe are definitely going to have a Rogue storyline and it will be coming up towards the end of the year,â Carey said. âWe put it off a little bit longer than I would have liked to, but other things had to be done first in order to get everything in the right place.â
The second epilogue of âX-Men Legacyâ #210 featured the Hellfire Club and specifically Sebastian Shaw, another member of the mutant âOld Guard.â âI thought the first ever Hellfire Club story arc was one of the best arcs Chris Claremont ever wrote because he kept piling the agony on the characters,â said Carey. âWhen you thought it couldnât get any worse, he kept adding new twists. I also thought Shaw was a very, very cool character. He has a fascinating power and personality because heâs so ruthless and pragmatic. Magneto is a great foil for Xavier but I think Shaw is too in a different way. Thereâs not a trace of idealism in him.â
In the epilogue, Shaw appeared to be exercising quiet displeasure over the fact that Roberto da Costa had replaced him as head of the Hellfire Clubâs inner circle. âWe hinted in âEndangered Speciesâ that Shaw is beginning to be impatient with taking a back seat and heâs thinking of doing something about it,â Carey explained. âI think Shaw is worth watching in the months to come.â
|Pages from "X-Men: Legacy" #211k
Both Shaw and the mysterious âCronusâ file he alluded to at the end of âX-Men: Legacyâ #210 will be part of the next story arc, âSins of the Father,â beginning this week in issue #211. âI know thereâs been some message board speculation about the identity of this allegedly new character but Cronus is not a Who, itâs a What,â Carey stated. âCronus was the Titan in Greek mythology who fathered Zeus. A prophecy told him that sooner or later he was going to be killed by one of his own children. So his solution was to eat his children as they were born. So itâs referring to that legend. We get to find out a lot about what is in Shawâs Cronus file.â
Indeed, the story of âSins of the Fatherâ has much to do with the positive and negative ways fathers can shape their children. âThe arc takes Professor X back to his earliest childhood,â Carey said. âWhen we leave him at the end of the first arc heâs trying to reintegrate his personality by finding memories of himself in other peopleâs minds. So he decides to go back to square one, the people who knew him at the start of his life.
âObviously some of those people are no longer around,â Carey continued. âBut some of them still are. Weâll see him talking to people who knew him as a child and that means going back to some of his fatherâs colleagues and looking up the various people who could claim to have been his father; the people who have had parental authority over him and have shaped his life.â
|Pages from "X-Men: Legacy" #211k
While heâs been mentioned in various stories over the years, Xavierâs father Brian, who died when Professor X was a boy, is still an enigma. âWe are to some extent referencing a story early on from the adjectiveless âX-Menâ title where someone sends Xavier a folder full of files relating to his fatherâs work,â Carey explained. âFabian Nicieza also wrote some stories which filled in some gaps in Xavierâs early life. Weâre not going to try and draw links between all those canonical elements and stories but we are going to reference them in a different way.â
Brian Xavier wasnât the only father in Charles Xavierâs life. Following Brianâs passing, Charlesâs mother married Kurt Marko. âObviously heâs one of Xavierâs father figures and in this story we get to see Kurt in flashback,â Carey confirmed. âWeâll see that he had a profound influence on Xavierâs life, possibly a profoundly negative one.â
âSins of the Fatherâ will also feature cameo appearances by Xavierâs siblings as well, like his stepbrother Cain Marko aka The Juggernaut and his âtwin sister,â Cassandra Nova, a psychic parasite the unborn Xavier exorcised from his motherâs womb before he was even born. âXavier has an interesting conversation with her in issue #211,â Carey teased.
Rounding out the supporting cast of âSins of the Fatherâ is former X-Men member Gambit. âHeâs coming in from a slightly odd direction,â Carey said. âFor reasons of his own, heâs meeting up with Xavier and weâll revisit certain aspects of Gambitâs back story as well.â
|"X-Men: Legacy" #212
Mr. Sinisterâs death in âMessiah CompleXâ means it will be hard for the fiendish geneticist to play an active part of âSins of the Father,â but even in death heâll have an impact on the story. âHeâs definitely dead but thereâs dead and thereâs DEAD,â Carey laughed. âWith Sinister, youâre talking about a guy who lived for a lot longer than a century and as the foremost geneticist of his time he must have thought a lot about mortality and what it meant.â
âSins of the Fatherâ will also pit Xavier against the machinations of two living villains. âThere is someone whoâs pulling strings behind the scenes: theyâre an X-Villain but they havenât been seen much in recent years and they were never much of a major figure,â Carey said. âTheyâve only been glimpsed in the background. But than behind that character is another character of greater stature and greater menace.â
The flashback sequences of âSins of the Fatherâ will feature a rotating team of artists and, much to Careyâs pleasure, the present day sequences will continue to feature work by Scott Eaton. âIsnât he doing a spectacular job?â Carey remarked. âWhile there is a lot of on-panel action in âLegacy,â it is a book that really depends on character interactions; on the emotional importance of these events. And I think Scottâs doing a great job of getting us into Xavierâs head, which is where we need to be. I think heâs planting the emotional weight exactly right.â
Future story arcs of âX-Men: Legacyâ will see Xavier encountering a variety of supporting characters and adversaries. âThe way his odyssey works is that he needs to make contact with the people who knew him and were important in his life at different points,â Carey explained. âSo it naturally lends itself to a rotating supporting cast. There are obviously people who Xavier really needs to talk to at some point. Cyclops is one and Wolverine is another and it would be really cool to get those beats in.â
|"X-Men: Legacy" #213, #214
Carey also has plans to address the relationships Xavier made during the portions of his life when he was not on Earth. âWeâre not going to have any off-planet action in âLegacy,â but at some point or another pretty much every significant event in Xavierâs past will at least be touched on,â Carey stated. âSo we will see his relationship with former Shiâar empress Lilandra and we may even see his relationships with Cadre K and the Starjammers. I donât think Iâll reference his adventures as Bald Phoenix though, at least not directly.â
Carey is finding âX-Men: Legacyâ to be a difficult but rewarding title to write. âIn some ways this is one of the most fascinating writing gigs I ever had,â he said. âItâs huge amounts of fun; there arenât many jobs where you can sit and read comics for an evening and go, âThis is work.â But it is also one of the most time consuming things Iâve ever done because thereâs so much continuity to master. So itâs challenging, but itâs a fun challenge, sort of like the worldâs biggest Sudoku puzzle.â
In âX-Men: Legacy,â Charles Xavier is a man on a mission, one that will eventually have a resolution. âCharles ultimate goal is to reclaim his past and make decisions about his future, which I hope people wonât see coming,â Carey said. âWe have kind of a finite canvas to work on. The idea is that âLegacyâ in its current form will last approximately a year and than lead into something else but Iâm not allowed to say what it is.â
Now discuss this story in CBRâs X-Men forum.

Studies - Wolf by oxboxerWatch
©2013-2016 oxboxer
Amazing design!
Would you mind me using this as a reference to the positions they are in?
All of these poses were based on photos. It would probably be a good idea for you to find some cool photos you can reference instead. Drawings are stronger if they're based on real life rather than other drawings.
es hermoso
Now that's what I call an Alpha!
Can I use for a tattoo ?
awesome work
You are my huge inspiration!!!!!!!
this is cool, I like how you drew the wolf's fur in sections and colored in three different tones. Nice work.
i love the colours!

DAAAYUM dawg these be awesome!! imma go look through your gallery for some bunnies > NEEDS MORE BUNNIES
Favorited...like a boss.

Just... Just still pining for a book of these. I don't want to comment and fav each one, but I'm still blown away by how beautifully you're interpreting the anatomy in these.
My secret hopes for your animal studies is complete for now! I've gotten the wolf, the hawk, and the deer. All of em are just amazing and your choice of colors is superb.
I love all of your animal studies! The jumping wolf pose is my favorite - the shapes in the legs and back really make it feel like he's reaching out.
God I love your work. The shapes you use just make it look simple but then detailed... I have no idea how you do it.
Jemma + wolf = front page?

What Our Graduates Are Saying:
"This course was very worthwhile. The teaching styles of both instructors make the material interesting and instructional. I would recommend more training of this type for all officers."
"An excellent block of material for such a condensed time frame."
"This course was excellent. The material on victim behavior was eye opening. The material was presented in a very understandable way and taught by individuals who have a true passion for it."
"As a Patrol Sgt. I feel that this course was outstanding. It re-enforced current knowledge, but also provided me with current information and trends. This course will definitely help me better respond to and prepare the initial report on sex cases.
"This course was a great course. I have not had training this informative in my military police, CID and NCIS career over 13 years. The information is pertinent and can extend further than sex assault investigations. The profiling piece was very informative. I learned a new prospective from this course."
"This has been the best course in my 10 years on the job. The instructors, the material, the videos, and the class participation were all valuable. The material was perfect for new and seasoned detectives/officers."
"This course helped me improve my interview skills and statement analysis skills that I can use on many crimes I deal with."

"I enjoyed the course for the full overview of information... I learned a few new approaches and felt the class interaction was good for multiple ideas and approaches to the case."

Long-time Houma businessman and civic leader L. Philip Caillouet, 91, a native of Thibodaux and resident of Houma, died Monday, Nov. 5, 2001, at 5:30 p.m. at his home following a long illness.
Family and friends said Caillouet would be remembered most for his devotion to family, friends and the community.
"He was such an upstanding and honest man," said his son, Philip Caillouet III. "He was a role model for so many people. Everything I am is because of him."
Thibodaux Mayor Charles Caillouet, also a member of the family, called the elder Philip Caillouet "the head of the family.
"He was a great family man, not only for his immediate family, but for his extended family," he said. "He was kind of the glue that kept everybody together. He was a deeply religious man of great faith and was definitely what I call a gentleman."
Caillouet served as president of the Houma-Terrebonne Chamber of Commerce from 1948 until 1950 and was the recipient of the 1951 Terrebonne Press Award, now known as The Courier's Most Useful Citizen Award.
Caillouet was also a member and past president of the Houma Rotary Club and an organizer of the Houma-Terrebonne Carnival Club. A member of the Knights of Columbus, Caillouet served as grand knight of the local Council 1317 in 1938 and 1940 and was a faithful navigator of the Fourth Degree Knights of Columbus Assembly.
Caillouet was president of Terrebonne Ice and Cold Storage in downtown Houma until it closed in 1957. During World War II, Caillouet served on the ration board, which allocated essential commodities to residents.
Caillouet also worked for Patterson Truck Lines and founded Caillouet Land Corp. in 1968 and served as its president until 1995.
Visitation will be from 9 to 11 a.m. Saturday at St. Francis de Sales Cathedral, followed by a Mass and burial in St. Francis de Sales Cemetery No. 1.
He is survived by his wife of 66 years, Marie Henry Caillouet; a daughter, Mary Claire Caillouet Randazzo and her husband Joseph A Randazzo of Metairie; one son, L. Philip Caillouet III and his wife, Jill Rogers of Broussard; five grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by his parents, U.S. District Judge Adrian Joseph Caillouet and Effie Briggs Caillouet; and three brothers, Raymond Anthony Caillouet, Bernard Joseph Caillouet and the Rev. Adrian Joseph Caillouet Jr.
In lieu of flowers, Masses are preferred or donations in his memory to St. Francis de Sales Cathedral or School.

XPPor SP3.
I recently added Lookout http://www.vinodlive.com/2008/01/23/lookout-microsoft-outlook-search-tool-still-works/ and it is great.
However, since I did this, Outlook has started crashing randomly, and when I reboot it, the view has changed so that the reading pane is no longer on the right side where I want it.
Can this be fixed?
EDIT: It only seems to crash when I change the reading pane. When I leave it the way it re-sets to, the program does not crash. I miss the way I had it - much more useful to me.
