The best Doctor we have ever had. That says it all!
He did not listen to my health issues. He sent me for xrays for an area that I was not having problems with. I requested 3 times for him to call me with his staff, Amy, and he doesn't return my calls. Worse experience I have ever had with a doctor!! He throws out diagnosis without any testing and then gives you medication for conditions that have not been properly diagnosed. Beware!!!!
Special attention perceived. Everything desired in a doctor.
best doctor in the area I am glad I found Dr Victor.
Dr. Nguyen had been my internist for3years. He is the best primary doctor I've ever had. He is so knowledgeable and caring. I never feel rushed when I see him. He takes the time to explain and answers questions. I only hope he never moves away!!
First visit was a wonderful experience in all respects. A problem I had was getting better so follow up was discussed. The problem got worse in four days and was handled perfectly by nurse practioner LeeAnn Green since dr. Nguyen was not available. I am more than satisfied!
Dr. Nguyen is one of those rare doctors that really takes the time to understand your needs. He is thorough and compassionate.
Dr. Nguyen has the best bed side manners I've experienced. He is recommended by many in the community and I am lucky to have him as my doctor.
Dr. Nguyen is thorough and seems to genuinely care about his patients. The clinic has many drs. and if Dr. Nguyen can't see me, they will fit me in with someone else if it's urgent.
If you want a doctor who is caring as well as professional and intelligent, Dr. Victor Nguyen is your man. There are no words to adequately describe what a wonderful human being he truly is.
Great to find a doctor who speaks perfect english and speaks loudly and clearly to the patient!!

We mocked up this pair of "SuperSonics" throwback Nike Zoom KD IIIs when they first went up on Nike ID, and they were so nice we had to click "order." So here's a whole mess of photos of the real deal. Done up in mainly nubuck with a black patent hit on the medial sides, a yellow-to-green fade on the Flywire, "DURANT" and "35" embroidery, and a solid yellow outsole, they're a pair we hope KD himself would have been proud to wear. Too bad they're not his size. Order your own here.

My client's web hosting company only allows an OLD version of WordPress. So old that I'm not sure which one it is. The template we installed looked great, but suddenly yesterday it looks all funky. There is an odd space between the header and the body of the template, and on the main page, the image has a white line through it. The footer has also disappeared. The URL is http://www.modernmarketingsupport.com/blog
Help is much appreciated. You guys and gals are awesome!

I was wondering if there is any way in 2.1 to set a number of posts on the homepage (say 5, using Reading>options>show at most) but display a different number (eg 20) on the archived/category pages?
This article seemed to show promise [http://justinblanton.com/2005/02/limit-number-of-posts-with-wordpress ], but the instruction about where to place the curly parenthesis " } " was completely lost on me.
Has anyone got a more straightforward solution.
Any help greatly appreciated.

With the demonstration by Noguchi1 of Spirochaeta pallida in the central nervous system tissues, and with the successful use of salvarsan, paresis and locomotor ataxia have become less matters of purely neurological concern and more problems of infection, immunity and chemotherapy. Under this aspect the syphilitic disturbances of the central nervous system function have taken on a new interest alike for the student of immunity, the clinician and the psychologist. For it is now clear that the symptoms of central nervous system syphilis, be they pain, ataxia, or psychic disturbance, depend, as is the case in acute poliomyelitis, on the location of the damaging lesions.
The therapeutic problem, therefore, is fundamentally of a similar nature to that found in any infection in which the specific agent is sent to destroy the infecting organism. The agent and organism must be brought into contact. The well-known impermeability of the choroid

Arrest made in home invasionMay 18,2013CABOT Vermont State Police have made an arrest in a June 2012 armed home invasion in Cabot.
Police said they arrested 32-year-old Nicholas Johnson of St. Johnsbury, formerly of Cabot, on charges of burglary, reckless endangerment, larceny and unlawful restraint.
Police said during the home invasion, a man armed with a rifle forced his way into a residence and demanded money from the 67-year-old homeowner before tying him up.
Police say the incident occurred when the homeowner on Route 215 was awakened by the suspect, who reported he was having car trouble.
The homeowner gave the suspect an undetermined amount of money before he was tied up.MORE IN This Just InLOS ANGELES As throngs of Pokemon Go players traipse around to real-world landmarks in...

I have a MacBook Pro, and when on my desk it is connected to a thunderbolt display. And I have an external hard drive connected to my thunderbolt display. This hard drive has 2 partitions and contains my iTunes library, as well as other things I rarely need when away from my desk.
When I remove my laptop from my desk, I need to perform a few steps or else I can potentially corrupt files on the external drive during the forceful disconnect. This has happened a few times, and I have had to restore backups of my iTunes library or other files. This is becoming a huge pain everytime I wish to remove my computer from my desk.
- Quit iTunes (if open) since the iTunes library file is on the external disk.
- Open a finder window.
- Click the "Eject" button on one of the 2 partitions
- Click the "Eject All" button in the dialog that appears asking if I want to eject all partitions on that physical disk or just one.
I'm not familiar with scripting or automation tools on OSX. But is it possible to create some sort of automation script that I could activate with a single click in the dock? Or perhaps via spotlight? And what would such a script look like?

Gas prices
Let big oil pay for our roads
Regarding the article, "Senators propose 12-cent gas tax increase": How in the world can Congress even consider raising the federal gas tax rate by over 60 percent to 30.4 percent when big oil receives over $7 billion in subsidies? Gas was $1.84 per gallon the month President Obama took office. As of Wednesday, the national average was $3.67. The rich get richer and the poor take another hit as 1st Timothy 6:10 reminds us. "The love of money is the root of all evil."

Released: Apr 02nd, 2008
Running Time: 101 Min.
Director: Sinclair
Company: Vivid Entertainment Group
Cast: Franchezca Valentina, Barry Scott, Cassie Young, Manuel Ferrara, Nick Manning, Victoria (I), Stefani Morgan, John Strong, Carmella Bing, Mr. Pete
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
For hot rock fans, this vid may be a dream come true. In the opener, a dark-haired Stefani Morgan goes down on John Strong on the stage of a strip club, as a buff guitarist "serenades" her off to the side. The lovers quickly move to a futon leaning against the dance pole, and after some pussy-licking, John takes Stefani spoon style, rolls her into reverse cowgirl, then doggie, his cock never leaving her pussy. Cowgirl follows, during which John stands up in mid-hump, before the facial finish.
Carmella Bing seduces Mr. Pete on a street corner to a hip-hop beat before finishing him off in her bedroom with cowgirl, spoon and mish before he j.o.s on her pussy.
Three more scenes follow, including a long threeway with Victoria, Franchezca Valentina and Manuel Ferrara (who gets his fingers — though sadly, not his cock — in both girls' asses), and another with Carmella, Cassie Young and Nick Manning that has plenty of girl/girl action.
Retailing: Hot babes and hot music — an unbeatable combo!

Start Next Semester In Style With A Dormify & Madewell Shopping Spree
The last days of summer are fast approaching, which means only one thing if you're an undergrad: It's time to go back-to-school shopping. Local brand Dormify wants to celebrate the school year (and get you swagged out properly), so it's partnering with Madewell and USA Today College to host a shindig tonight. The theme? It's all about socializing, Greek life, internships, style, and sweet dorm decor — everything you need to start off the school year right (apart from books, of course).
To sweeten the deal, you can groove to the DJ's tunes and score goodie bags, Sweetpress juice, and savings of 20% on Dormify and Madewell purchases of $125 or more. We guarantee you'll leave with a bunch of awesome new gear — the only thing we can't promise is that it will all fit in your tiny dorm room.
When: Thursday, July 26, from 5 to 8 p.m.
Where: Madewell Georgetown, 1237 Wisconsin Avenue NW; 202-333-3599.

10 Things We Forgot to Monitor. Great list from Bitly.
Tag: advice
On Being A Senior Engineer
On Being A Senior Engineer. Chock full with pearls of wisdom.
How I failed: Six lessons learned
How I failed: Six lessons learned. Wonderful set of insights from Tim O'Reilly. Number four is a very hard problem to solve.
Effective Technical Leadership
Effective Technical Leadership. Rich with usable attributes and actions.
Couple of things I learned the hard way yesterday:
- When using a password to connect to an IRC server, you'll need to join the room before you can post a message to it.
- IRC servers (or maybe it's just ours) are quite slow to fully respond to connection requests. Like, two minutes slow.
Advantages of code review
Advantages of pre-deploy code review, over post-deploy audit:
- Authors have a strong incentive to craft small, well-formed changes that will be readily understood, to explain them adequately, and to provide appropriate test plans, test coverage and context.
- Reviewers have a real opportunity to make significant suggestions about architecture or approach in review. These suggestions are less attractive to adopt from audit, and may be much more difficult to adopt if significant time has passed between push and audit.
- Authors have a strong incentive to fix problems and respond to feedback received during review, because it blocks them. Authors have a much weaker incentive to address problems raised during audit.
- Authors can ask reviewers to apply and verify fixes before they are pushed.
- Authors can easily pursue feedback early, and get course corrections on approach or direction.
- Reviewers are better prepared to support a given change once it is in production, having already had a chance to become familiar with and reason through the code.
- Reviewers are able to catch problems which automated tests may have difficulty detecting. For example, human reviewers are able to reason about performance problems that tests can easily miss because they run on small datasets and stub out service calls.
- Communicating about changes before they happen generally leads to better preparation for their effects.
Matt Haughey's lessons from a 40 year old
I like to think of funded startups vs. bootstrapped web sites like the split between signed and unsigned bands.
Think about what a band has to do if they sign with a major label. They write music, perform/record it, and play it. Now think about people like Prince, Aimee Mann, etc. that do every single aspect of their music themselves. They have to create and record and distribute music, but also book tours and hotels and hire roadies and even oversee building websites. On the positive side, those going their own way talk about making more money from lower record sales than they did on a label, even though they do a significant amount of work.
So it's a lot of work, but I would argue it's totally appropriate for anything that isn't a huge world-changing idea. And there are a lot of benefits that come from it.
Matt Haughey — My Webstock Talk: Lessons from a 40 year old (now with transcript).
Writing beginner level tutorials
Writing beginner level tutorials. A number of useful tips. My favorite: "use words and phrases that your reader can Google to find more information." For producers of documentation, I think the biggest challenge is putting yourself in the mindset of the reader. The second biggest challenge is closing the feedback loop between the person who has the knowledge and the person who wants the knowledge.
Om Malik on ten years of blogging
Today we differentiate between blogging on blogging platforms and sharing on social platforms, but that is just semantics. The essence of blogging is not defined by a platform but by what I learned from Dave and his blogging platform — that media now is raw, collaborative and instantaneous.
Blogging is communal: In 2008, I wrote that "blogging is not just an act of publishing but also a communal activity. It is more than leaving comments; it is about creating connections." That is the single biggest lesson learned of these past 10 years. Every connection has lead to a new idea, new thought and a new opportunity.
Being authentic in your thoughts and voice is the only way to survive the test of time.
Being wrong is as important as being right. What's more important — when wrong, admit that you are wrong and listen to those who are/were right.

I am using a slightly modified version [Multi-Lingual Enabled] of the default Twenty Ten Theme [v1.2] for a client based in Canada. I need to develop the website in two languages English and French[Quebec]. I am using the xili-language plugin to do the translation.
There are two things I need help with
1. where can I find a po/mo file fr_CA.po? and
2. how to translate the sidebar widget contents as I don't see any option/location anywhere to put the contents in different languages like I can for pages and Posts.
I will really appreciate if someone can help me overcome this problem.

Jack Kerouac may be dead, but the Beat movement lives on at Grey San Francisco. Recently, Grey SF picked up a new client‹The Beat Museum, home to never-seen-before artifacts, original photos and first-edition books from America¹s first counterculture. Founded by Jerry Cimino in Monterey, California, the Beat Museum recently relocated to San Francisco's North Beach area — the same neighborhood the beatniks frequented during the 1950s.
Grey SF's awareness effort kicked off with a series of posters, ads, and bus shelters throughout San Francisco. A Website and other marketing materials are currently in the works.
The advertising campaign takes on the free-spirited attitude of the generation and aims to educate the masses on the continuing importance of the Beat Movement.

Nate Allen is a columnist for the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. A graduate of the University of Missouri, Allen is a voter for the Heisman Trophy. He has authored three books about the Razorbacks.
Several candidates worthy of award
FAYETTEVILLE Fortunately the University of Arkansas might conduct its Crip Hall Award voting like those banana republics belatedly compelled having Jimmy Carter review their dubious elections.
It is fortunate because justice was served if indeed there was any surreptitious altering the voting facts after the fact.
The Crip Hall Award, named for a deceased UA grad and Secretary of State, annually is voted to the Razorbacks' most outstanding senior in their homecoming game which Arkansas won, 19-15 over Tulsa on Saturday at Reynolds Razorback Stadium.
The award's winner, receiver Cobi Hamilton, deserved it by acclimation though perhaps not when media ballots were prematurely ordered picked up with a full quarter to play.
At third quarter's end, Arkansas trailed, 19-15 and Hamilton had caught 6 passes for 78 yards including 19 and 18-yarders on Arkansas' game-opening touchdown drive.
Hamilton, now Arkansas' all time single season receiving leader with 69 catches with three games to play, won the game and award catching 5 passes for 99 yards in the fourth quarter. On the game winning drive Hamilton made a spectacular catch of Wilson's well defended 41-yard pass and took a tunnel screen 14 yards to the Tulsa one.
Previously, Hamilton was having a nice day, but no nicer than senior running back Dennis Johnson (14 carries for 84 yards and a touchdown at three quarters) or senior quarterback Tyler Wilson, even while taking a beating and throwing an interception, completing 15 of 22 passes for 153 yards by the third quarter's end.
Senior punter Dylan Breeding also had wedged his foot into the Crip Hall door.
Breeding boomed a 58.3 average for his three punts in the second and third quarters. Included was a 69-yarder downed at the Tulsa three.
"He flipped the field and that was huge," Wilson said.
Johnson, who was coming off a career high 161 yards on 27 carries in the 30-27 SEC loss to Ole Miss the previous Saturday in Little Rock, carried Saturday's fight through the fourth quarter. He finished with 22 carries for 109 yards including the 1-yard game-winning touchdown.
Arkansas Coach John L. Smith caught grief for running Johnson on a failed fourth and one at the Tulsa 16 instead of kicking a field goal with 1:07 left in the game.
Well, Johnson earlier miraculously made 12 yards from a draw on third and 11 and had just made eight on third and nine.
"I thought, 'Let's win it right here," Smith said. "Put the ball in his hands and see if he can't get it done again."
The Razorbacks defense, "ripped" and called "soft" during halftime, Smith said, by himself and the defensive staff, bailed Arkansas out of that fourth and one aftermath like it "responded" the entire second half, Smith said.
It took all those contributors to win the game but only one can win the award.
"Cobi - what do you say about Cobi?" Smith marveled. "He made a couple of plays the second half that were just - uh - great receivers will do that."

We tried breakfast at Winona's this morning, after a 5am wake up for balloon fest. This place was packed, about 25 min wait, but well worth it. Even with the long line, and the busy small restaurant, the servers had smiles and were on top of it all. I had the Monte Cristo with homestyle potatoes, big chunks, delicious. My other half had the western omelet (no shrooms) with potatoes as well, huge and simply delicious. The service was great, food was brought out quickly despite that every table inside and out was full! We loved it, but we thought $30 for breakfast was too much. Not sure we'll go back for breakfast, but maybe lunch?? Lots of sandwiches and hoagies, fresh, made to order and a better value than breakfast. Great tasting food!

Mountain walks in Cape Town: Interesting discoveries
One of the lesser-known facts about Cape Town is that it offers visitors, with a penchant for the past, an incredible opportunity to carry out a bit of amateur exploration into our history.
The rugged mountain range that cradles the Mother City stretches into the Cape Peninsula and, in addition to offering a peaceful sanctuary from city life amongst its flora and fauna, it also holds the lure of fossils and rock art left behind by the region's early inhabitants.
While the thought of heading off into the mountains to seek out these treasures might sound a little Indiana Jones-ish, the truth is some of the earliest evidence of modern humans has been found in the vicinity of Cape Town.
For instance, a set of fossilised footprints made by a woman near the lagoon at Langebaan, just north of the city, dates back 117 000 years. Called 'the footsteps of Eve', they are now on display at the South African Museum in Cape Town, the oldest museum in Sub-Saharan Africa.
More realistically, though, visitors who take hiking tours in the Cape's mountains are more likely to come across rock art left behind by the Khoi-San people, the most recent indigenous population group and the original mountain hikers.
The Western Cape is said to have over 80 rock art sites within a few hours drive of the city, but there are also a few a little closer. The rock art found in Echo Cave at Fish Hoek on the Cape Peninsula, for instance, has been dated 28 000 years old.
There are also numerous hiking companies that would be delighted to take you on guided tours along mountain trails to show you what they have to offer.
My own hiking expeditions have yielded more sore feet than archaeological finds, but it's nice to add a sense of adventure to the whole undertaking, especially if it motivates you to appreciate the Cape's natural environment.
But for those who want to take a more relaxed approach to archaeology, our city is also littered with fantastic museums that showcase what scientists have already unearthed locally about our ancestors.
The Iziko South African Museum also has some of the finest examples of rock art in the world, including the world famous Linton Panel.
The Urban Green Park in Green Point has also undertaken a project to erect and display original Khoi-San shelters, and these can be visited daily if you want to see how the Cape's indigenous people housed themselves.

What are its smallest and biggest values in python?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
See this post.
Relevant parts of the post:
In [2]: import kinds In [3]: kinds.default_float_kind.M kinds.default_float_kind.MAX kinds.default_float_kind.MIN kinds.default_float_kind.MAX_10_EXP kinds.default_float_kind.MIN_10_EXP kinds.default_float_kind.MAX_EXP kinds.default_float_kind.MIN_EXP In [3]: kinds.default_float_kind.MIN Out[3]: 2.2250738585072014e-308
The smallest is
Update: you can usually get denormalized minimum as
As a kind of theoretical complement to the previous answers, I would like to mention that the "magic" value ±308 comes directly from the binary representation of floats. Double precision floats are of the form ±c*2*q with a "small" fractional value c (~1), and q an integer written with 11 binary digits (1 bit for its sign). The fact that 2*(2*10-1) has 308 (decimal) digits explains the appearance of 10*±308 in the extreme float values.
Calculation in Python:
Python uses double-precision floats, which can hold values from about 10 to the -308 to 10 to the 308 power.
Try this experiment from the Python prompt:
10 to the 309 power is an overflow, but 10 to the 38 is not. QED.
Actually, you can probably get numbers smaller than 1e-308 via denormals, but there is a significant performance hit to this. I found that Python is able to handle
Just playing around; here is an algorithmic method to find the minimum and maximum positive float, hopefully in any python implementation where
In my case,
so denormals are used.

5 km from Cascais is a beach popular for windsurfers/surfers. Windsurf gear: wave boards and sails from 3.5 to 5.3 range. Apr. - Sept is best time for wind. Equipment rental/shop on beach. There are also caverns such as the famous Boca do Inferno which is well worth a visit.

Currently (Mar 2011) in the second tier of Portugese football, Belenenses play their home games in Belem, just a short tram or bus ride from the city centre.
Lovely stadium high above the river, sadly only around 1000 spectators for the game we saw against Santa Clara (all the way from the Azores).
The result, for the record, a disappointing 0-0 draw but enjoyed our short visit here anyway.

Estoril Open
Want to see the major stars of the tennis world while in Lisbon. In here you can do. Estoril Open in Jamor, really close to the city of Lisbon, is the main tennis event in Portugal. Generally it happens in May and is a WTA and ATP clay court tournament. This tournament has attracted big names of this sport such as Muster, Moyà, Ferrero, Federer, Safin, Kuerten and others. The female side is much weaker in terms of stars it attracts.
This tournament is also a society highlight. Many of the Portuguese high society go to the court to see and be seen.
There is possibility than in future years the tournament will change place to a nearby location.

The best climate for golf in Europe
Golf is very good in Portugal. There is a lot of variety, many golf courses are on the coast line, which makes them just beautifull, with astonishing views over the ocean.
The best thing in Portugal is the climate. Winter is the best time of the year to play golf there: no wind, mild climate with temperature around 15-18ºC, the courses are in good shape and hotels are quite cheap at this time of the year.
It is just the place to relax and have some good rounds!Related to:

You have to go to a Benfica match
We were on a Benfica match against Academica in the Luz stadium. It was fantastic, 43 000 fanatics. The eagle before the match is a great performance. The eagle flies down from the highest stand to the field. And Rui Costa is sensational.Related to:

One of the best ways to explore the natural beauty of Lisbon's surrounding countryside is on horseback. The magnificent landscape of the Costa do Estoril, particularly the Cascais-Sintra Natural Park, are best appreciated on horseback, providing a truly memorable day out for visitor riders. One of the best places to hire a horse and go riding for a few hours is at the Quinta da Marinha Riding School in Cascais.Add to your Trip Planner
Exploring the beaches of Lisbon
Surfing, bodyboarding, sailing, windsurfing and all sorts of water sports can be found in beaches like Guincho (that has some of the best conditions for surf and windsurf), Cascais and Costa da Caparica. This last one boasts a 15 kilometre stretch of golden, sandy shoreline.
Also not to be missed are the surrounding areas of Setúbal and Sesimbra. Besides having good conditions for water sports, both these regions offer spectacular scenery and are definitely worth a visit.Add to your Trip Planner
Sporting Lisbon
There are two major soccer teams in Lisbon: Benfica & Sporting Lisbon. The Sporting Stadium is right next to my Grandparents home, and as a young kid my gradfather took me in to see the stadium several times.Add to your Trip Planner
Football in Lisbon
Football is the main sport in Portugal. Lisbon has 2 of the 3 biggest teams. They are Benfica and Sporting, the other one is Porto, the winner of last year's Champions League. Those 3 teams always fight for the 1st place on the league table and you can never know which one is going to win.
Watching a game in Lisbon between Benfica and Sporting can be quite interesting, but also an adventure. Be careful.Add to your Trip Planner
Football (soccer)
Lisboetas (inhabitants of Lisbon) are crazy about football and support either of the two major clubs, Sport Lisboa e Benfica (website: www.slbenfica.pt), and Sporting Clube de Portugal. Both are strong first-division contenders. Benfica play at the great Estádio da Luz (Stadium of Light called as the Cathedral by the supporters of Benfica ), where it will be the final of the Euro 2004 and others games of the Euro2004. Sporting play at the Estádio Alvalade XXI, just north of the Campo Grande (website: www.scp.pt). There are others clubs in Lisbon like Belenenses and Alverca but not so important.Add to your Trip Planner
Tourada (Bullfight)
Bullfight is a very controvertial subject. I personally enjoy to see it.
Bullfighting was once the sport of Portuguese noblemen. Unlike in neighboring Spain, the bull is not killed--a prohibition the marqu?s de Pombal instituted in the 18th century, after the son of the duke of Arcos was killed in the sport. Bullfights here differ in other respects from the Spanish version. Much ceremony and pageantry attend the drama: The major actors are elegantly costumed cavaleiros, who charge the bull on horseback, and ma?os de for?ado, who grapple with the bull. Many find this face-to-face combat the most exciting component of the bullfight.
There are many aficionados in Portugal and Lisbon presents them a great venue to see a good Tourada - the Praca de Touros do Campo Pequeno. It was inaugurated in 1892 with a neo-Arabic style. It fits about 8.438 spectators.
The bullfighting season in Lisbon runs from Easter until mid-July.Add to your Trip Planner
If you like football (aka soccer) Lisbon will satisfy all you cravings!
Lisbon has three teams in Super Liga (I division) - Sporting, Benfica and Belenenses.
The championship follows the normal European schedule, i.e., from end of August until mid May.
Portugal hosts the Euro 2004 championships, and for that occasion it was build 8 new stadiums. Sporting and Benfica's stadium are state of the art stadiums.Add to your Trip Planner
Good bye Stadium 1
this stadium will be gone a few months from now. They are building a new one as you can see just beside. the old one was for 70 thousand people. but for the EURO2004 they had to build a new one. hurry up to visit this last times of the old stadium.Add to your Trip Planner
Jogging, tennis and golf, etc
Jogging, tennis, swimming, football .... you can do those sports in Estádio Nacional. Estádio Nacional is located in Algés - Cruz Quebrada. Near of the city center.

Easiest way is to get a lawyer to set up a trust in order to have it own the can, unless you are friends with the local Sheriff & he will sign off for you.
Can must be purchased & remain in store, money & paperwork sent in to BATF & then you wait for the stamp to come back, then you can pick up
the can.
This is a very short & to the point answer.

Is NYT's Revkin pushing unjustified 'balance' in the Senate climate debate coverage?
I like and respect Andy Revkin a great deal. He is one of the best reporters on climate and certainly the most prolific climate journalist now that he has his Dot Earth Blog. But I must take exception to his recent posting, "Climate Debate: Democracy In Action?"
You would never know from his post that one side in the debate was desperately trying to save future generations from catastrophic warming and the other side was simply doing shameless political posturing. Here is how it opens:
David M. Herszenhorn has a piece today examining this week's Senate action (or inaction, more accurately) as the debate over the Warner-Lieberman-Boxer bill aimed at curbing emissions of greenhouse gases stalled amid partisan parrying using age-old rules of order.
As I read the article, I was reminded of a conversation I had with Senator John McCain about climate and American politics in 2005, while we were taping an interview for the Discovery-Times documentary "Arctic Rush." Mr. McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee for president, said flatly that democracies don't do well with this kind of long-term, looming threat.
David's story may hold some evidence that this is true.
You MUST be kidding, Andy. McCain's comment is utterly absurd. It is McCain's own Republican colleagues who don't "do well with this kind of long-term, looming threat."
Boxer-Lieberman-Warner are trying to deal with this threat. The majority of Republican Senators don't acknowledge the serious nature the threat — and many continue to reject the scientific understanding that there is any threat at all.
Does Andy feel that so-called journalistic balance does not allow him to bluntly state the real lede, which is that conservatives have chosen to score political points at the expense of taking any action against the gravest threat to the security of Americans?
Let me go further. McCain's comment is laughable. Where is the evidence that non-democracies "do well with this kind of long-term, looming threat"? I have one word for McCain and Revkin — China (see "The immorality of China's coal policy is breathtaking (literally) — Part I."
Inaction on climate has NOTHING to do with some flaw inherent in democracies — indeed, the governments of all the other major industrialized democracies in the world have taken action
This has everything to do with the fact that a large segment of the political power structure in this country (and elsewhere) benefits from the status quo in energy because the incumbent, polluting industries are making tens of billions of dollars a year that they can and do use to maintain their power.
Ironically, democracies should be better than non-democracies at this because they/we (theoretically) have an uncensored media that can tell the public the truth about the threat. But that would seem to be mostly a theoretical advantage in this country, as long as the media in this country is self-censored and leaves the public the impression that inaction on climate is just "politics as usual" partisan parrying in Washington, with both sides equally to blame. Then the public says, a pox on both your houses, and becomes as disempowered as the public in a non-democracy.
15 Responses to Is NYT's Revkin pushing unjustified 'balance' in the Senate climate debate coverage?
If congressional (in)action on climate is all about Republican obstructionism, why was it that the Clinton effort to establish an energy tax, which had support from coal and oil, was killed by Democrats in Congress, not the Gingrich revolution a year or two later? Listen to the video interview I did with former President Clinton on this issue to get a briefing on events in the early 1990s.
A lot of experts I talk to say that if the voters rise up and press their elected representatives to act meaningfully, they'll probably do something, at least if history is a guide. But that leads back to the tough questions about climate — related to the worst impacts being somewhere else, or some*when" else.
That's what makes this issue more like Social Security insolvency than the environmental problems we grew up with way back in the 20th century. (You could tackle them on your own watch and get credit when the air or rivers got cleaner.)
How's Congress doing on Social Security?
Joe, I normally like what you write, but you're off on this one. Andy is right that the long term problem of climate change will not be handled well by democracy that runs on two and four year election cycles.
Whereas in China, they have a command and control type of government that can turn the ship quickly.
Andy is dead on in his analysis, although I do agree with you that he gives too much play on occasion to the he said/she said type of journalism. Notice that he recently ran a blog post on Lomborg. And he is still not immune to quoting Pielke Jr.'s nonsense. Nuff said.
Actually, Joe, you're right. I like a lot of what Andy writes, too, but sometimes I get the feeling that if he were writing a blog about the shape of the planet, he'd give equal time to the flat earth society.
The problem is that, these days, journalists don't consider a one-sided argument to be interesting enough, so they seek out the minority view, no matter how minority and how crazy.
Personally, I would have the narrative "will we save the planet or won't we?" would be enough to keep the readers coming back.
All the best,
Colin Beavan aka No Impact Man
I don't know exactl what is in the Boxer-Lieberman-Warner bill but something tells me it won't make the slightest difference to global emissions and CO2 concentrations even if passed in full.
Andy's job was to get the conversation going, not to pass judgement (he'd likely get fired if he did that too often). Now, I know you have no reservations about passing judgement, but Andy likely does.
Nonetheless, the points you want to make and highlight are there in the comments, deep down in the fever swamps.
Until now, the denialist fringe hasn't spammed the comments yet, so some good, useful 'discussion points' are coming out.
Anyway, I'm becoming less concerned about your knee-jerk popping off, as it seems most expect that from you, so the effect gets lessened over time. Your message does too, but I guess that's the calculus you made for yourself.
OK, now I've read it I am definitely convinced it won't make the slightest bit of difference.
Too weak. Too unambitious. Too many sources of CO2 emissions not affected. Not global. Too complicated and difficult to monitor. Any document with the word "offsets" should be binned immediately.
The only way to control and reduce global CO2 emissions is to control and reduce the amount of coal. oil and gas we extract. Anything else is just messing around.
I'm not a McCain supporter (not even American!), but I think McCain's point is that:
– voters look at many issues; a specific one (eg. environment) won't be everyone's top priority (in this case, many believe the "delayers" that's it's not even an issue)
– anyway, all the candidates will say they're pro-environment and this is a very complex issue. Individual, non-expert voters will have a hard time evaluating each candidate's platform.
– many won't choose the short-term pain
What's infuriating about it to me is that Andy's article is just another damn "horse race" article parading as serious coverage. We need more "horse race" like a hole in the ozone. It's awful reporting too.
I think that if he doesn't have anything beyond "horse race" to report and not much energy to report out even that – I suggest the public would be better served if he didn't print anything.
Andy, you say "But that leads back to the tough questions about climate — related to the worst impacts being somewhere else, or some*when" else."
Yes it does – so why don't you report that out and enlighten the public? (why aren't a team of reporters working on it continually????)
Is it not news that if we fail to act our children and grandchildren are f*cked? (and generations beyond) Seems to me to be a bigger story than WWII was….but what the hell do I know.
It's damn depressing….
Dano — Andy has a blog, so presumably he can offer his opinions. Otherwise, I'm not exactly certain what the blog is for?
Sigh…under the NYT domain.
Shall I resort to monosyllaby? His opinion is constrained.
Nonetheless, the important thing is the comment board, where the denialist fringe hasn't taken over and spammed yet. This is important. That, I think, is one of the reasons for the blog – the discussion. Once the denialists grow tired, then the value will show.

Although I still read Dot Earth, I stopped reading the comments (most of the time) a long time ago precisely because, for my taste, there are so many denier cretins running rampant. I remember that one denizen was said to get paid $25 per obfuscationist post. If so, he must be rolling in it by now, since that guy would have like ten posts a day. If that's not spam, I don't know what is.
I personally don't understand why vandalistic comments are tolerated on serious environmental blogs, any more than Holocaust deniers would be allowed to crash the boards at survivor blogs. It's the same thuggery.

Aaaaa-men, bruddah.
I suspect, though, that gnashing of teeth, wailing, and rending of garments would ensue over the "quashing of free speech" or "censorship!!! waaaah!!" or some such, with mobilization to put the Rachel Ray scarf thing to shame.
I have worked in the solar energy business for many years. I have designed and built energy efficient houses, and zero energy houses.
I am vehemently opposed to the Cap and Trade tax bill. Give the Lieberman Warner bill any flowery title you want, bottom line it is a tax bill.
What bothers me about this bill is this. There are many very concrete steps that can be taken to reduce energy consumption. The technology to do this is well understood, proven, and is "off the shelf". What the government should do, if they are serious about reducing carbon emissions, is reduce energy consumption. I will give a few examples of things that can be done today.
1) Solar hot water heaters on every building that uses hot water (ncluding homes). There are two ways to use energy from the sun. One is direct gain, that is the most efficient. And, is the way that a solar hot water heater works. Adding a solar hot water heater to every building in the country would cost roughly 50 billion $. And would reduce energy consumption by 12%. And would create tens of thousands of jobs. The reduction in carbon emissions from doing this can be precisely measured.
The government would need to supply each building owner grant money and access to knowledgeable people both inside and outside the government to get this done. This could be done in one year.
2) Replacing oil fired heating systems with geo thermal heat pumps. One of the ways to use energy from the sun is to store it in a thermal mass and get the heat back out of the mass when it is needed. The earth is a very good storage system. Go down about 9 feet and it is 72 degrees year round. This would cost about 10 billion $ and would reduce oil consumption by 14%. The reduction in carbon emissions can be very precisely measured.
3) Make all buildings as energy efficient as possible. Most of the things that one does to an existing building to make it energy efficient are small steps that do not cost a lot. Weather stripping, insulated thresholds, storm windows, caulking, well there is a long list of very practical things that can be done. The government should fund an energy audit for every building in the country and then give a grant to make the building as energy efficient as possible. This would cost roughtly 500 billion $. And would cut energy consumption by 40%. Again, the technologies used in this are well known, well understood, proven and "off the shelf".
4) Wind farms. Wind power can only ever be a supplement to electricity generated from coal, oil, natural gas or other means. Wind power is intermittent and an electrical generating plant has to produce a base level of power 24/7. One way to mitigate the intermittent nature of wind power is to build a grid of wind farms across a very large area so that the wind is blowing somewhere most of the time. Then connect this grid using super conductive power lines so that there is no loss of energy from transmission. Only the government can raise the kind of money it would take to do this. How much this would save is not well understood. I am guessing 20 %.
5) Solar thermal power generation. There are two ways to turn the sun's rays into electricity. One is photovoltaic or PV, which is a conversion of sunlight into electricity. The other is through direct gain. Using the heat to drive a power source. Direct gain is several orders of magnitude more efficient. Solar thermal power generation is a well known, well understood, proven technology and is "off the shelf". It only makes economic sense in the southwest, southern California, and the southernmost parts of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida. Like wind, solar is a supplement to the electrical gnerating plant because solar power is intermittent. Only the federal government can fund projects of this size. I'm guessing that building a number of solar thermal power generating plants would cut power usage from fossil fuel power plants by 15%.
6) Sugar cane ethanol. Corn based ethanol is an economic and environmental disaster of enormous magnitude. Sugar cane based ethanol, however, does not harm the environment, does not divert food to fuel, and is very economical. Current government policy, however, makes sugar cane based ethanol pretty much illegal. Sugar cane can be grown economically in Texas, Louisiana, Florida, Puerto Rico, US VIrgin Islands, Hawaii, and the southern most parts of Mississippi and Alabama. As well as pretty much anywhere in the Caribbean, Central America and South America. Imported oil could be replaced completely by sugar cane based ethanol. This would shift 700 BILLION $ from going to OPEC countries to going to economically deprived areas of North and South America.
7) Solar lighting. Solar lighting is a well understood, well known, proven technology that is "off the shelf". The federal government could mandate that all buildings use solar lighting. And provide grant money to install it. This would cost roughly $80 billion. Human beings are much happier when using natural sunlight. When the sun goes down the fiber optic solar lighting tubes are flooded with light from special light bulbs which mimic natural sunlight. These bulbs are extremely energy efficient, don't burn out, last a very long time, and you only need one located at the input point for the solar lighting system. The light then travels down the fiber optic tubes to the light diffusers. Solar lighting does not create heat inside the building so air conditioning costs are lessened. This would cut energy usage roughly 7%.
8) Turbo diesel engine. The turbo diesel engine has been in use in Europe for many years. This engine gets over 50 miles per gallon. It is illegal in the united states. In Europe, 2/3 of cars sold have this engine. If this engine was allowed to be sold in the united states, the CAFE standard could be immediately raised to over 40 miles per gallon and car companies could easily meet it.
9) Lubrication oil for engines. The best source of a lubricant oiil for engines is the lowly jojoba bean, which grows best in semi arid deserts. Hmm, the United States just happens to have millions of square acres of just such land, which is pretty much not used for anything else. Establishing an organic lubrication oil industry would cut oil imports by 4%.
This is a well understood, well known, proven technology and is "off the shelf".
