How Erie's representatives in Congress voted last week
WASHINGTON -- Area members of Congress voted on the separation of executive and legislative powers and military sexual assaults, among other issues, in the week of March 10-14. This week, Congress is in recess.
House votes:
Separation of Powers: The House on Wednesday passed, 233-181, a GOP bill -- HR 4138 -- empowering one chamber of Congress to file civil suits to compel any president to "faithfully execute" acts of Congress. Opponents argue the Constitution already guards against executive overreach.
U.S. Rep. Mike Kelly, R-3rd Dist.: Yes
U.S. Rep. Glenn Thompson, R-5th Dist: Yes
Unemployment Benefits: The House on Wednesday defeated, 187-228, a Democratic bid to amend HR 4138 to restore benefits for 1.5 million of the long-term unemployed whose eligibility for checks expired Dec. 28. Republicans say benefits must be paid for elsewhere in the budget.
Kelly: No
Thompson: No
Delay of Individual Mandate: The House on Friday approved, 238-181, a bill (HR 4015) to delay the Affordable Care Act's individual mandate for five years and use $138 billion of the savings to pay doctors for Medicare treatments. Congress then would reform the Medicare payment formula.
Kelly: Yes
Thompson: Yes
Ban on Medicare Vouchers: The House on Friday defeated, 191-226, a motion by Democrats to keep Medicare from being converted to a voucher program as a result of HR 4015 (above). A yes vote backed the motion over Republican arguments that their bill would strengthen Medicare over the long term.
Kelly: No
Thompson: No
Senate votes:
Military Sexual Assaults: The Senate on Monday passed, 97-0, a bill (S 1917) to keep prosecutorial decisions in sexual-assault cases in the chain of command while giving the brass more tools for preventing or responding to the thousands of acts of sexual misconduct each year against U.S. troops.
U.S. Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa.: Yes
U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa.: Yes
Child-Care Funding: The Senate on Thursday renewed, 96-2, the Child Care and Development Block Grant at an average annual cost of $2.6 billion through fiscal 2019. A yes vote was to pass S 1086, which funds after-school programs for children from low-income families while their parents are at work.
Casey: Yes
Toomey: Yes
National Flood Insurance: Senators on Thursday voted, 72-22, to cap National Flood Insurance Program premium increases at 18 percent per year. This would blunt a 2012 law to base premiums on the basis of risk and trim the program's $24 billion debt.
Casey: Yes
Toomey: Yes

CBT News Airs Interview With Rick Ricart of Ricart Used Car Factory
Published on Tuesday, 10 September 2013 19:40 Written by TradersHuddle Staff
Rick Ricart, general sales manager of Ricart Used Car Factory, reveals how the company is capitalizing on this year's used car success.
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) September 10, 2013
Rick Ricart, general sales manager for the largest certified pre-owned dealer in America, Ricart Used Car Factory in Columbus, Ohio, spoke with CBT News to discuss the keys of success when selling certified pre-owned vehicles.
The used-car market is showing a rapid increase in sales as it is experiencing a 25% increase since 2012, and the Ricart Used Car Factory is reaping the benefits. The company is highly disciplined on pushing cars to the front line and pricing vehicles quickly for market.
Ricart says, "You'll find that if you sell the car faster, then you have more of a chance making up the money on the front end."
The Ricart Used Car Factory hit the 665 retail used car mark for August and expects even greater numbers this month as the market continues to increase and new advertising campaigns are launched.

Hello everyone,
I have the following problem. My Facebook Like Button is not working on the Home Page (it's static). I am utilizing two plugins right now for this: Facebook Likes You and GetSocial. They work fine on all the other pages.
When I "Like" my frontpage, it adds one to the counter, but then it "forgets" it after I refresh the page. It's frustrating.
Could someone please have a look at it and give me your suggestions: Senior Care Community

Castaneda Files Protest Over Controversial Lopez Loss
By Jake Donovan
The handlers for Roberto Castañeda have filed an official protest over the circumstances surrounding his August 16 loss to Jose Lopez, BoxingScene.com was informed Monday evening.
Lopez survived four knockdowns and a point deduction to floor Castañeda three times in a wild eight-round majority decision in Caguas, Puerto Rico. The bout served as the televised co-feature to Felix Verdejo's shutout win over Oscar Bravo, a headlining act that paled in comparison to the intensity of its chief support.
As more comes out surrounding the scoring controversy in Lopez' narrow win, the bout will continue to remain in the headlines.
"Today, we officially contacted the Puerto Rico boxing commission to protest the outcome of the fight," informed Alex Camponovo, Castañeda's adviser. "We sent a note to the commission, to the representatives for the Association of Boxing Commissions, and the promoters of the event.
"We did this all for our kid, who worked too hard to be treated like that."
Castañeda (21-7-1, 15KOs) has suffered all seven career losses in the span of his past 10 fights. He entered the Lopez fight on the heels of an eight-round win at home in Mexicali, but knew he was facing an uphill battle fighting Lopez on the road in Puerto Rico.
The Mexican slugger did his best to pull off the unthinkable, but quickly found out the deck was stacked against him. The 23-year old overcome a knockdown to floor Lope four times in the opening round, including at round's end at which point the local favorite raced to his corner in hopes that the sequence was overlooked by referee Roberto Ramirez Sr.
Lopez didn't get away with a fourth knockdown called, but was granted the benefit of sitting on his stool during the one-minute rest period while the referee issued a "sitting" eight-count.
"I've never seen anything like that in my life," Camponovo noted. "I mean, why not just give the guy a stretcher to lie down and relax?"
Because the bout was a non-title fight, the unified rules of the ABC were not in effect. Instead, the judges were ordered to score in accordance with the Puerto Rico Professional Boxing Commission (PRPBC) rules, with Castañeda being given credit for a 10-7 round.
That apparently wasn't good enough, according to ringside judge Cesar Ramos, who has since come forward insisting the three officials were demanded to change the round to a 9-7 score. One card was changed, with allegations of it being ordered by Commissioner Jose 'Toto' Peñagaricano.
Upon further review of the official cards, the tallies of all three cards were changed after four rounds of action, reading 36-34 across the board rather than two scores of 36-35 and one card at 36-34, as was announced after four rounds through open scoring by the ring announcer.
The matter is under investigation, with Peñagaricano facing a possible suspension if not a permanent ban altogether if found guilty of such infractions.

Asus Zenbook Prime UX32VD-DB71 Review and Ratings
Our Verdict: Across-the-board improvements to last year's model—from a fast CPU and discrete graphics to a backlit keyboard and the best screen in its class—make Asus' new ultrabook well worth its $1,299 price. Read More…
- What We Liked…
- Terrific 1080p screen
- Fast performance, with Core i7 CPU and discrete graphics
- Three USB 3.0 ports
- VGA, HDMI, and (via USB) Ethernet support
- Backlit keyboard
- What We Didn't…
- Onscreen text can be tiny unless zoomed in
- Minimal backlight bleed
- Mediocre battery life
Asus Zenbook Prime UX32VD-DB71 Review
By July 23, 2012reviewed
Table of Contents
Introduction & Design
Industry pundits say Intel's ultrabook push has been hampered by some models' high prices—that ultrabooks won't catch on, let alone reach Intel's stated goal of 40 percent of all laptop sales, until there are more affordable entries like Lenovo's $799 IdeaPad U310 and Sony's ditto VAIO T Series. At $1,299, the Asus Zenbook Prime UX32VD-DB71 is not only well into four figures, but it's priced $100 higher than the category forerunner, Apple's 13.3-inch MacBook Air. Note to pundits: It's worth it.
Three things make it so: The Asus has a speedy Intel Core i7 processor instead of the MacBook Air's (and most other ultrabooks') Core i5 chips; it has a gorgeous 1,920x1,080 display instead of most 13.3-inch ultrabooks' measly 1,366x768 or the Air's 1,440x900; and it has discrete instead of the usual integrated graphics—Nvidia's 1GB GeForce GT 620M, to be precise.
The result is a great productivity companion, a system that finishes most of our benchmarks in a dead heat with, and graphics benchmarks ahead of, the Acer Aspire S5 that we recently called the fastest ultrabook Computer Shopper has tested—and one that's so suited for photo and video editors that we wish it came with software to compete with Apple's iPhoto and iMovie. Yet even with such capable components, the Zenbook Prime is almost as sleek as its pioneering 2011 ancestor, Asus' Zenbook UX31—a slender wedge that weighs 3.2 pounds, as opposed to 2.9 pounds for the older system or the MacBook Air.
That's a pretty trivial weight gain, especially considering that the Prime offers an ample 500GB of hard drive storage (plus a 24GB solid-state drive to help boost performance) versus those machines' 128GB SSDs. As is, the UX32VD-DB71 is still no heavier than the HP Folio 13 and lighter than other hard-disk-equipped ultrabooks such as the abovementioned Lenovo U310 and Sony VAIO T. And if you're worried about total traveling weight, Asus has whittled its AC adapter to just half a pound.
Though built with traditional sandwich construction rather than a unibody shell, the Zenbook Prime is perhaps the most Air-like of Windows ultrabooks, an 0.7x12.8x8.9-inch tapering wedge with an aluminum top and bottom and a black Chiclet keyboard. Concentric circles etched into the polished lid are an elegant touch (and resist fingerprint smudges). The overall construction feels solid, with next to no flex.
The UX32VD-DB71 bids a welcome adieu to USB 2.0 ports, with three of the swifter USB 3.0 variety, one on the left side and two on the right. The left edge also holds an SD/MultiMediaCard flash-memory slot, while the right side offers a headphone/microphone jack, a mini-VGA port, a full-size HDMI port, and the AC-adapter connector.
Happily, Asus bundles the necessary mini-VGA-to-VGA adapter or dongle so owners will be able to use both old (VGA) and new (HDMI) monitors or projectors. As extra bonuses, you also get a USB-to-Ethernet adapter for connection to wired office networks; a small carrying case for the two dongles; and a nylon sleeve or carrying case for the laptop itself.

Tor Software Down to Zero Bugs
The Tor Project announces that it has removed all bugs that Coverity Scan had found in its software.
The Tor Project (The Onion Router) announced in its blog that all the bugs that Coverity Scan static analysis found in its software were reduced to zero. The analysts had found 171 bugs in September that Tor developers have been successively fixing.
The Tor software has been anonymizing Internet traffic since a few years, a technique that defends against traffic surveillance by using the onion principle: encrypt and decrypt traffic over a network of distributed and untraceable proxy servers. For some users, such as bloggers in repressive regimes, the software can be literally life saving.
Coverity is a company that specializes in uncovering bugs with the help of some pinpoint software. For some open source firms the cost of using Coverity Scan hasn't been cheap, although the software has been provided for free under various sponsorship. A list of open source projects that have undergone the Coverity Scan is here, although the actual results are missing apparently because Coverity, by some blogger accounts, doesn't always keep its website up to date.
Steve Jobs just died!The subject is not true, but that's ok, because it is just an attention grabber?
@ccady: Is this what you meant?
To me a journalist has a special responsibility, because he multiplies information and turns them to news. His mission should be to report the facts and put them into context.
This CAN NOT work if part of the article, the most important, namely his headline is deliberately misleading.
Journalism at large is in a very sorry state, for many reasons. We don't need poor journalism covering free and opensource software, too.
What is the point of the original poster?I am not asking the original poster, I don't think there is a point, but why do they populate the comment sections so often? Anybody got any ideas?
DuhIt is quite clear to me that the headline is an attention grabber, and that the article speaks clearly to the fact that Tor has all the Coverity-found bugs removed. It is obvious to most readers that there might still be other bugs that Coverity did not find. Don't blame the author. The article is fine.
Journalist down to zero knowledge?It is even WORSE if you deliberately wrote a wrong and misleading headline.
Thats why......I wrote two times: "...all bugs that coverity scan found..."
Let me be the first to call b&**$$!tSorry, there is no such thing as (useful) bug free code. Any code with more than a single nop has some kind of bug lurking. You should know better than that

In the letter to NLRB general counsel Lafe Solomon, Republican U.S. Rep. Darrell Issa of California argues that Congress has the right to supersede attorney-client privilege in gathering information about the communications the NLRB had with Boeing and the union that represents Boeing workers in Washington state.
The NLRB sued Chicago-based Boeing Co. in April, saying the aeronautics giant illegally retaliated against unionized Washington state workers when it opened a 787 passenger jet manufacturing line in South Carolina, a right-to-work state. Boeing already makes the planes in the Seattle area, and the company hopes more than 1,000 non-union workers will eventually build three of the aircraft per month at the $750 million South Carolina plant, the largest industrial investment in the state's history.
Issa asks Solomon to turn over his office's communications about the Boeing case, including any messages with NLRB officials, other federal agencies or members of Congress. Issa says he also wants e-mails and call logs between the NLRB and Boeing, along with communications with the International Association of Machinists union.
"Attorney-client privilege is a judicially-developed policy intended to foster client confidence and encourage full disclosure to an attorney in anticipation of an adversarial setting," Issa wrote. "However, the need to protect this interest in an investigative setting where a congressional committee is not adjudicating the liberty or property interests of a witness is less compelling. ... Therefore, attorney-client privilege claims can be overcome by Congress."
Issa gives Solomon until July 26 to turn over the records or face a possible subpoena. An NLRB spokeswoman declined to comment on the request, and Solomon has said in previous communications to Issa that releasing some documents would compromise the case.
The labor case could drag on for years, and a Seattle judge has begun hearing arguments. Boeing has denied the charge, saying it opened the South Carolina plant for valid economic reasons. Last month, a federal judge denied Boeing's request to toss the lawsuit.
Solomon initially resisted appearing when Issa brought his U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform to South Carolina for a field hearing last month, citing the ongoing legal case, but eventually relented and testified before the panel.
The lawsuit against Boeing has drawn outrage from Republicans who claim it interferes with the right of company managers to choose where and how to expand business operations.
South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, a persistent union critic, has asked GOP presidential hopefuls stumping in the state -- home to the first-in-the-South Republican primary -- to weigh in on the dispute.
Haley has also called on President Obama to tell the NLRB to back off. Obama, who has declined to criticize or openly support the actions of the independent federal agency, last week called on Boeing and its workers to resolve their differences, saying businesses should generally be able to locate where they want but must follow the law.

Mushroom farming in kenya is arguably one of the most profitable yet capital friendly types of farming and I will explain why. Let's take greenhouse farming as an example. A typical 8 by 15 greenhouse from a reputable supplier costs a minimum of sh130,000. This is without the seeds, labor, water tank, drip lines and maintenance costs. This figure could easily double or even triple after everything has been accounted for. At the end of the day, this figure could make lock out a lot of middle income earners.
The capital required to start mushroom farming in kenya is however much less . The requirements are mostly cheap and readily available. The most capital intensive requirement would be the construction of a room to house the mushrooms but this can be easily done away with as any room can be used for this purpose.
The Compost preparation and planting doesn't incur a lot of costs. The required material and chemicals for mushroom farming in kenya can be bought from any hardware/agricultural store.

At maturity, a mushroom bag can be harvested up to 6 times(flashes) producing about 1.5kg in total. Now, a kg of currently mushrooms(button) goes for ksh800. Assuming you had 800 bags, and each produced 1kg,you would have 800kgs of mushrooms multiplied by the market price, that would give you ksh640,000. This is from a small 15 by 30 room and minimal capital.
As you can see, it doesn't take much to be profitable in mushroom farming. The only thing you require is the determination to care for the mushrooms and will to succeed.
What You Need to Know to Start Mushroom Farming
How to Plant Mushrooms in Kenya
Treatment of the compost
comes next and this is done using steam in large scale production but in small scale mushroom farming in Kenya you can use a combination of the chemicals atom and diazonal. Quantities to be used depend on the quantity of the wheat straw you have. The mixture of chemicals is sprayed onto the wheat straw.
At this stage you have all the necessary requirements to grow your spawn. What you need is now the growing paper which is available from many polythene shops countrywide. In Nairobi you can buy it from ASAMIS ltd which is at Jeevanjee opposite Sanford hotel Moi Avenue.
Now it is time to plant. Begin by mixing the straw and spawns then packing them into the growing paper. Proceed to put them in a closed room or structure away from direct sunlight and other pollutants. Ensure that you monitor temperature in the growing bag to be around 32o Celsius. Wait for 10 to 14 days for the spawns to come up.
Once the spawns are visible as white grainy particles on the growing bag add about 2 inches of good soil onto the growing bag. It is important at this stage to introduce humidity into the room. You can do this using a humidifier or using a knapsack and ordinary clean water. Spray the air around the room and also the floors and wall using the knapsack ensuring the water comes out as a jet of mist.
The humidity is important to stimulate the mushrooms growing. After 10 or 14 days depending on how long it took for the spawns to come up the mushrooms will be ready for harvesting. The mushrooms will be harvested for one and a half month. Starting mushroom farming in Kenya or any other place is now easy as it sounds.
At this stage you are almost ready to start mushroom farming. Remember to leave us your comment and questions on mushroom farming in Kenya.Also

Column - Doomed to their fatal delusion
Andrew Bolt
–, Wednesday, July, 09, 2008, (5:43am)
PSYCHIATRISTS have detected the first case of "climate change delusion" - and they haven't even yet got to Kevin Rudd and his global warming guru.
Writing in the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry, Joshua Wolf and Robert Salo of our Royal Children's Hospital say this delusion was a "previously unreported phenomenon".
"A 17-year-old man was referred to the inpatient psychiatric unit at Royal Children's Hospital Melbourne with an eight-month history of depressed mood . . . He also . . . had visions of apocalyptic events."
(So have Alarmist of the Year Tim Flannery, Profit of Doom Al Gore and Sir Richard Brazen, but I digress.)
"The patient had also developed the belief that, due to climate change, his own water consumption could lead within days to the deaths of millions of people through exhaustion of water supplies."
But never mind the poor boy, who became too terrified even to drink. What's scarier is that people in charge of our Government seem to suffer from this "climate change delusion", too.
Here is Prime Minister Kevin Rudd yesterday, with his own apocalyptic vision: "If we do not begin reducing the nation's levels of carbon pollution, Australia's economy will face more frequent and severe droughts, less water, reduced food production and devastation of areas such as the Great Barrier Reef and Kakadu wetlands."
And here is a senior Sydney Morning Herald journalist aghast at the horrors described in the report on global warming released on Friday by Rudd's guru, Professor Ross Garnaut: "Australians must pay more for petrol, food and energy or ultimately face a rising death toll . . ."
Wow. Pay more for food or die. Is that Rudd's next campaign slogan?
Of course, we can laugh at this—and must—but the price for such folly may soon be your job, or at least your cash.
Rudd and Garnaut want to scare you into backing their plan to force people who produce everything from petrol to coal-fired electricity, from steel to soft drinks, to pay for licences to emit carbon dioxide—the gas they think is heating the world to hell.
The cost of those licences, totalling in the billions, will then be passed on to you through higher bills for petrol, power, food, housing, air travel and anything else that uses lots of gassy power. In some countries they're even planning to tax farting cows, so there's no end to the ways you can be stung.
Rudd hopes this pain will make you switch to expensive but less gassy alternatives, and—hey presto—the world's temperature will then fall, just like it's actually done since the day Al Gore released An Inconvenient Truth.
But you'll have spotted already the big flaw in Rudd's mad plan—one that confirms he and Garnaut really do have delusions.
The truth is Australia on its own emits less than 1.5 per cent of the world's carbon dioxide. Any savings we make will make no real difference, given that China (now the biggest emitter) and India (the fourth) are booming so fast that they alone will pump out 42 per cent of the world's greenhouse gases by 2030.
Indeed, so fast are the world's emissions growing—by 3.1 per cent a year thanks mostly to these two giants—that the 20 per cent cuts Rudd demands of Australians by 2020 would be swallowed up in just 28 days. That's how little our multi-billions of dollars in sacrifices will matter.
And that's why Rudd's claim that we'll be ruined if we don't cut Australia's gases is a lie. To be blunt.
Ask Rudd's guru. Garnaut on Friday admitted any cuts we make will be useless unless they inspire other countries to do the same—especially China and India: "Only a global agreement has any prospect of reducing risks of dangerous climate change to acceptable levels."
So almost everything depends on China and India copying us. But the chances of that? A big, round zero.
A year ago China released its own global warming strategy—its own Garnaut report—which bluntly refused to cut its total emissions.
Said Ma Kai, head of China's powerful State Council: "China does not commit to any quantified emissions-reduction commitments . . . our efforts to fight climate change must not come at the expense of economic growth."
In fact, we had to get used to more gas from China, not less: "It is quite inevitable that during this (industrialisation) stage, China's energy consumption and CO2 emissions will be quite high."
Last month, India likewise issued its National Action Plan on Climate Change, and also rejected Rudd-style cuts.
The plan's authors, the Prime Minister's Council on Climate Change, said India would rather save its people from poverty than global warming, and would not cut growth to cut gases.
"It is obvious that India needs to substantially increase its per capita energy consumption to provide a minimally acceptable level of wellbeing to its people."
The plan's only real promise was in fact a threat: "India is determined that its per capita greenhouse gas emissions will at no point exceed that of developed countries."
Gee, thanks. That, of course, means India won't stop its per capita emissions (now at 1.02 tonnes) from growing until they match those of countries such as the US (now 20 tonnes). Given it has one billion people, that's a promise to gas the world like it's never been gassed before.
So is this our death warrant? Should this news have you seeing apocalyptic visions, too?
Well, no. What makes the Indian report so interesting is that unlike our Ross Garnaut, who just accepted the word of those scientists wailing we faced doom, the Indian experts went to the trouble to check what the climate was actually doing and why.
Their conclusion? They couldn't actually find anything bad in India that was caused by man-made warming: "No firm link between the documented (climate) changes described below and warming due to anthropogenic climate change has yet been established."
In fact, they couldn't find much change in the climate at all.
Yes, India's surface temperature over a century had inched up by 0.4 degrees, but there had been no change in trends for large-scale droughts and floods, or rain: "The observed monsoon rainfall at the all-India level does not show any significant trend . . ."
It even dismissed the panic Al Gore helped to whip up about melting Himalayan glaciers: "While recession of some glaciers has occurred in some Himalayan regions in recent years, the trend is not consistent across the entire mountain chain. It is, accordingly, too early to establish long-term trends, or their causation, in respect of which there are several hypotheses."
Nor was that the only sign that India's Council on Climate Change had kept its cool while our Rudd and Garnaut lost theirs.
For example, the Indians rightly insisted nuclear power had to be part of any real plan to cut emissions. Rudd and Garnaut won't even discuss it.
The Indians also pointed out that no feasible technology to trap and bury the gasses of coal-fired power stations had yet been developed "and there are serious questions about the cost as well (as) permanence of the CO2 storage repositories".
Rudd and Garnaut, however, keep offering this dream to make us think our power stations can survive their emissions trading scheme, when state governments warn they may not.
In every case the Indians are pragmatic where Rudd and Garnaut are having delusions—delusions about an apocalypse, about cutting gases without going nuclear, about saving power stations they'll instead drive broke.
And there's that delusion on which their whole plan is built—that India and China will follow our sacrifice by cutting their throats, too.
So psychiatrists are treating a 17-year-old tipped over the edge by global warming fearmongers?
Pray that their next patients will be two men whose own delusions threaten to drive our whole economy over the edge as well.
Have Your Say
It is becoming downright disturbing. I used to chuckle about this and think that no-one could be so stupid as to introduce this sort of scheme here. Yeah, I know, JWH mumbled about something by 2012 but I didn't expect him to barrel on without everyone else doing it as well. But these Labor dills are actually going to deliberately tax us into the ground irrespective of what the rest of the world is doing, and are (in my opinion) fabricating the consequences of our inaction, again irrespective of what the rest of the world does. All the while acknowledging that what we do really won't make a difference to emissions unless everyone else is on board as well. Classic doublethink.
Zealots have the support of their own conscience I suppose, so I don't expect Labor will stop this madness until voted out.

Greg, Great Leader is hell bent on the creation of a new "dependant class" to take the place of his working families - probably Julia's idea....
Wed 09 Jul 08 (10:04am)
It's a wonder this blog is even allowed to operate. Newlstd's boss is greener that the Amazon Jungle ( at least what is left of the Amazon before more huge tracts are destroyed in the quest of saving the planet with bio-fuels,) and a staunch supporter of carbon emissions trading and left politics. Newsltd is to go green ASAP (carbon neutral green that is) in step with progresive thinking. Well..in step with progressive fads anyhow. Newsltd also editorialised Rudd into power with generally less than a vigourous serious press giving him a media free ride.
Wed 09 Jul 08 (04:15pm)
It goes to show that, unlike the conga line of Green fanatics shrieking 'The debate is over, we have consensus, we are peer revooed, execute the skeptics for crimes against the globe', Bolt's boss is more dedicated to editorial integrity and fair debate than people give him credit for (and that Bolt's columns sell a lot of papers, I suppose).

Can Rudd and the rest of his scaremongering delusionists be
sectioned under the mental health
act. Perhaps they can be also charged
with incitment to delusional thinking
in the greater community.
Should this be made a crime thus allowing the police to charge Rudd
and his fellow travellers.
Will taxpayers be picking up the tab
for the treatment of climate change delusion sufferersthus putting even
more pressure on the health system.
Are Rudd and his pet GW turkeys
directly responsible for causing mental health suffering in the vulnerable and hypersensitive or those
that take politics too seriously.
In other words is Rudd cruel and mean.
There are probably those who would claim that, anyone suffering from 'climate change delusion' possibly had a pre-existing mental disorder.
But, is that a good enough reason to brush this matter aside. The young man mentioned above, is 17 yrd old and still legally classified as a child....so he would no doubt be also classified as a 'vulnerable' member of our society and should be protected as such.
Several days ago, I broached this matter on the blog. Just how much fear and panic must be heaped on our children in the name of 'climate change'. How many of them are harbouring visions of an apocalypse or dealing with nightmares? Has a survey been conducted? How many would be too afraid of their fears to admit it?
The young are so impressionable, so willing to believe (with their innocence), without the resources to rationalise or keep things in perspective.
If the incidence of 'climate change delusion' is found to escalate amongst our youth, ie children, then I do believe that those who 'deem' it necessary to manipulate young minds with fearsome images, 'panic-speak' and 'guilt association' should question their collusion in 'child abuse'.
(Perhaps a good topic for the ABCs 'Q&A;' programme...collateral outrage opinion..CO2.)

As always Nonna, nicely put.
Wed 09 Jul 08 (09:34pm)
thankyou Nonna for your care about the children.
The fear that is being used to push agendas in this country is overboard .
never a positive mention for anything , just how doomsday everything is .
When i was growing up , it was fear of a nuclear war , and all that did was encourage me to indulge in behaviour that was not conducive to health as my attitude was what the hell , we are all going to die anyway , and it's taken me 15 years to get out of that fear/belief/behaviour! i do thank God for Andrew's sense.
Everything you've said here Andrew is plain irrefutable fact. We've entrusted Rudd with the most powerful job in the land and he wants to use it to make an example of us, to punish us with a regime of laws that will simply impoverish us for the sake of a gesture.
The Indian and Chinese governments will always be far too savvy and immune to guilt tripping and manipulation by greens to sign on to any deal that will hamstring their populations.
Rudd is just a credulous dupe who can't say no to a green movement that is desperate because it knows that without the Manmade Global Warming scam it will be all but irrelevant. All the rational goals of environmentalism have been achieved so to keep their identities as activists and leaders of green morality, the greens had to invent an irrational one which we can never achieve, thus ensuring their continuing status. Manmade Global Warming was born.
Thankfully most voters are also savvy and immune to guilt tripping by desperate greens, unlike Labor politicians and their apparatchiks, so we can see clearly what they're trying to do and won't be fooled. So let Rudd allow himself to be manipulated if he insists - he'll pay for it big time at the ballot box.

Or maybe, being the uber-nerd he is, he had his head pushed into the toilet one too many times by the Mark Latham types at school and this is his way of getting back at everyone. One thing's for sure, if he goes ahead and whacks us all with an ETS, he's going to get the punishment of his life at the next election.
I'm sure that in the last 2 months I read that Dr Rajendra Pachauri, head of the IPCC, was leading an organisation created by the Indian government to advise it on climate matters.
If that report was correct then it would seem to be a case of "Do as I say, not as I do".

This emerging phenomenon of "climate-change-delusion" is hardly surprising given the media-fuelled hysteria that the western world has been bombarded with for so many years.
I imagine the kind of brainwashing that causes an otherwise perfectly normal muslim to become a suicide bomber is a similar mental ailment.
It appears however, like muslim suicide bombers, that ANYONE can be afflicted with this new mental ailment of "climate-change-delusion".
From Prime Minister Kevin Rudd/Professor Ross Garnaut down to poor unfortunate school children, the disease strikes indiscriminately across our wide brown (and green and often wet) land.
The cure?
Only TIME may EVENTUALLY cure those who have succumbed to this insidious sickness.
Wed 09 Jul 08 (09:07am)
Of course India's quest to provide CO2 free energy to it's masses would be much simpler if the Rudd government consented to sell uranium to the world's most populous democarcy.

It staggers me that someone educated (and I am assuming that you're educated Mr Bolt) has such a strong negative opinion towards climate change. If I knew any better Mr Bolt, I would assume this is your angle for selling a column/newspaper. You are taking a controversial view on a topic that has monetary consequences for all Australians. To people who do not read or understand the science (and after talking to my family that includes the majority of them), your view is somewhat popular because of the monetary consequences. You seem to think its some sort of conspiracy, this 'climate change' and that the leaders are the Flannery's, Garnaut's and the PM. But you neglect to inform your readers that Europe has been at the forefront of tackling climate change for the last decade. Oh, but they're probably in on the conspiracy as well...Maybe if you spent as much time researching the scientific literature as you do writing anti-climate change columns, you may just find some truth to the message being sold by Garnaut et al. Your arguments remind me of another debate and I would put money on it that you're a believer of creationism or intelligent design.....am I right Mr Bolt?
Wed 09 Jul 08 (09:40am)
Wed 09 Jul 08 (10:22am)
Doesn't look like your European OverLords are that smart after all…
"...EU alert on biofuel targets..."
And their Emissions Trading Scheme was such a resounding success.
"...the message being sold by Garnaut et al..."
Sold is right...it's a pup.
Especially when the Gar-Nut Medicine Show has as its Chief Snake Oil Salesman the Chairman of Lihir Gold.
"...am I right Mr Bolt?..."
Ummm, no.
Not even close...but thanx for trying.
Wed 09 Jul 08 (10:26am)
Your arguments remind me of another debate and I would put money on it that you're a believer of creationism or intelligent design.....am I right Mr Bolt?
I cannot speak for Mr. Bolt, however I am not a believer in creationism, intelligent design or (so far) MAN-MADE GLOBAL-WARMING/CLIMATE-CHANGE!!!
Wed 09 Jul 08 (10:27am)
Andy, an unprovable hypothesis does not make for good science but it does make for a good quasi-religion. AGW or CC (you people cant make up your mind) can't be proved by the oft quoted computer modelling methods, ergo this is a falacy or myth.
Andy i'll give you this advice look at the data and ask questions & don't drink your bong water.
Wed 09 Jul 08 (10:40am)
Your arguments remind me of another debate and I would put money on it that you're a believer of creationism or intelligent design.....
Andy, you mustn't be a very bright scientist if you can't spot the difference. The debate about intelligent design vs. creationism is purely academic, it doesn't require a painful restructuring of the world economy with painful self-inflicted sacrifices now to avert what is purely hypothetical.
Besides, the theory of global warming is not science, it is quackery. Something that may or may not happen 50 or 100 years from now, cannot be proved or disproved and thus lays outside the realm of science. No amount of computer-based clairvoyance can alter the fact that future is unprovable. Please don't call your religious doomsday beliefs science.
Wed 09 Jul 08 (10:55am)
I think the graph says it all Mr. Bolt.
Australians are up there with the Saudis and Americans in being the most wasteful countries on earth with energy. You might want to think through your questions and do some research, you are a journalist right?
Wed 09 Jul 08 (11:12am)
It staggers me, Andy, that anyone would think it worthwhile to use the same tired old tactics to attempt to discredit climate realists.
You're clearly not educated in regard to this issue because you cite the policies of the Europeans, which anyone who's looked into this knows have been a complete and utter failure. That's just a little pathetic Andy.
I notice Bolt doesn't even dignify your suggestions that he's a creationist with a response.
From your shock that anyone would dare contradict the self-serving claims of the alarmists, you clearly have a whole lot of waking up to do.
Wed 09 Jul 08 (11:22am)
Sometimes I think I am a bit severe on scientists and then you come along and you show me how every short-coming of scientists I point out is right and even more.
Your argument has no science whatsoever. Your ability to get your head around a problem is lacking. For you there is a narrow doctrine to your field which you stick to. Anything from the side throws you. You have no grasp on basic maths, physics and chem. I get a little annoyed with people's obsessions with minutae and links. The raw basis quickly shows that AGW is bunk. The raw basis is that science is corrupted by their grant system, politics, review by peers of incomptence.
Wed 09 Jul 08 (11:25am)
The Eurotards are starving Africans thanks to their biofuel targets. A great outcome isn't it?
Wed 09 Jul 08 (11:39am)
AndytheScientist, I beleive you to be result of the BIG BANG as for the rest of us we are still working on it.
One thing for sure though, we must make sure that K Rudd at end of this governing term, only comes back to govern for those he is interested in, in 100 years time.
Wed 09 Jul 08 (12:10pm)
Andy, it is the refusal by (mostly) proponent public scientists to read the literature or use proper scientific enquiry in the AGW matter, that is the real problem with this issue.
There is a voluminous amount of scientific writing by credible and knowledgeable scientists, who refute and rebut most of the assumptions of scientists who are putting forward the hypotheses of CO2 engendered global warming. Additionally, most of the proponent scientists don't even bother to provide an evidence based argument against these claims that falsify their hypotheses, but rather indulge in ad hominen attacks to support their arguments.
Moreover, if you were a public scientist you would understand how those that rule the funding, shape the path that these publicly funded scientists take when they mount an investigation. Ask yourself if they would be likely to fund someone who says they think the whole thing is a crock, and they want to run some investigations to prove it so.
Interruptions to the Gravy Train are never welcome.
As well, of the 2500 scientists involved in the IPCC report who "supported" the human induced Global Warming epidemic theory, a review of those 2500 scientists found only 7 who actually supported the general thrust of the data contained in the IPCC report.
I would also be interested in knowing why a person who purports to be a scientist would support the notion of a consensus on this. A consensus is the antithesis of proper scientific method.
Wed 09 Jul 08 (12:23pm)
What is this "scientific literature" you speak of? Can you show us?
Come on, prove beyond reasonable doubt climate change exists. Oh wait, you can't!
Wed 09 Jul 08 (12:55pm)
The something that may or may not exist reminded me of the Cal Sagan parable about skepticism, science, and faith "The Dragon in my Garage"......
"Now what is the difference between an invisible, incorporeal, floating dragon who spits heatless fire and no dragon at all? If there's no way to disprove my contention, no conceivable experiment that would count against it, what does it mean to say that my dragon exists? You're inability to invalidate my hypothesis is not at all the same thing as proving it true. Claims that cannot be tested, assertions immune to disproof are veridically worthless, whatever value they may have in inspiring us or in exciting our sense of wonder. What I'm asking you to do comes down to believing, in the absence of evidence, on my say-so"
Wed 09 Jul 08 (01:44pm)
Andy, scientists like you scare the s*** out of me.
Can you prove that there is a direct causal link between CO2 emissions produced by human activity and climate change?
No. So instead, scientists like yourself rely on so-called 'scientific consensus'. You arrogantly assert that it is not you, the scientist, who is required to prove your theory, but we, the rest of the world, who are required to disprove it.
That's NOT how real science works. It IS, however, how quacks and charlatans work.
Wed 09 Jul 08 (02:14pm)
"Australians are up there with the Saudis and Americans in being the most wasteful countries on earth with energy. "
Awesome! Aussies always punch above their weight, but we need to push on and take the #1 spot!
Wed 09 Jul 08 (04:18pm)
So AndytheScientist, who pays you? Big Green? Big Carbon? The Australian Government? Because it sounds like your own angle is biased. It sounds like your grant money may well be coming from someplace that promotes CC/GW and it would not be in your best interest to stop that gravy train from running.
I'm someone who is a pragmatist and it astounds me that so many scientists linked to the GW/CC agenda treat it almost like a religion.
Science is supposedly about theories that get investigated, argued about, analysed, researched, overturned, rewritten etc; yet this isn't happening with GW/CC. Those who are sceptical about it get called 'deniers' like GW/CC is something to do with God or faith. There seems to be a whole lack of traditional scientific process happening here - it happens in other scientific avenues (such as paleoanthropology) but is strangely absent here.
So, can you perhaps tell me why Scientific Process is not happening? And don't tell me the Science is settled, because that's an outright lie. I'd be interested in your answer to this very simple question.
p.s. Look-up "Piltdown Man' - Scientists thought that the science was settled about that too, but they were wrong.
Wed 09 Jul 08 (05:07pm)
You might want to have a look at this story.
Some scientific literature that shows that it is more than greenhouse gases that can have an effect on temperature.
How much money? Let's make this interesting.
Oh, and refresh my memory:
"you neglect to inform your readers that Europe has been at the forefront of tackling climate change for the last decade"
How much exactly has Europe, at the forefront, cut its emissions? Excluding, of course, any savings made by the collapse of industry in Eastern European countries following the fall of communism?

The Garnaut Climate Change Review states;
'Mainstream contemporary science says that there is a 10 per cent chance of Australia becoming wetter under a no-mitigation case. This would be associated with a significant increase in rainfall in the northern part of the Murray-Darling Basin by 2050 (that is, a 20â€"30 per cent increase)' (p. 171).
Yet the prime minister highlighted the dry Murray Darling Basin as a need to act on climate change (global warming?). Does this mean no action is required?
I confess I did not read the entire Garnaut Climate Change Review (life is too short — according to the document) and maybe the discrepancy has been addressed, but the over-arching feeling from the document — an increase in tropical vector born parasites — does seem in favor of a wetter Eastern Australia.
Wed 09 Jul 08 (09:41am)
Some good news/something to ponder,
We have a good community - the reason that I say this is that our community has been blitzed by global warming/climate change advocates for 25 years.....that's a long time. But, it seems to me that this group cannot remove gnawing doubts about the validity of what they are selling to us. It seems only now that the general debate is starting to even up.
and....what are scientists going to call themselves when this issue goes the way of Y2K...surely the whole profession will go 'underground' due the embarrassment. They really painting themselves into a corner here.
Wed 09 Jul 08 (09:41am)
Wed 09 Jul 08 (10:57am)
Y2K wasn't a hoax.
It was a real problem and significant money was spen globally to ensure that nothing went wrong.
There was substantial work and testing in the preceding years to ensure your electricity kept flowing, the ATMs were still working etc after midnight on the 31 December, 1999.
Wed 09 Jul 08 (11:45am)
BFS, the Y2K bug was nicely time bound. AGW just stretches out to infinity. No warming this year? The danger is still there. No warming this decade? Ah, the underlying trend is being masked by a temporary cool period. Noe of the catastrophic predications from the 1998 model have been realised? Ah, but we have better models now.
Wed 09 Jul 08 (09:50pm)
that is the most fabulous comment. i remember waiting for that Y2K bug, someone turned the lights off at the party I was at on midnight! Oh my god we all gasped, however NO PLANES FELL OUT OF THE SKY and the lights did come back on ,hence i am not waiting for this mythical climate change to occur ; they say change is a constant anyway , the problem is if things don't !
Speaking of delusion, the High Priestess of the People's Republic of Moreland is screaming into her echo chamber again this morning…
"...AM I the only person terrified by everything getting so big?..."
Afew suggestions for you Cat:
Stop eating...donate your groceries to charity.
Buy bigger overalls.
"...Is anyone else feeling that the bigger things get, the more soulless they are becoming?..."
Nah, that's too easy.
"...Going to one of those all-you-can-eat places makes me feel sick..."
Seeing you there must be a nightmare for the staff.
"...All this gorging...(is) making us fat, sad and scared, which affects the cost of health care and leaves fewer resources for schools and aid. We're getting stressed and sad and that impacts on our productivity, quality of life and happiness and that of those around us. And it's corroding our souls..."

Wed 09 Jul 08 (12:12pm)
...Instead of going to the local supermarket to buy what they need, they're driving kilometres, taking 20 minutes to park and buying stuff they don't need, because it's cheap.
Or, it might be providing an opportunity for people at the lowest income levels - beset by rising petrol prices, interest rates, inflation and the prospect of an ETS - to provide for their families.
Get a grip, Cat.
Wed 09 Jul 08 (02:21pm)
Been to costco have you Cat?
I have, and love the free bee's that are given out..Love those women in white with their samples..Hope that trait follows to Australia..
Anyway, maybe if a group of friends all put in, buy a card, buy bulk, and as you say , cheap cheap, split it up amongst those families, then they will save...lots…
The 'Main 2' will be more nervous than when Aldi appeared.
Have Coles/Safeway shares Cat??
Maybe because they are American is the bottom line..
Oh, 'grannies' all you can eat..less than $10.00 and includes all food and drinks..Hell, can't buy fish'n'chips in Aussie for less than that..
Costco will be great...Don't bag it until you try it..
I'm especially worried that the Ruddster has a special invite to the G8, with only Henny Penny Wong to hold his hand.
He has already demonstrated to us at Kyoto that he is a giant egotist, and if famous and important people tell him what a good fellow he is he and pat him on the head, he will perform any trick they ask (particularly if there is a camera nearby).
What inane promises will he make to his 'betters' from Europe to ingratiate hiself, and how many livelihoods will be destroyed in Australia as a result?

Wed 09 Jul 08 (09:52am)
With a bit of luck the reluctance of the Chinese and Indians (and hopefully, the US) to swallow this humbug just might save us from ourselves. Surely, no sane person (and that is why I worry about Mr Rudd) would summarily introduce economy destroying policies without those States doing similar. Funny, isn't it. we in the Western world have for years considered, quite wrongly, the Eastern races to be inferior. Here we have proof, if anyone needed it, that they really are a lot smarter than we are.
Wed 09 Jul 08 (10:18am)
The future is to a large extent unknowable. Science can synthesise evidence and the laws of probability to make predictions, but that's really all that it can do. This is true both in terms of the risk of climate change occuring, and if the risk does materialise, the extent of the damage. Science has enough trouble telling us what the weather will be tomorrow, let alone what it's going to do in the next 50 - 100 years.
So on what basis do we expect developing countries to cripple their own economies? On what ground should they deprive their people of a basic standard of living, while we in the West continue to enjoy the comforts afforded by our energy-driven economies? We should not forget that most people in the world live out their lives in grinding porverty, and the horror and tragedy that accompanies that way of life. But we do forgot. I think historians will look back at our pre-occupation with climate change aghast at our hyprocrsy and cruely wrought by our ineptitude.
Wed 09 Jul 08 (10:42am)
Well of course I fully support Andrew's nice robust argument.
The parallels with Jonestown and Waco are scary. The Jonestown massacre involved apocalyptic vision and the cult leader getting all followers to drink the poisonous potion. Rudd and Garnaut are trying to get all Australians to drink their poisonous potion. The potential consequences are severe. Rudd is becoming very much worse than Whitlam. He is a very dangerous politician. He is beset with grandeur with no meaning. Hawke saw the need for communication in controlling inflation, Keating saw the need to reform our finances. Howard saw the need for micro-economic reform. I know lots of people don't like these guys. But they were men of substance. Ambitious and flawed yes, but of substance that really benefited Australia. Rudd is a nothing and after power. He is dangerous and must be rid of.
The new concern for me is that Bush and G8 are actually entertaining cuts. Is the science world that extensive and dishonest ? Andrew reported NASA's outlandish claims of extreme tornados and the rest of it. There is a fundamental flaw in science funding. The only way these guys get promotion is by grants. We will only give them grants if they scare the socks off us. And indeed they are. Science is corrupted.
Why I don't like scientists … because I have worked with them and many of their chiefs' knowledge is very poor. One was doing testing on houses with horizontal studs. They guy was paid $250k pa. I pointed out that houses are not built that way. But he was getting grants so who cared ?
Do note that any rebuttal to Andrew is on the basis of opinion; never any coherent defendable science of substance.
Wed 09 Jul 08 (10:57am)
Wed 09 Jul 08 (05:21pm)
Tazzz, if politicians are getting their sticky, little fingers into it there is money to be made - by them. (See Al Gore).
I agree with you that Rudd is dangerous to our country and to its people. Incompetence and a presumptiously arrogant ego in the leader of a country is a nightmare scenario for disaster. A compliant, fawning media who hide the truth and fail in their duty (do they have any code of professionalism?) to do the research and ask questions of people in power nurture the beginning of a totalitarian state.
They should have done this before the election and they did not. It is absolutely vital that they do it now.
"Australians must pay more for petrol, food and energy . . . "
This can't be good.
Hopefully the government will compensate essential primary producers like vintners and fromagers.
Energy isn't much of a concern for me as my carbon footprint is less than a quarter the average Australian's.

VP, Marilyn Shepherd claims hers is less than 10%, so you've still got work to do.
The plan's authors, the Prime Minister's Council on Climate Change, said India would rather save its people from poverty than global warming, and would not cut growth to cut gases.
And our own PM is busy reverse engineering the architecture of Australia with a rise of 20 to 25% across the board.
OK if you've been able to set your misses up in a multi million dollar business and you don't have to live the common persons reality.
He's starting to look like Aleda Marcos to me. He get's to pick out which pairs of shiny new shoes to pack for his next overseas jaunt while we get to pick the shortest route to walk to the dole que.

And I thought I was the only one being sceptical about all the CO2 hysteria! Whilst I have no doubt that keeping pollution under control is not only highly commendable but also a good thing to do, although not a scientist, I have to say that I fail to see how CO2 - a naturally occurring gas, essential to plant life - can really do what the pundits if doom say!
There is no question that sufficient CO2 in the atmosphere can have a dramatic effect, and one need only look at the record of what happened after the explosion of Krakatoa in the 19th Century. This blanketed the Earth with dust and caused temporary climate change. It actually cooled the planet!
I am working on editing a book for a man who has spent the last 20+ years researching magnetism & gravity, & similarly profound subjects. He points out one salient fact that seems to have been 'swept under the carpet' by the Media and, consequently, ignored by our politician and bureaucrats. That fact is that the Sun reversed its polarity on 15th February 2001. Check it out here.
at this highly-credible website.
Furthermore this is a regular event, occurring about once every 11 years. So the next 'switch' is due in about 2012.
The Sun is a gigantic emitter of radiation - magnetism if you like - and is bombarding the Earth continuously. It's magnetic influence interacts with the Earth's magnetic field so that any change in the Sun will, naturally, affect everything here.
Significantly, since this change, our weather patterns have altered by moving the weather pressure patterns around. A simple comparison of weather charts demonstrates this quite clearly, and my friend's book contains these charts. Thus, we have very high pressures over us in Southern Australia during our winter (= little or no rain) and bigger, deeper lows further north (= abnormally high rains and floods). A similar pattern has been seen in the Northern Hemisphere.
The author postulates that this is caused entirely by the changed magnetic influence from the Sun, and the resulting movement in cloud positioning and heights. And there is absolutely nothing we can do about it!
It would be fascinating to hear the CO2 gas alarmists explain how it could have caused this shift!
