Finnish news (60.67 indoor wDT NR for Kämäräinen)
About time I started a general Finnish results thread, considering that (sadly) very few of our meets merit threads of their own.
Hanna Grobler (née Mikkonen, now married to Gerbrandt the South African javelinist who for obvious reasons is not going to pull a Kruger and become a Finn...) high jumped 191 today, which may not be earth-shattering on an international scale but is only 1cm off (her own) NR and was a very pleasant surprise after all the injuries she's been through and the first time she reached such heights after '06.
Talking of Kruger, he's having heavy problems even breaking 60 now, mainly due to timing problems. This is hardly surprising since he had timing problems last year already and then used the winter to shake off some fat, thus messing his timing up further... Reportedly the physical abilities are still there but alas I fear he won't be a factor at Berlin.
(I should mention though that I'm not an optimal judge, not having seen him throwing in real life this year. I missed this year's Paavo Nurmi Games since the weather was way too hot for me and the only other event of any note was men's LJ, which Mokoena won with a 814 despite a heavy headwind. Tommi Evilä also finally returned to 8+ club after many disappointing early season meets.)
And talking of javelin guys, the Pihtipudas Javelin Carnival (where one guy is normally selected to our major team) is looming. They had the age group competitions yesterday; men U23 was good, with Kankaanpää at 80.23 PB and Etelätalo at 79.70 PB (85.70 guy Ari Mannio was absent). However U18 and younger boys aren't where they should be... In wU20, Sanni Utriainen (daughter of Esa) also PB'd at 53.61.

Re: Finnish results
Women's edition is finished. Mickle of Australia continued her good form this year with 61.83. Mikaela Ingberg ('95 WC bronze medalist) was second with 61.03, marking her millionth consecutive year at 60+... Will report on men's comp in a couple hours.
The stipulation was that the best of those not already selected for Finnish Berlin team (that is, Pitkämäki or Järvenpää) would grab a WC ticket if he broke 84m. Wirkkala did just that with his last throw, equalling (!) his recent PB, having until then been very close at 83.95. He has for some reason always been extremely good at Pihtipudas... Mannio continues to be rock-solid with another three 82+ efforts. He's currently favored for the 4th Berlin spot, though his main aim is the U23 Euro gold. Pitkämäki wasn't very convincing but still won. Järvenpää seems to be slowly returning to form after his winter floorball ankle injury.
1. Tero Pitkämäki 86.47
2. Teemu Wirkkala 84.68 =PB
3. Tero Järvenpää 82.65
4. Ari Mannio 82.47
5. Gerbrandt Grobler RSA 80.01 SB
6. Antti Ruuskanen 79.89 SB
7. Jarkko Koski-Vähälä 78.42 SB
http://www.keihaskarnevaalit.com/index. ... 8&Itemid=2
Wirkkala's spot in the team has been made official. Other new inclusions are, on men's side, Evilä and Kruger (?! - well OK he may be out of shape but given his A standard from last year I can't really see him bumped off) and on women's side Grobler, Ingberg and hammer thrower Merja Korpela.
These were the athletes already in:
Quote from November. O-P Karjalainen did reportedly get a healthy winter and spring training but his season opener still wasn't very convincing. Keskisalo seems stronger than ahead of EC '06. Kirwa is unfortunately injured and has been scratched.
Lapua Elite Games were today, and wPV was the definite highlight...
1. Minna Nikkanen FIN 445
2. Tatyana Polnova RUS 445
3. Vanessa Vandy FIN 436
...coming in, our NR was 435 by Nikkanen. Both Nikkanen and Vandy should be going to Berlin.
Ari Mannio won men's javelin with 80.54, his worst mark of the year! Then again, all his other efforts were fouls (including a couple sector fouls). 20-year-old Sandra Eriksson PB'd in the steeplechase with 9.47 and change, just reaching the Berlin B standard, Krisztián Pars (HUN) won mHT with 79.53 (ahead of O-P Karjalainen at a national leader of 77.32), and Gloria Asumnu (USA) won w100m in a SB of 11.15 (+0.2).
That's good news. If I remember correctly, these two ladies are just out of the Junior age groups, so hopefully they will continue to progress and add a bit of spice to the top end of the vaulting realms.
Next comp of the Elite Games series took place at Lappeenranta today. Incredibly, there were actually quite a few international quality athletes present!
Some of the more interesting results:
w100 - 1. Gloria Asumnu USA 11.07w (+2.3), 2. Yuliya Nestsiarenka BLR 11.36w
w200 - 1. Gloria Asumnu USA 22.98 (-1.1)
m800 - 1. Mohammed al-Salhi KSA 1.45.32
mLJ - 1. Khotso Mokoena RSA 824w (814 legal), 2. Tommi Evilä FIN 801
mHT - 1. Krisztián Pars HUN 80.53
mDT - 1. Aleksander Tammert EST 65.17w, 2. Frantz Kruger FIN 64.17w
1. Antti Ruuskanen FIN 80.63
2. Ari Mannio FIN 80.26
3. Harri Haatainen FIN 78.50
4. Sean Furey USA 78.48
5. Esko Mikkola FIN 77.20
6. Andrus Värnik EST 75.90
The first time this year Ruuskanen beat Mannio - notable since one of the two will almost certainly take our 4th Berlin spot, joining Pitkämäki, Järvenpää and Wirkkala. Mannio had his worst meet of the year and appears to have lost his best form. For some reason, Furey usually throws well in Finland...
On the VNLF, Mannio now falls behind Janik.
78.64 SB for O-P Karjalainen yesterday His performances so far this year had been disappointing but now I'm hopeful again. With Pars no longer as dominating as early season (though he did look good at Lappeenranta) nobody really looks unbeatable in this event.
Fourth Elite Games meeting today at Joensuu. Some very good marks, especially in men's javelin which was thrown into a headwind!
1. Teemu Wirkkala 87.23 PB
2. Antti Ruuskanen 85.03 SB
Wirkkala is clearly in career peak form, though he "only" backed the big one up with two of his usual 82s. Ruuskanen as usual only got one good throw in (actually, mostly this year he hasn't got even that!) Nevertheless, he moves up all the way to 9th on the Very Nearly Live Formchart:
1. Andreas Thorkildsen (Norway) =
2. Tero Pitkämäki (Finland) =
3. Vadims Vasilevskis (Latvia) =
4. Teemu Wirkkala (Finland) =
5. Ainars Kovals (Latvia)=
6. Mark Frank (Germany) =
7. Ari Mannio (Finland) =
8. Igor Janik (Poland) =
9. Antti Ruuskanen (Finland) N
10. Oleksandr Pyatnytsya (Ukraine) -1
11. Guillermo Martínez (Cuba) -1
12. Petr Frydrych (Czech Rep) N
1. Kim Deok-Hyeon KOR 817 (+1.7)
2. Tommi Evilä 800
With his last jump Kim certainly proved his victory (and 841w/820) at the University Games was no fluke. Evilä, sadly, doesn't look as good as in '05, or indeed the healthy parts of any of the years between.
1. Jukka Keskisalo 7.49.05 PB
2. Remmy Limo KEN 7.50.78
Another impressive PB for Keskisalo. In the post-race interview he gave the world some really good answers:
Q: Your run was good but how did it feel?
A: Quite painful, but that's the sport of running for you.
Q: Your flat PB is now better than that of steeplechase NR holder Tapio Kantanen, what does that tell us?
A: That you shouldn't compare flat times with steeple times.
1. Lerone Clarke JAM 10.25 (-1.3)

Ha - that is one clever interviewer.
No, that is one clever interviewee
Full results here
I don't know all the places he's been training but they include Columbia (where I believe Virén sometimes trained), Portugal (the preferred spring training location of the Finnish national team), and St. Moritz, Switzerland.
Oh for the life of a world class finish Athlete. Training camp in Columbia, Portugal and St. Moritz.
Last meet of the Elite Games series today at Lapinlahti. Plenty of good results.
1. Tero Pitkämäki 87.79 SB
2. Antti Ruuskanen 81.74
3. Ari Mannio 80.81
Pitkämäki backed the best one up with a 86.92. The battle for our one remaining spot in the Berlin team heats up. Ruuskanen has beaten Mannio in two consecutive comps now. Unless one of them manages to make selectors angry the NC result should decide it.
It's hard to judge the Russians, and Igor Janik has apparently vanished from Earth....?
Anyway, Very Nearly Live Formchart today:
1. Andreas Thorkildsen (Norway) =
2. Tero Pitkämäki (Finland) =
3. Vadims Vasilevskis (Latvia) =
4. Teemu Wirkkala (Finland) =
5. Ainars Kovals (Latvia)=
6. Mark Frank (Germany) =
7. Antti Ruuskanen (Finland) +2
8. Ari Mannio (Finland) -1
9. Igor Janik (Poland) -1
10. Oleksandr Pyatnytsya (Ukraine) =
11. Sergey Makarov (Russia) N
12. Guillermo Martínez (Cuba) -1
1. Jukka Keskisalo 5.00.32 NR
He continues his great form, though I'm a bit worried he might be overracing... A 56-second last lap brought him home 0.19 inside our old NR (Vesa Siivonen '89). Remmy Limo was 2nd again.
1. Krisztián Pars HUN 78.55
2. Yury Shayunou BLR 78.04
3. O-P Karjalainen 76.40
None of the top three impressed. Karjalainen fell backfirst in the circle during his last throw after somehow managing to kick himself in the leg but luckily apparently escaped unhurt.
1. Juha Sonck FIN 13.65
A nice big PB for Sonck, who sadly missed the Berlin B standard by a fraction of a second. Not that he'd get anywhere at the WC - this is surely very close to his peak.
1. Leroy Dixon USA 10.06 (+0.2)
2. Lerone Clarke JAM 10.11
1. Tommi Evilä FIN 795
2. Kim Deok-Hyeon KOR 793
Evilä got his revenge over Kim, but alas the results were weak. Of the two, Kim's still the bigger factor where Berlin is concerned.
1. Sheri-Ann Brooks JAM 11.17 (+0.2)
2. Gloria Asumnu USA 11.23
This event was interesting for two reasons. Firstly Asumnu, who had a chance to win the whole meet series and €30.000 if she ran 10.98 or faster. No luck there (Pars won - is there really bigger money anywhere for a hammer thrower right now? She fell to 3rd behind Nikkanen after not winning.) Secondly Brooks, the winner and one of the athletes implicated in the Jamaican positive tests scandal. She denied everything, including knowing what the substance was or what the whole thing was about. No real surprise there.
1. Minna Nikkanen 446 NR
2. Vanessa Vandy 430
Another NR, and some okay attempts at 451. Unfortunately this still won't cut it at international level...
1. Josanne Lucas TRI 13.02
Yes, that's the 400m hurdler in a second event. Smooth going.
National champs started this morning at Espoo. Nothing very internationally notable today (mJav final's on Sunday of course). Very nearly live results available here: http://live.time4results.com/yu/2009/kalevankisat/
it probably has been mentioned, but i did not see any mention on this thread.
keskikalo ran 8:12.93 in the steeple in monaco on tuesday just missing the national record of finland by 3 tenths of a second.
This was commented on in the Monaco steeple thread: http://mb.trackandfieldnews.com/discuss ... hp?t=36754 By the way, the spelling is Keskisalo, with "k"s and "s"s alternating. (You must also avoid confusing him with the female sprinter Sari Keskitalo.)
Not many highlights during the 1st day. The events were weakish, and average weather (cold, rainy) kept marks down even further.
O-P Karjalainen won mHT with 77.76 but still doesn't look like a Berlin medalist. Admittedly, this event looks very weak right now - sub-80 could well medal, even (unlikely) win. mSP was atrocious, with Tuomo Tihinen winning at 18.47. To think that at turn of millennium we had 7 guys over 20 in a year... Tommi Hartonen, NR holder (10.21) in the 100m (but from as far back as '01) staged an impressive comeback, looking great (well, by Finnish standards, apparent 10.3x shape is great) in the heat. (He already looked excellent at Finnish club relay champs early this month.)

That 400m start list looks atrocious. I should move back to Finland tomorrow.
Well obviously I had to fulfill my destiny of being the fifth-fastest guy in DIII before I could go and do any of that!
Seriously though, I'd be lying if I didn't at times toy with the idea of what a Valtimaki/Heikkala/Hongisto relay with myself in 2005 form might be able to run. 3:05? Who knows. Either way, there's at least two Finnish athletics fans on here, good enough
Only 9 men got the qualification standard of 76.00 in men's javelin. We still have a decent top end, but the depth's not there. Everyone in the Berlin mix got it with at most 2 throws.
Sub-3:40 1500m (PB, and a real rarity in today's Finland) for Keskisalo in his final pre-Berlin race. He's heading back to St. Moritz for a couple weeks now...
Tommi Evilä 8.19, big SB - perhaps I wrote him off too early, though with the current global level of long jumping it should take much more to medal at Berlin.
560 PB for Eemeli Salomäki should secure him our one spot in the pole vault.
Javelin final today. Results were good considering the conditions (rain, slippery mondo). Pitkämäki called it quits after 2 rounds to avoid risking injury. The rest of them went at it in spite of the conditions for all six rounds like madmen, or Finnish males, which is pretty much the same. Wirkkala looks like a Berlin medalist right now with all throws at 83+. Ruuskanen was also more solid than ever and surely deserves the fourth Berlin spot. Järvenpää had an impressive foul in the ~85 range but was shaky apart from that and nearly missed the last three rounds. Looks like we're sending four serious medal candidates to Berlin and leaving a 85.70 guy home!
1 5 Teemu Wirkkala 85,84 84,34 84,95 X 84,71 83,96 85,84
2 4 Antti Ruuskanen 84,64 81,77 84,64 81,45 82,12 81,17 83,55
3 2 Tero Pitkämäki 84,28 84,28 83,41 - - - -
4 6 Ari Mannio 81,54 X 81,54 X X X X
5 7 Jarkko Koski-Vähälä 80,22 75,92 74,67 80,22 77,59 74,94 73,95

9 21 Viljo Toivanen 77,00 66,19 75,31 77,00
Final Berlin team selected (SBs included):
Men -
400mH: Jussi Heikkilä
Hasn't been as strong as last year, and was selected on the strength of a '08 B standard. Advancing from the heats would be a very pleasant surprise.
3000mSC: Jukka Keskisalo
In the form of his life, should make it to the final at least. Could do anything, even win, if the pace is slow enough. A fast final of 8:05 or lower would probably kill his chances though.
High jump: Oskari Frösén
Starting to grow old and hasn't been very consistent this year. Only has a tiny chance of even making the final.
Pole vault: Eemeli Salomäki
Not yet ready to make a big international impact, but he's still young and improving and this will be a valuable experience. Making the final isn't impossible but probably requires a PB in the qualification.
Long jump: Tommi Evilä
After a by his standards mediocre season he finally looked good at the NCs. Even so, I'd be happy with just a spot in the final. Any chance of replicating his medal from '05 hinges on others not performing as well as expected.
Discus: Frantz Kruger
Has been battling huge technical problems the whole year, and didn't even win the national ch'ship, so a top 12 spot would be great.
Hammer: Olli-Pekka Karjalainen
After a reportedly good training winter I expected much more of him this year, but nevertheless he's probably the wild card of our team. With the global level of hammer throwing as weak as it has this year been, if he peaks as neatly as the last three years a medal wouldn't be shocking. Mind you, his going out in the qualification wouldn't be shocking either, since he's never really been a morning session man.
Hammer: David Söderberg
Much less is expected of him. That could be a good thing, since he can only really exceed the expectations. An SB will be required for a spot in the final.
Javelin: Tero Pitkämäki
Defending champ. Has shown good and solid form this year and has many excellent memories of Berlin, including a 2009 Golden League victory. The title defense isn't impossible but appears unlikely.
Javelin: Tero Järvenpää
Something of a question mark, with very few competitions this year after injuries and illnesses. Personally, I'm afraid he could go out in the qualification, since last year's stability isn't there. But if he nails things right anything could happen.
Javelin: Teemu Wirkkala
The upcoming in-form guy, looked super-solid at NCs. With two consecutive comps at 85 plus he seems to have quickly risen to the status of a medal favorite.
Javelin: Antti Ruuskanen
First big meet after two consecutive years as the first man out, it remains to be seen how well he can adjust to the World Champs atmosphere. If that just turns out to give him extra energy even gold isn't out of the question.
50km walk: Jarkko Kinnunen
His current form is hard to assess, something which due to the low competing rate applies to almost any walker. A top ten finish is hoped for but probably depends on what others do.
Women -
3000mSC: Sandra Eriksson
Only narrowly got the B standard, she's certainly expected to go out in the heats. Her best years are hopefully still to come.
High jump: Hanna Grobler
A return to form after years of injury woes. A spot in the finals is the aim but will require a near-SB performance at least.
Pole vault: Minna Nikkanen
Has broken the national record many times this year but looked very vulnerable today. Not expected to make the final.
Pole vault: Vanessa Vandy
Exactly the same applies, except that she's only broken the NR once this year.
Hammer: Merja Korpela
She looked very good early this year - if she can recapture that form, making the cut isn't out of the question. More probably not.
Javelin: Mikaela Ingberg
An excellent major meet competitor, this quality will have to be shown again for her to make the final. She's very much at the edge - making the final would be a pleasant surprise, not making it a clear disappointment.
A couple injury notes.
Vandy's knee is a problem, explaining why she had one of her worst meets this year. She might miss Berlin.
More notably, Pitkämäki didn't skip those four throws entirely voluntarily but to avoid turning a minor injury into a major injury. He apparently hurt his leg a bit in the second throw. As things look now, this appears minor enough to be entirely healed by Berlin. But his coach admitted to being worried.
By the way, Thorkildsen 88.55 at Norwegian NCs...
Do you know what Heli Raatanen is up to these days?
Long story but she came and trained in my city (we got an email from her out of the blue in 2001) . I arranged everything for her. Unfortunately she reinjured her elbow while here and had to fly back to Finland for surgery. We lost track of her after that.
I know she was coaching-is she still doing that?
She's quit sports in all forms other than simply following and works in the marketing department of some random firm, I think.
Reportedly this has healed faster than expected and Pitkämäki should be pretty much 100% at WC
Re: Finnish news
Mannio and Wirkkala opened their seasons in Dessau today, with 82.00 and 80.01 respectively (Vasilevskis 2nd with 81.20). Pitkämäki will open in Florø tomorrow (against Thorkildsen, Makarov and a couple of our younger guys). Ruuskanen will open in Oslo Diamond League...

Re: Finnish news
How about Valimaki, Heikkala, Hongisto..? Any promising sprinters coming up?
Re: Finnish news
We have one promising sprinter in both boys and girls (Jani Koskela, 17, 48.93 and Ella Räsänen, 16, 53.94). That's pretty much all as far as the hope department is concerned. The Finnish outdoor season hasn't really started yet, so there's not much to report on anybody.
Re: Finnish news
Results from Florø (that's in Norway, but any mJT comp qualifies as Finnish news):
1. Andreas Thorkildsen NOR 90.37 WL
2. Tero Pitkämäki FIN 84.34
3. Mikko Kankaanpää FIN 83.33 PB
4. Sergey Makarov RUS 81.15 SB
"Nice tailwind" apparently.
Re: Finnish news
Pull some strings and have the young sprinters enroll at Carnegie Mellon in Pittsburgh, it's my plan to create a Finnish 400m pipeline..
But the time being, I suppose we'll just have to be content with the Javelin until Evila and Heikkala open.
Re: Finnish news
Yes, nice, steady tailwind and sunshine. Perfect conditions.
Thorkildsen had this series, 87.20, 90.37, 86.25,f, 84.03,85.94.
He felt much better than in Shanghai. Still has some small technical details to work on.
However, nothing much worked for Pitkamaki. Problems with his run-up + could not find the right rhyhm. But over 84m in his first meet of the season.
Should be excellent on Bislett on Friday, with the Czechs against Thorkildsen and Pitkamaki!
Re: Finnish news (Thorkildsen 90.37 WL)
Tommi Evilä jumped 822 (+2.0) at Bad Langensalza today to place 2nd behind Saladino (830/+0.9) and ahead of Reif (821/+0.2). That does equal his own NR, but it's also a +2.0 at Bad Langensalza, so it remains to be seen if it actually means anything.

Everyone loves Canadians; it's Canada they hate
Everyone loves Canadians; it's Canada they hate
After 6-minute press conference: no wonder
Canada has, in certain circles, been getting a lot of respect hereabouts. UNFCCC Executive Secretary Yvo de Boer was quoted this week praising Canada for working "very constructively" during the talks and a Danish negotiator (to remain nameless) was positively fullsome on the level of ambition and quality of the contribution that individual Canadians have been making to the process.
Yet Canada is consistently derided by Environmental NGO's monitoring the talks and it is a clear leader in the Fossil of the Day awards given to the country most guilty of obstructing the likelihood of a fair, ambitious and binding agreement.
A hint as to the reason for this apparent contradiction arrived today in the form of Canadian Environment Minister Jim Prentice. In a late-in-the-day press briefing COP 15 President Connie Hedegaard celebrated the early arrival of ministers from around the world, saying that, as the ministers arrive, so does the good will. Prentice may mark the exception.In a first press briefing of his own, he took three questions over an elapsed time period that might actually have been slightly more than six minutes. He reiterated the claim that Canada was working "in a constructive way." He said the new texts that had been produced in the last few days offered "a useful basis to move forward." And he said (in more, and slightly less specific words) that he had no intention of discussing exemptions for Northern Canadians now, or outside Canada. Then he left.
Canada's position is problematic. All the world, save the United States, wants to renew and reinforce the Kyoto Protocol. Canada, which has blown disastrously past its Kyoto commitment level, is desperate to abandon it. Push will come to shove in the next six days and Canadians - whose reputation is currently being improved by a legion of professionial negotiators - could soon be personified by its Environment Minister and by Prime Minister Stephen Harper. If today's demonstration is an example of what is to come, that won't be pretty.

Yes, as I Canadian, this is very embarrassing. We seem to be doing all we can to wreck Copenhagen. Several of our provincial premiers have attended because they are so disgusted at Ottawa and might negotiate independant agreements. I can only hope this puts pressure on the federal government to do something.
Well, they shouldn't have to worry about revenue. If they lose the tar sands revenue and require some transfer payments, as an Ontarian, I'm fine with that. They should get as much money from the federal government as any other province would in similar circumstances.
No one wants Albertans to starve or anything, but the tar sands have to go.
There is no reasons for the tar sands to go as they are only 5-10% more CO2 emitting then conventional oil. Especially considering how Canadians have pitched in billions bailing out the automakers in Ontario so that Ontario can continue building gas guzzling Camaros and the like.
Paul, the tar sands release several times more emissions, at least. They require tons of energy to process the tar, and tons of water is used as well. This also produces a lot of pollution that is poisoning some native populations. It's not just a few percent. That doesn't even include all the deforestation, which is, of course, removing a natural carbon sink. I would agree, though, once the tar sands are gone, we should conserve and reduce our consumption of conventional oil as well.
I completely agree with your comment about bailing out the autoworkers, we should not have done it, and shouldn't do it again. However, there's a way we can help the autoworkers and the environment at the same time. Build more rail (especially electrified rail), retrain the autoworkers to build train cars, and reuse idle factories for this purpose. This can create a lot of jobs, and get passengers and cargo onto trains instead of cars and trucks, which is several times more efficient.
Rhetoric notwithstanding, no, the tar sands are not terribly polluting. Only 5-10% more emissions then from the production of regular crude. As for the "poisoning" of native populations, medical experts have debunked that spurious claim.
Considering all provinces are increasing their CO2 emissions year after year, it is hypocritical to ask only one to suffer.
This is a ridiculous claim. See here:
The tar sands, by themselves, produce more emissions than the total emissions of 145 *countries*. Your claim about 5 or 10 percent is nonsensical, this is orders of magnitude larger than conventional oil.
Again, I don't want to see Alberta suffer, I'm perfectly happy for them to receive federal equalization payments, just like every other province. We don't let poorer provinces suffer in this country (at least we're not supposed to.) We're one country, and everyone should get an equal share. It's just happenstance that resources happen to be in one place rather than another, and the benefit (or cost) should be accrued to all Canadians.
Right or Wrong, shutting down the tarsands doesn't look like it's a near term thing. We are gearing up for expansion, building a pipeline and providing the most energy dependent nation in the world a source of energy that they will not be able to replace.
Instead of shutting down the project, which would be very difficult, reduce demand. Let the world tell Alberta "No thanks we don't need your oil" Let the Americans and the world significantly reduce their use of petroleum voluntarily.
- Bet they won't.
Market demand really is the only thing you need to reduce emissions. If people are serious they will stop looking for draconian government intervention in our lives and stop polluting at home. That is the funny thing about AGW, it has no financial currency to it. Oil sands production is ramping up to meet demand. Oil, coal and natural gas futures contract all have positive values indicating rising future demand, Insurance companies are still issuing 40 year mortgage insurance to coastal cities, the carbon credit market in chicago sells carbon credits for less than 10 cents.
Everyone that is anyone knows the AGW theory is smoke and mirrors comprised of junk science. It's just a question of wether the politics of AGW will push it past the finish line. Right now it looks like the real money is lined up behind the theory dying off.
A report by an extremist environmental group? Thanks, but I'll pass on that one.
The tar sands count for 0.1% of global CO2 emissions. And 5% of Canada's emissions. Since the rest of Canada's emissions are going up every year, there is no reason to single out the tar sands.
Let's see Ontario or BC actually reduce their CO2 emissions and then Alberta will do their share too.
"As for the "poisoning" of native populations, medical experts have debunked that spurious claim."
What? Are you a representative of the Government of Alberta or something? Haven't you seen the numerous articles like the following?
Stop your lying ways, Paul. It doesn't do yourself any good.
There is no poisoning of natives. That story is bunk and perpetrated by eco-extremists and agitators. No credible medical experts support the fairy tale. The doctor who made the bogus claims was reprimanded because his conduct was so unprofessional.
False. This Edmonton blog quotes a letter by Andrew Nikiforuk:
"...Health Canada officials now claim that O´Connor grossly exaggerated the truth about "cancer and other diseases in Fort Chipewyan." In particular they allege that Dr. O´Connor told the media that he found as many as six possible cases of cholangiocarcinoma, (a nasty rare bile duct cancer) when in fact a 2009 Alberta Cancer Study reported only two cases.
This charge is false...
....Of six suspected cases identified by Dr. O´Connor, the Alberta Cancer Board confirmed two cases of cholangiocarinoma; three that were closely related biliary duct cancers; and one that was not cancer. Two of the biliary duct cancers (bile duct adenocarinoma and adenocarcinoma of Ampulla of Vater) are often recognized as cholangiocarinoma by medical authorities. In total the Board confirmed that five out of six bile duct cancers were indeed bile duct cancers..."
It should be obvious to all that the fraud at CRU puts the entire AGW theory into the toilet. It will take years to reconstruct a valid temperature record, if ever.
Copenhagen is a giant UN/EU socialist dream to skim off $$$ and enrich themselves. It is a modern version of the rights of clergy and nobility to extract sums from the peasants.
Obama is at least going to require the $$$ to go through the world bank, ie, business as usual, with accountability and no UN fat cats in the middle.
John Travolta will get into his private Boeing 707 and head off to wherever, secure in his feeling that he has "done something" for the downtrodden. yah, right.. but at least it is his own money, and not cherity money that could otherwise go to provide water supplies in Africa.
What fraud Ed_B? Give us the details.
from American Thinker:
Marc Sheppard discovered and showed us this bit of programming taken from the CRU documents:
valadj=[0.,0.,0.,0.,0.,-0.1,-0.25,-0.3,0.,-0.1,0.3,0.8,1.2,1.7,2.5,2.6,2.6,2.6,2.6,2.6]*0.75 ; fudge factor
The long string of bold numbers in the second set of brackets is the "fudge factor" applied (supposedly) to the raw data [iii]. This string of numbers "adjusts" the raw data from 1904 to 1994 in five-year increments. Here is what these nineteen numbers roughly look like on a simple graph (each bar below represents a number in bold above):
I have left a space between the bars that represent each number so the reader can compare the temperature line to the numbers from the program. Time is once again indicated by the x-axis (horizontal). Temperature is portrayed on the y-axis (vertical).
The numbers in the code indicate a degree of cheating that is actually much larger than I was able to show with the bars in Graph 3 [iv].
We can now prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the hockey stick is an absolute ruse. The hockey stick graph cannot possibly be based on the actual data. (...Wherever and whatever that data might have been, that is. The CRU has admitted destroying the raw data.)
Now other arguments about fraud have been shown to be based on often deliberate neglect of the context of 'suspect' statements, the denialist bloggers have withdrawn to the computercode, speculating that most of us know too little about computer language to really perceive what is going on. Of course most of the time these bloggers haven't got a clue as to what is really said there (I suspect that Ed_B is among them) but it is enough for them if their source puts up a lot of computer hocus pocus and then concludes to fraud.
Well, here is a rebuttal by Tim Lambert at Deltoid of a similar attempt to use the computercode in this fashion by a certain Raymond. Lambert is of course a computer scientist. It is a longish piece but it is worth quoting:
"David Kane asks me to look at two of the strongest arguments made by the "other side" following the break in and theft of data from CRU. OK, once he sees how weak the strongest arguments are, we can all agree that the affair is a beat up.
Today I'll look at Eric Raymond's alleged "siege cannon with the barrel still hot":
From the CRU code file osborn-tree6/briffasep98d.pro , used to prepare a graph purported to be of Northern Hemisphere temperatures and reconstructions.
; Apply a VERY ARTIFICAL correction for decline!!
valadj=[0.,0.,0.,0.,0.,-0.1,-0.25,-0.3,0.,- 0.1,0.3,0.8,1.2,1.7,2.5,2.6,2.6,$
2.6,2.6,2.6]*0.75 ; fudge factor
if n_elements(yrloc) ne n_elements(valadj) then message,'Oooops!'
Raymond says: "This, people, is blatant data-cooking, with no pretense otherwise. It flattens a period of warm temperatures in the 1930s -- see those negative coefficients? Then, later on, it applies a positive multiplier so you get a nice dramatic hockey stick at the end of the century."
But what is the code directly following the fragment Raymond quotes? Look:
IDL uses a semi-colon to indicate a comment, so the only code to use yearlyadj has been commented out. Raymond must have known this since he is an Emacs user and Emacs colour codes the comments. This doesn't seem to be a smoking gun so much as a gun that hasn't been fired.
Furthermore, another piece of commented out code shows how the adjusted values were used: they were clearly labelled as "MXD corrected" and plotted along with the uncorrected values. They were not shown as temperature values despite what Raymond says.
;legend,['Northern Hemisphere April-September instrumental temperature',$
; 'Northern Hemisphere MXD',$
; 'Northern Hemisphere MXD corrected for decline'],$
In the comments to Raymond's post, others pointed this out to him
As other have repeatedly pointed out, that code was written to be used for some kind of presentation that was false. The fact that the deceptive parts are commented out now does not change that at all.
In fact, it was labelled as "corrected for decline", so it was not false or deceptive.
Raymond continues:
"It might get them off the hook if we knew -- for certain -- that it had never been shown to anyone who didn't know beforehand how the data was cooked and why. But since these people have conveniently lost or destroyed primary datasets and evaded FOIA requests, they don't deserve the benefit of that doubt. We already know there's a pattern of evasion and probable cause for criminal conspiracy charges from their own words."
In fact, they did not destroy primary datasets, and they did not have permission to redistribute the data requested using the FOIA.
Raymond has made no attempt to find out if the graph was actually used anywhere. The file name was osborn-tree6/briffa_sep98_d.pro, so we should look for a paper with authors, Briffa and Osborn published in 1998 and sure enough there's Briffa, Schweingruber, Jones, Osborn, Harris, Shiyatov, Vaganov and Grudd "Trees tell of past climates: but are they speaking less clearly today?" Phil. Trans. R. Soc. Lond. B 1998:
They say:
In §4, we referred to a notable correspondence between 'hemispheric' MXD series (averaged over all sites) and an equivalent 'hemispheric' instrumental temperature series. Despite their having 50% common variance measured over the last century, it is apparent that in recent decades the MXD series shows a decline, whereas we know that summer temperatures over the same area increased. Closer examination reveals that while year-to-year (i.e. mutually ten-year high-pass filtered) correlations are consistently high between tree-growth and temperature (ca. 0.7 for 1881-1981), the correlations based on decadally smoothed data fall from 0.89, when calculated over the period 1881-1960, to 0.64 when the comparison period is extended to 1881-1981. This is illustrated in figure 6, which shows that decadal trends in both large-scale- average TRW and MXD increasingly diverge from the course of decadal temperature variation after about 1950 or 1960.
And figure 6 is basically the graph plotted by the code above and it does not include the "corrected MXD" data:
(Sorry, can't reproduce the graph here - AB)
The same code appears elsewhere in the leaked data files, WITHOUT the semicolons.
In any case, the existance of the semicolons prove nothing. It is like a safety on a revolver. The alarmists simply switch it off to do its dirty business.
It is only one peice of damming code btw.. there is much much more. Honest scientists don't apply FUDGE FACTORS now do they?
You are like the SEC when told in detail about Bernie Madoff... nope, nothing to see here, move along...
Part of the fraud concocted by the Swifthackers is that they, often deliberately, interpreted terms that, within context, were quite innocuous, in the most unfavorable manner possible ("trick" "hide the decline" etc.) Apparently the same game is being played now with the term "fudge factor". I understand that it is a neutral technical term in computerese that is now being used as "evidence" of deliberate fraud. Here is one post by a commenter called Dhogaza that provides some background:
"People trying to understand data tweak its processing all of the time. It's perfectly normal behavior when you're asking "what if?" scenarios. Someone proposes a corrective factor, presumably based on some plausible snippet of knowledge, applies it to the data to see how that changes things, etc.
I've been involved for years with monitoring raptor migration at various sights in the semi-arid western United States. Some people were using our hourly reports to try to figure out how local geography affected the daily pattern of migration at two sites about 200 or 300 miles apart, east-west (migrating hawks roost at night, how far north from a site they roost impacts how early in the day they start showing up at a given site).
They couldn't get the times to jive with the distances, so finally I asked, "did you correct the times for the site positions within the timezone?". Local sun time was something like 30 or 45 minutes different.
Now, I'm not sure what the little program they wrote looked like for certain, but if Eric Raymond were to see a line saying "fudge site A times by 30 minutes" I'm sure he'd scream "FRAUD! FRAUD! FRAUD!".
I don't doubt it for a moment.
These people aren't interested in investigating why a researcher might be trying out various ideas on the data, in their minds, if they have a program showing adjustments then IT IS ALL A COMMIE PLOT!
It's really insane, people."
"Fudge factors are invented variables whose purpose is to force a calculated result to give a better match to what happens in the real world.
Fudge factors are usually calculated retrospectively, and when a calculation has only managed to produce a good match to real data by the addition of a variable that seems artificially tailored to allow that result (to allow the calculations to be "fudged" to give the right answer), critics may sometimes refer to the variable in an uncomplimentary way as a "fudge factor"." (Wikipedia)
So to give a better match to the data about the REAL WORLD, Ed_B - not the imagined world deniers want to pass off on us.
I had one year of calculus and one year of physics in college... and remember that math/science types use 'trick' to describe a method of solving a problem or a proof. In fact, they used it all the time and were especially proud to use it when their method was more elegant or simple than the standard method.
Climate change deniers operate at a level of intellectual discourse where anything that takes more than 10 seconds to understand is dismissed out of hand.
well there is that thing about intellectual discourse being limited to 10 second explanations. I guess that could be laziness or perhaps attention deficit. I believe that in his heart of hearts, he is saying that he is reasonably smart and by contrast, those on the opposite side are missing that mark. They are dumb. That continues to be my interpretation.
McIntyre's latest misrepresentation (dated 12/10) is debunked thoroughly on DeepClimate:
I can understand being caught up in the religious ferver of the global warming movement but why not throw the shady characters under the bus and move on? It's quite clear to everyone now that Jones and Mann will not be practising scientists. They didn't step down becuase they are innocent. This is a nice gradual method to eliminate them.
The evidence is extremely daming and puts a lot of research into question. Mccyntire had a great expose yesterday on his blog, combined with the spghetti computer code these guys are toast.
No temperature records, no peer review process, no credibility, no warming. The theory will be dragged down with these guys.
Yes the guy running up to the bank teller with a loaded 45 is just there to show off his new pistol. No he's not there to rob the place he's just proud of his new firearm. LOL
The computer code is one of the many smoking guns here, all the talking AGW heads avoid this topic like the plague. Is it plausible that the computer code that artificially increases temperature data is labeled fudge factor is simply a mechanism to test the computer program? Yes but it is about as likely as my previous anology of the guy running into the bank with a 45.
All computer code batches used for testing are labeled fudge factor instead of something like TEST. The accompanying programmer notes explaining how the programming will artificially increase temperature data are just there too fool deniers.
Jones and Mann are eerily silent about the code, I guess they are just too busy planning their new careers right now.
The entire PR machine of AGW just figured it was best left to the Arie brands to fight this one and don't say a word about it.
All the e-mails put the computer code in perfect context of scientists not acting not like scientists but activists is just a coincidence I suppose.
The debunked hockey stick graph was just a coincidence too?
Where is the computer programmer to coroborate Aries story?
Why is the CRU trying to pressure scientists into signing a petition instead of giving explanations?
Did Mann and Jones just step down because they needed a break? How often do you see people that step down get their old job back? How about Never.
In life elaborate confusing stories are jsut like they seem elaborate and the intent is to confuse the facts. The most likely explanation is usually the correct one. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out that something is rotten in the state of denmark!
(Wow, what a great denoument!)
CamMackay you are getting more and more parsimonious with the truth.
Now you brazenly lie even when there is evidence to the contrary in the same thread.
"The computer code is one of the many smoking guns here, all the talking AGW heads avoid this topic like the plague."
Tim Lamberts demolition of Raymond was reproduced above. His post attracted 336 comments, the great majority being from the "talking AGW heads". You better have a look there and to quote a famous Australian PM's admonition to the opposition: "Shut up and listen, you might learn something."
The very idea that Harper can blatantly promote tar sands oil to the Chinese and then claim to be working "constructively" to stop climate change with his pitiful targets is a humiliation and an international disgrace. I want an "I didn't vote for this government" T-shirt!
The obvious conclusion...tyranical, greedy and cruel governments in third world countries have, for decades, oppressed their populations and stolen the land's wealth....now of course, because the developed world has prospered....has heat and electricity we have to compensate them.
Perfectly sensible in Copenhagen I suppose.

Track and Field Program to See Change in Leadership
Courtesy: CMU Athletic Communications
Release: 06/12/2013
"I review every program annually and after recently evaluating the track and field/cross country program, as well as Coach Randolph's four years at CMU, I have determined that the program is in need of a change at the top," Heeke said. "The complex issues that surround a combined program require strong leadership and direction, and I felt those were missing. I thank Coach Randolph for his service to this program and wish him the best moving forward."
Associate head coach Matt Kaczor will manage the program while an immediate national search occurs for Randolph's replacement. All assistant coaches will remain on staff during the search.

Known as the science of humanity, anthropology combines humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences to the study of the human race. This includes human origins, biological variations, languages, social norms, and institutions. Understandably a broad field of study, anthropology is separated into various subfields, including physical, social, linguistic, and even more specialized ones such as medical.
Each of these subfields focus on a different aspect of the study of humanity. For example, physical anthropology is the scientific study of humans in regard to adaption, variability, and evolution, while sociology anthropology examines society through sociology taking a closer look at how societies are developed and organized. Linguistic anthropology takes an in-depth look at languages to see how different ones evolved and are related. A more specialized area, medical anthropology examines health, illness, and health care through anthropological concepts, such as different cultures' views on diseases, treatment, and prevention.
One of the more commonly known subfields, cultural anthropology examines cultures around the world and how culture relates to social interactions. A major in cultural anthropology will give students the opportunity to learn about different worldviews as they explore human diversity, ethnicities, societies, and, of course, cultures. A strong understanding of anthropological theories, concepts, and fieldwork methods are developed along with analytical and assessment skills. Cultural anthropology curriculum consists of courses like philosophy of human nature, human evolutionary process, western civilization, anthropological research methods, language in culture, and comparative social organizations. The skill set and cultural understanding that students graduate with prepares them for a variety of career paths, including those in community organization, civil service, consulting, education, social work, and public policy.

When a company is processing a customer order, claim, loan, contract, audit, or benefit, exceptions happen. How companies deal with those exceptions can mean the difference between a happy customer or employee or one that walks away – and tells other friends and business associates about their negative experience. In fact, with the speed and reach of social media, it is imperative that all exceptions are escalated and resolved as quickly and as simply as possible. Putting the process into the end users' hands via an automated case management solution such as IBM Software's Advanced Case Management (ACM) can help companies not only improve customer service but gain other benefits such as increased sales, reducing customer churn, and a reduction of fraud.
However, adopting a formal, automated approach takes real change – both on the business side as well as in IT. However, once it is implemented in conjunction with proven best practices, organizations are equipped to handle practically any case management scenario in nearly any domain. Learn more about how IBM's ACM solution can help your organization.

Explore Undiscovered Food, Fashion & Fun.
Any reality TV junkie knows that the test of a good chef is what he can create using only ingredients from a convenience store. (Krispy Kreme bread pudding, anyone?)
With that in mind, we asked the chefs at Chuko, the new ramen restaurant opening tonight in Prospect Heights, to show us what they could do with the 99-cent version you ate in college. We also threw in a Pathmark-prepared rotisserie chicken for fun.
Once you watch (and make it for yourself in the five minutes immediately afterward), imagine what the Morimoto-trained chef/owners — Jamison Blankenship, James Sato, and David Koon — do with real ramen on their small but perfect menu.
Then dream about the gyoza with ponzu dipping sauce, fried green tomato buns with pickled onion and tofu dressing, and homemade ice cream sandwiches.
They win the challenge.

Neat and easy to use: the electrically retractable towing bracket can be swivelled in and out under its own power by simply pressing a rocker switch in the luggage compartment.
Convenient and safe whatever the load: just press the rocker switch in the luggage compartment and the swivelling mechanism turns the ball joint attachment out and in again. When the trailer is hitched and locked, the indicator light in the rocker switch shows that the trailer has been successfully secured. Then you can set off. Moreover, no matter what you are transporting – a horse, a boat or a motorcycle – the trailer stabilisation system makes driving with a trailer easier. Using the sensors of the electronic stability programme (ESP), it counters oscillations of the trailer, which may be built up by a lane-change manoeuvre, ruts and grooves in the road surface or crosswind. With automatic applications of the brakes, the system decelerates the trailer, thus helping to stabilise it.

NEW! - Issue 53:1
Leading off this issue are three articles from a conference on Enoch and the temple that was cosponsored by BYU Studies in February 2013 at Utah State University and BYU
Recent Most Popular Journal - Issue 46:1
Through his personal interest in World War I, George S. Tate finds deeper meaning of D&C Section 138. Remembering the circumstances of 1918—the war, pandemic flu, and Joseph F. Smith's loss of a son—makes the assurance of divine love and ultimate redemption found in D&C 138 more poignant.
Gathering as One: The History of the Mormon Tabernacle in Salt Lake City
Discover the history of the beloved Salt Lake Tabernacle in this new book from BYU Press. Like no other book before it, this beautiful volume tells the story of this striking building through hundreds of photographs. Learn how the Kirtland and Nauvoo Temples were predecessors for the Tabernacle and that, in Utah, Brigham Young wanted to separate the functions of the temple and the meeting hall.
Sustaining the Law: Joseph Smith's Legal Encounters
Joseph Smith believed in sustaining the law. This book presents his main legal encounters in the context of his day. Party to more than two hundred suits in the courts of New York, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, and elsewhere, he faced criminal charges as well as civil claims and collection matters. In the end, he was never convicted of any crime, and he paid his debts.
Joseph Smith
See our collection of articles and books on Joseph Smith. Additionally, see our website which maps the chronology of Joseph Smith's life.

Joseph Smith Chronology
This chronology introduces readers to the energetic pace and broad scope of concerns that characterized the daily life of the Prophet Joseph Smith. It lists events that can be tied to specific days or weeks. Each event is briefly summarized in this chronology.
LDSFAQ is a website with over 400 questions about history, doctrine, and beliefs of the LDS church. Concise answers will be provided in a few paragraphs. All answers are supported with references and related questions are linked to one other.
Since the subject of the 1826 trial of Joseph Smith has been extensively reported and commented upon, one quite rightly wonders what else is new or old to be said about that blip in Mormon history. However, none of the reports and few of the commentaries have tried to put the trial in the legal context of that day and examined the applicable statutory, procedural, and case law in force in New York in 1826. This essay will attempt to do just that and then reexamine the conclusions drawn by earlier writers.

Enjoy a Classy Ride Your Way with the Ladies Olympia Bike A Huffy 26 Inch Ladies Olympia Bike is an essential choice for cyclists ...who want the choice of pushing themselves physically or slowing down to smell the roses. The most important features of a cruiser bicycle are those that allow a comfortable posture and longer ride. When it comes to speed, however, you want a forward posture and the ability to lean into the road. If you're looking for an all-around best choice for slight hills and paved surfaces, the Olympia bike is a great choice. A closer look at the features of the Ladies Olympia Bike shows why it can perform well for speed and comfort. A large wheel diameter is the first step toward more efficient pedaling and reduced fatigue. The seat provide shock protection, and straight handles are essential for speed.
