Finland is an expensive country, but if you love nature and hiking, you can reduce your costs very easily. I will show you what are your options where to stay for free for a night or two.
Everyman's right & Camping
First of all, good to know that in most Nordic countries, also in Finland, you have a right to access land, water, and resources. You can pick mushrooms and berries, but for fishing, you need a permit in many places (exception is ice-fishing in winter).
It also means that you can pitch your tent basically anywhere. Just respect other people's houses and then you will be fine.
Shelters in Finland
Throughout the country, there are thousands (3000+) of shelters which you can use for free. They are mainly located in national parks, nature protection or hiking areas (browse here too), but you can find the simple ones even close or inside cities. The shelters differ in look, quality and comfort level. While the simplest ones only have a fireplace and probably no walls at all, other have small benches, and the best ones are regular houses with mattresses and all kitchen equipment. Let's have a look on them.
This is not really a shelter, but they are everywhere. Lot of them have provided firewood, so you can have a campfire night with your friends or make a coffee or food while you are hiking. Often there are few benches or tables around. You can find them even in cities. In Joensuu, you probably already met with them on Utra island, but there are even nicer ones near Kontiolahti.
Lean-to shelter (laavu)
The simplest shelter. Fireplace, few benches or whole sleeping areas and the roof. It has usually 3 walls and from one side it is open. Even though they have walls, not all of them have floor. Double lean-to shelters can also be found. imagine two of the lean-to shelters turned to face each other. There is the fireplace in the middle and they give a pretty nice and closed structure.
In Pärnävaara you can find several of lean-to shelters. The firewood supply is sometimes quite low, but I'm sure you can find one nearby with enough food for a barbecue.
- it is flat so quite comfortable to sleep
- many people can fit
- protects quite well from the rain
- it does not really matter if you make fire or not, you will not get too much warmth while sleeping
- mosquitoes can attack you easily
Lapp hut (kota)
A polygonal shelter and a more closed structure (in most cases), having a fireplace in the middle. There are benches around. Only open on the top and probably a bit on the sides where it touches the ground – that's where the air to the fire can come in. They may have a door, may not. For example, in the above mentioned Pärnävaara you can find them as well. Great place to spend the evening there.
- warmer than lean-tos (you can make fire in the middle)
- less mosquitoes
- the benches are usually quite narrow. For me as a smaller girl it is not a problem, but taller people may have to do some tricks to fit.
- mosquitoes can fly in
Day trip hut (päivätupa)
A house. A cottage. It has walls, door(s), roof. Benches, tables and a stove inside. Sometimes you can find kettle as well. Perfect place to warm up and have a hot coffee or tea on a cold, wet day.
Open wilderness hut (autiotupa)
A day trip hut with beds, so perfect for overnight stay. Usually they have two levels of wooden boards near the wallks. Sometimes even bunk beds or mattresses can surprise you. Kitchen equipment with pots, pans, utensils, table, chairs, etc. Stoves or gas stoves are also common. Everything you need and even some more!
These cottages are usually in the national parks of Lapland, but few can be found more south as well. Our favorites are in Hattuvaara, near Ilomantsi and close to the Russian border. Those are the best open wilderness huts in North Karelia!
- closed from all sides and top
- warm/you can heat
- well-equipped
- bigger chance that you have to share with other people
Sauna buildings are not so common, but you can find them in many national parks, especially in Lapland. Some of them are rentable, other you have to pay a small fee to use, very few of them are free.
My very first "national park sauna" experience was in Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park. The sauna was just next door to the open wilderness hut, and of course besides a cute small lake. The firewood is provided to heat it up, you just need to send a text message from the nearest hill (where the reception is good) to pay for your visit.
+1 Places where you don't really sleep:
Look-out tower (näköalatorni), bird watching tower (lintutorni)
You will find plenty of them. If it is near a lake or on the mire, very likely they will be called bird watching towers. Often a book (diary) is there to list what species of birds you have seen during your visit.
In Joensuu you should visit the one in Noljakka, you can see a lot of birds on Lake Pyhäselkä. For look-out tower I can recommend Koli and Ryläys tower.
Do you need more inspiration before you go for a camping trip? Check out our other posts about places in Finland we have visited during the last years! Feel free to ask us if you have any questions or you need advice! 🙂
Do you prefer a paid accommodation?

Museum undergoes changes
About $50,000 has been invested into the Pioneer Machinery Building at the local museum in an effort to transform the exhibit into a storyline.
The Dickinson Museum Center received a $20,000 grant from the state's historical society, which was matched by the Stark County Historical Society, to install insulation, sheetrock, lights and fans. The building will have heating and air conditioning so that the building and exhibit can be used year-round, said Tyler Schoch, the president of the Stark County Historical Society. The renovation will also help the museum preserve the artifacts in an area with consistent temperature and humidity, which is better for aged objects.
"I think it will be better because it will be more temperature-controlled, so it will be better during the summer, and, if we are able to show it, during the fall at least," said Jessica Stratton, the education coordinator at the museum. "... It would be nice to show it for a longer period of time if possible."
The museum is also looking to revamp the exhibit so it tells more of a story rather than serving as a collection of labeled artifacts, Schoch said. It will be renamed the Pioneer Exhibit Hall.
"Right now the museum is undergoing a lot of changes, and we're trying to make this all make sense as far as from an interpretation standpoint," he said. "So that's what we're really focused on because traditionally this museum has been a lot of artifacts and a lot of, 'Well, here's a nameplate that tells you what it is.' We want to tell you who used it, why they used it, where they used it and how they used it instead of, 'This is a 1924 tractor.'"
He hopes the exhibit will have audio and visual equipment as well to show the visitors how the pioneers used the equipment years ago. Their goal is to help people understand what the pioneers went through when they moved to North Dakota with so little and faced adversity in the harsh climate, he said. For example, some settlers converted old rail cars into their homes — and the exhibit features one.
"It shows the struggles of the people who came here, and it can let you really connect with them, I guess," Schoch said. "It can let you kind of feel how hard it was to come out here and dig sod for the whole summer and build a house and try to get a crop in. ... And you had to figure out how to make it. There wasn't cell phones, there wasn't 9-1-1, there wasn't anything. It was the true quintessential American story, and we're telling a little piece here."
The exhibit will have a soft opening this summer but will not be entirely finished until 2018, he said. The museum will work to arrange and organize the exhibit in the meantime.
One perk of having a permanent, year-round display is the appeal to local schools, said Alison Hinman, the museum's collection manager. The museum can work with the schools to develop a program that incorporates their curriculum and lesson plans. This way teachers know what their students will see when they visit and can better justify the expenditure for the field trip, she said.
The museum is also working on a permanent exhibit showcasing Dickinson throughout the centuries, which will feature artifacts from different decades and be completed before summer. Hinman said she hopes this exhibit will pair well with the Pioneer Exhibit Hall too.
She noted that these exhibits—though they will remain in the museum for an extended time—change constantly as the museum receives donated artifacts.
"Museums are not those stale, dirty old places you used to see anymore," she said. "They are quite active and do remarkably a lot for very little money."
Choosing exhibits can be difficult because of the two different groups of people who visit the museum — the locals and the visitors, she said. Community members are usually more familiar with the area and may want additional details in an exhibit while visitors stopping in from the interstate may be less interested in a depth of information.
Ultimately, the museum is seeing several changes with a new director and the city's acquisition of the dinosaur museum, Schoch said. The pioneer exhibit has also not been updated in 20 to 30 years, so they are taking advantage of the opportunity to put a fresh spin on the display.
"Our job is to preserve history and make it accessible to the public, so that's part of why we're doing this building too," he said. "We want this to be accessible. We want it to be a piece that everyone can be proud of."

Puffing out his chest and taking in a big breath, Jerry Cahill set off on his run up, dug his pole firmly into the ground and vaulted over the bar. A clear round. Another vault over more than 4.5m.
Not bad for a 60-year-old.
Pretty good for someone who has had a double lung transplant.
Great for a guy battling a terminal condition who, as a young child, doctors said was likely to be dead by his 16th birthday.
Jerry, who lives in New York, US, suffers from cystic fibrosis, a chronic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system of about 70,000 children and adults worldwide.
Sufferers inherit a defective gene that causes a build-up of thick mucus in the lungs making it extremely hard to breathe, trapping bacteria in the airways causing lung infections and, ultimately, respiratory failure.
Almost 50 years on from Jerry's diagnosis with all the developments in medical science, the life expectancy of a sufferer is still only 36.
When Jerry was diagnosed with the condition at the age of 10, following repeated bouts of pneumonia from which he struggled to recover, his parents had wildly different views on how to take care of him given that the doctors treating him warned he would be lucky to reach the age of 16.
His mother, Mary, recalls: 'I was devastated to think my poor child was going to have to suffer with this diagnosis. As his mother I wanted to wrap my arms around him and keep him safe, keep him inside. But my husband Eddie said 'Jerry's going to be out there playing ball, doing everything that his brothers do. He shan't be treated differently'.
'And that's what we did – he was thrown into the pack and raised like everybody else.'
Jerry was introduced to the world of sport – the action he now pinpoints as the single most important thing that has seen him defy the medical odds and pass countless life expectancy 'deadlines'. 'I saw a lot of sick people when I was diagnosed, and people not making it and passing away. In a lot of ways I put blinders on and said I would stay strong and that I would exercise to stay healthy,' says Jerry.
But he could not go on sleepovers or to camps 'because I didn't want to take my medication and machines with me. There were too many difficult questions and situations. People would comment on how skinny I was. It was like a battlefield.'
His condition meant taking countless tablets and having suction on his lungs to keep them clear.
His bedroom had a special mist tent for him to sleep in.
'I went out to play with friends but there were a lot of things I couldn't participate in,' says Jerry. 'I accepted that and put myself into my exercise and eating healthy.'
Jerry first tried his hand at baseball – a game he admits, he did not exactly excel in – and after an eye injury he vowed never to play again.
He next tried football, then basketball but the tackling was too much for him so he turned his attention to cross-country running. 'It was the greatest thing because I was running and coughing up all that mucus keeping my lungs clear and making them stronger. Then I moved to track and field, especially pole vaulting, which I fell in love with. I was 14.'
In between bouts of medication and hours a day of a regime to rid his lungs of the excess mucus, Jerry drove himself on through a rigorous training programme and soon extended his involvement on the athletics scene into coaching pole vaulting to high school youngsters for national competitions.
'All this after the age of 16 when my parents had been told I wouldn't be here,' reflects Jerry.
Beyond his athletic successes, the activity was a lifeline for Jerry. 'Exercise is the best way the clear airways,' he says. 'You're running and moving and coughing, which really helps clear out your lungs.
'I exercise every day. You can't get caught in a comfort zone, eating whatever and not exercising. For someone with CF that could be lethal.'
Jerry enjoyed a successful career as a seller for a high-end fashion house but when his lung function started to decline he had his first serious discussions with doctors about a possible double lung transplant.
He reluctantly gave up work but continued exercising and started working as a volunteer in the CF community, creating programmes, podcasts, and sports foundations to help and inspire CF sufferers.
On April 12, 2012, he underwent a long and complicated lung transplant surgery that would give him a healthy pair of lungs. He was 56.
Double lung transplants have a 50 per cent survival rate within the first four years after surgery.
After 48 hours in a medically-induced coma, Jerry took his first tentative steps.
Less than a month later on May 1, he jogged for the first time since surgery. 'It felt fine and I never looked back,' recalls Jerry. Since then he has competed in two 800km bike races. He is currently taking part in the 60 for 60 – completing 60 events in the year you turn 60 (his birthday was in June). The challenge includes fishing, karaoke, push ups and donating blood.
'It's about living, breathing and succeeding,' says Jerry.
The 60-year-old has written five books – adult and children's literature – about his inspirational story and the challenges associated with life as a CF sufferer. In 2012, a documentary was made about his struggle with the disease, the transplant process and his road back to health and fitness post-surgery, including his first steps back on to the athletics track.
Up For Air is inspiring a new generation of CF patients as Jerry reveals his new daily routine includes a 30-40km bike ride every morning, office work for his charity foundations, pole-vaulting coaching (four times a week), followed by an afternoon bike ride or workout in the gym – along with a further strict medication routine, as his body could reject the new lungs at any time.
Jerry has never married and says, 'CF was always such a burden I never wanted to have anybody else involved.
'As a precaution to stay away from infection, I don't take public transport. I don't really shake hands. I'll do a bump and nod at people. It's isolating at times but you have a choice.'
Jerry's top tips for tackling CF:
- Keep exercising, every day if you can. Exercise is the best way to clear airways.
- Eat well. People with CF need a higher caloric intake. It's why we take a lot of digestive enzymes. But eat good stuff. You can't get caught in a comfort zone, eating whatever and not exercising, because that could be lethal.
- Stay positive. Move forward. You have to live.

text: This morning, when Miller and Deace went to their "Beat It" segment (sorry guys, I love music, but not a fan of "Beat It"), I dialed over to Mike and Mike on 1700 The Champ. Apparently today is Willie Mays' birthday, which promted a discussion on whether or not he is the best living baseball player. They had a guy on as a guest who certainly appeared to be very knowledgeable and the discussion among the three was incredibly interesting and insightful. When all was said and done, I certainly couldn't disagree with their conclusion. Their top three living baseball players, in order, were: 1. Willie Mays 2. Hank Aaron 3. Stan Musial Personally, I think Mays was the best player to ever put on cleats, but that is simply my opinion. I am not sure I can name another player who could hit .320 for you, hit 40-45 home runs, knock in 125 runs, steal 40 bases, and win a Gold Glove. I can remember when Mays signed his first $100,000 per year contract and I thought, 'how can you pay a guy that much money.' Heck, by today's standards, you would have to pay a guy with his all-around ability $25 million a year. They also talked about the next generation of best living base ball players which was also interesting, and they also mentioned who the best living pitcher might be. A very, very interesting discussion.

Chris Uhlmann in Canberra
Chris Uhlmann updates the program from Canberra.
LEIGH SALES, PRESENTER: Chris Uhlmann is standing by in Canberra.
Chris, you asked Julia Gillard how she thought she'd lost public sentiment along the way on climate change. What's your analysis on that question?
CHRIS UHLMANN, POLITICAL REPORTER: Well, Leigh, if you think back, this debate on climate change goes back a long way, and particularly the debate on a carbon price goes back quite a long way to the 2007 election when the Government really won the argument for the future based on its argument for climate change. And then really for the first two years up until December 2009 they kept that arrangement with the Coalition, both of them agreeing to have a price on carbon. It was only in December 2009 that by the time that they'd gotten rid of the second Opposition Leader Malcolm Turnbull, that the Tony Abbott line on a great, big, new tax came in. So they had a long time where they had political consensus. But the really big fracture came when this government - or the Rudd Government - decided that it was not going to proceed with its own ETS before the last election. And then of course we saw the Prime Minister rule out herself at the - just before the last election a tax on carbon.
So, how did the Labor Party get to the point that it's in now? Well it drove a long way itself to get to where it is now. It took a long time and a lot of effort really on the part of the Labor Party to make sure that it got to a point now where it does seem that it has lost a lot of community sentiment.
LEIGH SALES: You mentioned in that interview the drubbing that Labor took in today's Newspoll. What's been the private reaction to that in Canberra on both sides of politics?
CHRIS UHLMANN: Well, Leigh, never believe it when a politician tells you that they're not interested - he or she is not interested in the polls. They study polls more closely than anybody else. And in fact on Monday nights in Canberra before a Newspoll people do start ringing around to try and get some sense of what's happening with the figures. So they've looked long and hard at these. And these are disastrous figures. But that said, it is a long way out from the next election and the realists are saying that this is an argument that they do believe they can win in the long run.
But people are asking questions about the strategy behind this. If you rewind about two weeks, you'd recall that Tony Abbott was in a pretty dire circumstance. There was a lot of in fighting in the Coalition. Well this argument was started by the Government at the time when it was worse for Tony Abbott. It gave him a cause that he could champion and that was a really important thing for him. He has turned things around for himself in that time and things have got considerably worse for the Government.
So inside the Labor Party there's a lot of questioning about what the political strategy was behind this, and again how they managed to be re-running some of the arguments from the past just as badly as they did in the past.
LEIGH SALES: Chris, let's look forward. What's the Prime Minister up to in Washington tomorrow?
CHRIS UHLMANN: She's going to meet Hillary Clinton. And of course tomorrow US time is International Women's Day, so she will spend some time with her. She's also going to meet the intelligence chiefs. But the really big day comes the following day when she will address that joint sitting of both houses of Congress. And you'd have to say, Leigh, that she's been remarkably well treated by the Americans. She's staying at Blair House, which is the presidential guest house, which is not something that's afforded to every world leader. And of course, speaking to both houses of Congress is something that also happens reasonably rarely. And she had a second event with the President today and that was to go off to that school where they joked about football and about Vegemite. So the pictures coming out of the United States at the moment are very good for the Prime Minister. Unfortunately things overseas look a little bit rosier than they do domestically.
LEIGH SALES: Chris, on the US, you spoke in that interview about how far away they were from pricing carbon. Just give us a little bit more context around that. What exactly is the situation in the US on that issue?
CHRIS UHLMANN: Well the United States has basically - the Democrats have lost at a national level, they have lost the debate on pricing carbon. So, now what's happening, and particularly those people who ran the Tea Party campaign, they are moving on to the state-based schemes that the Prime Minister talked about. Now, there are about three of them in the United States that are running that do involve various states of the United States.
But to give you just an example on one: in the western region, there are seven US states and four Canadian provinces which were signed up over a period of time to being - to a carbon trading system. Well, the only one left in that now is California. All the Republicans states are removing their states from those carbon trading systems. So, the US is in retreat on this. And it interesting to contrast really what we're told often in Australia about what's happening on an international stage and what is actually happening.
LEIGH SALES: OK, Chris Uhlmann, thankyou very much. We'll talk tomorrow.
CHRIS UHLMANN: Thanks, Leigh.

The quote of the day is:
"As it turns out, being arrested is a great way to induce labor."
Two women were stealing software from Wal-Mart when they got caught. Upon being arrested, one woman went into labor, and had to be taken to the hospital instead of the police station. She is being charged with theft. I would add a charge of corrupting a minor for involving the baby in the heist.

Whilst exploring and making-while-walking is an important way for James to become mindful of and respond to the 'here and now', returning to the studio allows him to process and reflect on such experiences, and communicate a sense of what has been learned.
In this studio-based work, James focuses on the cultural and ecological relationship between people and places; researching the impact of culturally influenced perception on ecological systems.
In making each work, James explores his bodily relationship with the materials, their cultural and ecological context, and the value of an embodied, systems-based relationship with the world.
Much of James's two-dimensional work takes the form of collage or stitched pieces, combining a variety of materials and imagery to make and reveal connections.
In addition James often uses photography to document his own and others' interaction with artworks, returning them to places that he has visited, and allowing the object, body and place to speak with each other.

NHS Protest in York
7:00am 6th April 2013
A demonstration is taking place in York today about changes to the NHS.
The group "Defend our NHS - York" is protesting about major changes to the service it says have no mandate.
They argue that the rise in the amount of income NHS hospitals can make from private care from 2 to 49 percent will lead to longer waiting lists.
The protest is taking place at noon in Dean's Park and then will march to St Sampson's Square before holding an hour long rally.

Home Ministry sources said the decision on the follow-up action based on the third report on city infrastructure by the Shunglu panel will be taken after the Home Minister returns to Delhi on Friday.
Chidambaram is presently in Tamil Nadu where the Assembly elections were held today.
The sources said Chidambaram may seek reply from Delhi Lieutenant Governor Tejinder Khanna and Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit and other concerned agencies, allegedly held responsible by the panel for lack of oversight and decisions that led to cost escalation, before recommending action against them.
The Home Minister will assess the findings of the panel and, if convinced, may recommend an inquiry by the CBI, they said.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had on October 25 appointed a two-member high level committee under the chairmanship of former Comptroller and Auditor General V K Shunglu to look into various aspects of corruption and other deficiencies in the conduct of mega sporting event held here between October 3-14 last year.
The committee has submitted six reports on host broadcasting, Games Village, city infrastructure, Games venues, Organising Committee and Main Report -- Organisation and Conduct of CWG, 2010.
The report on city infrastructure was referred to the Home Ministry by the PMO for appropriate action on the queries raised by the Shunglu panel in works done by the city government-controlled departments.
The administration of Delhi, being the Union Territory, comes under the control of Home Ministry.
In its third report on projects to upgrade city infrastructure, especially related to road and transport, the committee has noted that there was no special preparation by the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (GNCTD) and blamed Dikshit for her decisions that led to cost escalation in CWG related projects.
The report said there was no special preparation by Delhi government despite constrained time frame. It said that unfair cost advantage was given to contractors due to compressed time frame and noted indication of "collusive bidding" by tenders floated by Public Works Department (PWD).
According to a conservative estimate by the panel, works worth over Rs 5,500 crore were carried out by the Delhi government, a majority of which -- about 75 per cent -- were executed by PWD.

It is 1:53 in length and I would strongly recommend that you watch the entire video because you really don't want to miss any of it. It really is that good and it was a joy to watch. I will add that the music was a tad different ;-) Enjoy!

Hello ladies.
I really hope none of you are here that were here. I am just quickly nipping in to let you all know. I delivered my Son on the 18th and he is perfect.
It it was not for the ladies here when I was TTC I would have given up and gone on DEPO and been resigned to never being a Mother again.
Thanks to the thoughts, support and inspiration from the ladies here after my late first trimester loss I got pregnant again.
For those interested here is my birth story.
This little man has defied all odds for his conception and perfection. xx

The Obama administration signed accords this week with three NATO allies to host cornerstones of a missile shield over Europe, including a highly sought-after deal with Turkey that will allow the installation of a U.S. radar station close to Iran.
After nearly two years of talks with Washington, Turkey's Foreign Ministry announced Wednesday that it would allow the U.S. military to operate a high-powered X-band radar station in Malatya province, about 400 miles west of the Iranian border. Along with similar radars deployed on U.S. Navy ships in the Mediterranean Sea, the station is intended to provide early warning of missile launches from Iran.
Turkey signed the agreement despite heavy political pressure from Iran and another neighbor, Russia, which have criticized the missile shield as a stalking horse to neutralize their own defenses. Iran's Foreign Ministry assailed Turkey's decision, saying it would "create tension" and cause "complicated consequences."
Turkey has sought to maintain friendly relations with Russia and Iran under its self-described "no problems with neighbors" policy. In this instance, however, the government in Ankara sided with the United States and its other NATO allies. Turkey has been a member of the military alliance since 1952.
Obama administration officials portrayed the radar accord as a coup not only for their missile defense plans but also their efforts to bolster ties with Turkey, which had soured because of the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003.
"This is probably the biggest strategic decision between the U.S. and Turkey over the past 10 to 15 years," a senior Obama administration official said Thursday, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss details of the negotiations.
With a booming economy, Turkey has become an increasingly influential force in diplomatic and business circles in the greater Middle East. In recent years, however, Turkey has burnished ties with Iran and Syria while cooling toward Europe, prompting concern in Washington.
Turkey's deteriorating relations with Israel posed another hurdle in the talks with Washington.
Turkish officials had insisted that the U.S. military not share data from the radar with Israel, which sees itself at much higher risk of an Iranian missile attack. Turkey's stance raised hackles on Capitol Hill, however, where several senators urged the White House to reject such restrictions.
Another senior administration official, also speaking on the condition of anonymity, said the signed agreement with Turkey does not bar the United States from indirectly providing radar data to Israel.
"It's understood that data from any U.S. radars and sensors around the world may be fused with other data to maximize the effectiveness of our missile defenses worldwide," that official said. "Nothing in any of the agreements restricts our ability to defend the state of Israel."
Although the early-warning radar in Turkey will primarily support NATO's missile defenses in Europe, the station will be owned and operated by the U.S. government. The U.S. military operates a similar radar station in Israel and is looking to place another near the Persian Gulf.
Administration officials said there was "no quid pro quo" as part of the Turkey radar agreement. The United States and Turkey are holding separate talks over basing U.S. drones in Turkey to guide attacks against Kurdish militants — a high priority for Ankara.
Development of a European missile shield accelerated under the George W. Bush administration. In September 2009, President Obama announced plans to construct a more extensive system in Europe that will be built in phases through 2020.
Under that system, a total of 48 missile interceptors will be based in Romania and Poland, starting in 2015 and 2018, respectively. The State Department finalized agreements with those countries this week.
At the same time, the Obama administration and NATO have been talking with Russia about the possibility of cooperating on missile defense. Moscow has been historically hostile to the idea of a missile shield in Europe, and the discussions have slowed recently.
"Our bilateral dialogue with Washington, and with Brussels within the NATO framework, has been increasingly stalled," said Alexander Lukashevich, a Foreign Ministry press spokesman, according to the Interfax news agency.
Correspondent Will Englund in Moscow contributed to this report.

New Haven, Conn.--Environmental gains derived from the use of nanomaterials may be offset in part by the process used to manufacture them, according to research published in a special issue of the Journal of Industrial Ecology.
Hatice Şengül and colleagues at the University of Illinois at Chicago assert that strict material purity requirements, lower tolerances for defects and lower yields of manufacturing processes may lead to greater environmental burdens than those associated with conventional manufacturing. In a separate study of carbon nanofiber production, Vikas Khanna and colleagues at Ohio State University found, for example, that the life-cycle environmental impacts may be as much as 100 times greater per unit of weight than those of traditional materials, potentially offsetting some of the environmental benefits of the small size of nanomaterials.
Materials engineered at dimensions of 1 to 100 nanometers¬ (1 to100 billionths of a meter) ¬exhibit novel physical, chemical and biological characteristics, opening possibilities for stunning innovations in medicine, manufacturing and a host of other sectors of the economy. Because small quantities of nanomaterials can accomplish the tasks of much larger amounts of conventional materials, the expectation has been that nanomaterials will lower energy and resource use and the pollution that accompanies them. The possibility of constructing miniature devices atom-by-atom has also given rise to expectations that precision in nanomanufacturing will lead to less waste and cleaner processes.
"Research in this issue reveals the potential of environmental impacts from nanomanufacturing to offset the benefits of using lighter nanomaterials," says Gus Speth, dean of the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies. "To date, most attention has focused on the possible toxic effects of exposure to nanoparticles¬ and appropriately so. But considerations of pollution and energy use arising from the production technologies used to make nanomaterials need attention as well."
Other topics explored in the special issue include:
- Approaches for identifying and reducing the life cycle hazards of nanomaterials
- Quantified life cycle energy requirements and environmental impacts from nanomaterials
- Tradeoffs between nanomanufacturing costs and occupational exposure to nanoparticles
- Efficiency of techniques for nanomaterials synthesis
- Improvement of the sustainability of bio-based products through nanotechnology
- Industrial frameworks for responsible nanotechnology
- Industrial and public perception about the risks and benefits of nanomaterials
- Governance and regulation of nanotechnology
Industrial ecology is a field that examines the opportunities for sustainable production and consumption, emphasizing the importance of a systems view of environmental threats and remedies. "Through the use of tools such as life cycle assessment, green chemistry and pollution prevention, industrial ecology takes a broad and deliberate view of environmental challenges," states Reid Lifset, editor-in-chief of the Journal of Industrial Ecology. "This special issue shows the power of this approach."
Roland Clift, professor of environmental technology in the Centre for Environmental Strategy at the University of Surrey, and Shannon Lloyd, principal research engineer in the Sustainability & Process Engineering Directorate at Concurrent Technologies Corporation, served as guest editors. Support for this special issue was provided by the Educational Foundation of America in Westport, Conn., and the Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington, D.C.

United slump to yet another loss
After 2-1 defeat by Stoke, title-holders have huge task to finish in the Champions League positions
Manchester United slumped to a 2-1 loss at Stoke in the Premier League on Saturday to puncture the optimism generated by Juan Mata's arrival and leave the reigning champions with a huge task to finish in the Champions League positions.
United's eighth defeat of a wretched campaign means Liverpool, who currently occupy the fourth and final Champions League place, could go nine points clear of their fierce rivals by beating West Bromwich Albion on Sunday.
Charlie Adam scored both of Stoke's goals at Britannia Stadium either side of Robin van Persie's equaliser, with a miserable day for United capped by first-half injuries to centre halves Jonny Evans and Phil Jones that forced them off.
Everton beat Aston Villa 2-1 to climb to fifth above Tottenham, who drew 1-1 at Hull. Cardiff edged Norwich 2-1 while Fulham slumped to a 3-0 loss at home to Southampton.
League Cup finalists Sunderland enjoyed a 3-0 success at bitter rivals Newcastle United, while West Ham weathered the dismissal of striker Andy Carroll to overcome Swansea City 2-0 at Upton Park.
Carroll got his marching orders in the 59th minute after jumping with Chico Flores in an aerial challenge. As the pair untangled following their collision, Carroll caught Flores with a flailing arm and, with the Swansea defender falling theatrically to the turf, referee Howard Webb showed him the red card.
West Ham manager Sam Allardyce said they would look to have Carroll's dismissal overturned. "We will appeal it, yes," Allardyce said. "Hopefully we don't lose Andy for three games.
"He's gutted. He's absolutely beside himself. If we're going to red card people for that, then we might as well stop playing and I might as well retire. The game's all about physical contact - there's two challenges gone in and there's nothing happened of any major incident."
It was only West Ham's fifth league victory this season thanks to two first-half goals from Kevin Nolan.
Nolan scored his first after Carroll rose to cushion a header into his path and he then drove a low shot past Swansea goalkeeper Gerhard Tremmel.
Then a Stewart Downing corner picked out Carroll, who headed back across goal to Nolan, who glanced his header past Tremmel from close range.
At St James' Park, Adam Johnson continued his rich run of form as Sunderland claimed their second successive 3-0 away win over their Tyne-Wear derby foes in the Premier League.
Sunderland took control with two goals in the space of four minutes midway through the first half. The opening goal came from the penalty spot in controversial circumstances, after Vurnon Anita was harshly adjudged to have brought down Phil Bardsley in the area as the defender chased a pass from Johnson.
Fabio Borini found the top-left corner to score for the second time against Newcastle this season.
Soon after, Johnson poked home to score his sixth goal in his last four league games and Jack Colback scored with a rising drive in the 80th minute.
