Straily looks to keep A's in control atop AL West
Oakland in first place entering matchup with surging Astros rookie
Armed with sole possession of first place in the American League West for the first time since Aug. 6 after leapfrogging the Rangers on Friday, the A's will be out to maintain or extend their half-game advantage Saturday when the club hosts the bottom-dwelling Astros for the third meeting in a four-game set.
For the A's to take another step toward a repeat division crown, they'll have to deal with young left-hander Brett Oberholtzer, who has been nothing short of dominant since joining the Astros' rotation July 31.
The 24-year-old rookie is 4-1 with 26 strikeouts over six starts, with his 1.98 ERA leading the AL during that span. In his start on Sunday, Oberholtzer tossed the Astros' first complete-game shutout of the season in a 2-0 win against Seattle. The southpaw surrendered just four hits, all singles, across his nine innings.
"Everything was working," Astros catcher Jason Castro said. "I think the biggest thing, stuff aside, was that he was able to get ahead consistently all game. All breaking stuff was working that day, but getting ahead allowed him to use it more."
Hoping to derail Oberholtzer's momentum for Oakland will be another rookie in Dan Straily. After allowing six runs in 3 1/3 innings against the Orioles on Aug. 23, the right-hander has been much improved his last two starts, both wins. Straily gave up one run on eight hits over six innings against the Tigers on Aug. 28 then followed up that effort by defeating division-rival Texas on Monday. The 24-year-old lasted five innings, allowing two runs on just three hits in Oakland's 4-2 win.
"We knew coming into this month that we had six games against the Rangers," Straily said after the game. "We got to take care of business here and take care of business the rest of the month, too."
Astros: Grossman not rushing back from oblique recovery
Robbie Grossman has yet to pick up a bat and remains day to day as he recovers from a strained oblique incurred while swinging in the 12th inning of Tuesday's contest against the Twins.
Friday was his third game out of the lineup since the injury, and manager Bo Porter said it's still unclear when Grossman will be able to return.
"He's still a little sore," Porter said. "Again, those obliques can be funny. I think we just have to monitor it each and every day and see how he progresses."
Porter wasn't ready to determine whether Grossman will return before the season's end.
"I don't think we can sit here today and make that prediction," Porter said. "I think as time goes on, he's going to get treatment, and once he's physically able to play, we'll get him back in there.
A's: Jaso battling concussion symptoms
Recovering from a concussion sustained a month and a half ago, catcher John Jaso is still hoping he will play again this season, but with September already in full swing, time is running out.
"I'm wondering that," Jaso said Friday. "We'll just have to see how it goes. I can't control anything. All I can do is lie about it or tell the truth, and I'm just telling the truth and letting the professionals decide."
Jaso was batting .271 with a team-leading .387 on-base percentage following his last game in Houston on July 24.
"I've had concussions before and it hasn't taken this long," he said. "I'm not the first guy this has happened to, though, and I understand that. Still, it's such a helpless feeling and you don't really want it. You just come to a point you realize it is what it is."
Worth noting
• The A's are 13-4 this season against the Astros.
• Saturday's game is the 16th in a stretch of 20 games in 20 days for the Astros. The club is 6-9 thus far.

Scientists Suggest that Swindle Fudged Data
Scientists Suggest that Swindle Fudged Data
Two more scientists have stepped forward to criticize the U.K. TV documentary, the Great Global Warming Swindle , for misleading viewers with unsubstantiated conclusions about climate change.
Dr. Eigil Friis-Christensen, Director of the Danish National Space Center, and Nathan Rive, a Research Fellow and the Center for International Climate and Environmental Research (CICERO) in Oslo, Norway, say the only way the program could have produced at least one of its graphs (inset) was by making up the data.
Although scientists have denounced the content of the climate change denial documentary, and several of the "experts" who participated in the production (e., Tim Ball , Fred Singer) work as lobbyists for the energy industry, there is still a movement to have the Swindle shown in schools alongside the award-winning Inconvenient Truth. There are even those who suggest that asking that the Swindle be corrected or removed to a dusty shelf are guilty of censorship (Hi Amy).
Let's hope this latest round of criticism finally convinces school officials that this docu-commentary is actually an agenda-driven piece of propaganda that has no place being presented as a reasonable counterpoint to the proven science in an Inconvenient Truth.
Previous Comments
"… the proven science in an Inconvenient Truth." That's a good one, Richard. LOL Keep 'em coming. We can all use more humour in our lives.
–J. Dowell, Denieralist
As opposed to .. you know Hughes doing all the research himself, 'cause we're all still waiting for research that proves a natural cause.
I guess it's just too hard for some people.
Here is what Richard Lindzen of MIT has written about An Inconvenient Truth:
"A general characteristic of Mr. Gore's approach is to assiduously ignore the fact that the Earth and its climate are dynamic; they are always changing even without any external forcing. To treat all change as something to fear is bad enough; to do so in order to exploit that fear is much worse."
Various scientists and science writers have compiled lists of Gore's goofs. Here's a sampling of where they think the Goracle is either wrong or misleading:
–He promoted the now-debunked "hockey stick" temperature chart in an attempt to prove man's overwhelming impact on the climate.
–He attempted to minimize the significance of the Medieval Warm Period and the Little Ice Age.
–He insisted on a link between increased hurricane activity and global warming that most scientists believe does not exist.
–He asserted that today's Arctic is experiencing unprecedented warmth while ignoring that temperatures in the 1930s were as warm or warmer.
–He claimed the Antarctic was warming and losing ice but failed to note that it is only true of a small region, and the vast bulk of Antarctica has been cooling and gaining ice.
–He erroneously claimed the ice cap on Mt. Kilimanjaro is disappearing due to global warming, even while the region cools and researchers blame the ice loss on local land-use practices.
–He made assertions of massive future sea level rise way outside of any supposed scientific "consensus" and not supported in even the most alarmist literature or by the IPCC.
"I can assure Mr. Gore that no one from the South Pacific islands has fled to New Zealand because of rising seas. In fact, if Gore consults the data, he will see it shows sea level falling in some parts of the Pacific." – Dr. Chris de Freitas, climate scientist, associate professor, University of Auckland, N.Z.
–He blamed global warming for water loss in Africa's Lake Chad, despite NASA scientists concluding that local population and grazing factors are the more likely culprits.
–He inaccurately claimed polar bears are drowning in significant numbers due to melting ice when in fact they are thriving.
Consider yourself "memoed", Richard.
The "drowning polar bear" story is a bogus one. No study was ever done on this; in fact, the drowned polar bears were observed only after a major storm had swept through the particular area.
Almost all polar bear populations in Canada are thriving, not only the garbage munching bears in Churchill.
While "An Inconveninet Truth" may not be untrue, portions of it are presented without proper context, with the effect of distorting the science, and misinforming the public. Alarmism, as they say. Regards,
Paul G said: "Almost all polar bear populations in Canada are thriving, not only the garbage munching bears in Churchill".
Do you deliberately try to mislead us Paul, or are you just lazy and can't be bothered to check sources?
"Of the 13 Canadian polar bear populations, the current trends for the 11 populations not known to be severely reduced from historic levels are:
* five populations declining,
* five populations stable and
* one population is data deficient.
In the next 10 years, five polar bear populations have an estimated high/very high risk of decline, six have a low/very low risk and there is currently no estimate for two populations".
Found at:
That means that greater than 50% of the Canadian polar bear populations are in trouble.
Ian Forrester
You're cherry picking to promote unfounded alarmism again Ian.
Here is a quote from Dr. Mitchell Tayor, one of Canada's foremost polar bear biologists:
"Of the 13 populations of polar bears in Canada , 11 are stable or increasing in number. They are not going extinct, or even appear to be affected at present."
And a headline from the CBC:
"Polar bear worries unproven, expert says"
And a quote from The Scotsman:
"According to new research, the numbers of the giant predator have grown by between 15 and 25 per cent over the last decade."
And the Inuit say:
"Polar bear numbers rising, Inuit elders tell wildlife board"
Now entertain us some more with your "Myth of the Drowning Polar Bears (Due to AGW)". Regards,
Paul, if every reference you find supporting a thesis points to the same person then check to see if he may have an ulterior motive. The area which Taylor studies is the most populated region of the arctic where hunting of polar bears was rampant. The population nose dived up to the 1970's (surprise surprise, when hunting was banned populations rebounded) The Inuit are lobbying for increased hunting limits. Surprise suprise along comes a biologist who thinks this is a great idea and he writes a few reports showing that there are way too many polar bears so let the Inuit hunt more of them.
Then along comes AGW and the effect it is having on polar bears.…. get my drift?
There are a lot more reports confirming what the WWF are reporting than are supporting Taylor.
Ian Forrester
You're no expert on polar bears Ian, so don't pretend to be one like the WWF also pretends to be.
Dr. Mitch Taylor is a well respected polar bear scientist with far more expertise then the WWF.
What peer reviewed science has the WWF publiched on polar bears?
And can you provide me with the peer reviewed science confirming an increase in drowned polar bears? Regards,
Paul, I've never claimed to be an expert on polar bears. However, I'm pretty good at sorting rubbish from facts in most areas. It is pretty easy to distinguish a good science paper from a paper written with a political or economic agenda.
I will not repond to your request for additonal information since Carl has done an excellent job for me.
Ian Forrester
Of course you won't respond to requests for peer-reviewed articles on the supposed dire status of polar bears because you can't supply any. Regards,
You see what you are up agaisnt with Desmoggers, Paul. Everyone who produces data that does not support AGW hysteria and alarmism has ulterior motives. They are in the pay of big oil or they are defending some other sort of commercial activity, in this case Inuit hunting rights. This is a constant theme of (poor beleaguered) Ian Forrester. No wonder Littlemore and his crew admire Ian so much. He does their work for them.
This Demsogger tactic is not a surprising stance when you look at the purpose of this web site, which is operated by David Suzuki's PR firm. The web site was obviously created to marginalize all the so-called leading deniers by smearing their reputations or calling their motives into question so others will dismiss what they say.
Once they have accomplished this task, they can pretend that the science is settled and there is a consensus because only industry shills and nutcakes question the AGW hypothesis.
Fortunately these shabby efforts do not seem to be working because people on their denier hit list keep turning up in the media to question AGW.
Ask the Experts: Are Polar Bear Populations Increasing?
Answered by Dr. Andrew Derocher
"Some recent media reports have cited inaccurate data concerning polar bears. They mistakenly state that polar bear populations are increasing. We turned to Dr. Andrew Derocher, a member of our Advisory Council, for clarification. Dr. Derocher is a polar bear scientist with the University of Edmonton in Canada and the Chair of the IUCN/SSC Polar Bear Specialist Group.
Question: The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service has proposed that the polar bear be listed as a threatened species. Yet some news reports state that polar bear numbers are actually increasing. For example, the following paragraph appeared on the Fox News Web site:
"In the 1950s the polar bear population up north was estimated at 5,000. Today it's 20- to 25,000, a number that has either held steady over the last 20 years or has risen slightly. In Canada, the manager of wildlife resources for the Nunavut territory of Canada has found that the population there has increased by 25 percent."
If this is true, then why are scientists worried about population declines?
Answer from Dr. Derocher: The various presentations of biased reporting ignore, or are ignorant of, the different reasons for changes in populations. If I thought that there were more bears now than 50 years ago and a reasonable basis to assume this would not change, then no worries. This is not the case.
The bottom line here is that it is an apples and oranges issue. The early estimates of polar bear abundance are a guess—there is no data at all for the 1950-60s. Nothing but guesses. We are sure the populations were being negatively affected by excess harvest (e.g., aircraft hunting, ship hunting,self-killing guns, traps, and no harvest limits). The harvest levels were huge and growing. The resulting low numbers of bears were due only to excess harvest but, again, it was simply a guess as to the number of bears.
After the signing of the International Agreement on Polar Bears in the 1970s, harvests were controlled and the numbers increased— there is no argument from anyone on this point. Some populations recovered very slowly (e.g., Barents Sea took almost 30 years) but some recovered faster. Some likely never were depressed by hunting that much, but the harvest levels remained too high and the populations subsequently declined. M'Clintock Channel is a good example. The population is currently down by over 60% of historic levels due only to overharvesting. Some populations recovered as harvests were controlled, but have since declined due to climate-related effects (e.g., Western Hudson Bay). In Western Hudson Bay, previously sustainable harvests cannot be maintained as the reproductive and survival rates have declined due to changes in the sea ice.
At this point, we lack quantitative data for an overall assessment of trend in Canada or Nunavut as a whole. There is, however, very strong evidence for a decline in Western Hudson Bay and the Southern Beaufort Sea based on quantitative studies. More recently, scientists working in the Southern Hudson Bay have reported a major decline in the condition of polar bears. A decline in condition was the precursor to the population decline in Western Hudson Bay. There is clear suggestion of a population decline due to over-harvest in Baffin Bay, Kane Basin and possibly Norwegian Bay.
The point is that you cannot simply summarize the status of polar bears—the information lies in the individual populations. You cannot put the various time periods together into a simplistic overview. Sea ice is declining but again, it is not declining the same everywhere. Some small areas of multi-year ice may improve habitat for polar bears. This latter point, however, does not mean that the habitat in all areas will improve and the predictions are very clear that the primary habitat of polar bears is at risk.
We can control harvests through management and these efforts are underway for several of the over-harvested populations. So far, I have not seen any movement on serious consideration of reducing greenhouse gases in North America (or other countries with few exceptions). Climate warming is not under control and I do not see the management changes coming to effect the needed changes in climate change emissions.
Look at the messengers: lobby groups for big business say there is no problem. Yes, conservation groups moved the issue forward for listing under the Endangered Species Act but this was already an issue that was founded on scientific information. The IUCN/SSC Polar Bear Specialist Group was moving on a Vulnerable designation (the same as Threatened under the Endangered Species Act) before anybody heard of actions from environmental groups. Sea ice change and habitat loss is the key driving force. Ignore the bears for a moment and look at the evidence for sea ice change: NASA is a key player in looking at the actual decreases in sea ice. It is an easy matter to put the dots together: no habitat, no seals; no seals, no bears. This never was an issue of polar bears alone. The only effective conservation approach is to protect the habitat and this is an issue of climate change. You can distort the issue any way you so desire. At the end of the day, the sea ice is disappearing. Take away the habitat and the species follows shortly thereafter (or before).
Comparing declines caused by harvest followed by recovery from harvest controls to declines from loss of habitat and climate warming are apples and oranges. Ignorant people write ignorant things".
I posted a list of references yesterday but it never got through the spam filter. Once again I will repeat that if you only read right wing blogs you will only get right wing points of view. The majority (not all) of these have biases of varying sizes. Anyone who is in the consulting business knows that you check around for someone who mirrors your view and then you hire him to support your already defined position.
I agree that it is getting harder and harder to find expert sources who are not biased but with perseverance it can be done. Usually University and Government employees are the least biased and private sector "think" tanks are the worst.
Ian Forrester
As I've said before, you can provide no peer-reviewed science that polar bears are threatened with extinction.
And no peer-reviewed sceince that more polar bears are drowning.
So an intelligent person can safely say, that according to the peer-reviewed science, polar bears are not threatened with extinction. Regards,
Paul G said: "you can provide no peer-reviewed science that polar bears are threatened with extinction".
Since both Carl and I have presented ample evidence to back claims that a number of the populations are in fact declining, you start talking about extinction. No where in this thread have I claimed that polar bears are heading for extinction. Stick to what is being discussed.
As for the peer reviewed paper on polar bears drowning then you obviously haven't looked very hard.
Here it is:
"Observations of mortality associated with extended open-water swimming by polar bears in the Alaskan Beaufort Sea", Polar Biology, vol 29, 681-687, 2006.
"During aerial surveys in September 1987–2003, a total of 315 live polar bears were observed with 12 (3.8%) animals in open water, defined for purposes of this analysis as marine waters >2 km north of the Alaska Beaufort Sea coastline or associated barrier islands. No polar bear carcasses were observed. During aerial surveys in early September, 2004, 55 polar bears (Ursus maritimus) were seen, 51 were alive and of those 10 (19.9%) were in open water. In addition, four polar bear carcasses were seen floating in open water and had, presumably, drowned. Average distance from land and pack ice edge for live polar bears swimming in open water in 2004 (n=10) were 8.3±3.0 and 177.4±5.1 km, respectively. We speculate that mortalities due to offshore swimming during late-ice (or mild ice) years may be an important and unaccounted source of natural mortality given energetic demands placed on individual bears engaged in long-distance swimming. We further suggest that drowning-related deaths of polar bears may increase in the future if the observed trend of regression of pack ice and/or longer open water periods continues".
Don't you ever get embarassed about making all those errors? Hope your job doesn't require you to make too many critical judgement calls.
Ian Forrester
There are a number of errors in the assumptions you that you draw from those links. For starters I do agree with the assessment that there is no current sign of polar bear extinction. The link below highlight another cbc interview with Dr. Taylor where he highlights a population that is decreasing and adjusting management practices.
Dr. Taylor also states that
Climate change is having an effect on the west Hudson population of polar bears, but really, there is no need to panic.
The absence of panic is attributed to his conclusion that populations in other regions are growing. However. Dr. Taylor is also a climate change denialist of sorts hosting this website so that might lead some to question his overall reliability. Though he is a biologist so perhaps that credibility is better.
Polar bears have been considered a threatened species I believe back in the early 1900's mostly due to over exploitation of the species though hunting during that time period. The bear populations have been in recovery since primarily due to changes in the management practices and the quota system.
Modern growth of some populations has been suggested though modeling of the population and hunting quotas are based on catch per unit effort or fly over estimation. Where as changes in the dynamics of the bears habitat can change how much effort is needed in hunting one, i.e. if the bears are spending more time on land there is greater likelihood of running into a human hunter. Authors such as Stirling believe that this is leading to an overestimation of population size. In addition a market decline in seal products has all but stopped hunting in some places, causing a surge in seal populations allowing bears to be the sole predator and not having to compete with humans. I hate using internet sources but I couldn't find a journal one with a quick search
A number of authors have written on the effects of warming and predictions for the bear population. Journal articles such as
Stirling I. and Parkinson C. 2006. Possible effects of climate warming on selected populations of polar bears (Ursus maritimus) in the Canadian Arctic. Artic 59(3) 261-275.
Where by they state that
Polar bears depend on sea ice for survival. Climate warming in the Arctic has caused significant declines in total cover and thickness of sea ice in the polar basin and progressively earlier breakup in some areas. However, long-term data on the population size and body condition of polar bears in Western Hudson Bay, as well as population and harvest data from Baffin Bay, make it clear that those two populations at least are more likely to be declining, not increasing. While the ecological details vary in the regions occupied by the five different populations discussed in this paper, analysis of passive-microwave satellite imagery beginning in the late 1970s indicates that the sea ice is breaking up at progressively earlier dates, so that bears must fast for longer periods during the open-water season. Thus, at least part of the explanation for the appearance of more bears near coastal communities and hunting camps is likely that they are searching for alternative food sources in years when their stored body fat depots may be depleted before freeze-up, when they can return to the sea ice to hunt seals again. We hypothesize that, if the climate continues to warm as projected by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), then polar bears in all five populations discussed in this paper will be increasingly food-stressed, and their numbers are likely to decline eventually, probably significantly so. As these populations decline, problem interactions between bears and humans will likely continue, and possibly increase, as the bears seek alternative food sources. Taken together, the data reported in this paper suggest that a precautionary approach be taken to the harvesting of polar bears and that the potential effects of climate warming be incorporated into planning for the management and conservation of this species throughout the Arctic.
Big question becomes if polar bears can adapt to rate of change currently occurring in the artic, it's a big question, and there is no answer. If they can't, then it's likely they will be extinction bound…….
Thanks Carl, you have saved me the trouble of fishing out similar reports.
There are also a number of reports showing that even though the populations are steady the overall health of the individual bears is declining due to poor nutrition.
Some people will just never accept facts.
Ian Forrester
Carl states:
=== "For starters I do agree with the assessment that there is no current sign of polar bear extinction." ===
Agreed. And there is no peer-reviewed science that predicts the extinction of polar bears, the same as there is no peer-reviewed science supporting the notion that more polar bears are drowning.
Therefore, alarmists propagating the claim that "all the polar bears could go extinct", are not supported by the science and should be ignored on this particular claim. Regards,
I only say no sign of extinction because at the moment there isnt, but polar bears are not a threatened species for no reason at all. The threatened definition puts it one step away from being endangered. Now, its quite clear that at least 1 bear population is in decline from climate change. As the bears ecology and life style is well connected to the presence and absence of sea ice.
Seal hunting and seal populations have exploded in some places due and have provided bears with increased food sources in other places, and there is concern from Canadian Wildlife services (See Stirling and Lunn) that bears are increasing their time spend on land as less ice is present leading to over estimation of populations.
It cannot be said with definity that the bears are going extinct but there is documented and clear concern that climate change is the biggest threat to the populations. The notion that they could go extinct is definitely a possbility but if they are unable to adapt to a rapidly changing environment. The polar bear study group also concludes that
Future challenges for conserving polar bears and their Arctic habitat will be greater than at any time in the past because of the rapid rate at which environmental change appears to be occurring.
There is no doubt the concern for the bears.
John, the IPCC features the "Hockey Stick" (it's "hockey", not "hokey", can't you spell?) in its latest report of the science, the AR4:
See Chapter 6 on Paleoclimate, pages 466-483. The chapter debunks McIntyre and McKitrick's allegations, as well. Page 467 features the MBH graph.
Maybe they don't know where you stay. I don't think there is postal delivery in the caves up in the Gatineau Hills. It makes you even look more stupid when you admit that you don't get paid for promoting the rubbish that Ball, Singer, Michaels, Soon, Carter, Balliunas et al. get paid for. They must just love you and cheer after your every post. Leaves more money for their sleazy pockets.
Ian Forrester
John, the reason I will call out all the nonsense you and others put out is that I hate to see people distorting the truth. It is lying and fraud, very serious offences in my book. You have shown that you are very capable of lying to distort the truth. Remember your post about the Rideau Canal? You lied about that then said that you found the information in the Ottawa Citizen. John, two lies do not cancel each other out, they just show that you are completely unprincipled (did you not think that I would check in the Citizen to see if what you were saying was true or not?).
I happen to lead a life and have a career where truth and honesty are number one. You of course would not understand that.
Ian Forrester
One has the word "Swindle" in its title and that describes the contents exactly.
The other has "Truth" and it is 100% correct.
The two Johns above haven't a clue as to the difference between swindle and truth. I just hope that neither of you are involved in education of young minds since you so distort the truth. Your knowledge of science is so lacking I don't know how you have the audacity to even comment on stuff which is so obviously beyond your capabilities.
Ian Forrester
"… the proven science in an Inconvenient Truth."
When was the theory of anthropogenic global warming proven, Richard? I would be most intrigued to know this, and so would a lot of other people, I'm sure.
Where can we find this conclusive proof, that you claim exists?
Or did you just make that up?
"Oh for the love of God, Eco-Hitler, why must you always attack the writing of an article here, rather than trying to deal with the content of its message?"
Odd that every single post on this website does precisely that. Yet you don't seem to complain in that case.
"Sorry for the rant, but I'm getting tired of seeing you only post superficial, inflammatory questions."
Interesting. Littlemore makes the claim that the science in Gore's "Inconvenient Truth" is proven, and you find my request for this alleged proof "superficial" and "inflammatory".
Very revealing, indeed.
I think you will have to wait for your answer, Eco-Hitler. I am not aware of any scientist who can point to a human influence on climate change that is in any way discernible from the background of natural forcings.
The AGW cultists thought they had their proof with Mann's hockey stick but after McKitrick and McIntyre got through with it, you don't hear about it so much anymore. Seems there was this slight problem (among many) of it producing a hockey stick no matter what data was fed into it.
Desmoggers are loyal if nothing else so Richard Littlemore stands by his Mann.
The Hockey Stick is still valid and accepted.
Here you go, EgoHitler and John DowellD
"…The claims of McIntyre and McKitrick, which hold that the "Hockey-Stick" shape of the MBH98 reconstruction is an artifact of the use of series with infilled data and the convention by which certain networks of proxy data were represented in a Principal Components Analysis ("PCA"), are readily seen to be false , as detailed in a response by Mann and colleagues to their rejected Nature criticism demonstrating that (1) the Mann et al (1998) reconstruction is robust with respect to the elimination of any data that were infilled in the original analysis, (2) the main features of the Mann et al (1998) reconstruction are entirely insensitive to whether or not proxy data networks are represented by PCA, (3) the putative 'correction' by McIntyre and McKitrick, which argues for anomalous 15th century warmth (in contradiction to all other known reconstructions), is an artifact of the censoring by the authors of key proxy data in the original Mann et al (1998) dataset, and finally, (4) Unlike the original Mann et al (1998) reconstruction, the so-called 'correction' by McIntyre and McKitrick fails statistical verification exercises, rendering it statistically meaningless and unworthy of discussion in the legitimate scientific literature.
The claims of McIntyre and McKitrick have now been further discredited in the peer-reviewed scientific literature, in a paper to appear in the American Meteorological Society journal, "Journal of Climate" by Rutherford and colleagues (2004)…"
And the Hockey Stick for Dummies
I think the inclusion of air pollution is one of the strong points of the Tory plan. Polluted air is a real problem that requires our attention. The strategies for cleaning up the air and tackling alleged AGW may have some overlap but they are not entirely the same. Money wasted on the notion that tinkering with CO2 emissions can alter the course of climate change could, in my view, be better spent cleaning up our air and water.
Yeah, let's develop alternative energy sources so we can cut back on fossil fuels as much as possible for the sake of cleaner air and to reduce our (the West's) need to buy oil from people who hate our guts. Maybe we should go nuclear, which is cleaner but has disposal problems. No matter how we create the energy we need to run our society, there are going to be side effects. I guess we just have to choose the least damaging.
Geez, with those remarks I may have jeopardized the income from big oil that Ian says I am getting.
Freshly minted college graduates won't be entering the most promising of job markets this spring, and that means one key to successful job hunting is perseverance and will be more important than ever. Spring is the time for a job hunt. That is when a lot of people are hiring, and it is also the time for students on spring break to begin the job hunt for employment over their summer vacation. Unemployment during any season isn't pleasant, but you don't want to have to need an instant payday loan for summer activities like rafting or camping. As with any job hunt, it's important to start sooner rather than later to secure employment and start earning an income. The best kind of debt relief is to make more money, which is something that can be aided if you have a successful job hunt.
People denying global warming are completely off. The Arctic Ocean's Permanent Ice is melting, there is no denying that, it's visible by satellite. If people denying global warming really knew what they were talking about, they would mention more about the cause of such global warming, as it is not 100% proven greenhouse gases are the main cause of this, although it logically should be among the major factors, along with deforestation and of the Amazonian forest, the lungs of our planet. The point though is those important factors are caused by mankind.

The cervical canal also allows sperm to pass from the vagina into the uterus.

Posted December 07, 2012
I actuallly have a huge amount of games on steam but I hated the platform until I was forced to install it for civilization V. Then I started hating it less, than in the following weeks there was a big summer or fall sale, I can't remember which on and I noticed all the game half price and now I think its cool. I am just concerned about the fair share that developpers should get. I just hope the fate of video games will not follow the fate of hollywood cinema.

I'm pretty sure the trade rule is that 10 points is the maximum that you can trade.
Printable View
I'm pretty sure the trade rule is that 10 points is the maximum that you can trade.
na, one points not that big of a deal
I was offering waaaaaaaaay more!!
I agree the point is not a big deal at all. but the trade is kind of a big deal. LOL. and since the one point more makes it an invalid trade there is always the option that Trell could then say I don't want only 10 points in the deal and can take his time to make it a better trade for his team or look at other options.
Trell don't take the one less point and I can give you the PF you want!
I offered five picks and a good and young PF, just for Oneil and 2 points!
You could put out a letter to the league and put it all in Comic Sans ala Dan Gilbert
Wow a single league point may nix this very good trade for the.lakers
LOL i agree with HornetsFan. I was actually in the same boat as Trell early in the season when i almost jumped the gun and traded Odom away. Luckily for me (sorry BallSoHard) I was able to back out of it bc it was invalid like this one. I later worked out a deal with him that we were both happy with tho. This one is even more lopsided than the first failed trade between clips and lakers. Trell should be getting back much more talent for what hes giving up. I think everyone can see that.
He keeps saying other offers sucked but i offered him stromile swift straight up for baron davis.and he didnt take that but he is okay with this one. :confused:
Okay, a good and young PF.
Anyway, again. Trell, if you like the trade and would take it for 10 points still, then speak up. If not, contact Balls and work it out.
Also, I know some owners commenting in this thread didn't like when others commented about the "fairness" in their own trade threads. So let's keep that in mind before we continuously blast and beat a dead horse.
Ballsohard was this the deal you needed to get done before we do ours?
What's funny is the majority of the people complaining, are ones that "offered way better deals". I offered what I thought were way better deals than deals i've seen go down, never said a peep.
The only bad part about that trade was the Mavs first. I should have gotten a better first rounder.
Can only trade 10 points.
It is funny. I posted after the trade was already agreed to from both sides. I thought it was already official. I was giving my take on how much of a lopsided trade it was. So good for you. You made one Hell of a deal !!!!!
I personally don't like when people give their opinion of a trade before its been approved by both parties by someone not even involved in the deal. I don't like that part of how the trade threads work. but i guess that's how it's going to be unless CP3 changes it.
Well then you sir are a gentleman and a scholar lol. But seriously this isn't the first time everyone has chimed in on a trade, won't be the last. It is an awesome deal for you and shifts power, you reload and come back even stronger after making it so close. Big news friend, it'll be closed anyway when cp3 completes it so why not talk about it lol

A New Squad! Two People and a Dog?! (新生三人一組 二人と一匹!, Shin'sei Surīman Seru Futari to Ippiki!) is episode 144 of the original Naruto anime.
Naruto is having trouble with the two brothers, and Iruka is having his share of difficulties with Mizuki. Iruka struggles to try to get the old Mizuki back, but Mizuki explains the only reason he was ever nice to Iruka was because he wanted to be the Hokage's favourite too. He wanted Iruka to be miserable, and not to have everyone else be so kind to Iruka and not himself. Iruka and Mizuki then prepare to fight again. Meanwhile, after many shadow clone attacks, Naruto finally has a chance to use Rasengan. The brothers accidentally destroy their lunch and make Naruto's attack hit his shadow clones. As they prepare to kill him, Shikamaru, Chōji, and Ino come to the rescue.

The Arkansas Senate has approved legislation that would ban the sale and use of sky lanterns in the state.
The Senate voted 25-10 Monday and passed the bill that would prohibit the sale and use of unmanned free-floating devices designed to contain an open flame known as sky lanterns.
Democratic Sen. Robert Thompson of Paragould sponsored the bill. Thompson called the devices a fire hazard.
The House approved the measure on a 54-26 vote earlier this month.
The bill now heads back to the House for lawmakers to concur in an amendment before it goes to the governor.
If the bill becomes law, it would become effective on Jan. 1, 2014.

Pro-science candidates triumph in MontanaAfter the May 4, 2004, school board election in Darby, Montana, the proposed "objective origins" policy is likely to be dead in the water. Oklahoma textbook bill passes -- without disclaimer
On April 28, 2004, the Oklahoma House of Representatives passed House Bill 2194 -- a bill governing textbook purchase contracts -- by a vote of 96–0. Conspicuously absent from the bill as passed was the disclaimer provision added to the bill on February 23. Decision to remove evolution from Italian schools reversedby Nick Matzke A Second "Equal Time for Intelligent Design" BillOn April 7 House Bill 1722 was introduced in the Missouri General Assembly. This bill would require "the equal treatment of science instruction regarding evoluton and intelligent design". It is sponsored by the same representative as House Bill 911, introduced earlier this year, and contains much the same language as that bill with the exception of a few provisions.

The Most Comfortable Teak Folding Chair
- Heirloom quality
- Teak will weather to a beautiful silver-gray
- Durable mortise-and-tenon joinery
Everyone knows you have to give up some comfort for the convenience of a folding chair… right? Not with this folding chair! It features the same full-sized seat as our other teak chairs, at the same height, so guests won't feel like they've been put in the kiddie seat. The seat and back are sculpted for comfort — practically unheard of in a folding chair. And because each is made of 22 pounds of solid teak, they aren't prone to tipping or blowing over. If you want to seat guests in style while saving space, these easily-stowed chairs are the perfect answer.
Teak is the wood of choice for boat builders and craftsmen the world over. But not all teak furniture is the same.
Teak furniture poses a dilemma for the environmentally conscious consumer. Reforest Teak is the answer.

Meet our Executive Director David HankinsEmail:firstname.lastname@example.com
David E. Hankins was born the second son of Herbert and Holly Hankins in Alameda, California on June 9, 1950. His family moved back to Texas soon after his birth and David grew up in Dallas County attending local public schools. He has three brothers and one sister. His father is deceased and his mother is retired.
After graduating Mesquite High School, Mesquite, Texas, David attended Dallas Baptist University where he earned the BA degree in Religion in 1972. He continued his education for ministry at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary earning the MDiv degree in 1976 and PhD in 1981. The masters program was a broad based theological education including Hebrew and Greek with the addition of basic Clinical Pastoral Education at Baylor University Medical Center in 1976.
David was exposed to the teaching of Christ all of his life. His father was a Baptist deacon. His late maternal grandfather was a Baptist pastor for over sixty years. In 1963, David received Christ as his personal savior and was baptized into a Southern Baptist Church. At the age of seventeen, he responded to a call from God and publicly committed his life to the gospel ministry. David was licensed to preach soon thereafter and was ordained on September 20, 1970.
On January 4, 1969, David was married to the former Patricia Ann Thorpe. They now have three grown sons and 11 grandchildren. Patty is a cum laude graduate of Dallas Baptist University (BS in Nursing, 1982), a Registered Nurse by training, and served as Women's Ministry Coordinator at Two Rivers Baptist Church in Nashville, Tennessee (2000-2003).

Pat H.Melbourne, FLHairBlondeCurly HairFine or Thin HairChemically Treated HairVery Good Ironthis little flat iron is very good; heats up quickly and does the job. I love it on my short hair.posted Jun 3, 2013Link to this post
SarahHairThick or Coarse HairSynthetic HairWould Have Been Great, But Broke Almost ImmediatelyI bought this to help straighten out my short-ish, thick and naturally wavy hair so it'd blend in with my synthetic extensions better. Worked great for about 3 weeks until it spontaneously stopped working entirely - on/off switch still toggles, but it won't actually turn on and the light won't come on. It was fantastic while it worked but I can't recommend a product that broke so quickly!
posted Jan 13, 2013Link to this post -
KatrinaSouthern CaliforniaHairBlackThick or Coarse HairNot All That GreatWhen I received this product I was not too happy with the size...I know it said 'mini' but I was not expecting it to be travel size. The advertising label was misleading to me, it should have said 'travel size' not mini. I have very thick hair so I am very picky when it comes to the flat irons I purchased. This time around I was on a strict budget, I normally pay between $80-$100 on my flat irons (the mor expensive the better). I think Paul Mitchell is by far the best flat iron I've had. Baby Croc got the job done (barely), it made my hair frizzy and it kind of curled back up within minutes after straightening my hair. I was not satisfied.....until the next time I am able to get a better flat iron I guess this one will do =. If you have really thick hair like me ........this flat iron is probably not for you.posted Jan 3, 2013Link to this post
KarenGets The Job Done!I purchased this item for a four country trip to Europe (UK, France, Austria, Germany). The flat iron worked well in each country with the appropriate adapter. The small size and light weight make this Croc Baby Mini a perfect travel companion, although it is not the flat iron I would want to use on a daily basis at home. The free heat-safe case is a real plus: the iron can be quickly packed an put away into luggage after using. One thing you might find this travel iron lacking is varying temperature control. Nevertheless I found this to be a good value, a reliable product, and overall a great little travel flat iron.posted Aug 27, 2012Link to this post
Adam T.VirginiaHairAuburnNormal HairThick or Coarse HairReally Nice For The Price!Ok, let me first start out by saying i love Folica and their wicked sweet deals!!! I got this flat iron on sale, and they gave me a promo code so in total (shipping included) I paid $26 had this straightener!!! I've had it for a couple of weeks now and i must say, I really like it! I'm a guy with short hair and use/have used flat irons daily for the past 5 years. It doesn't have that "cheap" feel I've got from other (more expensive) flat irons when i make a pass. I'm not a "Professional" by any means but anyone that's used a lot of different flat irons knows exactly what i'm talking about. The plates are super smooth and retain heat really well which straightens hair with fewer passes and leaves the ends smooth as well with no kinking/krimping. The roll up carrying case it comes with also doubles as a heat resistant mat to place it on!
There are a few things to keep in mind though...
1. There is there is no dial or temperature setting, which I didn't know, but am totally ok with because it gets super hot, super fast. So no biggie there...
2. If you are like me, and OCD about keeping things neat and clean, I suggest you DON'T get the white one. Don't get me wrong, it is uber sleek looking, but it will show EVERY speck of dirt! Lol.
3. The plates (on the white model) are white also. And only after a couple of weeks use, they've already started to get a brownish tint to them from the heat.
Overall, this is an exceptional product that i would definitely recommend!posted Jun 6, 2012Link to this post -
ConnieHairMedium BrownCurly HairColor Treated HairThe Colored Finish On The Product StainsI like the size of the baby croc, and it does a good job. Only draw back is that I ordered the red one and the colored finish on the iron actually stains whatever you lay it down on when it is heating. I have a white vanity top and it left red stains where ever I laid it down while I was using it. Difficult to remove the stains. I am now using an old wash cloth to lay it on. It is still leaving a stain. I thought it would stop after a couple of uses, but it hasn't. ????posted Feb 22, 2012Link to this post
TrishAtlanta GAHairBlondeCurly HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairPerfect For TravelI have a Croc Wet to Dry that I love, actually on my second one after 5 yrs of use. I travel a lot and wanted a smaller travel size. This is perfect size and quality. I was concerned because all the reviews said great for short/medium hair. I have long thick hair but it work great. The bold hot pink color really pops on the bathroom counter and makes me smile, love it. I will say that if I didn't already brow my hair out straight that is small iron would not work well on my thick long hair (it would take way too long to do). Perfect for the touch up's after blown out or after a long day that doesn't end.posted Feb 17, 2012Link to this post
MadelineHairBlackColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairBaby CrocI purchased this product based on the positive reviews I read. I have shorter, thin dark hair and this mini is perfect for me! It has one heat setting, which I was concerned about, but heats sufficiently hot enough. For my needs I needed nothing more. And, it comes in the cutest case and bag. I am 100% satisfied with my choice.posted Jan 19, 2012Link to this post
SandraHairLight BrownDry HairCurly HairColor Treated HairBest Flat Ironi love this flat iron ! this is my first time using it and im in love. it heats up really fast and keeps my hair straight all day. with my old flat iron i would constantly have to flat iron my hair because my hair just would not stay straight. after a few minutes it would get POOFY. this flat iron keeps my hair straight all day, even when its HUMID(: outside.i recommend this to my friends and now they have one.posted May 29, 2011Link to this post

Happy Music Monday! To celebrate the crash of autumn, we're going to be shakin' it all day today. This week we're looking at dance fads that came from songs. Catchy + choreographed = million seller, right? At least in the case of these musicians it was! We'll start with the dance so nice, it charted thrice:
The Locomotion
Like most pop songs, this one came from the mind of Carole King herself. In 1962, everyone WAS doing the brand new dance that Little Eva brought them. But when Grand Funk Railroad brought it back to #1 in the '70s? It most certainly wasn't new. And don't even get us started on Kylie Minogue's version. It charted twice, Kylie! It wasn't new at all! PEOPLE KNEW YOU WERE LYING!
Oooookay. Well, Scott's very passionate about his dance music, we suppose. After the jump, you'll find four more songs celebrating the moves born from music. Join us, won't you?
Before we go any further, remember our Spotify playlist will be featuring a great selection from last week's Music Monday comments. The theme of the mix this time is Songs About The Radio and we think you'll tune it in… and leave it there. But before you start reminiscing, check out our current Music Monday. See you after the jump?
The Percolator
If Mr. Curtis Jones had not skipped out on his Master's, the world might never have known was time it was. This pop-wiggle of a dance was born from a little bit of sex appeal and a little bit of Maxwell House. Even today, you might find club kids who'll percolate when the time is right.
The Running Man
Perhaps one of the strangest fad dances, The Running Man turns jogging in place into a dance move. And while it does make baggy silken pants flap like eagle's wings, it's not the sort of dance that's proven to stand the test of time. However the controversial story of its inventor is both beautiful and tragic.
The Hustle
Even today, Van McCoy's masterpiece of an era is used to capture the gilded overproduction of disco. Maybe the genius is in the complete lack of a description. What is a hustle? How do you do it? It's completely up to the listener to figure it out! Is it any wonder people rush to this song as fast as they can?
Souja Boy
This slightly-NSFW lyrics 2000-era dance might not be very complex (you might figure it out before the chorus even hits) but it's at least as respectable as, say, The Mashed Potato. Face it, there have been some dumb dances over the years.
And here's your chance to prove it! Add your favorite dance craze songs in our comments below and help us build the finest party mix ever. Also feel free to drop in like it's hot and visit our Turntable.fm room for the regular Music Monday enjoyment.
The Twist by Chubby Checker ! If you don't know this one, you've been spending too much time under a rock. The song was written and originally released in 1959 by Hank Ballard and the Midnighters as a B-side. Chubby's version hit #1 a year later, and the twist craze began! It also hit no. 1 again in 1962! Got the American Bandstand clip (D ick Clark!) and a second clip with the Fat Boys below! (one of my favs!).
I didn't want to do it, but I felt like I had to: Achy Breaky
You can not have a dance mix without the Cha Cha Slide by Mr. C. I don't know who to embed the video
The dance fad that sprang to my mind was "The Bump" from the '70s. I couldn't recall any specific song, but according to Wikipedia, it was The Bump by Kenny (who?).
You all know that no wedding reception would be complete without the YMCA, Macarena, or the Electric Slide (even if you don't want to remember some of them).
The Dougie. I will never look at Glen "Big Baby" Davis the same. Dang YouTube!
Don't forget the Stroll...
If you dig way back there's the Madison (revived via Hairspray) or how about (Willie and the) Hand Jive? The Bunny-Hop? The Alley Cat? The Hokey Pokey? Dear God, I need to be stopped NOW...
...Mickey's Monkey, The Freddy, The Watusi, The Pony...
I can't help but feel i've fallen on this song before in the past but Digital Underground - Humpty Dance Does walk like an egyptian count? I don't know.

"strawhousepig credits Anthrax with the mosh is that true?" Well, not what was slam dancing, which came from pogo dancing. But I'd never heard it called moshing until that album came out. After Caught In A Mosh that's all it was called. Not that I was all that hip at the time or that I didn't live in BFE...

Honey Boo Boo has gone to Washington.
WASHINGTON – Honey Boo Boo has gone to Washington.
The Georgia girl who's become a cable TV sensation was in D.C. this week with her family members for a book signing, The Huffington Post reports.
Her Facebook page shows the group making a visit outside the White House.
She also was seen at the Smithsonian's Air and Space Museum, according to amused Tweeters.

The book signing for Honey Boo Boo — whose real name is Alana Thompson — was scheduled for Thursday at the Tysons Corner Center Barnes & Noble, HuffPo says. Family members were to sign copies of "How to Honey Boo Boo: The Complete Guide on How to Redneckognize the Honey Boo Boo in You."
The show featuring the family's antics returns to TLC next week.
