Arguing about Global Warming is difficult. Scientific argument should be about examining hypothesis, critically reviewing data, both supporting and contradicting said hypothesis, addressing concerns (scientific concerns) of opponents in the way that satisfies them, developing scientifically irrefutable proof. I can go on.
None of this seems to be happening around Global Warming. Instead, most of the arguments, on both sides, seem to be highly politicized, emphasizing data that supports one point of view and suppressing or ignoring the data that supports the other point of view.
It resembles religious debate more than a scientific one. It comes as no surprise that several people, apparently as frustrated about this as I am, have called Global Warming a religion.
I am biased towards the skeptics in this debate, because it seems to me that falsifications, and arguments appealing to emotions rather than facts, seem to reside more on the side of Global Warming proponents. And the skeptics seem to appeal to scientific facts and proof more. Probably because they have to fight an uphill battle against the government organizations, U.N., Greenpeace and wide variety of environmental activist groups that have a lot to gain from Global Warming becoming "settled science".
Let's examine some of the data that makes Global Warming a controversy.
We'll start with the interview given by Dr Phil Jones to BBC. Dr Jones is the director of the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia (UEA). Those of you who read liberal press exclusively, have probably missed the scandal around emails from UEA, which exposed some irregular practices around handling weather data. Conservative press made a big deal out of it, and rightly so, but in most of liberal press this story, nicknamed "climategate", hardly got a passing mention. What you need to know before we dive into dissecting the interview is that CRU data is one of main sources of information on climate change, heavily used in Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 2007 report. We will talk more about this report later, let's get back to Dr Jones. He is, of course, among supporters of Global Warming, so asking him questions like Do you believe in Global Warming? is about as silly as analyzing his answers to such questions. We'll focus on questions that are far more interesting:
Q: Do you agree that according to the global temperature record used by the IPCC, the rates of global warming from 1860-1880, 1910-1940 and 1975-1998 were identical?
This is a very important question. The period 1975-1998 is flagged as the period with major increase in effects of man-made Global Warming
A: … I have also included the trend over the period 1975 to 2009, which has a very similar trend to the period 1975-1998. So, in answer to the question, the warming rates for all 4 periods are similar and not statistically significantly different from each other.
OK, so 1860-1880, 1910-1940, 1975-1998, 1975-2009 – all these periods had similar trend in global temperature change. No recent anomalies due to man-made effects. This bears repeating: no significant recent Global Warming, that would differ in trend or in rate from earlier periods. Remember "hockey stick"? It was a lie. More on that later. This is a very serious concession. Equivalence of modern trend to any previous period was not something that Global Warming proponents previously publicly acknowledged.
Q: Do you agree that from 1995 to the present there has been no statistically-significant global warming?
A: Yes, but only just. I also calculated the trend for the period 1995 to 2009. This trend (0.12C per decade) is positive, but not significant at the 95% significance level. The positive trend is quite close to the significance level.
Let's look at this question in conjunction with the next one
Q: Do you agree that from January 2002 to the present there has been statistically significant global cooling?
A: No. This period is even shorter than 1995-2009. The trend this time is negative (-0.12C per decade), but this trend is not statistically significant.
Of course he wouldn't agree. That's a Do you believe in Global Warming? type of question. But note something else – his choice of words. The positive trend is "quite close to significance level". Nothing of a kind is said about negative trend. BOTH TRENDS ARE IDENTICAL: +0.12C per decade, and -0.12C per decade, respectively. If one is close to significance level, so is the other.
Q: There is a debate over whether the Medieval Warm Period (MWP) was global or not. If it were to be conclusively shown that it was a global phenomenon, would you accept that this would undermine the premise that mean surface atmospheric temperatures during the latter part of the 20th Century were unprecedented?
A: There is much debate over whether the Medieval Warm Period was global in extent or not. The MWP is most clearly expressed in parts of North America, the North Atlantic and Europe and parts of Asia. For it to be global in extent the MWP would need to be seen clearly in more records from the tropical regions and the Southern Hemisphere. There are very few palaeoclimatic records for these latter two regions.
Of course, if the MWP was shown to be global in extent and as warm or warmer than today (based on an equivalent coverage over the NH and SH) then obviously the late-20th century warmth would not be unprecedented. On the other hand, if the MWP was global, but was less warm that today, then current warmth would be unprecedented.
This is also a big thing. Take a look at "battle of the graphs"
The top graph is the famous "hockey stick" – Northern Hemisphere mean temperature change graph, which has been referred to by Al Gore in his famous presentation and film. The hockey stick has since been successfully disputed and proven to be over-dramatised. The bottom graph shows the average temperature in Northern Hemisphere over same time period as the hockey stick, but according to newer research.
See the big bump around 1200? That's the peak of MWP, which obviously could not have been caused by any man-made activities. Why is MWP not considered global? There is no data for southern hemisphere for that period. Probability that it was global is, actually, pretty high, which is why most Global Warming proponents exhibit great scientific integrity and insist that MWP was purely local. It is also interesting that all historical models built by pro-Global Warming researchers assume that MWP was not global. Why? It shows better numbers to support Global Warming, that's why. That is not how I was taught to do science.
Q: Do you agree that natural influences could have contributed significantly to the global warming observed from 1975-1998, and, if so, please could you specify each natural influence and express its radiative forcing over the period in Watts per square metre?
A: …Natural influences (from volcanoes and the Sun) over this period could have contributed to the change over this period. Volcanic influences from the two large eruptions (El Chichon in 1982 and Pinatubo in 1991) would exert a negative influence. Solar influence was about flat over this period. Combining only these two natural influences, therefore, we might have expected some cooling over this period.
This is interesting, in that it's simply not true. Solar activity has been increasing since 19th century, and in the period where it was actually being measured (since late 1970s), it has been increasing by 0.5% per decade.
UPDATE: I seem to have misread the article, it's .05%, not 0.5%. Other resources show it to be 0.1%. Not flat, as Dr Jones stated, but not as dramatic as I first thought.
This one is priceless, folks:
Q: If you agree that there were similar periods of warming since 1850 to the current period, and that the MWP is under debate, what factors convince you that recent warming has been largely man-made?
A: The fact that we can't explain the warming from the 1950s by solar and volcanic forcing – see my answer to your question D (Starik: the question above)
Did you get this? They have no explanation for it, therefore it has to be man-made. Where was the last time I heard this kind of argument? About 10 years ago, talking to a religious fanatic, who was trying to convince me that since there are things that modern science cannot explain, the only logical conclusion from that fact is that Jesus is my savior. Tell me again, is Global Warming a science or a religion?
Q: When scientists say "the debate on climate change is over", what exactly do they mean – and what don't they mean?
A: It would be supposition on my behalf to know whether all scientists who say the debate is over are saying that for the same reason. I don't believe the vast majority of climate scientists think this. This is not my view. There is still much that needs to be undertaken to reduce uncertainties, not just for the future, but for the instrumental (and especially the palaeoclimatic) past as well.
This is another first. Remember all the statements we heard from politicians that "science is solid", "debate is over", "scientific debate has now closed"? Here is one of the top-of-the-food-chain pro-Global Warming scientists, telling you, that majority of climate scientists, including himself, do not share that opinion. The debate is not over, and the science isn't settled.
This one is a bit lengthy, but probably most important, read carefully:
Q: Let's talk about the e-mails now: In the e-mails you refer to a "trick" which your critics say suggests you conspired to trick the public? You also mentioned "hiding the decline" (in temperatures). Why did you say these things?
A: This remark has nothing to do with any "decline" in observed instrumental temperatures. The remark referred to a well-known observation, in a particular set of tree-ring data, that I had used in a figure to represent large-scale summer temperature changes over the last 600 years.
The phrase 'hide the decline' was shorthand for providing a composite representation of long-term temperature changes made up of recent instrumental data and earlier tree-ring based evidence, where it was absolutely necessary to remove the incorrect impression given by the tree rings that temperatures between about 1960 and 1999 (when the email was written) were not rising, as our instrumental data clearly showed they were.
This "divergence" is well known in the tree-ring literature and "trick" did not refer to any intention to deceive – but rather "a convenient way of achieving something", in this case joining the earlier valid part of the tree-ring record with the recent, more reliable instrumental record.
So, this is what happened: the tree ring data, was used as a reliable source for temperature information over last 600 years. However, when the tree ring data from 1960-1999 was compared to actual instrumental measurements, the tree ring data was showing temperature as flat or declining, while the instruments were showing temperature increase. So, the tree ring data for that period was deleted and replaced with instrumental measurements.
OK, is it just me, or do you also get a WTF moment, reading this? If the tree ring data just flat contradicts the instrumental measurements for the same period, what makes us believe the tree ring data for previous 600 years was correct? How do we know there isn't the same contradiction there? Or, maybe, the problem is with the instrumental measurements and the tree ring data is correct? There are serious reasons to doubt the instrumental measurements.
Ross McKitrick, University of Guelph, Canada:
We concluded, with overwhelming statistical significance, that the IPCC's climate data are contaminated with surface effects from industrialisation and data quality problems. These add up to a large warming bias.
Take a look at this map. What you see here are the weather stations in the US. These are the stations that provide data on temperatures, later used by the CRU, and IPCC. Blue color marks stations with measurement error of less than one degree. Orange marks stations with measurement error greater than 2 degrees. What color dominates this map? Take a look at the two photos at the bottom of the page, and compare the data trend from correctly placed station, and from a station placed right above the parking lot. Can you guess which one is blue, and which one is orange? More about that in Segment 7 of John Coleman's Meltdown documentary:
Maybe, we should believe the tree rings that Dr Jones so eagerly discarded to "hide the decline" more than his instrumental measurements?
There's more. Here's Dr. Christy, a climatologist, working for NASA, explaining that the surface temperature dataset is not consistent with the data measured from satellites since 1970s, as well as a reference to Argos buoys program detecting cooling of the ocean water temperatures, inconsistent with global warming predictions:
Now let's talk about our "heroes", the Nobel Peace Prize recipients for their efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change, and to lay the foundations for the measures that are needed to counteract such change, Al Gore and the IPCC:
I already discussed the "hockey stick" lie. Unfortunately, it's not the only thing that's wrong with their "settled science".
Remember this photo:
Al Gore used it to tell a touching story of polar bears plight in global warming, remember?
It's a lie. Here's the real story behind this photo:
And here's what actually is happening to polar bears – their population "may now be near historic highs"
Oh, and speaking of polar, remember the statements about Arctic ice melting, and Antarctic ice in danger as well? Also a lie. Both Arctic and Antarctic ice covers are actually growing.
Oh, and speaking of ice, remember the Himalayan glacier that is supposed to melt by 2035? How about by 2350 instead? Or maybe, not at all?
The most glaring mistake in the 2007 report is the claim that Himalayan glaciers could disappear by 2035, several IPCC authors say. That claim wasn't based on any peer-reviewed scientific paper, but on a decade-old interview given by an Indian glacier expert. Some within the IPCC suggest the mistake may be a typo traced back to a 1996 U.N.-sponsored study—which also wasn't peer-reviewed—that said the glaciers would disappear by 2350.
Wait, the IPCC's report, supposedly all peer-reviewed and representing most solid climate science had claims based on an interview that mixed up dates? Yep. And not just that.
The interview was given by Dr Syed Hasnain, and referred only to glaciers in central and eastern Himalayas. Dr Hasnain has never repeated this claim in a peer-reviewed publication, and since then has commented that his statement was "speculative". IPCC repeated the original claim, and expanded it to cover entire Himalayan glacier. When a leading Indian glacier expert, Dr Raina, spoke up about absurdity of this date, chairman of IPCC Dr Pachauri (he's the guy who stood next to Al Gore, receiving the Nobel Prize on behalf of IPCC) dismissed him, and called his statements "voodoo science". It got to the point that India will now basically ignore IPCC and establishes its own organization to monitor "global warming" effects.
And what is, one may ask, Dr Pachauri's scientific background that allows him to determine what is or isn't real science? He has a PhD degree in … Industrial Engineering and Economics … Apparently this qualifies someone to become chairman of U.N. climate research body. That makes me trust IPPCC's credibility so much more.
There's more:
One of the most widely quoted and most alarmist passages in the main 2007 report was a warning that, by 2020, global warming could reduce crop yields in some countries in Africa by 50 per cent. Dr Pachauri not only allowed this claim to be included in the short Synthesis Report, of which he was co-editor, but has publicly repeated it many times since.
The origin of this claim was a report written for a Canadian advocacy group by Ali Agoumi, a Moroccan academic who draws part of his current income from advising on how to make applications for "carbon credits". As his primary sources he cited reports for three North African governments. But none of these remotely supported what he wrote. The nearest any got to providing evidence for his claim was one for the Moroccan government, which said that in serious drought years, cereal yields might be reduced by 50 per cent. The report for the Algerian government, on the other hand, predicted that, on current projections, "agricultural production will more than double by 2020
Watch this interview with Prof Robert Watson, Chief Scientist for the department of the Environment in the U.K., who preceeded Dr Pachauri as chairman of the IPCC. Do you find him reassuring and believable? He begins by saying "the evidence is absolutely solid" and then cannot refer to one bit of untainted evidence:
Notice a pattern yet? IPCC cherry-picked and presented as science non-peer-reviewed speculative opinions, generalizing them even further. In fact, the original drafts of the IPCC report were so bad that one of the reviewers, Dr Andrew Lacis of the NASA Goddard Institute (who was at the time, and maybe still is, pro-Global Warming) had this to say:
There is no scientific merit to be found in the Executive Summary. The presentation sounds like something put together by Greenpeace activists and their legal department. The points being made are made arbitrarily with legal sounding caveats without having established any foundation or basis in fact. The Executive Summary seems to be a political statement that is only designed to annoy greenhouse skeptics. Wasn't the IPCC Assessment Report intended to be a scientific document that would merit solid backing from the climate science community – instead of forcing many climate scientists into having to agree with greenhouse skeptic criticisms that this is indeed a report with a clear and obvious political agenda. Attribution can not happen until understanding has been clearly demonstrated. Once the facts of climate change have been established and understood, attribution will become self-evident to all. The Executive Summary as it stands is beyond redemption and should simply be deleted.
There's an interesting documentary by John Coleman, one of the founders of the Weather Channel – Global Warming: The Other Side, and Global Warming: Meltdown. The documentaries are pretty long. If you aren't willing to spend the time, watch at least Segment 3 (debunking Al Gore's claims):
and Segment 4, part 1 (explains ridiculous manipulations with weather station data to show more warming: 6000 measurement points for "baseline" were compared with 1500 measurement points, derived by systematic removal of data from colder areas):
Over the past few months I had several half-conversations, half-arguments with my pro-Global Warming friends, some in person, some by email, some in blog comments, of which I want to address the following claims:
- Frequency and severity of both tornadoes and hurricanes has risen sharply since the 50s.
Don't know about hurricanes, but in regard to tornadoes this is simply not true. Even IPCC doesn't believe this to be true and states in their report: There is insufficient evidence to determine whether trends exist in small scale phenomena such as tornadoes, hail, lighting, and dust storms. In fact, if we look at statistics for violent tornadoes in the US, they appear to be decreasing since 1950s.
- Little Ice Age was caused by a volcanic eruption (and so was the winter of 1812).
The cause of Little Ice Age has not been established. Volcanic eruptions are one of the hypotheses. Other suspects – lows in solar radiation and ocean current changes. There's even a theory that Little Ice Age was caused by the decrease in the population as a result of Black Death, and subsequent forestation of large parts of European farmlands. I am surprised that my friends didn't pick this over volcanic activity. Claiming that Little Ice Age was man-made global cooling would be very much in line with their beliefs. Here's where it gets funny. I made a mistake in our conversation, and referred to winters of 1812 and 1941 as examples of extreme weather fluctuations that clearly weren't man-made.My friends chose to ignore the winter of 1941 and attributed winter of 1812 to volcanic activity. With no reference to any supporting evidence, of course. I read up on it a little, and found no evidence that the winter of 1812 was actually any colder than usual :). The only place where it apparently was cold, was in the memoirs of retreating French soldiers, who were not ready for any Russian winter, cold or not. I do not want to think of my friends as people who would invent evidence, but it looks like they were seriously misled in this case.
- I lack even basic understanding of how the weather works.
This was a response to my many references to colder weather last couple of winters in the context of my anti-Global Warming comments. I have responded to that several times, but in the interest of putting everything in one entry, here it is. Folks, you can't have it both ways. If colder winters are not evidence against Global Warming, then warmer winters in exact same area are not evidence for it, either. And if winters are supposed to be colder in Global Warming (makes no sense, but I'm willing to humor it), then warmer winters in exact same area are evidence against global warming. Consider my references to colder weather as "payback" for all the references to warmer weather done by pro-Global Warming politicians. Watch this. If you choose to whine that weather is not climate and it's stupid to use weather as evidence, and if you have an ounce of integrity left, call your elected representatives and tell them how stupid you consider them to be. Better yet, vote them out. 2010 sounds like a good year to do it. And cancel your subscriptions to liberal newspapers too, because obviously they have no idea what they are writing about, either.
- And what's your stake in this anyway? You don't own a coal-fired power plant, right?
Apart from firmly believing that government intervention in business (which is what the outcome of all Global Warming discussions is – government power-grab for more regulation) is bad, this stuff is going to negatively affect me personally. And if you live in US, it will affect you too. Mostly negatively. Here's just one example.
In addition to references in the post, I want to give h/t to several sites, on whose posts I built some of my analysis, and without whose material and pointers this post would not be written:

DMZ - A FATE Core Space Opera
Welcome to the DMZ
Millennia from now, the ring drive has allowed humanity has to spread across the Orion-Cygnus arm of the Milky Way, settling millions of worlds and the spaces between. The further humanity traveled away from Earth in time and space, the further they left behind the upright apes they had been, and the further they drifted from each other.
Biological modifications, cybernetics and cognitive enhancements changed how humanity looked, what they could do, and even the way they thought. Philosophical, political and economic advances changed how societies were structured. Nor was it just the descendants of homo sapiens anymore – Artificial Intelligence and uplifted animals joined the transhuman family.
Their shared Terran heritage ensures that this family is reasonably close knit – still able to communicate with each other despite the fact that some them breathe vacuum, or are descended from old Earth octopi. No matter how weird the cousins get, they aren't as weird as the aliens. When humanity left Earth, they found a universe teeming with life – but it was so…. well, alien, that it was often hard to recognise it as life at all.
And, like all families, transhumanity fights. One of these squabbles – a thousand years of brushfire conflicts, police actions, economic sanctions and memetic warfare between three loose transhuman coalitions culminated in the iron bombing of Pi^4 Orionis. Realising that things had gotten out of hand, a 50 light year Demilitarized Zone was declared.
Several centuries later, the DMZ is a lawless frontier – where the right crew, in the right ship, can get rich….or die trying.

Article in "Bioinformatics" published in collaboration with scientists from Technical University of Munich and Helmholtz Zentrum München
Martinsried/Munich, 16 September 2016. Medigene AG (MDG1, Frankfurt, Prime Standard), a clinical stage immuno-oncology company focusing on the development of T-cell immunotherapies for the treatment of cancer, announced that a scientific article on the assessment of cancer and virus antigens for cross-reactivity in human tissues has been published in the current issue of "Bioinformatics" (Oxford Journals: doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/btw567). The research results show how closely matching naturally occurring self-antigens for a given sequence of a therapeutic antigen (or epitope) can be predicted by an algorithm using curated datasets. After filtering for predicted immunogenicity, the output results show up as an index and profile of cross-reactivity to the self-antigens in 22 human tissues. This innovative prediction tool allows Medigene to analyze safety and toxicity issues of TCR candidates at an early stage.
Compared to "Expitope", the well-established bioinformatic tool elaborated by the same collaboration between TUM and Medigene, the "iCrossR" algorithm published here works on actual peptide expression levels and advances the analysis to a higher level: Instead of basing the analysis on mRNA expression data, "iCrossR" directly investigates the actual protein data in 22 human tissues. The score resulting from such an analysis describes the potential risk of cross reactivity of TCR candidates against healthy tissues and helps to positively select those that are the most promising. Furthermore, "iCrossR" allows for sorting against potential off-target activity of TCRs caused by mismatches among epitopes.
Prof. Dr. Dolores J. Schendel, CEO and CSO of Medigene AG explains: "Cross-reactivity of epitopes can cause severe side effects in adoptive immunotherapies directed against selected antigens. With the new in silico research tool "iCrossR" described in this publication, we are able to predict cross-reactivity of on-target and off-target toxicities, helping us in the early selection of safer therapeutically relevant target antigens. "
Prof. Dmitrij Frishman, Lab Head of the Department of Bioinformatics at the Technical University Munich (TUM) and working group leader in Institute of Bioinformatics and System Biology (IBIS) at Helmholtz Zentrum München, adds: "In this work, we exclusively focused on assessing the antigens binding to the MHC-I molecules, as this mechanism of immune response involves natural peptides originating inside the cell. Our protocol is aimed to help in development of better immunotherapies, to improve safety, and to avoid or minimize undesirable autoimmune side effects."
The article entitled "Assessment of cancer and virus antigens for cross-reactivity in human tissues" can be found here online: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27614350 .
The results have been generated in a research alliance since 2013 between Prof. Dmitrij Frishman and his scientific co-workers, in close cooperation with Prof. Dolores J. Schendel, CEO and CSO of Medigene AG and her research team.
About Medigene's TCR technology:
The TCR technology aims at arming the patient's own T cells with tumor-specific T-cell receptors. The receptor-modified T cells are then able to detect and efficiently kill tumor cells. This immunotherapy approach attempts to overcome the patient's tolerance towards cancer cells and tumor-induced immunosuppression by activating and modifying the patient's T cells outside the body (ex-vivo). A large number of specific T cells to fight the tumor is thereby made available to patients within a short period of time.
Medigene's technology for T-cell receptor-modified T cells is one of the company's highly innovative and complementary immunotherapy platforms for adoptive T-cell therapy. The TCR therapy is designed to treat patients with high tumor loads. Medigene is preparing the clinical development of its first TCR candidates and is developing a library of recombinant T-cell receptors. Moreover, a Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP)-compliant process for their combination with patient-derived T cells is currently being established. Medigene plans to commence its first own clinical TCR trials in 2017 and a second in 2018.
Medigene AG is a publicly listed (Frankfurt: MDG1, prime standard) biotechnology company headquartered in Martinsried near Munich, Germany. The company is developing highly innovative complementary treatment platforms to target various types and stages of cancer with candidates in clinical and pre-clinical development. Medigene concentrates on the development of personalized T cell-based immunotherapies.

There are mystical and sacred places on Earth that are fascinating. For millennia, they have attracted us like magical bright spots. And often, the closer we get to them, the more the mystery deepens… This is the case of Giza where the three Egyptian pyramids and a strange statue in the form of a lion, the Sphinx, can be found.
The Great Pyramid of Giza, one of the 7 wonders of the world
The 3 pyramids of Giza and the legendary Sphinx offer an impressive sight. The Pyramids (Kheops, Kephren and Mykerinos) date back to the 4th dynasty of Egyptian pharaohs, i.e. more or less 2,500 years B.C.
The most imposing one – the Great Pyramid – is the biggest structure in the world ever built by Man. It features among the 7 wonders of the world. But it represents, first and foremost, one of the most ancient and complex enigmas…
These pyramids align exactly with the four cardinal points. Their construction required incredible technical know-how, and a deep understanding of architecture and engineering. But who ordered these constructions to be built? Was it the pharaoh Khephren? Or was it the pharaoh Kheops?
The Sphinx – a giant 65-feet-high (20 meters) and 240-feet-long (73 meters) statue – has the head of a pharaoh, but does it really represent one? And when was it sculpted? Some say it was built at the same time as the pyramids, 3,000 years before our own era. But no definite proof has ever been provided.
What secrets does Giza hold?
Officially, the 3 pyramids form what's called a necropolis: funerary monuments meant to house the corpses of Egyptian pharaohs after their death. In reality, the pyramids are far from being mere "tombs". Observing how these monuments were built is enough to be convinced of this.
Were the pyramid builders experts in astronomy?
On the Giza plateau, of the three pyramids, two are practically identical and are placed in a diagonal line. The third, however, stands off to the left of this diagonal line. What were the builders trying to say?
This disposition corresponds exactly to the positioning of the three stars that form the "Orion's belt" constellation: 2 large stars perfectly aligned and a third, smaller one slightly off to the left. The pyramids are a perfect reflection of this constellation! Orion's belt is represented the way it looked like 10,500 years before our era, even though the pyramids were supposed to have been built only 3,000 years before our era!
Was Giza constructed in a much more ancient time? Or did the builders have incredible knowledge of astronomy?
How were the Giza Pyramids built?
The Great Pyramid rises 42 stories into the sky and occupies and area equal to the size of 10 football fields. It is composed of approximately 2,500,000 blocks of stone that have been perfectly measured and trimmed, each weighing between 2.5 and 10 tons.
And yet, at the time, the Egyptians did not even know what a wheel was. They had no accurate measuring instruments, or any way of lifting and transporting thousands of blocks of stone. And yet the stones were lifted, transported over great distances, and then put into place with millimetric accuracy.
That's an exploit we can't reproduce today, even with all our modern technology. Scientists agree that without a very solid understanding of modern geology and engineering, such constructions are impossible. With their mass of many millions of tons, they would simply collapse under their own weight.
So how did the builders of the Giza pyramids succeed, at a time when humans had just emerged from the Stone Age?
What was the real role played by the 3 Pyramids of Giza?
People long believed that they were built as tombs, like many other pyramids. The problem is, no corpses, mummies or funerary inscriptions have ever been found in these three pyramids. This leads us to think that the pyramids of Giza were designed to be something else than tombs. In fact, they represent the transmission of ancient secret wisdom…

As many of you may be aware the State of Michigan Department of Health and Human Services sent out a letter informing all EMS Licensed Personnel, Instructor-Coordinators, Education Programs, Life Support Agencies, and Medical about the elimination of the requirement for Practical CE's. The letter said
"Effective for those EMS providers with a license expiration date of January 31, 2018 and later, practical continuing education credits will no longer be required. The only exception to this will be Special Considerations: Pediatric Medication Administration for Specialist/AEMT and Paramedic. There will not be any changes to the Instructor- Coordinator CE requirements."
We have received several inquiries about the change from our members. Here is some background on how the changes came about. At the May 19, 2017 Meeting of the Emergency Medical Services Coordination Committee (EMSCC) the Education Subcommittee of the EMSCC made a motion to drop the requirement for the Practical CE's siting that lack of evidence or data of better pt. outcomes with practical requirements for CE's.. The MPFFU has 3 members on the EMSCC and all three argued vigorously in opposition to the motion. It was and is our opinion that all skills, unless practiced on a regular basis, are perishable and finite. Over the objections of our members on the EMSCC the motion passed. Since the letter came out the State has received many calls in opposition to the change.
Just a few points of clarification. If your license is scheduled to expire prior to January 31, 2108 you will still be required to have the Required Practical CE credits even if don't apply for re-licensure after January 31. There is still one Practical Credit required for Specialist/AEMT and Paramedics: Pediatric Medication Administration. According to Terrie S. Godde, EMS Education Coordinator for MDHHS-Bureau of EMS, Trauma and Preparedness "While they will no longer be required for renewal of license, the skills are still important and should be practiced. You just no longer have to identify the practical portion of the CE on the application or CHIT". CE classes can now be all lecture, practical or a combination both.
If you have any addition questions or concerns you may contact the MDHHS-Bureau of EMS, Trauma and Preparedness, Division of EMS & Trauma - MAIN PHONE LINE: 517-241-3025

This is the first recipe I learned to make from the Rookie Cookie recipe insert in the news paper when I was a 12 yr old 38 years ago, WOW 38! It is a simple healthy no bake cookie treat. Especially nice for an after school snacks for the kids or a special surprise in a lunch box.
No-Bake Chocolate Oat Bars
Makes 16 to 20 bars
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 2 hours 15 minutes
1 cup butter
½ cup brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 cups rolled oats
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup dark chocolate chips
¾ cup chunky peanut butter
Line a 8-inch-by-8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, brown sugar and vanilla extract. Heat over low-heat, until the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved.
Add the oats, and salt. Cook, stirring constantly, for 4 to 5 minutes.
Pour half of the oat mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread out the mixture evenly, pressing down.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and the peanut butter. Heat on high in the microwave, in increments of 40 seconds, stirring in between each increment, until melted and fully combined.
Pour ⅘ of the chocolate mixture into the pan over the pressed oats, reserving about ¼ cup for drizzling. Top with the remaining oats and drizzle with the remaining ¼ cup chocolate mixture.
Refrigerate for 4 hours, or until set.

It's been so dry this year that dirt patches are overtaking city parks, and homeowners began sprinkling their yellow lawns weeks ago.
So when city fire hydrants begin gushing water this week at a rate of a million gallons a day into city streets, don't think Colorado Springs Utilities officials have lost their minds.
The hydrant flushing project, which flushes about a fifth of the city's 13,000 hydrants each year, won't jeopardize the city's water supply or contribute to the need for water restrictions, Utilities spokesman Steve Berry says.
"If we really felt it was an onerous situation, we wouldn't be doing that this year," he says.
Despite the flushing and a dam project that has reduced the city's transmountain storage capability, Utilities has ample water for a normal growing season, Berry says, promising there won't be a repeat of 2002 when drought conditions triggered water restrictions during what turned out to be the third driest year in more than a century, with only 7.84 inches of rain. Only two Dust Bowl years, 1939 and 1934, were drier.
It seems like a no-brainer to expect rationing, considering Colorado Springs has received .37 of an inch precipitation since January 1, or 22 percent of the normal 1.69 inches, the National Weather Service reports.
Adding to the problem are high temperatures. Along with dozens of cities in 25 states, Colorado Springs experienced higher-than-normal temperatures in March. The average high was nearly 64 degrees, compared to an average of 52 in a normal year. The average minimum was 32 in March, compared to 26 degrees in a normal year, according to the Weather Service.
All that led the Pueblo Board of Water Works last week to urge its customers to conserve by using drip lines, cutting lawns to no less than three inches and sweeping driveways instead of washing them off.
But Pueblo won't impose restrictions, and neither will Springs Utilities, despite a project to improve Homestake Reservoir, part of the city's transmountain system, which delivers water from the Colorado River basin to Colorado Springs. The reservoir, in the Holy Cross Wilderness area near Leadville, will be drained and the work will begin this summer. (Berry says the lake is already low enough that two snowmobiles have been found at the bottom, "but no Jimmy Hoffa.")
Utilities officials decided to move ahead on the $30 million project this year (Aurora is a partner in the project) after 2011 turned out to be a "pretty wet season," Berry says, with 16.24 inches of precipiation for the year, not far off the normal mark of 17.4 inches.
To compensate for the empty Homestake Reservoir, Utilities purchased additional storage space in Pueblo Reservoir. That water will be delivered to the Springs through the Fountain Valley Authority water line, Berry says.
While snowfall has been below normal in most of Colorado, except for the Sangre de Cristo range, Berry says local snowpack on Pikes Peak is a little above average. That means the North and South Catamount Reservoirs, lowered last year due to repairs on Montgomery Dam near Breckenridge, will likely return to normal levels this year.
Local storage is at 73 percent of capacity, Berry says, slightly more than the historic capacity of 70 percent, while the city's systemwide storage stands at 69 percent of capacity, compared to the historic level of 62 percent.
That the city doesn't plan restrictions won't keep the agency from reminding people to conserve.
"It's critical that we make sure we really preach that conservation message and people are wise with how they use water," Berry says. "The farther away we've gotten from the 2002 drought, it's human nature of getting back into old routines of using more water than you have to on your lawn and landscaping."
As for the hydrant flushing, Berry says the benefits to water quality and system reliability outweighed the dry-weather risk. The 10-week program starts next week in Briargate and Pine Creek.
Utilities officials said it's too expensive to capture the water and use it elsewhere, such as on parks.

text: I try to figure out whether the Xperia Arc has a gyroscope or not. After searching the web everywhere, I still can't conclude. Note that a 6-axis accelerometer or gyro (gyroscope) should be the same hardware-wise. But from my reading, I think your device needs to run Gingerbread for its gyro to be made available. Does anyone every tested his Xperia Arc (running Gingerbread) with some real application that make uses of the gyroscope? I would like to hear some actual facts from someone who really knows what he is talking about. Example of gyro-aware apps in the Application Market: Phone Tester Z-DeviceTest Gyroscope Rotate Ozo.

Concerned Group piles more pressure on NRU
Windhoek Namibian rugby has been thrown into further tumult following an ultimatum from a consortium of concerned rugby clubs. Ten clubs campaigning in the Namibia Rugby Union (NRU) premier and lower divisions, namely Dolphin, Kudu, NUST, Western Suburbs, Keetmanshoop, Reho Falcon, Unam, Pandas and Rehoboth rugby clubs tabled a notice on the 6th of October informing the NRU about their intention to withdraw from NRU activities in all the abovementioned leagues. "Due to a notice we received from the secretary of the National Assembly (NA), alerting us that the Standing Committee on Human Resources and Development received a communication from the Namibian Sports Commission (NSC) that the latter resolved to launch a thorough investigation into complaints filed by the aggrieved affiliates." The concerned clubs say the communication has prompted them to withdraw with immediate effect from all activities of the NRU up and until the said investigation is completed and the outcome is made known publicly. "Please take note that our players have been notified accordingly," reads the letter verbatim. Furthermore, the aggrieved members informed the NRU that they reserve all their rights as members of the union.

Granola Squares, Bars or Wedges: Does Shape Matter?
I discovered my all-time favorite granola bar at a Canadian lodge one Christmas about eight years ago. We were in the middle of nowhere and I figured out pretty quickly that I wasn't as good at cross-country skiing as I thought I would be, so I set up camp in the lodge with books, coffee and granola bars from the hotel's small snack bar. They were so incredibly perfect that the granola bars are my most vivid memory of that trip. Not the dog sleds or the ice skating — nope, the granola bars.
Granola bars have been on my mind a lot lately as I'm in the beginning stages of developing one for my company, Marge Granola. And while I have a recipe that I'm beginning to love, a whole host of other issues and questions have arisen from consultants and industry experts: namely, the shape.
When I speak to packaging specialists about the bars, there is a lot of pressure to decide whether I want a proper square, a bar, a wedge, a "nugget" (whatever that is) or a "single" — and each person I talk to insists it's a make-it-or-break-it choice. Yesterday I was on the phone for a solid ten minutes with a company that detailed how the consumer will taste the granola bar and enjoy it in a different way, based on their emotional connection with the shape.
So I'd honestly love to hear what you think: do you care what shape your granola bars come in? Do you have a favorite shape to slice them into when you make them at home? Is this all a lot of worry over nothing? (And it's quite possible I'm in this camp.)

Winners Announcement:
Honorable Mentions
Mark Ethridge
P.T. says: Science fiction that isn't that far from reality and a car that talks to you, what's not to love? (And I'll admit that I loved Knight Rider and this made me think of KITT.)
Louisa Bacio | @LouisaBacio
P.T. says: Great use of the senses and I love that it shows the sexual side of a married couple. (And I love how the last line reflects how story starts with the dead and moves on to the passion of the living.)
Kel Heinen | @Aightball
P.T. says: Very realistic. I could see the scene unfold but it was the unexpected reveal that it was Daddy that was dealing with the temper tantrum that kicked it up a notch.
Bill Engleson | @billmelaterplea
P.T. says: I love the poem. It was something different and I love the rhythm of it and the message in the words.
Now it's time to go, my friends,
now it's time to go.
The tides of change are rising fast,
And the devil's on the cusp.
Your neighbour may not be like you;
There's no one you can trust.
There was a time, or so he says,
When life was great and sweet.
You'd step outside your honeycomb
and walk safely in the street.
But now we are a different land,
This is not the time to share.
With floods and wars and droughts at hand,
It's all too much to bear.
Now it's time to go my friends,
Now it's time to go.
The floodgates have been released,
The good earth's turned to dust,
and your neighbour may not be like you;
There's no one you can trust.
The old men talk of a simpler time,
when we all were the same.
But even if that was a big fat lie
we'd sure like it back again.
For now we are a greedy land,
and we want more than our fair share.
But with floods and wars and droughts at hand,
It's really too much to bear.
So now it's time to go, my friends,
now it's really time to go.
The walls of change are rising fast,
our hearts are coarse with crust.
And If you listen to the trumpeter,
he'll have you believing he's all you can trust,
but there's no one you can trust,
but maybe you can trust yourself…
Congratulations TWELVE TIME WINNER Bill, Mark, Louisa, and Kel! Don't forget to claim your badges and display them with pride. You certainly earned it!
Pass on the great news on Twitter, Facebook, Google Plus, shiny mirrors, Morse Code, and signal flags. Check out all the original tales HERE. Thanks for stopping by and happy reading! :)

Blog post takeaways:
- Rose Bengal (PV-10)/PV-10 (Rose Bengal) induces/generates/creates/leads to anti-tumor immunity. To some the so-called Holy Grail of cancer therapy is achieving durable [system- or body-wide] anti-tumor immunity in a cancer patient.
- PV-10 can prime the immune system (through the direction injection of the compound into cancerous lesions), and help it defeat distant cancerous lesions around the body.
- The compound exposes antigens to the immune system that otherwise would not be exposed, or that otherwise would escape detection by (and thus presentation to) the immune system.
- PV-10 can help with T cell generation & circulation, even after treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors fails.
- UIC's work reproduced Moffitt Cancer Center's (Moffitt's) work, which reproduced Provectus' founders' work.
- UIC's work that contributed to their paper was funded in part by a grant (non-specific to Provectus and PV-10) from the National Institutes of Health.
Recall that Provectus has a two-prong approach to fighting (killing) cancer: (i) local effect/tumor ablation (anti-tumor cytotoxicity) and (ii) systemic effect/tumor-specific immune response (induction of anti-tumor immunity)
|Click to enlarge. Image source
UIC and Moffitt independently reproduced the veracity of both prongs:
|Click to enlarge. Image source
UIC's paper reviews PV-10's agnosticity in destroying tumors into which it is injected (i.e., anti-tumor cytotoxicity):
- Melanoma,
- Breast cancer,
- Ovarian cancer,
- Gastric cancer, and
- Sarcoma.
The paper discusses PV-10's agnosticity in generating anti-tumor immunity resulting from local tumor injection (i.e., from resultant anti-tumor cytotoxicity):
- Melanoma,
- Breast cancer, and
- Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
The UIC team appears to have conducted murine model work on PV-10 in HCC, noting "Our current research is establishing the role of RB in generating anti-tumor immune responses in gastrointestinal cancer and liver metastases:"
"Furthermore, in syngeneic orthotopic models of murine hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), RB similarly induced chemoablation in all treated tumors. Twenty-one to 81 days after RB treatment, when re-challenged with the same tumor, durable immunity was demonstrated in 14/14 animals without measurable tumor formation, whereas B16-F10 melanoma tumors, i.e., non-HCC cells, were able to be established in 13/13 animals [20]. Additionally, immunity to establishment of a new HCC tumor could be created through adoptive transfer of splenocytes from treated animals. This was an interesting finding given that analysis of splenic composition from animals with B16 melanoma that experienced distant lung tumor regression after RB treatment of flank tumors did not demonstrate any difference in the percent of T cells, Tregs, NK cells, B cells, myeloid derived suppressor cells, or macrophages [15]. The authors further demonstrated that bystander lesions disappeared or decreased in size in HCC models, whereas, no bystander tumors were ever observed to resolve in nude mice without a competent T-cell immune system. These experiments established that, similar to melanoma, in immunocompetent mice with orthotopic primary hepatocellular carcinoma flank tumors, an anti-tumor response can be induced by priming the animals with RB treatment of tumors. These experiments raise the possibility that RB induced cytotoxicity exposes antigens and mounts an immune response that may protects animals from additional tumor formation that can be adoptively transferred to other animals using splenocytes." {Underlined and bolded emphasis is mine}
Speaking of antigens, it's all about the antigens:
"These experiments established that in human and murine melanoma and breast cancer, there appeared to be an antigen-driven T-cell response that has the potential to activate T-cells and impart antitumor responses in bystander lesions and distant metastases."Why are antigens important? Because they facilitate the priming of the immune system through their presentation to it:
"These findings may imply that tumor response in the primary lesion may be able to prime the immune system of patients for activity against distant lesions."The UIC team's conclusions could be profound, among them:
- "RB-mediated tumor cell death may expose tumor antigens that may otherwise evade immune detection."
- "Though most profoundly described in melanoma cells, clearly an immunoreactive malignancy, the effect has been shown to be not limited to one specific type of malignancy.
- "Decrease in tumor burden and stimulation of an immune response with PV-10 has been demonstrated in animal models of metastasis, and correlations of these responses in clinical studies is consistent with such results." Provectus' CTO Dr. Eric Wachter, PhD has said in a 2013 white paper: "PV-10 murine research demonstrated unambiguously, Dr. Wachter noted, that tumor burden is a critical variable in predicting response to a combination therapy." See Radiation (September 22, 2015) on the blog's Current News page.
- "That PV-10 treatment can potentially increase circulating cytotoxic T-cells, even in patients who were previously treated with immune-activating checkpoint blockade, supports the possibility that RB induced cytotoxicity may activate T-cells that are responsible for the bystander effect on untreated lesions."
- As such, intralesional therapy with RB may be a promising new mode of therapy to stimulate T-cell mediated anti-tumor immune responses."
UIC's work was conducted in part under an NIH grant.

COVINA – South Hills High School's boys soccer team broke from the gate slowly this season, but there's no doubt the Huskies are beginning to find their second wind.
Carlo Villegas and Austin Daugherty had first-half goals and the Huskies extended their unbeaten streak to six games with a 2-1 victory over Bishop Amat on Wednesday in a nonleague game at Covina District Field.
South Hills vs Bishop Amat
Eric Pantoja had an assist for South Hills, which improved to 4-2-2. Peter Careaga had the goal for the Lancers, who slipped to 11-4.
"We're doing well after losing our first two games to start the season," first-year South Hills coach Casey Stratton said. "It's a big win for us. They are a good program and are off to a very good start. This was a good test."
The Huskies wasted little time in earning a passing grade by getting a score from Villegas three minutes into the contest.
South Hills was awarded a direct kick just outside the penalty area. Pantoja then lofted a shot in front of the Lancers' goal. It was deflected to Villegas, who knocked in a header to the right of goalie Alex Ragsdale for a 1-0 lead in the third minute.
"We actually called a different set piece," Stratton said. "But (Pantoja) observes something different (in Bishop Amat's alignment).
"They had cut off what we tried to run. We just got away with something. He lofted the ball over the top, the keeper got out of his line and we were lucky to get that one."
The second goal, coming in the 10th minute, was a good, athletic play by Daugherty.
The junior midfielder gathered in a loose ball just passed midfield, dribbled down the side of the penalty area, side-stepped Ragsdale, who is the Lancers' backup goalie, and easily sent the ball into the corner of the net for a 2-0 advantage.
"We have to give our No. 2 a chance every once in a while," Bishop Amat coach Juan Rodriguez said. "Sometimes he goes in there and is nervous. He made a mistake, but it happens. It happens to the best."
Careaga got the Lancers back at 2-1 with a goal in the 21st minute on a direct free kick that evaded South Hills goalie Evan Esparza.
The Huskies, who out-shot Bishop Amat 16-7, had chances to increase their lead, but Christopher Mancilla, who was inserted in goal in the second half, made seven saves to keep the Lancers close.
Bishop Amat had two decent scoring opportunities in the second half. Joshua Tierney's attempt in the 58th minute was blocked by Esparza and Careaga's direct free kick from just outside the top of the penalty area in the 63rd minute was wide.
"We didn't finish," Rodriguez said. "We were there, knocking on the door, but we weren't finishing. That was our biggest problem."

Sheffield FC Ladies midfielder Hannah Dale admitted it was a bitter pill to swallow as their nine-game unbeaten run in the league, dating back to May, came to a halt with a 1-0 FA WSL 2 home defeat to London Bees.
Jo Wilson's first-half strike sealed the points for the visitors. Sheffield left-back Ellie Gilliatt had the ball in the net just minutes before the final whistle but was adjudged to be offside.
Dale said: "We beat the Bees 5-0 when we played them away so this is even more disappointing, we just couldn't take our chances when we got into good areas.
"Ellie (Gilliatt)'s goal was a close decision, on another day it might have been given and we'd be stood here talking about a different result, that's just football I suppose.
"It feels like we've lost ground as we were on the same points as the Bees before the game, and with two away games in a row coming up it would have been ideal to pick something up from today's game.
"There are four games left and 12 points to play for and we will be fighting for every single one, we'll just take each game as it comes and we'll see where we end up at the end of the season."
Sheffield FC: Juliana Draycott, Sherry McCue, Danielle Cox, Ellie Gilliatt, Hannah Dale, Jodie Michalska, Carla Ward, Rhema Lord-Mears, Emma Lipman, Chloe Dixon, Emma Johnson.

The Australian way of life was irrevocably changed by the large scale immigration of the post-war years. Although many of Australia's resources in such areas as food, housing and education, roads and transport, hospitals and social services, the benefits were innumerable.
Rapid economic and industrial development was possible because of the increased manpower available; political growth occurred to meet a wide range of needs, and Australia's export/import trade changed largely due to the interests and requirements of our migrant population. Socially, the Australian way of life became more colorful and vigorous – creating a larger Australian tolerance of ethnic differences – a direct result of the stimulus provided by many and varied cultures.
Australia's economic position changed rapidly during the early post-war immigration. Whether the migrants were displaced refugees; British families and ex-servicemen assisted with farm subsidies, or single men brought here to contribute their specific skills, all contributed to this post-war economic boom. Many early arrivals were building workers who quickly reduced the backlog of desperately needed residential and commercial building – and in turn created an ever-increasing demand for extra housing for their own families.
The next wave came to work in the rapidly growing area of heavy industry like the steelworks at Port Kembla; and Government projects, such as the Snowy Mountains Scheme – the immense hydroelectricity and irrigation complex. Others came to join the workforce in mines, timber mills and the ever-expanding manufacturing businesses springing to life to service these many and varied industries.
Politically, the effects of immigration were also felt. The formation of the Democratic Labor Party was a direct result of fears held by various nationalities from Europe of the potential for Communist take-over of the Australian Labor Party, as they had seen happen in their former countries. Many Trade Unions would also change and adapt to meet varied demands by overseas-born members, who often constituted up to 60% of an individual union.
Socially, Australia's traditional insular attitude has been reversed and truly enriched by its migrant population. One of the many positive effects has impacted our eating preferences. A broad range of European and Asian food items are now commonplace in most homes – Italian pizza, pasta and Parmesan cheese; German black breads, sausages, and sauerkraut; Polish salamis and dill pickles; Lebanese pita bread; Greek phyllo pastry; Chinese stir-fry vegetables, noodles and Soy sauce; Turkish shish kebabs; Dutch, French and Scandinavian cheeses; Danish pastry; Swiss confectionery etc.
Entertainment is another area that has expanded and flourished due to our multi-cultural society. There are now many wonderful ethnic celebrations, enjoyed by all Australians. Here in South Australia, some particular favorites are – the German Schutzenfest, Greek Glendi, Cornish Kennewick Lowender, Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale and Goonawarra wine festivals, as well as Chinese New Year parades and celebrations. The Adelaide Festival of Arts provides a venue for a large range of folk music, dancing and song from all parts of our world. Ethnic radio stations, television channels, and newspapers and magazines inform, educate and enlighten us about differing attitudes and lifestyles.
Australian Immigration remains very popular among the immigrants for many years. The above-mentioned facts are witnessing the opportunities available for immigrants in Australia. If you are a Pakistani National and looking for Australian immigration then this is the best time to move to this country.

William Hill settles US legal fight
Peace has broken out in the legal spat between William Hill and two American gaming software firms which had accused the bookmaker of making "extortionate demands".
William Hill, Britain's second-biggest bookmaker with 2,345 betting shops, made a £90 million investment in NYX Gaming last year as part of the Las Vegas-based group's £270 million purchase of Open Bet.
The two sides fell out over NYX's announcement in September that it had accepted a C$775 million (£465 million) bid from Scientific Games, a Nasdaq-listed rival. NYX, which is listed in Toronto, claimed William Hill's demands from Scientific Games before it gave its blessing to the deal amounted to a "brazen attempt to lock up the market and restrain competition" before the likely opening up of online…

Adults that live with their parents typically result in a comfortable situation for all involved, but expectations must be in place to ensure that they don't stay for too long, recommends Market Watch. It is reasonable for adults to remain at home during tough economic times.
Students with high college debts also have a tougher time finding a place of their own; staying at home allows young people to get their financial affairs in order, but there is a chance that they are delaying their ventures into the real world. Adult children can potentially be a financial burden to the parents when living with them.

Haryana hold edge after see-saw day
Karnataka 151 and 122 for 3 (Uthappa 53, Satish 33*, Rana 2-18) lead Haryana 272 (Dewan101, Saini 69, Binny 4-54, Aiyappa 3-70) by 1 run
On another eventful day in Bangalore, which saw fifteen wickets fall, Karnataka won the first session, then gave away the middle one to Haryana, and just when it seemed like they had bounced back after tea lost their top order, giving the visitors a slight edge at the halfway stage of the quarter-final contest. In response to Karnataka's 151, Haryana started solidly but lost seven wickets for 36 runs in the second hour of the morning before a stubborn 74-run eighth-wicket partnership between captain Amit Mishra and Mohit Sharma allowed them to take a vital 121-run lead. At stumps, Karnataka had managed to go ahead by one run on the back of an aggressive half-century from Robin Uthappa.
Uthappa started the second innings with a powerful square cut against Ashish Hooda that raced past the point boundary. KB Pawan, his opening partner, matched Uthappa with a fluent square-driven four. But in the sixth over, Pawan was defeated by an inswinger from Sachin Rana that hit him in line with middle stump.
At the other end Uthappa remained unaffected, playing with confidence and getting his feet near the pitch of the ball. Cuts, punched drives, both off the front and back foot, and straight drives helped Uthappa dominate the bowling. He reached his half-century with a straight six against the medium pace of Mohit Sharma. But on 53, Uthappa, in a moment of complacency, was dismissed in similar fashion to Pawan; Rana trapped him plumb in front with one that nipped in.
Then, five overs before stumps, Karnataka suffered another setback when their captain Ganesh Satish ran out out his partner Bharat Chipli. Satish pushed an off break from Mishra to point and started off for a run. Chipli responded positively but, having seen the point fielder charge in on the ball, Satish decided to turn back. Chipli had already come midway down the pitch, and an agile Rahul Dewan, the wicketkeeper, caught the throw in front of the stumps and threw down the wickets at the bowler's end down to beat Chipli's retreat.
Even though they finished the day on an even keel, it had been a topsy-turvy day for Haryana. Their overnight batsmen Rahul Dewan and Nitin Saini were circumspect for the first 45 minutes. At 152 for no loss, Haryana were in a good position to build a big lead. However, in a lazy moment, Saini attempted a half-hearted pull against Stuart Binny. Uthappa, standing at mid-wicket, took the catch easily.
Saini's dismissal was part of a mini-collapse of four wickets for just twelve runs. Binny, Karanataka's best bowler in the match, and season, bowled a perfected outswinger that induced a thick outside edge from Haryana's most-dependable batsman Sunny Singh. The morning was 90 minutes old. Karanataka's bowlers were getting hungry now. NC Aiyappa bowled aggressive lines and good lengths to induce edges from Prateek Pawar and Sachin Rana off successive deliveries in his first over of the morning. Aiyappa missed his hat-trick and was not the only bowler to miss one on the day.
Left-arm spinner KP Appanna, joint-fourth on the wicket-charts in the Elite division this season, got the important wicket of Dewan and then dismissed Jayant Yadav next ball in only his second over of the day. Mohit Sharma negotiated his arm ball, denying him a hat-trick.
Till his erroneous decision to attempt a cut off Appanna, Dewan had managed to keep his head despite the flurry of wickets at the other end. He pulled Aiyappa to get to his third century of the season, which took him 192 deliveries and included 13 boundaries. But three balls later, he tried to cut Appanna with the ball far from his body, and got a thick edge that was pouched brilliantly by wicketkeeper CM Gautam, giving him his fifth catch of the innings. The next delivery from Appanna was, not surprisingly, an arm ball that slid in to new batsman Yadav and hit him on the back leg. He was rightly adjudged lbw for a duck. Haryana finished the first session having got 75 runs for seven wickets off 34 overs.
The pitch became a bit slower after lunch and the Karnataka bowlers' lines got shorter, allowing Mishra and Mohit Sharma to settle down. Even the second new ball, taken immediately after 80 overs, did not stop the Haryana pair from scoring easy runs.
An hour after lunch, Mishra, on 44, attempted a hook shot against Binny. He could not make clean contact and the top-edge sailed towards deep square leg where an advancing Aiyappa claimed he had taken the catch. Replays, though, clearly showed the ball had slipped through his palms and he had picked it up on the bounce as he fell forward. The square-leg umpire Amiesh Saheba informed Sudhir Asnani that the catch had not been taken, and the Karnataka appeal was quashed instantly. Five runs later Mishra was adjudged leg before by Asnani to a Binny delivery that had deviated into his legs and appeared to be marginally missing leg stump.
The match has been full of incident, with the momentum swinging like a pendulum between both sides; the final two days promise more.
