Great Oreskes Lecture Updates State of Climate Change Denial
Great Oreskes Lecture Updates State of Climate Change Denial
Polls show that between one-third and one-half of Americans still believe that there is "no solid" evidence of global warming, or that if warming is happening it can be attributed to natural variability. Others believe that scientists are still debating the point. Scientist and renowned historian Naomi Oreskes describes her investigation into the reasons for such widespread mistrust and misunderstanding of scientific consensus and probes the history of organized campaigns designed to create public doubt and confusion about science.

Back in 1991, before Al Gore first shouted that the Earth was in the balance, the Danish Meteorological Institute released a study using data that went back centuries that showed that global temperatures closely tracked solar cycles.
To many, those data were convincing. Now, Canadian scientists are seeking additional funding for more and better "eyes" with which to observe our sun, which has a bigger impact on Earth's climate than all the tailpipes and smokestacks on our planet combined.
And they're worried about global cooling, not warming.
Kenneth Tapping, a solar researcher and project director for Canada's National Research Council, is among those looking at the sun for evidence of an increase in sunspot activity.
Solar activity fluctuates in an 11-year cycle. But so far in this cycle, the sun has been disturbingly quiet. The lack of increased activity could signal the beginning of what is known as a Maunder Minimum, an event which occurs every couple of centuries and can last as long as a century.
Such an event occurred in the 17th century. The observation of sunspots showed extraordinarily low levels of magnetism on the sun, with little or no 11-year cycle.
This solar hibernation corresponded with a period of bitter cold that began around 1650 and lasted, with intermittent spikes of warming, until 1715. Frigid winters and cold summers during that period led to massive crop failures, famine and death in Northern Europe.
Tapping reports no change in the sun's magnetic field so far this cycle and warns that if the sun remains quiet for another year or two, it may indicate a repeat of that period of drastic cooling of the Earth, bringing massive snowfall and severe weather to the Northern Hemisphere.
Tapping oversees the operation of a 60-year-old radio telescope that he calls a "stethoscope for the sun." But he and his colleagues need better equipment.
In Canada, where radio-telescopic monitoring of the sun has been conducted since the end of World War II, a new instrument, the next-generation solar flux monitor, could measure the sun's emissions more rapidly and accurately.
As we have noted many times, perhaps the biggest impact on the Earth's climate over time has been the sun.
For instance, researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Solar Research in Germany report the sun has been burning more brightly over the last 60 years, accounting for the 1 degree Celsius increase in Earth's temperature over the last 100 years.
R. Timothy Patterson, professor of geology and director of the Ottawa-Carleton Geoscience Center of Canada's Carleton University, says that "CO2 variations show little correlation with our planet's climate on long, medium and even short time scales."
Rather, he says, "I and the first-class scientists I work with are consistently finding excellent correlations between the regular fluctuations of the sun and earthly climate. This is not surprising. The sun and the stars are the ultimate source of energy on this planet."
Patterson, sharing Tapping's concern, says: "Solar scientists predict that, by 2020, the sun will be starting into its weakest Schwabe cycle of the past two centuries, likely leading to unusually cool conditions on Earth."
"Solar activity has overpowered any effect that CO2 has had before, and it most likely will again," Patterson says. "If we were to have even a medium-sized solar minimum, we could be looking at a lot more bad effects than 'global warming' would have had."
In 2005, Russian astronomer Khabibullo Abdusamatov made some waves — and not a few enemies in the global warming "community" — by predicting that the sun would reach a peak of activity about three years from now, to be accompanied by "dramatic changes" in temperatures.
A Hoover Institution Study a few years back examined historical data and came to a similar conclusion.
"The effects of solar activity and volcanoes are impossible to miss. Temperatures fluctuated exactly as expected, and the pattern was so clear that, statistically, the odds of the correlation existing by chance were one in 100," according to Hoover fellow Bruce Berkowitz.
The study says that "try as we might, we simply could not find any relationship between industrial activity, energy consumption and changes in global temperatures."
The study concludes that if you shut down all the world's power plants and factories, "there would not be much effect on temperatures."
But if the sun shuts down, we've got a problem. It is the sun, not the Earth, that's hanging in the balance.
Another typical troll response to criticism.
Incidentally, there has been only ONE solar minimum of a Maunder scale. The Sporer and Wolf Minimum fit into the 200 year time cycle, but do not match up in duration and/or scale. The Oort doesn't match at all.
Solar cycle 24 has just barely started as of January 4 and is predicted by most solar experts to be very strong.
Solar Physicist David Hathaway of the Marshall Space Flight Center has said: "Looks like its going to be one of the most intense cycles since record-keeping began almost 400 years ago."
And check out SIDC at the Royal Observatory of Belgium (www.sidc.be) and you will find they are predicting increased geomagnetic activity within the next 24 hours....
Wow, Steve, This article is awesome!
So it was Bush senior that fixed the ozone hole!
Um, but what does this have to do with sunspot cycles?
November 7th, 1989
George Bush
1989: Book II
President Bush announced today that the United States has agreed with other industrialized nations that stabilization of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions should be achieved as soon as possible. The United States also agreed that it is timely to investigate quantitative targets to limit or reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The United States was joined by over 70 countries attending the Ministerial Conference on Atmospheric Pollution and Climate Change in Noordwijk, The Netherlands.
In joining the declaration at the Ministerial Conference, the United States recommended that international funding be directed toward funding a chlorofluorocarbons (CFC's) phaseout in developing countries and promoting efficient use of energy. In addition, the declaration:
urges all countries to take steps individually and collectively to promote greater energy conservation and efficiency;
recognizes the need to stabilize the emissions of carbon dioxide and some other greenhouse gases, while ensuring sustainable development of the world economy;
agrees that developing countries will need to be assisted financially and technically;
urges all countries to join and intensify the ongoing work in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) with respect to a framework convention.
The President said: "I asked my EPA Administrator, Bill Reilly, and my Science Advisor, Allan Bromley, to continue the leadership role which the U.S. has performed since the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change was formed in 1988."
The President also praised the conference for providing the United States an excellent opportunity for useful consultations, both informally and formally, with many of the participating countries, including many countries that have not previously been active in the IPCC process. President Bush also noted that such conferences contribute substantially to the growing consensus among policymakers with respect to global climate change.
William Reilly, the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, and Dr. Allan Bromley, Science and Technology Advisor to President Bush, emphasized during the conference that the United States currently devotes $500 million to the study of issues related to climate change and plans to increase this to about $1 billion in FY 1991. Additionally, through such measures as the Clean Air Act, more stringent fuel efficiency standards for automobiles, aggressive energy conservation, and reforestation programs, among others, the United States is already playing a leading role in reducing CO2 emissions. The President announced in March that the United States was committed to total phaseout of CFC's by the year 2000. CFC's account for about 25 percent of United States greenhouse emissions.
The United States delegates emphasized their support for the IPCC process, in which it chairs the Response Strategies Working Group, one of three such working groups. The IPCC will hold a plenary meeting in Washington, DC, in February 1990. Special reports on the science, effects, and responses to global warming will be available later in 1990.
In parallel with this work, a working group of the Domestic Policy Council, chaired by Dr. Allan Bromley, is undertaking an intensive program examining the potential impacts of climate change and their associated economic consequences. With the results of these working groups and the IPCC report in the fall of 1990, the United States expects to play a leading role negotiating the framework convention anticipated to be called for by the IPCC process. The United States is currently developing policies based on sound analyses to guide national and international actions directed toward eventual solutions to
"So it was Bush senior that fixed the ozone hole!
Um, but what does this have to do with sunspot cycles?"
Actually, I was trying to stick to the topic of the original post. I might ask, What does the Oreskes lecture have to do with your plagiarized and incorrect comment about sunspots? I was linking to evidence that worries about AGW were being taken seriously prior to when you say Al Gore started it all. (Do you see that in the first paragraph where Bush wanted industrialized nations to stabilize carbon emissions as soon as possible?) I was responding to your comment where you seem to attribute the idea of AGW to Al Gore. Your comeback regarding George Bush Sr saving the ozone shows that you're likely to see everything darkly through a partisan glass. Like CFC-ozone science->policy, CO2-AGW science->policy is not about one person. Do you get that? The former issue was dealt with successfully because partisan politics did not interfere, despite the efforts of a few jerks (who previously argued similarly on behalf of big tobacco) to denigrate the science because they didn't like regulation policies. The webpage to which I sent you makes it clear that partisan politics has had a much more deleterious effect wrt the latter issue. Get it?
But I don't want to be accused of ignoring sunspots. Here's a useful graph of recent sunspot activity:
Right, global temps have been increasing for the last 4 decades straight, and the sunspots may be a bit tardy and you're ready to worry about global cooling rather than warming. Or at least that's what AGW-deniers are trying to pretend is a supportable position. Hmph.
Perhaps you had to plagiarize that garbage because you thought the world couldn't wait (for a proper citation or summary) to hear the news about this little known phenomenon. You may be interested to know that the influence of the sun and the correlation with sunspot activity will be news to nobody who's been paying attention. [In fact just the other day I sent a colleague an old document (Gilhousen, IPSFC, 1960) discussing the historical relationship between the sunspot cycle and North Pacific conditions that promote migration of Fraser River salmon via the northern route around Vancouver Island rather than the more usual southern route. People not only know about sunspots and their environmental effects, they also know quite a bit about their effects on various species. Incidentally, the sockeye salmon have been migrating via the northern route much more frequently in recent years, even during the trough of the sunspot cycle. That's right, sunspots don't explain a lot of recent history. For example, see: http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2006/09/the-trouble-with-sunspots/
and links therein, or http://newsletter.carterobservatory.org/april/sunspots_full.png where ~1940 was hot but sunspots low, and ~1970 was cold but sunspots high.]
I have one more url for you, just to (hopefully) finally disabuse you of any notion that AGW is more Al Gore's invention than is the internet, or that AGW is a new-kid-on-the-block theory that is only popular for political reasons relative to things like sunspot theories: http://www.aip.org/history/climate/ … or you could just watch the first part of the Oreskes video (did you watch it before calling us turd brains?).
Does this mean global warming could be over and we might have a worse problem to contend with? What kind of economic & political impacts could this have?
And I'm getting pretty dang confused now. I thought the sun's part in climate had been disproved. Is this story maybe just more propaganda from the denial machine? Also I read somewhere that the farmer's almanac, which bases their trend predictions on sunspots has a 80% accuracy rate. Is this better than the IPCC's?
What the heck is going on? What should I tell my students?
Also, what about the ozone hole? I heard scientists are wondering why it closed up so fast, so much faster than expected since it takes so long (decades?) for the CFCs to clear out of the atmosphere. So why did it 'heal' so fast?
I also did not know there was much of a connection between global warming/cooling and the ozone hole. I'm new here, help me out.
On the ozone-climate confusion, see #24 at Understandit.org
I haven't kept up quite as much on that particular issue, but last I read the Antarctic hole was still expected to mostly close by 2050. There are seasonal and inter-annual fluctuations, though, just as there are in weather despite the overall climate trend. Things don't always occur smoothly/at a steady rate.
The sun drives climate, but the greenhouse effect determines how much solar energy is radiated back to space and how much is retained. The sun's average irradiance isn't nearly enough to be playing a significant role in climate change. The main concern now is rapid warming that exceeds about 2 degrees C (globally averaged) before the year 2100. See Understandit.org for more.
The solar cycle is currently at it's decadal minimum, which has a slight cooling effect (along with the short-term cyclical la niña in the Pacific). Even if we were to have a "maunder minimum" type event on the sun (as occurred in the 1600's), the global average cooling would probably be offset by the amplified greenhouse effect. But such an event appears unlikely, since the sun is now showing signs of recovering from it's minimum:
"The main concern now is rapid warming that exceeds about 2 degrees C (globally averaged) before the year 2100"
My God! Only yesterday morning, when I got up for work, it was minus 45 degrees C, with windchill. Do you mean to tell me that on the same day, in 100 years, it may only be minus 43 degrees C??? Unbelievable! Horrendous!
At a torrid minus 43 degrees C, I'd be able ride a bicycle to work, wearing only shorts, flip-flops, and a jaunty sun hat.
Our grandchildren must be spared this horrific fate! We must act NOW! Public relations companies must redouble their efforts to control the weather -- BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!
"Fool. You still haven't bothered to find out about La Nina, which explains the cold weather this year."
Huh, well what do you know? Here we rubes had thought the cold weather in February, in northern Canada, was always caused by, um ... winter.
I guess this year is an exception.
"Weather is not climate."
Yes, they're probably completely unrelated.
(But really, VJ, you should make up your own catchy slogans, instead of parroting everyone else's.)
May I intervene, Rob?
This year's La Niña event is indeed relevant if, for example, you happen to be south of about 54°N in the Americas. However, the whole bloody earth (most notably in China and South Asia) has been experiencing unusually bitter weather this year, and the wee girl isn't THAT powerful.
It's curious that the warmists are so eager to discount any La Niña related weather which upsets their pretty models but, they eagerly embraced the effects of the major El Niño of 1998. Science only matters when it fits their goofy religious parameters.
"The whole bloody Earth", eh? Seems pretty mild around here. But again, regardless of the global and/or regional cooling influence(s), one winter doesn't mean a trend reversal.
I suspect the only reason ENSO might upset a model (although I'm not sure that's broadly true) is because it's a relatively unpredictable weather event related to variability in ocean-atmosphere heat exchange rather rather than climate forcings. And It was well-acknowledged (at least among climatologists) that 1998 was also affected by a strong El Niño. That's what made it a useful point of comparison for later years, in the denialist "warming stopped in 1998" cherry pick.
Come on Steve, that's a pretty silly comment. I don't believe that you've spent the last 10 years in a cave. Are you trying to maintain that you never heard the cant about 1998 being "the hottest year ever"? You're not familiar with some permutation of, "the extreme cold weather this winter has no significance because it's related to La Niña"? I suggest that you start following a couple of blogs. One is rather inappropriately named "RealClimate" and the other is ... oh, what's it called ... oh, yes, DeSmogBlog.
(If you're just pulling my chain as payback, it wasn't me that made you look foolish yesterday, it was somebody with the handle "Timothy G".)
The denialists like to trumpet 1998 as the warmest year, because then they can make the dishonest argument that the earth is cooling instead of warming. They conveniently ignore El Nino in that case, like they conveniently ignore La Nina when discussing how cold it is this winter.
1998 was one of the hottest years. So what? Pointing that out shows some kind of hypocrisy? As VJ notes, it's the AGW-deniers that like to ignore the fact that it was an El Nino year. Give an example of someone using the high temperature of the 1998 El Nino year, specifically, to say that the 'pretty models' of forecast temperature are correct. If so common on these websites, these statements should be easy to find.
PS. Regarding Timothy, he pretends he's a teacher trying to find out what to tell his students and says some terribly ignorant things, and I'm the one who looked foolish? That's as rich as 'Whipme' plagiarizing incorrect material and calling everyone else 'turd brains'.
"Rob, don't you ever feel a pang of guilt, engaging in a battle of wits with warmist half-wits?"
Negative. Low-hanging fruit.
"I still suspect that you're Rob from Dakota but, whoever and wherever you are, I tip my fur hat to you."
Hey, whatever works for you. Who am I to argue with rocket scientists like Fern Mackenzie, VJ, etc. And who dares argue with foaming-at-the-mouth gun nut Ian Forrester? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tquSRFKuv4Q
Yes, this story is largely propaganda from the denial machine, as you put it. Check it out at Deltoid.
As for what you should tell your students: What the heck are you trying to figure out what to tell your students by visiting blogs? What kind of teacher are you? Do some responsible damned research before you teach your students anything. You read somewhere that the farmer's almanac was useful? What are the components of their model? Do you think it surprising that an almanac predicting regional environmental conditions for the next year might do exactly that better than a series of models predicting changed global environmental conditions 50 years from now? Where did you read about this? Do you really want help?
NOAA's NWS staff shares the blame with the others for creating doubt and confusion about the science on climate change. National Weather Service (NWS) supervisors and meteorologists began their denial of global warming campaign, secretively, just after Al Gore became Vice President. NWS was a roadblock on climate change research and public education, 1993 to current. My NWS supervisor said in January of 2000 that NWS told national news media that no questions about a link between the heavy rainfall in 1993 and global warming would be allowed in public national media interviews with NWS.
I think that you've hit the nail, as it were. The whole point is to distract attention from useful and informative dialogue by throwing absurdities into the mix. I suspect that they pretend to be even more stupid than they really are to get a fizzed reaction. It's the only way I can explain the posts above (can anybody REALLY be that dense?). The whole point of DeSmogBlog is to expose this kind of thing, so I suppose we shouldn't be surprised when it surfaces.
I haven't yet watched the Oreskes lecture, but plan to do so over my leisurely Sunday morning coffee a few hours hence.
Nighty Night
Fern Mackenzie
I watched and listened to the complete Oreskes lecture. Yet she never explains how it is that 1/3 to 1/2 of the public is still unsure about AGW.
She is hung up about the Marshall Institute, Fred Singer and even trots out the shaky Boykoff & Boykoff study.
Poor video, poor logic, unsupported conclusions. Too bad, I really expected a stronger arguemnt from Oreskes.
Ah yes, eeeeevil Exxon rules the world. Now, if the "deniers" could just get their hands on some of the proceeds of crime that keeps Hoggan's hookers in business, we'd have all the advantages in the PR wars!
Seriously, Richard, your one-note harping on the question of who gets "what funding where" is tiresome but, you're not the only one who can play that game. Methinks that your real beef with Singer and Millroy is that both are intellectually superior to you, and also better communicators.
Richard, Oreskes makes her case very poorly. Exxon has not spent a fortune, they have spent pennies. Oreskes never explains how pennies spent can so confuse the public. Instead, she gets hung up on Singer and second hand smoke and her lecture goes downhill from there.
It is simply an urban myth that Exxon has caused this "confusion" amongst the public.
You call $15 million which ExxonMobil spent on disinformation from 1997 to 2005 "pennies"? Are you daft?
Also, Oreskes' survey (not refuted by Peiser and Khandekar) showed out of 928 scientific peer-reviewed articles about climate change, a grand total of ZERO questioned the science of AGW. Oreskes' work is actually impressive to those who don't have ideological blinders on.
Yes Stephen, $15 million is indeed "pennies".
It amounts to less then 1 penny per American citizen per year. No matter how you slice it or dice it, you can't do propaganda with that kind of miserly budget.
Oreskes may be a genius, who knows, but if she is, she does an excellent job of hiding it during her lecture.
Her speech is pathetic. Her obsession with Singer and second hand smoke is such a tired and worn out cliche that I'm surprised she couldn't come up with something original.
The rest of her lecture would only be impressive to those who believe in AGW urban legends such as yourself.
Who should be taken seriously: respected scholar Oreskes or an anonymous person who changes his internet persona? Well, I'm not one to support arguments from authority. But in this case, Paul G/S has been asked repeatedly for an original analysis, cite of a paper, or even a simple link to someone not named Paul G/S who supports the idea that the amount spent on propaganda (by Exxon et al) has not reached the minimum required to have an effect. Never a tidbit of supported information does he supply. Just the same old broken record.
ZOG said: "her off-the-wall political views".
Translation: "she does not agree with my biased, right wing, neocon view of reality therefore she is wrong."
ZOG, grow up! You are being so infantile in your comments that it insults Grade one students to say that you are acting like one.
Ian Forrester
I notice that you don't dispute my observation that she abuses her credentials in an effort to give credibility to her extreme leftist political views.
Hey, knuckle-dragger, we haven't heard much from you lately? How's the uber-capitalistic biotech racket going these days? Loot rolling in? Not going to well? How sad.
No need to dispute your trash comments since it is well know around here that you have nothing of significance to offer. I've seen less filth on the floor of a parrot cage than what comes out of your mouth. I hope your family, friends and employer do not find out just what a disgusting person you are.
By the way what is the "uber-capitalistic biotech racket"?
Ian Forrester
What's all this knuckle dragger stuff? And exactly what "extreme leftist political views" was she demonstrating and how are these a threat to you, specifically?
Can you bring any contradictory evidence to bear on the research that she is citing? Can you deny that people have been speculating on the impact of increased concentrations of CO2 for more than a century? Can you challenge in any effective way the accumulating evidence that the predictions of the 1950s and 1960s have indeed come to pass? And more to the point, can you prove to me that you are not an idiot?

Philadelphia 76ers
The Philadelphia 76ers narrowly missed out on the playoffs last season. With a record of 34-48, Doug Collins' team finished 9th in the Eastern Conference just four games out of the final spot which belonged to the Milwaukee Bucks. The Sixers made news in the previous offseason when they acquired Center Andrew Bynum from the Los Angeles Lakers in the blockbuster trade that helped LA acquire Dwight Howard. Unfortunately for Bynum he was plagued by injury throughout the entire regular season and was not able to help the 76ers at all.
Philly ran into a tough stretch in December and January going 4-11 and 5-9 in those months. They were never quite able to recover from their poor start and as a result they were not able to reach the postseason. Many experts believe that the Sixers would have a great shot at making the playoffs but the loss of Bynum derailed those hopes. With their all-star Center returning this season, Philadelphia should be tremendously improved. Additionally the development of players like Evan Turner and Jrue Holiday should help the franchise significantly in the coming years. The future is certainly bright for the 76ers as they have a nice mix of veterans and younger players.
Don't miss any of the Sixers games at the Wells Fargo Center when you order with GoTickets. We have a great selection of seats for all of the games on the Philadelphia 76ers schedule.

A tough, stretchy, weather-resistant glove that's ideal for Spring Skiing, with great tactility and just the right amount of warmth.
M2 Softshells offer a great balance between weather resistance, breathability and thermal protection, excellent for a wide range of aerobic activities in moderate conditions.
DriClime® mesh is a bi-component denier gradient dimensional knit made of two different denier yarns. Using extremely fine deniers this knit is extremely light with superior wicking performance.
The larger outer yarns are a special filament yarn with an open capillary structure, which pulls the moisture away from the skin to the backside of the mesh where it spreads to increase evaporation. The dimensional structure of the knit combined with the smaller denier yarns on the backside of the mesh increase the surface area allowing for greater moisture holding capacity.
This technology increases the interior comfort of the garment by enabling the wearer to feel less clammy and more comfortable over a wide range of temperatures and conditions. The mesh prevents condensation from collecting on the skin no matter what the level of activity due to its 3 dimensional structure. The dimensional knit structure also helps by spreading the moisture over a larger surface area maximizing the efficiency of the evaporate process. This technology solves the problem of condensation and internal comfort that even the most breathable of fabrics have problems with during high intensity activities.

One of the great marvels of the time is how effectively well-funded propaganda campaigns and a captive mainstream media have distorted the peoples' view of reality so that they act as if they are sleep-walking.
This places small private businesses and individuals at a distinct disadvantage with regard to economic viability in the marketplace. It fosters consolidation and monopoly. It lends itself to a cynicism that is undermining the conscience of many of those who have sworn oaths of office. It isolates dissent to corrals and 'free speech zones.' It breaks up peaceful gatherings of protest with pepper spray, bullets, and clubs. It pollutes the internet with campaigns of disinformation, and silences the voices of journalists.

Number 187 Atlanta, Georgia January, 1909 The Southern Educational Association Negro Education The question of Negro education was given a prominent place in the program of the recent meeting of the Southern Educational Association in Atlanta, an entire morning session being given to its consideration. We regret that the local newspaper reports failed to convey the liberal spirit which characterized the discussion. The prevailing sentiment was decidedly in favor of more and better work for the Negroes and there was general recognition of the sad limitations which characterize their present public school opportunities. It was held that the burden of Negro education must fall largely on the Southern people, and in this connection the missionary schools established and largely supported by people from the North met with some criticism. The question was raised as to whether people who lived in another section of the country could possibly understand the needs of the Negro race and prepare them for useful life as effectively as the Southerners among whom their lot is cast. Rev. George Sale, D. D., was on the program to speak upon The Past, Present and Future of Mission Schools in the South for the Education of the Negro. He used the opportunity this afforded to meet the criticisms which had been made. He showed the relation which these schools bore to the whole system of Negro education, being, as they are, the training schools for the teachers. He showed, moreover, that the development of character and of the spirit of service was fundamental in the purpose of all such institutions, and said that criticism of them was usually based upon misapprehension. He urged the people of the South to acquaint themselves more fully with the work of such schools. When the meeting was open for discussion Pres. G. R. Glenn, of the North Georgia Industrial School, spoke. Dr. Glenn was formerly Commissioner of Public Schools of the state of Georgia. There is no man more familiar with the problems of education in the South than he. In a few words, beautifully chosen, he expressed, as a Southern man, his deep appreciation of the work that had been accomplished in the mission schools and his admiration for the young people who had, as missionaries, come to the South in the '60's and '70's, and devoted themselves to so unpopular a cause as Negro education. Mention should be made also of the forceful address of Ex-Governor W. J. Northen. He earnestly advocated education as a means for the prevention of lawlessness and would have the state of Georgia introduce compulsory education for all her people of school age, both white and black. Some Phases of the Negro Problem (Quoted from Mr. Taft's speech before the North Carolina Society) The proposal to repeal the Fifteenth Amendment is utterly impracticable and should be relegated to the limbo of forgotten issues. It is very certain that any party founded on the proposition would utterly fail in a National canvass, and that the hope is futile. What we are considering is something practical, something that means attainable progress. It seems to me to follow, therefore, that there is or ought to be a common ground upon which we can all stand in respect to the race question in the South, and its political bearing, that takes away any justification for maintaining the continued solidity of the South to prevent the so-called Negro domination. The fear that in some way or other a social equality between the races shall be enforced by law or brought about by political measures really has no foundation except in the imagination of those who fear such a result. The Federal Government has nothing to do with social equality. The war amendments do not declare in favor of social equality; all that the law or Constitution attempt to secure is equality of opportunity before the law and in the pursuit of happiness, and in the enjoyment of life, liberty, and property. Social equality is something that grows out of voluntary concessions by the individuals forming society...... Ultimately, of course, the burden of Negro education must fall on the Southern people and on Southern property owners. Private charity and munificence, except by way of furnishing an example and a model, can do comparatively little in this direction. It may take some time to hasten the movement for the most generous public appropriations for the education of the Negro, but the truth that in the uplifting of the Negro lies the welfare of the South is forcing itself on the far-sighted of the Southern leaders. Primary and industrial education for the masses, higher education for the leaders of the Negro race, for their professional men, their clergymen, their physicians, their lawyers, and their teachers, will make up a system under which their improvement, which statistics show to have been most noteworthy in the last forty years, will continue at the same rate. . . . Public Schools in Atlanta When a city becomes its own severest critic there is great hope of improvement. The following paragraphs are quoted from the annual address of Mr. Asa G. Candler, President of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce: All the school houses are overcrowded, and in several the board of education, in order to accommodate the children who have sought entrance, have been compelled to use ill-lighted and poorly ventilated basements for class rooms. The wooden buildings are heated by stoves ; their only means of ventilation are windows through which cold drafts of vitiated air come, inviting and producing disease and death to our children, if in the providence of a merciful God they escape cremation by a burning building. Poor and perilous as are these buildings, they are wholly inadequate even if they were such structures as they ought to be. Atlanta has about 20,000 children of school age, boys and girls, between the ages of six and fourteen. The total enrollment in our overcrowded and ill-housed schools is less than 14,000. It is reliably estimated that 7,200 children of school age are not in school at all. Of these 2,800 are white and 4,400 black. Gentlemen, take note, the spring time of life comes but once and when gone, is forever gone, with all its solemn eternity of meaning. Can any community afford to take such chances on the young life of future generations? Can we blast the seed time and hope for the harvest? Prof. George Norton Ellis, of Berea College, visited us the last day of the old year and spoke to the students at morning chapel.

How Important Is Fat Distribution?Posted: Sunday, June 05, 2011
In obese individuals, the distribution of adipose tissue both on the body, and in the liver and skeletal muscle is an important predictor of insulin sensitivity.
Jürgen Machann, Dipl. Phys., from the Section on Experimental Radiology at University Hospital in Tübingen, Germany, stated that, "BMI alone seems to be not a good measure for obesity in terms of metabolic alterations." "There seems to be a benign form of adiposity. The lower the fat on the body, the better for the metabolic status, expressed as insulin sensitivity," he said.
The study included 144 obese volunteers, of whom 90 were female and 54 male, with an average age of 47 and 44 years, respectively. All subjects were at increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes and had body mass indices (BMIs) of between 33 and 35 kg/m2.
Adipose tissue measurements included total adipose tissue; visceral adipose tissue; subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue; adipose tissue of the lower extremities, measured from the feet to the head of the femur; and adipose tissue of the upper extremities, ranging from the head of the humerus to tips of the fingers.
The subjects were divided into 2 groups based on those who were insulin sensitive or insulin resistant after an oral glucose tolerance test.
Despite no significant differences between the groups in terms of BMI, percentage of total adipose tissue (between 37% and 49%), or percentage of subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue (between 14% and 20%), subjects who were insulin resistant had a higher percentage of visceral adipose tissue compared with insulin-sensitive subjects -- a difference that just missed statistical significance (5.2% vs. 5.9%, P = .07) in males but was significant in females (3.3% vs.3.9%, P = .02), said Dr. Machann.
In contrast, insulin-sensitive subjects had a higher percentage of lower-extremity adipose tissue compared with insulin-resistant subjects (14% vs.12% [P = .04] in males and 20% vs. 18% [P = .002] in females).
The picture for upper body adipose tissue was less clear, with insulin-resistant females showing significantly higher percentages than insulin-resistant females but insulin-resistant males showing slightly lower percentages than males with insulin sensitivity.
Hepatic lipids are more than doubled in both insulin-resistant males and females compared with insulin-sensitive subjects (P < .001 for both), Dr. Machann reported.
"Benign" adiposity seems to be characterized by decreased levels of hepatic lipids and increased amounts of adipose tissue in the lower extremities, the German investigator concluded.
"This reflects the well-known apple and pear shape, but we have to recognize that there are even male pears and female apples," he said.
The findings underscore the valuable role that imaging could play in daily clinical practice.
"If there's some concern based on a patient's weight or BMI you could go get a more accurate answer with imaging," commented Scott Reeder, MD, PhD, comoderator of the session, associate professor, and section chief of MRI and cardiovascular imaging at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health in Madison. "Previously, it would take many hours to segment all those areas and to measure the visceral vs. subcutaneous fat, but now there's more automated ways of doing this. So, for example, with just a couple of minutes of scanning and then automated segmentation you can get the answer right away, and that really brings the cost down. It's fast, it's noninvasive, and it's inexpensive."

Incidentally, I think there may be some confusion here between the Neww Balance Games, which were held yesterday at the New York Armory, and the New Balance Grand Prix, which is NEXT week in Boston. Rupp, of course, ran in Boston THIS week, at Boston University.
Re: Couldn't find Rupp's 3:50.92 results...
Thanks all...got it.
Re: Couldn't find Rupp's 3:50.92 results...
Am I overly impressed at a 3:50.92 mile indoor by a 10,000 guy? That seems like phenomenal range. Should we be expecting another American record in the 10k this year?
Re: Couldn't find Rupp's 3:50.92 results...
A 3:50.92 indoors by ANYone is impressive!!
But, realistically, Rupp probably hit his 1500 at about 3:34.....which is VERY close to what he ran last year. Thus, no real improvement!
Also, his last 440 was apparently only 58 secs!! That's NOT going to scare any Kenyans or anyone else who's capable of finishing in 55 or less!!
His one mile time would have more impact on his 5K than his 10K!!
I think he CAN get the AR in the 5K...if Lagat doesn't get it first!!
Whatever the case, 3:50.92 is a damn good time!!
Re: Couldn't find Rupp's 3:50.92 results...
The last lap may not scare the top guys, but this feels like he could put together a really bruising 1200 at the end of a 10000. Also, if he ran 58 seconds, then it looks like he went out too fast. Was he on a 3:48/9 pace?
Re: Couldn't find Rupp's 3:50.92 results...
with more racing and sharpening - rupp could go 349 flat.
you know he's been doing, what 120 miles a week?, and backed off to 85 for just 2 weeeks to achieve the 3:50.9
come summer,
this means that 12:45 5k is on.
and that sub 7:30 3k is on too.
Re: Couldn't find Rupp's 3:50.92 results...
for where rupp is in his training, he should be happy with 3:50
the first 200 is where they got behind chasing the lagat mark
then rupp was just sitting on the two rabbits
it was really a team time trial till the two pacers were done, and rupp took it up on his own
he doesn't have the lagat jets in the end, so not breaking the mark doesn't surprise
but for moscow, projecting from where he is now, he should have confidence
Re: Couldn't find Rupp's 3:50.92 results...
Just as Mary Cain has been compared to Mary Slaney, so too might Galen Rupp be compared to the legendary Steve Prefontaine!
In their range of times!!
Pre ran:
3:54.6 mile
5:01.4 2000
7:42.6 3000
13:22.6 5000 (but a 12:51.4 3 mile, which was "faster" than a 13:22 equivalent!!)
27:43.6 10000
Rupp is equally wide-ranging, with great marks from 1500 to 10K!!
(Of course, much faster than Pre, whose career (and very sadly, his LIFE!!!) ended almost 38 years ago!!)
Heck, Rupp might be in the "legend" category soon!!
(Nah!! Pre's personality and "James Dean"-like death had LOTS to do with making him a legend!!)
Re: Couldn't find Rupp's 3:50.92 results...
THIS kind of speculation is a lot more 'acceptable' to me than the MCain stuff.
If he does a serious mile outdoors (why do I get the feeling that he will NOT?), I see 3:48 fo'sho. The AR in the 3 (and 2M!), 5, and 10 (again) are ON!
The WRs are outta reach, but who's gonna be surprised if he doesn't acquit himself admirably in Moscow (hint, hint)?
Re: Couldn't find Rupp's 3:50.92 results...
whoa pre and rupp
ones a rock star
the other a pop singer
imagine pre in todays social world if he was a megastar while alive
what would he be today
rupp on the track can measure up, but PRE is more off the track for me
Re: Couldn't find Rupp's 3:50.92 results...
I AM very impressed. This is Rupp's year.
1. Rupp hit 3:34 en route, finish likely would have been below 3:34 in a 1500 race.
2. It is January! They only decided to make this run/attempt because of the discover of his fitness being so high. He has not been training specifically for miling. Salazar mentioned in an interview that they decided to go try this because he did a 3:58 mile at the end of one of their grueling workouts and thus determined his fitness was high. Salazar also mentioned that Rupp is doing things in workouts right now that he has never seen any athlete do, ever, including Mo Farah.
3. Rupp has already shown the ability to close in 52, 53 in longer races. How he closes in a mile time trial has no relevance to what the Kenyans might think of his finishing prowess. All but one guy last year saw his backside in his primary event. They are all wary of him now as it is.
If he gets in the right races I think Rupp gets the AR in the 5k this year Irrespective of what Lagat does. I see Rupp at 12:45 & 26:30 or better this year. I see him as the guy to beat in the 10k at worlds this year.
They asked him after the race how he can still be hungry after getting the silver at Olympics and he noted [paraphrasing] that he is not satisfied with being second best. Still room for improvement.
Re: Couldn't find Rupp's 3:50.92 results...
Goodness, you posters have finally woken up to Rupp's performance which was totally ignored when I posted on the current thread, called "2013 indoor results" . The next half a dozen or so posts after my drawing attention to Rupps Boston race were all about some athletes a little less significant than what Rupp had achieved. Weird lot you posters.!
Re: Couldn't find Rupp's 3:50.92 results...
after last year i agree the sky is the limit for galen rupp
the salazar approach has been proven it work, with farah the exta proof
agree on the 52,53 finish
k bekele was always a concern, but he;s not 100% any lomger
will rupp do both 5k and 10k in moscow
the object there will be winning
Re: Couldn't find Rupp's 3:50.92 results...
Well, luckily we have YOU now to keep us abreast of the important stuff . . .
Re: Couldn't find Rupp's 3:50.92 results...
It is also harder to run 3:34 on an indoor track than outdoor.
Re: Couldn't find Rupp's 3:50.92 results...
This is especially true in a competitive race where energy is spent positioning before/on turns. However, for a time trial, I am not so sure that the best indoor tracks lose too much to good outdoor tracks. Also, there are some 'natural' indoor runners who lose less than the rest of us.

Say what?
Re: Couldn't find Rupp's 3:50.92 results...
Yeah! For some people, time is the end all be all. The 3:34.75 Rupp ran last year was a fairly large improvement at the time. He also was in a competitive race and, if I recall correctly, ran down Robby Andrews and nipped him at the line, and thus had someone in a competitive race to help bring him there.
This race was a January race, only his second race of the year, and pretty much a time trial, with no one to help him along in the the last 400. The equivalent was about 1 second better than that 1500 but, given the circumstances, it shows more room for improvement ahead. I could see a 3:32 or maybe even 3:31 for Rupp if he really wanted to go after it. That for a 10,000 specialist. Not many guys in the history of the sport have shown the kind of speed from 1,500 to 10,000 that he has already shown at both. He ran his 26:48 in 2011. He has shown improvement in 2012 and from Salazar's comments, he is at the highest level he has ever been. So who could doubt some serious improvement at the 10k this year. Problem is, getting in a race where you can show it. The 10k is almost a dead event nowadays outside of championship races. So unless he picks a race to go for time, we may not see what he is truly capable of.
Re: Couldn't find Rupp's 3:50.92 results...
odelltrclan...nice analysis...right on the money. Rupp is the most exciting USA distance runner to come around for some time. He truly can compete (and defeat) with the East African's...never thought it would happen, but, in Rupp's case, it has.
Re: Couldn't find Rupp's 3:50.92 results...
i,m giving salazar a ton of credit in bringing rupp along
give salazar talent and he'll get the very best out of it
do you happen to know who rupp is scheduled to race next weekend
Re: Couldn't find Rupp's 3:50.92 results...
He is slated to run the 3000 at the New Balance Indoor games. Among those participating are Dejen Gebremeskel and Hagos Gebrhiwet and Garrett Heath. Should be a great race!
Re: Couldn't find Rupp's 3:50.92 results...
the ethiopians will sit and kick..
they'll try to get the jump on galen
rupp going with 600 to go to get his jump on them might be wht salazar has him do
Re: Couldn't find Rupp's 3:50.92 results...
salazar, through painful trial and error has developed into the finest coach. anyone who knew him from years ago has to be surprised with this great evolution of character. back in the day, al-sal said and did stupid things my friends.
salazar's is effectively working on things like ankle and foot strength, nutrition, altitude simulation, form, relaxation and has a proper sports medicine program - legal - that rivals the epo programs (including africans, europeans) rampantly (same as lance) used from the mid 90's to the late 2000's. in other words, he's leveled the playing field on the africans. the africans will have to train smarter or they will be surpassed by guys like rupp.
Re: Couldn't find Rupp's 3:50.92 results...
Salazar says Rupp's in his best shape ever!!
Demonstration of that came with his 3:50.92 mile!!
Here's hoping he won't waste his fitness on a tactical 7:45'ish-7:50'ish race this weekend.
Would love to see him take it from the gun and go for a sub-7:30!!
Re: Couldn't find Rupp's 3:50.92 results...
rupps strength from last weekend make me excited what he is capable on saturday
sub 7:30 is a scary time, but i think itwill be hammer time
whatever he ends of running i'd be happy with
it's all prep for moscow though
des moines trials could be very tough, it isn't eugene weather wise, so he'll need a good 4-6 weeks in heat/humidity
but moscow in eugene, although it can have some humdity the temps arent scary
Re: Couldn't find Rupp's 3:50.92 results...
He has to have the strength and speed to race championship races successfully. Running a race really fast will demonstrate that he has the wheels but will not really change the fact that he has or does not have the wheels.
Championship races require racing tactics and their dynamic implementation. You get that in races and only in races. He is better off racing than going for time trials. The comment above indicates that the poster thinks Salazar has become a (the?) top coach -- that means learning how to win top races. Don't be so short sighted to think that you know better than Salazar does what Rupp needs. That might mean that you are disappointed that fast times are not his primary objective. I do not think that he will make chasing WRs a primary objective.
Re: Couldn't find Rupp's 3:50.92 results...
if we use farah as the model, i think it's all about winning
being able to deal with the top africans at the end of races, i see the salazar model beingthe final 1k of the race being hard enough so his guys, farah and rupp max their chances
whether the move to win comes at 600 or 1000, it will be decisive
the rupp 3:50 mile is a step in building
if it doesn't get the lagat mark, neither rupp nor salazar will be overly concerned
it's all a step to bigger things
Re: Couldn't find Rupp's 3:50.92 results...
Agree 100%...dealing with race tactics and learning how to win in any scenerio is much more valuable than just running fast.
Re: Couldn't find Rupp's 3:50.92 results...
Hate (or love??? ) to have to offer a rebuttal, but.....
isn't "running as fast as you can, especially if you're in GREAT shape and just ran a 3:50.92 mile, and have SUPER confidence in your ability....
isn't running fast from the gun ALSO considered a 'race tactic"??
Seems someone named David Rudisha used just such a "tactic" in his WR OG race a few months ago!!
Re: Couldn't find Rupp's 3:50.92 results...
let's take team tactics in the upcming moscow worlds
the kenyans tend to be surge with the goal to break open the race or soften it up for one of their guys
if the ethiopians can sit and make one move at the end with a superiror kick, the likes of geb or k bekele are the model
salazar has trained rupp and farah to deal with these 2 approaches
rudeisha has a different event the 800, his strength is the key to maintain a very hard pace
the 800 or 10k. having the strength seems to be vital to success
Re: Couldn't find Rupp's 3:50.92 results...
No, " running fast from the gun ALSO considered a 'race tactic" is a race strategy, not a racing tactic -- as a strategy it works fine when you are much better than your opponents and would likely win anyway. When you are not much better than they are (the situation everyone is in at the top levels) it is almost always a poor strategy.
Rudisha is a cut above the rest and did succeed at the OGs, but the same strategy the next race cost him, didn't it. For him, it is not good strategy to have it go slow so that everyone is still in it with 200 to go, but even there he is reputed to have possibly the best 400 capability and he might do pretty well letting other race plans play out.
Re: Couldn't find Rupp's 3:50.92 results...
Not to mention the fact that the benefits of drafting for an 800, especially with staggered starts pale in comparison to what benefits you get / or lose in a 5k or 10k. There are simply few guys, if any at the current level who could count on breaking away in top level races. With teamwork sacrificing for their "captain" perhaps, but not individually. Hence most guys waiting until the final 3 or 4 laps to show their strategies.
Re: Couldn't find Rupp's 3:50.92 results...
a championship style race has far more surging than a diamond league race where the pacers are all set out for a fastt race
i prefer the championship race, where you wont know exactly who will do what when, although we tend to know who the sitters are
the daegu 10k, i recollect thinking farah had the race won with 200 to go
a 10k has so many moves, enjoying who makes the early pace, the variety of attempts to
match this up with a diamond league race
the gebremeskel - rupp style race in boston is also a race to enjoy
but neither is 100% now wait till august
and i think thisis RUPP year
Re: Couldn't find Rupp's 3:50.92 results...
Until Rupp went sub 27 and then won the silver medal, I had great hopes. Now I have great expectations. Now we have this indoor mile to validate those expectations. It will be fascinating to see what he can do this year. He is clearly in wonderful form.
Re: Couldn't find Rupp's 3:50.92 results...
I'm not following this ... maybe I'm really getting old (which I am)
Re: Couldn't find Rupp's 3:50.92 results...

This is the best plain enamel I have found to re-do old pickups and to wind my new vintage PAFs. It is color correct for all but the more purplish wire found on some from the 50s. The resistance seems very consistent, so I can assume the actual conductor diameter must also be consistent. Yea, modern manufacturing progress!

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"After stressing about my invitation for a month, I stumbled across this site. It was so simple to find what I wanted, edit it to my liking, and order! I got my order within 5 business days as promised and I couldn't have been happier! The floral detail looks like it was hand painted on each card. Be sure you upgrade to the shimmer paper, you won't be disappointed!"
"The quality of the invites were better than expected. They look very high end. We ordered all of the accessories and will now be ordering our programs. Don't hesitate they are beautiful!"
"These invitations are gorgeous! I was looking for an elegant wedding invitation which embodied the Vintage Romance theme that I was shooting for. I went to a few local shops and was told that the style I was looking for would cost me between $9-$12 an invite... which was just not going to happen. After a lot of frustration I found Wedding Paper Divas site and loved every sample that I ordered from them (at reasonable prices to boot!). When it came down to ordering the invite this one fit the bill beautifully. It was simple yet had a unique design and looks amazing on the black pocket folds that I ordered."
"The colors I picked turned out great (blush and grey) The invites are beautiful! Its SO worth the extra 10 cents to add the shine to them. They have a hint of shimmer and glitter. Im in love. I cant wait to send them out."
"My Wedding Invitations were absolutely PERFECT. They truly reflected the theme and thoughts we wanted for our guests to begin to visualize of beginning of our dream coming true."
