     Hello Peck, Eystein, Tim, Keith:
     Please find attached the e-versions of the WA and AW papers re: the
     "hockey-stick".  These are now available as "to-come-in-print" articles
     from Climatic Change.  I believe the WA one was just loaded yesterday.
     As I understand it, official "print" publication will be this November.
     These versions HAVE gone through the author proof process, and thus I
     anticipate no possibility of them being further changed before print
     publication.
     Note brief correspondence yesterday with Phil Jones re: proof-level
     changes that were made to WA (copied below).
     Peace, Gene

     Hi Phil:
     There were inevitably a few things that needed to be changed in the
     final version of the WA paper, such as the reference to the GRL paper
     that was not published (replaced by the AW paper here), two or three
     additional pointers to the AW paper, changed references of a
     Mann/Rutherford/Wahl/Ammann paper from 2005 to 2007, and a some other
     very minor grammatical/structural things.  I tried to keep all of this
     to the barest minimum possible, while still providing a good reference
     structure.  I imagine that MM will make the biggest issue about the very
     existence of the AW paper, and then the referencing of it in WA; but
     that was simply something we could not do without, and indeed AW does a
     good job of contextualizing the whole matter.
     Steve Schneider seemed well satisfied with the entire matter, including
     its intellectual defensibility (sp?) and I think his confidence is
     warranted.  That said, any other thoughts/musings you have are quite
     welcome.
     Peace, Gene

       Gene/Caspar,
          Good to see these two out. Wahl/Ammann doesn't appear to be in CC's
       online first, but comes up if you search.
          You likely know that McIntyre will check this one to make sure it
     hasn't
       changed since the IPCC close-off date July 2006!
          Hard copies of the WG1 report from CUP have arrived here today.
       Ammann/Wahl - try and change the Received date!  Don't give those
     skeptics something
       to amuse themselves with.
       Cheers
       Phil
