Frazer Vs. Bolton: Someone's Lying
Today, Jendayi Frazer who had openly and vocally defended and supported Meles Zenawi's obstruction of international law, invasion and occupation of Somalia finds herself defending her actions and denying Bolton's accusations
[Africa News Update]
In his recently published memoir - "Surrender Is Not An Option: Defending America at the United Nations and Abroad" (Threshold Editions) - former U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. John Bolton states that in February 2006, Jendayi Frazer, Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs informed him that she wanted him to "reopen" the 2002 EEBC decision (Eritrea Ethiopia Border Commission).
Bolton describes his surprise at Frazer's position, because in January 2006, he had gotten the Security Council to agree to a Frazer-led "U.S. initiative" on the border issue. Bolton believed that the "Initiative" would focus solely on the expeditious implementation of the Eritrea Ethiopia Boundary Commission's (EEBC) Final and Binding decision delivered on 13 April 2002.
He was in for a surprise. Here is what he wrote on the now infamous Page 347: "For reasons I never understood Frazer reversed course, and asked in early February to reopen the 2002decision, which she had concluded was wrong, and award a major piece of disputed territory to Ethiopia. I was at a loss how to explain that to the Security Council, so I didn't."
Eritreans who had always suspected the State Department's underhanded and illegal attempts to amend, change, revise and reverse the Final and Binding EEBC decision in order to appease their ally, Meles Zenawi, the leader of the mercenary minority regime in Ethiopia, were not surprised by Bolton's revelations.
Today, Jendayi Frazer who had openly and vocally defended and supported Meles Zenawi's obstruction of international law, invasion and occupation of Somalia finds herself defending her actions and denying Bolton's accusations by presenting even more contradictory statements on the Eritrea Ethiopia demarcation issue and US policy.
Jendayi E. Frazer, Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs has responded to Bolton's allegations-she denies having such a conversation with him and in a recent interview with Aljazeera TV, repeated that denial.
For those of us who have documented her numerous unwarranted attempts to amend, revise, and reverse the Eritrea Ethiopia Boundary Commission's Final and Binding decision are surprised by her denials and her actions vis a vis the Eritrea Ethiopia border demarcation are a matter of public record.
In this sitting, I would like to address the inconsistencies in the Assistant Secretary of State's public statements. Before I do that, let us take a look at Jendayi Frazer's response to a question posed to her during a 30 November 2007 State Department Press Briefing. Here is an excerpt: Question: "..Can I just ask one more very briefly on the Boundary Commission thing? Former Ambassador Bolton has written in his book that you in February of 2006 told him that you wanted to reopen the Boundary Commission's 2002 decision and to give the area or parts of the area around (inaudible), to award that which had been already granted to Eritrea to Ethiopia. Is that correct."
Assistant Secretary of State Jendayi Frazer's Response: "No. Thank you for asking the question. I actually haven't read the book, so I am surprised that I even feature in it. But I can assure you unequivocally that I've never advocated for reopening the boundary decision, the EEBC decision on the -- you know, the land, the delimitation line. In fact, we've been very clear that we accept the delimitation line. The issue was how do you move from delimitation to demarcation. And I've always advocated that that has to involve dialogue between the countries because, clearly, territory that was Eritrea's has been given to Ethiopia, territory that's Ethiopian has been given to Eritrea. That's what drawing straight lines typically does. And so not to reopen the decision, but rather to have a dialogue about the demarcation, including options of open borders so that the people on the borders can move back and forth. And that really is, I think, just a matter of how do you implement the decision, not reopening or questioning decisions. So I could say without --unequivocally that I've never advocated for changing the delimitation decision of the Eritrea-Ethiopia Boundary Commission."
In an interview with Aljazeera TV on 3 December 2007, she was again asked to comment on Bolton's allegations and was given the opportunity to listen on tape, an excerpt from John Bolton's recent appearance on the same program. Here is an unofficial tran scri pt of Jendayi Frazer's response: "This is the first I have heard John Bolton speak on it and I have not had a chance to read his book and I can say unequivocally that he got it wrong. I never shifted any of US government policy or my own position about the delimitation line the EEBC drew a delimitation line. Both parties agreed that it would be final and binding and that has always been the US government's policy. I never shifted any official policy and it's always been our policy and I don't understand really where Bolton got the idea that I had somehow shifted policy. What we said was that to demarcate that border let's accept the delimitation decision as final and binding as it is both parties agreed to that and we need to now mover towards demarcation. We need to find a way to deal with some dialogue between the countries because it affects the local communities at on that border. In fact that delimitation line gives land that belong to Eritrea to Ethiopia and land that had been previously considered Ethiopia to Eritrea. That's fine, they both agreed final and binding. But now we are now still stuck with how do we get the border demarcated and I can't see a way ahead except that the two countries themselves come forth and dialogue to demarcate the border so I am sorry to say but Ambassador Bolton is either misinformed about that or I can imagine that maybe someone told him that but he certainly didn't get that from me."
Well, considering Jendayi Frazer's very vocal and hostile anti-Eritrea statements in the last year or two, and the unprecedented diplomatic and political cover she personally guaranteed the minority regime in its illegal war of aggression, invasion and occupation of Somalia, I am inclined to believe John Bolton's version of the truth.
If we were to go back and re-visit some of the news reports at that time (early 2006), Bolton would come off as the more credible of the two. Suffice it to mention her repeated attempts to interfere in the work of the EEBC and repeated efforts to hijack the EEBC's sole mandate of demarcating the Eritrea Ethiopia border.
Let us take a look at her track record. After visiting Badme, a sovereign Eritrean territory under Ethiopian occupation, in an interview on Voice of America's "Straight Talk Africa" on February 1, 2006, she exposed her sinister motives when she made the following statement: "I think in terms of the issues of Badme it is beyond Badme. It is that the Eritrea-Ethiopia Boundary Commission has made a decision on delimitation. It has to now do the demarcation. And the important point is to get that demarcation started. In order to demarcate you have to have dialogue between the two parties because the Algiers Agreement basically says that the demarcation has to be done according to what is just and reasonable. And I think that just and reasonable is how does it affect the communities that live on the border? For example, if the delimitation line separates a person's house from their farm, one has to adjust the line or compensate the farmer; and so that is the just and reasonable aspect. And so that requires some dialogue."
She wanted to adjust the line and she had the person to do it for her. It should be recalled that George Fulford, who she figured could serve as a "technical facilitator" to the EEBC, accompanied her on her trip to Badme. We also know about the "satellite technology" map that she and General Fulford tried to introduce at an EEBC meeting in the spring of 2006. We also know that General Fulford "rather unwisely, wrote to Eritrea 's Legal Counsel that he was seeking operational latitude to shift the boundary by about 1Km"
Allow me to remind Jendayi E. Frazer of the EEBC's mandate under Article 4.2 of the Algiers Agreement, which clearly states: "The parties agree that a neutral Boundary Commission composed of five members shall be established with a mandate to delimit and demarcate the colonial treaty border based on pertinent colonial treaties (1900, 1902 and 1908) and applicable international law. The Commission shall not have the power to make decisions ex aequo et bono."
Ex aequo et bono means that the Commission was not to take geographical and other considerations when making its decision. It was not to make its decision on what it considers right or "just and reasonable." Both parties agreed to that when they signed the Algiers Agreement. There are provisions in the Algiers Agreement that address the humanitarian and other issues that may arise during demarcation. In an interview with Voice of America (VOA) on 22 November 2007 Frazer again repeated her doublespeak: "The main concern is that we clearly state that they need to resolve their problems, particularly on that border through diplomacy, through the U.N. process that's underway. So we are very much backing the United Nations that is trying to resolve the border conflict and we certainly do support the U.N. boundary commission, the Eritrea-Ethiopia boundary commission on the work that it did on delimitation. That border needs to be demarcated and that demarcation is going to require dialogue between the two, so diplomacy and dialogue are necessary."
Jendayi E. Frazer knows very well that the Eritrea Ethiopia Boundary Commission (EEBC) has produced with full participation of the two parties demarcation directives and orders that fully address the concerns raised above. She also knows that the EEBC has on several occasions invited the parties to discuss the implementation of the EEBC decision and that Ethiopia has rejected such dialogue on demarcation.
In case the Assistant Secretary of State has forgotten, allow me to refresh her memory, lest she continues to embarrass herself while trying to defend the indefensible conduct of the minority regime led by Meles Zenawi. Jendayi E. Frazer must know that Ethiopia rejected an invitation by the Boundary Commission to participate in a meeting scheduled in London for 22 February 2005 with a specific agenda, to discuss the issue of border demarcation.
In its November 2006 Statement, the EEBC in its listing of Ethiopia's violations and obstructions to its work listed Ethiopia's rejection of the 22 February 2005 meeting for dialogue on demarcation: "rejecting the Commission's invitation to a meeting to be held on 22 February 2005 on the ground that the meeting was premature, would be unproductive and could have an adverse impact on the demarcation process, as a result of which the Commission was obliged to cancel the meeting (February 2005)."
Most recently, in a September 28, 2007 letter by the President of the EEBC to the UN Secretary General, the EEBC once again exposés Ethiopia's deceptive calls for "dialogue" which is its way of renegotiating the Final and Binding decision. Here is what the EEBC President wrote: "Even if all of Ethiopia's conditions were met by Eritrea, Ethiopia would not commit itself to anything more than discussion on demarcation."
That means that the regime in Ethiopia still wants to re-negotiate the Final and Binding decision and is not prepared to allow for the demarcation of the Eritrea Ethiopia border. Jendayi Frazer must know that the minority regime'scall for "dialogue" is the same old tired old deceptive time buying gimmick used to frustrate the EEBC, force it to leave and hope for the creation of an "alternative mechanism".
For the sake of peace and stability in the region, the Assistant Secretary of State should stop encouraging Meles Zenawi's deceptive flip flopping tactics and call for the unconditional end to Ethiopia's occupation of sovereign Eritrean territories.
Today there is some rumblings about a "UN plan" for the demarcation of the Eritrean Ethiopian border. The only plan that needs to be promoted is the EEBC plan. The UN does not have any mandate to create an "alternative mechanism" to replace the EEBC. It should instead secure Ethiopia's compliance and cooperation with the EEBC for the unconditional and expeditious demarcation of the border, and request that the EEBC return to complete its sole mandate under the Algiers Agreement.
The Security Council must condemn Ethiopia's continued occupation of sovereign Eritrean territories and call for the full restoration of Eritrea's sovereignty and territorial integrity. Ethiopia must unconditional and immediately remove its forces from sovereign Eritrean territories and Jendayi E. Frazer must stop encouraging Meles Zenawi's belligerence and lawlessness with her ill-advised calls for "dialogue".
The US Administration should stop its obstruction of justice and the rule of law. The rule of law must prevail over the law of the jungle.

Bulk Bag Conditioner Loosens Solidified Materials
Flexicon's new Bulk Bag Conditioner includes two hydraulic rams and specially contoured end plates which press opposing sides of bulk bags thereby loosening materials that have solidified during storage and shipment. enabling bulk bag unloaders to discharge it through bag spouts.
A cantilevered I-beam with motorized hoist and trolley allows loading and unloading of bulk bags without the use of a forklift. The bag can also be raised and lowered using the hoist, and rotated manually, for conditioning at any height on all sides.
The system controller and hydraulic pump can be mounted on the exterior of the safety cage or remotely. The conditioner is fully enclosed on all four sides for operator safety and includes full-height doors that are interlocked to disallow operation of the system when the doors are open.

The education and learning industries, like most, should be profoundly transformed by software and technology over the next decade.
It may happen slower than some fields, such as media, communication, and entertainment, which have already seen disruption. But barring a major derailing, it will happen -- there are simply too many new opportunities, improvements, and efficiencies to ignore.
Tablets and electronic textbooks will gradually replace heavy, static paper books. E-books have different economics than paper, but are easier to update, can be more interactive, and are much more portable.
Education will become more distributed as web services connect teachers and learners in new ways -- including self-service learning. This won't replace formal education for most, but it should lead to an increase in informal and semi-formal education. It should also lead to an increase in asynchronous education, where people are learning the same thing at different times -- the opposite of much of today's education. Think of it as "DVR" or "on-demand" education, vs. today's learning, which is more like live TV.
Adaptive learning -- where students learn at their own pace using personalized curricula -- may improve overall education quality at all levels. Some students will be faster than others, or better at certain things, but the idea is that this way, no one's left way behind.
Streaming video and videoconferencing will make it easier to study courses originated in different cities, states, or countries. How about learning French from someone in Lyon? Or a humanities course from a world renowned specialist? These videos can also be made publicly available to anyone, not just registered students: See Apple's iTunes U or Google's YouTube Edu for early courses from dozens of universities.
Students and educators will get better online tools to perform their jobs. For educators, better grading, course management, and communication tools. For students, better course selection and study tools.
Over time, these changes could eventually profoundly transform the structure of education: When, what, and where you study, who you learn from, how much it costs, how many can attend, etc. But it's going to take a while.
In the meantime, gradual changes should at least help create a better learning experience in settings that accept it.

iState follows the VisPrivus path. Here is how Paul Gordon, the founder of iState, defines VisPrivus:
"I call myself a VisPrivusion (I coined the word). It comes from the Latin Vis- Power, and Privus- Individual. For me, it means anyone who advocates for tipping the balance of power always towards individuals and free associations over coercive enterprises (the state) starting first and foremost with yourself.
A Visprivusian is not necessarily an Anarchist, but is happy to continue, as far as human reality allows, down the path towards the strengthening of individual and free association power and the ever-diminishing power of the coercive enterprise."
This is a category for gun news.

Wednesday we had an early dinner before Betsy's performance, a pasta with shrimp and tomatoes. I opened an 2005 Antinori "Campogrande" Orvieto Classico that I got from a Zachys sale for $5.99. Very lemony, crisp, a bit dilute. Not terrible, and probably worth the $6, but even at that price I doubt I would go back for more. B-/C+
Thursday Betsy unexpectedly had the night off, decided to make the Finnish meatballs recipe from Wednesday's NYT food section. Served them over egg noodles and with some green/wax beans (from deli) and a salad. What wine to serve with the meatballs (pretty similar to Swedish meatballs, very allspicey,though it had some cheese)? I thought of postign to ask Otto, but had little time and didn't know if these were authentic. I decided to go with light red, and chose the 2004 Domaine de Belliviere "Le Rouge Gorge" Coteaux du Loir. I believe this is Pineau with some Gamay. Light and lively, with an unusual floral aroma- kind of a combination of pottin soil and pine needles, reminds me of gardening. Raspberry & strawberry fruit, pleasantly sour. I quite enjoy this, but not a wine for everyone- if your tastes run only to fat sweet ripe reds this will have you running screaming from room. Develops quite an herbal note as it gets air. I like, B+/B
Over three nights I also sample the 2001 Ch. de Chambrun (Lalande de Pomerol). If your tastes run to fat sweet ripe reds this is the one for you (I like both wines personally). A little reticent at first , but after an hour (and on succeeding nights) it shows big crushed red berry fruit laced with chocolate and toasted oak. I like better each night, a big ripe low-acid Pomerol imitator with a thick velvety texture. Super-modern,but well done. There's some tannins that could use a little time, though I wouldn't try to age this 10 years. B+
Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent wine, B a good wine, C mediocre. Anything below C means I wouldn't drink at a party where it was only choice. Furthermore, I offer no promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency.

If you thought yesterday's post on the SETMAR gene made for tough reading, you should have tried writing it. I wound up starting it over twice, and still wasn't all that happy with it. I found myself thinking that it would have been much easier if i could assume that everyone knew what a Ka/Ks ratio was, or I could link to one. Why it didn't occur to me to write my own until after I posted the story, I may never know. It's especially ironic given that I taught it in a class last semester.
The Ka/Ks ratio is a way of measuring the rate of sequence change in a gene that tells us something about the selective evolutionary pressures that are acting on that gene. It tells us whether the sequence of the gene is under pressure to stay the same, change, or drift randomly. It takes advantage of the fact that not all mutations are equal. For example, the DNA sequence GTT codes for the amino acid Valine, but so does anything that starts with GT: GTA, GTG, and GTC. A mutation that changes either of the first two bases will cause the sequence to code for something else, while any change in the third base will still leave it coding for Valine.
The result is that many mutations do not cause any changes in a protein—these are called "synonymous mutations." Those mutations that do result in changes are called non-synonymous. Simply measuring the number of these changes, however, is not statistically informative, since a given gene will have a different number of places where changes can be synonymous or non-synonymous. To control for that, the number of sites where one type of change can take place is also calculated. In this example, the first two bases (GT) would be considered potential non-synonymous sites. The Ka value is simply the total number of non-synonymous changes divided by the number of potential non-synonymous sites, making it a measure of how often these potential changes happen. Ks is the same for synonymous sites.
The Ka/Ks ratio, as a result, measures how often the average mutation in a gene is resulting in a change in the protein it produces. If mutations in a gene are random, or equally likely to cause changes or not, this ratio should be 1. Since mutations appear to be largely random, it probably starts out that way, but it's worth looking at what happens once a protein is produced, and the organism has to deal with the consequences.
In cases of basic metabolic enzymes, change is bad; these proteins have existed for billions of years, and are already highly optimized for their roles. As a result, most mutations in these genes will result in a decrease in metabolic efficiency or death. The net result is that most of the mutations in surviving individuals will be synonymous, and the Ka/Ks ratio will be very low. This situation is called negative or purifying selection, and indicates a conservative pressure that gets rid of changes. In contrast, if a gene has been under pressure to change, mutations that alter its amino acids will be retained by selection, while some of the synonymous ones will be lost at random. This can result in a Ka/Ks ratio that's greater than one, a situation indicative of what's called positive selection, or a pressure for change.
So, going back to yesterday's post, the question was whether there was pressure to keep any of the transposon-derived portions of the SETMAR protein around. If you looked at the transposon sequence as a whole, Ka/Ks was 0.3, which indicates a pressure towards conservation with a high statistical confidence (p < 0.000001). But most of the conservation is in the portion containing the DNA binding region, where Ka/Ks is a very low 0.1, again with a high statistical probability. Changes in DNA binding are definitely being selected against. Going into the DNA cutting region, the Ka/Ks = 0.7, which is not statistically different from 1 (p = 0.2), meaning changes in this region appear random. Which is why we know that evolutionary pressures were keeping the DNA binding function around, and didn't care about the DNA cutting activity.

Western Saddles
Western saddles are used for western riding and are the saddles. They are also used on cattle ranches and working horses through out the United States, particularly in the west. They are the "cowboy" saddles familiar to rodeo fans, movie viewers, and those who have gone on trail rides at guest ranches.
This saddle was designed to provide comfort and security to the rider, especially when the rider is spending long hours on a horse, traveling over rugged terrain. The design of the Western saddle derives from the saddles of the Spanish vaqueros - the early horse trainers and cattle handlers of the American Southwest and Mexico. It was developed for the purpose of working cattle across vast areas, and also came from a combination of the saddles used in the two main styles of horseback riding then practiced in Spain — la jineta, the Moorish style which allowed great freedom of movement to the horse; and la estradiota, later la brida, also known as the jousting style, which provided excellent security to the rider and strong control of the horse. A very functional item was added: the saddle "horn." This style of saddle allowed vaqueros to control cattle by use of a rope around the neck of the animal, tied or dallied (wrapped without a knot) around the horn.
Today, although many Western riders have never roped cattle, the western saddle still features this historical element. Some variations on the Western saddle design, such as those used in endurance riding, bronc riding, and those made for the rapidly growing European market, do not always have horns. The Spanish tree saddle is another predecessor which may have contributed to the design of the Western saddle, which was influential in the design of the McClellan saddle of the American military. The Western saddle is being used by all branches of the U.S. Army, particularly associated with the cavalry.
The Western saddle is designed to be comfortable when ridden in for many hours. Its purpose and history is to be a working tool for a cowboy who spends all day, every day, on horseback. The western saddle may give the impression of providing for a more secure seat for a beginning rider. However, this may be misleading; the heavy stirrups and high cantle aren't for focing the rider into a rigid position, nor is the horn meant to be a handle for the rider to hang onto.

- Physics Department Colloquium
- New perspectives on quark confinement
- Time: 3:30 pm
- Place: 2241 Chamberlin Hall (coffee at 4:30 pm)
- Speaker: Philip Argyres, University of Cincinnati
- Abstract: The confinement of quarks inside protons and neutrons is thought to follow from the theory of the strong force, quantum chromodynamics (QCD). By now very convincing numerical evidence for this has been found by computer simulations of QCD, but an actual derivation of confinement using analytical techniques has resisted all attempts to date. This talk will review the concepts and problems involved in trying to explain confinement analytically, and will present some recent work that sheds light on when and how confinement arises when QCD and similar theories are given periodic boundary conditions in one spatial direction.

Granville and Licking Heights (Big-school division): Granville has the track record (49-15 in the past six seasons) and a passing game that is difficult to defend.
Teams to beat
Granville and Licking Heights (Big-school division): Granville has the track record (49-15 in the past six seasons) and a passing game that is difficult to defend. Licking Heights has the best athletes in the league and is coming off a 10-0 regular season. Never count out Licking Valley, which lost just two MSL Ohio games (to Granville and Newark Catholic) in the past three seasons.
Newark Catholic and Johnstown (Small-school division): This should be a doozy of a race between the defending Division VI state runner-up Green Wave and the Johnnies, who have made the regional final or better in Division IV two years running. The teams haven�t met since the old LCL dissolved in 1990.
Star players
Chayce Crouch (Newark Catholic): The Illinois recruit came of age in leading the Green Wave to the Division VI championship game last December. The 6-foot-4, 225-pounder passed for 2,053 yards and 18 touchdowns, ran for 350 yards and 11 TDs, and made all-Ohio as a punter.
Cody Farley (Johnstown): The latest in a line of prolific running backs at Johnstown, Farley amassed 1,792 yards and 16 touchdowns last season. With quarterback Tyler Thompson having graduated, expect the Johnnies to lean on Farley even more.
Ajay Alderman (Granville): In 2012, Alderman caught 43 passes for 846 yards (20-yard average) with seven TDs and had 301 yards in returns. The senior put up those numbers as part of an impressive three-man receiving corps (including Brock Hill and Hunter Orth) that returns intact.
The original LCL dissolved after the 1990 season, sending the 10 members scurrying to various conferences. Its reunion set off a domino effect that forced realignment in the Ohio Capital Conference and Mid-State League and has compromised the Mid-Buckeye Conference as well. ... Every team in the LCL has reached the playoffs at least once. ... Newark Catholic has a winning record against every other team in the LCL, including perfect records against Northridge (15-0) and Licking Heights (14-0).

SM is a sexual orientation or behavior among two or more adult partners. The behavior may include, but is not limited to, the use of physical and/or psychological stimulation to produce sexual arousal and satisfaction. Usually one partner will take an active role (top or dominant) and the other will take a passive role (bottom or submissive). SM practitioners can be heterosexual, bisexual, homosexual, transgendered or intersex individuals.
Dominance and submission - the appearance of rule and obedience of one partner over the other
Consensuality - a voluntary agreement to enter into SM "play" (interaction) and to honor certain "limits" (ground rules of how involved and in which direction the play can proceed);
Sexual content - the presumption that the activities have a sexual or erotic meaning;
Mutual definition - the assumption of a shared understanding by the participants that their activities are SM or a similar concept;
Role playing - the participants assume roles either for the interaction or for the relationship that they recognize are not reality.

Story highlights
- Tradition of hunting with golden eagles remains in Kazakhstan
- Most handlers survive through doing shows, although some use to hunt
- Kazakhstan's falcons targeted by poachers for sale in Middle East
- Number of native saker falcons in wild is rapidly declining
Each month Eye On takes you to a different location, highlighting the interesting places and innovative people transforming their country.
(CNN)Replete in felt peak caps and with long embroidered coats, the eagle hunters of Kazakhstan are an arresting sight.
With golden eagles, some standing almost 3-feet-high perched on their arms, they also carry with pride the Kazakh tradition of hunting using birds of prey that stretches back to the days of Genghis Khan.
The practice of hunting with eagles and falcons was almost wiped out by the Soviets who regarded it as a feudal throwback, but thanks to organized eagle-hunting competitions - and a growing interest in Kazakh traditions - the eagle hunters are making a comeback.
A bird show at Sunkar Raptor Sanctuary, situated outside the city of Almaty, uses a wolf-skin lure to demonstrate the lethal striking ability of trained eagles.
One of the world's largest birds of prey, a golden eagle can swoop on quarry as large as a wolf, reaching speeds of 120 mph in its initial strike. Its talons can exert pressure of upwards of 200 pounds per square inch, allowing it to hold down prey while ripping into it with a razor-sharp hooked beak.
According to Paul Pfander, one the leading bird handlers in Kazakhstan, hunting with eagles is unique to the country and neighboring Kyrgyzstan, noting that there are now some 50 eagle handlers Kazakhstan.
"Most of eagle handlers are happy to make a living posing for photographs for tourists," says Pfander, but he notes that there is a very small group of around 10 traditional eagle hunters still who ride the Kazakh steppes seeking out live prey.
As interest in the Kazakh tradition of falconry and eagling increases, shows such as those at the Sunkar sanctuary are helping to finance programs to preserve the Central Asian habitat of another of the country's birds of prey, the saker falcon.
"There are a lot more conservation groups now," says Pfander. "And they are attracting a lot more money than before."
It's an important project as Kazakhstan's falcons, unlike its eagles, are in the sights of poachers.
"I would say in the past two decades the numbers of saker falcons (in Kazakhstan) has dropped by 90%," says Pfander. The birds are listed as "endangered" on the IUCN's Red List of Threatened Species that notes the species "may be undergoing a very rapid decline".
Wealthy states in the Middle East like the UAE are the main destination for wild-caught birds, where a falcon perched on the leather glove of a rich Emirati is as potent a status symbol as a private jet or top-end Mercedes.
Efforts to send birds back to Kazakhstan, like a recent program by the Abu Dhabi Falcon Hospital to return 66 falcons to their natural habitat, are small in comparison to the size of the market.
The 150 birds bred each year as part of the Sunkar Raptor Sanctuary's breeding program also represent a mere drop in the bucket compared to the estimated thousands smuggled out of the country.
The international black market in hunting falcons is estimated to be worth as much as $300 million a year, according to conservation groups, with gyr, saker and peregrine falcons commanding as much as $200,000 a bird.
It is so lucrative that a 2010 documentary called "Feathered Cocaine" alleged it is linked to the murky world of funding for Islamic terrorism.
Pfander believes the problem is a simple equation of too many people, too few nature reserves and a thriving foreign market.
"Now you can drive anywhere in Kazakhstan and this allows people to get to more and more areas of the falcons' habitat," he says. "There are specialist teams operating that capture wild falcons. It's a very organized, it has its own hierarchy and everyone knows who they are -- it's a kind of Mafia," he adds.
Despite the problems for the saker falcon, the Kazakh tradition of hunting with birds of prey -- especially the golden eagle - is not likely to die out in the near future.
The sheer size of the bird, mixed with the difficulty of training a raptor that can present as much a danger to its handler as its prey, means its numbers in Kazakhstan are presently stable.
"There is just no foreign market for these birds," says Pfander.

Black Mountain has always courted comparisons to the monsters of '70s rock, but Black Sabbath and Deep Purple wouldn't have known what to do with a woman as ballsy as Amber Webber, whose house-shaking howl finally moves from the periphery to the center of the band's rumbling sonic molasses on Wilderness Heart. Webber shares vocals with lead singer Stephen McBean on every track, and their potent chemistry has remade Black Mountain as a stoner-rock Fleetwood Mac on the band's slickest, most pop-friendly record yet. Naturally, this cloudy-headed version of Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham trade cocaine for bong rips, teasing an appealing lightness out of acoustic numbers like the proggy "Radiant Hearts" and haunting "Sadie" amid the usual slabs of roaring riffage like "Let Spirits Ride."
For a band that has made jammy excess and hippie-fied eccentricity vital parts of its musical DNA, the relative straightness of Wilderness Heart sometimes comes at the expense of distinctiveness. "Old Fangs" and "Wilderness Heart" deliver considerable pleasures in succinct, ragingly tuneful packages, but their radio-made heaviness sounds an awful lot like other AOR devotees like Wolfmother and Queens Of The Stone Age. Still, considering that the catchiest number on Wilderness Heart is called "The Hair Song," it would seem Black Mountain's freak-flag hasn't been completely lowered.

Deadly Restaurant Explosion in Kansas City Captured on Tape
(KANSAS CITY, Mo.) – New video emerged Wednesday of a massive explosion at a Kansas City restaurant Tuesday night that left one person dead and 15 injured.
The video of the blast at JJ's Restaurant, an eatery in the upscale Country Club Plaza, came from a surveillance camera at Shelton Travel Service Inc., a nearby business.
The video showed a sudden fiery explosion erupting from the restaurant's corner location. Several cars were stopped at a stoplight in the intersection at the time.
Earlier Wednesday, Kansas City authorities announced that they had found a body at the scene of the blast. One person had been missing since Tuesday evening. Of the 15 people transported to local hospitals Tuesday, nine had been released.
Questions about who was responsible for the deadly explosion went unanswered from various offices Wednesday. A report about a gas leak came in at 5:15 p.m. Tuesday evening. The time-stamp on the surveillance video showed it was nearly half an hour later – 5:44 p.m. – at the time of the blast. The first emergency call about it came at 6:04 p.m.
Pressed by reporters about who was responsible for the tragedy, Kansas City Mayor Sly James responded tersely, "It ain't going to happen today."
In a statement released Wednesday afternoon, Missouri Gas Energy said its probe into the blast continues.
"We remain focused on supporting the ongoing investigation into the cause of last night's incident and on ensuring the continued security of the site," the company said. "Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with all those impacted and their loved ones, and we want to thank the emergency responders for their efforts last night and their continued work today to help so many."
The chairman of the Missouri Public Service Commission, Kevin Gunn, said in a statement that early indications point to the incident not stemming from a system failure.
"Very preliminary reports indicate this leak may have been caused by a strike on a line, rather than a spontaneous infrastructure failure," Gunn said. "However, we cannot know for certain until our staff completes what will be a very detailed inspection."
Such inspections, Gunn cautioned, can take months.

The Character of Goju-Ryu
Kata Implications for Experienced Practitioners
Chapter 14: Age Uke
I suspect that the first karate movement you learned was age uke - rising block. And if it was not the first technique, then one of the first group you learned. You have most likely practiced it every class for many years. You can most likely do an excellent rising block. Good for you.
How often do you use rising block when sparring? Seldom? Never? How come boxers don't use rising block? If it's a good block, seems like boxers would use it.
We somehow feel compelled to justify rising block. We spent a lot of time learning and perfecting it. It must be a great move - it might not work for a boxer, and we may not use it in sparring, but it appears in Gekki Sai and we teach it in one-steps. I mean, why would we spend all those years and repetitions if it didn't have value?
Ever wonder about that? Maybe not. Or if you did, perhaps you figured the answer was there, just beyond your current level of understanding. Could it have been that age uke was never intended to be a block? Does it really make sense to leave our head in the path of danger and rely on our arm to protect us? An untrained person wouldn't do that - they'd move their head as they raised their open hands to try to deflect. Instead, we're taught to meet force with force - using the small bone in our forearm to hit - while leaving that noggin right there in harm's way. Ah, the mysteries of the martial arts.
I contend that there are no blocks in karate. Wow! That ought to raise some hackles! Okay, I state it that strongly because that comment goes directly against the grain of our early training and continuing beliefs. If we define blocks as meeting force with force while not moving our body out of harm's way, and relying on our arm (or leg) to protect ourselves, then there are no blocks except as a last ditch, desperate effort. It defies logic to train to sacrifice any of our body parts on a regular basis.
Well, then, you might say, the blocks don't really block - they deflect. I would agree, except that's not how they're normally taught. We teach to hit bone to bone and the strongest bone wins. If I hit straight down on your head with a baseball bat would you use age uke? No? Why not? Aren't we trained to block anything that comes within range of hitting us? Oh, I remember now, it's just hands we are to block - but we will respond as we have trained.
So, then, what the heck is age uke? I know, the name translates to something like up block, so that's exactly what it is. Just like Ford's Mustang is a horse owned by Mr. Ford. Well, we have to call it something, and 'old man grasps monkey's tail' is already taken.
Just for kicks, let's look at the age uke movement as if we didn't know what the movement was intended to accomplish. What it would look like to someone who had not been fortunate enough to have been trained in the use of age uke. To that unknowing person, it might look like lifting something off the table and holding it toward the light to study it. We do leave the arm hanging up there after all. That unknowing person, upon further observation, might discover that the hand is closed and turned palm out, and does eventually return from that extended position. Maybe the movement is to capture a fly on the wing. Because the head is not moved during this operation, it would not be considered to be in harm's way and that possibility wouldn't enter into the assessment. Maybe the movement is in preparation to knock on a door with our knuckles. Is all this silly? Perhaps, but it is to make a point. If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, walks like a duck, it's a ………….. block??
So what is age uke?
First, please understand that when we learned the movement we were in some established stance and nothing moved but the arms. The idea being that this method would allow us to concentrate on learning just the arm movement without having to think about the rest of the body. However, since we learned age uke while in some stance and not moving our head, it became entrenched that that was how it should be. This is really important: Just because we were originally taught age uke without moving any of the rest of the body out of harm's way doesn't mean that we shouldn't move our head out of the way when doing age uke. Age uke is an arm movement. Period.
The hand faces palm out. That is a natural position when raising the hand in front of the face, especially when seeking protection. If someone threw a small object at your eyes, three things would likely happen. Your eyes might close, you might move your head, and you might raise your open hand palm out in front of your eyes. Or you might get hit in the eye. Point is, the age uke movement follows how our body moves instinctively, except the hand is closed.
Why is the hand closed? It is either a grabber or a hitter. Note that the emphasis is on the hand - not the forearm. Hammer fist is natural and works. Grabbing stuff with the hand is natural and works. Hitting things with the small bone in the forearm is not natural and not a good practice. Don't hit stuff that way. So, if it's a hitter the hammer fist it would be appropriate for impact on any hard surface like the lower jaw, or a soft surface like the throat. If it's a grabber, it will work against almost any empty hand attack by grabbing and pulling to hike-te - just as we were taught to perform the movement. And, the head and body should be free to move as appropriate during the execution of age uke. Try some of this a few times and see what you discover.
Did you try it a few times or is that just too foreign to even consider? I hope you can at least try.
This really isn't about age uke. It's really to help us learn to let go of preconceived notions and observe what the kata is trying to teach. It's to help us understand that what we learned as karate babies may not be the real intent of a movement but a dramatic oversimplification to help us to learn the mechanics.
Age uke is an easy target to use as an example, but the concept should not be limited to age uke. Uses should be discovered not dictated.
Quack, quack.

Men's lacrosse players on NESCAC all-conference team
Three Hamilton College men's lacrosse players were selected to the 2013 NESCAC All-Conference Team on May 2.
2013 NESCAC Men's Lacrosse All-Conference team
Mike Fiacco '13 (Fayetteville, N.Y./Jamesville-Dewitt HS) and Dylan Lahey '15 (Hyannis, Mass./Barnstable HS) were named to the second team on defense, and Bryan Hopper '14 (Ridgewood, N.J./Lawrenceville School) was a second team midfielder.
Hopper did a little bit of everything in 13 games for Hamilton this year. He was second on the team with 17 goals and 25 points and collected 15 ground balls. Hopper also won 51.5 percent (17 of 33) of his face-offs.
Fiacco, who was on the Liberty League all-league team in 2011, ended the year with 24 ground balls and 11 caused turnovers in 15 games. Fiacco was a four-year starter over his 58-game career. He finished with 127 ground balls and 58 caused turnovers for the Continentals.
Lahey was one of the best in the NESCAC at causing turnovers. He is third in the conference with 26 and he ranked third on the team with 38 ground balls in 14 games.
Lahey and Fiacco led a defensive unit that ranks second in the NESCAC with a 7.44 goals against average. Hamilton's man-down defense is ranked 10th in NCAA Division III at 85.7 percent.
Fiacco, Hopper and Lahey helped the Continentals to a 9-6 overall record, including a 5-5 mark in the conference for the second straight year. Hamilton reached the NESCAC championship quarterfinals in its first two years in the conference, and made postseason appearances in back-to-back years for just the second time in program history.

Rebels drop Dragons
The second-ranked Moose Lake-Willow River Rebels football team led just 16-8 at halftime, but systematically wore down the Pine City Dragons and went on to drop them by a lopsided 43-8 in Willow River on Friday, September 13. Junior running back David Moonen rushed for 192 yards and three touchdowns to lead the 3-0 Rebels as MLWR increased its regular season winning streak to 57 games and its home field streak to 42. Josh Pettersen added 154 rushing yards and a touchdown.
The kick was short and Dylan Lovegreen took it to the 30. Two Moonen runs netted a first down. Two Pettersen got another first. A left pitch was held to 2. A deep pass to Kody Gerard was just a yard out of his reach. On 3rd-and-8 a pass to Ike Pederson was nearly picked off and the Rebels' Brad Fossum punted at 9:23.
The punt rolled to the 15. A pitch to Dragon Dewy Carr was tackled by and a pitch right made it 3rd-and-3. A big hit in the backfield was delivered by Lovegreen and Ezra Szczyrbak and the Dragons punted to the 46 at 7:08.
Pettersen ran across midfield for a gain of 8 and Lovegreen followed for a first to the 42. Two Lovegreen runs made it 3rd-and-2. Moonen hit the middle for a first at 5:03. Moonen ran for 7 and Lovegreen plowed to the 20 for a first. A pass to Pederson was incomplete on the right side. Moonen ran a counter to the 14. A nice pass found Gerard almost all alone on the left side for a touchdown and Lovegreen added the two-point conversion run for 8-0 at 3:09.
Rebel Charlie Adamczak kicked a high hopper to the 32. The Rebels encroached. A left run was handled by Pettersen and Pederson. Dragon Connor Clark was tripped up by Jon Evenson for only a few with help from Adamczak. On 4th and a half yard, the Rebels encroached to hand the Dragons a first down. A big run up the middle had to be stopped by Evenson for a first at :22.5. A run was hammered by Rebel Brett Hawkins after four yards as the quarter ended with the Rebels up 8-0.
Third-and-nine found the Dragons calling time at 11:10. A halfback pass got a first for Carr at the 7. Two Carr runs netted five yards with Adamczak and Szczyrbak stopping on the second play. An offside on MLWR put the Dragons to within a foot of pay-dirt. A quick pass out to Carr from Dragon Mitchell Hansmann was a TD and the two combined over the middle for the two-point pass to knot it up at 8-8 at 9:18.
Rebel Thomas Hansen returned the kick from the 15 to the 31 on the left side, but a hit to the head moved the Rebels back to the 13. Three Moonen runs were good for a first at 7:41. Pettersen went for a few left. Encroachment and a Lovegreen run were good for first at 6:36, but an illegal procedure moved the Rebels back to the 39. A middle run went for 7. Fossum had Pederson all alone on the deep left route, but it was overthrown. A pass to the right flat was good for a first at 5:18. Moonen took a right pitch for 4. Pettersen broke free on a counter for long yard to the 15. Lovegreen was stacked up. Pettersen went left for 3.

Two middle runs were at first at 2:07. A pass over the middle was nearly picked off by J.J. Sayler. A middle run was held to a yard by Pettersen. On 3rd-and-9, the Rebels called time at 1:28. A backward pitch that appeared to be partially tipped by Szczyrbak's fingers was a fumble, but the Dragons were able to cover the live ball. A bad snap resulted in the Rebels covering the pigskin near Pine City's own 5. Moonen went right to within about four feet of the goal and it was Moonen getting the call to take it in the left middle for 14-6. Moonen was the second man through for two-point and 16-8 at :36.6.
Adamczak's kick went out of bounds at the 25 and the Dragons elected to have him rekick. Carr got a good return, but it was Rebel Adarius Hopkins on the stop at the 32. Pine City decided to knee it out and go to the half trailing by only 16-8.
Adamczak's deep kick to the 15 was returned to the 36 with Moonen stopping. Hansen and Pettersen allowed only a yard. On a pass, Evenson and Adamczak chased the quarterback for just another yard.

Fossum set to pass, but kept and ran to the 29 for a first. Pettersen got nothing on the right side. Moonen kept churning for seven and Lovegreen followed for a first. Pettersen went left for seven. Fossum kept right and was just inside the pylon for the 13-yard TD scamper as Pederson threw a good block. The kick was blocked for 30-8 near the one minute mark.
The kick rolled to the 34. With a new quarterback, it was Hawkins and Jeremiah Chavez tackling and 2nd-and-11, a middle run went nowhere and a pass on the right side was incomplete. A low punt snap was bobbled as the fourth frame began all the way back to the 24.
A run left was a first at 11:20. Pettersen ran a left pitch for 2. Moonen made a great cut to the 15-yard line at 10:10, but there was a personal foul on MLWR back to the 26.

A pass to Pederson was flagged for an illegal man down field. Moonen sprang free with a TD run. The PAT was good by Adamczak for 43-8 at 3:22.
A good squib kick by Butkiewicz was recovered by the Dragons on the 36. Rebel Milan Dragicevich tackled on a run. A pitch left was good for a first. An option lost a couple with Butkiewicz and Adamczak up. A fumbled snap ended the game at 43-8 as the second ranked Rebels had worn down the Dragons and won big.
The Rebels are at Eveleth to play the Eveleth-Gilbert Golden Bears at 7 p.m. on Friday, September 20.

MONTAGNER, Miguel Ângelo; MONTAGNER, Maria Inez y HOEHNE, Eduardo Luiz. Scientific recognition in numbers: analysis of the profile of a vanguard from Lattes curricula vitae. Interface (Botucatu) [online]. 2010, vol.5Selected edition, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1414-3283.
The objective was to analyze the possibilities and limitations of quantitative study on an institution and its professionals, taking into account the Lattes curriculum vitae platform. Through exploring this material, we sought to delineate the profile of professors of the UNICAMP School of Medical Sciences and to characterize their scientific production, main activities and academic profile. The methodology used was quantitative. Based on descriptive statistics, we outlined and analyzed the main characteristics these professors presented in their curricula vitae, which are stored in the database of the Lattes Platform. Next, using qualitative analysis based on the theories of Pierre Bourdieu, we emphasized the difficulties in achieving good descriptions of researchers' social and scientific paths based on the Lattes Platform. Thus, the Lattes system consists of a repository of finished scientific actions, comprising a linear, non-historical succession within official science.
