Chaco Culture National Historic Park preserves a major prehistoric center of ceremony and trade in the San Juan Basin just south of Farmington, New Mexico. Natural beauty and cultural significance meet in this area of northwestern New Mexico where ruins, artifacts, and other archeological sites radiate from Chaco Canyon's cultural epicenter. The extensive and well-preserved cultural history found here earned designation as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987.
Chaco Culture
Around 200 A.D., the first farmers settled in what is now Chaco, using agriculture to supplement hunting and gathering and building small pithouses on the mesa for shelter. This era of early Pueblo culture lasted more than a half-century until drastic changes in the complexity and scale of building construction changed the face of both the culture and the landscape. For three hundred years, this new version of Pueblo culture (coined Anasazi) flourished, constructing impressive buildings and roads throughout the Greater Chaco Region, with Chaco Canyon as the epicenter. And then…. they vanished, abandoning Chaco Canyon around 1150 A.D. There are many ideas about the cause of this sudden exodus, including prolonged drought, but the likely complex reasons for this exodus remain a mystery.
Chacoan Great Houses
Amazing building skills are what most define the Chaco Culture. Massive greathouses are a significant divergence from traditional Pueblo settlements. Greathouses are unusually large multi-story masonry buildings made of stacked stone (usually sandstone) and mortar. In addition to their size, highly refined masonry techniques and advanced engineering make these structures truly spectacular featuring hundreds of rooms, some very large, and several circular kivas built within the main structure (in traditional Pueblo domestic settlements kivas were located in a central plaza). Each greathouse also had a separate great kiva nearby. Over 200 outlying Chacoan greathouses exist in the Greater Chaco Region with a bit of mystery still surrounding their purpose. Some believe they served as the center for massive settlements, while others them as trade centers or ceremonial developments.
Chacoan Roads
Chacoan roads are another defining aspect of the Chaco Culture. An elaborate road system served to connect great houses and significant landscape features across the Greater Chaco Region. There are over 100 miles of prehistoric roads associated with Chaco, some of which can still be traced today. Like Chacoan great houses, these roads were massive and built with a high level of engineering skill. They were also remarkably linear. While most roads and trails contour with the landscape, Chacoan roads follow direct lines to a destination, often going over, rather than contouring around, major landscape features and taking angular bends instead of gentle curves. Some of these roads extended for miles in a single direction.
Chaco Culture was intimately linked to the stars. The Chacoan people were expert skywatchers, with a strong connection between celestial events and daily life. This connection to the stars is evident in the architecture of the great houses where architectural features are aligned with significant astronomical events. Similar alignments are found in observational and ceremonial sites throughout the Greater Chaco Region.
With astronomy as a center point of culture, dark night skies were an integral component of Chacoan life. This feature is largely preserved today as the night sky of the Greater Chaco Region remains one of the most unpolluted in the U.S. This unique characteristic is threatened by encroaching large-scale oil and gas development.
The Greater Chaco Landscape
The Greater Chaco Region radiates from the main park at its center, expanding across the Four Corners Region and the San Juan Basin with ties to other well-known cultural sites such as Mesa Verde, Canyon of the Ancients, Bears Ears, Hovenweep and Aztec Ruins. Chacoan roads, greathouses, villages, sacred sites and other places of significance are scattered across this larger landscape. Chaco and the Greater Chaco Region continue to retain significance to modern-day indigenous peoples as a connection to their ancestors and history, places of traditional use and sacred sites, and for some their home.
The natural landscape of the Greater Chaco Region is as unique as its cultural landscape. At an elevation of 6,000 feet, this arid region of high desert can be incredibly hot during the summer and bitterly cold in the winter – a harsh place for human settlement. Surreal badlands, broad washes, sage shrublands, amazing fossils, expansive views and unique habitat surround Chaco. In the Bisti/De-na-zin Wilderness north of the park petrified logs and stumps are scattered across colorful badlands and discoveries of significant dinosaur bones have provided scientists a glimpse into the region's biological history. Southeast of the Bisti and north of Chaco, the Ah-shi-sle-pah Wilderness Study Area spans over 6,000 acres of hoodoos and badlands further contributing to undeveloped lands in the Greater Chaco Region and preserving habitat for grassland species like elk and mule deer.
Outside of protected areas, many lands rich with both cultural and natural resources remain threatened by oil and gas development. The impacts of extreme development – primarily on BLM lands in the Greater Chaco Region – are evident in extreme habitat fragmentation, gas flares, industrial infrastructure and industrial traffic. A methane "hot spot" has been identified over the Four Corners region with most of the methane emissions attributed to oil and gas development. Nearby communities – mostly native – have reported elevated levels of air quality-related health issues and contamination of water sources from fracking operations.
Making sure remaining undeveloped lands are managed to protect the sensitive natural and cultural landscapes of Greater Chaco and the people who live here is an integral component of maintaining Chaco's legacy.
Traditional Use, Stories & Sacred Sites
Chaco Canyon and the Greater Chaco Region encompass ancestral homelands for Pueblo, Navajo and several other Southwestern tribes. To many, Chaco is not just a place of the past, but a living entity woven into the past, present and future of native life. Navajo, Ute Mountain Ute, Apache, Hopi and Pueblo people still reside in the Greater Chaco Region where many continue to use these lands in traditional ways. These lands are home to many sacred sites. They connect present day people to their ancestors through stories and ceremony and provide the traditional foods and medicines used by native cultures here for centuries.
In oral traditions where oral history and storytelling weave the fabric of culture, preservation of the land that is connected to these stories helps the stories live on. When a piece of the landscape is altered, the story that goes with that land is lost along with the culture tied to both the story and the land. Preserving the sacred lands of the Greater Chaco Region helps to preserve traditional native culture and its stories for future generations while maintaining and environment that provides for native people now and into the future.
In February of 2017 an historic meeting took place between the All Pueblo Council of Governors (APCG) and leaders of the Navajo Nation – President Russell Begaye and Vice President Jonathan Nez – to talk about how tribal nations in the Southwest can work together to protect sacred sites and traditional uses of Greater Chaco Region. The APCG has been meeting for over 400 years, but the meeting between leaders of these two tribes was the first of its kind. As a result of this meeting, an intertribal workgroup consisting of Pueblo, Navajo and other Southwestern tribes will be built to ensure a strong, united voice from tribes is heard and considered in decisions that impact sacred sites and the Greater Chaco landscape.
Chaco Culture National Historical Park
Chaco Culture National Historical Park is managed by the National Park Service and was established in 1907 to preserve the ruins and artifacts associated with what was once a major center of ancestral Puebloan culture between 850 and 1250 A.D. Chaco's ruins are preserved in a state of "arrested decay" to maintain their current structural integrity and ensure visitor safety while keeping the sites primarily natural.
Approximately 40,000 people visit Chaco Culture National Historical Park each year to experience the park through guided tours, hiking & biking trails, evening campfire talks, and night sky programs. But, you have to want to get here – the road to Chaco remains unpaved, rutted and is crossed by natural washes that can rise to dangerous flow level during flash flood events. Chaco's remoteness and difficult access keep visitation low, preserving its serene nature and enabling visitors to truly absorb the Greater Chaco landscape.
Remoteness also contributes to Chaco's dark night skies. Chaco was recognized as an International Dark Sky Park in 2013 and is one of only National Park Service (NPS) units to gain this distinction. Distance from urban areas and the clear dry air of the Southwest help preserve Chaco's dark night sky and provide visitors the experience of viewing the same night sky gazed upon by Chacoan people hundreds of years ago. Special park lighting is used within the park to reduce the impacts of local light pollution and the park offers evening stargazing programs at their small night sky observatory.
The Threat of Oil and Gas Development
Despite Chaco's rich cultural ties to past and present, its awesome archeological resources and its sensitive natural landscapes, development in the San Juan Basin continues to threaten special cultural and natural areas both within and outside of Chaco Culture National Historic Park. Technological advances in extractive industry, such as fracking, enable industry to viably expand development to lands that were previously not cost-effective to tap. Some of these lands surround Chaco or its outliers while others help create a connective corridor spanning from the Park to the Ah-shi-sle-pah Wilderness Study Area (WSA) and Bisti/De-na-zin Wilderness.
Oil and gas development on state and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lands near the park have already impacted the Greater Chaco Landscape. Infrastructure such as roads, powerlines, pipelines, pump jacks, tanks, generators, and processing plants fragment wildlife habitat and impact the cultural landscape while flaring of oil and gas wells results in air pollution and impacts the dark night skies Chaco and Four Corners region currently boast. Intense land fragmentation from industrial development has left few areas of BLM lands roadless while health issues associated with pollution are on the rise in nearby native communities.
The threat of development in the Chaco region has gained national attention. In 2008, widespread publicity generated by conservation groups nationwide pressured Cimarex Energy to delay any immediate plans for developing leases visible from the park's Visitor Center. The New Mexico Wilderness Alliance and other groups have been working to forestall development on other lands in proximity to the Park with mixed results. While this delay is certainly a step forward, there is much more work to do to ensure Chaco Canyon and the lands that surround it are protected from development into the future.
Bureau of Land Management
While much of the land in the Greater Chaco Region is tribal, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) also administers millions of acres here through the Farmington BLM Field Office. Decisions made on the BLM lands surrounding Chaco have a direct impact on the park as well as on the natural and cultural features of the Greater Chaco landscape and the many native communities in this region.
A major land-use planning effort is currently underway which will impact how lands in the Greater Chaco region are managed in the coming decades. The Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) Farmington Field Office (FFO) is in the process of amending their 2003 Resource Management Plan (RMP) to address potential expansion of oil and gas development in the Mancos/Gallup Formation that lies beneath millions of acres of federal, state, private, and tribal lands in the Greater Chaco region.
Resource Management Plans dictate broad-stroke management decisions, usually at the Field Office level, including which areas are open and closed to oil and gas leasing. Each BLM Field Office is required to update its Resource Management Plan every 20 years. Sometimes a field office will decide to revise a portion of its plan before the 20-year period, if circumstances have changed enough to warrant a partial revision – this is called a Resource Management Plan Amendment.
The Farmington Field Office is currently between the public scoping phase and the release of the Draft RMPA/EIS phase. In late 2016, in response to pressure from tribal leaders, concerned citizens and congressional representatives for more comprehensive and cooperative management of cultural resources and sacred sites in the Greater Chaco Region, the BLM proposed a unique partnership with the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) in creating the plan. Through this cooperative interagency effort, the BIA will use the BLM's Environmental Impact Statement as the analytical basis for decisions pertaining to the leasing of Tribal trust and individual Indian allotted minerals within the Planning Area.
Right now, BLM anticipates release of the draft documents for public comment sometime in the next year. In the meantime, we have an opportunity to encourage and support the BLM in working with tribal leaders, the BIA and the NPS to ensure adequate protection for Greater Chaco.
Our goal is for the Chaco of tomorrow to be a place where future generations can still experience intact cultural and natural landscapes across the Greater Chaco Region. Decisions made in the BLM's land-use plan revision will either help or harm this outcome. Several proposals are currently being made by conservation groups, tribes and others to ensure protection for Greater Chaco. Here's what we support:
Buffer around Chaco and outlier sites
Conservation groups have been advocating for a moratorium on leasing within a 10 to 20-mile buffer around Chaco Culture National Historical Park and sufficient buffers around outlier sites to protect their cultural values. With the agency currently completing an amendment to their land-use plan to address increased oil and gas development in the Mancos-Gallup Formation near the park, groups have asked that all leasing within this buffer be postponed until the plan amendment is finalized. The agency has not formally agreed to this and has instead postponed leases in the buffer zone on a case-by-case basis.
Tribal consultation and interagency cooperation in management decisions
Interagency and inter-tribal cooperation and tribal consultation by agencies are important components of ensuring Chaco's past, present and future are protected. We support government-to-government consultation between tribal governments and federal agencies including the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) and National Park Service (NPS) during actions or management plans that may affect Chaco Canyon, traditional cultural properties and sacred sites in the Greater Chaco Region. This cooperation should also consider preservation of Chaco's dark night skies and the sensitive natural landscapes and ecology of the Greater Chaco Region.
Permanent protection of wildlands in the Greater Chaco Region
We are urging Senators Heinrich and Udall to reintroduce legislation to designate the 7,242-acre Ah-shi-sle-pah Wilderness Study Area (WSA) as wilderness and add 2,250 acres of eligible lands to the existing Bisti/De-na-zin Wilderness. Formal wilderness designation would effectively prevent oil and gas and other developments from impacting these areas. We continue to work on wilderness protection within park boundaries, as well. Approximately 20,000 acres of potential wilderness have been identified within Chaco Culture National Historical Park. On unprotected and still wild BLM lands surrounding Chaco we are advocating for administrative protection as 'lands with wilderness characteristics' as the Farmington BLM office drafts an amendment to their existing Resource Management Plan.
We need your help to PROTECT GREATER CHACO!
Here's how you can contribute:
Write your community leaders. Tell Senator Udall, Senator Heinrich, and Congressman Ben Ray Lujan that protection of the Greater Chaco Landscape is important to you, is good for New Mexico, and will help protect this national treasure for all Americans.
Participate in BLM planning. Submit a comment in support of protecting the BLM lands surrounding Chaco during the comment period for the Farmington Resource Management Plan Amendment.
Sign the petition. Add your name to our online petition to show BLM leaders and other decision-makers that Chaco is important to New Mexicans and all Americans.

The Evaluation Event will look at whether there are suitable boats for a possible Women's High Performance Dinghy event at the Olympic Sailing Competition. The six boats entered for the event are the 29er, 29erXX, RS800, Cherub Daemon, Carbonology GT60 and International 14.
In order to test the boats as fully as possible in the time available, ISAF is inviting MNAs to nominate national-level teams of women sailors, from which the Evaluation sailors can be selected. We regret that the ISAF cannot meet any costs incurred by such sailors.
ISAF are seeking to select a group of sailors covering a balanced range of weight, height, age and expert trapeze crews. Helms need not have had previous experience of helming from a trapeze.
How To Submit A Nomination
Nominations should include the following details:
- Name
- Weight
- Height
- Age
- Brief sailing qualifications, as helm and/or crew.
Nominations should be submitted as soon as possible, and no later than 23 March 2007.
To submit a nomination please contact your relevant MNA.
About The Women's High Performance Dinghy Evaluation Event
In advance of the decision on the ten events for the 2012 Olympic Games, which will be made at the 2007 ISAF Annual Conference this November, the Women's High Performance Dinghy Evaluation Event will look at whether there are suitable boats for a High Performance Dinghy event for a crew of two women.
The fundamental criteria set out by ISAF for the event included:
- The boat must be a monohull
- The dinghy must be able to sail faster off the wind than the wind
- The dinghy is for a crew of two women (average combined weight 120-140 kgs)
- Targeting a price of 14,500 Euros ready to sail
A report on the Evaluation Event will be completed by the ISAF Mid-Year Meeting, to be held in Paris, France from 4-6 May.
The Evaluation Event is part of ISAF's commitment to actively develop sailing at the highest level and keep pace with all the latest developments within the sport. Previous Evaluation Events have led to the adoption of the RS:X board as the new windsurfer for the 2008 Olympic Sailing Competition and the 49er as the first twin trapeze skiff with asymmetric spinnaker in the Olympic Games in Sydney 2000.
Details of the criteria and Evaluation Panel can be found on the ISAF Technical microsite - www.sailing.org/technical - or by CLICKING HERE.

Charles Walsh: Wishes for 2013 fishing season
Recommended Video:
Fishing and wishing for 2013:
• For the marine and inland fishing divisions of the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, we wish a much shorter name and an end to the rumors about reductions in the 2013 blackfish bag limit. It is true that keeper tautogs may not have been as abundant as they were in 2011, but the sheer numbers of shorts promised great things to come. Also, more great creative ideas for improving the fishery, like the list of fishing sites where shore fishers were allowed to take smaller blackfish and the Bonus Striper system in the Connecticut River. (How about expanding to the Housatonic?)
• For the Housatonic and Saugatuck rivers, and the Black Rock and Southport Milford harbors, we wish an awesome spring push of bunker, sand eels, herring and other tasty forage fish to be closely followed by schools of hungry stripers, blues, and flounder.
• For boaters, we wish calm waters, freedom from engine trouble and the too-common urge to speed through no-wake zones.
• For the trout fishers of Connecticut, an Opening Day that finds the freshly stocked rivers and streams flowing at a brisk pace, unlike last April, when some waterways were so low due to a lack of rain that dropping a handkerchief risked cutting off the flow entirely.
• For Senator Richard Blumenthal, we wish success in pulling the nation back from the fiscal cliff and a sudden onset of amnesia that causes him to forget about his dumb idea for making Long Island Sound into a marine sanctuary.
• For the Connecticut River, we wish a run of American shad equal to days of old, when the Essex Shad Festival had enough fish to feed the entire state.
• For Bass Pro Shops, we wish a quick resolution to the dispute between Bridgeport and the power companies over who will pay to have the utility lines at the company's proposed Bridgeport site. Come on power companies, man up!
• For striper fishers, we wish cows so big they do not fit in the photo frame and the fortitude to practice no-exceptions catch-and-release once the shutter clicks.
• For Ron Merly, who just completed a multi-year stint as president of the Nutmeg Chapter of Trout Unlimited, another state-record sea run brown trout like the one he caught in the Saugatuck River in 2006. Or, failing that, a fat broodstock Atlantic salmon from the Naugatuck River. Should that not happen, we wish him a big spring rush of Connecticut anglers eager to pick up a copy of his invaluable book, "Fly Fisher's Guide to Connecticut," hands down the best guide of its kind ever.
• For the Interclub Fishing Tournament, we wish a successful banquet in January -- where the winners of this year's tournament will receive their trophies after one of the best steak dinners anywhere. And for the 2013 tournament, we wish for enough blue so that no competing boat gets skunked. May the smallest
fish tip the scales at 14-plus pounds.
• For Black Rock tackle shop owner Jimmy Orifice, another banner blue crab year so he can spend more nights prowling dark waters with a flashlight and pole net. Just make sure we get invited to the dinner.
• For all anglers, salty and sweet, we wish a great New Year when you never hear the dreaded words: "Oh, man, you should have been here yesterday, we really hammered 'em."

Book Report on From a Buick 8 by Stephen King.
The book pretty much plays on the same violin that the movie Blair Witch Project played. It is what you don't know is the scariest.
I thought Stephen King did some excellent character studies of real-like people in the book, in a laid back kind of style.
Not bad.

Another pedestrian hit, killed in S.F.
(01-07) 22:03 PST SAN FRANCISCO -- A pedestrian was struck and killed by a car Tuesday evening while running across busy Van Ness Avenue in San Francisco, police said - the latest in a string of severe pedestrian accidents in the city since New Year's Eve.
The most recent death happened shortly after 6 p.m. when the pedestrian sprinted across Van Ness heading east near Grove Street, said Officer Albie Esparza, a police spokesman. The victim, a 38-year-old man, had been embroiled in a verbal altercation just before running into traffic, Esparza said, and made it across six of the street's seven lanes before being hit.
The man was hit by a Honda sedan, and the woman driving it stopped the car quickly after the impact, authorities said. The woman, who was in her 20s, did not appear to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
The victim died at the scene. No further identifications for him or the driver were available.
"There was apparently no negligence on the part of the driver, since the traffic was flowing at the time," Esparza said. "It was just a tragedy."
The incident was the third pedestrian fatality in the city since New Year's Eve, when a Honda SUV struck and killed 6-year-old Sophia Liu of San Francisco near Polk and Ellis streets and injured her mother and brother. The driver, Syed Muzaffar of Union City, was arrested on suspicion of vehicular manslaughter and failure to yield to pedestrians in a crosswalk.
Earlier that day, 86-year-old Zhen Guang Ng of San Francisco died after being hit by a Ford pickup at Rolph and Naples streets. The driver, Giampaolo Boschetti of San Francisco, was arrested on suspicion of vehicular manslaughter and failure to halt at a stop sign.
Four other pedestrians have also been injured by cars in the city since Dec. 31.
Esparza said investigators would appreciate calls from anyone who saw Tuesday night's altercation or the collision. They can be reached at (415) 575-4444.

Block Prints Exhibit at the Library at SUU
Published: February 09, 2005 | Author: Renee Ballenger | Category: Arts
Everett Ruess, a young artist and writer who wandered the wilds of the southwest, mysteriously disappeared in the Escalante canyons in 1934 at the age of twenty. He has since become both a legend and symbol of the wilderness he revered.
The love and respect Everett felt for the places he roamed were expressed in his poems and essays, as well as in the images he carved for his precious block prints. He would trade or sell these prints to the occasional tourist and passerby to help pay his way for himself and his burros. Thus the few extra dollars brought him to another vista, and eventually to another piece of art. His wanderlust and his art became inseparable.
The prints in this collection span the last five years of Ruess' short life, from the age of fifteen to twenty. They portray a variety of natural scenes and chronicle his travels along the California coast, high in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, and among the deserts and canyons of Utah and Arizona.
Five decades later these images still speak to us with vigor and force. They show the evolution of a maturing talent, fully capable of capturing nature in bold and simple terms.
Ruess' Block Prints can be seen on the third floor of the Library at Southern Utah University, now through February 28th.

Preserving Primacy
Naturally then, we must ask ourselves, what kind of comprehensive global strategy would preserve primacy most effectively in the face of so many, and varied challenges.
Primacy provides scores of benefits for the United States, it would not be practical for it to sit back and permit other states to catch up thus surrendering the many rewards of its international influence as sourced through its massive ideological, military, and economic capacity. Unquestionably, the U.S. must continually review its grand strategy for engaging with the world to preserve its present position, at least for as long as it can.
There are some clear considerations in light of this. U.S. military power although robust, should not be wasted needlessly, and its economy requires prudent management to enhance its long-term strength since its global power is also dependant on economic output. Especially given that, both the Chinese and Indian economies are set to be in the same league by around 2050 whilst declining and ageing populations will adversely affect the output of Japan, Russia, and the European Union. Also of concern is that both China and India are well placed to bite into America's technological advantages, accordingly to keep its edge, its task is to fashion a new evolving international economic architecture, one that will maintain stability and growth. U.S. vulnerability also stems through its considerable dependency on oil, indeed competition for natural resources is likely to peak well before 2050.1 Clearly, numerous trials will continue to beset U.S. policy makers, naturally then, we must ask ourselves, what kind of comprehensive global strategy would preserve primacy most effectively in the face of so many, and varied challenges.
Evidently, the present strategy whereby the U.S. attempts to run the course of global proceedings on its own, more or less setting the agenda and using military power to enforce it, is proving costly, I am not solely referring to Iraq. It is counterproductive to be derisive of existing institutions and indifferent toward the judgment of other nation states. In the longer term, this weakens America in two ways by eroding America's ability to attract the support of even some of its traditional allies and emboldening purported rogue states such as Iran and North Korea and past enemies like Russia who is presently engaged in both re-building and old-fashioned saber rattling. Finally, it also exacerbates existing anti-americanist views around the world. Global hegemony per se, as encouraged by the likes of Charles Krauthammer, William Kristol, and various individuals associated with the Project for a New American Strategy2 is realistically, beyond even the United States.
Nevertheless, there is nothing improper about the U.S. seeking to support only those forms of government embracing liberal democratic processes, nor is there anything wrong intervening in global affairs to encourage forms of regional balancing in favour of U.S. interests. To achieve this and notably, safeguard primacy, a stratagem that primarily employs America's traditional approach by which it deploys its power, in no uncertain terms, only when there exists a direct threat to its interests is now called for. Hence, offshore balancing which utilises and assists friendly regional powers (its allies and including Israel) to curb the rise of potential hostile nation states comes close to being the ideal option.
As stated in the opening paragraph this approach logically engages but more importantly, it is does not segregate. One must not assume that such a policy would render the U.S. inactive, more exactly; it would intervene even militarily but only when friendly regional powers are unable to act decisively of there own. Instead of trying to be the global police officer, the United States needs to adopt a more selective, restrained foreign policy with rules that concentrate on defending America's expansive array of vital interests. Because it limits military intervention overseas, offshore balancing in fact makes it less burdensome to intervene when genocide or other vital interests are threatened by rogue states, such as Iran.
American global pre-eminence is not a permanent arrangement but attempts to extend it through the present doctrine build resentment and resistance. Military power must be upheld perhaps even augmented but used more judiciously. The effects of such a strategy will filter through to other elements of U.S. relations and promote its economy, expand flows of information, technology, capital, goods and services. While terrorism and nuclear proliferation complicates matters it is through consensus coupled with military muscle that best results be achieved. Engagement therefore becomes paramount to U.S. interests for if America wants to retain its position of primacy for, as long as possible it must convince the world that its dominance is preferable to any alternatives. A better balance is sought as empires rule best and longest, through consent as opposed to force of arms. As a final point, it will also assist the United States through the enhancement soft power, winning hearts and minds, and respond effectively to competing worldviews, such as Chinese non-interference, Islamism, and European social democracy which are developing wide appeal of late.
1. In 2000, net U.S. oil imports, as a percentage of total supply was 52.8%, by 2025, it is estimated to be around 68%.
2. Established during the Clinton years, the goal of this educational institution is to promote the USA's world leadership, which critics interpret as a blueprint for world domination. Some 20 of its members took up positions in the Bush administration inc. the Vice President and Secretary of Defense. As a strong advocate of the invasion of Iraq, its reputation has been tarnished.

Miley Cyrus Obtains Restraining Order Against Fan
Miley Cyrus has obtained an emergency restraining order against a fan in Arizona after the man was arrested on May 16 trying to meet the singer.
According to the AP, a Los Angeles judge ordered Devon Meek of Arizona to stay away from Cyrus after he claimed that Cyrus was "communicating with him" through her songs on the radio.
On May 16, Meek was arrested in Arizona outside a property owned by Cyrus and was put in a psychiatric hospital. Police detective Rosibel Smith wrote in a sworn statement that Meek told officers they should "shoot him in the head if he couldn't meet Cyrus."
Smith wrote that a police officer who interviewed Meek "informed me that Mr. Meek stated that when he is released from the hospital, he will not stop seeking Ms. Cyrus and that he will continue to go to Ms. Cyrus' residence until Ms. Cyrus accepts him or he dies."
A hearing is scheduled for June 16 to determine whether the restraining order should be extended for another three years.

Three Letters
Non-member price: $19.47
Publisher's Summary
Three Letters is the brand new dramatic novel about the power of a father's love, a little boy's journey, and the desperate search for a place to call home, from number-one best-selling author Josephine Cox.
Eight-year-old Casey's mother, Ruth, is a cruel woman with a weakness for other women's husbands. Casey's father is gentle and hard-working and, though Tom Denton has long suspected his wife of having sordid affairs, he has chosen to turn a blind eye to keep the peace.
But then, out of the blue, Tom's world is completely shattered when he receives two bits of devastating news. Because of this, Tom realises that from now on their lives must change, forever. A broken man, Tom is made to fight for his son, determined to keep him safe.
But, when fate takes a hand, life can be unbearably painful, and Casey is made to remember his father's prophetic words: "It's done. The die is thrown, and nobody wins." But, unbeknownst to Casey, there are three letters penned by his father that may just change his destiny forever.

Maybe I'm too cynical but . . .
The core story might have been okay, but the writing and the narrator were painful. Are we to believe that a one night occurrence over seven years past and they are soul mates for life? Everyone in this story is lonely, as we are told over and over, and just need someone to love them. It seems even the nastiest person who treats everyone very badly is just misunderstood. As I said, the story could have been okay, but it was way over done, both in the writing and the narration. I struggled to reach the end without suffering from saccharine overdose.

Pushes Forgiveness
As my title indicates the book is big on forgiveness, but I'm sorry, the mum was the nastiest piece of work in this and I'd have had nothing to do with her, if it was me.
An 8 year old boy dotes on his father until one day a tragedy strikes and he is left to his grandfather's care. His mother has never loved him, but now she is facing hard times she is forced to relive her past and her feelings for him.

Apparently, 2013 is all about gender bending (and we're not just talking about Alex Wang's latest campaign). So, it's no surprise that perennial beautiful boy/beautiful girl Andrej Pejic is once again leading the unisexual pack.
The NYC-based androgyny king's latest outfit, — a onesie for dudes that he rocked at Jean Paul Gaultier's fall '13 menswear show — really has us scratching our heads. While the pinstripes lent the ensemble some Savile-row savoir faire, Pejic's gorgeous, made-up face detracted from any semblance of manliness that could possibly be found in slim-fit long johns. But, wait, we forgot to look at the crotch area. Urgh, our foreheads are officially wrinkled. What say you guys? Would you rock these PJs on cold nights, or will your snuggling stripes be a bit more easy access?

I'm going to make a post-New Year's prediction here: a few months from now, the new center city restaurant that will have all the foodies buzzing is the one with a Southwestern flair, a charming female chef, a funny name, a state-of-the-art LED lighting system and a variety of small plates that will make all your efforts at dieting go to waist. Customers will be vacuuming up lots of food on those small plates. It's Kokopelli, which opened recently at 1904 Chestnut St., which formerly housed Akoya and before that, Pearl, and before that, Little Pete's.
Kokopelli is the name of a fertility god to many Native Americans, and its symbol, a hunch-backed, flute-playing Casanova, is carved into many rock walls and boulders throughout the Southwestern U.S. You might say that this fertility god is now impregnating the 1900 block of Chestnut St. with sexy food. According to archeologists, some of the Kokopelli carvings are 3,000 years old. It is a sacred figure to many Southwestern Native Americans, and some of the dishes of Kokopelli's chef Gina Rodriguez just may be regarded as sacred by customers. If there is no statute of limitation on fawning, then I will be tooting her whistle for a while.
Gina, who told us shortly after Kokopelli's Dec. 2 debut that she had just seen snow for the first time in her life, was previously chef de cuisine at the LaCosta Resort and Spa in Carlsbad, California. Prior to that she was the first female chef at Loews Ventana Canyon Resort's Ventana Room in Tucson, Arizona, when that restaurant became one of only 57 restaurants in the country to win the AAA Five-Diamond Award. (Gina also has a degree in psychology, so she knows how to handle customers who do not respond to her charm offensive.)
Managing partner Adam Solomon, one of three partners in Kokopelli, is a Bucks County native who has been in the restaurant business "since before I could walk." His grandfather, Bob Zuckerman, was one of the creators of the Seafood Shanty chain of restaurants. After establishing a series of nightclubs, Adam began scouting for a restaurant of his own. "The 'old school' way of treating customers has gotten lost," said Adam, who schmoozes with customers at each table. "Many restaurant owners have gotten so caught up with fancy décor and other externals that they have forgotten about the personal touch with customers, which is what everybody wants."
Rodriguez has taken lots of familiar dishes and put a novel spin on them. For example, crispy quail with cayenne honey instead of fried chicken; or sliders with bison meat instead of ground beef. "What we are going for is to have every dish healthy and lean," said Solomon. "Nothing mass produced. People are becoming more adventurous with protein, for example, and they will put their toe in the water, but they won't jump in with their whole body. In other words, if we offered bison steak, no one would order it, but they will order the bison sliders because there is more familiarity with it."
The complex flavors here are just as genuine and inviting as our server, Liane Bell, who is also the marketing manager. Dishes that we would highly recommend are the corn bisque with grilled prawn, although it was not served hot ($6), a divine grilled Caesar salad ($6), sublime crab cakes with candied orange and coconut salad ($15), fiery garlic chili-glazed prawns, which we loved but which would undoubtedly be too incendiary for some folks ($9), spectacular chorizo mac and cheese ($6) and a magical flan caramel custard from Gina's family recipe. Beef tamales ($10) were just so-so, but we would echo the recent City Paper reviewer who wrote that "Rodriguez absolutely nails seafood."
Small plates range from $4 to $17, and the average diner will probably eat three. More than 50 varieties of tequila are available for a wide variety of prices, as well as nine commercial beers. There is a bar that seats 18 as well as a second floor private dining space. A small wine list is comprised of Spanish selections for about $8 a glass. A Budini Chardonnay from Argentina was flavor-challenged and had no after-taste. Specialty cocktails are very good but definitely overpriced, from $10.50 to $13.50.
Parking spaces are much easier to find now near Kokopelli since the city replaced most downtown meters with kiosks and doubled the prices. We got a space on the 2000 block of Chestnut Street. However, although the signs say that you can park for three hours, the kiosks will only take two hours worth of quarters ($4) and then spits any more back to you. This happened to us on two different nights last month on two different blocks of Chestnut Street. I'm sure you'll be shocked, gentle reader, that the Philadelphia Parking Authority has managed to screw this up.

NaNoWriMo Official Site
I know some of you are familiar with this already, but many are not. NaNoWriMo - National Novel Writing Month - is a challenge issued to anyone and everyone interested to write a 50,000 word novel in the month of November. More information can be read at their website, but the rules are simple: you can't start writing until November 1st, what you write has to be new (not editing an older work), and to "win" (though there's no prize, except to be on the Winner's List and get a nifty icon on the Nanowrimo boards) you have to write 50,000 words (verified by their word counting software) by midnight, November 30th. You can prewrite (make character notes, outline, sketch, doodle, and panic) before the 1st, but you can't write the actual text.
I've never participated before, but I finally got the guts to this year (or lost the brain cells). I'd like to hold this thread open for mutual support for others here on the Scholars taking the nanowrimo challenge (and for discussion of it itself).
Let me give a basic gist of what I'm doing with my own novel and why.
In early 2003, my grandfather passed away after a battle with leukemia. I was at peace with that, because of the incredible relationship that he and I had (which was mostly developed and shown in silence). I've wanted to try to write about that relationship for a while now, but I have been too reluctant to; firstly because of fear of my own grief, and secondly because of fear of my own writing abilities (a phase I've gone through before).
The idea behind this novel, then, is of a young Native Peoples girl (fictional; I'm not going to put the research in on a real group), a healer by trade, who must deal with her grandfather's death, as well as his dying wish that she take his place as a warrior of the tribe. The main text of the novel will deal with her struggle to understand her grief, and her struggle to change her path in life, while remembering back to times with her grandfather as a girl. Beyond that plot, so far, I don't know.
So, who's participating, and what are your ideas? I know at least one Scholar has to be as crazy as me.

In Turner's beautifully epic portrayal of Homer's Odyssey, we see Ulysses standing aloft on his ship deriding the Cyclops, whom he and his companions have just left blinded, and invoking the vengeance of Neptune. One of the flags is painted with the scene of the Trojan Horse. The horses of the Sun are rising above the horizon ('Odyssey', Book 9). Opening on Monday, visit 'Thomas Cole: Eden to Empire' and see Turner's influence on this American artist: http://bit.ly/2JsMlxa

This Volunteers' Week we are celebrating the extraordinary contribution of over 500 volunteers at Tate who give their time, passion & expertise to visitors from all over the globe, across our four galleries. 'I didn't know anything about contemporary art until I started volunteering at Tate in 2016. I've learnt a lot! I love passing on this knowledge to visitors. It keeps my brain active! My favourite room in Tate Britain is the 1840s room and my favourite painting is The Lady of Shalott. I like all the Pre-Raphaelites in Tate Britain. This is my favourite room and my favourite place to be.' - Steve Daszko, volunteer visitor host with John William Waterhouse's The Lady of Shalott 1888 https://goo.gl/RvZ97V

Gun of the Day - NRA Museums 2018-06-07 13:01
GUN OF THE DAY - A Ranger 1911A1? The Robert E. Petersen Gallery holds many unusual handguns and this Colt 1911A1 is right in there swinging. While some might be captivated by the fine set of stag grips on this GOTD, the oddly truncated trigger guard sets this pistol apart. There are a number of similar handguns in existence that were modified by Texas Ranger Captain Manuel T. Gonzaullas, who spent considerable time in later life in Hollywood, not far from where Robert E. Petersen lived. Is this one of that Ranger's handguns? We just don't know.

Gauguin was born #OnThisDay in 1848. 'Bowl of Fruit and Tankard before a Window' by Gauguin is a tribute to a Cézanne painting Gauguin had acquired around 10 years earlier, 'Still Life with Compotier, Glass and Apples'. It repeats many of the elements of this painting, such as the fruit, pottery, rumpled tablecloth and the knife at the lower right. On a wider level it is also indicative of Gauguin moving away from Impressionism to a more structurally rigorous art exemplified by Cézanne's work.

Carbon fibre is pretty, and it's a cool technique to implement with car design... but what about doors? Who cares, you say? I agree, but it still didn't stop this door from becoming a reality.
In addition to the hefty $US15,000 price tag, this door boasts a biometric sensor that serves as the lock. Oh, and lots of carbon fibre. Did we mention it's made of carbon fibre? There was, sadly, no word on what this door was protecting. An underground secret lair, perhaps?
Anyway, we sincerely hope the wealthy Brazilian businessman who commissioned this piece gets his money's worth, because this sucker would do nicely as the door to the next Gizmodo Gallery, don't you think? [Carbon Fibre Gear]

Many people assume that because motion control equipment is precise and repeatable, that shots filmed with motion control will feel sterile or mechanical. The two commercials below illustrate how motion control can be used to capture a "live" or "hand held" camera feel, while still allowing for precise repeatability for filming multiple passes and background plates.
Pacific Motion Control can provide handwheels or panbar encoders for live control of our motion control pan/tilt, or pan/tilt/roll heads. Additionally, we can provide encoders for dolly/track, all crane axes, and focus, iris and zoom, which allow for complete control of the rig and camera lens when designing shots. This means that very organic moves can be recorded live, then repeated precisely. In addition to our standard encoder package, Pacific Motion Control can provide a Preston FIZ motion control interface or a full Preston kit including wireless hand controller, receiver, and motors.

BRUSSELS, July 22 (UPI) -- The European Union ministers' blacklisting of the military arm of militant Hezbollah drew praise from the Obama administration and congressional leaders Monday.
The European Union's 28 foreign ministers voted to blacklist the terrorist group during a meeting in Brussels.
"It is good that the EU has decided to call Hezbollah what it is: a terrorist organization," Dutch Foreign Minister Frans Timmermans said in a statement shortly after the decision was reached in Brussels.
"The EU's decision sends a strong message to Hezbollah that it cannot operate with impunity," said White House press secretary Jay Carney. "This designation will have a significant impact on Hezbollah's ability to operate freely in Europe by enabling European law enforcement agencies to crack down on Hezbollah's fundraising, logistical activity, and terrorist plotting on European soil."
U.S. Secretary John Kerry and congressional representatives also hailed the unanimous decision.
Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Menendez, D-N.J., said the bloc "deserves praise" for its decision, even if it isn't targeting the entire group, The Hill reported.
"While I believe that the entire Hezbollah organization unabashedly qualifies for a place on the European Union list of terrorist organizations, today's decision will send a clear message to Hezbollah, and to their primary backer Iran, that Europe is not a safe haven for terrorists," Menendez said. "Hezbollah's military actions in Syria have further cemented Hezbollah's terrorist affiliation and I welcome the unity of purpose with which the U.S. and the EU are approaching this issue."
Timmermans said the designation effectively will limit Hezbollah's "capacity to act," The New York Times reported. Sanctions were expected to include travel bans and asset freezes.
Britain pressed for the listing following a 2012 terrorist attack in Bulgaria in which five Israeli tourists and their Bulgarian driver were killed, and a March conviction of a Hezbollah operative in Cyprus for plotting a similar attack.
Support for sanctioning Hezbollah has risen in recent months because of the organization's support for Syrian President Bashar Assad in his campaign against a two-year uprising.
"As Hezbollah has deepened its support for the brutal Assad regime and worked to expand its global reach through increased involvement in international criminal schemes and terrorist plots around the world," Kerry said, "a growing number of governments are recognizing Hezbollah as the dangerous and destabilizing terrorist organization that it is."

The book is about a cowboy who needs a bath. The official description is:
"After he finds a tumbleweed in his chaps and the numerous bugs buzzing around him affect his hearing, the cowboy decides it's time to head to the river. Once there, he peels off all his clothes and tells his trusty old dog to guard them against strangers. He takes a refreshing bath and emerges clean as corn – but so fresh-smelling that his dog doesn't recognize him! Negotiations over the return of the clothes prove fruitless. A wrestling match ensues in a tale that grows taller by the sentence, climaxing in a fabric-speckled dust devil."Just to be clear - there is NO unacceptable nudity in the book. Adam cleverly concealed anything that anybody might find offensive. In fact, that's part of the fun of the book - how creative he got with hiding the cowboy's nakedness. Many a Norman Rockwell magazine cover showed more nudity than this book does!
Luckily, there has been some push-back from the Lebanon community. A local math teacher did a reading at a "Celebration of Reading" event. (You can see him reading it HERE - with commentary on the censorship and the entire reading.) Amy has been interviewed twice. (You can read her original write-up on the controversy at HER BLOG and a FOLLOW-UP POST HERE.) And of course she's getting lots of support from our very tight creative community.
Here was the book trailer she did way back when...
You can actually hear Amy's grandfather ("Papa") telling the story HERE. And there was even an adaptation made about it for musical theater for kids!
Want to take action against censorship and especially the censorship of this wonderful book? Go buy a copy! Show your support.
Oh, and support the author! Amy has a new book coming out this January called ONE CAME HOME.

Eliminating the Spread of HIV/AIDS in Africa: One Small Medical Caravan at a Time
If the only image you have of Africa is that of a continent continually in a state of crisis, then you are severely mistaken. It is time Westerners stop characterizing Africa as a bottomless pit of despair, and a continent ridden in abject poverty. We can no longer afford to distort its reality with misconceived assumptions.

Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert is looking forward to having a fully fit Richard Dunne available before long after the centre-back underwent hip surgery in the United States.
Dunne has yet to play under Lambert in the Barclays Premier League since the Scot took charge in the summer, having initially suffered his fitness setback during the Republic of Ireland's Euro 2012 campaign.
The 33-year-old former Manchester City player underwent two rounds of surgery before it was determined he would need to go overseas for the treatment that would get him playing again.
Villa manager Paul Lambert said: "'Dunny' got hurt at the Euros and it's never really cleared up. I think that's where it's come from.
"He had another operation yesterday in America so hopefully once and for all that will be cleared up.
"I think America was the only place he could get that done. He'll come back in the next few days and hopefully then start his rehab and get going again.
"It's all stemmed from his hip area.
"We tried to sort out one thing and then it went to another, then it's gone to another thing. I've never seen anything like this. I don't think the medical people have seen anything like this."
Lambert insists Villa have not looked at trying to obtain compensation from the Football Association of Ireland over the matter.
He said: "I've not gone down that road. Injuries can happen to players, sometimes you get to the bottom of it, sometimes it takes longer than you think.
"As a footballer you get frustrated because you can't put your finger on what's gone wrong with you. Hopefully this time this has worked."
Lambert was hoping a sickness bug at the club this week would be under control ahead of today's clash at Liverpool.

Noted blatherer Hawk Harrelson is really only at a loss for words when the White Sox managed to inexplicably blow a lead late in the game and lose. For example, maybe Chicago is playing at Fenway and about to pull off an efficient 1-0 win thanks to eight solid innings from starting pitcher Jose Quintana. Then, let's say, Cody Ross steps in and belts a three-run, walk-off home run over the Monster. Yeah, that's the exact sort of scenario that might leave Harrelson in stunned disbelief. [MLB]
Update, July 20: Video removed at MLB's request. You can still listen to the audio, though.
