Area Roundup: Hawk basketball sweeps North Mahaska
The girls of Lynnville-Sully blew past the Montezuma Braves Friday Night, winning 63-30. The Hawks got strong performances out of juniors Rachel Van Wyk and Cassie Cullen. Van Wyk picked up 16 points and 10 rebounds while Cullen led all scorers with 18 points on seven of 14 shooting.
"We played a very good first half defensively not letting Montezuma get into their offense. We attacked the rim and got some good looks inside. In the third quarter we didn't come out ready to play." Hawks coach Jerry Hulsing said.
The Lynnville-Sully boys beat the Montezuma Braves 57-44 on Friday night on the back of a strong first half performance. The Hawks led 38-20 after the first two quarters and were able to hold on despite being outscored 24-19 in the second half.

Watertown— Whether you are at Perch Lake, Lake Ontario, Oneida Lake, or near the Finger Lakes, being on ice for any reason, can be dangerous. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources pointed out some helpful tips in the case you fall into thin ice.
· Don't remove your winter clothing. Heavy clothes won't drag you down, but instead can trap air to provide warmth and flotation. This is especially true with a snowmobile suit.
· Turn toward the direction you came. That's probably the strongest ice.
· Place your hands and arms on the unbroken surface. This is where a pair of nails, sharpened screwdrivers or ice picks come in handy in
· providing the extra traction you need to pull yourself up onto the ice.
· Kick your feet and dig in your ice picks to work your way back onto the solid ice. If your clothes have trapped a lot of water, you may have to lift yourself partially out of the water on your elbows to let the water drain before starting forward.
· Lie flat on the ice once you are out and roll away from the hole to keep your weight spread out. This may help prevent you from breaking through again.
· Get to a warm, dry, sheltered area and re-warm yourself immediately. In moderate to severe cases of cold-water hypothermia, you must seek medical attention. Cold blood trapped in your extremities can come rushing back to your heart after you begin to re-warm. The shock of the chilled blood may cause ventricular fibrillation leading to a heart attack and death!

Racialicious Crush Of The Week: Beyoncé (With Shout-Outs To Tina Turner)
By Andrea Plaid
I find myself increasingly defending someone whom I otherwise wouldn't look around at or wouldn't listen to: Beyoncé.
I haven't converted to listening to her discography: To me, she sounds like every other Black female soloist in a Black church choir, so her voice–her timbre and melisma–isn't unicorn-unique to my ears. In fact, I find it gratingly common because I heard so many women with her voice every Sunday from the age of five to my late twenties; Beyoncé just has a better production team.
And, as I've said on the R, her female-empowerment messages aren't my feminism:
[S]ome of folks who see Bey as "girl power" may have never heard of Valenti or may even want to be bothered with her writings or what they perceive to be "white feminism" that she embodies. Bey is their feminist text and their idea–and ideal. And whatnot…On the real though, Bey is not my sort of feminism–and that's not blasphemous to say. Then again, neither were the Spice Girls…or the Riot Grrls, for that matter. And I remember folks tripped on each of those pop-cultural "generations" of feminist representations, too, trying to figure out their effects on younger people.
Feminism is rather malleable as each generation figures out what it means to them, even when we're fighting the same old battles. Or because of them.
And let's not forget Beyoncé now-notorious photo layout in French Vogue, which she said was an homage to "African queens in the past" and "African rituals":
And I was quite happy to leave Beyoncé to her ideas about race pride and "girl power" with a genuinely heartfelt "bless her heart"…until Harry Belafonte came along.
As some Racializens may remember, Belafonte accused the younger generations of celebrities like Beyoncé and her spouse Jay-Z of not doing their fair share of activism, meaning feet in the streets and speaking out on the pressing issues of the day. I defended her philanthropy, like her giving her paycheck from Cadillac Records to a drug rehab center and her working with FLOTUS Obama on the First Lady's "Let's Move" campaign, as her form of activism. As I said to the Huffington Post Live producers when they e-interviewed me about my take on the kerfuffle:
"Harry Belafonte is defining activism in a rather narrow way…for Belafonte to say Beyoncé is doing activism wrong because that's not the way he does it is a bit off-putting. For people like Beyoncé, what they're doing is activism; they are bringing awareness to an issue in their own way."
And, as I had to remind a Black Baby Boomer who wanted to put forth the same argument as Belafonte's on a Facebook thread regarding the Huffington Post Live debate, quite a few people many not have participated in the sit-in and other protests during the Civil Right Movement due the real material fear of losing their jobs, but they did their own activism by putting some extra money in the offering trays to serve as the protesters' bail money. He promptly hushed.
Oh yeah…there was Beyoncé's "faked" pregnancy. Some Black female performers I knew slagged that Beyoncé's couldn't possibly have been pregnant because she would've "gotten fat like her mother," Tina Knowles. No, these women and other Beyoncé baby-bump conspiracy theorists opined, a surrogate mother carried Blue Ivy Knowles-Carter, and Beyoncé carried some contraption that made her look pregnant, which gave her an excuse to gain whatever weight she wanted. Not that a more likely possibility could have been that she was actually, factually pregnant and that, due to her probably being in top physical condition because she's exercising via her dancing, could have had the theoretical "training effect" going on, which kept her baby weight to a certain poundage…or something like that. Nope, deflating pregnancy suits and surrogate moms. Well, the only remotely conspiratorial thing that happened with Blue Ivy's birth was that the hospital that handled it received complaints from non-famous parents that organization placed the Knowles-Carters' privacy above and beyond the other parents' right to have access to their own newborns, some of whom were born premature. (Lenox Hospital dismissed the other parents' claims.) The most unfortunate thing about this slaggy theory is that Beyoncé had her gestating and birthing experience marred by having to negate the rumors–which hews a little too closely to Black cis women's reproductive decisions and life constantly and, more insidiously, publicly questioned, from the Moynihan Report to the questions-wrapped-up-in-a-stereotype of the Welfare Queen to the anti-abortion billboards accusing Black cis women of literally having unsafe wombs or killing a future president.
Of course, there was the tempest-in-a-teapot controversy of her faking her own performance at POTUS Obama's second inaugural celebration. While Marine Corp Band officials waffled on confirming and denying what happened, music experts dissected the mechanics on the Beyoncé's allegedly inauthentic singing, and some Republicans wanted to end the President's new tenure over it, singing legend Aretha Franklin had to stack some facts: "But, when I heard the news this evening that she was pre-recorded I really laughed…I thought it was funny because the weather down there was about 46 or 44 degrees and for most singers that is just not good singing weather." As my mom said about the whole thing: "It would be different if Beyoncé did something like Milli Vanilli. But she lip-synced. To. Her. Own. Voice. I don't see the problem here." Not only does the controversy play too neatly in the Black-folks-are-forever-lazy stereotype, but it's also the twin okey-doke myths of a Black women simply won't ever give her utmost for Black men and that a Black woman's decision always brings down a Black man, in this case, one of the most powerful Black men in the world–and the US' first Black president, at that. Glad folks moved on from this foolishness–and enough of them gave it some direct side-eye along the way.
What finally moved me to the edge of actually liking Beyoncé is that she made her married name a pop-cultural event–more accurately, the bullshit pushback about it moved me to that edge.
I asked Racialicious' Senior Editor (and feminist co-conspirator) Tami Winfrey Harris about the tour's name. She replied:
Normally, I find the whole "Mrs. X" cuteness annoying. Don't get me wrong, I support a woman's right to call herself whatever the hell ever, but, let's face it, married women giving up their names is a vestige of patriarchy. We choose our choices, but not in a vacuum.
That said…
I got no beef with Bey and The Mrs. Carter Tour. Again, most of the people all het up about it are not taking into account sexism as it relates to black women and images of family as they relate to the black community.
Bey ain't giving in to any patriarchal view on marriage; the patriarchy is pretty insistent that black women are unmarriageable, unloving and unloved. And no way you can argue that Beyonce has given up her identity for Jay-Z's. She's Bey-fucking-once. No one forgets that. And it's interesting that, at the same time folks are complaining about the endangered black family and off-the-chain single, black women, they also want to come for a black woman who "did it right" by Judeo-Christian, middle-class, heteronormative, white standards, and is celebrating her love for her husband and child.
Example eleventybillion that as black women we are damned if we do and damned if we don't.
And feminist homegurl Morgane Richardson had this to say:
The debate about the tour is ridiculous. To be honest, I probably wouldn't have understood a year ago, but having a loving partner whom I am married to and wanting to honor that family unit doesn't mean that you dont have your own power, strength, determination, personality, etc. If she wants to identify as Mrs. Carter, then who are we to judge?
If some other feminists and other folks could be as cool as Tami and Morgane. Suffice to say, Beyoncé naming her upcoming tour "The Mrs. Carter Tour" apparently cause quite a few women in the opining class to clutch their pearls over such a–I'll say it–traditional moniker. The women state, in various ways, that such a "feminist icon" like Beyoncé sets "The Feminist Movement" back to the days before Betty Friedan's The Feminine Mystique by now claiming her husband's name, which piles on the slut-shaming criticisms about her on-stage wardrobe, her sexy magazine covers, and her steamy videos. The Frisky's Andrea Grimes did posit something of a racial analysis as to why Beyoncé would name her tour as such:
Beyoncé's performance of "Mrs. Carter" is, of course, complicated by the politics of race and class, in addition to gender. One thing white feminists haven't generally understood is how remarkable it is for a black woman, be it Michelle Obama or Beyonce Knowles-Carter, to live publicly as a feminine, motherly, wifely person. So I want to put the individual (and my kneejerk) criticism of Beyoncé aside, because I don't think it's as easy as saying, "There's nothing feminist about Beyoncé going on tour as Mrs. Carter."
And that's where Grimes should have wrapped up her analysis…but she didn't. She went on about how Beyoncé shouldn't bless her tour with her married name because guys like her husband Jay-Z wouldn't think to do such a public-y thing with his married name–the Google-able fact of Jay-Z legally changing his name to "Knowles-Carter" notwithstanding. So, to play with the cliche, if the goose ain't doing it, the gander shouldn't, either. And Grimes goes so far as to question the name change itself, stating that " I don't precisely see why Jay-Z had to take the name "Knowles" for the kids to get the name — apart from the fact that we continue to think that a kid without his dad's name is somehow less legitimate than one with his mother's name." Such doubting of the Knowles-Carters' decision in configuring their family as they see fit from a white woman reminds me of white feminist Jaclyn Friedman's now-notorious (and since apologized-for) unsolicited advice to them: it's the racialized position of white people outside of the Black familial unit perceiving themselves to know "better" than the Black parents who are handling the child-rearing decisions. I call it The White Social Worker Syndrome.
And that syndrome dovetails into respectability politics–and the latter definitely showed itself when some people of color I know on Facebook started mom-shaming Beyoncé for wearing her Super Bowl costume, stating that "she's a mother now!" and–like taking on her married name–she shouldn't sport such an thing. On my own FB page I said:
And let's not forget that the woman Beyonce admires, Tina Turner, wore some skimpy gear as a performer and she was a [working] mom. IIRC, she's famous not only her brilliant voice but also her short skirts, tight pants, and high heels which show off her famous legs. And, hold up: didn't Mama Turner–now a grandmother–wear said outfit in a duet with the younger singer?

So, yeah, I'm on Team Beyoncé now. See what a lot of bullshit drives you to?

Love. This. I am one of those who is firmly in the "Beyonce is the queen of the universe" camp. Actually remarked to a friend that her blackness is a part of why I love her. This whole essay just explicates allllll the very many reasons I think she's dope, you say it better than I ever could….and you do it as a not-quite-rabid fan. Dig it. Thanks for writing this. Especially love the commentary on how revolutionary it is for her to embody the role of black wife and mother AND performance artist AND businesswoman.
I'm not the biggest Bey fan (tho I love her music) but she's pretty badass. Let's not forget her all-women band! They're cool too!
http://nakiahansen.com Nakia H.
Was the inclusion of the New Yorker's "Borowitz Report" link tongue-in-cheek or serious? Because that's clearly a satire blog and it wasn't clear from the context whether Andrea meant for it to be seen as such.
I have vowed to never click on a certain heteronormative blog (or shrine) that has scraped its knees over this women. I really do not want to leave another blog too. I just don't understand the appeal and allegiance over this women. Musicality and feminist politics–both problematic. It was disturbing to hear the POTUS declare her a role model and not someone who well…does not have to show the underbelly of a breast for appeal and then is awarded a journalism award. I have to fight with my nieces constantly about the importance of education and not skin or fashion over this women and plenty of others. Why are we venerating this women? How is she creating progress? In what forms?
Nakia and Hannah–Thanks so much for pointing this out to me. However, my inclusion is meant to be tongue-in-cheek…though, considering how quite a few Republicans earnestly and seriously sound like The Onion to the point that folks do wonder…well, I'll leave it at that.
Cid–I need you to re-read my post. I never said I liked Beyonce's singing, and I state why in the *second* paragraph:
"she sounds like every other Black female soloist in a Black church choir, so her voice–her timbre and melisma–isn't unicorn-unique to my ears. In fact, I find it gratingly common because I heard so many women with her voice every Sunday from the age of five to my late twenties; Beyoncé just has a better production team."
Nor do I say that I think she's a feminist in my book:
"On the real though…Bey isn't my sort of feminism–and that's not blasphemous to say."
In fact, I encourage you to read the link from which I pulled that quote: Latoya, Arturo, and I have a long discussion about why we *don't* think Beyonce is a feminist.
However, I do think that, for her not appealing to my ears or my feminism–and having some rather questionable colorist politics in her French Vogue photoshoot–I find myself thinking that she's all right in the scheme of Black women to like *in my book* because she goes through similarly ugly questioning that quite a few of us Black women go through about how her Black body moves through this society, from how she chooses to be an activist to her wanting to celebrate her married life in the form of her tour name to her reproductive, sexual, and parenting decisions.
Now, I think that, if I were you, I wouldn't fight Beyonce, but use her as a teaching moment for your nieces. My approach would be something like, "The questions about how and where to show your body and what you want to do with it will be something you will face your whole life–Beyonce, being a grown woman, is making hers. And she may change over time. I feel that she is one of *many,* from Mae Jemison to Viola Davis to Raven Symone to Keke Palmer. But I want you to know that, most importantly, you have time to make those decisions. During that time…let's look at the many options of Black woman you can be."
Thanks for the thoughtful response back. I appreciate your candor and time. What I'm getting at is the surplus of articles about this women around this similar idea/theme of reconciling her womanhood and blackness (even though she denounces it occasionally depending on what audience). There is so much problematic fodder writers or commenters have to discount or forewarn before the actual defense.
My concern is accountability and standards. Blogs allocated towards the discussion of race or feminism appear to post more articles supporting Beyonce than really critiquing her actions. I understand that fully in context. She is a woman of color under the eyes of -isms; however, she is also supporting these -isms. Her agency and this relationship with womanism is hardly explored (more as a precursor, hardly the meat of the article). I have always been confused surrounding the discussion about her because she is so manufactured–which is nothing nuanced in pop.
Now that she has a tour, I'm well aware I will not be able to escape her presence in the media. However, the diversity of topics and discussions sure could help.
But it's also the way that she "moves" in these very real ways even as she is very manufactured–that contradiction–that I think makes Beyonce an interesting person, and perhaps the reason why people dedicate so much space to her. I mean, as I mentioned in the post, there are folks who think she faked a pregnancy because they perceive Beyonce to be so manufactured and not even interrogate how that idea gets into the rather womanist/Black feminist conversations about how Black women are always publicly questioned about our reproductive choices and lives. (I don't really recall anyone spinning fake-pregnancy theories about, say, Madonna, Britney Spears, or Jessica Simpson. They, unlike Beyonce, received the benefit of the doubt about their actually being pregnant, and they're manufactured pop stars, too.)
So, no, I don't think that Beyonce is a paragon of womanism or feminism–and I'm not quite sure if I want her to be or even if I need to hold her to a "standard" of womanism or feminism, though I understand the desire to not to have to fight so hard against what seems to play into stereotypical presentation(s) of Black womanhood that quite a few of us couldn't get away with outside of the bubble of entertainment, let alone having to dissuade younger women from emulating such presentations. I think that's why I advised showing your nieces various presentations of Black womanhood, from Beyonce to Eartha Kitt to Lena Horne to Tina Turner to Esperanza Spalding to Mae Jemison to Viola Davis to Raven Symone to Audre Lorde to Barbara Jordan to Kerry Washington to Gwen Ifill to Keke Palmer to Raven Symone to Monica Roberts to Janet Mock. Show your nieces the plethora, so they know there are choices–and combinations of choices–about how to be a Black woman in this world.
I hardly think this topic is even worthy of such a literary debate. Beyonce is a black woman who is living HER life as best she can while being under the scrutiny of a public who loves to tear down the very "celebrity" they create. It is ridiculous to judge her on whether or not her actions are in line with feministic ideals. She is a performer. She doesn't identify herself as a feminist. She is, however a talented (and No her singing voice is not common in every church), record-breaking recording artist, who inspires other women. She has dared to call herself KingBey, demand that she is worthy of being a wife vs. wifey and flaunts her femininity with power. So if that doesn't "fit" into some image of feminism, thats fine. She's not trying to do that. Debate the scholars who do identify themselves as feminists. Let her live and stop exemplifying this "crabs-in-the-bucket" mentality with back-handed compliments and contradictory criticism. Most of all it's insulting to see black "feminists" down rate another black woman for being happily married, a proud mother and being unashamed of her body (a body-type that has historically been shamed by the majority.)
We have got to do better. -

Nürnberg/Friesoythe – LEONI Special Cables Friesoythe GmbH &Co. KG, a subsidiary of LEONI Kabel GmbH & Co. KG, has been awarded a contract by Siemens AG for the supply of telecommunication cable assemblies for expanding future-oriented ADSL connections provided by Deutsche Telekom and other network operators. The volume of the three-year contract exceeds more than DM 100 million. The company has also signed a follow-up contract with Siemens AG for the supply of telecommunication cable assemblies for digital switching system exchanges. This contract will also cover a three-year term and will also involve sales in excess of more than DM 100 million.
ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) is a new transmission technology that permits data transmission 12 times as fast as conventional ISDN technology. ADSL transfers data from the Internet to the user`s PC at speeds up to 768 kilobits per second. By the end of 2000, Deutsche Telekom intends to provide ADSL connections in 600 local exchanges in Germany under the family brand T-DSL. LEONI is working flat out to supply the required special cables quickly.
ADSL networks represent a new application for LEONI specialcables. In contrast, the follow-up contract is for cable assemblies that have long been used in digital switching systems. Siemens markets these to telecommunication providers throughout the world. A digital switching system connects the caller to the desired party electronically and provides the technological basis for telephone, fax, and Internet communication.
LEONI Special Cables Friesoythe GmbH & Co. KG has been a subsidiary of LEONI Kabel GmbH & Co. KG for over a year. Former affiliated with Siemens AG, the company has significantly expanded LEONI`s palette of special cables for telecommunication, automation, transportation, and medical technology.

How can light travel more than 13.7 billion light-years in 13.7 billion years?
William B. Keith
THE EDITORS REPLY: Space is expanding, carrying objects such as galaxies and photons with it, so light travels a greater distance than a simple calculation (such as speed multiplied by time) might suggest. An object that emitted light 13.7 billion years ago is now 42 billion light-years away. This figure depends on the values of cosmological parameters.
As a biostatistician, I concur with Charles Seife's critical comments about the abuses of the so-called p-value as a measure of statistical significance of data in "The Mind-Reading Salmon" [Advances]. Statisticians have criticized this methodology before, sometimes even recommending banning it. I would temper such criticism, however, by pointing out that there are a variety of adjustments to p-values to take into account the kind of multiple-testing artifact Seife refers to, and they are often used (though perhaps not as much as they should be).
Another issue relevant to this topic is the publication bias of many journals, which often give greater weight toward publishing articles that report statistically significant findings over those that don't. I have advocated before that one way to mitigate problems with null-hypothesis significance testing is for editors of scientific journals to employ "results blind" decision making in determining whether to publish and make it be known that they are doing so. Articles should be accepted for publication based primarily on the judged importance and relevance of the reported study, which is usually stated and defended in the "introduction" section of the manuscript, and whether the methodology (including that of the data analysis) is sound, which can be assessed via the "methods" section of the manuscript.
With this kind of review process, if 20 studies of the effectiveness of a truly ineffective drug are conducted, and one of them shows a significant effect with a p-value of 0.05 because of chance alone, investigators for the other 19 studies not showing any effect would presumably not be inhibited from writing up and submitting reports of these for publication out of fear that they'll be denied publication because of their nonsignificant results. Publishing of those results would then cause the scientific audience to be rightly skeptical of the one significant finding amid the many reports not demonstrating it.

Picture perfect eating

At your next meal, take a moment to look at your food. Notice how it looks on the plate. Is it attractive? Notice the colors, textures, shapes and sizes of the different foods. Does the sight please your eye as much as your palate?
For a twist on healthy meal planning, pretend you're a chef or food stylist. The empty plate is your canvas. Half of it will be filled with fruits and vegetables, one-fourth will be protein and the final fourth can be grains or starchy foods. Now think about creating a meal that could be the cover of a food magazine. It will need to be colorful, and have a variety of shapes and textures.
How would you picture lasagna? Will it have layers of red plum tomato sauce, crescent-shaped zucchini, white low-fat ricotta speckled with green spinach leaves, and wavy whole-grain lasagna noodles? Or perhaps you're imaging lasagna deconstructed, with each food individually displayed on the plate. How would you present a fish dinner? Would the plate hold steamed bright green and orange vegetables, a crusty whole-grain hard roll, and white fish with green herbs and a wedge of lemon? Or would you pile up dark green and purple lettuce leaves, sprinkled with bite-size squares of red bell pepper, kernels of yellow corn, and white and green cucumbers, topped with grilled tuna steak and a drizzle of balsamic vinaigrette?
Now you have some ideas for putting together meals that are as tempting as they are healthy. Use these mental images — or mix them up — to create real meals. Who knows, you may discover you're a budding food artist.
Let me know if this technique for healthy meal planning helps you enjoy more nutritious meals.

Do you have a recipe for "cabbage soup"? I'm a type 2 diabetic and am always looking for new & interesting ways to get a lot of veggies in my day. Years ago there was a delicious recipe for cabbage soup based on using V-8 or tomato juice, chopped cabbage and herbs and spices and it was yummy. Any ideas? Thanks!

As a chef and now a nutrition student, I think this is very good advice and a fun way to encourage people to be creative when planning an appealing and healthy meal. Yummy food images always open our appetite and our inspiration, so picturing in your head the final product and of course adding all those colorful greens and vegetables, is a great way of planning your next meal. I like how you describe half of the plate being full of fruits and vegetables, as most people usually fall short on the intake of this super important food group.

Dear Jennifer and Katherine: I find the color your plate approach so helpful, especially as fruits and veggies provide most of the color and are so healthy.

text: So, here are some of the things I worked on with the Z4 Beta. Decided to work on concepts that I have a wicked hard time doing in Z but comes easier in my 3D apps collection (Wings3D, Silo, and Cinema4D). Though I am inherently organic by nature (and therefore artistically) those of you whom might know me and my work could surmise that I am not a mechanical modeler. I have to say, Z4 makes it incredibly easy! So, conceived and finished in mere hours which, considering my mechanical disposition, is a breakthrough; I utilized Xpose, shadowbox with tons of curve clip, selection, and masking functions (thank you SO MUCH for this curves addition) as well as tiled alphas in carving and stenciling. Most things here feel 80% finished for me but, thought it is better to showcase this now then when my picky brain starts wasting time perfecting the details, I believe it is time to share. I know that most may find this simple but, for me as an artist bereft of mechanical experience, Z4 has blessed me with a new found ability for technical modeling. Of all the things I could think about which would mirror ZBrush's artistry and innovation, it was DaVinci that first popped into my mind. So, below is one of his machines. Thank you Dev Team! Just when I thought I couldn't Love Z more, you slap me in the face and then kissed the shock away! I am both honered and humbled to be apart of this Beta Team.

Conservation Breeding
Breeding in captivity provides a safety net for vulnerable species and a way of bolstering dwindling populations. It involves managing captive groups so they remain genetically healthy and self-sustaining.
In some cases, habitats exist to which new animals can be reintroduced. In other cases, we can do little more than hold captive populations of species already extinct in the wild.
Conservation breeding is central to ZSL's work, integrating our field conservation ability and our animal husbandry expertise. We are involved in breeding programmes of many sorts, from worldwide breeding efforts to reintroducing struggling UK native insect species. More about breeding for conservation.
Managed Breeding at ZSL
ZSL is part of collaborative breeding programmes for numerous species, and holds the studbook for many. Most of these animals won't be reintroduced, but they are vital as safety-nets for vulnerable species and as public ambassadors.
Managing Breeding Programmes
Captive populations ideally need to be large and genetically varied, so organisations collaborate by exchanging animals and resources. A 'studbook' is held for each species by one zoo or aquarium that coordinates all the breeding activities for that animal.
Find out about breeding programmes and studbooks
Some key ZSL breeding projects :
Breeding for Reintroduction
The ideal result of captive breeding programmes is that animals can be released to reinforce wild populations or restablish a species in its former range. ZSL is breeding animals that have already been released back into their natural habitats or will be in the future.
Assisting Reintroductions
Breeding new captive animals is the foundation for reintroduction, but success relies on the habitat, animals and conditions all being suitable. ZSL has provided expertise for several reintroductions, from health monitoring to preparing habitat:

Dan Senor
last updated: December 13, 2012
- Foreign Policy Initiative: Cofounder
- Coalition Provisional Authority (Iraq): Chief spokesperson (2003-2004)
- American Israel Public Affairs Committee: Former intern
Please note: IPS Right Web neither represents nor endorses any of the individuals or groups profiled on this site.
Dan Senor is an investment banker and neoconservative pundit who served as a key foreign policy adviser to 2012 GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney. Senor first came to prominence while serving as a spokesman for the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq in the aftermath of the 2003 U.S.-led invasion, gaining a reputation as "the spinmeister responsible for selling the early years of the occupation … as a rosy time—even as bombs exploded daily and sectarian violence ripped apart the country."[1]
After leaving the Bush administration, Senor, who is the spouse of former CNN anchorwoman Campbell Brown, became a guest commentator on foreign policy issues for Fox News and a private equity executive. He co-founded the investment firm Rosemont Capital LLC[2] before joining Elliott Management, the hedge fund firm owned by Paul Singer, a billionaire Wall Street investor who was a key financial backer of the 2012 Romney presidential campaign.[3] Senor is also cofounder—with William Kristol and Robert Kagan—of the Foreign Policy Initiative (FPI), viewed by some as a revival of the now-defunct Project for a New American Century (PNAC).[4]
Summarizing his rise through the ranks of the conservative elite, Allison Hoffman of Tablet wrote: "Senor arrived at his current role by way of an itinerant and mostly accidental career that has afforded him access to a wide range of very powerful, very famous, and very rich people. As an ambitious college intern on the Hill, he caught the attention of William Kristol, the editor-in-chief of the Weekly Standard, who gave him entree into the neoconservative circle surrounding George W. Bush. Senor eventually became the face of the Bush Administration's efforts in Iraq, both during his time in Baghdad and later as a television pundit; while he was in Baghdad, he met his future wife, Campbell Brown, then a reporter for NBC. In between he went to Harvard Business School, worked for the Carlyle Group, and started a private-equity firm with his classmate and friend Chris Heinz, stepson of former Democratic presidential candidate Sen. John Kerry."[5]
According to the New York Times, Senor's relationship with Romney dates back to 2006, when he and a host of "other foreign policy hawks" began advising Romney as he prepared to launch his unsuccessful 2008 presidential campaign.[6]
During the 2012 presidential election campaign, Senor quickly emerged as one of the former governor's key surrogates on U.S. policy on the Middle East, as well as his "key emissary to Israel's intelligentsia and the Washington policy scene," as Tablet put it.[7]
In July 2012, during the lead-up to Romney's campaign trip to Israel, Senor attempted to set the tone of the candidate's upcoming speech in Jerusalem by arguing that as president Romney would support a go-it-alone Israeli attack on Iran. He told reporters: "If Israel has to take action on its own, in order to stop Iran from developing [nuclear weapons] capability, the governor would respect that decision."[8] Such a policy would contrast dramatically with the one pursued by President Barack Obama, who has consistently recognized Israel's right to defend itself but has emphasized the negative consequences of a pre-emptive military strike on Iran.
Senor was later forced to walk back his claim, saying in a written statement that Romney "believes we should employ any and all measures to dissuade the Iranian regime from its nuclear course, and it is his fervent hope that diplomatic and economic measures will do so. In the final analysis, of course, no option should be excluded."[9]
Later, in September 2012, Senor was a key Romney campaign figure trying to capitalize on the violence that erupted in the Greater Middle East in reaction to the anti-Islam film Innocence of Muslims. Speaking to CNN's Wolf Blitzer, Senor tried to defend Romney's much criticized statement accusing the Obama administration of "apologizing" to the Muslim world for the film and not denouncing the people who attacked U.S. embassies. As Blitzer pointed out, it was the U.S. embassy in Cairo that issued the statement—not the Obama administration or the U.S. ambassador to Egypt—and the statement, which endeavored to distance the United States from the film, was issued before the violence broke out. Pressed to defend Romney against charges that he was trying to exploit a crisis for political gain, Senor said: "We do have a national security crisis. And it is true that we need to unite to find a solution to it. And it won't be easy, because we've got a real mess on our hands. In part because of the policies of President Obama over the last several years in the region."[10]
An early indication that Senor had assumed a key role in the Romney campaign came in April 2012, when he led a campaign conference call with reporters. During the call, Senor attacked President Obama's foreign policy record, highlighting in particular the president's handling of Iran. Despite the Obama administration's insistence that "all options are on the table" with respect to Iran, Senor claimed that the Obama administration "has gone out of its way to convey that the military option is not serious."[11]
Commented one blogger: "Romney's advisers offer, at best, misleading interpretations of Obama administration policies and statements; at worst, they make claims unsupported by the facts. For example, far from 'project[ing] to the world that the military option against Iran is off the table,' Obama has said again and again that all options remain 'on the table' to deal with a potential Iranian nuclear weapons program."[12]
Discussing Romney's decision to tap Senor as a key adviser, the New York Times reported in August 2012: "[Senor's] presence in the tight orbit of advisers around the Republican candidate foreshadows a Romney foreign policy that could take a harder line against Iran, embrace Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and move away from being the honest broker in the conflict with Palestinians. … In Mr. Senor, Mr. Romney turned to an advocate of neoconservative thinking that has sought to push presidents to the right for years on Middle East policy. (His sister, Wendy Senor Singer, runs the Jerusalem office of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, an influential lobbying organization.)"[13]
These political proclivities, combined with Senor's role in misleading the public during the post-invasion occupation of Iraq, led many observers to criticize Romney's decision to rely on Senor. "There is no greater aberration in American policy than that 2003-4 period, and Dan was the spokesman for that," said Michael Breen, vice president of the Truman National Security Project, who was an army captain in Iraq while Senor was the spokesman for the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) in 2003 and 2004. "The CPA was the most dysfunctional organization of any in the last 100 years of American history and now he's a foreign policy adviser for Mitt Romney. That is literally the time and the place that that country descended into chaos, and he was the guy telling the American people that it was going well."[14]
In an ironic addendum to his reputation for disingenuous optimism, two weeks after Romney lost to Obama in the 2012 election, Senor told television host Joe Scarborough that "a systematic crisis in the world of polling" had gripped the Romney camp during the campaign, with "right-of-center" internal Romney polls coming up "way off" the actual result. The remark was perceived by many as a tacit admission that Republicans had willfully insulated themselves from facts and narratives that were unfavorable to their candidate.[15]
In their own post-mortems of the election, other commentators used Senor as an emblematic figure for the neoconservatism they said had been voted out of the White House. "Dan Senor," wrote the Christian Science Monitor's Dan Murphy the day after the election, "has no more influence in the White House today than he did yesterday. … The dreams of transforming the world with U.S. troops and tanks that inflamed so many of President Bush's advisers at the start of the Iraq war, will now be dreamt a long way from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue."[16]
During media appearances after the election, Senor echoed William Kristol's admission that tax hikes for millionaires "won't kill the country," arguing that Republicans needed to do a "better job of thinking through how to talk about middle class economics." He added that the party has also "been suffering on the issue of immigration for years," suggesting that it was dooming its future with Hispanic voters.[17] On the other hand, during an December 2, 2012, interview on ABC News, he attacked Obama for beginning his second term by "humiliating" Republicans with his stance on "fiscal cliff" negotiations and meeting with MoveOn.org instead of "grinding out" and agreement with Rep. John Boehner.
"Pro-Israel" Writer, Pundit, and Activist
An author and opinion writer, Senor has written for neoconservative-leaning outlets like the Wall Street Journal editorial page and the Weekly Standard, as well as for the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the New York Post.[18]
Senor is also coauthor of the 2009 book Start Up Nation: The Story of Israel's Economic Miracle, written with his brother-in-law Saul Singer, the editor of the conservative Jerusalem Post.[19] According to Gal Beckerman of Forward, "Start-up Nation presents Israel in an extremely positive light as a bastion of entrepreneurial spirit and technological achievement. It skirts a discussion of the conflict with the Palestinians, or even the wealth inequality within Israel, thereby dovetailing nicely with recent public relations efforts by Israel to shift attention away from its problems and toward its achievements."[20]
Despite its shortcomings, Start-Up Nation became a must-read in the "pro-Israel" community, both in the United States and Israel. Tablet characterized the book as "a slim blue-and-white volume [Senor] wrote with his brother-in-law, the Israeli newspaper columnist Saul Singer. Since its release in 2009, at the depths of the financial crisis, the book has become required reading for the entire Israeli government and for much of the American Jewish community. (The Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad also keepsa copy on his desk.) The title alone has become shorthand for the modern, techno-centric aspects of Israel, as distinct from the Israeli-Palestinian conflict."[21]
One of Senor's early experiences working on Israeli political issues came in 1993, when he worked as an intern for the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). He was once quoted on AIPAC's website, saying of his experience at the "pro-Israel" lobby, "Whether I was learning the ins and outs of Washington with my fellow interns or attending briefings on Capitol Hill, my internship at AIPAC prepared me for my work in politics."[22]
Senor burnished his right-wing "pro-Israel" credentials in 2009, when he cofounded the Foreign Policy Initiative (FPI)—a pressure group that promotes U.S. military intervention—with leading neoconservative figures William Kristol and Robert Kagan. Quipped blogger Matthew Yglesias, "Senor's inclusion is especially interesting, since neocons of the Kristol/Kagan ilk ostensibly now believe that the early years of the [Iraq] war were catastrophically mismanaged. And yet here they are with the public face of the mismanagement as their partner in warmongering."[23]
At FPI's first public event, a March 2009 conference titled "Afghanistan: Planning For Success," Senor spoke on panels along with Lt. Gen. David Barno, a retired former commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan; Frederick Kagan, brother of Robert and coauthor of a study that reportedly served as a blueprint for the "surge" in Iraq; and I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, former Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff who was convicted on charges stemming from the PlameGate affair. Other speakers included John Nagl of the liberal-interventionist think tank Center for a New American Security and Sen. John McCain (R-AZ).
Liberal blogger Matt Duss wrote of the conference, "[G]iven the heavy representation of Iraq war advocates, I think a far better title would be 'Afghanistan: 'Dealing With the Huge Problems Created by Many of The People on This Very Stage.' … It's deeply absurd that some of the people most responsible for the crisis in Afghanistan would now presume to tell us how to deal with it."[24]
Some 20 years younger than his FPI colleagues Kristol and Kagan, Senor spent most of the 1990s working as a foreign policy staffer for then-Sen. Spencer Abraham (R-MI), a founder of the rightist Federalist Society. After getting a Harvard MBA, Senor "then led—and loved—the cushy life of a venture capitalist," according to the New York Times.[25] From 2001 to 2003, he worked for the Carlyle Group, an investment firm with major defense industry holdings and ties to the Bush family, which was formerly led by Republican Party figure Frank Carlucci.[26]
In early 2003, Senor joined the Bush administration as deputy to White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan. But within a few months, he accepted a post in the Iraq "theater."[27] From 2003 to 2004, according to his CFR bio, Senor served "as a Pentagon and White House adviser based in Doha, Qatar, at U.S. Central Command Forward, and later based in Kuwait and Iraq."[28]
In Iraq, he advised Ambassador Paul Bremer and acted as chief spokesman for the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA).[29] Although only "in country" for 15 months, Senor was one of the longest-serving civilians in Iraq. According to the speaker's bureau that books his appearances, Senor "worked closely with the Bush Administration's national security team, including Secretaries Rice and Rumsfeld and Generals Abizaid and Sanchez, as well as senior officials throughout the administration's foreign policy apparatus." Despite his association with the controversial Bremer—who was notorious for his decision to disband the Iraqi army[30]—Senor was awarded the Defense Department's Distinguished Civilian Service Award, one of the Pentagon's highest civilian honors.[31]
In the book Reporting Iraq: An Oral History of the War by the Journalists Who Covered It, Washington Post reporter Rajiv Chandrasekaran recalled that as CPA spokesman, Senor once told reporters, "Paris is burning—but on the record, security and stability are returning to Iraq."[32]
In addition, according to the Washington Post: "In September 2004, the White House controversially employed Senor to coach and ghostwrite the speeches of Iraq's interim prime minister Iyad Allawi during his visit to the U.S., in an effort to enhance the Bush reelection campaign. At the same time, Senor appeared on cable news programs claiming that Allawi's positive remarks (vetted by Senor) supported the Bush Administration's rosy view of the Iraq occupation."[33]
In 2006, Senor and Kristol were both advisors to the pro-Iraq war Vets for Freedom, which was closely tied to the right-wing advocacy group Freedom's Watch. That year, one of Vets for Freedom's main objectives was boosting the reelection efforts of the neoconservative-aligned Sen. Joe Lieberman, who ran as an independent after losing a Democratic primary in Connecticut over his support for the Iraq War. The Wall Street Journal quoted Senor as saying, "These vets are grateful to Sen. Lieberman for not letting politics compromise his positions, and they wanted to express that."[34]
In May 2009, Senor participated in a Hudson Institute symposium on controversial ex-Pentagon official Douglas Feith's book, War and Decision. During the symposium, former Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz conceded that he and others "were clueless on counterinsurgency." In his blog, veteran Inter Press Service reporter Jim Lobe pointed out that although this admission was undoubtedly the event's headline, also striking was Dan Senor's public disagreement with these icons of neoconservatism. A transcript of the Hudson event would be "worth reviewing," Lobe told his readers, "for the ease with which Senor takes apart virtually every point made by Wolfowitz and Feith and the apparent inability of Wolfowitz or Feith to rebut him. While Senor never suggests that he thinks the original decision to invade Iraq was a mistake, it's pretty clear that he thought the decision was not very well thought out by its principal advocates at the Pentagon."[35]
Despite their early support for some Obama administration policies, in particular the military escalation in Afghanistan, Senor and FPI eagerly joined a chorus of right-wing attacks on Obama for his reaction to the post-election tumult in Iran in June 2009. On June 17, five days after Iran's presidential election, the Wall Street Journal published an op-ed written by Senor and Christian Whiton, an FPI "policy advisor," titled "Five Ways Obama Could Promote Freedom in Iran."[36] Among their suggestions: Obama should appropriate funds to boost U.S.-sponsored radio broadcasts into Iran and help dissidents skirt Iranian restrictions on cell phones and Internet access. Like clockwork, a week later Sens. Joe Lieberman, Lindsey Graham, and John McCain introduced a bill to fund these very activities.
On June 24, USA Today reported that "Obama's comment on Tuesday [June 23] that he would monitor events and 'see how this plays itself out' drew a rebuke from Daniel Senor, a foreign policy adviser to President George W. Bush and now a senior fellow with the Council on Foreign Relations. Senor lauded Obama's 'stronger language,' but said he should 'seize the moment instead of observing it.'"[37]
A few weeks later, Senor participated in a debate of the proposition "Diplomacy with Iran Is Going Nowhere," which was broadcast nationwide on public radio. Senor and Liz Cheney, daughter of Dick Cheney and cofounder of another neocon pressure group called Keep America Safe, argued in favor of the motion; retired diplomat R. Nicholas Burns and foreign policy analyst Kenneth Pollack argued against it. Before the debate, 34 percent of the audience agreed with the motion, 33 percent disagreed, and 35 percent were undecided. After the debate, 59 percent of the audience opposed the motion, 35 percent agreed with it, and only six percent were undecided.[38]
In May 2009, Dick Cheney gave a speech at the American Enterprise Institute defending the Bush administration's harsh interrogation techniques and attacking President Obama's plan to close the Guantánamo Bay detention facility. A day later, the New York Times reported, "Though the White House denies that Mr. Cheney's campaign of some weeks to influence the national security debate has played a role, Mr. Cheney's supporters point to Mr. Obama's reversal of a decision to release photographs documenting abuse of American-held detainees as evidence that the former vice president is having an impact. 'Cheney is seriously the only person who's gotten the White House to change its policy,'' said Dan Senor, a former foreign policy adviser in the Bush administration who remains friendly with Mr. Cheney's daughter Liz."[39]

Device: ReadyNAS NV+ (Model: RND4000)
First off, everything is backed up 100% so I'm not worried about losing data. I'd just like to get this ReadyNAS working again ASAP.
On Saturday a new tech was familiarizing himeself with the FrontView website for our ReadyNAS NV+. He said that he was just browsing around the site, not doing anything in particular, when suddenly he lost access (IE displayed page not found). The NAS remained in a state where it would respond to pings but shares and HTTPS access did not work. He came into work this morning and rebooted the ReadyNAS, saying that holding the power button for 5 seconds did nothing so he held it for 15 seconds and it powered off after "all the lights on the front flashed several times". He then pressed the power button again, quickly, without holding it in. It rebooted, showed up in RAIDar (which said "File System Check 100%"), sent two alert emails ("Improper shutdown detected" and "RAID sync started on Volume C"), ran through a "Quota Chk" until that completed at 100% and is now stuck saying "Booting..." on the LCD. All four hard drive lights are solid green, the Activity light is flashing quickly and the power button blue light is pulsating once per second.
The emails would lead me to believe that the ReadyNAS is syncing but previously when it would sync we would have access to shares and to FrontView. Right now we have neither of those. It is reponding to pings though.
I have submitted a case to Netgear (#16666541) and am awaiting a second reply. The first reply indicated that the person was elevating the case to higher tech support.
I've thought of TFTP and USB recovery, but don't wish to do either of those without being directed to do so either by Netgear tech support or by "someone who has been there". I've read many posts with very similar issues, but nothing *exactly* like this issue. Usually the people who have problems with their ReadyNAS being stuck in "Booting..." mode indicate different disk lights flashing, no power light activity, no Activity light activity, etc. I've not come across another post where the ReadyNAS still responded to pings in this state. It is entirely possible that, yes, it is actually syncing, I just don't fully buy into that because the LCD still says "Booting..." and we have no access to shares or FrontView.
Should I maybe try the firmware reinstall via the reset button on back? I think there is a way to reload the firmware without doing a full factory reset, right? As I said previously, losing data is not a concern, it's all backed up to multiple on-site and off-site locations.
Any thoughts you might have would be appreciated. As mentioned, I am also waiting for Netgear to respond, which I anticipate within the next 24 hours (though, hopefully sooner). I just thought someone here might have some ideas in the meantime, of things I can try without screwing anything up for tech support.

I'm competing in an Eisteddfod in five weeks with Chopin's Revolutionary Etude, a 2 minute song with semiquavers at crotchet=160bpm. To non-musicians this literally translates as 'TOO FREAKING FAST'. I started sight reading the piece exactly 2.5 months ago.
Still today, I don't know exactly what I was thinking back then, but I was absolutely enamoured with all of Chopin's piano works, and had just stole a Christmas concert with Chopin's Nocturne Op 9 No 2 (I think Telstra uses this as hold music… Which sucks because it's way too good for that) and Merry Go Round of Life (Theme to Studio Ghibli's Howl's Moving Castle), which made me think I was partially capable of the Revolutionary Etude.
I have worked out that if the hours I spent learning this song were all put together, I would've sat at the piano for around 1.4 weeks straight learning this piece. So without further ado here lie the reasons why I was wrong, and why I still bother with this piece of raw emotion.
I was wrong because:
- I lack the required technical skill, though I've been playing piano 9 years
- I'm not physically strong enough to belt out this piece, the only dynamic variation is between F, FF, FFF
- It's extremely fast, I consider myself to have good co-ordination, but it's not good enough for this piece
- This is concert pianist material! It holds a place in many great concert pianists' repertoires. I'm not one of them =\
- I am used to challenging myself, you do not grow without having a goal that is a little out-of-reach. This one was too far out-of-reach, it was unrealistic.
- I cannot achieve the left/right hand balance
Why I still bother practising it for 3 hours a day, everyday:
- I genuinely like how this piece sounds, I like the emotions Chopin is trying to convey with the minor scale, this song is a great release of emotions and stress.
- It's amazing. I've never played any song this professional before, and people in the family like it.
- I would let so many people down if I chickened out.
Now I'm going to get off Tumblr and practise for my third hour for today XD I shouldn't procrastinate this much, but I need a break from the song every so often.

The literature is discussed in 19 pages. A short chapter delineates the subdivisions of otitis media in children, the pathogenesis, and the relation to disorders of nutrition. An acute form is distinguished with various stages, as in older children or adults, from a form poor in symptoms or without clinical symptoms for which the designation "occult" is preferred. The main part deals with the clinic of otogenous disorders of nutrition under the headings of otitis media purulenta acuta and otitis media occulta, manifest mastoiditis, and occult mastoiditis. About 22 pages are devoted to the occult mastoiditis. Some of these are characterized by acute intoxication recognized at present as consequence of an occult mastoiditis. Others lead to chronic nutritional disorders as dystrophy and atrophy (athrepsia) without signs of intoxication referable to occult involvement of the ear. This causal relationship is still being contested. The single symptoms prompting the diagnosis of occult
