The Hunt for Genghis Khans Tomb
2012 12 04
By Oliver Steeds |
For centuries historians and treasure seekers have searched for the burial site of historys most famous conqueror. New findings offer compelling evidence that its been found.
In the eight hundred years since his death, people have sought in vain for the grave of Genhis Khan, the 13th-century conqueror and imperial ruler who, at the time of his death, occupied the largest contiguous empire, stretching from the Caspian Sea to the Pacific. In capturing most of central Asia and China, his armies killed and pillaged but also forged new links between East and West. One of historys most brilliant and ruthless leaders, Khan remade the world.
A 250-ton stainless-steel statue of Genghis Khan outside the capital of Mongolia.
But while the life of the conqueror is the stuff of legend, his death is shrouded in the mist of myths. Some historians believe he died from wounds sustained in battle; others that he fell off his horse or died from illness. And his final burial place has never been found. At the time great steps were taken to hide the grave to protect it from potential grave robbers. Tomb hunters have little to go on, given the dearth of primary historical sources. Legend has it that Khans funeral escort killed anyone who crossed their path to conceal where the conqueror was buried. Those who constructed the funeral tomb were also killedas were the soldiers who killed them. One historical source holds that 10,000 horsemen trampled the ground so as to make it even; another that a forest was planted over the site, a river diverted.
Scholars still debate the balance between fact and fiction, as accounts were forged and distorted. But many historians believe that Khan wasnt buried alone: his successors are thought to have been entombed with him in a vast necropolis, possibly containing treasures and loot from his extensive conquests.
Germans, Japanese, Americans, Russians, and Brits all have led expeditions in search of his grave, spending millions of dollars. All have failed. The location of the tomb has been one of archeologys most enduring mysteries.
Until now.
A multidisciplinary research project uniting scientists in America with Mongolian scholars and archeologists has the first compelling evidence of the location of Khans burial site and the necropolis of the Mongol imperial family on a mountain range in a remote area in northwestern Mongolia.
Among the discoveries by the team are the foundations of what appears to be a large structure from the 13th or 14th century, in an area that has historically been associated with this grave. Scientists have also found a wide range of artifacts that include arrowheads, porcelain, and a variety of building material.
Everything lines up in a very compelling way, says Albert Lin, National Geographic explorer and principal investigator of the project, in an exclusive interview with Newsweek.
For 800 years the Khentii mountain range, where the site is located, has been off-limits, decreed thus by Genghis Khan himself before his death. If the findings bear out, this will be one of the most significant archeological discoveries in years. Using drones and surface-penetrating radar, and enlisting the help of thousands of people to sift through satellite data and photographs, the team has searched the mountain range, systematically photographing 4,000 square miles of landscape.
In a laboratory at the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology at University of California, San Diego, Lin and his team combed through the massive volumes of ultrahigh-resolution satellite imagery and built 3-D reconstructions from radar scans in their search for clues to where Genghis Khan may be buried. As part of an unprecedented open-source project, thousands of online volunteers sifted through 85,000 high-resolution satellite images to identify any hidden structures or odd-seeming formations.
It is undeniable that Genghis Khan changed the course of history. Yet I cannot think of another historical figure of comparable impact that we know so little about, says Lin, who is still tight-lipped about the full extent of the teams results as they await peer review. But excitement shines through his academic caution. Any archeological results related to the subject may shed light on a vital piece of our shared cultural heritage that has gone missing.
To reach the Khentii mountains, you drive east from the capital, Ulan Bator, passing a shimmering statue of Genghis before reaching the mining town of Baganuur. The crumbling town has all the charm of a post-Soviet Dickensian nightmare: a 10-mile-long slag heap signals the presence of the largest state-run open-pit coal mine in Mongolia. Exiting north out of town, the remains of a Soviet military base bring to mind the set of a post-apocalyptic horror movie. But once free of the city, the Kerulen River Valley, homeland of the Mongols, unfolds in all its panoramic beauty. Located on one of the main east-west routes across Central Asia, the steppe continues west to the Caspian Sea, east to Japan and northern China, circumventing the Gobi Desert that inspired nightmares for Marco Polo and other travelers.
This geography, and the forgiving climate, has made the steppe an attractive place for the nomads to live. Unlike the rest of the country, where temperatures can plummet below minus 40 degrees Fahrenheit and peak above 100 during the summer, the climate in these valleys is unusually mild. Ritual monuments and burial sites are scattered throughout the landscape. Archeologists have found tombs on top of tombs, where different tribes from different eras have used the same ritual space.
Many Mongolian families still live in yurts, maintaining their nomadic lifestyle.
Mongolian families still live in yurts or gers, as the traditional tents are known locally, maintaining their nomadic lifestyle. The blue sky merges with the horizon, and white yurts dot the sweeping landscape like sailboats floating on a sea of green.
From afar, the pastoral herding scene appears to have evolved very little since the Khans ruled. But in fact times are changing for the nomads. A decade of devastatingly harsh winters followed by very dry summers has crippled the livelihoods of livestock-dependent herders, who make up a third of the countrys population. Tens of thousands have migrated into city slums, while thousands of others have turned to illegal gold mining in their fight for survival. Carrying on their backs big green panning bowls for finding gold, theyre known as the ninjas because of their resemblance to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. At the same time, Mongolia is rapidly developingin large part due to its mineral riches. By some estimates, Mongolias economy is the fastest growing in the world, as the nation seeks to tap its wealth of coal, copper, and gold, projected to be worth $1.3 trillion.
Up close it is clear that even this remote valley is not untouched. A satellite dish and a Chinese-made truck and motorbike sit outside one yurt, where we stop to ask for directions.
Altan Khuyag, a 53-year-old herder and forest ranger, offers us a cup of warm milky tea, insisting that we stay the night, in a typical display of Mongol friendliness. Among the nomads, reciprocal hospitality is a vital part of life on the steppe. When I ask about Genghis, he dips his ring finger into a bowl of vodka, flicking a drop to the sky, towards Tengri, the god of the blue heaven. Two more dips, two more flicks, two more ritual offerings. In Mongolia, superstition still surrounds Genghis Khan, and the hunt for his tomb often stirs heated debate. Even his name is a touchy subject. In Mongolia, Genghis Khan is known as Chinggis Khaan and is considered by many almost a god.
He watches over us. He is why we have our good lives today, says Khuyag, hunching his shoulders as if feeling the presence from above. He, like many locals, thinks Genghis Khan is buried on a mountain in the Khentii rangea belief shared by both ancient and contemporary historians but unsupported by science or physical evidence until the discoveries made by Lin and his Mongolian partners.

The Garden City Village Election was held on Tuesday, March 15. Polls were open from noon until 9 p.m., as residents turned out in record numbers to elect the four Community Agreement candidates over Garden City Residents Party candidates, Ronald Tadross, Raymond Rudolph and Tom Trypuc.
The official village election numbers were as follows: Donald T. Brudie - Mayor 1,885 received votes; John A. Demaro - Trustee 1,642 votes; Laurence J. Quinn - Trustee 1,646 votes; Dennis C. Donnelly - Trustee 1,706 votes; Andrew J. Cavanaugh - Trustee 1,656 votes. Garden City Residents Party candidates Raymond J. Rudolph received 861 votes; Ronald A. Tadross - 861 votes; and Thomas J. Trypuc - 811 votes.
It was no ordinary school day for students at Garden City High School last week. According to Garden City Police reports, police officers responded to the high school for a report of a bomb threat on Tuesday, March 1 at approximately 9 a.m. School and police personnel searched the building and deemed it safe at approximately 11 a.m., according to police.
School Board President Colleen Foley reacted to the bomb threat at last Wednesday's board meeting. "I would like to thank the police department and the first responders, as well as the efficient and safe handlings of the staff at the high school. As a result of their actions, everyone ended up safe at the end of the day," Foley said.
Foley recounted the day's events telling the audience that she received a phone call from the Superintendent of Schools Dr. Robert Feirsen, who informed her of a bomb threat situation at the high school. She reiterated that she and board members were in contact with Dr. Feirsen every 15 or 20 minutes as he was at the high school. She also spoke to the commissioner of Garden City Police every half hour through the course of that day.
On Wednesday, March 2, the Garden City School District held the third in a series of school budget work sessions for the 2011/12 academic year. Superintendent of Schools Dr. Robert Feirsen presented recommendations that addressed the instructional components of the school budget. The proposal includes the elimination of 13.2 full-time teaching positions (FTE), as well as an increase in class size guidelines from 25 to 26.
Feirsen addressed the speculation in the community regarding the news of teacher reductions, which he said is due to enrollment decreases. "The only way for us to do a good job reducing our budget numbers, the rate of increase, is to get a handle on our personnel and we're doing that," Feirsen said. "It would be imprudent of us, it would be counter to the wishes of the community for us to maintain staffing if the student population is going down," he added.
New York State Senator John Flanagan, chair of the Senate Standing Committee on Education, and Senator Jack M. Martins, chair of the Standing Committee on Local Government, co-sponsored a hearing on Feb. 17 in Mineola to accumulate best practices and suggestions to take back to Albany with regard to reducing Property Taxes in New York. Some of the pressures on local government and school district budgets are directly tied to mandated costs. It follows that reduction in property taxes is linked to unfunded Mandate Relief, especially in light of the 2 percent tax cap approved by the New York State Senate in January.The recent Senate approval of Governor Andrew Cuomo's tax cap that calls for capping the yearly growth of school and local taxes at 2 percent or the Consumer Price Index (CPI), whichever is less, was the impetus for the hearing.
Everyone in Garden City has heard and read quite a bit over the last several years about the looming destruction of St. Paul's School. Built in 1883 by the widow of Alexander Turney Stewart, the former boys' school is officially listed on the National Register of Historic Places and yet is in grave danger of being demolished. It is clear that the proposed demolition has more to do with a lack of consensus among the village's residents on what exactly to do with this landmark than a concerted resolve to destroy the remarkable Victorian Gothic masterpiece. At what may very well be the eleventh hour, it is perhaps worthwhile to consider what Garden City would be like without St. Paul's.
It was nearly midnight before the Garden City Board of Education wrapped up their general meeting and second school budget work session last Wednesday. The audience, mostly comprised of parents and residents, listened as the board moved through a full agenda of items. Among the most important topics were the mandate relief initiative led by School Board Trustees Angela Heineman and Laura Hastings, the superintendent's second installment of budget recommendations and the surprise resignation of School Board Trustee Laura Brown.
The meeting began with an update from Trustees Angela Heineman and Laura Hastings who talked about their meeting with a coalition of Nassau County schools known as the Long Island Educational Advocacy District. The purpose of the group is to advocate legislation for property tax reform. "We feel in our collective group, assuming the tax levy cap is an inevitability, the way to make property tax relief truly meaningful is to have some sort of mandate reform go along with that. With that end, we put together a letter that each of the participating districts is going to send to Governor Cuomo," she explained.
In a little more than three months, the village will finally unveil its upgraded veterans' memorial to honor the many brave men and women who have served our country. Last week, the village board unanimously approved expenditures not to exceed $20,000 for the complete installation of a new and improved monument in time for Memorial Day.
Early in 2010, under the leadership of Committee Chair and Village Board Trustee Dennis Donnelly and a committee of residents and trustees, a plan was designed to upgrade, rehabilitate and relocate the current veterans' memorial.
Vietnam veteran and Garden City resident Cyril Smith originally proposed the idea in January of 2010 as a way to pay homage to those veterans who lost their lives in wartime. The new memorial will be placed opposite the current WWII War Memorial on Seventh Street in the village.
Spring hasn't arrived yet, but the school budget season has. Superintendent of Garden City Schools Dr. Robert Feirsen held the first in a series of school budget presentations for the 2011/12 academic year. The proposal includes an overall budget of $101,117,058, with a budget-to-budget increase of $3,128,568 or 3.19 percent. The projected tax levy increase (with STAR) is 2.71 percent.
This year's overview and revenue projections were clearly influenced by the current fiscal climate, NYS projections for state aid, pension, health insurance and other mandates, according to Dr. Feirsen. "This is called the superintendent's budget because it hasn't been touched by the board of education. It is really what I have prepared for the board. There are citizens' comments that we encourage and respond to over the next several weeks. We encourage participation from organized parent groups in the community and, ultimately the board will adopt a budget that will be presented to the voters," Feirsen said.
It's official. In a vote of 5 to 3, the Final Environmental Impact Statement for St. Paul's was accepted by the board of trustees at the first board meeting of February. Mayor Rothschild, Trustees Nicholas Episcopia, Dennis Donnelly, Laurence Quinn, and Brian Daughney voted in favor of acceptance, and Deputy Mayor Donald Brudie, Trustees John Watras and Andrew Cavanaugh voted against.
After a long period of public hearings and commentary on the Draft Environmental Impact Statement this fall, the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) was prepared over the past few months by the law firm Sive, Paget & Risel. In December, Village Counsel Gerard Fishberg explained that the preparation of the document was a fairly large job, which he said involved putting together all the public comments that have been made over the entire process, as well as providing responses to those comments.
On Groundhog Day, Feb. 2, 2011, Punxsutawney Phil was raised from his burrow on his 125th birthday. After surveying his surroundings carefully, the furry weather forecaster found there was no shadow around and his handlers proclaimed that 'spring is near.' With record levels of snow accumulations this month, storm cleanups have already spent approximately 85 percent of the Village of Garden City's snow budget.
Village Auditor Jim Olivo commented on the ongoing snow woes at the most recent village board meeting. "We had a storm last week that had about $19,000 worth of overtime attached to it. It's clear that this winter has not been kind and we are contingent at this point for overtime money. So if we have anymore snow, we'll be coming to the board for overtime," Olivo said. "Let's hope the groundhog was right," he said, adding there has been some issues discussed of where to move the snow.

Benigno Aquino III, the Philippine president, has urged members of a Muslim royal clan from the southern Philippines who occupied a village in Malaysian state of Sabah three weeks ago to surrender.
At least 10 members of the Royal Sulu Army - as they call themselves - were killed in a gun battle with Malaysian police on Friday. The armed group has asked for a temporary ceasefire to bury its dead.
About 200 members of the clan landed in the coastal village of Lahad Datu in Sabah on February 9 to claim the territory as their own, citing ownership documents from the late 1800s.
President Aquino said they should leave immediately or would face prosecution at home on charges of triggering an armed conflict, but the appeals have been ignored.
In a message to the group on Saturday, Aquino said the clan members should "surrender now without conditions".
"If you have grievances, the path you chose was wrong. The just and, indeed, the only correct thing for you to do is to surrender," Aquino said.
Meanwhile, the bodies of two Malaysian police officers killed in the cross fire have been returned to their families.
Hishammuddin Hussein, the Malaysian home minister and Ismail Omar, the national police chief, were in Sabah on Saturday to oversee security operations.
Omar also urged the Filipinos to turn themselves in, saying "we have no other options but to take the necessary action to detain them".
Malaysian officials declined to say when they might move in or to elaborate on their plans.
The Filipino group is led by a brother of Sultan Jamalul Kiram III of the southern Philippine province of Sulu.
Jacel Kiram, a daughter of the sultan, indicated that her uncle, Agbimuddin Kiram, who is still in Lahad Datu, would not surrender.
"The decision remains the same -- they will not return here because honor is above life,'' she told DZBB radio in Manila. "What is life without honour?''
Abraham Idjirani, a spokesman for the sultan, said he and the council of the sultanate still had to study Aquino's statement.

"Excellent accommodation and an excellent rate."
We booked church view as a base to explore the Peak District and we couldn't fault it. Although not a 'cottage' as we had originally planned it was well worth the money - all other letting a hiked their prices over the half term break but not here. The house itself was lovely, modern furnishings with a fully equipped kitchen. The only downside was the queue that formed for the bathroom in the mornings but, sharing with family it wasn't a problem. There was even some free wi-if, the limited download lasted us until Thursday, which was useful for checking out places to visit such as Chatsworth House.
Booking was a little unconventional dealing directly with the owners but their prompt reply to emails and any enquiries made the process smooth.
I would definitely recommend booking Church View.

Should teachers assign marks of zero for students?More Related Discussions
16 4456 Views
There has been a lot of discussion recently about the practice of assigning a zero for incomplete, late, or missing work after an Edmonton Teacher was suspended for failing to follow his school's assessment policy (which stated that students should not receive zero for an assignment). I am personally of the opinion that we need to rethink many of the ways in which we do assessment. For some background reading on where I stand on the whole zeroes issue, I recommend reading some of the posts on John Scammell's blog. http://thescamdog.wordpress.com/ There are a lot of alternatives to our grading system. Can you imagine a different system than the one we use? Imagine that time, money, and logistics are not an issue (these can often be resolved later). What would you do differently?

HoopsHype Marc Gasol rumors
Ronald Tillery: Gasol leaving American Airlines Arena in a walking boot Twitter
Ronald Tillery: No update for Marc Gasol (left ankle sprain). He will be re-evaluated tomorrow. Twitter @CAGrizBeat
Tom Haberstroh: Grizz have the NBA's top defense ever since Marc Gasol came back in Jan. They face the NBA's top offense tonight in Miami. Giggity. Twitter @tomhaberstroh
Our friends at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital are once again teaming with the NBA for Hoops For St. Jude's Week, which runs through Thursday. As you probably know by now, St. Jude's treats children with cancer, sickle cell anemia and other deadly diseases, and doesn't charge the kids or their families a dime for the procedures, operations, travel, housing or food they get and use while at the hospital. St. Jude's does this through the contributions, great and small, of individuals and corporations. It costs $1.9 million per day for the hospital to do all the works it performs. This year's NBA Ambassadors for St. Jude's are Mike Conley, Pau and Marc Gasol, David Lee, Kevin Love and Greg Monroe, along with coaches Mike Brown, Rick Carlisle and Monty Williams. You can help by visiting the website and making a donation, or checking out St. Jude's Twitter and Facebook pages. It's well worth your time. NBA.com
Ronald Tillery: MRI scan on Griz center Marc Gasol's left knee was 'clean' and revealed no structural damage, per source. Team doctors will weigh in Monday Twitter @CAGrizBeat
Memphis Grizzlies center Marc Gasol limped off the court Wednesday night after banging his left knee with Orlando Magic guard Jameer Nelson's in the third quarter. His current status is uncertain, but the big man immediately called for trainers after the contact and appears to have suffered an injury. SB Nation
Ronald Tillery: Gasol: "We're going to get it checked to make sure everything is Ok. But it feels a lot better than it did the first time." Twitter @CAGrizBeat
"We want to keep this going and we want to stay together," Randolph told RealGM. "Me and Marc, we compliment each other so well. It's hard to play against us, especially when we're both going on both ends and we're both down there. My game has matured. I play the right way. I've developed. Nothing clicked, I just matured as a player – getting better and helping my teammates." RealGM
Chris Vernon: Marc Gasol will be in the starting lineup tonight. Twitter @ChrisVernonShow
He effortlessly threw down a number of dunks throughout the practice. Gasol said he has experienced nothing but positive reactions from the knee after several workouts. "It's pain-free," Gasol said about his knee. "How the knee reacts the day after, you don't see swelling. You see nothing bad happening. That encourages you to do more and more." Memphis Commercial Appeal
Gasol said the injury tested his patience more than anything. "It's been hard for me to be patient and stay in the day-to-day. Sometimes when you look down the road and you still have six weeks to go, you get a little anxious and you want to do more and more and more," Gasol said. "The knee felt fine. It feels great actually. We never did anything where I said 'Well, it hurts.' So the timing has been really good." Memphis Commercial Appeal
Ronald Tillery: Marc Gasol says he'll go through contact practice today but center won't set target date for his return Twitter @CAGrizBeat
Ronald Tillery: Gasol: 'We haven't done anything where I said my knee hurts. It feels good. The timing is good.' http://t.co/rUpGUbAgvE Twitter @CAGrizBeat
Adding to Monday's festive mood was a positive update from Joerger on Marc Gasol. The all-star center has been cleared for "light, light on-court action," following an MRI to evaluate the sprained MCL in his knee that has sidelined him since Nov. 22. Gasol was at practice Monday sporting a black brace on his left knee and he appeared to be in good spirits in the training room. There is no timetable for his return, but that he is on the court at all is a welcomed sign of progress for a team in need of a lasting spark. "He wants to get out there and he wants to help his team," Joerger said. Memphis Commercial Appeal
Chip Crain: I was just informed Marc Gasol is only doing "light, light" work and is not fully participating in the workout. Twitter @3Shadesofblue
With Gay's departure, the Grizzlies' Big Three has morphed into what the team refers to as its Core Four: Gasol, Randolph, Mike Conley and Tony Allen. The plan, according to league sources, is to find ways to maximize those four foundational pieces in the short term while building around Gasol and Conley in the long term. CBSSports.com
The Grizzlies actually got off to a decent start, including a 4-0 road trip in early November, with wins over the Clippers and Warriors. But Memphis' 7-5 beginning was lost after Gasol suffered the Grade 2 medial collateral sprain on Nov. 22. Initially, he was projected to be out up to 10 weeks, but Gasol got off his crutches last week, and now may be back weeks sooner than expected. NBA.com

World Cup Stadium Collapse In Brazil Kills Three People
The Itaquerao Stadium for the 2014 World Cup opener in Brazil kills three people before a major collapse, authorities said. The accident could delay the delivery in Sao Paulo by FIFA's December deadline to have all 12 venues ready.
"I don't want to know about FIFA right now, we are worried about the families of the victims," former Corinthians president Andres Sanchez told a news conference.
Work was immediately halted, which was practically completed before the collapse.
Television images showed a huge metal structure buckled atop the stadium, destroying part of the stands in the east side of the venue. A LED panel installed outside the venue also was hit.
Firefighter official Mauro Lopes said in a radio interview that at least three people died in the accident, which apparently happened when a crane collapsed on top of the metal structure. The crane was installing what was the last part of the structure.
Brazilian club Corinthians, which owns the stadium, released a brief statement "lamenting" the accident.
Constructor Odebrecht said it was already investigating what happened.
Brazil has been plagued by a series of setbacks including cost overruns, stadium delays, accidents, labor strife and massive street protests in the run-up to the June tournament, once envisioned as a coming out party for South America's largest nation, which is also scheduled to host the Olympics in 2016.
Wednesday's accident at Sao Paulo's Itaquerao stadium occurred when a construction crane crashed into a 500-ton metal structure that in turn cut through the outer walls of the venue, destroying rows of seats and slamming into a massive LED panel that runs across the stadium's facade.
Sanchez said two people were confirmed dead and nobody else was injured. A fire department official had said earlier that three people had died.
One of the workers, 42-year-old Fabio Luis Pereira, was inside a truck that was hit by the metal structure. The other, 44-year-old Ronaldo Oliveira dos Santos, was resting in an area which was supposed to be isolated.
"Unfortunately nobody saw him and he himself knew that he was not supposed to be there," Sanchez said. "He was napping and unfortunately there wasn't time for him to get out."
The accident happened at lunchtime, so not many of the nearly 1,700 employees working on the venue were on site when the crane collapsed on top of the metal structure, causing the deadly domino effect.

November 28, 2014
RICHMOND, Calif. (AP) - A report says a smaller fire was extinguished shortly before a massive blaze at a Chevron Corp. refinery in Northern California last month.
The report given to Contra Costa County officials by Chevron on Wednesday says there was a small fire at the refinery about 10 minutes before the larger blaze.
The blaze knocked an important refinery unit offline, reducing the facility's production and sending thousands of people to hospitals with breathing and eye irritation complaints.
The fire was caused by a leaking 8-inch pipe but investigators also were looking into the composition of a white cloud that formed minutes before the blaze. The report cast doubt on whether the cloud consisted of flammable hydrocarbon vapor, suggesting it was mostly steam from firefighters knocking down the smaller blaze.

No sense in having black players' unions, FIFPro says
HOOFDDORP, Netherlands
HOOFDDORP, Netherlands (Reuters) - Separate unions for black players would not make sense and would make it more difficult to stand up for the rights of footballers, the world players' union FIFPro said on Friday.
Secretary General Theo van Seggelen said that FIFPro, which represents 60,000 players worldwide through national affiliates and holds regular talks with UEFA, FIFA and the European Commission, would not be able to exist if black players formed their own unions.
There has been talk in England of a breakaway movement by black footballers to fight racism and the lack of inclusiveness after several said they were unhappy with the steps currently being taken.
England's Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) is a FIFPro member.
"If you have to protect the rights of 60,000 professional players, you cannot make a difference between a black player or a white player, or a Muslim or a Catholic, or a rich player or a poor player," Van Seggelen told Reuters.
"We said when we started rebuilding FIFPro in 1992, we agreed that we would have a global organisation. For us every player is equal. We respect the player in the English third division, as much as the player in China, as well as the player from Congo.
"It doesn't make sense to have unions for black players," he added. "If that is the case there is no reason to have FIFPro.
"We can only represent the players worldwide when we everyone accepts that every player is equal. I am 100 percent against. Our philosophy is equal rights for players and on a global level that is not easy."
Van Seggelen was also concerned by Chelsea's allegations that referee Mark Clattenburg made an inappropriate comment to Nigerian midfielder John Obi Mikel in a Premier League match against Manchester United.
English players' union chief Gordon Taylor said a comment by the referee was of a racist nature. Clattenburg has not commented and an FA and police probe are underway.
Chelsea's complaint comes in the wake of their defender John Terry being banned for four matches after the FA found him guilty of racially abusing Queen Park Rangers defender Anton Ferdinand.
"Now, it's going much too far. The whole football family has to try to concentrate on prevention and not try to point fingers," van Seggelen said. (Editing by Mark Meadows)

Gomez grabs victory for Germany
Mario Gomez scored a magnificent header as Germany battled to a 1-0 victory over Portugal to make a winning start to their Euro 2012 campaign.
Portugal's defensive obduracy had frustrated Germany for 72 minutes and Gomez was about to be substituted when he planted Sami Khedira's cross past goalkeeper Rui Patricio. Suddenly faced with chasing the game, instead of settling for the bore draw, Portugal brought Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani into the game and laid siege on the German goal.
In a barnstorming finish, German goalkeeper Manuel Neuer brilliantly denied Silvestre Varela to seal the victory as Joachim Low's men made a successful start to their quest for a first European crown since 1996.

His "War, Peace, and the State" is something that all peace advocates — not just self-conscious libertarians — ought to be familiar with.
