EDINBURGH, Scotland - FIFA is willing to allow goal-line technology decisions to be shown to fans on big screens in stadiums and television viewers.
In a document to be assessed by soccer's rule-makers on Saturday, FIFA has reversed its previous stance that referees could be undermined if the results from the high-tech aids were revealed.
FIFA will allow leagues, such as the MLS, to decide whether to use replays that are shown to fans. However, referees will have the power to ignore the goal-line decisions.
"The question of whether and how replays are shown on TV or on an LED screen in a stadium should be one of the first discussion points when starting the implementation of goal-line technology in a competition," says a FIFA document on the implementation of goal-line technology. "FIFA recommends involving referees in this discussion as well, due to the fact that the main objective of GLT (goal-line technology) is to support and protect the referee."
Goal-line technology had divided meetings of soccer's rule-making panel for years until FIFA President Sepp Blatter reversed his opposition and it was officially sanctioned last July.
The International Football Association Board annual meeting returns to Scotland on Saturday for its first visit since it decided five years ago that the sport should be free of non-human intervention in decision-making.
The big decisions will now center on which goal-line technology systems to use.
As FIFA's leadership was arriving in Edinburgh, the organization announced on Friday that a fourth system had been licensed.
GoalControl-4D, which uses seven high-speed cameras aimed at each goalmouth, joins another camera-based system, Hawk-Eye, and two other projects -- GoalRef and Cairos -- which use magnetic field technology to judge if the ball crossed the line.
All four systems meet FIFA's requirement that a signal is transmitted to the referee's watch within one second if a goal should be awarded.
Hawk-Eye and GoalRef were approved last year and used at the Club World Cup in Japan in December. FIFA has invited tenders for selection to be used at the Confederations Cup in Brazil in June and the 2014 World Cup.
Domestic competitions are also racing to introduce technology, with the Premier League on course for systems to be installed by the new season in August.
But FIFA also disclosed in its latest document that referees harboring doubts about the accuracy of technology in a particular stadium can decide up to 45 minutes before kickoff to switch it off.
"If the referee check does not satisfy the referee (i.e. the technology fails one or more tests), the referee must reject the use of the GLT system for the relevant match," FIFA says.
IFAB, which comprises officials from FIFA and the four British football associations, will consider clarifying the contentious offside rule.
FIFA is proposing that an attacker should be considered offside when "gaining an advantage by being in that position," including receiving the ball from a rebound or deflection from the goal frame or a player in the defending team attempting a tackle, block or save.
However, an attacker should be allowed to play on when receiving a deliberate pass, such as a back pass, from the defending team.
The IFAB panel also will consider closing a loophole on uncontested dropped balls after a contentious goal in a Champions League match in November.
Ignoring the unwritten code of sportsmanship, Shakhtar Donetsk forward Luiz Adriano chased a long kick following an uncontested drop ball and scored against Nordsjaelland, whose injured player had forced play to be stopped.
IFAB will consider amending the rules to ensure that a goal cannot be allowed if one team expecting to receive the ball after an uncontested drop has not touched it.
The panel will be asked to approve trials of an electronic chip in players' shirts, which could potentially warn of medical problems.
Electronic communication between players and staff is currently banned, but the importance of safeguarding players' health was highlighted last March when Bolton player Fabrice Muamba had a cardiac arrest during a match in England. Muamba recovered but was forced to retire.
"Chips can monitor heart performance, distance run, changes in a person's body function," said Stewart Regan, chief executive of the Scottish FA.

RIVERSIDE (AP) — Firefighters stopped the spread of a 311-acre wildfire in the heavily vegetated Santa Ana River bottom Friday, despite gusty Santa Ana winds and extremely dry conditions amid a late-winter heat spell.
Firefighters continued to work on hotspots, and a firefighting helicopter was on standby, said Greg Birchfield, a spokesman for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection in Riverside County.
Containment was estimated at 40 percent. Afternoon conditions included northeast winds at 10-15 mph with gusts to 20-25 mph with temperatures in the low 80s and relative humidity at just 5 percent.
No injuries were reported, Birchfield said.
At its peak, the fire downed power lines and burned near a residential area, prompting a call for voluntary evacuations. That order was lifted and electricity was restored by Friday morning, county fire officials said.
On Thursday, a backyard trailer went up in flames about a quarter-mile from the fire lines in a neighborhood where embers were flying, but fire officials couldn't immediately say whether the wildfire embers sparked it.
Southern California's Santa Ana winds are most often associated with fall but can occur through winter. They are created when air moving clockwise around an area of surface high pressure in the interior of the West flows down through passes and canyons in the region's mountains, gaining speed and warmth as they blow from a northeasterly direction toward the Pacific Ocean.
Numerous Southern California points saw Friday high temperatures in the 80s and Fullerton, in Orange County, hit 90.
The National Weather Service said the surface high pressure over the Great Basin was expected to slowly weaken through early Saturday.

Art reflects its time, a primary source of information.
This canvas is a study's based on Renaissance paintings and refer to a historical concept. Somehow they reflect an atmosphere of apocalypse.
Whether religious, sexual or political, they are part of the timeframe then and the timeframe now. Wars going on, religious uproar, sexual conflicts, economicly uncertain times. But at the same an opening up of fantastic innovative possibilities in all the important fields, such as science, print, astronomy etc.
With these study's I want to connect 16th century art with Contemporary art.
Riedstra has studied applied arts in Tel Aviv and The Hague, as well as M.A. Scenography at St Martins London, and completed her masters in Seville, Spain. She lives in the Netherlands

More than eight months after going down with a season-ending knee injury, Dan Metzger played his first game for New York Red Bulls II last weekend on Saturday, April 2.
The midfielder started and played 66 minutes en route to the team's first win of the season on the road against Louisville City FC, 2-0.
"It was good - I had a bunch of games leading up to it that definitely helped me prepare, but once it comes for a regular season game it's a whole different game," Metzger said. "It was definitely fun being out there, being able to play with my teammates again, and just to get solid minutes under my belt since my injury. The plan was never to go 90, but with the time I had I thought I did well."
Metzger played his final game of the 2015 season on July 22, while making his first team debut in the Red Bulls' International Champions Cup victory against Chelsea F.C., 4-2.
After undergoing surgery later that week, he began his lengthy rehabilitation.
"At first it was a lot of stability work, just focusing on landing and once that came back it came to be lateral movements and then building back up to strength," Metzger remembered. "At [physical therapy], we did a lot of single-leg work, we did a lot of balance and exercises to help with my coordination because the muscle comes back eventually, but the hardest thing to get back is the coordination."
Despite the difficulty of the physical restoration, the midfielder conceded that the key was a positive mentality.
"It's tough you just got to take it day-by-day really," Metzger said. "At first I didn't think it would be too bad and then after the first couple months went by, you realize how much it sucks being out and not being able to play.
"You really just have to take every day and just look forward to the next one, be positive with everything you do and then at the end of it, once six or seven months came, it felt like it flew by. It is very mental, but in the long run if you can just stay positive you can get through it."
Last season, Metzger totaled 12 games played, including 11 starts, with Red Bulls II while also balancing national team duties with the U.S. U-23 Men's National Team.
For the former Red Bulls academy player, the goal in 2016 is to reestablish himself – then challenge for a spot in the first team.
"For myself it's just to get back where I ended last year and then hopefully better and push for the first team at the end of the year. We've got a new team - we look good at the start - a lot of new players and everything so hopefully we can push for a better season and end with a championship."
New York Red Bulls II returns to action at Red Bull Arena this weekend on Sunday, April 10, against Bethlehem Steel FC at 7:30 p.m. ET (WATCH: NewYorkRedBulls.com/Live; TICKETS: NewYorkRedBulls.com/2/tickets)

Part 2:
Article 1:
Article Title: Resveratrol and curcumin enhance pancreatic β-cell function by inhibiting phosphodiesterase activity
Article Description: The key aim of this study is to determine the relationship between pancreatic β-cell function, resveratrol (RES) and curcumin (CUR), to examine whether or not RES and CUR enhances pancreatic β-cell function. RES and CUR are polyphenols, found predominately within fruits and turmeric, which have been previously reported to contain medicinal properties that are beneficial to diabetes mellitus patients. Previously published studies claim that the therapeutic properties of RES and CUR can be attributed to their anti-inflammatory effects and protection against β-cell dysfunction. This study thus seeks to examine such reported phenomenon by examining the mechanism/s of action of RES and CUR in β-cells. Results indicate that RES and CUR regulate insulin secretion under glucose-stimulated conditions, and increase intracellular levels of cAMP, which plays an important role in insulin secretion and pancreatic β-cell health. The study also showcases that RES and CUR inhibit the activity of phosphodiesterases, which degrade cAMP. The polyphenols RES and CUR thus indeed enhance pancreatic β-cell function and have therapeutic benefits to diabetic patients.

Article 2:
Article Title: Ultrastructural Alterations of Pancreatic Beta Cells in Human Diabetes Mellitus
Article Description: The aim of this article is to investigate the correlation between pancreatic beta cells and diabetes mellitus, within humans. This is done by focusing on the ultrastructural alterations of beta cells in human diabetes. Throughout the study, beta cells have been retrieved from the pancreas of eight non-diabetic, five type 1 diabetic and eight type 2 diabetic organ donors, and analysed under morphometric electron microscopy. Results have indicated that lower quantities of beta cells are present in patients suffering type 1 and 2 diabetes, compared to non-diabetic patients. Additionally, insulin granules are more represented in non-diabetic patients than in type 2 diabetic patients, while type 1 diabetic patients show minimal changes. Pancreatic beta cells within diabetic patients have also showcased greater apoptosis than beta cells in non-diabetics. These results are expected to improve therapeutic measures for diabetes.
Article Reference: <pubmed>28303682</pubmed>
Article 3:
Article Title: Impairment of pancreatic β-cell function by chronic intermittent hypoxia
Article Description: The central purpose of this study is to demonstrate the link between chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) and pancreatic β-cell function. Via experimentation on rodents, the results of this study indicate that mitochondrial oxidative stress, which is produced by CIH, causes decreased pancreatic β-cell function, or increased pancreatic β-cell dysfunction. This is demonstrated by augmented basal insulin secretion, insulin resistance, defective proinsulin processing and impaired glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. This study thus contains direct evidence that CIH impacts β-cell function. As CIH is a hallmark of sleep apnoea, this study also indicates that CIH-impacted β-cell dysfunction could be a possible contributor to type 2 diabetes within sleep apnoea patients. It thus encourages possible future research in this area.
Article Reference: <pubmed>23709585</pubmed>
Article 4:
Article Title: Protein tyrosine phosphatase-1B modulates pancreatic β-cell mass
Article Description: The goal of this study is to analyse the action/s of protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B), which is an endoplasmic reticulum bound phosphatase that has been previously documented to negatively regulate insulin signalling, in pancreatic islets. Through experimental procedures on rodents and morphometric analysis of their pancreatic cells, the results of this study indicate that mice with PTP1B exhibit increased β-cell area, higher β-cell proliferation and decreased β-cell apoptosis, compared to their wild-type counterparts. This study thus sheds light on the involvement of PTP1B in β-cell physiology, and encourages the potential of PTP1B as a therapeutical target for the treatment of β-cell failure, which is characteristic of type 2 diabetes.

French Revolutionary Wars
French Revolutionary Wars, wars occurring in the era of the French Revolution and the beginning of the Napoleonic era, the decade of 1792–1802. The wars began as an effort to defend the Revolution and developed into wars of conquest under the empire. The peace obtained in 1801–2 is generally considered to divide the French Revolutionary Wars from the Napoleonic Wars, but the character of the conflict changed only gradually.

The Filibuster
For Allen… Would you vote for Romney if doing so guaranteed the Tigers a World Series win?
Niles, MI
Religion and literature are full of characters who were willing to make a deal with the devil in return for some sort of gift. Adam and Eve received the knowledge of good and evil while Faust sold his soul for earthly knowledge and pleasure. The catch, of course, is that there are always consequences. Adam and Eve lose paradise and the original Faust is carried to hell by the Devil himself.
Baseball isn't immune from this phenomenon, the most popular example coming from the Broadway hit "Damn Yankees." And honestly, it's no surprise that baseball fans (or fans of any other sport, for that matter) would be willing to sell their souls in exchange for their team winning a championship. There's a reason that supporters of sports teams are described via a shortened form of the word "fanatic."
It's a little different for me, though, especially when the deal is so clearly Faustian. The Tigers have always been my team and I follow them from the beginning to the often painful end of the season every year, but my world does not fundamentally change with Tigers' wins and losses. Similarly, the argument could be made that the quadrennial presidential elections really don't change much in a country that is held hostage by a two-party system, but I still believe that the President's power to nominate judges and justices, decide foreign policy and choose how the laws of the nation will be executed means that his or her role is of supreme importance.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, the stakes in this year's presidential election, and any presidential election, are so much higher than one city winning the right to call themselves champion for a year. If the Tigers lose, Medicare will continue to function, women will still have the right to choose and we aren't going to suddenly find ourselves fighting a new war in Syria or Iran. If Romney wins, these propositions all suddenly become much less certain.
I'd love to see the Tigers win the World Series, even if that looks less and less likely with every pathetic swing of the bat. But there's no way that I would risk my country's future or the lives of my friends and family members on it. Faust was willing to make a deal with the devil. Me, I'm not so arrogant.

Shoulder girdle sports traumatology mainly affects young (or young-at-heart), active patients and requires sophisticated diagnostics and innovative treatments, as both sporting and professional demands increase.
The renowned Sports Orthopaedics Department at the Technical University of Munich, headed by Professor Andreas B. Imhoff, provides highly specialised, state-of-the-art shoulder surgery based on the findings of the latest medical research (58th annual conference of the Association of South German Orthopaedists, Orthopaedic News 05/2010). The key objective here is to offer swift professional and physical rehabilitation, enabling people to return to work and to a normal life free of pain. The department's multilingual team of experts focuses not only on providing comprehensive, long-term orthopaedic and traumatological care to professional and elite athletes, but also on offering comprehensive, end-to-end treatment to international guests – from initial diagnosis right through to customised rehabilitation based on physiotherapy and physical therapy. Up-to-the-minute imaging methods, such as MRI, help make diagnosis as swift as possible. First consideration is always given to the least aggressive form of therapy, which is usually physiotherapy, even though this invariably requires a longer period of treatment.
Traumatic rotator cuff tears
Tears in the supraspinatus (SSP) and infraspinatus (ISP) tendons are due to a traumatic, i.e. suddenly occurring event in 50 per cent of cases. As a group of several muscles, the rotator cuff between the upper arm and shoulder is where a number of muscles are attached. It is there because the shoulder joint needs to be extremely flexible, hence its ball-and-socket arrangement that allows the upper arm to be moved in almost all directions. Nowadays, in situations where high professional and/or private physical demands on the patient cause the rotator cuff to tear, the remedy of choice is immediate surgery. In addition to the plethora of open reconstruction techniques, a range of more technically advanced arthroscopic procedures is increasingly coming to the fore. In these keyhole procedures, an instrument mounted with a camera looks into the joint and the defective area is repaired as necessary. The department always uses the latest methods, such as the speed-bridge technique in which minor tears in the rotator cuff are fixed and any pre-existing damage is repaired at the same time. If the tendon on the underside of the shoulder blade ruptures (subscapularis tendon – SSC), a relatively seldom occurrence, the injury is frequently missed despite it having a specific diagnosis.
Acute separated shoulder
Accidents often result in injuries to the acromioclavicular joint, which holds the collarbone and acromion together. When clinical and radiological confirmation of the diagnosis is taking place it is essential to look out for any commonly observed concomitant injuries, such as SLAP lesions (injuries to the labrum of the shoulder), fractures or damage to the rotator cuff. If the acromioclavicular joint is unstable, it is advisable for this to be treated promptly by surgery, as clinical studies have revealed that delayed treatment leads to a significantly worse outcome. The multi-directional stability of the acromioclavicular joint is based on the interaction of various structures, including a number of ligaments, involved both in horizontal and vertical movement.
The joint's physiological biomechanics can be restored immediately and permanently using an arthroscopic surgery technique that was newly developed by the head of the department and has since been routinely deployed.
Osseous avulsion of the glenoid rim (Bankart fracture)
Bankart fractures typically follow on from shoulder separations, i.e. when the upper arm is separated from the shoulder joint, a rupture of the shoulder's anterior glenoid lip. The use of arthroscopic, minimally invasive procedures to treat Bankart fractures enables concomitant injuries to be treated directly. Stabilising the often small fragments by means of absorbable suture anchors introduced via keyhole surgery performed by Professor Andreas B. Imhoff is a relatively non-aggressive and long-lasting treatment.

It's been a year since we looked at the colleges with the largest amount of money in their endowment funds, and we thought it was time to check in again.
ThinkAdvisor decided to double the list to the Top 20 Richest Colleges for 2013 over the slideshows of 2012 and 2011 so we could include more than the usual suspects on our list.
The data comes from the NACUBO Commonfund Study of Endowments, which examined 835 U.S. colleges and universities. Overall, the study found that the endowments returned an average of 11.7% for the fiscal year that ended in June.
The funds continued their rebound from the Great Recession. And that's a good thing because endowments pay a key part of the schools' operating budgets, making up an average of 8.8%.
(Check out last year's Top 10 Richest Colleges for 2012 on ThinkAdvisor.)
NACUBO notes that the percentage gains for the endowment funds do not equate to investment returns. Instead, the percentage change reflects the net impact of:
- Withdrawals to fund institutional operations and capital expenses;
- The payment of endowment management and investment fees;
- Additions from donor gifts and other contributions;
- Investment gains or losses.
In addition the market value of real estate and other illiquid assets is estimated and can change quickly.

Shortly before her husband died, a B.C. woman promised him she would use his stored sperm to have the baby they both wanted regardless of whether he died.
But the woman, who is identified only by the initials K.L.W. in a court ruling, hadn't been advised that the fertility clinic storing the sperm required the written consent of her husband, identified as A.B., to make use of the sperm for reproductive purposes in the event of his death.
She had to file a petition in court to get permission for release of the sperm so that she could have the baby.
A ruling that was edited by a judge to preserve the privacy of the family noted that at age 10 months, A.B. was diagnosed with a medical condition that required numerous hospitalizations.
K.L.W. was aware from the beginning of their relationship of her husband's problems and that they would likely require in-vitro fertilization in order to conceive a child but they decided to postpone having children until they completed their post-secondary education and until A.B.'s health stabilized.
Shortly before A.B. died, the petitioner promised him that she would have their baby
"The petitioner and A.B. shared an intense desire to have a family," B.C. Supreme Court Justice Paul Pearlman said in his ruling. "However, A.B. suffered from a succession of severe medical conditions … that disrupted and postponed their plans to conceive a child."
By 2009, A.B.'s health had stabilized, allowing him to reduce his medications and the couple decided to renew their efforts to have a child.
They met with a doctor at the Genesis Fertility Centre in Vancouver and with a urologist at the Vancouver General Hospital to discuss A.B. undergoing a procedure for the extraction of his sperm.
In October 2009, A.B. had the surgery under sedation at the UBC hospital and had his sperm extracted, frozen and stored at Genesis.
A.B. was hospitalized between March and August 2010 for treatment of complications with his pain medications and was hospitalized on numerous occasions for infections.
In 2011 he suffered a post-operative infection, resulting in further surgery. His kidneys ceased to function and he died as a result of multi-organ failure.
"Shortly before A.B. died, the petitioner promised him that she would have their baby," said the judge in his ruling.
But K.L.W. only learned of the need for written consent to release the sperm from the clinic as a result of a telephone conversation with the clinic shortly after her husband's death.
She was told that Genesis would be able to store the sperm but that under Canadian law, she would not be able to use it to conceive a child in Canada because A.B. had not stipulated his consent in a will.
Since her husband's death, K.L.W. has paid more than $1,000 to Genesis in sperm storage fees.
In his ruling agreeing to release the sperm to K.L.W., the judge noted that the couple had spoken to a social worker, a registered nurse, family members and A.B.'s family physician of their plan to conceive a child and have a family even if he died.
"I find that during their marriage, the petitioner and A.B. made a carefully considered plan to try to conceive a child using the reproductive material," said the judge.
The judge said that had the requirement for written consent been brought to his attention, A.B. would have promptly given his consent in writing.
"To deny the petitioner the use of the reproductive material intended by A.B. would be both unfair and an affront to her dignity."
Genesis, though named and served as a respondent in the lawsuit, did not partake in the court proceedings and the petition went unopposed. The clinic had no immediate comment.

This year's annual Hope-Holland Community Day on Saturday, Sept. 6, will feature a new venue.
This year's annual Hope-Holland Community Day on Saturday, Sept. 6, will feature a new venue.
For the first time, the long-running event's picnic will be held on the east lawn of the college's Richard and Helen DeVos Fieldhouse facing Fairbanks Avenue between Ninth and 11th streets. The day will also feature the sights of Windmill Island; and a home football game with Illinois Wesleyan University.
The picnic alternates between Windmill Island and the Hope campus, and was held at the island in 2007. The Richard and Helen DeVos Fieldhouse opened in the fall of 2005 and was dedicated in January 2006. Previously the picnics on campus were held on the college's Van Raalte Commons, most recently in 2006.
"The new fieldhouse lawn is a beautiful setting, and we're pleased to have a chance to highlight it through the picnic," said Lynne Powe, associate director of public and community relations, who coordinates Community Day. "We also hope that picnic-goers will find it convenient for getting to the game, since the fieldhouse is just up Fairbanks Avenue from the stadium."
The picnic will run from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Persons purchasing tickets in advance will also receive a free ticket for admission to WindmillIsland from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. that day, as well as a ticket for the HopeCollege football game at Holland Municipal Stadium, which begins at 1:30 p.m.
The picnic will consist of bratwurst, hamburger, sliced turkey breast, vegetarian croissants, salads, chips, cookies, beverages and other picnic fare. Live music will be provided throughout the picnic by the Holland American Legion Band.
The West Ottawa High School marching band will be playing at the game.
Community Day is scheduled in celebration of the long-standing relationship between Holland residents and the faculty, students and staff of Hope College. The event debuted in October 1966 as a Community Ox Roast, held in conjunction with the HopeCollege centennial celebration. Like the first event, which was the idea of former mayor Nelson Bosman, subsequent Community Days have provided an opportunity for Holland and Hope to come together.
Tickets for Community Day, which include the picnic, football game and admission to WindmillIsland, cost $7.50 for regular admission and $4 for children age five to 11, with admission free for children under five.
Advance tickets for Community Day may be purchased at the DeVos Fieldhouse, 222 Fairbanks Ave., weekdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tickets will also be sold at the picnic on the day of the event. Additional information may be obtained by calling the college's Office of Public and Community Relations at (616) 395-7860 or online at the college's Web site at www.hope.edu.
In the event of rain, the picnic will be moved to the dining room of Phelps Hall, located on the Hope College campus at 154 E. 10th St., on Columbia Avenue at 10th Street. If the picnic is moved inside, announcements will be made online at www.hope.edu and on area radio stations.

Celebrating victories, and hoping for another with Publix
Lupe Gonzalo remembers the first call. It was from a woman who had been forced to overfill the 32-pound bucket of tomatoes. The heavy fruit heaped above the bucket's brim, but the added work did not mean more money for the worker struggling to make minimum wage in Florida's fields.
The woman had called the Coalition of Immokalee Workers for help and Gonzalo, 31, answered.
It was shortly after November 2011, when the Florida Tomato Growers Exchange — which represents 90 percent of the state's tomato farm owners — agreed to follow the Fair Food Code of Conduct.
Gonzalo knew, for the first time, that the woman would not have to suffer long.
"For us, it was really beautiful that the rights were there to respect, and we can use them," she said through a translator Friday.
Gonzalo is one of about 100 people marching along U.S. 41 from Fort Myers to Lakeland. The group is celebrating the rights farmworkers secured. They are also protesting Publix.
The marchers will pass through Sarasota today as they trek to the corporate headquarters of Florida's largest grocery chain. The Coalition of Immokalee Workers has been pushing Publix to join other companies like McDonald's, Trader Joe's and Whole Foods, which buy tomatoes from growers who follow the code of conduct.
The companies who participate pay an additional penny per pound of tomatoes. In the first season, those pennies added up to $8 million for farmworkers, according to the Coalition.
"It really makes a change in the life of workers," Gonzalo said.
For years, Publix has said it does not want to land in the middle of what the company views as a labor dispute between growers and farmworkers. If tomato suppliers need to increase the price of goods to provide legal wages and working conditions, the company said it would rather pay that price than the additional penny per pound.
"However, we will not pay employees of other companies directly for their labor. That is the responsibility of their employer, and we believe all parties would be better served if appropriate wages were paid by growers to their workers, and we were charged accordingly," reads a message from a Publix spokeswoman.
For many of the major corporations that have joined the fair food effort, the penny is just included in the price of tomatoes and goes through the supply chain to growers who pay their workers, said Laura Safer Espinoza, a former New York Supreme Court judge who now runs the Sarasota-based Fair Foods Standards Council, which oversees participating tomato growers.
She says Publix argument is "not the reality."
"To me it certainly is about as far from a labor dispute as one could get. This is a partnership between workers and growers and buyers to solve a problem and historical injustices," Espinoza said.
Gonzalo, who has been working the fields in the U.S. for 12 years, is well-acquainted with the injustices. When she left her home country, Guatemala, she did not anticipate becoming a farmworker — or that the conditions would be so dire.
"I expected to work hard but I expected life would be different, because you hear, 'Oh, United States!' " Gonzalo said.
Instead, she said she headed into an industry where workers had suffered decades of sexual harassment, verbal abuse and minimal wages.
Why are people gathering tomatoes treated this way? she wonders.
"I think it's because people think farmworkers are afraid to report abuses," Gonzalo said. "Because they're from another country or because they're poor they won't speak up for themselves."
On Friday, she was surrounded by people whose chants showed that is not the case.
Although the marchers had been walking for several days, nothing about the protest seemed weary.
At the front of the march young people sang in a truck with speakers playing dance music one minute, and This Little Light of Mine the next. Behind them, the roughly 100 participants chanted and waved enthusiastically. Some chatted with passersby.
Farmworker Leonel Perez, 26, stressed that the march is about educating people they meet along the walk and encouraging consumers to buy fair food.
In past marches, the Coalition of Immokalee Workers brought a replica of the Statue of Liberty carrying a bucket with raised a tomato above her head. Now, the figure was of a farmworker, dressed in jeans. In his arms are a document of rights and a shining bucket bearing the message "New Day."
The farmworkers hope other industries — beyond the tomato growers — will make changes. People picking bell peppers, chilies and oranges face the same conditions the tomato pickers used to endure, farmworker Cruz Salucio, 28, said.
The Coalition of Immokalee Workers tries to defend those workers when abuses occur, but without the growers signing on to a code of conduct it is difficult to prevent unfair wages and harassment, Salucio said.
"We're opening or creating a path and establishing important precedents in the tomato industry to serves as a model," he said. "We'd love for one day that 'New Day' to shine throughout the agriculture industry."

Forget Charlie Crist say Democratic women who like Nan Rich
Nan Rich is hoping she can tap a vein of support among Democratic women who'd like to see Florida elect its first female governor.
Many of the 24 women who listened to Rich at the Democratic Women's Club of Northeast Broward on Wednesday night fall into this category. (There were also eight men.)
"I would love to see a woman up in Tallahassee, and we certainly need to get somebody a lot better than what we have currently," said Mikkie Belvedere, past president of the Wynmoor Democratic Club and a Coconut Creek city commissioner.
Belvedere isn't concerned about the pundit class, which says Rich doesn't have a chance.
"They're not always right. I think Nan has done excellent work," she said. "She's been working very hard all over the state."
She also isn't bothered by the widely expected entrance into the race by former Gov. Charlie Crist, the Republican turned independent turned Democrat.
"It may be problem [for Rich] because of his name recognition, but at the same time – and I like Charlie Crist as a person – but I call him a door knob. His head turns like a door knob in any direction, so I don't know how people are going to react to that…. I think it may work against him"
Joanne Sterner, corresponding secretary for the Democratic Women's Club of northeast Broward and the Democratic Women's Club of Florida, said Rich will benefit from traveling the state with a special emphasis on Democratic women.
"They're bringing their husbands and their friends and this makes a big difference. People are actually getting their hands on to a candidate. A lot of the elections you see a candidate in a gigantic room and you can't get near 'em. This way it's a more personalized thing and people are finding out, you know, that she's a real person, and she's really down to earth and she's good on all of our issues."
Sterner said Rich can with the nomination. "She's a people person. Money only buys one voter. I've always believed that, and all the money in the world won't convince people if they're not on the right side of the issues. So you talk to one person at a time. It's a grassroots organization. It keeps growing and growing and we just get the vote out."
Why are so many in the party's establishment waiting for Crist?
"They think that Charlie is the only person who can beat [Republican Rick] Scott. I don't believe that. I think that Charlie has done a lot of damage to himself. He's flip flopped on too many issues. He's jumped out of one race and into another. Him all of a sudden thinking he's a good Democrat now, I don't buy that. I've been a Democrat all my life and I support Democrats that are true Democrats.
"I think that there's going to be a big backlash against Charlie Crist, not only from the Democrats, but from the Republicans. And he's going to get double barrel out there.
" You know, I can't wait for Nan to debate him on issues, because there's no comparison," Sterner said. "She can sit down and say OK, this is what I have done in the Florida Senate and in the Florida House over my years, now what have you done?"
Maggie Davidson, the state Democratic committeewoman for Broward County and president of the Democratic Women's Club of Northeast Broward, said gender isn't the most important factor.
"She will make a really great governor because she's so knowledgeable. She knows all the issues. From being in the Legislature she knows the state. She knows all about how to make laws and do all that and how to talk to the other side as well in a way that she comes up with solutions."
Davidson thinks Rich can overcome the naysayers.
"What I've said to people who have said to me she can't win, and I say to them she can if you vote for her. And then they say well she can't raise money. And I say yes she can if you write her a check. And the other thing, about he's the only candidate that can win and I say let's remember Marco Rubio. They didn't think he could win…. And now we have Marco Rubio, the tea party guy in the Senate, who's helping to destroy our country.
"She's a great candidate. She'd be a great governor," Davidson said. "We want her in the governor's mansion. There is no question she is the best candidate.
"Democratic women are going to get her the nomination…. Even though women didn't come out in 2010, I think they will this time," Davidson said.
After Rich spoke to Davidson's club on Wednesday, Davidson passed out envelopes in which people could make donations to Rich's campaign, and she urged people to give even though Rich hasn't been able to attract big bucks from major Democratic donors. "We know that they're withholding money, waiting for what's his name to get in the race."

How the Surveillance State Changes Our Everyday Lives
From Vice/ By Molly Crabapple
George Orwell's 1984 opens with Winston Smith carving out a pocket of privacy by crouching in a corner of his apartment where the telescreen—and thus Big Brother—can't see and writing a diary entry. These days, that Stalin-inspired nightmare seems quaint.
We carry our personal telescreens around with us, and take it for granted that if someone wants to watch us, they can.There is nowhere to hide, even in the Hong Kong hotel room where Laura Poitras filmed Edward Snowden talking to Glenn Greenwald about the revelations about the NSA the whistleblower unleashed on the world. At one point in Citizenfour, Poitras's film about the surveillance state and Snowden, an impatient Snowden yanks the hotel phone's plug from the wall. All VoIP phones can be bugged, he explains, tossing away the cord. The NSA could know what he ordered from room service.
Much of Citizenfour was shot over the eight days that Poitras and Greenwald spent with Snowden. In contrast to the gray poverty of 1984's Oceania, the documentary's dystopian setting is sleekly modern. Poitras shoots NSA data centers, Occupy Wall Street privacy training sessions, and the posh no-placeness of the business-class hotel. Snowden proves what the two journalists already suspected and, thanks to him, we all now know: The US government is spying on everyone. He then trains them in the cumbersome feints with which they might evade its gaze. (more…)


text: Washington: Researchers have discovered an abnormal amount of a protein called Prostaglandin D2 in the bald scalp of men with male pattern baldness. The discovery by researchers at Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania may lead directly to new treatments for the most common cause of hair loss in men. In both human and animal models, researchers found that a prostaglandin known as PGD2 and its derivative, 15-dPGJ2, inhibit hair growth. The PGD2-related inhibition occurred through a receptor called GPR44, which is a promising therapeutic target for androgenetic alopecia in both men and women with hair loss and thinning. Male pattern baldness strikes 8 of 10 men under 70 years old, and causes hair follicles to shrink and produce microscopic hairs, which grow for a shorter duration of time than normal follicles. Researchers took an unbiased approach when scanning for potential biological causes of baldness, looking in scalp tissue from balding and non-bald spots from men with male pattern baldness and then corroborating findings in mouse models. They found that levels of PGD2 were elevated in bald scalp tissue at levels 3 times greater than what was found in comparative haired scalp of men with androgenetic alopecia. When PGD2 was added to cultured hair follicles, PGD2-treated hair was significantly shortly, while PGD2``s derivative, 15-dPGJ2, completely inhibited hair growth. "Although a different prostaglandin was known to increase hair growth, our findings were unexpected, as prostaglandins haven`t been thought about in relation to hair loss, yet it made sense that there was an inhibitor of hair growth, based on our earlier work looking at hair follicle stem cells,†said George Cotsarelis, MD, chair and professor of Dermatology, and senior author on the studies. In a Penn study published last year, underlying hair follicle stem cells were found intact, suggesting that the scalp was lacking an activator or something was inhibiting hair follicle growth. Prostaglandins are well characterized for their role in many bodily functions – controlling cell growth, constricting and dilating smooth muscle tissue – and a different prostaglandin (F2alpha) is known to increase hair growth. Researchers found that as PGD2 inhibits hair growth, other prostaglandins work in opposition, enhancing and regulating the speed of hair growth. While these studies looked at Androgenetic Alopecia in men, the researchers noted that prostaglandins may represent a common pathway shared by both men and women with Androgenetic Alopecia. Future studies, potentially testing topical treatments that may target GPR44, can determine whether targeting prostaglandins will benefit woman with Androgenetic Alopecia as well. The study has been published in Science Translational Medicine. http://stm.sciencemag.org/content/4/126/126ra34

I saw the queen once
she was in a big green jeep
whizzing around a field
I was with a crowd of kids
we cheered as she went past
but she didn't look at me
we had her picture on the classroom wall
between the clock and the crucifix
I knew that picture pretty well
I looked at it when I was pretending
to think of an answer
but I was making up a story
like me running off with Robot and Billy
getting lost in space and shaking off the family
she didn't smile in the picture
and was just a blur when she drove past
she seemed less real than the saints
I kind of knew she didn't care about me
but I was supposed to belong to her
because I was part of the commonwealth
which was all hers
or something like that
it was ok not to like her
not like God
who you had to love
even though he was watching you all the time
like that weird kid next door
who looked through my bedroom window
and gave me the collywobbles
I was more scared of him
than not doing my homework
that just made me feel sick
I guess I could have done it
but I was daring God to do it for me
he never did
I heard him laughing with my friends
when I got the strap
I just stared at the spit on Sister Ignatius' lip
and listened to the buzzing
thought that if I didn't die
one day I'd be old and free and only do what I wanted
she's still there
the queen
I'm still waiting.

What makes this so amazing to me is that from the child's eye perspective, there seems to be more wisdom without even thinking than any of the adults. But the poem is more special for the natural, but cleverly added side details like, 'she didn't look at me' 'between the clock and the crucifix' 'when I was pretending to think of an answer' 'was more scared of him than not doing my Homework' 'I heard him laughing with my friends when I got the strap' 'I just stared at the spit on Sister Ignatius' lip'. As you can tell, I loved this piece.

Great writing
I also loved the child-like naiivity and wisdom. I think you summed it up for all of us who were coralled out of school to stand in the street waving paper UJs and to watch a big black Roll-Royce cruise past and all we saw was a waving glove between bobbing heads.
I also like the tilt at the cruelty of Nuns in Catholic schools. Being a lucky Cof E I listened in amazement at stories by ex-pupils from Catholic schools in England, Belgium and Spain. Although they didn't know each other they seemed to be united in one thing --- The Nuns were cruel vindictive bitches.

Very deftly written, Philip. I narrowly avoided the delights of St Wilfred's and St George's Catholic schools in York (a stand-up row between my dad and Father Treacy, which I still remember. The priest had come to claim his prize for marrying my mam and dad. Nasty.) I had to make do with secular sadists. The restraint in this piece is great, as is the viewpoint of the child looking back, the asides that give it so much truth, and the heavy sigh of the adult narrator that ties the whole thing together. Perfect. A great piece of writing Philip. Loved it.

Really liked the quickness of this, right down to the lash of that buzzing thought. It feels like a kid taking a deep breath and saying it all in one go. The Queen passed me once too when I was a child and apparantly she smiled at us but I was shy and looked the other way. I expect she remembers though.

Crete gazes at the Mediterranean Sea. Do the same!
White Mountains' National Park is the only national park in Crete. It centres around the Samariá gorge, at an altitude of 1,200m and continues down to Ayia Rouméli, on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. Along with the surrounding slopes and a number of smaller gorges branching off from it, Samaria Gorge forms the whole of the area designated as a national park, a status that offers protection to over 450 species of plant and animal, 70 of which are endemic to Crete. In the prefecture of Chania (also written "Hania"), the Samaria gorge is the longest in Europe (total length 16km), and one of the most impressive gorges in Greece. It starts from Xylóskalo, at an altitude of 1,230m. The width of the gorge is 150m at its widest point and 3m at its narrowest.
A word of advice: Visitors can descend into the gorge and walk for about 6 to 8 hours. Even though the path runs downhill it requires strong, comfortable footwear and some degree of physical fitness. But it's well worth the effort. At the end of the path, swimming, taverna lunches and picnics under a canopy of trees within full view of the Mediterranean Sea all await you.
• Here is a brief hiking map:
As you walk downhill, you will come across the church of St. Nikolas, built on the ruins of an ancient temple. Half way down the gorge lies the old village of Samaria; its few houses are now used by the park wardens. Quench your thirst with mountain water running from the gorge's springs. Keep walking. At some point you will reach Pórtes (also called "Iron Gates"), the three narrowest passages of the gorge. The steep cliffs here tower as high as 500m above sea level. This route also goes past Venetian castles and ruins of prehistoric settlements as well as remnants of many other historical periods. As you are walking, you might feel as if someone else is watching you: the presence of the wild Cretan goats, known as "kri kri", will definitely make this route particularly exciting!
• The hike ends at Ayia Rouméli, where you can catch the ferry to Hóra Sfakion.
• Ayia Rouméli
Ayia Rouméli is a small coastal village that you reach after walking through the Samaria Gorge. From here a frequent boat service will take you directly to Loutró and Hóra Sfakion. The ancient Greek site of Tára, is on the left (east) hill as you exit the gorge. Many of the finds from Tára are housed in the Archaeological Museum of Chania. Tára flourished during Greek, Roman and Byzantine times. In Ayia Roumeli you can also visit the Byzantine churches of Panayia, Ayia Triada, and Ayios Pavlos, a Turkish castle and an exceptionally beautiful beach.
Nearby beaches: To the east of Ayia Rouméli discover the beaches of Mármara (at the exit of the Arádaina gorge), the wild beaches of Lýkos and Finikas, and the charming village of Loutró.
• Loutró
You can make a short or even a longer stop here on your way back to the point where your hiking adventure in the Samaria gorge began. The village can be reached by boat from Hóra Sfakion and Ayia Rouméli or on foot from Anopolis, Hóra Sfakion, and Ayia Rouméli. (Hiking tip: The footpaths appear deceptively short, especially in the heat of the summer. In addition, they may also be dangerous for inexperienced hikers. If you are not a hiking expert, take the boat from Hóra Sfakion; the trip lasts about 20 minutes.)
What can you do here?
• Well, first of all, you can just enjoy the laid-back atmosphere of the place.
• If you feel bored, daily boats will take you to the beaches of "Sweetwater" (where fresh water pours into the sea) and "Mármara".
• There are footpaths leading to "Pervolákia" and "Timios Stavros" beaches, and a rather strenuous hike will take you to the beautiful village of Anópoli, high on the cliff overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.
• Rent a boat to explore the area around Loutró.
• Dive to explore the crystal-clear waters and the amazing seabed of the Mediterranean Sea.
• Take a boat and go on a day trip to the island of Gávdos, the most southern tip of Europe—the dolphins will show you the way.
• Embark on a sailing adventure to discover inaccessible beaches—you might find a completely deserted one you can have all to yourself!
Gorge practicalities: The National Park that houses the gorge is open from May to October; in the first and last few weeks of that period it may close if there's a danger of flash floods.
Getting there
There are excursions to the Samaria gorge from the most cities and resorts on the island. You can even trek through the gorge under your own steam. Choose the city of Hania as your base. From here buses will take you to Xylóskalo. You can reach Ayia Roumeli on foot (at the exit of the Samaria gorge); there are several footpaths leading there. Frequent boat services (4 to 5 times a day) from Hóra Sfakion will also take you to Ayia Rouméli and Loutró. This small fishing village can also be reached on foot from Anópoli, Sfakia or Ayia Rouméli.

Proposal will either go to City Council or voters
A property owners' group has petitioned for a measure lifting rent control from certain Hoboken apartments, and the City Council must decide whether to hold a special meeting to schedule a public hearing on the proposal or let the voters cast their ballots on a referendum question this November.
City Clerk James Farina informed the council on Wednesday night that a petition circulated by the Mile Square Taxpayers Association (MSTA), a nonprofit alliance of property owners, has acquired enough signatures to force the council to take action on it.
If approved, the proposed changes would remove certain rent control restrictions that have been a mainstay of Hoboken apartments since the early 1970s.
"Obviously, nobody is playing fair." – Ron Simoncini
The city's longstanding Rent Control Ordinance, passed originally in 1973 and slightly amended several times since then, limits annual rent increases to a few percent a year, depending on federally decided cost of living increases. There are exceptions to allow landlords to make a profit if they upgrade the building, but any major changes to the law have been fought by tenant advocates in the last 40 years.
Because of the law – which applies to units constructed before 1987 and not the new luxury housing in town – some rents are still much lower than market rate. Tenant advocates argue that the law allows Hoboken's elderly, working-class, and artist population to afford to remain in a town where rents for new apartments sometimes exceed $4,000 per month.
They also argue that even if exemptions to rent control only apply when a current tenant leaves, that gives an incentive for landlords to harass a tenant into leaving so the landlord can raise the rent.
Last fall, Hoboken voters approved a set of minor amendments to rent control after a council committee debated them for more than two years. These amendments made it easier for landlords to apply for certain increases, and put limits on tenants' abilities to sue for back rents. They were meant as a compromise for both tenants and the MSTA, and came about due to an MSTA lawsuit.
20 days to decide
Ron Simoncini, executive director of the MSTA, said during Wednesday's council meeting that the new amendment will be put on November's ballot if the council does not hold a public hearing and vote within 20 days. Since the council is not scheduled to meet within the next 20 days, a special meeting would have to be called.
Some council members, such as Michael Russo, have said that they think a public debate needs to take place.
Tenant advocates have said they prefer a hearing and a City Council vote on the ordinance, because it will force the council members to take a public stand on the issue.
They also fear that referendum language can be manipulated to trick voters into voting against their intentions.
For or against?
Cheryl Fallick, who sits on city's Rent Leveling Board and is a member of the tenant advocacy group Hoboken Fair Housing Association, opposes the MSTA initiative. She is concerned that landlords will be able to forcibly evict tenants in order to utilize vacancy decontrol and forgo rent control restrictions.
"You can be evicted within 60 days if the owner feels like evicting you," said Fallick. Evictions do have to conform to certain state guidelines, for instance, non payment of rent. But Fallick noted, "The tenant would have no other recourse other than to take the landlord to court. This is all while they are in the process of being evicted."
Fallick also said that rent levels in Hoboken, compared to other areas, are "off the charts."
"The rent control laws were put in place to protect tenants from the unfair imbalance of power that landlords have over tenants," said Fallick, adding that the imbalance comes from both high rent costs and the requirement that tenants pay a security deposit, broker fee, and rent immediately upon signing a lease. "It's not the time to start exempting properties [from rent control]."
Simoncini maintains that newer tenants in Hoboken are paying cheap rents despite earning high incomes.
"The joke of it is, the new tenants in Hoboken…they're all working in New York," said Simoncini. "They are making 70, 80, to over $100,000 [a year], and the rent is so low. That's not normal. That's not what happens in real estate markets across the country."
Simoncini said that the current vacancy decontrol regulation, which requires that landlords apply for municipal permission to increase rents beyond the allotted amount, is not working.
"Obviously, nobody is playing fair," said Simoncini. "Hoboken is the worst-regulated rent control regime in the country. It's embarrassing."
"The tenants will come and say, 'Oh, this will be the end of rent control in Hoboken,' " said Simoncini. "No, that's a bunch of hooey. They'll be protected as they are protected currently."
"People want fairness," he said. "They want people in Hoboken to pay the full rent."
Fallick said the idea that the city's rent boards are not addressing landlords is untrue.
"I'm on the Rent Leveling Board," said Fallick. "I can tell you that is a lie. There's absolutely no landlord that has come before the Rent Leveling Board that hasn't gotten exactly what they asked for, if not close to it."
Hoboken tenant David Cogswell said that allowing landlords to negotiate with new tenants puts too much responsibility into the hands of the market.
"You can't have people's housing controlled strictly by the market, especially when the market is jumping up and down," said Cogswell.
Charles X. Gormally, an attorney for MSTA, said that the market would automatically adjust itself fairly according to supply and demand.
"The market seeks its own level," said Gormally. "When you begin to tinker with the market – which is what Hoboken has done with rent control – you affect the market forces."
Gormally also said that rent control keeps prices "artificially low" and inhibits owners from reinvesting in their property, because there is not enough of a payoff.
"The reality is, if you looked at communities that have eliminated rent control," said Gormally, "what you saw is a doubling of investment by property owners in their properties. You saw tremendous improvement being made in apartment buildings, because owners knew if they made those improvements, they'd be able to attract and negotiate to market rate level."
Gormally also said that landlords cannot remove tenants from their apartments unless there are grounds for eviction.
"Having represented a lot of landlords over the years, it's not an easy process," said Gormally, "even when you have grounds under the statute."
Lawsuit coming to a close?
Cogswell complained that city officials are unwilling to speak with him about the current state of rent control in the city due to a current lawsuit. That lawsuit is evidently coming to an end, according to Gormally, who represents landlords in a class action suit against the city.
The suit, "Gina DeNardo and 611-613, LLC vs. The City of Hoboken," seeks to "change the way Hoboken dealt with the rent calculation process," according to Gormally. However, the prior rent control regulation was amended after the filing of the suit.
Gormally said that the lawsuit is wrapping up because of the council's recent adoption of the amendments.
"We believe the last ordinance adopted by Hoboken moots our lawsuit," said Gormally, who added his clients are seeking to be declared the prevailing party in the lawsuit.
"[According to New Jersey statute], if you have brought a claim and the municipality changes the law in order to address [that] claim, you can apply to the court for attorney fees."
A hearing will take place Aug. 13 to determine if the plaintiffs are entitled to attorney fees, Gormally said.
