New York, October 19, 2011--Venezuela's telecommunications regulator has fined Globovisión, the country's last remaining critical network, more than US$2 million for its coverage of deadly prison riots in June and July, news reports said.
The fine stems from Globovisión's coverage of a tense 27-day standoff between government troops and prisoners at the country's El Rodeo II Prison in the city of Guatire, outside the capital, Caracas. The conflict began after troops raided a nearby prison looking for weapons, which set off gunfights that killed at least 22 people, according to news reports.
Pedro Maldonado, director of the National Telecommunications Commission, known as Conatel, told reporters that in Globovisión's televised interviews with relatives of prisoners, which were rebroadcast 269 times, the station violated the law on social responsibility in radio and television that, among other things, sanctions stirring public anxiety. He said the station falsely claimed that members of the National Guard had "massacred" prisoners and that the reporting could have provoked riots in other prisons. He also claimed that Globovisión failed to transmit the government's point of view in a timely manner.
The fine of 9,300,000 bolívares (approximately US$2,164,000) is equal to 7.5 percent of Globovisión's gross income for 2010, according to Maldonado. The director said in a news conference on Tuesday that the fine was the unanimous decision of the 11 members of the body's social responsibility directorate, press reports said.
"Yet again, Venezuela is attempting to silence the television station Globovisión, this time saying the television station's reporting stirred public anxiety," said Carlos Lauría, CPJ's senior coordinator for the Americas. "Venezuelan authorities must end their systematic campaign of harassment against one of the country's only remaining critical media groups and withdraw the fine."
Globovisión president Guillermo Zuloaga, who is living in exile, said the station would go before the Venezuelan courts to appeal the decision, which he called "grotesque and absurd," the network said. But under Venezuelan law, the fine cannot be deferred until a final court decision is handed down, and Maldonado said the fine must be paid by December 31.
Ricardo Antela, a Globovisión legal adviser, told CPJ that the station did its best to report an important story under extremely difficult circumstances. He said the station's reporters were forced to cover the story from outside a security cordon more than half a mile away from the prison. He also said the government made no official declaration until six days after the riots began and that government officials refused to speak to Globovisión about the crisis.
Globovisión Vice President María Fernanda Flores told reporters that the fine could bankrupt the station, which receives no government advertising. But she also vowed to continue transmitting the news. "There is no way to pay that much money," she said in an interview broadcast by the station. "We will continue to inform the public. We have never censored ourselves and we are not going to. We are not scared," she said.
However, Antela said, if Globovisión does not pay the fine, the state could seize Globovisión's bank accounts, making it impossible to pay employees and suppliers, and effectively shut down the station. He also said that eight of the 11 members of Conatel's social responsibility directorate were government appointees and added that the fine was an attempt to silence a critical voice. He said there was little hope of winning an appeal before the pro-government Venezuelan courts but said the station would take the case to the Inter-American Court of Human Rights.
Globovisión, a 24-hour news station, has frequently sparred with President Hugo Chávez and his administration, of whom it has been highly critical. In August 2009, a group of more than 30 armed pro-government militants riding motorcycles stormed the network's premises and set off tear gas. Earlier that year, Venezuelan regulators opened five administrative proceedings against the broadcaster on similar charges.
Globovisión is the only network critical of Chávez that is still on the air. Another opposition station, RCTV, was forced off cable and satellite TV in 2010 after its broadcast license was revoked in 2007.

GEORGE TOWN, Cayman Islands, May 3 (UPI) -- British Overseas Territories in the Western Hemisphere will abandon their "tax haven" status as London struggles to raise cash and counter European charges its Caribbean and other overseas territories encourage tax evasion.
Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne said London signed agreements with its overseas territories that will automate tax information exchange between Britain, its major international partners and Europe.
The sharing of tax information exposes bank account holders to tax collection authorities not only in Britain but also other countries and follows large-scale bank account disclosures secured as part of the European Union's financial rescue of Cyprus.
EU pried the information out of Cyprus by encouraging a media vilification campaign that focused on Russian account holders and suspected money laundering activities in Cyprus.
But the measure also targeted European tax evaders, Middle East financiers and anyone else interested in hiding assets from the taxman.
EU campaigns were aided by online leaks of alleged tax evaders' personal data.
Luxembourg and non-EU Switzerland have also given in -- though only to some degree in the case of Switzerland -- to EU demand for disclosures.
British Overseas Territories Anguilla, Bermuda, the British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, Montserrat and the Turks and Caicos Islands have agreed to automatically share tax information with the United Kingdom and with the G5, the Caribbean Journal reported.
The British Overseas Territories -- a designation for former colonies of the British empire -- and other regions with liberal tax regimes have been convenient vehicles for financial deals sanctioned with tacit knowledge of the authorities.
The alleged but rarely proven money-laundering spinoffs, too, carry convenient deniability loopholes, are seldom unknown to officials, and provide welcome benefits for small economies of the islands.
The Cayman Islands government was the first territory to agree to automatic information sharing.
The Cayman Islands, located in the western Caribbean Sea south of Cuba and northwest of Jamaica, include the three islands of Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac and Little Cayman.
Osborne said the overseas territories deal "represents a significant step forward in tackling illicit finance and sets the global standard in the fight against tax evasion.
"I now hope others follow these governments' lead and enter into similar commitments to this new level of transparency, removing the hiding places for those who seek to evade tax and hide their assets."
Analysts said European measures to close tax havens within EU jurisdiction triggered a scramble among banks elsewhere to attract new offshore banking business worth billions of dollars.
Officials say information sharing will cover names, addresses, dates of birth, account numbers, account balances and details of payments made into the overseas accounts.
It will also include information on accounts held by entities such as trusts.
Analysts say European tax collection officials face an expensive, long-drawn battle for recovery as, for every tax collector targeting evaders, there's at least one clever accountant or lawyer paid by an affected client to stay ahead of the game.
British moves to unearth tax avoidance schemes within its jurisdiction are aimed at raising cash for the treasury but also rebutting increasingly sharp accusations in Europe that London through its international financial networks harbors tax evaders.
Austrian Finance Minister Maria Fekter said the country won't change its laws until Britain ends tax haven and banking secrecy laws in offshore financial centers, including the Channel Islands.
"Austria is sticking to bank secrecy. We fight tax evasion and money laundering," she said.
"Great Britain has many money laundering centers and tax havens in its immediate legal remit -- the Channel Islands Gibraltar, the Cayman Islands, Virgin Islands. These are all hot spots for tax evasion and money laundering," Fekter said in an article for Kurier newspaper.
Austria is opposed to German-led demands for the automatic exchange of information on banking depositors with other EU countries, proposals that will be discussed by Europe's finance ministers.
Fekter described Britain as "the island of the blessed for tax evasion and money laundering," comparing British offshore banking to Cyprus, bludgeoned into accepting EU terms on pain of bankruptcy.
"Just as we urged the abolition of sealed foundations in the Cyprus rescue to drain the money laundering swamp, we must demand the same of the U.K.," Fekter wrote.
"We want a trust registry for the Channel Islands, but also for countries where British law applies, such as the Cayman Islands, the Virgin Islands or Gibraltar. These are all areas that are havens for tax evaders," Fekter said.
Austria aims to agree within weeks to give other EU countries access to foreigners' bank account details, Chancellor Werner Faymann said in a radio interview.
Faymann said he hoped for a deal before a May 22 summit, when EU leaders will discuss ways to claw back about $1 trillion a year in unpaid tax.
"We want to achieve a result for an exchange of data in the interest of fighting fraud in Europe," Faymann said in the interview aired by Austrian broadcaster ORF.
Most European banks are worried the EU measures will trigger a massive flight of capital, including lucrative high-volume deposit business from the Middle East.

Huntsman World Senior Games 2013 – St. George, UT
HUNTSMAN WORLD SENIOR GAMES as it is known today, began in 1987 as the World Senior Games, an international senior sports competition. Founded by Daisy and John H. Morgan, Jr., the Games began with their vision of an international sports event for men and women ages 55 and better. Both agreed that the golden years were better when good health and physical fitness became a way of life, not an occasional hobby.
In 1989 Jon M. Huntsman, Chairman of the Huntsman Corporation, became the Games' principal sponsor after recognizing that the Games not only fostered lifetime fitness, but also expanded Utah's economic vitality. A proud supporter of the Games, the Huntsman family continues to open the Games personally, with a warm welcome to the athletes and the lighting of the torch in traditional Olympic fashion during the Opening Ceremonies.
Since its inception, the Games have been open to all men and women meeting the age requirement. The second year of the Games the age requirement was reduced from age 55 to age 50 to include more athletes and to encourage those looking at retirement to become involved in a personal fitness program or team sport.

Since the beginning of the year, Adobe and Microsoft have been under a bad light since most of the most recent attacks notably exploited the two companies' software vulnerabilities. Adobe Reader and Acrobat, in particular, are currently cybercriminals' favorite targets. When news that Adobe would be releasing an out-of-band security update to prevent an exploitable hole in certain versions of Reader and Acrobat, some raised their brows in question while some rolled their eyes and declared that this was the last straw.
According to Adobe's latest security bulletin, the said critical vulnerability could affect Adobe Reader 9.3 for Macintosh, Windows, and Unix; Adobe Acrobat 9.3 for Macintosh and Windows; and Adobe Reader and Acrobat 8.2 for Macintosh and Windows based on reports from Microsoft and Michael Yong Park. If cybercriminals exploited the said vulnerability, they could make unauthorized cross-domain requests or worse take control of affected systems, similar to the effects of a flaw in Adobe Flash and Adobe AIR Park also spotted days earlier.
According to ZDNet, Adobe insisted that there were no active exploits in the wild targeting the said vulnerability. TrendLabs engineers, on the other hand, have documented a number of noteworthy incidents wherein cybercriminals utilized Adobe Acrobat and Reader vulnerabilities, specifically in the way these software handled JavaScript:
- New Adobe Zero-Day Vulnerability Again
- Unpatched Adobe Vulnerability Is Still Being Exploited in the Wild
- Spam Attack Against the U.S. Defense Department Exploits an Adobe Vulnerability
Users of affected versions of Adobe Reader and Acrobat are strongly advised to download the updates in this security bulletin.
Trend Micro™ Smart Protection Network™ protects users from these kinds of attack by blocking user access to malicious sites and domains via the Web reputation service, by preventing spammed messages containing links to malicious sites from even reaching their inboxes via the email reputation service, and by detecting and consequently deleting malicious exploits from their systems via the file reputation service.
Smart Protection Network™ also protects Trend Micro product users via Trend Micro Smart Surfing for Mac and Trend Micro Security for Mac.

Comedian Stephen Colbert Says Romney Has 'Good Shot' of Winning
Comedy Central's Stephen Colbert said during an interview that Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is on fire and on "a rocket ride to plausible" since he outperformed President Barack Obama in the first presidential debate earlier this month.
Colbert told NBC's David Gregory on "Meet the Press" on Sunday morning Romney is "on a rocket ride to plausible at this point," and that he believes the GOP candidate and Obama would govern differently.
"I'm not Ralph Nader. You know what I mean? I don't think that there's no difference. There is a difference. I don't know what the difference is, though," said the comedian.
Colbert added there is a possibility that Obama would be "a more aggressive reformer or changer in the second act of his presidency. "And I don't really know how – I also don't know how Mitt Romney would govern."
He went on to say that Romney might govern as a technocrat. "You know, that sort of seems to have been his career – as, like, the guy from Pepsi who comes in to run G.M. You know, he can't tell us what he's going to do, because he hasn't seen the books yet."
Romney, Colbert said, "seems absolutely sincere as a moderate, and he also seemed sincere as a severe conservative." And that's not a dig, he insisted. "It's honest confusion, because he has a good shot at winning, and if he does, I hope he's a good president."
Before the first debate on Oct. 3, the Republican candidate "was just a walking, shambling mound of weakness." But now, "that guy is on fire," he said. "Now he's the man, he's got these long, luscious coattails and everybody's jumping on board."
And if Obama wins, Colbert added, "I hope he keeps some of the promises he didn't keep the first time." He repeated there's got to be a difference between the two candidates or "we're all part of a huge cruel joke."
Meanwhile, on the eve of the second of the three presidential debates set for Tuesday at Hofstra University near New York City, the race remains tight nationally.
A new Washington Post-ABC News poll has Obama at 49 percent and Romney at 46 percent among likely voters. However, the latest Gallup daily tracking poll shows Romney ahead of the president with 49 percent support to 47 percent among likely voters.

Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin. Fat-soluble vitamins are stored in the body in the liver and fatty tissues. Unlike the other fat-soluble vitamins, the body actually stores very little vitamin K. This makes regular dietary intake important. Bacteria in the large intestines help by making a range of vitamin K forms called menaquinones. Vitamin K is also produced by plants (phylloquinone) and is primarily found in green vegetables, brussels sprouts, cabbage, and plant oils. The man-made vitamin K found in supplements is called menadione.
Vitamin K's functions include:
- Playing an essential role in the blood-clotting process by making the proteins that stop bleeding
- Helping your body make other proteins essential for blood, bones, and kidneys
Recommended Intake:
Vitamin K Deficiency
If you do not get enough vitamin K, your blood will not clot normally. Among healthy people, a deficiency is rare. Symptoms of vitamin K deficiency include:
- Easy bruising and bleeding—nosebleeds, bleeding gums, blood in the urine, blood in the stool, or extremely heavy menstrual bleeding
- Bleeding in the skull in infants
Vitamin K Toxicity
As a fat-soluble vitamin, vitamin K is stored in the body in small amounts. No tolerable upper intake level (UL)—that is, the highest amount healthy people can consume without endangering their health—has been established for vitamin K. However, excess amounts can cause the breakdown of red blood cells and liver damage. To be safe, you should follow the intake guidelines based on your age and gender
Major Food Sources
Foods that are high in vitamin K include:
- Broccoli
- Brussels sprouts
- Cabbage
- Kale
- Collard greens
- Bib lettuce
- Spinach
- Green pepper
- Canola and soybean oils
- Rhubarb
- Mangos
Health Implications
If You Take a Blood-thinning Drug
If you take a blood-thinning drug (anticoagulant), try to consume the recommended intake of vitamin K. Avoid exceeding this. Taking a vitamin K supplement can change the effectiveness of the drug. Talk to your doctor about your how much vitamin K is safe for you.
If You Take Antibiotics
In addition to killing harmful bacteria, antibiotics also destroy the healthful bacteria that live in the intestines and produce vitamin K. You may need to add more foods rich in vitamin K to your diet. Ask your doctor.
If You Have Liver Disease
The liver plays an important role in metabolism and storage of vitamin K. If you have severe liver disease, you may need to take a vitamin K supplement to avoid complications.
If You Have a Newborn Baby
Because vitamin K deficiency can be life-threatening in infants, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that all newborns receive an injection of phylloquinone, a plant-based vitamin K. This is the standard of care in most hospitals.
Tips For Increasing Your Vitamin K Intake
- Slice an avocado. Add a little balsamic vinegar and pepper, and scoop out for a snack. Or, mash the avocado and mix with chopped tomatoes and red onions for a refreshing salsa.
- Pack a kiwi and spoon in your lunch for an afternoon snack. The insides of the kiwi can be scooped out and eaten from this natural and easy container.
- Steam ½ cup broccoli or Brussels sprouts, add lemon juice (1 tbsp), pre-chopped garlic (1 tsp), and Dijon mustard (1 tbsp). Or add broccoli to your favorite lasagna or hot dish.
- Mix 2 (10-ounce) packages of frozen chopped spinach, thawed, well drained, 1 8-ounce package of softened low-fat cream cheese, ¼ cup milk, and 1 teaspoon lemon pepper until well-blended. Spoon into a 1-quart casserole dish and sprinkle with 1/3 cup crushed crackers or seasoned croutons. Bake at 350°F (177ºC) until thoroughly heated (about 25-30 min.).

Specialized & Primera: An inspiring journey
The early days of Specialized are very inspiring. Mike Sinyard the founder of Specialized sold his much loved VW camper in the 1970's to fund a trip around Europe. On this trip he made contacts which enabled him to distribute Italian bike parts in America. This is essentially how Specialized began. This was Mike's stepping stone to start making his own products under the Specialized name and the first product which was made was in fact a tyre.
On from this Specialized became one of the most innovative brands of their time, from the first production Mountain bike and now onto the most aerodynamic road bikes made so far. All this was driven by Mike's passion for cycling and him wanting the best products for everyone to enjoy.
We have been lucky enough to meet Mike on a few occasions and his passion for cycling is very evident. I was hooked on Specialized since I bought my first Rockhopper mountain bike 1986, this bike got me hooked on riding off road and has produced some great adventures for me and my family.
At Primera we started selling Specialized in 1992 and have had many exciting years selling and riding them, the whole range is excellent from the tyres to the grips.
One area we have always been very impressed with is the customer service they offer and they are market leaders when it comes to offering product back up. Specialized are very much innovators of cycling and they never stand still, product design is done in their own wind tunnel and the results will blow your mind.
Soon after producing some amazing bikes Specialized wanted to kit out the complete cyclist with Specialized clothing, shoes, shorts, mitts, helmets, jerseys, socks soon became available to make your cycling as enjoyable as possible. If you look round one of our shops you will soon see that Specialized cover everything you would need to kit you out for cycling.
Not just wanting to produce generic products Specialized invest in getting things right! They introduced the BG range which stands for 'Body Geometry' This is making sure all contact points are very well catered for enabling greater comfort and lower the risk of irritating pressure points, shorts, shoes, socks, gloves, saddles and footbeds are all designed for greater comfort.
Now once you have decided what bike you would like it's time to find out what size you are and this is one area Primera and Specialized are very passionate about, the correct fit can increase your pleasure and performance by 100%! At Primera we have been using the Retul system for many years and it provides great success and rider feedback is excellent. When Specialized decided it was time to concentrate more on the fitting side they introduced BG Fit which is a very accurate fitting system. Specialized have now bought Retul so they now have the two best fitting options in the world and you can buy your new bike very confident it's going to put a smile on your face.
The company has been built on giving customers the very best service possible. I think this is because Mike is still running Specialized and he still loves riding his bikes.

Today—Tuesday, February 11th, 2014—is the day the people across the world are "fighting back" against mass, unwarranted surveillance.
With an online campaign designed to galvanize supporters of privacy and the open internet against the troublesome trend of government spying, more than 600 hundred organizations from around the globe—including Access, Demand Progress, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Fight for the Future, Free Press, BoingBoing, Reddit, Mozilla, ThoughtWorks, and others—are participating by posting banners on their websites and urging their members to endorse a set of 13 Principles for privacy protections.
"Surveillance can and does threaten human rights. Even laws intended to protect national security or combat crime will inevitably lead to abuse if left unchecked and kept secret." —Katitza Rodriguez, Electronic Frontier Foundation
According to the campaign's website, the day of activism, in addition to championing the broader goal of internet freedom, is meant to commemorate the tragic passing of activist and technologist Aaron Swartz. "The protest is both in his honor and in celebration of the victory over the Stop Online Piracy Act two years ago this month, which he helped spur," said organizers.
David Segal, executive director of Demand Progress, which he co-founded with Swartz, said: "Today the greatest threat to a free Internet, and broader free society, is the National Security Agency's mass spying regime. If Aaron were alive he'd be on the front lines, fighting back against these practices that undermine our ability to engage with each other as genuinely free human beings."
Those participating in the campaign are demanding an end to the kind of mass surveillance exemplified by the NSA programs revealed in more than eight months of reporting based on documents leaked by whistleblower Edward Snowden.
Condensed, those 13 'Necessary and Proportionate Principles' around which people are gathering make clear that:
- States must recognize that mass surveillance threatens the human right to privacy, as welll as freedom of expression and association, and they must place these Principles at the heart of communications surveillance legal frameworks.
- States must commit to ensuring that advances in technology do not lead to disproportionate increases in the State's capacity to interfere with the private lives of individuals.
- Transparency and rigorous adversarial oversight is needed to ensure changes in surveillance activities benefit from public debate and judicial scrutiny; this includes effective protections for whistleblowers.
- Just as modern surveillance transcends borders, so must privacy protections.
According to Katitza Rodriguez at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, one of the lead groups organizing the campaign, the 'Day We Fight Back' hopes to show that NSA-style spying is a universal assault on the people and democracy that goes beyond the simple invasion of privacy.
"Surveillance can and does threaten human rights," says Rodriguez. "Even laws intended to protect national security or combat crime will inevitably lead to abuse if left unchecked and kept secret."
Danny O'Brien, EFF's international director, adds: "This isn't just a battle for reining back the NSA, or GCHQ, or any other intelligence agency. This is about drawing a line in the sand. If you create a secret apparatus that has carte blanche to collect data on every innocent user of the Net, you create an apparatus that can control politicians, detect and silence dissent, and dismantle any democratic check or balance. Mass surveillance is poison to the modern open society. We need to fight back, and we need to win."
And Rainey Reitman, a third EFF staff member who directs the group's activism, appeared on Democracy Now! to discuss the digital protest:
All over the world, actions are taking place and campaigners are joining forceswith a common cause.
On Twitter, people all over the world are using the #StoptheNSA hashtag:
The campaigners also released this video:

Narwhals — the unicorns of the sea — show a weird fear response after being entangled in nets. Scientists say this unusual reaction to human-induced stress might restrict blood flow to the brain and leave the whales addled.
The narwhals swim hard and dive deep to escape after being released from a net, but at the same time their heart rates dramatically plummet, according to a newly published report in Science. It's almost like they are simultaneously trying to freeze and flee.
"This is an unusual reaction to an unusual kind of threat," says Terrie Williams, a researcher at the University of California, Santa Cruz. "I don't believe that this is the normal response when the animals are being pursued by a killer whale."
Male narwhals have a distinctive long, spiral tusk, and these elusive creatures live way up north in the Arctic. They aren't easy to study, as they live much of their lives surrounded by darkness and ice. But scientists sometimes monitor their movements by catching them with nets and tagging them in the summertime, when the whales are more accessible.
Williams and her colleagues recently traveled to waters off the east coast of Greenland to outfit narwhals with technology that lets researchers monitor the marine mammals' heart rates, swimming movements and other data.
"This is the first time that there's been a long-term record on an EKG for a wild cetacean," says Williams, who has used similar monitors on dolphins and seals. "I don't know that there's anything quite like it."
In the first dives after the narwhals were released from nets, she says, their heart rates dropped from 60 beats a minute to three or four beats a minute. This lasted for 10 minutes or so.
"And I'd never seen that in any animal that I've ever recorded a heart rate for," she says. "So that was the first clue that we were looking at something very different here."
What's more, the whales were swimming rapidly during this time. "They were exercising as fast as a narwhal exercises," Williams says. "They were swimming constantly. They're trying to do a flight response superimposed on a down-regulation-type freeze response. And I hadn't seen that before."
It makes her wonder how the whales can possibly get enough oxygen to their brains. And she also wonders if this might have any relevance to mysterious beachings of other deep-diving whales.
Kristin Laidre, a research scientist at the Polar Science Center at the University of Washington who has studied narwhals, says this is "a really interesting paper that provides a new physiological angle on the vulnerability of narwhals to anthropogenic disturbance in the Arctic."
The loss of sea ice in the Arctic, Laidre notes, means big changes in the ecosystem, plus a sudden interest in more industrial development, resource extraction and new shipping routes. "All of those things mean disturbance for narwhals," she says. "To my knowledge, this is really the first time we have quantified physiological disturbance effects on narwhals. So it's really important data."
Because narwhals have lived a life far north, surrounded by dense sea ice, they have been relatively insulated from human activity. "Any kind of disturbance," Laidre says, "is going to be a pretty new, potentially very disruptive thing for a species that's existed in an environment like that for so long."
It's Friday. And we all need some wonder in our lives. So let's talk about narwhals, shall we? What's a narwhal, you ask? They are whales with a long, spiral tusk, which makes them the unicorns of the sea. These elusive creatures live in the far north in an icy world. But it turns out narwhals are not cool under stress. Here's NPR's Nell Greenfieldboyce.
NELL GREENFIELDBOYCE, BYLINE: When a colleague contacted Terrie Williams about doing a study of narwhals...
TERRIE WILLIAMS: I said yes 'cause they're cool (laughter), you know? And I didn't know at all what I was getting into at that point.
GREENFIELDBOYCE: Williams is at the University of California, Santa Cruz. She's investigated how dolphins and seals swim and dive by putting wearable monitors on the animals. She was intrigued by the idea of trying it with a deep-diving whale that can go down more than a mile.
GREENFIELDBOYCE: This is the sound of narwhals off the east coast of Greenland. That's where Williams joined scientists who were netting narwhals in shallow water to tag them. While the narwhals got tagged...
WILLIAMS: We were able to suction-cup electrodes on for the EKG, suction-cup our instrumentation on and have them swim with them anywhere from one day to four days at a time and collect thousands of dives.
GREENFIELDBOYCE: She was surprised to see that the dives that happened immediately after the narwhals were released from the net looked weird. The animal's heart rates plummeted, going from about 60 beats a minute...
GREENFIELDBOYCE: ...To only three or four beats a minute. But at the same time, these narwhals were swimming away as fast as they could. Williams had never seen anything like it.
WILLIAMS: This is an unusual reaction to an unusual kind of threat.
GREENFIELDBOYCE: She says their heart rate suggested a freeze reaction to fear, even as they tried to flee. Her team's findings appear in the journal Science. Kristin Laidre is a narwhal researcher at the University of Washington. She says narwhals have long lived isolated from people in a distant, icy, often dark environment. So changes can have a big impact.
KRISTIN LAIDRE: So I think these data support that - you know, that this species is not used to any kind of disturbance. And it is definitely a physiological stressor for them.
GREENFIELDBOYCE: She says as the Arctic ice melts, there's more interest in oil and gas drilling and new shipping routes. So scientists need to understand how the narwhals might react. Nell Greenfieldboyce, NPR News.

IT REALLY DOESN'T MATTER: Honest, it doesn't. You can have an adventurous palate and a wish to taste every whimsical dish known to humankind, but you'll never, in your travels, come across a term that's as delightful as shucker, or any of the shuck-ian words that have to do with the act of opening an oyster. The only word that comes close to shucking, for charm and pure appeal, is "slurping," and that, too, is related to mollusk enjoyment. In short? Oysters have it in the lively language department, a department many less exciting foodstuffs on dream of visiting. (Sorry edibles that are merely sliced or spooned; you really need to talk to your public relations staff.) So when the Central Coast Oyster & Music Festival says that some "4,000 shuckers and jivers" show for its annual Avila Beach hoedown, well, that just sounds like a party in the making. There's a full-day music festival to boot, in addition to the enjoyment of oceanic foods, so count on sand, salty breezes, briny bites, local beers, local wines, tunes, and the conviviality of La Vida Central Coast. Everything on that line-up is a mood-improver on its own, but together? Yeah, shucking sweetness awaits.
DETAILS AND TO-KNOWS: Morro Bay Oyster Co. Pacific Gold Oysters are the "main cuisine of the event," so, yep, the oysters come from the area. (It's a bummer when oysters have to pack little suitcases and fly from faraway for a big local festival.) If you aren't into slurpy supping, other eats'll be on the grounds, but if you are, you are in luck. Or shuck? Yes, you are in shuck. There's also a shucking contest, too, which will be quite the fast-fingers challenge (the words "prying prowess" spring to mind). And art installations? Another part of the day. And that day is Saturday, June 7. That's a good way to close down late spring and welcome the rest of summer. Question: Early June isn't technically summer, we know, but when oysters and bands and the beach are in the mix, isn't it kind of honorary summer? That's what we're sticking by.

Why attend
- Aims of the event
The main aim of these joint meetings is to present important areas of life science research in a manner accessible to all, and to promote reflection on their implications. At the same time, they should facilitate a broad dialogue between biologists, behavioral and social scientists, students of all disciplines, and members of the public.
- Topics
- Food, Science and Human Variation
- The Nature and Nurture of Food Preferences
- Food and The Metabolic Environment
- Food, Health and Disease
- Summary
The focus of this meeting will be on the impact food has on our body and mind, both from the long-term evolutionary perspective and from the perspective of everyday life. The conference programme will highlight the biological and cultural processes through which food both defines us and transforms us. Metaphorically, as well as literally, in what sense are we what we eat?
Humans are the only species that cook their food and this unique trait coincided with the evolutionary emergence of our earliest ancestors about two million years ago. Scientists argue that cooking must have had a profound effect on our evolution because it increased food efficiency, which allowed human ancestors to spend less time foraging, chewing, and digesting. Then, as humans spread to every corner of the planet, the availability of diverse food sources caused groups of humans to adapt differently to different environments, and this may have left its mark on their genomes.
This raises some fascinating questions: How have diets of people in different parts of the world shaped human physiology? How do we acquire our sense of taste and smell? What are the underpinnings of our ability to taste and distinguish so many different flavours? Do genetic differences predispose individuals to perceive the taste of foods differently? How does the sociocultural environment into which we happen to be born, and within which we are raised, shape our food preferences and perception? Are our eating habits imprinted on our faculties of perception?
Often eating (or not eating) gives rise to health problems. While the world's food supplies are considered to be plentiful, the World Health Organization cites pervasive malnutrition as the greatest single threat to public health. At the same time, in the more affluent parts of the world, public health and human wellbeing are being compromised by excessive food consumption and successive food scandals. How can we address global food inequality, and what can be done to curb the obesity epidemic?
What is the relationship between the food we eat and the microorganisms we carry within us? What is known about food and health across cultures? Have gene pools of populations around the world been affected by the nature of their diets? Why does the genetic make-up of some people make them particularly vulnerable to certain foods - reactions that range from addictive responses to allergic reactions?
These are some of the questions that will be the focus of our 15th EMBL/EMBO Science and Society conference in Heidelberg.
Who Should Attend
- Everyone is welcome to attend.

There is no mystery about a Girard-Perregaux,
To celebrate the 2019 edition of the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie de Genève (SIHH), Girard-Perregaux unveils new and stunning creations, heirs of the icons on which the Manufacture has built its reputation over the centuries.
Heritage and duty
Girard-Perregaux's oldest roots lie in the work of Jean-Fran?ois Bautte, the Geneva watchmaker-jeweller who presented his first creations in 1791 and whose succession was acquired in 1906 by Girard-Perregaux, born in 1856 from the union of Constant Girard and Marie Perregaux.

The game was a fundraiser for the association and a way to honor many of the surviving members of the old Negro Baseball League which flourished during the
1930's and 40's, but ended in the early 1960's after the Dodgers' Jackie Robinson broke the baseball color line in 1947.
A group of recently retired Major League players including Darryl Miller, Dave Henderson, Vince Coleman, Lenny Randle, Kevin Bass, Glenn Braggs, Pedro
Guererro, Mariano Duncan and Darryl Thomas, put on vintage style uniforms and played on the two teams named the Los Angeles Black Sox and Houston Black Jax.
"To come out here and represent the Negro Leagues and show them how much we care means a lot to me," said Thomas, who played for both the Dodgers and Padres during his career. "Somebody had to pave the way and I'm sure they feel proud of
themselves and how hard they worked in order for us to get these opportunities and I know a lot of the younger plays don't understand exactly what these
players went through and now they'll get a chance to see some of the old Negro League players and understand just how hard they worked and how well they did play."
It was fitting that the game be held at Dodger Stadium, for the Dodgers were in first in the modern era to integrate Major League baseball.
"The main thing was getting an organization that really cared about what happened," said former Astro and Dodger Enos Cabell, who was also responsible
for gathering up many of the players to take part in the event. "The Dodgers had a total history of it and coming to L.A. was a must in my opinion, because the Dodgers changed the way that baseball was thought of because of Branch Rickey and bringing 36 former players to play in this stadium meant a lot."
Getting the players out for the event was absolutely no problem.
"For me, since I got the call for the Hall of Fame I haven't had to rest up and I've been traveling a lot," said Ozzie Smith, who will be inducted into the Hall Of Fame this summer. " I had to squeeze this event into my schedule because
I knew the importance of an event like this and my being at this event. Unfortunately I can't play today, but being here and seeing the former Negro
Leaguers and saying hi to guys you played with and against is always a great
In the end Los Angeles defeated Houston in a tightly contested battle, 4-3, with Glenn Braggs hitting a solo home run. But the game itself really didn't matter. Old players, who played in a league that vanished more than 40 years ago, were able to get a chance to walk on a baseball diamond one last time and hear the overdue ovation from the loving crowd.

News last week from the evolution front:
**red_square**In New Mexico, the Senate Education Committee approved a bill mandating adoption of the science curriculum standards of the National Academy of Sciences, which include a dogmatic treatment of evolution. Arguing against the bill, John Baumgardner, a Los Alamos National Laboratory geophysicist, told the committee that "biologists have not a clue about how genesis occurred."
**red_square**In Virginia, a local American Family Association leader demanded that school officials disavow language used in a biology textbook comparing divine creation with astrology, fad diets, and other forms of "pseudoscience."
**red_square**Across the country, newspaper headlines reported that an asteroid 6-12 miles wide hit the earth 65 million years ago, killing two-thirds of the species then in existence. An Associated Press article concluded, "Among the survivors, scientists believe, were small mammals that--over millions of years--evolved into many new species, including humans."
**red_square**Over the past year, the evolution controversy has intensified across the nation. Colorado high-school student Danny Phillips's battle is typical: When he watched a classroom video that attributed the origin of life to "random molecules in the atmosphere," he argued that the showing of the video, with its evolutionary assertion, violated local school policy requiring teachers to present evolution as theory, not fact. A school committee initially agreed. But, under ACLU pressure, the school board ruled for the video. That battle continues.
**red_square**And there's other news: Science magazine warned that creationists are coming back armed with a "shrewd new strategy." The new strategy centers on a concept labeled intelligent design. The design movement shows promise of winning a place at the table in secular academia, while uniting Christians concerned about the role science plays in the current culture wars.
Short, freckled, with round face and crinkly eyes, Phillip E. Johnson of the Berkeley law school is an unlikely looking revolutionary. Yet he is the acknowledged leader of an intelligent design movement that combines classic critiques of evolutionary theory with a fresh, innovative approach. The key, Mr. Johnson told WORLD, is not to defend a prepared position so much as to promote critical-thinking skills.
As a law professor, Mr. Johnson's focus is on the logic and rhetoric used in support of Darwinism. Scientists build a case exactly as lawyers do in the courtroom, using the same strategies of persuasion. For example, Mr. Johnson points out, "Darwinists benefit from equivocating between two meanings of the term evolution." Sometimes the word refers simply to minor changes in the living world--an observable fact that no one questions. But at other times it means that all life developed through completely natural causes--a philosophical speculation that is highly questionable. In Mr. Johnson's words, "Darwinists play a shell game by getting you to assent to the trivial definition of evolution, and then suggesting that it compels you to accept a comprehensive philosophy of naturalism."
Another common trick of persuasion is the selective use of evidence. The facts adduced in favor of Darwinism are decidedly meager: minor adaptations in the color of moths, the shape of finch beaks, or the wings of fruit flies. Such examples represent modifications of existing structures; they leave unanswered the burning question: How does nature create complex structures in the first place? For the Darwinian true believer, Mr. Johnson says, what bridges the gap is naturalistic philosophy. "If naturalism is true--if nature is all that exists--then something very much like Darwinism has to be true, no matter what the state of the evidence." His devastating conclusion: "Darwinism is not so much an inference from the facts as a deduction from naturalistic philosophy."
Mr. Johnson argues his case in two books, Darwin on Trial and Reason in the Balance. The flair and sophistication of his presentation has won a hearing for the design paradigm in high-level academic circles. Of course, some establishment scientists dismiss Mr. Johnson as a lawyer who has overstepped his bounds--who just "doesn't understand how science works." Yet he has been invited to speak at state and private universities across the country, and his engaging wit has earned him warm friendships among many of the scientists who are his intellectual foes.
For example, when young Danny Phillips protested the classroom video, he politely offered an alternative called "Darwinism: Science or Naturalistic Philosophy?" featuring Mr. Johnson in a Stanford University debate with Cornell biologist William Provine (available from the Access Research Network, www.arn.org/arn). What's more, Mr. Provine makes a point of letting the audience know that he and Mr. Johnson are friends--that after the debate they will go out for dinner and have a beer together.
The design movement offers more than new and improved critiques of evolutionary theory, however. Its goal is to show that intelligent design also functions as a positive research program. That task has been taken up by Michael Behe of Lehigh University. In Darwin's Black Box: The Biochemical Challenge to Evolution, Mr. Behe introduces the concept of "irreducible complexity." At the bedrock of life, in the microscopic world of the cell, we find molecular machines consisting of interrelated parts, all of which are necessary for the machines to work. Such structures cannot have emerged gradually by any conceivable Darwinian process.
With his thick glasses and infectious smile, Mr. Behe has an aw-shucks air about him, reinforced by the casual tone of his trademark plaid shirt and dungarees. He is Irish Catholic, has several children, and illuminates his arguments with homey analogies. His favorite example of irreducible complexity is a mousetrap: You can't take part of a mousetrap--say, the wooden base--and catch a few mice, then add a spring and catch a few more, and so on. You need the complete contraption from the start to catch even one mouse.
The same is true of the molecular structures that carry on the business of life. They consist of co-adapted, mutually dependent parts that must co-exist from the start. Such irreducible complexity, Mr. Behe argues, is evidence of intelligence. The book's impeccably argued case has won respectful reviews in Nature, The New York Times, The Chronicle of Higher Education, and WORLD (Oct. 12, 1996). The Boston Review, published by MIT, recently ran several reviews of Mr. Behe's book, and an upcoming issue will feature a symposium with Mr. Behe and Mr. Johnson as participants. The design argument is proving that it can secure a beachhead in the hostile world of secular academia.
The design movement had its birth in the early 1970s, in a tiny French-speaking village perched on the snowy peaks of the Swiss Alps. At Francis Schaeffer's ministry "L'Abri," Charles Thaxton, fresh from a doctoral program in chemistry, wrestled with the implications of his faith. Did life begin in a chemical soup? "Criticisms of origin-of-life theories were showing up in the scientific literature," Mr. Thaxton recalls. "But I kept thinking of the verse, 'Overcome evil with good.' I felt Christians should offer a positive alternative." That alternative was intelligent design.
Mr. Thaxton left L'Abri and formalized his ideas in The Mystery of Life's Origin, co-authored with Walter Bradley and Roger Olsen. The book's theme is that DNA is essentially intelligence encoded in a biological structure, which implies that it was created by an intelligent agent. This is a conclusion based not on religious faith but on ordinary experience: Whenever we see a message--whether written on paper, flashing on the computer screen, or scratched in the sand--we invariably assume that it was written by an intelligent agent.
"The idea of intelligent causes is just as scientific as the idea of natural causes," argues Mr. Thaxton, who now teaches at Charles University in Prague. "In both cases, we draw our evidence from experience." What kind of experience? "In ordinary life we distinguish natural from intelligent causes all the time--when police officers determine whether a person died of natural causes or was murdered, when archaeologists decide whether a chipped rock is just a rock or a paleolithic tool. Why can't we use the same reasoning in natural science?"
With its devastating critique of origin-of-life theories, Mystery was reviewed in top professional journals such as the Yale Journal of Biology, and it is still used in graduate schools across the nation for its sheer scientific cogency. Another important impetus for the design movement was the crushing critique of neo- Darwinism offered in Evolution: A Theory in Crisis, written by then-agnostic Michael Denton. Today's resurgence of controversies in education was fueled partly by a high school biology supplement, Of Pandas and People, published by the Foundation for Thought and Ethics in Richardson, Texas. About 15,000 books have been sold for use in public schools.
But a movement requires more than good ideas, and the glue holding the design movement together is largely the organizing energy of Phillip Johnson. He has worked tirelessly to institutionalize the design paradigm, crafting it as the "big tent" for the evangelical world. He maintains lively e-mail conversations with a wide range of scientists, philosophers, and journalists. He worked behind the scenes to establish a fellowship program at the Discovery Institute's Center for the Renewal of Science and Culture in Seattle, to found a new professional journal (Origins and Design), and to organize a series of conferences, the first held last fall at Biola University (see WORLD, Nov. 30/Dec. 7, 1996).
Mr. Johnson's goal is to break the deadlock between creationists and theistic evolutionists. "If you set out to promote a particular, detailed position, you end up becoming defensive, fragmented, and fighting each other," Mr. Johnson said. "Design is not a position, it's a metaphysical platform that creates space for rational discussion." John Mark Reynolds, professor of philosophy at Biola, portrays design as the common ground uniting all Christians, and the counterpart in science to C.S. Lewis's notion of "mere Christianity." Trading on that phrase, the Biola conference was titled "Mere Creation." The design paradigm shows potential for becoming the central organizing point for debate about origins among a wide range of Christians.
Design theory is also redefining the public-school debate. At issue is not the details of evolution versus the details of Genesis; it's the stark, fundamental claim that life is the product of impersonal forces over against the claim that it is the creation of an intelligent agent.
Consider these quotations: "You are an animal, and share a common heritage with earthworms... ," proclaims the Holt, Rinehart, and Winston textbook Biology: Visualizing Life. "Evolution is random and undirected ... without either plan or purpose," declares Prentice Hall's Biology. American public schools are supposed to be neutral with regard to religion, but these statements are clearly antagonistic to all theistic religions. They go far beyond any empirical evidence and are more philosophical than scientific. In the words of John Wiester, chairman of the Science Education Commission of the American Scientific Affiliation, "Darwinism is naturalistic philosophy masquerading as science."
If Mr. Johnson is the organizing mind of the design movement, Mr. Wiester is its heart. With his broad face and intense smile, Mr. Wiester radiates warmth. He teaches in the biology department of Westmont College while operating a cattle ranch. He's likely to sign e-mail notes saying, "I'm off to de-horn steers today."
Mr. Wiester sinks his teeth like a bulldog into a recent statement by the National Association of Biology Teachers, which asserts that all life arose by an "unsupervised, impersonal, unpredictable, and natural process." This is nothing less than "Darwinian fundamentalism," Mr. Wiester declares. Does that mean schools should teach creation? "Our goal is not to teach creation," Mr. Wiester explains, "it's to teach science honestly: to teach not only the confirming examples but the disconfirming examples, the anomalies and unsolved questions of evolution."
Take, for example, the Cambrian "explosion," when all the major blueprints for life burst into existence. Darwinism assumes that major divides in the living world emerged over time through minor differentiation. But the Cambrian fossils show precisely the opposite pattern: The major patterns of life appear in a shotgun blast of radically different forms, and only then begin to diversify. Such negative evidence rarely appears in public-school textbooks.
In Alabama, Norris Anderson spearheaded a successful campaign to paste an insert on the inside front cover of biology textbooks listing some of the anomalies and ambiguities in evolutionary theory. In Education or Indoctrination?, Mr. Anderson has collected examples of dogmatic presentations of Darwinism: "Darwin gave biology a sound scientific basis by attributing the diversity of life to natural causes rather than supernatural creation" (Addison-Wesley's Biology). "Today, the evidence for evolution is overwhelming.... Evolution is no longer merely a theory" (Holt, Rinehart, and Winston's Biology). The same textbook takes a preemptive strike against troublesome critics: "There have always been those who resisted the appeal of evolution and every now and then declare 'Darwin was wrong,' in the hope of some profitable publicity, usually revealing that they do not understand Darwinism."
Ironically, Mr. Anderson understands Darwinism better than most. Formerly a textbook writer, he helped to prepare the infamous BSCS series (Biological Sciences Curriculum Study), which inaugurated the current dogmatic approach to teaching evolution. "I was practically an evangelist for evolution," Mr. Anderson says wryly. His turnabout was sparked when a colleague told him baldly, "Don't get me wrong, I believe human evolution happened, but there's absolutely no evidence for it." Mr. Anderson suggested that the textbooks be rewritten to reflect the real state of the evidence, but his proposal was vehemently rejected. "That's when my idealism began to crumble," Mr. Anderson says. "I saw that scientists close ranks to present a false image of scientific certainty."
What gives the Darwin debate such gravity, of course, is that much more than science is involved. In the Stanford debate, Mr. Provine outlines unflinchingly what Darwinism means for human values. To make sure no one misses it, he flashes a list on an overhead projector: Consistent Darwinism implies: "No life after death; No ultimate foundation for ethics; No ultimate meaning for life; No free will." The only reason for insisting on free will, Mr. Provine adds, is a cruel desire to blame people for their actions and lock them up.
In a dramatic rebuttal, captured on the video, a young man from the audience challenged Mr. Provine, saying, "My background is murder and rape. I once thought that was okay, because who cared about life?" But now, he went on, he had come to realize that "life does matter" and "there are absolutes." The man's words were a stunning reminder that the origins debate is not merely academic; it involves the most fundamental principles by which people live and die.
The Darwinist establishment benefits enormously from portraying the origins debate as a tempest in a teapot, driven by a small, marginalized group of Bible-thumpers. But the public knows intuitively that at stake are the great questions of human existence. The influential Jewish journal Commentary recently published a masterful critique of Darwinism by mathematician and novelist David Berlinski. Reader response was so overwhelming that a later issue devoted nearly 50 pages to letters. The origins debate is clearly entering the mainstream.
"The fundamental and most far-reaching assumption of Darwinism is that life is the product of forces that are impersonal and purposeless--that life is a cosmic accident," Mr. Johnson explains. "This is a philosophy that strikes most Americans as false, not just fundamentalists. If Christians frame the debate that way, we can't be marginalized."

01.21.09 Fast BreaksPosted by nvr1983 on January 21st, 2009
We have a pretty nice set of links for you today.
- Thayer Evans and Pete Thamel of the New York Times with a great piece about the influence of Skip Prosser on the current Wake Forest team. Many people don't realize that Prosser was actually the architect of this team as he recruited all of the current players. However, a great deal of credit has to go to Dino Gaudio for keeping the team together after Prosser's death in 2007. I'm guessing this will become a bigger story if Wake Forest can stay near the top of the polls late into the season.
- We have touched on the APR issue before, but now it looks like the NCAA is looking at extending APR ratings to include coaches. I am not sure if this is necessary since coaches rarely switch schools over short periods of time and I have a feeling the methodology will be questioned on how a student-athlete's academic performance at a school will affect a coach's APR after the coach has left that school.
- Arkansas freshman forward Brandon Moore has been suspended indefinitely on DUI charges. I'm not naive enough to believe that underage college students won't drink, but getting a DUI while being underage. . .
- Another story out of the SEC as Alabama's Ronald Steele has decided to forgo the remainder of his senior season citing ongoing injury issues. It is a sad end to what was a promising career. I still remember some of the hype coming out of the South about this explosive guard. We wish Ronald the best and hope he at least got a good education at Alabama.
- Pete Thamel with an interesting piece on Arinze Onuaku, who will likely be the key to Syracuse's chances of making a run deep into the tournament in March.
- An interesting account of Bill Self's recent interaction with John Wall, the #1 recruit in the nation. I'm amazed that Self could be this reckless, but to be honest this seems like a rather minor infraction compared to other stuff that goes on.
- Seth Davis with his take on NCAA's policy regarding the length of time a player has to enter the NBA Draft and come back to college.
- A depressing article about former West Virginia star Kevin Pittsnoggle. I'm sure there are several NBA teams who could use a big man who can shoot.
- Vegas Watch with a mid-season look at the best odds for his top 10 title contenders and the odds he would take them at. Although it is not as exact (calculating the likelihood they would win each round based on their expected seed) as some of his other work, it is still an interesting read.

Hundley working hard despite limited playing time
SAN DIEGO -- The season is barely three weeks old, yet it has become evident that on a team with three catchers, Nick Hundley is the odd-man out.
Does Hundley, who has played in eight of the team's first 17 games, feel that his days in San Diego are numbered?
"It's a fair question," Hundley said before Saturday's game against the Giants. "Going into the season, this isn't the way I thought it would shake-out. It's not the ideal situation."
San Diego general manager Josh Byrnes has previously stated that he didn't think the team would carry three catchers all season. And with outfielders Carlos Quentin and Cameron Maybin set to come off the disabled list in the next month, if not sooner, dropping or trading a catcher would seem logical.
"When we get to a point where [Cameron] Maybin and [Carlos] Quentin are ready to come off the DL, then we'll have to decide what to do. That's a spot we'll have to take a look at," Byrnes said.
Hundley, a second-round pick in 2005 out of the University of Arizona, has a deeper history with manager Bud Black than anyone in the clubhouse other than Chase Headley.
Hundley, who has four hits in 15 at-bats this season, has appeared in the fourth-most games in franchise history at catcher (457) since breaking into the big leagues in 2008.
Yasmani Grandal, who is hitting .355, is the team's primary starting catcher, even though he's not yet to the point where he's caught consecutive games after coming off knee surgery last August.
Rene Rivera, who has a strong reputation among the Padres' pitchers, is getting most of the reps as the backup catcher.
As for Hundley, who is making $4 million this season in the final year of a three-year contract he signed in 2012, he's trying to spend his time working on his framing skills and trying to keep his swing current with a lot of early work.
"The only thing I can control is my game. I feel my game is sharp, I've never caught better, I feel like I've never swung the bat better," he said.
Hundley has worked with assistant general manager A.J. Hinch on receiving the ball in a better fashion. He's worked with hitting coach Phil Plantier on keeping his swing mechanics as well.
If the team is indeed trying to shop him, he's not concerned about it.
"I can't look that far ahead," he said.

Striker Luis Suarez is set to start his first Europa League match away from home for Liverpool in their final Group A fixture against Udinese.
The Uruguay international is suspended for Sunday's trip to West Ham, which means there is no need to rest him, so will lead the line as the team looks to secure qualification for the last 32 but captain Steven Gerrard has been left behind due to illness.
Other senior first-team players who have travelled include goalkeeper Jose Reina, defenders Glen Johnson and Martin Skrtel and forwards Raheem Sterling and Suso.
Provisional squad: Reina, Jones, Johnson, Enrique, Sahin, Suarez, Cole, Assaidi, Henderson, Coates, Downing, Carragher, Allen, Suso, Sterling, Shelvey, Coady, Skrtel, Wisdom.
