Use of Genome-Scale Metabolic Models in Evolutionary Systems Biology
One of the major aims of the nascent field of evolutionary systems biology is to test evolutionary hypotheses that are not only realistic from a population genetic point of view but also detailed in terms of molecular biology mechanisms. By providing a mapping between genotype and phenotype for hundreds of genes, genome-scale systems biology models of metabolic networks have already provided valuable insights into the evolution of metabolic gene contents and phenotypes of yeast and other microbial species. Here we review the recent use of these computational models to predict the fitness effect of mutations, genetic interactions, evolutionary outcomes, and to decipher the mechanisms of mutational robustness. While these studies have demonstrated that even simplified models of biochemical reaction networks can be highly informative for evolutionary analyses, they have also revealed the weakness of this modeling framework to quantitatively predict mutational effects, a challenge that needs to be addressed for future progress in evolutionary systems biology.

what we call "words,"
a lot of language,
each syllable made of air.
Then there was
s i l e n c e,
no talk at all,
no more syllables
shaped by living tongues
out of wandering air.
Thus all tongues
slowly talk themsleves
into s i l e n c e.
Last night, Akdang_Bayan (A_B) held its first sA_Bat, that is, the first in a series of discussions that aim to equip its members with the basics. These fundamentals cover an introduction to issues and opportunities in literature and language; the critical triad: class, gender, and race; globalization; the tri-media: film, radio, and print; the new media: digital arts and internet; the marketing of literary products; and other cultural venues.
It began at quarter to four in the Tree House of UP Diliman. Our resource person was Arnold Azurin, a political anthropologist. He wrote Reinventing The Filipino's Sense of Being and Becoming. We discussed the matter of language and its role in nation-building. Several roadblocks were identified. Primary of these was the Tagalog self-conceit that held the national language through the policies that perpetuate and mobilize. The scholarship and literature of the Tagalog writers of Azurin's generation did not have the breadth to encompass the nation. Instead of envisioning the nation through its interregional linkages, the nation was seen only in the wake of the Tagalog's struggle with the colonizers. Now, even freed of the foreign proponents of the Hispanizing drive that built UST and the Americanizng drive that built UP, the educational system still weaves a nation based on an assumption of inferiority of the Filipino vis-a-vis white scholarship and the rest of other Filipino thought-systems and literature to the Tagalog scholarship that studied and expressed only itself as the basis of the nation.
What is the challenge to the writer engaged in nation-building? Write what you know. But move beyond the Tagalog-based linguistic horizon. Know beyond the comfort zones!
There were many points raised. With these, many names were bashed (guess who's on top of the list). We have not yet collated the feedback, but I personally consider it a success. The assumptions A_B members regarding language and its dynamic with literature were provoked sufficiently to raise a number of questions and challenges.
We have long identified this inward spiral that now sucks in the national resources to a coterie promoting their Tagalog. I believe a new attitude and action is rising, the old elements of freethought, yes, but mixed and moving in a different course. The openness is promising. My fear? That this same involution shall infect us. The fact that these machinations have been recognized and vilified at the outset assuages me.
Bienvenido Lumbera is set for a survey of Philippine Literature on the first week of December. My dear hope is that I can get some of my Los Banos students to attend this one.

Phantom damages in cases involving medical billing could be seriously challenged in Florida's next legislative session. | Author-DXR; Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 International license.
TALLAHASSEE -- Legislation in the upcoming Florida legislative session could provide a clampdown on "phantom" damages in court cases.
Florida state Rep. Thomas Leek (R-Ormond Beach) introduced HB 17 earlier this year to remedy issues pertaining to phantom damages in lawsuits, but the measure failed to advance. Leek said it is difficult to gauge how much of a priority phantom damages will be in the next legislative session but believes it it will be addressed.
“I would say that you’re more than likely to see the phantom damages or what we call ‘truth in damages,’ ‘accuracy damages’ is another name for it,” he said. “You’re likely to see that come up this year but probably in a different form…the overall package that we’ll put together may take all kinds of different forms and shapes.”
A white paper by Victor E. Schwartz and Cary Silverman of Shook, Hardy & Bacon LLP stated that phantom damages, or “truth in damages,” are pervasive in Florida where the cost of hospital health care is extremely high.
“To its credit, Florida law restricts recovery of phantom damages but it does so in an inconsistent manner that continues to allow windfalls to plaintiffs in some circumstances,” Schwartz and Silverman wrote in the paper.
Leek’s bill seeks to change the inconsistencies.
“I think there will be opportunities for tort reform, in general, this year,” he said. “The precise nature in which we bring those issues back is not certain but we’re getting there.”
Leek thinks if the governor [Ron DeSantis] its success will be more probable.
“I always think that’s a good sign when you want to pass any legislation,” Leek said. “If the governor has an interest in it and the court … has an interest in following the laws passed by the legislature then it’s always a good sign.”

Since childhood, I have been to the pink city a number of times but the kind of the experience I had in the recent trip was simply unmatchable.
As I had three days to stay in Jaipur, started my trip on the first day by visiting the monument that is the hallmark of the city Hawa Mahal of Jaipur.
Hawa Mahal – JaipurHawa Mahal in gorgeous lighting. Photo by: The Wandering Angel.
Beautiful wall with amazing windows but it is on a very busy road, too noisy to stand and see. Although it is not conserved properly but it is the iconic emblem of the pink city and worth a quick visit. After seeing the monument of Hawa Mahal, I went to see the famous observatory Jantar Mantar.
Jantar Mantar – Jaipur
The astronomical instruments are amazing and what are more amazing is how long ago this was constructed. It portrays the intellect of Sawai Raja Jai Singh who established it. It is known to give the most accurate calculations of time, position of sun & other stars and prediction about rain. A guided visit is a must to understand its functioning. Although the journey and visit was tedious I was eager to visit the famous village resort Chokhi Dhani.
Choki Dhani – Jaipur
A Rajasthan village theme restaurant, dotted with machans and platforms where different folk artist perform. Authentic Rajasthani traditional food was delicious there.
On the second day of the trip I got up early and started the day keeping in mind to visit the maximum attractions of the city. I dedicated this trip to the famous forts and most important Ranthambore national park.
Ranthambore National Park – Sawai Madhopur
It is one of the biggest and most renowned national park in Northern India. The park is located in the Sawai Madhopur, which is about 130 km from Jaipur. Being considered as one of the famous and former hunting grounds of the Maharajas of Jaipur, I saw so many beautiful animals along with Tiger also. First time in my life I saw many animals in the natural habitat. There were Tigers, Sambar deer, Nilgai, Common or Hanuman langurs, Macaques, Jungle cats, Sloth bears, Black bucks, Indian Wild Boar, Chinkara, Common Palm Civets or Toddy cat, Coomon Yellow Bats, Desert Cats, Five striped Palm Squirrels, Indian False Vampires, Indian Flying Foxes, Indian Foxes, Indian Gerbilles, Indian Mole Rat and Indian Porcupines. That was a great fun and amazing experience. After having the awesome experience of Ranthambore I stayed in a hotel in Sawai Madhopur, rested there for that night, next day early in the morning started my journey again. I dedicated this day for forts and, I started my day by visiting the famous Amer fort.
Amer Fort – Jaipur
A beautifully made fort, it has a number of stunning palaces to fascinate visitors. It is very well maintained. The main essence of this fort is the elephant ride. Despite having my own vehicle, I chose to go to the fort on an elephant. After having a traditional Rajasthani lunch of Daal Baati & Churma. Later headed towards Nahargarh fort.
The view from the fort was spectacular. The movie shooting of “Rang de basanti” took place here. A place for nature lovers, very silent and tranquil place. The fort is at an extreme height. After enjoying the scenic beauty of Nahargarh, proceeded to see the famous fort, Jaigarh.
Jaigarh (Fort of Victory) – Jaipur
It is located on the top of a hill by the name of Cheel Ka Teela (Hill of Eagle). It showcase the artillery of Raja Jai Singh and also houses a number of antiques that belong to the royal family of Jaipur. The biggest cannon of the world, is exhibited here.
Jal Mahal – Jaipur
The Rajput style palace sits in the middle of Man Sagar lake and it was built and used as a summer residence of the Raja. This palace has such an amazing setting. The palace was flooded with tourist and lots of things to eat as well. Water was not clean, and place was littered with trash.
I spent the latter half of the day shopping in the famous market place of the city.
Although I stayed in Jaipur for four days still it seemed that I did not have enough of it. Overall I must say that my journey to Jaipur has been wonderful and offered a lot more experience to my life.

This project is solving the Spacecraft Thermal Power Consumption challenge. Description
Our project offers an innovative technological solution to the Robotic challenge: “spacecraft thermal power consumption”. Since the goal of this challenge was to determine the power available on the spacecraft for doing science by estimating the power that will be consumed by the thermal system. We choose to suppress the variable, thermal power, from the equation and to increasing the produced power in order to have more science power.
As our team was mostly composed by architecture students, we have questioned the shape of the spacecraft itself instead of making mathematical investigations. Knowing that the sphere is the geometrical form that would have a larger surface exposed to the sun, we started to explore the possible application for spacecraft.
Inspired by the Robert Bigelow's aerospace and by the Hauberman's sphere we have decided to propose an operating system composed of two spherical structures that are retractable and expendable. If these two spherical structures are filled with nitrogen and linked by a system of turbine and tubes (2 cylindrical tubes), that would allow the convection motion of warm and cold air. This operating system would lead to a natural regulation of the internal temperature. The temperature balloons inside would offer a suitable environment for the scientific exploration and for all the instruments used for experiment.
Besides the thermal regulation, this convecting system would produce energy with solar panel placed on the structure gaps in order to be directly exposed to the sun. In fact, the system we are proposing enables a lean management of solar energy captured by a satellite in orbit around Venus. The energy captured by the system will be used for all the subsystems required to keep the spacecraft healthy, alive and ready to be exploited and for services to be run or provided by the spacecraft.

Weakening yen: A wake-up callThe Japanese yen, which appreciated to as high as 75 yen to the U.S. dollar in the midst of great economic uncertainty, has fallen to 83 yen to the greenback - perhaps signalling the end of the era of a super-strong yen. The Japanese currency was seen as a safe haven from tumultuous markets and a potential euro zone collapse. While the U.S. dollar remained strong, investors flocked to currencies relatively safe from economic Armageddon, bringing the yen to unnatural highs. But signs of recovery in the United States and calmer waters in Europe - coupled with Japan’s ultraloose monetary policy - may have finally changed the Japanese currency’s course. Japan’s central bank pumped in 10 trillion yen ($120 billion) to stimulate the contracting economy and counter deflation.
The weakening trend will likely continue, with the country’s sovereign credit rating downgraded and an unprecedented trade deficit posted in January. The Japanese economy still moves at a snail’s pace amid underlying structural uncertainties. The yen’s volatility directly affects the Korean economy as industrial players of the two countries are major rivals in mainstream exports of electronics, automobiles and chemicals. Korea has so far benefited from the super-strong yen; Korean exporters raked in record-high profits with lower prices while their Japanese counterparts slumped into the red.
The Japanese yen may be catching its breath after a long climb. Nobody can say for sure it will head south. But its change of course should be a wake-up call for Korean manufacturers and exporters who have been complacent with their price competitiveness in overseas markets, largely thanks to a stronger yen.
The local economy has been at the mercy of swinging won-yen exchange rates before. The economy, which enjoyed staggering growth thanks to the dollar’s slump against the Japanese currency at around 80 yen per dollar, incurred a current account deficit and a currency crisis when the rate jumped to 120 yen to the greenback.
The Korean economy has gained enough confidence and resilience against the yen. But the weakening of the Japanese currency nevertheless is bad news for Korean exporters. Exporters should rationalize appropriation of output in production bases at home and overseas to be ready for foreign exchange volatilities. They must raise levels of quality, innovate and diversify markets.
The yen’s weakening could deal another blow to our economy.

Our team continues to be here for you and your cherished pets. We are OPEN and are now able to provide a wide range of services. To learn more about the changes we have implemented in response to COVID-19 and what to expect during your next visit, click here.
Fleas are an all too common problem for dogs and their owners. The little pests are a nuisance that can cause itching and scratching. They can carry disease and they can induce severe scratching and biting of the skin in dogs that are allergic to the saliva in flea bites. Ticks are another little pest that carries diseases and annoy our pets.
Signs of fleas include biting at the base of the tail, generalized itch, poor coat, and “flea dirt” which is dried, digested blood. The flea dirt will turn red when wet. You can run a flea comb through your dog’s fur to help gather flea dirt and fleas. Sometimes fleas can be hard to spot. The finding of one flea on your dog likely means there is much more than you have seen. Fleas can carry tapeworms, and the presence of tapeworm segments around the base of your dog’s tail suggests recent flea infestation. Ticks are often found around the head and neck and range in size from a raisin to a pin head. They are often firmly attached to the skin. They can sometimes be felt through the fur more easily than seen. You can usually spot small legs on the large round body.
How do you prevent fleas & ticks in dogs?
Prevent fleas and ticks on your dog by using flea and tick control from your vet year-round. Keep your lawn short and avoid tall grass. Check your dog frequently for ticks, especially when they come inside after a walk in an area known to have ticks.
What are the treatment options for ticks in dogs?
Treatment options for ticks include oral medications such as Bravecto and Nexgard, as well as the topical Revolution and Advantix. No one medication is 100 % effective and you must decide which one is best for you considering you and your pet’s lifestyle.
With recent changes to restrictions on businesses, we are pleased to advise that effective June 5, 2020 some restrictions on veterinary practices have been lifted. Based on these changes, below are some important updates to our operating policies.
1. WE CAN NOW SEE ALL CASES BY APPOINTMENT ONLY
This includes vaccines, wellness exams, blood work, heartworm testing, spays and neuters, dental services, and more!
2. SAFETY MEASURES TO KEEP EVERYONE SAFE
Continue our "closed waiting room" policy to protect our clients and staff. When you arrive, please remain outside the hospital and use your cell phone to call us. We will take a history of your pet's health and discuss any concerns. A staff member will then meet you outside to bring your pet into the hospital for an examination. The Veterinarian will call you to discuss the recommended treatment plan. After your appointment, a staff member will return your pet to you outside, and take care of any needed medications and payment.
Continue the use of credit cards as the preferred payment method.
Continue with curbside pickup of food and medication (unless you have used our online store and are having your order delivered directly to your home). To place an order through our online store, visit our website and click on "Online Store".
3. ONLINE CONSULTATIONS ARE AVAILABLE

Holding Out for a Hero
The word hero, in all of its various forms, is thrown around quite often in sports. Professional athletes are placed on a pedestal, expected to walk the straight and narrow and act as role models for the youth of the world. In tennis, the word hero is often associated with the word gladiator. Matches are played out one-on-one in an enclosed arena. When players come through long and arduous matches, they are hailed as warriors and fighters. The WTA’s previous global ad campaign, entitled “Looking for a Hero?”, was one of its most successful.
An athlete isn’t a hero because he uses physical strength and endurance to win. That’s his job. An athlete isn’t a hero because she goes out and wins multiple championships. That’s her goal. Heroism isn’t playing through an injury and coming out with a victory, and heroism isn’t rolling through the field to win a grand slam.
Despite all that, the word hero has not lost its luster in sports.
The ESPYs, ESPN’s annual fan-driven award show to celebrate athletic achievement in the past calendar year, takes itself far more seriously than it should. Ironically, it is the only awards show in the history of awards shows that doesn’t actually signify achievement in anything. Actors and directors measure their careers based on Oscars and Golden Globes, while musicians covet Grammys. But athletes? Each individual sport has its championships and each individual organization has its awards, medals and accolades. From the outside, the ESPYs seem like a colossal waste of time; in fact, they might even represent everything that’s wrong with professional sports today: over-the-top pomp and circumstance, glossy hero-worship, excessive media hype and dollar signs.
However, for approximately 20 minutes each year, the ESPYs do give us one thing: the chance to be inspired by a true hero. The Arthur Ashe Award for Courage is one of the only awards of the night that is not decided by fan voting; it is completely independent of the popularity contest and media circus. The award is presented to someone who “reflects the spirit of Arthur Ashe, possessing strength in the face of adversity, courage in the face of peril and the willingness to stand up for their beliefs no matter what the cost.” While a sports-themed award, the recipient does not have to be an athlete or even a sports figure; nonetheless, its honorees have given us some of the most memorable moments in sports history. In the first year of the ESPYs, Jimmy V told us, “Don’t give up. Don’t ever give up.” Last year, we backed Pat and she told us to “keep on keeping on.”
Last night, Robin Roberts received the 20th Arthur Ashe Award for Courage in the history of the ESPYs. Roberts, who has ties to the tennis family, is currently an anchor for ABC’s Good Morning America. A star athlete in her youth and record-holding basketball player at Southeastern Louisiana, she joined ESPN in 1990 and served with them for 15 years. Roberts was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2007 and after surgery, radiation and chemotherapy, she returned back to the airwaves. Last year, however, she was diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), a disease that developed as a side effect from her treatment. Roberts needed, and received, a bone marrow transplant that saved her life.
Roberts, who was a friend of Ashe and was presented the award by LeBron James, received a standing ovation from those present in the arena. “It’s not so much what we’ve accomplished that we remember,” Roberts said in her acceptance speech, “it’s what we overcome.”
Despite all of its flaws, the ESPYs, and by extension sport as a whole, provides viewers with a stage to have these stories told. Athletes and sports figures can be heroes, but not solely for athletic achievement; Jimmy V, Pat, Robin and others are figures that transcend sports. They’ve taken up a platform and embraced that stage for the greater good. That is the thing, and not the number of championships, golds medals, or slam trophies present in their cabinets, that is the most inspiring.

Occurrence of quarantine pests in Italy
The phytosanitary balance sheet for 1992 of all Italian provinces has been providing the information that Rhagoletis completa (EPPO A1 quarantine pest) is present in the province of Fruili-Venezia Giulia, located in the extreme east of the country at the border with Slovenia.

England’s test series against the Windies starts on Wednesday, so it’s time to invoke the spirit of Tony Greig and Colin Graves by making some ill thought through predictions. Surely we can’t lose to this ‘mediocre’ lot? Let’s make them, erm, wobble.
However, although over-confidence has proved England’s demise in the Caribbean before – don’t forgot we’ve only ever beaten the Windies away from home once in recent times – there’s good reason to think England can actually back up their supporters’ confidence this time. Why? Because they won’t be using a Kookaburra ball. The Windies have decided to use a Dukes variety that’s likely to stay harder for longer and swing consistently.
What’s more, the pitches aren’t likely to be slow this time either. The WI board has requested pitches with some pace and life. Jimmy and Stu pot will be licking their lips. A few months ago most observers expected England to endure a trial by spin on slow low turners – the type of conditions which completely exposed The Lions. But apparently the WI board would prefer to see some entertaining cricket this time than home victories.
One has to commend the WI board for taking this approach. It might not endear them much to the home supporters – many of whom objected to the appointment of Richard Pybus as coach – but it’s probably the right thing for West Indies cricket (and test cricket in general).
It always feels odd when the Windies triumph on lifeless pitches with crafty spinners. The spirit of West Indies cricket resides in carnival cricket and chin music. And that’s only possible on pitches with copious carry. If the board want the public to fall in love with the sport again then boring attritional cricket isn’t going to cut it. The Windies need to capture imaginations as well as occasional victories.
So how do the teams compare on paper? Although England have quite a few holes they also possess the best individual cricketers in my humble opinion. The Windies would kill for a Joe Root, a Ben Stokes, a Jimmy Anderson, or a even a Jonny Bairstow. And for that reason alone I expect England to win.
The West Indies team includes some very talented players but overall it lacks class. This might sounds harsh but statistically it’s true. England supporters know all about Shai Hope – he scored a brilliant hundred against us in 2017 – but he’s yet to fulfil his potential and still averages less than 30 in tests. It’s a staggering statistic for a player of his ability.
What’s more, the quality of players brought into the Windies squad for this series suggests that their cupboard is still pretty bare. John Campbell barely averages over 30 in first class cricket, and Shamrah Brooks is a journeyman with another very underwhelming record (although his domestic form has improved of late). It’s very hard to see these guys making much of an impact if England bowl well.
This is why the return of Darren Bravo, who does possess a touch of class, is so important for this series. Here’s a man who actually averages 40 in test cricket. He’s a proper test player rather than a young hopeful (or even an ageing hopeful). His presence makes the Windies batting look so much better.
If Bravo can score runs and the admirable Kraigg Brathwaite can knuckle down and occupy the crease for long periods (which he’s done against England before) then the Windies might be able to post some competitive scores. One imagines these guys will be absolutely key. If they can lay a platform then it might give Hope and youngsters like Shimon Hetmyer a chance to shine. Then there’s the keeper Shane Dowrich who can make useful contributions down the order.
The problem, of course, is that England’s bowlers are demonstrably better (not to mention more experienced) than the West Indies’ batsmen. And this is especially true when they’ve got a Duke in their hand. Jimmy Anderson and Stuart Broad looked in good rhythm in the warm-up exercises (I won’t go as far as calling them warm-up ‘games’), and Ben Stokes has always been a wicket-taker. England must be in good shape if they can afford to leave out Chris Woakes, who has always been good when armed with a Duke.
But what about England’s batsmen? Everyone knows they’re far from perfect. However, I do expect them to score enough runs to win the series – if only because we bat so deep. Kemar Roach and Shannon Gabriel are good bowlers, and I expect them to put our top order under pressure, but they can’t bowl all day. In fact, the bowler I was most worried about pre-series was the spinner Jomel Warrican – the man who tied The Lions in knots. The problem is that the surfaces might not suit him. I guess we’ll see.
The Windies’ other bowling options include Roston Chase, the journeyman all-rounder who rarely tears up trees, and young paceman Alzarri Joseph who is returning from a serious back injury. Joseph has been named in the squad even though nobody knows if he’s fit enough to play (which seems a bit bizarre). If he’s ruled out then the exciting Oshane Thomas, who is reportedly quite rapid, will play instead.
Have these guys got talent? Yes they have. But they’re hardly Starc, Hazlewood or Cummins. One expects that Jason Holder will need to be at his containing best if the Windies want to take 20 wickets. I expect they’ll have their moments (particularly when Keaton Jennings is at the crease, ahem) but they may struggle to land a knock-out blow. One suspects they’ll they’ll get all excited when they reduce us to 100-4, but end up scratching their heads as we somehow cobble together 350 all out. They might even think we’ve deliberately reversed the batting order just to troll them.
Personally I think this should be an interesting series. There’s a decent prize on offer for England as we haven’t won a series in the Windies since 2004, and we’re just about equipped to do the job this time. What’s more, the Windies might be motivated after their 2-0 thrashing in Bangladesh just before Christmas – although one can never tell just how motivated their cricketers really are. There’s always bloody politics to contend with in the Caribbean.
How the Windies respond to Pybus could be the crucial factor here. He wasn’t exactly a popular choice in many quarters. Former captain Darren Sammy and the legendary Desmond Haynes have all criticised his return. As someone who has always admired Stuart Law I think it’s a shame he’s no longer in situ. Law knows English cricket well so he might have given the home team an advantage they no longer possess.
Talking of Aussies many will see this series as preparation for The Ashes. And that’s another reason why I’m encouraged they’ll be using a Duke (albeit not the same one they use in England). A winter in Sri Lanka followed by a series on slow turners in the Caribbean wouldn’t have told us much at all. The prospect of something spicier means we may learn a bit more about the likes of Burns and Buttler.
I’m really looking forward to seeing what Burns can do in this series. The conditions should suit him a little better than they did in Sri Lanka. I’m also hopeful that Jonny Bairstow can emerge as a legitimate No.3 because heaven knows England need one. Although I think he’s more of a natural middle-order player (the ideal six) I do think he’s talented enough to prove me wrong.
It will also be interesting to see whether Jos Buttler bats at 5 or 6, and whether Ben Foakes continues to score runs. If things go wrong for England I worry that Foakes may be the first casualty. After all, some people are bound to question whether England really need three wicket keepers in the XI! The fact that Foakes is by far the best gloveman may become irrelevant if England sense the opportunity to squeeze in another all-rounder.

You Say Tomato, I say Raw Deal!
Joblessness and low-wage jobs grab headlines and hearts, but right now we have a chance to back folks who were losing ground way before the Great Recession.
Meet the workers of Immokalee, Florida, who pick our tomatoes but make just 50 cents for filling each 32-pound bucket. In real terms, tomato pickers today actually earn about half, for each bucket, what they earned 30 years ago.
In other words, just to get the minimum wage a tomato worker has to pick more than 2.25 tons of tomatoes during a day that begins before dawn and lasts 10-12 hours. That’s almost double the amount a worker had to pick to earn the minimum wage thirty years ago.
So, if the 1980 piece rate of 40 cents per 32-lb bucket had simply kept up with inflation, today farm workers should get $1.06/bucket in 2010 — not 50 cents.
The Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW) is an amazingly effective group of farm workers empowering themselves. They ask our simple actions of support, right now:
Here’s the deal:
Because of the CIW’s ingenious, persistent efforts over years, four huge fast-food companies have signed Fair Food agreements with them — committing to that critical one more penny a pound, as well as a code of conduct that protects workers’ basic rights! They are McDonald’s, Yum Brands, Burger King and Subway. Three large food service providers also signed: Compass Group, Aramark and Sodexo.
Now’s the moment to focus on the half-a-trillion dollar supermarket industry, asking them to join Whole Foods, who got fairer nearly two years ago by signing the CIW agreement. But other major grocery chains resist. So the Coalition of Immokalee Workers needs us. They are calling on us to get some backbone, too, and participate in the Campaign for Fair Food.
Here’s what they ask us to do right now:
Send an email today to the CEO’s of Publix, Ahold, Kroger and Trader Joe’s to demand “they quit stalling and start working with the CIW to protect human rights in their Florida tomato supply chain.”
And there are other actions we can take to get into the thick of this much-overdue step for basic justice.
Save these dates...
Sunday February 27th, when you can join Immokalee farm workers and allies from across the country in Quincy, Massachusetts, for a protest at Ahold’s U.S. headquarters (Ahold is the parent company for Stop & Shop and Giant). Then, a week-long tour down the east coast.
Saturday, March 5th, ditto in Tampa, Florida: a second major action in Publix’s backyard.
Not motivated enough yet to tell the supermarket execs what you think?
Remember that farm workers have no right under law to overtime pay or to organize unions for collective bargaining. Farm workers were excluded from key New Deal labor protections, including the National Labor Relations Act and the Fair Labor Standards Act.
And, the seasonal and unpredictable nature of agricultural work mean that average unemployment among farmworkers is double those of wage and salary workers.
Thank the Coalition of Immokalee Workers for getting this far, so we can act now on behalf of the most exploited, moving our country one step toward the fair working conditions we all deserve.


- Residents of Bushwick in Brooklyn, NY are fighting to get a Five-star Carting waste transfer station shut down, or at least moved out of their neighborhood, where it has resided for two decades. They have complained of offensive smells and fumes, and have also said the company is violating city rules — for instance, by leaving trucks idling for hours.
- Five-Star, which is permitted to receive 560 tons of garbage daily, said they are operating in accordance with city and environmental laws.
- Neighborhood activist group Clean Up North Brooklyn produced a video relaying resident’s concerns, especially the spray to cover odors, which contains ingredients that carry health warnings, according to neighborhood activist Ben Weinstein.
The turf war has escalated among Five-Star, residents and local politicians, with the community saying they are inundated with manmade environmental hazards.
"If you live in my district, asthma rates, pollution, the destruction of the streets, pedestrians dealing with truck traffic — these are all very familiar topics of concern," said Councilman Reynoso. His district is home to 15 transfer stations of 62 throughout the city. North Brooklyn houses 40% of the city’s waste transfer stations, far exceeding the number in any other community.
David Newman, an industrial hygienist with New York Committee for Occupational Safety, agrees with residents concerned about the spray to cover odors, stating, "I’d certainly like more information on how it’s used."
Not too far away, New Yorkers are fighting a similar battle, trying to stop construction of a waste transfer station that they argue would not meet health and safety requirements for the project's permit.
Back in Bushwick, Five-Star’s spokesperson Ara Chekmayan said, "The statements that they have made are not factual; there's a lot of misinformation that's being disseminated. The Brooklyn transfer is a clean, operating licensed facility."

Sextets by Brahms and Tchaikovsky
with Benicia Chamber Players
3:00 PM PT
Benicia Community Congregational Church (click for map)
Tickets $20, students $5
Johannes Brahms and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky: two great Romantics, born exactly seven years apart. The younger Tchaikovsky wrote music of the heart, centered on emotion and athleticism. And he resented Brahms for his intricate, skillfully crafted Germanic works, calling him “a giftless bastard” and “a conceited mediocrity” in his diary. That was before the two met for dinner, on New Year’s Day 1888, and . . . had a great time. Brahms was coarser in person than Tchaikovsky expected, smoking cigars and letting the ash fall in his beard. Tchaikovsky came off more refined, smoking high-quality cigarettes. Both drank a lot. And they met at least one more time to do the same.
So, want to come hear their music?

text: The Karratha Kats remain unbeaten in the 2022 North Pilbara Football League season after drubbing the Port Hedland Rovers by 104 points. The game at Millars Well Oval on April 30 was the Kats’ first home game of the season. Kats got the jump on the Rovers early in the opening term before running away to a 23-point lead at quarter time. A further four goals in the second quarter gave the home side a 51-point lead at half-time. The Kats refused to ease up after the main break, booting 3.5 while conceding just one goal to further extend their lead going into the final break. A five-goal fourth quarter further extended the home side’s lead, with the Kats running away by 104 points. The pain could have been worse for the Rovers if the Kats had been more accurate in front of goal after scoring 21 behinds, with the final scored 16.21 (117) to 2.1 (13). The goals were shared around by the Kats with six individual goal scorers but Kevin Seelander was the standout with three. Ashley Mulhall and Dylan Ross scored Rovers’ only goals. The victory means Karratha Kats remain on top of the ladder with eight points and a massive percentage of 213.68. Karratha Kats reserves side followed suit with a 109-point demolition of the visiting Port Hedland Rovers. Kats led at every break after running away with a 33-0 opening term and finished up winning 18.10 (118) to 1.3 (9).

Angel: After the Fall Issue 1, “After the Fall” Chapter 1, plotted by Joss Whedon and Brian Lynch, scripted by Brian Lynch, illustrated by Franco Urru, coloured by Ilaria Traversi, lettered by Robbie Robbins, edited by Chris Ryall, cover by Tony Harris, 27 pages of comics, IDW Publishing, November 2007, US$3.99
It’s probably unfair to reach judgements after just one issue, but it’s still harder to resist the temptation to compare IDW’s new Angel series, After the Fall, the first to show us what Joss Whedon thinks happened after the end of his TV series, with Dark Horse’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Season 8: The Long Way Home, which did the same for its big sister (and which I rather liked).
And the similarities are striking.
First, there is a shift of scale and setting to something that could not be managed on a TV budget. Buffy is now leading an army of slayers based in a Scottish castle; Angel is riding a dragon over a Los Angeles that has been sucked into Hell.
Second, there is an excess of recurring characters and a reluctance to move on from those already left behind. So, in the last TV episode, Wesley Wyndham-Price was killed as decisively as any character could be. He’s back here, admittedly as a ghost, but with more dialogue than pretty much anyone else. Gunn is back too. And we get Connor. And Electro-Gwen. And Angel’s werewolf girlfriend. And Wolfram & Hart. True, Spike is being held back for next issue, and Illyria and Harmony haven’t turned up yet, but that may just mirror the structure of The Long Way Home, in which Giles and Willow only appeared in later issues. It’s odd that a professional writer should seem to be writing fan fiction about his own creations, but then Joss Whedon often comes across as his own biggest fan (if we discount the outright certifiable).
Third, like Buffy, Angel seems now to have discarded the idea of an overarching metaphor. This is a particular shame in Angel’s case, as it was only in its last season on TV that it settled upon a satisfactory approach, using supernatural stories to address the compromises of adult working life.
But alongside these similarities are major differences in the level of craft on display.
The big change from Buffy is that the Angel comic only has Whedon as a co-plotter. He shares the plot with Brian Lynch, who also writes the script. Lynch gives us page after page of macho posturing and dull threats, with only a smattering of wit. Odd touches of quirky originality – a telepathic fish, apparently carried over from Lynch’s earlier Spike comic – are counterbalanced by such tired clichés as a harem of women in chains and a group of men forced to fight as gladiators. Lynch is a television writer by trade, but, unlike his colleague, he does not seem yet to have mastered writing in his new medium. It’s often unclear who is providing the first-person narrative caption boxes, for example, and their relationship to the pictures is unsteady, neither juxtaposed nor properly supportive. The shock ending is undermined as much by bathetic final words as by the difficulty of recognising the character in the last panel (it took me two reads, and I am not the most casual and inattentive of readers. Perhaps it would have helped if artist and colourist had followed the script’s hints about co-ordinated clothes).
Franco Urro’s artwork is often sketchy, but mostly serves the narrative, apart from a curious addiction to panels showing characters standing in straight lines left-to-right, looking out at the reader. Perhaps this is some sort of parodic reference to the “power shots” that always ended the TV show’s title sequences, but it is so artificial as to pull you right out of the story.
The big problem with the art – as has been the case on most IDW comics that I have seen, apart from those with colour art produced by Ben Templesmith – is the crude and muddy Photoshop colour and effects that quite overwhelm Urro’s already non-too-robust drawing. This seems to be a house style, so I am not inclined to blame Ilaria Traversi too much for it.
Altogether, not an inspiring start. I’ll give it another issue, but I remember watching the dismal, incoherent and leaden fourth television season of Angel (the one with Cordelia giving birth to an evil goddess) as the biggest act of misplaced loyalty to a TV show that I’ve committed since mid-1980s Doctor Who, so I am reluctant to repeat the mistake in comics.

Loved again Been playing game for over a year. Woke other day everything and everything was deleted. After about four emails and a week i finally got a response and help restoring my city. This is the absolute funnest and most well rounded tower defense game ive ever played hands down. I would recommend this game for any adult or child into TD games.
AMAZING I have had this game for two days and I can't put it down!! Amazing graphics in my opinion; very nicely thought out story line/plot for the game. There is one thing I would recommend that is taken off: the mission where you have to connect to Facebook. I don't have a Facebook and I don't really want to start one. Other than that, this game has really suprised me with how much I love it. Thank you for reading this long and boring review.
LOVE but too many ads I love playing this games, it's so fun and addicting. Plus it's a game you can play for hours and lives don't run out ! The downfall is there is too many ads. I'll watch them if I can choose when. They have terrible timing for when they do pop up and you can't even exit out of them. But over all great and fun game.
Great game. I liked it so much up to one point. It was the point where EVERY SINGLE TIME i turned it on, it had to download additional content. Why? I went to see it i could update it, but there was no update, and every single time i have to wait 10 MINUTES for it to load. | | This close to uninstalling it. Plz fix :(
Hey man great job on this game But may suggest a mode called sandbox mode where we can sharpen our skills or just have fun. And oh if ur a balloon my dart will go right through u*throws drat at zomg* noo it bounced off.# pop em all
Saving It would be great if you could add in the option to delete saves on email,Google play, and Facebook.also can you add in the option to stay in cloud or stay in device save that way I wouldn't have to worry about which one to use. Also one last thing, could you add in automatic saving in the cloud save so no progress would be erased. But other than that it's a pretty solid game!
* Minor bug fixes
You asked for it and now it's finally here! Redecorating your city is easy with the brand new edit mode!
Just tap the edit button on the city screen and you'll be able to place or move any building or decoration with ease. Build streets, gardens, or anything else you can think of.

Ok, this isn't an artsy post. I've been working on some birthday cards, but I haven't finished them. I wanted to post about a movie I just saw. I ordered it from Netflix- it is one I've wanted to see for ages. I thought DH would watch it with me, but he informed me he was NOT interested in Japanese anime no matter what. Oh, well, excuse me!!! I decided that since I was taking it easy today due to not feeling well, I'd watch it. My Neighbor Totoro was so cute! I loved Spirited Away, and since this was by the same Japanese animation studio, I thought it would be good, too! Wow, was it ever!! I loved it! You must see it!
I don't want to give anything away- just say two sisters go to live in a new house with their dad while their mother is recuperating in the hospital. They meet this special spirit of the woods called Totoro. I know it sounds hokey, but you must see it! Such a sweet movie!!!
That's it for now. I'm still working on some cards I need finished by tomorrow. I'll be back soon!
Thank you card!

Here’s some essential information for campervan travellers in Dublin
Dublin city is on the eastside of Ireland along the Irish Sea, 100 km west of Holyhead in Wales. Dublin airport is 7km north of the city, operating as the country’s main international hub with the main local airlines being Aer Lingus and Ryanair. Dublin Port connects the city with the ferry to Isle of Man, Holyhead and Liverpool, with the last two operating as road connection to continental Europe through the English channel. The motorway M50 circles the city and connects to most of the island’s main roads. North on M1 to Belfast in Northern Ireland, north-west to Donegal through M3, the M6 to Galway, and south on M7 and M8 to Limerick and Cork respectively. The Luas (tram) and the Dart (commuter train) are the main means of public transport, together with busses (however the city busses can be quite unreliable).
Most parking in Dublin is “pay and display” roadside parking, where pay through a parkometer (usually €2-4/h). Pay attention to risk areas for burglaries, such as side-roads north of the Liffey. A rule-of-thumb is always parking in visible and busy space. St.Mark’s Church on Pearse Street offers half-day prices at around €8 (pre-booking available). Q-Park Dawson Street has good offers on daily and nightly rates. In car-parks, pay extra attention to the height, as some campervans might be higher than the standard. Outside the city, you can park at Clontarf Road and hop on a train to Connolly Station or park at the Luas cark park at Red Cow stop.
- Camac Valley Caravan & Camping Park: Close to the city centre but still in natural surroundings, prices range from €26-€40 a night. - Hidden Valley Resort: Camping resort in the Wicklow Mountains, 60km south of Dublin, offer a range of on-site activities, perfect for a family adventure. - Lunders Mobile Home: Great beachside campsite, 25 km north of the city, next to the picturesque Portane Beach.
Dublin is an old Viking village that later is beloved as a great cultural hub for music (U2, the Script), literature (Oscar Wilde, James Joyce) and beer. The name originates from the Celtic word “dubh Linn”, meaning black pool, referring to the dirty pool in Dublin castle. The city is split in two by River Liffey, with the main streets being O’Connell Street in the north and Grafton Street on the southside. Temple Bar District, just south of the Liffey is known for its Irish pubs and street musicians, as well as the city’s most famous pub (and tourist trap) “The Temple Bar”. If you are looking to hire a campervan in Dublin you should explore more than just the city centre, as there are many remarkable areas within a 30 minutes drive. We recommend the cosy neighbourhood Rathmines, the fishing village Howth, the coastal areas Killiney, Bray and Malahide as well as the Wicklow Mountains.
Dublin’s weather is cold, humid and wet due to its location in the Atlantic. Weather conditions come and go rapidly, and it is not uncommon for a sunny day to have several spills of rain. A local tip is to always carry a raincoat in your backpack at all times, as umbrellas rarely last in the high winds. In winter, temperatures are not extreme (usually 2-10°C), but high humidity and winds create a strong sensation of cold. During summer, days can be as long as 17h, however rarely go above 15-20°C. The warmest months are June and July, while the wettest period is between October and December. The rough weather does, however, create great conditions for watersport with ideal kite/windsurfing spots in Bull island and Poolbeg, minutes outside Dublin city centre. Dublin's biggest annual event is St. Patrick’s day, 17th March. The official Irish bank holiday brings tourists from near and far, to enjoy Guinness and great craic in the streets of Dublin. St.Patricks weekend together with the summer months (June-August), are the busiest and most expensive periods to travel to Dublin. April and May might be the best months visit as the green city are flourishing, the weather more dry and warm, while prices are relatively low.
Here are a few of the most searched alternatives to Dublin in other countries.

The focus of many defense attorneys and advocacy groups has shifted in recent years from DNA analysis to debunking decades-old investigative tactics, such as bite mark analysis and forced confessions.
BY MEGAN HENNEY
AND CHRISTOPER HUFFAKER
TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
WASHINGTON – The rate of criminal exonerations in America is at a record high.
But experts say that, in many instances, these cases are getting harder and harder to litigate because so many of them now stem from cases that lack concrete DNA evidence.
According to the nation’s largest database on wrongful convictions, while DNA evidence accounted for nearly 40 percent of all exonerations a decade ago, much has changed. In 2015, DNA evidence played a role in less than one-fifth of cases where sentences were overturned.
As a result, the focus of many defense attorneys and advocacy groups has shifted in recent years from DNA analysis to debunking decades-old investigative tactics, such as bite mark analysis and forced confessions.
Professor Richard Leo at the University of San Francisco School of Law said this decline in the prevalence of DNA-based exonerations comes as no surprise.
“Now, if there is biological evidence to be tested, it’s used in the pretrial stage,” he said.
‘The second wave’
The focus on overturning old-school forensics is part of what Justin Brooks, director of the California Innocence Project, calls the “second wave” in the fight to overturn wrongful convictions.
“First was the slam-dunk DNA cases; those opened the door to all this other stuff,” Brooks said. “Courts are now open to the conversation and are more willing to grant cases. That just wasn’t true 20 years ago.”
Brooks said that while this massive shift toward non-DNA exonerations has provided his advocacy group and others like it new opportunities to prove clients’ innocence, a lack of “slam-dunk” DNA evidence makes overcoming the burden of proof a very difficult task.
“The biggest challenge is … you can show that the evidence is faulty, but it doesn’t necessarily knock the case out completely,” he said. “We don’t know definitively that the person is innocent.”
Researchers on DNA
Indeed, according to a 2009 report released by the National Academy of Sciences, researchers have found that DNA is the only type of evidence that can consistently and confidently connect specific individuals to crimes or prove innocence.
More generally, they found that laboratory-based methods like DNA and fingerprint analysis are more reliable than on-scene techniques such as fire analysis.
DNA remains the gold standard of forensic techniques. However, here are a just a few of the most flawed tactics and types of evidence that have contributed to the latest spike in exonerations as science has proved these techniques far from reliable.
The evidence: Until about two decades ago, bite mark evidence was regularly used in courtrooms across the country and thought to be near infallible.
The problem: Forensic scientists have since discovered bite marks to be far less reliable in linking specific individuals to crimes.
Brooks said this is because bite marks can be mistaken for other injuries, they deform over time, and their analysis is extremely subjective to the person who examines them. It is still used today, but its reliability is much more disputed.
“There’s a real problem here,” Rowe said. “Someone really needs to direct the research to test it.”
The evidence: Until fairly recently, Brooks said fire investigators based their beliefs on whether or not a fire was started intentionally on intuition and personal experience rather than scientific evidence.
The problem: Often times, these “fire experts,” which Brooks said in many cases were simply glorified firefighters, erroneously believed that signs like the occurrence of multiple points of ignition directly pointed to arson.
“They are probably the most poorly trained of all the people who investigate criminal activity,” said Rowe. “Most of what they do is basically folklore or guesswork, especially point-of-origin investigation.” This means people might have spent decades in prison in cases that involved no crime at all because a natural fire was mistaken for arson.
Richard Meier, director of the National Association of Fire Investigators and a fire investigator in Sarasota, said there were no standards or certifications at all until the 1980s, and even today many fire investigators do not follow those standards.
As an example, he said, “fire patterns” that some believe indicate the use of accelerants often mean nothing at all or might even be evidence against arson.
The evidence: It wasn’t long ago that a confession was considered the absolute gold standard for criminal prosecutions. Few judges or jurors could possibly fathom why a person would confess to a crime he or she didn’t commit.
The problem: A record number of exonerations recorded by the National Registry of exonerations last year resulted from false confessions.
In 2015, 13 out of 22 victims of false convictions in homicide cases were both under 18 and mentally handicapped to some degree. But it was a case that occurred over 40 years ago that set a major precedent for overturning these kinds of convictions.
