Berlin's best sights and attractions
Make the most of your Berlin days out from the best sights down to the Currywurst Museum
CommentsAdd +
© Elan Fleisher
Unmissable in scale and impact, Berlin's great sights are scattered over the city, conjuring up inspiring views and deep-felt stories. You can pack a lot in on a weekend visit to Berlin, a whistle-stop city tour the first steps into its intense and complex past
For many Berliners the events of the 20th century are within living memory and the city's architecture is saturated with historical significance; every nook or grand vista has its ghosts and stories, adding to the city's unique atmosphere. There are a number of different historical nexus points: Unter den Linden and the glorious Brandenburger Tor speaking of the city's Prussian heritage, shades of its brutal Nazi years found throughout, the Topography of Terror a chilling reminder and the East Side Gallery, a colourful tribute to a once divided city. Berlin has over 200 museums, from world-class collections of Classical art at the beautifully restored Neues Museum, to the striking Liebeskind-designed Jewish Museum and plenty more irreverent affairs, even the humble Currywurst has its own museum! Berlin's sights take many forms, and whether famous landmarks, functioning offices, postmodern memorials or epic museums, they are all part of the life of the place.
Olympic Stadium
- Critics choice
Designed by Werner March, the Olympiastadion is a testimony to the ideals of fascist architecture. At the end of a straight stretch of road running directly from Brandenburger Tor through Tuergarten and on, this is a graceful oval structure in pale stone, rich with

|Saturday School to Make Up Snow Days
|Written by Steve Frank
|Monday, 10 January 2011 14:26
Ashe and Watauga Schools are looking to this Saturday to make up one of the days missed to snow so far this year.
Ashe announced their intention to have school this Saturday as they closed school for today, and this afternoon, Marshall Ashcraft announced that Watauga would do the same, plus hold classes Monday, January 17th. Ashcraft said that the schedule for Saturday is that school will start at the regular time but it will be an early release day. The prek-8 schools will dismiss at 12:00 and the high school will let out at 1:00. Schools will be open Saturday even if they are closed the preceding day. However, schools will either open at the usual time or they will be closed - delayed openings will not be used. For Monday, January 17, the schedule will be a regular school day. The teacher workday scheduled for this date will be moved to a Saturday.

POTSDAM The lawyer for the Potsdam man charged with criminal nuisance after his remark to a school principal was taken as a threat said his clients civil rights have been violated.
Toby J. Labier, 37, pleaded not guilty Friday in Potsdam Village Court to second-degree criminal nuisance and disorderly conduct. He was arrested Oct. 3 after a tense meeting with Lawrence Avenue Elementary Principal Larry B. Jenne, who told police Mr. Labier said to him, You wonder why people come into school and shoot things up.
Potsdam schools were put in lockout mode for 45 minutes that morning as police searched for Mr. Labier. In a lockout, as opposed to a complete lockdown, visitors are barred from entering the schools and children are not allowed to leave, but classes and activities carry on as normal inside.
St. Lawrence County Assistant Public Defender Steven G. Ballan advised Mr. Labier to hire a civil rights attorney, saying his First and Second Amendment rights are being violated by the criminal charges and an order of protection that requires him to surrender his weapons.
The lawyer said that, although school administrators had the right to go into lockout mode, Mr. Labier did not commit a crime.
Hes being charged in violation of his First Amendment rights to free speech, Mr. Ballan said. Even if they felt threatened, thats too bad for them.
Mr. Ballan urged Potsdam Village Justice Nicholas J. Pignone to vacate the order of protection that bars Mr. Labier from going to the school, contacting Mr. Jenne and possessing any weapons.
Im going to keep it in place, said the judge, who adjourned the case to Dec. 13.
Mr. Ballan said he will file a motion seeking to have the charges against his client dismissed. He also urged St. Lawrence County District Attorney Nicole M. Duve to do the right thing and dismiss the charges for lack of merit.
Mr. Labier didnt threaten a soul, Mr. Ballan said. The DA should be upholding the law, which includes the Constitution.

BUFFALO, N.Y.-A highly anticipated Monsignor Martin league match up between Canisius and Bishop Timon on Friday night did not disappoint.
Timon aimed to give Canisius their first league loss, while Canisius intended to stay unbeaten in league play.
Canisius pulled out to an early lead thanks to Adam Weir's 14 first quarter points, but the Tigers stormed right back.
The game was close the whole way, but Canisius took control in the fourth quarter, going on to win 64-59. Canisius Head Coach Kyle Husband said "our defense was good when it mattered, we tightened up and played the way we need to all the time."
#25 Adam Weir led the way for the Crusaders with 28 points, and iced the game going 8-8 from the line in the fourth quarter. # 25 Demone Harris added 22 for his Tigers, but it was not enough to come away with the victory.
Coach Husband added " Timon is one of the toughest places to play, and also one of the most fun. Their kids show up, the fans always show up, and everything about it is tough, but it's always fun." After this win Canisius improves to 14-3, and 7-0 in Monsignor Martin league play.
Next up for the Crusaders they travel to Fairport on Saturday for a 5:15 tip off with the Red Raiders.

We'll respond shortly.
One project attempted upgrading the newrelic rpm to version 2.10.3 and 2.10.4 but it broke delayed_job. The fix was to down grade newrelic to version 2.9.9.
Ruby versions above 1.8.7 patch level 174 are not stable with RVM.
Incidentally this is the version of ruby that ships with snow leopard.
- What's the best practice for configuring services that notify users between development, staging and production? You really don't want to send out a million email notifications by mistake when you are testing the staging version of a service. If you put the switch in the database, it could lead to the production database being moved to staging or development and sending out erroneous notifications. Putting the switch in an environment variable means that it's difficult to test the staging server with some sample data.
Some Answers:
Some projects encrypt credentials for the different environments with different keys, thus the production credentials will absolutely not be available to the staging servers. (This can be hassle because you get exceptions when you try to use the real credentials in a staging environment with the different key.) Doing this means that you can inject test data into the staging environment encrypted with the staging keys and use that without risk of mistakenly sending notifications to real users.
Consider wrapping the API in question with a fake that only talks to the real world in the production environment.
Perhaps you could set up a rake task that manages the state of a live versus test notification.
"Rails versions above 1.8.7 patch level 174 are not stable with RVM. Incidentally this is the version of rails that ships with snow leopard."
So… I'm going to assume you mean ruby even though you typed rails twice…
you are correct. fixed. -ccm
"Ruby versions above 1.8.7 patch level 174 are not stable with RVM. Incidentally this is the version of ruby that ships with snow leopard."
On my laptop (and all others I have seen) Snow Leopard ships with patch level 72, not 174.
ruby 1.8.7 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 72) [universal-darwin10.0]
Well, thats two factual errors in three items. I'm going to have to fire my fact checker now.
I see the same thing on my laptop as well.

Fractional Urate Excretion in Nonedematous Hyponatremia
Recruitment status was Recruiting

- How to Read a Study Record
Hyponatremia, defined as a serum sodium < 135 mmol/l, in patients without edema has undergone significant changes where it is now evident that even mild hyponatremia should be treated because of its association with symptoms, especially a fourfold increase in falls over the age of 65 years. There is an unresolved controversy over the relative prevalence of the syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) and cerebral/renal salt wasting (C/RSW). Resolution of this diagnostic dilemma becomes urgent because of divergent therapeutic goals, to water-restrict in SIADH or to give salt and water supplementation in C/RSW. The dilemma is compounded by recent reports of C/RSW occurring in patients without cerebral disease, thus adding further confusion in defining the relative prevalence of both syndromes. Because of overlapping laboratory and clinical findings in both syndromes, only differences in the state of extracellular volume differentiates one syndrome from the other, being high normal to increased in SIADH and decreased in C/RSW. The investigators have used fractional excretion (FE) of urate to categorize patients with hyponatremia. The increased FEurate that is observed in hyponatremic patients with SIADH and C/RSW can be used to differentiate both syndromes by correcting the hyponatremia and determining whether FEurate normalizes as in SIADH or remains increased in C/RSW. The present studies have been designed to determine total body water by deuterium and extracellular water by sodium bromide in patients with nonedematous hyponatremia with normal and increased FEurate to differentiate more conclusively whether the patient has normal or decreased water volumes. The investigators will also correct serum sodium rapidly with judicious administration of hypertonic saline over approximately three days and determine whether FEurate normalizes as in SIADH or remains increased as in C/RSW. In another group of patients, The investigators have data to suggest that those with normal sodium and increased FEurate is consistent with C/RSW. The investigators intend to do the same water volume studies to determine whether an increased FEurate with normonatremia would have decreased total and extracellular water that these patients have C/RSW without the need to correct a prior hyponatremia.

|Study of Nonedematous Hyponatremia and the Utility of Fractional Urate Excretion in Hyponatremia and Suspected Renal Salt Wasting Without Hyponatremia-
- Etiologic categorization of nonedematous hyponatremia [ Time Frame: 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]We will attempt to categorize the etiology of nonedematous hyponatremia by the following parameters in decreasing order of importance, total and extracellular water determinations, fractional urate excretion, plasma renin and aldosterone levels, urinary sodium concentration and urine osmolality. We will also determine total and extracellular water in a group suspected of having renal salt wasting by virtue of having increased fractional urate excretion and normal serum sodium concentrations.

Drug: Tolvaptan in euvolemic hyponatremia
This arm will test the effectiveness of tolvaptan in treating the hyponatremia of patients with euvolemic hyponatremia.
Other Name: oral tolvaptan (Samsca
Detailed Description:
The investigators have demonstrated that a normal FEurate in a nonedematous hyponatremic patient is highly consistent with the diagnosis of reset osmostat (RO). Since as much as 36% of patients with SIADH have RO, the investigators will evaluate these patients by either noting dilute urines in spontaneously excreted urines or after a modified water-loading test. The investigators have found that a normal FEurate in a nonedematous hyponatremic patient is highly consistent with RO.
The investigators intend to treat euvolemic patients with hyponatremia with tolvaptan, the V2 ADH receptor blocker, to determine the effectiveness of this form of therapy in a group of patients in whom correction of hyponatremia has been difficult to achieve by usual methods.
Nonedematous hyponatremic patients with serum sodium < 135 mmol/l will be recruited from Winthrop-University Hospital and from our outpatient practice.
It is anticipated that the present studies will provide valuable information on the relative prevalence of SIADH and C/RSW in patients with nonedematous hyponatremia. One possible drawback to these studies is our inability to determine total and extracellular water volumes in patient who are admitted to the neuro/neurosurgical ICU where the acute illnesses require parenteral therapy that will create a nonsteady state situation where total and extracellular water volumes cannot be accurately determined. This is an important possible omission because volume studies in this population of studies have indicated more that two thirds of patients having decreased volumes that were consistent with C/RSW, yet the medical literature states that C/RSW is rare. Studies in hyponatremics elsewhere in the hospital should shed important light on the methods to differentiate SIADH from C/RSW, data which can assist us in differentiating both syndromes in the neuro/neurosurgical ICU, where the investigators intend to perform FEurates.
It is anticipated that volume studies in patients with Alzheimer's disease with normal serum sodium and increased FEurate will demonstrated decreased volumes and confirm our earlier observations that many of these patients are renal salt wasters. It would be interesting to test whether volume repletion with saline will improve them mentally and physically.

CLEVELAND -- Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Judge Dick Ambrose has ruled that a Cleveland jury will consider either life in prison with no parole or the death penalty when sentencing convicted serial killer Anthony Sowell.
Parole will not be a possibility for Sowell, 51. He was convicted Friday of aggravated murder and other charges in the deaths of 11 women whose remains were found at his Imperial Avenue home.
Sowell had been charged with 85 counts.
A jury convicted Sowell Friday on 82 counts of aggravated murder, kidnapping, rape and other charges. He was found not guilty on one count of robbery amd Ambrose had previously dismissed two counts.
Ambrose ruled Wednesday that Sowell was a repeat violent offender and sexual violent predator - specifications in the indictment that Sowell had waived his right for a jury to consider.
The specifications eliminate the chance for parole.
Ambrose also granted a defense motion to lead Sowell through an unsworn question-and-answer statement during the sentencing phase, which begins Aug. 1.

|New Era: 4G for Boone 'Smart' Phones
|Written by Steve Frank
|Friday, 07 September 2012 05:35
For those of us with 'smart' phones, an inconspicuous change yesterday that means a great change for those who use cell phones for data and, well, like a computer. The center of Boone was turned into a 4G with the Verizon version of 4G LTE registering on phones
in range. It appeared that technicians were still working the new system, as it seemed to come and go several times, but connecting to it, data speeds were well beyond the 3G speeds. Charting the signal, it was still connecting 4G just about to Watauga Medical Center, although with much less signal, but the center of Boone and the ASU campus was flooded with a strong 4G signal. It was well over a year ago that Carolina West and Verizon announced they would partner to put in a system in the High Country, and the first evidence, well ahead of schedule, is here.

Rash lost use of legs and arms tongue swollen fever very very bad allergic reaction never happened before and if it didn't happen would've been happy to use again but for me no thanks
told to take 4x500 to front load; could not tolerate; within 3 hours extreme dizziness, cold sweats, unable to walk. one hour later multiple vomiting & diarrhea. did not continue.
I did experience daily diarrhea with this medication and occasional nausea but I think it did the trick for my 6-day old sinus infection. I was taking the 875mg/125mg so that may have been the reason for the side effects.
When my twins were babies, the occasional bout with otitis media, happened here and there. We were always prescribed Augmentin. It worked wonders, but always gave the babies diarrhea. Be certain to follow the BRAT diet throughout the entire course of therapy, and if it's for a young one still in diapers PREVENTION of diaper rash (load up on Balmex/Desitin or A&D), is imperative.
Stomach, at ease. Vagina, ON FIRE! After a miserable experience with nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea with Doxycycline, I was more than glad to be put on Amoxycillin. Although I am not a fan of antibiotics, I knew I need them to combat the Lyme's bacteria. Being vegan I don't exactly get a chance to replace beneficial bacteria in my body through the foods I eat, so I upped my dose of L. Acidophilus: Six capsules a day in stead of two. Unfortunately this was not enough to ward off the dreaded yeast infections associated with prolonged antibiotic use. I ended up treating the infection topically until my Amoxycillin ran out, got a prescription for Diflucan to finish it off, and followed up with four L.Acidophilus pills a day until I felt I was in the clear. I have yet to be tested again to see if more antibiotic treatment is necessary, but if it is I will most likely use Amoxycillin if not a more natural approach.
only thing that worked My first major flare-up was triggered by sex after a UTI. I probably went to the doctor 5-6 times getting different antibiotics for the infection b/c it felt like it wasn't going away, it was only getting worse. The last couple of times they weren't able to detect a UTI, so they referred me to a urologist and she confirmed that it was IC, not a lingering infection. She wanted to do a cystoscopy to rule out cancer, but I hadn't heard anything positive about the procedure in the forums so I was disinclined to shell out the $1500 for the proper diagnosis. At this time my symptoms were pretty severe. It was on my mind all the time. Sitting for long periods made it worse, but nothing seemed to make it better. Sex was out of the question and I often worried that I'd never have sex again. All in all, a pretty miserable experience which went on for about 3 months. After seeing the urologist and realizing that she couldn't really help me, I turned to the antibiotics b/c at least some people were getting help from them. I had noticed that my IC symptoms would get better after the UTI antibiotic treatments but then would get worse a couple days after stopping them. If I took the proper antibiotics for a longer period of time it seemed like it would work or at least offer some measure of relief when taking them. I ordered augmentin from an online pharmacy that I found at drugbuyers.com, probably clickdrugs or medsmex. I didn't bother asking the doctors for a prescription as this wasn't the standard course of treatment. I think the urologist was more apt to put me on pain pills indefinitely than give me weeks worth of antibiotics. I can't remember what the dosage was, but I remember taking them for 3 weeks to a month. The side effects do start to catch up with you (disorientation/depression), but my symptoms had cleared up pretty well when I stopped. I remember my symptoms improving after a few days and then gradually over a few weeks.
Didn't work for me.
not at all helpful It did not work for me at all, I didn't get any side effects from it but over all it was a waste of time.
so far its hopeful! I had strep d show up on UML broth culture after nothing showing up for years (due to use of elmiron) I started augmentum and amox rotated one in teh morning the other at night and its working for the flare up. Although I also have Lyme, its nice to know that the bacertia that is commonly found with IC patients finally showed up and now I can kill it all off with the right meds.
OK Still ongoing but this a last ditch attempt to clear repeated urinary infectins ongoing for 8 years, on Augmentin now for a further three months, clear at the moment


text: Emotions ran high Saturday as thousands of family and friends turned out to welcome home members of the National Guard 1457 unit and other soldiers and troops returning from the war in Iraq. Even though many of the troops will follow at the end of the month, they were honored and remembered. Parades through Helper and Price drew large standing-room only crowds as the bands played and children presented programs. People waved flags, sobbed with happiness and pride and held each other tight as the mayors of each city welcome the men home to Carbon County.

Like most curators, I'm always on the look-out for interesting stories and things that capture public interest. So it won't be much of a surprise to find I've been watching and reading Call the Midwife by Jennifer Worth. Call the Midwife chronicles the work of the author as a midwife in the East End of London in the 1950s.
As you would expect we have a large collection of objects relating to midwifery and obstetrics. The piece of kit that caught my eye during the TV serialisation of the book is the foetal stethoscope.
Used to listen for a foetal heartbeat, this piece of equipment is a far cry from the electronic heartbeat monitoring that is sometimes used in hospitals today. Thank you to Charlotte Walker for pointing out that the Pinard stethoscope is still in use today.
But how could midwives prepare themselves for the different birthing scenarios might arise? Obstetrical phantoms were one way and hands-on experience the other.
When presented with a difficult birth, midwives dealing with home births in the 1950s often called in for the local doctor, but everything was done either through sound, touch or sight.
For women today, there is a wide variety of choices when it comes to childbirth – home delivery, water births or hospitals. There is also a choice for women as to what equipment is used. What would you collect now, to show the experience of childbirth today in 50 years time?

POTSDAM - Hundreds of government representatives spanning five counties began filing into a capacity filled Barrington Student Union at SUNY Potsdam shortly before noon on Tuesday, to listen to touted economist and professor Steven G. Horwitz present The Five Economic Ideas Everyone in Local Government Should Know.
Mr. Horwitz, who has authored two books and been a frequent contributor on CNBC, Fox Business and Bloomberg, spent his presentation offering advice and ideas on how to manage a successful local government. The keynote address accompanied a lunch that was served during the 22nd annual Managing Local Government Conference at SUNY Potsdam.
Dr. Horwitz is a Charles A. Dana Professor of Economics and department chair at St. Lawrence University.
Dr. Horwitz warned local government officials the presentation would consist of some less than ideal advice for how to run a successful local government.
Im going to be something of a downer today. Im going to talk about lessons in humility. I thought it would be interesting to talk about five economic ideas that everyone in local government should know,
The leadoff economic idea was entitled, Prices are Incentives Wrapped in Knowledge. The economist pointed out that despite people often thinking the contrary, prices are not simply just numbers. He said that prices and the act of buying and selling are forms of communication among one another. He related this concept to the price of gasoline.
We see that gas prices are $3.69 here is Potsdam and $3.59 in Canton. When we see a price like that, what does that mean? What does that number mean? That number is a product of an ongoing conversation of sorts between buyers and sellers, Mr. Horwitz said.
That price has a meaning and communicates with more information. It also provides incentives for people. We know that when the price of gas goes up to $4 a gallon we start thinking twice. ... We start thinking on the margin. We start to adjust our behavior in important ways.
The next piece of Dr. Horwitz presentation, Its Always a Comparison to the Alternative, focused on different situations where one seemingly difficult circumstance is compared with another one that may be worse than the other option.
Dr. Horwitz talked about the economic art of seeing the unseen and how economists frequently go through the comparison process.
Asking that question, asking the compared to what question is one of those fundamental insights that economists have. Another application of this is sometimes you hear people say, Well, you know its too bad that Hurricane Sandy did so much damage on the east coast and Hurricane Katrina did so much damage on the gulf coast. Then theyll pause for a second and say, But you know, its not all bad. After all you are going to have rebuild all of that stuff in New Jersey or New Orleans and thats going to put people working and thats going to be demanding construction materials.
Well thats a good thing isnt it? he said. An economist is going to say, Well wait a second, are you suggesting that if this is a good thing we should go around burning down American cities so we could boost the economy by rebuilding it?
Dr. Horwitz argues that despite some other beliefs, situations like Hurricane Sandy do not boost the economy. The resources used in the rebuilding effort could instead be used for other kinds of things.
The third piece of advice from the speaker was Local Isnt Necessarily Better. Dr. Horwitz noted that in some cases buying local is better, but the main thing that will help the economy is if consumers buy the best products at the best possible prices.
One reason for that is if I can find something cheaper on the internet than locally, the money I save there I can actually spend locally on something else. In other words, Im better off. Ive got both the thing I want cheaper and something else, he explained.
Even with big companies like Walmart, one thing we have to remember is that theyre local too. The 400 people that work in that Walmart on Route 11, thats our community. The people who manage it are our community as well. So part of buying local often means buying from chains. The best message that you can send to people to improve local economies is that you tell people to buy the best product you can at the best price. Thats what going to help put the pressure on local businesses to be the best that they can.
Creating Jobs is not Creating Value was the penultimate talking point raised by the economist. Its easy to create jobs. I could create tons of jobs in St. Lawrence County right now, Mr. Horwitz said.
He claimed that in a struggling economy, creating value, not creating jobs should be the primary focus.
Its not about creating jobs. Its not about creating work. Its about creating value. In fact, what good economies do is in some sense destroy jobs, jobs that we dont need any more. The more we can produce without using human labor, the better off we are, Dr. Horwitz argued.
For example, 100 years ago, about 40 percent of Americans were engaged in agriculture in some form or another. Fast forward to today, that number is less than 2 percent. We destroyed tons of agriculture jobs. Yet our farms are more productive than theyve ever been and we feed more people than we ever have before.
Before concluding his presentation, Dr. Horwitz talked about his last subject, Living Wages (and Zoning and Licensing Laws) Prevent People from Making a Living.
You cant make people more productive by forcing people to give them a higher wage. Minimum wage laws are minimum productivity laws. It basically says, You wont get hired unless you can produce this much. But what about the people who cant produce that much? They would get hired if we didnt have minimum wage laws, Dr. Horwitz said.
He concluded that the more hoops that people trying to get a job have to jump through the more difficult it will be for them.
Dr. Horwitz wrapped up his talk by sharing some advice with town and village elected officials.
The people who elected and appointed you are just like you. Theyre smart, theyre creative and they find ways to create value. They can find ways to create jobs, they can find ways to create wealth for the fellow citizens, he said.
Its often the case that what we need to do is just to give them those opportunities to release that and to give them the chance to show what they can do. The north country is full of creative, smart, entrepreneurial people, and I think if you give them the chance they can create a really vibrant regional economy.

text: Hello everyone. We recently adopted Ginger from our local shelter. Most people says she's either a Pit mix or a Boxer mix, but some people have said she does have Boston Terrier and Catahoula similarities. We don't exactly care either way but are curious to what you all think. The shelter labeled her as a Boston Terrier/Black Mouth Cur. They say she's 2 months old, and I'm guessing she weighs maybe 4lbs. Her belly is round because she's being treated for worms.

Scaling Up with Integrity – What does it mean for Fairtrade?
Twenty-five years ago fair trade began as an ambitious concept that many said would never take off. The global Fairtrade system now represents over 1.3 million farmers and workers organized into more than 1,100 groups in 70 countries. Recently Fairtrade farmers and workers became half owners of the global system.
Fairtrade farmers now view themselves as integral to local economies and development; individuals who unite their actions through their organizations. For these producers, and those who work with them, growing their market is essential to improving their livelihoods and that of their communities.
Working with upwards of 3000 companies across the globe, Fairtrade has been ahead of the curve in recognising the key role that the private sector can play in wider development and working to enable it. A recent report from the High Level Panel of the UN on the post 2015 development agenda (PDF) cites the private sector as a vital partner in driving "a quantum leap forward bringing an end to extreme poverty and improving livelihoods."
The private sector also has the responsibility within their sphere of influence to implement human rights, decent working conditions, and environmental protection, among other things.
A commitment to scaling up Fairtrade's impact with integrity requires walking a line between socially and environmentally responsible production, and enabling trade that ultimately benefits producers, workers and their communities. Over the years Fairtrade has learned valuable lessons about meeting the often-conflicting needs of the private sector and disadvantaged producers. Growth can solve problems, but can breed others if core human rights are not considered.
Fairtrade has seen farmers take shortcuts with organic certification, turn to bad labour practices under pressure to meet deadlines or cut down forest to increase production. Fairtrade has also confronted significant human rights abuses. Fairtrade producer communities are not immune to the difficulties faced across the developing world, and indeed the developed world. Power dynamics can manifest themselves at every level, from cooperative boardrooms to the lives of individual farmers and workers
"This is a long, difficult journey. Fairtrade is not a sugar coated pill. Every day, we are dealing with the realities of centuries of oppression, none of which will be solved overnight," said Harriet Lamb, CEO of Fairtrade International.
"Finding the right balance between facilitating trade, development and compliance is a sometimes difficult and arduous task that requires continuous improvement and fine tuning."
To ensure we scale up responsibly, Fairtrade has dedicated increased attention and resources to the human rights and freedoms promoted in the core ILO Conventions, which are included in Fairtrade standards as minimum or core requirements. In particular, Fairtrade takes an uncompromising stance against trafficking, worst forms of child labour, sexual harassment, and discrimination of any kind.
Controlling compliance with the Fairtrade Standards is conducted by FLO-CERT, an independent, ISO-65 certified company. ISO 65 is the leading internationally recognized quality norm for bodies operating a product certification system. FLO-CERT follows the norm in all certification operations and is subject to external audits of the German Accreditation body DAkkS.
"Effective certification combines rigorous processes, risk assessment, and skilled auditors," said Ruediger Meyer, CEO of FLO-CERT. "The biggest challenge is monitoring – no certification body can be on-site 24/7, which is why trustful relationships with producers and traders are crucial. By working together closely, we can minimize risks that can occur within supply chains."
FLO-CERT auditors are experts in their field. They are familiar with the local and sector-specific realities they are facing on-site. They are also conscious of the elements in the Fairtrade Standards that carry the highest risk for non-conformities. Auditors receive regular training on identification and response required to mitigate those risks. Content and documentation of these trainings are included in the auditing process of FLO-CERT's ISO 65 accreditation. In addition, FLO-CERT maintains an auditor rotation policy; an auditor cannot be assigned more than three consecutive times to the same Fairtrade client.
Any non-conformity in the area of a core Fairtrade Principle, such as those embedded in the core ILO Conventions, can lead to suspension and ultimately decertification. In 2012 FLO-CERT suspended a total of 141 producer organizations and 41 traders, with 35 and 12 decertified, respectively.
There are strict and transparent allegation procedures in place and every allegation is followed up by the FLO-CERT Quality Management department according to a standard operating procedure. Depending on the severity of the allegations made, FLO-CERT conducts a document check, includes the topic into the next regular audit or conducts an unannounced audit to investigate the allegation.
The challenges faced by farmers and workers in developing countries go beyond the scope of any certification system. Fairtrade International is building expertise in various programme areas that can affect farmers and workers across all products and developing global strategies to help the most vulnerable.
In addressing Child Labour issues, Fairtrade has adopted a children-first approach and works with experts and producers to go beyond the minimum requirements to improve real conditions for children and young people. We are building knowledge on trafficking patterns in areas of known risk and supporting producers to put preventative measures in place. When we find breaches to our child labour requirements, we take immediate action to protect children. We prevent the impacted farms using child labour from entering the Fairtrade system, and support them and their communities to tackle the problem. We are consulting with children and young people in Fairtrade communities to develop continuous improvements in the way we tackle this problem, making sure that we do not create new problems for children and young people involved in unacceptable labour practices.
Following the adoption of our ambitious Workers' Rights Strategy in 2012, a full review of the Hired Labour Standard is being conducted to improve compliance with ILO Conventions and better empower workers on plantations so that they can make effective use of their rights, including the right to organize and bargain collectively. The vision of our Workers' Rights Strategy is to promote fairness and dialogue in the workplace through mature industrial relations between workers, their unions and employers. As part of the expansion of the strategy to cover workers on small farms, we are actively gathering knowledge and information across our multi-stakeholder system, speaking directly to workers, male and female, and diligently working to better understand the complexities that accompany our wide range of commodities, countries and contexts to be able to inform our Standards and auditing process.
"Growth with integrity means growing Fairtrade while taking into account all of the values and norms that are part of Fairtrade. Growth can never be at the expense of others," said Marike de Pena, Vice Chair of the Fairtrade International Board, President of CLAC and Director of Banelino, a Fairtrade certified, small producer organization in the Dominican Republic.
More than ever, we remain convinced that Fairtrade is still the best option to address unfair trade terms and the rights of disadvantaged populations in international trade.

Video: Food 2 Families a Huge Success!
Because of your generosity, our annual Food 2 Familes food drive was another huge success! On Friday Western New Yorkers from all walks of life brought food and cash donations to Tops Markets all across the area.
WEB EXTRA: Food 2 Families photo gallery
The food was taken to the Food Bank of Western New York to be weighed, sorted, and packed. From there it will be distributed to needy families for the holidays and year-round.
Food Bank of WNY president and CEO Marylou Borowiak expects this year's collection to be a record-setter.
Last year, 97,000 pounds of food was collected.
Volunteers are still weighing donations from the six main Tops locations, but donations from the 2 On Your Side Weather Machine food drive and little brown bags of hope collected at outlying Tops stores total 57,000 pounds.

By Jeff Zillgitt, USA TODAY
LONDON - Lack of height and suspect defense were the U.S. men's basketball team's primary concerns coming into the London Olympics.
It almost cost the Americans the gold medal.
Playing its best game in the Olympics, Spain used fabulous guard play and its size advantage to gave the USA its biggest scare.
However, the USA outlasted Spain 107-100 Sunday and won its second consecutive gold medal in a game that turned out to be closer than expected.
The USA, which won a tight 99-94 game against Lithuania in group play, didn't wilt under the intense pressure.
Kevin Durant's three-pointer with 6:25 left in the game gave the U.S. a 93-86, its biggest lead of the second half until that point. The Americans led by just a point heading into the third quarter, but used offense and defense to pull away late in the fourth quarter.
It was reminiscent of the 2008 gold medal game, in which the U.S. won 118-107 but led by just two in the fourth quarter. It was another fabulous game by Spain, regarded as the second-best team in the world.
Seven-footers Pau and Marc Gasol and 6-10 Serge Ibaka gave the U.S. trouble, in part because Spain's guards, who have been inconsistent in London, came to play.
Juan Carlos Navarro's outside shooting opened up room for the Brothers Gasol and Ibaka. However, Spain played with half of the second quarter and all of the third quarter without Marc Gasol who picked up his fourth foul in the second quarter. Spain coach Sergio Scariolo inexplicably left him in the game when he collected his third foul.
To its credit, Spain didn't let the U.S. run away with Marc Gasol on the bench. But it didn't have enough to contend with the USA's offensive firepower.
The U.S. has won 14 of the 16 gold-medal games in which it has played and is now 130-5 in Olympic games. The U.S. has now won 17 consecutive Olympics games and have furthered distanced itself from the bronze-medal debacle at the 2004 Athens Olympics.
Not coincidentally, the U.S. turnaround in this decade began when Jerry Colangelo took over as USA Basketball's chairman in 2005, stabilizing the program by naming Mike Krzyzewski coach and securing long-term commitment from the USA's best NBA players.
This U.S. may not have been as good defensively as the 2008 gold medal team, but defensive deficiencies were minimized by unmatched offensive weapons.
The ability of LeBron James, Chris Paul and Deron Williams to create open shots for themselves and others, namely Durant, Carmelo Anthony and Kobe Bryant - made it near impossible for an opponent to stop the U.S. from scoring. The Americans scored at least 90 points in every game, more than 100 points in six and punished teams with its three-point shooting.
While the rest of the world has closed the gap in 20 years since the 1992 Dream Team at the Barcelona, James, Bryant, Anthony, Durant, Deron Williams and Chris Paul ensured the U.S. is still the best.
Earlier Sunday, Russia beat Argentina 81-77 for the bronze medal. It was the Russians' first Olympic basketball medal since 1988 when the Soviet Union won gold. That was the last Olympics before professional basketball players were allowed to compete.

BUFFALO, NY - Adell Ziegler is prepared to stand trial for animal cruelty later this month.
The 19-year-old is accused of using lighter fluid to set a Jack Russell Terrier puppy on fire last fall. The puppy, now known as Phoenix, was seen running in a field on Herman Street in Buffalo by a neighbor.
Prosecutors handed over audio cassettes that are said to contain jailhouse phone conversations between Ziegler and the man who owned Phoenix at the time of the crime.
Diondre Brown, 17, has already pleaded guilty felony animal cruelty for his role as a "lookout" when the Ziegler allegedly set the puppy on fire. Prosecutors say Brown will testify.
Ziegler's attorney E. Earl Key wouldn't rule out a plea, but says his client is ready for trial before Judge Russell Buscaglia on April 25.
Phoenix is now 14-pounds and growing as a normal puppy, according to Judy Bunge, veterinary tech caring for the animal. He could be put up for adoption in a couple of weeks.

A Winter Garden man convicted in the Christmas Eve 1975 murders of his wife, his in-laws and a fourth victim, has once again been denied an effort to test DNA on evidence that helped put him on death row.
Tommy Zeigler's 37-year fight for vindication appears to be nearing its end, as the Florida Supreme Court on Thursday ruled it had already decided that the DNA evidence – even if it shows what Zeigler claims it does -- would not have likely led to his acquittal.
The court ruled 6-0 that Zeigler is using "variations of the same arguments he made in his previous motion for DNA testing in 2001" and, since the court had already denied those claims, he is barred from asking again for essentially the same relief.
Zeigler, 67, remains on death row at Union Correctional Institution.
Investigators claim he shot himself after murdering his three family members and a man who happened into the store, part of a scheme to obtain life insurance proceeds.

I'm sitting here on Sunday trying to come up with some inspirational thing to write about this week and I am drawing a blank. You'd think with the recent elections and the departure of Rumsfeld that I would be moved to write something, but I'm not.
I was encouraged by the outcome of this year's mid-term vote that maybe our country would like to be more in the middle than too much right or left, but we will have to see if those that we voted in will really speak for us or honor the money that helped get them there. To me it feels like it has been a long time since the voters have really been heard, I am a bit skeptical on the idea of a whole "new era" experience.
We have seen the undoing of many outspoken individuals in the past few years who have tried to set a moral agenda while secretly living another standard. I would bet there are still going to be a few more scandals in the coming years. Since the Democrats have stepped back into the spotlight, I won't be surprised to see some heads roll in that party as well.
So how can I get too stirred up until there is something really different to write about?
I also feel pressure to come up with something sparkling as I had several people come up to me at this year's Soroptimist wine tasting event and tell me how much they enjoy reading my column.
So, now, naturally, I can't come up with a single thing to say.
Many people said they hadn't heard much about my grandkids lately. We have had them living here for over a year. We are into a good routine now and they are doing great. I'm finally getting used to taking out the dolls and boats from the tub before a shower. I have only stubbed my toe once in the past two months on the stool that is parked in front of the toilet.
The little one is getting big enough to play on her own during the day and so I can get more done. She talks constantly now which is both good and bad. I know what she wants and needs, but when I don't listen she will repeat herself at least a million times until I acknowledge her. "Me too" is her biggest demand now and she is game to try any thing.
The older one is back in school and that means I am back to sitting in the little chair twice a year to hear about her progress. I have already been informed that I make her take out the garbage daily because I am a bit lazy. After a talk about the values of everyone in the family needs to help out, we got that straightened out.
So life goes on in its own strange way. Here I am close to what amounts to a column and I still haven't really said anything.
I hope you all voted this year. Those of you that didn't vote should quit whining. For the rest of us, let's hope that we will find a way home from this war with some good resolve and that we will pass laws to help the environment, the poor, and the rest of society.
And here's to new inspiration for next week's column.

Bob Carpenter Center Web Site | Bob Carpenter Center Photo Gallery
The University of Delaware men's and women's basketball teams will begin their 21th season in the $20.5 million, 5,000-seat Bob Carpenter Center Acierno Arena during the 2012-2013 season.
The Blue Hen men have posted a record of 167-88 (.655) in the building entering the 2011-12 season, including christening the arena with a 77-69 win over rival Rutgers Dec. 1, 1992. The Blue Hen women own a record of 169-75 (.693), including a 74-53 win over Temple in their BCC debut Dec. 1, 1992. The UD women have won 70 percent of their conference games in the BCC (115-51).
The Blue Hen men's basketball team especialy has enjoyed outstanding success at the Carpenter Center since beginning play here in 1992-93 and have established a strong homecourt advantage.
The Bob Carpenter Center served as the site of the America East Men's Basketball Tournament for six years from 1996 until 2001 and as site of the Colonial Athletic Association Women's Basketball Tournament in 2006-07 and 2007-08.
The arena section of the building is named in honor of Frank E. Acierno, a local businessman and developer, who donated $1 million to the Bob Carpenter Center, the largest gift from a single donor. The BCC was formally dedicated in a ceremony Nov. 10, 1992.
Delaware basketball teams moved to their new home after competing at 3,000-seat Delaware Field House since 1967.
The Bob Carpenter Center is the center of an expansive collegiate athletic complex, the David M. Nelson Athletic Complex named in memory of the former University of Delaware athletic director, dean, and head football coach.
The complex includes 22,000-seat Delaware Stadium, the home of the nationally-ranked Fightin' Blue Hen football team; the new $3 million Fred P. Rullo Stadium, a 2,000-seat lighted ActionTurf field for field hockey and lacrosse that opened in September, 1998; Delaware Field House, an indoor track and practice facility which had a new surface installed in 1995; 2,000-seat Bob Hannah Baseball Stadium; numerous athletic fields; the Delaware Ice Skating Science Development Center; and an outdoor swimming pool.
The Bob Carpenter Center served for the first time as headquarters for the National Basketball Association Philadelphia 76ers pre-season training camp in October, 1995 with the team drawing large daily crowds, including a sellout crowd of 5,000 fans for the final scrimmage. The Sixers also held their pre-season camp at the Bob Carpenter Center in 1996 before moving to alternate sites.
The Bob Carpenter Center, named in honor of longtime University board of trustee member, athletic benefactor, and former Philadelphia Phillies owner R.R.M. "Bob" Carpenter Jr. who died in 1990, serves as home for the University's football and basketball programs as well as a site for a wide variety of other events such as convocations, concerts, and banquets.
Special features of the facility are a 120-person football locker room, men's and women's basketball locker rooms, administrative offices, the state-of-the-art Chuck Hall Memorial Weight Room, and athletic training rooms.
Directly accessible to the locker room areas are three classroom meeting areas and a 120-seat lecture hall used for team meetings, classes, and press conferences.
The Bob Carpenter Center also includes a comfortable glass-walled reception lounge area, the Bob Carpenter Club, with views into Delaware Stadium and to the Acierno Arena; and a scoreboard with a color video message center. The original wood floor was a 203-panel tongue-and-groove 60-by-112 foot maple arena floor, the same floor used for the 1992 NCAA Division I men's basketball championship game in Minneapolis. The floor was replaced prior to the 2006-07 season.
The facility was designed by the architectural/engineering firm of Hellmuth, Obata & Kassabaum Inc. of Kansas City, Mo., one of the top firms in the country.
Also involved with the project were local firms Tevebaugh and Associates of Wilmington, and Landmark Engineering Inc. and Healy Management Services Inc., both of New Castle.

Comments about Tokens & Icons Colorado Avalanche NHL Authentic Game-Used Jersey Wallet:
Okay, I'm writing this cause while shopping and considering this wallet I could only find a handful of reviews for these. I went out on a limb and bought one anyways. I'm a DIEHARD Avs fan, and I figured I would celebrate the return of Roy as coach by getting this wallet. :P Plus my old wallet was 15 years old anyways. Lol
Anywho, This wallet is very fine quality. The box it comes in is nice and says NHL Game Used Authentic on it. The leather feels nice and soft and smells great... always a good sign. I love the subtleness of the team logo stamped on the outside. The jersey itself on the inside is exactly what you would expect. Amazing to know that this was on the ice on and with some of your favorite players. I do think the cut of the jersey is different for every wallet, so your might not line up exactly like what you see in the picture. Mine is a little off center... but I actually like that. :) I will love using this wallet for years to come and hopefully it will bring my boys some luck as I sit on it watching many many games. GO AVS!

WADDINGTON ESPN2 is drawing fire from residents who were unable to watch Sunday mornings broadcast of the Bassmaster Elite Series Evan Williams Bourbon Showdown on the St. Lawrence River.
Resident Matthew D. OBryan got up early on Sunday with his wife and three sons to watch the presentation of the Bassmaster tournament from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. on ESPN2. But due to scheduling delays, Mr. OBryan found himself watching the second half of a girls softball game instead.
Fortunately for Mr. OBryan, he, like some other residents, had upgraded his cable package for $8.99 a month to get the ESPN Classic channel, and he was able to catch the 10 a.m. to noon showing on there. People who had access only to ESPN2 missed seeing the event.
Those of us who already live up here bought the channel because they are proud of their hometown, Mr. OBryan said. But for those fishing fans from elsewhere who get up every Sunday morning to watch their favorite fishing show, they moved on to something else. They will never know. Thats the disappointing part of it, really.
To further complicate matters, even though the events main stage and launches took place in Waddington, the show was listed and presented as taking place in Ogdensburg. Evan Williams Bourbon, the events sponsor, also was not listed.
I am hoping that the powers that be will do what they can to change that, Mayor Janet M. Otto-Cassada said. Whoever is responsible, I doubt anything was deliberately done. Besides, Ogdensburg is our neighbor, and we want them to benefit from this just as much as us.
Robert J. Giordano, event coordinator, said he has informed Bassmasters about the situation.
Its one of those things that happen in the marketing world, Mr. Giordano said. Its happened before. The way I look at it is, this is all for the north country. We let the right people know about this, and we are trying to correct it.
The two-hour spot on ESPN2 is reportedly the equivalent of $2 million in advertising for the region, according to organizers.
We dont think this will hurt us, Mrs. Otto-Cassada said. We still got advertising for the region, even if we didnt get the credit, which was the goal, anyway.
The show is expected to run twice on ESPN2, Mr. Giordano said.
Contractually, under an agreement with B.A.S.S., ESPN2 is required to air the show two times, he said. B.A.S.S. is still working that out with ESPN.
The show will air at 6 a.m. Sept. 9 A second airing has not yet been set.
Its something that B.A.S.S. is aware of and were working with ESPN to correct, Michael Mulone, Bassmasters director of events and tourism partnerships, said.
Requests for comment from ESPN and its affiliates were not returned Monday.
