Seven countries, 21 culinary creations, unique oenological treasures, and one sole winner: the best food and Sherry pairing
Jerez de la Frontera, 18th of September 2013. - On the 15th of October the city of Jerez de la Frontera will play host to the most important international event dedicated to Sherry and gastronomy. Seven teams, made up of some of the finest chefs and sommeliers from different restaurants across the globe, together with renowned experts from the world of gastronomy, will gather at the Jerez de la Frontera Hospitality and Catering School for the eagerly-awaited International Final of the Copa Jerez.
Their objective: to produce the most harmonious food and wine pairing with a menu of two courses and a dessert which are individually combined with Sherry or Manzanilla.
The jury will comprise some of the most prominent names from the world of food and wine: Josep Roca, sommelier and co-owner of El Celler de Can Roca; Doug Frost, one of only three people in the world to have been awarded the status of Master Sommelier and Master of Wine; Jose Carlos Capel, the renowned food critic; Angel Leon, chef of the Aponiente and one of the most important figures in Andalusian cuisine; and Ronan Sayburn, the Master Sommelier who currently runs the prestigious Dorchester Collection UK chain, which owns the restaurants led by Alain Ducasse and Wolfgang Puck.
Seven countries in search of the perfect pairing
After two years competing in each of their respective countries, the finalists come to Spain ready to demonstrate their knowledge of Manzanilla and Sherry and their unique culinary talents. Germany's representatives are Berlin's First Floor restaurant (with one Michelin star) led by chef Karina Appeldorn and sommelier Maria Rehermann; Belgium's team is formed by chef Jelle Cattelein and sommelier Hannes Desmedt, from the Hertog Jan restaurant, which is renowned for having the youngest team ever to be awarded three Michelin stars, something they have achieved in just five years; Denmark is represented by the Clou restaurant, with chef Jonathan Kjølhede Berntsen and sommelier Alexander Kjølhede Berntsen; Spain's team is formed by Angel Luis Vellon, who will prepare the menu, and Ivan Torres, who is responsible for selecting the wines at Madrid's Il Bambino restaurant; the United States is represented by chef Scott Jones and sommelier Melodie Reynolds, from the No. 9 Park restaurant in Boston; Holland's team comes from the Inter Scaldes restaurant(with two Michelin stars) with chef Paul de Groote and sommelier Koen Van der Plas; whilst chef Kevin Tew and sommelier Andrea Briccarello from London's Galvin La Chapelle restaurant will be representing Great Britain.
The world looks at Jerez
Following the success of the four previous editions, the Copa Jerez celebrates its 5th International Final, secure in the knowledge that it has become one of the most prestigious competitions on the international culinary calendar, and this year's edition incorporates new features which will help to increase its international reputation even further. The organisers are preparing a complete programme of activities which involves all the bodegas in the denomination of origin and some 150 different brands of Sherry. Some of the region's most illustrious names from the worlds of wine and gastronomy will be taking part and more than 500 professionals from the sector are expected to attend.
At the same time, experts and enthusiasts from all over the world can follow the event live online through the www.sherry.org website and share their impressions on the social networks. It is expected that some 50,000 people will watch the various activities via the different online platforms.
The International Copa Jerez Food and Wine Pairing Competition

Rogers announces iPhone rates in Canada
We've known for awhile that Rogers would be bringing the iPhone 3G to Canada, but we didn't know what kind of plans would be offered. Well, the wondering can stop because Rogers has just posted a website detailing all the service plans and features you can get for your iPhone in Canda, and how much it'll cost you.
As you can see from the above chart service plans start at $60 (Canadian) and go to $115. Interestingly, there is no unlimited data option which might cause trouble down the road when you load up your iPhone with lots of heavy network using 3rd party apps.
Check out Rogers' page for all the details.
Thanks to everyone who sent this in.

Three Cheers for Chocolate

From Cocoa Bean to Grocery Shelf
The cocoa manufacturing process, according to Emily Korns, a registered dietitian and Manager of Health and Science Communications at Mars Inc., involves the following:
- Pod breaking
- Bean fermenting
- Bean drying
- Bean cleaning
- Bean roasting
- Bean winnowing
- Nib grinding
- Liquor pressing
- Cake alkalizing
- Cake milling
Unfortunately, some of this lengthy process takes away from the bean's natural health benefits. For instance, careful bean fermenting is necessary to develop the best chocolate flavor, but "significantly reduces the amount of flavanols," says Korns. "Unfermented beans contain the highest level of flavanols, but they taste bitter, without any chocolate flavor."
Flavanols are also lost during the bean-roasting process, since the high temperatures destroy them. Interaction with other ingredients, such as carbohydrate- and protein-containing ingredients, during batch processing also reduces flavanol content.

Frivolous Things, a film co-directed by Kathi Barnhill (MA '14), Walidah Muhammad (MA '14) and Joe Jowers (MFA '15), made its U.S. premiere at a recent fundraising event at Old Salem for Kybele, a non-profit humanitarian organization dedicated to improving childbirth conditions worldwide through medical education partnerships. The film follows a Kybele medical team as it works to improve conditions in the neonatal intensive care unit at a leading regional hospital in Ghana. The film made its Canadian premiere at a similar Kybele fundraising event in Toronto in May.

Google Cultural Institute Hosts Filipino Street Art Project
Drawn together by a shared passion for public art, DFP alum (MFA '13) Kim Dryden and Wake Forest alum Austin Smith, a Filipino-American, formulated the idea for the Filipino Street Art Project before graduating in 2013. Both were attracted to the idea of taking a public art form and amplifying its impact through online media forms. The project consists of a feature-length documentary film, interactive website, online exhibits, short films, and photo galleries supported by a central website. A short year later their transmedia project and its mission of celebrating the power of street art to communicate, empower, and encourage discussion about universal issues is attracting international attention.

DFP Faculty News
We want to let all members of the Documentary Film Program community know about some exciting changes happening at the DFP. After many years of dedicated service, Sandy Dickson is stepping down as director in order to develop storytelling initiatives involving the DFP. Cindy Hill and Cara Pilson will now handle administrative and overall programmatic matters as co-directors of the program. Sandy will continue to teach and advise thesis films and creative projects.
We are also delighted to report that Peter Gilbert was recently promoted to Full Professor of Practice. He is the first faculty member at Wake Forest to hold this position.
We believe these changes will allow the DFP faculty to offer an even stronger academic, creative and professional experience to our students.

Just when you thought all was quiet on the Left to Right front.
We're happy to share that The Left to Right Movement is working with John Mertens for U.S. Senate 2010. John is running as an independent representing Connecticut. Giulia Gouge of SheSoSocial and Amy Desmarais and Andre Yap of Ripple100 are in the L2R team working with John and his volunteer corps. We met John during Social Web Week CT, and immediately converged on the opportunity based on shared vision and values to move his campaign left to right (no pun intended).
Far beyond a campaign for votes and donations, our Left to Right movement for Mertens 2010 focuses on the following:
Build awareness for a third party candidate who is starting from scratch, without any machinery and very limited funding.
Engage disaffected citizens who have grown cynical of politics as usual in a very different political process, one that invites people from all walks to participate, listens to what they have to say, engages them in dialogue, and identifies and facilitates constructive ways for sustained involvement in democracy.
As with Social Web Week CT, mix results-oriented community organizing and grassroots groundswell with a generous dose of online social media and technologies to create a "social web, where mighty things can be dared and achieved in days that would have taken years." (Excerpted from The New Haven Project: 100 Common Visions in 100 Days) Indeed, here we have barely 100 days to election day when we jumped in.
As our first milestone, and very much reflective of the social web dynamics of the campaign, we are happy to announce the opening of Mertens 2010 campaign office. Please visit and stay a while, speak up as often and any time you like: www.mertens2010.com.Stay tuned for ongoing updates on our Left to Right Movement for Mertens 2010.
Our Left to Right gang just spent the last 6 weeks moving the meter on Social Web Week CT.
Seems almost quaint to look back to Wed, May 27 when we first hatched the idea and organizational plan, named it Social Web (vs. Social Media) Week, hashtagged #swCT, to the crowds we drew and grew at Bru every Wednesday without fail, to the week finally coming through and seeing vision turn into action into impact - not just attendance, but the sheer energy of all 30 events in 7 days, and now the spillover and sustainability that tells us, confirms to us we have indeed started a movement. Whew!
Today we're back at Bru to follow up on 2 #swCT items:
Politics. We've been approached by 2 candidates - one for US Senate, the other for US Congress - both attendees of our #swCT Tuesday foray into Campaign 2.0 about doing L2R for their respective campaigns. We talked about the long-tail economics that's worked so well in biz and how it's a question of how, not if, it can be applied to political campaigns, very much in synch with our L2R groove. Is the Left to Right Movement coming to a political campaign near you? Stay tuned, or better yet join us!
Marketing for Marketers. We're going to follow up on action items coming out of our #swCT Wednesday event, which drew marketers from all over CT, and their considerable energies. As one of us said, our #swCT gig easily outhustled and outnumbered a similar one they had in Internet Week NYC. Stay tuned, or better yet join us!
Today at Bru Cafe Noon to 1pm.
Marketing is Ask & Offer. What are we asking you to do? What are we offering you so you'll want to do it? Ask & Offer are key as we launch full-on into marketing Social Web Week CT July 10 to 16 in New Haven.
Ask & Offer is also key in understanding the ins and outs of the Left to Right Movement. A&O is very different depending on where you are left to right. With 23 days to kick-off, we'll be focusing the next 3 weeks on the following left to right sequences:
Awareness & Buzz for the week and each of the 7-Day themes. The Ask: click this link and share it. The Offer: with so many links and articles being passed around, the cursory twitter or facebook link to www.socialwebct.com or to one of the themed days (e.g., Friends & Family Sunday), just won't cut it. It's not enough of an offer. Find a hook - a good story, a personal or unexpected twist, drama, fun, bloopers. That's how you preface the link and get people to click and share.
Attendance for each of the 22 events (and counting). The Ask: click this link, mark the date on your calendar, be there! The Offer: the lure of the great topic or the star panelists, right? At best, maybe. There are so many great topics and star guests out there - you're likely just adding to that noise if you can't rise above that din. How about this as an offer: who else is going? and what are they excited about? In other words, comment streams that show (literally with pictures) who's going and what they're all buzzed up about. E.g., twitter streams - as you see, we've already added them to the site. When you tweet about swCT events, try doing these 2 things: 1) tell us why you're excited about it; and 2) use #swCT hashtag so, follow you or not, we can all see and benefit from your thrill. (For example)
Advocacy from attendees to their networks (phone, email, twitter, facebook, etc.). The Ask & Offer: Ah, it's part and parcel of our Left to Right discipline to take the movement in steps. This week we'll focus on Awareness, Interest, Attendance as above. The bridge to Advocacy - as important as it is to convert every fan into 5, 10, 15 more - we'll cross when we're nearer. Left to Right is a marketing discipline - in a world of so many great ideas and cool technologies, how do move the meter in the ways that matter?
P.S. if you're wondering about episodes 2.2 to 2.3, we cut them as video shorts below. The last 2 weeks of L2R we spent with the swCT crew hammering out events and logistics. After all, without the event, there is no event marketing. From hereon to finale Wed, July 14 it will be all marketing all the time.
Disclaimer: These are notes; they're one way to think about marketing with results. They're not the only way. Have your own ideas? Share your comments here, or submit a post (see gray sidebar on the right). We'd love to hear from you!
Key quesiton from @JoeCascio. Answers coming soon. What do you think? Feel free to chime in.

Giulia, better known as SheSoSocial, talks about one of Saturday's kick-ass kick-off events for Social Web Week CT. In a word: yum!
Good question, Sherry (aka Retail Goddess). Answers coming up in this week's take on #swCT (Episode 2.2 of Left to Right Movement)!
Jack and Andre talk swCT in relation to GoogleHaven, a social web enabled community campaign to make New Haven Google's choice as pilot city for 100x faster internet.
From James Grace, here's the latest on Bru Café's left to right movement.One week ago this past Friday, Jaymes Grace of JaymesGrace.com sat with Bru Café owner Curtis Packer to discuss what had been happening with Bru and to find out what Curtis was interested in seeing happen going forward.Lots of discoveries in that meeting. They spent most of three hours together. From that discussion, Jaymes Grace and Curtis agreed to include the "Culture of Bru" as a main focal point in it's marketing. Bru has a strong connection to the New Haven community thru local art and music and the creators of such. It was decided that Bru's marketing plan will include the new emphasis on available delivery Monday through Friday and bring in the cultural side for the evenings and weekend.Also equally important, Jaymes discussed with Curtis the need for a consistent brand. The one thing Jaymes is insistent upon in marketing is "Don't send a ransom note!" Do not make your marketing message look like it was cut and pasted from various magazines with no clear conveyance of how to find you. Curtis agreed and they right then and there decided on two logo's. The Andy Warhol style color logo which can now be found on Bru's new Fanpage and the black and white scroll for packaging and black and white printing.Next up was a meeting with Bru's co-owner, Bill Readey. Jaymes and Bill got together a few days later. By then Jaymes had put in place Bru's Fanpage and linked it to their twitter and set-up a temporary new background on twitter. Jaymes also had begun inviting over friends from their profile page. As of this writing, 232 friends admit to liking BruCafe NewHaven. Bill shared with Jaymes ideas that he had, but did not have an opportunity to implement. Most were tied in with the music/cultural defined aspect of Bru. There also was a creative marketing piece that Bill had created that Jaymes agreed could find its way into Bru's marketing plan.Jaymes Grace is finishing up Bru's marketing plan this week and will sit down with owners Curtis and Bill of Friday to discuss. Next week you will get to see what is in the marketing plan. One thing that is not in it is the extensive fax list that was left behind by the previous owners. Bill Readey who has been with Bru before it was Bru, confirmed that that list was too dated. So he and Jaymes agreed to scratch it and start again.We all know it would be better to delete that old XL file or even worst – that list of email addresses or fax numbers that we've all accumulated about 5 years ago. None of whom you've even attempted to contact since before the advent of Twitter. And while we had the courage to hit delete if we could also empty out that old shoe box of business cards that you one day will never get around to. So kudos to Bru for the all around fresh approach. See you next week.
Seven days later, here are 7 things we know:1. Social Web Week will be an annual CT event, hosted on a rotating basis in various cities.
2. The first annual Social Web Week CT will be in New Haven from Saturday, July 10 to Friday, July 16.
3. Social Web Week @ New Haven will feature an anchor theme/event each day, each a showcase of how social media and technologies are currently being used in various aspects of life in CT. Here are the daily themes:
Saturday kick-off with Food & Nightlife
Sunday Friends & Family
Monday Tech & Startups
Tuesday Sectors - Biz, Nonprofits, Media, Community
Wednesday Marketing
Thursday For a Cause
Friday wrap-up with Connecticut
4. Social Web Week makes social media and technologies accessible to everyday people, by showcasing how they are currently being used for a diversity of everyday activities in CT.
5. Social Web Week is also about people - we will bring together those who are active in CT social media, from bloggers to Tweeps, so we can get to know each other and come to a better understanding how we can work together for a better CT.
6. We will use a dedicated blog (out shortly) and Twitter hashtag #swCT.
7. Among other targets, we want to draw national attention and media coverage from the New York Times.
To point #4, Social Web Week is really a natural extension of our vision for the Left to Right Movement: to make the social web more useful to people who run businesses, nonprofits, events, political campaigns and the like - by showing in a live reality show format how social media and technologies can be used to, as we say, move the meter.
Join us for office hours as we move Social Web Week left to right. Wed 06.02.2010 12-1 at Bru Cafe. This is Left to Right Movement Episode 2.1, finale slated for Wed 07.14.2010.

This is as real as reality show gets.
Halfway through office hour yesterday, somewhere between weekly update for Left to Right Movement 1.0 (Bru Cafe) and logistics for case study 2.0 (New Haven Symphony), timetables came up.
At the current pace of one episode per week, our 2.0 finale is headed for a date with the July 4th holidays. No way.The finale has to happen the following week of July 5. Turns out New Haven hosts several social media happening that week, so much so that brilliant minds were starting to dub it "social web week".
A vision was emerging of the whole (social web week) being more than the sum of its parts (disparate events all with social web components).
A vision was emerging of the whole (social web week) being more than the sum of its parts (disparate events all with social web components).
That's when aha happened. Why not Social Web Week as case study 2.0? 1.0 was a business, 2.0 would be an event, 3.0 a nonprofit. Each a live showcase of how to move audiences left to right, each a serialized reality show of weekly episodes leading up to finale (Awareness & Engagement week 1; Trial & Acquisition week 2; Retention & Lifetime Value week 3; Advocacy week 4; entire Left to Right Movement, aka finale, week 5). Timing looks exquisite. Summer is an "events" zeitgeist, followed by Fall re-openings, just in time for the New Haven Symphony's new season…
Social Web Week it is. The idea is to have anchor events each day - each event a showcase of various fixtures of the social web scene as they play into life in New Haven and CT. Stuff like #GoogleHaven, #Tweetcrawl, #pubcrawl, #pcCT, #Festival15, #BeerHere, and of course #L2R.

Join us for kick-off of Left to Right Movement 2.0 Social Web Week @ New Haven Wed, 06.02.2010 nn to 1:00 pm. Venue TBD. Go #swCT!
Jaymes Grace and Paul Malafronte are leading our left to right charge with BruCafe! Good things happening as we reconvene for office hours as usual Wed 05.26.2010 @ noon - where else but at Bru.
Preview the exciting movements through Twitter #L2R, or join us live. With Bru on the move, we've already begun discussing our next case study - a nonprofit this time. Stay tuned, announcing soon.
Left to Right Movement continues this Wed 05.19.2010 with office hours open to the public. We're at Bru Cafe again starting 12NN, reviewing last week's group dump. Goal is to submit a body of recommendations that owners Curtis and Bill can implement to move Bru's takeout audiences left to right:Starting left with Awareness
Moving them onto Interest
Getting them to Try & Repeat
All the way right: Advocacy!
Implementation notes:
As you can see, Left to Right is a movement in many ways. Join us.

3D-Modeling Data of Vagina Gets Japanese Artist Arrested
Megumi Igarashi's "pussy boat."
The next frontier of obscenity battles is upon us. Japanese artist Megumi Igarashi was arrested on Monday for sending a link to 3D-modeling data of her vagina—meaning, that with a 3D printer, anyone could make prints of her genitalia. According to the Japanese police, this constitutes obscenity.

Conservationsists at a swannery in Dorset have discovered a novel way of stopping crafty foxes breaking in and killing birds: boring them away with Radio 4, reports i. The "crafty" foxes have learned to swim around the fences at the edge of the swannery so staff, on the advice of a local farmer, set up radios and blast the foxes with the likes of The Archers, You & Yours and the Today programme. It works a treat, apparently. "It was a farmer who put us on to Radio 4," said swanherd Dave Wheeler. "In his words, Radio 4 is so boring that foxes won't go near it."

Shop Talk: Conifer Closes, Oakland Vintage in SF, and More Retail News
Bringing you the latest in retail therapy around the Bay Area.
Indie fashion lovers will be sad to hear the news that the impeccably curated boutique Conifer in Cow Hollow is shutting its doors. The silver lining? The 3-year-old store will remain open 24/7 over at conifershop.com. "The location has always been the main challenge because we are off the beaten path of Union Street and many steps up a hill," explains owner Amy Mautz of the Webster Street locale. "Online has grown over the last few seasons, so the timing couldn't be better."
Meanwhile, there are some exciting openings to talk about. Oakland's much-beloved vintage store Pretty Penny has set up shop on the corner of Guerrero and 24th Street (in the former Watermelon Sugar Salon space). Check out the venue's Facebook page for updates on new secondhand arrivals.
Another local shop expanding its reach is designer sample sale emporium Cary Lane, which is celebrating its fifth year in business with a third location, in the Inner Sunset, this spring. Once we get the exact opening date, trust that we'll share it here.

New Type of Cosmic Ray Discovered After 100 Years
ScienceDaily (Oct. 16, 2012) — Using the European X-ray astronomy satellite XMM-Newton(1), researchers from CNRS(2) and CEA (3) have discovered a new source of cosmic rays. In the vicinity of the remarkable Arches cluster, near the center of the Milky Way, these particles are accelerated in the shock wave generated by tens of thousands of young stars moving at a speed of around 700,000 km/h. These cosmic rays produce a characteristic X-ray emission by interacting with the atoms in the surrounding gas. Their origin differs from that of the cosmic rays discovered exactly a hundred years ago by Victor Hess, which originate in the explosions of supernovae.

Urban Experiments
Workaround: In current version of Panels 3.8, it seems this body field needs to be populated in order for title above to appear. This note is hidden by custom CSS style. Jack Latimer.
According to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) we have now entered the 'urban millennium', with more than half the world's population now living in cities. This is of great significance for research on socio-cultural change because cities have tended to be sites of novel mixing and innovation, contestation and diversity, as well as for the display of hierarchy and symbolic authority. Cities concentrate, display and accentuate difference, diversity, inequality and trends in politics, providing opportunities for social and policy experiment and more spontaneous forms of social organisation. In this sense cities are social experiments in action.
However, despite the apparently common experience of urbanisation, we need to be careful in the ways that we treat this phenomenon: not all cities are the same and despite common trends in the movement of people and goods under the impact of 'globalisation' the experience of different groups in different cities can clearly be highly variable. There are obvious physical differences between cities on the level of size, structure and geographical location, wealth, the quality of existing infrastructure and so on. There are also more intangible cultural differences, both in the broadest sense but also at the more specific level of institutional memory and long-term experience of particular governmental problems. At the same time, despite these differences, it is clear from our research that cities old and new actively seek to learn from one another in order to address what they perceive as common or at least complementary problems. In order to understand the impact of urbanisation and the nature of urban life in cities old and new, large and small, we need to carry out empirical research that is both comparative and historical, able to engage with commonality, continuity and difference across time and space.
In the first period of research in Urban Experiments we concentrated our focus on two strands of research, city cultures and city materialities, maintaining particular interests in the material and cultural manifestations of difference and attempts to shape mobility through the urban environment. In the final year of CRESC we continue to pursue an interest in these dimensions of urban life, but we also want to continue the work we have already begun on drawing together the material and cultural aspects of the city and explore the ways in which these different facets are inter-related. We pursue this research through projects on urban ecologies, particularly on the role of water in the city as it is developing in different ways across the globe, and on the question of sustainable cities ranging from transport infrastructure to recycling and public health. We are also developing new interests in urban security and its histories, charting not only the ways in which cities present particular security problems for individuals and government, but also the ways in which cities have been shaped through security concerns.

CRESC's Sophie Watson discussed David Harvey's new book Rebel Cities on BBC Radio 4's Thnking Allowed on Wednesday 4th July at 4.00.
Tue, 08/05/2012
CRESC and the Whitworth Art Gallery have joined forces to develop a programme of activities for Manchester schools in support of our 2012 annual conference, 'Promises: Crisis and Socio-Cultural Change.'
'Primary Promises' involves 10 schools from the city in a summer of artistic activity, visits and workshops, which will culminate in an exhibition at 'Promises' in September.
The first event was held at the Whitworth on 2nd May, and involved teachers from local primary schools, the gallery's artistic co-ordinators and CRESC staff working together to develop an activity pack for KS2 children on the theme of 'A Vision of Future Manchester'.
The pack is inspired by two of the Whitworth's current exhibitions. Firstly, Victor Pasmore: Transformations, is a series of abstract images by the influential British painter and architect that include the lush, impressionistic topography suggested by Il Labrinto della Psiche (1986) (above), and, secondly, Building on Things: Images of Ruin and Renewal which includes images such as 'Tower of Babel' by Anne Desmet, and work by Cyprian Gaillard and Giovanni Piranesi.
Over the weeks to come, children will be involved in devising maps and plans of the city of tomorrow, exploring the idea of urban promises and be invited to design their own 'Promises Cube' - a six-sided vision of Manchester's future. The maps and finished cubes will be used to create a collaborative installation that represents the voices, visions – and promises - from children of the participating schools.

In the month of June Urban Experiments held its first two cross cutting theme workshops on city cultures and on city materialities. Stimulating discussion took place around a group of papers which at the City Cultures workshop included Michelle Bastian's paper on 'Transition Towns ', Mark Jayne's paper on 'Worlding a city: Twinning and urban theory'and Alban Webb's discussion of cinematic representations of disaster threats to the city at the city cultures event. At the City Materialities workshop the papers included Francis Dodsworth and Sophie Watson's paper on 'Shaping Religious Community in East London' and Evelyn Ruppert's discussion of 'Methodological Experiments' illustrated by her bollards project, while others described their new research projects.
Over 25 members in total attended from across the CRESC research themes, and new connections and synergies in urban research began to emerge. We are pleased to see that the new Urban Experiments 'experiment' is now fully launched following the annual lecture by Professor Andrew Ross on 'Is Urban Sustainability possible in the Age of Climate Justice', the launch of the New Companion to the City (edited by Gary Bridge and Sophie Watson), to which many CRESC members contributed chapters, and we look forward to developing more connections and research agendas at the cross theme CRESC Annual Conference on 'Framing the City' in September. Three new CRESC working papers from Urban Experiments have also been published in recent months.

The New Blackwell Companion to the City, edited by Gary Bridge and CRESC's Sophie Watson is reviewed in today's Observer by architecture critic, Rowan Moore, todether wth Living in the Endless City, edited by Ricky Burdett and Deyan Sudjic. 'Certain themes', notes Moore, 'emerge from both books, such as a suspicion for simple over-arching solutions, horror at inequality and division, support for intelligent public transport systems over super-highways driven through poor neighbourhoods.'

We would like first of all to offer all those who took part in this year's first ever CRESC Photography Competition our very sincere thanks. The standard was incredibly high and we were surprised at the sheer volume of entries we received. Having said this, we did feel that two photographs in particular most closely matched the brief and these were Wing Yin Chan's 'Ordinary morning in Spring' and Adam Swann's 'Bolton Ex-Victoria Mill'. Congratulations to both photographers on capturing such wonerful images, we look forward to meeting both at the opening of the CRESC Annual Conference on 6th September 2011.
Wing Yin Chan - 'Ordinary morning in Spring' (1st Prize)
Isle of Dogs, the East End peninsula of London, is one of the most divided districts in our capital. While the affluent, glamorous banking area Canary Wharf is merely 10 minutes walk away, life is close to the bread line behind these poorly-insulated windows. Many struggle silently, day after day.
Having the district as its backdrop, this image captures an ordinary moment of minimal urban life. It aims to serve as a reminder of the social divide in our society, an inconvenient truth we can no longer afford to deny.
'Bolton ex-Victoria Mill' by Adam Swann (2nd Prize)
This is the only remaining part of Victoria Mill, Horwich near Bolton, Lancashire, built in 1903-04. The mill was operated by W T Taylor (1848-1925) who were the "the largest manufacturer of towels in the British Empire" and the second largest worldwide. The mill remained in use until 2007 when it was demolished and the doorway still stands on its own.
I did not know about the mill and its history when I passed it in February 2008 and stopped the car to take this picture. Inside the doorway of the ex-mill, the fading orange afternoon light evokes a human presence and the activity happening within the now demolished walls in times gone by. In the distant background the Reebok football Stadium in Bolton marks the contrast between the new and the old, showing what comes to replace grand old mills like this one when they are sadly gone.

The annual CRESC lecture at SOAS in London given by Professor Andrew Ross from New York University attracted an audience of around 100 people from across the UK. Andrew Ross, who is Professor of Social and Cultural Analysis and author of many publications including:
- Nice Work If You Can Get It: Life and Labor in Precarious Times (NYPress, 2009).
- Fast Boat to China: Corporate Flight and the Consequences of Free Trade-Lessons from Shanghai (Pantheon, 2006; Vintage, 2007).
Professor Ross gave a lecture entitled : Is Urban Sustainability possible in the Age of Climate Justice? Ross' lecture provided a clear overview and critique of the different positions and politics of environmental social theory and politics. Through the notion of middle class environmental apartheid- 'eco-apartheid'- he subjected current eco initiatives to close scrutiny and critique. Drawing on an ethnography of arguably one of the most environmentally damaged cities of the USA- Phoenix, he exposed the serious implications of extremely rapid urban and suburban growth, and the failure of market and governmental responses to it. Though largely a pessimistic account he concluded with identifying nodal points where positive changes and initiatives might occur in such spaces of environmental degradation. Notable here were the responses and involvement of the local indigenous community in water issues.
Following the lecture Professor Stuart Hall launched the New Blackwell Companion to the Cityedited by Gary Bridge and Sophie Watson. He commended the breadth and range of the book which comprises 65 newly commissioned essays including 6 essays of reflections by the authors. The volume also comprises contributions from 10 CRESC researchers and affiliates.
During his talk Professor Hall described the contents of the six sections: City Materialities, City Mobilities, City Affect, City Divisions and Differences, City Publics and Cultures, and City Politics and Planning, and drew attention to the international range and scope of the essays, particularly the engagement with urban questions in China and India. Hall's view of the book chimed very strongly with the concerns of CRESC, when he commended the vigorous interdisciplinarity of the project, at the same time as stressing the importance of the different traditions- sociology, history, cultural studies, geography, and political economy- from which it draws. Hall identified the urban turn as an important feature of recent work in social and cultural theory and interdisciplinary study, which, although not his own central concern, he could see provided a valuable lens through which to explore socio-cultural change.

Eve Sussman Creates Special Project, "Elevated Train," To Benefit Creative Capital
Eve Sussman is a 2008 Visual Arts grantee for her project whiteonwhite:algorithmicnoir, a fanciful blend of filmmaking, video and digital technology that follows a central character—an anonymous geophysicist code writer—who is stuck in a futuristic city. Its experimental narrative runs endlessly, driven along by the digital decisions of custom-built algorithmic software that edits the film in real time. It has no beginning, middle or end, never repeats the same editing sequence twice, and has its scenes and voiceovers paired at random by what the filmmakers call "the serendipity of the machine."
When Eve agreed to create a limited series for Creative Capital's 2012 Benefit & Auction and said she was thinking of combining some version of a stereoscope with black-and-white photography, we were intrigued and, well, surprised. Continue reading

I really could not believe how the web picture made this elephant look flat on top, but it is not flat!! It is a high quality carving!!!
Everything was correct and delivered on time. Thank you
I bought this as a Christmas gift for a co-worker who collects elephants. It was received in great condition and the handcarving was good. My one and only complaint about it is it had a terrible odor! I don't know what they used to 'finish' the elephant - it probably should have been left in it's 'natural' state instead of adding finish. It smelled terrible!

Assange Statement on the First Day of Manning Trial
"We no longer need to comprehend the "Kafkaesque" through the lens of fiction or allegory. It has left the pages and lives among us, stalking our best and brightest. It is fair to call what is happening to Bradley Manning a "show trial". Those invested in what is called the "US military justice system" feel obliged to defend what is going on, but the rest of us are free to describe this travesty for what it is. No serious commentator has any confidence in a benign outcome. The pretrial hearings have comprehensively eliminated any meaningful uncertainty, inflicting pre-emptive bans on every defense argument that had any chance of success.
(…) The government has prepared for a good show. The trial is to proceed for twelve straight weeks: a fully choreographed extravaganza, with a 141-strong cast of prosecution witnesses. The defense was denied permission to call all but a handful of witnesses. Three weeks ago, in closed session, the court actually held a rehearsal. Even experts on military law have called this unprecedented.
(…) In the end it is not Bradley Manning who is on trial. The trial of Bradley Manning ended long ago. The defendant now, and for the next 12 weeks, is the United States government; its arrogant, vengeful military, its deferent courts and its captive press. They sit in the docks. We are called to serve as jurists. We must not turn away."

WALLA WALLA, WA - For years Walla Walla's Blue Mountain mall was a place for locals to shop. But when the stores closed after business dropped those doors never reopened. But that's all about to change.
For many Walla Walla residents finally seeing things moving forward at the Blue Mountain Mall will be a sign of progress for their entire city.
The mall used to house shops like Gottschalks, Troutman's Emporium, and Sears. By 2012 when the mall was bankrupt those stores vacated and the empty buildings were left behind. Now new owners hope to get the place up an running later this year starting by bringing stores into the already existing and eventually building new structures to house even more shops. Long time resident Ray Quinn told NBC Right Now he can't wait to see what the re-opened mall will do to for Walla Walla.
"I think now with someone with a good business plan and with the situation having been settles legally as I understand it, I think it's and excellent sign that Walla Walla is really going to push forward and develop that way," said Ray Quinn who has lived over 30 years in the city.
The site of the mall is now surrounded by roadways that the city has since expanded which Quinn thinks will make for better traffic in the area and bring more customers to the stores. He hopes overall the city will expand in that direction and make the area a real shopping destination.

Well … Eternal and I are both guardians, but our powers are kinda different from each other …
I believe he can do much more things than I can, though I'm not aware of all of his abilities. I'd need to ask him.
Besides I'm only taking care of the trees …
I guess you just can't compare us very well …

Made It Ma!
Rewatching it now on DVD...and I knew this would happen...it doesn't hold up. Without the big screen this movie's weaknesses are exposed. The acting is terrible, the script is super awful, and the cinematography is uninspiring. The Dark Knight held up, The LOTR films held up, but Avatar is a mess. I thought it was wanky when it was in theaters, but was entertained...it's officially bad.

Fall TV: What happens in 'Vegas' stays on CBS
On first glance, you might be tempted to think CBS is resting on its considerable laurels as television's ratings monarch: There's nothing you could point to as particularly groundbreaking about the smattering of new shows offered for the fall. On the other hand, CBS has gotten where it is in recent years through a relatively […] [Read More]

What I Do When I'm Not Writing by C.J. Box
"Fly-fishing is a lifelong pursuit where one never actually perfects the skill but hopefully improves through time."
To herald the publication of his suspenseful new Pickett novel, Breaking Point, I asked Box to tell us what he likes to do when he's NOT writing the next Joe Pickett adventure.
When I'm not writing (or doing writing-like things) I'm fishing. Fly-fishing, to be more specific.
Sure, I do all the standard household stuff and engage in plenty of other outdoor pursuits – hunting, skiing, hiking, camping – but the older I get, the more my passion grows for fly-fishing. Thing is, I'm not sure I'm all that good at it and I don't know if I ever will be. Like golf -- from what I understand – fly-fishing is a lifelong pursuit where one never actually perfects the skill but hopefully improves through time.
Fly-fishing, unlike the bait-fishing or spin-casting I used to do, is an active sport. There's no sitting on a bank watching a bobber or trolling behind a boat. One must be completely in the game to read the water, select the right fly, and make a proper cast. You are of the water and the fish and the conditions, not just putting up with them. It is harder than fishing with spinning rods and I likely catch far fewer fish. But when I do, when I'm able to entice a big trout to take my fly and put up a fight, well, there is nothing quite like it.
Over the years, I've amassed a ridiculous – but not unusual among fly-fishers – amount of gear. Rods are like crack cocaine to a fly-fisherman, and I have dozens of them from willowy three-weights for small trout to fourteen-weight bruisers that can and have landed thirty-pound tuna and mahi-mahi in the ocean. I also have a drift boat and a raft for Rocky Mountain rivers. Best of all, my wife and I own a cabin on the bank of a river (and my own fishing pond) where I've been able to attain my life's dream: never having to break down the rod and put it back in its case.
