Red apple, caramel, peach.
This sweet, rich coffee launches with caramel and fruit aromas then plunges into flavor notes of red apple, florals, and sweet peach. Delicate acidity and velvety body pair up with a hint of baking spice as it cools.Like a spiced caramel apple in a cup!
Victor has been involved in coffee since he was 10 years old, and grew up helping his dad and brother on the family farm. At 28, he took over the family business, and now at 38, his passion for coffee only increases. Together with his oldest son, Victor has been working to change the management and varieties at La Fraternidad.
This is the last year that Victor will be growing this pacamara variety, as he is renewing the plantation with bourbon and geisha varieties. The owner of Theodore's Coffee says, "I have enjoy visiting the Venturas, as they are one of the most welcoming families I know. I love their cooking and appreciate their friendship very highly."
In the southwest corner of Honduras, hard on the borders of Guatemala and El Salvador, we find the Ocotepeque region. Here mountains are cloud-shrouded, volcanic soils lend their coffee-friendly nutrients, and microclimate coax the best out of the beans.
Specialty grade coffee in Honduras has traveled a long and difficult road. In 1998, just as a small number of coffee farmers and exporters were finding their way into the American specialty coffee market, Honduras was devastated first by hurricane Mitch, and then by the storms and floods of 1999.
In addition, most of the country's coffee is produced by smallholders. Lack of infrastructure means many process and dry their coffee themselves and mix these small lots together to sell to exporters. It sounds neighborly, but the results can be disappointing. However, this scenario is changing, bringing an explosion of quality coffees from Honduras to coffee lovers worldwide.
Darwin Pavon founded Theodore's Coffee in 2014, after years working in Honduras collecting soil samples from farmers' fields in a push to create fertilizers for stronger growth and yield. Each Honduran coffee imported for Theodore's is sourced from a friend of Darwin's in the ultimate Direct Trade relationship. Pavon says,
Every coffee you buy from Theodore's helps support The Micah Project, in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, where young men and boys who have grown up on the streets or in extreme poverty are trained in leadership and healthy life skills. Pavon has a strong passion to support The Micah Project, as he was an original Micah's resident who 'made good'.
"At Theodore's our passion is to bring to you superior quality coffee, serve you with excellence and create loyalty from you to our products and services in the coffee industry."

Ivan Illich Quotes
Ivan Illich was born on September 4, 1926, to Ivan Peter and Ellen Illich in Vienna, Austria. His father came from an aristocratic and Christian family; his mother's family was Jewish. His childhood was spent growing up in the homes of grandparents and wherever his parents might be at the time. His father's career as a diplomat politically protected the Jewish members of his family during the 1930s; yet Ivan was classified as "half-Jew" in 1941 and his family secretly fled from a Hitler-controlled Austria to Italy. In Florence at the age of 15, his father and grandfather having died earlier from natural causes, Ivan began taking care of his mother and younger twin brothers.
He entered the University of Florence where he majored in chemistry. At the age of 24 he graduated from the University of Salzburg with a Ph.D. in history on the work of the popular historian Arnold Toynbee. He prepared for the priesthood at the Gregorian University in Rome and became ordained in 1951. It was here that he met Jacques Maritain, the Catholic philosopher, who was to become his mentor and lifelong friend. Through him, Illich discovered the ideas of Thomas Aquinas and built a Thomistic philosophical foundation for understanding the world.
In 1951 Illich came to America hoping to study at Princeton University, but his interest quickly changed. On his first day in New York he heard through casual conversations about large numbers of Puerto Ricans migrating into other ethnic neighborhoods. After spending a couple days observing and visiting with them he asked to be assigned to a Puerto Rican parish. In his ministry he sought to make them feel at home in their new country by reinstituting their cultural and religious traditions. He sought to have Spanish materials made available to the children. His popularity among the Puerto Rican community grew and after just five years, in 1956, at age 30 he was made a monsignor and accepted the position of vice-rector of the Catholic University at Ponce in Puerto Rico.
During the decades of the 1950s and 1960s Illich continued his work within the church, yet his commitment often brought him into conflict with those in and outside the church who had different agendas. While in Puerto Rico, and later in Mexico, he threw himself into the study of education and was outspoken in his criticisms of formal schooling. He ridiculed the notion of development in U.S. programs such as the Peace Corps, believing that such volunteer programs damaged not only the people in Latin America but the volunteers themselves. He claimed that the Alliance for Progress was an alliance for the middle classes, and he questioned the motives of missionaries who came to him for further study. He refused to withdraw support from a politician who advocated birth control. He withdrew from his role at the Vatican Council in protest over its political timidity. In essence, he sought de-institutionalization of the church. In 1967 he was summoned to Rome before the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. He refused to answer their questions. Six months later Rome moved against him with documents he claimed were cribbed from U.S. Central Intelligence Agency reports leaked to the Holy See. At that point Illich voluntarily suspended himself from the priesthood, although he never resigned nor was he removed from the priesthood. He insisted that neither his faith, morals, nor theological views were at variance with the gospel and that they were orthodox, even conservative.
Recognizing that Puerto Rico was perceived largely as a U.S. puppet, Illich moved to Cuernavaca, Mexico, in 1961 and established there the Center for Intercultural Documentation. The focus of his work remained unchanged as he sought to establish a bridge linking the two Americas and to train individuals for religious work in Latin America. By the mid-1960s the institute through its research seminars was attracting worldwide individuals concerned with social and economic issues. Illich viewed the center as a place for free, committed, and disciplined intellectual inquiry, yet many participants viewed it as an unstructured forum for political expression. Although still attracting students and economically sound, the center was not accomplishing its original purpose. Therefore, in 1976 it was closed.
The next several years Illich traveled and studied oriental languages and culture with the dream of writing the history of Western ideas in an oriental language. Subsequently, believing the task to be too great, he returned to an old intellectual home, to the study of 12th-century philosophy. Here, while teaching at the University of Marburg in Germany, he sought to find a fulcrum for lifting contemporary people out of their socially-constructed, conventional perspectives and out of a worsening world situation. He sought to enable them to understand how their commonly viewed reality (what is taken for granted or as certain) was historically constructed and can be changed. In the early 1990s Illich taught part of the year at Pennsylvania State University and continued to reside in Cuernavaca, Mexico.
Illich became known as a brilliant satirist and critic of contemporary institutions. In the early 1970s he called for a reexamination of existing social institutions. For example, he argued that schools are a lottery in which everyone invests but few win. As a result of perceived failure, those students who don't succeed in schools are stigmatized and suffer discrimination. In contrast, he proposed to correct this unjust situation by de-schooling society and thereby making it impossible to discriminate on that basis. Later, his thought penetrated to new depths when examining the professions, particularly the medical profession and how it leads individuals to become dependent and to assume less responsibility for their own lives.
In the 1980s Illich's thought shifted and again reached new levels of analysis. He stated that changes in our current situation can be attained if individuals "awaken" to the fact that each person's understanding or perspective of his or her world, a world that each of us takes for granted and as certain, is seen as being formulated and handed down over the centuries. Such conventional perspectives lock individuals into certain solutions and prevent recognition of new ways of living in the world. For example, in his work ABC: The Alphabetization of the Popular Mind he shows how our way of thinking has made three shifts throughout time. The first shift that changed our ways of seeing resulted from the introduction of the alphabet. A second shift in our thinking came in the 12th century with the development of the written page as we moved from an oral public and a spoken reality to a written reality and a literacy paradigm. And finally, the computer and word processing have created a new watershed of change in which our thoughts were increasingly arranged more by the logic and efficiency of a technical tool than by the natural meanings embodied in a live discourse and spoken tradition.
An extensive six hour interview titled Part Moon, Part Travelling Salesman: Conversations with Ivan Illich was broadcasted by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in 1989. Transcripts and this highly informative dialogue can be ordered from Ideas, P.O. Box 6440, Station "A", Montreal, Quebec, H3C 3L4.
A major political article by Francis Duplex is Gray, including biographical information, "Profiles," appeared in the New Yorker (1969). A discussion of Illich's writings was in Contemporary Authors, New Revision Series, Volume 10. Articles critical of his view included "The 'Deschooling' Controversy Revisited: A Defense of Illich's 'Participatory Socialism," by Carl G. Hedman in Educational Theory (1979); "Towards a Political Economy of Education: A Radical Critique of Ivan Illich's Deschooling Society" by Herbert Gintis in Harvard Educational Review (1972); and "Illich, Kozol, and Rousseau on Public Education," by Jonathan Kozol in Social Theory and Practice (1980). A selected list of major works by Illich which trace the development of his thought included: Celebration of Awareness: A Call for Institutional Revolution, introduction by Erich Fromm (1970); De-Schooling Society (1971); Tools for Conviviality (1973); Medical Nemesis, the Expropriation of Health (1975); and ABC: The Alphabetization of the Popular Mind, with Barry Sanders (1988).

Why Are We The Good Guys?
Reclaiming Your Mind from the Delusions of Propaganda
by David Cromwell
Publication date: September 2012
Pages: 317
ISBN: 978 1 78099 365 2 Paperback
Can a corporate media system be expected to tell the truth about a world dominated by corporations? Can newspapers, including the 'liberal' "Guardian" and the "Independent," tell the truth about catastrophic climate change - about its roots in mass consumerism and corporate obstructionism - when they are themselves profit-oriented businesses dependent on advertisers for 75 per cent of their revenues? Can the BBC tell the truth about UK government crimes in Iraq when its senior managers are appointed by the government? Has anything fundamentally changed since BBC founder Lord Reith wrote of the establishment: "They know they can trust us not to be really impartial"? Why did the British and American mass media fail to challenge even the most obvious government lies on Iraqi weapons of mass destruction before the invasion in March 2003? Why did the media ignore the claims of UN weapons inspectors that Iraq had been 90-95 per cent "fundamentally disarmed" as early as 1998? This book answers these questions, and more.
"One of the beacons in a politically dark world is the light cast by a moral few who analyse and reveal how journalism works in the cause of power. David Cromwell has pride of place in this company. Every member of the public and every journalist with an ounce of scepticism about authority should read his outstanding book."
John Pilger, journalist and documentary maker
"This book is truly essential reading, focusing on one of the key issues, if not THE issue, of our age: how to recognise the deep, everyday brainwashing to which we are subjected, and how to escape from it. This book brilliantly exposes the extent of media disinformation, and does so in a compelling and engaging way."
Mark Curtis, author of Web of Deceit and Unpeople
"Propaganda is something they do; news what we do. They commit terror; we seek to create stability. Our enemies are inhuman; we, only too human, occasionally demonstrate our fallibility. David Cromwell brilliantly exposes the daily lies our media feed us to reassure us that we are a force for good in the world, while our governments, militaries and corporations are free to rape and pillage weaker nations and the planet. This book is an invaluable antidote to the conditioning that all those living in the west are constantly subjected to."
Jonathan Cook, author of Disappearing Palestine
Cromwell displays his unbending commitment to follow the facts wherever they lead. Asks the questions about "our" leaders that polite society and the mainstream media will not go near. An indispensable tool of intellectual self defence.
David Miller, co-author of A Century of Spin, co-founder of Spinwatch, Professor of Sociology at the University of Bath.
"David Cromwell knows that media power works by acting on consciousness; by shaping our individual sense of values, identity and belonging to normalise the mores of the powerful. This creates the collective false self of a 'we' that controls the hammer of violence, leaving more violated empathy and senselessness in its wake. How do we wake up from the frozen awareness of such psychic numbing? Understanding the drivers and techniques of media power is a good starting point. This is what Why Are We The Good Guys? sets out to do, and valiantly so."
Professor Alastair McIntosh, author of Soil and Soul
"Part memoir, part media critique, Why Are We The Good Guys? is also an eye-opening survey of "things they don't want you to know". If you've ever been curious about Media Lens, Britain's most radical media monitoring group, co-founder David Cromwell explains how it came about and produces examples of its polite but in-your-face approach to dealing with journalists. A valuable account of an invaluable project."
Milan Rai, activist, co-editor of Peace News and author of War Plan
An Interview with David Cromwell from Green Left Weekly
How an activist fathered a media critic
Is this the most controversial book of the 21st century?
A feature article in the Southern Daily Echo
Morning Star
In his essential 1995 book Taking the Risk Out Of Democracy, Australian social psychologist Alex Carey notes that it is "an axiom of conventional wisdom that the use of propaganda as a means of social and ideological control is distinctive of totalitarian regimes."
However, disconcertingly, Carey explains that propaganda is "likely to play at least as important a part in democratic societies - where the existing distribution of power and privilege is vulnerable to quite limited changes in popular opinion - as in authoritarian societies, where it is not."

Before reaching the actual text, the title of David Cromwell's latest book denotes an effective piece of radical art in posing the simple, probing question: Why Are We the Good Guys? As co-editor of Media Lens, the book's subtitle is no less appropriate and invitational: Reclaiming Your Mind From the Delusions of Propaganda.

The Hindu
David Cromwell has, often in collaboration with David Edwards, become an authoritative analyst of the Anglophone mass media; his latest book will strike a chord with many who think about the corporate media's content and methods, not least millions worldwide who have found that if they question an established order the media largely suppress or exclude their voices.
Cromwell discovered this early. At junior school, he voted Communist in a mock election, but his teacher said Labour had won anyway, and she would not count the Communist vote.

I struggled with this book review. I struggled to find something to disagree with or to suggest an improvement. This is a tremendously comprehensive review of all the ways in which mainstream Western media distort our view of reality in the key context of foreign affairs. With a particular emphasis on the Middle East but with good historical depth rooting understanding in US policy after World War II, Cromwell does an excellent job of organising a wide range of evidence, neglected by our media, yet fundamental to any meaningful understanding of our deeply embedded bad faith. The bad faith, which enables our media and many of its consumers to think that we are 'the good guys'. This is an ideal introduction for any reader and, also, is a very useful source for students in schools, colleges and universities. Flaws? I found one! When you've finished with this excellent book, go on to read Edward Said whose 'Orientalism' will deepen your understanding of how 'The West', including the liberal academic elite, is imbued with discriminatory biases regarding Arabs and Islam. ~ Dr John Robertson, Reader in Media Politics, University of West Scotland.

New Left Project
Since 2001, David Cromwell, his co-founder David Edwards, and their supporters and subscribers, have been attempting to "correct for the distorted vision of the corporate media", by which we all gather information about the world. This distorted vision has its own strange declension, in which "we" have a government, while "they" have a regime; "we" intervene, "they" attack; "we" act in accordance with values, while "they" pursue interests and ambitions; and so on.
The "good guys" in question, in case you were wondering, are not Media Lens themselves, but the West, or more specifically the US-UK-NATO bloc, and the elites of the global North, prepared to sacrifice the prosperity, lives, and the very possibility of existence of billions of people in their pursuit of power, wealth and resources. In common with two previous Media Lens books,[1]WAWTGG features further reports from Cromwell and Edwards' encounters with, in the words of Edward Herman, those representatives of "experts and the mainstream media" whose function it is "to normalize the unthinkable for the general public".[2] There is, in these reports, a focus on the big themes that feature in most of Media Lens' work: the wars in Afghanistan and and Iraq; military adventures across the Middle East; climate change; and the financial crisis.

Guardians Of Power
The First Media Lens book, published in 2006
Can a corporate media system be expected to tell the truth about a world dominated by corporations? Can newspapers, including the 'liberal' "Guardian" and the "Independent," tell the truth about catastrophic climate change - about its roots in mass consumerism and corporate obstructionism - when they are themselves profit-oriented businesses dependent on advertisers for 75 per cent of their revenues? Can the BBC tell the truth about UK government crimes in Iraq when its senior managers are appointed by the government? Has anything fundamentally changed since BBC founder Lord Reith wrote of the establishment: "They know they can trust us not to be really impartial"? Why did the British and American mass media fail to challenge even the most obvious government lies on Iraqi weapons of mass destruction before the invasion in March 2003? Why did the media ignore the claims of UN weapons inspectors that Iraq had been 90-95 per cent "fundamentally disarmed" as early as 1998? This book answers these questions, and more.
John Pilger says...
"The creators and editors of Media Lens, David Edwards and David Cromwell, have had such influence in a short time that, by holding to account those who, it is said, write history's draft, they may well have changed the course of modern historiography. They have certainly torn up the 'ethical blank cheque', which Richard Drayton referred to [in the Guardian], and have exposed as morally corrupt 'the right to bomb, to maim, to imprison without trial...'. Without Media Lens during the attack on and occupation of Iraq, the full gravity of that debacle might have been consigned to oblivion, and to bad history.
"They have not bothered with soft targets, such as Rupert Murdoch's Sun, but have concentrated on that sector of the media which prides itself on its 'objectivity', 'impartiality' and 'balance' (such as the BBC) and its liberalism and fairness (such as the Guardian). Not since Noam Chomsky's and Edward Herman's Manufacturing Consent have we had such an incisive and erudite guide through the media's thicket of agendas and vested interests. Indeed, they have done the job of true journalists: they have set the record straight.
"For this reason, Guardians of Power ought to be required reading in every media college. It is the most important book about journalism I can remember."
Noam Chomsky says...
"Regular critical analysis of the media, filling crucial gaps and correcting the distortions of ideological prisms, has never been more important. Media Lens has performed a major public service by carrying out this task with energy, insight, and care."
Edward Herman says...
"Media Lens is doing an outstanding job of pressing the mainstream media to at least follow their own stated principles and meet their public service obligations. It is fun as well as enlightening to watch their representatives, while sometimes giving straightforward answers to queries, often getting flustered, angry, evasive, and sometimes mis-stating the facts."

Intellectual Self-Defence in an Age of Illusions
by David Edwards
Publication date: April 2000
ISBN:1870098889 Paperback
Intellectual Self-Defence in an Age of Illusions
"Often raw and uncompromising, but it is precisely this quality that lifts it above the familiar blend of green bland and blather." - Jonathon Porritt
"This is Namaste's book of the year. Why? Because this is a book that urges the reader to look at the world from a wider perspective. Although written in 1993, everything about which the author has written is so relevant today. It is full of wisdom that does not rely on other people's research. . . . This book shows all of us ways in which we can change, by questioning how we live and think." ? Namaste Magazine
Building on the work of writers such as Chomsky and Herman, David Edwards shows how the propaganda system distorts our understanding of political, personal and spiritual issues, ensuring that we remain passive, conformist, confused and uninformed - and willing to accept the irrational values of corporate consumerism. He argues that we need to master the arts of 'intellectual self-defence', in order to become able to challenge the 'necessary illusions' of a system that subordinates people and planet to the drive for profit.

Surviving Climate Change
Surviving Climate Change
The Struggle to Avert Global Catastrophe
Edited by David Cromwell and Mark Levene
Publication date: October 2007
Buy now
Book Description
-- World's leading climate campaigners offer practical solutions --
"An insightful and inspiring collection from some of the foremost thinkers on climate change. Not to be missed." Mark Lynas, author of High Tide (Flamingo/HarperCollins, 2004)
"A visionary and hopeful book -- an essential survival guide in turbulent times."
Caroline Lucas, Green Party MEP for South East England
Climate change is a pressing reality. From hurricane Katrina to melting polar ice, and from mass extinctions to increased threats to food and water security, the link between corporate globalisation and planetary blowback is becoming all too evident.
Governments and business keep reassuring the public they are going to fix the problem. This book brings together some leading activists who disagree. They expose the inertia, denial, deception -- even threats to our civil liberties -- which comprise mainstream responses from civil and military policy makers, and from opinion formers in the media, corporations and academia.
An epochal change is called for in the way we all engage with the climate crisis. Key to that change is Aubrey Meyer's proposed 'Contraction and Convergence' framework for limiting global carbon emissions. This book, which also includes contributions by Mayer Hillman and George Marshall, is a powerful and vital guide to how mass mobilisation can avert the looming catastrophe.

Ninja Gaiden (Arcade) review
"Tecmo made a Double Dragon type game, where the screen scrolled sideways and you could walk up into the background, and added some interesting spices. The result is the arcade version of Ninja Gaiden. Fans of the NES series will find things dreadfully amiss here, (where's the wall climbing, the swordplay, the magic?) and no doubt immediately consider this much different coin-op to be inferior. It is, actually. But not by as much as you'd think. "

Time: 7:00 pm
Thursday Night Live presents…"One White Face" with Hilary Corna
Thursday, October 10, 2013
7:00 p.m.
Daniels Hall (Borger Academic Building), Leicester campus
Come hear motivational speaker Hilary Corna speak about one of the greatest adventures of her life: "Hilary Corna knew exactly what she was supposed to do as an American college graduate with a business degree: find a decent job, move to a city and settle down with the man she loved. But she was anything but a typical twenty-two-year-old college graduate. Against everyone's advice, she purchased a one-way ticket to Singapore in hopes of starting her career in Asia. She left home with just one suitcase, a love for Asian culture, and a determination to succeed. What could have ended in failure turns into the greatest adventure of her life…With a conversational tone and brutal honesty, Hilary invites readers along on her journey of becoming a global citizen—a journey where she discovers the beauty of life and explores her own identity not as one white face, but as a member of humanity" (www.onewhiteface.org). You don't want to miss this incredible speaker!

The beautiful and the damned: the creation of identity in nineteenth century photography
Lund Humphries, 2001 - Social Science - 121 pages
The Beautiful and the Damned looks for the first time at the broad social and cultural context for the development of portrait photography in the nineteenth century, showing how social and celebrity portraiture on the one hand, and scientific photography on the other, were different facets of the nineteenth-century fascination with classification and ordering.
Between 1860 and 1900, editions of celebrity portraits, as well as the vogue for the carte de visite, fuelled the fashion for collecting and classifying photographs of the face. In an age of rapid industrialization and the growth of the middle classes, the carte de visite became a means of conferring social status, and family albums -- which often incorporated photographs of royalty and public figures -- were used to position family members within society at large.
Photographic portraiture's rapid rise to popularity encouraged its diffusion to other spheres, and the portrait photograph was adopted by the new sciences and technologies to provide empirical evidence for theories of evolution, phrenology, racial types, insanity and criminality. A system of scrutiny or 'surveillance' of the face emerged.
The Beautiful and the Damned is a significant addition to an important new area of photographic history. Illustrated with 100 black-and-white images, this book also provides a comprehensive visual insight into the genre and features work by key figures such as Oscar Rejlander, Bassano, Eugene Atget and Julia Margaret Cameron.

FLEXITY Classic – Adelaide, Australia
Bombardier has been awarded a contract for the supply of eleven light rail vehicles of the proven FLEXITY Classic family to the city of Adelaide in South Australia. The contract is part of a modernization and upgrade program of the historic tramway line linking the seaside suburb of Glenelg with the city centre.
The low-floor trams are based on the proven and reliable concept of the FLEXITY Classic vehicles for Frankfurt/Main. Equipped with conventional wheel-set bogies the vehicles offer increased running stability and reduced wear of the wheel which results in fewer maintenance and repair intervals. Wide double-doors and level entrances facilitate boarding and exiting the vehicle, especially for passengers with reduced mobility. Additional comfort features include large panoramic windows as well as an air-conditioned passenger compartment.

"The New Geography: How the Digital Revolution Is Reshaping the American Landscape," by Joel Kotkin. (Random House, $22.95)
Joel Kotkin, a senior fellow at both Pepperdine University Institute for Public Policy and Milken Institute and a research fellow at the libertarian Reason Public Policy Institute, for 20 years has been researching and writing about what he terms "intangible" inputs into economic life.
His previous book, "Tribes: How Race, Religion and Identity Determine Success in the New Global Economy," studied cultural factors that, for example, gave Jews and expatriate Chinese communities tools for their historical economic successes.
Likewise, he argued that Southeast Asians and Koreans, among others, benefit from a variety of culturally based strategies that enable them to negotiate the shoals of a fast-paced, chaotic and demanding business environment.
In "The New Geography," Kotkin, an occasional Journal contributor, brings a similar analytic approach to the impact of the digitized economy on our physical environments. Forgoing jargon, except for the symbolic language he creates to explain some of the more overt effects of the great economic transition we have witnessed in the past 10 years or so, Kotkin writes an extremely accessible book that explores the choices and consequences of where and how we choose to live and work.
Three homemade neologisms act as his introduction to our new geography: valhalla, nerdistan and midopolis. The cutesy names belie a serious argument: that each of the three types of places, representing different tracks and classes in the new e-economy, express the different interests and capacities of their inhabitants.
One of the historic privileges of great wealth was to gain physical distance from the masses. That distance historically was constrained by practical necessity: the need to oversee in person one's business interests, the limitations of communication, the time needed for one to travel, and one's own need to have goods and services in somewhat close proximity. As both communication and travel have become faster, more efficient and increasingly inexpensive, the entrepreneurs of the new e-economy can locate themselves far away.
Vail in Colorado, Park City in Utah, and any number of other places are these valhallas. The locations play no part in the economic lives of their new residents, however, and the flow of wealth into such areas often leads to a serious disruption in the lives of others who live and work there. "They may be breathtakingly beautiful as places, but they are no longer rustic in the nature of their economy or, increasingly, in their population," writes Kotkin. "As Ed Marston, editor of the Rocky Mountain News, suggests, 'What is Montana without cowboys? Once you get rid of agriculture, you're left with nothingness. You're not using the land. It just becomes 'looking country.'"
Not everyone can be a wildly successful entrepreneur, and the management and technological sectors of the new economy need their physical places also. One group gravitates toward Kotkin's so-called nerdistans: these master-planned communities feature "a more 'campus-like' environment, often with landscaped walkways and access to bikeways and other recreations." These are idealized communities for raising families; refurbished suburban dreams catering to the concerns of scientists, engineers and technocrats in the e-economy.
Parallel to that are the urban pioneers, the artists, artisans and generally creative types who flock into Kotkin's "artful city," working in a more informal manner, seeking the inspiration and excitement of a revitalized urban life.
True to his long roots in Southern California, Kotkin uses local geography to illustrate his point. Irvine is a nerdistan; Santa Monica, the hip, urban "artful city."
Often those in the latter are the childless, gay, empty-nesters, divorced or never-married. In some ways, one can imagine the Getty Center as a nerdistan/artful city monument. Its design is certainly campus-like; its contents, well, arty.
The midopolises are more problematic. Typically, as the suburbs recycle and grow denser and grittier, they devolve into slums. But the great influx of immigrants, with their verve, determination, hard work and overall economic and social energy, help resist the natural history of the housing stock. As soon as they can afford it, they settle away from the inner city and into the suburban landscape, where they reshape traditional suburbia in surprising ways.
The San Gabriel Valley is in sections overwhelmingly Asian, with an elaborate and sophisticated Asian cultural and economic infrastructure, while previously "lily-white" suburbs have often become predominantly Latino. Both populations are driven to thrive in an economically beneficent environment relative to their respective homelands.
Nonetheless, the midopolises as often as not rely on the old economic mode — light manufacturing, retailing, import-export firms — rather than the new one, which has the potential of seriously limiting these groups' progress up the economic ladder.
Kotkin points to a potential real-estate crisis. As retail sales move more to the Internet, the vast retailing physical structure will be threatened. For massive big-box stores, a 6 percent loss in sales to the Internet could translate into a 50 percent loss in profitability. Just as traditional downtown shopping areas died in the wake of regional malls, so too regional malls can suffer seriously over the long run when exposed to e-commerce.
As he explores the implications of the class stratification growing out of the digital revolution, Kotkin uses a wide range of historic analogies: Rome, Greece, Venice, Amsterdam, London. In doing so, he traces the arc of urban life, examining the relevance to our situation of the growth of artisans, the rise of factories, the inevitable development of conflict along class lines in highly stratified cities. He fears that those conflicts could grow here: the educated, online, plugged-in will so far economically surpass the under-educated and off-line that the valhallas and nerdistans will become in all essentials separated from the midopolises and city centers.
His hope is that we realize we live not only in virtual reality, but in a physical reality of place; that the intersection of real, lived human lives determines both economic and community success. "The oldest fundamentals of place — sense of community, identity, history and faith — not only remain important, they are increasingly the critical determinants of success and failure," he maintains. As always, Kotkin remains both open-eyed and optimistic.

Because numerous diseases—infectious, endocrinological, metabolic, and neurological, as well as connective-tissue disease—can induce psychiatric and/or behavioral symptoms, clinicians need to distinguish these neuropsychiatric masquerades from primary psychiatric disorders, warned Jos Maldonado, MD, the director of Stanford University's Psychosomatic Medicine Service.
Maldonado, associate professor of psychiatry and medicine at Stanford and chief of the medical and forensic psychiatry section at the Stanford University Medical Center, offered clinical guidance at the recent US Psychiatric and Mental Health Congress in San Diego.
While Maldonado explained that each entity has distinctive characteristics, there are several general clues that aid in identifying "organic" mental disorders (Table). In addition, Maldonado said, several prescription drugs (eg, corticosteroids, opioids, cancer chemotherapies, antiparkinsonian medications), substances of abuse (eg, cocaine, alcohol, phencyclidine [PCP]), and toxins (eg, heavy metals, paint, organophosphate insecticides) are linked with anxiety, mood disorders, and psychosis. Be suspicious if the patient is taking prescription drugs that have psychoactive effects, has a history of substance abuse, may have been exposed to toxins, or is taking multiple medications, he said.
"I happen to be the psychiatrist for the transplant teams at Stanford, and we have found that some transplant patients take over 20 different kinds of supplements that are not part of their therapy," he said. "The other day, I . . . asked a patient to show me a list of his medications. He pulled out a bag of prescribed medications. I asked him if he took anything over-the-counter, and he brought out a bigger bag."
Maldonado discussed more than 27 medical and neurological disorders that present with psychiatric symptoms, offered "pearls" for timely diagnosis, and discussed potential management and treatment strategies, some of which are described here.
Endocrine disorders
Hypothyroidism (myxedema madness) associated with rapid onset may clinically present with delirium and psychosis, according to Maldonado. Myxedema madness refers to the cognitive and psychotic symptoms, such as paranoid delusions, seen before the availability of effective treatment. In older adults, he added, hypothyroidism may present with dementia-like symptoms.
Subclinical hypothyroidism can be virtually indistinguishable from depression and is often characterized by depression, memory loss, cognitive impairment, and fatigue.
Hyperthyroidism (Graves disease) can present with anxiety, shortness of breath, sleep problems, and emotional lability. The disorder may be misdiagnosed as a mood or anxiety disorder, said Maldonado. Clinicians also have to think about CNS intoxication and consider whether the patient is using illicit drugs, such as cocaine.
In patients 65 years and older, hyperthyroidism can present with psychomotor retardation and cognitive deficits, often leading to a misdiagnosis of depression (known as apathetic hyperthyroidism). In patients with bipolar disorder, hyperthyroidism can lead to mania, he warned.
Pheochromocytoma, a catecholamine-secreting tumor, can present with a number of symptoms. Primarily it mimics panic anxiety symptoms, including "paroxysmal attacks of anxiety," according to Maldonado.
"These patients have many of the classic symptoms of anxiety disorder. But if you take a very good history, you will find that the anxiety attacks caused by pheochromocytoma do not meet the diagnostic criteria for panic attacks," he said. "The diagnosis is not that difficult, although clinicians must have a high level of suspicion. Diagnostic tests include 24-hour urinary catecholamines and metanephrines; CT or T2- weighted MRI of the head, neck, and chest; or clonidine-suppression test. You can also massage the adrenal glands, which will produce a surge of catecholamines, and the patient will experience symptoms of a panic attack."
The treatment of choice is to remove the tumor. But Maldonado cautioned that all the patients should be treated with b-blockers before surgery to prevent intraoperative hypertension.

Police: CBS News anchor chokes wife
Broadcaster faces felony strangulation of bombshell spouse
A CBS News anchor based in New York City is facing a felony charge for allegedly choking his wife, who is also a network broadcaster.
Police say Rob Morrison, a 44-year-old morning news anchor for WCBS, choked his wife Ashley during a fight at the couple's Connecticut home Sunday morning, and threatened her again after his arrest.
The incident allegedly took place in Darien, Conn., where police issued a statement saying: "Upon arrival, it was ascertained that Morrison had been becoming increasingly belligerent toward his wife during the course of the evening, culminating in his choking her by the neck with both hands."
Darien police responded to the Morrisons' $1.26 million home about 1:30 a.m. Sunday after Ashley's mother called to report a domestic incident.
Officers discovered Ashley Morrison, 40, with red marks on her neck, and Rob Morrison, a former U.S. Marine, bleeding from his face.
On Monday, the media pair issued a joint statement through their attorney.
"The Morrisons are confident that a full review of this matter will show that the allegations have been greatly exaggerated," the statement said. "While this matter is being addressed, Rob and Ashley hope that their family's privacy will be respected."
According to the New York Daily News, Rob Morrison was "still steaming as he was getting booked."
While being processed, he "made verbal threats to do his wife additional harm, which were overheard by arresting officers," Darien police said.
When pressed for an explanation Monday night, Rob Morrison was tight-lipped.
"We, my son, wife and myself are fine, thank you," he told the Daily News in an email.
Mr. Morrison has an appearance before a Stamford, Conn., judge on Tuesday.
He's charged with second-degree strangulation, a felony, as well as misdemeanor threatening and disorderly conduct.
WCBS-TV is a "network O & O," an owned-and-operated affiliate of the CBS Television Network, based in New York City.

Though MV Agusta gave us a good insight into what to expect at EICMA, the company from Varese has finally debuted its sport-touring machine, the 2014 MV Agusta Turismo Veloce 800. Built around MV Agusta's 800cc three-cylinder engine, the Turismo Veloce 800 and the Turismo Veloce Lusso 800 (the pannier-equipped higher-spec model) feature a 125hp and 62 lbs•ft of torque.
True to the current MV Agusta aesthetic, the MV Agusta Turismo Veloce 800 has obvious design cues from the MV Agusta F3 and MV Agusta F4, and translates those cues into a machine that is very sporty in nature. Slenderly built and having performance in mind, the 427 lbs machine boasts the best in class power-to-weight ratio.
True to the spirit of MV Agusta's brand, Giovanni Castiglioni reiterated that "nobody needs an MV Agusta in their garage, you buy an MV because it transfers emotions." The 2014 MV Agusta Turismo Veloce 800 is no different.

DuckTales: Remastered Coming to PC this Summer!
Posted: 01:40PM
Author: ClayMeow
I'm an 80s kid, so the animated television series DuckTales holds a special place in my heart. It also means I was an NES kid and I have fond memories of the DuckTales video game as well; a 2D action-platformer that was both a commercial and critical success. At PAX East 2013, Capcom announced that it was bringing back the classic with a high-definition remake entitled DuckTales: Remastered. At the time, the game was only announced for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Wii U. I am happy to report that a Capcom employee has confirmed DuckTales: Remastered is coming to the PC via digital download!
Priced at $14.99, the PC version is expected to arrive around the same time as the console versions, which was originally "this Summer" and hasn't seemed to change. In addition to the reveal trailer below, IGN published a video providing a side-by-side comparison of the Amazon level, which is not only great for seeing the improved 2.5D visuals, but also provides you young'ns with a taste of the original. DuckTales, woo-oo!

Aloha Guys,
I've been surfing for about 10 years all over the world and lived the last few years in Hawaii.
What I found the most frustrating is how long it takes to improve my surfing. I feel like after reaching a certain level it takes a lot of effort making it to the next level.
Besides going surfing a lot, what are you guys doing to consistently improve your surfing technique...feedback from friends, videos, photos, keeping notes of your surf sessions, etc.
Many thanks for helping me shred better

The sell-off in emerging markets is not an omen of a prolonged economic contraction. Although capital flows were also turbulent after the 2008 financial crisis, growth in emerging markets continued. Nor is this a sign of financial crisis. "One thing most people seem to agree on is that this is not a replay of the late 1990s," writes Ryan Avent in the Economist. A combination of exchange rate flexibility and low external debt means that emerging markets are unlikely to experience the same level of carnage as was seen in the 1997. Rather, the sell-off is a statement about how monetary policy has been unable to stabilize output in emerging markets and the importance of monetary reform.
...Since all capital controls eventually leak, emerging markets can commit to stabilizing either the exchange rate or domestic output—not both. Economists Joshua Aizenman, Menzie Chinn, and Hiro Ito (pdf) have shown that this tradeoff is real. In the 1972 to 2006 time period, "Greater monetary independence [was] associated with lower output volatility while greater exchange rate stability [implied] greater output volatility."
Between these two options, the answer should be clear. Central banks in emerging markets need to focus on domestic output, and not the exchange rate.

Holiday fun continues this week as the third annual Festival of Trees benefitting the United Way gets underway with food, decorations and an early visit from Santa.
Jennifer Gregory, chairman of the 2010 Festival of Trees event said expectations are high for an outstanding event.
"This year, we have an extremely talented group of decorators who I know will create stunning trees for this Christmas season," Gregory said. "And from what I've heard, the gifts under the trees are going to be outstanding!"
The event will be held Tuesday through Thursday and host a special Cookies with Santa event on Saturday at the Palmeiro Center on the Mississippi State University campus.
Tuesday and Wednesday, the Festival of Trees will be open for public viewing from 10 a.m. until 7 p.m. Entry fee will be $5 per person and must be paid at the door.
At 7 p.m. Thursday, the black-tie optional Holiday Party and Auction will be held, giving ticket holders the opportunity bid on the decorator Christmas trees and Gingerbread House items.
"Enjoy the magic of Christmas at the Holiday Party and Auction," Gregory said. "Be the first to see and/or bid on the beautifully decorated Christmas trees, handmade Gingerbread houses, and silent auction items." Tickets for the Holiday Party and Auction will be $40 per person or $80 per couple. A maximum of 250 tickets will be sold for this event. Tables of 10 may be reserved for $400. All tickets must be purchased in advance at the Greater Starkville Development Partnership Office, 200 East Main Street, Starkville; or the United Way Office, 1016G Louisville Street, Starkville, or e-mail at email@example.com to reserve tickets.
No tickets will be sold at the door. Gregory said the Holiday Party and Auction will feature live music, eclectic local food, beverages, live auction, and the finale of the silent auction.
"Elaborately decorated Christmas trees, gingerbread homes, silent auction items, and more will be sold to the highest bidders at this authentic Christmas event," Gregory said.
Gregory said this year, more of a focus was placed on recruiting bakers and caterers to create the Gingerbread houses, and they feel like that effort will really pay off.
"Last year, some of the favorites included a Gingerbread house in the shape of the Humphrey Coliseum, several modeled after churches with stained glass windows, and more," Gregory said. "This year, festival-goers will be in for a real treat because in addition to the Gingerbread houses, there will be an elaborate train display to complete the village!"
The event will take a break on Friday to get ready for Santa to visit on Saturday.
The Cookies with Santa event will be held Nov. 13 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Tickets will be $10 per child, with a maximum of 200 tickets to be sold.
Tickets must be purchased in advance at the Greater Starkville Development Partnership Office, 200 East Main Street, Starkville; or the United Way Office, 1016G Louisville Street, Starkville. Or e-mail festivaloftrees.starkville@gmail com to reserve tickets. No tickets will be sold at the door. Gregory said tickets price includes time with Santa. Parents are encouraged to bring their cameras to take photos. Children will also enjoy homemade cookies, face painting, and a special craft that the elves will help children make!
The Festival of Trees is put on solely by a committee of volunteers that work tirelessly throughout the year.
"We also recruit groups to help us with set-up and clean-up and to work specific events, and this year, we're excited about working with the Starkville High School Interact Club," Gregory said. "If there are other groups that are interested in volunteering, we'd love to talk with them!"
All of the proceeds for the Festival of Trees goes to the United Way of North Central Mississippi. Gregory said festival-goers and contributors have a chance to see their dollars really benefit this area through the United Way agencies such as Habitat for Humanity, the Humane Society, Brickfire, and many others.
Last year, the event netted $33,000 for the United Way, and Gregory said this year, the group hopes to match and exceed last year's goals.

Much Depends on Dinner: The Extraordinary History and Mythology, Allure and Obsessions, Perils and Taboos of an Ordinary Mea
Grove/Atlantic, Inc., Jun 29, 2010 - Cooking - 352 pages
A staple of the food-writing genre that prefigured the current locavore and foodist movements by almost two decades, Margaret Visser's Much Depends on Dinner is a delightful and intelligent history of the food we eat, and a cornucopia of incredible details about the ways we do it.
Presented as a meal, each chapter of Much Depends on Dinner represents a different course or garnish, which Margaret Visser handpicks from the most ordinary American dinner: corn on the cob with butter and salt, roast chicken with rice, salad dressed in lemon juice and olive oil, and ice cream. Visser tells the story behind each of these foods and in the course of her inquiries reveals some unexpected treats: the history of Corn Flakes; the secret behind the more dissatisfactory California olives (they're picked green, chemically blackened, and sterilized); and the fact that, in Africa, citrus fruits are eaten whole, rind and all.
For food lovers of all kinds, this intelligent and unexpectedly funny book is a treasure of information that sheds light on one of our favorite pastimes: eating.

Works by American Artists Featured in Visions of Europe Exhibition Friday, April 29, 2011
Point Park University welcomes the public to Visions of Europe, an exhibition of paintings, drawing and pastels by celebrated American artists Frank Herbert Mason, John Del Monte, Lois McCune and Carol Begley. The show in the Lawrence Hall Gallery is open now through August 2011.
Jack Tomayko, a member of the Point Park University Board of Trustees and Conservatory of Performing Arts Advisory Board member, planned the exhibition.
"American artists for years have traveled to Europe to paint in the same venues as the great masters. This exhibition reflects that continuing trend," says Tomayko, an avid art collector. The four artists are connected by their travels and their ties to western Pennsylvania, he notes.
Visions of Europe featured artists
Frank Herbert Mason (1921-2009) is one of the most acclaimed American artists of our time. Drawing upon techniques of the old masters, his works include landscapes, figures, still life and religious subjects. His portraiture is in the tradition of Rembrandt. Mason is the subject of a new documentary film, A Light in the Dark: the Art and Life of Frank Mason, being released this spring. He continues to influence artists throughout the world through ArtWatch International, which he helped to create to encourage public participation in art conservation issues. In 2009, Point Park University organized an exhibition of Mason's works to launch the Lawrence Hall Gallery.
John Del Monte is an American artist and teacher whose techniques are reminiscent to Leonardo DaVinci and other master artists. Del Monte started a drawing and painting course in Lucca, Italy more than 40 years ago for students from around the world. His courses include hands-on experience preparing paper for oils and color mixing in a centuries-old tradition. His work has been shown in the Museo della Memoria in Barga, Italy and other museums and galleries in Italy and the United States. Del Monte also taught at Carnegie Mellon University.
Lois McCune is an American artist whose works include portraiture, still life and landscapes. She began her formal training at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh and went on to study at the Art Students League, the National Academy of Design and the institutions. A native Pittsburgher, McCune returned to her hometown in the 1970s and now works from her studio in Aspinwall. Her art is on display at the Benedum Center for the Performing Arts, the Pittsburgh Public Theatre, Shadyside Academy, Fox Chapel Country Day School, Allegheny General Hospital and McGee Women's Hospital.
Carol Volz Begley is an impressionist plein air artist with a passion for drawing and painting. For the past eleven years she has traveled abroad and painted the landscapes of Brittany, France, Spain, Belgium, England and Italy. Back in western Pennsylvania, she teaches classes to adults and children in her art studio in Beaver, Pa. Begley has participated in juried and group shows nationally and locally, including at the Butler Institute of American Art in Youngstown, Ohio. Her paintings are in a number of private collections.

Crusaders open tennis season with 8-1 win over Johnsonburg
ST. MARYS – The Elk County Catholic Crusaders opened the 2011 tennis season on Tuesday afternoon with an 8 to 1 victory over the Johnsonburg Area High Rams in a match played at Benzinger and Memorial Parks."This was a good start to the season," said ECCHS Head Coach Nick Caggiano. "We definitely wanted to come on strong and I believe we accomplished that. In singles, Ben and Jarid played strong tennis and imposed their game well. They were patient when they had to be and aggressive when they had to be.""Shane ran into a player with a game that can give anyone trouble, but it was a good loss, he stuck with his game the whole match and I have no doubt he'll definitely bounce back. At third singles, Peter Pontzer stayed with his consistent game and earned a solid win. He's a newcomer but had been impressive the past few weeks," noted the coach. "In fifth singles, Scott Reichard had to shake off a shaking looking first set, make some adjustments in his game play, and did well to battle back in an up and down three setter.""As for doubles, we were very impressed, especially in second and third doubles, where three out of four players for us were newcomers. Ben (Wortman) and Shane (Mancuso) kept up their solid play from last season and posted a straight forward win in first doubles, with great serving and net play," said Caggiano. Second and third doubles were entertaining to watch. We had a few new guys making their tennis debut. Darren Simons and Scott Krellner were in sync today and showed no mercy in an 8-0 shotout in second doubles. Third doubles had Nate Dattoli and Tyler Herzing making some nice all-court plays in their victory. I've been waiting to see Krellner, Simons and Herzing in action and they were definitely impressive.""I'm looking forward to seeing what this team can accomplish this season," noted Coach Caggiano. "There were some positive signs of things to come in today's match. Johnsonburg has some good athletes on their team and had some nice looking shots. It's never an easy task to rebuild a team, but I definitely saw some good things from them today."In No. 1 singles Johnsonburg's J. P. Allegretto defeated Shane Mancuso by a 6-4, 7-5 score.At No. 2 singles Elk Catholic's Ben Wortman picked up a 6-2, 6-1 victory of John Carnovale. Peter Pontzer gave Elk a 2-1 lead when he defeated Johnsonburg's Mason Martonik by a 6-2. 7-6 (7-5) score at third singles. Elk's Jarid DeCarli picked up a 6-2, 6-1 victory over Luke Shreffler in the No. 4 singles match. In the final singles match of the day, Elk's Scott Reichard defeated Johnsonburg's Shane Bickford 3-6, 6-0, 10-7.Ben Wortman and Shane Mancuso of Elk, won the first doubles match over Burg's Allegretto and Carnovale by an 8-4 score. At second doubles, Elk's Darren Simons and Scott Krellner won 8-0 over Martonik and Shreffler. The ECCHS team of Nate Dattoli and Tyler Herzing defeated the Johnsonburg team of Nate Fields and Bickford by an 8-2 score at third doubles. In the final doubles match the ECCHS team of Kyler Breakey and Kevin Detsch won by a forfeit.Elk Catholic will return to action onThursday when they take on the St. Marys Area tennis squad.Johnsonburg will return to action on Thursday when they travel to Bradford to take on the Bradford Owls.
