Bottom-Feeding in a High-Rise Market
In a city built on the backs of shot-takers, many condo investors have failed to rake in the dough and their apartments sit empty. But as with everything else in Vegas, their losses can be profitable for somebody else.
Michael Kaplan
From the Print Edition:
Arnon Milchan, September/October 2008
(continued from page 1)
In angling for the Cosmo's fabulous units, with Japanese soaking tubs and views of the Bellagio's famed dancing waters, nobody focused on how ugly things could get. In short order, however, the subprime crisis hit America hard and delivered a knockout punch to Vegas. Suddenly people who bought units to flip—and really couldn't carry them—faced a market without buyers (the free flow of jumbo-rate financing seemed to dry up instantly). Those with adjustable mortgages were in even more trouble. And people who put down six-figure deposits were shocked to find themselves unable to drum up the rest of the necessary dough. Rather than increasing in value over the term of construction, units decreased, so even if the banks wanted to lend, 2004 prices were a lot higher than 2008 prices, which meant more money needed to be expended up front. Vegas became a place with beautiful apartments and no liquidity.
It's a situation that is now illustrated in miniature by the Cosmopolitan itself, a project undertaken by a nervy New Yorker named Ian Bruce Eichner. Though the building practically sold out on that amazing day in 2004, problems loomed. Construction costs soared and at least one very pricy, unexpected mishap occurred: while building an underground parking garage, workers hit a riverbed that flooded the site and needed to be shored up at a cost in the tens of millions of dollars.
This past May, after sinking some $1 billion into Cosmo, chief backer Deutsche Bank foreclosed on the project and took it away from Eichner despite his $280 million in earnest money from buyers, who were theoretically committed to closing on nearly $1.4 billion in sales. As of this writing, Deutsche Bank is continuing to pay for construction, but it is unclear who will ultimately own the building.
Nobody is very happy about it. "I have two units overlooking the fountains," says investor Dunn, who has since branched out into managing condos for rent through a company called Bluechip Management. "But we bought too high." Acknowledging that he's not the only one, Dunn gloomily adds, "They pre-sold 84 percent, and, when it's completed, it will be interesting to see if there is a market."
Mark Sivek, who's marketing apartments for the recently opened Trump International Hotel and Tower, a partnership between Donald Trump and Vegas hotelier Phil Ruffin, inadvertently paints a stark post-boom picture. Like the guys at Cosmo, he acknowledges, he has crossed the rubric from salesman to something else. Unlike them, however, he is no order taker. "I'm a deal maker," he explains, pointing out that rather than selling units, he's helping buyers strategize on how to manage the financing in a tough environment, sometimes forging partnerships between individuals who lack the wherewithal to buy their units solo. "It's about making deals, saving the integrity of the building, and everybody goes home happy."
Or not, as Jim Dunn relates: "Supposedly a guy walked away from five units at Trump with 500 grand down. He lost half a million dollars." Dunn shrugs and turns down his lips. "It's a buyer's market, but financing is hard to get. The banks want 35 to 40 percent down, perfect-A credit and full documentation. There are a lot of people walking away from six-figure deposits. They don't have choices." On a Saturday afternoon in Las Vegas, the sun burns hot and bright on the balcony of an empty apartment in a luxury three-tower complex known as The Signature at MGM Grand. Inside it's all cool earth tones, flat-screen TVs and nice but bland furnishings. A broker by the name of Glen is walking a potential buyer through the one-bedroom apartment. In town on business, the prospect is shopping around with no immediate need to make a purchase.
He steps toward the edge of the balcony and looks down on a European-style pool, spotted with topless female sunbathers. "I'm getting vertigo," he says, retreating inside.
A few years ago, it would be unclear whether the source of his dizziness was aerial or financial, brought on, perhaps, by unsettling prices. These days, however, there is little question. "One year ago, my client paid $700,000 for this place and now he is selling it for 510," says Glen the broker. When the potential buyer appears unmoved, Glen points out that similar units are available for $440,000. "But they're bank-owned. And you don't know [ahead of time] if you're going to get it or not."
A three-tower development attached to the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino, The Signature once served as the shining beacon for the beauty of high-rise living in Las Vegas. A so-called "condotel," it was designed so that buyers could use their units as often or as seldom as they pleased, enjoy hotel-style amenities and put the units into the MGM's hotel-room pool when they remain unoccupied. The idea was that you could help cover your mortgage with the overnight income, and MGM would get a cut of the rates.
Good as that sounds, for some buyers the project has served as an abject lesson on what can go wrong. The rental incomes have not generated as much cash as many buyers had hoped, although, it should be noted, these properties are explicitly sold as second homes, not as real-estate investments. The income is supposed to be icing, although a lot of investors bought in with the belief that it would be a little bit more. "MGM has a great rental program, but they have a lot of units and visitation is down," Jim Brooks says as a way of explaining less-than-stellar rental returns.

Piano, singing, and songwriting began for me when I discovered really awesome piano music such as with bands like Queen, Yes, and ELP. After high school, I studied classical music composition at Wheaton College's Conservatory of Music receiving my Bachelors in Music Composition with a focus in piano. My professional experience includes singing on film/TV productions such as High School Musical, Hairspray, and Struck By Lightning. I compose and orchestrate for theater (Glendale Center Theater, Vanguard University Theater Department), film/TV, orchestra (L.A. Jewish Symphony, TCOTW, BIOLA University) and album projects (Anna Nalick, Oodle's World Productions).
Singing credits include High School Musical 1, Hairspray The Movie, High School Musical 3, Chris Kolfer's new movie Struck by Lightning, Atlanta Aquarium Dolphin Show recording, Boston Public, Who Wants to Be A Millionaire ad (New Wave Ent.), and The Drew Carey Show. I'm also a professional piano player for American Idol finalist Stevie Scott, various other bands, Mastro's restaurants, and local churches.
Currently producing my second children's music album for Oodles World, Inc.
I love to share musical knowledge. I really enjoying teaching.

Music education environments can be tense and intimidating, but that's what causes averse attitudes towards learning. Learning is hard, but it's also extremely rewarding and should build confidence along the way. With me, lessons are all about progress and not about criticism. We will maintain an organized and detailed set of personalized goals all along the way, and you will see your progress in all different facets of music, playing, and singing. With any instrument, voice and piano especially, staying relaxed is key. How can you learn to fly over the keys or soar into your upper vocal register when you are tense or worried about making a mistake?
I guarantee:
1) That lessons will be fun. Learning takes hard work, but it can also be fun. That's part of my job!
2) That I will never make you sing in a way that can harm your voice.
3) That you will be empowered with tools of knowledge about your instrument (voice/piano) and about music theory that will help you to be a versatile musician.
I expect:
1) That you come willing to try new things in a low pressure environment. This will lead to progress!
2) That you come prepared to sing/play.
3) That you or your child will make mistakes. That's what lessons are for! Commit to not making the same mistakes the next time, and ENJOY the praise and feedback you get along the way.

Violin- I teach Suzuki Method (beginners through Book 7) to students age 5 and up. I also teach intermediate and early advanced classical styles.
Music Performance, Music Theory, Piano, Viola
I love being a teacher, but even more than just that, I thoroughly enjoy assisting others on their journey to learning and making music a personal experience for themselves.
Having said that, here is my teaching philosophy, including what you can expect from me as a teacher and as an individual:
Each student who comes to me is an individual. I customize each lesson, keeping in mind the student's level of interest, goals, and intent. I put great care into judging when to push, when to pull back, and when to stop altogether and regroup.
Sometimes there is frustration and as a teacher it is very important to take that experience and turn it into a positive learning situation. During the course of a lesson, we'll take a "breather" and simply talk about the day, or work on material that is enjoyable and instills a sense of self-confidence —anything to release the tension of acquiring a new language-the musical language. Within moments, we are ready to begin again, refreshed and renewed.
I believe it's important to maintain a relaxed environment that encourages self-confidence, self-motivation, musical growth and excellence. To push students too much, being insensitive to their needs and limits, is to fail them. Sometimes this may cause students to dislike not only piano, but music itself. That may translate into personal regret years later. As their teacher, I do anything and everything to avoid that occurrence, making adjustments to their course of study.
Children and adults choose to end pursuing lessons at times, but only on an up-beat note, with suggestions of other paths to explore, other ways to grow and evolve. Closure is consciously done in a respectable and healthy manner, and students are never purposely abandoned. Having musical experience, for whatever length of time, can have lasting positive, even trans-formative effects on a student-child or adult.
As a teacher, I never give up on a pupil and attempt to instill that same dedication in each student. The piano is an instrument that requires passion, discipline, and strength. Moreover, it requires humility in recognizing personal and professional limitations with understanding and peace. We are not all capable of being world-class pianists; however, we can all foster within us their qualities of the love, joy, and awe that music brings to both the listener and performer.
In short: I offer myself as your personal musical guide to assist you in honing the skills needed to become the best musician your mind's eye can imagine. Learning music truly is an adventure that is meant to be fun and rewarding. Our time spent together will uphold that ideal.
Fifteen years of private Classical Piano study under Martha Ashleigh, Hans Boepple, Santa Clara University, California. Seven years of private Classical Viola study under Christine Becktrom, Modesto, California.
Six years of private composition, music theory and counterpoint study under Martha Ashleigh, Dr. Pamela Quist at Santa Clara University and Dr. Michael Fiday at the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music.
In addition to studying piano and composition extensively for many years I've been fortunate to have many other valuable experiences both as a teacher and musician, including but not limited to the following:
As a teacher, I've been teaching for over 5 years, having worked with young children to college age and beyond in a private lesson setting. During my undergraduate years I substituted for my professor at a local community college teaching the keyboard lab class for two semesters in a group piano setting. I have taught not only music but, composition and music theory as well.
As a church musician, I've assisted the Music Director at a northern CA catholic church as organist and pianist. I also accompanied the church choir during holidays and feast days.
As a soloist, I've performed extensively throughout California as a solo artist presenting standard literature and original works, as an accompanist for vocalists, and in chamber ensembles.
As an orchestral musician, I've toured throughout Japan presenting standard literature in Kurume, Fukuoka and Tokyo.

*** Lesson Details ***
A typical lesson will vary depending on age and skill level when starting lessons. The first lesson will at minimum assess where your natural musical sensibilities are through a few interactive musicianship activities (rhythm etc.). Depending on the student and lesson time-frame we may also cover one or more of the following: basic hand position, keyboard geography, proper way to sit at piano (posture) and introduce some simple technique building exercises for building finger strength. From there the lesson content will be adapted to the individual's musical needs and goals. In future lessons music theory and musicianship skills will receive emphasis as well.
To what extent deeper aspects of music theory and musicianship are explored and taught will again depend on the student's musical goals keeping the following question in mind: Is music a hobby pursued only for enjoyment or is it being pursued as a serious course of study?
Neither path is better than the other, it is merely a matter of what degree of musical proficiency and understanding you want to walk away with during your time spent learning music.
As a beginner (in the 5-12 years old range), we will typically spend a lot of time discovering music through creative "musical games," flash cards and keeping the teaching atmosphere fun and inspiring. There will also be some technical exercises to build finger strength and dexterity early on which we will continue moving forward.
For younger children (ages 5-8), I prefer for the parents to be present and engaged throughout the learning process and to assist the teacher in supporting the child's musical development. A supportive home environment is important for not only personal, but musical growth.
While I will hold a student to his or her personal musical goals, I will not be overly strict especially with young musicians who are discovering and being introduced to music for the first time. During the early formative years a nurturing environment that instills creativity, self-confidence and self-motivation is the most important. The priority is to engage a young students interest and instill the belief that "playing the piano time" is not a chore, but something exciting and beneficial. Therefore, a mixture of effective musical activities and technique building exercises are implemented throughout the course of study.
Adult beginners will also be introduced to technique building exercises, music fundamentals and learning new repertoire in an age-appropriate context. As your teacher I will keep you accountable to your musical goals and monitor progress accordingly.
All students will be asked to purchase lesson materials that can be received either through the teacher, directly from the publisher online or local music store. Generally, these will include a piano method book, technique, repertoire and theory book. Supplemental materials such as flash cards may need to be purchased as well (often times students make their own flash cards though!)

As a classically trained pianist myself, I help my students with classical approach for their piano lessons as well.
However, when I start working with new students, I start from where they are by trying to continue their previously followed methods and repertoire, regardless of musical genre.
Lesson time will be shared for theory upon students request especially when students are pursuing CM certificate, but, even for non-CM students, I normally plan to advance one level up per year in terms of proficiency.
In short term, I focus on helping students to master the repertoire they are working on, but
I will suggest pieces that can be a little challenging after they master current ones.
Bilingual in Korean and English, I'll be comfortably communicating with Korean-speaking parents.

Hello, my name is Cindy and I am a vocal and instrumental instructor. I received my BA and MAT degrees from Pepperdine University. I have taught privately for over 25 years in the San Fernando Valley, along with Pasadena and Simi Valley areas. During college I performed in several operas including The Magic Flute and Hansel and Gretel with the Burbank Symphony Orchestra. After college, I was a member of Musical Americans, a select touring group from Southern California under the direction of K. Gene Simmonds that toured South America and Japan. I also served as a minister of music at a local church for several years.
I began playing the piano at the age of 7. My mother and sister were taking lessons and, when they had finished practicing I would go into the piano and play what they had just played. My mother figured that I was the one with the talent so I got the lessons. When I was 9, I became interested in the violin. Back in those days, it was required for you to take private lessons if you were going to be in the school orchestra. I started lessons on the violin while continuing lessons on the piano. I began taking voice lessons while in Jr. High and for a while, I took lessons on all three. I was also very involved with my church music department, which was very large and well known in Southern California. During college, I had the opportunity to participate in The Living Christmas Tree . This was a great experience, one I will never forget. I not only sang in the tree but was able to play in the orchestra for a couple of years as well.
Being a classroom teacher for over 30 years, I have had the experience of bringing the joy of music to hundreds of students. I put a strong focus on musical theory so that my students understand not only how to play or sing, but understand the WHY of different musical concepts. Presently I have students attending CSUN majoring in music. I have a love for music that has been with me since the age of 7, when I started taking my first piano lessons. I took private lessons on piano, violin and voice till I graduated from high school, continuing while I earned my BA and MAT degrees. I have experience with students of all ages, ranging from the young kindergarten student to the adult student. I believes that there is a hidden talent in everyone and that if there is a desire to learn, I can teach them!
*** Lesson Details ***
My lessons are designed to bring a maximum level of enjoyment while giving a strong musical theory foundation. Being a classroom teacher for over 30 years, I understand what a student goes through regarding homework during a week's time. I always take that into consideration when making assignments. I find out what the student's musical likes are and use those in selecting songs to work on with them.I use different curriculum, depending on the needs of the student and the instrument being taught. With the wealth of my experience I can teach and guide the student through any performance and musical interest they may have and bridge the gap between genre's that so many are unable to do.
I teach beginning and intermediate voice, flute, guitar, sax and clarinet. I am able to teach up to the advanced level for violin and piano. I enjoy working with all levels of students, from young children through adults.

Music is my passion, and I love to share it with others! I have been a musician almost my entire life. I began taking piano lessons in grade school and voice lessons in middle school. I continued to study throughout high school and eventually college. I graduated in music from The Ohio State University. I went on to teach music in the public schools as well as private piano and voice lessons. When not teaching, I spend most of my time performing by acting, singing, dancing and modeling. Some past performances include Company; Jekyll and Hyde; The Wizard of Oz; Meet Me In St. Louis; Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs; and Grease. I recently relocated to Los Angeles and am excited to share my passion for music with you!

Tunisian rapper Hamada Ben Amor, known as El Général, released "Rayes Lebled'' or "Head of State" around the same time as Mohamed Bouazizi's self-immolation. El Général's song spoke out against the now former Tunisian President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali and has been labeled the "rap song that sparked a revolution."
Following the success of the Tunisian uprising, Palestinian artists joined forces to honor the Tunisian people with a song entitled "Green Revolution." Rapper Mahmoud Jrere from pop-rap group DAM thanked the Tunisians for giving them hope "instead of depression and boredom from politicians," as Mahmoud Darwish wondered "how can we be cured from our love for Tunisia?" and ended the song by admitting "we love you Tunisia more than we thought we knew."
Central Cairo's Tahrir or Liberation Square was the Egyptian uprising's battleground that remained relatively peaceful. For 18 days, videos exhibiting the Egyptian people's humor and love of music went viral on YouTube. The song in the video below was sung by protestors camped out at the square, addressing former President Hosni Mubarak.
After the people toppled Hosni Mubarak, a group of "several notable musicians from North America teamed up to release a song of solidarity and empowerment." Their song is entitled #Jan25, in reference to the Egyptian protest hashtag that was trending on Twitter at the time. The artists said, "this track serves as a testament to the revolution's effect on the hearts and minds of today's youth, and the spirit of resistance it has come to symbolize for oppressed people worldwide."
Libya's struggle for freedom and democracy began on February 17. In an effort to mobilize the youth, Tripoli rapper Ibn Thabit released a song titled "Call to the Libyan Youth" inviting them to "live standing up on [their] feet, not on [their] knees." (Full translation here)
In a humorous reprise of Tracy Chapman's classic "Talkin 'Bout A Revolution," Israeli band Shmemel talked about "An Arab Revolution." The 10-member group displayed solidarity with the Arab uprising through a video that is steeped in orientalist imagery. Shmemel allied itself with those fighting for "freedom" and "liberation," and identified with the struggle against "people who are trying to bring us down from Washington to Tel Aviv to Tehran," offering listeners an uncommonly heard Israeli voice.

Hazy copper color with a thick three fingers of head.
Smells like day-old bread, plum, overripe banana and pine.
Bold malt profile. Stays fairly non-sweet. A little bread, rye, sharp lemon.
A foamy texture with moderate carbonation.
I loved it. Great looking, smelling and tasting. Decently complex without being overbearing.

A - Pours a dark hazy apricot with a dense and creamy head that slowly sinks into a tight knit cap forming a tall sturdy collar.
S - Candied orange peels, rye, hazelnut, soured hay, sweet fruit esters, Belgian candy, green figs, woody amaretto, almost getting hints of cocoa.
T - Follows the nose with oranges, spicy cocoa, Belgian yeast, amaretto, fruity esters of melon, fresh figs, and stone fruit. The rye is very present and seems to have taken on a hazelnut character, some bubblegum comes out as it warms up. Spiciness builds toward the end helping to dry out the sweetness creating a semi-dry finish.
M - Moderate creamy carbonation, full body for the style.
This is an odd duck. The rye is interesting but it's too sweet for a Saison. Almost more of a BSPA. Fun to drink but not sure it all works together.

Pours decent for a three finger thick brownish white colored crown of foam. The body is brown/copper in color and quite hazy.
The aroma is of sour rye notes, lemon hops, orange rind, vanilla, metallic traits, and subtle cherry.
Taste wise it's malty upfront with caramel and cherry intertwined, there is a metallic hint here too.
Feels full in body, plenty of carbonation, and slightly warming in the end.

Wild Brew 2012 looks like a throwback to those darker, more amber farmhouse ales that Michael Jackson found in his early travels to Wallonia. This is because of the rye malt, which is much less pale than barley.
Rye has a particular aroma and flavor in beer. In this beer's aroma, the rye grains give off a musty quality. It's like smelling a loaf of rye bread inside of a dusty attic. There's a note of mildewed paper that reminds me of the boxes of old magazines and video game strategy guides that are still in my mother's garage. No, it really reminds me of tattered magazine pages and dusty books from destroyed houses, after the April 27th, 2011 tornado that tore through Tuscaloosa, when I was assisting with the clean-up. Black pepper is there too, not so much peppercorns as just some table pepper. All this musty character is muting the hints of lemon.
This is a thoughtful Saison. I say that because this beer manages to evoke the terroir of Oklahoma, or at least it evokes my mental depiction of Oklahoma. This is a hardscrabble beer. The flavor is so assertive with rye character. It tastes like dark bread and dried-out patches of mud. It tastes dusty. If this Saison is representative of the land, then it comes from soil that hardens and cracks. It comes from soil that heats up during the day and retains its heat through the night. It comes from soil that yields short growing seasons, that favors grains and starches with lots of protein. This beer tastes like survival.
There's brightness up front with some lemon zest and pear juice. That brightness is quickly overshadowed by the deep grain flavors. The rye comes across as sharp and spicy, with antecedent flavors of cedar and, like, a wallet made from distressed leather. Rye flavor in beer is different from other instances of rye. It's not really like those rye chips from a bag of Chex Mix or Gardetto's (I've always hated those rye chips. They taste alright to me, but they are too crunchy. I always feel like I'm going to crack a tooth. Indeed, I've cracked teeth on less. So of course Gardetto's sells entire bags of nothing but their rye chips). Nor is the flavor noticeably similar to rye whiskey from America or Canada. It's closest to rye sandwich bread, but bread yeasts don't bring out the inherent spicy flavor of rye like brewer's yeasts do. This beer clearly highlights rye flavor; I feel about as close to eating dry, hot dirt that I've ever felt. The midpalate of the beer sees the Saison yeast's peppery phenols start to squeeze their way through the assertive rye. The finish is certainly dry enough for the style, but the rye reigns.
As I drink this beer, I'm staring out the back windows of my new office/writing studio at my new house. My backyard is about ¼ grass, ¾ clusters of assorted weeds, and ¼ dirt. The dirt begins in the upper right corner of my backyard and spreads out like a baseball diamond. If I stare hard enough I can imagine a tumbleweed frolicking across. That's what this beer tastes like, and it's basically what I imagine Oklahoma's farmland to look like. I can practically hear Jim Ross call a wrestling match right now. While this is the first rye saison I've ever come across, there's something that just clicks for me. The knowledge of how much rye is grown in Oklahoma plays a large part in my satisfaction, but that's also because it plays a large part in the intent of the brewers. This is a cohesive beer that evokes the land because the brewers cared to make it that way. This isn't a great beer by any means, but it is the kind of beer I'd like to see more of. It just makes sense.

P: Highly carbonated golden amber body crowned by a off white foamy head. Some slight lacing on the edges.
S: Nice funky yeast, spices, rye, heavy alcohol presence once swirled. Apricots, small notes of bubblegum, grass, moldy wood and a peppery background.
T/M: A grand slap in the face with rye alcohol. Heavy rye flavors followed by a prevalent perfumed alcohol presence and nicely spiced. Toasted malts, and under established yeast flavors swimming in a medium almost chewy body. A subtle sweet backdrop, cork, salted peanuts, floral hops and wood. Finish is dry with a slightly tart and lingering bitterness of citrus rinds and persimmons.
O: Interesting brew that delivers a well rounded flavor. There is a lot going on here but seems to be blended well. The taste comes off more of a rye beer due to the huge alcohol and rye flavors but smells like a nice saison variety. At 7% ABV i think the alcohol presence may be overdone. Definitely glad I picked this up. The Choc Beer Co. and the Oklahoma Ale Makers (FOAM) did a great job in this collaboration. Hats off gentlemen

Thanks to Freddie at the bier garten in Tulsa/Jenks for recommending this. Poured from a 750ml bottle into a tulip glass. Opened with a loud carbonated pop. Really strong carbonation. Dark copper in color with a nice thick head that stays around. Great lacing. A nice looking beer.
Smell has vanilla, fruity sweetness with maybe a little alcohol. Not your typical saison smell. Not as strong an aroma as I like in a saison.
Taste is disappointing. Slightly sweet with a definite rye backbone but it quickly disappears. There is no lingering sweetness which is what I like in a saison. Definitely not your typical saison. I can't say I don't like it but even if I could, i probably wouldn't buy this again.
Mouthfeel is good. Smooth and appropriate for a saison. The good mouthfeel can't overcome the lackluster taste.
Overall it's an okay beer. The rye is interesting in a saison but it's just okay. Maybe it's a little too subtle for my taste.

Sustainability is multidisciplinary in nature and is already a major theme of many courses across UMD's colleges and departments. Making the changes necessary for UMD to operate more sustainably requires the unique contributions and creativity from students and faculty in all areas of study. Education is essential to UMD sustainability efforts, as outlined in the Energy Action Plan.
Liberal education is a key component of UMD's mission to prepare students to thrive as lifelong learners and globally engaged citizens. To that end, UMD requires that students take a set of courses outside of their concentration in order to ensure that their undergraduate education encompasses a broad range of historical and contemporary knowledge.
Beginning in Fall 2012, sustainability will be included in the liberal education curriculum at UMD. Courses in this category focus on ways in which the science of the natural environment interacts with economic, social, and political forces in a local, national and/or global context. Below is a list of courses that relate to sustainability. Courses shaded in green in the below list fulfill the sustainability category of the liberal arts curriculum.
If there is a course at UMD with a focus on sustainability that is missing from this list, please let us know, by e-mail us at email@example.com.
Participants in the certificate will gain an understanding of sustainability and how it relates to the current U.S. food system model. The certificate will give learners a strong foundation of learning and skills for working in their regional food system from production, to advocacy, to service, to education. The certificate will provide opportunities for online learners to acquire the knowledge, skills, and understanding that are needed to create change in their communities and build a sustainable food system model for the future – one that is ecologically, economically and socially viable.

Water board member quits his day job

They need to rename the "water board". Waterboard is a trademark of the Bush administration.
on Nov 18, 2011 at 2:29 pm
Ha, I must admit I also picked up the wrong kind of "water boarding" from the headline.
But good for Mr Schmidt to recognize the conflict and recusing himself. Too bad the environmental organization lost a staffer, and too bad it's impossible to wear the two hats simultaneously.

Firefighters are monitoring hot spots after battling a large fire at a warehouse in northwest Atlanta Monday morning.
The fire started around 4:30 p.m. Sunday in the 1300 block of Mayson Turner Road.
Fire investigators told CBS Atlanta News that building once housed a recycling plant, but that it had been inoperable ever since a previous fire in March of 2011.
Since the 2011 fire, the facility has been used as a warehouse. Inside were stacks of plywood, plastics and bales of paper - materials that proved to be perfect fuel for another fire.
Sunday's fire sent plumes of black smoke into the sky, attracting curious people from miles away.
"At first, I thought maybe it was a gas station because the smoke was so black, like smoke igniting from the fuel," said Travis Aniton. "Then I thought maybe it was a house fire. So I came over here, and I see it's larger than a house."
No one was inside the building on Sunday and no one was injured. Fire investigators have not yet determined what caused the fire.
"We've got the fire investigators working right now as we speak," said Deputy Chief Randall Slaughter of the Atlanta Fire Department. "As soon as it's safe for them to actually get close enough to the building, they'll try to make some kind of determination as to the cause."

Cary police are looking into whether a fire on Southwest Cary Parkway was intentionally set.
Thursday night's fire spread beneath a ravine, forcing crews to shut down the westbound lane of Cary Parkway from Lake Pine Drive to Two Creeks Road.
Officials said the fire was man-made but could not determine if it was done intentionally. However, the culvert is compromised and must be replaced by the North Carolina Department of Transportation, a process that could take several weeks.
As of Friday afternoon, east-bound SW Cary Parkway is open for one-way traffic but westbound Cary Parkway is closed from Lake Pine Drive to Two Creeks Road. Motorists are being detoured to Tryon Road.

Police are searching for a suspect who fled from police during a traffic stop on Wednesday evening.
Authorities say a car was signaled to pull over for a traffic violation but refused to stop, and a pursuit began.
Police lost the suspect in East Price Hill after he fled on foot near West 8th Street and Rosemont Avenue.
It happened around 9 p.m.
A viewer emailed a tip saying several police were in the area on foot, looking for the suspect, in addition to a helicopter overhead.
Authorities have not released a description of the suspect, but if you live in the area and see anything suspicious, call police.

Can't wait for this one! The preliminaries are full of potential as well. I'm not sure how they'll 3 bouts on the card within an hour. Eddie Gomez fights some no-hoper, but I can imagine that his fight will only be 4 rounds, maybe?
Collazo also fights, and Im sure his will be a 10-rounder. Danny Jacobs returns tonight, which has been a big deal, and I'm quite sure that one will be 10 rounds too. Somebody may not get some air time, unless something changed. Anyhow, they will look great tonight!
Quillin vs WTF (Whoever Tha F*ck): Tonight is Quillin's night, and I expect him to give it his best. He's looking to win his first title tonight, so that hunger will be there. He just needs to be careful, and not get caught up in the moment. I've never seen his opponent before, so I can't make a sound assessment. I know one thing, these last-minute and unknown opponents have made their mark this year, so I wont count him out.
Malignnagi vs Cano: Paulie has done himself a solid by pumping this one up on Twitter, and for some reason, I feel like he's going to win by TKO tonight. Don't laugh at me, but I have a feeling. Cano had a mard time making weight, and that could play a part on his mental. Paulie will be bust tonight, because Cano is no slouch.
Alexander vs Bailey: Should be easy for Alexander tonight, but if he plays against himself and wears himself down, Bailey could get that late TKO. Something tells me that Bailey will take the fight to Devon and not sit back like he did with Jones. I see Devon landing and clinching his way back to the top.
Garcia vs Morales: Danny needs to go straight at Erik tonight, no bullshit. He sat back too much in the first fight, and got his face fixed. This fight did have a rematch clause, but I don't truly see a point in the rematch, though the first fight was close. With that mind, I'm sure Danny is pissed the fuck off about the whole Morales drug test nonsense, so he may want to beat Erik to a stupor.
No official predictions from me, but something tells me that somebody will hit the canvas tonight and surprise us all. We'll see...

Terrible new product
10 people found the following review helpful
Posted by Reviewer1996421 on Dec 28, 2013
Purchased at iHerb
Have been told that the complete Stevia product was in the past mixed and put together by one person who has left his company,and did not reveal the formular that he was using in the past.Recieved a 5lb bage on the 24th of December.My wife and I have been drinking the same coffee and using NuStevia for 5 or 6 years. This new stuff is terrible.No sweet taste at all and the price went sky high. Can't understand why the new product wasn't tried out and confirmed before it was pushed out to the public. Buyer Beware!!!!!

This product would be perfect if not for the addition of maltodextrin.
Forced scarcity

Price has skyrocketed over the last few months. For the longest time I paid about $45 per 5lb bag from iHerb. Five pound bags no longer available, except at the NuNaturals website, and at an outrageous price (over $1 an oz). Suspect, in light of Stevia becoming more widely popular, NuNaturals is forcing the price way up by fabricating scarcity. The Stevia plant is no more scarce now then it has been in the past. No legitimate reason for the price to have doubled in the last year. Do not buy from NuNaturals.
The sweetest diabetic friend I know with no extra calories consumed to go.

I recommend this sugar alternative hands down. It does what it's described will do. It is bitter free, natural, calorie free, twice the strength of sugar cane so half the strength of other sugar substitutes is used and it is so easy to use in my baking and cooking. I can substitute the sugar in any recipe I have chosen so far. It doesn't take long to learn what dose is required when using it in preparation of any recipe. Because I have diabetes in the family I know I am at risk myself so finding a product like this the "Stevia" in a Powdered concentrate is already to use. It is not only affordable but a far healthier choice in comparison to the others which are linked to cancer causing agents used to process the substitues. But the best thing of all for me is I don't have to forego my yummy sweet treats and it tastes soo good. Thankyou
Great value!

I use this NuNaturals stevia almost exlusively instead of sugar. This is a great value in a 5 pound bag. It is the same Non-bitter, zero calorie powder sold in 4oz and 12 oz sizes.
