Is there one book that is a "must have" that came out this week? My friends Andy Tom (@AndrewJTom), Chris Campbell (@ChrisCampbell8), Marc Diefenderfer (@Dief88), Shane Hannafey, Adam Besenyodi (@adambesenyodi), Joey Nazzari (@CaptDS9E), and I (@ChrisCCL) are sharing some comic book collected editions, reprints and/or graphic novels released this week that you may be interested in.
Picked by @AndrewJTom
My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic TP (IDW), $17.99
One of the most common characteristics of the Collected Edition buyer is that he or she is typically a busy person with many responsibilities. Typically in our latter years one of those primary responsibilities is the care and nurturing of children. I have two older sons who like superhero and adventure comics, but I've always found that I had trouble sharing my love of comics with my younger daughters. I bought my youngest daughter a copy of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic #1 at my LCS on one Saturday afternoon. It gave me an opportunity to not only share my hobby with my daughter, but to share it with her in a book that I know she would love. Many nights thereafter I found myself sitting on the side of my daughter's bed reading the adventures of Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie. Though, I initially dismissed this book as a comic "for little girls", I discovered that if a comic is done well… it can be enjoyable for (not only) little girls, but for the parents who read it to them. Katie Cook and Andy Price have taken a children's property and turned it into an enjoyable comic that can be appreciated by anyone. If you've been looking for a comic to share with your kids (both girls and boys), then this comic is one that I can recommend. A wonderful all ages story with some really great cartooning make this book a worthy successor to the hole left in the hearts of kids who miss Tiny Titans each and every month.
Also, a bit of advice… if you try and do the Pony voices every night at bedtime, you'll be paying for it in the morning.

New Warriors Omnibus Vol. 1 HC (Marvel)
Collects New Warriors #1-26 and Annual #1-2; Avengers #341-342; and material from Thor #411-412, New Mutants Annual #7, X-Men Annual #15, X-Factor Annual #6, Amazing Spider-Man Annual #26, Spectacular Spider-Man Annual #12 and Web Of Spider-Man Annual #8, 1064 pages, $99.99
There were always comic books that you worried your buddy down the street would "borrow" because they were just "that book" at the time. They were precious. Hell, some of these titles could serve as playground currency. This could apply to any number of comics throughout the years, but today we're talking New Warriors. Marvel has released a glorious omnibus covering the group's earliest appearances, as well as a good chunk of the ongoing series by Fabian Nicieza. The title eventually ran for 75 issues, but this is the magma, the good stuff, that made me love Nova, Firestar, Speedball, and the other members of the team. The comic involved a young, naive group of heroes that were essentially learning the ropes and fighting villains like the Sphinx (bonus points if you remember him from Wolfman's Nova run) and other characters in the Marvel universe such as the Punisher. It was fun to watch other heroes such as Darkhawk join the group temporarily, and watch the young-hero dynamic play out with all the ego and uncertainty. Capture some 90's magic and grab this at a discount.

Batman Beyond: 10,000 Clowns TP (DC Comics)
Collects Batman Beyond Unlimited #1-13, $16.99
Like Smallville Vol 1 which I recommended a few weeks back, Batman Beyond is another of DC's digital first releases, written by Adam Beechen, with art by the fantastic Norm Breyfogle. I have always been a fan of the Batman Beyond Universe, so I was very excited to hear that the digital comics would continue on from where the animated film Batman Beyond Return of the Joker ended. This trade covers the first giant arc called 10,000 Clowns. Joker Gangs from all over, are gathering in Gotham, and that can mean nothing but trouble. As future Batman Terry McGinnis gets further into his investigation he finds out that this gathering, and it's ensuing plot, hits very close to his personal life, and will be one of his toughest challenges as Batman yet. To stop the terror, Terry is joined not only by brand new heroes, but others from the Batman Legacy itself. I have read a good chunk of past Batman Beyond comics, and I can say that by the end of this story that not only will you be very entertained, but you will be craving to see what comes next in Terry McGinnis's universe.
Picked by @adambesenyodi
(Marvel Now!) Indestructible Hulk Vol. 1: Agent Of S.H.I.E.L.D. Premiere HC (Marvel)
Collects Indestructible Hulk #1-5. Includes designs, sketches, script, and pencils, $24.99
I haven't read a Hulk comic regularly since Bill Mantlo's run in the early '80s. Imagine my surprise when I happened upon a copy of Mark Waid's Indestructible Hulk #1 and was suddenly, completely swept up in the fun. The notion of Banner and Hulk working together with Director Maria Hill in a remote location (Bannertown!) and being deployed as a weapon of S.H.I.E.L.D. is everything you want in a book. The gorgeous art of Leinil Francis Yu provides the perfect visual complement to the story. The bonus here is that in addition to the usual extras we expect from our collected editions, this one also includes a code for a digital copy of the story. Among the Marvel NOW line, you could do worse than these great, green tales that stand on their own.
Picked by @Dief88
The EC Comics Library: Fall Guy For Murder And Other Stories by Johnny Craig (Fantagraphics), $28.99
Frank Frazetta, Harvey Kurtzman, and Wally Wood are all amazing artists, but to be honest, Fall Guy For Murder is the book I've been most looking forward to since Fantagraphics announced that it would be reprinting classic EC Comics stories in black and white. Johnny Craig may not be as well-known today as the other artists I mentioned (all of whom have already gotten their own reprint books from Fantagraphics), but to my mind his work at EC outshone all of theirs. This book's solicitation description describes Craig's style as "elegant," "crisp," and "contemporary" – all fitting adjectives. There was a good reason for his being asked by Al Feldstein to draw every single cover of EC's Vault of Horror series: Craig knew how to tell a whole story with one image. Remember that infamous EC Comics cover with the axe murderer holding up the decapitated woman's head? That was Craig's. This book has more than just horror stories, though. Craig did a ton of crime comics too, and it's amazing to see how that same clean, naturalistic style lends itself in totally different ways to the two genres. If you haven't picked up one of these black-and-white EC collections yet, there's really no better time to start.
Picked by @ChrisCCL
Bazooka Joe And His Gang HC (Abrams ComicArts), $19.95
When I was 15, I went away to Canadian Outward Bound located about 100 miles north of Thunder Bay. It was clearly stated that I couldn't bring anything other then my clothes and a toothbrush, but I managed to smuggle in a small bag full of Bazooka Joe gum. The gum, itself, was great and got me through some long days and nights while canoeing Lake Nipigon and the Black Sturgeon. But it was the silly juvenile comics that made me realize not to take life so seriously. It wasn't until 20 years later that I found out that the artwork for Bazooka Joe and His Gang was done by Wesley Morse, who created Tijuana Bibles in the 1930's! Note – every true comic book fan should own a Tijuana Bible. Anyway, jump to 2013 and Abrams ComicsArts has put together a 60 year celebration of the gum, the comics and the Americana that is Bazooka Joe. The 224 page book includes reproductions of more than 100 classic comics spanning six decades—including the complete first series, reprinted in its entirety for the first time—as well as jokes, fortunes, and tiny ads for mail-order merchandise.
Now it's your turn. What books that came out this week do you recommend? Take a look at the sidebar to see this weeks collected edition releases.

St. Claude Arts District Events
- Event:
- Steve Soltis – "Recent Works & Bad Inventions"
- When:
- Sat Jun 9, 2012 - Sat Jun 23, 2012 6 PM - 9 PM
- Where:
- Black Sheep Acres - New Orleans
- Category:
- Second Saturday Openings & Events
While on a retreat and working at Black Sheep Acres in Magnolia, Mississippi, Steve Soltis began to collect turn-of-the-century tools and found objects, gathered from a barn on-site. Assembled into off-kilter, absurdist inventions, these objects stand at the ready, eager to ensnare their user into injury, guffaws, and head scratching. The illusion of use wanes with inspection, begetting a sense of danger and comedy…visions of oneself trying to drive a nail with a spring necked hammer – or – to pitch hay with a chain handled pitchfork illustrate the tongue-in-cheek conceptual notion of Soltis' sculptures.
The paintings work as companions to the artist's found object assemblages. Hanging amidst wood and rusted metal objects, these oil on canvas works provide both conceptual dimension and express the artist's intention while at Black Sheep Acres. Soltis' earth-toned oil paintings depict bar patrons, passed relatives, Cherokee ghosts, and self-portraits expressing both the artist's psyche and evoking a universal sense of nostalgia. The quietude of Black Sheep Acres has allowed Soltis to flourish, and the works made during his residency express the maturity and humor of this mid-career artist.
Soltis has exhibited in countries across the globe, featuring solo exhibitions in Germany, Greece, Spain, and the United States, among others.

And we're off: Former Falcons cornerback Dunta Robinson reached agreement Friday night on a three-year deal with the Kansas City Chiefs.
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) March 9, 2013
The NFL's new Free Agency negotiating window weekend has begun and the Kansas City Chiefs kicked off the action by reportedly agreeing to a 3-year deal with veteran cornerback Dunta Robinson.
The 31-year old Robinson was cut by the Atlanta Falcons earlier this off-season, and was halfway through a six-year $57M deal. He began his career by playing 6 seasons with the Houstan Texans. Robinson played all 16 games last season for the Falcons, finishing with one interception, one forced fumble and 67 tackles.

Pope Benedict xvi showed his focus on Europe as he announced 22 new cardinals on January 7. Many of the appointments went to Vatican personnel—who tend to be more conservative and in closer contact with the pope. After the new nominations, 35 percent of cardinals under the age of 80 (cardinal electors—those eligible to elect another pope) will be Vatican officials.
Benedict's appointments especially focused on Europe. Sixty-seven out of the 125 cardinal electors will now be European. Latin America, the next most represented continent, has only 22.

The rumors were true. At least one ponycar is destined for NASCAR's Nationwide Series, as Ford confirmed it would offer a Mustang stock car to teams next year.
"We're excited about the new car," said NASCAR president Mike Helton. "It's going to be one good-looking race car."
Judging by the rendering released by Ford, that last point may a matter of semantics. A lot of the Mustang's visual identity, especially in the front fascia, seems to have been abandoned in the pursuit of aerodynamic perfection. Still, this is simply a rendering. We've yet to see the finalized car, and for that matter, NASCAR has yet to reveal the finalized body template.
"I think race fans--and Mustang loyalists--will be very pleased when we publicly roll out the first car later this fall," said Brian Wolfe, director of Ford's North American motorsports operations.
"We had been talking with NASCAR for some time about Mustang as part of its vision for a 'muscle car' rollout for the Nationwide Series. We loved the idea, so we jumped on the chance to extend Mustang's racing legacy to a new series."
We'reeager not only to see the finalized car, but also to take a look at whatever competitor Dodge may field. Early photos of a test vehicle showed a blunt nose that closely resembled the production Challenger. To date, Dodge hasn't revealed its new Nationwide Series car, or commented on its future involvement in the series, given Chrysler's recent financial woes.

There's currently an old ventless FP in my basement that 1) is way too big for the space and 2) has always made me nervous, especially since energy-efficient windows were installed in the basement last fall, replacing the old drafty, rotted (i.e., naturally ventilating) wood junk.
I tried running a small electric ceramic heater last winter when the weather got really chilly, in lieu of the FP, but that wasn't producing enough heat and also caused me to blow the circuit if we were doing too many things at once. In the end, I ran the FP only on the worst evenings, briefly cycling it on and off, with a window cracked - what a waste - and a carbon monoxide detector, of course. As we move toward our midwestern winter, I'm getting anxious about lighting it up again. It's on an outside wall, the NG line is there already but no vent, obviously. I'm on a really, really limited budget and before I even go looking at some small DV units, I'd like to have a general sense of what I'm looking at for installation expenses. Since it's below grade, how/where does the vent run high enough to clear ground level sufficiently? Inside the wall, meaning cutting into drywall/paneling? It's a raised ranch so "ground level," from inside the basement, is about 48" from the basement floor, so the vent run has a ways to go. I'm sure there's a code (in my locale, one can't sneeze without a permit) that specifies how high off the ground an exterior vent must be, so for the sake of this post, assume it's, say, 30", plus another 30" down to the FP box, right? So about 6 feet, plus breaking through masonry. What should/would something like that run me? If I were to buy one of the DV units at Costco or Sam's Club, would I be able to hire someone to do this, since the gas/electric lines are already in place, or is installing the vent a major job for a FP specialist? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by haus_proud (My Page) on Sat, Nov 7, 09 at 19:59
I can only tell you my experience. We had a direct vent insert installed about 2-3 years ago into our prefab fireplace in our living room, which is located on an outside wall. The cost was about $4K, and the installation took a whole day. These are not quick and easy installations. And you really need a COMPETENT, EXPERIENCED installer. They are hard to identify. I was disappointed with ours, and would not recommend him. I recommend you ask around for a recommendation from homeowners who have been through the process. After all is said and done, I have to say that they are a joy to have on a cold morning. If you decide to do it, make sure you get one with a remote thermostat. They are overpriced, but worth having. The other concern is that with retrofits there is a risk that the seal from outside air is incomplete. If that happens, you lose efficiency. But when they work right, they are a delight. |

We love it with...
Avery is rated out of 5 by 10.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sherry325 from WHAT MORE CAN I SAY THAN, "I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!" I wore Avery for the first time yesterday. I got so many compliments on it. I love the shade, and Julep polishes in general wear the best of any brand I've ever used. I only need to do a touch-up about once a week.
Date published: 2013-09-02
Rated 5 out of 5 by Amanda Kowalski from Hot Pink Best color for a summer pedicure So bright and lovely Two coats to perfection It goes on smoothly It has the typical neon finish kinda rubbery but a coat of Freedom top coat makes it shine
Date published: 2013-05-21
Rated 4 out of 5 by Soozn79 from Gorgeous color I love the color, fun and bright without being too neon, but it is thick. And yet it doesn't cover thoroughly enough to work with only one coat. And as others have said, it dries with a weird matte finish rather than glossy. It's a weird cloudy-looking dull sheen so I recommend adding a layer of top coat or glitter to spiff up the shine. I paired it with Paris glitter and they look fabulous together!
Date published: 2013-09-07
Rated 5 out of 5 by alicia from The best Julep formula I've come across Avery, Jackie, Leah, Bethany, Bess...they are my favourites from my rather large collection because of their PERFECT formula. So easy to work with, I've even bought a back up of avery-- it's my favourite julep nail polish of all time.
Date published: 2013-09-01
Rated 2 out of 5 by Lisa Stancil from Thin and matte This color did not look shiny like it does in the photos It seemed very thin and watery and dried looking very flat and matte I love the color but the formula is awful

Circus World whats that????????
I Know This Is Not A Disney Park But Does Anyone Remember Circus World. I Came Across This Old Picture Of Me When I Went To Disney World The Very First Time In 1977 And I Remember Going To Circus World. I Always Thought It Was Part Of Disney Until I Got Older And It Was Gone.does Anyone Know Whatever Became Of The Park?
Circus World whats that????????
My DeviantArt Page
I will answer this even though it has nothing to do with DisneyOriginally Posted by jarmitc2032
Circus World was an amusement park that had a circus theme, it went bankrupt and was closed down in the late 1980's.
By 1991 it had become Boardwalk and Baseball. It was an amusement park built on a boardwalk theme. It also had a minor league baseball stadium inside.
It was located 30 minutes south (towards Tampa) on I-4. Business was so bad after awhile the park just shut down in the middle of an operating day and they kicked everyone out of the park without a refund.

I loved Circus World!! I was a small child when it closed, much to my disappointment, as I longed for the day when I would be old enough for the tightrope or the trapeze in the audience participation circus. And that wooden roller coaster was just incredible!! To this day it's one of my favorite rides. I heard it was moved to a park in Arkansas.
At any rate, Circus World didn't go bankrupt, it was bought by Harcourt Brace Jovanovich during their 1980s buying spree, when they also acquired Sea World and Cypress Gardens. In 1986, HBJ decided they didn't like the Circus theme, so they shut it down for the Boardwalk and Baseball transformation. It reopened on Valentines Day 1987. In 1989, the by-now seriously in debt HBJ sold all of their parks at auction. Busch bought them out, and like Brian said, in the middle of an operating day in January 1990, the park was closed... I heard refunds were offered, but I wasn't there so I don't know for sure.
Boardwalk and Baseball was basically Circus World without a theme. Allegedly the theme was "seaside amusement park" or something like that, but Circus World's theming and activities were much, much better, IMHO. Boardwalk and Baseball just seemed like a shadow of Circus World's glory.
I think that park was ultimately doomed by location, that area of the I-4 corridor never exactly became a tourist mecca, it's too far from Disney for most people to pay it much attention, and it's not located in a big city that people might be visiting for other reasons. I'm pretty sure locals made up most of their attendance. It'll be interesting to see how Cypress Gardens does over the next few years. They've undergone this huge adventure park redesign, but is it going to be enough to attract tourists to beautiful downtown Winter Haven? I've loved Cypress Gardens all my life, but I'm local. I can't imagine coming to Disney from another state and thinking Cypress Gardens was important enough to warrant a day trip. Time will tell.
Circus World was so much fun when I was young..opps I still am young!! Anyway.. I have a picture somewhere around here of my family and we have our faces painted like clowns... my father is not the type of person to do a thing like that... So my mother had to beg him to get his face painted w/ us. She told him that EVERYONE gets their faces painted. He agreed.. Once it was done he realized that MANY children get it done... But not many of the parents! He was a little P*ssed at her. Especially when he had to stop for gas on the way home and go into the station to pay for it w/ a clown face on!!
Thanks guy I always wonder whatever happen to it. Everytime I look at some of the pictures we took there I kept thinking to myself was this ever a part of Disney? Like I said I was a little kid then and it was my first trip ever to Florida so every thing to me was DisneyWorld to me. I never new it was that far from the park I just assumed that it was close like Sea World and Universal. It 's a shame that they close it I think if they open it back up and put it closer to the WDW and the others I think they would make some money. Even though every time we go do to Disney we just stay in the Disney parks I think I would take a day and venture over there if it was still open. Oh well time will tell if they would ever bring it back I doubt it but it sure was a fun place while it was open.
Here are some great links to the old park:
I remember (vaguely) visiting as a kid, and then passing the B&B as I got older, wondering what that was like. I think the fact that it was kind of in the middle of "nowhere", too far away from WDW, etc., helped lead to its demise.

Host, Author & Site Owner
Circus World was in Haines City off of US27 near the intersection with I-4, as we made the trek from Naples to avoid the construction of I-75. The huge red and white striped tent was always a beacon that WDW was near, even though there was not much else around except for orange trees and the Mom and Pop stands. Sadly, we never visited.

Thanks for the great links Lou. It sure does bring back some great memories. I also think I saw Doug Henning there too I'm not 100% sure but we did see a magic act and it scare me have to death beacuse I thought the magican cut the lady head off for real.

Ah, I also remember going to Circus World back in 1977...in fact....here is just one photo that I took while we were there.
Keep your hands and arms inside the post at all times and remember no smoking or flash photography please!
Curses for being so young.... I think I would have really liked this park. I love the circus and really would like to try the trapeze and stuff. The only problem is i hate clowns... they're so scary
Wow... circus world. W Looping-- I won't spell the name, its probably blocked on this site.. although it truly was the name of the coaster, and think Oscar Mayer-- their roller coaster was one of the first coasters I ever went on. And I had a terrifying moment on their sultan thing-- I was a kid.. .the only one on the ride, and the darn thing changed directions at the top, but stayed there for a while-- I thought it broke down.
This was in the 80's at some point, I think it was right before the park changed hands-- there was NO ONE in the park
Been there, done that, got the clown faced picture to prove it!
We visited CW when I was a young kid ...Im a 40 yr old kid now (heehee)... anyway it was never crowded and once I remember my dad and sis riding the rollercoaster like 6 times in a row without ever getting off becuase there was no line.
So funny I saw this thread... my grandmother (who lived just outside the entrance to Downtown Disney) just recently passed away and while cleaning out her home I found an old photo album with pictures from one of my first trips to WDW as a kid. At the end of the album were pictures from some other park... all circus themed and I couldn't figure out where the heck it was. Thanks for the info... now I know!

The Blood Type Diet Archives Volume 1

In Response To: Read Eat Right For Your Type by Dr. D'Adamo (Sookie)
Dr. D'Adamo:
Have been studying the book for over a month now. I would like to know what your thoughts are regarding the use of genetically hybrid seeds and the resulting food allergies. I am inclined to believe that if many foods in the U.S. food supply were grown from pure seeds, many of the adverse reactions would not exist (i.e. wheat, corn, potatoes etc.) Do you know whether or not the lectins used in your laboratory research were derived from pure or gentically hybrid seeds?

10 Things We Expect To See At Kim And Kanye's Wedding
8. Soul food served on Hermes plates
Remember when Kim and Kanye first started dating and she made him a plate of soul food and put it on a Hermes plate? Of course you do. It almost blew up the Internet! So it wouldn't be right for these two to get married and not serve their first signature dish to their guests. Don't worry, we're sure Kanye will pick out a lot of other foods with names that are impossible to pronounce to serve, too. But the soul food is a must at this celebration.

The Environmental Protection Agency recently approved a label change to Delegate WG insecticide from Dow AgroSciences that now allows it to be used for suppression of Diaprepes root weevil in citrus.
The grubs or larvae of Diaprepes abbreviatus, also known as the citrus root weevil, feed on citrus tree roots, weakening or killing them, according to a news release.
In addition to direct damage, the feeding sites provide entryways for soilborne pathogens, such as Phytophthora.
Delegate contains the active ingredient spinetoram and belongs to the Insecticide Resistance Action Committee's Group 5.

BOONEVILLE, Ark. (AP) — A convicted killer who escaped an Arkansas prison turned himself in to authorities Thursday after about three months on the run.
Arkansas Department of Correction spokeswoman Shea Wilson says inmate Timothy Buffington went to a home in western Arkansas on Thursday and asked the resident to call Booneville police so he could surrender.
Authorities had been searching an area in Logan and Sebastian counties after someone spotted Buffington and called law enforcement.

Quick guide to coffee certifications
This is a quick guide to the most common certifications seen on coffee. Information on criteria is provided, emphasizing ecological and environmental standards. All these certifications require verification by third-party auditors; producers (and in some case buyers) must pay various fees associated with certification. You can find additional posts on the standards, marketing, and issues surrounding eco-certification in the certifications category of this site.
Bird-Friendly (Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center)
The only true "shade-grown" certification, developed by ecologists at the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center. Criteria include a canopy at least 12 meters high, a minimum of 40% shade cover, and 11 species of shade trees. Additionally, must also be certified organic. Bird-Friendly certification has the most robust shade/habitat standards of any coffee certification.
There is no minimum price set, but producers can use the certification to negotiate a better price for their coffee, generally an additional 5 to 10 cents per pound. Also, farmers typically receive a premium for their organic certification.
There is no certification fee, but producers must pay for initial and periodic audits. However, these are combined with organic certification audits, and Bird-Friendly certification lasts for three years, not just one. Importers pay a fee of $100/yr, and roasters pay 25 cents/lb. These fees support bird conservation research.
Only coffee certified by the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center can be called Bird-Friendly; look for this seal for authentic Bird-Friendly certified coffee.
More info:
- Quick reference to Bird-Friendly criteria
- Bird-Friendly home page
- Where to buy Bird-Friendly coffee
- Full criteria, including processing and marketing, here (PDF)
- List of Bird-Friendly farms
- Differences in the shade criteria of Bird-Friendly and Rainforest Alliance certifications
Rainforest Alliance
The Rainforest Alliance is an NGO with programs in several areas that promote standards for sustainability. Their sustainable agriculture program certifies many crops, including coffee.
Not exclusively an environmental certification, it covers a number of ecological issues as well as community relations and fair treatment of workers. Certification is awarded based on a score for meeting a minimum number of an array of criteria. There are no required criteria for shade management, but they are included in optional criteria; these shade criteria are not as strict as Bird-Friendly standards. Therefore it is important to note that Rainforest Alliance-certified coffee may not be shade grown. There is no organic requirement.
Fees to producers include an annual fee based on the size of the certified area, as well as annual auditing fees.
There is no minimum price set, but producers can use the certification to negotiate a better price for their coffee, generally an additional 5 to 10 cents per pound.
Examine the seal on the package carefully. Rainforest Alliance allows use of the seal on coffee that contains only 30% certified beans. The proportion should be indicated.
More info:
- Differences in the shade criteria of Bird-Friendly and Rainforest Alliance certifications
- More information on Rainforest Alliance (Sustainable Agriculture Network) criteria
- Rainforest Alliance coffee home page
- More on the percentage of certified beans allowed in Rainforest Alliance coffees
- Rainforest Alliance certified farms
Coffee sold as certified in the U.S. must be produced under U.S. standards established by the USDA's National Organic Program. Verification is carried out by accredited certifying agencies. Requirements for this seal include no use of prohibited substances on the land for at least three years. This includes most synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers. Other certification requirements include a buffer between the coffee and any other crop not grown organically, a plan that demonstrates methods that prevent soil erosion, and other sustainable agricultural criteria.
Fees to producers and buyers vary depending on the certification agency, and include annual auditing fees.
If organic coffee is purchased under a Fair Trade contract (see below), the producing cooperative receives a price premium of 15 cents a pound. Outside a Fair Trade contract, producers can use the certification to negotiate a better price for their coffee.

- Current U.S. organic agriculture regulations (technical)
- Pesticides used on coffee
- Facts about organic coffee — Organic Trade Association
- From the ground up: organic coffee certification, production, and processing, Coffee Talk Magazine, November 2009 (PDF)
- Resources on organic coffee
Fair Trade
Fair Trade is primarily concerned with alleviating poverty through greater equity in international trade; many products besides coffee can be Fair Trade certified. Fair Trade is governed in most of the world by the Fairtrade Labelling Organizations International (FLO). In the U.S., it is governed by Fair Trade USA, which resigned from the international system in early 2012. Under FLO, Fair Trade certification is only available to democratically-organized cooperatives of small producers, not individually-owned farms, estates, or farms that use hired labor. Fair Trade cooperatives receive a minimum price of $1.31 per pound, $1.51 if the coffee is also certified organic. How this price premium is distributed (to the farmers or to community projects, etc.) is up to the cooperative.
Under Fair Trade USA, independent small producers and estates can gain certification.
Currently, both organizations use the same or similar standards. These certifications has no criteria related to growing coffee under shade and standards regarding wildlife are relatively generic. It does not require organic certification (and the percentage of Fair Trade coffee which is also certified organic is sometimes overstated).
Fees to producers include an annual auditing fee.
More info:
- Details on Fair Trade environmental standards
- Frequently asked questions about Fair Trade
- Consumer Reports Fair Trade certification information
UTZ Certified
UTZ CERTIFIED Good Inside (formerly Utz Kapeh) certifies several agricultural products including coffee. Their emphasis is on transparency and traceability in the supply chain and efficient farm management. The latter includes good agricultural practices such as soil erosion prevention, minimizing water use and pollution, responsible use of chemicals, and habitat protection.
Certification requires compliance with mandatory control points; the number required increases over a four-year period. The standards in the Code that deal with the environment are quite general and lack specificity for meaningful protection of habitats and biodiversity. There is no requirement for using shade trees.
Fees to producers include auditing fees. The first buyer in the supply chain pays a small per-pound fee (just over 1 cent) that is passed along through the chain.
There is no minimum price set, but producers can use the certification to negotiate a better price for their coffee, currently around 6 cents/lb for arabica coffee.
More info:
- More on UTZ environmental standards
- UTZ Certified Code of Conduct (certification criteria) links; coffee specific standards in this PDF
- UTZ Certified producers
There are several other private or voluntary initiatives that provide standards under which coffee is produced.
- Read this post for detailed information on Starbucks CAFE Practices, which includes very good environmental standards and is third-party verified.
- This post has information on Nestlé's Nespresso AAA Sustainable Quality Coffee Program.
- This post has information on the 4C Code for commodity coffee.
Remember: These certifications cost the producers money — both in fees and in changes to their methods to achieve the standards. Yet certifications don't add intrinsic value to coffee. The extra money the farmer receives for the coffee is often entirely dependent on what the consumer is willing to pay for the social or environmental benefits of the product. Don't expect people in the developing world to shoulder the cost of keeping your world green, safe, and prosperous. Be willing to pay more for these certifications!

The widespread revelation about a data mining program that would make any hedge fund quant jealous drowned out more positive news of the week, including that the U.S. recovery continues its sluggish, yet positive pace with 175,000 jobs added in May.

We're about to have our lawn power seeded. What is the best grass to use in Kentucky? We are building a house on five acres in the country, so we don't plan on irrigating the lawn. What grass does best in the summer heat without watering? We expect that it might get a little brown in, say, August, but we're just looking for the best grass for this environment given that we don't plan on putting in irrigation for all five acres. Thanks! |

Process to become CMS Designated Test EHR
As part of meaningful use Stage 2's transition of care objective, measure #3 [PDF - 231 KB] requires eligible professionals (EPs) and eligible hospitals/critical access hospitals (CAHs) to either:
- Conduct one or more successful electronic exchanges of a summary of care document, with a recipient who has EHR technology designed by a different EHR technology developer than the sender's.
- Conduct one or more successful tests with the CMS designated test EHR during the EHR reporting period
CMS seeks to designate multiple "test EHRs" for EPs, eligible hospitals and CAHs to use if they elect to pursue the second approach to meet measure #3 of Stage 2's transitions of care objective.
Designated test EHRs will be registered on a software system, "EHR Randomizer", hosted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The NIST-hosted software system will randomly match an EP, eligible hospital, or CAH with a designated test EHR that is designed by a different EHR technology developer than theirs.
Based on the results of the Test EHR Pilot program, CMS and ONC have finalized the technical capabilities that need to be in place in order to be designated Test EHR and the test process to be followed by providers.
CMS and ONC launched the program on Jan 14, 2014 with designated Test EHRs that met the criteria and indicated interest in participating in the program.
To find out more about becoming a CMS designated test EHR, please read the "EHR Technology Developers" section of the FAQs on becoming CMS designated test EHR.

What is a meniscal cyst?
The meniscus is the cartilage pad that provides a number of functions to the knee's health. It serves as a shock absorber, provides stress transmission, enhances lubrication and even facilitates nutrition. When the meniscus is torn, a small cyst can form adjacent to the meniscus tear. This cyst is thought to develop as part of the body's healing response. The cyst is thought to develop by soft tissue surrounding the tear, which then develops a synovial lining with the secretion of synovial fluid into the cyst. In and of itself, a cyst is of little consequence and is present secondary to the meniscus tear. But sometimes the cyst itself causes discomfort and may be noticeable over the joint line where the meniscus is torn.
How does a meniscal cyst occur?
Meniscal cysts are usually seen with meniscal tears that occur with aging, although there may be an associated injury to the knee (pivoting or twisting injury). Kneeling or squatting may also cause tears of the meniscus. Given the number of meniscus tears, associated cysts are uncommon.
What increases the risk?
- Twisting, turning sports, in which the menisci can be sheared and torn
- Previous knee injury
- Associated knee injury, particularly ligament injuries
- Age, in which degenerative meniscus tears increase in frequency
What are the symptoms of a meniscal cyst?
- Pain, especially when standing on the affected leg, and tenderness along the joint of the knee
- Firm bump at the site of the cyst, more commonly over the lateral (outside) of the knee
- Cyst may become more apparent as knee is extended
- Occasionally, a painless bump
- Associated non-specific findings may include knee swelling, joint line tenderness over the affected meniscus, "locking" of the joint or ligament injury.
How is a meniscal cyst diagnosed?
Diagnosis is usually readily apparent by inspection and palpation of a discrete mass directly over a tender medial or lateral joint line. Diagnosis is confirmed by MRI, which shows both the meniscus tear and the associated cyst.
This condition should be distinguished from a "Baker's cyst" which is not really a cyst but a collection of fluid that accumulates usually on the medial (inside) back of the knee. This "cyst" in fact represents an area where the knee joint synovial lining extends into the back of the knee but is usually "uninflated." When the knee becomes swollen for any reason, fluid can expand this space and form a cyst. Most of the time the Baker's cyst requires no treatment and is observed on an MRI.
Are there any special tests?
- MRI is the standard test to confirm the diagnosis and demonstrate its extent and location.
- Ultrasound can also demonstrate the cyst, and can be used to target aspiration (placing a needle into the lesion and drawing out the contents, usually a viscous, yellow, oily synovial fluid).
How is a meniscal cyst treated?
Non-operative treatment
A meniscus cyst does not obligate surgical treatment. If incidental or minimally symptomatic, it may require nothing more than occasional icing and/or anti-inflammatory medicine. The cyst may be aspirated using local anesthetic and a small needle to remove the cysts' contents. However this is usually only temporarily effective, and the fluid returns. Some physicians will advocate instilling a small amount of cortisone into the cyst, though the merits of this approach are unproven. A meniscus cyst does not necessarily grow or change, and there is no overt reason one must have it operated upon.
Operative treatment
Surgery is often recommended as definitive treatment. This is accomplished by arthroscopy, in which a small camera is introduced into the knee joint, and another small portal (opening) is made to permit instruments to be brought into the joint. During arthroscopy, the torn meniscus is identified and surgically debrided, removing pathologic tissue using a motorized shaver to which suction has been attached. Because there is always a communication with the adjacent meniscus cyst, probing to identify and decompress the associated cyst is imperative. A shaver decompresses the cyst. Once the meniscus tear is cleaned up and the cyst is decompressed, the symptoms will resolve and the cyst will disappear.
What are the complications of treatment?
Possible complications of non-operative treatment include:
- Persistence or increase of cyst.
Possible complications of operative treatment include:
- Inadequate meniscectomy or cyst decompression, with residual cyst prominence and/or pain
- Loss of normal meniscus due to surgical excision, with subsequent risk of arthritis
- Surgical complications of arthroscopic surgery
When can you return to your sport or activity?
Although meniscus cysts do not "heal," they may become asymptomatic over time, particularly with activity modification. If the cyst is not symptomatic, there is no reason one cannot participation in any sport. If surgery is performed to address the meniscus and decompress the cyst, return to activities can be as early as 3 weeks.
How can a meniscal cyst be prevented?
There is no established means by which cysts can be specifically prevented. Maintaining good fitness and conditioning can preclude injury to a vulnerable knee. Athletes should wear proper protective equipment and ensure correct fit, including the proper length cleats for the surface.
