City staff you may contact about the new flood hazard zones and the resulting restrictions on your property
Mike Enright, Supervising Engineer - representing the City Flood Plain Administrator at (707) 543-3264, or
Rita Miller, Supervising Engineer- regarding the FEMA flood hazard study for the Naval, Roseland Colgan Creek watersheds at (707) 543-3879.
With these maps, residents and businesses have up-to-date, reliable, Internet accessible information about their flood risk on a property-by-property basis. Community planners, engineers, builders and others will be better able to make important determinations about where and how new structures and developments are built.
The maps are considered preliminary throughout a Public Appeal Period which runs through November 3, 2011. During this appeal period residents may submit appeals and protests if they disagree with the maps and believe an error has been made. Property owners who want to appeal are required to submit the scientific or technical data intended to negate or contradict FEMA's findings to Santa Rosa's Chief Building Official, also the City Flood Plain Administrator. Click here for more specific information about protests and appeals.
At the end of the Appeal Period, the City will evaluate all appeals and submit our findings to FEMA. Once FEMA reviews all appeals and protests and incorporates any needed map changes, they will issue a Letter of Final Determination. Six months later, the maps will be adopted and become effective, as will any new flood insurance requirements. However, please be aware that starting immediately, the City intends to use these flood hazard maps to help determine requirements for construction and development.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the new flood maps?The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) recently developed new flood maps which show preliminary flood hazard zones for southwestern Santa Rosa within the Naval, Roseland and Colgan Creek watersheds. These maps indicate the risk for flooding within the Naval, Roseland and Colgan Creek watersheds, areas which had never been studied or mapped. The new maps will provide detailed, reliable and current data on the flood hazards in these areas.
More specifically, what is a Flood Hazard Map?The new preliminary flood maps are formally referred to as Flood hazard maps and are also called "Flood Insurance Rate Maps" or "FIRMs". These are used to determine the flood risk to your home or business. The low- and moderate-risk zones are represented by the letter "X" or an "X" that is shaded. The inland high-risk zones are considered "Special Flood Hazard Areas" and are labeled with designations such as "A", "AE", "AO" or "AH".
How were the new flood hazard maps developed and what do they mean?The new flood hazard zones were developed by FEMA through a comprehensive technical evaluation as to how Naval, Roseland and Colgan Creeks would function during intense rain events, more specifically, the 100- and 500-year storm events. To clarify what is meant by the term "100-year flood", it is the flood elevation that has a 1-percent chance of being equaled or exceeded each year; it is not the flood that will occur once every 100 years. The likelihood of a flood occurring within a 100-year stretch of time is very high, but there's no way to predict when the next flood will occur – or the one after that.Flood hazard ratings for properties within the Naval, Roseland and Colgan Creek watersheds include areas of high, moderate or low flood risk. The new maps also serve as Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs). It should be noted that flood hazard risk designations may trigger the requirement for flood insurance.
What are the benefits of the new Flood Hazard Maps?The maps will benefit numerous groups of people in different ways:
The result: a better picture of the areas most likely to be impacted by flooding and a better foundation from which to make key decisions.
How do I determine if my property is located in this area?The new preliminary maps are available for public review. Click this link to the Public Silverlight GIS Viewer. Once there, on the left side of the map, check the box next to FEMA. To locate your address, enter either your APN or street address in the Search box at the top right of the window. Any results will show on the left of the screen. You can zoom into the location by clicking on the result and selecting "Zoom to Feature".
How will the new flood hazard maps affect me?Some properties in the neighborhoods that adjoin Naval, Roseland and Colgan Creeks within southwestern Santa Rosa will be affected by these map changes. And, there will be many properties that are not affected.If the new maps – once adopted – indicate that the building on your property is within an AE zone and now designated at a high risk for flooding, you will be required to purchase a flood policy if you carry a mortgage from a federally regulated lender. If you do not have a mortgage, it is still recommended that you purchase flood insurance. Over the life of a 30-year loan, there is about a 3 times greater chance of having a flood in your home than having a fire. And, most homeowners' insurance policies do not provide coverage for damage due to flooding.How might the new flood maps affect me financially?When the new maps are officially adopted, if your structure is mapped into a high-risk area and you have a mortgage with a federally regulated lender, you will need to purchase flood insurance. If your property is mapped into a low- or moderate-risk area, you are not required to purchase or maintain insurance, but are strongly encouraged to do so. The cost of properly protecting your home and contents from flood damage is far less expensive than the cost to repair or replace it after a flood.Through the National Flood Insurance Program, coverage can often be obtained at significant savings. According to FEMA's literature, the average cost for a flood insurance policy is around $500 per year. Further, homeowners may qualify for a preferred Risk Policy that covers both a structure and its contents for as little as $112 per year. Coverage for renters starts at just $39 a year. Talk to your insurance agent to determine the appropriate level of protection you need and the money savings options that are available. For more information on flood insurance, visit www.floodsmart.gov.
Why were there no flood zones in the southwest area before now?FEMA has not determined that there are flood hazards now that did not exist before. This is the first detailed mapping effort in Sonoma County by FEMA since the 1970's. The southwest area was more rural with larger lots and fewer homes at the time of the first mapping effort. FEMA designated the southwest area as Zone D, "flood hazard undetermined", on the original Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) published in the 1980's. The only change by FEMA since then was to change the background of the FIRM to aerial photos.
What if my home or business is mapped into a high-risk area but I believe the designation is in error?Flood map designations are always based on the best data available to engineers and local officials at the time areas at surveyed and assessed. Every effort is made to ensure that the maps reflect the most accurate and reliable information about the flood risk for all properties.Currently, the maps are still known as preliminary and a Public Appeal Period will run through November 3, 2011. This is a time when residents may submit appeals and protests if they disagree with the maps and believe an error has been made. Property owners who want to appeal are required to submit the scientific or technical data intended to negate or contradict FEMA's findings to Santa Rosa's Chief Building Official, also the City Flood Plain Administrator. Please click here for more specific information about protests and appeals.
The mailing address for Santa Rosa's Flood Plain Administrator is: 100 Santa Rosa Avenue, Room 3, Santa Rosa, CA 95404
At the end of the Appeal Period, the City will evaluate all appeals and submit our findings to FEMA. Once FEMA reviews all appeals and protests and incorporates any needed map changes, they will issue a Letter of Final Determination. Six months later, the maps will be adopted and become effective, as will any new flood insurance requirements.

Concierge.com's insider take:
It's still shocking to many porteños that Puerto Madero—once a run-down dock area—has now surpassed Recoleta as B.A.'s highest-rent district. It's a barrio that didn't even officially exist until 1994, when massive renewal transformed a jumble of derelict brick warehouses and deserted streets into the TriBeCa of South America. These days, the four diques (locks) that define the old port are home to Cabaña Las Lilas, the best steakhouse in Argentina; Santiago Calatrava's lyrelike suspension bridge, Puente de la Mujer; and Faena Hotel + Universe, the mind-bogglingly over-the-top hotel that design superstar Philippe Starck carved out of a 1902 industrial grain warehouse.

Anthony Daniels, the definitive voice behind the lovable "Star Wars" droid C-3PO, thinks that the forthcoming "Episode 7" could be better than "The Empire Strikes Back."
Robotics is heating up, but the shape and function of today's robots are the polar opposite of humanoid robots that proliferate in popular culture.

"I was very impressed with the range of people there, it was great to feel like part of this whole other community." -Michele L, Brooklyn Host
This past weekend was a milestone in Airbnb history; our first official community-organized meetup took place in NYC! With the heroic efforts of our SuperHost Annie, generosity of Lisel and her Brooklyn brownstone, and enthusiasm of our NYC community, last Sunday's soiree turned into an exemplary display of how to throw an Airbnb meetup.
Taking cues from Annie and the gang we've outlined how you too can throw an Airbnb sponsored community get-together:
Create the event-
- Declare your interest in organizing a meetup- Contact firstname.lastname@example.com with subject line, "I want to throw a meetup!"
- Propose a purpose- Who is this meetup for (hosts, guests, everyone)? Why do you want to get this group together (discuss how to be a better host, casually meet over drinks, explain to new members what it's like)?
- Set a date and time- During the day? On the weekend?
- Find a location- Search through your city to find an Airbnb location you'd like to throw the event at and we'll put you in touch (hint: search for amenity "Suitable for Events").
Preparing for the event-
- Feed your guests- Will there be alcohol? Will catering be necessary? Or, is it a chance for Airbnb-ers to show off their cooking genius with a potluck dinner?
- Prepare your guests- Are there any special directions or notes to send to the guests prior to the day of the meetup? Provide us info and we'll get it to the right people.
- Inform your guests- Want to print handouts? Name tags? We have some suggestions but tell us what you envision your Airbnb meetup to look like.
At the event-
- Snap some pictures- Let's document and share your experiences with the global Airbnb community.
- Gather feedback- We want to know how to improve Airbnb for everyone, from the streets of NYC to the hills of Morocco, and unfortunately we can't be in thousands of places at once.
- Have fun- You'll be amazed at the number of different and amazing people who live right in your backyard!
Not ready to throw a meetup but interested in being involved in your local Airbnb community? Offer your place or culinary skills for future meetups by emailing email@example.com and keep a lookout for email invitations to attend an event near you!

Following rejection by Giovanni Trappatoni, Sacchi was contacted, and agreed to have his name put forward to be considered for the post, but insisted that discussions would have to be held in Bologna, rather than Abuja.
A three-man team of top Nigerian football officials are expected to leave the UK this weekend and are expected to be in Italy next week to speak to the legendary former AC Milan manager who master-minded Italy's march to the World Cup Final in 1994.
Sacchi's last job was as Real Madrid's Director of Football between 2004 and 2005, but his representatives say his period of inaction was out of personal choice, and not for want of suitable offers.
England's Hoddle was added to the shortlist by the Nigeria officials during the course of last week's trip to England, where they met with Bruno Metsu, Ratomir Djukovic and Lars Lagerback.
Hoddle flew into London from Spain, where he owns and runs the Glenn Hoddle Academy. His presentation is said to have impressed the Nigeria officials, particularly National Sports Commission Director General Patrick Ekeji.
Prior to leaving for London, Ekeji is said to have tongue-lashed the NFF officials at the lack of a genuine world class name left in their shortlist, and after listening to Hoddle, appears to be strongly in favour of having him take charge of the Super Eagles both for the short and long term.
It is also understood that Hoddle is not making outrageous financial demands, which also sits well with Ekeji.
A final shortlist of three will be submitted to the NFF board, and vetted by the Ministry of Sports, who will be partly responsble for the new man's wages, before the new coach is named on February 28.

Rising cost of education is inescapable
Written by Opinion Tuesday, March 26, 2013 02:15 pm
< Prev | Next > |
To the editor:
In response to Ms. Janis Hetrick's March 21 letter, "The sky is not the limit;" I have been an elected Board of Education member since 1984. Throughout my 29 years of service I have tried to maintain a balance between the educational needs of the students of Egg Harbor Township, as well as the concerns of the taxpaying community.
Schools have changed drastically in the last decades. The "Three R's" are no longer a foundation for today's education process. Choices in programming have expanded to include arts, music, a multitude of world languages, gifted and talented programs, as well as a wide array of sports and activities. When we think we have added as many programs, sports, and activities as possible, parents come to us to petition for more.
Special education programs are among the most expensive programs to run. Just one child's individual education plan can be in excess of $200,000. And our special education numbers have increased dramatically.
Unfortunately, "state mandate/state pay" often does not come to fruition, leaving the district to come up with the additional money required to be in compliance.
Regarding Ms. Hetrick's quote:, "the school board has never seen a tax increase it didn't love," I would like to advise her that we have cut $2.8 million from the 2013-2014 budget.
Regarding the $1.77 million in aid we received, the money was not squandered, but held onto to offset this current year's budget. Just as individuals cannot escape rising prices on supplies, fuel, and everyday purchases, nor can the Board of Education.
I must admit that I am insulted by Ms. Hetrick's statements. Although I am an elected official, I would like to remind Ms. Hetrick that I have been an unpaid volunteer for 29 years, choosing to dedicate myself to serving the children of Egg Harbor Township.
I would like to personally invite Ms. Hetrick to our bi-weekly public meetings, or better yet, encourage her to run for the Board of Education in the upcoming November election so that she can become part of the solution.
James Galvin, president

Now review from the App.
where do i start?
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I ride it all over the place, from the park to the pow and let me say that this thing rips! I've been riding the machete gt for a few seasons now and I can't say enough good things about it. I love that theres a bit of traditional camber built into this board, so theres a bit more stability and pop. Pretty lightweight, definitely durable, and very responsive. I love that this board is a little stiffer for those hard charging days, but the twin shape lets me cruise through the park with ease. This is the only board to get the job done

Academic Affairs / Provost
Academic Council Minutes
Tuesday, February 11, 2014
3:30 p.m.
The Academic Council functions as the primary organizational group for department chairs and deans. The Council functions in an advisory capacity to the Provost/Chief Learning Officer for Academic Affairs. The Council recommends actions to the Provost who either responds or directs the recommendations to the proper person or organization within the university governance structure. These recommendations will indicate the Council's majority opinion on an issue or a call for action. The recommendations will be in writing and will contain the appropriate individual or group to receive the recommendation.
I. Approval of Minutes from January 10th, 2013
-Minutes approved as written
II. Department Chair Discussions with Provost
A. Faculty classifications and categories/levels - upcoming discussions (Dr. Curtis)
There was an ad-hoc faculty senate committee and input solicited from Deans; Dr. Curtis informed us that we are engaged in discussions about what types of faculty classifications will help us meet our needs most appropriately. We need to move forward. Are we appropriately staffing our programs? Keep an eye on current needs but also future needs and learn to interact in an effective way with our adjunct faculty; there is a lot of work going on at other institutions along these lines. What do your accreditors say about staffing. Would like to move forward this spring. Second half of charge for the ad-hoc committee is faculty load.
B. Internships - update on discussions (Dr. Curtis)
All internships should have clearly defined criteria coming through any department. How do experiences connect with outcomes of program? Deans have been asked to respond to Provost Curtis this week with evidence that appropriate documentation is provided. What type of supervision is provided by the University and how does this figure into faculty load? Lack of supervision may lead to lack of documentation…
When will we have more information about categories and load? – we need to be able to quantify time spent in supervising load. We will not have a one-size-fits-all. We need a good sense of what is expected in internships.
Faculty categories will be a lot harder to define and agree upon.
-how do contact hours required for internship supervision equate with credit hours? How does this translate to load? Will a formula be developed and be consistent across the university? (probably not. There are different expectations from internship to internship)
-is anyone giving retroactive credit for experience that was not approved prior to beginning the internship?
-EDFL is looking at online/Blackboard advising…the catalog is one big PDF…very bulky.
What about the idea of different "tracks"? Ie, tenure track, practice track, clinical track, etc.
Market value – we seek individuals to teach and supervise who are very qualified in their field and they receive far less pay with us than in their field
Is this a cultural problem? Adjuncts often are not ever included in department meetings etc. Full profs may have certain beliefs about their roles and the responsibilities of others.
In faculty guide, instructors are not required to sit on committees
[Deans and others are invited to arrive at 4pm]
III. Questions on Written Reports
A. No reports submitted
IV. Information Items
A. New items
1. University Council for Student Development Committee (UCSD update) (Ken
-how do we get students into the university and how do we keep them once they get here?
-this charge and group have gotten much larger
-the is a recommending board, does not make decisions (are recommendations made public?)
-minutes are not posted on website but can be
2. HLC Update (Mike Grelle)

-team has only 5 people
-so far has not requested to meet with Academic Council
-letter w final schedule will go out to faculty & staff

-teams working rooms will be in Union 231 & 233
-"Reasons to Believe" showcase will be Monday afternoon 3-5 (everyone welcome)
-one meeting is an open meeting with the faculty – please encourage everyone to come!
B. Previous items
V. Discussion Items
A. Can we purchase a data management system ie TaskStream?
-we need an accountability management system.
-Skip Crooker has been working on developing something "home grown"
-we thought we could use the Blackboard system but that did not work out
-we could bring in vendors, ask for bids
-do we want something that adds a student fee? Cost per student that students absorbs for university
-needs to be easy to input data, produce reports, run statistical analyses, etc.
-Skip will develop a system that can be accessed by everyone
-each program can identify the variables etc
-is there a time frame on this?
-HLC is taken care of – we will be using their system after this visit (it is only good for HLC)
C. Late start (ie snow and ice days) on TR vs MWF...classes start at different times
-Simple communication error
-Many exceptions to rules (irregular class times)
C. Timing of course evaluations
D. Reorganization of Grad School, Extended Campus, and OSP
* Innovation campus update
-revisiting building plan and some of you have been asked for input.
-Summit Tech and Summit Center are at same place right now. Phase II will be 75,000 sq feet of space and a group is moving forward to plan for that space.
* OSP update
* Dean or Director for Graduate Studies
-these 3 areas will be split apart
Recruitment & Outreach (Dr. Sluder) will get Extended Campus (Laurel Hogue)
We will "grow your own" Director of OSP
Graduate school – Tina Church does most of the administrative work in the Graduate School. We will continue to have these discussions. Would like to have better connection between academic units and Graduate School; establish a Graduate 'Cabinet' with representation from each college. Not doing search for Dean of Grad School and do not plan to right now. Graduate & Research discussions are virtually invisible and this needs to change. Grad studies are not at all part of the Learning to a Greater Degree contract.
VI. Other Items As May Arise
VII. Future Agenda Items
A. Admission standards, enrollment targets, and quality of students
B. Data Warehouse - Dr. Skip Crooker
● General update
● How should requests for data be submitted?
● How is retention tracked? Are there data that show retention from semester to semester in a program?
Respectfully submitted by Nicole M. Nickens

RG 231 introduces, for those entities that fall within what the regulatory guide defines as an "infrastructure entity", requirements to disclose against 9 benchmarks on an "if not, why not?" basis and also to make disclosure in 11 prescribed areas called "disclosure principles". These new disclosure requirements apply to infrastructure entities in addition to the existing disclosure framework.
ASIC believes that the new disclosure regime, as set out in RG 231, will assist in ensuring that infrastructure entities identify the key risk areas and provide information that ASIC believes that retail investors need in order to make an informed investment decision.
ASIC is of the opinion that it is important to refine disclosure in this area as infrastructure entities typically have complex characteristics and in the past few years, there has been significant deterioration in the value of some infrastructure entities, resulting in a loss of retail confidence in the infrastructure sector. The new disclosure framework will hopefully inspire greater retail investor confidence, noting that it is anticipated that significant amounts of capital will be sought from the public over the next decade for investment in infrastructure entities.
Following the consultation process, ASIC has taken account of many industry concerns. An overview of ASIC's refined position on the key aspects of the new disclosure framework, as set out in RG 231, is as follows:
ASIC's initially proposed definition of infrastructure entity was broad and may have had unintended consequences.
ASIC has now clarified that the definition clearly excludes managed investment schemes and investment companies whose assets primarily comprise listed infrastructure assets and infrastructure management businesses that provide services to an infrastructure entity.
It is worth noting that the definition extends to both listed and unlisted entities that make offers to retail investors.
An infrastructure entity is required to prepare and have approved by its directors an internal 12 month operating cashflow for which an 'independent suitably qualified person or firm' provides, in accordance with accounting standards, negative assurance on the reasonableness of the assumptions used in the forecasts and also a positive assurance that the forecast is properly prepared on the basis of the assumptions and consistent with accounting policies adopted by the entity.
The entity is also required to prepare an internal unaudited cash flow forecast for each new significant infrastructure asset acquired by it.
There is a concession for infrastructure assets in their first year of operation.
Before any new material transaction, and at least once every three years, an "assurance practitioner" must perform an agreed upon procedures check on the infrastructure entity's base-case financial model that, essentially, verifies the mathematical accuracy of the model and includes no findings that would, in the infrastructure entity's opinion, be materially relevant to the infrastructure entity's investment decision.
In addition, an infrastructure entity is also required to disclose, in prescriptive detail, certain information concerning its base-case financial model used in respect of the acquisition of a "significant infrastructure asset". Contentiously, ASIC also calls for disclosure of a reasonable estimate of the operating capacity of the entity's significant infrastructure assets, and disclosure of any material discrepancies between the assumptions contained in the entity's base-case financial models used for each of debt and equity raisings.
ASIC has separated out the requirements for disclosure of information in relation to base-case financial models into a benchmark and a disclosure principle. There is a question mark as to the value of the benchmark, given that what is being performed by the assurance practitioner is in essence a calculation exercise.
ASIC has persisted with a prescribed list of disclosures for base-case financial models, even though it notes that the submissions it received with respect to these disclosure requirements were "largely unsupportive".
Of particular note, is the requirement to disclose material discrepancies between the assumptions used in the models used to raise debt and equity. This is because there will necessarily be differences between those assumptions due to the distinction in the nature and requirements of debt and equity investors.
ASIC's thinking behind this disclosure is that investors should be better able to compare relative risks and returns of infrastructure entities.
There has been a significant movement by ASIC in this regard as, originally, ASIC proposed prescribed financial ratios considered by many industry members to be too narrow and potentially misleading. Now ASIC provides "guidance", as opposed to prescriptive financial ratios, for entities to disclose against and leaves the door open for entities to use other financial ratios that they may deem appropriate for their particular circumstance (or to make no disclosure of ratios at all, if they so choose).
There remains some scepticism among industry players and observers about this additional disclosure regime and what some regard as the inherent bias against the infrastructure sector. That said, we think that RG 231 represents a real compromise, taking account of the lessons of previous market failures and the views of industry participants.
It is important to note that the new disclosure framework is also consistent with ASIC's approach to selecting what it deems to be key high risk areas and rolling out its "if not, why not?" disclosure framework (as modified to the particular area of concern).

Species: Corsac Fox (Steppevos)
Latin name: Vulpes Corsac
Originates from Central Asia.
Current status: Least Concern.
Did you know:
…The fur of the Corsac Fox changes during Winter, not unlike that of the Arctic Fox.
…It's coat becomes much thicker, and more silky in texture, and becomes stray-grey in color, with a darker line running down the back; this compared to the yellowish fur during Summer, with pale underparts, and markings on mouth, chin and throat.

Drought hits Brazil's coffee industry
Brazil's coffee fields are busy at this time of year - from now until September, thousands of coffee pickers will spend their days in the fields stripping the bushes and bagging up the beans.
But the bushes are not as fruitful as they have been in recent years. January and February, which normally host the rainy season, were the driest in decades and that has hit the country's coffee growing region hard.
Coffee farmer Diogo de Oliveira Marcio shows me the impact on his crop - an entire field of coffee bushes with drooping leaves, desperate for water.
He points out that the younger bushes have faced the biggest problems. Their root systems are not as established so they have not been able to get the water that they need.
Coffee facts
- In 2013, some 146 million coffee bags were produced globally; Brazil produced 49 million
- About 40% of the coffee Brazil produces is for domestic consumption
- The US is the biggest retail coffee market at $12bn; Brazil is number two
- Finland is the most caffeinated country in the world - 8.4kg consumed per person each year
Sources: Euromonitor/ICO/ABIC
"The fruit has been lost and there's no way back," he tells me, cracking open some cherries which contain the beans. "They are all shrivelled and dry - there's nothing inside."
One expert told me that on average, 100kg of coffee cherries picked from a tree normally yields about 50kg of green (unroasted) coffee beans.
The lack of water, though, means that from younger trees farmers are only getting about 30kg of green coffee this year. It is slightly higher for older trees - between 35 and 40kg.
Brazil is the world's biggest coffee producer, accounting for about a third of global production. It produces more than half of the world's arabica coffee - the most popular bean used in espressos and cappuccinos globally.
So the drought has had an impact on prices. And it has coincided with a leaf rust that has damaged crops in Central America, further hiking up prices.
In November, arabica futures for July delivery stood at $1.09 a lb on the ICE Futures US exchange. The price all but doubled to more than $2 in April and is now hovering around the $1.70 mark.
Although coffee farmers are getting more for their bags, it cannot compensate for a poor harvest.
"Coffee has risen in price but it still costs us a lot," says Diogo. "We're spending lots of money on people to harvest the beans which are of a lower quality so it's really difficult."
A short drive away from Diogo's coffee farm is Espirito Santo do Pinhal - the centre of the area's coffee economy.
Farmers at the local co-operative, COOPINHAL, are bringing their harvested beans to store in the warehouse.
Talking to farmers here, the concern is not just about this year's crop, but next year's too.
"Farmers are worried about the effect the drought's had," says Alexandre Husemann da Silva, the president of the co-operative.
"The lack of water meant that the plants grew less than normal - so they only produced beans in the part that grew. Because of that, losses will be higher next year than this year."
But despite prices rising on concern over the crop size, this year so far has not seen a supply problem in the global coffee market.
Producers have been selling their stocks from previous years which has kept supply up in the market. And on the demand side, many big coffee buyers have locked in lower prices.
Arabica v robusta
- Arabica (pictured) and robusta are the two main types of coffee bean used commercially
- Arabica accounts for about 75% of world production but you'll find both are used in coffee shops around the world
- Roasters vary the quantity of each depending on how they want their blend to taste
- The arabica bean is sweeter; robusta harsher with more caffeine
"Roasters buy in the futures market sometimes years in advance," says Mauricio Galindo of the International Coffee Organization. "This provides protection in case coffee prices start soaring."
Joao Staut, a director at exporter Qualicafex in Espirito Santo do Pinhal, says it is too early to speculate on whether next year's crop will be worse than this year's, but one thing is certain - the price of coffee for the consumer will eventually go up.
"Several roasters bought their needs some time ago but now they are covering the future and the future is not the same," he says. "It's unavoidable that you are going to pay more for your coffee in the coming months."
Back at the co-operative though, as the machines loudly sort the good beans from the bad, the focus is on selling the beans that have survived the drought.
In this noisy warehouse, the price of a cappuccino is not on producers' minds.

Bars and liquor stores weren't the only sources of negative news. Coors received complaints from people in at least ten states -- from concerned parents and school board members to police officers -- worried that kids would start drinking Zima because it tasted more like a soft drink than an alcoholic beverage. Rumor had it that Zima couldn't be detected by a breathalyzer. "There have been perceptions that Zima is a fad with teens," says Bart Alexander, group manager of alcohol issues at Coors. "We were a little confused by that. Zima is sold as a unique alcoholic beverage, and each bottle says it's a unique alcoholic beverage.
"There was some concern because it was clear," Alexander continues, "but if kids want to sneak something clear in their drinks, they can mix vodka with orange juice and rum with Coke. We don't want any underage consumers."
On June 29 of this year, Coors released its second-quarter returns. The company reported a net income of $15.2 million, or 40 cents per share, down 36.5 percent from $23.9 million, or 63 cents per share, a year earlier. Net sales for the second quarter were $399.5 million, down 7.6 percent from $432.2 million in the second quarter of 1994.
The brewery blamed some of the recent loss on increased costs, but it fingered Zima as the real culprit. "The company's lower results for the second quarter of 1995 were primarily attributable to a decrease in Zima Clearmalt volume, as well as higher aluminum and other packaging-material costs," Coors announced in releasing the figures. "Zima Clearmalt sales volume in the second quarter of 1995 declined approximately 60 percent from a year earlier. As a result, total Coors Brewing Company sales volume of malt beverages for the second quarter of 1995 was 4,842,000 barrels, down 6.3 percent from a record 5,166,000 barrels sold a year earlier."
The Zima Beverage Company, an operating unit of Coors set up to market the clearmalt beverage, thinks the parent company sold its baby short with that announcement. "The company is coming back and trying to repeat last year's numbers," brand manager Mark Lee says. "But when you don't have the benefit of all that trial and you've shaken down to a base of committed users, it's quite natural that the brand dropped off to a level of consistent use."
Coors CEO Peter Coors did offer a brief rationale for Zima's decline in the earnings announcement, but since it was buried four paragraphs down in the release, many people missed it. "Since Zima is a higher-margin profit," Coors said, "the decline in volume compared to last year hurt our profitability through the second quarter."
Over the past six months, however, Zima has held on to a 0.8 share of the beer market, according to data from A.C. Nielsen, which tracks liquor sales.
Zima also outsells Beck's, Rolling Rock, Samuel Adams, and Molson Ice.
And it is currently the leader of the wine coolers.
"It's unfortunate the way Zima was positioned in that announcement," says Zima's assistant brand manager Julie Demlow. "I think the combination of the media and the announcement, which certainly put a lot of focus on Zima's performance, were equally at fault. Zima is still a very respectable piece of business that is making the company a profit."
Zima also marks one of the few times -- perhaps the only time -- Coors has forced the competition to their drawing boards. "Zima had such an amazing trial. I don't know of any other alcoholic beverage in the past decade that had nearly half of all alcohol consumers try it," Lee says. "Our trial curve was so huge we almost hit 1.3 million barrels last year."
Zima's competition has a long way to go before it gets anywhere close to that. Miller is testing its version of a clearmalt called Qube in Providence and Sacramento, but it has yet to launch the brand nationally. And although Stroh's has introduced Clash, a malt that is targeted toward men and women between the ages of 21 and 25, the brand is still in the test-market phase.
If Zima's numbers are respectable, why does everyone rip into the drink?
"Making fun of Zima comes from a number of places," says Scott Rabschnuck of Foote, Cone & Belding, the San Francisco advertising agency that handles Zima's account. "Honestly, alcohol beverages are still a male-dominated world. It's how guys prove themselves and show how much chest hair they have. Men like traditionally more masculine, powerful beverages -- anything from beers to bourbons. Wine coolers and light beers are for the less serious drinker, or females. Well, Zima falls more into that camp. Zima is clear, it's got a citrusy taste. The packaging is upscale. It's very neatly designed. It's pretty. When you add all that up, it's definitely not seen as a hard-core, traditionally masculine drink, so it's invited to be seen as wussy: 'For all you guys who can't drink and for all you women who used to drink wine coolers, here's the drink for you.' And once something like that happens, it spirals."
In some ways, assistant brand manager Demlow says, Coors asked for trouble by promoting the drink so heavily at the start. "All the hype that bordered around Zima when it was first introduced and the instant celebrity status Zima took on totally fed into people not wanting to accept it," she theorizes. "In America, when something becomes a hot topic of conversation and also is so visible yet shrouded in mystery like Zima was, people tend to say that they don't want to be a part of it. Here's where that self-directed individualism comes into play: 'You know what you want and what you like to drink, so none of this is an issue for you.'

Graham Hancock (born 2 August 1950 in Edinburgh, Scotland) is a British writer and journalist. Hancock specialises in unconventional theories[1] involving ancient civilizations, stone monuments or megaliths, altered states of consciousness, ancient myths and astronomical/astrological data from the past. One of the main themes running through many of his books is the possible global connection with a "mother culture" from which he believes all ancient historical civilizations sprang.[2]
Contents |
Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, Hancock's formative years were spent in India, where his father worked as a surgeon. Having returned to the UK, he graduated from Durham University in 1973, receiving a First Class Honours degree in Sociology. As a journalist, Hancock worked for many British papers, such as The Times, The Sunday Times, The Independent, and The Guardian. He was co-editor of New Internationalist magazine from 1976–1979, and the East Africa correspondent of The Economist from 1981-1983.
Hancock sees himself as a journalist who asks questions based upon observation and as someone who provides a counterbalance to what he perceives as the "unquestioned" acceptance and support given to orthodox views by the education system, the media, and by society at large.[3] Prior to 1990 his works dealt mainly with problems of economic and social development. Since 1990 his works have focused mainly on the possible connections between seemingly unrelated phenomena.
His books include Lords of Poverty, The Sign and the Seal, Fingerprints of the Gods, Keeper of Genesis (released in the US as Message of the Sphinx), The Mars Mystery, Heaven's Mirror (with wife Santha Faiia), Underworld: The Mysterious Origins of Civilization, and Talisman: Sacred Cities, Secret Faith (with co-author Robert Bauval). In 1996 he appeared in The Mysterious Origins of Man.[4] He also wrote and presented the documentaries Underworld: Flooded Kingdoms of the Ice Age (2002) and Quest for the Lost Civilisation (1998)[5] shown on Channel 4. In Hancock's book Talisman: Sacred Cities, Secret Faith,[6] co-authored with Robert Bauval, the two put forward "a version of the old Jewish-Masonic plot so beloved by ultra-right-wing conspiracy theorists."[7] They suggest a connection between the pillars of Solomon's Temple and the Twin Towers, and between the Star of David and The Pentagon.[8]
Hancock's most recent non-fiction book, Supernatural: Meetings With the Ancient Teachers of Mankind, was published in the UK in October 2005 and in the US in 2006. In it, Hancock examines paleolithic cave art in the light of David Lewis-Williams' neuropsychological model, exploring its relation to the development of the fully modern human mind.
His first novel, Entangled: The Eater of Souls, the first in a fantasy series, was published in the UK in April 2010 and in the US in October 2010. The novel makes use of Hancock's prior research interests and as he has noted, "What was there to lose, I asked myself, when my critics already described my factual books as fiction?"
Although his books have sold more than five million copies worldwide and have been translated into twenty-seven languages, his methods and conclusions have found little support among academics, his work being labelled "pseudoarchaeology".[1][9][10]
One of the many recurring themes in several of Hancock's works has been an exposition on the "Orion Correlation Theory" (or OCT),[11][12] first put forward by Belgian writer Robert Bauval and then further expounded in collaborative works with Hancock, as well as in their separate publications.
BBC 2's Horizon TV series broadcast a programme, Atlantis Reborn, on 4 November 1999 that challenged the ideas presented by Hancock. It detailed one of Hancock's claims that the arrangement of an ancient temple complex was designed to mirror astronomical features and attempted to demonstrate that the same thing could be done with perhaps equal justification using famous landmarks in New York. It also alleged that Hancock had selectively moved or ignored the locations of some of the temples to fit his own theories (see below).[13]
Hancock claimed he was misrepresented by the programme, and he and Robert Bauval made complaints to the Broadcasting Standards Commission against the way Horizon had portrayed them and their work. Eight points were raised by Hancock, two by Bauval (one of which duplicated a complaint of Hancock's).[14] This included the complaint that:
The programme had created the impression that he [Hancock] was an intellectual fraudster who had put forward half baked theories and ideas in bad faith, and that he was incompetent to defend his own arguments. Adjudication: [The Commission] finds no unfairness to Mr Hancock in these matters.[15]
The BSC dismissed all but one of the complaints. Overall, the BSC concluded that "the programme makers acted in good faith in their examination of the theories of Mr Hancock and Mr Bauval".[16] The complaint which was upheld was that
The programme unfairly omitted one of their arguments in rebuttal of a speaker who criticised the theory of a significant correlation between the Giza pyramids and the belt stars of the constellation Orion (the "correlation theory")
which the Commission did find to be unfair. That speaker was the astronomer Edwin Krupp. Krupp accused Bauval of fudging the maps of Orion and the Pyramids by placing them upside down in order to make the theory work.[17] In interviews filmed in the later and modified Horizon documentary Atlantis Reborn Again shown on 14 December 2000, Hancock and Bauval provided detailed rebuttals to Krupp and argued that the ancient Egyptians had made the Pyramids correlate in the most obvious and intuitive manner with the three stars of Orion's Belt, that Orion could only be seen at the highest point in the sky by the Egyptians looking in a southward direction and a work of symbolic and religious art. A counter argument was provided on Atlantis Reborn Again to Bauval and Hancock's responses to Krupp's statements.
In 2009, Roland Emmerich released his blockbuster disaster movie 2012 citing Fingerprints of the Gods in the credits as an inspiration for the film,[18] stating: "I always wanted to do a biblical flood movie, but I never felt I had the hook. I first read about the Earth's Crust Displacement Theory in Graham Hancock's Fingerprints of the Gods." [19] Also in 2009, author Geoff Stray released his best-selling book "Beyond 2012: Catastrophe or Awakening?" in which he cites Graham Hancock as one of his inspirations and as a guidepost to point others to do their own investigation into the wonder of ancient societies.[20]

Jason Somerville, Poker Biography
by Jennifer Newell
Jason Somerville hails from Long Island, New York, and discovered poker in high school with friends. By the age of 17, he was playing a number of freerolls online to improve his game, and a few dollars eventually took him into the lowest limit cash games available. It was only the start to a career that would impress more with each year.
Somerville, known to some as JCarver and others online as Taknapotin, first saw poker on television as his dad watched the World Poker Tour in 2004, and his first game was a $20 SNG with friends. Reading about poker on the Internet, winning home games, and moving on to freerolls online turned into a real money endeavor soon after. He earned $3K in his first three months online with real money, and he turned that into $20K by the summer of 2005. One year later, he had approximately $200K in winnings.
He started playing live tournaments before he was 21 at places like Verona, New York, and in Canada, where it was legal for him to compete. His first final table came in 2007 at the Heartland Poker Tour Championship Event in Verona, where he finished in second place for $30,702 at the televised event. By 2008, he was 21 and ready to tackle more live events in addition to online MTTs.
Somerville cashed in three events at his first World Series of Poker in 2008. The following year, though, he cashed in two European Poker tour events, a World Poker Tour tournament, and three WSOP tournaments, two of which were final tables: second place in a $1,500 NLHE Shootout for $194,004 and fifth place in a $3K NLHE Triple Chance event for $103,591.
He made another run at a WSOP bracelet in 2010, cashing in four events, another two which were final tables - fourth place in both the $10K NLHE Heads-Up Championship and the $25K NLHE Six-Handed for a total of prize money exceeding $600K. Meanwhile, he continued to rack up significant online final tables, such as the Full Tilt Sunday, won a SCOOP tournament on PokerStars, and won the Ultimate Bet Sunday tournament more than once.
All of his success led to Somerville's addition to the PokerVT training team as an instructor in the advanced poker tournament arena. And in 2011, he finally won his first WSOP bracelet, taking the title and $493,091 in a $1K NLHE event in Las Vegas. Most recently, he finished in sixth place at the 2012 WPT L.A. Poker Classic, his final table presence worth $202,910.
Along the way, Somerville has been inspired by friends in the industry like Vivek Rajkumar, Kevin Saul, Amit Makhija, and Mike Watson. When online poker was no longer an option in the United States in 2011, he took his live game even more seriously and continues to pursue poker as a career, consistently trying to better his game and become a stronger player.
In addition, Somerville gained much notoriety in early 2012 for writing a blog post announcing that he was gay. As the first male player to publicly acknowledge homosexuality in the game of tournament poker, Somerville found wide support in the poker community as well as notoriety from media outlets like "The Advocate."

text:
He's a voracious eater whose weight pinballs between 200 and 280 pounds. Around his neck hangs a gold chain with a pendant that's been passed down from Max's grandfather to the Mermelstein men; it's welded with Yiddish family initials. Max has made his own alteration: He's plastered on a diamond-studded version of the cartoon Tasmanian Devil.
Fluent in barrio español, Max married Colombian Lara Hernandez, his third wife. He adopted her two children, 13-year-old Luis and 7-year-old Isabella, and soon they will have a baby girl named Ana.
But the family man has already shown genius for illicit importation. Using private planes and freelance pilots, he has arranged the smuggling of dozens of Lara's friends and relatives into Miami. Among the refugees: the jittery shooter standing on his front steps and demanding that Max act as his designated driver.
Max climbs behind the wheel of Rafa's rented van to find another glaring Colombian, Antonio "Chino" Arles Vargas, sitting in the back seat. Soon Max realizes there's trouble. Rafa apparently shot a man in the face at a Christmas party for no reason, and Chino does not approve. Rafa, in turn, suspects that Chino has been pilfering kilos from him.
While Chino is midsentence, Rafa suddenly spins in his seat with a nickel-plated .38 in his right hand. "I don't remember hearing the shots," Max would recall in a deposition. "I only remember seeing the flashes. And my foot froze on the accelerator, and I just kept driving. And at this point, Cardona was starting to direct me where to go."
He might as well have been speaking metaphorically. From that moment forward, Max was Rafa's personal zombie. They would dump the bullet-torn body in a suburban field in South Miami. The next morning, with the help of Lara's straight-as-an-arrow brother Arturo, Max and Rafa would scrub the van of blood and bits of brain.
Max would say later he had only one thought in his head: I'm next.
He came to believe Rafa had wanted him to witness the murder: The Medellín Cartel — the Colombian cocaine conglomerate helmed by drug superlords including Escobar, Lehder, and the Ochoa crime family — needed a smart American who knew how to smuggle. Max had the perfect curriculum vitae. For two years after the killing, Max sold loose kilos around Miami and New York. Then Rafa put him to work full-time as the Cartel's American point man.
Max found his calling in cocaine smuggling. Using Cessnas loaded with plastic-wrapped coke footballs, he pioneered the water drop. He mastered the eavesdropping of law enforcement radio frequencies and evasive flying routes: His pilots stayed below radar and headed to the middle of the state before swooping down to South Florida. Max placed innocuous lookouts, armed with high-powered binoculars, in penthouses above harbors where coke-loaded boats came in, to warn of Coast Guard patrols. The procedures were all new.
Max was the Henry Ford of cocaine, creating a world mirrored in Miami Vice. He briefly adopted a Colombian alter ego: According to a Florida driver's license, he was Maximiliano de Leon.
Meanwhile, Miami became the type of city where bayonet-wielding sicarios stabbed enemies at the airport, where men with machine guns performed daylight massacres at Dadeland Mall, where a shrink-wrapped kilo, hurled from a smuggler's plane evading fighter jets, could crash through the ceiling of a Baptist church during Sunday service. Twenty killings a month — about four times as many as today — gave the city the highest murder rate in the world. And it could all be traced back to Max.
But he wasn't pulling the trigger. "I didn't think I was hurting anybody," he said later. "In my mind, I was making an honest living."
Roughly six years and 56 tons of cocaine later, it ended. On June 5, 1985, he was arrested as he drove his blue Jaguar near his house in Golden Beach. Cops seized a permitted Walther TPH .22 from his glove compartment and $275,000 from under his bed. They sent him off to his indictment in Los Angeles, where he had a date with Dick Gregorie in a cramped room with no windows.
Rafa Cardona Salazar was soon gunned down by a hit squad in Colombia. It was his punishment for vouching for Max.
After his meeting with Dick Gregorie, Tabor picks up his wife at Bayside Marketplace and they head back to Vero Beach. They are on I-95 in his black Jeep when his cell phone rings. "No ID," Tabor reads in a hallowed tone, exchanging a glance with Andrea.
The voice on the other end is low and husky, the product of a three-pack-a-day lifetime habit. "Brett. Max Mermelstein."
Andrea grabs the steering wheel to prevent the Jeep from swerving into the median.
Stephanie Mason knew the wizened 65-year-old man as Wes Barclay, a great friend who had rescued her from rock bottom 13 years earlier.
In 1996, the 25-year-old Stephanie was habitually beaten by her husband. Word spread, and her boss, the big, intimidating chief engineer at Westgate Vacation Villas in Kissimmee, called her into his office and began peppering her with personal questions.

Aaron Mims, a 10-year-old from Evans, asked for dog food for his birthday instead of presents. (WRDW-TV / Jan. 10, 2012)
News 12 at 6 o'clock / Tuesday, Jan. 10, 2012
EVANS, Ga. -- Instead of getting gifts for his birthday, a 10-year-old from Evans asked for dog food to donate to the Columbia County Animal Shelter.
Aaron Mims rescued his dog, Arrow, back in May from the shelter and says he really wanted to take all the animals home.
When he learned most of the dogs are fed with donations, he decided he would help the shelter by donating some food for the dogs.
Last month, at his birthday party, Aaron helped to collect about 10 bags of dog food.
"I decided to do it for my birthday because I adopted a dog and I thought, since I couldn't adopt all the rest, I should just give them dog food," Aaron said.
Aaron's mother, Tanya Mims, said it was a very sweet idea.
"It's very nice for him to learn how to share and care about other things other than himself," she said.
Aaron says it made him feel "very good" to help out the dogs. Aaron's mother says they plan on collecting the dog food again for his 11th birthday and making it an annual tradition to give back.

A ton of preparation and planning went into the making of 50 Cent's latest video, "My Life." The video features the super trio of 50 Cent, Eminem and Adam Levine. If you haven't seen it dominating the airwaves yet, watch it here:
50 Cent busted out a bigger budget for the "My Life" video. 50 wanted to use unique visuals in order to pass along the song's message. He said, "The site we actually used, the architecture involved with the actual video itself, it feels like it's almost a set. Like it was something that someone drew in a way."
The abandoned station where "My Life" was filmed. Image via.
The video was directed by Rich Lee and shot in Eminem's
hometown of Detroit over the course of three days. The indoor scenes featuring
50 Cent were filmed in Michigan Central Station, an abandoned train
station. One day of filming was also
done in California.
The car 50 Cent
drives in the video is a Chrysler John Varvatos edition. At the time of
filming, the car was one of a kind. It retails for around $40,000.
Andre Dirrell, an Olympic boxer and Michigan native who's signed to SMS promotions, has a cameo in the video.
Get the "My Life" single on iTunes now for your first look at "Street King Immortal," 50's full-length release slated to release in February.

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is widely expressed in the brain and its biological effects are mediated through a variety of receptors. We examined, using immunohistochemistry, expression of the Y2 receptor (R) protein in the adult mouse brain and its association with NPY and the Y1R, as well as a range of additional neurotransmitters and signaling-related molecules, which previously have not been defined. Our main focus was on the hippocampal formation (HiFo), amygdaloid complex, and hypothalamus, considering the known functions of NPY and the wide expression of NPY, Y1R, and Y2R in these regions. Y2R-like immunoreactivity (-LI) was distributed in nerve fibers/terminal endings throughout the brain axis, without apparent colocalization with NPY or the Y1R. Occasional coexistence between NPY- and Y1R-LI was found in the HiFo. Following colchicine treatment, Y2R-LI accumulated in cell bodies that coexpressed γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in a population of cells in the amygdaloid complex and lateral septal nucleus, but not in the HiFo. Instead, Y2R-positive nerve terminals appeared to surround GABA-immunoreactive (ir) cells in the HiFo and other neuronal populations, e.g., NPY-ir cells in HiFo and tyrosine hydroxylase-ir cells in the hypothalamus. In the HiFo, Y2R-ir mossy fibers coexpressed GABA, glutamic acid decarboxylase 67 and calbindin, and Y2R-LI was found in the same fibers that contained the presynaptic metabotropic glutamate receptor 2, but not together with any of the three vesicular glutamate transporters. Our findings provide further support that Y2R is mostly presynaptic, and that Y2Rs thus have a modulatory role in mediating presynaptic neurotransmitter release.
