    Why a "new" American Dream?

    For past generations of Americans, the American dream stood for opportunity—a promise of attainable comfort and security. More recently, however, the traditional dream has been displaced by a much crasser version. Relentless marketing and an exclusive, myopic focus on growth have created a “more is better” dream that promotes, not comfort and security, but rather the unbridled production and consumption of stuff.

    By shifting the prize from well-being to stuff, the “more is better” version actually harms the very things we cherish. It is unsustainable personally, as it draws American families into a work and spend treadmill that clutters our lives and depletes our savings. It is also unsustainable for the planet and its people, as it requires an endless churning out of cheap goods, with little regard for who made them and how, the strain on precious natural resources, or where it all goes in the end.

    The Center for a New American Dream is dedicated to helping support and nurture an American dream that upholds the spirit of the traditional dream—but with a new emphasis on sustainability and a celebration of non-material values. We envision a society that values not just “more” but more of what matters

  • Flavorpill

    Flavorpill loves culture. We embrace the high-brow, the underground, the low-brow, and the mainstream, and everything in between – as long as it's good.

    A city guide for those who like to go out, Flavorpill publishes a daily update of worthwhile cultural event listings, from art exhibits and readings to concerts, plays, and festivals. Every day our teams of editors comb through stacks of emails, sites, papers, and magazines looking for the must-see happenings in their city -- and then get off their computers and go out. We only write about events we personally vouch for and have seen, or plan to go to, ourselves.

    Many of our writers and readers are in their 20s, the founders, Sascha Lewis and Mark Mangan, are in their 30s, and some of our biggest fans are older still. Flavorpill is for all of us. It exists to help us to get to know our cities better, to find and experience brilliant artists, musicians, groups, and spaces we weren't aware of – while helping us avoid the derivative, always seeking out the things that inspire us.

    We started in New York in 2000 with a love of our city's culture, a home office (read: kitchen), and a few hundred subscribers. We are now in five additional cities, including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Miami, and London. All our listings are by local writers, who only write about events because they've got the "flavor", never for money from the organizers or as a favor.

    We invite you to give the site a good pass, subscribe to our weekly email(s), read the listings, and check out the pictures – we think you'll find something worthy, maybe even discover something new.

    Get started by looking at today's events.

We connect American viewers with people at the heart of breaking events, organizations in the forefront of social change and the cultures of an increasingly global community.

    Link TV is committed to:

    Educating American viewers by offering in-depth programs on issues of regional and world importance. We expose our audience to people they would never meet, to cultures they might never understand and to issues they have yet to consider.

    Providing a global perspective on world issues and culture offering alternate viewpoints that are not U.S.-centric. Through the presentation of other nations' newscasts we offer diverse perspectives on world events. Through personal stories told in Link TV documentaries we humanize the 'other' and counter the tendency to make enemies out of the unknown.

    Giving voice to people without a voice, from communities under-represented in conventional media and unknown to most Americans. Our programs connect viewers not only to the 'movers and shakers' but also to the 'moved and shaken'-- people affected by the news. We cover U.S. domestic issues, showing their connection to global affairs.

    Encouraging action on the part of the viewer. Our programs counter the cynicism and resignation that can result from watching conventional television news. Program trailers and the website gives viewers access to tools and connections to take action on social issues.

    Promoting cross-cultural dialogue through innovative television formats. Live call-in programs provoke discussion on global issues by participants that may be separated by ideological differences and thousands of miles.

  • Quarterlife

    Quarterlife is the Internet series from Marshall Herskovitz and Edward Zwick, the creative team behind “My So-Called Life,” “Thirtysomething,” “Legends of the Fall,” and “Blood Diamond.”

    NBC aired one episode of quarterlife as an hour-long drama series on Tuesday, February 26, which marked the first time a major TV network broadcast an Internet series. After disappointing ratings, NBC decided to move the show to its BRAVO network. BRAVO will air a marathon of quarterlife on Sunday 9th, March starting at 8am/7am central

    Quarterlife also marks the first time that an independent project of this kind has been owned and controlled by its creators – as well as the first occasion that an Internet series has been created alongside a social network, quarterlife.com.

    Quarterlife initially launched on MyspaceTV.com and on quarterlife.com in November 2007. The Internet series includes 36 eight minute webisodes, with two new episodes airing each week. The show is also available on other sites such as YouTube, Facebook, and Imeem, as well as NBC.com.

    Known for their incisive portrayals of relationships and experience during life’s key passages, quarterlife takes on the crucial years between 20 and 30, when so many of life’s important decisions are made. quarterlife tells the ongoing stories of six creative people in their twenties. As with Herskovitz and Zwick’s earlier series, at the center of quarterlife is a commitment to realism, and the recognition of universal human themes through the truthful depiction of the way young people speak, work, think, love, argue, and just have fun.

    The Cast

    The cast stars Bitsie Tulloch as Dylan (“Lonelygirl15,” “LOST,” “West Wing”), Maite Schwartz as Lisa (“Medium,” “Dexter,” “House of Grimm”), Scott Michael Foster as Jed (“Greek,” “The Horrible Flowers”), David Walton as Danny (“Heist,” “Cracking Up”), Michelle Lombardo as Debra (“Click,” “Entourage,” “October Road”), Kevin Christy as Andy (“Love Don’t Cost a Thing”), and Barret Swatek as Brittany (“Seventh Heaven,” “40-Year-Old Virgin”).

    Starting with Dylan (Tulloch), a young woman whose overly truthful video blog (on quarterlife.com of course) spills the closest secrets of her friends, the show’s characters – filmmakers Danny (Walton) and Jed (Foster), actress-bartender Lisa (Schwartz), geek-extraordinaire Andy (Christy), and still-tied-to-her-parents Debra (Lombardo) – chart the sometimes excruciating, sometimes comic, often emotional experiences that comprise coming of age in the 21st Century.

    Directors/Writers

    Quarterlife series co-creator Marshall Herskovitz is directing various episodes, as is Eric Stoltz, John Sacret Young, and Catherine Jelski. In addition to Herskovitz, Devon Gummersall and Lucy Teitler are also writing for the series.

    Quarterlife.com is home to an accompanying social network devoted to facilitating that same coming of age as the series. This generation of twentysomethings defines itself more than any in history by its creativity, and within its first few weeks quarterlife.com established itself as a community of creators, thinkers, and doers. In keeping with the authentic nature of the series, the members of the quarterlife community – by their willingness to share their feelings, creative passions, and deepest concerns – are redefining what a social network can be.
