Physical child abuse or non-accidental child trauma refers to fractures and other signs of injury that occur when a child is hurt in anger.
The physical signs of child abuse used to be called battered child syndrome. This syndrome referred to many fractures that occurred at different times in children too young to have received them from an accident. The definition of child abuse has since been expanded.
See also:
Battered child syndrome; Physical abuse - children
Physical abuse tends to occur at moments of great stress. Many people who commit physical abuse were abused themselves as children. As a result, they often do not realize that abuse is not appropriate discipline.
Often people who commit physical abuse also have poor impulse control. This prevents them from thinking about what happens as a result of their actions.
The rate of child abuse is fairly high. The most common form is neglect.
The major risk factors for child abuse include:
However, it is important to note that cases of child abuse are found in every racial or ethnic background and social class. It is impossible to tell abusers from non-abusers by looking at their appearance or background.
An adult may bring an injured child to an emergency room with a strange explanation of the cause of the injury. The child's injury may not be recent.
Symptoms include:
Typical injuries in abused children include:
The following tests can reveal physical injuries:
The following medical conditions have symptoms similar to those of physical abuse:
If you think a child is in immediate danger because of abuse or neglect, you should call 911.
If you suspect a child is being abused, report it immediately. Most states have a child abuse hotline. You may also use the Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-4-A-CHILD).
Physical injuries are treated as appropriate.
The parents will need counseling or an intervention of some type. In some cases, the child may be temporarily or permanently removed from the home to prevent further danger. Life-threatening abuse, or abuse resulting in permanent damage to the infant or child may result in legal action.
Counseling, including play therapy, is also necessary for abused children over age 2. The child will need help dealing with the fear and pain of abuse caused by adults, who should be trusted figures. Failing to get this help can lead to significant psychological problems, such as post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The appropriate government agency usually makes decisions about placing the child with an outside caregiver or returning the child to the home. This is typically done through the court system. The structure of these agencies varies from state to state.
Support groups are available for survivors of abuse and for abusive parents who want to get help. See the resource page for contact information.
The child's physical recovery depends on the severity of the injuries. Psychological recovery depends on the results of therapy, and whether the child can develop trusting relationships with adult caregivers.
The authorities will determine whether the abuser gets psychiatric help, such as parenting training and impulse/anger management training.
Child protection agencies generally make every effort to reunite families when possible.
Because adults are so much stronger and bigger than children, an abused child can be severely injured or killed by accident. Physical abuse of a child can lead to severe brain damage, disfigurement, blindness, crippling, and death. Abused individuals may carry emotional scars for a lifetime.
Children can be permanently removed from the parents' custody if the parents are abusive enough. However, this experience can also cause the child psychological problems. The child may feel rejected, or the placement may not lead to a strong, long-term attachment to the new caregivers.
All states require that you report any known or suspected child abuse. Call your health care provider, Child Protective Services, or local police if you suspect or know that someone is being abused.
Recognize the warning signs of abuse. The caregiver may:
Counseling or parenting classes may prevent abuse when any of these factors are present. Watchful guidance and support from the extended family, friends, clergy, or other supportive persons may prevent abuse or allow early intervention in cases of abuse.

I was wandering around looking for a snack today when I decided to duck into The Vitamin Shoppe, where I have been known to buy things like Glenny's Organic 100 Calorie Brownies. There, I spotted something I've heard about and seen a lot, yet never had a chance to try: Ostrim Meat Sticks. This "96% fat-free high protein snack made from beef & ostrich" looked like it was right up my beef jerky-loving alley. I decided I would start with the Natural version, as opposed to Teriyaki or Pepper, and plunked down my $1.89.
This snack stick is pretty big - one (single-serving) piece weighs in at 42 grams and is a hearty size. With that large size, one would expect some proportionally large amount of calories, but each stick provides just 80 calories and 14 grams of protein. It's also low in fat (2% & 3% of the daily value for total and saturated fat), 17% of the DV for sodium (a little high), only 2 grams of carbohydrates and 10% of the RDA for iron. A stick also has 590 mg of potassium, which is 17% of DV. While most foods have potassium (it's in cells, and pretty much everything we eat is made up of cells), 17% strikes me as an impressively high number.
Although this is called Ostrim, beef is the first ingredient. The others are ostrich, filtered water, nonfat dry milk, and 2% or less of citric acid, salt, potassium chloride, mustard flour, potassium lactate, black pepper, garlic powder, sodium erythorbate, sodium nitrite, and sucralose. That's a long ingredient list, but this is a preserved meat after all.
As for taste, I liked this. It was nicely salty and spicy, and the texture was chewy (and a bit slippery, like all meat sticks). It was a satisfying size, perfect for a mid-day snack and a cure for a salt craving. Ostrich is supposed to be leaner than beef, and I liked the combo of low-cal and high-protein - it's half as much calories as Oh Boy Oberto Fat Free Beef Jerky, for example, which has 80 calories per 28 gram stick. I'll probably buy this again for a quick protein fix and probably instead of some snack bars.

New Jersey Devils Focus on the Fans
The Devils have taken the idea of fan interaction to a whole new level.
If you haven't been following along on the official Facebook page and Twitter account, you missed your chance to vote for the newest member of the Devils Dancers.
After holding auditions for the upcoming season, the Devils took their top three contenders and let the fans vote on who should get the last spot on the dance team. Gabrielle, Sarah and Sarah-Ashley put their fate in the hands of the Devils Army and the winner was revealed at Texas-Arizona in Hoboken this past Tuesday.
This is just another way the Devils have gotten the fans directly involved with the organization. The most obvious fan-focused program is right here, the Devils Generals and Mission Control. This program is the first of its kind in the sports industry and focuses only on interacting with the fans not only through social media, but through viewing parties and making the Digital Zone the cool place to be during intermissions.
With these events along with featuring Fans of the Week, posting photo submissions on their social media pages (have you seen the official Pinterest page recently?), and letting the fans design last season's playoff towels, you can't deny the Devils are really focusing on building the fan community.
As for who the fans chose as our newest Devils Dancer – Gabrielle is a Jersey girl from East Hanover and won her spot with more than 14,000 fan votes. Congrats to Gabby, welcome to the Devils Army!

I have used the GP4000 700X25c exclusively the past several years. I love that tire but I weigh around 195 pounds and these tires do not last for me on the rear wheel. I have yet to get 2K miles one one. They all succumb to cuts, the last two in less than 500 miles. So I looked for something more robust for my rear wheel. I only have a couple hundred miles on the Grand Prix GT so can't comment on the durability (thus the 4 stars). I am very pleased with the way this tire mounts on the rim, rolls, and the comfort. So far, so good.

This is my kind of town, Chicago is…and every day, people make the decision it's their kind of town, too. They pack their bags, leaving jobs and hometowns behind.
Back in the days of a better economy, it wasn't unheard of to leave a job, move, and figure life out when you got there. Ideally, finding a new job before you give up your current one is the best plan, but sometimes that isn't always possible. If you're new to Chicago, how can you connect and network when you don't know anyone?
Allison Schwimer, of Mansur Realty Corporation, a privately held real estate investment firm, knows what it's like to relocate and find a job quickly. By planning ahead and being prepared, she landed a job on her fourth day in Chicago. Ms. Schwimer grew up in a small town in Georgia and set her sights on the Midwest. She eased the transition by creating an agenda and timeline."Having a plan was so much less stressful," Ms. Schwimer says. She advises setting an overall strategy as well as a budget; learn as much as you can about the city and secure housing or know the neighborhood you want to live in before you move.
Job seekers also need to research the market so they know where the jobs are and who's hiring. This includes contacting companies before you move; Google staffing and search firms to vet the best from the rest before setting up meetings. "Don't wing it or think you can do the footwork when you get there," Ms. Schwiner advises. "Taking care of the basics allows you the freedom to focus on your job search and making connections." Her most important piece of advice is old fashioned networking: make a list of family and friends, ask for introductions and referrals, and follow up with face-to-face meetings.
Every introduction is an opportunity to gain knowledge and build relationships. Ms. Schwiner is happy in Chicago, but she also dreams of New York and writing for Saturday Night Live. And she's already begun to think about the steps to get her there.
The key to connecting quickly is getting to know people – really getting to know people – and being a good listener. Don't expect to gain something from one handshake or collecting a bunch of business cards and not remembering anything about the person.
Kim Davis is a computer programmer by day and a networking expert by night…and weekends, too. When Ms. Davis first moved to Chicago, she found it hard to break into career-boosting social circles and felt frustrated by the process. But instead of feeling sorry for herself, she took matters into her own hands and started a networking group, called P.O.S.H. Events Chicago (Planning & Organizing Sensational Happenings).
What started as a one-night event to help local business owners in her Lakeview neighborhood cross-promote their boutiques turned out to be a true calling. "POSH is now a group of approximately 60 members who get together bi-monthly to exchange ideas, have fun and help people connect," Ms. Davis boasts. "By organizing events and activities, it's easier to get to know people when the topic of conversation isn't geared just towards business."
Ms. Davis also sits on two boards, with the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum and the Steppenwolf Theatre. "Participating on a board is an untapped resource for someone new to a city," says Ms. Davis. "It's an immediate connection, because everyone has something in common."
Relocating and beginning a new chapter in your life can be stressful. Staying connected, even after you land your dream job, will continue to be an important element to a successful career. Whether it's personal or professional, Main Street or State Street, life is about building, developing, and sustaining relationships. So when it's time to make a change, don't reinvent the wheel, lose the blues and have the time of your life.
Kim Davis' tips for networking in a new town:
1. Attend networking events that are of interest to you. It's easier to start a conversation.
2. Focus on meeting people, not collecting business cards.
3. Make it a point to meet and really get to know one person per event.
4. Follow up within a day; don't waste valuable connections.
5. Know what your goals are and how to articulate those goals quickly.
6. Join a group or club that offers an opportunity to highlight your expertise.
7. Don't be afraid to walk up to a group of people. Share that you're new to the city; it's a great ice-breaker.
8. Use online resources like LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter, but don't rely solely on these avenues alone for networking.

A Bradley County deputy reportedly resigned recently while an inquiry by BCSO officials continues.
Bob Gault of the Bradley County Sheriff's Office said deputy Casey Kerr recently had reported he struck a deer with his patrol car.
The incident occurred "approximately three weeks ago," according to Gault.
He was not clear whether Kerr was on-duty or off-duty when the reported collision with the deer occurred.
"The inquiry is ongoing," Gault said
"Kerr resigned his position with the Bradley County Sheriff's Office while the inquiry was under way," Gault said.
No other information was available.

The problem is, they make SO much money on beer, it'll never happen — you get one at a game for the same price basically as a sixer at the store. It's like sodas at fast food restaurants — it costs them like 7 cents for a large Coke at the fast food joints.

So, we're down to the fact that someone carried 40 beers around, up and down stairs, to give you 2 of them, and they're complaining about $1.50-2.00.

67 Ford Galaxy 500 GT ????
Thought someone may know the answer to this question.
I was in California last week and I came across a 1967 Ford Galaxy 500 GT. It was a 2 door hard top with a 390 and a 4 speed transmission. It also had a air induction that had the tubes coming from where the lower head light should be then up to the air cleaner. The person selling the car said it was all original (even the air induction) except for the paint and wheels. I have looked all over the internet and could not find one that was a GT.
Have you ever seen a Ford Galaxy 500GT??????
Is it extremely rare or a fake ???

andre1969 Posts: 22,231of the Galaxie back then called the XL, or the 7-Litre, or something like that?
That kind of air induction was used in some Fairlanes around 1963-64, which were dragstrip cars and called Thunderbolts. And I think the treatment might have been applied to some 1961-64 era Galaxies. Never seen a later model set up that way, though. -
fintail Posts: 34,503The XL was the upper trim package...not always performance, but could be. Ford's "SS". The 7-litre was a 428, I think meant to be the luxury-sport model of such a big car.
A Fairlane Thunderbolt should be worth some very decent money these days. Maybe someone did up a Galaxie in the same style...but I would have thought they'd go past a 390. -
Mr_Shiftright CaliforniaPosts: 46,181I think it's a fake. The only GT was the Fairlane in 1967, which evolved into the Torino GT and the Cobra.
Also never saw that air cleaner system, which would be pretty dumb if you think about driving through puddles.
Oddly enough, there were a small number of rare Fairlanes with the formidable 427 engine but they weren't called GTs!!MODERATOR --Need help with anything? Click on my name!
captserviss Posts: 3I'm new, so bare with me. I need to know if anyone has info about '95 T-bird V8 auto which downshifts sometimes for no reason. My mechanic can't solve it. He's replaced Air Mass sensor, wiring harness and two solenoides in tranny. Anyone know where I can get a manual which shows the electric ops of this tranny? Clymers? Thanks...
Mr_Shiftright CaliforniaPosts: 46,181Hi and Welcome.
I think you're in the wrong topic here. This is the Classic Car Board and the topic is '67 Fords.
However, you might find this "read only" topic interesting, as it talks about your exact transmission.

mrwhipple311 Posts: 22Just to clarify, there WAS a Galaxie XL Gt, I do know that they were produced in 1968 and 1969. It was an upgraded suspension, stripes and the all important rim-blow steering wheel. In 69 the base engine was a 390 in the gt although I have only seen them with 429s. I really do not think that the GT existed in any other years.

69_galaxy_conv Posts: 1In 1969, when I ordered my XL Convertible, XL was only a trip level. It was a gimic. I was so stupid!! Gee...if you order the XL trim level...you now have a 'sports car' Ford.
I know you could order bucket seats in 1969. I ordered a bench. I also ordered the trailer towing package. I still have this car. It has a 390 cu in 2 barrel carb.. It is still stock.
I think the car the guy saw is CA was a 'hot rodded' Galaxy. It was not a production car. -

It's probably no more of a gimmick than the SS package for the Impala. All the SS did was give you special badges and trim. All the go-fast stuff, like the big engines, etc, was still optional, as was better suspension, wheels, tires, etc. I'm not sure, but I think even the bucket seats, console, and floor shift might have been separate options. And Plymouth did a similar thing with its "Sport Fury" -
euphonium Great Northwest, West of the Cascades.Posts: 3,350You are right Fintail. The base engine for the big Fords in 67-69 was the 240 c.i. Six cylinder = 147 h.p. '69.
Two other options were ('69) 390 c.i. & 429 c.i. V8's each with 2 bbl carbs.
Additional options included:302 c.i., 2 bbl, 220 h.p.
428 c.i., 4 bbl, 360 h.p.
429 c.i., 4 bbl, 360 h.p.
Our 67 Country Sedan came with a 390 2 bbl & when the warranty expired I converted it to a 4 bbl. A lot more poop to pass trucks on the hill, but when just cruising, the mileage was better than the former 2 bbl by 3.5 mpg! It was a great family fun wagon, 2 way tailgate was very handy.
In those days the only "GT" I recall was on the Fairlane 500 XL. -
fintail Posts: 34,503I can't imagine having one of those big boats with a 6, especially if it had faux sport trim, which just added more weight.
Those old wagons are pretty cool cars, their image has turned full circle. In the early 90s my dad had a 1960 Country Sedan, it had a 352, I can't remember if 2bbl or 4bbl. But, it actually got respectable mileage on the highway, and it ran very well. He rescued that car from languishing beside a house, sold it on a whim and regretted it from almost the day after. My first car was a 66 Galaxie with a 390-4bbl. I've never driven a car that burned so much gas. Luckily, it could also burn rubber, so all was not lost :shades: ...but as a car for a 16 year old, it probably wasn't the best choice, it ensured I was pretty broke. -
bhill2 Posts: 1,426I almost replied that the XL wasn't offered with a six, and before '68 it wasn't. However, starting in '68 it came standard with the six and a 3 on the tree. What a pathetic beast that would be.

andre1969 Posts: 22,231Those 2-speed automatics used to kill Chevy's performance figures, when CR would do their big car comparison tests. I remember they tested a 1968 Impala 4-door with a 307 and 2-speed, and got 0-60 in something like 14.5 seconds! In comparison, I think the Ford with the 289 or 302 or whatever, and the Mopar with the 318 were more like 11-12 seconds, and the Catalina with its 400 a relative barn-burner at around 9.5-10. I always wondered how the Chevy would've stacked up performance-wise if they'd offered a 3-speed with the 283 and 307?
My '67 Catalina used to hold first up to about 50-55 under hard acceleration, and would chirp the tires when shifting to second. I don't think it was supposed to do that though, because ever since my mechanic went through the car and did all that work to it, it won't do it anymore.
I can get my NYer to hold first up to around 50-55 as well under hard acceleration, and then if I totally get off the gas, it seems like it almost skips 2nd gear altogether. -
fintail Posts: 34,503I remember on my friend's Nova, the torque converter failed once, and right before this, it wouldn't shift out of 1st at all. As he had a few miles of a 55mph road to travel before getting into town, this made driving interesting. It was quite a car. The steering wheel fell off when the car was sitting in a parking lot (luckily), the headlights worked intermittently, and the horn would only work when the car was off.
He replaced this in 1997, with a 1990 Caravan, one of those odd sport models with the body cladding and wheels, etc. The tranny failed on this car 48 hours after he bought it, literally. The dealer fixed it.
I don't remember if my Galaxie had a C4 or a C6...but I guess both were solid enough units. I did little more than 0-30 sprints :shades:

From anecdotal evidence a similar situation exists in Australian schools. Limited access to ereading devices and infrastructure plus costs and ownership of ebooks contribute to slow growth.

A book is a heart that only beats in the chest of another," Rebecca Solnit wrote in her gorgeous contemplation on reading. A century earlier, Kafka asserted in a memorable letter to his childhood friend that "a book must be the axe for the frozen sea inside us." Indeed, the question of what books do for the human soul and spirit stretches from ancient meditations to contemporary theories about the four psychological functions of reading. But hardly anyone has articulated the enchantment of literature more succinctly yet beautifully than C.S. Lewis, a man deeply invested in the authenticity of the written word. Via Dennis T OConnor

Gift tags for wedding favors
Floral Ornament Wedding Favor Tags This is a wonderful company to work with! My only complaint about this product was the print came out much smaller than I had expected. Otherwise, wonderful!
Beautiful, customizable, great customer service
Floral Ornament Wedding Favor Tags I used these for my daughter's baptism celebration. The tags turned out exactly how I ordered them. Paper, color, font, all as I expected and done beautifully. I'm a perfectionist and I am Very satisfied. I would have wanted to have a larger print size for the name but in the computer it would not allow a larger text in the space but there was room on the tag. I'm sure if I had requested it they would have accommodated but I needed them ASAP so I did not do so. Also, I required more than the 25 I initially ordered and customer service answered quickly and were able to add more to my order. In fact when the tags arrived there were extra tags. That was great, I used them for other items.
Lovely presentation
Floral Ornament Rectangle Invitations Of course it's exciting to get your invitations but it was made even better by Magnet Street's thoughtful presentation. The charming blue box with helpful hints in addition to the invites were a pleasant surprise. And with the generous discount code, this was the best price for wedding paper I found for the quality it offered!

This is a "self delivery" pack which has been designed specifically for National Science and Engineering Week 2013. The science behind fingeprints is well known! What is not so well known is the link between fingerprints and footprints. Right Angle Events have launched a new education pack called 'Toes for Turf' comprising at least 4 hours of fun teaching material linked to Key Stage 1-4 Mathematics.
We have designed a fantastic scheme especially for National Science & Engineering Week called "Toes For Turf". The science behind fingerprints is well known. What is not so well known is the science behind footprints or "feet prints". This activity enables students to take, classify and "lift" both fingerprints and foot prints. As the research on footprints is meagre, this scheme will allow students to make some discoveries about the correlation or otherwise between fingerprints and feet prints.
We will be running a science club for children from the junior school for 8 weeks before science week. Children will be working on projects designed by local scientists and making posters to show what they've done. A competition will be held and prizes will be given for the best posters and projects. During science week we'll have a science day for the whole school. Local scientists will come to the school and we'll have science themed activities all day.

Theater Review: 'Art' as entertaining as everPhoto by Lindsay Raymondjack Photography
From left, Mark Alan Gordon, Adrian John O'Donnell and Roy Cutler star in Vermont Stage's production of "Art."BURLINGTON — "What is art?" That's the question ostensibly being asked in Yasmina Reza's 1990s hit comedy, but it's not exactly what the play is all about. It's more how a piece of art manages to unravel 15 years of friendships.
Vermont Stage Company opened a production of "Art" this week, and at Thursday's performance it proved to be witty, hilarious and even touching.
"Art" premiered in its original French version in Paris in 1994. Translated by Christopher Hampton (the version used by Vermont Stage and most other theaters), the play opened in London's West End, starring Albert Finney, Tom Courtenay and Ken Scott, and ran for eight years. Hitting Broadway in 1998, it won the Tony Award for best play, with Alan Alda, Victor Garber and Alfred Molina, and continued for 600 performances.
And, for a time, "Art" could be seen everywhere. Fortunately, Thursday's revisit proved more than warranted.
Serge has purchased a painting, a white-on-white canvas by a fashionable artist, for the astronomical sum of $200,000. And he's most proud of it, now considering himself something of a connoisseur. His esteemed friend Marc's reaction, however, is somewhat different. He calls it crap.
Marc not only disdains the work of art, and the taste of his longtime friend, he's genuinely angry about it — and the two argue, sometimes with wit, other times bitterly.
Into the fray comes the gentle Yvan, already beset with the problems of a pending wedding. Serge and Marc each try to win Yvan over to their side, sometimes to the point of browbeating. The result is an unraveling that eventually reveals the reason and importance of their friendship.
What makes "Art" entertaining is the acerbic wit, often like a French version of George Bernard Shaw. What makes it touching is the depth of the characters and the authenticity of the friendship dynamic. It's quite a romp.
The Vermont Stage production, deftly and imaginatively directed by Tara Lee Downs, benefited from a fine cast. Mark Alan Gordon delivered a particularly delicious comic performance as Marc, with delightfully dripping sarcasm, but also conveying the depth of the character's feeling for his friends.
Roy Cutler, save for a few timing missteps, was a natural as the naïve and pseudo-sophisticated Serge, a perfect straight man for Marc's barbs. Adrian John O'Donnell effectively managed the balance of pathetic and sympathetic as Yvan, usually the victim of the other two.
Vermont Stage's physical production was a stylish one, with a generic but elegant apartment setting by John Paul Devlin, effective lighting by Lauren Stetson and appropriate costumes by Suzanne Kneller. Martha Goode's musical choices for the sound design contributed notably to the play's stylish atmosphere.
Finally, it was the interplay of the three that made Vermont Stage's "Art" downright fun.

Women Of Faith
08.06.13 |
With world-class speakers and amazing singers, the Women of Faith conference is always an inspirational experience.
This years featured guests include Sheryl Brady, Ken Davis, Third Day, Max Lucado, Angie Smith, Holly Wagner, Sheila Walsh, and CeCe Winans. Visit the Women of Faith schedule and find the tour city closest to you. Here are a few ways you can participate:
If you're a women's leader or pastor, why not make Women of Faith your women's event for the year. You can take advantage of the best speakers in the best environment. The chances are very good that the women in your church will come back encouraged, inspired and ready to share what God taught them.
If you're a small group leader, take your whole group. You can share hotel rooms like a giant slumber party. It's a great way to share a powerful experience together and bond in a deeper way.
If you're a husband (and dad), why not send your wife and daughters. This is the best gift you can give them, one they will be talking about for months.

Women's football | North Americans on a mission as 'new Portuguese'
In the 1960s the North American Soccer League brought players from abroad to spread the sport's seedlings in a strange land. Forty years later, with enthusiasm for the women's game expanding worldwide, the flow of talent has reversed. North America has dispatched many of its best players to, among other places, Mexico, Greece and Portugal as these countries have sought Americans and Canadians of mixed ancestry to build national women's sides.
In contrast to places where soccer has been a male bastion, North America, especially the United States, has benefited from a unique historical evolution that makes soccer an acceptable—even encouraged—activity for females. Long-standing association between elite sport and higher education combined with advocacy for gender equality within such institutions have helped make American universities attractive talent pools for countries seeking footballers of the correct lineage.
The Selecção A, spring 08. (Photo courtesy Federação Portuguesa de Futebol | Francisco Paraiso) |
Ahead of the 1999 Women's World Cup in the United States, Mexico stocked more than half of its roster with American collegians of Mexican descent. Eight American college players and graduates with Greek ancestry supported 10 home-based players to build a side before Greece hosted the 2004 Olympic Games. Seeking players with Irish roots, the coach of Ireland's national women's team in early September attended a player combine for Women's Professional Soccer, which will become America's top division when it launches next spring.
While Mexico and Greece have subsequently reverted to native players, Portugal has stood by the controversial strategy it started in 2004, even expanding the practice to age-level squads through active scouting and recruiting in Canada and the United States. To Portuguese coaches and football authorities, these North American imports are "new Portuguese."
Portugal's federation four years ago launched a cooperative arrangement with the United Soccer Leagues' top women's division, the W-League—founded by Francisco Marcos, born and raised in Portugal—to find foreign-born players of Portuguese descent. The tie-in allows Mónica Jorge, coach of the senior women's team, to add numbers to a limited selection pool. "We're told that only 1,300 females are registered in total to play soccer in Portugal," says Canadian striker Alex Valerio, 18, called up in April to Portugal's squad for two UEFA U-19 qualifiers. "Some youth clubs in Ottawa have more than that."
The so-called diaspora players stir impassioned arguments. Becky Hammon, for example, faced charges of disloyalty and mercenary motives when she played basketball for Russia against the United States in the 2008 Olympics. Consider, too, the besmirched Brazilian footballer Emerson, who accepted Qatari citizenship in order to play for the West Asian team in World Cup qualifiers. Further, some argue that using foreign recruits restricts development of domestic soccer by taking spots from homegrown players.
Integration of players from disparate backgrounds can be challenging. The new recruits—most second- or third-generation—bring a different perspective, style of play and, sometimes, minimal conversation skills in the language in which their teammates are fluent. The cost to transport players, sometimes halfway around the world for camps and games, can squeeze a federation budget in which women's football stands already as a low priority.
But Jorge, corresponding by e-mail, counters that women's soccer in Portugal must make up for years of lost opportunities. "We have already 'lost' the path of magnificent players of Portuguese origin who play in other national teams as France, USA, Australia …," she writes.
Women's football in Portugal is nowadays starting from zero and therefore needs a greater development in terms of championships and of its general organisation. … Our national teams need to be more competitive and need a higher physical and athletic level. As the players of Portuguese origin come from more competitive championships, they bring those advantages to our team—athletic power, tactical maturity and competitive rhythm.
Jorge adds that there are 3,700 women futsal players in Portugal, but these are small numbers when facing European powers such as Germany, Norway or Sweden for continental or World Cup qualifying berths. By promoting the women's national team in Portuguese communities around the world, she can present playing for Portugal as a viable option.
For their part, American players do not see the decision as one of abandoning their country—most will stay in the United States for school and careers. With chances of playing for the U.S. national team remote, Portugal offers them the opportunity to play internationally and to connect with an ancestral home.
FIFA uses a player's heritage, determined by the origins of the player's parents and grandparents, to determine national-team eligibility. The players must acquire a passport for each nation for which they compete. FIFA also allows players under 23 who are eligible in multiple countries to play with multiple federations at youth level. They lock themselves in permanently once they have played with a federation's senior team.
Rather than mercenaries, North American players now competing for Portugal see themselves as missionaries, helping to spread their love of soccer to a country where women's football is in its infancy. Kim Brandão, Jersey Sky Blue veteran and former Rutgers player, says she has encountered no resentment from her European-based teammates. "The players in Portugal have welcomed me better than I could have expected even though I don't speak fluent Portuguese." Brandão, who has also played professionally in Sweden and Spain, nevertheless was brought up with Portuguese traditions and customs. She plays on the senior team along with a sister, Lissette (New Jersey Wildcats).
Despite being the only import on the U-19 team, Valerio did not feel like an outsider. Given that her father emigrated from Portugal at 16, Valerio says she was not "severely diluted in my heritage." She plays for Princeton and, in the summer, for the Ottawa Fury in the W-League. "Everyone was friendly," she says of her U-19 teammates. "They thought nothing of it. Portuguese people are very passionate about their soccer. They'll do what they can to win."
Jorge currently recruits players largely through word of mouth, with recommendations from coaches and players on both sides of the Atlantic, along with occasional assessment trips to North America. If coaches cannot see a player in person, the potential recruit pays her own way to Portugal; if selected during trials, the federation absorbs the cost for future trips.
"We try to adapt them to our play model in the training sessions," Jorge says of guiding the "new Portuguese" players. "Although they come from different football cultures, they are intelligent players who adapt easily and that adaptation to our playing style has been easy. We did not make training different for them."
To João Maria Xavier, capped 76 times for the national team as defensive midfielder, the newcomers have challenged the native Portuguese in practice with their strength and speed and brought a high understanding of tactics. The expatriates, in turn, have learned technical skills and a different approach to the game.
"In my opinion all the players should have the same opportunities to play for the national team," Xavier says. "This includes the players from other countries—with some conditions. They have to be better than the others playing in Portugal."
Portugal managed just two draws, against Scotland and Ukraine, in qualifying for the UEFA Women's European Championship in Finland beginning in Aug 09. The senior team finished at the bottom of Group 5.
A 0–0 result against Norway on Oct 1 gave the U-19 Portuguese side the final slot in the second round of qualifiers for the UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship. Twenty-four teams will be drawn into six groups on Nov 19. The finals are Jul 09 in Belarus.
