A History of Dolly Parton and Dollywood
Born January 19, 1946, singer, songwriter, and actress Dolly Parton inspires locals and visitors! Locust Ridge, Tennessee, Dolly's hometown in the Great Smoky Mountains was not a large enough place to contain all of this amazing woman's dreams. A day after Dolly graduated from Sevier County High School, she packed her cardboard suitcase with songs and moved to Nashville, Tennessee.
Robert Lee and Avie Lee Parton's fourth child, Dolly Rebecca Parton, wrote songs from an early age and made appearances on WSEV radio in Sevierville by the age of nine. At ten, she became a regular performer on the "Cas Walker Show" broadcast on Knoxville, Tennessee television.
Only three years after leaving home, Porter Wagoner selected Dolly as his new "girl singer" for his syndicated show. This 21 year old was on her way! After seven years of performing on the Porter Wagoner Shower, Dolly left with two Country Music Association Awards for Duo of the Year in search of a solo career. Two years later, Dolly Parton joined the Grand Ole Opry. Dolly has won countless other awards and dazzled fans with many albums. This spectacular performer has also entertained on the big screen in movies such as Nine to Five, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, Rhinestone, Steele Magnolias, Straight Talk, and Joyful Noise. Other works that bare this talented lady's name are two books: Dolly Parton: My Life and Other Unfinished Business and Coat of Many Colors.
World renowned, Dolly Parton received the highest honor for a country singer in 1999; she was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. Dolly released a country/gospel album, For God and Country, in 2003
This performer is also a businesswoman! Each year she returns home for her parade through Pigeon Forge and to visit her theme parks, Dollywood and Splash Country. The little girl who grew up in the mountains of east Tennessee and made them a part of her music still loves her home.
Dolly Parton's theme park, Dollywood has not always carried her name. This amusement park began in 1961 as Rebel Railroad. The Robbins Brothers ran a small entertainment park featuring a coal-fired steam train named Klondike Katie and shops such as a general store, blacksmith shop, and a saloon. In 1970 Rebel Railroad became Goldrush Junction when the Cleveland Browns owner, Art Modell purchased the park from the Robbins Brothers.
While Mr. Modell owned this theme park it began to expand to include rides such as the Log Flume, which was relocated from the New York World's Fair. Before selling Goldrush Junction to Hershend Enterprises in 1977, the park was known as simply Goldrush for a single year. Once the Hershend brothers, Jack and Pete, owned Goldrush, it became Silver Dollar City, Tennessee. The brothers had succeeded in opening the original Silver Dollar City in Branson, North Carolina in 1960.
In 1986, Dolly Parton joined the Hershend brothers in owning Silver Dollar City. She also shared her name with the theme park and from the opening day in 1986 forward, it became known as the now famous Dollywood.
Now Tennessee's most-visited tourist attraction, Dollywood ranks in the top fifty most attended theme parks in the world and has now doubled in size. Covering over 100 acres, with several new areas and many more attractions, this theme park draws over two million visitors per year to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee! Though Dollywood has expanded and changed ownership, it continues to offer family values and several old-fashioned time periods. Its friendly workers strive to help visitors create "Memories Worth Repeating".

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate reporter
On the south wall of the second floor at the College of Eastern Utah Prehistoric Museum, a cardboard cutout of an unnamed brachiosaurus looms above the painted cement block.
The rendition could be a cartoon creation from a dinosaur-ridden creator's mind - something to peak the imagination, but not real.
However, the paint and paper dramatization does not merely exist in the mind's eye of a single individual.
The fossils of the animal's anatomy reside within the CEU collection, but it would take almost a three-story building to display an assembled skeleton properly.
The large building does not exist, neither do immediate plans to build the facility. But while the relic of a hundred million years ago is at the forefront of the need to expand the museum in Price, the issue is only a small part of what director Reece Barrick foresees the facility could become.
"I have a big vision for this place," commented Barrick. "But it's more than exhibits and collections in a building."
The director views the museum as a concept place, a location where ideas and people merge to learn and explore.
Brick and mortar have to be part of the formula. The museum has limited storage space at the location in downtown Price. And the bone storage facility in the basement at the computer business building on the CEU campus is 90 percent full.
Nevertheless, the prehistoric museum continues to collect additional fossils that are quickly filling the remaining space.
As for current displays, the museum has a mixture of geology, paleontology and archaeology spread throughout the facility. But little is as strong as Barrick would like it to be. Most professional museums display a small percentage of actual collections at one time. However, the local facility has a great deal of the museum's collection on display, partly because there is no other place to store the items.
Some of the most significant finds in the area are waiting for a place to be shown to the public.
In fact, no less than eight new dinosaurs are presently in various stages of collection and assembly.
"Sure, I want to see our exhibits expand and to see our present displays updated and modernized," stated Barrick. "That would bring people in and they would not stop by for more than an hour or two, but instead would stay a day or more."
"But that is only a small part of what this can be," continued the museum director. "This could be an educational center for paleontology. The naturally occurring resources in this area are unsurpassed and research space, with labs and offices, could be very valuable to the area as well. That way, visiting professors and graduate students could come here to do research for extended periods of time."
A small sample of what can happen occurred in recent years when various groups came and stayed for a week or more, spending money in the local economy.
A regular diet of similar activity could not only bolster the museum's standing, but add to the college, promoting CEU programs and possibly expanding the school's educational arena.
Growth and expansion at the college and museum would have a positive effect on the overall economy in Carbon County.
But Barrick views growth in a different way - expanding programs into the community and even across the state.
"The traveling exhibit we started to display in local schools last fall has been a huge success and continues to peak minds in the area," explained the prehistoric museum director.
"I would like to see us do more of that and grow it into programs for the junior high and high school levels," added Barrick.
The display first showed up at Petersen Elementary School in Sunnyside.
Since then, the CEU museum has received requests to show the display at locations throughout Utah.
In addition, a school in California has asked to showcase the traveling exhibit.
"Those kinds of programs take more staff and bigger facilities as well," said Barrick. "But those kinds of things create more interest in the area and can bring more people here."
The museum recently received a $25,000 grant from Carbon County's restaurant tax committee to study the feasiblity of the proposed expansion and come up with preliminary plans for the project.
Barrick has several definite ideas about what the prehistoric museum lacks beyond simply constructing a larger facility.
"There are a lot of things that could make this museum more complete," pointed out the CEU museum director. "For instance, we don't have a very strong exhibit on the geology of the area, how it was formed and the time periods involved."
"Another important aspect of this area was the Western Interior Seaway that ran through here millions of years ago. We have nothing on that," continued Barrick. "But exhibits are expensive and we need to find ways to put them together."
According to the prehistoric museum director, exhibits that are housed in a building usually cost twice as much to produce as the building they are housed in costs to construct.
Basically, the idea of a constructing and operating a new type of museum - one that can attract thousands more national and international visitors - comes down to securing an adequate financial package to fund the project.
"Actually, the money is there," commented Barrick. "You just have to ask for it."
Few higher educational institutions can find a single benefactor to cover all of the schools' financial needs.
Therefore, the money to expand the CEU museum will have to come from a variety of funding sources.
Traditional funding mechanisms include federal sources, private foundations, economic grants, corporations and donations from numerous individuals.
Museums are changing what the facilities are and how they operate. They don't live in a vacuum and they do require a community's support.
"And they are more than just exhibits, too," concluded Barrick.

No. 22 Mens Soccer Scores First BIG EAST Road Win at Butler
INDIANAPOLIS – After emerging from halftime down 1-0, the No. 22 Creighton men's soccer team scored three consecutive goals in the second half to record its first BIG EAST conference road victory over Butler 3-2 at the Butler Bowl Wednesday night.
The Creighton (7-5-2, 3-2-1 BIG EAST) victory snapped the Bluejays' three-match losing streak. Butler (9-5-1, 3-3-0 BIG EAST) suffered its first home loss this season to drop to 6-1 on the year at the Bowl. As a result, Creighton leapfrogs Butler in the BIG EAST standings to move into fifth place overall, just two points behind fellow Wednesday night victors Providence and Xavier who are tied for third.
CU sophomore Christian Blandon halted the Jays' scoreless streak that dated back to Oct. 5 and spanned more than 367 minutes. Classmate Timo Pitter later broke the tie in the 77th minute to make it 2-1 Creighton. Junior Eric Miller capped the Jays' scoring streak with a goal at 86:40 to put CU up 3-1 before Butler notched a late goal in the final minute for the end result.
The three goals scored by Creighton after halftime are the most CU has tallied in a half since the second stanza of the Bluejays' 4-2 victory over Washington in an NCAA Second Round match in Omaha last Nov. 18.
Butler struck first with a goal by Vincent Mitchell, his seventh of the year, in the 14th minute. Mitchell found the back of the net on a header from 15 yards out after a feed from Austin Oldham.
The Bulldogs' 1-0 lead would hold up heading into the locker rooms at halftime. BU posted nine shots while Creighton recorded three in the opening 45. Butler led corner kicks in the first 2-0.
Blandon evened the score at 1-1 on a header just in front of the goal that found a home in the left-side netting in the 49th minute. Sophomore Vincent Keller earned the assist on Blandon's second goal of the year.
The match remained knotted at 1-1 for the next 27 minutes until Pitter's fourth goal of the year at the 76:09 mark put CU up 2-1. Pitter scored his fourth goal of the year, the sophomore's first score since Sept. 6 against Columbia, on an assist from freshman Fabian Herbers.
Just over 10 minutes later, Miller tallied the Jays' third-straight goal from the left side on a feed from Pitter to move Creighton ahead 3-1. It marked Miller's third score of the season.
Butler's David Goldsmith cut the margin to one at 3-2 late with just under a minute remaining in regulation. His goal crossed the line from 15 yards on an assist from Jeff Adkins.
CU junior goalkeeper Alex Bolowich and the Jays defense held off the Bulldog attack late as the final BU attempt sailed high over the goal as time expired.
Bolowich finished the night with eight saves and improved to 6-4-1 overall with the win. Butler's Jon Dawson took the loss to drop to 8-5-1 this season.
The Bulldogs ended the night with more shot attempts at 19-11 and more corners 5-1 but came up short on saves as CU claimed eight to BU's five.
Creighton continues its two-match conference road swing at Seton Hall on Saturday with a noon CT start.

For Oscar-nominated actress Rooney Mara, getting into character is no joke. Embracing the darkly compelling, deeply damaged persona of androgynous Swedish hacker Lisbeth Salander for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo was a top priority for the breakout star, who underwent a shocking, 180-degree transformation for the role. We'll never forget the first time we saw her in full Salander mode on the cover of W magazine with a raven mohawk, eyebrow and lip piercings, and a chest tattoo! They say that life imitates art, so it's not surprising that Mara's personal style was impacted too, evolving from youthful, girly selections to her current taste for austere and edgy looks. From skin-baring cutouts to architectural silhouettes, Mara's latest sartorial choices are unquestionably sophisticated and unfailingly fashion-forward. As such, Mara seemed a fitting choice for this month's edition of Style Spotlight!
Promotional events for the The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo have invariably served as Mara's must-see fashion show, replete with countless black dresses and elegant gowns from in-demand designers. Her willingness to take risks on the red carpet landed her on numerous best-dressed lists, including our recent Golden Globes coverage. Speaking of daring sartorial moves, praise is in order for Mara's ability to pull off a number of skin-revealing silhouettes. For example, at the premiere of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo in Germany early last month, the actress selected a Michael Kors dress from the Pre-Fall 12 collection, which featured a slashed bodice and a leg-baring asymmetrical hemline (bottom row, left). Earlier that day at a photocall, she revealed even more skin via a head-turning midriff crop top and A-line skirt from Miu Miu's S/S 12 collection (top row, right). While these ensembles could appear flirtatious on other women, Mara's minimal beauty choices-pulled-back hair, natural makeup-make the outfits strong and chic. The gray and black color palette also elevates the more revealing silhouettes, ensuring her final look is feminine in a fuss-free way.
Though Mara appreciates cutout frocks for red-carpet appearances, they're not the only kind of dresses in her arsenal! The actress also favors unfussy, simple, and occasionally classic silhouettes, as demonstrated by the black cap-sleeve Miu Miu shift she wore to the National Board of Review Awards Gala in New York last month (top row, left). And though our style subject is currently having a love affair with the color black, her lighter choices prove quite memorable as well! How could one forget her ensemble at the CFDA Vogue Fashion Fund last year (bottom row, right)? The actress looked radiant in Calvin Klein Collection's almost-nude Pleated Panel Slip Dress ($3795, 212.292.9000). Of course, the look was not complete without Mara's signature touch, this time a swipe of wine-colored lipstick.
Naturally, Mara's edgier approach to fashion is also apparent in her off-duty attire. Often lacking overtly feminine pieces, her cold-weather uniform typically consists of a statement piece and biker boots, like the Yves Saint Laurent Prince of Wales Checked Dress ($3,350, 212.980.2970) and AllSaints Damisi Boots ($295) she wore arriving at David Letterman last month (large image). While Mara's style has changed dramatically from her decidedly sweet and girly sensibilities two years ago, her outfit choices are still exceptional, and as always, truly inspiring.
Happily, attaining Mara's signature look is easier than you think. Just be sure to grab a few of today's suggested items! Sartorial risk-takers after Mara's revealing choices will certainly get a kick out of Guess' Miranda Corset Dress ($185) and ASOS' Paprika Cut Out Body-Conscious Dress ($25); both sultry picks are well-suited for a GNO. If you felt drawn to our style subject's crop top and A-line skirt combo instead, snag Opening Ceremony's Cropped Cable Tank ($262) and Herve Leger's Signature Essentials A Line Skirt ($750) for an equally stylish look. Tend to err on the conservative side? Try Keepsake's Make You Mine Dress ($185) for an asymmetrical hemline similar to Mara's Michael Kors dress or Topshop's Plain Shift Dress ($72) for a minimalist silhouette. We also approve of Antipodium's Sleeveless Dress ($519) in Silk Organza and Parker's Side Ruffle Dress ($198), as both offer spot-on alternatives to Mara's Calvin Klein slip dress and give you a head start on spring's pastel trend too!
Last, but certainly not least, you need just a few essentials to emulate Mara's off-the-clock outfits. Most important of all is a statement coat, like Markus Lupfer's Asymmetrical Coat ($408) or Clemens en August's Tartan Wool-Blend Coat ($535). Then, pick up either her exact AllSaints boots or Madewell's similar Lace-Up Combat Boots ($178), and finish with Love Quotes' Eyelash Fringe Scarf ($62). Whatever pieces you go with, opt for minimal accessories and a natural beauty look to really mimic Mara's cool style!-Jessica Baker

Knicks Focus on Defense; Focus Should Be Offensive Rebound Battle
Instead of using my calculator, I will look at basic numbers.
Rebounding is a misleading stat in the sense that the Knicks have won games this year despite being outrebounded. Minnesota, the Clippers, Charlotte and Sacramento are all around or (well) below .500, and are in the top 10 in rebounding differential. The Celtics are 2nd worst in total rebounds per game. I think it's far less about defensive assignments, which certainly are important, and more about limiting second possessions. The Knicks were -6 last night in the offensive rebounding category. Think about it. An offensive rebound (which can be an easy put back for 2 points) gives you another possession. The average NBA team shoots 46% from the field, which is to say they score about 1 out of every 2 possessions. To allow 6 more possessions on offensive rebounds alone puts you in a severe disadvantage in a game that was at most a 3 possession-game (7-9 points) and was pretty much a 2-possession game or less.
If there's one constant, to me, as it relates to wins and losses it's field goal percentage differential, or the largest margin between your team's % and what you hold your opponent to. Miami, Boston, Chicago, Lakers and Magic are all at the top of the league.
The Knicks are allowing 46% and shoot 46%. The heat, the league's best are shooting 47.6% and are giving up 43%
Trying to get "stops" is great in theory on defense in the 4th quarter, it often wins games when game stats are basically equal throughout the course of the game. But would you have to get stops against an inferior team if you didn't give up 6 more offensive rebounds than you obtained throughout the course of the game?
The Knicks lost the offensive rebound battle by 5 against the Bucks and still won. Why? Because Tony Douglas made shots and the bench scored 34 points combined…22 more than they scored against the Cavs last night. Second possessions puts pressure on other players to make shots.
Say what you want about Jeffries…the guy gets you on average 2 offensive rebounds per game and has for his career. He's inportant to this team because they play at a pace that gets them more possessions, but on the flip side they are allowing the other team to get far too many more as well.

CARTHAGE Town of Wilna property owners by now should have received a change of assessment notice.
Most will see an increase in their property assessment after Assessor Robert B. Ball completed a yearlong revaluation of all commercial, industrial, vacant and residential parcels. The reassessment project was conducted in order to bring all property up to full market value, Mr. Ball said.
The last revaluation was done in 2008, and since that time, the market value of homes has grown dramatically 15 to 20 percent, the assessor said.
According to Paul J. Warneck, director of Jefferson County Real Property Tax Services, townwide the assessed valuation went up 10.8 percent from the previous year.
Property assessments are based on sales of similar homes and what it would cost to build the same style structure minus depreciation for the age of the building. Comparable homes would take into consideration the houses location, style, condition and square footage. Any additional items on the property, such as porches, sheds or garages, also are taken into consideration.
Mr. Ball said if a property owner feels an assessment is unfair, an informal hearing may be set up and, for those still dissatisfied, there is a grievance day scheduled for May 28.
To explain the revaluation process, Mr. Ball has created several poster boards to demonstrate the value of homes, noting how much houses in the town are assessed for and for how much they recently sold. The assessor has been working on valuation for six years, two with the town and four previously for Jefferson County.
The assessor said residents can compare their homes to similar ones on real estate current listings such as NNYMLS.com. To answer questions, Mr. Ball can be reached at 493-4207. To set an informal hearing, call 786-7447.
Mr. Ball said if residents plan to meet with him, they should bring photos and any privately conducted appraisal. After the informal hearing, Mr. Ball will review the information, look at the property again and send a second notice relating what, if any, change was made.
Residents who are still dissatisfied can go before the five-member Board of Assessment Review.

Q&A on Fairtrade International and Fair Trade USA
In September 2011, Fair Trade USA (FTUSA) announced resignation of its membership from the international Fairtrade system as of 31 December 2011 (Please see the joint announcement)
Fairtrade International is dedicated to a strong global Fair Trade movement, a global system of Fairtrade Standards and certification, and we strongly believe in the power of an internationally recognized FAIRTRADE Certification Mark. We believe by working together we are always stronger than we are alone, and will work closely with our partners and supporters to achieve our common vision of trade justice for farmers and workers.
To make sure that companies can remain part of the international Fairtrade system, we worked with a diverse body of stakeholders to create a new organization, Fairtrade America, which reflects the needs of the US market and represents the diversity of stakeholders (please see the members of the Multi-Stakeholder Consultative Group for Fairtrade in the USA who helped advise the process).
We are positive there will be many questions around these new developments and we hope to answer some of them below. If you have other questions or comments, please don't hesitate to send us an email email@example.com.
When did these changes take place?
FTUSA announced their decision to leave the international Fairtrade system in early September and withdrew their membership as of December 31, 2011. Fairtrade International's paramount concern remains to ensure that the benefits achieved for farmers and workers continue, and to increase our impact over time.
What has the international Fairtrade system done on the issue in the USA?
When FTUSA first left our system, we decided that the best option would be to listen rather than reacting quickly to help us understand the market and the possible options available, as well as protect the interests of producers. The USA is a large, but mostly untapped, market.
We convened facilitated dialogue sessions with key stakeholders, dedicated Fairtrade businesses, civil society actors, large businesses and more. Over 170 organizations responded to an online survey. You can see the results of this dialogue process here.
The dialogue and the opinions expressed demonstrated a desire for the international Fairtrade system in the US market. A demand was discovered for a multi-stakeholder system that truly respects the position of producers and all stakeholders.
Since then we have established Fairtrade America, a new organization to maintain the international Fairtrade system in the USA and promote the international FAIRTRADE Mark - the only mark that ensures that products bearing it meet internationally-agreed Fairtrade Standards.
How did Fairtrade producers react to FTUSA's announcement?
Producer Networks, which represent the interests of Fairtrade certified small-scale producers, workers and other stakeholders, are concerned about the changes in the global Fairtrade system and the departure of Fair Trade USA (FTUSA).
CAN, the organization representing the interests of the three Fairtrade Producer Networks, have issued this public statement on the issue.
You can also read statements from individual Producer Networks and the regional body representing small scale coffee producers in Latin America below:
Fairtrade Africa (PDF),
Network of Asian Producers (PDF),
Coordinator of Fairtrade Small Producers in Latin America and the Caribbean (PDF),
La Red Café (PDF).
Read more about the Fairtrade Producer Networks here.
How will this impact me as a producer?
Fairtrade International's utmost concern is providing farmers and workers with increasing opportunities to improve their own livelihoods through better trade terms. We are working hard to ensure that FTUSA's decision does not adversely affect producers wishing to sell into the Fairtrade market in the US. We'll make sure that everyone committed to working with the global Fairtrade system will be able to do so.<ins></ins>
For producers selling to US-based companies that are registered with the international Fairtrade system, there will be no changes. For producers selling to businesses registered with other schemes, FTUSA continues to accept FLO-CERT certification as valid for sales into the USA market, but producers should be aware that FLO-CERT will not be able to check the delivery of Fairtrade Premium, nor monitor the delivery of product into the US market.
Otherwise the international Fairtrade system will continue to operate as normal. Over 40 percent of our budget goes in to producer support to help producers enter and stay in the system and access technical support. We will also continue to operate our Producer Certification Fund, which provides grants of up to 75 percent of certification fees to small producer organizations who lack financial resources to pay the full amount. This fund is only possible through our national Fairtrade organizations, who contribute a percentage of their membership fees to the PCF. We also recently announced the Fairtrade Access Fund, which will provide long-term loans to small producers, read more here.
If you are a producer and have any questions or concerns, please get in touch with your contact at PSR, your local producer network or send an email to email@example.com.
How will FTUSA's departure from the international Fairtrade system impact my business?
As of 1 January 2012, FTUSA is no longer the US representative of the international Fairtrade system, certifying to the internationally agreed Fairtrade Standards.
If you are a US-based licensee or importer, or if your supply chain includes US-based traders, FTUSA's decision could have important implications for your business.
This will have some implications for cross-border sales, for example. While we are committed to supporting businesses to remain within the global Fairtrade system, as of June 1, 2012, we will no longer be able to accept FTUSA's certification for sales into other Fairtrade markets under the FAIRTRADE Certification Mark.
To maintain the integrity of the global system, we need companies to register with an approved member organization. In the immediate term, the easiest way to do this is through Fairtrade Canada, which has been mandated by the International Fairtrade System to operate as an LI in the US until December 2013. For companies registering with Fairtrade Canada before 31st of May 2012, there will be no application fee charged to US businesses who are currently registered with FTUSA.
We will do everything to make the transition as easy as possible and to ensure there is still a full service product certification, licensing and account management service, and marketing support available to those who wish to sell certified products in the USA in line with the global Fairtrade system.
We recognize that it may take time for businesses to adjust to the new situation, and we will be as flexible as possible while ensuring the integrity of the Fairtrade Standards and system.
Fairtrade Canada will be helping out in this interim phase as we work with you to establish a transition strategy. Please email them at email@example.com.
Why will FLO-CERT not check on my sales destined for the FTUSA labelled supply chains? Does this mean my company needs another certification to sell in the USA?
FTUSA made a decision to leave the international Fairtrade system at the end of 2011. A consequence of that decision is that FLO-CERT can no longer provide services to FTUSA.
For companies that decide to register with Fairtrade Canada and use the international Mark in the US market, there is no need to seek another certification. Please contact email@example.com for more information.
Companies looking to sell through FTUSA need to consult FTUSA for details.
What does this mean to me as a supporter in the US?
Fair Trade organizations and members of the grassroots Fair Trade movement, including Fair Trade Towns and universities, faith groups and NGOs, have been an integral part to the growth of both Fairtrade certification in the US and to campaigning for trade justice for farmers and workers around the world. We strongly believe that by working together we are stronger than we are alone.
We will create new opportunities to hear back from partners across the movement over coming months, and ensure that the US Fair Trade movement's voice is heard even more strongly within the global Fairtrade system. We want to ensure that whatever we do takes into account the insights and concerns of the Fair Trade movement in North America.
If you are a US stakeholder who is interested in learning more or participating in consultations please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Will the international FAIRTRADE Mark now be available for products in the US?
There has been growing demand from many companies to use the international FAIRTRADE Mark in the US for quite some time. Research by Globescan shows that the FAIRTRADE Certification Mark is now the most recognised ethical product label in the world. Most recently, Fairtrade Canada adopted the global FAIRTRADE Mark, and has seen public recognition grow very quickly.
For the first time in history the FAIRTRADE Mark is a truly global mark and available in all countries. Fairtrade International is currently in the process of establishing a legal presence in the US to facilitate the launch of the FAIRTRADE International Mark in that market.
To learn more about the FAIRTRADE Mark and how your US-based company can remain in the international Fairtrade system, email email@example.com.
Why is Fairtrade International introducing a new organization in the USA?
Throughout our dialogue with stakeholders in the USA, we heard from many businesses wishing to remain part of the global system and others hoping for an organization that espouses the values of the international system. All recognized the value of a global system with internationally-agreed Fairtrade Standards and a strong, credible certification system.
With these wishes in mind and the support of key civil society actors, businesses and others, we have decided that there is a role for the international Fairtrade system in the US market.
In addition, a legal presence is needed in the USA to help businesses remain in the international Fairtrade system. Please visit Fairtrade America for more information on our efforts in the USA.
Will Fairtrade International work to create a Fairtrade marketing organization or labelling initiative in the USA?
The USA is the world's largest consumer market. Any decision on the organizational structure will need to consider the unique needs of the US market.
Fairtrade International is not committed to any one of the current models the international Fairtrade system currently works with. A stakeholder group in the United States has been formed to help guide the international Fairtrade system in creating and developing an organization that addresses the needs of the USA market and will represent the diverse group of stakeholders who will contribute to its success.
Will the presence of the international FAIRTRADE Mark in the Unites States create more confusion among consumers?
The United States is the world's largest market and Fair Trade sales currently represent just a fraction. Fairtrade Canada recently introduced the international Mark in Canada and experienced great success in building widespread recognition in just one year. Initially there may be some confusion, but we are confident that our business partners will recognize the distinct benefits of working with a truly global system with internationally agreed standards and a globally recognized mark.
What makes the Fairtrade global system unique?
The Fairtrade system is one of the largest and most diverse global movements with thousands of relationships in over 90 countries. We have members in Europe, North America, Japan and Australasia, not to mention producers in over 60 countries worldwide.
We are committed to a multi-stakeholder, multilateral system, particularly regarding the involvement of producers in governance and decision-making. Fairtrade producers are represented as members in our highest decision-making body, the Board of Fairtrade International and its committees. Through these mechanisms, producers are involved in decisions regarding overall strategy and the setting of Fairtrade prices, Premiums and Standards. Producers are co-owners of the Fairtrade system.
Where is the Global FAIRTRADE Mark used and known?
We estimate products carrying the global FAIRTRADE Certification Mark are now sold in over 70 countries worldwide, including North America, Europe, Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, Kenya and South Africa. This makes it the most widely recognized ethical label in the world. Recent consumer surveys across 24 countries show that almost 6 in 10 people have seen the international FAIRTRADE Mark and recognition exceeds 85 percent in some markets.
Find the most recent results of the GlobeScan consumer study here. You can find out more about Fairtrade in your own country here.
How does Fairtrade International link in to the global Fair Trade movement?
We are proud to be an active partner in the grassroots Fair Trade movement, working alongside activist groups, dedicated Fair Trade Organizations, local town authorities, faith groups and NGOs to build one of the world's most dynamic social change networks active today, with over 1000 Fair Trade Towns
In 2009, Fairtrade International (FLO) along with the World Fair Trade Organization adopted the Charter of Fair Trade Principles, which provides a single international reference point for Fair Trade. The charter includes our common vision, definition of Fair Trade, core principles and the distinct approaches to Fair Trade. Fairtrade International endorses the definition of Fair Trade and adheres to the Principles. Find out more here.
We work together with advocacy groups such as Fair Trade Advocacy Office in Europe, and work to actively promote greater justice in trade. We are proud of our collaboration with others and firmly believe that by working together, we are always stronger than we are alone.
What are Fairtrade International's membership fees used for?
Member organizations of Fairtrade International contribute into the global Fairtrade system – this is being invested in international standards, policies and producer support networks. In the case of labeling initiatives like Fair Trade USA, the amount of investment was calculated as a percentage of the fees collected for the labeling of products certified to Fairtrade Standards.
Over 40 percent of Fairtrade International's budget is directed to producers through producer services. This includes a global support network of more than 50 locally-based liaison officers who support producers in more than 60 countries to enter Fairtrade and maintain their certification; and development of partnerships with more than twenty outside organizations to provide additional training and services for producers, such as access to financing, market opportunities and capacity-building.
The rest is spent on maintaining the Fairtrade Standards, building awareness and sales of Fairtrade products in new markets, essential global services like coordinating global communications and marketing activities, and developing strategies on different products and issues such as workers' rights and climate change.
We believe that sharing in one globally integrated system is the best way of driving efficiencies of scale, so that we can wherever possible avoid duplication of effort, and ensure resources can be directed to benefit producers as much as possible.
Why isn't the international Fairtrade system working with FTUSA in the USA?
FTUSA took the decision to leave the international Fairtrade system. Even so, Fairtrade International held negotiations with FTUSA regarding outstanding financial issues and possible lines for collaboration in February. A suitable agreement could not be reached and FTUSA's access to Fairtrade certification data has been revoked.
While the international Fairtrade system would prefer to work with FTUSA to minimize impact on producers and businesses, cooperation at this time represents a severe credibility risk to the international Fairtrade system.
All internationally-agreed Fairtrade Standards, Minimum Prices and Premiums are set according to the ISEAL Codes of Good Practice for Standard Setting. This includes an open and transparent standard-setting process and broad and balanced stakeholder engagement in the development and decision-making around the standard.
Since we are uncertain of the policies and procedures enacted by FTUSA regarding current standards and certification, collaboration represents a risk to the overall credibility of the international Fairtrade Standards and certification process. For this same reason, the international Fairtrade system will not recognize FTUSA certifications. In addition, FTUSA's certification is not accredited by ISO65 and therefore does not meet FLO-CERT's basic quality requirements.
What does Fairtrade International think about FTUSA's new Fair Trade For All Initiative?
We recognize that there are many different approaches to Fair Trade. We absolutely share the overall vision of increasing impact for producers – both small farmers and workers and to working in collaboration with the broader Fair Trade movement , to ensure that our cumulative efforts will continue to strengthen producers' position in international trade and improve livelihoods.
We also believe that Fairtrade needs to constantly learn from experience, and innovate for greater impact. However, some of the innovations FTUSA is implementing represent their perspective, which is different from that held by Fairtrade International and our members. You can read our more detailed response here.
Why doesn't the global Fairtrade system provide fair trade certification for coffee grown on estates and plantations when it provides Standards for other products grown on estates?
Different producers and different products have different needs. The Fairtrade Standards are developed according to the ISEAL Code of Good Practice on Standard Setting (www.isealalliance.org/code). Any changes to the standards are the product of in-depth research into benefits, opportunities, and possible effects on the supply chain. A consultation process involving all stakeholders – including producers and traders to retailers and civil society – informs this process.
In the case of coffee, most plantations do not have a permanent workforce. The workers are largely transient and it is difficult to ensure that Fairtrade benefits would reach workers in these situations. In addition, small-scale growers represent the majority of the world's coffee production and are at the heart of the Fairtrade system. One of the strengths of the small producer organization is the promotion of independent, democratic decision-making, something that is difficult to promote among a transient workforce. Opening the Fairtrade system to plantations with large coffee volumes could also threaten small producer organizations that cannot operate on the same scale and all three of our producer networks recognize and voice the need for additional research.
In the case of tea, flowers and bananas, these crops tend to be year round operations with regular croppings that require a large permanent workforce. The workers often live on or nearby the estates with their families and neighbours forming a community that is able to benefit from Fairtrade Premiums. Our existing hired labour standards actively work to support long-term contracts, improved wages, workers' rights and other benefits, something that would be difficult to replicate in coffee plantations currently.
All of this being said, there are many small producers not associated with cooperatives, as well as large populations of workers, that could benefit from Fairtrade. We are working with a producer network to determine how we can adapt the standards to help these small producers overcome barriers to entering the system, but any changes will be made in consultation with all stakeholders in the system. We also recently announced a new strategy on workers' rights for the areas where we do work with hired labour, read more here.
What will be the difference between FTUSA and Fairtrade Standards?
Fairtrade International remains fully committed to providing leadership on the development of transparent and internationally agreed Fairtrade Standards, led by our Standards Unit and independently overseen by an international Standards Committee, including representatives of producers, traders, NGOs and member organizations. We seek to operate according to best practices for international multi-stakeholder participation in standard setting, as laid out by ISEAL, of which Fairtrade International is a member. www.isealalliance.org
Each year Fairtrade aims to engage in more dialogue and become even more consultative, as evidenced by the unprecedented review of Fairtrade Standards with hundreds of stakeholders from over 50 countries, which led to the launch of the New Standards Framework.
As of 1 January 2012, FTUSA will be operating its own approach to the certification of Fair Trade products.We are not aware of FTUSA's plans or how they will develop solid, credible standards.

Today on the Pure Mobile blog, we're getting into heavy metal. Yep, we're talking about Moshi's new series of iPhone 5 accessories, namely the iGlaze Armor Case. This iPhone 5 case takes off where the original iGlaze case left off, adding to that accessory's minimalist design a slick, new metallic finish.
Seriously sophisticated, the iGlaze Armor case features a diamond-cut aluminum backplate, which adds a sleek and modern sheen to what's otherwise an already slim and streamlined case.
It's a really elegant and professional look over all, between the lustrous finish and smooth lines of the design.
Looks aside, though, Moshi's also built a highly utilitarian case that's well-conceived and designed tough. Underneath the polished metallic finish of the backplate rests a resilient Polycarbonate frame that helps keep your phone safe from bumps, shocks and drops.
Meanwhile, in order to keep the lustrous surface of the backplate scratch-free, the phone includes a buffer film that also works to keep the surface free of dust and debris.
Available in a three luxe colors, from slick black to crisp silver and gleaming bronze, Moshi's iGlaze Armor series serves up an elegant iPhone 5 case that's tougher than its immaculate surface appears. Who says beauty and brawn can't live together in harmony?

The Giftby Hafiz
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
More than any other Persian poet, it is perhaps Hafiz who accesses the mystical, healing dimensions of poetry. With this collection of 250 of Hafiz's most intimate poems, Daniel Ladinsky has succeeded in capturing the essence of one of Islam's greatest poetic and religious voices. Each line of The Gift imparts the wonderful qualities of this spiritual teacher: an audacious love that empowers lives, profound knowledge, wild generosity, and a sweet, playful genius unparalleled in world literature.
"For those initiated in colder faces of worship, this Sufi's passionate freedom as God's loving partner is beyond heartwarming; reinvigorate yourself y opening any page and accepting its call." Napra Review
"A worthy companion volume to Coleman Banks's new translation of Rumi. It collects 250 poems written by Muhammad Hafiz (1320?89), the most popular and highly revered poet in Persian history, and renders them into a fresh translation from the Farsi. Like Rumi, Hafiz writes out of the Sufi tradition, and his work bears the Sufi hallmarks of ecstatic spirituality conveyed at once through lush imagery and verbal restraint....A fine preface by Ladinsky and an excellent introduction by Henry S. Mindlin." Kirkus Reviews
Chosen by author Elizabeth Gilbert as one of her ten favorite books, Daniel Ladinsky's extraordinary renderings of 250 unforgettable lyrical poems by Hafiz, one of the greatest Sufi poets of all time
More than any other Persian poet—even Rumi—Hafiz expanded the mystical, healing dimensions of poetry. Because his poems were often ecstatic love songs from God to his beloved world, many have called Hafiz the "Invisible Tongue." Indeed, Daniel Ladinsky has said that his work with Hafiz is an attempt to do the impossible: to render Light into words—to make the Luminous Resonance of God tangible to our finite senses.
I am

The Catholic University for Independent Thinkers
The University of Dallas Student Government functions as the representative assembly of the UD student community. The purpose of UD Student Government is threefold:
Guided by the mission of the University and in accordance with the teachings and principles of the Catholic Church, SG strives to foster a healthy and enriched campus environment and to build up a strong student community. The representatives in SG are dedicated to enhancing the quality of student life by promoting both the academic and social traditions of the University. Student Government is committed to serving the interests of the UD student, and it is important to stress that those of us in SG are always willing to hear your voice so we can bring your ideas and opinions to the rest of the University community. SG looks forward to getting you, the students, more involved in campus life, and so we encourage you to contact us with any questions that you might have.
Student Government was established in 1956 by the Board of Trustees as the official means of communication between the students and the faculty, staff, and administration. It consists of three distinct, but connected branches.
The Senate, consisting of representatives from each undergraduate class, residence halls & student apartments, commuters, and the Holy Trinity Seminary. The Senate and Executive Council meet weekly to discuss important student issues and concerns and provide innovative and effective responses. All Students are always welcome to attend.
The second branch, SPUD (Student Programming at UD) consists of eight committees: Traditions, Academics, Musical Entertainment, Socials, Sound, Publicity, Associate, and TGIT. The SPUD Chairs are assisted by a host of VIPs (Volunteers in Programming) drawn from the student body. Together, members of SPUD plan and run the majority of events on campus, from the weekly TGITs to the annual Mallapalooza.
The third branch, the Executive Council, oversees the actions of the first two. The Executive Council includes the President, VP of Senate, Director In Charge of Programming, Secretary, and Treasurer. The Executive Council ensures that SG as a whole runs smoothly. The President particularly meets with administrators, the VP of Senate presides over the Senate, and the Director In Charge of Programming leads the SPUD team. The Secretary is the de facto coordinator of the Mentoring Program, and the Treasurer ensures responsible handling of SG funds.

|Head Coach - Women's Volleyball
Fall 2012 will mark the 1st season as a college head coach for Mark Kornachuk. A rookie to the rank, but a veteran of the game, Kornachuk has already hit the ground running.
"My first order of business is to see where we stand in both athleticism and mental cohesiveness. I want a team that not only plays with skill but also a team that can be smart out on the court. I would like to see individual players that can adapt to opponent's skill levels and strategies in the middle of plays, sets or matches. As a team, i want to see a cohesive unit on the court working to overcome weaknesses and building on each others strengths. All this depends on how well the basic skill sets of the players are so as a team we are 'going back to basics'. We will build this team with every practice but first we need a solid foundation of skills to build that on," says Kornachuk.
Kornachuk has been playing volleyball for 25 years and brings a large amount of knowledge on what it takes to win. He has worked with different coaches and teams who have had different ideas on what it takes to win and has pledged to take the best of those ideas and applying them to his team. Knowing and teaching techniques is an area that Kornachuk feels is a strength of his that he can pass along to his players.
"I am very strong in getting an inexperienced player up to speed
quickly so they are a very viable part of the team. I also
believe i am able to mold a team into a unit regardless of the
varying skill levels of the individual players.
I am looking forward to the challenges and rewards the UMPI volleyball team will give me as their new coach. I am excited to be involved with volleyball in Northern Maine and hope to be able to pass on my love of the game to not only my players but the local community as well."

What MSPs Need To Know About The Latest HIPAA Rules
By Nick Bruno, Chief Information Security Officer, Continuum Managed Services
The revised set of security and privacy requirements set out by the Department of Health and Human Services (HSS) in January came as a surprise to many, particularly the final omnibus rule that impacts not just healthcare organizations but also a number of their contractors. With that recent issuance, followed by the even more recent (and now passed) deadline for achieving HIPAA compliance, what does your enterprise need to know about the latest HIPAA rules?
Does HIPAA Apply to You?
So many managed services providers (MSPs), resellers, and cloud service vendors are scrambling to figure out whether or not they fall under the now-broad scope of HIPAA compliance. Luckily, the answer to this question isn't complicated:
- Any contractor or vendor (even third party) that handles patient data on the behalf of a healthcare organization needs to be compliant.
The HIPAA regulations call this segment "business associates," and it's better to err on the side of generous when deciding if you are considered one. Companies that were not required to become HIPAA compliant previous to this year may now be considered business associates, and have to ramp up their compliance standards.

The Maryville College study abroad program gives students the opportunity to earn academic credit for time spent in another country. Students can study abroad in January with MC faculty and students, or can stay for a few weeks during the summer and take classes on a language or specific topic. Students can even spend a semester or year taking classes one wouldn't normally get a chance to take. Study abroad is an amazing opportunity to become intimately engaged in another culture by living it everyday, and to also reflect on one's own values and ideas.
Studying abroad is not just about studying; it's about learning from everything you experience. Students will learn a lot from the classes they take, whether courses are about Cross-Cultural Psychology or French Literature. Students make lasting connections among international and local communities.
You will be amazed, confused, and surprised by all the sights, sounds, and smells of a different world. So consider study abroad your gateway to international travel, to global education, to unknown worlds and to experiences you'll never forget.

"This past summer my 8th-grade dream of going to France came true. I never thought that it would. I'd always had little replicas of the Eiffel Tower in my room, but I was never convinced that it was real. Going to France allowed me to live my dream, but it also taught me "real life" lessons about myself and about people."

OGDENSBURG The City Council passed a resolution Monday night supporting the continued operation of the St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center.
The move followed Mayor William D. Nelsons creation last week of a task force to support the center as a state Office of Mental Health Regional Center of Excellence. Proposals by the OMH to reduce the number of inpatient hospital beds statewide have furrowed the brows of north country leaders, who fear any further loss of jobs.
The city is calling upon elected officials to oppose any plan to close the center or reduce services there, as St. Lawrence County continues to face economic hardships from the loss of nearly 1,000 jobs because of the closure of the General Motors plant in Massena and the Newton Falls Fine Paper mill, and cuts at the zinc and talc mines in the Gouverneur area.
The St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center, which employees 520 people, provides residential programs for children, youth and adults as well as sex offender treatment.
It would be a hardship for residents to have to travel to facilities outside of the area, the citys resolution said.
Councilor Jennifer L. Stevenson said that while the potential economic impact to the county is a concern, the people who would lose services here if the center were cut have to be considered. The St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center is the only such facility in this part of the state; the next closest are Huchings Psychiatric Center in Syracuse and Mohawk Valley Psychiatric Center in Utica.
We have so many people in our community that are serviced and definitely need this closeness to any kind of services that they can get that it is just amazing that people would even consider leaving them behind, Ms. Stevenson said.
An Office of Mental Health forum dubbed a listening tour will be held from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Wednesday in the Unity Center on the psychiatric center campus.
One of the points that must be made to OMH officials is the tremendous distance to find other services, Councilor R. Storm Cilley said.
The distances involved are just absolutely unrealistic, Mr. Cilley said.
Even though we do not have a large population, we need those services here.

By JOAN BOYACK PIERCYPrice
I feel the need to respond to the letter from David Fryer that was published in the Jan. 18 edition of the Sun Advocate.
At first I was going to respond in anger, but then I thought I could teach him something. Contrary to his description of Democrats as like dictators, tyrants and taxes, Democrats and unions brought us social security, medicare and pensions.
I am 70 years old and live on a pension, social security and medicare. I suspect many of the people in East Carbon do the same if they are seniors. I am a liberal Democrat and have been so my entire life and I am proud of it.
It might do Mr. Fryer well to stop listening to Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh.
Yours in peace.

After numerous ties and lead changes through the first three quarters, a 9-1 Bear River run midway through the fourth quarter proved to be the difference as the Lady Dinos were eliminated from the 3A basketball tournament with a 56-48 loss on Friday morning at the Dee Events Center in Ogden.
While the Carbon offense struggled mightily on offense in a loss to Dixie the night before, the Lady Dinos came out and were able to string together a few baskets to get on the board early. With the game tied and the clock running down, Carbon's Katie Basinger threw a desperation 3-point shot from near half court that went in as the buzzer sounded giving the Lady Dinos a 9-6 lead.
Over the next two quarters the two teams continued to trade baskets with neither one able to pull away. Carbon led 22-21 at halftime and took a two point lead into the fourth quarter. In the fourth quarter Carbon's offense struggled to connect on shots while the Bear River offense began driving to the basket making close jumpers and connecting on free throw attempts. The Lady Bears quickly took back the lead pushing their lead to 42-38. Basinger hit a 3-pointer for the Lady Dinos cutting the lead to one but Bear River followed with a 9-1 run to build their lead to 49-41.
After a Jordan Scoggins basket and a free throw from Shelby Cornforth, Carbon cut the deficit to 49-44 with a minute left. But they would get no closer as Bear River hit 7 of 8 free throws in the final moments to secure the win.
The game featured a total of 13 lead changes and 10 ties over the 32 minutes of play.
Shelby Cornforth and Taylor Oliver led the Lady Dinos with eight points. Oliver, who went a perfect 8 of 8 from the free throw line, was one part of the Carbon bench that combined for 19 points in the game. Giovanna Chiara finished with seven points and a team-high 10 rebounds and Basinger added six points and three assists.
In her final game for Carbon, Ashley Quinton, the team's only senior, finished with five points and seven rebounds.
With the loss, Carbon finished the 2012-13 season with an overall record of 16-8 and an 8-2 record in Region 12 play.
See Tuesday's edition of the Sun Advocate for photos, stats and more from the Lady Dinos' trip to the 2013 3A basketball tournament.

TRAINING: Grappling, Muay Thai and wrestling in the morning, sparring and conditioning in the evening.
When and why did you start training for fighting? My absolute role model as a child was Jackie Chan. I really wanted to be able to fight like him and wanted to learn Kung Fu. Since there was nothing like it in our small village of Balingen, my parents sent me to Judo training. Even without Kung Fu techniques like the eagle claw or the snakebite, I felt at home in Judo and kept training for five years. A friend later introduced me to Tae Kwon Do which was a lot of fun as well. I stayed with TKD until an MMA school opened near Balingen and after my first trial there, I knew what I wanted to do in the future. My first MMA fight came at age seventeen in Leipzig.
What ranks and titles have you held?
Do you have any heroes? My parents.
What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? I am super excited that the UFC has given me the opportunity to showcase my skills in the Octagon.
Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? I started fighting straight out of high school.
What was your job before you started fighting? I've worked as an IT system merchant for German Telekom.
