On June 18 th, 2011 he recorded a lone assist in his Major League Lacrosse debut versus Boston. A week later the rookie failed to score a point at Hamilton in a 15-14 ovetime loss on June 25 th, 2011. In between the first and third MLL games of his career, Rochester Rattlers attackman Grant Catalino scored nine goals in only his second Major League Lacrosse game on June 24 th, 2011 against the Hamilton Nationals at Sahlen's Stadium in Rochester, New York. Catalino became the fifth player in Major League Lacrosse history to score nine goals in one game. The question for Grant Catalino and the Rochester Rattlers going forward - what is it fair to expect from him for the remainder of 2011 and the rest of his Major League Lacrosse career? Examining the careers of the other four MLL players to score nine goals in a game might give us some insight on what to expect from Catalino this year and in the years to come.
The last player to score nine goals in a Major League Lacrosse game was Ryan Powell. He accomplished the feat on June 16
th, 2006 in San Francisco's 25-20 win over Denver at Invesco Field. Powell's nine goal game came in his sixth professional season. He went on to play in 10 games and score 34 goals with 24 assists for 58 points in 2006. It was Powell's last season with twenty or more goals. Over his eight year career Powell scored twenty or more goals in five of his eight seasons, and thirty or more goals in three seasons. He never scored more than 34 goals in a season. Ryan Powell finished ninth all-time in goals with 190 in 82 games.
Matt Millon and Kevin Leveille scored nine-goals with the same team in the same game in 2005. Millon and Leveille became the second and third members of the nine goal fraternity with the Boston Cannons in a 25-13 victory over Baltimore on July 31
st, 2005.
Kevin Leveille recorded his nine goal game in his third professional season. He went on to play in 12 games and score 39 goals with 12 assists for 51 points in 2005. He went on to score 27 goals and added four assists for 31 points in 2006. Leveielle scored twenty or more goals in seven straight seasons and topped thirty goals four times. He never scored more than 39 goals. Kevin Leveille finished his career fifth on the all-time list with 230 goals in 86 career games.
Matt Millon scored nine goals against Baltimore in his fifth season. He scored 38 goals and added 18 assists for 56 points in 12 games in 2005. Millon scored between 38 and 45 goals each of his first five years in the league. Millon is the only member of the nine goal club to have historically significant single season records. In 2002 he had the seventh best season in history with 44 goals. One year later he had the fifth best season in MLL history with 45 goals. He scored 40 or more goals his first three years in Major League Lacrosse, thirty or more goals in his first five seasons and twenty or more goals his first six seasons. Matt Millon finished his MLL career third on the all-time list with 239 goals in 80 games.
Tim Goettelmann was the first player in Major League Lacrosse to score nine-goals in one game on August 10, 2003 in a 23-16 Long Island victory over New Jersey. He went on to play in 11 games and score 29 goals with 6 assists for 35 points in 2003, his third season in Major League Lacrosse. The next season he posted 26 goals and 16 assists for 42 points. He scored twenty or more goals each season in all ten Major League Lacrosse seasons he has played through 2010. Goettelmann never scored more than thirty goals in a season. Tim Goettelmann has scored 251 goals in 122 career games. He in Major League Lacrosse's all-time leading goal scorer and all-time leader in games played. Goettelmann has six goals and two assists in five games in 2011.
In looking at the seasons in which they scored nine goals in a game, Goettelmann, Millon, Leveille, and Powell all went on to score between 29 and 39 goals the season they scored nine goals. None of their goal scoring totals were high enough to crack the single-season top ten list for goals scored. In fact Mark Millon is the only one of the four to ever crack the top ten list with 44 goals in 2003 and 45 goals in 2002. A single-game goal scoring record total has not translated into a historic single-season goal scoring record for the previous nine goal scorers.
While the single season goal totals for the first four members of the nine goals club might not be historically significant, their careers certainly were. Ryan Powell scored nine goals in a game and finished his career with 190 goals (ninth all-time), but he was also a great set-up man with 180 assists (third all-time). The other three goal scorers combined for 23 seasons of twenty or more goals, nine seasons of thirty or more goals and two seasons of forty or more goals. Kevin Leveielle finished with 230 goals (fifth all-time), Matt Millon finished with 239 goals (third all-time) and Tim Goettelmann is the all-time leader in goals scored with 257 goals and counting.
So what can the careers of Catalino's four predecessors allow us to predict about the future course of Grant Catalino's career? The first thing it's important to note is that Grant Catalino is the youngest player to ever score nine goals in a game and it's not really close. Goettelmann and Leveille both accomplished the feat in their third years and already had established themselves as professionals. The second thing it's important to note is that Catalino's four predecessors also played in double digit games the season they scored nine goals in a game. Catalino led the Mayland Terrapins to their first NCAA finals appearance since 1998 this spring, so the maximum number of games that Catalino can play in is nine. While the experiences of Catalino's predecessors makes it clear that we should not expect a historically significant season of forty-four goals or more, but it should be reasonable to expect twenty goals or more in 2011.
All four of Catalino's predecessors are all on the MLL's top-ten list in goals all-time. Will Catalino end up there too? Only time will tell, but it should be fun to watch.

Pérez insisted that 90% of CRASH officers were "in the loop," knowingly framing innocent suspects and perjuring themselves on the witness stand. Pérez claims his superiors were aware of and encouraged CRASH officers to engage in misconduct; the goal of the unit was to arrest gang members by any means necessary. Pérez described how CRASH officers were awarded plaques for shooting suspects, with extra honors if suspects were killed. Pérez alleges that CRASH officers carried spare guns in their "war bags" to plant on suspects.

text: Millard, Childress remain even in QB race By Dave Hickman April 4, 2013 Story Share MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- West Virginia will reach the halfway point of its 15 spring practices this weekend without one key element in any successful football team - a starting quarterback.That's actually no surprise, of course, given that Paul Millard and Ford Childress are essentially starting from scratch in their battle to replace Geno Smith.But even offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Shannon Dawson finds the closeness of the competition startling."They're even,'' Dawson said of the two. "There's never been a quarterback race more even than this one.''And at least for now, it's apparently kind of ugly, too."They're doing the same things good, the same things bad. One day one of them might do things slightly better, but to be honest it's probably a lot more bad than good,'' Dawson said. "That's just the way it is. They're growing. They're learning."To expect them to be in a place where we can send them out there to perform on Saturday, we're not there yet. I think everybody understands that we're not there yet. We're dealing with guys that are inexperienced. But it's not the only position we're inexperienced at. Thank goodness for spring ball, right. Fifteen practices. We'll take it. We're not in any hurry to get on the field yet on Saturdays.''Millard is a junior who has spent the past two seasons as Smith's only real backup, but never was called on to play in critical situations. Childress is a redshirt freshman who has been in the program now for a year."They still make inexperienced mistakes every day,'' Dawson said. "And the only way you correct that is with experience.'' In a way, Dawson would prefer that he had his quarterback right now. It certainly would make preparing one for the season easier.Then again, there's nothing like competition to bring out the best in the two."I like that [dead heat] right now, but eventually you want it clear cut,'' Dawson said. "If you hog-tied me and put me under a fire right now and made me make a decision, chances are it would be the wrong one because it's just so close. Hopefully at some point one of them rises up."But this is going to make them better. You can't be complacent when the competition is that close. If either one of them gets complacent, then the other one will win the job.''That's not likely to happen soon, though."For us to even have a quarterback named at the end of spring is probably far fetched,'' Dawson said. "We've got a whole spring, a whole summer and a whole camp. And the competition is only going to make them better.'' BRIEFLY: Offensive lineman Pat Eger, one of the leading candidates to win the open job at center, apparently wasn't seriously hurt when he injured his surgically-repaired ankle at the end of Tuesday's practice. He didn't practice Thursday, but rode a stationary bike and did a few other things during practice with his ankle taped.Walk-on Logan Moore is trying wide receiver instead of quarterback. He made the move this week after practicing last fall and early this spring with the QBs. Moore, who is from Fairmont and spent a year as the starting quarterback at Fairmont State, has never played any other position."I asked him if he was ready to block and he said he'd never done it,'' receivers coach Lonnie Galloway said. "But he's willing to do anything to get on the field.''Reach Dave Hickman at 304-348-1734 or email@example.com or follow him at twitter.com/dphickman1 Story Share Story Share Trending Now 1 Mitch Vingle: WVU's Lyons watching bombshell merger news 2 City of Milton tries to revive Morris Memorial property 3 Morgantown coal operator Laurita indicted in alleged campaign finance scheme 4 Former Boone school board members indicted 5 Books and Brews expanding to Charleston's West Side For SA's Garber, success not just measured in wins Previous Story Hartley earning praise in new role Next Story

Texas Youth Takes Top Honors in National Fish Art Contest
Eagle Lake student's work will help fund conservation projects
ATHENS, Texas—Clayton Bowen of Eagle Lake won the Art of Conservation Award in Wildlife Forever's 2007 State-Fish Art Contest, it was announced Saturday at the Mall of America in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Bowen's watercolor on canvas paper of a Guadalupe bass diving into the water will be reproduced as a stamp for sale to collectors; proceeds will be used to fund conservation education and aquatic restoration projects across America.
Two other Texas students also placed in the national competition.
Third place in the grades 4-6 category went to Stanislav Nedzelskyi of Keller, Texas, a home-schooled sixth grader. His acrylic drawing of two Guadalupe bass is titled "The Underwater Meeting."
Nikita Samarin of Victoria placed third in the grades 7-9 category with "Down in the Blue," a black-and-white pencil drawing of a catfish. Samarin attends Profit Magnet High School in Victoria. His art teacher is Melanie Burns.
Bowen is a 2007 graduate of Rice High School in Altair, where his art instructor was Debbie Christ.
"I read about the contest in the Houston Chronicle," Bowen said. "I'd never done a wildlife picture before, so I researched the fish and put a lot of information together. I had seen pictures of fish under water, and I wanted to do something different, so my drawing has the fish jumping into the water."
Bowen will enter the University of Texas at Austin this fall, where he will major in fine arts.
The Texas division of the national contest is headquartered at the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center (TFFC) in Athens. Initial judging took place at TFFC, and winning entries were sent to Wildlife Forever headquarters in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, for judging at the national level.
"Wildlife Forever is pleased to honor the talented young artists, educators and parents who make the State-Fish Art Contest a memorable event," said Douglas H. Grann, president and CEO of Wildlife Forever. "Together, we are using art to empower a new generation of conservationists. By sharing their fish art with family, friends and the general public, our young people are becoming ambassadors for the good stewardship of fish and wildlife habitat."
Educators and students in Texas embraced the State-Fish Art Contest so enthusiastically that the number of entries from Texas alone, 580, amounted to one-fourth of the entries for the entire country. "The large number of entries from Texas meant that many pieces of art of very high quality did not advance to the next round of judging," said Zoe Ann Stinchcomb, education team leader at TFFC and Texas coordinator of the contest. "Currently we are seeking sponsors for awards for Texas students so that more can be recognized at the state level, and ultimately we hope to be able to award scholarships to Texas winners."
To enter the contest, students create an illustration of an officially recognized state fish and write a composition about its behavior, habitat and efforts to conserve it. The Texas state fish is the Guadalupe bass, but contestants may depict any state fish of their choice. Entries are due at TFFC March 31 of each year; for contest details visit the TFFC Web site.
Wildlife Forever is a non-profit multi-species conservation organization dedicated to conserving America's wildlife heritage. Wildlife Forever has funded conservation projects in all 50 states. It supports habitat restoration and enhancement, land acquisition, research and management of fish and wildlife populations.
Sponsors for the Wildlife Forever State-Fish Art Contest include Cheap Joe's Art Stuff, The Art Institutes International Minnesota, Mall of America, Minnesota Twins, North American Fishing Club, Rapala, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and the U.S. Forest Service Eastern Region.

Just cause she drinks vodka with her eggs doesn't mean she's Russian.
Depends on how much change I have. If I'm short, I'll usually opt for JayRedd's Mom. She gets the job done at a reasonable price.
Because she's Russian.
Otherwise, if I have a little money I'll give LG's Mom a call for a Donald Sterling-esque night of pleasure and romance.
The Dewster's post from before still needs a numbey check.
The question was "Is this your handwriting?"
I PM'd the Dewey One explaining his mistake. We will have to keep a watchful eye on the post until we see a change.
Unfortunately, that happens all too often with the rookies. They come in here, eager to count - but make a simple mistake. Then they're notified of the error and never come back, afraid to make a similar mishap.
Counting is not for the cowards. Counters are some of the most brave and noble people out there.
EDIT: Pally assist!
Yes! Finally, a pally!
Crap, the one time I get a pally, it's not with the right username. :/
Thanks for the dime RC.
Nice Pally, Just. Look at how quickly you've learned the ways of counting. Must be that Butler education.
LG, remember when we used to be close friends? Whatever happened to those days? I'll be your best friend for a day, and then maybe we can go from there?
And I won't be here to see the day
It all dries up and blows away
I'd hang around just to see
But they never had much use for me
In Levelland. (James McMurtry)
I just want to be raskol's hero.
Okay, so it's set. Tomorrow, LG and I will become best friends. We'll see what transpires from there.
Won't lovers revolt now?
And I won't be here to see the day
It all dries up and blows away
I'd hang around just to see
But they never had much use for me

It cracks me up that people actually bother communicating with Kofi.
You, Never? Did the Kenosha Kid?
What up gents?
Being the diablo 2 fan that I am, I will post this picture anytime I get a pally.
Howdy, cramerica. How are things? Staying safe???
Oh yea, the only danger I have in Qatar is this damn heat/humidity. At 6pm it was 106 degrees in May. Can't wait for July/August.
And everytime you post that pic, carey, I will post this one.
Read my Pacers blog:

This thread just took a turn for the weird.
I can't wait to hear about carey and LG's Thelma and Louise type adventures.
106 degrees? That's pretty hot. Glad to hear you're holding up though.

Worst Thanksgiving guest ever.
Las Vegas Pacers. Oh well, I guess I won't have the ticket expense to worry about. Must be nice to have a good team like Atlanta or Philly. Wish our team was that good.
THe David West signing was a huge mistake!!!!!
I can't wait until we trade Danny Granger for a healthy, consistent scorer who can hit clutch shots, a point guard who can distribute and make all our other players a million times better, or an athletic big man who can backup the 4 and 5 appropriately (and better than THans, Pendergraph, or Amundson).
Okay, I actually want those things, but I don't really want to see Granger traded in the process. I'd rather just get lucky with what we already have: Lances passes all the time like the point guard we need AND becomes a consistent scorer off the bench, Paul becomes the most consistent and clutch scorer on the team, leading the way perfectly for Lance. And, of course, Pendergraph gets better and proves he's miles ahead of Amundson; either that, or our draft pick turns into a great quality big man who makes the biggest difference next season.

I am so tired of losing. Trade Roy, Danny, and Paul George for Lin and Ranaldo Balkman. That would be best move of the century.
Can we already move this scrub team to Seattle and rebuild around Nash or Calderon? The guys that really can run this team.
Maybe i would let George stay, because he plays so bad and inconsistent only because DC is a terrible PG and his 18 pts tonight totally ruined chemistry.
Paul George's lackadaisical defense on Ricky Rubio in the first half of the BBVA Rising Stars Challenge is indicative of his indifferent attitude toward the less "sexy" side of the ball. He will never win an NBA championship.
trade him now. him and granger both, it's clear now that granger's no defense has been rubbing off of him.
Throw the kitchen sink at the Cavs Kyrie Irving. I'm talking the entire GDP of the state of Indiana.
Carmel HS Class of 2011
Hell, even give Cleveland the Indy 500.
That devastating dunk contest loss will probably set this franchise back at least a couple of years.
The sticker that Paul George stuck on the backboard may as well have been Jonathan Bender's face.
That's right, and he might as well have jumped over David Harrison.
If we can't beat the friggin' 76ers at home how in the hell will we compete with Orlando? That's assuming we get the #3 seed.
I think it's time to trade Paul George for Cartier Martin.
Or trade him for Kurt Thomas. At least he keeps his balls low to the ground.
Yeah, but I hear that's because he has some kind of hernia due to old age.
We're going all the way, Pacers train can't be stopped. Loss to Sixers was just a ruse to keep the odds on their Finals chances down so they can make a little cash on the down low.
They might be the single greatest basketball team ever.*
*we didn't really specify the direction of kneejerk as far as I can tell
Pacers need Murphleavy back. At least they could score. JOB > Vogel all day. 2012 Magic = '90s Bulls.
I blame our first game loss on everyone that said we would sweep the Magic. And for those who said, "I don't mean to jinx us, but I think we'll sweep", you're especially to blame, but at least you considered the jinx before you placed it.
Don't worry, the Magic can't hold this up for four more games.
witters: @imbtyler, @postgameonline
That was the best comeback in NBA history.

Denver Broncos starting running back Willis McGahee has a torn MCL in his right knee that will keep him out six to eight weeks, ESPN reports. The injury occurred early in the second quarter of Sunday's 30-23 home win over the San Diego Chargers.
McGahee, who has been running hard and well to complement quarterback Peyton Manning's red-hot passing all season, was working on his best game of the season (seven carries, 55 yards) when he went down. Rookie Ronnie Hillman (12 carries, 43 yards) and Lance Ball (six carries, 35 yards) did the job splitting the workload.
Look for the versatile Hillman, whom the Broncos have incorporated more in their game in recent weeks even with McGahee healthy, to see a lot more action. They're also fortunate to still have 2009 first-round pick Knowshon Moreno to bolster their depth behind Hillman and Ball.
Given McGahee's recent issues with fumbling and his age (just turned 31), the Broncos had been leaning toward a more committee approach, anyway. Their offensive line is strong enough where they will still be effective rushing to continue to set up great play-action shots for Manning.

SHELLEY Rudman completed the full set of World Cup medals – and claimed European silver – to give herself the ideal pre-Olympics tonic ahead of the Winter Games in Sochi.
The Pewsey slider, 32, clinched her second podium finish of the campaign at the final round of the eight-race FIBT season in Germany.
Rudman finished third in a weather-curtailed final round of the series, which doubled as the European Championships and was the last competitive outing before the Olympics in Russia, the opening ceremony for which is next Friday.
Rudman clocked 53.42 to lie in third place behind America's Noelle Pikus-Pace (52.92) and Janine Flock, of Austria (53.36) after the first run.
The second scheduled run was then cancelled due to heavy snow, ensuring Flock took the European crown, with Rudman taking silver - her fifth European medal having claimed gold in 2009 and 2011, a bronze in between and silver in 2006.
Great Britain compatriot Lizzy Yarnold was crowned overall champion for the first time, ahead of Pikus-Pace, while Rudman added overall third to her silver-medal finishes in 2009 and 2010 and her 2012 triumph.
Rudman said: "I'm delighted with how it went.
"I really enjoy the Konigsee track and I've had some great results here in the past – it's very technical, so to podium here is really positive.
"To finish the season in the bronze position overall is a great achievement.
"It's the only World Cup trophy I haven't won so I'm very happy I now have a complete set.
"The silver in the European Championship is also a great bonus – a good day at the office.''
The Olympic women's skeleton competition takes place in Sochi over two days on February 13-14, with two heats on each day.

What's your toddler's personality type?
Knowing this could impact your parenting style more than you realise. more
Betsy provides practical and down to earth tips and advice for parents to
help with milestones, discipline, fussy eaters, pet deaths, toilet training and more, for toddlers through to school age
Betsy is a renowned child development specialist, parent educator, and author of Just Tell Me What To Say: Sensible Tips and Scripts for Perplexed Parents. You can find out more about Betsy and her best selling book here.
Be clear and precise about what will happen and your expectations of the child: "We are going to the toy store, where I am just buying a birthday gift for cousin Seymour, nothing else. You may look at all the toys and even tell me what you like, but I am only buying one thing and that is a gift for cousin Seymour. If you need to have a fuss, we will leave the store and I will go to the store without you."
Don't worry; it's bound to happen sometimes. Your child desperately wants the fruit roll. You say no,
and it's curtains. Here are your choices:
Tantrums in restaurants are more difficult because, unlike the grocery store, patrons are there to
enjoy themselves. When your child has a tantrum, it can ruin other guests' dining experiences. It most certainly is your job
to restrain and contain your child. Make sure your expectations are realistic, though. Some children do not belong in
restaurants. Period. They are simply not mature enough.
At the very first sign of a disturbance, remove your child from the table and take him to a private area. Get down on his level and reiterate your expectations, as well as what will happen if they are not met. Be calm and clear. Use few words: "In this restaurant you may not yell or cry loudly. It needs to stop right now. This is your only warning. If it happens again, you will be taken home."
If it happens again, take him home! Now, here is the kicker. Make sure that you and your husband or you and the baby go out to dinner the very next night, or even breakfast the next morning. Yes, hire a sitter! Tell the child: "Daddy and I are going to a restaurant, but we are not taking you with us. Last night you were not able to use your inside voice, you had a tantrum at the restaurant, and I had to take you home.

The slow start to the Chilean grape season is being felt in the marketplace, importers and officials said.
"The spot market is very high right now," said Mark Greenberg, president and chief executive officer of Capespan
North America LLC, St. Laurent, Quebec. "Growers with fruit in the market must be happy."
Demand is so strong, many buyers are willing to overlook quality, which has not been great at the beginning of the deal, Greenberg said.
"Flames that aren't especially good are selling for $36," he said. "There's a lot of small fruit."
Movement should remain slow and prices high until February, at the earliest, Greenberg said. Fruit was running seven to 10 days behind schedule as of early January, and that would likely continue, he said.
"No one's going to be promoting at least through January."
When things do change, Greenberg said he hopes it's not too sudden.
"I hope the volumes increase, but in a healthy, gradual way."
The risk, he said, is that U.S. and Canadian retailers forget about grapes because of the dearth of product early in the deal and then are slow to promote when promotable volumes start arriving.
"Chain stores need time to adjust their pricing," he said. "It's hard for them when there's nothing there and then 10 days later the price is $15 lower" because of a surge of supplies.
Retailers who have slow-moving higher-priced inventory won't be too quick to start selling cheap grapes.
"I represent growers, so I like high prices," he said. "But I don't like to see retailers lose interest because they're too expensive. We need to get promotions for when the fruit arrives."
In early January, the Chilean season was still sputtering, though that would likely change by February, said John
Pandol, special projects manager for Pandol Bros. Inc., Delano, Calif.
"Volumes are down for this time of year, but they are catching up," Pandol said.
But they won't likely catch up entirely, Pandol said. Traditionally, 50 million boxes has been a benchmark for Chilean grape shipments to the U.S.
"It's come off the past few years, as other markets have been viewed as more attractive," he said.
That won't likely be the case as much this season, Pandol said. Exchange rates in rival destinations don't enjoy the advantages over the U.S. they have in the past.
Still, this season, with the combination of that downward momentum and growing problems in Chile, totals will likely be closer to 40 million boxes, Pandol said.
"We're getting a slightly larger piece of a smaller pie," he said.
Karen Brux, North American managing director of the Sonoma, Calif.-based Chilean Fresh Fruit Association, also reported strong demand at the beginning of the 2012-13 season.
"Demand and pricing are very strong, and we expect this to hold steady in the coming weeks," Brux said Jan. 14.
"The late California varieties were short this season, and with Peru and Brazil winding down, this presents a very strong market for Chilean grapes."

For years Senator Charles Schumer of New York has been a driving force in the battle to abolish low quality business method patents, the type that patent trolls regularly use to attack businesses with vexatious lawsuits. He authored Section 18 of the America Invents Act, which is known as the transitional program for covered business method patents. The purpose of the program is to create an effective and fair post grant review for business method patents used in the "practice, administration, or management" of a financial product or service.
Senator Schumer tirelessly championed the implementation of this provision, weighing in with comments to the Patent Office's rulemaking, reinforcing that it was "enacted for the dual purposes of improving patent quality and reducing meritless litigation of low quality business method patents."
This week, Senator Schumer has announced his intention to strengthen the program, so that it will apply to all types of business method patents, to include more businesses, and would also make the program permanent. This is welcome news. As I have said in prior blog posts on the patent problem, it will take a number of initiatives to stamp out abusive patent litigation. Senator Schumer's approach is right on the money and will be a huge help in solving the patent troll problem. We look forward to working with him and other members to get this important legislation passed as soon as possible.

Campaigning begins for EA Sports' NHL '14 cover boy
By Allan Muir
On some level, everyone recognizes that the cover athlete for a video game matters about as much as a vice-presidential running mate, right? A game, especially one in a long-running series like EA Sports' NHL brand, sells itself on its own merits. They could probably slap a stick figure on the front and sell exactly as many copies as they would if it featured Sidney Crosby.
But they can't put Sid on the front every year -- things would get a little confusing if they did -- and the NHL and NHLPA licenses demand that a current player wearing his team's logo must be prominently featured. They're fussy about that sort of thing.
So credit the marketing whizzes at EA Sports for turning a meaningless decision into an annual event guaranteed to get hardcore hockey fans and hockey gamers all worked up ahead of the product's September release.
The online voting to find a successor to Claude Giroux as the cover athlete for EA's NHL '14 began Monday with 60 players, two from each team, vying for your love. From there, the field will be winnowed down to 30 team reps plus two wild cards based on most votes earned in a losing effort. That will create a 32-player bracket-style tournament from which a winner eventually will be crowned.
A field that size should offer up a handful of intriguing candidates, but honestly, it's probably a good thing that the game sells itself considering the crew of semi-stars they have lined up.
Not that there aren't are a few solid choices--Evgeni Malkin, Martin Brodeur, John Tavares, Joe Thornton, Taylor Hall and Pavel Datsyuk all seem eminently cover-worthy. But the field of 60 is littered with players like Teddy Purcell, Mike Fisher, Matt Beleskey, Andrew Cogliano, Dennis Wideman and Lee Stempniak, whose own kids probably wouldn't vote for them.
Then again, the most intriguing option might be one of the outliers. Brandon Yip, Nashville's three-goal forward, is so off-the-wall that a Vote For Rory-style grassroots campaign is already percolating. Can't wait to see the fan-produced ads touting Yip that are sure to start popping up online any day now.
The ground war already has begun in earnest in South Florida, where Kris Versteeg is about to turn Brian Campbell into his own personal Barry Goldwater. Versteeg's hipster qualifications include training a dog to bark in Spanish and being able to grow a mustache, while Campbell 's running a campaign that should go over well with Lawrence Welk fans and other shut-ins. But since that crowd isn't the key demographic for hockey video games, I'm guessing Versteeg pulls close to 100 percent of the Florida vote. If not, it's time to go back to a monarchy.

What would you like to see developed along the riverfront in Carrollton?
How about a Hike/Bike trail from 6th street along the river, through Point Park, to the new RV park? Something nice like they have in Madison would be great, but even just a blacktopped trail wide enough for people on bikes to pass each other would be good start. Some nice plantings along the trail could be used to provide some privacy for home and business owners who desire it. It would need to be easy to clean up after flooding. It might also need some lights on poles if it is going to be accessible at night ... for safety and security.
A trail would provide access to downtown via bikes from the RV park. It would promote healthy exercise. The views from the trail would be great. It would be a selling point for bringing events to the Point Park. It would provide access to alternate parking for Point Park events that would not require people walking flooding Main Street.
My 2 cents worth,

Doña Irene Sotelo: Traditional Mexican Midwife
by Elise Kimmons, CPM, LM
© 2001 Midwifery Today, Inc. All rights reserved.
[Editor's note: This article first appeared in Midwifery Today Issue 58, Summer 2001.]
Eugene Conference - Doña Irene teaching massage with oils from Mexico
The traditional Mexican midwife extended her hand to me and grasped mine firmly. "Mucho gusto a conocerla," I greeted her, smiling. Doña Irene Sotelo's eyes flashed in greeting, and as she smiled broadly back, my eyes filled with warm tears and a lump rose in my throat. I was feeling so many things inside: respect that bordered on awe, delight to be devoting concentrated time to cross-cultural midwifery, insecurity about my ability to speak her language smoothly enough, and anticipation of all I was going to learn from her.
Midwifery Today had invited her to Eugene to teach at our spring conference, and she had arrived, at Publisher Jan Tritten's suggestion, a couple of days early. I was going to spend almost 24 hours with this woman, and I so wanted to do a good job of it. I wanted to be an exemplary representative of American hospitality as well as speak Spanish without jamming too many feet in my mouth. Two years had passed since I'd spoken conversational Spanish with a native speaker, and I was nervous about my vocabulary and grammar usage. The Spanish I'd spoken back then was centered around maternity care, which consoled me somewhat—we were both midwives, and I figured that many of our conversations would revolve around our work. After a rather bumpy start over the potluck lunch with other midwives and staff from Midwifery Today, the Spanish part of my brain revved up and I began to speak more easily.
After lunch, Jan, Doña Irene and I planned the rest of our afternoon. We were going to talk about conference details pertinent to Doña Irene's teaching responsibilities, find out more about Doña Irene's journey through midwifery and also go shopping! Doña Irene understood me (whew!) and seemed content to ease through the rest of the day with us.
As we strolled through the garden section of Wal-Mart, Doña Irene told us about a plant she uses to help stimulate a slow labor. She pulled a cloth bundle from her purse, carefully unwrapping a few strands of a plant she'd brought with her. I recognized it as a houseplant commonly known as "Wandering Jew." In her part of Mexico it's called the Yerba de Pollo. As she described how she brews the tea and lovingly spoons it into the laboring mom's mouth, we located this plant on the shelf. However, it was too far gone to use in her workshop.
Doña Irene and I arrived home late in the afternoon. Over dinner she engaged my daughter and our roommate in conversation. She was very relaxed and congenial. We then discussed many things about our own families and midwifery care. Doña Irene's knowledge about women's bodies and childbearing is profound. From a very early age she felt guided by God to help women in birth. At the age of 14, she quietly stepped in at a breech birth, compelled by an inner knowing, and delivered the baby while the attending midwife watched her. This 80-year old midwife subsequently invited her to all the difficult births, since Doña Irene's intuition guided her to do the right thing. She says that she didn't feel any fear at these births—she just knew she had to be there and that she could help.
After seven complicated births, she finally attended a normal one, and that's when she felt some doubt arise. The old midwife was unable to attend and told the father to summon Doña Irene because she "had some smarts and didn't get scared." Doña Irene arrived at the home to find the mother on the floor on her hands and knees, ready to birth. She asked God "What's this?" and then asked the woman to get up on the bed. The woman glared at her and said she felt just fine where she was. So Irene oiled the woman's vagina and delivered the baby perfectly! She was elated after this birth and felt in her heart that she could now deliver babies on her own. She was 14½.
Doña Irene uses one room in her home just for maternal/infant care. She attends births most often in the homes of her clients, but she also will do them in this special room. Massage and herbal remedies are two of the tools she uses. But above all, she knows that her hands have been graced and guided by God. This deep faith and prayer are the other tools she uses.
Doña Irene is a curandera (healer) and treats a wide variety of illnesses from another room in her home. Her home clinic is open seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mothers bring in their children, and men come to her for help. She feels a special affinity for the girls/women who come to her seeking healing from abuse. She learned this healing art from other viejitas (old women) early on in her life.
Doña Irene has earned the respect of her community. The youth call her Abuela (grandmother) when they see her in town. Adults refer friends (who haven't been healed despite—or because of—modern medicine) to her. She is active with the midwifery group in her state (Morelos) and attends/teaches at the educational workshops. She is what we in this country would consider a licensed midwife, but feels no particular protection from persecution because of that. She sees signs that the government is moving toward abolishing all traditional midwives and homebirths. This confounds her.
If there is one primary thing that we midwives in the North can do to help our sister midwives in the South, it is to keep doing our own work from our hearts and prayers. Additionally, we must continue to promote midwifery awareness and education—crossing borders into Mexico would warm her heart. And finally, Doña Irene's message is strong: have no fear at births; what we are doing is the most important work on earth!
It was an honor to have had Doña Irene as my guest. Her heart was large enough to smile faintly at my grammatical faux pas, and to hold my own midwife-being tenderly in her presence.

DWR's New Strategy for Success: Relocate & Realign
- Location: multiple locations
- Website: dwr.com
At a recent press preview of DWR's new Spring 2011 line, I met CEO John Edelman, who has taken over the company after some major shake-ups. (That's not him in the pic above — it's outdoor furniture buyer Ben Gaffrey.) This time last year, Fast Company's award-winning piece, The Rise and Fall of DWR, unmasked the company's messy move from CEO to CEO. The article ended on an uncertain note, with the writer wondering whether they'd be able to come back after two years of financial losses and mission drift.
12 months almost to the date, DWR's done a lot to transform: hiring Edelman, leaving its long-time San Francisco headquarters for Stamford, Connecticut, expanding the contract division, and partnering with younger, hipper designers — many of them based in Brooklyn.
Edelman has publicly denounced some of the decisions made by DWR leadership in the past — most notably, the production of barely legal knock-offs that cannibalized the forms of best-selling designers including Mario Bellini and Terence Woodgate. While DWR retains its manufacturing arm, its current policy is to collaborate closely with designers on new product lines.
One recent example is the "Ollie" collection, designed by skateboarder and product developer Royce Nelson. Made from teak and synthetic rattan, the lounges and chairs have wide arms that can double as seats... or surfaces to perform skate tricks, if you take the title literally. Other collaborations include the spring collection's "Rusa" line, created with Los-Angeles based KAA Architects, and the "Play" line produced with Philippe Starck, Eugeni Quitllet, and outdoor furniture company Dedon.
The Herman Miller and Knoll classics are still there, available in new colorways and ready to ship, but Edelman is also focusing on cultivating new talent. He's a charming, salesy kind of guy with an approachable demeanor and a no-bulls**t way of speaking. He discussed the move to Stamford as a strategic step in bringing the company to the place where good design is incubating (specific shout-out to Brooklyn) and while he won't knock San Francisco, he says it's just not New York when it comes to cutting-edge design.
The company is also working to build its relationships with architects, and it shows in the new products. Many of the pieces in the Spring Collection are much bigger than DWR's usual stuff, which indicates an eye to the contract market.

The Dream
There's a dream I have, something I've wanted to do for a few years now, and if you've seen the illustration above you probably already have a pretty good idea of what it is.
I want to buy a small school bus and convert it into a beautiful house on wheels. It would be a sort of Howl's Moving Castle of the American roadways. I want to pack it full of books and art and juggling equipment. I want to pack it full of Hatke Girls. And then I want to drive to festivals and libraries and bookstores around the country selling art and books, meeting people, and putting on little shows. I try not to idealize it. I know it wouldn't always be fun. I know a short bus is an awfully small space for a family of six (though it's got to be better than a minivan). But it would probably, more often than not, be an interesting experience. Plus, the girls might see how big this land really is.
The more time passes the stronger the idea grows.

Do it! Do it!
(Though I would prefer quadrupedal and steam-powered, but that's just me ;)
I have some good friends (Mom, Dad and five kids) who converted an old bookmobile into a RV.They use it for their yearly adventures.

Ah, if only we could do a mechanically-legged steam powered high victorian traveling domicile.
Jeanie I'm glad your still popping by my little blog! I'm pretty sure it would be trying if we tried living in it for longer than ...well I don't know. But it would be GREAT for trips to ren fairs, even sundays in the forest. But one time at least I'd want to drive coast to coast. Maybe in the early fall.

I think you would definitely need the tent that is glimpsed in the right-hand side of the drawing, in order to have sufficient sleeping space. I'm sure it would be an interesting experience, especially if you choose your sites well.
You might also have to worry about things like town permits to sell things, depending on where you stop. I can just see some grumpy local resident or shopkeeper looking up the local zoning and commerce laws to say that where you are parked with your house-on-wheels is not residentially zoned, or that you need a street vendor or performer permit...
But if you ever do this, let all your readers know ahead of time, so we can invite you to our towns. I know a homeschooling group who would probably love to have you stop by.

Hey Fr M, I have your book all packaged up but I missed the post office today! I just realized that Monday is memorial day so it won't go out until tuesday. So sorry!
Sleeping space would indeed be tight, but I imagine we would have a tent and we'd be visiting festivals and friends all along the way, so the amenities would vary from stop to stop.
I'm always worried about permits and such, but the big trip would be planned out in advance, especially where bookstores and libraries are concerned, and we'd be sure to blog and facebook everything along the way.

Oh man, what a wonderful dream! and an easy one to get swept up in too, ha-ha-ha!
Dreams like this remind me of "The Hobbit"... by that I mean when Gandalf told Bilbo that when things seem bleak and too hard, to think of pleasant things. I often hear the voice of the Rankin Bass Bilbo saying "...eggs. Bacon. A good full pipe... cakes."
Thanks for sharing!

Why settle for a short bus? You might consider a full- sized school bus so you can stretch out a little! Did I tell you about the bread truck for sale by St. Ann's? It's not a bus. But it was for sale. Also, after you get the vehicle there's really nothing stopping you! Especially in the warm months when festivals are going on. I've always imagined that's how all vendors at the Feast live!

Ha! I am NOT converting a bread tuck! Does a bread truck even have windows? And I'm afraid a full sized bus intimidates me.
But yes, in the warm months, the sky would be the limit. You can see the dream, can't you Annie?
And Jeff! Rankin Bass Hobbit! I also often remember the part in the book where it reminds us that adventures are not always pony rides in May sunshine... ain't it the truth.

Did you see the short bus for sale at Eaton's at the end of our street? My neighbor is eyeing it, so you better act fast. Although, I think it has been there for quite a while. It would be quite the adventure! You better act soon before the kids turn into teenagers. It may not be as fun then. ;)

When 15th century European explorers sailed the world's oceans in search of new trade routes, they represented the dawn of a new concept — globalization. But, it wasn't until the late 20th century — and the explosion of information and communication technology that rocked the world — that globalization started to define how the world functions. Our bachelor's program in global studies will immerse you in all the cultural, economic, and political implications of globalization and prepare you to prosper in this brave new world.
Globalization impacts almost every field of study - particularly business, culture, and communication. With our interdisciplinary program, you'll view the world from all of these vantage points and see the complex network of connections between nations and people. By the time you're a senior, you'll be able to work on a specific case study. The Kyoto Treaty is one case study in which students examine political, economic, and environmental ramifications.
You may also choose to double-major. Pair your global studies major with one in another academic discipline - business management, legal studies, or political science, for example.
By the time you graduate, you'll be a true "global thinker" — one who can parlay your interdisciplinary education into a career in government agencies, multinational companies, financial institutions, and non-governmental organizations.
During your junior and seniors years, you'll focus on a particular geographical region of the world by completing several upper-level courses. Currently, we offer: Eastern Europe and Russian, Western Europe, Latin America, Asia, and the Arabic-speaking world.
As a student of the world — and one who has zeroed in on a particular region — you should be proficient in at least one other language. We offer six: Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Russian, and Spanish.
It's one thing to study the world here in the U.S. but studying abroad? That can be the most exciting, fascinating voyage of your entire education. It's so important to your development that we require at least one semester abroad in your chosen region. We even suggest an additional semester or summer abroad in a second location if at all possible.
While you're abroad, you'll take several academic courses and pursue a hands-on experience outside of the classroom that ties in with your interests. For example, if you interned for a multi-national corporation here in the U.S., you would then work for them in their overseas office. Or, you could intern in a foreign legal office if law interests you. Or in a theater or gallery if art is your passion. Whatever your interest, we'll make it work for you.
We offer study abroad in over twenty sites around the world, including Eastern and Western Europe, Latin America, Russia, and China.

Category: sandra bullock baby
Sandra Bullock's choice of Bardo as her newly-adopted son's middle name puts the spotlight back on the O names – names that begin, end, or otherwise emphasize the letter O.
We've always loved the O names and have taken an ever-expanding view of the category since publishing our first name book, Beyond Jennifer & Jason, in which we (shockingly, at the time) declared names that end in O such as Theo and Milo to be "So Far Out They're In."
Linda wrote a blog last year on popular O names, ranging from Leo to Inigo, Alessandro to Juno and including such newly-hot not-technically-ending-in-O girls' choices as Harlow and Margot.
But Bardo wasn't in there – though it was included on nameberry, as a German saint's name (he was the 11th century bishop of Mainz) and also an Aboriginal name meaning water.
Bardo is also a Buddhist concept meaning "intermediate state" – significant, many say, because of Bullock's marital woes and decision to divorce, announced at the same time as her baby's adoption.
Wikipedia lists the Six Bardos for those who want more illumination on Bardo, as well as other people and places that have a relationship to the name. In a more earthly realm, David Boreanz named his infant daughter Bardot, as in the surname of French star Brigitte.
Other obscure O names with celebrity connections (how's that for a nameberry-only subgroup?) include:

The heads of six general aviation groups last month strongly rebuked a report by a Washington, D.C.-area radio station that alleged GA is the "Achilles Heel" of aviation security.
"We are concerned because the report treats issues that were raised and addressed 10 years ago as if they are new, and because it fails to make any mention of the myriad, multi-layered changes to general aviation security that have taken place since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks," they said.
AOPA, the Experimental Aircraft Association, the General Aviation Manufacturers Association, Helicopter Association International, the National Air Transportation Association and NBAA took radio station WTOP to task for not attempting to contact any of them before airing its report on May 7, even though four are located within 10 miles of the station's studio.
"Any or all of us would have welcomed the opportunity to discuss such an important issue with Mr. [J.J.] Green," they wrote in a letter to the station. "Should WTOP have occasion to cover general aviation security in the future, we would welcome the opportunity to share our knowledge of the issue with your audience."
They argued that the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) itself recognizes that the many different missions and types of airports and landing facilities that general aviation operates from make a one-size-fits-all security solution impossible. Further, the TSA's own "Security Guidelines for General Aviation Airports" allows the flexibility to enhance security in differing situations.
"One must recall that on 9/11, there were no GA aviation security requirements. Now, any person seeking primary or certain advanced flight training must prove his or her nationality, and if a foreign national undergo additional background checks. The pilot registry is routinely checked against terrorist watch lists.
"Unlike airline pilots who fly hundreds of strangers every day, pilots operating flights under Part 91 of the Federal Aviation Regulations–whether a light two-seat propeller airplane or a 19-passenger business jet–know their passengers," the associations continued. "Part 135 air taxi/air charter pilots and operators have additional security requirements imposed by [the TSA]. Finally, contrary to the implication in Mr. Green's story, general aviation airplanes arriving in the United States are subject to exactly the same 'no-fly' list requirements as the scheduled airlines," the associations said.

This appears to more of an 'editorial' than a report. The fact that a D.C. radio station was the originator is very suspect on its own merit, and the fact that no one with knowlege of aircraft operations was asked to offer an opinion would indicate a 'political' motive.

JJ Green has long been a propagandist for DOD - if you listen to the rest of his reports, you'll get the idea. This is completely in character for him, fortunately, most people that agree with him would have regardless of his reporting anyway. Hopefully most can see through it.

On 12 Sep 2001, I had a business meeting with some people from Jeppesen. Regarding the terrorist attacks, I said, "General Aviation is going to be severely punished for that." "What do you mean?" one asked, "General Aviation had nothing to do with it?" "Exactly," I replied.

Sounds as if he talks before he thinks. GA has lifted Aviation to the height it is today. So many of us are currant or retired from the airlines, military, government and recreational flying with many hours and experience in all fields. The only reason he that he has oral diarrhea is for political reasons and it is quite obvious that he does not know much about GA. We are always being slapped around.
E. Harold Munn, Jr. (not verified)
June 4, 2012 - 5:50pm
Contrary to WTOP's comment, many of us higher time GA pilots carefully observed the door codes to GA ramps; screened any less-than-familiar passenger-guests; filed and flew instrument plans on VFR days when using a major hub airport as a further identity precaution. The approaching pilot shortage is not alleviated by less than intelligent comments in the media, written or mouthed by persons totally ignorant of the subject, but expected to aid circulation numbers by fomenting fear on the part of the public and triggering knee-jerk regulatory action with attendant increase in public employment rolls.

At a trade show recently, the issue of GA came up in conversation with several SATOP and TSA publicists who loudly acknowledged the "security hole" enjoyed by GA and proclaimed that "they won't get away with that much longer."
TSA has its administrative eyes on no less than the FAA itself and as the 99 political percenters know, they usually get what they want through the media.
J.W. (not verified)

My thoughts is that GA pilots help increase security around airports with an extra set of eyes. Pilots have thousands and even hundreds of thousands of dollars in aircraft and if something amiss, I am sure it gets brought to the attention of authorities. On the other hand here at KCPR (an international airport BTW) we have a drag racing club behind the security fence and countless private race trailers lined up along the building. The place is a throng of activity in to many hours of the night and "burnouts" are common on the taxiway! There are also many members of the club that have access to the secure area where the shop is located behind the security fence. None of the members have a lick of interest in aviation but get access because they have some stoke with the head of maintainance at the airport. I have to believe similar things are going on at other airports around the country as well. So before we start regulating GA pilots that contribute to the economy of this country let the FAA clean- up some of these situations across the country first! I put out a tremendous amount of money every month to keep my aircraft flying and deserve access to the facility!

Most automobiles and light trucks have more payload capacity than my GA airplane.
Where's the rant about security concerns with private autos? OK City had a devastating attack perpetrated with a rented truck. Where is the outrage about all the delivery vans so prevalent in our cities? Nice try, JJ, now back to your cubicle!

Why not invite Mr. J. J. Green to agree to have someone from AOPA and/or Business Aviation to come on the "show", present valid facts, and 1) present a knowledgeable response to the allegations, and 2) debate possibilities for a mutually acceptable plan which "secures" GA interests and property AND meets the public need for security?
Perhaps this is too unreasonable a suggestion; the Washington modus operandi these days is more stand behind rigid walls of positionality and throw verbal rocks at anyone else with differing ideas. Everyone voices opinions. Being informed has become optional.

Charlotte Hounds acquire Danowski, Berger and picks in blockbuster trade
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (December 7, 2011) – The Hounds war room was buzzing with scenarios and excitement leading up and into the 2012 MLL Expansion Draft. After discussions with the Long Island Lizards, the Hounds selected Max Quinzani with the 4th overall selection and immediately dealt him to the Lizards as part of a huge deal.
The Hounds traded Max Quinzani and the #1 overall 2012 MLL Collegiate Pick for former Team USA starting attackman Matt Danowski (A), Stephen Berger (M), the 20th overall 2012 MLL Collegiate Pick and a 3rd Round 2013 MLL Collegiate Pick.
" The 2012 MLL Collegiate Draft is loaded with talent, particularly at the top. Rob Pannell and Steele Stanwick are highly coveted and will make an immediate, positive impact wherever they land. Despite the strength in the Draft, we saw an opportunity to leverage the top pick to bring in two of the top 20 players in the league." said Wade Leaphart.
"We're thrilled. We see Matt and Stephen as building blocks for us. Two great MLL pros with a rich pedigree," added Coach Mike Cerino.

VANDALS have stolen plants from a shopping parade for the second time in two months.
West Road Community and Traders' Association has been targeted again by thieves who dug up a large buxus flowering shrub from West Road, Shoebury.
Yobs also sprayed blackmarkings across flowerbeds which were paid for by donations.
The bush, which is about two feet tall, was taken between 6pm on Monday, May 12, and 10am on Wednesday, May 14.
Its disappearance was discovered by Peter Edwards, who works in Taylor Edwards locksmiths, in West Road.
He said: "These plants are a result of donations from people in the street to a charity trying to brighten up the town.
"For the people who planted and tend to them, including myself, it feels like a punch in the gut. We have been putting all this effort in to keeping these alive and no one seems to appreciate it. It's as if every effort to try to make the road more presentable seems to be harmed by the minority of idiots."
Traders believe someone must have driven up to the planter, by the pharmacy inWest Road, and used gardening equipment to remove the deeply-rooted shrub.
Thieves also stole three other buxus plants, worth about £300, between 10pm on Thursday, March 13, and 6.15am on Friday, March 14.
Mr Edwards' mother Angela, 61, added: "People need as much uplift and confidence as they can get to encourage them to spend, which generates work.
"People had made very generous offers to fund these plants and were pleased to see us improving the area.
"It may seem a small thing, but it's part of a depressing picture."
Nine planters and two benches were installed along the road in June, thanks to business and resident donations, plus £2,500 from social enterprise the Community Development Foundation and £1,000 from Essex Co-operative Society Chelmsford Star.
Police are investigating.
Anyone with any information is asked to contact PC Sharon Blaxland at Shoebury on 101, or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.

We seek to empower family farmers and workers around the world, while enriching the lives of those struggling in poverty. Rather than creating dependency on aid, we use a market-based approach that empowers farmers to get a fair price for their harvest, helps workers create safe working conditions, provides a decent living wage and guarantees the right to organize. Through direct, equitable trade, farming and working families are able to eat better, keep their kids in school, improve health and housing, and invest in the future. Keeping families, local economies, the natural environment, and the larger community strong today and for generations to come; these are the results we seek through Fair Trade.
We aim to channel more of the opportunities and benefits of globalization to the underprivileged farming and working families who today are being left behind.
Protecting the environment goes hand-in-hand with protecting the future livelihoods of local communities. The Fair Trade model requires rigorous protection of local ecosystems and ensures that farmers receive a harvest price, which will allow them to practice sustainable agriculture. We encourage farmers to transition to organic agriculture because it is safer for farm workers, healthier for consumers and better for the environment. Ultimately, we help farming families become the best stewards of their land.
As Americans become increasingly concerned about the state of the world and look for opportunities to use their power in the marketplace to make a positive difference, we seek to provide an avenue for consumers to vote with their dollar. As we educate and inspire more and more consumers, we hope to be a force for change.
We believe the rise of the Conscious Consumer will cause a fundamental shift in the way companies do business and create a historic opportunity to reward companies that embrace sustainability.
We envision a day when Fair Trade products are readily available in stores across the country, when U.S. consumers can choose a "Fair Trade Lifestyle" and shop responsibly in every product category. This vision requires an inclusive approach to new products and stakeholders. For us, Fair Trade is not just a market; it is also a social movement that brings strength, hope and real choice to the world's consumers. Companies should not have to choose between social responsibility and the bottom line. We envision Fair Trade as a new global business model that helps industry secure its own profitability and competitiveness while it protects the environment and ensures a fair return to farmers and workers. We help industry forge long-term partnerships throughout the supply chain so companies can both obtain the highest quality products and support disadvantaged producer communities. In our effort to reach consumers throughout the nation, we choose to collaborate with companies of all types and sizes, from mission-driven organizations and family-owned businesses to transnational corporations.
