Monroe prison inmate captured
NORTH BEND, Wash. - An inmate who escaped from the Monroe Correctional Complex last week is back in jail after authorities following a tip from a hiker tracked him down in the woods.
King County Sheriff's Sgt. Cindi West said Monday that 37-year-old Brandon Musto was booked into Snohomish County Jail. He had been on the lam since escaping from a minimum security unit Wednesday.
West says a male hiker called police Sunday afternoon to report seeing Musto near the Rattlesnake Ridge trailhead near North Bend. Police say Musto borrowed the man's phone to call his mom. He then ran into the woods.
SWAT and K-9 teams searched the area and found Musto at about 7 p.m. He was treated at a hospital for a dog bite to his leg before Snohomish County deputies took custody of him.

[Dalton, Ga.] During the past two years, Shaw has recreated its laminate flooring program by no longer using ready-made outside visuals in favor of designs strategically created in-house with the aid of sister company Anderson Hardwood Floors. The goal: to introduce highly-desirable wood visuals in affordable laminate formats that wouldn't be practical for Anderson to launch in hardwood, according to Drew Hash, Shaw's hard surface category manager.
"The major design houses used to come in every year and we'd say we liked this or that design. We would edit them by adding or removing a knot here or there but now we have a totally different mindset," he said. "Who better to help design our laminate than Anderson, the best wood styling organization in the country?"
The two-year collaboration between Shaw laminate and Anderson has resulted in the well-received launch of the Breton and Canterbury collections during this year's winter market. The Breton collection features "limed" hickory visuals with low-gloss smooth finishes while Canterbury portrays vintage oiled oaks with textured saw marks. Both collections are available in affordable 8mm formats; feature popular five-inch widths; are manufactured in Shaw's Ringgold, Ga., facility; and, have Made in the U.S.A. stamped across the cartons.
Shaw will also offer its partners new wire brushed visuals due to launch later this summer.
"Up until recently, Shaw's laminate flooring was definitely behind the competition when it came to style and design. But the new products they launched this year instantly put them up with the big boys. Their laminate program has undergone a miraculous transformation. And not only are the new intros brilliant, they're tied to an aggressive price program," said Sean O'Rourke, vice president of hard surfaces at New Jersey-based Avalon Carpet and Tile.
While many companies claim to be style and design leaders, Mike Carr, owner of Sebring, Fla.-based Floors Direct, said Shaw's new laminate introductions are proving their strength. "Shaw has really turned around its laminate program and its products have become much more appealing to consumers," he said. "Shaw's style and design has gone from pretty bad to really good. The cash register doesn't lie. When you combine the new styles with the amazing service they've always provided and the pricing they can get out of their Ringgold plant — Shaw has reinvented itself as a major player in laminate. And having Made in the U.S.A. on their products goes a long way with customers in the South."
There's also Shaw's massive logistics network, which allows it to deliver product anywhere in the country within two to three business days freeing up retail partners' cash and inventory space, added Carr Newton, Shaw's laminate category manager. "Capital is still tight and our local production combined with our distribution and warehouse network means dealers don't have to carry inventory," he said. "These dealers have been through a tough four or five years and they're not sitting on the capital they once had. They need smaller quantities and quick turnarounds and we can provide that for them."
Shaw also has the ability to bundle its extensive hard surface and soft surface portfolio with outgoing orders of laminate, concluded Hash.
"We spend a lot of time making sure we provide the right product that fits depending on the end-user's lifestyle," he said.
Shaw's new Breton features a unique "lime" effect developed together by Shaw's laminate and Anderson Hardwood's designers.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Feb. 9, 2012) – Spalding, a division of Russell Brands, LLC, has announced that Misty May-Treanor (Santa Monica, Calif.), a two-time Olympic gold medalist, has entered into a long-term marketing, licensing and promotional agreement with the brand.
May-Treanor's relationship with Spalding includes appearances, advertising, volleyball clinics, product development collaboration and signature products.
Pro beach player and 2008 Olympic gold medalist Todd Rogers (Santa Barbara, Calif.) and Karch Kiraly (San Clemente, Calif.), a three-time Olympic gold medalist and U.S. Women's National Team coach, are also Spalding ambassadors.
Spalding also serves as USA Volleyball's "Official Net System Supplier for Indoor and Beach Volleyball" and has served as the official ball for the USAV Beach Junior Tour.
"I learned to play and compete in beach volleyball on the sands of Santa Monica," May-Treanor said. "The only ball on the beach then was the Spalding® Top-Flite 18 Panel. At this point in my career, to be involved with the company that helped launch my volleyball journey and that of so many other players is awesome."
Spalding will be working with May-Treanor to further develop her M2 Clinic program, which works to promote indoor and outdoor volleyball for boys and girls across the country. Additionally, May-Treanor will assist Spalding in development of the brand's best-in-class outdoor net and net system category and provide design insight on the colors and styles of the brand's indoor volleyball collection.
"Working with Misty is an honor for Spalding," said Paul Sullivan, vice president of sales and marketing for Spalding. "Her success on and off the sand speaks for itself. Her passion and desire to share her love of the sport with fans around the world embodies the 'True to the Game' spirit of the Spalding® brand."

May-Treanor has also signed a deal with Nestle Prepared Foods Company and will be sharing how she and her husband, professional baseball player Matt Treanor, reconnect over STOUFFER'S® Sautes for Two™ to inspire couples across the country to do the same.

Expert Q & A Answers About HIV on utensils
Can I get HIV from sharing food or utensils?
My friend and I were eating Japanese food and she took the chopsticks out of her mouth and stuck them in my hot noodle soup. I know for a fact that she has had multiple partners and hasn't been tested for AIDS. I also have a small blister in my mouth that I'm worried makes me more susceptible to STDs. Should I be concerned?

I'm from California, more specifically the Central Coast. I've been a tea drinker for most of my life, but only recently has it come into the prime time for me. I used to drink primarily soda or coffee. The area of tea that I drink the most of is Japanese Green teas, more specifically senchas and gyokuros are my primary beverages, but I am branching out more and more.
I've got a blog as well, i've posted it in the blog section, but here it is anyway:

Salvation Army

Walt Lastewka St. Catharines, ON
Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to rise in the House of Commons to offer congratulations to the Salvation Army's St. Catharines Booth Centre which will celebrate its 50th anniversary on Saturday, November 2, 2002.
The St. Catharines Booth Centre, formerly the Salvation Army Men's Social Service Centre, opened its doors in 1952 to provide for the physical, spiritual and emotional needs of individuals over the age of 18, regardless of origin.
The centre has grown with the community to meet its changing needs. The centre now is a combined halfway house and hostel and offers a total of 33 bed spaces to those in need. It also offers meals, clothing, counselling, referral and recreational services, a volunteer chaplaincy at the Niagara Detention Centre, a court support program at the St. Catharines courthouse and a family tracing service which helps to locate immediate family members who have lost touch and wish to be reunited.
I would like to thank Major Henry Jewer, the staff and all the volunteers of the St. Catharines Booth Centre for 50 years of caring and compassionate service to the community. I know the Booth Centre looks forward to providing its valuable service for many years to come.
Kyoto Protocol
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Canadian Alliance
Leon Benoit Lakeland, AB
Mr. Speaker, the government seems to have an agenda to make life difficult for our farmers and now a blow which will be fatal for many. If the government implements the Kyoto protocol it will be a devastating blow for many farmers.
The government has imposed a wheat board monopoly on farmers, only farmers on the Prairies keep in mind, so that some are being sent to jail for selling their own wheat. Drought has hit farmers unbelievably hard over the past few years. The port of Vancouver now has been left closed by the government and nothing has been done about that. Unfair trade in other countries has driven prices down so that farmers are getting paid well below prices paid to their competitors.
Now there is Kyoto, which does nothing for pollution but which would drive up prices for things like fuel, fertilizer and pesticides which our farmers pay. All will go up substantially. How much? The government does not know, yet it is going to ratify. It seems like it simply does not care.
On a related issue, the crew of the HMCS Ottawa has recently returned from the gulf and will be in the gallery today. I think every one of us should thank them.
Synergy Award
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Raymond Simard Saint Boniface, MB
Mr. Speaker, yesterday in my home town of Winnipeg the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council joined with the Conference Board of Canada to award six Synergy Awards for outstanding university-industry-R and D partnerships. These awards salute the success of Canadian companies working with university researchers to leverage this country's innovation strengths.
One of the winners was in my city. The University of Manitoba and Calgary based Canadian Bio-Systems Inc. earned their award for their joint efforts in improving enzymes added to animal feed. The enzymes help animals absorb more nutrients from every kilogram of feed, allowing farmers to raise healthier animals for less money and passing both quality and savings on to the Canadian consumer.
This research, I understand, allows farmers a more natural way of dealing with animal feed challenges, a way that is safer, more efficient and more environmentally friendly. I have been told that the long run goal of this research is to phase out antibiotics in the feed with "prebiotics", natural enzymes that enhance the animal's immune system.
Potato Industry
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Joe McGuire Egmont, PE
Mr. Speaker, the potato industry in Prince Edward Island is extremely important to the island's economy. It is its number one commodity and accounts for about one-third of Canada's potato production.
Two years ago the discovery of potato wart in a solitary P.E.I. field touched off a 10 month severe trade dispute, causing up to $30 million in lost U.S. and Canadian sales to the island's potato industry. Since that time P.E.I. has been chafing under severe export restrictions.
These restrictions are too severe. Both potato wart and the mop-top potato virus are soil borne and if potatoes are cleaned neither virus will spread. Neighbouring farms that are tested and found to be virus free should not have to face trade restrictions.
Canada and the United States need to work together to revise and refine our potato management plan. We need to protect potato producers from unfair trade restrictions while adopting a science based approach.
Women's History Month
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Mac Harb Ottawa Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, October is Women's History Month and this year's theme is Women and Sports--Champions Forever.
I would like to take this opportunity to celebrate the achievement of "Canada's Sweetheart", Barbara Ann Scott from Ottawa. To this day Barbara Ann Scott is the only Canadian ever to win Olympic gold in the senior women's figure skating competition. Her love for the sport, dedication, sheer determination and hard work all helped her to achieve this impressive goal.
Barbara Ann won many skating titles in her short figure skating career. She was crowned senior champion from 1944 to 1948, the North American champion from 1945 to 1948, the European champion in 1947 and 1948, the world champion in 1947 and 1948 and Olympic gold medallist in St. Moritz, Switzerland in 1948.
Her grace, sportsmanship, technical brilliance and modesty, on and off the ice, are still remembered today. I salute Barbara Ann Scott for her great accomplishments.
Prairie Farmers

2:05 p.m.
Canadian Alliance
Kevin Sorenson Crowfoot, AB
Mr. Speaker, tomorrow four of my constituents, Jim Ness, Rick Strankman, Rod Hanger and Mark Peterson, all hardworking and honest prairie farmers, are going to jail. These men are paying a huge cost; the loss of their freedom for defending their rights.
These farmers for justice believe that western farmers should not only be able to grow and market their own grain but that they should have the right to turn it into a saleable good.
The minister responsible for the Canadian Wheat Board is directly responsible for the injustice these prairie farmers face. I call upon the government to show some compassion, to show some common sense and decency and grant these farmers the same rights producers in the rest of Canada have taken for granted. Give them the freedom to sell their own wheat.
It is time to stop making criminals out of our prairie farmers who are simply attempting to earn an honest living for themselves and their families while defending our rural way of life.
Middle Powers Initiative Delegation
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Irwin Cotler Mount Royal, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Middle Powers Initiative Delegation, a distinguished arms control group visiting Ottawa today, has commended Canada for being the only NATO country to vote yes at the United Nations last week on the New Agenda Coalition's resolution "Towards a Nuclear Free World".
I wish to join in the commendation of our government and to associate myself, as chair of the Canadian Parliamentarians for Global Action, with six other MPI priorities which are particularly compelling in the new strategic context of post-cold war and post-September 11, including: strategic arms reduction in accordance with NPT commitments; control of missile defences and preventing missile proliferation; reduction and elimination of non-strategic and tactical nuclear weapons; the non-use of nuclear weapons and the commitment of middle power countries like Canada to refuse to support first use of nuclear weapons in security policies; ban on nuclear testing, including respecting the moratorium on nuclear testing and ratification of the comprehensive test ban treaty; and, control of fissile materials, particularly given the threat to terrorist use of nuclear devices and materials.
This agenda is truly protective of homeland security and global security.
Statements By Members
October 30th, 2002 / 2:10 p.m.
Yves Rocheleau Trois-Rivières, QC
Mr. Speaker, on October 27, the people of Brazil democratically exercised their preference for a progressive government by electing Luis Inacio Lula da Silva, leader of the Workers Party, as their President.
By opting for a left-centre government, the Brazilians are an example of a people which has decided to affirm and assume the sovereignty conferred upon it by its democratic right to choose.
In this era of globalization, more than ever before, a victory for the people constitutes a victory for democracy itself, providing evidence as it does of the power still in the hands of peoples to determine their future.
With the hope that the Lula government will have the support of the international and the financial communities, the International Monetary Fund in particular, I extend on behalf of the Bloc Quebecois our wishes for the best of luck to the Brazilians and their government in their efforts to rebuild their country economically and socially.
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Sarkis Assadourian Brampton Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, last evening the National Gallery was the site of the Ottawa premiere of world-renowned Canadian film director Atom Egoyan's film Ararat .
The Minister of Canadian Heritage joined with Telefilm Canada in welcoming the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs, members of Parliament and the diplomatic corps to a special screening of the film.
Egoyan's film deals with the question of the recognition of the Armenian genocide and the effects of the continued denial on the ancestors of the victims of the first genocide of the 20th century.
Using the devise of a film within a film, Ararat invites the audience to witness aspects of the Armenian Genocide that the Ottoman Turks perpetrated against the Armenians commencing on April 24, 1915. Ararat calls for the recognition of the Armenian genocide as well as all other victims of crimes against humanity and leaves us with the thought that if we do not remember the mistakes of history we are doomed to repeat them.
I urge the House to act and recognize the genocide.

Maurice Vellacott Saskatoon—Wanuskewin, SK
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to applaud the outstanding efforts of one of my constituents who recently returned from working overseas for the Canadian Executive Service Organization.
Dr. Kevin Falk went to Lhasa, Tibet to advise the Agricultural Institute of Tibet on improving the breeding techniques and quality of rapeseed.
After touring facilities and meeting with section breeders, Kevin passed on to the Tibetans helpful information acquired from work done at our Saskatoon Research Centre. The success of the program for improvement of breeding techniques and quality hinges on using adapted Tibetan land varieties crossed with canola quality germplasm from the Saskatoon Research Centre. Kevin trained about 20 persons, half of whom were women.
This is the Canadian Executive Service Organization's 35th year of exemplary service. Kevin is typical of their highly skilled volunteers.
We are proud of Kevin's effort to stimulate development in disadvantaged economies, and I commend these efforts by one of my Saskatoon constituents. Congratulations to Dr. Kevin Falk.

Mr. Speaker, this past August 17, the Canadian navy's HMCS Ottawa returned from a six-month mission abroad as part of the fight against terrorism.
The ship's crew included Commander Paul Hendry and Lieutenant Sylvain Bélair. Commander Hendry hails from Arnprior, Ontario, and Lieutenant Bélair from my riding of Hull—Aylmer.
I must congratulate them on their accomplishments, ranging from intercepting and inspecting vessels in the Arabian Sea and the Persian Gulf, to seeking out contraband oil, banned goods, and al-Qaeda leaders and Taliban on the run.
Today Commander Hendry and Lieutenant Bélair are sharing their wealth of experiences with the people of the National Capital Region. They are visiting schools in particular, including Philemon Wright in Hull, in order to share their experiences in Afghanistan with the students.
We salute and thank Commander Hendry and Lieutenant Bélair.
Hopper Rail Cars

Bev Desjarlais Churchill, MB
Mr. Speaker, in the 1970s and 1980s there were not enough rail cars to haul western grain to our seaports and Canada lost sales and markets as a result.
The government of the day decided to buy a fleet of hopper cars which were then leased back to the railroads to haul that grain.
Ottawa's intention was twofold: to allow Canada to meet its export commitments and to keep transportation costs down for western farmers.
The government no longer wants the hopper cars but there is a group ready to acquire and manage the fleet. The Farmer Rail Car Coalition includes a wide array of farm and community organizations and it has a business plan ensuring that benefits will flow back to all western farmers.
These hopper cars should be turned over to the Farmer Rail Car Coalition at a nominal cost and without having the cars go up for auction. This is the way to ensure that farmers will continue to benefit from the rail cars that were originally purchased for their use.
Quebec Adult Learners Week

Monique Guay Laurentides, QC
Mr. Speaker, October 27 to November 1 has been designated Quebec Adult Learners Week, with the theme "A Thousand and One Ways to Learn".
A thousand and one ways to learn for fun, to discover new cultures, to share with others by reading, surfing the Web, getting together in a multitude of shared places that are a part of our everyday life, in every region of Quebec.
This event will bring together numerous stakeholders involved in adult education and thousands of people interested in training. There are close to one and a half million adults taking part in training activities in Quebec.
Over the years, adult education has become an indispensable tool giving those who want it a second chance in life, particularly young people who have dropped out of the system, because it does not always meet their needs.
Celebrating adult learners in all of their diversity is typical of the originality of the Quebec model.

Mr. Speaker, protecting natural vegetation along lakeshores and waterways poses a number of challenges but also provides benefits, both in the city and in the country.
The Association des riverains du lac Aylmer unveiled the Coulombe River aquatic habitat and riverbank restoration and development project on October 18.
The purpose of the project is to restore the bed and banks of the river, which was once a major spawning ground for yellow walleye. A $24,000 grant was given as part of Environment Canada's EcoAction Community Funding Program.
Congratulations to Luc Michel, Richard Chatelain and Pierre Poirier for their leadership in protecting our natural environment. They are true role models and are to be congratulated on their initiative.

CM Punk vs. John CenaPhoto courtesy: WWE
By Chad Smart
@chadsmart & @my123cents on Twitter
First off, this is not going to be about Ryback. No, this is going to be about the John Cena vs. CM Punk Battle For Wrestlemania match from the 2/25/13 episode of RAW. A match that is getting a lot of praise from wrestling fans because of its epic feel and solid action yet if examined closely reveals one of my biggest complaints with modern wrestling. To be fair, the match was good and had it happened on a pay per view, I doubt I�d felt ripped off in having paid to see it.
The biggest problem I had with the match was the number of �finishing� moves used by both competitors and how after a 30 minute match both men moved like they had just gone through pre-match stretching exercises instead of a grueling fight. I understand that in today�s wrestling scene, especially on the independent level, it�s not uncommon for wrestlers to kick out of numerous finishers to elicit a reaction from the crowd. Just because something has become the norm doesn�t mean it�s right. This new match template is also the reason why I don�t consider The Undertaker�s last four Wrestlemania matches to be as good as everyone else claims. When it takes five finishers to keep a wrestler down for a three count, I feel it makes the moves less impressive and reduces them to just another move. Back in the day when Jake Roberts hit the DDT you knew the match was over. Now the DDT is a transition move to set up the next attack.

Getting back to the Punk/Cena match, the other issue I had was the way they kicked out of every pin fall. Even after twenty minutes and numerous pin attempts, both wrestlers would kick out with force. Nothing in their actions reflected the intense battle Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler kept telling us Punk and Cena were going through. Even after Punk gave Cena a pile driver, a move banned by WWE due its dangerous nature, Cena turned his body nearly 270 degrees to kick out. If Cena wanted the audience to believe the pile driver was a legit finisher he should have barely gotten his shoulder an inch or two off the mat just before the three count.
I know this sounds like nitpicking, or typical Internet wrestling fan complaining for the sake of complaining, and I�m probably in the minority of fans who care about such things, but it�s the little things that separates mediocrity from greatness.
I don�t want to sound like I didn�t enjoy the match because I do think it will probably go down as one of the best TV matches of 2013. I just feel that the psychology of the match was missing a bit due to the over the top nature of getting to the finish. Or maybe I�m just complaining because I have zero interest in seeing Rock/Cena �Twice in a Lifetime� at Wrestlemania 29 and would have preferred either another Punk/Rock match or the Rock/Punk/Cena Triple Threat.
Was Punk/Cena a great match or did it have flaws? Where do you want to see Punk go now as the Road to Wrestlemania continues? Share your thoughts on our Facebook page.

Does anyone else on this forum find Baozhong to be just plain boring? Is that heresy?
I am a new to artisanal tea, and my palate definitely has a long way to go, but I just can't seem to get excited about this highly rated oolong. I've tried brewing it western style and eastern style, but it always just seems to come out like lightly flavored hot water to me. Am I doing something wrong, or should i just move on to a stronger oolong? Can one brew a "double-strength" baozhong?

Sleek and lustrous long hairstyle
This austere, simple hairstyle makes much of the hair color and sleekness. Long ash blonde hair is parted down the middle, with one side brought forward over the shoulder, and the other one tucked behind the opposite shoulder. The part is very neat, and the sleek straightness of the hair highlights this. The natural volume and wave are not suppressed, but allowed to show through and provide body to the hair. If a styling product must be used, a shine serum can help keep the top neat and glossy, and the locks looking lustrous.

In discussions of political issues, the American public is too often described in a binary format: Left/Right, Republican/Democrat, Red State/Blue State. But a new survey by the Pew Research Center takes a more granular look at our current political typology by sorting voters into cohesive groups based on their attitudes and values:
Partisan polarization – the vast and growing gap between Republicans and Democrats – is a defining feature of politics today. But beyond the ideological wings, which make up a minority of the public, the political landscape includes a center that is large and diverse, unified by frustration with politics and little else. As a result, both parties face formidable challenges in reaching beyond their bases to appeal to the middle of the electorate and build sustainable coalitions.
The new typology has eight groups: Steadfast Conservatives, Business Conservatives, Solid Liberals, Young Outsiders, Hard-Pressed Skeptics, Next Generation Left, Faith and Family Left, and Bystanders. (See addendum below for descriptions of each group.)
Pew Research's most recent report uses cluster analysis to sort people into these eight groups based on their responses to 23 questions covering an array of political attitudes and values. Here are a few of the interesting highlights from the report:

About Me
I'm not a poet, but love poetry. Enough so that I dedicate much of my free time to a little project called Poems-For-All where I put poems into little booklets about the size of a matchbook. My wife and I own a small used bookstore in midtown Sacramento -- one of several outposts on the local literary landscape where you can buy books by local poets and writers, attend poetry readings or just pick up the latest (free) Poems-For-All miniature chaplette.

Hedge Funds Are Buying These 4 Stocks Under $5 With Encouraging Sales Trends
Do you consider a company's sales trends when evaluating their stock? One idea is to compare their trends in revenue to their trends in accounts receivable.
Receivables are the portion of revenue not yet received, and since there is no guarantee that the money will ever be received, the smaller the portion of revenue the better. To demonstrate this, we ran a screen on small-cap stocks with market caps just above $300 million for those trading between $1-$5, considering many investors prefer to invest in a low price range.
Why this price range? While many investors enjoy a certain thrill that comes with trading penny stocks, it's a dangerous game. So to avoid the inherent dangers, we turn to the larger companies that are still offered at lower prices.
We then screened for those with positive trends in revenue relative to accounts receivable: increases in revenue outpacing increases in accounts receivable year-over-year, as well as accounts receivable comprising a smaller portion of current assets over the same time period.
Finally, we screened for those with bullish sentiment from institutional investors, with significant net institutional purchases over the last quarter representing at least 5% of share float. This indicates that institutional investors such as hedge fund managers and mutual fund managers expect these names to outperform into the future.

Amy's News
News articles related to our company and products.
Recipe for Success
Rachel and Andy Berliner were happily married and expecting their first child in 1987 when Rachel pulled a muscle in her leg. Unable to shop or prepare home-cooked dinners, she sent Andy to the local health-food store in search of frozen organic meals. All he could find was a bland lasagna.
Rachel and Andy decided to start their own line of frozen foods that would be organic and flavorful too. Talk about a family affair. Rachel's mom contributed the first recipe—a vegetable and tofu potpie—and the couple named the company for their newborn daughter, Amy. As the little girl grew, so did the business, Amy's Kitchen—along with the farms that Rachel and Andy now rely on to supply 100 million pounds of organic tomatoes, onions, and other veggies a year for 200 million lasagnas, pizzas, soups, and other meals. You can find the products anywhere from natural food stores to major chains. "I love that Target carries them," says Rachel. "Part of my mission is to make organic food affordable." And little Amy? Now 23 and a newly minted Stanford grad, she works in the company's small UK branch. And there's a second generation of customers too. "I grew up on Amy's," moms write to Rachel. "Now I feed Amy's to my own kids."

The United Arab Emirates is one of the countries with the largest deficits between "income" in the form of biocapacity and "expenses" of resources, Razan Al Mubarak, Director, Emirates Wildlife Society, told attendees. In 2007, the country adopted a national Ecological Footprint Initiative to address that gap.
In the latter 20th century, the UAE enjoyed explosive economic growth, largely due to the production of oil and gas, and that wealth has helped support some of the largest per-capita resource consumption in the world. On the other hand, the country has very low biocapacity, and must import most of its resources from abroad. When UAE leaders learned the country topped the world in per-capita Ecological Footprint, they were at first skeptical of the data, Mubarak said. But with support from local NGOs advancing the Footprint Initiative, "there became increasing understanding of and support for the data. From there, there became fantastic momentum toward, 'what are we going to do about it?'
"The more you get into the Footprint, the more doors and avenues open," Mubarak said. "There are 6,000 data points that go into this indicator. How do we take this momentum and try to really advance it on a policy level? In my country, water and electricity are the key pressure areas. Demand is exceeding supply." Masdar Institute, a research institute dedicated to green innovation, has gotten behind the initiative. With support from Global Footprint Network researchers, it is looking into how various policy interventions could change the Footprint of the country's energy sector.

text: March Brown Parachute Dry Fly The March Brown Parachute is a dry fly similar to the March Brown dry we sell except it is tied Parachute style. The hackle is wound around a post perpendicular to the water. This allows the fly to float lower in the waters surface film. Additionally, the angler can see the white post while fishing. Seeing your dry fly is essential to success.The March Brown hatches in the early Spring and that time depends on where you are fishing. In the Smoky Mountains that usually means March or maybe April. Further north that may happen later. These mayflies may also hatch later in the higher elevation mountain streams. Water temperature drives the mating time of the March Brown.You may find March Browns hatching at the same time as other early Spring mayflies such as the Quill Gordon or Blue Quill. Most often the March Browns begin to appear after the first sightings of those mayflies. One should always be ready for a March Brown hatch during the early Spring.FREE GROUND SHIPPING IN THE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATESLittle River Outfitters is a fly shop and mail order company located in Townsend, Tennessee, a gateway to Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
