Allied Partners Stay Committed To Cotton
Earlier this fall, I had the opportunity to attend Bayer CropScience's global press conference in Monheim, Germany. This is a yearly event where the company reviews the previous season, discusses its portfolio of products being commercially released while also making a projection on next year's business outlook.
It's a rare chance to view how a global company operates and views its involvement in agriculture. After sitting through the press conference and observing how Bayer's top leadership answered questions from nearly 100 ag journalists in attendance, and after going on several tours of the company's expansive research facilities, a couple of facts became quite clear.
Chemical and seed companies remain committed to cotton – no matter how difficult the current economic environment. If U.S. cotton producers can find any shred of positive news during this wet and rainy harvest season, it's this statement. Bayer and the rest of the companies who sell crop protection products and seed varieties to U.S. farmers haven't scaled back their commitment to the industry. In fact, the opposite trend is what really exists at the moment.
Some of the most groundbreaking developments are on the horizon. Several years ago, phrases such as "drought-tolerant," "herbicide-tolerant" and "double insect-resistant stack" seemed almost futuristic as if it would be impossible to see such scientific research delivered anytime soon. True, the industry has been on a fast track since the introduction of Bt cotton in 1996. But anyone who thought the pipeline had suddenly become empty...well, those skeptics were slightly misinformed.
Historic germplasm traits are about to become reality, and it's all because of the steadfast commitment of the industry's allied partners. Even with the challenge of a global recession and reduced cotton acres in the United States for the past two years, the level of support from these companies has remained remarkably consistent.
Why? Because cotton is one of the most important crops produced in the world, and its residual impact on the United States economy is significant. Most economists are forecasting an increase in U.S. cotton acreage in 2010, and this is occurring just as the global recession thankfully is coming to an end.
No matter what part of cotton production is examined, we can find allied companies continuing to be an important partner with the producer. They have been there in both the good and bad times.
For that reason, you'd have to say that the support for cotton has never been stronger.

Adjunct Lorn was the Adjunct to Empress Laseen until 1161 Burn's Sleep. She was described as lithe, with long auburn hair. Her residence was in Unta in the West Tower of the Imperial palace.
She was originally from Malaz City.
In Gardens of the Moon Edit
She was assigned to investigate the massacre at Itko Kan, where she recruited Ganoes Paran into her service. A few years later, she was given the task of freeing the Jaghut Tyrant Raest from his imprisonment with the help of the T'lan Imass, Onos T'oolan, whom she nicknamed "Tool". This took her all the way to Darujhistan.
After succeeding in freeing the Tyrant, she buried Raest's finnest in the garden of the Simtal/Coll Estate and set off in pursuit of the Coin Bearer. On her way, she released a soletaken demon Lord of Galayn on the city.
As she made her move to kill the Coin Bearer, she was intercepted and engaged in combat by Corporal Blues of the Crimson Guard. Though she managed to break off the fight and escape, she was gravely wounded. Just as she thought she was safe, she encountered Meese and Irilta, who had been sent after her by the Eel. She was then found by Paran and died in his arms.

Couple plan to brighten up Evelyn StreetBy Gordon Dritschilo
STaff writer | July 11,2013Albert J. Marro / Staff Photo
The downtown Rutland building comprising 9-13 Evelyn St. has been purchased and is undergoing a new look.Evelyn Street is about to get more colorful.
Shawn and Jamie Pemrick have bought the building at 9-13 Evelyn St., the main structure on the block, and are in the middle of renovating with plans of filling the mostly vacant spaces.
They are also giving it a bright paint job described by the Downtown Rutland Partnership as a throwback to what might have been seen in San Franciscos Haight-Ashbury section.
The Pemricks plan three apartments, space for Shawn Pemricks photography studio and some sort of retail operation. Jamie Pemrick said she will not move her Trace of Lace bridal boutique from North Main Street to the site.
Weve already moved it once and were not doing that again, she said. Were happy with what weve got for that.
The smoke and tattoo shops already in the building will remain put, Pemrick said, and a number of people have looked at the empty storefront that previously housed Chasers bar.
Were looking for more like a restaurant-bistro, baker-type, she said. Were doing a lot of our own marketing.
Pemrick said the building, which has 2,300 square feet available for rental, sold for $135,000. She said they were originally looking to rent space in it for her husbands photo studio, but the price was right to buy.
We got it for a steal, she said. We want to revive downtown. ... For us, its a price thing. Were always looking for something we can fix up, but at a good price.
Michael Coppinger, DRP executive director, said the top level of the building had been used as storage for at least a decade and that the main storefront had been vacant for at least a year and a half.
Pemrick said the color scheme was drawn from a nearby mural.
We wanted to draw positive attention to the building and possibly make it a landmark, maybe draw people to it who want to take pictures, Pemrick said.
The color scheme won approval Wednesday morning from the Architectural Review Board, which is charged with maintaining the historical character of downtown buildings.
The Architectural Review Committee really took into consideration that its a wood structure thats not in the continuous downtown, like Center Street, but a standalone building, Coppinger said, adding that the Pemricks were also restoring some historical aspects of the facade.
I think if it were the Richardson building, next to the Paramount, it would be a different situation,he said. You kind of have a funky-looking neighborhood unto itself over there.

President Obama spends part of his Labor Day in top level meetings on the growing crisis in Syria. The president and his aides are trying to convince lawmakers on Capitol Hill that a military strike is the right choice. ABC's, Tahman Bradley has more.
The White House is hard at work this Labor Day trying to convince members of Congress to back a military strike in Syria. Today, President Obama tries to win support from Sen. John McCain....meeting with his old 2008 rival at the White House.
"The consequences of the Congress of the United States overriding a decision of the President of the United States of this magnitude are really very,
very serious," said Sen. John McCain, (R) Arizona.
More than 70 members of Congress - some still dressed for summer vacation - attended a private briefing on Syria by the President's national security
team. But several lawmakers told ABC News, if the vote was taken today, they believe it would fail.
"I would not for for it today," said Rep. Janice Hahn, (D) California
"In my mind, it's far from settled. it's not something that should be taken lightly," said Rep. Mike Burgess, (R) Texas
The President's national security team is providing new physical evidence against the Syrian regime.
"From first responders in East Damascus, we have signatures of sarin in their hair and blood samples," said John Kerry, Secretary of State.

Safe Places To Park Your Cash
Brahamjit is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Dollar store channel was one of the few bright spots in retail during the recession. Dollar stores became an instant hit among Americans burdened with debt, underwater mortgages, and decimated retirement savings. Interestingly, contrary to the notion that dollar stores will have a reversal of fortune once the economy improves, they are still enjoying strong consumer demand. As a result, the shares of major dollar stores, including Dollar General (NYSE: DG), Dollar Tree (NASDAQ: DLTR), and Family Dollar (NYSE: FDO), have soared nearly twofold over the last 3 years.
In my opinion, one of the key outcomes of the recession is the increased consumer tendency to shrink their overall spending and attain some sort of predictability in uncertain times by hunting aggressively for bargains. Although we tend to think of dollar stores as popular among low and mid income households, post recession even the wealthier sections are viewing dollar stores as the smart choice for their basic needs. All of this explains the continued success of dollar stores post recession. Dollar General, Dollar Tree and Family Dollar combined have a notable 1.5% share of the retail market today, as compared to just 0.5% in 2000, and I remain optimistic about the success of dollar stores going forward, as the combination of value and convenience provided by the dollar stores remains a highly compelling proposition for U.S. Here's a look at these stocks in detail.
Dollar General is the industry leader with more than 10,000 stores in the U.S. The company still has significant unit growth opportunities, and management is confident that a 7% annual unit growth rate is sustainable. I see huge scope for unit growth in California, where the company still has a very limited presence with a total unit base of just over 50. The management has done a tremendous job in terms of merchandise assortment, store environment, and store standardization over the last five years, resulting in an increased appeal to customers. The company is trading at a forward PE of 13.17 and looks attractively priced with a PEG ratio of just 0.87.
Family Dollar operates over 7,500 locations nationwide. The retailer is aggressively expanding its store count and opened 475 stores and renovated, expanded, or relocated 854 stores during fiscal 2012. Family Dollar is also projected to grow its unit count by 7% annually over the next 3-5 years. Through fiscal 2013, the company has plans to renovate, expand, or relocate 850 stores and is expected to cross the 8,000 mark by the year end. I like the company's strategy of keeping the up-keep and renovation costs to a minimum so that they have an option of relocating the store as the leases expire. Although the company missed the EPS forecast in its recent quarter, I am not overly bothered, as the company posted a strong same store sales growth of 6.6% with a phenomenal 18.5% growth in consumables category, which shows the strength of the company's fundamental business. An annual dividend yield of 1.5% is an added bonus.
Dollar Tree operates more than 4,600 discount variety stores in 48 US states and 5 Canadian Provinces. The company has been a consistent performer over the last decade and has managed to increase its EPS every year over the past 10 years. Dollar Tree has the "best-in-class" operating and profit margins in the dollar store sector. Moreover, the proposed $104 million distribution center in Windsor will facilitate better supply management and further boost margins. The company has been aggressively repurchasing its shares, resulting in a 32% reduction in share count. I expect this trend to continue as the company has a very low debt (totally debt of ~$260 million, debt/equity of just 0.17) and no preferred shares. The stock is trading at a discount to its historical average and seems attractively priced with a PEG ratio of just 0.88.
To conclude, dollar stores are a growing force in the retail industry. All these companies exhibit recession proof characteristic and seem to be blossoming post recession due to an apparent shift in shopping habits. These retailers have a strong unit growth potential over a long run and their efforts towards enhancing the in-store experience should further attract more customers. In my opinion, dollar stores are here to stay and expand, and I see good long term investment opportunities in these stocks.

Why retailers are no longer freaked out about 'showrooming'
Retailers aren't as scared of online shoppers as they were a year ago, thanks to revamped price-match policies and other improvements.
Not so long ago, the sight of a customer scanning a barcode with his phone might have spooked retail executives. Now? Not so much.
"A year ago, people said that showrooming would kill Best Buy," CEO Hubert Joly told The Wall Street Journal. "I think that Best Buy has killed showrooming."
Nobody's killed anybody, but there has been an interesting reversal. Showrooming is when people browse a brick-and-mortar store for stuff they want, then go buy it online — from somebody else — for less. As the practice became more common, analysts and investors worried that online shopping was killing retail. It was certainly killing Best Buy's stock, the WSJ says.
Last year, before Joly took over as CEO, "its shares [were] plunging toward single digits," the paper says. But at the start of this month, the stock was trading near $43. And now Best Buy is running ads celebrating its showroom status.
"Best Buy executives are embracing the term with swagger, saying they have put in place strategies from price matching to customer-service improvements that will convert more shoppers into buyers," the WSJ says.
Maybe we're reaching an equilibrium between the brick-and-mortar and digital stores. Walmart and Target both claim to benefit from showrooming, too — that customers browse around online and then buy in-store from them.
Still, the WSJ says, the long-term trend is shifting toward online shopping. And when we get to where there are drive-through grocery stores and we can feel products through a touchscreen, retailers will probably need to do more than price match with a smile.
Do you prefer shopping online or in stores? Comment below.
Interesting thoughts on showrooming, brick and mortar retailers need to innovate and match their prices with online stores to have any chance of survival in the near future. With online retail taking over the retail space competitive pricing along with a customer focused approach is the only way for traditional retailers. I work for McGladrey and there's a whitepaper on the website that readers of this article will be interested in, it offers great advice for retailers on how they can increase retail sales and stay ahead of the curve.@ "Thinking about tomorrow: Post recession strategies for retailers"@ http://bit.ly/18Skei5

The mason mixed a rich, thick mortar of one part cement to two
parts sand, plus an acrylic fortifier. Because of the uneven
thickness of the slabs, he worked one stone at a time, leveling
from our reference marks and from adjacent stones (Figure 6).
He used a pointing trowel called a slicker to press the mortar
down tight between stones and to remove any excess mortar. We
finished this stage by sponging the stones clean
6. The mason was responsible for cutting in
around passages and other obstructions (left). Because
the stone was of varying thickness, each piece had to
be carefully leveled in reference to the finish floor
height (right).
We waited several days before sealing the stone, and as it
fully dried, we could see that quite a bit of cement residue
and dirt remained on the stones. In the meantime, we researched
and tested various sealants and finally settled on a
solvent-based sealer with a color-enhancing matte-finish top
coat (Figure 7). We used two coats of Miracle Sealants' 511
Porous Plus (800/350-1901; ) and one coat of their Mira Matte.
Before sealing, we also used their recommended cleaner, Grout
and Concrete Film Remover, to clean the stone, which we had to
do twice.
7. After cleaning the stone with a proprietary
cleaner, workers applied two coats of solvent-based
sealer and one top coat to finish the job.
After cleaning, we waited two days and then applied the
first coat of sealant. That was a bit tricky because the
sealant has the consistency of paint thinner, and since the
stones were not yet grouted for the first coat, we had to keep
the sealer from running onto the edges of the stone. We used
foam paintbrushes and painted the floor stone by stone, wiping
up excess sealer after ten minutes of drying time. This was a
slow process and required patience on the part of my crew, as
well as good ventilation, rubber gloves, eye protection, and
The following day, the mason grouted the stone, carefully
squeezing the grout into place from a grout bag and using the
slicker to tool the joint. After sponge cleaning, we waited
another day before sealing both the stone and the grout. We let
everything dry overnight and then applied the Mira Matte finish
coat, which brought out the color of the stone without making
it shiny.
The finished floor was beautiful, but we still had all the
wall finishes and trim to install. To protect the floors, we
rolled out kraft paper, then put down a layer of 1/2-inch
drywall. This makes a wonderful protective cover because it
absorbs bumps and dings, has enough mass to stay in place, and
can be swept off.
The cost of the 460-square-foot floor came out around $30 per
square foot, not including supervision, broken down as
8 tons of stone plus delivery, $4,225; 500 pounds of grout,
$170; cleaner, sealer, and finish, $445; labor for sorting and
cutting, 132 hours; dry-fitting, cleaning, sealing, 56 hours;
mason's setting labor, $5,000.

Sample Report
Though Sam Francis developed paintings of monumental scale with all-over patterns of monochrome color just a few years after the initial triumph of the Abstract-Expressionists, he did so in Paris. During his eight years there, he evolved as one of the most masterful painters of the 20th century, but being away from New York undermined the critical reception for his work. In the years since, the writing and scholarship has rarely measured up to his stature. That begins to change with the recent University of California Press publication of Sam Francis: Catalogue Raisonné of Canvas and Panel Paintings, 1946-1994.

If you have a Blog, please follow me! I update my blog with more finalized work!
School School and School! Updates are very sporadic Sorry! Will be trying to correct this soon!.
Older things-
Edited the first post to Remove my older work and updated the Thumbnail. You can still see some of my older work from the post below this one and my progression!

Doodle for Today...
Why do all my People Look so Asian? Dx
Hey there, I see that there are some anatomical mistakes I'd suggest doing more pencil studies.
Good luck
Thanks for the advice I've been doing a lot of pencil sketches and studies, But my scanner is on the Fritz.... Maybe tomorrow I'll be able to scan some of my pencil work :]
The first is an observation, Not completely finished but I doubt I'll go back to it xD
The second is what I remember from my Imagination, mostly to see what I need to work on
Sorry for the crappy scans Dx
Hmm.. anatomical indeed but let me add..Search for books from bridge field, andrew loomis and other anatomy books. Draw a few people waiting or sitting down in the park. Look and draw what you see.
Never forget though... With one step taken, even a journey of a thousend miles doesn't seem as long. So keep walking!!

It's been difficult for me to work on Anatomy mostly because I can't afford books and my school is quite strict on studies like the nude form. However I do try in my spare time to practice >w<
Photoshop Practice. Based off of a stock photo.... WIP currently, I am working on it though :3
gotta love those sketches! you did a great job representing shadow, form, and measurement. In love with the woman's face via pencil and the gold fish sketch!
Just draw your ass off. Whatever you do, don't -- stop -- drawing...
looks like your off to a pretty good start. Anyway I saw a few things you could improve on and I did a few quick paint overs, hope you dont mind.
Some of the noses you have drawn are a little flat, be careful to project the nose out of the face. The nose projects out along a axis perpendicular or normal to the front facial plane(see notes). you also have to make sure your drawings are not flat by overlapping forms more, especially when your drawing is foreshortened.
Look through the high rated mentor threads and the tutorial stickies, keep at it.

My Sketchbook
The Sketch overs were quite useful!
Here's another Small update since I just finished Exams and now have more time to draw :]
Just a doodle of a Little Sister, Since I Adore Big Daddies/Little Sisters. Mostly trying to work on texture.
Today I was hit by some inspiration, and decided I needed to work on more Dynamic Posing as well as blocking in color/Coloring in general. I tried, this was done without a reference photo, basically Imagination stuff. I have a lot more work, but I can't upload most of it yet (Since it's on the school computer!)
Pushed it a little further, Decided to block in a background setting and add in ambient light, as well as Fix the neck x.x;
Winter Sketches done of some of my friends I know I've been neglecting this thing a TON but I feel like I've improved a lot since I first started here at Ringling C:

A long overdue update- School takes up so much time I barely have time for the internet anymore!
Sorry it's such a small Update, but I don't think you guys would be really interested in Final illustrations and paintings ;P
Wow XxMikaruxX you really have improved. Your last two posts show a lot of good tonal work and the anatomy is really coming along. Do you always work in digital or do some of these start off as pencil sketches. Would be great to see some more of your working drawings.
nice sketch, and of corse I am interested in final paintings, especialy if there are naked girls...

Thanks! This is also over the course of two years, but I feel like I have come a long way! I don't always work in digital, but as I don't have a quality scanner on hand all the time it is easier for me to post my digital work (Since the files are already here!) But I will get around to scanning some of my Thumbnailing and ideation sketches I suppose.
Me and a few friends from school have a few summer prompts to keep us busy and inspired! This weeks was "Alice in Zombieland" I decided to make the "White Rabbit" as a survivor
Sorry for all of the Digital Updates, I've been doing a lot of Animal and Anatomical studies in my Sketchbook but I don't have access to a scanner >.< Here's a self portrait Study, Done within two or so hours.
Hey guys! Been a while. Dumping quite a few things! First I'll start off with an old environment illustration I did last year (2011!) Figured I had a lot of figurative things so wanted to break up the monotony!
Here are some painting studies from figure class, most of these were done in the 3-6 hour range.
Next I have some logo work, I was trying to come up with an interesting artist icon to include on newer illustrations
Some silhouette practices. I've never used this method before but it was fun! The WIP is the newer one, I've just been so busy I haven't had the time to finish sadly!
And last but not least I have for you guys a billboard illustration. This particular illustration was done for a product called Pumpkinhead Rum
Enjoy the massive art dump guys! As always crits and suggestions are always welcome!
Last edited by XxMikaruxX; October 25th, 2012 at 10:53 AM. Reason: Placing Butcher Process in Seperate post...
Here we have my character concept from computer illustration! At first he started out as a serial killer, but I quickly scrapped that idea and instead thought of him to be a "Demon in disguise", killing humans at his butcher shop and selling their flesh off to other demons.
I was pretty unhappy with the way the original turned out, so I did some more brainstorming...
Happier with this resolution of him, I'm taking this version and creating an environment for him to be in. These are roughs of course. The first was my original sketch, and the messier second sketch is me messing with composition to make it more interesting an intriguing. I have a lot of work in regard to color and value now but I wanted to make sure I had a rocking composition!
Here's a WIP of a Mass Effect 3 Piece I am working on. The project was a book cover, so I chose the Game guide to mass effect 3 ;P
Dude i love those compositions. The perspective looks accurate. keep up the good work
Nice start so far... i really like the portraits on post #23, keep posting, i'll keep an eye
SKETCHBOOK l TUMBLR l BEHANCE
Here's the Final of the Mass Effect 3 Game Guide I did as an assignment. Learned a lot, and this was a super ambitious undertaking. I'm not too terribly good at environments and there are some issues with Garrus (From a poor Reference image I shot) but time to move on and work even harder on my next assignment
Re-imagining of Aztec God Quetzalcoatl.
WIP of a Sequential Illustration based on an Aesop Tale. I chose to do my own interpretation than follow the story, Essentially it's "A Wolf in Sheeps Clothing"

Roland Dierauf
Roland Dierauf was the pseudonym for a 19th century London art collector. At one time he owned the world's finest collection of porcelain gnomes. In 1912, approaching old age and increasingly eccentric, he left London abruptly to travel to Mexico, where he hoped to join the Revolution. He was never seen or heard from again.
In recent years, a persistent myth has sprung up, claiming that Roland Dierauf is still alive, living now in the mountains of North Carolina and working at an odd little radio station that sometimes hires people like him. According to the myth, he now looks much like the porcelain gnomes he once collected.

A reader recently asked us if she needed Windows Defender, antispyware software from Microsoft that comes with Windows Vista and Windows 7, if she had downloaded Microsoft Security Essentials (free antivirus and antispyware software).
If you use Microsoft Security Essentials, you don't need Windows Defender. When you download Microsoft Security Essentials, it will turn off (but not uninstall) Windows Defender automatically. It does this so that you don't have two programs on your computer that are doing the same thing. If you ever decided to uninstall Microsoft Security Essentials, Windows Defender will be turned back on again.
For more information, see:
That was a clear answer to my question!
very helpful indeed, it has put my mind at rest as a few people have told me that i should have more security
My Windows Defender kept crashing...so I uninstalled it (from my Windows 7 system). I tried to reinstall it, but microsoft insisted that it was still on my system (even though my system itself told me it was gone). So now, if I ever try to do without Microsoft Security Essentials, I cannot turn Windows Defender back on. -- even though the Windows 7 shows that it is still there -- until I try to turn it on. When I do try, of course, it says "Windows Defender does not exist as an installed service." I tried Microsoft support to get help gettin it back, but tech support could not help me get it back.

New Lavin speaker and TED Senior Fellow Jessica Green is showing us the amazing and important role microbes play in our everyday lives—in our bodies, our forests, and even our buildings—and she's doing it in visually stunning ways.
Neil Pasricha can add another "awesome" thing to his Book of Awesome: having his TEDx talk ranked among the top 20 most popular of all time. His feel-good talk, called The Three A's of Awesome, comes in at number 11 on the list with a whopping 1,455,980 views. Pasricha is in good company, with the likes Jane Fonda and popular human interactions specialist Brené Brown rounding out the list.Using his trademark compilations of everyday things that bring extraordinary joy (like hitting a string of green lights in a row or having a blanket thrown on you before you fall asleep), Pasricha speaks to the importance of small pleasures in our often overwhelming world. We can use these happy, little events to live our lives to the fullest, says Pasricha—but only if we stop to savour them. Drawing from his massively popular blog, 1000 Awesome Things (which has been featured in media outlets such as CNN and The New Yorker) andhis international bestselling book, The Book of Awesome, he delivers heartwarming keynotes on how to change your perspective on life. Further, he helps people in all industries and walks of life bring awesome principles to their day-to-day life, helping audiences embrace the awesome both at work and at home.
TED Fellow Hakeem Oluseyi has dedicated his life to teaching science to those in underserved communities and developing countries. From his formative years in some of the poorest ghettos in the American south, to his current position as a member of a Nobel Prize-winning team of scientists at Stanford, Oluseyi is a testament to the transformative power of knowledge, and a master at turning complex ideas into simple explanations. In this video, he likens the evidence that supports the Big Bang to the stretching of a rubber band.
"Why [aren't] we asking students to do more than learn about the problem? They need to be part of designing the solutions," says TED Fellow Juliette LaMontagne in her TEDx talk. With her interdisciplinary education program Project Breaker, LaMontagne is redefining education, creating entrepreneurs, and designing change.
"When people say, 'I don't get art. I don't get it all,' that means art is working," says John Maeda, design speaker and President of the Rhode Island School of Design in his latest TED Talk. "Art is supposed to be enigmatic…art is about asking questions — questions that might not be answerable."
Susan Cain's TED Talk has now reached an amazing 3 million views. If you haven't seen the Quiet author's talk yet, do yourself a favor and take the 20 minutes.
As the election race heats up, it's important to step away from the toxic rhetoric and take a sober, objective look at what really makes politics tick. Jonathan Haidt, moral psychologist and one of Lavin's best political speakers, takes a fascinating and fresh look at how morality drives politics.
You know when someone else has profoundly changed your life—but they might not even realize it? That's what Drew Dudley is talking about in his keynote, Everyday Leadership. The short talk went live at TED.com a few days ago & is already at 145,000 views.
Respected worldwide, Euvin Naidoo is a star in the field of global economics, and an expert on emerging markets. In this fabulous TED Talk, Naidoo manages to upend everything you've ever thought about Africa — all in 18 minutes.

Woods Named to All Cascade Collegiate Conference Team, Newcomer of the Year
March 1, 2010
OLYMPIA, Wash. - Evergreen's Latrina Woods recieved All-Conference honors this weekend, as the CCC released the names of those student athletes who have been named to the All-Cascade Collegiate Conference Team. Woods, a junior from Skyway, WA, also recieved the Award for All-Cascade Collegiate Conference Team Newcomer of the Year.
In addition to these honors Woods also recieved recognition as the Cascade Conference Player of the Week Award in late January of this year.
"She's one of the smoothest and most unselfish players I've ever coached," said Evergreen Coach Monica Heuer in a recent article in the local newspaper, The Olympian. "There's no one who can stop her one-on-one," Heuer said. "She's able to squeeze by defenders. Defensively, she wants to go after the best. There's nothing I can say bad about her. This is a kid any coach would want on their team."
Latrina has been a valuable asset to the Geoduck this year. Despite time away from the game taken last year, she has returned to the court with mastery few can replicate, and many envy.
Although she has consistently been the high scorer for Evergree, Woods leaves her ego at home. "She has a whole lot of humility," Heuer said. "She's always more concerned about her teammates. She's a great person, a great player."
Evergreen fans, students, staff, faculty, and coaches all are eagerly awaiting the Lady Geoducks return to the court next year, and all will have their eye on Woods.

About Us
Third Way represents Americans in the "vital center" — those who believe in pragmatic solutions and principled compromise, but who too often are ignored in Washington.
Our mission is to advance moderate policy and political ideas. Our agenda includes: a series of grand economic bargains, a new approach to the climate crisis, progress on social issues like immigration reform, marriage for gay couples, tighter gun safety laws, and a credible alternative to neoconservative security policy.
Unlike traditional think tanks, we do not house scholars who work in silos on academic research. Instead, we are built around policy teams that create high-impact written products and innovative trainings to influence today's debates.
Our ideas have been used by the President, members of Congress, governors, mayors and countless political candidates. Based on our record, the media has labeled us "the future of think tanks," "incorrigible pragmatists," "radical centrists," and the "best source for new ideas in public policy."

KALAMAZOO -- The National Transportation Safety Board will issue its preliminary report on Tuesday's crash at Kalamazoo Battle Creek international this weekend.
Investigator John Brannen says they have pulled out the engine that several witnesses said was sputtering and smoking before the plane crashed. He says while they did not initially find any problems with the engine, he says they will take it back to the factory and jointly tear it down with Beechcraft mechanics. He says they have not settled on the cause.
He says it usually takes them as much as 6 months to get all the tests done and issue their final report.
60 year old James Wilton of Ontario died in Tuesday's crash.
