This was our first year to participate in this inspiring and important event that brings together the most innovative and amazing people and businesses in the Los Angeles area under one roof. We felt welcomed and supported in every way possible from the organizers, volunteers, vendors and customers. We are truly grateful and honored to be part of such an event and hope to be back next year! It is enlightening to be part of the global community of sustainability and Green Festivals has been and continues to be the glue that brings us all together. - Annie Goeke, Earth Rights Institute
"Thank you to all the folks who put on the DC GreenFestival in 2014. We had fun, met loads of cool people, all doing different kinds of great green things. What a wonderful opportunity for businesses as well as anyone wanting to connect with sustainable businesses and products." – Prior Unity Garden
"As a pre-revenue garage startup without a shipping product, we weighed the investment required to attend Green Festivals versus market research and advertising costs. Attending seven Green Festivals over two years during our product development cycle has transformed our strategy and influenced product development. Even without shipping product, we have attracted almost 1000 Facebook Likes and several hundred mailing list names. From a brand management perspective, Solar Greens Company has found a great partner with Green Festivals to launch My Terrace Farmer and our crowdfunding campaign. The staff has been responsive and supporting, treating our tiny company like family by introducing us to valuable media contacts." – Solar Greens Company
The Green Festival is an absolute must for any business serious about growing in a smart and sustainable way. There is no better event to get an edge on competitors by doing the right thing. Its our favorite business event of the year and we absolutely recommend everyone to go. - Brian MacMahon, Pay it Forward Labs
The event was great! I thoroughly enjoyed networking and interacting with like-minded entrepreneurs trying to challenge the status quo of their industry. It's very motivating.

Your team was very professional and I was impressed about the amount of care you provided to make this event a success

"Green Festival was a fantastic venue to debut the SunFriend, the wearable UV/Sun monitor that keeps you safer in the sun without chemicals and helps you optimize your vitamin D levels naturally! Being able to tell when you have enough sun for the day resonated with the "green" crowd." – UVA+B SunFriend
"This year's DC Green Festival was the best one yet. I had the opportunity to learn about all kinds of new and innovative eco-friendly products, try fabulous food samples, and hear from great speakers. I especially appreciate the way that the Green Festival supports the local community and non-profits with its Community Award. Can't wait for next year!" – Sacha Cohen, President, Grassfed Media
"This was our First Green Festival and needless to say, we will be back next year! The show was amazing, the vendors top notch and we are continuing to get orders from companies and individuals who attended. This is the most important Festival a Green Company should attend." – Violets are Blue
"We love coming to Green Festival and find it a perfect venue to get the word out on our vegan adventure tours in Asia. Not only do we get a chance to meet many attendees who are interested in a green lifestyle and who may not have heard about our company before, but we also get to meet fellow exhibitors who we share a common goal and social interests with. We look forward to exhibiting at many more Green Festivals for years to come." – Vegan Adventure Tours
"We were truly blessed to be a part of Green Festival in Chicago this year! The event allowed us to spread the word about domestic rabbits, their care and educating the public in a way that we never could. The event also gave us a chance to give our organization exposure in a way that was unimaginable before! We met people from all over, some that never have never seen a rabbit in real life before, and others that shared fond memories of their companion bunnies. Because of Green Festival, we have given people the chance to see hands on what a joy a rabbit can bring. Some people were even interested in adopting a rabbit as a companion animal! We can't thank the wonderful people at Green Festival enough, this was by far the greatest event we have had the honor of being a part of! " – Brian Duda, President of The Sweet Bunny Project
"Participating at the Green Festival NYC for two years in a row helped our Social Enterprise: KENZA International Beauty, providing Organic Moroccan Oils, get recognized not only by the Organic beauty industry but also by the growing number of green beauty customers. We hope to grow enough to be able to participate in all the Green Festivals: Washington, Chicago, and Los Angeles." – KENZA International Beauty
"I'm honored to present my hemp documentary film BRINGING IT HOME at Green Festivals around the U.S. It's an incredible sustainability event bringing together diverse attendees, interesting speakers and environmental conscious healthy products to create positive energy and awareness!" – Linda Booker, Director of "Bringing it Home" Documentary and Green Festival Presenter
"Our sustainable candle company was only 4 months old when we first exhibited with Green Festivals in LA. We were approached by ecoconscious consumers, other exhibitors and wholesalers and almost sold out of everything we made! Green Festivals allowed us to build quality connections and gain exposure that would not have been possible otherwise." – Justin Puda & Jessica Waters (Founders Earthlite)
"We are so happy to be part of Green Festivals; an event that brings so many environmentally conscious people and forward thinkers together in the same place. Each festival gets better and better; and we love the opportunity to network and be part of a great event." – Nubian Heritage
"I absolutely loved being a volunteer speaker at one of the largest and longest-running sustainable green events in the world. It was truly an honor to partake in, and witness a unique assembly of large and small companies, organizations and groups committed to provide green solutions that benefit the people and the planet." – Holistic Coach Collette Gee
"This is our first year joining Green Festival and the response was overwhelming. It's great to be surrounded by companies that have similar green goals.

"Exhibiting at a marketplace of kindred minds while working alongside of great people makes the effort to be [at Green Festival] worthwhile. I wish it could go on for a week." – Melissa Kenney, NYR Organic Independent Consultant
"We THANK YOU and your entire team for doing so much to make another spectacular GF in DC! We're so glad to see how the event brings to the DC area and also how much attention and attendance you are receiving from the local area. The Vegetarian Society of DC is especially glad that there is such a strong connection to diet by having all the food vendors offer meat-free food, particularly vegan food and so many pro-vegan companies. As we all know, our society's use of animals for food devastates the planet in such overwhelming, staggering, and unimaginable ways - mostly unknown by the vast majority of the population. THANKS again for working so hard and having such a successful event. VSDC looks forward to continuing the partnership we've established since year 1 in DC." With very best wishes - Saurabh for VSDC
"The 2014 Green festival allowed my family to have a weekend of learning about living and eating healthy. Not just that. To be inspired while doing it. Of course, there were over 50 speakers that I would have liked to be hearing from again and again while sampling on healthy snacks. What I really liked were the enormous bean bags where children could rest while listening to cartoons and age-appropriate speakers about how to have fun and live a balanced life. My family was raving about it too. So will you too, if you will be attending the 2015 Green Festival in Washington DC in June. Did I tell you that one of my coworkers volunterreed for the event and got the scenes too. Lucky her." – Dr. A Monica Dorhoi, Risk Specialist working on financing sustainability environmental and energy projects around the world.
"It was great to be a part of the NYC and Washington DC Green Festivals! We made a lot of good contacts and thoroughly enjoyed the event. The organizers did a super job and the traffic flow was wonderful!" – Three Bluebirds
"Our long standing relationship with Green Festival proves to be successful year after year. Green Festival allows us to get in front of sustainably conscious consumers who are anxious to hear about our products, meet our people and learn about the steps Clif Bar and Company takes to better our planet." – Marcie Winkler (Marketing Manager, Clif Bar)
I'd like to thank Green Festivals for providing us a platform to share our dream of forming creative and informed leaders in the sustainable development movement, The opportunity to connect with hundreds of current and potential leaders from all ages and walks of life was everything we dreamed of. Over the three day festival we had almost 200 people come to our table to sign up for our free online course. Our panel discussion presented an opportunity to share our vision with potential partners and clients, and has led to exciting new opportunities for collaboration. Another incredibly useful aspect were the free advisory sessions with dozens of experienced specialists representing different business areas such as marketing and fundraising. As we get this project off the ground, their advice and critique of our model and strategies have proven to be invaluable. We look forward to collaborating with the Green Festival in the future, and are excited about the role this visionary event can play in the continued growth of our program, and in the development of sustainable development leaders for generations to come. - Zachary Towne-Smith, Earth Rights Institute
"We were so happy to showcase DF Mavens and introduce our dairy free, vegan ice cream to over 15,000 health conscious fans and let them experience a healthy alternative to dairy. We are looking forward to next year's event!" – DF Mavens
Green Fest is the best. We met so many amazing people. We're so excited about our opportunities for growth we have now because of the conversations we had during Green Fest – Adam Zmick, Executive Director - Gardeneers
The Green Festival is the only conference that the team here at Expert DOJO won't miss every year. Not only is it a wonderful conference with high attendance and great quality attendees but we feel like we are part of real positive change in the world and you can't put a price on that. I would recommend any business thinking of exhibiting to just go ahead and reserve their spot. Like us they won't regret it. Brian Mac Mahon, Chief Community Officer, Expert DOJO
"Green Festival New York was an amazing experience. The positive vibe from the public was overwhelming, and the selection of colleagues made staying at our booth difficult - we wanted to visit everybody! The staff is amazing, and they were super helpful from pre-launch to pack-out, and we are delighted to be able to continue our relationship with The Green Festival in cities all over the country" – David Goodman, Founder, Coco Jack
"We love the Green Festival and the opportunity to meet so many new customers who care about their health and their impact on the planet. It's a great venue for eco-minded and health-focused companies like Spice Pharm. We were very honored to be awarded as one of the Top 3 "Most Exciting Brands" in San Francisco, as there are so many fantastic brands in attendance. It's a great event, and we look forward to coming back next year!" - Kitty
"I would like to thank you and Corinna and the amazing staff for inviting me to be part of your Green Festival! It is a real pleasure for me to take part in this very interesting event that has true meaning around the world. And of course, to have the opportunity to speak to all of you and your audiences about Sustainability in the Entertainment Business and how we can all contribute to a green future. Green is life. Green is balance. Green is harmony. Green is a life force" - Antonio Saillant, Angel Light Pictures Entertainment Group "

Tick Tock Naturals is grateful for the platform that the New York City Green Festival has brought to our company as well as other natural product companies all focused on finding solutions that can work to save our planet.

"This is our second year attending Green Festival in DC and this year, like last year, we had a ton of booth traffic from attendees eager to learn! It gives us the unique opportunity to have direct interaction with current and future homeowners about a highly effective, environmentally responsible alternative for Termite Control. Not to mention the networking opportunities and valuable information you share with fellow exhibitors!" – J. Adamson, the Sentricon(R) System
The Green Festival Expo in Washington, DC was a perfect venue for having intelligent conversations with people who really care about the environment and finding solutions to the problems the planet -and all of us - are facing. As a speaker, I found the audience was attentive, engaged and asked excellent questions. And many people stayed afterwards for more conversations. We also exchanged our contact information and I can see some collaborative efforts ahead. The professional staff was excellent, too, solving some last-minute logistical problems that made my presentation go much smoother. Much smoother! Speaking about all the frightening hydrofracking tales I couldn't include in either my novels (The Fracking War and Fracking Justice) to an informed audience was invigorating, as well as chatting with the many vendors and other presenters who made the Washington D.C. Green Festival very memorable. I'm looking forward to attending future Green Festival Expos. - Michael J. Fitzgerald
"As a newer brand, Green Festival gave us the platform to connect with sustainable-minded and vegan consumers who want to meet us personally to hear our story of why we are passionate about making a difference in how busy families are eating at home through real, plant-based meal helpers and healthy eating ideas. In the process, we have met other inspiring brands and festival organizers who have been immensely helpful as we innovate and expand our sustainability footprint." – Deboleena (Deb) Dutta, Founder and CEO, HerbNZest LLC
"The Green Festival is a great opportunity for local businesses. Our office did more business with the Green Festival than any other festival or marketing endeavor ever. I am still catching up with new business from the Green Festival about 3 weeks after the event. We have been able to get the message of the Triad Of Health out to far more people through our interactions with the Green Festival than we ever would have otherwise. The public is starving for solutions to their chronic health concerns and Green Festival attendees probably would not ever have found out about our office and the services that we offer had we not been able to attend and present the Cholesterol Myths to Green Festival attendees. Thank you for having our office at your event and for asking us to speak on the widely misunderstood Cholesterol Myths that have been plaguing the world for the last 20 years due to the greed and recklessness of large pharmaceutical companies and their misinformation campaigns." – Dr. Ilya Skolnikoff, DC, DIBAK, Chiropractic Kinesiologist, Female Hormone & Thyroid Specialist
"We love participating in the Green Festival. We meet so many new volunteers, members, and donors whom otherwise would have no idea we are doing the work we do for healthy food, food access, and a clean Earth." – Arcadia Center for Sustainable Food & Agriculture
Since exhibiting at Green Festival NYC in 2014, we've had a huge jump in sales largely due to the fact that we were exhibting right in front of our target audience. After having so much success the first year it was a no-brainer to take part in Green Festival NYC again this year and we also signed up for Green Festival DC! We expect to have a long relationship with Green Festival for years to come!
"Through the Green Festivals we not only reach our warm market of vegans and vegetarians, but the growing number of consumers interested in new, innovative concepts in many categories, including food! At Green Festivals, we meet a growing number of consumers who are looking for more plant-based food options that are not necessarily vegan or vegetarian. The Green Festival attendee is proactive!" – Eugene Wang, Founder Sophie's Kitchen Vegan Seafood
"Our presence at the DC Green Festival allowed us to personally interact with a large number of perfect customers for our eco-friendly upholstery. It allowed us to show samples and let people touch and feel our products, taking it offline and to the public. The show staff was very supportive, and everyone we came in contact with was very professional." – Ken Fonville, EcoSelect Furniture – Custom Leather & Hemp Sofas, Loveseats, and Chairs
"We have been going to the Green Festival for 9 years, since our business first opened. Over the years, we've met festival attendees who've become amazing customers, supporters, and employees of our green business. Not only that, but the annual festivals have really built up the community of eco-entrepreneurs in our region, and increased demand for sustainable products and services. … Green Festivals definitely contributed to our growth and success!" – Community Forklift
"We Act Radio was a proud media sponsor of one of the most diverse DC Green Fest Expos ever! The 2015 electric BMW i3 test drive has resulted in the selection of our first promotional vehicle! Kymone Freeman, Co-founder"
I met you right after her great demo at the festival on 11/15. I see that Leslie changes lives and want now to really get in shape and start taking better care of myself. The whole festival was a great learning lab for ways to do that - Kathy Duby
"Nativekrafts loved the response and wholesale leads." – Nativekrafts

The sustainability focus of the Festival and the corresponding demographics of the people attending the shows, provides both an excellent opportunity to educate the public about our brands and the perfect venue to sample new products. In lieu of a large consumer research budget, Green Festival also allows us to connect one on one with sustainability-minded consumers." - Keith Holloway, Senior Brand Manager, O Organics and Bright Green

"Working with the Green Festival team was fantastic! They really care about making their exhibitors successful.

"Our experience at Greenfest, was a joyful reminder that our Fair Trade products are special. Up until now, we have been an online-only business. But watching how customers loved our products in person was our inspiration to open a brick and mortar storefront The One Eyed Turtle, in Allentown, NJ. We chose an historical site and are preparing to open this month! Thank you Greenfest Customers! And thank you Greenfest organizers!" – The ONE EYED Turtle
Fair Trade LA has just launched a campaign to make the City of Los Angeles the largest Fair Trade City in the country.

Build This Boat!
Build This Boat!
Step-By-Step Instructions, FREE
By the Alexandria Seaport Foundation
Hundreds of Bevin's Skiffs have been built around the world. Now, you can too! Thanks to the generosity of our friends at the Alexandria Seaport Foundation and Building to Teach, now you have an opportunity to build this boat, at no charge — as long as you build it with kids.
(If you're only building it for yourself, you should purchase a set of plans from the Seaport). (Boat kits are also available from the Seaport Foundation.) There is a lot of great information here that also applies to beginning boatbuilders. Building a Bevin's Skiff is also a great way to teach hands-on math. For more information go to: www.buildingtoteach.com.
Download the pdf's and images, here:
build this boat
I am an administrator at a school in Maine. Most of the schools in Maine no longer support a technology class for middle school aged students. Could this be a project for an after school tech program? How do we sign up?
for this type of project. I've seen hundreds of families build their very first boat (Bevin's Skiff) is two-and-a-half days.
Good luck.
All you have to do is sign-in or become a member and you can download the manual and drawings.
After taking Joe Yocha's Boatbuilding to Teach Math, Chris Washkovick has taught a summer school class and she and her students have a boat just about complete! Please note, this is a teacher that has not ever built anything close to something like a boat, yet it really has turned out great. I foresee a lot of public schools adapting classes similar to this because of their relevance to the real world applications of math! I've always thought boat building was cool but I never realized how relevant it really is!
Joe Norton
I teach STEM subjects at a middle/high school in MA and think this is a great project. I may try to incorporate this into my CAD class or an after school engineering club. Thanks for the plans!
You might consider having your class build a scale model of the Bevin's Skiff. We build a sailing model with middle school students. It's a good project that allows you to teach a wide variety of math skills. If you use a CNC machine to cut the parts, it's a great application of coordinate planes and Algebra.
i wood like to build a flat bottom wood boat 16ft
This sounds like a great project! I've always wanted to build a boat!
Can not open the manual. Says the file is damaged.
Opens fine for me, and for others here. Please download and retry?
I like the design and sure like by my constituents.
Good op to get hands on with my students and expand their interest level
je suis interresser sur les bateau de bois,,,,,votre programme est tres interressent,,,,,,,,,,,,,merci
Hi, I purchased the plan for the Bevins Skiff last spring with plans to build nit as a project to do with my little rather from the big brothers program. I'm having a difficult time finding marine plywood in my area. Any suggestions for suppliers in Wisconsin (particularly the Green Bay area.)...or any other suggestions. Thanks in advance.
Is there a table of offsets for this? Lofting is so hard to explain without one.
I'm sorry. There isn't a separate table. Just what's on the plans.
Hope this will interest my son in something other than online gaming !!!
The drawing has a couple of pieces that are not dimensioned, but rather are said to be "Full-size." That works fine if I know what size paper on which the drawing is to be printed. The paper size should be noted on the drawing. It isn't. Can someone tell me on what size paper this drawing should be printed? THANK YOU!
I learned that Adobe Reader will tell me the drawing size. File => Properties and one of the values reported is "page size." It is 24x36
As an Educator/Administrator, I began teaching Math and Science with Kite building and mocking up a complete Conestoga wagon; diamentions, geometry, aerodynamics and hands-on success. Building a Bevins skiff will be an awesome addition. Thank You:-)
Building this with my kids this spring.
Morning everyone.
New member here. I an a cabinet maker from rosemount Mn and we have 8 yes thats eight grand kids.
The older two and I would like to build something and not a bird house or more fishing rod holders.
My granddad and I built soapbox derby cars together and it's time to do something new with them. Were still
thinking about what to build for the first timer and I am open to any ideas in the 8' to 12 foot range. We Think we would like something for an outboard.
I grew up building things with my grandpa and have learned a lot. I have been looking for a project that I can do with my 2 little girls that they can enjoy. Looks like I found a good way to teach them some valuable lessons while building something they can use.
Is the wood kit available anywhere in Baltimore / Annapolis area. Any info will be appreciated as I am newbie to wood working and will make it easier and more fun if I don;t spend a lot of time looking for wood pieces although Annapolis may have a few places for buying supplies.
This looks like a great project for my Grandsons to learn from.
My fishing buddy and I are planing on building the skiff with his grandchildren this spring. I hope that someone has built a sailing rig for this boat to get some feedback. We are planning to work from the plans and make our own kit to be ready when the kids get out of school.
Tom O.
No one has responded yet about the sail conversion.
I have found a lot of information out there on a Balanced Lug sail. At this time that looks like the system to go with. Everything will store inside the boat, easy to make and easy to handle.
We have all of the parts made for the "kit" and now we are just waiting for one very excited 10 year old to get out of school and come back to Michigan.
That's great, Tom -- Thanks. As I recall, there is a sailplan included within the downloads. But use a balanced lug if you want. (For questions like this, I suggest you post to the WoodenBoat Forum -- It's a free service. http://forum.woodenboat.com.) Let school be over and get the boat built.
Currently building a 15′ sloop. Just love the Bevin skiff and it will be my next project, it will be great in the shallows of Lake Huron.
I'm starting with a workshop of boatbuilding and I'm interested in small wooden boats.
I'm an experienced wood worker - and I've never built a boat. I'm hoping to spend the summer building this skiff with my two daughters before they start school.
I hope to build a small boat with my two grand-sons this summer. I like the skiff's looks.
Have been looking for a project for father and daughter to do. I think this is it. May even build it with my youth group kids. Thanks for the inspiration.
Great project for sons and me.
Wanting to build a small boat with my Nephew this summer. He loves to fish! Can't wait to begin.
My son loves fishing, but I didn't. Started fishing with him and love the time we are spending together. Building a boat with him will be an amazing accomplishment for both and many fishing days. Thank you.
I have build and been given a few "home builts" over the years and have had to leave them behind when the military says go. Now i have stopped moving, have grandkids, and there is nothing better for a guy and his grands than a new boat. And have found just that boat. Thanks Scott
I built my first boat with my dad when I was 10. Now at 73 I work with many children in the inner city of Los Angeles and I love giving them new experiences. I can't wait to get started. Thanks for opportunity.
I have been looking for a father son project. This sounds perfect.
This looks like a great project for my son and me. Looking forward to creating great memories and a boat.
I have been looking to build a boat with my son, exciting.
I convince this project will give happy memories to my family and grandsons. thanks a lot
I convince this project will give happy memories to my family.
We have built several Bevin's Skiffs at Kids & Classics Boatshops as part our Boats4Folks programme. We are in Glen Williams, Ontario, outside the greater Toronto area. Plans are to do a sailing version in the next year. http://kidsnclassicsboatshops.blogspot.ca/
I live in Southern Patagonia, in a town called El Calafate and we have an inmense lake system here. My wish is to incentivate the kids in secondary schools to learn to build wooden boats, as a means to start a local provision of watrercraft (it's a small town and growing) as well as help keep them off the streets and out of mischief.
I have downloaded the plans and will keep you posted with further news. Thanks for the idea and opportunity to help kids.
Interested in making models of lobster boats

Ian Emsley has recently joined WNA to work as Senior Project Manager on the nuclear fuel market analysis and in particular this year's Market Report. Over time, he hopes to widen the scope of the analysis to include explicit consideration of other energy sources and the inter-fuel competitive outlook, which apart from enhancing the learning from the WNA scenario work should lead to greater opportunities for the WNA to extend and strengthen its links with other organisations analysing the future of energy supply.
Ian believes that nuclear power has received a raw deal from policy makers and the public; partly it seems through ignorance and partly through tendentious lobbying by environmental NGOs. He has been impressed by the depth of knowledge of WNA staff and believes that the WNA is well placed to present some of the facts and challenges of nuclear power in a way that will assist the formulation of more balanced assessments.
"The production of well-respected analysis of future energy market development can play a valuable role in highlighting some of the barriers to environmentally sound and secure energy provision, which is critical to meeting the aspirations of the world's population to a decent standard of living", Ian told WNA Update, "WNA analysis of energy market development can help set the agenda for efforts to overcome these barriers insofar as they affect nuclear power."
Before starting work for the WNA in April, Ian was an independent consultant working in the field of commodity market research and environmental policy analysis. Earlier in his career, Ian spent 25 years with mining company Anglo American plc.
Registration for the 36th Annual Symposium (London) is now open http://www.wna-symposium.org. There is an early-bird discount available plus reduced rates for WNA member company employees.
The conference will address:
The Symposium will also see the launch of WNA's 2011 Fuel Market Report.

Ann Arbor -- So what's left to settle in Chicago?
Plenty, actually.
But first things first, there was this score to settle, and as you'd expect, it wasn't going to be settled until the final buzzer, with Indiana claimed the outright Big Ten title — it's first in two decades — Sunday in Ann Arbor.
They won it by the slimmest of margins, with Jordan Morgan's potential game-winning putback hanging on the rim for what seemed like an eternity, after Trey Burke's missed layup had similarly teased.
One bounce. Then two. Then a third, and a fourth. Finally, it rolled off, the sellout crowd at the Crisler Center shrieked in unison, and Michigan's players stared in disbelief as Indiana's bench erupted in celebration.
Victor Oladipo, Indiana's do-it-all junior, then did what came naturally to a marathon winner, jogging to center court and collapsing to the ground. Later, he appeared to shed a few tears when he hugged his coach, Tom Crean.
Asked later how long it felt as if Michigan's last shot attempt held everyone captive — an hour, maybe? — Oladipo laughed.
"About 2-1/2 or 3 (hours)," he said. "Wow. I'm kind of speechless, you know? It's been a crazy ride."
How crazy? Well, consider that earlier in the week the Hoosiers actually cut down the nets at Assembly Hall after a loss, having clinched a share of the Big Ten title the same night they lost their regular-season home finale to Ohio State.
Yet Sunday, there they were, wearing the same championship caps they'd worn five days earlier, only this time with different expressions underneath.
"Uh, yeah, just a little bit," smiled guard Jordan Hulls, one of the seniors who helped this Indiana program through the lean years.
Road kings
Indiana won a total of eight Big Ten games in Crean's first three seasons (2008-11) in Bloomington. But they've won three times that many the last two, and Sunday's triumph was the Hoosiers' seventh on the road in conference play this season.
Indiana (26-5 overall, 14-4 Big Ten) was the only visitor all season to win in East Lansing, the only team to win in Columbus, and now the only one to win in Ann Arbor, too. All three of those wins came on the road against teams ranked in the top 10, and yet that's exactly what it took to win this league.
And having avoided sharing the Big Ten title — albeit with considerable help from Michigan at the free-throw line in the final minute of Sunday's game — they've secured a No. 1 seed not just in the Big Ten tournament, but likely also in the NCAA Tournament.
"I think you win this league — and it's the best league in the country — yeah, I would say so," Crean said. "I haven't really thought a lot about it. But I think so. You win this league the way that we did, you win it outright, with everything that's gone on this season in this league, yes, I do."
Most rational observers do, too, for what it's worth. But with everything that's gone on in the Big Ten, and considering what has gone on elsewhere in college basketball, Crean wanted to make another point after Sunday's game.
More than one No. 1
You could argue the Big Ten deserves more than one No. 1 seed in the NCAAs, and it was Crean's old boss who was busy making that case an hour down the road Sunday evening.
Talking about the Big Ten tournament that awaits this week in Chicago, Michigan State's Tom Izzo took note of the strength at the top of the league — Michigan, ranked seventh in the nation last week, will be the No. 5 seed in Chicago — and said, "This is way bigger than some Final Fours that I've been in."
So it only stands to reason that if one of the other top seeds comes out on top next weekend, "We may not be the only one," Crean said. Then, referring specifically to Michigan, he added "I mean, I don't think they're far from it. If we are (a No. 1 seed), I don't think they're far."
And if you think Izzo's team isn't, well, he had a message for you, too, when he took the microphone and addressed the Breslin Center crowd after Sunday's Senior Day win over Northwestern.
"Just like last year, maybe we didn't accomplish exactly what we wanted to at the end of the regular season," said Izzo, whose team coughed up the outright title on the last day a year ago, then rallied to win the Big Ten tournament and grab a No. 1 seed. "But 31 times, your team showed up. And next weekend, our (butts) are showing up, I promise you that."
Michigan has to show up in Chicago on Wednesday now, with a first-round game against Penn State (10-20) on Thursday. But a win in that one would give them another shot at Wisconsin, which beat the Wolverines as time expired in Madison a month ago. And a win there could give them a rematch with Indiana, provided the Hoosiers can get past the winner of Thursday's Illinois-Minnesota matchup.
That's a lot of "ifs," of course. Especially considering the way this Big Ten season has gone, Sunday included. As Izzo put it Sunday, "I've got a lot of people I'd like to get a shot at (in Chicago.) At the same time, this thing is filled with land mines."
But there are scores to settle, yes. And Sunday's nerve-wracking finish in Ann Arbor only adds to the list.

Claressa Shields was the only gold medal winner for the United States in women's boxing in the 2012 London Olympics. (Elizabeth Conley//Detroit News)
Claressa Shields desperately wants to fight someone. Really, it has been too long since she punched somebody she didn�t know.
Tonight, the Olympic boxing gold medalist finally will get her chance, stepping into the ring for an amateur bout against Canadian Alison "Kangaroo" Greey at Kettering University's recreation center in her hometown of Flint. It�s the main event on a fight card billed as a "Salute to Flint's Boxing Olympic Champions,� honoring a trio of Olympic medalists, with Chris Byrd and Andre Dirrell also in attendance.
But for the 18-year-old Shields, almost a year to the day after she became the first � and only � American to win gold in women�s boxing�s debut as a medal sport at the 2012 London Olympics, it might as well be billed as a freedom fight.
Dreams of turning pro and cashing in on her Olympic success as a teenager quickly faded when Shields returned home to find few opportunities in her sport, commercially or competitively. And even after deciding to remain an amateur for now � with an eye on defending her Olympic title at the 2016 Rio Games � Shield finds herself idly waiting for something other than another sparring session in the basement of Berston Field House, where she has trained with her coach, Jason Crutchfield, since the age of 11.
The age limit for amateur fighters was raised to 19 this spring, forcing Shields � a middleweight with a 33-1 record and 15 KOs � to compete in a youth division. Shields, who�ll turn 19 next March, called it a �devastating� rule change, mostly because it left her with no one to fight. As the only youth entry in her weight class at April�s U.S. championships, she didn�t even get to lace up her gloves.
Even now, she says with a laugh, �The only people that will fight me are from Canada. Nobody from the U.S. will fight me. Nobody. I mean, we called everybody we could think of.�
And yes, says Anthony Bartkowski, USA Boxing�s executive director, �that�s where it can get frustrating.�
�She�s so competitive, and I wish there were more opportunities,� he said. �But nobody wants to get in the ring against her, except for maybe a handful of women right now. � So we need to start thinking out of the box, �What can we do?��
She thought she�d done enough, honestly. That probably sounds a bit na�ve now, but to Shields, whose remarkable Olympic journey � bobbing and weaving her way through a life of poverty and family trouble in Flint to reach sport�s grandest stage � certainly makes for a good story, it only made sense.
That triumphant moment last summer in London, the one where the brash, bold inner-city kid dominated a Russian fighter twice her age to win the title and then cackled with joy on the medals podium while her anthem played, that was supposed to be her golden ticket. But unlike for gymnast Gabby Douglas, swimmer Missy Franklin and others, it simply wasn�t for Shields.
�It definitely has been a life-changer,� she said. �But is it everything that I expected? No. I expected to get a lot more recognition�. I expected to have endorsements and sponsorships and commercials. But I guess it�s just not that way for a female boxer.�
Oh, sure, she has enjoyed her brushes with fame in the last year, mingling with celebrities like Terrence Howard and Kelly Rowland, and athletes like Muhammad Ali and Venus Williams. But in the London afterglow she says she watched others who�d done less receive more, from magazine covers to talk-show appearances, �And all I kept thinking was, �Where am I at?��
Where she was at was back in class at Flint Northwestern. Shields jokingly says she �forgot� she still had a year left of high school to finish once she�d settled in back home. And she admits it was a �difficult� senior year, juggling priorities and battling perceptions and even clashing with a teacher or two.
But Shields credits high school advisor Mary Stewart with keeping her on track. (�I don�t know what I would�ve done without her,� she says.) And in a couple weeks, the first of her four siblings to graduate from high school � Shields� older brother, Artis Mack, remains in jail on a weapons charge -- will be the first to attend college, as she heads to Olivet on a full-ride scholarship to study broadcast journalism and business.
�The longest I�ve been away from home was for the Olympics,� she said. �It�s gonna be different, I know. But I�m always able to adjust to my surroundings. So I think everything�s gonna be OK.�
OK, but what about the boxing career? Well, a renovated facility at Olivet includes a boxing ring, so she�ll continue to train there with Crutchfield, working around her class schedule. And while she�s still trapped in the youth division, USA Boxing has big plans for going forward.
The sport�s long-dysfunctional U.S. governing body has undergone a major overhaul after receiving a standing 8-count from the U.S. Olympic Committee and international officials following an embarrassing 2012. (Shields� gold and Marlen Esparza�s bronze in the women�s division were the lone U.S. medals in London.) Now there�s a new board of directors, a new coach and a new plan, and Bartkowski says Shields figures prominently in it.
Still, there�s a glass ceiling that needs cracking here. Shields, like all U.S. Olympic gold medalists, earned a $25,000 bonus for her win in London. But her monthly stipend from USA Boxing was only bumped from $1,000 to $2,000, which doesn�t go very far, obviously.
�I�m not asking for the world,� Shields said. �But I have to live, too.�
She�s hopeful her new agent and promoter, California-based Rick Mirigian, can help her with that. There are ongoing negotiations with Jordan Brand and Beats by Dre, among other companies. A documentary about her rocky road to Olympic glory is in the editing stages now with plans to hit the film festival circuit this fall.
And, yes, with a full slate of international competition in place for 2014 leading up the next world championships, she�ll have plenty of chances to remind everyone in the sport what they�ve been missing. But for now, Shields says she�s content to hit the books while she keeps training, waiting for an opening, and for her chance to strike.

Kickstarter is intended to fund creative products - removing ads cannot be considered creative in the slightest.
Something that might not have been clear is that when we say no advertising that also means no PA Presents. I love working on comics for publishers but we spend a huge chunk of time every year on stuff that isn't ours. Working on things like comics to promote games and pre-sell bonuses fill in all the cracks between our Mon, Wed, Fri strips. I've been honored to work with some of these properties but I'd love to devote that time to our own projects. I feel like we have all these cool worlds that we're neglecting because we just don't have the time. This KS would change all that.
Responding to this week's furore surrounding Penny Arcade's decision to raise money through Kickstarter, Barnden maintained that crowdfunding might be controversial, but it is here to stay. "I don't think there should be any limitations on what Kickstarter is used for," he said. "There's bound to be an amount of fatigue – and we saw some of that with ours to a certain extent – but we saw the success that other games had had and thought we better get in there now.
