I received a message from Rita who is a member of a forum I frequent. To the best of my knowledge she does not read TMG, but was asking about cover crops.
All of us can certainly relate to that feeling. Anything we want to do, but don't know much about, disables us to one degree or the other and can limit what we do if we allow it. It can also reduce our chances of success or effectiveness in the doing.
Fortunately, it doesn't have to be that way with cover crops. Although nothing takes the place of the knowledge you gain when actually growing a crop, if we learn the characteristics of the cover crop we choose before we plant, we can plan our strategy around those characteristics.
Since I use only hand tools to tend my garden and borders, and also have trouble standing and walking, my strategies are planned accordingly. They may be totally different than someone who wants to till to incorporate cover crops.
Choosing a Cover Crop to Incorporate into the Soil or Use on Top as a Mulch.
Rita listed this use as her #1 reason for wanting to grow cover crops. She has a wide variety of cover crops to choose from that will accomplish this for her. But in the process of reading about various ones, she finds it confusing about which one might be the best for her situation.
All cover crops can be beneficially incorporated into the soil, and many (if not all) can be cut and used on top as mulch. Growing a variety of cover crops over a period of time will give you the best possible results. Thus, I wouldn't worry too much about which one will be "best" in that regard.
In order to decide which cover crop to use first, choose another determining factor to help make your choice an easy one.
can narrow the field and make it easy for you to choose. The main thing is to choose one and try it. You can always try another one.
you can sow small grain cover crops like barley, oats, and wheat in the spring.
Buckwheat is another good one, although the biomass is not as much as from other small grain crops. But it's such an easy crop to work with that beginners will find it very encouraging. Sow it thickly for the best results and the most biomass.
Consider the legumes, cowpeas and field peas, for spring planting as well.
Cover crops have the most nutrients just before they set seed.
Unless you are saving seed for next time, you don't want them to set seed and drop the seed in your garden.
It's easy to see the seed forming on cover crops. So just let them grow until you see flowers, heavy pollen, or the seed forming.
To the left is the small amount of winter rye I allowed to set seed for the next year's crop. It was about 4 to 5 feet tall. Picture was taken in May.
All my cover crops strategies take into consideration that I only use hand tools, rather than power tools.
If I cut biomass (vegetation resulting from growth of the plant), I do it with a hand sickle. I plan my strategies to allow most all cover crop roots to rot in the ground and use the biomass on top as mulch.
A Cover Crop to Use as a Yard Grass?
Other than clovers (in particular, white clover) I don't know of a cover crop that you could grow as or with a yard grass that would thrive 12 months of the year and keep coming back from year to year.
During times in the year that conditions are right for growth of perennial rye (cool weather), Rita could certainly cut it and add those clippings to her compost and mix with leaves to mulch her garden.
Perennial ryegrass is a cool season grass that is tough and traffic tolerant. Because it's easy and has high disease and insect resistance it's said to be a leading choice for lawn and athletic covers in cooler areas. It's sometimes used in addition to a warm season lawn grass, since the rye will be green when the warm season grass is in winter dormancy.
Want a Cover Crop That Will Give You Lots of Biomass?
If you have a spot in your yard that you can designate to growing biomass you could plant Sorghum-sudangrass. This grass is part of my long-term plan to get away from being dependent on a supplier for my straw.
It grows 5 to 12 feet tall. (You don't have to wait until it gets that tall to cut it. Let it get 3 or 4 feet and then cut back to 6 inches again.) That can make a lot of organic material for mulch, compost, or whatever you want to use it for. It's planted in early summer and will continue to grow through frost.
If you've been wanting to grow cover crops and haven't been able to decide which one to grow, I hope this has been of help. The most important thing is to take action and grow one (or more). That's how you'll reap the benefits.
Organic Gardening is easy, efficient and effective. And it's a lot healthier.
I really like the idea of using sorghum-sudangrass as mulch. By being self reliant I feel so much more in control.
Thanks so much for such great suggestions!
I'm certainly going to give it a try.
So glad you're going to give this a try, Aparna. I like being as independent as possible too. It really does make you feel more in control.
Such helpful information. I love the garden photo with you and your winter ryegrass. When did you plant it? I would think in the fall. What month? Did you wait for an empty garden space? Or did you plant it along with something else? I love that you will be collecting the seed for your next crop. I do that with everything I possibly can.
For most gardeners, just keeping your soil covered in winter, for soil conservation, I sow annual rye & or alfalfa.
Another link here suggests hairy vetch becomes a weed, and that is a fact. All clovers I've ever seen used become a nuisance year after year, so you should keep that in mind. Skyfire seeds sells small qty alfalfa seeds for cover crops.
When I plant the winter rye I designate that spot specifically for the rye after earlier crops are finished in that spot. So I do not interplant with other things, although you could interplant with a legume cover crops like field peas.
I am trying to save seed from as many things as I can. It's never as much as I'd like, but the best I can do right now. Thanks for letting me know you found the information helpful, Toni.
I assume when you said "another link here — " that you meant one of my posts because I have stated that hairy vetch can easily become a weed.
I've used clovers for many years (even before I realized they were considered a cover crop) and have never had them become a nuisance.
I've used them in the garden, even interplanted with other crops and have never had problems. I've used them outside the garden where I wanted them to return and expand and allowed them to set seed, but they did not do so as abundantly as I had hoped. It would be interesting (at least to me) to know what the conditions are that causes them to become a nuisance.
Nice to have you reading Randy. Thanks for your input.
ooh, Thank you Theresa for catching my slip up and bringing it to my attention. I very well could have ordered the wrong stuff and made a mess of my garden 🙂 I already took someone elses advice a few years ago and spread hairy vetch. Now I have it everywhere 🙂 So now that I am clear, I will put my order in for some WINTER RYE.
Good Toni! Winter rye is what you want.
I know what you mean about hairy vetch. As you've heard me say on this site many times, I planted hairy vetch about 30 years ago at our PREVIOUS location and I STILL have it at this current location!!!
There are a lot of well-known gardeners that say to use hairy vetch. I'm thinking of one in particular who promoted hairy vetch and a few years after this gardener had some experience with it – he/she now says "you might try thus and such because hairy vetch may be a bit too invasive." Makes me smile every time I read it.
If you plan your strategy with winter rye, you will do very well with it Toni. Good luck!
Hi, I got your email after I went through the recently deleted stuff. There you were. And I do come in here sometimes. I originally got the winter rye because I thought it to be a perennial and could use it for both a cover crop and a yard crop but didn't realize that winter rye and perrennial rye are different.
This perennial rye would be good for the yard? Or would you suggest another? It just needs to keep coming back so I can cut it and add to the compost or as a mulch during the season.
Presently I do not see any lawn or yard out there as we are still covered in snow. But it is slowly abatting.
Rita, I answered your question about perennial rye in the post above.
I went looking up perrenial ryegrass at a couple state universaity websites I found and it was saying that this along with white clover would be good planted together. I am thinking of trying that mix. I was planning on planting more clover for the dang voracious eating of my garden wabbits. Maybe I will entice them away from the garden. I hope, ihope ihope!
Rabbits really love clover so theoretically they would have food outside the garden. BUT, it can work either way.
Planting through your cover crops….How much of a area around the planting site do you stir up? You use a shovel? Do you add any other fertilizer or nitrogen source?
Since I cut the rye last fall I had about 4″ of cover crop to dig through this spring. So I dug a 2 sq ft area for a couple cabbage, adding a little blood meal and composted cow manure. Once I smooth that out I take a trowel and open a spot for the transplants and pour diluted fish emulsion into the hole.
When all was done I put cut grass and leaves around the plants. I am transplanting some kale today and some rutabaga seeds.
I use a hand tool rather than a shovel and dig a relatively small planting area — maybe a circle with a circumference of 8 inches. I do not add anything additional such as compost or nitrogen.
But shovels are fine; as is the larger 2 foot area for transplanting, diluted fish emulsion, and/or the compost.
I personally would not use any of the blood or bone meals in my garden for various reasons.
Rita, you may have told me before but I'm not sure: Did you cut the rye last fall because you didn't know to cut it in the spring or was there another reason?


It's back to school time and kids and parents are busy trying to get everything organized to start the school year prepared. Kids are typically more concerned with buying the right outfit while parents are more concerned with making sure they have the proper supplies for their classes.
To help you with the basic school supplies the Chicago Public Schools website has itemized the essential items needed for all grade levels.
Subject specific supplies given by teachers.
Some teachers may request specific school supplies, in addition to the ones listed above. These special requests will be outlined the first few days of classes.
When you decide to make a move to a new home there are a number of things to take care of including the dreaded packing. Not many people enjoy this process, but it can be a lot less stressful if you are organized and make a plan.
Plan ahead and budget for the move. Will you be moving yourself or will you require the assistance of a moving company? If you are planning to use a moving company it's a good idea to price this out ahead of time by using a moving calculator.
Make sure you have plenty of the following: strong packing boxes (more than you think you will need), markers and tags to label boxes, rolls of packing tape, bubble wrap for fragile items, packing paper, scissors and a knife for opening boxes.
Pack room-to-room keeping similar items together.
Use smaller boxes for heavier items so it is easier to lift.
You can use towels, linens and curtains to line the bottom and sides of boxes with fragile items. All fragile items should be individually wrapped. Clearly mark these boxes FRAGILE.
Make sure that any opened boxes or jars are tightly sealed before packing them.
Use colorful tags to identify the contents of the box and which room it will be taken to in your new home.
Pack any rugs last so that they will be the first thing unpacked and placed in the home.
Make a master list of all household items and personal belongings.
Finally pack a box with all the essentials and mark it "Open Me First". This box may contain items such as: a few basic tools (flashlight, pocket knife, masking tape, light bulbs), bathroom essentials (toilet paper, soap, shampoo, toothbrushes & paste, hand towel), Kitchen items (paper towels, coffee maker & filter, paper plates, cups, utensils, pet food, trash bags).
Planning ahead will make all the difference to an overwhelming move. Do your research and make a plan.

When it comes to purchasing a home there are few people that can afford to buy it outright while the rest of us are forced to rely on banks and lending institutions for some sort of mortgage. There are a number of factors lender's consider when qualifying you for a mortgage and one of the more important factor's is your credit score.
Your credit score is a three digit number between 300 and 850 derived from a point or scoring system called FICO. Ultimately the higher your credit score the better your credit and the more likely you will qualify for your purchase. Your FICO score is determined by a formula that factors in the following information.
35% of your score is determined by your payment history.
Are you paying your bills and are your payments on time? How many times have you paid your bills late and how late were they? Have any of your bills been sent to collections?
30% of your score is based on the amount of outstanding debt you have. The more debt you have the lower your score will be.
15% of your score is determined by the length of time of you have had the credit.
All credit bureau websites have extensive information about how the scoring system works, how to read your report and identify any inaccuracies.
It's a good idea if you plan to purchase a home, or make any large purchase, to stay on top of your credit and review your report regularly.
You want potential buyers to look at your home and be able to envision themselves living there, but how do you draw these buyers into your home? With impressive curb appeal. This is where the home staging process begins. By following a few important staging tips, you will be prepared to "wow" potential buyers and create an unforgettable first impression.
1. Begin with your front yard. It should be inviting and clean. A good wash or fresh stain to the exterior of your home will present a fresh clean look.
2. Your lawns, shrubs and trees should be trimmed and flower beds and pots weeded so as not to take away from the exterior view of your home.
With a well groomed exterior and front yard, buyers will want to continue inside your home. Now that you have attracted a buyer into your home, first impressions don't stop there. A buyer will know within minutes of stepping foot into your home if they want to take a thorough look through the home.
4. Limit the "personalization" in your home by removing any collections, knick-knacks and family photographs.
5. Eliminate any strong scents that may be in your home (i.e. pet odors, candle scents, cigarette smells, etc.) A fresh coat of paint could help freshen and clean-up a room.
6. Some rooms in your home may appear small to some buyers so you may want consider removing extra furniture in a room to give the illusion of more space. The same effect can be achieved by eliminating clutter from closets.
Don't miss out on a possible sale. Home staging is a growing trend that agents are using regularly with sellers to attract more buyers and sell your home faster. Visit Home Seller Tips for more home staging tips and home seller reports.

Summer is here and most of us love nothing more than to be outside enjoying the warm weather after a long cold Chicago winter. What better way to enjoy the outdoors than in your own backyard. We don't realize that our backyard is, and can be used as an extension of our home.
For years we have been hearing about "bringing the outdoors in" by creating a garden oasis inside our homes, however more recently there has been a new movement of people bringing the comforts of indoors into their backyards. As reported in the Chicago Sun Times, homeowners are transforming their backyards into "specialty rooms" that may include outdoor kitchens, bars, TV's and heaters for those cooler nights.
In the Chicago Sun Times article, Our backyards are new extra room, author Frank Fontana goes into detail about some of the things homeowners are doing to create this extra outdoor living space for entertaining or simply to enjoy as your own personal retreat.
Read more about how to transform your backyard into an extension of your home for gathering, entertaining and enjoying the summer, outdoors.
You're ready to buy a home, but do you really know how much you can afford?
Determining this information ahead of time will also assist your agent in finding the right properties for you to look at that fall within your budget.

The process of purchasing a home can be overwhelming if you are not familiar with all the steps and costs involved in a real estate transaction. The most common costs that tend to be overlooked by buyers and sellers are a bundle of fees called closing costs.
It is important to be aware and budget for these costs so you are not surprised on closing day and possibly fall short within your finances.
Below is a guide to some of the more standard costs that you may be faced with on closing day.
Fees charged by the lender for generating your loan.
These fees are occasionally combined into the Loan Origination Fee.
This fee is normally non-refundable and will vary depending on the value of the home.
Fees paid to have a Certified Home Inspector evaluate the structural and mechanical condition of the home.
This search will provide verification that the seller owns the house you are buying.
This fee insures against losses as a result of any title defects.
To pay up the mortgage interest to the first of the following month.
Insurance to protect the lender in the event that the borrower (mortgagor) is unable to repay the loan.
Your real estate agent will be able to give you a rough estimate of some of these costs, however once you have applied for your loan, the lender will provide you with a Good Faith Estimate of what they anticipate the closing costs to be.
Familiarize yourself with these terms, ask your real estate agent questions and budget for these fees on closing day.

Here's one of those little mindful things you can do no matter where you are.
Listening is one of those things that is simple to learn and nearly impossible to master. I spend my workdays listening, and even with all the practice I have had, it's still tough sometimes to separate myself from what my client is saying. My goal, when really listening, is to get rid of that "how does this impact me?" thing that we've been conditioned to do to survive. I want to really open up to what my client is saying – sometimes feeling heard is just what they need to move forward.
Here's your task: whether you're at work or at home, next time someone speaks to you, really listen. As those "hey, what about me" thoughts come in, notice them and let them go. Ask a question about what you just heard, rather than passing judgment or offering a solution or sharing a fear or… you get it.
People ask me all the time about social skills, and how to get better at interacting with people. People like to be heard. If you truly listen, you will get your chance to speak. And, if you don't get a chance in that interaction, it simply means that that person had a need to be heard that exceeded anything else. And how can giving them that chance be anything but good?
So, nutshell version: just listen. Ask a question. Indicate that you're willing to hear more. I'm here to tell you that REAL listening saves lives. And, while that might not happen at the office, you might be surprised at how quickly being a great listener pays off in other ways.

Academy Award winner Nicole Kidman made her film debut when she was just 16 years old, in the Australian film Bush Christmas. International recognition came six years later, when she starred in 1989's Dead Calm with Sam Neill. The following year came her American debut, opposite Tom Cruise, in the film Days of Thunder.
In 1996, Kidman won her first Golden Globe, for 1995's To Die For. Her second came in 2002, for her turn in the 2001 Baz Luhrmann musical Moulin Rouge. Her performance as actress and courtesan Satine in the film also earned her her first Academy Award nomination. The next year saw a flood of awards for Kidman's performance in the film The Hours. The movie won the 2003 Academy Award for Best Picture, while Kidman won the Academy Award for Best Actress (the first Australian to do so), plus a BAFTA and a Golden Globe. Kidman also received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame that same year. Since then, she has continued to star in a diverse array of films, including Cold Mountain, Happy Feet, Nine, Rabbit Hole, and The Railway Man.
Kidman received her first Emmy nomination in 2012 for her role as Martha Gellhorn in the TV movie Hemingway & Gellhorn. Kidman starred in another television biopic in 2014, playing Grace Kelly in Grace of Monaco. She will next be seen on the small screen in an adaptation of the hit novel Big Little Lies, set to premiere on HBO in 2016.

PREVIEW: GENERAL ELECTION 2004
An hour-by-hour "guide" to what
to watch for as the returns come in
Mon 1 Nov 2004
NOTE: the following "guide" is intended to expand upon and, in certain cases, supplement the data found on this website's
'Contests to Watch and Polling Data'.
Generally speaking, I do enjoy that which I do for 'The Green Papers': writing my Commentaries, answering 'vox Populi', gathering even the most arcane election data as well as detailed information about the electoral process, working on many other different things- some of which is not yet publicly available to the user of this website! Yes, I do enjoy all this-- that is, generally speaking.
But I have to confess that I have never wished an election had already been held, and the result already decided, as much as this one! I honestly do wish that we Americans all had already gone to the polls on, say, Louisiana's (for its State elections) "second to last Saturday in October" instead of the usual "Tuesday next after the first Monday in November"- for, then, Election 2004 would have been held back on 23 October and it would (at least presumably), right now, all be over (well... all except for the lawsuits and the recounting, perhaps! [;-)]). I have never ever felt an election campaign drag on as much as I have felt that this one has!
At first, I thought that this all had to do with when the Presidential/Vice-Presidential Debates ended (back on Wednesday 13 October- not quite three weeks ago but it, somehow, seems much longer ago than that right now!)-- but, four years ago, the last debate was held about the same amount of time before the Election; in addition, the compressed time frame in which all four debates were held this time- a little under two weeks- was not all that different from that used back in 2000... so that can't be it!
Is it, then, any anxiety on my part as to whether or not we are only going to end up going through a lot of what we went through re: Florida last time? Perhaps... but I still think that, when the returns actually come in beginning tomorrow night, whoever is elected President will end up with a significant margin in the Electoral College (at least the high-280s into 290s range, perhaps even the low 300s!): while I don't foresee an Electoral Vote landslide, I think that- despite the polling so far- there will be an overall trend, as Americans actually go to the polls and vote, more to one side or the other ("staying the course" or "throwing the 'bum' out") that will play itself out and push either President Bush or Senator Kerry well past the "finish line" of 270 Electoral Votes needed to be elected. Thus, I don't really see a replay of what occurred four years ago-- indeed, it is far more likely we will actually know who will be leading the 55th Presidential Administration which will officially take office at Noon come Thursday 20 January 2005 by no later than sometime Wednesday 3 November... then again, we'll all just have to wait and see! ;-)
In the end, regardless of my truly wishing this Election had already been held and we were now already well post-Election 2004, the day of final electoral reckoning is about to arrive- the "only poll that actually counts" will be the one soon to be alone perused in its aftermath- and it is (finally!) now time for me to present the reader of 'The Green Papers' with an hour-by-hour guide to what to look for as the polls close in State after State and the Election 2004 returns begin to roll in during the evening of Tuesday 2 November and on into the wee hours of the 3rd. This piece, by the way, is not intended to predict anything (we here at 'The Green Papers' do not predict, we can only prepare you): the closest I will ever come to an election prognostication is the following--
In the main, Presidential Election 2004 has always been more President Bush's election to lose than Senator Kerry's to win. This would, of course, be true of any presidential election in which an incumbent is seeking a second term but added to this is the fact that Reapportionment of U.S. House seats (and, by extension, Electoral Votes per State) since the previous presidential election has clearly made things harder for the Democrats (if Senator Kerry were to win every State Al Gore won back in 2000, he'd end up with 7 fewer Electoral Votes than Gore got from those very same States). Senator Kerry has done pretty much everything he possibly can to win (as pointed out in some of my more recent writings on this site, Kerry has done that for which, in some of my earlier Commentaries, I criticized him for not doing); meanwhile, President Bush hasn't done anything to lose this election. Each candidate has, overall (despite the usual campaign "spin" and hyperbole on behalf of both sides) well stated their respective positions and it is now going to be up to the American People to collectively decide who should be President for the next four years.
In a nutshell, Senator Kerry needs three things to take place in order to win this Presidential Election:
1. Kerry has to, as much as is practicable, win all the States Al Gore won in 2000 (even with their 7 fewer Electors overall)- just a reminder (and in alphabetical order), these were: California, Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington and Wisconsin.
2. Wherever Kerry might lose a 2000 Gore State listed above, he has to then win a comparable State Bush himself had won back in 2000 (lose Pennsylvania [21 Electoral Votes]?- then take Ohio [20 Electoral Votes]; lose New Mexico [5 Electoral Votes]?- make sure you've won West Virginia [same number of Electoral Votes]-- just to state two rather obvious examples).
3. Even if he can pull off either 1. or 2., John Kerry will, in my opinion, still also need what I call a "Surprise State" (there could very well be more than one of these, but there has to be at least one in Kerry's favor in concert with those first two items) in order to ultimately win the Presidency- a "Surprise State" being one re: which we all slap one of our hands upside our heads in 'I coulda had a V-8' fashion and say, almost in unison, "How in the world did Kerry win that one?!" (such a State would, of course, not be among those listed in 1. above-- but not all the States Bush won in 2000 can be considered "Surprise States" should Kerry win one or more of them [for varying reasons (noted below), neither New Hampshire nor West Virginia can be viewed as such; neither can, quite obviously, Florida!]).
Absent the above, President Bush will be re-elected-- and this should be well kept in mind as you read this piece and, later on, watch the returns as State after State is, eventually, "call"ed for one presidential candidate or the other.
One final note: the poll closing times by which this Election Preview is organized are those at which time ALL the polls have closed by general law (my use of this last underlined term will become clear shortly) in a given State (including States where some polls close later- in relative time- than elsewhere in that same State). The mainstream media- for all practical purposes, the over-the-air and cable TV news networks as well as the websites of print and other media- has promised that, unlike in 2000, they will not project a winner (should they be able to do so) until after the times seen in this Commentary: 'The Green Papers', meanwhile, has never "called" a race on Election Night before all a State's polls have closed (we even kept to this "rule" four years ago- though we at this website reserve the right to call, for example, a race for the U.S. House where a Congressional District is wholly within a Time Zone where the polls have already closed, even if the polls elsewhere in the given State are still open) and this piece would have been using the poll closing times below in any event. Having said this, however, there still remain a handful of problematic issues re: differing poll closing times (mostly revolving around my earlier use of the term "by general law") in at least a few States and such will be noted below in the course of the remainder of this piece.
Reference: Electoral College / Poll Closing Times Chronologically
0000 UTC [7 PM Eastern Standard Time- 4 PM Pacific Standard Time]: all the polls will have closed in GEORGIA, INDIANA, KENTUCKY, SOUTH CAROLINA, VERMONT and VIRGINIA.
INDIANA and KENTUCKY are two States divided between two different Time Zones (Eastern and Central). In the past, these- States whose preference for the Presidency were seemingly always rather quickly discerned- were almost always "called" by the mainstream media not all that long after 6 PM Eastern (2300 UTC), by which time polls in the advanced (Eastern) Time Zone portion of the State will have closed (while they remain open in the lagging [Central] Time Zone for nearly another hour). Thus, these are interesting principally as the very first "test" of the media's resolve; if a mainstream media outlet "calls" the presidential winner in either State- if not both- before 0000 UTC/7 PM EST, one would then have to assume that "all bets" are thereafter "off" as to how well the media will keep its promises throughout the rest of the evening!
Other than this, there is not all that much to look at in either State: the INDIANA Governor's race is rather interesting- pitting the man who succeeded a Governor who had died in office against a former Bush Administration economic adviser- and it's close. The only race in KENTUCKY of note is that involving Nick Clooney- the father of actor George Clooney and the brother of the late singer Rosemary Clooney- as the Democratic candidate for a seat in Congress; besides the "celebrity factor", it's close.
None of the other States where the polls are closing this early have races which provide much interest to the political observer outside the respective States and Congressional Districts. In GEORGIA, there are two Congressional races (in CDs 12 and 13) where Democrats have an outside chance of defeating GOP incumbents but the key word here is "outside". Throughout most of these States where the polls will be closing earliest in the Nation, it appears there will be little surprise.
0030 UTC [7:30 PM Eastern- 4:30 PM Pacific]: all the polls will have closed in OHIO and WEST VIRGINIA.
Thus, two of the more interesting States to watch become potentially "callable" throughout the remainder of what will likely prove to be a long evening.
OHIO is, no question, the "mother of all battleground States" for 2004. Much (too much!) is made of the fact that no Republican has ever been elected President without also winning OHIO. Simply put- in current terms- this is a State Bush won last time and Kerry could bring it over to his column which, if the Massachusetts Senator does, puts him in something of the proverbial "driver's seat" re: who will win the Presidency (depending, of course, on how the presidential voting breaks down elsewhere). Thus, OHIO becomes an interesting bellwether of President Bush's re-election chances.
WEST VIRGINIA, meanwhile, is the opposite: a usually reliably Democratic State (though somewhat conservative in sociocultural outlook, it voted for Dukakis back in 1988- the only State south of the Mason-Dixon line to do so!), it went for Bush in 2000. This is one State the Democrats would love to take back. In a sense, WEST VIRGINIA is a "reverse NEW HAMPSHIRE" (see below)-- if Kerry can win it, it augurs well that Kerry might yet be able to win that "Surprise State" I think Senator Kerry will need in order to pull Election 2004 out.
0100 UTC [8 PM Eastern- 5 PM Pacific]: all the polls will have closed in ALABAMA, CONNECTICUT, DELAWARE, the DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, FLORIDA, ILLINOIS, KANSAS, MAINE, MARYLAND, MASSACHUSETTS, MISSISSIPPI, MISSOURI, NEW HAMPSHIRE, NEW JERSEY, OKLAHOMA, PENNSYLVANIA and TENNESSEE.
FLORIDA- it almost goes without saying- is the most interesting of all these States, if only because of what happened there four years ago. A Kerry victory in the Sunshine State is important not so much in relation to Kerry's overall quest for the Presidency (though it so obviously is important in that regard) as it is in relation to what is going on elsewhere: a Kerry win in Florida could end up putting Kerry "over the top" (depending on when it is called in relation to who has already been seen as winning other States) but, more likely, a Kerry win in Florida would make up for some Electoral Votes Kerry did not win elsewhere. A Bush loss in Florida is, therefore, not necessarily fatal to the President's chances for re-election; on the other hand, a Bush win does put the proverbial "big hurt" to Kerry's winning the Presidency.
MAINE is interesting primarily because it is one of the only two States to, at least as of this typing (I'll be talking about COLORADO later in this piece), be able to split its Electoral Vote. The Pine Tree State currently seems a Kerry State but President Bush came close to winning one of the two Congressional District Electors four years ago and it is quite possible Bush could actually win CD 2 this time, even if he should lose the State as a whole (thus MAINE would, in such a case, be a 3-1 split for the very first time since it enacted its Electoral College law back in 1969 [effective with the 1972 Election]).
NEW HAMPSHIRE is another one of those potential problematic States as to how early races there can be "called". General Law in the State states that the polls should close no later than 7 PM local time (0000 UTC)- they can close as early as whenever all registered voters in a Town(ship) have cast their ballots (which is why places such as Dixville Notch and Hart's Location- with literally handfuls of registered voters- try and get everyone living in those places to cast their votes as soon as possible after midnight and, thus become "first in the Nation" to officially announce their results). The problem is that cities in the Granite State (there are but 13 of these, compared to 221 town[ship]s) have the "local option" to keep polls open therein until 8 PM Eastern (0100 UTC)- of course, a city can theoretically decide not to avail itself of this option. Again, a "test" of the mainstream media to keep its resolve (since this used to be a State called not all that long after 7 PM Eastern [0000 UTC], where that was possible).
NEW HAMPSHIRE is also interesting, in 2004, for another reason: it, once a certain conservative Republican bailiwick, is a "battleground" State. If Senator Kerry should win New Hampshire, it augurs rather well for his possibly winning the White House (for this would likely indicate a lot of conservatives ticked off at Bush for a record Federal deficit, along with other matters of interest to the more libertarian conservative, are willing to vote for someone from neighboring [and liberal] Massachusetts-- this might indicate that other ticked-off conservatives in other parts of the country might be willing to do the same). The Granite State, however, is not a "Surprise State" Kerry, in my opinion, needs in order to achieve ultimate victory, for it has already voted for Bill Clinton- twice!- while, at the same time, electing Republican U.S. Senators in each case. If Bush, meanwhile, should win New Hampshire, it means nothing in terms of prognostication (New Hampshire is still conservative enough so that Bush should win it).
PENNSYLVANIA is, more or less, the direct opposite of New Hampshire. Simply put, Kerry cannot lose the Keystone State, for it is- indeed- the "keystone" to any chances for a Kerry victory (it would be rather hard for Senator Kerry to, elsewhere, make up for the loss of this State which, in 2000, had voted for Al Gore: the conventional wisdom is that- of Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania- the winner of two of these three probably wins the Presidency; assuming this be true, losing PA would mean Kerry would have to win the other two [something Gore did not do four years ago]). Thus, if Bush should win Pennsylvania, it would then likely be that Kerry can't win the White House simply because the Electoral Vote math would now be even less in Kerry's favor; if Kerry, on the other hand, wins Pennsylvania, it doesn't help him all that much in his quest for the Presidency (other than his here having dodged a rather sizeable "bullet"): for this is a State Senator Kerry should be able to win.
My own State of NEW JERSEY is another one to at least look at from the corner of one's eye as the returns come in: it seems relatively safe for Kerry now, as I type this, after a period of see-saw polls (usually Kerry slightly up or virtual dead heat-- relatively rarely has Bush been significantly ahead this Fall) but the Garden State is another one Kerry should be able to win and really can't afford to lose (if Bush should win both NJ and PA, the Presidential Election is- for all intents and purposes- already decided!)
The other States don't really provide all that much to watch: MISSOURI is, in effect, the GOP version of NEW JERSEY- it has had a period of see-saw polling but now seems to be settling into the Bush column; like NEW JERSEY, it bears at least some peripheral watching. MISSOURI does have an interesting Governor's race between Democrat Claire McCaskill (who has already ousted incumbent Governor Bob Holden in the Primary last August) and Republican Matt Blunt. In CONNECTICUT, incumbent House Republican Christopher Shays [CD 4] seems to suddenly be in the political fight of his life (virtually overnight!), though he remains favored- yet this one bears at least some watching. OKLAHOMA has an interesting U.S. Senate race, one in which Democratic Congressman Brad Carson (against a Republican Congressman, Tom Coburn) is trying to turn a currently Republican Senate seat (former Republican whip Don Nickles is retiring) into a Democrat one.
0130 UTC [8:30 PM Eastern- 5:30 PM Pacific]: all the polls will have closed in ARKANSAS and NORTH CAROLINA.
ARKANSAS- whose native son is, after all, former President Bill Clinton- is one of those States Kerry supporters might well look to as a potential "Surprise State" for Kerry; currently, however, it seems to safely be in the Bush column.
NORTH CAROLINA is the more interesting of the two: first, it is a problematic State in terms of poll closing times and media "call"s- like NEW HAMPSHIRE, it allows "local option" (in this case, on the County level) to keep the polls open an extra hour (thus, this State could still be called by the mainstream media as early as 0030 UTC [7:30 PM Eastern] on grounds that the "general law" poll closing time is that earlier hour); secondly, it is the home State of John Kerry's running mate, outgoing Senator John Edwards, though it currently looks as if this will make little, if any, difference in this State (or, for that matter, throughout the rest of the South); finally, it has an interesting U.S. Senate race involving a former Clinton Administration official as the Democratic candidate trying to hold at least one of the 5 Senate seats being vacated by Southern Democrats (most of which- if not all- are likely GOP pickups) for that Party.
0200 UTC [9 PM Eastern- 6 PM Pacific]: all the polls will have closed in ARIZONA, COLORADO, LOUISIANA, MICHIGAN, MINNESOTA, NEBRASKA, NEW MEXICO, NEW YORK, RHODE ISLAND, SOUTH DAKOTA, TEXAS, WISCONSIN and WYOMING.
COLORADO is most interesting because of its "Amendment 36" which would divide the State's Electoral Vote proportionally (though, as of this typing, it appears that this Initiative will not pass) but it is also a "battleground State" (though appearing to continue to lean toward Bush as of this typing). The U.S. Senate race- between Democrat former Attorney General Ken Salazar and Republican beer mogul Pete Coors- here is also an interesting one to watch. COLORADO, along with ARIZONA, are also States that one could see potentially being that "Surprise State" for Kerry I talked about earlier in this piece: as of this typing, ARIZONA seems more safely in the Bush column (and, thus, closer to what I have already said about MISSOURI than it would be to COLORADO).
MICHIGAN and MINNESOTA are both one-time Democratic bailiwicks that have become "battlegrounds" and they are States that Gore won and which, therefore, Kerry really can't afford to lose. MINNESOTA is actually the most interesting of the two: the once-dominant Democrat-Farmer Labor alliance that produced Hubert Humphrey, Walter Mondale and Paul Wellstone has been losing political influence of late; keep in mind that this is the State that, not all that long ago, once elected Independent Jesse Ventura Governor and elected both a Republican Governor and a Republican U.S. Senator two years ago. The outcome in MINNESOTA (depending on how things might have transpired elsewhere) could spell outright doom for Kerry's presidential bid should Bush manage to take this one (as, in such a case, this would be the negative bellwether for Kerry in terms of nearby IOWA). MICHIGAN, meanwhile, seems more like my own NEW JERSEY as of this typing (that is, it looks as if Kerry will likely win this one which has been a see-saw in polls over the course of the campaign) but still bears at least some peripheral watching as the returns come in.
NEW MEXICO was the "Surprise State" for Al Gore last time (though, in the end, Gore was not elected). Because it was a Gore State in 2000, it is now on that list of States Kerry really can't afford to lose and also can't be that "Surprise State" I argue Kerry has to win in order to win it all.
SOUTH DAKOTA is interesting only because the most threatened incumbent U.S. Senator is battling for re-election here and that happens to be the current Democratic leader in the Senate, Tom Daschle!
TEXAS is not at all interesting as regards the presidential race (the Lone Star State being home to the incumbent President and heavily favoring him) but it does contain more than a few interesting races for the U.S. House: because of court-ordered redistricting, two Congressional Districts in the State (CDs 19 and 32) have pitted incumbent Congressmen against each other (very unusual in a Congressional Election not immediately following general nationwide Reapportionment, as was the case back in 2002) plus there are at least a couple more races in which incumbent Congressmen- in redrawn versions of their Districts- face tough re-election fights. TEXAS could be the place where Republicans most "pad their lead" re: their control of the U.S. House of Representatives!
WISCONSIN is another "battleground State" re: the presidential election and another 2000 Gore State Kerry really can't afford to lose. Either the comments I made about MINNESOTA (above) or the comments I made about MICHIGAN (also above) generally apply also to WISCONSIN (which is politically, as well as geographically, between the two): the election returns will tell us which!
0300 UTC [10 PM Eastern- 7 PM Pacific]: all the polls will have closed in IOWA, MONTANA, NEVADA and UTAH.
What has already been said about WISCONSIN (above) goes ditto for IOWA. Indeed, Kerry holding onto all three Upper Midwest States- IOWA, MINNESOTA and WISCONSIN- may well (even moreso than Kerry managing to win OHIO or FLORIDA whilst holding onto PENNSYLVANIA) determine whether or not President Bush will ultimately be re-elected. NEVADA, meanwhile, is more like MISSOURI (a State Bush should win but which, nevertheless, bears at least peripheral watching)-- it is yet another one that could well be the "Surprise State" Kerry might need (assuming Kerry has not already picked up a "surprise" by this hour).
MONTANA and UTAH both have interesting Governor's races that bear some watching but their presidential choice has long been pretty much a "given" (Bush in both cases).
0400 UTC [11 PM Eastern- 8 PM Pacific]: all the polls will have closed in CALIFORNIA, HAWAII, IDAHO, NORTH DAKOTA, OREGON and WASHINGTON.
The biggest potential threats to Senator Kerry's bid for the Presidency among these States are to be found in OREGON and WASHINGTON. Both 2000 Gore States which- again, almost by definition- Kerry simply can't afford to lose, as of this typing they both seem reasonably safe Kerry country but, much like NEW JERSEY and MICHIGAN, they bear at least peripheral watching. More to the point, by the time the polls close in these States- and they, thereby, become potentially "callable"- we all will have already seen at least some pattern emerging within the Electoral Vote map from among those States already "called" by this hour and it will, presumably, already be clear by then whether it is President Bush or Senator Kerry who has the upper hand (that is, we will already- by 0400 UTC [11 PM Eastern]- know what each presidential candidate yet needs among any States not yet "called" in order to eventually be elected President in this election).
0600 UTC [1 AM Eastern- 10 PM Pacific]: all the polls will have closed in ALASKA (the very last State whose polls will have completely closed re: the General Election of Tuesday 2 November 2004).
ALASKA will have no real effect on the presidential race (unless it should prove to be a "Surprise State" Kerry needs in order to win-- and, boy!, that would be a surprise!! [;-)]) but it does have a very interesting U.S. Senate race between Republican incumbent Lisa Murkowski- who had hitherto been serving by appointment by her own father, the State's Governor, to fill the vacancy caused by his having been elected Governor- and her Democratic challenger, former Governor Tony Knowles- the very man former Senator Frank Murkowski had actually succeeded! (by this hour, we should have some fairly good idea as to how the United States Senate of the new 109th Congress to take office next January is shaping up and this last Senate race could yet prove crucial to the overall balance of political power in that chamber--- in other words, we all could, at this point, very well be looking "north to the future" [;-)], at least insofar as the Senate is concerned!)

General Theological Seminary, Preservation Plan
BBB developed a comprehensive Preservation Plan that serves as the framework for the General Theological Seminary's stewardship of its historic buildings.
The General Theological Seminary, founded in 1817, was the first Episcopal Seminary in the United States. Located on a full city block in Manhattan's landmarked Chelsea Historic District, the Seminary's park-like campus is the oldest extant collegiate quadrangle in New York City. The campus contains 17 buildings, the majority of which were constructed in the Collegiate Gothic style from 1883 to 1904. From 2000 to 2012, BBB worked with the Seminary on various projects, including a Preservation Plan prepared for the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission. Following a comprehensive envelope assessment of all structures on campus, a final report was produced, prescribing preservation treatments and associated costs for long-term planning, phased according to the priority of repairs and programmatic needs of the Seminary. From this plan, BBB completed the partial or complete renovation of multiple historic buildings on campus.

< Ethical Business
Guruve is a small town in northern Zimbabwe famous locally for its pink Moroccan-style hotel. It is also close to Tengenenge, an established sculpture community, which is how we found it on the map when researching stone sculpture in Zimbabwe (the 'Shona art movement'). An African spelling of 'groovy' was the perfect name for a company founded to bring the best young, fresh, funky African art and artists to a wider audience.
Guruve was established in 2000 to promote the very best in contemporary African art. A whole continent's creativity had been largely ignored by outsiders and we wanted to change that. But we are also an ethical business – we want to convince African artists that some international patrons can be fantastic people to deal with, who bring good business and build strong friendships.
More controversially, we are not convinced that development aid money is always the best cure for all ills. Guruve know that an artist (or anybody else!) in Africa who has produced a wonderful piece of work and receives a high price for it feels proud and fulfilled, can provide for their extended family, and is much more motivated to work hard in the future than is anyone who has received something for free.
We are committed to bringing some of the income from sales back to the artists we promote, and to funding opportunities for aspiring young artists. We have made various donations to African artist groups, of materials and tools, food, etc. We have also sponsored workshops for children in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe with the help of established local artists. We have very strong relationships with many Zimbabweans and will continue to support them through these difficult times.
Tim and Emma, co-founders of Guruve, are two young ex-professionals who have exchanged impersonal office jobs for the challenge of running an ethical business that improves the lives of the talented individuals we promote. We brought with us our commitment, integrity and a strong service ethic and added our own warm personalities and a passion for Africa.
All the African artists we promote have remarked on how nice we are to do business with, confirming that our business ethics work – indeed, artists often make their best pieces especially for us as they know they will get an extremely good price. So you benefit from a choice of the highest quality original artworks, and you can trust that your money will be invested back into Africa for the benefit of aspiring artists of current and future generations.

When we added these 2 inch stripes to the wall in this Fort Myers homes living room we used a combination of Metallic Gold and Iridescent Blue Opal. This look stunning.
We added 6 in stripes to the walls in this guest bathroom.
We added a faux stripe accent wall in this living room.
We used several different metallic colors to do this Strie" Faux finish in the kitchen and dinette of this Fort Myers home.
The pictures on this page will show you man different options when it comes to Faux finishing. There are several pictures of stripes we have done as accent walls in rooms or even complete rooms. Depending on the size of the stripe will depend on how elegant it looks and where you should use the stripe. Like in the picture below where we used 2 inch stripes in this Fort Myers Formal Living Room. The thinner the stripe the more elegant it looks. We can even do a distress effect to walls, or add a little stone to a back splash.

Charges Dismissed Against Buddhist Nun
July 17, 2011 | arun
Venerable Hong Yuan came to New York to raise money for her fire-damaged temple, but found herself arrested for handing out prayer beads, charged with a misdemeanor for acting as an unlicensed vendor and offered a day of community service in exchange for a guilty plea. Last week the nun refused to plea guilty to any wrongdoing, and now DNAinfo reports"[p]rosecutors said that they will effectively dismiss the charges when she appears in Manhattan Criminal Court on Monday."
Phew! (Update: charges dismissed!)
You can read Shayna Jacobs' full story at DNAinfo—it seems the prosecution sees its mistake. Ven. Hong Yuan should now have no more need to worry about these ridiculous charges. Many thanks to Ms. Jacobs for her reporting on this incident, highlighting a situation that could easily have disappeared under the radar.
Thanks also to Jack Daw for spearheading a Twitter campaign to persuade the Manhattan District Attorney's office to reconsider this case. We may never know how much the Twitterverse shaped the prosecutors' ultimate decision, but it was no less breathtaking to see Buddhists rally online for one humble Chinese nun far away from home in New York City.
Of course, you can still support Ven. Hong Yuan's cause to raise funds to restore her temple. You can make checks payable to the Atlanta Pu Xian Buddhist Association, Inc., 3140 Shallowford Pl., Atlanta, GA 30341. The association can also be reached by telephone at 678-436-3607.
Previous Singtao Daily articles by Li Xiaomi on Ven. Hong Yuan can be read here and here (in Chinese). Previous posts on this blog about Ven. Hong Yuan are here and here.

Update: Finally a post on the topic from Our Chinatown! (Well, I suppose you could also count these two.)
Chinese Nun Refuses Plea Deal
July 8, 2011 | arun
I hope you remember about Ven. Hong Yuan (宏願法師), who police arrested on Canal Street last month for distributing prayer beads to supporters, including those who donated to help rebuild her burnt-down temple. DNAInfo reports that prosecutors are "charging her with a misdemeanor for acting as an unlicensed vendor."
The DA offered a plea deal where Ven. Hong Yuan will serve "one day of community service in exchange for a disorderly conduct, non-criminal guilty plea," but the nun has refused.
We should support Ven. Hong Yuan in her pursuit of justice, especially in encouraging the DA to drop the charges against her. This situation is a fantastic opportunity for Buddhists to reach out and support each other across racial, cultural and geographic lines. If you follow Ven. Hong Yuan's story, it should be clear that she could definitely use the assistance of supporters to show the DA that this nun has the support of an entire community behind her.
You can read more background at this previous post with information from the earlier articles at DNAInfo and Singtao Daily.

Buddhist Nun Arrested for Soliciting Donations
June 14, 2011 | arun
I was surprised that I couldn't find this story in the Our Chinatown news blog. DNAInfo reports on a Chinese Buddhist nun who was arrested and detained without an interpreter for handing out malas to people who gave donations to help rebuild her temple, which had burnt down. The nun, Li Baojing Ven. Hong Yuan was "ordered to appear in Midtown Community Court on July 7. If convicted, she could face up to three months in jail and a $3,000 fine." You can read more details about her situation at DNAInfo.
Hopefully DNAInfo won't drop this issue (or maybe Our Chinatown will pick it up) because I would really like to know how this turns out. If anyone has any more information, please don't hesitate to drop a note in the comments.
Update: Our Chinatown actually published news on Ven. Hong Yuan's fundraising before her arrest. Apparently, the NYC police were unaware.
In the scorching heat or in the pouring rain, one Buddhist [nun] has appeared on the streets of Chinatown day after day, seeking donations to repair a temple in Atlanta, Ga., that was damaged after a fire.
Hong Yuan, who came to New York in 1996 and has been practicing as a Buddhist [nun] for more than 20 years, bought a house in Atlanta in 2007 that she turned into the Pu Xian Temple. On March 26, the temple caught fire while Hong was in China; no one was inside at the time.
Hong said that when she returned, she was informed by her insurance company that it would not settle her claims since her name and the name on the insurance documents did not match up. Hong said that when she filled out the insurance forms to transfer her residence over to the association, she forgot to make the necessary changes to the documents, adding that she did not realize such a small oversight would have such big consequences.
If you want to make a donation, you can make checks payable to the Atlanta Pu Xian Buddhist Association, Inc., 3140 Shallowford Pl., Atlanta, GA 30341. The association can also be reached by telephone at 678-436-3607. (Singtao Daily)

How would you take down a city? How would you prepare for and defend against such an attack? The information security community does a great job of identifying security vulnerabilities in individual technologies and penetration testing teams help secure companies. At the next level of scale, however, things tend to fall apart. The information security of cities, the backbone of modern civilization, often receives little to no holistic attention, unless you count the constant probing of nation state aggressors. The information technology infrastructure of cities is different from other entities. Cities feature complex interdependencies between agencies and infrastructure that is a combination of federal, state and local government organizations and private industry, all working closely together in an attempt to keep the city as a whole functioning properly. Preparedness varies widely. Some cities have their act together, but others are a snarl of individual fiefdoms built upon homegrown technological houses of cards. If you can untangle the policy and politics and overcome the bureaucratic infighting to create workable leadership, authorities, and funding, you are still faced with an astronomically complex system and an attack surface the size of, well, a city. Our talk identifies these necessary precursor steps and provide a broadly applicable set of tools to start taming and securing, such an attack surface. In this talk, we first explore a notional city, deconstruct it layer by layer, and use these insights to suggest a comprehensive methodology for reverse engineering any city and deriving its attack surface. We complement these insights with a broad analysis of proven capabilities demonstrated by hacker and information security researchers as well as known capabilities of criminal and nation-state actors applicable to city-level attacks. Next, we develop a coherent strategy for penetration testing as an approach to highlight and then mitigate city-level vulnerabilities. Finally, we conclude with a wide-ranging set of approaches to complement pen testing efforts, including exercises and collective training, metrics and a maturity model for measuring progress, and specialized city-level attack/defend ranges. You'll leave this talk fearing for the survival of your respective country, but also possessing a toolkit of techniques to help improve the situation. By better securing cities we have a glimmer of hope in securing nations.

Home News FIH reveals new structure of international hockey from 2019
FIH reveals new structure of international hockey from 2019
Top level annual home and away league to replace existing events
Model designed to support growth across all levels of the sport
New portfolio agreed following extensive research and development
The International Hockey Federation (FIH) has announced that a new portfolio of events will be launched in 2019 which will completely change the landscape of international hockey.
Designed to provide a regular calendar of must-see events played in packed stadia across the world throughout the year, a new annual global home and away league involving the world's leading hockey nations will complement the Hockey World Cup and Olympic Games tournaments.
This system will see international teams play against opponents once at home and once away each year in this league. Following several months of competition, the top ranked teams will then qualify for a stand-alone grand finale tournament which will determine the winners of the competition. This will form part of a three tier system, identical for both the men's and women's game.
Teams participating in this new home and away league will be chosen based on a clearly defined set of qualification criteria designed to maintain the quality of the league and high standard events. These have been developed around the three main objectives of the new event portfolio – to generate a massive change in TV and media coverage for hockey; create big, bold, packed and loud events and make a step change to increase future revenues.
For those nations not in the home and away league, the next tier of competition will remain similar to the current Hockey World League Round 1 and 2 events, played over two year cycles. This format will still give teams the chance to go all the way to the World Cup or Olympics. Even the smallest hockey-playing nations have the opportunity to write their own chapter in hockey's history books as they progress throughout the rounds of competition into these flagship events.
While Hockey World Cup qualification will remain similar to the current system, Olympic qualification will change, pending approval of the International Olympic Committee's Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games qualification criteria.
The introduction of this new portfolio of events means that there will no longer be Hockey World League Semi-Finals and Finals, while the last Hockey Champions Trophies will take place in 2018.
The proposals were approved by the FIH Executive Board in Lausanne, Switzerland earlier this month. The decision was made after more than 18 months of consultation, research and development between a number of stakeholders, overseen by a specially formed working group for this project.
This included correspondence with more than 700 individuals, including: athletes; National Associations; Continental Federations; the International Olympic Committee; Association of Summer Olympic International Federations; major broadcasters; individuals at Continental Federation congresses; officials and umpires; FIH Committee and Panel members and FIH staff.
In addition to this, internationally renowned integrated audit, tax, consulting and financial advisor Deloitte provided extensive support in developing the financial modelling for the new portfolio of events.
It is predicted that the increased commercial potential of implementing the new structure will generate considerably more value for the sport, which will filter down into all levels, including new and developing hockey nations, from elite to grassroots level.
Speaking about this, FIH CEO Kelly Fairweather said: "This is a historic decision for the sport of hockey – a game changer! More than a year's worth of work and over 700 people have helped develop this new portfolio of events. Moving from a tournament based format to a home and away league will considerably increase the value of our sport."
He continued: "Fans will be exposed to more international hockey throughout the year, with many more home matches for them to enjoy. With more fans packing out the stands, we expect these events to be bigger, bolder packed and loud, creating electric atmospheres for our athletes to perform in. This, along with tweaks to the tiers below, will have a significant impact on the sport across all levels, safeguarding its future for many years to come."
FIH President, Leandro Negre added: "When we launched our strategy 18 months ago we knew that drastic measures were required to revolutionise the sport. This is an exciting opportunity for hockey. A lot of hard work has already been undertaken, but this is only the start. We need the hockey family to embrace this change now to ensure we reach our 10-year aim of making hockey a global game that inspires the next generation. This will certainly be a monumental step for the sport as we take it to the next level."
This is the latest major advancement made by the sport in relation to the Hockey Revolution. To find out more about the FIH's 10-year strategy, click here.

Fort McMurray's Royal Canadian Legion is acting as an emergency shelter after people were forced to leave their units at a downtown apartment building.
The approximately 200 residents were forced to leave Hearthstone Manor after a water line in their boiler room broke Monday evening, flooding the main lobby.
Legion President Pat Duggan said more than 40 people were initially helped on Monday, with approximately 18 staying the night. Some have since relocated, but Duggan said they are still serving about a dozen people, with many of those staying the night again on Tuesday.
In addition to having a place to sleep, the Legion is also providing help with any medical needs, counselling services, food and anything else people need.
While the Legion is acting as an emergency shelter, regular functions of the building have been temporarily suspended, with the upstairs being completely blocked off.
"Fortunately this time we weren't too busy, so a minimal amount of customers were actually affected," said Duggan.
The emergency shelter was agreed to be put in place for 72 hours, meaning regular operations at the Legion will be back by Friday.
Municipal spokesperson Adam Hardiman said in an email that should additional support be needed by residents after the 72 hours, the Canadian Red Cross will help support affected residents directly.
