UW-River Falls Administrative Policy
Discretionary Equity or Retention Adjustment -
This policy establishes compensation guidelines for eligible classified staff members who seek Discretionary Equity or Retention Adjustment Compensation as stated in University of Wisconsin System Discretionary Equity or Retention Adjustment (DERA) Criteria and Guidelines policy of June 30, 2013, the 2013-2015 Compensation Plan, and Chapter 552 of the Wisconsin Human Resources Handbook.
The UW-River Falls Chancellor issues this policy in accordance with the Administrative Policy process.
The Assistant Chancellor for Business and Finance is responsible for the administration of this policy. Request an exception to this policy by writing to email@example.com.
Failure to adhere to the provisions of this policy may result in appropriate disciplinary action as provided under existing procedures applicable to students, faculty, and staff, and/or civil or criminal prosecution.
DERA will be available to address equity and/or retention issues. Permanent or project classified (except Crafts Workers and Crafts Worker Supervisors) no longer serving a probationary period and who have had a satisfactory-or-above performance evaluation during the previous fiscal year at UW-River Falls in a broadband pay range are eligible for a base pay increase, lump sum payment, or a combination of both. Employees who are eligible for broadband pay upon appointment within the previous twelve months should be considered for DERA only in exceptional circumstances.
Except in extraordinary situations, the maximum base pay adjustments and lump sum payments granted to an employee in a fiscal year is greater than zero and up to two within-range steps.
Equity and Retention Adjustment Criteria:
Pay Equity: The employee's salary has been determined to be lower than that of other state employees performing the same or similar duties at the same level of proficiency and who have comparable years of relevant service; or there is significant pay compression between the employee and his/her immediate subordinates; or established labor market data identifies a need to award market adjustments in order to achieve equity with external public/private employers.
Retention: The employer is aware that the employee is actively seeking other employment, or the employee actually has a job offer in hand and the resultant loss of the employee's knowledge and experience would be a detriment to the agency; therefore, requiring a pay adjustment be made in order to retain the employee.
1. Requests will be submitted utilizing the Justification for DERA form as prescribed by the University of Wisconsin System.
2. Equity requests will include supporting documentation and must include source data from Wisconsin's WorkNet with county wage comparison for Pierce and St. Croix Counties http://worknet.wisconsin.gov/worknet/wagecomparison.aspx and statewide information from CareerOneStop at http://www.careerinfonet.org/select_state.asp?next=wages1&level=&optstatus=&id=1&nodeid=208&soccode=&jobfam=&SOC=
3. Requests from supervisors of classified staff will be accepted by the Office of Human Resources beginning with the third Monday of September and ending on the second Tuesday of October annually. Employees may self-nominate for DERA no more than once per fiscal year within the designated timeframe.
4. Equity requests will be reviewed by an advisory committee comprised of the Provost or his/her designee, Chief Human Resources Officer, and the Assistant Chancellor for Business and Finance; and once approved, decisions will be made, approved by the Chancellor, and then forwarded to the Office of State Employment Relations (OSER) for approval.
5. All DERAs must be approved by OSER before being granted.
6. Under no circumstances will the effective receipt of a base building adjustment be earlier than the third Monday of September annually.
7. A retention request for a special situation where the employee actually has a job offer in hand is an exception and will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
8. Within five (5) business days of receipt, retention requests for a special situation must be reviewed by the Director of Human Resources and the Assistant Chancellor for Business and Finance, and once approved, will be forwarded to the Chancellor for approval and forwarding to OSER.
The Office of the Assistant Chancellor of Business and Finance will maintain this policy on the Administrative Policy website, and the Office of Human Resources will share this policy with employees inquiring about classified pay equity or retention Discretionary Equity or Retention Adjustment.
Human Resources
Equity and retention were previously included in Discretionary Merit Compensation. It was removed and the Discretionary Equity or Retention Adjustment was established in the 2013-2015 Compensation Plan.

WASHINGTON — The case against suspended Washington police officer Barry Hudson has taken another twist as state charges have been dropped and federal charges may take their place.
Special Prosecutor Michael Steiner said Monday the charges were dismissed in February as the Federal Bureau of Investigation has started an investigation into Hudson's actions on Christmas Eve 2011 when he allegedly beat a man in his custody.
"We won't prosecute in the middle of their investigation," Steiner, who is the Martin County prosecutor, said.
"If they do not file charges, then we will pick them back up."
Hudson, according to court records, was scheduled to go to trial on May 8. Dubois County Judge Mark McConnell was the special judge assigned to the case.
The office of U.S. Attorney Joseph Hogsett would neither confirm nor deny there is an investigation into the Hudson case. Steiner said if federal charges follow the investigation, they would likely be filed in the summer.
An investigation by the Indiana State Police on Hudson started on Jan. 26, 2012, after a complaint on his actions on Dec. 24, 2011. According to the probable cause affidavit, Hudson and another officer arrested Kenneth Anderson at Our Lady of Hope Catholic Church.
Anderson, who appeared to be intoxicated at the time, allegedly became belligerent and threatened the officers. As Anderson exited the police car at the Daviess County Security Center, Hudson allegedly shoved Anderson into the car. Anderson's face hit the car and the concrete floor when he fell, causing a large cut and chipped teeth.
Hudson, according to the affidavit, told investigators he felt Anderson was trying to head-butt him and made a defensive move. Anderson was never charged in the incident.
At first, Hudson was originally suspended by Chief Mike Healy for five days without pay. He was later suspended without pay by an agreement by Hudson's attorney and the Board of Public Works and Safety.
According to city officials Monday, Hudson's status has not changed.
Hudson's attorney, Edward J. Merchant, had no comment on the recent movements.

SAN JOSE, Calif., September 3, 2013 – LSI Corporation (NASDAQ: LSI) today announced it was chosen No. 1 by the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption in the technology, information and research industries on the 2013 Best Adoption-Friendly Workplaces List. This is the fifth consecutive year that the Foundation has ranked LSI first in its industry. LSI also ranked sixth in the nation overall.
The annual Best Adoption-Friendly Workplaces List recognizes 100 companies across the United States that offer outstanding adoption benefits to their employees based on maximum financial reimbursement and paid leave time per adoption. The Foundation gathers its results through an annual survey of U.S. companies.
"Navigating through the adoption process can be a challenge, so we're happy to offer an employee program that can ease some of the financial impact and support such a great outcome," said Gautam Srivastava, senior vice president, Human Resources and Corporate Marketing, LSI. "This ranking by the Dave Thomas Foundation is great recognition of one of our strong employee benefits. Most important are the success stories and the feedback from our employees who tell us how much they appreciate the program and the positive impact it has had on their families and their ability to adopt a child."
LSI employee Kalyn Kovac and his wife took advantage of the benefit to adopt a seven-month-old daughter. "It was very simple and straightforward to apply for, and without it we probably wouldn't have our daughter today," Kovac said. "It's nice to work for a family-friendly company."
The seventh annual Best Adoption-Friendly Workplaces List helps raise awareness for foster care adoption and honors the businesses in the U.S. that are helping to support adoptive families.

Cloud computing has become an integral part of IT for many organizations, and the competing open-source platforms are pushing for a role in advanced cloud management. The overarching goal of both CloudStack and OpenStack is to achieve logical cloud-layer management that presents numerous ways to control various workloads.
Let's dive into the latest and greatest from both players.
Compatible with hypervisors like KVM, vSphere, and XenServer, CloudStack is an open-source cloud management platform designed for creating, controlling, and deploying various cloud services. It already supports the Amazon AWS API model and many other APIs.
What's new: The new version, CloudStack 4.0.2, is the first stable release. Its achievements include improved security, hypervisor agnosticism, and advanced network-layer management.
What's good: Despite what you may have heard, the latest release of CloudStack is actually pretty nice. The deployment is really smooth, with one VM running the CloudStack Management Server and another acting as the actual cloud infrastructure. You could deploy the whole thing on one physical host.
The challenges: This first stable release of CloudStack is great, but it's really new -- four months old. Furthermore, there haven't been any major adopters of the platform yet. Even with these advancements, many have said that the monolithic architecture and installation process (though simplified) still require quite a bit of knowledge and time to deploy.
Who's using it: In July 2012, DataPipe said it was deploying its global cloud infrastructure on CloudStack. Its reasons for moving to the platform include:
In addition to DataPipe, there have been some small but still important CloudStack adopters. These include Shopzilla, SunGard (NYSE: SDS), CloudOps, Citrix Systems Inc. (Nasdaq: CTXS), and WebMD Health.
The general consensus is that CloudStack, despite its rising popularity, still lives in the shadows of OpenStack. There are more organizations moving toward the CloudStack model, but there are still some adoption pains. This platform has just graduated from the Apache Incubation Program.
Managed by the OpenStack Foundation, this platform consists of multiple, interrelated stack-based projects. They all tie into one management interface to provide a cloud computing management platform.
What's new: OpenStack's adoption momentum has been very strong. The latest release of Havana touts improved performance around all major components in the stack. Furthermore, improved API controls allow for even easier cloud platform integration. The stack's networking component (Neutron) now enables users to leverage commodity hardware to create customized, pluggable backend architectures.
What's good: It's definitely a more mature product. More than 150 companies -- including Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD) (NYSE: AMD), Brocade Communications Systems Inc. (Nasdaq: BRCD), IBM Corp. (NYSE: IBM), and VMware Inc. (NYSE: VMW) -- are contributing to development. It's seen as the leader in cloud platform management.
The challenges: Even with so much adoption and development, OpenStack is still challenging to deploy. In many cases, it needs to be managed from various command-line consoles. Eight different modular components -- Compute, Open Storage, Block Storage, Networking, Dashboard, Identity Service, Image server, and Amazon Web Services compatibility -- comprise the fragmented architecture.
Who's using it: This is an impressive and growing list. Jointly launched by NASA and Rackspace US Inc. (NYSE: RAX), OpenStack is utilized by such organizations as CERN, Yahoo, HP Public Cloud, and Red Hat OpenShift.
The struggle continues
The four biggest players in the market currently are OpenStack, CloudStack, Eucalyptus, and OpenNebula. Each is creating new ways for organizations to connect various cloud services. There's no doubt that OpenStack is leading the way right now. However, there is a lot of conversation and maturity happening within the CloudStack space, as well. Whatever the outcome, business IT will certainly benefit.

Why not- showing different parts with different views of American business life is more likely to stimulate them and give them things to compare, contrast, discuss, etc. Taking a section that is harshly critical and one the is warmly supportive could easily be more useful than watching all of just one of them, which would also involve making political/agenda choices on their behalf.

HONOLULU (AP) -- Sack-happy defensive end J.J. Watt went out for a pass as a wide receiver, retiring center Jeff Saturday snapped to two Mannings on opposite teams and the NFC blew past the AFC 62-35 in a Pro Bowl that could be the league's last.
Whether the NFL's all-star game will return or not is a question league officials will ponder the next few months. And, the players gave plenty to consider on both sides of the argument Sunday.
The NFC was unstoppable on offense, with nearly each player putting up fantasy-type lines in limited play. Minnesota tight end Kyle Rudolph was voted the game's MVP with 122 yards and a touchdown.
Watt, who had 201⁄2 sacks for Houston, lined up as a wide receiver on the AFC's third play from scrimmage, but missed a pass from Denver quarterback Peyton Manning.

Penn State pulls away
in second half, 71-56
COLUMBUS -- Maggie Lucas scored 14 of her 18 points in the second half and No. 8 Penn State saved its best for last in beating Ohio State 71-56 on Sunday, the Nittany Lions' 14th consecutive Big Ten win to set a school record.
The victory, in which they outscored the Buckeyes 43-19 after halftime, also gave them their fastest start since the 1993-94 season.
It's the sixth-longest winning streak in program history.
Tayler Hill, the Big Ten's leading scorer, had 28 points for Ohio State (11-9, 1-6), which had won the last six meetings at home against Penn State dating to Feb. 27, 2005. Ameryst Alston added 12.

A Look At How People Are Coping In Tough Times
While President Obama contemplates a big stimulus package to jumpstart the economy, and Tim Geithner was sworn in on Monday as the new Treasury secretary, there is still much uncertainty about the economic landscape and people are wondering if the worst is over, or still yet to come. The entertainment design and technology industry is in the same boat, yet many people are hopeful that things will get back to normal within the coming months.
From the theatre consultants point of view, Jules Lauve, an associate at Theatre Projects Consultants, is quite hopeful: "We've been preparing for a slow down for the last year, and continue to watch the market. We expect that projects that are fully funded or already in construction will move forward. Some projects currently in design may slow down, scale back, or go on hold until funding is secured. Conversely, the slow down makes the bidding environment more favorable and some projects have been accelerated to take advantage of the lower costs. We continue to see new leads every day, so there are certainly new projects being planned."
As for the future, he quips: "Our crystal ball is in the shop, if we knew exactly what will happen, we'd get out of theatre consulting and move to Las Vegas— wait, check that, they ain't doin' too good there either…Taking a broad view of things, the slowdown that we have noticed seems to be distributed fairly evenly across all sectors. As for staffing, we are simply holding steady."
Lighting designer Herrick Goldman is the owner of his own small business, HG Lighting Design Inc. In terms of projects for 2009 he reports, "Generally I'm seeing more theatre and fewer large corporate events. Usually my work is 60% corporate and 40% theater/art. I'm currently doing two Off Broadway shows, and one show in Virginia Beach. I had to turn down a musical in Alexandria, VA, and I just got asked to design a Broadway benefit for Prop 8. These for me are more artistically oriented and lower budget."
On the corporate side he notes: "Madame Tussauds is a client and they asked me for a quote two weeks ago on a relatively small project. They usually approve very quickly but I am still waiting on that. January is always slow and usually March and April pick up so the phone rings the first week of February. I usually get some trickle down from Fashion Week, as in last minute parties and events or a spontaneous show that didn't bother to call the big guys soon enough. We'll see how that shakes out in the next few weeks."
In terms of a squeeze due to the economy, Goldman has had a few things downgrade in scale and one event was cancelled. "I've seen one Off Broadway show keep pushing back, but it will still go forward," he says, noting that "I haven't had anyone ask me to lower my fees, but if it meant keeping a gig or keeping one or two of my associates on the gig I would probably consider it." Goldman also notes that he is getting two to three resumes a week, which he says is "more than usual so it seems the young, assistant level, designers are hurting. People definitely seem to be thinking twice about spending, but there is no lack of requests to design. I'm not getting rich but I am feeling artistically fulfilled and busy!"
Not all designers feel so optimistic. One designer/programmer who asked to remain anonymous paints a rather bleak picture: "This business is f**king brutal right now. I don't know how I'm going to pay rent these next couple of months. In fact, I'm moving to a different apartment when my lease is up because it's so bad. The end of the year showed a ton of clients just not paying their bills or stretching their terms to the point of sucking the profits out of it all. Corporate shows have evaporated. Installations have been put on indefinite hold. The touring market has freaked out to the point of not doing anything until the second half of the year. I think that by March everything will be back in action but these next few months are going to be really tough for everyone."

---- — The first presidential debate of the year takes place tonight, and we urge everyone to tune in and listen with an open mind.
The vitriol has been high this election year. People don't seem to want to listen to opposing viewpoints, instead trying to bury anyone who disagrees with them under an avalanche of negativity.
This is a chance to hear firsthand about the domestic-policy plans of Democratic President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Gov. Mitt Romney.
Tonight's debate from the University at Denver starts at 9 p.m. and can be seen on all the network stations plus a number of cable networks.
Turn it on, and really listen. You will go into the voting booth better prepared.

Fifty years ago it would have been a much different scene in Downtown Jackson as men and women stepped off a Greyhound Bus.
It's the same place as the original location of the Trailways Bus Station where in 1961, the very first bus of freedom riders arrived, testing federal interstate travel laws in the Deep South.
Many were beaten and arrested after stepping off.
Now, five decades later, they're stepping off for a much different reason.
To honor their efforts and triumph over segregation; elected leaders, activists, supporters, and students from around the country packed the site where the planetarium now stands.
For one of those original riders, Hank Thomas, being back at the site was a way to say thanks to the local riders who he says don't get enough credit.
"You and I when we got out of Parchman, we went back to our hometowns, they had to remain here and many of them suffered reprisals; lest we forget, these are the real heroes," Thomas said.
The legacy left behind by folks like Thomas is now merely a history lesson to Tougaloo College student Curtis Stanard, a lesson now come to life.
"We really get the history lesson in full force and we actually get to see it rather than just read about it and research it," Stanard said.
For student Deanna Ford the trip all the way from New York City is worth it, to see history in human form.
"When you're here, actually get to meet them," Ford said. "They get to share their stories with you and you get to have a conversation with them to know what it's really like, you feel what they went through."
Meanwhile, Mississippians are thanking the riders for a state they call home.
"The Mississippi that we enjoy and are so proud of today is the direct legacy of the people who put themselves on the line in the sixties," said Jackson resident Jay Wiener.
The riders of the past are now calling on the leaders of the future, urging young generations to keep the wheels of civil rights rolling.

It's a hiring spree at one local company.
With more than 500 employees at their Lincoln call center, Verizon Wireless is seeking even more help.
"Right now, we're hiring approximately 12 individuals per month," Associate Customer Service Director Jeff DeBrie said.
The technology giant is looking to add more than 100 customer service representatives throughout the year. It's a role that includes answering phones and helping customers with questions or concerns.
All in what employees call a positive workplace with an upbeat culture.
"We like to have fun. We like to be energetic," Heather DeGroot said.
"We stand behind our employees and our business and what we do each day. I can't imagine being anywhere else."
If you need a break from the phone, there's an on-site fitness center plus a full service cafeteria.
There's also a 401(k) program and tuition assistance. The company says it's a great place to start or further a career in an industry that's constantly evolving.
"Everything is always changing," DeBrie said.
"We don't think of ourselves as a cell phone company anymore, we're more of a technology company. With the fast pace things are moving, it's not only a fun environment, but you get to see things change and technology grow all the time."
For information and application details, visit www.verizonwireless.com.
Verizon's Lincoln call center opened its doors in 2007. They're hopeful that one day the call center will eventually employ up to 800 people.

Jeff BuckleySubmitted by chloelake on Mon, 08/11/2014 - 16:50
Interviews with Buckley expose his unpredictable character ranging from quiet and guarded to candid and revealing. Either way, one thing's for sure: Jeff Buckley could never be relied on for an easy interview.
"He had a whole mythology that was kind of growing up around him," musician Jen Cloher remembers. "He was a bit edgy. You couldn't quite categorise Jeff Buckley. I think there was a bit of intrigue as well. Who was this guy? It was really fresh."
Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell, who was a friend of Buckley's, says he possessed a star quality.
"What made him that person? I have no idea. But he was that person," he recalls.
"He was this amazing, unique kind of spirit that everyone was kind of drawn to. He had that quality that superstars have. But he unfortunately didn't live long enough for that to be exposed to everyone."

While in some parts of the world – his native USA among them – Buckley became a musical hero in the wake of his tragic death, Australia embraced him as a superstar while he was alive.
Jeff Buckley's mother Mary Guibert assured triple j in 1998 that the love we showed Buckley was not only acknowledged but very much reciprocated.
"He loved Australia, adored Australia," she said. "It was so exciting for him to be there, the response was that palpable for him.
"He really wasn't ready for the depth of the response. It was really gratifying to him. There's something about the Aussie spirit, that kind of independence, that struck a harmonic note with Jeff. He was always so experimental that he didn't always get that really roaring enthusiastic reception in the US, which was alright with him. He liked just being a songwriter and admired for his singing and having a controlled following rather than some kind of raging success.
"But the genuine nature I think of the [Australian] reception, just the way the fans responded to him in concert, the feeling he would get from the people in that performance experience, which he loved to do in the first place, was really a strong and powerful one. It was good for him."
He visited Australia twice in his relatively short career. A short promo tour that saw him in small clubs in Sydney and Melbourne in August and September 1995. Just five months later he had a mammoth theatre tour, selling out some of the biggest rooms around the country, sometimes repeatedly.
The reviews were largely glowing.
"With Jeff's first tour in 1995, there was a considerable level of excitement and anticipation," triple j Music Director Richard Kingsmill remembers. "Australia had had plenty of time to live with Grace, it had been out for exactly a year before his live show got here.
"Everyone knows now that Grace is a classic. But even after a year of it being out, he was still more a cult artist getting great reviews than he was a superstar. The shows booked in Australia on that first tour were pretty modest size rooms – nothing like the big theatres he played on his follow up tour here in 1996."
Kingsmill remembers the opening show of that first, intimate tour at The Metro in Sydney.
"It's fair to say the crowd was full of as many local musicians as there were punters," he says. "As soon as he started playing, and then when he sang, the room was his for the next 90 minutes. It was, and still is, as close to a perfect concert I've ever seen. He knew this was an important show and that there was a lot riding on it for his growing popularity here.
"He and his band were on fire that night. All in his camp agreed afterwards it was a good one. For me, when towards the end of the night he started dropping in really challenging covers like Big Star's 'Kangaroo', it had gone way beyond being just a great gig. It was simply a thrill to be a music fan and there that night to soak it all up."
Wendy Tuohy raved about Buckley's return to Australia, writing for The Age in February 1996.
Best night ever, seeing JB at the Phoenician Club. Tiny venue, up close. Blew our minds. @DoubleJRadio #jfiles— Clare Gabriel (@claregabriel) August 28, 2014
"A fragile figure with a boy's white arms told us wrenching stories of loss, pain and aching," she wrote.
"He used a musical language so beautiful - and sang at times in a voice as rich but tortured as a male Nina Simone - that the pain became a thing of beauty.
"We do not know the exact origins of Jeff Buckley's intensity, or what causes the compressed tension that sometimes makes him rigid at the microphone, but the 'lots of bad things' he speaks about to journalists, the 'lots of irreparable damage... the agony of learning all over again' certainly came through in his coiled-spring stage presence."
Grace has spent 52 weeks in the ARIA charts since its release, even sitting in the top ten back in 1995. The record only managed 149th spot in his native US, though Buckley's mother believes this was due to his label wanting to build his profile slowly.
"Part of that was by intention, I'm sure," she said. "I've seen the marketing plans all throughout and they were all a very low-key, take it easy, let Jeff develop kind of thing."
There was truly an affinity between the artist and the people of this country. If you ever poured your heart out to Jeff Buckley via fan mail, there's a good chance he took what you wrote to heart.
He got a lot of very touching letters from Australian fans which he kept as keepsakes. And he was not a keeper of things.Mary Guibert, Jeff Buckley's mother
"He got a lot of fan mail from the Australian fans too," Guibert said. "He got a lot of very touching letters from Australian fans which he kept as keepsakes. And he was not a keeper of things. But there were some really powerful letters that he got from some of the Australian fans about how his music touched them. I think that really endeared them to him as well."
Photographer Merri Cyr was a close friend of Buckley's throughout his life and took the iconic photo that adorns Grace's front cover. She also attests to how much the singer loved our country.
"I know Jeff loved Australia, particularly he loved Melbourne," she remembers. "He talked about that quite a bit. Australians really connected with Jeff immediately and embraced him, they loved him.
"I'm glad he got to experience that while he was alive. Not just adulation, but the love."
Wait In The Fire...Submitted by chloelake on Thu, 08/28/2014 - 10:44
1994's Grace was Jeff Buckley's only studio album. While collections of material – demos, live recordings, rejected studio sessions – all surfaced after his passing, he left just one finished LP behind at the time.
The album was made at Bearsville Studio in Woodstock, New York, with Andy Wallace, whose production credits at the time were largely for heavy metal and punk rock bands. Making the record in the country was a way of keeping Buckley from distraction, allowing him to channel all of his energy and love of experimentation into making the record.
"I didn't know how beautiful the place would be before I got there," Buckley explained when Grace was released. "I went up there and the place is king, it's absolutely great. So we set up there and we worked for like five or six weeks."
The core band for the Grace sessions featured Buckley, bassist Mick Grondahl and drummer Matt Johnson, three musicians who had known each other for just six weeks before heading to the studio.
"The whole process of this album was ass-backwards," Buckley said. "The studio was chosen, the producer was chosen, didn't have a band. I thought I'd get it together by that time. I knew I was gonna work with Andy before we got anything solid. We talked about how to record things and the way I wanted to do it. I wanted to get a big room, with the band and the material, 12 mics, live. Virtually we did that."
The recording space was setup in a way that would allow for the band's ever-changing dynamic, according to author Daphne A. Brooks.
"Wallace and the group set up two different full band recording situations – for louder and softer ensemble playing with two different sets of drums all miked up and set to go at any time. Wallace was always ready with tape rolling," Brooks wrote in her book Jeff Buckley's Grace, part of the 33 1/3 series.
"An additional third performance area with microphones was set up with a riser, similar to a small stage in a cafe. From time to time Jeff would sit down and play songs.
"There was no set plan or schedule for these recordings, but these sessions clearly provided a fluid bridge between Buckley's solo work and the structure for his new experimentation with the band."
Many consider Grace to be a classic album. It gets the kind of praise reserved only for truly game-changing records. It has earned countless five-star reviews, frequently appears at the pointy end of "best album" polls and has no shortage of glowing recommendations.
"I still think it's one of my all time favourite albums. It's just timeless," Big Scary's Tom Iansek says. "I think you can put it on now and it doesn't sound dated. I guess this just comes down to the quality of the songs. They're that good that they still have relevance and they still bring up the same emotions and evoke the same feelings as they did years ago."
Jen Cloher agrees.
"Grace is an album that stands up today, it's a classic," she says.
To adequately express my love for Jeff Buckley's 'Grace' I'd need to create an album just like Jeff Buckley's 'Grace'. @DoubleJRadio #jfiles— Aaron Charles Ellis (@bigibila) August 29, 2014
"It's a classic album and I think it will go down in the history books – it already has – as one of the most accomplished debut albums of all time. Amazing songs."
Speaking to Mojo magazine in 1997, Patti Smith Group guitarist and Nuggets co-curator Lenny Kaye said Grace was merely hinting at bigger things to come.
"Grace was a great beginning, staking out all the stylistic territory," he said. "I think he was getting ready to make his first real record, working out what he wanted to say without letting that wonderful voice distract people from his internal emotion. I'm sure he wanted to be more than just a pretty face and voice. He had a vast plain to work in and he never really got to work it."
Songs To No OneSubmitted by chloelake on Thu, 08/28/2014 - 10:57
On his first Australian tour in August 1995, Jeff Buckley visited triple j to talk to Richard Kingsmill about six songs that mattered to him at that time.
Music's power was clearly important to Buckley, as it was something he would connect to the key moments in his life.
"Music needs time to live in and sometimes that time is a memory, a childhood memory or a really dramatic memory of a fight, a loss, a death, a birth, a movie," he said. "Something totally ordinary – if a song captures it, those are the things that keep time in your life.
"The day I heard 'How Soon Is Now', the day I heard 'Yeh Jo Halka Halka Suroor' by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, the night I heard Górecki's Third Symphony, the day I heard 'Ain't No Mountain High Enough'..."
Diana Ross – 'Ain't No Mountain High Enough'
Buckley began by recalling hearing Diana Ross' version of the classic soul song 'Ain't No Mountain High Enough' as a five-year-old boy.
"Fullerton, California. Pritchard St house. We lived next to a railroad track and an airport simultaneously," he reflected. "My mother had a garage full of weird clothing she would make and she had her own business called Elegant Funk. I would roll joints for my parents."
When Kingsmill asked if his childhood was good, Buckley's response spoke volumes.
"Eh," he shrugged. "It was a childhood."
The Grifters – 'Get Outta That Spaceship & Fight Like A Man'
Jeff Buckley's love of The Grifters is well acknowledged, particularly by his Australian fans. He loved the band so much that, on his second tour of Australia in 1996, he brought them along to open the shows.
Buckley was first turned on to the Memphis indie rockers in the live arena.
"For some reason we ended up in Iowa City and opening up for us was The Dambuilders, a really rocking band from Boston, and The Grifters and then us. I don't know what the hell happened – it shouldn't have been like that, but it was and that was how I saw The Grifters. It was just great."
Vocalist David Shouse's emotion is intense in this track, a trait Buckley seemed to admire above all others.
"Dave's voice... He hurts real bad. He hurts real good."
Bad Brains – 'How Low Can A Punk Get'
You wouldn't expect Jeff Buckley to be a hardcore punk aficionado after hearing his achingly beautiful songs, but Bad Brains were an important part of Buckley's introduction to New York City.
"It was D.C. hardcore and New York hardcore and hardcore all over the place. They just came out and they were so ahead of everything it seemed. Not ahead, they just nailed it.
"My introduction to New York for the first time, the first thing I heard was 'Re-Ignition', that changed my life. I Against I, that whole album...
"But the first Bad Brains album is the one that I love the most. It took a while for me to get into Rock For Light 'cos there's a lot of the same songs as on the first one and it's produced by Ric Ocasek from The Cars and it sounds really bright and clear, whereas the first one sounds muddy and evil. But I learnt to like it because there's songs on it you can't get anywhere else, such as this one."
Jon Spencer Blues Explosion – 'Blues X Man'
Jeff Buckley was a well-known figure around New York's Lower East Side. So it stands to reason that he was familiar with the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, another popular act formed in that area around the same time Buckley was cutting his teeth at Sin-é.
Buckley hadn't yet seen the band live, but he certainly had some ideas about what it might be like.
"I pretend I'm Judah Bauer naked in my apartment sometimes," he told Kingsmill. "Sometimes I pretend I'm the back-up girls on this song."
Shudder To Think – 'Track Star'
Pony Express Record was the first album Washington D.C. punks Shudder To Think released on a major label. It was 1996 and labels were still taking chances with loud, unique bands in the hope of another Nevermind. Shudder To Think never reached such lofty heights, but the record, mixed by Grace producer Andy Wallace, was an artistic triumph and remains critically adored.
"They used to be based out of D.C. now some of them are in New York. People think that I'm good. But this is a person, these are some people that I think are really good, really beautiful. You've never heard anything like this. There are too many things to choose from on this one, but I especially adore 'Track Star' – you'll see."
The Patti Smith Group – 'Ain't It Strange'
Buckley was a huge Patti Smith fan. One little known fact is that Patti Smith had a profound influence on the now iconic cover of Grace, Merri Cyr explains.
"The image that was chosen for the album cover was an image that I didn't even notice on the contact sheets, and that I hadn't even made a proof of," she told Double J when asked about the now iconic shot.
"Jeff pointed his finger to it and said 'I want that one'. The reason he liked that photograph was that he could tell he was listening to music in that photograph. He could see in the image that he was listening to music.
"We were listening at that time that the shot was taken to a Patti Smith album, Horses. It was a funny thing, we both brought the same CD to the shoot that day. He was really digging into the music, so I got that moment. That's why he chose the image."
'Ain't It Strange' is from Smith's 1976 album, Radio Ethiopia. Buckley initially said there were no words that he could use to describe the power of the song, but then couldn't resist trying to articulate what made it so special.
"This song sounds like a song of devotion in its strength," he said. "Her voice and her music and her words are all equally special and strange and penetrating and understanding. They all integrate.
"I can't separate her from her voice, I look at a picture of her and I can only imagine that sound coming out. Like a force of nature."
The Man That Got AwaySubmitted by chloelake on Thu, 08/28/2014 - 11:03
Jeff Buckley's father was revered folk singer Tim Buckley. The two were estranged up until Jeff was eight years old, at which point Jeff's mother took her son to see the folk hero perform live.
The two Buckleys spent a few days together following that show, but Tim died just a couple of months later from an overdose of alcohol and heroin.
Jeff could never shirk the unwelcome comparisons to his father that he garnered all throughout his career.
"It always came up," Merri Cyr remembers. "At his shows a lot of Tim fans would be requesting Tim songs. They'd say 'Play 'I Never Asked to be Your Mountain'' or something and he'd be like 'Fuck you!'. He just kept comparing himself to Tim and I think that's a sad thing."
Cyr noticed an element of competition that Jeff had with his father's legacy.
"I think there was this time when he was about 27, I remember him telling me 'By the time my dad was this age, he had seven albums already and he had slept with more beautiful women then I ever will'. So I think, unfortunately, he was in some competition with his father, but he didn't know his father so it was... I don't know if it's oedipal, but it's kind of definitely mythological."
Mary Guibert believes that Buckley was beginning to become more comfortable being compared to his father, despite his early frustrations.
"I think he was becoming more comfortable with the constant comparison," she said. "He certainly was getting to a point where he could understand how a young man of 18, at the beginning of his career, could find it difficult to break through the wall that you build over the years between yourself and an estranged son, in the way that he and Tim were estranged.
"I think, in the process of becoming a man himself, he was able to understand and accept more the way things turned out and be more at peace with that. I think if Tim were alive today he would be so proud of his son. And if you were to ask Jeff, he'd be proud of what his father accomplished. He just felt that they both deserved to have their own place."
Despite their stylistic differences, Guibert said the way the two men approached their music was almost identical.
"I think the one thing that impressed him the most about his father's work was that it was really true to him, it was an extension of himself. He didn't hold anything back. In those two ways they were similar. But not because one was influenced by the other, they were just simply that way on their own. As individuals."
Guibert's comments echo a sentiment Buckley expressed to Rolling Stone in 1994.
"Separated all our lives, and now I'm right there in the [CD] bin next to him," he said. "His thing should stand on its own, so should mine. Otherwise, how else could I bring honour to it?"
Mystery White BoySubmitted by chloelake on Thu, 08/28/2014 - 11:06
It's an easy, but fair, assertion that Jeff Buckley was complicated. His varied influences, his complex relationship with his father's legacy, the strange way in which his one true studio record was made and the deeply spiritual connection he had to music, that he often struggled to verbalise, all examples of this.
There can be no denying that the mythology of Jeff Buckley is a part of his appeal.
But what will always loom largest about Jeff Buckley is the 51-minute opus that is Grace, from the sweet, sustained harmonics that usher in the delicately beautiful 'Mojo Pin' to that one final falsetto croon that closes 'Dream Brother'. This will forever be Buckley at his most pure to his legions of current fans and the many who will continue to discover him in the years to come.
For a career that was so short, Jeff Buckley has left us with so much.
"Being a guy that's been to a lot of funerals for young people, the discussion comes up – the light that burns twice as bright burns half as long," Chris Cornell says.
"That's the way you treat the notion of a person that does well before they should. It's usually BS, it's usually a way of everybody just kinda dealing with it and feeling better about what happened. But in his case it was very true."

Possibility, Necessity, and Chance
Possibility is a central topic in contemporary and classical metaphysics. It is often taken up along with necessity. Since the two of them represent two modes of existence of an entity, possibility and necessity are also said modalities – to be more exact, they are alethic modalities, that is they are those modalities that pertain to truth and falsity.
In ordinary discourse, possibility is often associated with chance: to say that a certain scenario is possible is to associate some non-zero degree of chance for it to take place. However, philosophically speaking, it is standard to keep the two notions separate. On one hand we have the issue of defining what is it that possible entities are and how we can know about them, on the other we have the issue of assigning a probability to such scenarios taking place. The latter task is often left to some sort of scientific calculation, or to a calculation based on what we have so far observed; whether a scenario is possible or not, however, may be settled in ways that are independent from our past observations.
The Metaphysical Enigma of Possibility
You are reading those words at this time, but it was possible you would have been doing something else right now. This article may have not existed. Or your day may have developed differently. An argument such as this seems plausible, at least prima facie; but, on the basis of what may it be true? That is, take the sentence: "You may have not been reading this sentence at this time" and suppose that it is true: what makes it true? After all, you have been reading the sentence right then: that event took place and so any judgment about its possibly not happening must be based on evidence that is not what was the case.
Judgments of possibility concerning scenarios that run counter to what in fact happens in our world – also called counterfactual scenarios – are quite common. You say a word too many to your friend and immediately think: "Ah, if I would have shut up that would have been better!" Or, your favorite sport team gets very close to win a match, but loses or ties at the very last moment. In each of those circumstances, we may wonder – if the scenario we envisage was really possible, without it having existed, what is such scenario?
The Epistemic Enigma of Possibility
Possibility, however, is an enigma also from an epistemic point of view. If some possible scenarios have never be realized (only a tiny fraction of that which seems possible, indeed, becomes actual), how do we know that they were possible? How do we gather knowledge about possibility?
You may often tell whether a philosopher is an empiricist or a rationalist by looking at how she answers the question raised above. The typical empiricist reply will appeal to past evidence: if you believe that a scenario is possible it is because you have observed scenarios in the past that resembled the one in question. A rationalist will typically be, at least in part, dissatisfied with such an answer: some scenarios that we may deem possible are so far fetched from actual scenarios that our knowledge of them cannot be based on past evidence.
The dispute is alive and kicking. Stay tuned.

It was a day of close calls and hard-fought battles as nearly 500 teams competed in this year's wet and wild Ski to Sea race Sunday, May 26.
"That was a race and a half," said Klicks Running & Walking downhill skier Jon Ralston, of Bellingham. "Everyone was just hammering all-out today."
Klicks battled Beavers Tree Service for the Whatcom County Open title from the top of the mountain down to Bellingham Bay.
"We had the first leg, they had the second leg," said Kirk Christensen, the kayaker for Klicks. "It was back and forth the whole time."
Klicks captain and team runner Sam Alexander said four seconds separated the two teams at the start of the mountain bike leg.
"This is the best battle we've had in several years," Alexander said.
The title was still up for grabs as the jittery kayakers bounced around and traded good-natured taunts in the hand-off area at Zuanich Point Park while they waited for mountain bikes to arrive.
"We weren't sure if we would have a race at this point, but omigod we have got a race," said an excited Brandon Nelson, the Beavers kayaker, as he awaited his chance to get on the water.
Klicks had beaten Beavers in the previous two years, Nelson said.
This time, Beavers edged out Klicks at the finish line. An exultant Nelson yanked the rope off one of the bells when he rang it at the finish line at Marine Park in Bellingham.
"It was my dream race. We have not been at the top of the podium for Whatcom County since 2010. This was our year to regain it," Nelson said. "What a race. Beavers Tree Service is back on top of the podium, baby."
In the Competitive Open division, the race was once again a showdown between Barron Heating and Team Aeromech. Barron has won the overall race 11 times since 1996, including last year.
Barron won the race by seconds in 2012. This year, it won by a comfortable lead when Barron kayaker Zsolt Szadovszki crossed the finish line first.
"The team did it for me this year," said Szadovszki, who lives in Honolulu. "I just did what I had to do."
Aven Construction won the Whatcom County Mixed division.
The race was a nail-biter for the top competitive women's teams as well. Boundary Bay Women was able to finish first in the category for the 14th year in a row, edging out A Gift of Dance/Fast and Female.
"It was neck and neck," said Boundary Bay's runner Somer Willson, who came from Calgary, Canada, to compete. "I think this was the closest it's ever been. It made for an exciting day."
Though Fast and Female's kayaker was in the water first, Boundary's kayaker, Tracy Landboe of Seattle, was able to pull ahead early on in the leg.
"She was in front of me, so I had someone to chase down," Landboe said. "I just hit the water full speed, hoping I could catch her."
Kulshan Cycles came in first in the Whatcom County Women's division.
Kulshan's kayaker, Heather Nelson, said the race was a blast, especially knowing that the team competed so strongly with Olympic-level athletes from all over the world.
"We take a lot of pride in being all local girls and showing what our local talent is," Nelson, of Bellingham, said.
