New Atlanticist
The sixth annual Energy & Economic Summit began with a welcome by Atlantic Council Chairman Jon M. Huntsman, Jr., President and CEO Frederick Kempe, Ambassador of the United States to the Republic of TurkeyJohn Bass, and Summit Director Orhan Taner.
Keynote speakers at the opening session at the Grand Tarabya Hotel on the Bosphorus were US Energy SecretaryErnest Moniz, EU Commissioner for Climate Action and Energy Miguel Arias Caﺣﺎete, and Turkish Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Taner Yﺥﺎldﺥﺎz.
Frederick Kempe kicked off the proceedings, saying that ﻗwe hope this summit will give [business leaders and policymakers] new ideasﻗ to tackle global challenges to energy security and political stability.
Governor Jon M. Huntsman, Jr. echoed Kempeﻗs call to action, focusing his remarks on two key obstacles facing the energy sector today: turmoil in Iraq and Russiaﻗs ongoing aggression in Ukraine that threatens the vision of a Europe ﻗwhole, free, and at peace.ﻗ
US Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz wrapped up the opening session by expanding on the Summitﻗs theme of turbulence. He described turbulence as a flow characterized by unpredictability and said that, if harnessed properly, this moment of turbulence could be an impetus for many positive changes in the energy sector.
Following the opening session, Secretary Moniz and Turkish Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Taner Yﺥﺎldﺥﺎz signed a Memorandum of Understanding on wind energy, demonstrating their countriesﻗ shared commitment to pursuing renewable energy sources.
ﻗEnergy security is the collective responsibility of allies and friends,ﻗ said Secretary Moniz, while Minister Yﺥﺎldﺥﺎz discussed the vital interplay between energy, politics, and economics around the globe.
In the afternoon, Iraqi Oil Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi and Kurdistan Regional Government Minister of Natural Resources Ashti Hawrami participated in a session on ﻗChallenges to Stability and Energy Production in Iraq.ﻗ According to Minister Abdul Mahdi, improved oil production in Kurdistan is beneficial to Iraq because ﻗKurdistan is part of Iraq.ﻗ
The summit, which continues tomorrow, features keynote remarks by Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Ali Babacan and former US National Security Advisor Gen. James L. Jones, Jr., USMC (Ret.).
The two-day event features more than 400 Ministers, business leaders, opinion makers, and industry experts representing more than forty countries.

Deadline in Talks Likely to Be Extended, Says Former US Ambassador Thomas Pickering
As international negotiators approach next weekﻗs self-imposed deadline for reaching a compromise to let Iran pursue a nuclear program, US and French former officials told Atlantic Council forums this week that a deal could offer new advantages in the Middle East.
An agreement could create an opportunity for a US-Iranian ﻗopen relationshipﻗ on confronting militant threats in Iraq and Afghanistan, Ambassador Thomas Pickering told a November 19 forum at the Council in Washington. ﻗFor the first time, the United States and Iran have gotten down to the wire, along with our European and Russian and Chinese colleagues, to something that could in one way or another generate, if not a sea change, certainly a major shift in the situation in the region,ﻗ said Pickering, a former undersecretary of state for political affairs.
We can expect Ukraineﻗs parliament, the Verkhovna Rada, to meet this week to vote on the countryﻗs new government. The political parties of President Petro Poroshenko, Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk and their allies are close to completing negotiations and announcing their choices for the new Cabinet of Ministers. Critically, a delegation is in Kyiv from the International Monetary Fund, upon which Ukraine must rely for the cash to see it through multi-layered crises. The IMF has insisted upon meeting with the new cabinet before the fundﻗs team leaves Kyiv on November 25.
Below are many of the key appointments now under discussion, following Yatsenyukﻗs presentation of his candidates on Friday, according to the Atlantic Councilﻗs Kyiv-based senior fellow, Brian Mefford. You can see Brianﻗs full list at his blog.
Colonel Igor Girkin Presses Kremlin to Expand Its War Through Southern and Eastern Ukraine
ﻗThe Shooterﻗ is back. Colonel Igor Girkin, the career Russian intelligence officer who disappeared three months ago from his leading role in the Russian-sponsored war against Ukraine, has burst anew into Russiaﻗs news headlines. He has given a spate of interviews in which he presses Russiaﻗs government to step up direct military support for the two ﻗpeopleﻗs republicsﻗ it is backing in southeastern Ukraine.
Boosting the Worldﻗs Economy Needs Action, Notably From EuropeﻗNot Another Predictable Summit Communique
National leaders of the Group of Twenty met in Brisbane, Australia over the weekend to deliver an action plan for global economic growth and employment. Topping the agenda were items such as boosting job growth, investment to renew infrastructure , and improving the participation of minorities, immigrants, and women in the labor market. Yet, historically speaking, these meetings rarely result in actual progress or follow-through, unless there is a clear urgency.
Mutual Vow Won't Slash Greenhouse Gas Emissions, But May Help Advance More Serious Accords
The US-China climate change deal unveiled by President Barack Obama and Chinaﻗs President Xi Jinping this week in Beijing has been heralded as a historic breakthrough in the effort to reduce climate change. But is it?
A Tiny State, Vulnerable over Its Water Supply, Turns Weakness into Strength
A four-week dry spell wouldnﻗt be a crisis in most Southeast Asian countries, but when February became Singaporeﻗs driest month in 150-plus years, the city-stateﻗs six million people were reminded sharply that water scarcity has become a core national security issue. Singapore has been uncomfortably dependent for its water supplies since the 1960s, when, on the eve of independence, it signed two agreements to import its water from the neighboring Malaysian state of Johor.
As the US Congress Reconvenes, It and Europe Must Respond to the Kremlinﻗs Coming Offensive in Ukraine
Russia has moved a massive wave of tanks, armored personnel carriers, and artillery into Ukraineﻗs Donbas region in recent days, accompanied by new uniformed troops without insignia, to bolster the armed forces of the Russian-sponsored Donetsk and Lugansk Peoplesﻗ Republics.
This military escalation follows Moscowﻗs political support for pretended elections to consolidate the two mini-states, a step that Europe and the US regard as a fundamental violation of the Minsk peace process launched in August. Ominously, evidence is growing that this buildup is preparing a new offensive by Russian President Vladimir Putin in his war against Ukraineﻗa campaign of attrition against Ukraineﻗs economically fragile state.
Indeed, bilateral trade between China and the three most affected countries ﻗ Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea ﻗ is estimated around $5.1 billion.
As the Ebola outbreak became more global in nature, the world community started coming together to develop a coordinated response. China, on the other hand, continued to provide aid to a select few West African nations in its typical bilateral fashion with little regard for the nature of the health crisis.

Poems by Lawrence S. Pertillar : 1800 / 16020
Decisions I Make Seem To Catch Me Daring
I feel exhausted!
I feel accosted with a pushing of myself,
Beyond limits reached.
Beyond those limits I sought to seek,
With an outdoing to prove...
Barriers and boundaries I could move.
If I chose to do it.
Decisions I make seem to catch me daring.
And from each peak,
There is another to discover that keeps me...
Unsatisfied to sit and look.
To wonder if I should and could,
Silence my doubts.
With a listening to my faith that says,
'Go ahead!
When was the last time doubt stopped you? '

Adidas may have won the World Cup, but it is losing in the eyes of investors. The company has announced a disappointing first-half finish amid great expectations.
Shares in the world's No. 2 sports gear maker plummeted 4.4 percent to 55.52 euros ($74.25) in the second quarter, a low not seen since July 2012, Adidas said Thursday.
Earnings from North America and Asia in the first half of the year fell far short of analysts' expectations, weighed down by huge advertising costs during the 2014 FIFA World Cup and slumping demand for golf equipment in the US.
Despite sponsoring the winning team in the most-watched sports event in the world, sales have barely risen and profits slumped in the second quarter, according to Adidas Group CEO Herbert Hainer.
The Herzogenaurach, Germany-based company was able to cash in on its sponsorships and fan jerseys during the World Cup, but it said rising production and marketing costs and reduced demand for golf equipment in the US offset those gains.
Adidas has been battling Nike for the North American market, where its sales have dropped 14 percent. In Asia, excluding China, business declined by 7 percent, Adidas said.
In all, net revenue in the first half of the year sank 2 percent to nearly 7 billion euros, despite booming sales in Russia and other eastern European countries.
Second-quarter earnings were also dragged down by a decline in the ruble's value amid the Russian-Ukrainian crisis. The company admitted to underestimating the situation affecting both countries.
el/cjc (Reuters, dpa)
From 2016, women must hold 30 percent of corporate board positions in some of Germany's biggest listed companies. The agreement on a legal quota came after talks among Chancellor Angela Merkel's coalition parties.
EU sources say the European Commission has agreed a much touted plan to inject 315 billion euros into the EU's ailing economy. But critics questioned its power to kick-start growth and tackle record unemployment.

(more pictures available)
Larsen Elemetary 5th graders got the chance to go visit Olymipc Park in Park City this week. They had fun learning more about when the Olympics came to Utah in 2002. The students learned about many of the athletes that competed in the 2002 Winter Olympics and also the many different sports that were a part of it. Some 5th graders got to test out the bobsled and other equipment. Way to go 5th Graders!
Brockbank Fifth-graders Meet Spanish Fork Police Department's K9 Dog
(more pictures available)
Tuesday, November 4, Brockbank fifth-graders had the opportunity to meet Spanish Fork Police Department's K9 dog "Lord" and his trainer/handler Officer Cory Grover. Students got to see some of the things Lord is trained to do in helping in drug detection and apprehension of criminals. Officer Bryon DeWitt who teaches D.A.R.E. to the fifth-graders wore a padded suit so students could see some of Lord's training. The students really enjoyed having Officer Grover come and speak to them and to see Lord.
Veterans Visit Riverview
(more pictures available)
To honor Veteran's Day, Riverview students had the privilege to meet veterans. The veterans introduced themselves and presented a patriotic slide show. Mrs. Nelson led Riverview students in singing a patriotic song. Students brought pictures of veterans and posted them on the school walls. We appreciate the sacrifices veterans have made so we can be free.
Veteran's Day at Spanish Oaks Elementary School
(more pictures available)
We had the amazing opportunity of having our very own Spanish Fork Veterans join us for a Veteran's Day Assemby as we showed our love and appreciation for those in the service everywhere who have fought for the freedom of our country. It was extra special to have Maren Christensen, one of our own staff, play taps as the flag was retired.
Several of our veterans were also called "grandpa" as they were joined by their grandchildren that attend our school. What a great picture! Our thanks and blessings go out to soldiers everywhere as they serve this great country of America!
Natural History Museum of Utah Field Trip
(more pictures available)
Have you ever wondered what all the layers of rock in our mountains are called or how different types of butterflies and insects are native to our area? Well, last Friday, Miss Hanks took a group of 100 biology students on a quest for knowledge to the Natural History Museum of Utah, an architectural marvel and a case study in the "green" design created by community generosity. The museum illuminates the natural world and the place of humans within it.
Students were given the assignment to create a brochure about the museum using anything they found in it. They were to take pictures, notes and record highlights to create the finished product. The students were given a choice of one feature, multiple aspects or the museum as a whole.
Permanent exhibitions include SKY, NATIVE VOICES, LIFE, LAND, FIRST PEOPLES, GEMS AND MINERALS, GREAT SALT LAKE, PAST WORLDS, AND UTAH FUTURES. There is currently a special exhibition called THE HORSE. All of the exhibitions are situated on five levels of the museum and flow together naturally. There are many areas of the museum in which active engagement is encouraged through technology and other hands-on means. Some students even had the opportunity to walk a part of the Bonneville Shoreline Trail as there is a trailhead immediately in front of the museum. This included a beautiful view of the Salt Lake Valley.
After the museum, the students ate lunch at City Creek Center and enjoyed the sunshine the day provided. Overall, the exhibits provided something for each student to learn and enriched our knowledge of Utah's natural wonders and how they were created over millions of years.
Thank you, Miss Hanks!
Veterans Visit Brockbank
(more pictures available)
Tuesday, November 11, Brockbank Elementary had some very special visitors come to our school to honor Veteran's Day. We are so proud of all of our veterans and enjoy having them come and talk to us each year. The program consisted of the fifth-grade students singing a patriotic song, a slide show presentation, and each of the veterans introducing themselves and talking to the students. It was a very touching assembly reminding us all why veterans are so important and about all the sacrifices that they have made for us so that we can be free. Brockbank fourth and fifth grade students made Thank You cards and presented them to the veterans after the assembly. Students thanked the veterans for their service to our country. Mrs. Alexandra Dedrickson, a fifth-grade teacher, also took cards to the Central Utah Veteran's Home in Payson, and gave them to the veterans over there. Mrs. Dedrickson said the veterans were very moved to think young people love this country as much as they do.
Veteran's Day
(more pictures available)
Today we we had the honor of having veterans visit Sierra Bonita! The veterans who came served during Vietnam, Korean War, Desert Storm, and the War in Iraq. We would like to thank all those who have fought for our freedoms and made our country the greatest place to live! Our very own Kindergartener McKinlee West had her great grandfather visit as one of the Veteran's!
On Veteran's Day, we honor ALL who answered to a service to call
Soldier's young, and soldiers old, fought for our freedom, BRAVE and BOLD.
Some have lived, while others have died, and all of them deserve OUR pride.
We're proud of all the soldiers who, kept thinking of red, white, and blue.
They fought for us and all our rights; they fought through many days and nights
And though we may not know EACH name, we thank ALL Veteran's just the same.
Brockbank Students Enjoy Assembly!
Arts, Inc. always puts on delightful assemblies and Nov 10 was no exception. The group Eastern Arts performed for the students, both entertaining and educating students about song, music, and dance from the Eastern block countries such as Iran, Iraq, and Afghanistan.
SFHS Honors Veterans
(more pictures available)
Student at Spanish Fork High School honored America's veterans on November 11, 2014 with a Veterans Day assembly.
The assembly included special musical selections by the SFHS orchestra and band as well as remarks from a local veteran, Jeff Long.
Long served in Afghanistan and talked to students about his experiences there. He showed students entrenchment tools used by the Army from World War I, World War II, the Vietnam era, and today. He pointed out that with each era, the military made changes to the tool for the better.
"We adapt and become better," Long said.
In addition to the assembly, flags lined the sidewalks between buildings on the SFHS campus. Several students also wore dress clothes to school as a show of respect for the servicemen and women in our country.
Great Debate
There's no debate about it. The Spanish Fork High School debate team is on a roll, placing in several categories at a recent debate.

9th Grade Field Trip to the Krishna Temple
(more pictures available)
Ninth graders recently had an opportunity to attend a field trip to the Krishna Temple in Spanish Fork. The students were treated to a tour of the grounds including an introduction to the various animals and how the farm helps the temple be self-sufficient. Students were then invited inside the temple where they participated in a presentation that focused on the culture of India and a few of the beliefs of Hinduism. Afterwards, students were invited to the top of the temple were they received further instruction regarding the importance of religious mantras. Following the tour, many students sampled the "tastes" of India by partaking of "Govinda's Vegetarian Buffet." The Social Studies Department feels that by experiencing other cultures, students can dispel preconceived myths, develop understanding and appreciation of others, and come to value their own culture even more. We are grateful to temple priest Caru Das and his wife Vaibhavi Devi for providing a wonderful educational experience for our students, and for their kindness and hospitality each year.
This Is The Place State Heritage Park
(more pictures available)
Seventh graders recently had an opportunity to attend a field trip to "This is the Place State Heritage Park." While they were there, students explored Navajo culture with a tour of a Navajo Hogan. Students experienced first-hand Pioneer hardships by learning about and pulling Pioneer handcarts. Students then witnessed a working blacksmith demonstration. Finally, students didn't get entirely away from school, but participated in a Pioneer school lesson learning about the Deseret Alphabet and various schooling procedures which were very different from today. The field trip gave students a broader appreciation of their citizenship in Utah and helped them learn valuable insights regarding Utah heritage and history.
Everyday Heroes Celebrated at Sierra Bonita with Senator Henderson
Sierra Bonita students were privileged to hear Senator Henderson talk about her everyday hero.

To mark IDC Herzliya's 20th anniversary, we spent a day following Prof. Uriel Reichman, IDC's founder and president, and Jonathan Davis, VP for External Relations, around its delightful campus.
The family of captive U.S. government contractor Warren Weinstein called for "date-specific confirmation" that he is still alive.
In a statement released Thursday, the Weinstein family said a video distributed last week by al-Qaida in Pakistan does not prove that Weinstein is alive because there is no indication of when it was made.
Weinstein, 72, who has been held in Pakistan by al-Qaida for more than two years, in the video calls on President Obama to release al-Qaida terrorists in exchange for his release.
The video message featuring Weinstein, a former Peace Corps and USAID official, was sent to journalists and news services in Pakistan along with a link to a photo of a handwritten note. The testimonial letter is dated Oct. 3, 2013; it is not known when the video was filmed.
Weinstein, of Rockville, Md., was kidnapped in August 2011 outside Pakistan while he was working for J.E. Austin Associates, a private company that advises Pakistani businesses.
The United States has said it will not negotiate with al-Qaida, which the U.S. considers a terrorist organization.
"Warren Weinstein is a scholar and a humanitarian who has spent his entire career working to improve the lives of men, women and children around the world," his family said in the statement. "Prior to his abduction, he spent seven years in Pakistan working to improve local communities through projects related to dairy production, farming and health care. To be captured and held against his will after a life spent helping others, especially in the sunset of his proud career, is unacceptable. We urge the global community to help us bring him home."
The family praised U.S. Rep. John Delaney (D-Md.) for his efforts on behalf of Weinstein.
"We must be relentless in our efforts to bring him home and we must maintain a sense of outrage and determination," Delaney said in a statement issued Thursday.

BYU can relate to Gonzaga's recent loss
PROVO — If nothing else, BYU can empathize with No. 8 Gonzaga.
The Zags fell to No. 13 Butler, 64-63, on the road Saturday when Roosevelt Jones stole an inbound pass with 3.5 seconds left and hit a shot from inside the foul line as the buzzer sounded.
"It was all great, except the last 3.5 seconds," Gonzaga coach Mark Few said of the game. "Actually the last point-one seconds."
The Cougars know how the Zags feel. They lost, 70-69, on a last-second shot against Saint Mary's last Wednesday.
And just moments after BYU bounced back with a 74-57 victory over San Diego Saturday night, Cougar coach Dave Rose watched the end of the Gonzaga-Butler game with more than just a casual interest.
It just so happens that BYU (15-5, 5-1) and Gonzaga (17-2, 4-0) meet Thursday (9 p.m. MST, ESPNU) in Spokane.
"They're going to be probably a little bit upset," said Rose. "We're going to have to be ready for it."
Rose and the Cougars also suffered a heartbreaking loss to Saint Mary's when Gael guard Matthew Dellavedova drained a 35-footer at the buzzer. Just 2.5 seconds earlier, BYU's Tyler Haws made a tough shot that could have been the game-winner.
For Gonzaga, Saturday's defeat marked just its second loss of the season.
"It'll sting extra hard," Rose said. "When you don't lose much, it really hurts. That's just how the business is."
Certainly, BYU is in for a tough game with the Zags at the McCarthey Athletic Center, also known as "The Kennel."
"We look forward to a huge challenge next week," Rose said. After playing Gonzaga, the Cougars visit Portland on Saturday.
BYU forward Brandon Davies, who scored 17 points and grabbed seven rebounds against San Diego, said this is an important week for his team.
"We have to focus in and get these road wins. They're tough to get away from home. It's a big deal," Davies said. "If you can get these wins in conference on the road, it does nothing but help your season. We've got to play our game and do our best."
Rose is impressed with Few's squad.
"It's a really talented team," Rose said. "Mark and I are actually pretty good friends. Some people are saying it's maybe the best group he's ever had. It's a deep group. They can score inside, and they're really talented on the perimeter. It's going to be a real challenge."
The Zags have three starters that average double-figures, led by junior 7-footer Kelly Olynyk, who averages 18 points per game. Elias Harris chips in 14.9 ppg and Kevin Pangos adds 12.1 ppg.
Meanwhile, Rose has been encouraged by the play of Cougar forward Nate Austin, who grabbed a game-high nine rebounds and had two blocked shots against San Diego in 32 minutes of action, as starter Josh Sharp found himself in foul trouble.
"Nate played great," Rose said. "You look at his numbers and they're workman numbers. But he was out there the majority of the game. His presence really caused problems (for San Diego). He had nine rebounds. Defensively, he altered and deflected a lot of shots."
Against Saint Mary's, the 6-foot-11 sophomore hit 3-of-4 shots from the floor and had four rebounds. Rose has enjoyed Austin's production recently.
"Nate is one of the guys the last three weeks that not a lot of people have been talking about," Rose said. "But as far as our coaching staff is concerned, he just continues to improve. The minutes that we're getting from Nate are better and better and better. Josh gives us one look at the 4, and Nate gives us a whole other look as far as his physical presence. That's good for the depth of our group."
And BYU will need a lot of depth, and solid play, when it travels to Gonzaga.

True Independence
Once a year, when the re-birth of spring is at its peak (the 5th of Iyyar, according to Hebrew calendar), the State of Israel celebrates its Independence Day. The flags, picnics, clothes and parades are ways of expressing national pride in the fulfillment of the Zionist dream of a Jewish State in the Land of Israel after almost 2,000 years. On this day, we're proud to be Israelis, but the question remains, just how free are we?

Coulthard: Sochi ready to bring Formula One to Russia (VIDEO)
Jan 12, 2014, 5:35 PM EST
The 2014 Olympic Winter Games (Feb. 6-23 on the networks of NBCUniversal) won't be the only big sporting event coming to the Russian seaside city of Sochi this year. More than seven months after the Olympic flame goes out, a new street circuit around Sochi Olympic Park will play host to Formula One's inaugural Russian Grand Prix in October.
Initially, 13-time Grand Prix winner David Coulthard (pictured, left with Krasnodar region deputy governor Mikhail Buturlakin, center, and four-time reigning World Champion Sebastian Vettel, right) wasn't entirely sure about the prospects of staging an F1 race in Sochi.
But as he notes in a recently posted YouTube video from Red Bull team sponsor Infiniti (see above), a visit to the track construction site caused him to change his mind.
"Having had the chance to go there and see what they're building for the Olympics, it actually does make sense," Coulthard says in the clip. "Because they have this venue and once it's used for the Winter Olympics – how else can you continue to keep stimulating the local economy and make use of the facilities, the hotels and everything?"
Coulthard also says that while the track's ultimate reputation among drivers is still to be determined, he thinks that Sochi's location next to the Black Sea, along with all the Olympic investment there, makes the city ready to host the world's most popular motorsport this coming season.

Our Forgotten Heroes

The day I visited, there wasn't a soul walking on that road and it felt a little unnerving. When I eventually reached the Memorial, the first thing that struck me was the eerie silence. It was so quiet, I thought I could hear my heart beat a tad bit louder.

Watershed Festival at the Gorge: a new country-music tradition?
The Watershed country- music festival runs Friday through Sunday at the Gorge, in George, Grant County. The first country-music festival ever at the Gorge, it features Miranda Lambert, Blake Shelton, Dierks Bentley, Dwight Yoakam, Tracy Lawrence, Brantley Gilbert, Sara Evans, Uncle Cracker, Kix Brooks, Thompson Square and many others.
Seattle Times music critic
WatershedCountry-music festival featuring Miranda Lambert, Blake Shelton, Dierks Bentley, Dwight Yoakam, Sarah Evans, Kix Brooks, Thompson Square and others. 11 a.m.-10 p.m. Friday through Sunday, Aug. 3-5, at the Gorge Amphitheatre, George, Grant County; single-day tickets sold out, three-day passes $150 (800-745-3000 or www.watershedfest.com).
Brian O'Connell heads up country-music touring for the concert production company Live Nation, so it's his business to know where to place an act. Some time last year, O'Connell was sitting on his couch in Nashville trying to figure out whether to send a group through Spokane or Seattle when a very obvious thought struck him.
Smack dab in the middle, between Spokane and Seattle, was a little place called the Gorge, on the Columbia River in Grant County.
"Here I have access to one of the most breathtaking views in the world," said O'Connell by telephone last week. "And I have a great country-music marketplace. So I'm asking myself, 'Why haven't we ever done a country festival at the Gorge?' "
Why, indeed?
O'Connell called Jeff Trisler, president of Live Nation Seattle. The Watershed festival was born.
The three-day event runs Friday through Sunday. It's a pretty big deal.
Miranda Lambert and her husband, Blake Shelton, country music's new first couple — they sang "America the Beautiful" at the 2012 Super Bowl — will be there. Lambert's gold album, "Four the Record," has been on the pop charts nine months; Shelton, a vocal coach on the TV show "The Voice," debuted at No. 1 with "Red River Blue," which also went gold.
Dierks Bentley, whose rocking single "5-1-5-0" (hat tip to Van Halen) has become a summer anthem, is on the bill, too. And so are country chart-toppers Dwight Yoakam, Tracy Lawrence, Brantley Gilbert, Sara Evans, Uncle Cracker, Kix Brooks, Thompson Square and many others
Unlike the rest of the music industry, the Nashville establishment still functions like a well-oiled machine, grooming quality new stars like Thompson Square. A husband-and-wife team composed of Kiefer and Shawna Thompson, T2 is this year's Academy of Country Music's vocal duo of the year.
The Thompsons, who play Watershed on Sunday, spent 13 years scuffling in Music City dives before they finally got heard by the right person at the right time. But when that finally happened, Stoney Creek Records handed them 100 songs to choose from for their album — that's on top of their own songs — and offered them Jason Aldean's band as the production team.
Two songs stood out, said Kiefer by phone last week from a tour stop in Mount Vernon, Ohio. One was "Are you Gonna Kiss Me or Not" (also the name of their 2011 debut album), a cute, upbeat song that became a No. 1 single, was nominated for two Grammy Awards and also says a lot about how country music has changed. The woman in the story is the empowered one, opening the door to that first kiss. And the beat is pure modern country — that is to say, '80s rock.
The other song the Thompsons liked was "Glass," by Ross Copperman and Jon Nite, a gorgeous ballad about the fragility of human relationships that could just as easily have been sung by Barbra Streisand — and may well be. "Glass" has climbed to No. 18 on country charts.
The Thompsons' album, which has gone gold, has generated two more hit singles, "Let's Fight" and "I Got You."
Though Kiefer Thompson was first inspired by the driving, eight-to-the-bar beat of Bruce Springsteen, like other modern country acts, he and Shawna have a deep respect for tradition. Playing for the first time at the Grand Ole Opry, at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium, was like a rite of passage.
"Our parents were there," said Shawna. "It was a huge moment."
O'Connell is hoping to make Watershed into a West Coast country-music tradition. A second stage celebrates regional acts, such as Brent Amaker & the Rodeo and Rae Solomon. There's also camping (as at most Gorge shows), free hot-air balloon rides, a water park, an old Western saloon, late-night sets and jam sessions.
The only tickets left for Watershed are three-day passes; the single-day tickets were handled through individual artists' fan clubs. O'Connell says the festival has hit the 20,000 per day mark, and though he doesn't expect a sellout (27,000 per day), he's pleased with the response, and is thinking long-term.
"I see Watershed as something where in 30 years, God willing, we see kids of people that went this year coming to Watershed all together."

PARIS (Reuters) - The French Greens party will not take part in a newly formed government under Socialist Prime Minister Manuel Valls, it said on Tuesday, breaking away from a coalition marked by tensions over energy policy.
The decision capped nearly two years of tense relations between coalition partners as the Greens sought to wind down use of nuclear energy and insisted on maintaining a blanket ban on shale gas exploration.
It followed a rout of the ruling Socialist Party in local elections on Sunday which prompted an unpopular President Francois Hollande to appoint his tough-talking former interior minister Valls as prime minister.
"The ecologists will back the government without fail when it acts for progress and ecology, but it will oppose it whenever ecology is not taken into account," the party said in a statement.
The party's executive committee voted not to join the government against the opinion of most of the party's 18 members of parliament, two parliamentary sources told Reuters.
The Greens' departure leaves President Francois Hollande's Socialist Party and allies still with a majority in parliament, suggesting the government should have enough support to pass a new budget later this year.
Two Greens party ministers, one of whom had clashed openly with Valls, had said they would not join his government despite his offer to create an expanded Ministry of Ecology.

2010-11 NHL season preview: Pittsburgh Penguins
Sep 27, 2010, 11:15 PM EST
Last season: (47-28-7, 101 points, 2nd in Atlantic Division, 4th in Eastern Conference) It's a little bit much to expect an NHL team to make it to the Stanley Cup finals three seasons in a row, so the beauty of the Penguins' 2009-10 campaign is in the eye of the beholder. Evgeni Malkin and Marc-Andre Fleury had some low moments, but the team fell just a few strides short of their first Atlantic Division title in the Sidney Crosby Era. It seemed like they just ran out of gas against the Montreal Canadiens, who beat them in an ugly Game 7.
Head coach: Dan Bylsma enters his third season as coach, although this will only be his second full campaign. No NHL coach has complete job security, but I'm guessing that his 2008-09 Stanley Cup ring will keep him off the hot seat for this season. His coaching skills will be put to the test in a tough Atlantic Division, featuring division champ New Jersey and Eastern Conference champion Philadelphia.
Key departures: D Sergei Gonchar, F Bill Guerin, F Ruslan Fedetenko, D Mark Eaton, F Alexei Ponikarovsky, D Jordan Leopold. People are underestimating the loss of Gonchar. The Penguins' power play rarely operated on the level people expected from their collection of talent, but Gonchar was a key motor and logged huge minutes. Guerin and Fedetenko weren't elite wingers, but the team's now even weaker in that area.
Key arrivals: D Paul Martin, D Zbynek Michalek, F Mike Comrie, F Arron Asham, F Brett Sterling. GM Ray Shero threw down the gauntlet by spending big money on Martin and Michalek, two good defensemen whose best work often goes unnoticed. Comrie and Asham should be decent depth players while Sterling gets the chance to play the role of Petr Sykora. I don't think he has the stuff to pull that off, though.
Under pressure: Marc-Andre Fleury needs to justify his $5 million salary while Malkin has a lot to prove after struggling with injuries (and maybe a little fatigue?) last season. They were two of the biggest reasons the Penguins won the Cup in '09 because as they go, so goes the team.
Protecting the house: Unlike their cross-state rivals in Philly, the Penguins are making a huge investment in one goalie. Fleury's a scapegoat often enough in Pittsburgh that it's a go-to joke among beat writers, but the bottom line is that 'MAF' needs to improve his play this season. Backup Brent Johnson is a solid (but clear) No. 2.
They don't have a Norris-worthy guy like Chris Pronger, but the Penguins are strong along the blueline … and with good reason, because they've certainly invested a lot of clams in that area. They have a headhunting hitter (Brooks Orpik), offensive flash (Kris Letang, Alex Goligoski, Ben "Dr." Lovejoy) and steady all-around guys (Martin, Michalek). I wouldn't rank them as the best in the league, but they might be the most versatile.
Top line we'd like to see: Malkin-Crosby-Chris Kunitz. Even in my imagination, I cannot put Malkin, Crosby and Jordan Staal on the same line. That hypothetical team would be too thin at center, after all. Instead, I'd have Kunitz doing all the forechecking and dirty work while Crosby and Malkin pick apart the defense with cruel efficiency.
You never know, that line might actually see the light of day on occasion, too.
Oh captain, my captain: I always picture Crosby as the type of guy who would yell at me for running at half-speed during wind sprints during football practice. While I hated that guy, I'd imagine that personality type works better for people who actually have athletic ability.
Street fighting man: While Mike Rupp can take care of himself, it's all about Eric 'Hands of' Godard. Those hands aren't around to finish a Crosby/Malkin one-timer. Instead they exist to hurt people. Considering that other Atlantic Division teams loaded up on pugilists, Godard might need to hire another cook to prepare all of those knuckle sandwiches.
Best case scenario: Prized prospect Eric Tangradi turns out to be the second coming of Kevin Stevens and gives the Penguins a genuine power forward. Martin seamlessly replaces Gonchar's power-play productivity while Michalek proves to be a heightened version of Rob Scuderi (with a little offensive punch). Crosby keeps scoring goals, Malkin stays healthy and racks up 100 points and Fleury plays like an elite goalie. Cut to the Penguins' second Cup parade in three years.
Worst case scenario: The Penguins end up third in the division and eighth overall in the East, face off against their kryptonite (the Devils) and get booted out of the first round. Malkin and Crosby can't get it done without quality wingers while Fleury allows a bonehead goal every three games. Martin and Michalek either underachieve or get injured. Bylsma gets food poisoning from a bad burrito.
Keeping it real: The Penguins are a team built for the playoffs rather than the regular season. Without Gonchar or proven scoring on the wings, they won't score many "easy" goals. I see them coming in second in the Atlantic, sliding into their typical 4th or 5th seed and getting booted out of the conference finals by a deeper team like Washington, New Jersey or Philadelphia.
But, really, they could grind out another Cup win. They're a rugged, deep and talented group but also have some disturbing weaknesses.
Stanley Cup chances: On a scale from 1-5, with a one being the worst and a five being the best, you have to think they're a 5, right? When you're that strong down the middle, have a defense that deep and employ a goalie who can stand on his head (when the lights are on, at least), it's tough to discount that team's chances. They have just as good a shot as any team in the East.

the devils have cap issues to to say they are "DEEP" is going out on a limb.. The "Ovechkin's" are built for the regular season & NOT THE PLAYOFFS…So the real battle will be with Philly sans a real goalteneder… oh & GENO MALKIN has nothing to prove… last season was the first he missed any significant time/games..He carried this team when Sid was injuried…
- eric - Sep 28, 2010 at 12:53 AM
Sid won the cup at age 21. Towes won his at 22, Sid remains the youngest captain to hoist the cup. Nobody can steal that thunder
- James O'Brien - Sep 28, 2010 at 2:13 AM
For some reason I remembered that Toews-Crosby young captain thing incorrectly. Rather than explaining the mistake in the post itself, I figured it would be better to take that part out and just mention the misstep here.
Thanks for catching that error, Eric.
- weaves - Sep 28, 2010 at 10:08 AM
As a Flyers fan, I can't see anyway that Philly could bounce Pitt from the postseason. Philly is indeed deep up front, but I think they're pretty average on the blue line (beyond Pronger) and they are horrendous in net. They will again be lucky to squeak in the playoffs.
Agree w/ Mario– WAS just won't get there until they trim a forward (Semin?) and lock in a stud goalie.
If Pitt could've hung onto Gonchar, I think they would've put together one of the all-time great regular season records (like, less 25 total L's and OT-L's). They still might…

Australian Dollar Outlook - 11 January 2013
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Christine Gaylican | January 11, 2013 10:49 AM EST
Bell FX Currency Outlook: The Australian Dollar is eyeing USD 1.0600 as the grind upwards continues.
Australia. The currency markets showed New Year energy finally with the ECB post-meeting press conference driving a move in most major currency pairs.
The ECB left the stance of policy unchanged but foreign exchange markets latched onto President Draghi's reference to "significant" improvement in financial markets.
Major currencies responded, some breaking recent ranges, which imparted notable weakness to the US Dollar. Our AUD and the NZD posted fresh highs, with both in demand, following yesterday's surprisingly strong Chinese trade data for December.
Today in Asia markets will focus on Chinese prices data for December, with US trade data also expected to be a focal point later tonight. The AUD seems destined to move higher, with it targeting USD 1.0700 as comfortably as Mike Hussey targeted more centuries this summer.
Majors: As mentioned, the focus of markets overnight was on the ECB and President Draghi. The ECB's decision to not cut interest rates was unanimous. As such, a reduction in rates is likely to require a more pervasive weakening in output and a re-emergence of financial market volatility and euro zone stability fears.
This led the EUR to rally one cent against the USD. There were also significant moves on European bond markets, with Spanish 10-year bond yields falling 23bps to 4.87% (lowest since early 2012). Meanwhile, US equities traded solidly but interestingly, European stocks were mixed.
The GBP rallied strongly, assisted by the Bank of England's unchanged policy stance, although this was expected.
The only major pair not to respond to the EUR related move was USD/JPY, which incidentally appears to have made a double-top, suggesting its appreciation is starting to mature.
