When I turned in my first draft of this week's review of Anchovies & Olives , my editor said, "It sounds like you're being overly>"/>
When I turned in my first draft of this week's review of Anchovies & Olives, my editor said, "It sounds like you're being overly polite about the place and weren't that enthusiastic about it." Not true! I replied. Smart food, smart formula, smart service -- he's got a winner of a restaurant. But then I had to do some thinking about why my praise would come out sounding so faint.
I can't think of Ethan Stowell without thinking of Matt Dillon (Sitka & Spruce, Corson Building). The two Seattle culinary stars cook very similarly. They've got different palates, mind you, but their dishes are composed according to much the same logic, with the same successes and flaws. On her blog, GastroGnome, Naomi Bishop called the food at Anchovies & Olives "exposed," and I can't think of a better word to describe both chefs' style.
I send a lot of people to both chefs' restaurants -- with the exception of visiting Northern Californians. What I eventually told my boss is that Dillon and Stowell's food often impresses me but it rarely intrigues me -- because I've been eating it for almost 15 years. Their minimalist, ingredient-driven, exposed style became the preeminent mode of California cuisine in the mid 1990s. (Just as background, before coming to Seattle I reviewed restaurants in Berkeley and Oakland for seven years.)
And the main complaint that many people make of cuisine in the Bay Area is that it has become static. Thanks to a combination of factors, not least the extremely powerful influence of Alice Waters and SF Chronicle critic Michael Bauer, San Francisco now has a true regional style, with all the conservatism implied in that phrase (Daniel Patterson, chef of San Francisco's Coi restaurant, complained about it most eloquently in the NY Times a few years back). One of the things I enjoy most about reviewing restaurants in Seattle is that we have regional ingredients and regional dishes, but our cooks still have a lot of room to play and experiment that Bay Area cooks aren't permitted.
It's not that I don't think visiting Bay Aryans would enjoy Union or Sitka & Spruce, but to them the food would be much too familiar to awe. Instead, I send the more trend-conscious ones to places like Spring Hill, Spur, Crush, and Poppy -- restaurants where the forward-thinking cooking intrigues me as much as the Northwest ingredients.
What does resonate to me about Stowell and Dillon's food is that it's exactly how I cook. The best of their dishes always change what I look for the next time I'm at the farmers market. Their simple but carefully thought-through flavor combinations are most likely to end up on my own table. The last time I cooked for visiting French family members, they very politely commented on how "pure" it tasted. "Everything tastes exactly like the ingredients," one said. Thinking on my review of Corson Building the month before, I had to laugh.
So that's what I told my editor. Then I went and polished up my review to give Anchovies & Olives the merit it deserved.

Tom Smart, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — Avery Friedman, a CNN legal analyst and civil rights lawyer, said he first gained interest in civil rights about five minutes after he met Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at a march in Louisville, Ky., in 1963.
But it wasn't Dr. King that made such an impression on the young pre-med student. Rather, it was the end of a policeman's club.
Friedman gave the keynote address Monday at the Utah NAACP's annual MLK Day luncheon in Salt Lake City. The event was one of many throughout the area marking the birthday of the civil rights leader who was assassinated in 1968.
Among other events Monday, the University of Utah and Westminster College held commemorative marches. Polynesian dancers performed Monday evening at Kingsbury Hall, and service projects were held throughout the valley.
Friedman said that when he met King, he didn't fully appreciate the historic role the Atlanta preacher would play. At the invitation of a friend, Friedman had gone to the march against housing discrimination mostly hoping to see his musical idol Mary Travers of the folk group, Peter Paul and Mary, who was also participating.
"To be honest with you, I wasn't really all that moved with Dr. King," he said. "He was just an ordinary guy. I was looking for Mary Travers.
But minutes after he met the civil rights leader, "things got out of hand" at the march, Friedman remembered. Police wielding nightsticks attacked the marchers. As the police were beating his friend, one officer asked Friedman, "Are you with this guy?"
"If I'd had half a brain, I would have said 'no,'" Friedman remembered with a laugh. But for his affirmative answer, the police began to beat him. He said it changed his life.
"I still remember what it felt like when those clubs came down," he said. "And that changed everything. When somebody does something like that to you, you remember."
The pre-med student changed his focus to the law. Since then he has litigated some 2,000 federal civil rights cases, become a nationally recognized expert, and for the past 11 years he has been watched by 3 million viewers as a legal analyst on the CNN show, "Legal Briefs."
Friedman said he could not single out any particular area of civil rights that now needs attention the most. The effort goes on against discrimination in housing, employment, access to credit, and other areas, he said.
In the cause of civil rights, Friedman said he places more stock in the law than in changing racist attitudes, he said.
"I gave up on trying to change attitudes. It would be great if everyone loved everyone else," he said, noting that in a free country, people are free to hate whomever they want to hate. "The law won't make people love each other, but it will enjoin the heartless."
Friedman also commented on Monday's announcement that former Utah governor Jon Huntsman, Jr. has ended his presidential campaign. The Republican presidential campaign is losing an important proponent of civil rights, he said.
"The Republican Party is diminished. That is an extraordinary man. He is balanced, intelligent, rational, compassionate … all the things I think Dr. King embodied.
Many attending the luncheon came from diverse backgrounds from throughout the world.
Twenty-five fourth grade violin students, from Salt Lake City's Bennion Elementary School, played for the nearly 400 luncheon-goers. Many of the students are from immigrant families coming from places such as Somalia, Burma, Croatia, Mexico, Guatemala and West Africa, teacher Carly Winslow said.
Also accompanying the children was Bennion principal James Yapias, who said he came with his family from Peru when he was 13 years old.

Urbanisation will drive China's growth
19 March 2014
BEIJING: Consumer spending in China will be given a boost by further urbanisation according to a leading official, as a new government plan anticipates 60% of the population will live in urban areas within the next six years.
Although retail sales had slowed during the first two months of 2014, Zhao Ping, deputy director of the Consumption Economy Research Department of Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation, did not expect the rest of the year would follow the same pattern.
And he thought there was
significant potential for growth
as more people moved to towns and cities.
"Expansion of consumption brought by urbanisation may not account for a large proportion, but the increment will be substantial," he told Xinhua, adding that the resulting household spending would be a "hotspot" for the consumer market, with a boom in sales of building materials, furniture, home appliances, food and beverages and mobile phones.
The recently unveiled national plan foresees
the proportion of permanent urban residents rising
from 53.7% of the population in 2013 to 60% by 2020, with green production and consumption becoming the norm in the urban economy.
According to the report, China will "focus on three tasks, each concerning 100 million people: granting urban residency to around 100 million rural people who have moved to cities, rebuilding rundown city areas and villages inside cities where around 100 million people live, and guiding the urbanisation of around 100 million rural residents of the central and western regions in cities there".
A separate survey by China International Capital Corporation, the country's largest investment bank, found that rural Chinese were optimistic about their income growth, and highlighted spending on houses, cars and tourism as their top three priorities.

Questions for Catherine Hakim
The author of Erotic Capital: The Power of Attraction in the Boardroom and the Bedroom on why women should be using their sex appeal to get ahead.
Slate: Those are all studies with self-reported results, is that right?
Hakim: Yes.
Slate: Are you familiar with the work of psychology professor Meredith Chivers? She did some research where she hooked up monitors to the genitals of men and women to measure their blood flow, and showed them clips of straight sex, gay sex, and men and women masturbating, among other things. She found that women were physically aroused by a greater variety of subjects than men were, but that women's self-reporting did not line up with the physical evidence—they underreported their arousal. In light of Chivers' research, don't you think it is possible that the differential in sexual desire is socially constructed?
Hakim: The reason I didn't quote Chivers' research, which I've been aware of for a very long time, is because there is serious disagreement about the interpretation that should be placed on her findings. A lot of people, including myself, don't interpret that as sexual desire. It's a physiological reaction. For example, when people are frightened, they pee. They also get what you might call physiologically aroused. It doesn't mean that they are experiencing sexual desire. In particular situations, people have a lot of physiological reactions which in all sorts of ways may not make sense.
What is absolutely the case, is that there's just a huge volume of research—life history, sexual history, very detailed qualitative research, as well as these national surveys—[showing that women have lower levels of desire]. It's not going to change in another 50 years. And given that it's there, I'm saying women should see this as a situation that they can benefit from and take advantage of.
Slate: Well, how do women who are, let's say, past their prime, continue to exploit this differential? You used the example of glamour model Katie Price in your book as someone who has successfully used her erotic capital. She's a self-made multimillionaire, and it is in large part because of the cosmetic enhancements that she's done and her participation in a reality TV show. What if someone of a similar class background tried the same thing and failed at it—she spent a great deal of money on cosmetic surgery but didn't profit. How is what she's done, in investing in her erotic capital, going to help her in the long run? Isn't that money better spent investing in some professional development?
Hakim: There are two problems here. One, everybody seems to be assuming, and I don't know why, that it's an either/or situation—a zero-sum game. It isn't a zero-sum game. People can invest in education, invest in training, invest in qualifications, invest in work experience, and also invest in their erotic capital.
Slate: But if they're lower class, where are they supposed to get the money to invest in all of these things at the same time? If you don't have the money, it is in fact a zero-sum game.
Hakim: It isn't a money thing. Having a good body, being fit, is more about time and effort. Money makes things easier, but you don't need money for most things. Education is not about money exclusively. It's about time and effort. If you have a lot of money, you can go to an expensive hairdresser and they'll do everything for you. But if you don't, then you learn to do it all yourself and most women can do that kind of thing themselves. Similarly, makeup, there's cheap versions and cheap products, as well as expensive ones. You don't have to have the expensive ones.
One of my examples in the book is [IMF Managing Director] Christine Lagarde, one of the most highly qualified and competent and professional women in the world. Like many women in the French culture, she takes the view that also being attractive and well-dressed and well-groomed and well-presented and having a very good hairstyle and nice jewelry is all part of being a professional woman. And I see lately that Vanity Fair in the U.S. has listed her among its best-dressed women. She is an example of a woman who exploits her intelligence, qualifications, and her erotic capital. The French culture, the Italian culture, the Spanish culture, they all take the view that for men as well as women, investing in your attractiveness and your self-presentation and dress and grooming is valuable.
Slate: In your book you repeatedly mention the penalty that overweight women pay in the workforce—they make less money than slim women. So it seems that even though women might not be rewarded in the same way men are yet for having erotic capital, they are already being punished for not having it. Don't you think that women are aware of this prejudice?
Hakim: It's possible that Americans are much more aware already of the importance of grooming, of being slim, of not being fat and obese. I would say that even if people have a general idea that it's better to be good-looking and better not to be fat, not many people are aware that you actually earn a lot more if you are reasonably good-looking, and even more if you're positively attractive. I think a lot of people are not aware that there is a sex difference in returns to attractiveness and men are making more money from it than women. And that is something I think that women do need to address. And I also think that people overlook the fact when they say, "Oh, you should invest in qualifications"—that that's somehow more morally dignified.
I don't know the exact numbers for the U.S., but in Britain, roughly 25 percent of people get a college degree, while roughly 20 to 25 percent leave secondary school with either no qualifications or none of any great value at all. And I know that in America you have high-school drop-outs. So focusing exclusively on education as the sole ladder to success seems very narrow to me, given that huge numbers of people will never make it through the educational system. And therefore, they are necessarily looking to alternative routes to success. And it's reasonable to say that makes sense. It might be sport. That has always been a major one for people from poor countries and poor backgrounds. Another one is the music and entertainment industry. And erotic capital is a third. And for a lot of people, that will be an important and alternative route.
Slate: I know that you think that women should exploit their erotic capital more than they already are, but do you think it is appropriate that people who don't have erotic capital should be penalized as they seem to be?
Hakim: I can't see any problem here. People who are stupid are penalized. Discrimination is part of life itself. Discrimination is part of being an intelligent and thinking person. And I can't see any possible reason for saying if erotic capital has genuine social and economic value, then those who don't have it will not be winning in that area. They may win in other areas. They may be very intelligent, and therefore getting that advantage. They may be very gifted in music or sport or politics or some other area of activity, but they're certainly not getting the benefit of high erotic capital.

I am new to this forum and was looking for information about hunting ORYX in Rhodes Canyon. My son and I drew Lifetime tags for OCt.10-11. We are planning on a DIY hunt. I have spoken with several people and have been told many things, but I get the impression that the success rate is not as good now as say 5 years ago. I have been told that if you do not take one on the first day that it becomes a very difficult hunt for the second day. Does anyone have actual experience on Rhodes Canyon and would be willing to share information about areas to look, hunting tips, etc. Is there any weather issues I need to be aware of? I have been told there is alot of mesquite on Rhodes which prevents driving(flat tires) to downed game. I have been told to bring a game cart? I have been told to bring a 10 gal. fuel can(full) for precautions. I have been told that if it rains to not get off the pavement. I am from Tennessee so things that NM residents would not even consider may mean the difference in a successful hunt for my son and I. I have archery hunted elk in the Gila and antelope in AZ. That is some beautiful country in the Southwest. Thanks for reading this lengthy post. Regards, Mike Young

The Workforce Housing and Transportation Project (WHTP) brought together leaders from agriculture, labor, housing, and transportation throughout 2013 to develop a set of concrete recommendations outlined in our Shelter + Mobility report to local and state governments, the specialty crop industry, nongovernmental organizations, and communities on how they can increase housing and transportation resources for specialty crop workers, increase their access to jobs in the sector, and sustain the specialty crop industry.

So we have been going to a chiropractor as my DS had recurrent ear infections and he has reflux and sleep issues. He has been really sick so I took him to the chiro. DS had just finished a round of antibiotics for his ear and is still on a nebulizer for his wheezing. I asked the chiro to check his ear and they said one was still a little red and they advised I put a few drops of tea tree oil in olive oil and rub it on his outer ear.
I am not much of an alternative medicine person but I really don't want LO to go back on antibiotics plus it costs us $70 for the dr visit and $40 for the antibioitc. I don't want to be cheap when it comes to my son's health but if I can cure it with this oil I am interested. Anyone ever try ir or heard of it or do I just go to the pedi?

Earlier this year, my colleague, Peter Smith, penned a very thoughtful paper exploring the age-old concept of centralization and decentralization with a modern twist and set of observations and recommendations: Centralise or Devolve Procurement? Why not Both? How Technology is Enabling New Operating Models. In the coming weeks on Spend Matters, we'll take a look at some of the highlights and observations that Peter makes in his work, starting first today with what he aims to achieve with his effort. We'll also include additional observations and commentary as we explore some of the elements of his analysis in detail.

2013: The Year of Source-To-Pay Adoption for SMB Procurement
Small and medium sized businesses (SMBs) could potentially have the most to gain from better procurement, yet they tend to lag far behind larger organizations in general sophistication (e.g., adopting basic strategic sourcing, category management, or compliance processes and policies) as well as technology adoption across source-to-pay (S2P) procurement technology. While inconsistency of process knowledge and excellence in SMB procurement is an important broader topic for discussion – for example, why many smaller businesses may be quite good at buying one or two strategic commodities such as stainless steel, copper, resin or contingent labor but sacrifice tremendous value overall – […]
Procurement Information Architecture Part 3: Analytics
In this second installment, we will discuss the value of breaking the analytics technology stack into different building blocks so that procurement and IT can be better satisfied in their individual goals. Although spend analysis is not even 10% of the overall supply analytics footprint, it is a good illustration of this concept. Here's my 'dummies guide to procurement analytics architecture' in three layers.
Spend Matters: A Purchasing and Procurement Holiday
We'll be keeping up with our sourcing and procurement coverage on our main sites throughout much of this week and the following.

Behind the scenes over the next few weeks, Spend Matters will undergo the biggest transformation it has seen in over eight years since we started to publish. We have some big news to report in the New Year as well. Here's a quick synopsis of what's to come: During the second week of January, we'll […]
Private Equity and Procurement: Context and Introduction [PRO]
At Sourcing Interest Group's Spring Summit, Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe's (WCAS) Jeff Gallant gave a fact-packed, fast-paced hour-long introduction to the world of private equity and procurement in a talk titled Procurement as critical resource: creating value through private equity portfolio management. I came away from the presentation with a strong appreciation for the opportunities of a relatively new position that is emerging for former CPOs and procurement leaders: serving as operating partners within the private equity world. However, the lessons that Jeff shared are not just relevant to those transitioning into the world of leveraged buyouts – they are applicable to all of us that serve as service providers to our businesses.
Private Equity and Procurement: Building a Savings Network and Results [PRO]
Continuing with our analysis of private equity and procurement based on Jeff Gallant's observations at the SIG event, one underplayed aspect of the network or portfolio effect of driving procurement and operational savings is the, well, network itself! Jeff suggests that the value of the "social network" – i.e., getting different portfolio company procurement leaders together – can be significant.
Social Collaboration and Information in Procurement Applications (Part 1) [Plus+]
Social news, media and collaboration are all around us within the procurement, finance and operations worlds. On LinkedIn, popular procurement related groups have thousands, sometimes tens of thousands, members. While size is not necessarily a gauge of value – just as savings or PPV is not necessarily the most important KPI in measuring procurement performance – it amazes us that the group Ariba started on LinkedIn, Sourcing and Procurement has 58,523 members. Niche social networks aimed at procurement, such as mysourcingteam.com, a beta site originally created to encourage ways of fostering category-level collaboration between organizations, have also emerged.
Ask the Expert: Top 10 Benchmarks in Procurement [Plus+]
Our next Ask the Expert webinar for Spend Matters Plus/PRO members is this Thursday, July 25, from 10-10:30am Central and features Pierre Mitchell on the Top Ten Benchmarks in Procurement. What's the good, bad, and ugly around procurement benchmarking? What metrics should you consider, and what are the pros and cons of each? If you can only pick 1-2 benchmarks to consider, what should they be? What are the top industry trends? Spend Matters PRO/Plus members, click on through to register.
Social Collaboration and Information in Procurement Applications (Part 2) [Plus+]
Continuing on with our analysis of the impact of social collaboration and information tools on procurement applications, we come to the impact of individuals and profiles in the application community itself. The idea of extending the master data we keep within procurement beyond what we've historically thought of is probably the most important step toward fully taking advantage of social collaboration.
Procurement-Related Fraud – on the rise? (Part 2) [Plus+]
Like so many things in life, the simplest advice is to follow the money. Ultimately, procurement-related fraud is about getting money from the organisation without proper justification. The procurement aspect of our analysis means we're interested in cases where there is some link with third-party supply of goods or services, although as we saw in part one, it does not actually have to involve a third party at all.
Procurement Leaders in Chicago: Exploring Procurement's Role in a New World
I've been enjoying the cold weather in Chicago for a few days, attending strategy meetings at Spend Matters HQ. Today I am at the annual Procurement Leaders Forum, held at the Palmer House Hilton. In the UK, the event has been around for 9 years, and they continue to grow their reputation and brand here in the US as well. The main part of the event took place today, with a decent turnout in attendees. What's most notable is the senior crowd – chiefly with senior procurement role team members (CPO, VP, etc.) from companies across all verticals: practitioner speakers […]
Oracle OpenWorld – Exploring Oracle Partners in the Procurement Ecosystem [Plus+]
Oracle's platform is as multi-faceted as SAP's – you can get their Oracle E-Business Suite Advanced Procurement Solutions (EBS) of procurement solutions via traditional delivery (onpremise on R12.1) or the exact same procurement experience in an Oracle On Demand version (delivered virtually by e-three), or you can choose the Oracle Fusion Applications (Oracle's purpose-built next-gen On Demand procurement version) suite or even (nominally) step away from the Oracle label and go over to Oracle PeopleSoft and get your procurement solution fix there.
Oracle Fusion Procurement: Building Out From a New Nucleus (Part 1) [Plus+]
Over the past eighteen months, we've had the chance to look at Oracle Fusion Procurement on multiple occasions, including briefings and demonstrations at Open World in 2010 and 2011. Since launching Oracle Fusion Applications, Oracle has been relatively quiet as it focuses on delivering and implementing Oracle Fusion Applications successfully with select customers, rather than emphasizing a large-scale marketing push. Oracle Fusion Procurement represents a big leap forward for Oracle not so much in functional capability (at least not yet) relative to Oracle E-Business Suite, but rather in integrated capabilities and design philosophy. In its current GA release, Oracle Fusion Procurement includes the following modules: Oracle Fusion Purchasing, Oracle Fusion Self-Service Procurement, Oracle Fusion Sourcing, Oracle Fusion Procurement Contracts, Oracle Fusion Supplier Portal and Oracle Fusion Procurement and Spend Analytics.
Procurement Information Architecture Part 3: Analytics [Plus+]
The biggest predictor of success of procurement organizations' ability to make the best technology/business trade-offs and 'pick the right tool for the job' is having someone within IT and within procurement who is specifically tasked with an architect role to ensure that procurement is able to attain the elusive 'long-term quick-fix' solution. If nobody is the designated driver, then decisions are, at best, sub-optimal. Having effective IT/procurement governance goes beyond this discussion, but it is a key success factor. For example, IT may have some budget (and sunk costs and unused licenses) that procurement may be able to access, and there might be a broader IT initiative that procurement can use to latch onto for its own purposes.
Extending Procurement Information Architecture to Provider Ecosystems (Part 1)
In our previous series on procurement services provision and information architectures (here,here, here, here, here, here and here) we discussed the importance of thoughtfully designing various architecture elements such as MDM, analytics, workflow, portal infrastructure, etc. to re-frame overall information capabilities beyond the traditional provider-led "module-menu" approach.
The Evolution of Procurement: Where We've Been, And Where We're Headed [Plus+]
I wonder whether we're beginning to see a fundamental change in society and business that will affect the drivers for procurement as well, and perhaps lead us into another era for the function? Slower economic growth in the developed world; competition in the West from BRIC and other fast developing countries; growing issues around raw material and resource shortages, from water to raw minerals, food to oil; all these may lead to organisations and government changing their priorities somewhat.
Thinking (about Procurement) Fast and Slow with Daniel Kahneman [Plus+]
Procurement has very little in the way of scientifically proven best practice, and not really very much even in terms of academic underpinning to what we do day-to-day. That is in part because many key procurement activities appear highly subjective and are linked to behavioural skills and issues, which are harder to analyse and study than fact-based actions. Such "soft" activities include negotiation, relationship management, and even arguably risk management.
Private Equity and Procurement: Driving Savings and EBITDA
The first installment of this series (and subsequent topical coverage), exploring the evolution of private equity and procurement, is based on a presentation given by WCAS's Jeff Gallant at Sourcing Interests Group's Spring 2013 Summit. Today's installment focuses on how to drive savings and EBITDA.
Exploring E2open — Digging Into the (Next Likely) Public Procurement/Supply Chain Vendor (Part 3) [Plus+]
When companies build the business case for E2open MTCM solutions (there really aren't direct competitors across the board, although there are substitutes), the tangible benefits they can quantify include the ability to deliver increased profitability through frequent pricing reviews of components across tiers and suppliers, using current BOMs to negotiate. Additionally, this type of solution can enable visibility into effective out-of-cycle dates compared with limited insight from purchasing and PLM systems and reverse logistics pricing support for returns disposition.
Emerging Market Watch: Procurement Sophistication in Africa [Plus+]
In general, African procurement organizations would do well to become more quantitative and analytical in their orientation toward spend and supplier data. As with a lack of more advanced sourcing approaches reliant on increasing sources of data, companies area also somewhat blind when it comes to basic spend visibility. I noticed the absence of a baseline spend understanding during the early parts of the conference, and it was obvious during my own presentation that spend analysis in the general sourcing sense is a fresh subject in the region. It's like the early 2000s all over again – an opportunity for expat practitioners to perform "miracles" at your Kenyan subsidiaries, as well as for solution providers to deliver great savings. There must be exceptions (nobody was there from Coca-Cola for example) but by and large this felt like a Greenfield opportunity.

More times than not, genres are a pretty ambiguous thing. Someone stumbling upon "Fire Fly" by Childish Gambino might mistake the Stone Mountain, Ga. rapper as a West Coast native. And deathcore? You guessed it - not so death-oriented (typically.) However, the wispy, ghost-like dream affair of trippiness known only as Golden Gardens can and should be summarized by two little words: dream pop.
The Covers opens with "The Garden," a slow, slow, slow and mildly creepy/angelic song that basically floats for more than seven minutes. Ambient with a mega-dose of reverb, the tune doesn't really go anywhere ... but that's not really the point. It's soothing and minimalistic, with just the right bit of punch. And that's good, given the records intent. Don't expect to be blown away with technicality, but rather, absorb the layers and melodies and harmonies. It's really quite amazing.Don't zone out too much, though. "The Loop" kicks things up with a fast snare and an assertive electric guitar that sounds borderline identical to something that would have been featured on the Kill Bill soundtrack. The ambience is still there, but the mood is lifted to a faster, twangier place where Quentin Tarantino thinks up plot lines (and probably sees things only in black and white.)
As a whole, The Covers is an impressive release from a band that summarizes its sound best on its Facebook page: "Dreamscapes and Anthems for Magical Minds."

Cemetery improvements
The Cemetery Expansion Project Ribbon Cutting Ceremony marked the second event of the Memorial Day celebration at the Utah Veterans Cemetery and Memorial Park.
Terry Schow, Utah Department of Veterans Affairs Executive Director, and other veteran community leaders joined together for the cutting of the blue and white ribbon dedicating the investment of about $4.2 million toward cemetery improvements. The improvements were funded by The National Cemetery Administration's Veterans Cemetery Grants Program.
Renovations included the construction of nearly 3,000 grave sites, a new maintenance facility, turf renovation and headstone cleaning and realignment, said George Eisenbach, the Veterans Affairs Cemetery Grants Program Acting Director.
"Veteran cemeteries are playing an increasingly important role in the way we honor those that serve the nation, as well as those that made the ultimate sacrifice," Eisenbach said.
Burials in Veteran Affairs funded cemeteries more than doubled between 2000 and 2012, he said, growing from 14,000 to about 31,000 per year.
"Many of those deserving veterans and family members would not have been served if (these) cemeteries didn't exist," Eisenbach said.
The renovations beautified the cemetery into a "world class facility" for the families of veterans to appreciate, Schol said.
"I've had a number of families come up to me and tell me how beautiful it looks," Schow said. "At the end of the day, if we have pleased those families, then that's what this is all about because this place contains their loved ones."
Schow said families of veterans can save themselves thousands of dollars of burial costs at the newly renovated cemetery, as veterans can be buried free of charge.
Just prior to the ribbon cutting ceremony, Eisenbach addressed those gathered around to witness the dedication of the cemetery's renovations.
"What I've seen here is amazing. The folks out here are enthusiastic and the grounds are beautiful—really, really beautiful. Nothing would have kept me from coming."
Around noon, a monument was dedicated to the special forces.
Color guard set the American and Utah flags in posts next to the Green Beret flag. The crowd stood, some with hands over their hearts, during the pledge of allegiance, and as the National Anthem and Ballad of the Green Beret played. Five commemorative planes flew overhead.
Two-dozen Green Beret veterans stood by the sheathed monument. Six of them worked to unveil the monument, dedicated to the 70th chapter of the Green Beret.
Gordon L Ewell, who attended the day's events, was a a veteran of the Army National Guard. He served for 24 years, including a one-year tour of duty in Iraq, where he was injured in several explosions and retired from service.
With a glass eye, hearing aids and two canes — one with a leather fringe handle and dozens of pins attached and a second, white-tipped cane — were visible reminders of his sacrifices in the military.
As he waited for the Green Beret ceremony, he said he felt gratitude for those who "paid the ultimate price for my freedom."
"It's a debt of gratitude you can't pay back but you do your best to pay forward," he said.

Posted by ESPN.com's Chris Low
One of the first calls Dan Mullen made before interviewing for the Mississippi State head coaching job back in December was to Matt Balis.
Why Balis?
Well, when you're in the business of rebuilding a college football program, the foundation of that program begins and ends with the strength coach.
So Mullen went out and snatched who he felt was the best strength coach in the country -- Balis.
Their relationship goes back to their days on the Utah staff under Urban Meyer, and they both followed Meyer to Florida. Balis had been the head strength coach at Virginia the last two years before reuniting with Mullen at Mississippi State.
Thanks to a grueling offseason program, the Bulldogs are already well-versed in the "Balis Way."
To this point, Balis has been around the players as much as anybody on the first-year Mississippi State staff, and in many ways, has been the eyes and ears for Mullen.
"There's a certain tempo we're trying to establish here at Mississippi State, and that's a high-intensity, disciplined atmosphere with a mental toughness about us," Balis said. "We believe in relentless effort and reaching your potential every day."
Balis likes what he's seen along those lines so far, and he's also impressed with the way the leadership has emerged.
"If you want to have a chance, your best players have to be your hardest working players," Balis said. "Our top guys also have to be the top guys in the weight room and the top guys in our conditioning program. I think we got that point across."
Senior middle linebacker Jamar Chaney doesn't need any translation. Balis said Chaney's leadership and his work in the strength and conditioning program these last five months have been invaluable.
Returning from a fractured leg suffered in the season opener a year ago, the 6-foot-1, 245-pound Chaney looks as good as he ever has. And more importantly, his work ethic has been infectious.
"Jamar Chaney understands the intensity that you have to play with at this level, and the kids really like and respect him," Balis said. "He's one of those guys who leads by example in everything he does."
He's also one of those "freakish" guys in the weight room who's put up eye-popping numbers.
Chaney squats 600 pounds, bench-presses 365 pounds, and weighing in at 245 pounds, was recently clocked at 4.55 in the 40-yard dash, according to Balis.
"He's quick as a cat and so explosive," Balis said. "In terms of freakiness, he's right up there."
Probably the strongest player on the team is junior center J.C. Brignone, who squats 600 pounds and bench-presses 400 pounds. The guy who did the most repetitions of 225 pounds on the bench-press was senior defensive tackle Kyle Love with 27.
Balis said one of the players who's made the most strides since he got him back in January is junior college newcomer Pernell McPhee. The 6-4, 275-pound junior is penciled in as the starter at right defensive tackle coming out of the spring and showed flashes of dominance.
"He came in and hadn't had much experience at this level, but his upside his ridiculous. He can be really special," Balis said of the 275-pound McPhee, who ran a sub-4.9 40-yard dash.
Senior running back Anthony Dixon, who shed 20 pounds to get down to 235, turned in a sub-4.6 40-yard dash and also squatted close to 500 pounds.
"It's a tribute to what he did this offseason," Balis said. "He dropped a ton of body fat. He'll have more energy and be able to run harder not carrying as much body fat. He's trained hard and worked hard at becoming more disciplined with his eating habits."
Balis said senior cornerback Marcus Washington turned in one of the fastest 40 times on the team with a 4.4. But Washington, who's now in the 195-pound range, also made significant strength gains and is now squatting close to 500 pounds.
The Bulldogs should be able to run with most teams in the SEC next season, Balis said. But that doesn't mean they're where they need to be.
"I think we could hold our own," Balis said. "We've got some speed, but you always need more. We're in the fastest league in America."

A funny thing happened as Nuggets guard Allen Iverson was about to address facing his old team, the Philadelphia 76ers, after practice on Monday.
Practice was canceled.
And before you could finish the phrase, "We're talkin' about practice," the man at the center of the Nuggets' revival was gone. No practice. No A.I. No talking. It doesn't mean his game won't spew out much more than his mouth ever could, anyway.
At least that's what the Nuggets hope.
"I'm sure he's going to be extremely excited," Nuggets coach George Karl said, adding that he does not expect Iverson to step out of the boundaries of Denver's system to prove a point to his former mates.
"He knows both sides," Karl said. "I think he wants to play great, but I think he also understands that we can't break away from building what we've been building. He's a pro. He's going to be fine. And if we can, we'll help him have a great game. If they triple-team him, we're going to have to find other ways to win the game. The most important thing, the No. 1 priority, maybe the only priority, is to win."
It is the first time Iverson will face Philadelphia. Before his arrival in Denver on Dec. 19, he had spent all 10 of his NBA seasons with the 76ers. The Nuggets have already traveled to Philadelphia, so Iverson won't return there for a game until next season.
With the Nuggets, Iverson has earned raves from teammates for his play on the court and his example off it. He has averaged 28.6 points, 8.8 assists and 3.0 steals in five games in Denver.
Asked whether Iverson has been as advertised or better, Nuggets forward Eduardo Najera said: "More, I think. His leadership out there has been very good for this team. We knew he was very talented, but he's been a great teammate, a great locker-room guy. He's a guy you want to have."
On the flip side, Philadelphia players can no longer hang their hats on stopping him in practice.
Mailbag Coming Soon
Post reporter Chris Dempsey will soon roll out the first Nuggets Mailbag installment of the new year. To submit your question, click here.
"He's such a great player," 76ers coach Maurice Cheeks said in today's editions of The Philadelphia Inquirer. "I haven't come up with anything yet. I don't know if anyone can. You just try to contain him the best that you can."
Feelings were frayed between Iverson and Cheeks in the days leading up to Iverson's trade to Denver. Looking back on it, Cheeks said he wished the last days between the two would have ended more positively.
"It's unfortunate. Let's put it that way," Cheeks said. "You don't like to see things go bad, but it's a coach-player relationship. I respect the guy a great deal. I have no hard feelings toward him. I wish him a lot of success, except (tonight)."

Great Blender for Light Duty
This review is from: DeLonghi DHB723 White Triblade Hand Blender
Pros: - Great for immersion blending on stove
Cons: - Does not blend ice
Other Thoughts: Really love the immersion in pan, sure beats doing batches in a std blender. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who makes a lot of soups/sauces. The processor attachment has replaced our little Cuisinart food processor, works rather well. All in all a great kitchen gadget to add convenience and some professional finishing touches to soups/sauces.

May 2, 2016
Dec. 14, 2013 NEW YORK (AP) -- Boston Bruins forward Shawn Thornton was suspended for 15 games without pay the NHL on Saturday for punching and injuring unsuspecting Pittsburgh defenseman Brooks Orpik.
Thornton went after Orpik during a stoppage in play Dec. 7, slew-footing him to the ice and punching him twice. Orpik sustained a concussion and was taken off the ice on a stretcher. Earlier, Orpik hit Boston's Loui Eriksson, knocking him out of the game with a concussion.
Thornton was assessed a match penalty.
Orpik hasn't played since the game.
The suspension will cost Thornton $84,615. He served three games of the ban before the length of the suspension was determined.

|Report to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC)
|The Canadian Television Rating System -- A Comprehensive Classification System for Violence and Other Program Content
|Report to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission from The Action Group on Violence on Television, April 30, 1997 (Excerpt)
The Action Group on Violence on Television is a pan-industry organization, formed in February 1993 to co-ordinate broadcast and cable industry strategies and initiatives to deal with the issue of violence on television. In response to CRTC Public Notice 1996-36, the Action Group re-activated and expanded its Classification Committee in April 1996. A co-ordination secretariat was established and a budget struck. Financial support for the project was provided by all sectors of the industry.
As protection of children has been the underpinning of how Canada has addressed the issue of violence on television, the first key question for the Committee was to deal with content in children's programming. As the Classification System will function as a component of the industry's Voluntary Code on Violence in Television Programming, it was important to build the ratings for children's programming on the foundation of the Children's Section of the CRTC approved Code, where there are strict rules clearly established for the portrayal of violence in children's programming.
While the Commission itself defined children as all youngsters under the age of twelve, the Committee felt that a single children's category would be too broad an age spectrum, and needed to be divided into two levels. Committee members, many of whom are parents themselves, turned to research undertaken by Dr. Wendy Josephson of the University of Manitoba. In her study prepared for the Department of Canadian Heritage, she noted that age eight has been identified as a watershed period for the effects of television violence on children, particularly in terms of being able to distinguish reality from fantasy.
With these two categories in place, establishing the levels of the rating system for non-children's programming emerged over subsequent committee sessions. In the end,

Anyone got any thoughts on this?
I run pearls and have low nutrient levels. I wouldlike to add a shoal into the reef. I think they would look great. I have a fair few fish but they all swim in half the tank. So the space is there. If there is space and water quality is good then I cant see why not add a shoal of damsels.

Dear SVA Student,
SVA requires students to have health insurance that meets certain requirements. To make sure all students have sufficient coverage, students are automatically enrolled in the SVA-sponsored Student Injury and Sickness Insurance Plan and billed by Student Accounts for the Health Insurance Fee. Students who have outside coverage and, therefore, do not wish to remain enrolled in the SVA-sponsored insurance plan, must provide information about their insurance coverage each year.
Each year SVA aims to get the best value for money plan for our students. For the 2015-2016 policy the health insurance fee is less this year than it was last year. Additionally, we have changed insurance companies allowing in network access to the Cigna PPO.
Please take a few minutes to review the SVA-sponsored Student Injury and Sickness Insurance Plan. Refer to the plan brochure by clicking on the "Brochure" link on the left hand side of this page. This plan provides coverage from August 25, 2015 through August 24, 2016 for students enrolled and attending the fall and spring semesters. Below are some of the highlights of the School of Visual Arts Student Health Insurance Plan:
- Access to CIGNA's nationwide provider network
- Unlimited maximum benefit per plan year
- 90% coverage for Preferred Care / 60% coverage for Non-Preferred Care
- Prescription drug coverage
- Mental health coverage
- Inpatient hospitalization coverage
- Travel Assistance Services
Upon reviewing the information, if you choose other coverage, please select the "Waiver Form" link on the left hand side of the page. A completed waiver form removes your from enrollment and the Health Insurance Fee. Read through the waiver form carefully, follow the directions and provide the requested information.
Students who elect to waive the SVA-sponsored Student Injury and Sickness Insurance Plan must submit this online form to provide proof of comparable coverage by the deadline date of October 8, 2015. If you do not complete a waiver form by the deadline date, you will be responsible for the Health Insurance Fee. If you have a life changing event (i.e. involuntary loss of coverage) and need to re-enroll in the SVA-sponsored Student Injury and Sickness Insurance Plan after submitting a waiver, please complete the Student Insurance Enrollment Form located at www.sva.edu/health and email or fax it to the SVA Office of Student Health and Counseling Services. If you need assistance while navigating this system, please contact our broker, University Health Plans, Inc., at 800-437-6448.
Best wishes,

This weekend heard the premieres of two moving, fluently crafted new works which wear their good intentions on their sleeves. No, not sleeves: as Las Vegas showgirl headdresses. Sorry if it sounds cynical, but one way for contemporary classical composers to spark that elusive audience enthusiasm might be to attach their works, as these two were attached, to unimpeachably worthy causes (q.v. also Matt Messina's Children's Hospital benefit, below on Reverb).
The pieces brought to mind the incendiary bomb dance critic Arlene Croce dropped in her 1994 New Yorker piece on Bill T. Jones's Still/Here, which incorporated videotaped testimony from terminal AIDS patients. Croce dubbed it "victim art," and wondered where that left discussion: "I have not seen Bill T. Jones's Still/Here and have no plans to review it. . . By working dying people into his act, Jones is putting himself beyond the reach of criticism. I think of him as literally undiscussable. . . a director-choreographer who has crossed the line between theatre and reality."Neither of this weekend's examples were nearly so blatant--and music being an art so much less concerned with representation, the issue doesn't come up all that often anyway--but they did raise similar critical questions. Can you judge the effectiveness of a work with an overt social message, like Robert Kyr's A Time for Life, without also judging the cause it espouses? Do you set back the cause if you criticize the piece? Suppose that rather than addressing an issue with which no one could take exception, he'd written something more divisive--say, an anti-abortion piece (Silent Scream, the opera)? Then how would I talk about it? Would it be possible to find flaws in Gerard Schwarz's musical tribute to his Holocaust-victim grandparents without dishonoring their memory? Missing the point? Coming off like an asshole?
As it happened, both pieces proved pretty successful. Kyr, a University of Oregon faculty member, wrote his cantata on environmental concerns for Cappella Romana's eight solo singers and for three string players (Margriet Tindemans, Shira Kammen, and David Morris), who played it at Town Hall Saturday night. Kyr drew the text from Native American, Biblical, and Greek Orthodox liturgies, and divided it into three sections: "Creation," in praise of God and Nature; "Forgetting," the warning (and finger-wagging); and "Remembering," an exhortation to take responsibility for the earth. Much of this is set for one singer at a time, with other voices providing simple drone support--effectively setting up the lush and satisfying chorales in the final section, where all eight singers at last come together and fade out in a long floating meditation on a serene seventh chord. Kyr skillfully includes some beguiling text-painting, almost in Handelian style--for example, near the end of "Creation," when curling string arpeggios accompany the line "The great sea has set me in motion, set me adrift."
With a similar unabashed pictorialism, Schwarz's Rudolf and Jeanette--an homage to his maternal grandparents, murdered in a Latvian concentration camp--is based on a program almost naive in its directness. Commissioned by Music of Remembrance, he led its premiere Sunday afternoon at Benaroya Recital Hall. Dreamy, rippling "once-upon-a-time" music for harp, celesta, and flute opens the work, scored (gorgeously) for 14-piece chamber orchestra. Love music, not stinting on the surging Tchaikovskian sequences, morphs into a sinister march, which in turn builds and breaks off suddenly at a peak of chaos to reveal a nostalgic waltz played offstage on strings and piano. (Schwarz shows the same knack for sonic stage management as a composer that he has as a conductor: he relishes stunts like having trumpeters march down the Benaroya Hall aisles at the climax of The Pines of Rome.)
His funeral march seems to carry the ghost of the march in Beethoven's Third Symphony, as if Schwarz designed his music as an accompaniment to this unheard tune (the same tune Richard Strauss quoted in his 1945 Metamorphosen, his postwar Requiem for German romanticism). At the work's close, the dream ends, with the opening harp/celesta music transformed into something bleak and icy.
I do have reservations, though, about another work on the MoR program: Thomas Pasatieri's song-cycle Letter to Warsaw, settings of poems by Polish cabaret artist and Holocaust victim Pola Braun. I don't object to his music's romanticism (in an idiom which makes Barber's Knoxville: Summer of 1905 sound brittle and edgy), but I do wonder if its relentless soaring opulence is truly the most effective way to present the text, to convey the bitterness and wryness of Braun's poems. Does his music's ear-cushioning sumptuousness frame, enhance, contribute to what Braun is saying, or distract from it? Was I the only listener whose ear was so seduced by the music's sweep and color that more than once I had to pull myself up short and remind myself to focus on the words Jane Eaglen was singing?

Yolanda Adams blesses Warrior Country during concert
April 26, 2009
CASEY GARRISON - Gospel sensation Yolanda Adams came to entertain Warrior Country Soldiers and Family members with a concert at the USAG-Casey Hanson Field House, April 18. The show was the second of the four Adams performed during her tour in Korea.
Adams opened the show immediately thanking Family, Morale, Welfare and Recreation for inviting her to perform in Korea and to the Soldiers stationed in Korea.
"Thank you for all the work you do and for the work that people do not know you do," Adams said.
"The purpose is to encourage the Soldiers and their Families and to thank them for all the work they do and to be a blessing because when you touch a person's heart it speaks volumes," Adams said.
At the conclusion of the show, Adams was presented with a plaque from Cpt. Tony Hampton, 2nd Infantry Division Squadron Chaplain, in appreciation for coming to Warrior Country. Seeing that the show was near the end, Hampton brought his 8-year old daughter, Hadassah, to the stage for a song request.
"This is Warrior Country and it would only be fitting to have 'Victory' played for the Warriors out there because we need one," Adams said as the band started the 2006 Grammy winning song for best gospel performance "Victory."
Adams is going to Detroit. next starting her tour in support of nutritional awareness. Adams is currently hosting a morning radio show and is working with dermatologists on a few skin products, in light of her niece and nephew who have eczema; to help treat children. When asked about her musical career, Adams says she is not finished, and is currently working on another album to be released in the near future.
"God has been good to me, God has been really good to me," Adams said. "God blessed me (with the ability to sing) and I sing about his praises and the positive things in life compared to other artists singing. If you look at the some of the top R&B songs they are so depressing, and I just want to remind you all that life is beautiful and I just want to sing about how beautiful God created you."
Yolanda Adams hails from Houston, and pursued a musical career in 1987 with her first album "Just as I am," which hit the Billboard charts for Best Gospel Albums at No. 8.. Adams continued singing her message of God's love by putting out 11 more albums with four taking place on the Best Gospel Album at No. 1. In 1999, Adams was recognized for the Best Contemporary Soul Gospel Album by the Grammy's, and in her career has won a total of four Grammy's as well as four Dove awards, three BET soul awards and seven NCAAP Image awards.
