In his second installment, WJC alumni Brian Sutherby talks about his behind the scenes experiences as a member of Team Canada back in 2002. It's pretty sweet if you ask us- WG
With the NHL on a two day break, things begin to ramp up for Canadian hockey players and fans. The World Junior tournament and thoughts of Gold move to the top of everyone's Christmas wish list.
Christmas is the time of year where loved ones get together for a couple days and enjoy each others company. Much the same, Team Canada has been doing exactly that for the last ten days. Bonding together, learning to trust one another, and becoming a family.
In a short period of time Hockey Canada has to bring 22 young men from all over the country and make them one. As far as preparation goes, Team Canada won't be out matched by any country. Practices, video study, and off ice training are as crucial as ever to this team's success, but Hockey Canada will tell you that's not all.
With different personalities on and off the ice, there is far more that goes into building this team then a lot of people see. Since summer camp in August through this stretch leading up to the tournament, team brass is looking at a player's character, discipline, and ability to mesh with teammates as much or even more than on ice play.
Selfishness is absolutely not accepted. Players are asked and told time and time again, to put the team ahead of themselves. If this is something they cannot do, they will simply be shown the door.
The days leading up to the tournament are spent grooming all of these qualities and ensuring everyone is pulling in the same direction. Aside from the exhibition games; team building drills, card games, soccer games, and dinners are several things used to bring this group together.
With most players being go-to guys on their junior teams back home, egos or individuality is a fine line to monitor. Coaches and staff have the task of making sure everyone is towing the same rope. Most players are used to and capable of doing it all for their team during the regular season.
All the guys on Team Canada usually have a confident swagger that is absolutely needed to be a great player. It is imperative to have but at the same time it also needs to be dialed back at times in a short tournament like this.
I learned this rather quickly in 2002.
Our first exhibition game in the Czech Republic was against a Division 2 professional Czech team. Late in the game we were up 6-1, I took a hit that was definitely dangerous and from behind. I got up like I had every other time in my hockey career where I felt wronged and punched the guy. I hit him again for good measure before the linesmen intervened. We both went to the box and I thought nothing of it as we won the game 7-1.
The next day we were wrapping up our video session that was fairly loose given our victory and our coach Stan Butler developed an irritated tone, "There was only one thing last night I never want to see again from our team." The clip starts rolling of my incident the night before.
I sunk in my chair a little bit.
"Sudsy what if this was the Gold medal game? This can never ever happen again, you understand?"
The message was clear. No matter how bad, how dirty, or how wronged I felt. That was not accepted on this team.
Despite hearing our Coach the first time, I was just as dumb and reckless the next night. I honestly didn't know how to play any other way. It was just an exhibition game but it was as fast and intense as any game I have ever played. At least it felt that way to me.
Once again my emotions got the best of me. I feared what was coming as I skated to the bench following my second elbowing penalty of the night. Stan grabbed me by the shoulders and leaned right down and whispered in my ear, "I don't care if you have made this team; if you take one more penalty you will not play one shift in this tournament!"
Say no more. I knew I needed to change my game and adapt in a hurry.
In the actual tournament in 2002, I was spit on in a game versus the Russians. It was the most ridiculous thing that had ever happened to me and the most difficult moment in my hockey career to skate away from, but I managed to.
I can assure you without the strict discipline pounded into me those days leading up to the tournament, I likely would have been ejected for what I wanted to do in that moment.
To this day, I still think about being alone in a dark alley with that guy, but in that game all I could think about were my coach and my teammates. Nothing was more important than our aspirations for the gold medal. The message was received this time.
Over the last ten days and the next two weeks, many players will have already faced or be faced with situations that question their character and dedication to the team whether it's on or off ice.
Rest assured Hockey Canada has done endless research and preparation and will guide this team to be a machine of ultimate sacrifice for one another.

FISTivus to allovus! I can't believe that I'm the FIST to stumble home after a FISTivus bash and peruse the nation. This will indeed be an epic WJ contest, so sad that the bunz will be missing. All the best to my bruthas from otha muthas.
Can't wait til boxing day, see you at Rexall, Team Canada!
December 24 2011, 08:08AM
Goal tending on this team scares me :(
I am excited for the kids and our chances, but last nights game was more than a little scary.
Also the fact that these are just kids is stopping me from making sarcastic Visentine comments. I hope he finds his game in a BIG way :)
December 24 2011, 09:45AM
Based on last nights action, Visentine was a mistake. They should have taken Bunz over him. Tylers numbers were way better thru the start of this CHL season.
December 24 2011, 12:10PM
Cool article Brian! I recall the game where the"incident" happened, and I hope that encounter in the dark alley occurs! ha
Anyone else K.Bieksa's comment about the WJHC? What a major ass the man is. Sour grapes much? Reason 689 to hate the Nucks. Bieksa thinks the WJHC's are a waste time and there more important things to do at Christmas. It starts on Boxing Day you dumbass. And they wonder in Vancouver wht 90% of Canada was cheering for the Bruins.
December 27 2011, 07:20PM
Where is Alexander Svitov today anyway? And did you ever get to exact your revenge later in your career?
You know, I always wondered how you had the discipline NOT to react; I was always amazed by that! Thanks for explaining what led up to it!

Box score
WORCESTER, Mass. - The trio of Adam Johnston, Dante Fantoni and Jonathan Stumpf combined for 10 goals while a strong Mountain Hawk defense held Holy Cross to only 18 shots as the Lehigh men's lacrosse team (5-4, 2-1 Patriot League) cruised to an 11-5 win on Saturday. The Mountain Hawks have now won two of their first three league games for the first time since 2006.
"I'm proud of our guys," said Lehigh head coach Kevin Cassese. "They really came to play. We talked a lot about the tail end of a long week. We had three games in seven days. The last time we had that, we didn't perform very well in the final game. I thought the guys did a nice job [this time around]."
The Mountain Hawks opened up a 10-1 lead before a feisty Holy Cross squad responded with four of the final five goals. A physical game featured 13 penalties, including 10 on the Crusaders. Lehigh also finished with 10 caused turnovers, led by two apiece from sophomores David DiMaria, Mike Noone and Noah Molnar. Freshman Ty Souders was sensational on defense, scooping a career-high four groundballs along with a caused turnover.
"The defense did a nice job of getting the ball to the ground and creating a 50-50 groundball," said Cassese. "We didn't come up with all those, but we came up with some and got it to our offense. They played a lot of minutes on Tuesday night against a very good Army team. We asked a lot of them to show up and play great today and for the most part, they did."
Johnston's four goals gave him his 10th career hat trick while Fantoni and Stumpf each added three. For Fantoni, it marks his seventh-career hat trick while Stumpf now has two. The trio each added an assist, giving Johnston five points on the afternoon and Stumpf four, which each tied their respective career highs. Sophomore Kyle Stiefel accounted for Lehigh's only other score.
Junior Cameron Lao-Gosney's six-game streak with multiple goals ended, but he did dish out a pair of assists, as did DiMaria. Overall, Fantoni's point streak is up to 21 while DiMaria's has reached 19.
Lehigh controlled possession early, but a strong and aggressive Holy Cross defense kept the Mountain Hawks off the scoreboard until the 10:37 mark, when Stiefel finished his third goal of the season, taking a feed from Cameron Lao-Gosney and making a quick shot past Crusader goalie Kenny O'Connor to make it 1-0.
The Mountain Hawks added two more goals in the quarter, by Johnston and Stumpf, to make it 3-0 after one.
Fantoni scored the first two goals of the second quarter, at 12:44 and 6:01, to make it 5-0 with 6:01 remaining. Johnston then finished a nice feed from Cameron Lao-Gosney at 3:37 to make it 6-0 before Holy Cross got on the scoreboard 30 seconds later to pull within 6-1 at the half.
Lehigh scored the first four goals of the second half to extend its lead to 10-1. Johnston began the scoring at 11:08, then, after Stumpf and Fantoni found the back of the net, he added his fourth of the game for a nine-goal advantage at 1:50.
Holy Cross did respond with a goal only 13 seconds later, while netting three of the four fourth-quarter scores to pull closer at the final horn.
"Holy Cross played hard throughout," said Cassese. "Our guys were very patient against their zone. They shot the ball well early in the game and that proved to be the difference."
Lehigh held the final shot and groundball edge, 40-18 and 30-22, respectively. The Mountain Hawks won 9-of-19 faceoffs, including 7-of-15 from sophomore Ryan Snyder, who scooped six groundballs to up his season total to 74. Holy Cross turned the ball over 19 times to Lehigh's 12. Sophomore goalie Dan Carr finished with four saves on eight shots before being relieved by sophomore Griffin Farha, who made one stop in the final 2:32. O'Connor had nine saves for the Crusaders.
The Mountain Hawks return to the Ulrich Sports Complex for their first of six straight home games to end the regular season, when they host Binghamton next Tuesday (Mar. 29) at 7 p.m. Lehigh will then welcome Penn State on Saturday (Apr. 2) for a special 1 p.m. faceoff in Goodman Stadium.
"It's exciting to return home and be able to play in front of home crowd," said Cassese. "But for me, you treat every game like it's the most important one. We're happy to have six straight home games to end the year, but they're against some top-notch opponents. Regardless of where the game's played, we'll have our work cut out for us."

China's Turn Against Law
Carl F. Minzner
Fordham University - School of Law
February 22, 2011
American Journal of Comparative Law, 2011
Washington University in St. Louis Legal Studies Research Paper No. 11-03-01
Chinese authorities are reconsidering legal reforms they enacted in the 1980s and 1990s. These reforms had emphasized law, litigation, and courts as institutions for resolving civil grievances between citizens and administrative grievances against the state. But social stability concerns have led top leaders to question these earlier reforms. Central Party leaders now fault legal reforms for insufficiently responding to (or even generating) surging numbers of petitions and protests.
Chinese authorities have now drastically altered course. Substantively, they are de-emphasizing the role of formal law and court adjudication. They are attempting to revive pre-1978 Maoist-style court mediation practices. Procedurally, Chinese authorities are also turning away from the law. They are relying on political, rather than legal, levers in their effort to remake the Chinese judiciary.
This Article analyzes the official Chinese turn against law.
These Chinese developments are not entirely unique. American courts have also experienced a broad shift in dispute resolution patterns over the last century. Litigation has fallen out of favor. Court trials have dropped in number. Alternative dispute resolution mechanisms have increased in number. Observing such long-term patterns, Marc Galanter concluded that the United States experienced a broad "turn against law" over the 20th century.
China's shift also parallels those in other developing countries. In recent decades, nations such as India, Indonesia, and the Philippines have resuscitated or formalized traditional mediative institutions. This is part of a global reconsideration of legal norms and institutions imported or transplanted from the West.
Despite these similarities with global trends, this Article argues that Chinese leaders' shift against law is a distinct domestic political reaction to building pressures in the Chinese system. It is a top-down authoritarian response motivated by social stability concerns.
This Article also analyzes the risks facing China as a result of the shift against law. It argues that the Chinese leadership's concern with maintaining social stability in the short term may be leading them to take steps that are having severe long-term effects of undermining Chinese legal institutions and destabilizing China.
Last, this Article argues for rethinking the trajectory of Chinese legal studies. Scholars need to shift away from focusing on formal Chinese law and legal institutions in order to understand how the Chinese legal system actually operates and the direction it is heading.

|1st Sosnowiec Symposium on Communication across Cultures: Face and Interaction

|Sosnowiec, Poland

|Meeting Description:
|The Sosnowiec Symposium on Communication across Cultures is to bring together an international group of researchers who study interpersonal communication, its cross-cultural and intercultural aspects in particular. The term 'cross-cultural' is used […] to refer to the communication process that is comparative in nature (e.g., comparing conflict styles in cultures X, Y and Z), while the term 'intercultural' is used to refer to the communication process between members of different cultural communities (e.g., business negotiations between a Dutch importer and an Indonesian exporter) (Ting-Toomey, 1999:16).
The special theme of the symposium is Face and Interaction and thus focuses on the concept of face and its role in social interaction. As a scholarly concept face has existed for about sixty years. It was first introduced to academic discourse by Erving Goffman. Goffman created a theoretical construct and based it on the Chinese concept of face, as presented by Hsien Chin Hu (1944), in her seminal paper on Chinese face, and on some sociological theories (e.g., Emile Durkheim, 1915). Goffman's ideas about face and facework became an inspiration for representatives of many areas of social sciences.
Face is a multidimensional concept, involving psychological and social motivation, cultural knowledge, and the ability to perform appropriate roles; and as such it deserves to be presented in an interdisciplinary perspective. Thus the main aim of the CC2013FACE Symposium, which is the first of its kind in Poland, is to provide a forum for theorists and researchers working in fields such as linguistics, sociology, social psychology, communication studies, business studies, organizational studies and philosophy, though the symposium is open to all interested parties who would like to share with us their ideas about face.
We are pleased to announce that the following scholars have accepted to address the conference as plenary speakers:
Francesca Bargiela-Chiappini (University of Warwick, UK)
Andrzej Łyda (University of Silesia, Poland)
Maria Sifianou (University of Athens, Greece)
Helen Spencer-Oatey (University of Warwick, UK)

For the past year the Museum of the San Rafael in Castle Dale has been the center of artistic creativity as work has been underway to create a colorful new exhibit.
The entire east wall of the exhibit hall is alive with a panorama mural of the San Rafael Swell. Artist, Clifford E. Oviatt, has spent many months painting Bottle Neck Peak and Window Blind Peak, with the San Rafael River running through the mural. Adding to the mural, is a desert scene showing new animals in their natural habitat along the entire base of the mural. The public is welcome to share in the celebration on July 10. There will be a reception at 6 p.m. and a program at 6:30 p.m. Guest speaker will be Ron Hodson, with the Division of Wildlife Resources who will tell participants all there is to know about Bighorn Sheep.

Missing Gems
"Let me start by saying these shoes are absolutely adorable and truly comfy. I bought them to wear for my graduation and spent the whole day in them without feeling any pinching, pain, blistering, etc. However, while I love them I'm only giving them 4 starts instead of 5 because after just that single day of wear some of the gems have disappeared. Unfortunatley I didn't notice them fall off so am not able to just reglue them back on. So I will now have to hunt in a crafts store for similar ones because the black versions are no longer available in my size for a simple exchange & I don't want to give up such a fabulous shoe :("

"I bought the blue pair and ended up returning them because they didn't fit me (I ordered a half size larger than I normally wear so it wasn't the make of the shoe that was at fault). Although, even if they had fit me, I probably would have returned them regardless because the mesh netting that makes up the bow and upper is nude, which distorts the blue color of the area that it covers."

My Glass Slipper =)
"The shoes are incredibly comfortable! And are just as gorgeous in person and on the foot. They will look fantastic with my Ivory gown. The only thing I did kind of get bummed about was that the champagne color on the website almost looks like a dusty rose but when I got them they were a dusty champagne color you know like a pale gold almost? I was looking forward to the dusty pink and I was thinking for a second about sending them back but then I realized they will look better and mach better with my dress than the dusty pink ones would have. So all in all everything turned out perfect! I keep getting texts from my bridesmaids saying that they keep looking at the picture I sent them of the shoes cause they are so gorgeous =)"

AGD: Return of the Mack
Kent Wilson
January 04 2013 02:40PM
Time: 8:00pm MST
Location: Abbotsford entertainment and Sports Center
Broadcast: teamradio.ca
An ugly December is finally behind the Heat. After tearing through the league and piling up victories in October and November, Abbotsford hit a somewhat predictable speed bump in the third month. A dry spell killed their offense, the goalies were slightly more human, so the easy winning stopped.
The Heat certainly aren't as good as they appeared initially, but they probably aren't as bad as they have seemed the last few weeks either. They get a chance to leave December's doldrums behind the tonight against the Rochester Americans (Buffalo's AHL affiliate), perhaps bolstered by the return of Sven Baertschi who was injured for entirety of the month long cold snap.
Baertschi won't necessarily be a cure-all for what ails the Heat's anemic offense - no one player would be - but the club has nevertheless sorely missed his offensive skills and creativity, which are currently unmatched on the roster. His addition should help the first unit PP and top ES line generate a few more dangerous shots on goal per night at the very least.
The Americans are currently 10th in the Western Conference with 35 points, but only 4 points back of Abbotsford with a game in hand. Former Canucks and point-per-game player Cody Hodgson recently returned from injury and has eight points in his last seven games.
The Lineup
Assuming Baertschi does indeed return tonight, we might see Ward return to the Walter, Horak and Baertschi trio he seemed to prefer before Sven got hurt. If so, that will make a big jumble of the other lines.
- Baertschi - Walter - Horak
- Kolanos - Byron - Street
- Bancks - Laing - Olson
- Aliu - Reinhart - Nemisz
- Brodie - Piskula
- Breen - McCarthy
- Callahan - Lamb
- Taylor
Despite the team's overall offensive struggles, Krys Kolanos has recently come alive and looked much more like the scoring leader he was last season. He has six points in his last four games.
The amount of guys not scoring is much more plentiful, however. Roman Horak has returned to Earth after his early season tear. He had just six points in 13 games in December, including one point in his last six. Max Reinhart and Greg Nemisz, on the other hand, make Horak's output look Datsyukian in comparison - Max has just 4 points in 31 games all year (two in December) while Nemisz has yet to mark the scoresheet in 13 games. Both are more or less 4th liners for the team right now, so absent a move up the roster it's going to be hard for either of them to break out in any meaningful way.
On the back-end, there is TJ Brodie and then everyone else three miles behind him.
Leland Irving was the back-up for the S/O loss to Peoria last game, so maybe he'll get a shot as a starter tonight. He played just one game in December - a loss - so it has become plain the coaching staff much prefers Taylor and Brust to the former first rounder.
The Opposition
Although they boast a few decent NHL prospects at forward, including Luke Adam, Marcus Foligno and Kevin Porter, the Americans are actually led in scoring (in terms of both points and goals) by defender TJ Brennan.
- Foligno - Hodgson - Mancari
- Adam - Porter - Flynn
- Rankin - Tarnasky - Schofield
- Varone - Girgensons - Roy
- Brennan - McNabb
- Pysyk - Finley
- Biega - Gauthier-Leduc
- Leggio
I'm not sure what possessed the Sabres to rush their recent first rounder Zemgus Girgensons to the AHL, bu the move hasn't paid off much for the youngster, at least in terms of short-term returns. He has just six points in 26 games played, including two in ten games in the month of December. The Latvian native played in the USHL last season - a step down from the NCAA - so he should probably be playing college hockey ro some equivalent this year.
Sum it Up
The December struggles have more or less eaten up the cushion Abbotsford built over the rest of the field in the first six weeks or so. They are now tied for 4th in the West with Houston, but remain a mere 4 points out of 11th. As a result, the team will have to begin winning a bit more regularly if it wants to keep its head above the playoff waters, let alone stay amongst the conference leaders.
If Sven can come back and be himself right away, that makes a big difference. Having two lines that can be a threat is, let's say maybe 4X better than one. And he makes everyone else better.
Like when he came back last year, however, he'll probably need a couple of games to get it going again.
Defense first style and goaltending will probably still have to be relied on to pull this one out.
January 04 2013, 03:04PM
I feel as though Sidney Crosby could single-handedly cure the Heat's anemic offence, and therefore I must disagree to some extent with your article.
January 04 2013, 04:17PM
That's more like it! Pedantry complete.
January 04 2013, 05:45PM
There is, fortunately, a huge difference between Reinhart and Nemisz. Nemisz has been completely useless to the point of, (he should be demoted to the ECHL) no matter where he plays on the Heat he produces nothing. Maximus, on the other hand, has been very unlucky to not have more points and has looked far more effective when actually moved to the top 6 lines.
Ward has buried Max in his own zone most games. Manny Malholtra style. But he has also given him some excellent PP and PK time. I think this will be a big growth year for the kid. Unfortunately, I think Nemisz isn't gonna be given another contract, because, he just doesn't deserve one.
"Ward has buried Max in his own zone most games. Manny Malholtra style."
Ward obviously recognizes Reinhart's strengths then. His upside was always as a defensive specialist who wouldn't hurt you offensively.

Sean Lamont returns to Glasgow's starting XV for the second leg of the 1872 Cup derby with Edinburgh at Scotstoun on New Year's Day.
Sean Lamont returns to Glasgow's starting XV for the second leg of the 1872 Cup derby with Edinburgh at Scotstoun on New Year's Day.
Lamont, who has been out of action since November with an ankle injury, comes in on the left wing.
Stuart Hogg starts at full-back, with Sean Maitland occupying the right wing berth.
Byron McGuigan and Alex Dunbar form a new centre partnership, while Ruaridh Jackson and Henry Pyrgos come into the side at fly-half and scrum-half respectively.
In the forwards Ryan Grant continues at loosehead, with Dougie Hall coming in for Pat MacArthur at hooker and Ed Kalman replacing Jon Welsh at tighthead.
After starting last week's 20-16 victory over Edinburgh at Murrayfield, Tim Swinson and Tom Ryder once again combine in the second row.
In the back-row Rob Harley continues on the blindside, Chris Fusaro comes in at openside and captains the side, while Josh Strauss replaces Ryan Wilson at number eight.
Glasgow Warriors head coach Gregor Townsend said: "Edinburgh played really well against us last week and we know we face another tough game tomorrow night.
"These fixtures against our oldest rivals are the most anticipated games of the season. We are playing for a trophy and also valuable league points.
"I believe it's important to give players the opportunity to be involved in such an important series of games for the club.
"I expect those selected to deliver an 80-minute performance full of physicality, discipline and emotional control. That's what will be required to go on and retain the 1872 Cup."
Meanwhile, Edinburgh boss Alan Solomons has made one change to his starting XV.
Scotland prop Alasdair Dickinson returns from last week's rotated rest break to start the match, with Wicus Blaauw moving to the replacements' bench.
"I think Wicus [Blaauw] did very well and the more he has played the better he has got, but Ally [Dickinson] has been in a rich vein of form and we welcome him back to start the match," said Solomons.
"I think we can take heart from the fact that we were in the driving seat for much of last week's match however we failed to capitalise on some clear opportunities. Conversely, Glasgow took their chances.
"We know going to Glasgow is not going to be easy. They are on their home turf and are obviously in a strong position having taken the lead last week.
"We know it's going to be a tremendous challenge but the whole team is looking forward to it.
"Derbies are important games and the 1872 Cup has to be valued.
"It has a rich history and tradition but at the same time one cannot lose sight of the fact that it is a competitive match in the RaboDirect PRO12.
"That does not create a deflection of focus for us. It is an important game for two very good reasons."
Form: Their victory in the reverse of this fixture at Murrayfield on Boxing Day means that Glasgow Warriors last seven games in the RaboDirect PRO12 have all been won by the away side on the day. The Warriors have slipped to defeat in their last three fixtures at Scotstoun in all tournaments since beating Exeter there in the European Cup on October 20. Edinburgh begin the first of four successive away games in the PR012, having won just once on the road in the tournament since December 2012: 9-7 at Zebre in March. Edinburgh have won only one of their last ten contests with Glasgow since 2008: 28-17 at Murrayfield on January 2, 2011. Edinburgh's most recent victory on Glasgow soil was 25-16 at Hughenden on December 27, 2003.
The teams:
Glasgow: 15 Stuart Hogg, 14 Sean Maitland, 13 Byron McGuigan, 12 Alex Dunbar, 11 Sean Lamont, 10 Ruaridh Jackson, 9 Henry Pyrgos, 8 Josh Strauss, 7 Chris Fusaro (c), 6 Rob Harley, 5 Tom Ryder, 4 Tim Swinson, 3 Ed Kalman, 2 Dougie Hall, 1 Ryan Grant.
Replacements: 16 Pat MacArthur, 17 Jerry Yanuyanutawa, 18 Jon Welsh, 19 Leone Nakarawa, 20 James Eddie, 21 Ryan Wilson, 22 Niko Matawalu, 23 Duncan Weir.
Edinburgh: 15 Jack Cuthbert, 14 Dougie Fife, 13 Nick De Luca, 12 Ben Atiga, 11 Tom Brown, 10 Greig Tonks, 9 Greig Laidlaw (c), 8 Dave Denton, 7 Roddy Grant, 6 Cornell du Preez, 5 Ollie Atkins, 4 Grant Gilchrist, 3 WP Nel, 2 Ross Ford, 1 Alasdair Dickinson.
Replacements: 16 Aleki Lutui, 17 Wicus Blaauw, 18 Geoff Cross, 19 Izak van der Westhuizen, 2 Mike Coman, 21 Grayson Hart, 22 Tony Fenner, 23 Sam Beard.

The American Red Cross will be in Huntington to collect blood on June 14 from 2-7 p.m. The blood drive will be held at the Huntington Stake Center, 11 East 200 North.
According to Joe Black, donor recruitment representative for Central Utah, "In Utah, someone needs blood every eight minutes. In Utah, the Red Cross serves 31 hospitals, including the Castleview Hospital in Price and must collect about 440 units of blood every day to meet the demand."
There is no substitute for blood, it can only be collected from voluntary donors and the demand is constant.
Black explained that an accident can require anywhere from four-40 units of blood, cancer treatments take two-six units and even a premature baby birth can use one-four units of blood.
Verla Jensen is the blood drive coordinator for the Red Cross blood drive on June 14. Call her at (435) 653-2236 to make an appointment. Walk-ins are welcome but donors with appointments will receive priority.
Individuals unable to donate blood can still make a contribution by organizing a Red Cross blood drive or volunteering.
To find the nearest blood drive to you at other times call 1-800-REDCROSS or visit redcrossblood.org.

Browse the Marilyn Manson schedule above to see when he'll be singing "Tainted Love" on a stage near you!
About Marilyn Manson
In his previous life as a music journalist, Brian Hugh Warner was influenced by bands like Queen, David Bowie, Alice Cooper, and Nine Inch Nails. As his alter ego Marilyn Manson (a combination of Marilyn Monroe and Charles Manson) developed, Trent Reznor produced his first EP, Smells Like Children, which was certified Platinum and featured the hit single, a cover of the Eurythmics song, "Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)." Marilyn Manson tickets soon became highly sought after as this track became a mainstay on MTV. His band's debut album, 1994's Portrait of an American Family, was certified Gold and produced the singles "Get Your Gunn" and "Lunchbox." Manson's second full-length album, Antichrist Superstar, was essential to the band's crossover to mainstream music. The lead singles, "Antichrist Superstar" and "The Beautiful People," contributed to the album's enormous success, which sold over 7 million copies worldwide.
Manson's horror film-inspired persona came about as a result of experiences from his youth revolving around his grandfather's bizarre fetishes, forever embedding the grotesque imagery into his stage presence on Marilyn Manson tour dates. However, his aggressive style has generated many protests from religious and civic groups like the American Family Association. Manson has since made a successful career for himself and his band nevertheless both on the industrial metal scene and even in the mainstream. He has appeared David Lynch's 1997 film Lost Highway and dated Hollywood actresses Rosie McGowan and Evan Rachel Wood. In addition to appearing on Marilyn Manson tour dates, Warner has a role in the slasher film Splatter Sisters and he'll appear on breakout singer Skylar Gray's new album.
Manson's music was again criticized during the aftermath of the Columbine massacre in 1999. There were claims that his songs promoted violence, and thus was a factor in the school shootings. Manson subsequently commented on these allegations in Michael Moore's 2002 documentary, Bowling for Columbine. When asked what he would say to the Columbine shooters, Manson replied, "I wouldn't say a single word to them; I would listen to what they have to say, and that's what no one did." Despite findings that the shooters were not Manson fans after all, his music has been stigmatized due to the media's wrongful accusations. This perhaps influenced Manson to take a break from music and focus on filmmaking. In a 2005 interview with Rolling Stone, Manson said, "I just don't think the world is worth putting music into right now. I no longer want to make art that other people — particularly record companies — are turning into a product. I just want to make art."
However, in 2007, Manson released the band's sixth studio album, the Alice in Wonderland-inspired Eat Me, Drink Me, which debuted at No. 8 on the Billboard 200. There are many literary references on the album, including, but not limited to, Lewis Carroll, Lolita, and vampirism. The single "Heart-Shaped Glasses" was inspired by Vladimir Nabokov's controversial, yet undeniably brilliant,1955 novel. After 2012's Born Villain, Manson is finally releasing his next album, The Pale Emperor (2015) followed by "The Hell Not Hallelujah" tour. To see this multi-talented and brilliant man in the flesh, buy concert tickets now for a show you definitely won't forget!

What Makes Custom Knives Appreciate in Value
March 02, 2009by Les Robertson
If you ask most custom knife buyers, they will tell you that they "buy what they like," with all other considerations being secondary—including the knife's ability to appreciate in value.
Being a custom knife purveyor, one of the ways I stay in business is by buying and selling knives that appreciate in value.
That being said, what is it that makes a knife appreciate in value?
First off, innovators and innovations always find their way to the top. If you look at the majority of the "in-demand" work today, the makers of said work have in some way made major contributions to their particular categories of knives.
Four Innovation Categories
Innovation comes in four basic categories: design, utilization of materials, a combination of "art" styles, and craftsmanship. Definitions of each:
•Design is composed of both the actual two-dimensional knife design and/or the realization of the design in the form of a working knife;
•Utilization of materials is the ability of a maker either to create or work with new materials previously unused on custom knives. Examples include the first uses of damascus, titanium, carbon fiber, etc.;
•A combination of art styles is the ability of a maker to incorporate other art forms into his/her knives. Examples are engraving, scrimshaw, semi-precious gemstones, etc. The maker's ability to actually do the work is often referred to as sole authorship; and;
•Craftsmanship goes beyond a maker's ability to build a custom knife; it refers to a high level of knifemaking proficiency that is recognized not only by collectors but the maker's peers. Such craftsmanship is reflected in a great variety of knife styles and encompasses skills with hand tools, other machines and the ability to incorporate natural materials into the work.
One thing all such makers have in common is they think "outside the box" when it comes to their knifemaking. Many become makers after handling a knife and thinking "I could make that" or "I could do better than that." However, for a maker's knives to rise to the level where they will appreciate in value, the maker must explore both the artistic and business sides of the equation. Ultimately, the maker's ability to create "buzz" about his/her knives will be essential to his/her success.
Exposure Early On
Prior to the internet, makers were limited in the amount of people they could meet. Knife shows and knife magazines were almost without exception the only ways to see knives. While some makers offered catalogs—most did not—the catalogs almost always contained black and white photos. The notable exception was Dave and Grace Harvey's Nordic Knives. The Harveys offered color photos with thei...

There is money to be made at home. Many gardeners and entrepreneurs earn extra money by raising it in their backyard. Farmers markets are becoming a popular place for young people, husbands, wives, and others to reap the rewards of a backyard garden.
Mike McCandless, Emery County Economic Development Director, and Wayne Urie, Castleland Resource and Conservation and Development, hosted a seminar entitled Profit in Your Backyard at the Museum of the San Rafael on May 4. During this seminar, those attending learned many valuable tips to help them market the products they raise in their gardens.
McCandless explained that this seminar is a result of the economic development councils work to bring some economic growth to Emery County. Lots of different things are happening out there and we need to begin thinking outside the box. There are alternative methods of earning money. The idea of a starting a farmers market may take a couple of years to get going, but this effort is a great way to get small agriculture going and make it a great success, said McCandless.
Urie told of one idea that is catching on in the northern part of the state, especially along the Wasatch Front. He explained that community supported agriculture is taking hold. This is a partnership between the consumer and the producer. This idea originated in Japan and began in Massachusetts about 20 years ago.
To begin a partnership, a consumer pays the farmer for a share of the yield of the farm before the growing season begins. These partnerships finance the farmer up-front. When the harvest comes in, the consumer receives an allotment of produce each week during the harvest season. The season may be divided into spring with items such as peas, spinach, and green onions, summer with items such as beans, corn, carrots, tomatoes and peppers, and fall for pumpkins, onions, beets and potatoes. Fruits may also be included in the partnership.
These partnerships allow the farmer to be paid up-front and the consumer to be guaranteed fresh, locally grown produce. They show the consumers willingness to support the local farms, and partnerships like these increase the understanding on the consumers part of how a farm functions. I feel something like this can be done in this area, and done successfully. We have other things around here to offer in the line of meat, eggs, honey and dairy, said Urie.
Sherryl Fowers of Lynn Fowers Fruit Ranch in Genola also gave a presentation. She explained how she markets her fruits and vegetables at farmers markets around Utah County. The first part of her presentation dealt with the cleanliness of the sellers and the stand itself. If a stand offers fruit tastings, food handlers permits must be held by the sellers. The Utah Board of Health has strict rules to follow for fruit stands. Each stand must have a kit that contains sanitizer for cleaning the cutting boards and surfaces in the stand. It also must have a means for the servers to clean their hands and utensils. Items such as hand wipes, paper towels, buckets, cutting boards, scissors, tape and a cooler for a water supply are good to have in the kit.
In my stands, I insist that the people who work there are well groomed and wear our logo shirt and apron. Customers do not want to sample fruit from an area that is dirty, so keep the tablecloths and the salespeople clean, organized and presentable, said Fowers.
She then explained that customers want salespeople who are knowledgeable about the type of produce they are selling. If a customer has a question about the type of cherry or peach and the salesperson cannot answer it, the customer is less likely to make a purchase. The salepeople must know the benefits and uses of each variety of produce being sold from the stand. Teach your employees to talk about the product and offer clean, fresh samples, Fowers added.
Fowers said that farmers markets may take several years to build up and advertising is a must. She said there are many organizations that are valuable for producers to get involved with. The first was the Farm Bureau because they really care about the farmers. Utahs Own is an organization that markets and promotes products with the Utahs Own brand. The Future Farmers of America is a great organization for youth in the agriculture industry. It teaches them the entrepreneurial skills they will need in the future.
I have done several market surveys with grocers and Utah produce has always won out for taste and color. Utahs climate is great for colorful produce, and it makes for fresher produce in the stores. Housewives must tell their grocers that they want Utah produce to insure the freshest possible product, as well as the tastiest and most colorful, said Fowers.
What does the consumer want? Fowers said to get to know your customer and their tastes. Each market has its own personality, background and ethnicity. Producers should cater to the needs and tastes of the clients. Accommodate your customers, no matter how much produce they want. If a person wants two ears of corn and not a dozen, make them a deal on the two ears. If you accommodate them, they will come back. She also said that flowers are becoming a great sales items at farmers markets recently.
Robert McMullin of McMullin Orchards, was next to speak. His family has been in the produce farming business for more than 30 years and their farm is 950 acres near Utah Lake. Our main focus is shipping. We process and ship our own produce. Most of our customers by in bulk, but we have had fruit stands over the years. I want to say that in addition to what Sherryl said, our main goal is quality, quality, quality. You must have a quality product that customers will return year after year to purchase.
We have found that customers want to buy directly from the farmers. We only sell what is fresh and ripe, although we do offer several grades of produce for reduced prices. If the customer has a choice, they are more satisfied, said McMullin.
He added that the farmers market experience must be different and more personal than the supermarket experience. Be friendly and courteous, talk to the customers and engage them in conversation. Salespeople should know about canning and yields per bushel of each type of produce.
Another point McMullin made was concerning the Utah State Legislature. He said they are trying to enact a law that says farmers would be required to charge sales tax on the items they sell. This would hurt the farmer by adding more book work and raise the price of their goods. It would not be good for anyone, said McMullin. He urged everyone to write to their legislators and encourage them not do to this.
Emery County Recreation will sponsor a farmers market this year. It will begin Aug. 12 and run from 9 a.m.-1 p.m., and continue through September. Local growers will be there to sell the homegrown and homemade products. Laura Burgess is the contact person at 381-2970 or 630-6397. The farmers market is looking for anyone with produce, crafts, and homemade items to sell.

More Virgin Blue Flights Between Maroochy And Melbourne07/07/2004
Low Fare Airline To Go Double Daily Due To Demand
Virgin Blue has announced it will increase the number of flights between the Sunshine Coast and Melbourne after it was identified as one of the most popular leisure routes on the entire Virgin Blue network.
The low fare carrier already flies daily between the two destinations but will ramp up to double daily just in time for the September school holidays.
The decision to increase services is a direct result of ongoing support and huge demand for more flights.
The route has proven so strong that Virgin Blue has re-jigged its schedule to put a temporary solution in place allowing more people to take advantage of great fares and service, with the introduction of an extra flight on Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 6 August taking the route to ten flights per week for the month of August. The route will then be increased to double daily as of 4 September.
The new flight will compliment the existing direct service, meaning that travellers, who have been taking advantage of other flight times via connecting services, will have another direct and more convenient flying option.
Virgin Blue spokesperson Amanda Bolger said, "We always knew the Melbourne-Maroochydore route was going to be a winner as its common knowledge that the Sunshine Coast is one of the preferred playgrounds for Victorians. Melbourne is also proving a big hit with Sunshine Coast shoppers keen to indulge one of Melbourne's most popular pastimes."
"We are excited to be in a position to add more seats to a market that is going from strength to strength in both directions as Victorians escape the winter chill by heading north and Queenslanders head to Melbourne to get a taste of winter".
Fares between Melbourne and Maroochydore start from $115* one-way on the net.
Another key route to benefit from the schedule shuffle is the Gold Coast, with Virgin Blue announcing it will re-time its first direct Melbourne-Gold Coast flight of the day from a 9.00am departure to 7.00am as of 4 September.
It comes in the wake of strong lobbying from the Gold Coast business community after the competition downgraded its business flights from Qantas to Jetstar.
Virgin Blue's new schedule is ideal for Melbourne based business Guests to fly up to the Gold Coast for the day to attend meetings and the business friendly schedule will be of great benefit in assisting to attract more interstate business people to the brand new Gold Coast convention centre.
Amanda Bolger said, "While the Gold Coast has long been known as one of Australia's premier tourist destinations, we are also very aware of the region's burgeoning business market. Virgin Blue is mindful of the need to cater to business Guests who want convenient and affordable flights without compromising on service."
Fares for Virgin Blue flights between the Gold Coast and Melbourne start from $115* one-way on the internet.
These schedule enhancements come hot on the heels of Virgin Blue's busiest month ever to date despite the fact that the airline has been faced with new competition in many markets. We are heartened by this ongoing loyal support from our Guests who clearly appreciate low fares, flexibility and quality service."
"We are committed to offering even more great deals on a long term basis and making sure we continue to support those regions that support Virgin Blue", Amanda Bolger finished.

Emery County Economic Development Director Mike McCandless gave an economic update to the economic development council and the Emery County Commission recently. He reported there are a lot of agencies doing economic development work in the county. One of his goals is coordinating efforts between the various agencies working on economic development. Agencies include the Division of Workforce Services, Utah State Extension Services, the applied technology college and others. "There are a large number of people providing services. We need to coordinate efforts and formalize relationships. The small business development council is receiving more grant money and we are working towards having a SBDC person in the county building two days a week to help with grant applications and provide needed information. There is money budgeted from the federal government for Emery County and we will be focusing effort, money and time in seeing that our local businesses know what's available. We are excited about this opportunity," said McCandless.
He said they have been working with the targeted industries task force to identify the needs of the businesses in the area of mining and health care. "There is currently a shortage of nurses. We're 80-90 percent sure that Moab will be getting a new hospital and 60 percent sure that Blanding will. We are not meeting the needs today in health care and we need to look at ways to fill those needs.
"We also have a need for qualified miners and we are working with the applied technology college on a 100 hour course for new miners with classes on hydraulics, electrical and human resources. Applicants are in need of basic work skills like arriving on time to work and other skills," said McCandless.
McCandless reported that the governor's rural partnership has also identified similar goals in working with cluster industries and having suppliers for local industries available locally.
McCandless said a big issue for locally owned businesses is health care and finding affortable health care for small businesses.
Opportunities also exist for tourism involving the Backcountry Pilot's Association. There are 20 backcountry air strips in Carbon and Emery counties. McCandless stressed the need to take advantage of these opportunities. Mexican Mountain is a popular airstrip with planes flying in and out frequently. "We need to turn these opportunities into economic advantage," he said.
Other opportunities mentioned were the people who use Joe's Valley for ice climbing and the Swell for bouldering activities. The people are there using Joe's Valley and the lodge and marina are closed during this time of year. "There's a group of people here ready to spend money and we need to make the ties and the connections to expand these activities and get some money from people visiting here."
McCandless also mentioned that he is interested in helping the communities develop play areas close to the cities where ATVs can be ridden. He thinks this could be a big asset and help to lower damage to the desert.
Green River is planning an economic development summit in to be held in Green River in late February or early March. Theyare looking for ways to capitilize on their assets.
One idea McCandless said he has received from Sharon Earl of the Emery County Chamber of Commerce is to help each business in the county to hire a new employee this year. McCandless will spend time going to each business to evaluate what's needed to help the businesses within the county to grow.
There are five economic development bills which will appear at the legislature this year and the McCandless is watching them closely. One of them deals with promoting tourism outside the state.
The states surrounding Utah far outspend it in advertising dollars to attract tourists to the state.
Concern for the management of Range Creek and what will happen to the artifacts recovered from there was also discussed.
McCandless thinks the county should use Range Creek as an opportunity for economic development and to bring about some long term benefits for the county.
Commissioner Ira Hatch would like to see the two museums in the county accredited so they could house artifacts and if there is expansion money available then the county museums should be considered in the process.
McCandless reported there is a call center project coming to the county incubator building in April.
