Jay Onrait and Dan O'Toole sitdown with DailyFaceoff
Nation World HQ
June 05 2014 03:33PM
Editor note: In case you missed it (because we did) our friends at DailyFaceoff interviewed Jay and Dan a couple weeks ago.
DailyFaceoff is based out of Canada, so naturally we tune in to TSN and other Canadian media outlets, and for our Canadian viewers, I know you love Jay Onrait and Dan O'Toole. They were in Canada, but now they have become the go-to for hockey highlights in the United States. After moving to Fox Sports 1, Jay and Dan consistently kick the Fox Sports Live coverage off with the NHL playoffs.
I recently got a chance to have a chat with Jay and Dan to discuss the playoffs, the move to Fox Sports 1 and loads of other intriguing NHL topics. Enjoy!
First off, is it Jay and Dan or Dan and Jay?
Dan – "We went with Jay and Dan, and I have no problem with that as long as my name is on the billing."
What is it like working in California opposed to in Canada?
Jay – "Weather comes to mind right away, it has been absolutely beautiful down here and we understand that you guys went through one of the worst winters in 30 years, we swear we didn't plan it that way, it kind of just worked out that way. Also, the people are really friendly. And most importantly we are being paid an exceptional amount of money."
Dan – "When we moved to the US we thought we would lose touch with what was going on in Canada, but with the internet and TV we feel like we're home at all times. We always know what's going on, we can watch every NHL game so we haven't really lost touch with anything."
Jay – "The NHL network picked up the TSN feed for the World Juniors on Boxing Day, so it feels like we never left really."
Conversely, what is something you miss about working in Canada?
Dan – "I miss maple syrup that comes from the taps in every home in Canada. I also miss Tim Hortons' steeped tea and maple-dipped donuts."
Jay – "I miss [Mayor Rob Ford]"
What would you say makes Fox Sports 1 different from ESPN?
Dan – "We try a lot of different things. We have Gary Payton, ESPN doesn't have him. And we have Charissa Thompson, who is a superstar in broadcasting. And we have Jay and Dan. Who else would bring down a couple of Canadians to try and take on the world of sports broadcasting?"
How have you guys enjoyed the Stanley Cup playoffs so far?
Dan – "Unreal. I think it has been one of the best playoffs. Three game 7′s in round one and three game 7′s in round two. Every major market has been represented and even the smaller markets like Columbus got a sniff of the playoffs. Every market needs that. If the NHL could give a grading to the playoffs to this point, I think it would be an A+. Also, throw the Olympics in there, which is a cherry on top, even though I hate cherries on top of things."
Jay – "I couldn't agree more with Dan, expect for the cherry on top, I like those. If you are a fan of the league and you want the league to succeed in the United States, you could not have picked a better final four. Americans are really fascinated with the Montreal Canadiens because they have this Yankees' feel to them, then you have three of the biggest media markets represented with the Rangers, Blackhawks and Kings. For the league it could not have even worked out better. I feel bad for the Habs and Carey Price, but they have had a great run and maybe they can pull out a miracle with Dustin Tokarski."
Who do you have facing off in the finals? Who wins?
Dan – "After the Olympic break and the Kings went on a tear, I picked the Kings vs. the Penguins, but unfortunately my East pick won't work out, hopefully the Kings will."
Jay – "If I were a betting man I'm obviously thinking it will be a Chicago vs. Rangers final. Hats off to Chicago, they were the lowest-of-low 10-15 years ago and now they are the league's model franchise."
If you were starting an NHL franchise and could choose any NHL player to start your team, who would you choose?
Dan – "I would pick one of those guys [Toews / Crosby] and in goal I would go with Carey Price, I love that guy. I can't pick a favourite, because I love all those guys."
Jay – "I would pick Carey Price, because I think if you have a goalie a lot of your team's mistakes can be covered up"
Do you guys play fantasy hockey?
Jay – "We played this year. It has become more fun with all the apps where you can change your lineup instantly on your phone, I give the world credit for that one."
Dan – "I used to be big into fantasy hockey when you used to sit around in someone's living round and everyone would pick their players and you would always have the annoying person in the fifth round "I will take Mario Lemieux" — he was gone second pick overall!" [We can all relate to this!]
How did you guys finish this season?
Jay – "I finished last."
Dan – "I finished second last. I kept forgetting to change my players out."
I guess you will have to tune into DailyFaceoff more next season!
Jay – Yeah we definitely will!
Jay, do you still drink out of your Gino Reda mug?
Jay – "I don't have it anymore. It was never my mug. TSN only made one of those mugs. It was like the holy grail itself. I had to cart it back to my apartment to do that blog. So the answer is no, I wish I did though!"
Dan, in a few words how would you describe Jay's Movember moustache?
Dan – "Scary. Terrifying. Not allowed near children."
Jay, how upset were you to see officer Bobrovsky get bounced back from the playoffs?
Jay – "I was happy that they [BOBROVSKY!] made it. I was happy they made the postseason. He kind of had a tough start, but bounced back towards the end. Hiring John Davidson as the president was really smart. They are in good shape I think."
Dan – "The worst thing for Bobrovsky was not starting for Russia in their elimination game, that was weird."
In one word describe Milan Lucic's handshake antics.
Jay – "One word? I can do poor sport."
Dan – "Bully."
What were your thoughts on P.K Subban's kiss on Pierre McGuire?
Jay – Jealousy. I'm just jealous!
I could care less, these guys jumped the shark long ago. They are not funny
I go back many years with Onrait. I only briefly met Dan. Kind of strange/funny watching you young dudes go crazy over them.
I'm not a dull guy by any means but for some reason i like my sports broadcasting dull. These guys never appealed to me and in fact i found them somewhat irritating. Although i love Geno!
Its complicated.
June 05 2014, 08:18PM
I blame Jay and Dan leaving for the Rodgers NHL buy-out. If they just stayed in Canada TSN would still have NHL games.
Of course none of this makes sense.
Did I just drop into Bizarro world? Who thinks these two doofuses are funny? Watching their shtrick was like babysitting two ADHD kids on sugar benders.
June 05 2014, 08:07PM
Those guys are a National Treasure... Changed sports broadcasting. Miss em'
I barely watch sportscenter anymore since these two have left, it's just not the same without them.
Why can't shaw just pick up Fox Sports 1? I've laughed more during this article then the last year watching SportsCenter.
June 06 2014, 01:52AM
These two play off each other so brilliantly. Never seen a pair of sportscasters this good.
Miss those guys... Sportscentre is pretty boring without them. I've been substituting with Ken and Evanka on Sportsnet. I find Reid mildly entertaining and Evanka, well, I like her alot.
Miss these guys, they were awesome on TSN, Sportscenter just ain't the same without Jay and Dan.
June 06 2014, 11:43AM
... I HATE very late in the world
...but I HATE that they left !
June 05 2014, 03:45PM
Welcome to the hiccups.

You Sir, should be drawn and quartered for the worst sense of humour and taste ever... Mind boggling really. I only hope you never ever produce anything related to entertaining people in any context... Shudder

The only issue is that sometimes they are uncomfortable. But they look really nice, and for small walking and going out to eat and whatnot they are prefect."

What do British Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne and American rhythm and blues singer Jeffrey Osborne have in common?
A case of mistaken identity by President Obama.
At this week's G-8 summit in Northern Ireland, Obama referred to George Osborne as "Jeffrey" on three occasions as the British finance minister gave a presentation of tax avoidance.
The Financial Times reported that "Mr. Osborne battled on in spite of the U.S. president having apparently forgotten his name. It was only after his presentation that Mr Obama realized his mistake and apologized."
"I'm sorry, man -- I must have confused you with my favorite R&B singer," Obama told (George) Osborne, the Financial Times reported, referring to the musical artist whose best-known song is 1982's On The Wings of Love.

How to Put Blush On
Get Cheeky
Get perfectly sculpted cheeks every time with these three easy steps for the blushing beauty.
Step 1:
Contour. To locate your cheekbones, make a "fish face" by puckering your lips and sucking in your cheeks (we're totally serious). Using the Angled Blush Brush, buff Giddy Pink Blush onto the apple of your cheek and back towards the center point of the ear. Remember to start with just a small amount of bareMinerals blush and build slowly to desired color intensity, always buffing in one direction from the center outward.
Items Used:
Step 2:
Soften. Let the Flawless Radiance Brush do the work as you blend and brighten with Pure Radiance All-Over Face Color. Soften your blush by applying Pure Radiance to the tops of the cheekbones. Then, blend the two shades together even more seamlessly by using the Maximum Coverage Face Brush to create a glowing effect on the apples of the cheeks and the cheekbones.
Step 3:
Detail. Score points with attention to detail. To highlight and emphasize your cheekbone, buff a hint of Pure Radiance All-Over Face Color on the highest part of your cheek using the Tapered Blush Brush. For a youthful glow, buff it across your forehead, down your nose and on your chin to reflect even more light.

Classic English Leather Cologne Is Back
In the 1970s the commercial campaign "All my men wear English Leather, or they wear nothing at all," made English Leather famous. But the truth is men have known and loved the scent of English Leather since it debuted in 1949. So why did it disappear? We looked and looked and finally found this popular cologne. Its trademark scent, with citrus, mossy, woody, and leather notes, still holds its appeal with women today. 3.4 oz.
- Hard-to-find cologne makes a popular comeback
- Distinguished scent is preferred by men and is a favorite of women, too

INDIAN WELLS, Calif. – Desperately wanting to play in her third straight ASICS Easter Bowl final, CiCi Bellis of Atherton, Calif., rallied to win the last four games to beat top-seeded Sofia Kenin of Pembroke Pines, Fla., 6-3, 4-6, 6-4, in the Girls' 18s singles semifinals on Saturday at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden.
"I had to stay really focused and try not to give away any free points," said Bellis, the No. 4 seed, who reached the girls' 14s final in 2012 and won the 16s last year. "I was really scared being down 4-2. And nervous."
Bellis, who turned 15 on Tuesday, will face fellow newly turned 15-year-old and No. 11-seeded Katie Swan of Wichita, Kan., Sunday in the final. Swan, who moved to the United States a year ago from Bristol, England, downed Michaela Gordon, the No. 7 seed from Saratoga, Calif., 6-0, 6-4, in the other semifinal.
After winning the first set, Bellis said she knew Kenin was prepared to play in her fourth consecutive three-set match. "She's a fighter and she never gives up," Bellis said. "She's a good player. When I won the first set I said to myself, 'You have two more sets to go.'"
Bellis called the ASICS Easter Bowl, "literally my favorite tournament. I don't know why it's so special, but it just is. Maybe it's because it's during my birthday."
Bellis won the USTA International Spring Championships last week and is looking to join Melanie Oudin and Krista Hardebeck as back-to-back International Spring Championships and Easter Bowl 18s winners.
Bellis knows Swan well from international events they've played. One of Swan's coaches is Colin Foster, the head women's coach at Wichita State University.
"It's amazing I'm in the final," Swan said. "I'm just playing really consistent and have been playing better every match."
Swan and her family moved to the United States a little over a year ago. They applied for a Green Card and were waiting for the receipt to show that they had applied; it came one week ago, enabling her to play in the International Spring Championships and the Easter Bowl.
Swan said she hit with Wimbledon champion Andy Murray as a young child and has also worked with his mother, Judy, who has served in the role as an Under 10 coach for Great Britain.
In boys's 18s play, top-seeded Francis Tiafoe of College Park, Md., advanced to his first Easter Bowl final with a 6-2, 6-2 semifinal win over Robert Levine, the No. 13-seeded player from Bedford, N.Y.
On Sunday, Tiafoe will play unseeded Nathan Ponwith of Scottsdale, Ariz., in the final. Ponwith beat Aron Hiltzik Wilmette, Ill., 7-6(5), 6-4, in the other semifinal. Hiltzik was forced to call for a trainer near the end of the match to work on an injured shoulder.
Ponwith's parents Jesse and Pam own the All About Tennis shop in Scottsdale, and the Ponwiths were named USTA Southwest Family of the Year in 2010.
Ponwith last played Tiafoe in the semifinals of Les Petits As, a top 14-and-under event in Tarbes, France, two years ago. He lost in three sets.
"I'm excited," he said. "I've wanted to play Francis for a while now. It's been tough because the expectations are high for the guys born during my year."
Ponwith was referring to the current top three players from the U.S. born the same year (1998) as he was. All three – Stefan Kozlov (No. 4), Tiafoe (No. 7) and Michael Mmoh (No. 9) – are currently ranked in the Top 10 of the world ITF rankings.
In the boys' 16s final, No. 9 John McNally of Cincinnati will play No. 2 Zeke Clark of Tulsa, Okla.
In the girls' 16s, top-seeded Katerina Stewart of Coral Gables, Fla., will take on unseeded Claire Liu of Thousand Oaks, Calif. Stewart has won eight of her 10 sets during the ASICS Easter Bowl by 6-0 scores. She recorded another double-bagel Saturday in the semifinals, blanking unseeded Maria Mateas of Braintree, Mass., 6-0, 6-0.
In the boys' 14s, top-seeded Steven Sun of Glen Cove, N.Y., will play No. 2 Keenan Mayo of Roseville, Calif.
In the girls' 14s, unseeded Ashley Yeah of Los Gatos, Calif., will play No. 3 Rachel Lim Rachel of Briarcliff Manor, N.Y.
In the boys' 12s, Daniel Sharygin of Newburgh, Ind., will play No. 16 Ronan Jachuck of Slingerlands, N.Y.
In the girls' 12s, No. 6 Katie Volynets of Walnut Creek, Calif., will face No. 9 Kacie Harvey of Braintree, Mass.

The Cloutier Hire Reax
Thomas Drance
September 27 2012 01:25PM
Petbugs on why Cloutier is a fine choice as the Canucks' newest goaltending consultant.
On Tuesday morning, the @News1130Sports Twitter feed dropped a little nugget of Canucks related information that set off a wave of cursing, recriminations and beach ball jokes among Canucks fans:
Cloutier has been hired by the Canucks but still waiting for official title.— News1130 Sports (@News1130Sports) September 25, 2012
Granted, Dan Cloutier was a below average goaltender in his career and for the Canucks, but he's far from the worst starting goaltender the team has ever employed. You wouldn't know that, however, from his reputation. From the epic Lidstrom flub, to that blown series and game 7 lead against the Minnesota Wild in the playoffs that one time; there are too many tough moments that overshadow Cloutier's string of 30 win seasons playing behind one of the most entertaining and offensively gifted clubs in team history. It's not fair, but that's life for a professional hockey goalie.
Read on past the jump for media reactions to the Cloutier hire.
For what it's worth, it seems that the Canucks anticipated the sort of negative reactions and ridicule Cloutier's hire would engender. That's very probably why it took the club nearly two months to announce that Cloutier had joined the organization as a "goaltending consultant":
Dan Cloutier actually signed his deal with #Canucks in late July. Team just got around to announcing it today after it was reported by media— Brad Ziemer (@BradZiemer) September 26, 2012
The reaction from Canucks fans on Twitter was savage, but the media and assorted members of the Smylosphere were generally more charitable.
Jason Botchford, who needs to read more George Bernard Shaw, pointed out that Cloutier's rocky experiences as a pro, could actually be a counter-intuitive source of strength in a scouting and coaching role:
Surprisingly, or not, Cloutier relishes every moment he played goal for Vancouver. OK, maybe not every moment. But that could be a reason why he has the tools to carve out a career as a goalie coach. The Canucks are banking on it. They hired Cloutier earlier this summer, at their prospects camp, and he's set to help develop their amateur goalies.
You can understand why. It's not just because he's affable, thoughtful or the fact he's only 36, and young enough to connect with 19-year-old prospects. It's because the guy has been through just about everything.
And if you're a young netminder wondering what life is like in the so-called goalie graveyard, there can't be too many resources as learned as Cloutier.
"If you look back, there's not too many things I didn't go through," Cloutier said. "I've been a backup, I've been a starter. I've been the starter who has been pulled. I've been celebrated on the back page. And I've been bad. I've been in tough markets, won the world juniors, and played where no one cared. I've been in the AHL, and suffered through injuries. I've been through it all."
Simon Wilson focussed on Cloutier's experiences dealing with the ungodly level of criticism in Vancouver, as a particular asset:
Perhaps most importantly, if Cloutier is going to be working primarily with the prospects in Chicago, it makes perfect sense that he shares his experience with them on playing in the fish bowl that is Vancouver. He'll be able to provide with valuable insight on how to get themselves mentally prepared to play and stay in Vancouver. While Vancouver has been termed the 'goalie graveyard', few goaltenders have been as heavily criticized and ridiculed like Cloutier which is something he'll be able to draw upon when working with the Wolves.
Daniel Wagner touted Cloutier's shallow track record as an OHL goaltending coach as suggestive evidence that - at the very least - Cloutier is a defensible candidate to work with the Canucks' amateur netminders:
As for Dan Cloutier the coach, he has some experience as an assistant coach under his brother in the Central Hockey League and acted as the goaltending coach for the Barrie Colts of the OHL last season. While it's tough to measure how effective Cloutier was as a coach in that time, the three goaltenders for the Colts in the season prior to Cloutier's arrival each had GAAs above 4.90 and save percentages below .880. While the Colts acquired two new goaltenders, all of their goalies, including one returning from the previous season, had much better statistics.
The team's starting goaltender, 19-year-old rookie Mathias Niederberger, posted a 2.68 GAA and .918 save percentage during the regular season and, here's the kicker, even better statistics during the playoffs.
Kevin Woodley - who has forgotten more about the goaltending position than I'll ever know - noted that the Cloutier hire may speak to a larger trend in the ways Goalies are being instructed at the NHL level:
Interesting Cloutier as goalie coach comes as NHL focus is shifting back to the need for battle + athleticism on top of good technical base— Kevin Woodley (@KevinisInGoal) September 25, 2012
Woodley also noted that the Canucks organization now has layers upon layers of redundancy in place, in terms of their goaltending coach assets:
#Canucks have 3 G Coaches: Melanson; Stan Dubicki (Wolves employee) in AHL; Cloutier in AHL, ECHL, Jr + scouting. Some teams barely have 1— Kevin Woodley (@KevinisInGoal) September 26, 2012
Besides the tens of thousands of Canucks fans on Twitter, the only person I could find who really ripped the hire was - and this is a huge surprise so don't all gasp at once: Tony Gallagher.
Gallagher appeared on the fourth hour of the Scotty and Friends show (with Jason Botchford and Scott Rintoul) at about 8:30 on Wednesday morning, and he ripped Cloutier pretty good (albeit mostly in jest). Ever the showman, Gallagher even started his evisceration in the same manner that Jerry Seinfeld might open a bit about Chicken McNuggets:
How do you like Dan Cloutier coming back - I'm just wondering what his best coaching attribute will be? Whacking guys in the side of the head with your blocker - that's gotta be a strength. Also - how to arrange to have a coach have the hots for you to make you millions of dollar throughout the course of your career - as Cloutier had with Marc Crawford, that will be another one of his classes. I'm not sure I'm in a forgiving mood. There's nothing to say he won't be a great coach - just having a little historical fun."
"I love the way they trot out [Cloutier's] record, like his regular season record. I mean that team scored about 8 goals a game and he still only had that record! They had the West Coast Express line which put up massive numbers, they had the Sedins as a second line and they still couldn't win any playoff games."
"I'll never forget having a little off the record chat with Brett Hull after that game where the puck drifted by Clouts from Lidstrom, and the Wings got their first win in that series. Brett Hull was sort of chortling away there saying "we're going to win this series easily, and that guy will never be a good goalie in this league," and he was right. That was just a little aside, I didn't report it or anything because it was strictly told off the record, but Brett Hull knew right away that Dan Cloutier didn't have the makeup mentally to be a great goalie in the NHL and that turned out to be a pretty good prediction."
Quick note: Gallagher's quotes here have been selectively edited for the sake of readability. In particular, I took out a bit listing Canucks goaltenders who were good people but not good goalies, and removed some banter between Botch and Tony in which they joke about setting up a cage fight between Cloutier and Gallagher (imagine the gate revenue...)
Finally, Rob the Hockey guy made an interesting point. As the curtains first rose on the Brian Burke era, Vancouverites had to some extent forgotten their love for the cities NHL club (mostly because the Messier era was just that depressing). Rob notes the irony that several players (like Cloutier) who were critical in reigniting the passion the city has for the Canucks, are now widely despised by the fan-base:
"Isn't it funny that the group largely responsible for the city of Vancouver falling in love with their Canucks once again is now viewed with so much disdain? Todd Bertuzzi, Matt Cooke and Dan Cloutier were all part of the core group of players in the early 2000s that gave the city an injection of life... Prior to their arrival, Vancouver was apathetic towards the Canucks. Those three players were major parts of the team in those days, and gave their all for the Canucks. Yet, Todd Bertuzzi and Matt Cooke are likely to get booed any time they return to Vancouver and any mention of Dan Cloutier gets ridiculed... [These players] were major parts of some pretty good teams (in the regular season anyway). We didn't boo them then, and we shouldn't now."
September 27 2012, 01:38PM
Rob's point is outstanding. Those of us who were at UBC a decade ago remember the student nights the Canucks would put on. Tickets for $20!! The team was battling levels of fan apathy/frustration/disinterest that hadn't been seen since before Pat Quinn showed up.
Cloutier was not amazing. He wasn't Roberto Luongo. Heck, he wasn't Captain Kirk. But he was what we had and god it was fun watching him get pissed off.
September 27 2012, 02:12PM
@Patrick Johnston
So true.
Despite the gaping holes in his game, Cloutier was the first solid starting goalie for the Canucks since Kirk Maclean. We went through such a horrid string of guys during that in between period. Felix Potvin for God's sake!

Gospel Reading
Document Actions
Renewal Wednesday
The Gospel according to John 1:35-52
At that time, John was standing with two of his disciples; and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God!" The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus. Jesus turned, and saw them following, and said to them, "What do you seek?" And they said to him, "Rabbi" (which means Teacher), "where are you staying?" He said to them, "Come and see." They came and saw where he was staying; and they stayed with him that day, for it was about the tenth hour. One of the two who heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. He first found his brother Simon, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah" (which means Christ). He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, "So you are Simon the son of John? You shall be called Cephas" (which means Peter).
The next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. And he found Philip and said to him, "Follow me." Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, "We have found him of whom Moses in the law and also the prophets wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph." Nathanael said to him, "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see." Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said of him, "Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!" Nathanael said to him, "How do you know me?" Jesus answered him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you." Nathanael answered him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!" Jesus answered him, "Because I said to you, I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe? You shall see greater things than these." And he said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man."

There's been a lot of focus lately on the changing business dynamic between the developed and developing economies—the West and the East. Clearly, the center of gravity is moving to the developing world, where the increased spending power of an emerging middle class is creating opportunities for growth. The implications of this changing global business landscape are profound, particularly as they affect strategic matters of most concern to multinational companies hoping to succeed in a brave new world.
For developed-world organizations, much can be learned by assessing the perspectives of their counterparts in the emerging world. As an APEC1 Knowledge Partner, PwC conducted a survey of more than 300 APEC region industry leaders representing 26 countries and all 21 APEC economies. Despite economic stresses, such as weaker than desired US growth and euro-area uncertainty, nearly all (96 percent) were somewhat or very confident about their 15 organizations' prospects for revenue growth over the next three to five years.
Such confidence is well founded. In the US, growth seems to be starting, but at lower than needed levels, while unemployment remains persistently high; and in Europe, growth is all but stalled. However, wages in APEC markets are continuing to rise, creating higher disposable incomes. This, along with growing regional trade links and the evolving promise of a networked economy, is creating substantial opportunities. But I think there's more to it. I believe this confidence is also rooted in their ability to take the long view with regard to tomorrow's opportunities and to cultivate resilience rather than aversion when confronting risk.
Let's consider a few examples. With regard to the long view, many of the APEC leaders understand that they are the beneficiaries of a major shift in economic power, and they are planning now to seize opportunities as they become available. For instance, 44 percent of APEC business leaders see the rise in spending power in Asia as the single biggest opportunity for growth. In preparing for that growth, nearly all (94 percent) are planning a change to their current approach to innovation, with 43 percent considering significant change. And while talent shortages and high turnover among top performers remain strong concerns, 43 percent of businesses in APEC plan to expand headcount by at least 5 percent a year over the next three to five years.
In addition, APEC leaders are equally focused on the growing significance of technology in a rebalancing global economy. In fact, more than 80 percent of business leaders in APEC countries plan change in their use of new technologies, like enterprise mobility and cloud computing, with one-third planning significant changes.
Despite their confidence and long-term perspective, APEC-market companies—like Western companies—are not free from risk.
They tell us they are coping with complex regulatory regimes, inconsistent and haphazard standards, corruption, talent shortages, and natural disasters. And they are certainly not immune to the effects of the global economic crisis, particularly the continued weaknesses evident in certain economies or the downstream impact of slowing economies, for example, in China. Unlike many Western companies, however, they have not stopped taking risks. They are, in fact, continuing to invest in the region.
While 44 percent are making their largest investment in China over the next three to five years, they are also investing in less predictable locations such as Indonesia and Vietnam. Only 10 percent expect to be making their largest investment in the US, perhaps for the very reasons that risk taking has declined in the West—uncertainties around, for example, fiscal and monetary policies, demand for goods and services, and regulations.
In drawing these comparisons concerning business foresight and risk taking, I want to stress that differing cultures, experiences, and priorities will always result in different approaches. But I think we can all learn something from an awareness of such differences.
The US and Europe have, understandably, been engaged in coping with the economic crisis and its aftermath—a necessary and ongoing task. The fiscal, monetary, and regulatory issues need to be addressed, but so too do the barriers that are impeding the long-term perspective required to create investment and risk-taking opportunities that ensure prosperity and growth. While the former is surely important, it is in the latter where the solutions necessary to maintaining future competitiveness reside.
That's my view. What's yours? We'd like to know. Send us your comments here.

The recession forced Valley communities to delay and re-evaluate parks plans. Some proceeded after changes; some were postponed.
As Phoenix-area city budgets remain tight, new park facilities on hold
Which publicly funded amenity do you use the most?
Here is a closer look at city projects that were affected.
Chandler | Gilbert | Glendale | Mesa | Peoria | Phoenix | Scottsdale | Surprise
The city has postponed park construction until economic conditions improve. Among the postponed parks:
Centennial Park, a 7.87-acre facility near Ocotillo and Cooper roads.
Mesquite Groves, a 100-acre regional facility near Val Vista Drive and Riggs Road.
McQueen/Queen Creek, a 70-acre site at the southeastern corner of McQueen and Queen Creek roads, originally called Nozomi Park, a name assigned instead to the former West Chandler Park.
Roadrunner Park, a 10-acre facility near Germann and Lindsay roads, expected to be completed in 2013.
Several major parks in Gilbert are on hold while the town works out a parks master plan and looks for money to develop hundreds of acres that sit vacant.
After overspending to acquire 143 acres of future parkland in southern neighborhoods, Gilbert doesn't have revenue to issue new bonds to pay for sports fields, playground equipment and picnic sites.
The town plans to build a 140-acre riparian preserve in south Gilbert to double as a water-recharge site. An 80-acre activity center near Greenfield and Chandler Heights roads likely would include ball fields, sport courts, a lake and ramadas.
An 83rd Avenue and Bethany Home Road regional-park site had several phases delayed, including a sports complex, urban lake, library and dog park. Other portions of the park have been completed.
Improvements to two segments of Glendale multi-use paths are in the planning stage. Those trails are the Grand Canal Pathway, along the Grand Canal from Loop 101 to New River, and the New River Pathway, from Bethany Home Road to Northern Avenue.
Voters will consider a $70 million bond issue in November, which would go toward building parks and renovating existing parks and recreation trails.
Some of the money would be used to comply with federal requirements to replace land occupied by Riverview Golf Course and an adjacent park, being converted to the new Chicago Cubs spring-training facility.
The city proceeded with parks plans despite the recession. Construction of the 80-acre Pioneer Park was delayed for one year to ensure money for maintenance. Construction began in June.
Scotland Yard Park, an 8.5-acre neighborhood venue, opened on Sept. 8.
Osuna and Palo Verde neighborhood parks were completed during the economic downturn.
Some parks projects promised before the recession are under construction or completed. Among them is Dust Devil Park, 13 acres at 107th Avenue and Camelback Road, due for completion this fall.
The city has 28 undeveloped park sites, mostly in Laveen and in the northeastern and northwestern sections of the city.
Reductions to the parks budgets forced postponement of new projects.
The city is reviewing possible parks projects if the City Council puts a bond issue on the ballot to raise funds.
Capital-improvement projects, including parks, were postponed indefinitely. They will not be reconsidered for least a year, possibly two.
Among the projects postponed: an aquatics center at Surprise Farms Community Park, a skate park, trails, multi-use fields and a library.

Project DescriptionArcAtlas: Our Earth is digital atlas comprised of small scale GIS
data sets and digital images containing information related to
both the physical and cultural environment. More than 40
different geographic themes are incorporated. A number of
prepared ArcView projects allow the user to view precompiled
views by theme and region. Data are in ARC/INFO, ArcView or image
formats. The map content and level of detail are similar to other
standard maps at scales of 1:10,000,000 for Europe; 1:20,000,000
for North and South America, Africa, and Antarctica; and
1:25,000,000 for Asia and Australia.
This data was prepared in a collaborative effort involving DATA+
(Russia), the Institute of Geography of the Russian Academy of
Sciences, M.V. Lomonosov Moscow State University, and ESRI. See
the documentation for more detailed information about this
data. ArcAtlas is available to NCSU affiliates in conjunction
with the campus license for ESRI software.

J'ai vraiment apprécié mon voyage en Croatie. Villa Gloria est une très belle maison. L'appartement était propre et nous avons obtenu un soutien en nature superbe de Marina et son mari. La vue depuis le Balcon est incroyable. Merci encore et nous espérons vous voir la prochaine fois!

Avis sur les autres logements de cet hôte
Summer 2015 was our first holiday together for me and my girlfriend in Croatia! Aside from the beautiful landscape and cities Arbanija/Trogir/Split, we both really enjoyed our staying in Villa Gloria! The lovely view at the balcony, Airco, BBQ and especially the service provided by the owners who speak German and English made our holidays a memorable experience! The owners and staff are very kind and they support you in everything you need. One day, one even helped out firing up our BBQ while he was actually watching Football(soccer). Also the supermarket and the beach are very close by. Based on all the service, facilities and very kind owners/staff, I would therefore strongly recommend this apartment!
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Località, villa ed appartamento molto belli; la spiaggia è a pochi metri. Unico neo: nel costruire quell'insieme di case sulla collina, hanno dimenticato... le strade! e quindi bisogna usare un viottolo stretto e ripidissimo, che solo su Google maps si può rintracciare.
Suggerisco di sistemare le lampadine mancanti e di rendere funzionante il televisore (di cui comunque non ho sentito la mancanza).

"I was looking for a nice pair of black heels and fell in love with these the moment I saw them on the web. The shoes were true to size; heels are a little taller and narrower than I am used to, but they seem manageable, at least on my apartment's wooden floors."

Fred William Klatt Jr.
Fred William Klatt, Jr., 92, died on Saturday, July 28, 2012, at his home in Cedar Hill, N.M., surrounded by his immediate family.
Fred was born in Montrose, Colo., March 3, 1920, the son of Fred W. Klatt, Sr., and Mary Lytle Klatt. The family moved to Durango in the 20s, and he and his brothers (Ron and Gene) grew up in Durango. Fred attended elementary school, junior high and graduated from Durango High School in 1938. He attended Ft. Lewis College near Hesperus for two years, where he met his future wife of 69 years, Margaret Rutledge. He played football, basketball and tennis, and worked in many areas to put himself through school, including hard rock mining.
Fred enrolled in the Army Air Corps in 1941, entering the Cadet Program. He graduated from that program, and while en route to his first posting as an officer in the Philippines, his transport ship departed from Honolulu on Dec. 5, 1941, two days before Pearl Harbor was attacked. After initial confusion, his ship convoyed with others and sailed to Australia. He spent the balance of his overseas duty in the South Pacific, primarily in New Guinea, where he flew A-24 dive bombers and A-20 Havoc twin engine attack aircraft. Fred flew 39 missions, was awarded several medals (including the Silver Star) and commendations before contracting malaria. The balance of his wartime experience was in various Southern U.S. Air Corp Bases, primarily in training and flight commander duties. Fred married Margaret June 21, 1943; son Fred III was born in 1944, and daughter Marianne in 1945. He left the service as a major in the reserves in 1947.
Returning to his hometown of Durango, Mr. Klatt became a partner in a flying service operating from Reservoir Hill (now College Heights), training over 75 pilots under the G.I. Bill. Selling his partnership, Fred was offered a job with Monarch Airlines, which later merged to form Frontier Airlines. He was with the airlines until 1963, when he resigned to open Klatt Travel, Inc. Fred retired in 1982, and he and Margaret enjoyed a happy retirement living over the years in Durango, Yuma, Ariz., Vallecito, Dolores, and finally in New Mexico for the past couple of years.
Mr. Klatt is preceded in death by his parents, Fred and Mary, his brothers, Ron and Gene, and his granddaughter, Kim Klatt Titus.
Fred is survived by his wife, Margaret, and son, Fred III, both of Cedar Hill; daughter, Marianne Windsor, of Bayfield; daughter-in-law, Jené Klatt (Freds wife), three grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren, and numerous nieces and nephews. He is fondly remembered by his family and his many friends and associates as a gregarious, friendly and generous man of remarkable talents and interests.
A military ceremony will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 11, 2012, at the Veterans Memorial site at Greenmount Cemetery, followed at 2 p.m. by a Remembrance Celebration at the Veteran of Foreign Wars (VFW) Lodge.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to ALSAC St. Jude Childrens Research Hospital, 5575 DTC Parkway, Suite 145, Greenwood Village, CO 80111; or to the Disabled American Veterans, P.O. Box 3434, Durango, CO 81302.

Class Gains Professional Experience While Doing Good
Professor Gemma Puglisi's PR Portfolio class is more than just a course, it's an opportunity for students to spend the semester gaining real world experience by working with actual clients. Just as important as the professional experience and portfolio development was the opportunity for them to be a part of and create a lasting legacy for organizations and individuals who are making incredible contributions to the local community.
Food for Others is a nonprofit food bank working to help the hungry in Northern Virginia. In 2011 the group distributed 2.7 million pounds of free food.
Girls, Inc. of the Washington DC Metropolitan Area is part of a nationwide non-profit youth organization that inspires all girls to be strong, smart and bold. It provides National Identity Programs addressing topics like leadership and careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. On November 27, 2012, Girls Inc. WDCMA held their first annual fundraiser featuring Rain Pryor, daughter of the late comedian Richard Pryor, and her off-Broadway solo show "Fried Chicken and Latkes."
Brian Bullock, owner of Bundy Films, specializes in telling unique and interesting stories that blend cultural and ethnic lines. His current project, a documentary film entitled The Richmond 34, scheduled to come out in February 2014, focuses on a forgotten 1960 civil rights sit-in by 34 Virginia Union University students at Thalhimer's department store. The event was instrumental in the desegregation of Richmond, Virginia.
Generation Wags is dedicated to providing articles and resources to educate the public about the issues contributing to the dire situation of rescue companion animals, and to empowering individuals to engage in creating solutions.
Throughout the semester the teams worked with their organizations to develop marketing materials, plan events, create press kits, obtain media coverage and more. On December 4, the students presented all their hard work to the clients and other SOC community members in a final presentation on American University's main campus.
Those working for Food for Others spent 24 hours at a local Safeway store where they collected 1,704 cans. They also created a food drive kit to allow others to hold their own food drives.
The Girls, Inc. WDCMA students were able to get interviews for Rain Pryor with Tom Joyner's Black American Web, JC Heyward at WUSA Channel 9, and Kojo Nnamdi on WAMU 88.5. The fundraiser itself sold out and raised over $40,000.
Students working with Mr. Bullock on The Richmond 34 were able to get him an interview with RVA News about the film. Thanks to that article, the family of the owner of Thalhimer's department store, who had previously declined to be a part of the film, had a change of heart.
The Generation Wags team spent the Saturday before Hurricane Sandy at the Howl-O-Ween Fun Walk/Run and Rescue Fair in Gaithersburg, Maryland, where they got people to sign the Generation Wags Pledge of Awareness. In the end the students were able to get their clients 13,036,351 media impressions.
After the final presentation, the clients had nothing but praise for the students they worked with. All of them remarked on the high level of dedication, creativity, and professionalism displayed by the students that they worked with. One client said, "Not one time during this semester did I feel like this was a class, I thought you [the students] were professionals." While another remarked, "Our greatest concern was that we were not known in the community. Now we have such a buzz...that means more than any money."

|In response to Re: Bathroom Fan Vent Hoods
: I just finishing up a log home and am loooking for advice on the bathroom fan vent hoods. Since this is a log home, I'd rather not penetrate the log walls to run the fan vents and plan to run the 4" duct in the ceiling and drop down through the soffits. What kind of vent hood will work in a vertical position. The ones I have found so far are designed for a horizontal installation. Thanks!

Some compelling reasons for owning an iPad is speed and convenience: instant-on and the ease-of-use and snappiness of Apple's iOS creating a very positive user experience when accessing email and surfing the net. My experience owning an iPad is actually quite what I would expect it to be – I grab my iPad when I need information quickly or want to check email or compose a quick message, and if I have heavier lifting, I crack open the laptop and wait for 20-30 seconds for my Mac to boot up.
The obligatory wait time while our traditional computers boot up may change soon, and by "soon" I mean as early as beginning next year. BIOS technology has been in use since 1979 to boot up our personal computers, but BIOS is antiquated and does not meet the demands of today's faster, more powerful computers and demanding operating systems. Instead, UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) is about to hit the scene, and when it does, your personal computer will boot up in a matter of just a few seconds. It won't be instant-on like the iPad, but it will be very close.
When UEFI goes mainstream and boot-up times for computers takes just a few seconds — let's speculate that your Mac or PC will boot up and be ready to go in 3 to 5 seconds — how might this impact your iPad use, if at all?

On the Road to the School Nutrition Association Conference
Next week, I, along with dozens of staff from the U.S. Department of Agriculture will have the pleasure of joining thousands of school nutrition professionals, members of the public health community, and food industry representatives in Boston at the 68th Annual National Conference of the School Nutrition Association (SNA). This annual event provides an opportunity for stakeholders in the school nutrition community to network, gain ideas, and learn from one another.
As a past president of SNA myself, I look forward to this meeting each year. Being surrounded by dedicated nutrition professionals who all want to make sure we are providing the best possible support to our nation's children, and hearing about all the creative approaches schools are using to successfully serve healthy school meals is quite a treat. I am excited to be able to meet with members of the community one-on-one, and hear firsthand about their successes, as well as their challenges. I also look forward to speaking to the larger audience during the second general session on Tuesday. My USDA colleagues will be on-hand throughout the conference to gather more feedback and provide additional information, technical assistance and other support to school nutrition professionals.

"Bought 5.5 and these fit perfectly (usually size 6).These are probably the highest pair of shoes/wedges I have. These give me height that I need and are very comfortable. Cushioned insole. I love the perforated detail. The cork had areas where it bubbled (not very noticeable, only seen with close inspection). Would like the heel to fall straight instead of in so the sole would be bigger/stable.Returning and purchasing through another retailer online for a lower cheaper price."

Plaid Seersucker Cotton Bedspread
100% Cotton Bedspread in Cool Seersucker, Just in Time for Warm Weather
Plaid Seersucker Cotton Bedspread
100% Cotton Bedspread in Cool Seersucker, Just in Time for Warm Weather
$59.95 - $119.95
Along with throwing open the windows to welcome warm weather, throw on our plaid seersucker cotton bedspread to keep things looking—and feeling—light and airy. Seersucker is known for staying crisp, cool, and comfortable even when balmy breezes give way to hot and humid conditions. Machine wash and dry; doesn't require ironing after laundering. Imported.
- Seersucker allows air to circulate so you stay cool
- Cotton bedspreads in refreshing plaids
- Square corners help our cotton bedspread drape nicely on the bed
Plaid Seersucker Cotton Bedspread is rated out of 5 by 15.
Rated 5 out of 5 by not quite lost from Just right bedspread for summer in So. CA. :-) This spread is perfect for me as it is light weight and cool. It gets very hot here in the summer and this is just what I wanted. I have a full size bed and it is getting harder to find "full" size. Too much "full/queen" which is queen and too big. I really like the blue color also.

Rated 5 out of 5 by JIB from It's a Summertime Winner It's the old story of she's always cold he's always hot. I bought this cotton bedspread for my husband for part of his Father's Day Gift, he says it's exactly what he wanted. I washed before putting on the bed, came out great, looks so nice on his queen size bed. Fantastic quality once again!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Born Vermonter from Nice and Light My husband cannot stand heavy comforters or bed coverings. This bedspread is nice and light, so no complaint from him! The yellow is very pretty, almost like sunshine.

Rated 4 out of 5 by catsnorchids from You Should Know ... there is nothing at all wrong with this bedspread - EXCEPT that what appeared on my computer screen as a turquoise-ish or blue-green-ish color is actually GREEN. Still, looking at it now, I would be convinced that it is exactly the right color. But it's not turquoise. It is PALE GREEN. Otherwise it would have been just right for my needs - a light-weight bedspread for a warm climate. Unfortunately I had to return it. And FORTUNATELY, the Vermont Country Store handles returns very professionally and fairly.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Snooze from Sleep like a baby! Been tired of taking my old bedspread on and off depending on the night temperature in the spring/summer. This is perfect. Light weight, comfortable and nice size for those blanket hogs. Looks good on the bed too! I bought the blue plaid.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Tripacer Gran from Great Bedspread My husband hates heavy bedding even in the winter and this is the only place where I have found a light weight bedspread. Not only that, I have had this bedspread for years - maybe 20. It has faded a little but it gets washed about once a month. I just ordered another one to make sure I will always have one. I've had it for several months now but I'm saving it in case something happens to the one I have. My first one was a queen size for my queen bed. It did shrink a little but it still covered the bed; it just didn't go all the way to the floor. This time I ordered a king and I'm going to wash it several times and then hem it. In the winter I use it with a light weight electric blanket.
