Annual Session of UNDP Executive Board - Agenda Item 2: Annual Report of the Administrator
Statement by the Netherlands Annual Session of UNDP Executive Board (Geneva) Agenda Item 2: Annual Report of the Administrator
Mr President,
Thank you and thank you Ms. Clark for your opening statement.
The Netherlands would like to comment in a national capacity on three subjects: annual report, UNDP's structural change process and the post 2015 development agenda.
1. Annual report
The Netherlands welcomes the progress achieved in three substantive areas of work. We particularly appreciate the systematic attention for gender in the report and progress achieved in inclusive and effective democratic governance as well as resilience building and the work done in fragile states. For the Netherlands these are areas where we see clear added value of UNDP.
We are also pleased to see a high level, 99.5%, of alignment of UNDP's programmes and projects to the focus areas of the strategic plan.
Effective cooperation requires adjustment of approaches to specific circumstances. The report mentions good examples of UNDP's diversified approach towards justice, security and rule of law, which we appreciate.
Public access to information of the UN agencies is important for transparency, accountability andvisibility and fosters public support. We therefore comment UNDP with its efforts to adhere to IATI and with its increased ranking among multilateral organisations in the "Publish what you fund" Aid Transparency Index.
The Netherlands believes that strengthened harmonisation and cooperation is a basic precondition for the UN to deliver effective and relevant responses in the future. In this context we appreciate the progress in the area of coordination of the United Nations development system as well as inQCPR implementation, as reflected in the report.
We appreciate UNDP's continued efforts to improve progress reporting and to connect the results of the previous Strategic Plan to the new one. In particular, this year's presentation of an overview of progress against national outcome indicators in country programme documents is an interesting way of presenting UNDP's results on the ground and might also be used for communicating results to a broader public.
On the other hand, as this a unique way of presenting progress on a selected number of sectors,it does not allow easy comparison with other years.We hope that the utilisation of the new Integrated Results and Resources Framework (IRRF) willfacilitate consistent assessment of progress between years and of results against resources used.
We will provide some further comments on the IRRF through a joint statement later today.
2. Structural change
UNDP is engaged in a major organisational change process and we appreciate the information provided on the process. We hope the reform will achievegreater operational efficiencies, more effective support to country offices and wish that through this reform also a larger share of funds will become available for programme activities.
We look forward to continued information sharing on its implementation and trust that the reform process willbe carried out in a transparant manner, whileadhering to UNDP's rules and legal framework.
3. Post 2015 development agenda
The world will soon be setting its post-2015 development agenda and UNDP as well as the UN Development System as a whole should prepare to be fit for purpose.
Global challenges can only be tackled if all partners work together, on the basis of their strengths, knowledge, experience and legitimacy.
In our view it is important that the UN develops multi stakeholder partnerships including governments, the private sector, civil society andacademia. The annual report mentions some interesting and innovative partnerships that illustrate the potential and results of engagement with different stakeholders.
These examples show that UNDP is well-placed to forge synergies between different partners and we encourage UNDP to build maximally on this comparative advantage.
To conclude, the Netherlands values UNDP as an important development partner and looks forward to a constructive cooperation in the coming years.
Thank you.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
The Ferron City building was recently tested to see what is creating gas type smells in the office. Office personnel have complained of the odors and the affects the odors are having on their health and well being. Oftentimes when the office is opened in the mornings, the windows are opened to air the building out before they can go to work.
Eileen Brennan along with Ed Hickey from the Department of Water Quality reported to the city council on the test results. The test results showed areas where the allowable percentages of chemicals were exceeded including benzine levels. The analysis covers 80-90 compounds. Soil data was collected around the perimeter of the building. Lead was not an issue in the test results.
It is not known how the vapors from the soils are getting into the building. They have looked at cracks, pipes, sewer lines and there is only one line that leaves the building and it didn't register anything on the hand held meter when it was tested. There are no indications of where the odor is coming into the building.
It was suggested more tests/readings be taken on a day when the smell was really prevalent. Ideas were discussed to mitigate the odor. One idea was modifications to the air conditioning/heating system in the building. An idea was to draw less air from the crawl space and more from outside. That is a potential remedy said Brennan, but they don't know if it will work. A second option could be an active venting system around the building. Another idea is to line the floor of the crawl space and seal the walls and floor. That's a possibility, but it's not known for sure if the smells are coming from the crawl space. A hole could also be created in the crawl space to vent outside.
Mayor JoAnn Behling said Questar had been in the building and they closed off the vents to the crawl space. You can't cut off the return air to the furnace. Mayor Behling asked Brennan if the levels are dangerous, Brennan said the levels aren't outrageous.
Councilman Garrett Hansen said he believes there has been an odor in the city building since it was built. It was constructed on property where an old shop previously was located.
The test draws an air sample for eight continuous hours. The test is a standard EPA test.
Brennan said it's not their job to see who caused the problem, but just to fix it.
There have been rumors that the store has caused all the problems and Mayor Behling said that's unfair and Ferron needs a store and everything possible must be done to keep the store open. It was a falsehood that Ferron City would sue Main Street Market and the mayor would like all rumors to stop.
The costs involved to seal the building was estimated to be between $10,000-$15,000.
The most important factor is the health of the workers at city hall. Something must be done to ensure their safety at work. They have complained of headaches and other symptoms due to the odors in the building.
It was mentioned that a cure for the problem should be started on before the source of the problem is located. Testing should be done on a bad odor day for the most accurate readings. There is a limited amount of money to fix the problem. Someone suggested the building be shut up for a week and then tested. The mayor said they will look at the options and decide what to do, but for now they will call for testing on a bad day.
Brennan said they collected no evidence which said the building needs to be evacuated and current use can continue.
It was mentioned that everyone has a different degree of sensitivity to odors and their effects. Maybe the workers should move out of the building until the situation is rectified.
Councilmember Ronnie Bloomer said not to wait for a bad day, but to schedule days to get more testing done, he also suggested training one of the city workers so they could gather the samples.
In other Ferron business the new water meters were discussed, the preference for Ferron may be changed because they want all the meters to be uniform throughout the county.
Councilman Joe Trenery said the final inspection has been completed on the roads. He also noted the school didn't shovel their sidewalks during the recent snowstorm. Everyone is responsible to shovel their sidewalks.
The scarecrow contest was a success and prizes were awarded.
Bloomer said they need to get bids for the concrete at the fairgrounds.
Nielson Construction needs water from the city and they will trade work on the ballfield at the fairgrounds in exchange for the water.
Lane Justice said the veterinarian rack needs to be replaced at the fairgrounds.
The mayor and councilmembers considered the medium and short term list for CIB projects. The mayor suggested moving the cemetery expansion up on the priority list as they are running out of room there. The mayor said they don't want to incur any notes because Ferron has all the notes they can handle. Grants will be sought for any projects the city wants to do.
It was mentioned that ADA improvements at the golf course restaurant be moved up on the list. Small pavilions at the mayor's park were also listed. The council prepared the surplus property list for advertisement and bids will be opened at a future meeting.
The council also wants to have Rocky Mountain Power install power on more of the poles so they can be used for Christmas lights throughout the city.

(O'FALLON, Mo.) After falling a game short of a Class 2 State Basketball Championship, West Platte's boys of spring had a chance for redemption Thursday.
The Blue Jays carried a one-run lead into the seventh inning, but a bang-bang play at first went Hartville's way as they defeated the Blue Jays 4-3 in the Class 2 State Baseball Championship.
West Platte (22-2) sent freshman McKauley Stephenson to the mound for the biggest start of his young career after Logan Moose carried the team to a 5-1 semifinals win. Stephenson took the loss after allowing three runs while striking out six.
The Eagles jumped on top with a pair of runs in the first inning thanks to some shoddy defense by the Blue Jays. They carried that 2-0 lead in to the second frame, where the players endured a rain delay that lasted over an hour.
Freshman Lucas Horseman came on with the bases loaded in the fifth, down 2-1, and knocked a two-run double down the left-field line to put West Platte on top 3-2.
Still leading by one in the seventh, Moose came on to close out the title. The senior quickly gave up the tying run before Kevin Prock stepped to the plate with two outs. The Eagles' senior slapped a chopper to third and beat the throw to first to allow the game-winning run to cross.
The Blue Jays' 22 wins are a single-season program record.

Definitely helps with hunger!
I opted to take hc3 Trim Active Complex by NuMedica at my nutritionist's suggestion instead of HcG injections. I have used HcG sublingual liquid in the past and it worked well for me. The Hc3 helps with hunger, and has a decent flavor. It's a bit pricey, but I supposed in comparison to gastric bypass or other weight loss options, this is worth it. This is my second bottle, so obviously it's working for me, with a 21 pound weight loss in about 8 weeks, along with a vlc diet.
Helps with hunger.
The price.

Works great!
I have also opted for hc3 Trim Active Complex by NuMedica instead of the HCG injections and have had great success. I have lost 18 lbs in 24 days and I am not experiencing hunger or energy loss. I definitely would order again. Pricing is great. My nutritionist charged about 3 times as much for it (but included some B12 - which I don't feel I need).
I really like the taste.
Nothing - its great!

Dear Editor,
and whoever will listen.
Not a Complaint:
In these uneasy times when a lot of people want to blame everything and everyone, I want to congratulate the Salt Lake City Veterans Hospital.
I am a disabled Marine veteran, so is one of my sons. I also have a son in the Air Force now who came back from Iraq a few months ago and is now in Rhoda, Spain. I was discharged in December 1968 since that time I have been in and out of the V.A. Hospital, too many times to want to remember. The S.L.C. V.A.
No matter the administration in office in Washington or the continuing budget cuts and restrictions, they have always taken the utmost care of their patients. They maintain the highest standards and have some of the best doctors in the country.
If not for them I would have been deceased several years ago as would have countless other veterans. I am as proud as a rutting buck to think I may have been a part of keeping this the best country in the world. I believe all who have served has that same feeling in their hearts.
We all owe a dept of gratitude for the care and concern that our V.A.s have given to each and everyone of us that needed their help. In this the greatest country this world has ever known, the U.S.A. God Bless Them.
May God Bless our soldiers that are in harms way now and in the future, may he hold them in his blessed hands.

After graduating from residency, doctors have the option to go on for advanced specialty training, but in some specialties, they can go right to work. This group includes primary care physicians such as pediatricians, internists and family practitioners, as well as general surgeons, anesthesiologists and obstetrician / gynecologists. Starting salaries vary for these specialties.
With a base pay offer of $189,000 a year, on average, family practitioners and pediatricians are offered the lowest pay of all physicians, according to the medical search and consulting firm Merritt Hawkins & Associates' 2012 Review of Physician Recruiting Incentives. An orthopedic surgeon, in comparison, earns $519,000. Doctors who go on to specialize make a considerable amount more. Cardiologists are high on the list, being guaranteed an average base salary of $512,000, according to the Merritt Hawkins data. The third highest-paying specialty is in Urology, with these physicians earning an average of $461,000, not including production bonuses or benefits.

2 Years From The Time I Purchased ItI bought this dryer in August of 2013, and last week it stopped working. It has been a great dryer, but to die exactly 2 years from the time of purchase is kind of fishy for me. Am hair stylist and am looking for something that I can use at list for more than two years. I can't just be spending $200 every year? That's to expensive.Sep 7, 2015Sedu Revolution 6000i Hair DryerHAIR TYPENormal Hair / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair / Relaxed Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

Average For A Pricey DryerThis hair dryer was great for a while, especially for smoothing my curly hair. It's light weight, and it straightened my hair nicely and pretty quickly. BUT one day it just blew up on me -- it suddenly made a loud, awful noise that drove my cat into the dark corners of my house in sheer terror, and it began to smell like burning. Sadly, this happened exactly one week after the two year warranty expired. So, I'm concluding that the quality is not great, lacks longevity because it died after only two years of having it - and I didn't even use it every day. Previous to this, I have had long-term relationships with my blow dryers--typically lasting five or more years! So if you get this on sale, may be worth it. Otherwise, I'd look elsewhere.Dec 6, 2014Sedu Revolution 6000i Hair DryerHAIR TYPEBlonde / Normal Hair / Curly Hair

Hot & Fast....don't Let The Wattage Fool You!I just read a lukewarm review of this hair dryer on the Good Housekeeping website. They say their findings were that it makes hair less shiny. They also say it isn't very hot? I absolutely disagree!
This dryer is fairly powerful. The only good reason I can think of for the less shine experienced in the GH tests is the power. This thing blows pretty hard (though it doesn't feel like it....odd). I have had to move items from where I normally keep them because this dryer kept blowing them off. Picking up my hair clips and glasses that had blown off the ledge was getting annoying. I stood across the bathroom the other day to test the airflow on this dryer and it still managed to move stuff.
If you aren't using the right tools with this dryer, I can see how you may get sub-optimal results. I use Spornette or Chaz Dean porcupine boar bristle round brushes. They are similar. I do tend to like the Chaz Dean brushes a bit better, but they also cost more. They maintain a good grip on my hair so it doesn't blow around. The concentrator nozzle keeps the air from making the rest of my hair blow all over the place. My hair is perfectly shiny and I do not feel like it is less shiny now.
The part about the heat....How much more did you need? My scalp has been burned by steam, and I let my hair air dry for about 20 minutes and remove as much excess moisture as I can before I even turn it on, so it's not like it has a ton of water to cause tons of steam. Just to put this into perspective, I ONLY use a wooden hairbrush, not the metal kind that causes the hair to heat up more and steam while drying. I keep a concentrator nozzle on this dryer AND keep it a bit of a distance away from my hair.
I would say that despite the lower wattage of 1600W does not seem to have an adverse effect on the heat generated by this dryer. Maybe I am biased due to my loyalty to the Sedu brand, and I admit that I have only ever used one other dryer with any kind of power, the One 'n Only Brazilian Tech Keratin Dryer (BTW, also HOT and powerful. Folica totally sells the same thing with a slightly different name). Still though, I feel like Good Housekeeping made a lousy call on this one. I can't imagine that anybody who isn't a professional or doesn't have exceptionally difficult hair needs more heat than this.

Sending Back To Fix For A 2nd Time For Issues With MotorI had a T3 hairdryer for ten years before it burnt out. I have to send this Sedu in for a second time within the two year warranty to be fixed for a part that keeps coming loose in the motor. I will not buy another Sedu. I expect a hairdyer to last longer than a year at this price.Sep 27, 2014Sedu Revolution 6000i Hair DryerHAIR TYPEFine or Thin Hair

Poor Quality And So-so ResultsClaims that this product has the "latest in motor technology" producing "unrivaled power, air flow and heat" are nothing more than creative advertising. Performance and dry time are average, similar to a Blackbird. After a few months, the motor had a strange whistle when first turned on. I dropped it once and the plastic covering the filter broke.

Finally Found A Winner!!!After purchasing many other hairdryers that were even more expensive, I found the one. Tames my dry, frizzy, curly, very long hair. No need to use a flat iron anymore. Drying time cut by 1/3. Didn't expect any more than that given the length of my hair. Very happy with this purchase, and my new shiny, bouncy doo!Aug 17, 2014Sedu Revolution 6000i Hair DryerHAIR TYPELight Brown / Dry Hair / Curly Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

Good But No Wao!I tried this Dryr is very gentle to the hair and it leave the hair very smooth however it does take the frizz away if you have thick hair it doesnt dry it very well , leave the hair still curly on the roots. If your hair is thin and you looking for a nice dryer that do the job this one will work but if you have resistant hair better take the 4000 i model, is the best.

Seeing Is Believing. (this Is A Life Changer)After just using this blow dryer for the first time, I rushed to write this review. I can't even express how impressed I am. I've worked in the beauty biz for years and have tried everything under the sun. My 6 yr old hair dryer was dying out so did some research and gave the Sedu 6000i a try. I used all my same hair products, so the only change was using this dryer and my hair came out BEYOND AMAZING. I have naturally wavy/frizzy hair, and always felt like I needed to flat iron my ends to get them nice and smooth.
However, after using the Sedu 6000i tonight, my hair looks just as smooth and shiny as if I just flat ironed it (i use a ghd flat iron), which I have never been able to achieve, even after a salon blow-out. BONUS: it dried really fast!
In short, give this dryer a shot!!!
The only con I've noticed is it's a tad heavier than my previous dryer, but I honestly don't mind (i mean, I need to tone up my arms anyways).
If you're going to purchase this, get the combo pack that comes with the Wet Brush and some other Sedu products...only $90!!!Dec 11, 2013Sedu Revolution 6000i Hair DryerHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair

Nothing Special Performance Wise And Shoddy CraftsmanshipI bought this less than two years ago to replace my T3 featherweight when it (inevitably) died. I was never all that impressed with the performance of the Sedu, the T3 actually made my hair look much smoother (and much faster) and now I've come to accept that it is just a poor quality piece of merchandise overall. The back cover broke off months ago (and the dryer has a permanent home on a coutertop, it doesn't even get put into a drawer or anything else that could be considered "harsh" treatment). The first time that happened my hair was sucked in and tangled around the motor, it wound straight up to the scalp and I had to CUT the hairdryer out. I was not happy. I was able to put the guard back on after that, but it continues to fall off repeatedly. Now the concentrator has also broken. I have had a $50 experience with a $200 product and now I'm already on the hunt for a replacement.Nov 27, 2013Sedu Revolution 6000i Hair Dryer

CYCLONE FOOTBALL PREVIEW: Big shoes to fill? Big deal.
Time heals.
Last November, just three hours after losing a heartbreaker in the state 4A semi-finals, many of the Pueblo West Cyclone football players got off the team bus and went straight to the gym.
For offensive lineman Drew Jones, it was a therapeutic workout.
"We were shocked, mad ... disappointed. We wanted to stick together and work out our frustrations. And we knew there was still a lot of work to do. For us, the new 2013 season started that day."
For quarterback Zac Drury, it was also a way to honor his teammates who had just played their last high school football game.
"We had an outstanding group of seniors that provided strong leadership," Drury said. "They really set the example and showed us what it takes to get to the top."
That outstanding group of seniors included four all-state players: running back Derek Jackson, offensive lineman Diego Rojas, linebacker Jacob Torres and linebacker/wide receiver, Peter Ward. Running behind Rojas and a very talented, hard-nosed offensive line, Jackson re-wrote the record books — scoring 29 TDs and piling up 3,343 total yards (9.8 yds. per carry). Torres and Ward also lead a defensive unit that was statistically among the state's best. The 2012 Cyclones captured the Foothills Conference Championship in their first season in the league, and matched the record of the 2007 state championship team with 12 wins.
With these very big shoes to fill, it comes as no surprise that the football pundits are unsure what to make of this year's team. In most preseason polls the Cyclones are simply listed among the "others to watch".
That suits Drury just fine.
"We will use that as motivation. It is always hard to lose a player the caliber of a Derek Jackson. But D-Jack was always the first to say that he could not have been successful without every one of his teammates. There were plenty of 'others to watch' on our team last year ... and there will be many more that will step up this season. We believe in our coaches, and in our system."
Head coach Monte Pinkerton has developed and refined his system over the past nine seasons.
When asked about the keys to his success, "Coach Pink," as he is affectionately known, points to good old-fashioned hard work.
"Last season our guys learned what's possible with a lot of hard work," he said. "We were right on the doorstep. Again this season we have great players that are willing to do the things necessary to put themselves in a position to be successful. The support we get from the families and our community is tremendous, and allows us to continue to grow as a program."
With 5 a.m. practices, year-round strength and conditioning, summer contact camps, sweating through "hills and boxes," and 7 on 7 competitions, all become part of the Cyclone tradition.
Exceptional offensive line play is the hallmark of Coach Pinkerton's system.
This season the Cyclones offensive line returns four starters, including big No. 54, Keith Hed.
At 6-foot 7-inches, 265 pounds, Hed is a dominating presence in the middle.
Currently ranked among the state's top linemen, Hed is a legitimate Division I prospect.
Fellow starters Cody Ortiz, Bret Ryder and Malik Jones round out the formidable front line that will continue to open holes for the "next men up" in the Cyclone's backfield. Waiting in the wings is another impressive group of explosive and powerful ball carriers, including Kamron Clough, Kaden Wills, Ryan Olson, Travis Myers and Shane Larson.
It is no secret that the Cyclones will continue to run the ball — again and again.
However, this season the opposing defenses may not always know who will run the ball.
Drury is an experienced and intelligent
playmaker that runs the zone-read offense as well as any quarterback.
His passing skills are still somewhat unknown since he averaged just five attempts per game last season.
But Drury has shown that he can complete the clutch passes to sustain key drives, and his receiving core is more than ready to carry some of the load. The receiver slots are hotly contested this pre-season, with Dean Thompson, Tristen Ross, Levi Nineman, Jacob Enriquez and several others looking strong.
Defensively the Cyclones return seven starters from a team that shut down some of the state's best offenses, including the eventual state champions. The talented and very physical group of defensive backs include seniors Brock Wahlert, Brad Padilla and Josh Casias. The line backing core features senior Justin Krakow, along with junior Brandon Summer.
The men in the trenches are Aaron Avila, Eric Mears, Trevor Encinias, Austin Stoltz, Brenton Martin, Zack Napier and Kelston Coats. Look for the Cyclones to continue to play a very physical style of defense that can deliver the big turnover.
As the season opener draws near this new team is building its identity on a foundation of confidence. Their resolve is palpable. The football experts seem to have nailed it. The Pueblo West Cyclones are indeed a team to watch in 2013.

Jackson Pollock's Blue Poles
4 October 2002 - 27 January 2003
- The 50th anniversary
of the creation of Blue Poles and 20th anniversary of the opening
of the National Gallery of Australia
- The first time Jackson Pollock's Blue Poles has been shown in an exhibition in Australia in the context of a broad range of other works by the artist.
- Revisits the genius and fragility of Jackson Pollock the man and artist whose work reached, retains and strengthens in iconic status in 20th-century art history.
Claimed by many critics as the 'most influential American painter of the 20th century', Jackson Pollock first became a household name in Australia in 1973 when the Australian National Gallery took possession of his painting Blue Poles, Number II, 1952. The controversy that surrounded the purchase prompted a national tour of the painting to introduce it to the Australian public. Since that time Blue Poles has been permanently on view at the National Gallery of Australia, excluding a short sojourn to the major retrospective exhibition Jackson Pollock at the Museum of Modern Art, New York in 1998.
On his death in 1956, Jackson Pollock left a legacy of hundreds of works of art: paintings, sculptures, drawings and prints. For the first time in Australia, a painting created at the zenith of his career, Blue Poles, will be located in the context of the artist's opus. Jackson Pollock's Blue Poles includes more than 50 works from international collections and the collection of the National Gallery of Australia.
With a substantial proportion of works on paper from between 1937 and 1952, the exhibition offers an intimate yet broad view of Pollock's art leading up to the creation of Blue Poles. It also traces some of the most poignant moments in the career of this complex artist: efforts to master draftsmanship; parallels with the work of artists such as Picasso, Mexican muralist, David Alfaro Siqueiros and José Clemente Orozco, and native American art; influence of environment upon the development of style, and of mentors Thomas Hart Benton and John Graham; struggle with emotional difficulties and the challenge of alcohol dependency.
Jackson Pollock was born in Wyoming, USA in 1912 into a farming family of five brothers, most of whom worked as artists at some time in their lives. He moved to New York in 1930 and attended the Art Students League where he studied clay modelling, life drawing, painting, and composition, and later took a class in stone carving. Through a government program to aid artists during the Depression years, Pollock was able to continue practising his art. By 1942, his work was shown beside modern masters such as Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Georges Braque, and André Derain. He exhibited with the prestigious Peggy Guggenheim Gallery in New York where he had his first solo show the following year. Art critic, Clement Greenberg proclaimed Pollock to be the leading painter of his peer group of artists, which included Willem de Kooning, Robert Motherwell, Mark Rothko and Barnett Newman.
During this rise to international prominence, Pollock married long-time partner Lee Krasner in 1945, and moved from the crush of New York City to a small acreage at East Hampton, Long Island. Despite an ongoing battle with poverty and continuous bouts of ill health and personal tragedy, he figured largely in a campaign to legitimise and promote public reception of abstract art.
To complement the assemblage of Pollock artworks and reveal a little of the genius and fragility of Jackson Pollock the man and artist, Jackson Pollock's Blue Poles features a number of photographic stills of the artist, his studio and environment, and a film by Hans Namuth that centres on Pollock while painting.
Jackson Pollock's Blue Poles is presented in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the creation of Blue Poles, and of the 20th anniversary of the opening of the National Gallery of Australia.

The EP, entitled Young Mountain, was critically well received, and the band inked a deal with Magic Bullet Records. This Will Destroy You were back in the studio in 2007, and over the next four years the band released four albums: 2008's This Will Destroy You, 2009's Field Studies, 2010's Moving on the Edges of Things, and 2011's Tunnel Blanket. ~ Chris True, Rovi

Yesterday morning, shortly after we arrived, Benito and Batek (two blackback gorillas) had a fight that left wounds requiring surgery on both individuals. Batek was left with a large, deep wound on his arm, which required stitching of muscles and skin:
Benito, the larger male, had a smaller wound on his backside that also required stitching:
Both individuals were treated immediately by our veterinary team. As both Benito and Batek each weigh between 150 and 200kg, surgery was performed in the gorilla satellites.
Ainare Idoiaga, Pandrillus Project Manager and Head Veterinarian, stitches Batek's wound.
Members of the LWC vet team stitch Benito's wound in the satellite enclosure.
After surgery, Benito's weight was taken. He weighs nearly 200kg!
Both surgeries were successful, and Benito and Batek are healing well.
In the wild, male gorillas typically leave the group between 6 and 10 years of age, at which point they may join a group of other males, or find a new group with females. In Chella's group, there are 3 males: Chella, the silverback, Benito, age 16, and Batek, age 13. LWC cares for 16 gorillas, and the lack of avilable space is becoming a more pressing issue as the males age. We only have space for one large gorilla enclosure and one small gorilla enclosure, and will need to make a bachelor group, which contains only males, in the near future to prevent fights for dominance.

Hotel Capacity:Total Number of Rooms - 256
Conrad London St James
Inspired by its prestigious Westminster location, this luxury London hotel relishes attention to detail and prides itself on providing thought provoking service.
Once a former government building, Queen Anne's Chamber, Conrad London St James is deeply engrained by its 19th Century façade and political postcode. Yet, incredibly forward thinking at the same time.
One of the hotel's most striking features is its stunningly beautiful interior. The magnitude of commissions from the School of Arts, the quality of British furnishings throughout and the abundance of freshly cut flowers are by no means coincidental. Each subtly creates a conversational talking point and provides the perfect ambience for every occasion.
Attention to detail continues through to the individually designed guest rooms. Each beautifully appointed with royally approved Hypnos beds – opulently furnished in 400-thread count linen. The latest technology is intuitively placed and includes an interactive entertainment system with tablet streaming and mood lighting, complimentary Wi-Fi and the Conrad Concierge mobile app allowing guests the ability to customise their hotel stay from the luxury of their smartphone or tablet. With individual features continually alluding to the buildings' historical roots, such as deliberately placed fingerprints finding their place on the espresso cups and running along the carpets. The large bathroom is just as impressive and features an inviting bath, a walk-in rain shower and steam-free mirrors.
There's more to this hotel than just its appearance, it has a beating pulse too. Interpersonal service radiates from every member of the team. Impeccably dressed porters, adorning bowler hats, warmly greet you as you arrive and the extremely knowledgeable concierge team go out of their way to personalise their recommendations.
Located in an area steeped in British history, you only have to step outside the hotel to explore London's most predominant landmarks. It is approx. 7 minutes' walk from the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben and Westminster Abbey. St James' Park tube station is immediately adjacent, providing easy access via the District and Circle Lines.

Daum worry, be happy
Jason Gregor
April 27 2009 09:31AM
Steve Tambellini returned from the under-18 tournament and has started to focus on every aspect of the organization. He has met with many different people inside the organization including the assistant coaches and Rob Daum.
From what I understand, Daum gave Tambellini an overview of Springfield, but the conversation didn't get down to specifics of coaching.
Daum does have one year left on his contract with the team, and has stated before that his true passion is coaching. The big question will be where does he want his coaching career to go?
If his ultimate goal is to be an NHL coach, then he should take the head coaching job in Springfield if the Oilers offer it to him.
Out of the 30 NHL teams, only two head coaches went from assistant to head coach within their respective teams. John Stevens was an assistant in Philly, but he was only an assistant for eight games before replacing the fired Ken Hitchcock. Stevens spent six years as the head man for the Philadelphia Phantoms in the AHL, before being promoted to Hitchcock's staff and ultimately replacing him.
Tony Granato has had a strange rise and fall in Colorado. He was an assistant for a year, and then he got promoted to head coach for two seasons before the lockout. After the lockout he was back as an assistant in Colorado before getting promoted again this past year. It's fair to say that this situation might never play out again for another coach.
Coaches who were assistants in the NHL and then hired by another team, include Lindy Ruff, Todd McLellan, Joel Quenneville, Dave Tippett, Rick Tocchet, Craig MacTavish and Ron Wilson. All of them were former NHL players, so the chance of Daum following their path isn't likely.
Ken Hitchcock was an NHL assistant, and then became head coach in the IHL before getting promoted to Dallas. Terry Murray did the same as Hitchcock. Andy Murray was an NHL assistant, then left the league and coached in Europe and for the Canadian National team before returning seven years later.
The rest were either rookies who got promoted from junior or the AHL.
If Daum ultimately wants to be the head coach of the Oilers, history shows he'd be better off being head coach in Springfield rather than an assistant in Edmonton. Daum doesn't have any connections to Pat Quinn or Marc Crawford, and while he knows Tom Renney, he doesn't have a long-standing relationship with him. I don't see Tambellini telling his new coach who one of his assistants would be, so look for Daum to be the main man in Springfield.
Over-rating AHL success
With the recent success of Dan Bylsma and Cory Clouston, many feel the best route to go is getting a young coach with AHL success. But Clouston missed the playoffs his first year in the AHL, before getting promoted halfway through this second season. Bylsma was having a good first year in the AHL before replacing Michel Therrien.
Neither had a stellar proven career in the AHL, but Clouston had a great track record in the WHL before going to the AHL. What both guys inherited in the NHL was top-end talent, especially up front. Clearly they both got the attention of their players, and got them to buy into the system.
Scott Arniel seems to be the flavour of the week amongst many to replace MacTavish. He was named coach of the year in the AHL this year, and in three years with the Moose he has compiled an impressive 141-71-38 record.
The Moose have had a dominant winning record in the regular season for five years now. Arniel is a good coach, but one of the biggest keys to his success has been drafting and signing veteran players. He's also had success signing AHL players and some decent young prospects.
Springfield was short in both departments.
The Moose went out and signed Jason Krog, the AHL MVP in 2008, and he led them in scoring this year.
The Falcons signed Jake Taylor, a good leader and stay-at-home D-man, but not someone who will make you a playoff contender. Why didn't the Oilers stock Springfield with better veterans? Because they didn't have any NHL contracts to offer them.
That won't be the case this summer. Currently the Oilers have 30 players signed for next season, and 20 of them played in Edmonton last year. MacIntyre, Chorney and Peckham have two-way deals, and you'd expect Brodziak, Smid, Grebeshkov and a goalie to get signed, so that puts them at 34.
Josef Hrabal, Tim Sestito, Geoff Paukovich, Ryan O'Marra, Viatcheslav Trukhno, Jordan Bendfeld, Bryan Pitton, Cody Wild, Bryan Lerg and Jordan Eberle are the other ten and all of them are on two-way deals. Eberle will either be in Edmonton, or most likely back in Regina, where his contract wouldn't count amongst the 50.
Out of the other nine, none of them are prospects that are close to playing in Edmonton, and none are dominant AHLers. Chorney will be in the AHL next season, and depending on what trades happen this summer I think Peckham might start down there as well.
Chris Van De Velde and Alex Plante look to be the only new young players in Springfield next season, so Steve Tambellini will need to get some proven veterans. He should be able to entice some proven veterans by dangling a two-way NHL contract in front of them.
Expect the Oilers to sign proven AHL players this summer. Their experience will give the Oilers depth in case of injury, but more importantly, they will lead the young players in Springfield.
The good and the bad for draft picks
Here's a great story about the Raven's first round draft pick this past Saturday.
Oher's story has already been written as a book, The Blind Side, and they are currently making a movie about him. Here's the book's synopsis.
There are always great success stories in sports, but there are many cases of players who had all the talent, but made some bad decisions and never made it. Read this story, and if one of your kids is lucky enough to get drafted by a team, make sure as a parent you give the right advice and do you homework on which agent to use.
@ Chris: I know. I was waiting for you to chime in. LOL.

Ya I agree. He's had a couple rough years, but he'd be worth a shot.
Speaking of toughness, grit, and softhands, the Oil should pick Zack Kassian in the 2009 draft. He encompasses nolan, gary roberts, messier and Probert. Checkout his Youtube tribute. This guy shows enthusiasm for the game and is willing to drop the gloves with ANYONE (havn't seen lost a tilt yet). He is ranked from 12-14th position for the first round. Kassian has some finesse and has showned that he can score Gm 61 G 24 A 39 Pts 63 PIM 136. Right Wing Born Jan 24 1991 -- LaSalle, ONT Height 6.03 -- Weight 205 -- Shoots R
The Oil is too loaded with small skilled forwards that get pushed around along the boards and corners. We need size and grit now! A ryan Clowe addition would be nice too- but might be injury proned.

Several years ago Mr. On The Town — the No. 1 dog lover in our house — and I attended the play "Sylvia" at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts.
The A.R. Gurney play is about an empty-nest couple who take in a stray dog. I won't give away the ending but this comedy will tug at your heartstrings. I guarantee you'll love this play!
"Sylvia" plays from Nov. 7-17 at the LTAC. Tickets are available at www.LoneTreeArtsCenter.org or by calling 720-509-1000.
Kim Staunton, a winner of a Denver Post Ovation Award, Henry Award, and Westword's Best of Denver among her many local theater performances, stars as Kate. Two Tony Award nominees, director Randal Myler and Jonathan C. Kaplan (as Greg), also are part of the cast and crew.
Denver favorites Jamie Ann Romero (Sylvia) and Randy Moore (Tom, Phyllis and Leslie) round out a stellar cast.
Boys and Girls Club opens
The opening of the new Nancy P. Anschutz Center Boys and Girls Club on Tuesday, Oct. 1 was a celebration, despite a horrific shooting just 11 days earlier that left club advocate Terrance Roberts accused of attempted murder.
Boldfaced names like Denver Mayor Michael Hancock, Phil and Nancy Anschutz, John and Paige Elway and Jack A. Vickers celebrated the opening of the new center at the Jack A. Vickers Boys & Girls Club.
Denver politicos and movers and shakers joined the celebration of a new Park Hill community center that replaced a shopping area torched by a gang in 2008.
Boys and Girls Club President and CEO John Aragoni held the sentiments of many in attendance when he said: "The community here had gone through its ups and downs. But we want to recognize its past with an eye on its future."
`Girl' power for CRA
Sonia Riggs, formerly the executive director of the American Institute of Architects Colorado, is the heir apparent to eventually take over Pete Meersman's chief cheese job with the Colorado Restaurant Association as Meersman prepares for his departure.
CRA chairman of the board Rich Yoke appointed a search committee to advertise, screen, interview and select someone to serve as the new CRA chief operating officer, a position that will transition into the president and chief executive officer when Meersman, who has led the CRA for 30-plus years, leaves the association Nov. 1, 2014.
As of that date, Meersman will become the CRA's chief strategy officer by serving on various affiliated boards and working on special projects until November 2019.
"Sonia will officially begin work at CRA on Nov. 20," Meersman said in a mass email. "She will be at CRA building on occasion before then for other meetings.
"Sonia's professional references raved about her when I talked to them. (All four AIA references not only praised her, but they asked me not to hire her because they wanted her to stay there.) I spent a morning last talking with Sonia in person. She has a great personality and sense of humor. She will fit in well with our very talented staff."
The CRA serves restaurants throughout the metro area and the entire state of Colorado.

Come and share some X's and O's with players Montee Ball, Sylvester Williams, Britton Colquitt, Wesley Woodyard and one of my favorite former players, Rod Smith.

`Orange' you glad for a deal?
Denver hotel The Curtis-a Doubletree by Hilton has an "orange crush" on the Denver Broncos.
According to spokeswoman Julie Dunn, "We're mad about Manning, wild about Welker and delighted over Decker. That's why we're inviting hardcore fans to join us in rooting on the Broncos this fall with a stay at Denver's only pop culture-themes hotel, and then to come back and do it all again in December."
Here's the "Booking Broncos" breakdown:
Rates start at $129 per night when you book your football stay at the Curtis on Oct. 13 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Oct. 26 or 27 vs. the Washington Redskins (and former Broncos head coach Mike Shanahan) or Nov. 16 or 17 vs. the Kansas City Chiefs.
And the rest of the story ... say "Play it again, Peyton" and earn a second visit to the Curtis for $83 per night — in honor of Welker — plus $18 valet parking with homage to Manning on Dec. 7 or 8 vs. the Tennessee Titans or on Dec. 12 against the San Diego Chargers.
