At the end of the 19th Century Bonnard, along with his friend Edouard Vuillard, explored domestic interiors, often containing little space and light. Emphasis was upon placement of objects and details of pattern and composition. Figures were are often obliquely placed and enigmatic in their expressions.
The congested, claustrophobic quality of this work is typical of the intimist works Bonnard created. The closest object to the viewer is the curvaceous and glistening lamp, which hovers above the table dominating the top third of the painting. The foreground is dominated by the curved and uptilted surface of a table set with four glass carafes, some platters of fruit and other foodstuffs. There are two red textured chairs, one of which is severely cropped on the bottom right. A strong diagonal shaft of light leads from this chair to the figure of a small boy peeping into the room. As the eye wanders around the table it finds a tabby cat, tail upraised, walking behind the table on the left. However the division between the floor and the wall is indistinct.
On the table the placement of objects appears random, with the dense crowd of objects on the right nearly all touching or overlapping. The space on the left is anchored by an isolated, glistening carafe of water. Adding to the stillness of the composition the small boy and the cat appear to be frozen in a moment of memorised time.

By GARY ARRINGTONSports writer
Last week was a special week for the Lady Spartans. Not only did they pick up two key region victories in wins over Delta and Carbon, they played defense at a whole new level. Defensively last week the Lady Spartans were spectacular. The final score against Delta was 58-29 and against Carbon was 45-28.
In the Delta game, Emery played solid defense in the first quarter and led 8-6 going into the second quarter. Then they struck, just like that. Offensively they scored 10 of the first 11 points and 16 of the first 20 but their defense stepped it up and completely shut down any offense the Rabbits thought about running.
A good point guard and a good center prior to this game led Delta. Emery took it as a challenge to shut them down as there was rumor prior to the game that the Rabbits were confident about their chances against the Spartans. It wasn't just one or two girls that stepped it up, it was all the starters, in fact it was everybody that played. Midway through the second quarter, frustration was clearly visible on the faces of the Rabbits and confusion sat in. Emery won the second quarter 23-8.
The third quarter brought more of the same as Emery won the period 21-9. Emery has a really strong 8-man rotation and in this game everything clicked.
Against Carbon, who prior to the game was ranked by the Salt Lake Tribune right below Emery, Emery completely dominated the first half of basketball. Although Emery only scored six points in the first quarter, the Spartans held Carbon scoreless. It was a case that Emery could not buy a basket but is was also a case that Carbon couldn't get a shot off. It was great defense played by Emery. Emery then proceeded to score 18 points in the second quarter while they held the Dinos to only 4 points. Carbon scored their only basket of the half at 4:50 mark of the second quarter and then added two free throws with ten seconds left until half. Impossible as it may sound, Emery's defense may have got even better in that second period.
Leading the scoring for the Spartans in the Carbon game were Rachel Rasmussen with 12 points and ShiAnne Allred with 10 points. Camille Fehlberg also scored 8 points, Meagan Pearson and Jodie Lundell scored 4 points each, Jodi Robertson scored 3 points and Shalae Cox and Frankie Komar scored 2 points. Allred had 7 rebounds and 2 steals, Fehlberg had 4 rebounds and 3 steals and Rasmussen and Lundell had 4 rebounds each.
After the game Coach Steven Gordon complimented his team, "Good win. The defensive pressure was great tonight and our press was effective. Our offense needs work. We need to shoot the ball better in a big game, we have got to shoot with confidence. But it was a good win."
Against Delta, Fehlberg led a balanced Emery attack with 14 points, 5 steals and a blocked shot. Rasmussen contributed 9 points, 5 rebounds and 4 steals while Allred also had 9 points along with 6 steals and 4 rebounds. Pearson also had 9 points, 6 rebounds and 2 steals while Robertson scored 10 points. Lundell had 5 points and Cox had 2 points.
Emery is at North Sanpete on Tuesday night and comes home to face Juan Diego on Thursday night at home.

(Saag Paneer)
Editor's note: These instructions are excerpted from Julie Sahni's book Classic Indian Vegetarian and Grain Cooking. Sahni also shared some helpful cooking tips exclusively with Epicurious, which we've added at the bottom of the page.
Indian cheese (paneer) is a delicacy all Indians—particularly vegetarians—love. Popular all through the north from Bengal in the east to Gujarat and Punjab in the west, paneer is cooked in an onion-and-cumin-laced spinach sauce. I add sweet red peppers, as the brilliant red peppers and ivory-white cheese pieces look stunning against the glazed moss-green sauce.
- Yield
- For 4-6 persons
- Indian cheese (paneer) made with 8 cups milk (see tips, below) or 8 ounces farmer's cheese or 2 cakes tofu, sliced as paneer
- 2 cups cooked spinach
- 1 sweet green pepper, cored and seeded
- 6-8 tablespoons light vegetable oil
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour for dusting
- 1 1/2 cups finely chopped onion
- 2 tablespoons grated or crushed fresh ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- 4 hot green chilies, minced
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt, or to taste
- 2 medium-size sweet red peppers, cored, seeded, and cut into 1-inch-wide strips
- 2 teaspoons garam masala (see tips, below)
- 1. Lay the paneer, farmer's cheese, or tofu pieces in a single layer on a cookie sheet lined with paper towels and let dry for 10 minutes (this will enable them to hold their shape better during cooking).
- 2. Puree the spinach and green pepper together in a food processor or blender. The puree should be as fine and velvety as you can make it.
- 3. Heat 4 tablespoons of the oil in a large, heavy, nonstick pan over medium heat. Dust the paneer pieces lightly with flour and add them to the pan. Fry them in batches, turning and tossing them until they turn light golden (about 2 or 3 minutes per batch). Watch carefully to ensure that they do not burn. Take them out and put on a dish and set aside.
- 4. Add 2 more tablespoons of oil to the same pan, along with the onion. Fry the onion, stirring constantly, until brown (about 20 minutes). Add the ginger and fry for an additional 2 minutes. Add the turneric and green chilies, stir for a few seconds, then add the spinach puree along with 1/2 cup water, salt, and sweet red peppers. Mix well and bring to a boil. Lower heat and cook, covered, for 2 minutes. Add the fried paneer pieces, mix again thoroughly, and continue cooking for 2 more minutes. Stir in the garam masala.
- When ready to serve, heat thoroughly and, if desired, fold in the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil to glaze and mellow the sauce.
Julie Sahni shares her tips with Epicurious:
• Indian cheese is available at many Indian markets. To make it from scratch: Bring 8 cups whole milk to a boil. Add 3 tablespoons lemon juice and reduce heat. Keep liquid at a gentle boil until white curd separates from yellow whey, then remove from heat and pour through a colander lined with cheesecloth. Hold colander under cold water and rinse the curds, then gather corners of cheesecloth together and twist to remove excess liquid. Hang the bundle to drain for an hour, then place it on a work surface and weigh it down with a heavy object (such as a large pot filled with water) for half an hour. Remove the cheesecloth and cut the cheese into small cubes. Keep refrigerated, submerged in water, until needed, up to 4 days. • Garam masala, an aromatic north Indian spice blend that includes cinnamon and cloves, is available online at www.ethnicfoodsco.com.

Girl Scouts of Southern Alabama is honoring Liz Sutton at its annual Women of Distinction event on Thursday, March 15, 2012 in Montgomery. Press Rep Cheyenne sat down with Mrs. Sutton recently to find out more about our honoree. For more information about the Women of Distinction event or to purchase tickets, click here.
Courage, confidence, character, warm, friendly and successful are a just a few of the words I would use to describe Liz Sutton, Girl Scout alumna and honoree for the Girl Scout Woman of Distinction 2012. It was a pleasure for me to interview her, and you can meet her too.
Press Rep Cheyenne: I wanted to start out saying that I am so honored to be meeting you since you did get woman of the year. Were you ever a girl scout?
Liz Sutton: Absolutely!
PRC: How many years?
Oh my goodness, now I realIy don't know but when I was at St. Bedes I was a Girl Scout. That is where I got to go camping. I was one of nine children so we could not spend the night with friends because there were just too many kids for mom and dad to keep up with. That's where I learned a lot of things and I loved to earn badges and I kept a spiral notebook. And I wrote down everything I learned and I still do that today. I still write down things and that is how I learn. I wrote it down and go back and read it and I tend to remember it. I attribute a lot of my success to my good foundation with Girl Scouts.
PRC: Do you think Girl Scouts played a role in your success?
LS: Absolutely, I think what they did is they opened my eyes to the world. My world consisted of my family life and school and church. So sewing and photography and mechanics and all the things that were outside of my world I was exposed to in Girl Scouts. So I often wonder how I would have learned about them. And then meeting other people and doing fun things together but also memorizing the Girl Scout promise... Just learning, you know, that God and our country is important and that serving other people is important. You learn at school. You learn at church. But to learn it in a social environment like that with your friends was great. And then I learned to sell. I was a great cookie sales person. And I love
PRC: You have worked with the small business resource center and chamber of commerce. What are the must-have skills for someone aspiring to start a small business?
LS: Great question...alright Cheyenne let's think. So what I think it takes to start a business is a great passion for whatever you want to do. You have to love it so much that when times get tough it doesn't matter. To me it is not work. I love what I do. I love to serve. I love to take care of the clients. And I love the travel industry. It's great to have a career you are passionate about. Cause if you are passionate, your clients will pick-up on that passion and they will be attracted to it. And you will enjoy it more. You'll serve them better. So I think passion is number one.
Number two is a very strong work ethic. Number three is to have a good business mind. Be good with dollars and cents. Be able to keep a budget. Be able to watch your pennies. And be able to think outside the box. Everything is not just here and neat and tidy. If it was then everybody would be doing it. So you've got to find your niche. [The Small Business Resource Center is] an excellent resource. How do you know about that?
PRC: Research. It was in your bio.
LS: Ah, very good, very impressive.
PRC: Thank you. What classes do you think kids taking now, that they probably don't like and don't see the use for, are going to need in the future? What do you say to those people who actually don't think there is a job out there that you can use it?
LS: Okay, you'll laugh at this first one...but typing. I though typing was a waste of time. But you have to understand that back then we didn't have the computers. And I just didn't understand why anybody would want to take a typing class. Two weeks after I graduated from Catholic High...my dad hired me in the travel business and I was typing flight schedules with flight numbers and departure times.
The other one is math. I love math. And math teaches you good logical thinking skills and problem-solving skills. And I think because of my math background I'm very creative when there's challenges in this office. When there is a problem, I love it. Most people shy away from it and don't want to get near it. I embrace it. You have to uncover all the facts. Then I have to put the pieces together. I like to help people think logically through it and come up with creative solutions.
PRC: I am so happy to hear you say math because right now I have an "A" in it and people say don't need it any more.
LS: You will never believe how good math is for you 'cause it gives you a lot of good logic.
PRC: What advice would you give to Girls Scouts and to girls in general that you think would help them in their life and what they want to succeed in?
That's a million dollar question. Okay, I would teach them so much. One is that you are a child of God and you are every bit as important as every other person in this world. When I first started in business it was a man's world and I was an inferior person to them. I was intimidated by them when I would go to talk to them. But I had to go meet them because I needed to get their business in order to be successful. And when I got married I realized my husband is a normal guy. These guys are probably normal too. And that was when I started realizing, I may be a woman in the South but I am every bit as professional and competent as they are. I may not have as many years' experience as they do but I am still valued and should be respected. I had to respect myself and who I was. Hold myself up high
PRC: Why do you think Girl Scouting was important to you?
I think it taught me so much about life. I learned so much being in a big family. But I think Girl Scouts opened the world to me and taught me there is so much more out there than I realized. And I learned about friendships and I learned about respecting adults. Which I learned from my parents but it was reinforced in Girl Scouts. And we would have speakers come and talk to us. And then I learned about arts and crafts. I didn't know anything about arts and crafts till then. And I started making dolls and little things. So I think that gave me some hobbies. It wasn't just about me or about my little world in this bubble. There's a great big, old world out there. So it was awesome.
PRC: I think your job shows you love this world.
LS: I do. I do. I love people and I love this world.
PRC: And I want to say thank you for allowing me to interview you.

Team Canada Athlete of the Month - Mikael Bartholdy
Date of birth: February 24, 1982
Height: 175 cm
Weight: 85 kg
Hometown: Calgary
Team: Canadian national sitting team
Thirty-year-old Mikael Bartholdy was hoping he would be preparing for the Paralympics this summer but Canada just fell short in its bid to qualify for the Games last year. Still, Canada's sitting volleyball veteran is enjoying being part of the squad's rebuilding program which is vying for a spot at the 2016 Paralympics.
''A lot of new guys have come to try out for the team and it has really injected a lot of new blood into the program,'' said Bartholdy, who leads the Canadian team in international matches at 49 with Eric Dechaine, Douglas Learoyd and Jose Rebelo. ''It's obvious the efforts we have made to showcase the sport across Canada has really paid off.''
One of those showcases was at the Canadian Open this past May in Toronto where 11 new players shoed their talents to the national coaching staff.
In addition, Bartholdy has made presentations at schools through the Canadian Paralympic Committee program. ''The volleyball community has been really good about talking about the program. All the little things help.''
Bartholdy joined Canada's standing volleyball team at age 18. He helped Canada to the standing volleyball silver medal at the 2000 Paralympics in Sydney as well as three world titles and a World Cup crown.
When the standing program was switched for the sitting –which is now the Paralympic event – in 2006 Bartholdy and his other teammates gladly followed suit. While there have been growing pains for Canada in adapting to the sitting program, the improvements have been clearly noticeable including bronze medals at the last two ParaPan American Games.
Along with his sitting volleyball career, Bartholdy is a third year nursing student at Mount Royal College in Calgary. He hopes to work in a children's hospital and help kids with a disability. Bartholdy was born with a bone disease in his lower left leg and it was amputated below the knee as an infant.
''I hope I'll have an opportunity to show the kids what I've been able to accomplish, he said. ''I want to motivate them and tell them what a big difference they can make and they can accomplish their goals.''

I've had a Toto toilet (Dartmouth model with GMax system) for about one year now and it recently stopped refilling the bowl immediately after we flush.
First the bowl empties completely and then, after about 20 seconds of silence, I hear the sound of running water just before it begins to fill - ever so sloooooowly. Do you know what I can do to correct this problem?

Human Resources and Security Specialists should use this tool to determine the correct investigation level for any covered position within the U.S. Federal Government.
Unless you choose FERS, there is no additional cost to you. If you choose FERS, you will only incur additional costs if you decide to make additional TSP contributions (known as make-up contributions). These are contributions that you could have made if you had been correctly covered by FERS. Of course, you're the one who chooses how much additional contributions you want to make.
FERS stands for the Federal Employees Retirement System. FERS became effective in 1987 and most new Federal civilian employees hired after 1983 are automatically covered by FERS. FERS is a three-tiered retirement plan. The three components are the:
Most FERS employees pay 0.8% of basic pay for FERS basic benefits. The agency contributes 10.7% or more to FERS. The FERS basic benefit provides retirement, disability, and survivor benefits and may be reduced for early retirement or to provide survivor protection.
The FERS basic benefit is computed based on your length of service and the highest average basic pay you earned during any 3 consecutive years of service (know as the "high-3" average pay). Generally, the FERS basic benefit is 1% of your high-3 average pay times your years of creditable service.
FERS employees can currently contribute up to 11% of basic pay to the Thrift Savings Plan. An automatic Government contribution adds 1% of basic pay to every FERS employee's TSP account. The Government adds up to another 4% of basic pay, depending on how much the employee chooses to contribute.
Look at any of your Standard Form 50s (Notifications of Personnel Actions). There's a block that shows your retirement plan. It's Block 30 on all current SF-50s. You'll see a code followed by an acronym that represents your retirement plan. Most Federal employees are in one of four possible retirement plans. They are:
Retirement Plan
Commonly Called
Civil Service Retirement System
Code 1 or 6
Civil Service Retirement System and Social Security
CSRS Offset
Code C or E
Social Security Only
Code 2
Federal Employees Retirement System
Code K, L, M, or N
"FICA" indicates Social Security coverage on your SF-50. For example, your retirement coverage as it appears on the SF-50 may be CSRS and FICA instead of CSRS Offset or FERS and FICA instead of FERS.
If your agency does not use Standard Form 50s, you can find your retirement plan on the form it uses to notify you of personnel actions.
FERCCA is the Federal Erroneous Retirement Coverage Corrections Act. It is a law that addresses the long-term harm to retirement planning created when employees are put in the wrong retirement plan.
It depends on what your retirement coverage error was and how long you were in the wrong retirement plan. FERCCA may provide you one or all of the following:
We believe that the number of employees in the wrong retirement plan is very small. Agencies have discovered and corrected many retirement coverage errors. However, we are certain some employees still are in the wrong retirement plan.
If you have not worked for the Federal Government continuously since 1983, or you have had changes in appointment types and retirement plans, then you may want to ask your agency to review your retirement coverage to ensure that it is correct.
Social Security-Only means coverage under Social Security without also being covered under either CSRS or FERS. You would have Social Security-Only coverage if you were hired under an appointment that is excluded from CSRS or FERS.
Usually employees serving under temporary appointments (limited to 1 year or less), intermittent employees, and other appointments that would not be expected to last at least 5 years (such as term and excepted indefinite appointments) are excluded from CSRS.
Employees serving under temporary (limited to 1 year or less) appointments and intermittent employees are generally excluded from FERS.
Which retirement plan you belong in depends upon the type of appointment you have and your work history. The rules can be complicated. That's why some employees are in the wrong plan. Below are some of the common errors, broken down by retirement plan. Find your retirement plan, and see if you fit any of the situations listed. If you do, you may be in the wrong plan. But, remember there are exceptions to the general rules. You may be in the right retirement plan because you fall under one of the exceptions (like the one shown under CSRS Offset). Contact your Human Resources office. They can help you.
Worked for the Government before 1984, but not on a permanent basis; or
Left Federal employment for more than a year at any time after 1983; or
Have a temporary appointment limited to a year or less, a term appointment, or an emergency indefinite appointment; orHave no Federal civilian employment before 1984; or
Do not have a career or career conditional appointment and you work on an intermittent basis. (See the work schedule block on your SF-50.)
Do not have a career or career conditional appointment and you work on an intermittent basis. (See the work schedule block on your SF-50.); or
Did not work for the Government for a total of 5 years before 1987 (don't count your military service).
Exception: If you worked under CSRS, left the Government, and your agency placed you in CSRS Offset on your return, your CSRS Offset coverage is probably correct if you had 5 years Government service when you left.)
Have a temporary appointment limited to a year or less;
Do not have a career or career conditional appointment and you work on an intermittent basis; or
Have worked for the Government for at least 5 years before 1987 (not including military service) unless you elected to transfer to FERS during a FERS Open Seasons or after a break in service.

The recent heavy snows along the Skyline Drive and the activity of snowmobilers in the area led to a series of avalanches in this area. Snowmobiles were buried, but the riders were not injured in the snow slides.
mobiles were buried, but the riders were not injured in the snow slides. Eric Trenbeath is the avalanche specialist for the Manti-LaSal National Forest, "The snowmobilers that triggered the avalanche on March 8 were very lucky they were not buried. It did bury a machine. The Huntington and Fairview Canyon are very prone to avalanche. There are a lot of 35 degree slopes up there. Generally slopes between 30 and 40 degrees are avalanche prone. Huntington/Fairview is used by a large group of snowmobilers. Forty-four percent of avalanches triggered by humans are by snowmobiles. The machines are more high-powered these days and can climb up the steeper slopes. There has been a dramatic increase in snowmobile triggered slides in recent years. There are a number of incidents in the Huntington/Fairview area; five years ago two snowboarders were killed in an avalanche. Last winter in the Seely Canyon area a guy was buried and his machine created an air pocket around him until they were able to dig him out. Avalanches are becoming a regular occurrence and more and more people have been going for rides along the path of these avalanches, which are usually triggered by them or one of their buddies.
"The key to staying safe is avalanche awareness and education. We encourage people to check our website for an avalanche advisory at www.avalanche.org. This gives regional information an information on avalanches throughout North America. The site gives weather information and snow conditions and avalanche danger. We teach classes to snowmobilers, land management agencies and other users. At one of our training classes it was two days after a big storm and the avalanche danger was high in the canyon that day. It was a sunny day and within two hours time there were a reported six avalanches and two burials. You always need an avalanche beacon and carry a shovel on your machine. When you are buried in an avalanche the snow sets up around you like wet cement and there's no way you can dig yourself out. One guy was found with his hands sticking out of the snow and he died of suffocation that close to the top. If you're buried then your buddy better locate you and dig you out within 15 minutes or you will die of suffocation. After 15 minutes the chance of finding someone alive diminishes greatly.
"There is an international avalanche danger rating which are: low, natural avalanches are very unlikely, human triggered avalanches are unlikely. Travel is generally safe in all terrain for travelers of all skill levels. Normal caution is advised to enforce good habits while traveling in slide paths...one at a time, never cross above your buddies, have an escape plan in case you are caught by a slide and get out of the way at the bottom. Moderate: natural avalanches are unlikely, human-triggered avalanches are possible. Use caution in steeper terrain, especially on aspects identified in the avalanche advisory. Considerable: natural avalanches are possible, human-triggered avalanches are probable. Be increasingly cautious in steeper terrain. As always, be prepared to change your plan or back off if things don't look right...even if it was a long hike. High: natural and human-triggered avalanches are likely. Travel in avalanche terrain is not recommended. Use all of your sneaky tricks for staying out of trouble...stay out of run-out zones, stick to dense trees, low angle slopes and ridgelines away from cornices (overhanging snow). Extreme: widespread natural or human-triggered avalanches are certain. What are you doing in the mountains, anyway? It's probably dumping snow and blowing hard. Stay well away from avalanche path run-outs and travel only in low angle terrain.
"A snowboarder awhile back was killed when the overhang (cornice) he was standing on gave way and carried him to the bottom of the ravine where he was buried. You've got to know if the snow you are on is stable. If you hear noise and settling you better get out of there. Natural occurring avalanches come and release by themselves all of the time. Ninety percent of victims killed are done so in a slide that they triggered themselves. They will see a natural slide that has occurred and climb up the slope right next to it and you can't do that. You've got to be aware of where you are and your surroundings at all times. This season alone in North American there have been 40 avalanche deaths.
"This past week there was approximately six inches of new snow in the canyon. We have our field staff up there checking and collecting data to update the advisory every week. There are so many users in that canyon...the vehicles line up along the sides of the roads and there are hundreds of people up there each weekend. We want them to be able to play in the snow, but to do it safely and responsibly. We've had a pretty big season with numerous natural slides. We had a lot of snow over the holidays and then a big dry spell in January and February. The snow deteriorates and is weak and then when you get fresh snowfall the underlying snow can't hold it and it slides. In the public domain we don't do any control work on avalanches. All we can do is advise people of the dangers.
"Another thing is important for people to realize is that it doesn't take a big slide to bury and kill you. A small slope of snow on a hill 50 feet tall can slide and bury you and it doesn't take that much. A slide 75 feet wide with snow one-two feet deep can take you for a ride and bury you. Most are not huge catastrophic events. The snowpack tells a history of the winter, like how warm its been and if there have been a lot of thaws which tend to deteriorate the snow stability. Then you get some heavy wet snow on top of this and it leads to the unstable snowpack. You never know how much weight this unstable snowpack can hold. You need to know what the signs of instability are so it's good if you're out in the back country a lot to take one of our training classes. You've got to know that the first sign is natural occurrences of slides in the area, if you see a natural slide do not climb up the slope next to it.
"We will be finished with our advisories for this year around the middle of April. This is the fourth year we have been doing the avalanche advisory. The snowmobile hotline number is 1-800-648-7433 and snowmobilers can call that number for current avalanche conditions or check our website," said Trenbeath.

Kentucky Democrats have spoken: Ashley Judd is their top choice to face Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell in 2014.
The actress was the Senate candidate of choice for 29% of Democratic primary voters in a new Public Policy Polling survey, easily beating out such experienced politicians as Lt. Gov. Jerry Abramson and Attorney General Jack Conway.
Abramson, the former long-time mayor of Louisville, received 16% support followed by Conway, the Democratic nominee for Senate in 2010, with 15%.
Judd is reportedly seriously considering running for the Senate, according to a Politico report, and has talked to a pollster among other steps.She attended the University of Kentucky, but now lives in Tennessee.
McConnell campaign manager Jesse Benton has warned that the Kentucky Republican will be ready to aggressively push back on any and all comers. The PPP poll showed McConnell would lead Abramson, Conway and Judd, even though the Republican has a low approval rating among Kentucky voters. (McConnell is rated favorably by 37% of Kentucky voters compared to 55% who view him unfavorably.)
McConnell's campaign team dismissed the poll's methodology on Twitter, noting that it relies on automated calls. The Senate minority leader's team also tweeted that a poll in the Courier-Journal newspaper showed McConnell with a 51% approval rating.
Public Policy Polling, which is a Democratic-leaning firm, surveyed 1,266 Kentucky voters -- including 585 Democratic primary voters -- Friday through Sunday. The margin of error for the Democratic questions was +/- 4.1 percentage points. The poll's overall margin of error is +/- 2.8 points.

The Emery County Historical Society held its annual Cowboy Poetry night on Aug. 28. Glendon and Frank Johnson, of Castle Valley Outdoors, welcomed the group to the ranch for the gathering. Glendon Johnson began his welcome with a short personal history. He told the group that he was born in Cleveland and drank the same ditch water growing up that they had as children. His career as an attorney has taken him many places, but Emery County is always his favorite to come "home" to. "You are all welcome to look around at what we have been building here and you're welcome to come back anytime," said Johnson.
Sam Singleton began his emcee duties by introducing Al Shakespaere, of Ferron, who would be performing later and also operating the sound system. Singleton then welcomed Sam DeLeeuw, a cowboy poet from Manti, to be the first performer. Singleton explained DeLeeuw's Emery County roots by saying that at one time she had been a school teacher in Ferron and that her sister, Irene Mead, still lives here.
DeLeeuw began by reciting two of her original poems. The first about a new love in her life, her grandson. Her second poem was about a topic that all of the ranchers in the audience could relate to, Spreading Sunshine, about a manure spreader.
Shakespaere sang I Don't Think I Will and Teddy Bear followed by a local artist, Russ Swasey. Swasey recited a touching poem written by his cousin Ross Nordell, about Swasey's Cabin.
Local musician Jay Frandsen was next with two songs that he had written. More poetry followed by Shawnee Barnes, who selected three poems that the wives of the ranchers understood well.
A poignant moment in the program was a song by Evelyn Huntsman, who sang, accompanied by prerecorded music being played by her sister JoAnn Cox who had recently been killed in a car accident in Price Canyon. Another Ferron poet was next, Kent Petersen told two stories about the lives of cowboys of the past.
Zen Majors, of Huntington, recited an original poem about a "Special Piece of Cloth," the American flag, followed by a humorous piece about "Reincarnation."
As the Dutch oven fruit cobblers were being prepared, DeLeeuw, Shakespaere and Frandsen performed again to the apparent delight of the crowd.
The Emery County Historical Society is one of the largest historical societies in the state and they meet once a month to continue the tradition of celebrating the past. Their dues are inexpensive and welcome new members to join them. The monthly meetings are on the fourth Thursday of each month.

Tour-boat passengers on the Spree River take in the Berliner Dom cathedral.
Visitors to Bradenburg Gate pose with an East German soldier—okay, he's really an actor with a cheeky sense of humor.
Four-block-long Gräfestrasse, in Berlin's Kreuzberg neighborhood, is paved with cobblestones and lined with cafés and shops.
Many of the more than 100 paintings that make up the East Side Gallery have recently been restored by their creators. The gallery, which is less than a mile long, is all that remains of the formerly 96-mile-long Berlin Wall.
Antsy travelers can skip the long lines at the Reichstag (whose dome is shown here) by making a reservation for tea at the glass-walled rooftop Käfer Cafe, which sits adjacent to the dome.
The MACHmit! Museum for Children is hidden inside an old Protestant church and outfitted with Bauhaus-inspired climbing shelves, fun-house mirrors, and hands-on arts and crafts and cooking exhibits.
Breakfast is truly the most important meal of the day in Berlin; in fact, locals often let Frühstück stretch well into the afternoon.
With more than 17,000 animals, Berlin's 168-year-old Zoological Garden has one of the most diverse populations of any zoo in the world.
The Badeschiff, a swimming pool installed atop an old barge docked on the Spree River, is a top summer attraction for Berliners. It's connected to land by a series of piers, where cocktail bars, a mini-spa, and a "beach" of trucked-in sand spring up each season.
Staying at the 14-room Hotel-Pension Funk, in the former home of silent film actress Asta Nielsen, is like being transported to a bygone era—albeit one with free Wi-Fi.
The Käfer Café atop the Reichstag has great views of the Berlin cityscape.
Berlin's newest and largest park is at 990-acre Tempelhof airport, site of the 1948-49 Allied air lift that supplied food to West Berlin. Its defunct runways have been repurposed for bicycle races and kite-flying contests, and pick-up baseball games take place on the fields where U.S. troops once played.
At the Babylon cinema in Mitte, silent films are screened with diverse musical accompaniments—one night might be the movie's original score performed live on piano, and the next it might be a local DJ spinning trance music.
A playful spirit characterizes the Michelberger Hotel, in a converted factory. Families should book the "band room," which has five single beds, a lofted sleeping area, a dining table, and big windows overlooking the communal courtyard.
Kid-friendly street food is one of Berlin's many strengths. In Kreuzberg, Mustafa's turns out Turkish döner kebab sandwiches with a twist: crisp flatbread stacked with delicately spiced chicken and shredded vegetables.
Everyone knows Berlin has great nightlife, but the iconic dancehall Clärchens Ballhaus, in business since 1913, has more of an all-ages scene than you'll find at most clubs.

GDB XXIII: Shooting down the hot 'Hawks
Jason Gregor
November 21 2009 04:00PM
Tonight is your second last chance to watch a regular season Oiler game at Rexall Place on a Saturday. The last time will be in a month when Alex Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals come to town on December 19th.
And also today, one of our loyal Nation readers will win a pair of tickets for tonight's game.
While your original thought might be, "SWEET," I feel I should prepare you in case you win.
If you plan on having a few bevies, just remember the heroin beers are $8, and you can only get two at a time. The good news is that you only need three to get a good buzz on.
Preparing for battle
The Blackhawks are 8-1-2 in their last eleven games and they've outscored the opposition 33-20. They have dominated in almost every category. They've scored 10 PP goals, while surrendering only four. They've taken 89 more shots during this stretch, and they've had 12 different goal scorers in their recent five-game winning streak.
Even their goaltending has been stellar, with Christobal Huet winning five straight with a 1.80 GAA and a .960 SV%.
You've become accustomed to seeing Ice Women every week here on the Nation, but you won't see any tonight. You might get to see some R&B dancing girls though.
Reasons to believe the Oilers can win
- Despite going 0-2 last year and getting outscored 12-3, the Oilers are 7-3 in their last ten home games v. the Hawks, and have outscored them 32-13 in the eight homes prior to last year.
- Khabibulin is 12-7-1 v. the Hawks and is 24-13-2 against his former teams.
- The Oilers have won seven of eleven home games, while the Hawks have only won three games on the road.
- The Oilers should have J.F Jacques back in the line up tonight. Jacques, despite missing the last seven games, still leads the Oilers in hits with 53 which is 17 more than any other Oiler. The Oilers missed Jacques' consistent physical presence much more than his two goals and three assists.
- You should see lots of offence tonight. The Oilers are averaging 3.35 goals at home, compared to scoring only 2.27 on the road.
- You won't have to listen to Cotton Eyed Joe.
If Jacques plays here are the lines you could see:
Penner — Horcoff — Hemsky
Cogliano — O'Sullivan — Brule
Jacques — Gagner — Stortini
Moreau — Potulny — Reddox
These aren't written in stone, and Pat Quinn isn't afraid to juggle his lines during the games, based on who is going.
Live hockey: now in colour
If you want to go to the game e-mail me (<-- click!) and I'll pick a random winner to watch the Hawks and Oilers. You can only enter once (duplicate entries will be ignored). Entries MUST be submitted by 5:59pm. Include your phone number in your message. You'll be directed to pick up your tickets at Will Call. Good luck!
November 21 2009, 04:01PM
I knew it was game day, b*tches!
Edit: I may be willing to fly to Edmonton to catch this game. Don't let my 'hometown' fool you.
Edit 2: Prior edit is actually a huge lie. I have tickets to the Manitoba Moose game tonight.
November 21 2009, 04:13PM
I have a feeling the Oilers will win this game tonight. Something also tells me they are going to set a tone right from the first face-off, and that effort could turn into their biggest win of the season so far.
Don't ask me why, I just have that feeling.
November 21 2009, 04:13PM
I hope I win
*fingers crossed*
November 21 2009, 04:14PM
Going to be a tough game tonight. Hopefully the Oilers come focused, start strong and bring it all game long.
Oilers: 3 - Hemsky, Souray, O'Sullivan
Hawks: 2 - Versteeg, Sharp
November 21 2009, 04:26PM
Hmmm... Who are the Hamilton Bulldogs affiliated with?
The Montreal Canadians, apparently.
That should be interesting. Any prospects I should be looking for?
November 21 2009, 04:33PM
Hey. The Game Day Blog us up. Whee:
Final Score: 8-3 Oilers. Hemsky gets 4 (he's been reading the posts of the last 24 hours), Penner with 2, Souray and Vis with 1 each.
Obvious Prediction: With Chicago leading 3-0 in the first, Ben Eager runs someone head-first into the boards and gets a game misconduct. Souray then stands in front of Chicago's bench and silently intimidates them. Chicago decides to let Edmonton win.
Not So Obvious Prediction: Patrick Kane is caught on camera checking all the payphones for spare change while heading onto the ice.
November 21 2009, 04:34PM
Hmmm... Who are the Hamilton Bulldogs affiliated with?

Apparently there's some black kid who had a pretty good tournament around Christmas last year.
Plz, plz, plz . . .
P.K. Subban?
EDIT: Another Bulldog to keep an eye on at the game would probably be Yannick Weber. I've heard him being referred to as a younger version of Mark Streit.
November 21 2009, 04:45PM
Rumour has it that Khabibulin tweaked his back in practice and JDD will start.
November 21 2009, 04:46PM
I didn't think I needed to add the sarcasm ~, but yes, PK. Who, if you ask Pierre McGuire, is pretty much the second coming of Orr. Bobby, not Colton.
November 21 2009, 04:46PM
Rumour has it that Khabibulin tweaked his back in practice and JDD will start.
~See, Pat Quinn. THAT'S what happens if you practice too hard!~
Ah. How perceptive of me.
November 21 2009, 04:53PM
Rumour has it that Khabibulin tweaked his back in practice and JDD will start.
Rumour has it? Fan board? Media report?
This would be a shweet game to win tickets to. Was at the Colorado game on Wed. Sat in the nosebleeds behind Gregor, Chase, Nielson et al. Also in our section, I presume the Sherwood Park Crusaders, as Chase and some of the Cru gave shout outs back and forth. Next up, the Sharks on Friday, row 3 from the gf... unless I can magically pull off a win and take her to the Hawks game tonite (she`s an Oil fan, Khabibulin jersey and all).
Rumour has it? Fan board? Media report?
I believe I just heard Doug MacLean mention Khabibulin was out tonite. Didn`t quite catch it.
November 21 2009, 05:02PM
It is posted on the Oilers website,JDD will play and the oil kings goalie Jung will back up JDD,
November 21 2009, 05:09PM
Finally Torrie Jung is getting a shot!
*throws up in his mouth thinking about JDD getting hurt*
Just got an e-mail from the Oilers (weird?) stating Khabibulin is out, JDD is in and the Oilers signed Torrie Jung (Edmonton WHL) to an emergency contract to play backup tonight.
Oh boy... hopefully Khabi doesn't go down for an extended amount of time. This could get ugly.
November 21 2009, 05:21PM
Sounds like the Oilers are bringing in some 'Jung-blood'...ahem...
Rumour has it? Fan board? Media report?
It's on the Oiler's website. I actually don't mind JDD starting again. Hopefully he'll be better early than he was against Colorado. He'll have to be or we're in deep. Hope Khalibulin's back is nothing serious although Tambo going out and signing this young guy scares me....
November 21 2009, 05:27PM
Isn't this one of those "emergency - one game" signings? I'd think a player would have to have a contract to play in the NHL.
November 21 2009, 05:28PM
Torrie Jung is probably crapping his pants right about now.
November 21 2009, 05:30PM
I remember Jung from when he was a Rocket...man did that kid ever suck!! Everyone should put down their beer and pray JDD doesn't get hurt.
November 21 2009, 05:31PM
It's just and Amateur Tryout Contract. It's alot easier to get a goalie in town to play. They did it with Sorochan once didn't they? When he was with the Golden Bears...
November 21 2009, 05:32PM
*imagines 'Torrie Jung' as Ray Whitney's dad with a fake moustache*
November 21 2009, 05:32PM

Somewhere Gene Principe is hating himself for not working the game tonight, and missing out on that absolute home run.

E-mail from Oilers, Khabby definitely not signing. T.Jung from Oil Kings signed to game contract as backup.

I think I saw somewhere that this game was on CBC. I knew it was wrong though because the Oilers dont televise their games anymore.

~With their record, you can't blame them for being gunshy about people actually watching them. Hopefully, they get another win tonight, set the jitters on their way, and sign a TV deal again.~
Oh, and for heavens sake don't mention the words "Hockey Night in Canada' to the Jung kid. He'd soil himself right there on the bench, and that's nothing people want to see. Well, except Jeanshorts maybe . . .
November 21 2009, 06:51PM
Do you think he has anything left in the tank to wreck his underwear? If I was him I would have puked my liver up before the ink dried on the contract.
You still have a liver?
Wait . . . Wanye didn't harvest extras from homeless people for you, did he?

Nice to have you back, JFJ.

So, is Dave Manson doing play-by-play tonight?
November 21 2009, 08:16PM
Went head hunting and bagged himself.
Vis and Smid with a rare poor shift...
November 21 2009, 08:25PM
If you watch the hawks play, there is so much puck support, two players always converge to the puck carrier. Why can't the Oilers play that way? Maybe they are still scared of MacT? Or the scorth of Homer?
Yikes! Gonna be a long night.

Yet another disappointment. Not only is there no baby, but it doesn't smell very good, either. At least if something is stinky it should be an adorable baby with a messy diaper. Not something your husband wants you to make for dinner. Still...I can't help but think that the cabbage would surely sleep better than a newborn. And be far less maintenance. It may not be edible, but it could fill that emptiness in our family, right? I could learn to love it, right?
Ah well. Guess it's back to the old fashioned method. If you'll pardon me, I've got to get my binoculars. Storks aren't easy to find.

Oh, these puppies are so cute!! I don't know how they got inside that bowl or how they're going to get out, but I love imagining what they are saying to each other while they're all stuck in there.
I think the puppy on the left is saying "Don't be rude! Cover your mouth when you yawn!"

CEO Education, CEO Turnover, and Firm Performance
Sanjai Bhagat
University of Colorado at Boulder - Department of Finance
Brian J. Bolton
Portland State University - School of Business Administration

Georgia State University
August 3, 2010
This paper analyzes the relationship between CEO education, CEO turnover and firm performance. Our primary interest is on the role that CEO education plays in a firm's decision to replace its current CEO, the role that it plays in selecting a new CEO, and on whether CEO education significantly affects performance. We use six main measures of CEO education: whether or not the CEO attended a Top-20 undergraduate school, whether or not the CEO has an MBA, law or masters" degree, and whether or not the MBA or law degree is from a Top-20 program. Our study includes more than 14,500 CEO-years and more than 2,600 cases of CEO turnover from 1993-2007.
Our results show that CEO education does not play a large role in the decision by a firm to replace its current CEO; poorly performing CEOs are replaced, regardless of their education. Education, however, does play a significant role in the selection of the replacement CEO; there is a significantly positive correlation between the education levels of new CEOs and those of the CEOs they replace. Further, hiring new CEOs with MBA degrees leads to short-term improvements in operating performance. We, however, do not find a significant systematic relationship between CEO education and long-term firm performance. CEO education does not seem to be an appropriate proxy for CEO ability. Our results lead to the puzzling implication that, while CEO education appears to play an important role in the hiring of CEOs, it does not affect the long-term performance of firms.

Virgin Australia Update on Christchurch Services23/12/2011
Virgin Australia can advise that the Christchurch airport has re-opened following two earthquakes in the area on 23 December 2011 and flight operations are continuing as planned.
There have been minimal impacts on Virgin Australia services to and from the city of Christchurch today.
Virgin Australia Group Executive Operations, Sean Donohue, said: "I can confirm that we had no aircraft on the ground in Christchurch at the time of the earthquakes. One Virgin Australia flight en route from Melbourne (DJ60) diverted to Wellington but is now continuing on to Christchurch."
As a result of the delayed arrival, an outbound Christchurch to Brisbane flight this evening (DJ83) will be delayed approximately 3 hours and a return flight from Brisbane to Christchurch (DJ82) will be delayed approximately 2.5 hours," he said.
Mr Donohue said that Guests holding reservations for travel today and tomorrow are encouraged to go to the Virgin Australia website www.virginaustralia.com for updates and information regarding our flexible travel policies.
"Our focus at this time is ensuring the safety and welfare of our team members. Our thoughts are with the people of Christchurch," Mr. Donohue said.

Dave Eggers' Story
My family and I entered the huge and complex world of transplantation in January 1989 when the physicians at an Air Force hospital told my wife and me that what they first thought was a deadly cancer in my liver really was a disease that adversely affects the bile ducts called Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC).
We were elated with the news until Byers Shaw, MD, and his team at the Nebraska Medical Center told us that without a liver transplant I would most certainly die.
"Die?" I said. "How could that be?" I obviously knew very little about transplantation, so in my ignorance and motivation to keep current as a B-1B, B-52 and potential B-2 instructor pilot in the Air Force, I said, "Fine, then get me a new liver and I should be good to go, right?" Not hardly. Dr. Shaw explained to us all the varied aspects of transplantation, like how people get placed on the waiting list, receive a new liver if they're lucky and about the post-operative challenges my family and I would face.Read More Back to Top
Heather Tillotson's Story
At the age of four I was diagnosed with Type I Diabetes, which meant lifestyle changes that affected not only me but my entire family. Injections, a strict diet and timely meals were just a few of the changes that would become a way of life for all of us. Being selected the 1986-87 Poster Child for the American Diabetes Association was an honor. Despite diabetes, I led a near-normal life growing up - thriving in school, taking part in sports and extracurricular activities, graduating from college with a degree in elementary education and a coaching endorsement, landing my dream job and marrying a wonderful, supportive man.
Eventually, I began experiencing problems often associated with diabetes - laser surgery on my eyes, neuropathy in my feet, gastroparesis, coronary artery disease and kidney failure. Doctors' visits and sick days became more frequent. Words cannot describe how I felt when informed of my declining kidney function and the possibility of dialysis. How could I teach and be on dialysis? Options were discussed and, at the suggestion of my physician, an appointment was made at The University of Nebraska Medical Center to be evaluated for placement on the National Registry for Organ Transplant.Read More Back to Top
Logan Thomas' Story
Logan Thomas did not have a normal start to life. However, looking at the vibrant three-year-old today, you would never know of her early struggles. After birth, Logan was diagnosed with Hirschprung's disease. Hirschsprung's affects the nerve cells in the large intestine and causes the bowel to work improperly. The disease occurs in only one out of 5,000 births.
"I knew something was immediately wrong," said Rebecca Thomas, Logan's mother. "Logan would not eat well and was also throwing up bile."
Logan spent her first two years of life in and out of a hospital in Florida. She had many tests and surgeries to correct her diseased bowel. Her condition also required that she be fed 24/7 via a gastrostomy tube and a second central line for Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN).Read More Back to Top
Ruth Gerdes' Story
Possibilities are more than hope. They led me to help, healing and healthy living.
It is possible to a find a primary care physician who will diagnose a carcinoid cancer patient in 10 days. Ninety percent of all carcinoid patients go years with the wrong diagnosis.
It is possible for a primary care physician to challenge a radiologist on a computed tomography (CT) scan, even though it had been read as clear the week before. Without this re-examination, it is likely that the patient would not have been a candidate for revolutionary surgery.
It is possible for a primary care physician to do hours of research in conjunction with a patient so together they can determine the best treatment option for the patient.Read More Back to Top
Fred Bishop's Story
I had a kidney transplant in November 1994. Eight years earlier, at the height of health in my life, I was diagnosed with a renal problem that was supposed to take 20 years or so to deteriorate to the point of transplant. In September 1994, my renal function was around 8 percent. At that point, I was a deputy sheriff with a wife and two children.
The staff at Nebraska Medicine did an excellent job laying out my options. My wife and I decided on transplant. We informed our families about our decision and left my medical records open to them. One family member stepped up immediately and researched the problem, along with the possibility of being a donor. Less than two months went by. We were matched and decided on the first available date for surgery. It happened to be Nov. 9, the day between my mother's and father's birthdays. Now they send me a card on that day, my re-birthday. Two lives were saved that day, mine and my father's. You see when he underwent pre-surgery testing, they found an aneurysm on his renal artery. During the transplant, doctors were able to harvest his kidney and take care of the aneurysm. Along with two lives being saved, a third was created. My new kidney cleaned up my system so well that we were finally, after eight years of trying, able to conceive our third child.Read More Back to Top
Kim Lombardi's Story
Kim Lombardi shouldn't be alive to read this. Doctors told him many times there was no hope. If his failing heart didn't kill him, the aneurysm ballooning from his ascending aorta would soon burst and that, certainly, would put him in a grave.
Lombardi didn't listen. Like a soldier who faced impossible odds but still had one bullet left in his pistol, he refused to surrender.
On Aug.18, 2006, Lombardi underwent a heart transplant at Nebraska Medicine. Today, he has his life back and loves to tell his story of faith and perseverance.
"Is my life different? Sure it is," he said. "I'm a diabetic induced by the medication, but after what I've been through, I can deal with that. I've got a new heart. I feel like I'm 30 years old."
Lombardi suffered his first heart attack in 1994. He had been laid off after 18 years at his job. His first marriage was coming to an end. Then, his 16-year-old son was killed in an auto accident. He smoked. He didn't exercise. He ate all the wrong foods. He slept three or four hours a night.Read More Back to Top
Nolan Miller's Story
All babies spit up.
That's what Nolan Miller's parents thought after they brought him home Sept. 20, 2003, two days after he was born. But Nolan wasn't just spitting up a little milk. Nolan was vomiting. Constantly. Then he stopped having bowel movements.
"He took a bottle and it all came right back up," said Nolan's father, Matthew. "Then it kept coming."
A systems engineer for Methodist Hospital, Matthew telephoned a local hospital. The service's on-call pediatrician advised that he and his wife, Amy, take Nolan to the emergency room. Still vomiting after they arrived, Nolan was kept in the emergency room while physicians conducted a series of tests.
"That was one of the longest nights in our lives," Matthew said.
Nolan was admitted and the battery of tests continued, yet still no cause was found. Various diagnoses were considered but none was a clear-cut answer. Nolan was placed in full isolation at the hospital's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Two days and more tests passed and still no answer.Read More Back to Top

text: This has become an issue in the last couple of years in mushing - and only because the media has pushed for it (because a certain four time iditarod champ tokes up regularly). They've tested the dogs for years (they tie a ziplock bag to their parts to get the urine... it's so weird looking) but now they're also testing the mushers for certain drugs (recreational and performance enhancing) but I don't think their list of no no drugs is as long as olympic athletes. One of the mushers got busted this year, he wasn't top 20, but it definitely saw a lot of upset fans... I mean how stupid do you have to be?!

Lonely Hearts Pet Adoption
The shelter animals need our help. Each of Animal Welfare pets deserves a loving home to spend the rest of their lives. When you adopt a dog or cat, you are offering a new life to a grateful pet and helping us make room to take in another pet in need.
About 300 of them have been in our shelters for 30 days or longer. In order to help unite these pets with their forever families, Animal Welfare is reducing the adoption fee on these long term pets.
The Lonely Hearts Pet Adoption event, scheduled for Saturday, September 28, will offer 50 percent off for any pet one year or older who has been at the shelter 30 days or longer. Each adoption will include spay or neuter, all vaccinations required by law, and a microchip.
When: Saturday, September 28
Where: Westside Shelter: 11800 Sunset Gardens Rd. SW – 10:30 a.m. – 6 p.m.
Eastside Shelter: 8920 Lomas Blvd. NE – 10:30 a.m. – 6 p.m.
Lucky Paws: 6600 Menaul NE - 11:30 a.m. – 7:30 p.m.

Rochester nanomaterials company NaturalNano Inc. said it will receive $825,000 in new funding.
The funds are expected to expand and upgrade the manufacturing capacity at General Super Plating facility in Syracuse, which NaturalNano agreed to acquire last week for stock.
"With the signing of the purchase agreement to acquire General Super Plating completed, (NaturalNano) will be making a further investment in the GSP infrastructure to install additional manufacturing capacity for new products which are scheduled to begin later in the year," said Jim Wemett, CEO of NaturalNano in a statement. "The additional capacity is expected to grow the GSP sales revenue substantially over the current $12 million achieved in 2013."
Wemett said General Super Plating's product lines are important components for players in the automotive, personal care and home appliance industry. That company produces plated items for products marketed by five of the top seven car manufacturers, Procter & Gamble and Whirlpool, he said.
The financing is provided by current lenders, officials said, and the acquisition of General Super Plating is expected to close in the near future.

By JAYCEEN CRAVEN WALKERCoalvilleGovernment Relations/Pathway Associates Board member Utah Cultural Alliance, Utah Museums Associ
I wanted to take the time and say I greatly appreciate both Representative Brad King and Senator Mike Dmitrich for all their hard work during this past year and all their service in the Utah State Legislature.
As a former Carbon County resident and government relations advocate for 18 years I have watched them strive for the better good and provide programs for their constituents.
They have been instrumental in providing leadership and funding to bring programs to their district that otherwise would not have been able to travel to your counties and the far-flung reaches of the state.
Both of these gentlemen have been very open and frank in our discussions and helpful in every way possible.
I am sad to learn that Mike will not be running for re-election and wish him a very happy retirement. The fact that he will no longer be in the Senate is a huge loss for the legislature.
With that being said, I am thrilled to see that Brad is running for Mike's seat.
Again I appreciate Mike and Brad for all your help, advice and service on behalf of the citizens of Carbon and Emery County.

Southern Utah parents and students grades 9 – 12 are encouraged to attend and take advantage of scholarship opportunities and other resources. UHEAA's stop in Cedar City is one of 17 such events to be held across the state to assist Utah's college-bound contingency in their preparations for collegiate success.
Of the annual public information tour, past participants have said: "I learned about FAFSA and how everyone should apply for it. I learned about work study and how you can use it to help pay for college. There are several different [types of] loans. I feel that I am walking away from this presentation more confident with student loans and how I should go about searching for scholarships."
The Cedar City presentation will be held at Cedar High School, 703 West 600 South, from 6 – 8 p.m. on September 12. Additional information is available online at www.facebook.com/uheaa/events. Questions should be directed to UHEAA Outreach at firstname.lastname@example.com.

A new business opens in Huntington. The Emery County Business Chamber helped welcome Sitterud Insurance Solutions to the Emery County business scene. Ben Lindley is operating the Huntington office and the business has an office in American Fork. Jesse Sitterud, from Ferron along with his cousin David Sitterud started the business about a year ago in Lehi and have now moved their office to American Fork. The trio decided a business opportunity existed to bring the services they offer to Emery County, so Lindley jumped at the chance to return to a small town. His wife, Jessica Humphrey, grew up in Orangeville and was excited to return home, too.
Lindley said that's where they are at now, the new office in Huntington opened on Sept. 1. He's been commuting, but will soon move the family down to Orangeville. Hopefully they will be settled in Orangeville before Christmas. Ben and Jessica have three children, a 6 year old girl and 4 year old twins, a boy and a girl. He said, "I met Jessica while we were attending school in Cedar City. I went to the Philippines on my mission. I met a lot of Emery County people while attending SUU. Jessica got a teaching job in Riverton and we moved to Lehi. I graduated from Utah Valley University with a degree in psychology. I was a project manager at Alpine fireplaces for eight years."
Lindley said their background in finance and insurance began at Cambridge Financial. "Jesse, David and I worked at Cambridge Financial and Jay Sitterud, a former Orangeville boy himself, trained us in financial planning. Jesse and David decided to branch out on their own and started Sitterud Insurance Solutions. They toyed with the idea of an Emery County office for a few months and now here I am. We were excited about the opportunities an office down here would present for the residents here. You can get all the benefits without having to go up north.
"We offer two types of services here, protection of people's assets including, home, auto and business. We offer business insurance, which some other businesses do not. We have the ability to cover large companies and industry. We are very competitive. The other aspect of our business is financial and estate planning. We help with life insurance, annuities, IRAs, etc. We can help you with a stock market portfolio. We offer protection, value and service. We offer everything and you can get the service you deserve right here without leaving the county.
"Financial planning is a value type service. We help people to understand estate and retirement planning. We help with the stock market. We help with investments and helping people to diversify. Many people lost a lot of money in the downturn in the stockmarket. With diversification, those types of devastating losses are protected against. We can help people realize more money for their investments. Some people are paying too many taxes. We can help with that too, putting investments in plans that aren't taxed as highly. We can help to make the transition from working to retirement as pain free as possible. It's probably the biggest deal you will go through when you retire, the biggest change. We can help reduce the tax burdens.
"We can help and we are very good at it. Estate planning is a case by case basis, there is no one size fits all when it comes to estate planning and retirement. With auto and home insurance, it's pretty straight forward and you want to pay the least for the best coverage. But, estate planning is very individual and specialized.
" We want to help retirees have more money on hand. We really think we can't be beat for our expertise. All three of us combined have 25 years financial planning experience. We don't each know everything, but working together we have a pretty good shot to do the best job for you. We like to find solutions and we have a creative approach. I am fully confident we can help anyone become more financially secure.
"We have been busy contacting business owners in the area. We want your business. We can handle the size of your company. No company is too big or too small, we can help. We can handle large employers and help take care of everyone. We can save money for those couples just getting started and for our older clients. We also have an attorney Oliver and Sitterud that will help with wills.
"We can completely take you through the estate planning process. You should be meeting with your financial planner on a regular basis, if you're not something's wrong. Your needs will change over the years, you need to make sure your estate keeps up.
"We can offer you everything here that a big firm offers up north and you won't have to travel.
"On 90 percent of the quotes, we've been doing we can save people money. We are independent agents and we do business with several of the big carriers. We can help people who don't have insurance now to get started. We like to get the best deals for people. We have farm insurance. I tell people what's the worst that can happen by having us look over their policies, It's nothing, nothing could change, or we could offer them a better value. It's like getting a second opinion. The best thing would be that we could add value to your situation. Or you could spend the same, and get more services.
"There are many aspects to life insurance, we can offer policies that can double and triple the death benefit. You need to have enough life insurance to take care of your family if you're not here to do it. You might have enough life insurance to pay off the house, but what is your family going to live on? We can maximize the money going into your bank account. We can help with when is the best time for drawing your social security.
"During our 60s we will really make important decisions and we have to live with those decisions into our 70s and 80s. We can tackle these tough issues for folks. Remember, things are always changing. The life insurance you had 20 years ago may not work for you today. When is the last time you sat down and discussed financial goals for yourself and your family. We can help people out. We can offer security and peace of mind, that some of these things will be taken care of. The loss of a loved one is a difficult time, but we can help you feel confident that your financial affairs are in order.
"The reason we have opened this Emery County office is to bring these services to you. We want to be accessible for people to come in and talk to us. Unexpected events come up in your life, you should keep your financial plan up to date.
"We want to be around family, so this is a good move for us. We want to live and raise our kids in a small community," said Lindley.
Whitney Behling is the account manager for the business. She recently moved back to Ferron so she could be around family too.
