LEGENDARY PERFORMERS: still touring after all these years
Barry Manilow last week in Las Vegas, at 75, singing, playing, engaging with
the audience. He returned to Broadway in 2019, to critical acclaim
and will encore his popular Las Vegas Westgate show later in 2021.
TOP TIER, VERY BEST
ICONIC STARS STILL DRESS THE STAGE, TOUR, CONNECT WITH THEIR AUDIENCE EVEN INTO THEIR DOTAGE
IN THE LAST few years, we've seen a host of aging entertainers in live performance venues. Each one was satisfying. All received standing ovations. In 2020, we joined a packed house at the Westgate in Las Vegas to watch Broadway bound Barry Manilow. Sprightly and now 77, he endeared himself with a generous 95-minute show, playing his own tunes and a

Chopin prelude that inspired one of his hits. Bette Midler at 75 proves herself still "Divine." She gave three encore numbers, donned a mermaid costume and displayed her usual sexy chutzpah when we saw her at Caesar's a couple years ago. Mick Jagger, 77, couldn't quiet the crowd for the whistles and cheers at his desert concert in 2018. Cher, 74, rocked the Vegas house both times we saw her -- oozing charm with two dozen costume changes. She's planning a 2021 tour.
TONY BENNETT headlined with Lady Gaga in a world tour at 90 and despite Alzheimer's, plans a 2021 concert tour.r Gordon Lightfoot at 82, Willie Nelson at 87, earn consistent ovations. Soon to turn 92, Bob Newhart's one-man comedy show charmed at Harrah's Rincon. Rich Little, 82, delighted us at the Laugh Factory in Vegas. Paul McCartney turns 79 in June of 2021 -- still composing and occasionally taking the stage.
Elton John, a kid at 73, is still touring, although tapering back on his energetic Las Vegas shows. We're EJ groupies -- four times at Caesar's.
Jazz pianist Marian McPartland was in her late 70s when she

WHY DO THESE aging stars continue to perform? Because they like it and we like them. They draw huge crowds, perform with enthusiasm, connect as they entertain. We've grown older with them, so it's charming to see them age gracefully, bowing to standing "Os."
When we were coming of age, in the early days of rock and folk music, our parents were listening to Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and the amazing Tony Bennett, whose popularity spans decades and generations. Rock and folk music were unifying cultural forces. Now those rockers and folk artists are growing older. But they still rock out, perhaps with a little more delicacy.
Willie Nelson is still a crowd-pleaser. We see him at Humphrey's Concerts by the Bay here in San Diego, and 25 years after I interviewed him in Montana. With his signature red bandana, his throaty but tender style and self-deprecating wit, he's a joy to behold and still has the chops. At 86, Nelson's voice is weakening, but, he still picks a mean guitar and is sharp as ever.

that took him to Big Sky, Montana. He is

something" when we saw Angela

"Spirit" when she was 91. She is 93.
Tony Bennett plans a summer 2021 tour despite Alzheimer's.
Who knows if he'll tour again, but he has a new record out.
I LOVE seeing performers I grew up with, ones my parents and even grandparents loved. I had the good fortune to see Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Nat King Cole, Marian McPartland, Barbara Cook, Rosemary Clooney, Alberta Hunter and other greats. Seeing the marvelous Bobby Short twice at the Carlyle in New York was a highlight. He was in his mid-70s, still brilliant. The king of longevity is Bennett, who turns 95 in August and is just out with a new album. We've seen him five times (three times with Lady Gaga, twice solo). Magnificent. Ringo turns 80 in 2021. Johnny Mathis will be 85. Angela Lansbury was 62 when I saw the actress-singer take the Tony for her Mrs. Lovett role in "Sweeney Todd"; 30 years later, we saw her in "Blithe Spirit" in Los Angeles. Other legendary stars: Julie Andrews, Dick Van Dyke, Mel Brooks.... Leonard Cohen toured until a year before his death in 2016. McPartland did her wonderful "Piano Jazz" National Public Radio show into her 90s and was 95 when she passed in 2013. be 95.
NEIL YOUNG, a mere 70, is still recording and performing. Bob Dylan, elusive at 78, continues to keeps a low profile as we know from his rejection of the Nobel Prize.
Leonard Cohen at 77 was still touring, but ill health forced
tapering back, to mostly recording. He died at 82 in 2016.
I last saw Billy Joel when he was 66. At 70 now, he's still a kid. Rumors of another tour are out. It's not the money. Most are financially secure and could quietly disappear into a life of golf, travel, reading or lazing about. But they thrive on performance; they need the connection.
THIS WAS obvious when we saw Manilow last week in his fabulous show. He did his hits, dressed the crowd, shook hands. Grace. That's what these veterans share. Bravo, brava. May it continue thus.
UP NEXT: Montana is calling -- and we answer! Come with us to Big Sky Country, where the deer and the antelope play. We'll take a few sidetrips to Red Lodge, Livingston, Cody, Wyoming, and more, and share some of our favorite photos of real cowboys and the true wild west.

Pearl Harbor Memorial takes on special Memorial Day meaning
Millions honor the fallen on all sides at the USS Arizona Memorial, where the valor and sacrifice of WWII is remembered.
MILLIONS PAY RESPECT TO ARIZONA AND CRUCIAL 1941 ATTACK WHICH CHANGED COURSE OF HISTORY
Photographer Bruce Keller puts down his photo
equipment for a perch aboard a torpedo.
A VISIT TO the Pearl Harbor National Memorial in Honolulu is a must for anyone interested in history, culture and the complex results of war: death, violence, disruption, prejudice, fear, determination, recovery.
We chose a half-day tour with Roberts Hawaii, and were met by the company's trademark green bus and a jovial driver-guide who calls himself Cousin Dave.
He picked us up at the historic Ilikai Hotel, an easy half-block from our digs at Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort. We drove the eight miles in less than 20 minutes to the resting place of the sunken USS Arizona. There, at Pearl Harbor, 1,102 of the 1,177 sailors and Marines killed on Arizona are honored in their graves within the sunken ship. They were among the casualties when the Japanese engineered a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941, "a date that will live in infamy," as FDR said.
A young Japanese man studies the sad story of the
internment of thousands of innocent Japanese Americans.
THE MOOD was quiet and respectful as we joined an international queue with fellow tour members, including a Japanese couple our age from Tokyo. It was interesting to travel with them, and glean their take on the memorial. For while the U.S. suffered grievous losses, Japan suffered destruction of two cities and Americans of Japanese descent suffered loss and humiliation in the internment camps. One is in Wyoming, not far from where I grew up in south-central Montana.
Docents with expertise in history give insightful
commentary as Navy sailors pilot us to the Arizona grave.
After checking our bags and backpack, we entered the nicely designed complex, which includes spacious walkways, museum buildings, artifacts, sculpture, a theater and visitor center. Besides the interesting boat ride to view the Arizona Memorial, the USS Bowfin Submarine Museum and Park is part of the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center. The Bowfin, a fleet attack submarine, fought in the Pacific during WWII and helped to make famous the term, "Silent Service." Bowfin was launched on Dec. 7, 1942, exactly one year to the day after the attack on Pearl Harbor.
One strolls the grounds past well marked torpedos, missiles and other instruments of war, with fair-minded commentary and attention to suffering on both sides of the story.
WE ALL KNOW THAT the attack was a pivotal moment in U.S. history, which propelled the U.S. into World War II with the backing of Congress and support of the American people.
The Bowfin may be visited on the museum grounds.
The monument also preserves and interprets the story of the internment of Japanese Americans, the battles in the Aleutians and the war's ending with the dropping of the bomb on two Japanese cities. There are other nearby attractions. Both the battleship U.S.S. Missouri Memorial, on whose decks the war ended, and Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum are on nearby Ford Island. a quick bus ride away.
A sculpture to peace makes a stunning backdrop for photos.
The Missouri side trip interests many because the Japanese surrendered on board the Missouri in Tokyo Bay on Sept. 2, 1945, early on a Sunday morning, the same day of the week on which Pearl Harbor was bombed. The Aviation Museum hosts a aviation exhibits directly relating to the attack.
On our boat trip to the Arizona, our elderly historian guide told us that three survivors of Pearl Harbor remain, all in their late 90s. They have been honored at the Arizona Memorial and have visited the 45,000-ton Missouri to pay their respects.
IT IS NOT possible to go on board the Arizona at the moment, because of structural concerns. Repairs are scheduled to be completed by early next year. But our ship circled the memorial slowly so all 120 of us had ample time for photos and reflection.
We were pleased to see so many students and people from all over the world at the memorial, quietly honoring those who gave their lives and the thousands more who suffered. Perhaps we are learning not to repeat the horrors.
The Navy owns the land and the memorial is run by the National Park Service.
Singer Willie Nelson is aging with grace and still
on tour. His guitar prowess is still sharp.
UP NEXT: Willie Nelson remains an engaging, entertaining performer, well into his 70s. This week, we took in a concert by the energetic singer-songwriter. The Humphreys Concert By the Bay in San Diego is one of two dozen on Nelson's current tour which began on the west coast, crosses the country and ends in Ohio. We take a look back at Nelson's career, his impressive endurance and his newest recording, out soon. Meanwhile, remember to explore, learn and live and catch us Fridays for a novel look at travel, the arts, nature, family and more.

John Wayne's Newport Beach yacht celebrates The Duke's legacy
The Wild Goose had a well traveled past when actor John Wayne bought it and made it his traveling hotel. Now, Hornblower Cruises invites the public to enjoy Wayne's yacht for a limited time through birthday dinner cruises with a gourmet meal, theee hours of sailing and full access to the private quarters of the vessel.
HORNBLOWER STAGES BIRTHDAY DINNER PARTIES IN JOHN WAYNE'S HONOR AND YOU'RE INVITED
John Wayne's card room and den have been preserved by Hornblower.
STEP ABOARD a luxury yacht, surrounded by John Wayne's movie memorabilia and personal effects from his film career and seafaring days. Hornblower Cruises offers a unique experience to commune with the spirit of actor John Wayne aboard the boat he captained.
While the star died in 1979, his spirit lives on aboard the Wild Goose, the yacht he bought, pampered and entertained on for 17 years. Wayne said she was his
John Wayne aboard the Wild Goose. He loved
to navigate, and
proudest possession. He loved taking her to British Columbia and Mexico's coastal towns. He'd play cards, read and fish in stylish comfort, surrounded by magnificent woodwork, resting in his artful master bedroom and keeping an eye on his kids, whose bedroom was just down the hall.
MARION MORRISON was born May 26, 1907. Known professionally as John Wayne, and nicknamed "Duke," he passed away on June 11, 1979. Besides being a much loved American actor and filmmaker, he was a Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient. He was also an accomplished seaman and spent his last days on his luxury yacht, a converted mine sweeper which saw service in World War II. After she was decommissioned, she was purchased by a private owner who a few years later sold her to Wayne.
For nearly 18 years, between movie shoots, the actor piloted the former Naval ship. Because he was 6'4," he raised the ceilings in an elaborate remodeling project. He took his family and close friends to Alaska, British Columbia, Mexico and Catalina. When he filmed his last picture,
Wayne piloted the Wild Goose through Newport's colorful
harbor, making his way to Mexico or British Columbia.
"The Shootist," in 1976, both he and his aging gunfighter screen character were dying of cancer. Wayne spent quiet time resting aboard his beloved "Goose." His last interview -- with Barbara Walters -- was aboard the boat. Among his memorable quotes is one that fits his handling of illness: "Courage is being scared to death but saddling up anyway."
The Wild Goose is available for charter, for private events up to 125 people. She is also open for John Wayne dinner cruises May 24-25, May 31, June 1, 7 and 8. It's lovely to move through the waters Wayne loved to navigate, beverage in hand, imagining former guests -- Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, Rock Hudson, Frank Sinatra, Henry Fonda, Sammy Davis Jr., and other celebrities who shared Wayne's love of the water. Wayne's own custom designed bar is fully stocked and if you'd like Wild Goose momentos, check out the t-shirts, mugs and a lively book written by the ship's former captain, Bert Minshall. "On Board with the Duke." It's a fun read with anecdotes of travels on the ship with Wayne and his family and friends.
Beautiful woodwork and carvings
adorn The Wild Goose.
The master bedroom is kept much as it was during John
Wayne's times aboard, including the nautical painting.
Besides the status of a National Register of Historic Places listing, the boat has the cache of having served as a playground and relaxing hideway for a legendary star. Having access to the entire vessel including Wayne's private rooms, enhances the feeling that you're in the company of "The Duke" himself. It's a unique, pleasing time with a fabulous meal expertly prepared and served in several tasty and eye-catching courses.
From left, Cookie, Keller and their
friends Sue and Bob Hulbert, who
grew up around Newport.
Wayne enjoyed nautical paintings, and several of his own
collection are on the boat now. Portraits and posters of
the legendary star were added by Hornblower.
Wayne's family sometimes joins diners and movie buffs aboard Wild Goose. Daughter Marisa Wayne says it's satisfying to see that fans remember and appreciate her dad's movies. "His longevity is amazing. He is still so loved and respected by so many people this many years after his death. I wish he was around to give me advice....or have a drink."
Cost is $103 per person, including a four-course gourmet meal, glass of champagne and the incredible access to the entire yacht. Go to hornblower.com (and select Newport Beach).
Fallen sailors and Marines are forever beneath the waves and the
Arizona Memorial is directly over the sunken ship.
UP NEXT: We remember Pearl Harbor with a visit to the Pearl Harbor National Memorial in Honolulu. We toured the impressive complex and came away moved. The memorial complex pays careful attention to present both sides of the story, from the horrors of the 1941 bombing to the internment of Japanese Americans and the bombs that ended the war. Meanwhile, remember to explore, learn and live and catch us Fridays for a novel look at travel, the arts, nature, family and more.

'Godfather' Country: on the trail of the famous movie in Savoca, Italy
The hilly drive to Savoca, Italy, takes you to the town where Francis Ford Coppola shot the film, "The Godfather."
Chiesa di Santa Lucia was the setting for the
famous wedding scene in "The Godfather."
When Francis Ford Coppola filmed "The Godfather" in Savoca,
the scenes were shot looking away from the stunning view.
SLEEPY COASTAL TOWN STOOD IN AS CORLEONE WHEN COPOLLA CHOSE HIS FILM LOCATION
YOU WILL be an honorary Sicilian, ready for a glass of red wine, to toast the Corleone legacy upon your arrival in "Godfather Country." The hike up the hill to the setting for the famous movie is not for sissies. But the sleepy village of Savoca is worth the journey, though. past fragrant citrus orchards and healthy fields of cactus climbing up the hillsides from the sea below.
Though little known to Americans, Savoca has much to offer.
Located near the prosperous coastal resort town of Taormina whose train station was used in "Godfather III," Savoca was chosen by director Francis Ford Coppola as a stand-in for the real village of Corleone in his 1972 movie. He chose Savoca because it was relatively untouched by progress, had fewer issues than Corleone with mafia and would be easier to maneuver in because of its uncrowded atmosphere.
LOCALS THEN and now are tough and hard working. For centuries, they've made a living by farming on neatly designed terraces overlooking the sea. We found them friendly and happy to talk about their pastoral life, growing citrus trees and cactus. Farm wives make their own limoncello which they sell in little corner stands much like the lemonade stands we had as children.So the area is a perfect backdrop for the story of a Sicilian family who migrated to the U.S. and made it good, mafia style.
Our journey took us back in time to this lovely corner of Italy, perched above the Ionian Sea.
"The Godfather" has brought a certain prosperity
and minor fame to Savoca, with souvenirs aplenty.
Here life goes on in a typically Sicilian way – leisurely, never too fast. Savoca, unlike inland Corleone, looks to the sea from its lofty perch. It is a pretty little village which thanks to the movie, now makes much of its living through tourism.
WE MADE our way in a small touring bus up sun-blasted hillsides, admiring the occasional old stone farmhouse and stopping for photos of a scattering of contented goats. Once in the village, we climbed up the sloped and curving streets.
Bar Vitelli, near the town's entrance, is where Michael Corleone meets
his future wife, Apollonia. A hike up the hill is the Church of
San Nicolo, where their wedding would take place.
Like "The Godfather" characters, locals and
visitors alike enjoy a glass or two of vino rosso.
We'd signed up for the tour because I was sentimental about a long-ago trip to Savoca when I was an invited member of the press corps of film reviewers. We interviewed director Coppola and members of the cast of "The Godfather" then spent a few days in the beautiful area. So it was fun to revisit the locations of the legendary movie shot as Coppola was rediscovering his own Italian roots. His heritage lured him back to the area. After scouting the southern part of the country, he decided on Savoca for the scenes set in Corleone. Most involve the young Michael Corleone, played by Al Pacino. Coppola loved Bar Vitelli, scene of the meeting between Michael Corleone and his future wife's father, who owns the cafe. Bar Vitelli is still in business. We sipped a beverage there before continuing on to the Church of San Nicolò, where the wedding between Michael and Apollonia was officiated.
BEYOND THE cinematic attractions of Savoca, we admired buildings of medieval and Renaissance origins, as well as Baroque architecture to contrast with rural buildings from the early 20th century. Among intriguing relics are the ruins of the Castle of Pentefur, once belonging to the founders of Savoca; the Church of Santa Maria in Cielo Assunta and its crypt, complete with mummies, and remains of ancient walls and town gate dating to the 18th century. A more recent attraction at the entrance to the village features ceramic panels in bas-relief placed by Messina artists Salvatore and Giuseppe Zona in 1989 to recount the history, art and traditions of the area. A fun meander, best done with a glass or two of local vino.
Wild Goose was John Wayne's beloved yacht which he sailed to Vancouver
and south to Mexico, from its southern California base. Passengers may step
aboard the vessel and enjoy artifacts, posters and photos of "The Duke's" life.
UP NEXT: Legendary California resident, actor John Wayne loved the sea, and his proudest possession was a wonderful yacht, the Wild Goose, which he sailed far and near from its Newport Beach base. His beloved boat was acquired by Hornblower Cruises, and passengers may enjoy a remarkable opportunity to spend a few hours aboard the "Goose" with a gourmet dinner, access to treasured memorabilia, and chance to roam the vessel. Remember to explore, learn and live and catch us Fridays.

Remembering: Poet's Garden honors legacy of a fine teacher

POET ALLEN GINSBERG HEADLINED GARDEN DEDICATION TO HONOR HIS ONE-TIME STUDENT
PHOTOS ASSEMBLED, DIGITIZED
By BRUCE KELLER
ON A BALMY spring day in May of 1993, poet Allen Ginsberg helped celebrate the life and legacy of Bruce Kemp Meyers.
The famous beat poet paid homage to the popular actor and teacher who once took a workshop from him and taught his poetry for a quarter-century. It was a day I'll never forget, full of talent, emotion and love.
When my husband, Bruce Meyers, died suddenly of an aneurysm in February of 1992, I vowed to honor his life and contributions to culture and education in some unusual way.
WE WERE in Las Vegas on President's Day weekend, about to interview and photograph Frank Sinatra when he developed chest pains. He died in Las Vegas at Desert Springs

acted in several theatrical productions.
Hospital on Flamingo Road, not far from where we were staying at our favorite Sands Hotel (imploded to make way for the Venetian.)
As therapy, for 15 months after Bruce's death, I designed the Bruce Meyers Poets' Garden on the campus of Montana State University-Billings. Bruce taught creative writing and English there for 25 years, after receiving his MFA at Kent State University and "going West, young man."
Architect Ted Wirth, left, and then college president
Bruce Carpenter confer as the Poets' Garden took shape.
WE MET IN 1967, the same year he began his teaching career, at a dinner party hosted by his colleague and my friend Sue Hart, now also sadly gone. Sue knew we were both musical and enjoyed acting and theater. She hoped we might hit it off. She was right. Our 25 years together included global travel and hundreds of plays. Together we acted and performed in more than Billings 50 productions, from "Cabaret" to "Our Town," "Man of La Mancha," "Play It Again, Sam" "Promises, Promises," "I Do! I Do!," "Annie," "The Pirates of Penzance" and many others at Billings Studio Theatre, der Schwartzwald Dinner Theatre and the old Fox, now the Alberta Bair Theater.
Our endeavors helped raise the $6 million to save that building.
Poet Allen Ginsberg with, from left, sisters Christene Meyers,
Robbie Cosgriffe Townsley and Misha Kelly Minesinger.
My musical family and our large circle of theater and arts-loving friends adored Bruce, so I had no trouble assembling a stellar cast 15 months after Bruce's death to christen the garden. I designed it with the help of celebrated architect Ted Wirth, in consultation with Bruce Carpenter, president of the college and a member of the faculty poker club which met monthly, sometimes at our home.
THE GARDEN took shape, with Ted's creative design incorporating both formal and natural elements -- benches, river rocks, aspen trees, the aspen trees my late husband loved. I wanted open areas and places for students and faculty to stroll, sit and ponder. A grassy area would welcome professors and their classes to create art and writing, as Bruce had done with his students in that very spot for many years.
The Cosgriffe clan assembled at Corby Skinner's home
during a reception for poet Allen Ginsberg, who extended
his Billings Writer's Voice stay to be part of the dedication.
I wanted poetry, Bruce's passion when he wasn't acting or teaching. Ted loved my idea of incorporating engravings of several of the poems on marble and granite. Sculptor Lyndon Pomeroy would create a metal sculpture of our beloved airedale, Gandalf. Finally, I wanted a bust of Bruce. I called our mutual friend, now noted Hollywood special effects wizard Andy Schoneberg to do the bronze.
"It was an important way for me to say farewell to Bruce," Schoneberg recalls, explaining how the lifecast he'd made for Bruce was critical to his crafting of the bronze. Schoneberg's lifecast was used by Bruce for 17 performances of the Der Schwartzwald production of "Annie." Bruce played the role of Daddy Warbucks and Schoneberg made a

lifecast to use in crafting a durable latex baldcap for Bruce's character. "I used that cast later to take key measurements to sculpt the MSU-B bust," Schoneberg said in an interview. He is proud that the bust is on the Smithsonian Institution's Art Inventory.

AS THE DEDICATION approached, family and friends made plans to fly in from all over the U.S. A wonderful ensemble of actors, poets, playwrights, singers, dancers and instrumentalists performed for a two-day fete, highlighted by Ginsberg's readings and musical presentations. Writer's Voice Billings liason Corby Skinner recalls, "He wanted to spend a couple days in Montana. We took him to a ranch, and had a wonderful reception at the Castle. When he heard about the Bruce Meyers garden dedication, he immediately wanted to be part of it."
On the "Godfather" trail in Savoca, Italy, are Cookie and Keller, aka Christene Meyers
and Bruce Keller. The town is still relatively quiet, but now relies on tourism
as well as farming for its income. It also honors Coppola in a dramatic sculpture.
UP NEXT: Join us on the trail of "The Godfather," in Savoca, Italy, where the Sicilian towns of Savoca and Forza d'Agro outside of Taormina were used for many of the scenes in Francis Ford Coppola's award winning film. Coppola is remembered fondly by the locals of this still quiet village, which stood in for Corleone, now much too developed to pass for the quiet little "Godfather" town depicted in the film. We'll visit Bar Vitelli and the church Michael was married in. Remember meanwhile to explore, learn and live, and catch us Fridays for a novel look at travel, the arts, family, health and nature.

Blink... It's Faster Than You Think!
Blink® is the lightning fast game where two players race to be the first to play all of their cards. Using sharp eyes and fast hands, players quickly try to match the shape, count, or color on the cards. The first player out of cards wins!
Blink is a real-time game, which there are not so many of. The title refers to what you should not do, if you wish to win the game - it plays that fast! Obviously you should stay away if you suffer from analysis paralysis, but for anyone else, this is a fast and fun game that you should not miss. I use it as an opening game for game night, where it works a great icebreaker.

The query string should be in the format of an SQL WHERE clause. For instance "population > 1000000 and population < 5000000" where population is an attribute in the layer. The query format is normally a restricted form of SQL WHERE clause. In some cases (RDBMS backed drivers) the native capabilities of the database may be used to interpret the WHERE clause in which case the capabilities will be broader than those of OGR SQL.

Tag: UCLA Bruins
L.A. Clippers' bench bonded by Bruins
(L to R) Ryan Hollins, Darren Collison and Matt Barnes are the UCLA Bruins on the L.A. Clippers roster.
The "baby blue" UCLA pipeline to the NBA is a well-traveled one with 15 Bruins currently on NBA rosters entering the upcoming season – the most of any college program.
In fact, UCLA has delivered the most players to the NBA with Shabazz Muhammad (UCLA 2012-'13) being the 83rd Bruin headed to the show this season with the Minnesota Timberwolves where he'll team up with another former Bruin, Kevin Love (UCLA 2007) .
A third of all the currently active Bruin alums in the Association reside, appropriately enough, in Los Angeles.

Bruins win first College World Series Championship, UCLA's 109th National Title
Bruins rush the mound celebrating UCLA's first baseball title, the school's 109th national championship.
NATI HARNIK — AP Photo
With all its National Championships in various sports – 108 of them which is by far the most of any NCAA school – a baseball championship by UCLA's Bruins wasn't part of that impressive national title total.
It is now.
National championship number 109 for UCLA comes via the baseball diamond thanks to the Bruins (49-17) 8-0 win over Mississippi State to sweep the best two out of three title series at the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska.

UCLA Spring Showcase does so for Bruins fans
The annual Blue & White game capped the UCLA Spring Showcase at the Rose Bowl.
The UCLA football team ended its spring workouts at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena this past Saturday at the annual Spring Showcase.
The showcase really didn't accomplish much to propel the Bruins as the odds on favorite to repeat as PAC-12 Southern Division Champions, maybe winning the conference outright and earning a trip to a BCS game.

Ex-Bruin lineman Ogden to be enshrined in Canton this Summer.
UCLA's Jonathan Ogden won the Outland & Morris Trophies as the nation's best lineman in 1995.

During the early to mid-1990s, UCLA was fortunate to have offensive tackle Jonathan Ogden on its football roster.
Coming out of Washington D.C. he chose the Bruins over the University of Florida only because UCLA would allow him to be a part of the track and field team as well as the football team.
Thank goodness Gators don't do much compromising in, or out of, the water.
UCLA freshman Muhammad declares for June NBA Draft.
Here's my recent post on examiner.com.
UCLA freshman Shabazz Muhammad is going pro.
courtesy: AP
Like Kevin Love, Russell Westbrook, Jrue Holiday and Trevor Ariza before him, Shabazz Muhammad joined the "one-hit wonder club" of the UCLA men's basketball team.
As expected, since arriving in Westwood last year as a member of the nation's second-ranked recruiting class, Muhammad, the Pac-12 Co-Freshman of the Year on Tuesday announced he's elected to forego his remaining college eligibility and enter the 2013 NBA Draft.

Howland's Westwood decade wasn't "Wooden statue-esque"
Ben Howland coached Bruins to three Final Fours.
Patience hasn't been a virtue in college basketball, or any college sport for that matter, since cable television and ESPN became part of our lexicon.
UCLA's patience with its men's head basketball coach, Ben Howland, ended this past weekend after ten seasons.

Ex-Bruins show well in second annual NFLPA Collegiate Bowl.
AFC and ex-Bruin running back David Allen (26) was happy with his performance in 2nd annual NFLPA Collegiate Bowl.
Put on by the players' union, the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl isn't just about the game, it's about what the 104 aspiring future pros could be facing at the next level on and off the field.
Vermeil and four Bruin gridders headline second annual NFLPA Collegiate Bowl.
Ex-Bruins coach Dick Vermeil goes for 2nd straight NFLPA Bowl win.
It's college football all-star game season with the first of a handful of games preparing seniors for that "next level" kicking-off Saturday afternoon.
Reality for UCLA Sports, there's always next year. Not in real life.
My Mother, Suzanne, was influential in my love of sports.
Wait 'til next year……
Those are just three of the cliché rallying cries in sports. We've all yelled them at some point in our sports-loving lives.

FDA Approves Terlivaz (terlipressin) for the Treatment of Hepatorenal Syndrome (HRS)
Mallinckrodt plc (OTCMKTS: MNKPF), a global specialty pharmaceutical company, announced the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of Terlivaz (terlipressin) for injection. Terlivaz is the first and only FDA-approved product indicated to improve kidney function in adults with hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) with rapid reduction in kidney function, an acute and life-threatening condition requiring hospitalization.
Please see Limitation of Use and Important Safety Information, including Boxed Warning, below.
Siggi Olafsson, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "The FDA approval of Terlivaz is a significant milestone for Mallinckrodt as it brings an important treatment option to these critically ill patients requiring hospitalization and to U.S. physicians who historically have had limited treatment interventions. We're excited to bring Terlivaz to U.S. patients and physicians and plan to launch the product in the coming weeks. This approval reflects Mallinckrodt's continued commitment to underserved patients and their caregivers through our demonstrated expertise and dedication to developing therapeutics for critical conditions."
Terlipressin is recommended by the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) guidance and the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) guidelines.*, Terlipressin is one of the most studied pharmacological agents in HRS with more than 70 published manuscripts and presented abstracts on clinical data to date. It has been approved outside the U.S. for more than 30 years and is available on five continents for its indications in the countries where it is approved.
The FDA approval was based, in part, on results from the Phase 3 CONFIRM trial, the largest-ever prospective study (n=300) conducted to assess the safety and efficacy of terlipressin in patients with HRS type 1 (HRS-1) in the U.S. and Canada. The CONFIRM trial met its primary endpoint of Verified HRS Reversal, defined as renal function improvement, avoidance of dialysis and short-term survival (p=0.012). To achieve Verified HRS Reversal, patients had to have two consecutive serum creatinine (SCr) values of ≤1.5 mg/dL, at least two hours apart by day 14 or hospital discharge. To be included in the primary efficacy endpoint analysis, patients had to be alive and without intervening renal replacement therapy (e.g., dialysis) at least 10 days after achieving Verified HRS Reversal. Initial results were presented in a late-breaking session at The Liver Meeting® 2019, the annual meeting of AASLD. Results were also published in the New England Journal of Medicine in March of 2021. The CONFIRM trial was completed prior to the updated diagnostic criteria and terminology published in the 2021 AASLD guidance on hepatorenal syndrome.
Steven Romano, M.D., Executive Vice President and Chief Scientific Officer at Mallinckrodt said, "Diagnosing and treating HRS can be challenging, and every minute counts when managing patients who have it. Terlivaz gives U.S. physicians the first FDA-approved option for treating HRS patients with rapid reduction in kidney function1 that may help them improve kidney function and lessen the associated need for renal replacement therapy, such as dialysis."
The most commonly observed adverse reactions in at least 4 percent of patients treated with Terlivaz compared to placebo were abdominal pain reported in 19.5 percent (n=39) of patients (vs. 6.1%; n=6), nausea reported in 16 percent (n=32) of patients (vs. 10.1%; n=10), respiratory failure reported in 15.5 percent (n=31) of patients (vs. 7.1%; n=7) diarrhea reported in 13 percent (n=26) of patients (vs. 7.1%; n=7) and dyspnea reported in 12.5 percent (n=25) of patients (vs. 5.1%; n=5).1

How Jewelry: The Body Transformed Exhibit is highlighting the Public's Interest in Jewelry
Do you consider jewelry art? What kind of jewelry? I think of jewelry as art but only certain kinds I really enjoy viewing. The JAR exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City was an art show to me. It was also the first time I went to the Met. I made the trip again earlier in the month to see Jewelry: The Body Transformed before it ends on Sunday February 24th. It opened in November, a short time for viewing, if you had to travel to see it. Jewelry featured in museums is becoming more common. The Museum of Fine Arts in Boston has their own jewelry focused exhibit that started in November 2018 as well, that exhibit goes into 2020 and I hope to see it soon!
For this post I'll give some highlights from the exhibit, what I thought of it and look at how this might set the trend for many more shows focusing on jewelry.
The exhibit was across 2 rooms with many different eras and styles covered. Below are only a few of the many pieces that have played a part in human culture.
Modern and Ancient Jewelry
Not everything was sparkly the bracelet on the left made in 1995 of Polyester and resin by Peter Chang, bracelet on right is from Thailand made of Bronze around 300 B.C.-200 A.D.
Both are earrings, the pair further back is from the 5th-8th century Peru of sodalite. gold, turquoise and shell; earrings closer are Polynesian, early 19th C made of whale ivory
Jewelry from Other Cultures
Chinese headdress with phoenixes and flowers from Ming Dynasty made of gold, rubies, pearls, cat's-eyes, iron
Really enjoyed seeing this Jewish wedding ring from 17th-19th C made of gold and enamel, from either Eastern Europe or Venice
Indian carved brooch from the Mughal period, setting made later by Cartier
18th & 19th Century Jewelry
Bracelets with portrait miniatures, 1840, New York, gold, watercolor on ivory, on reverse is hair
Dress ornament, Georges Fouquet, 1923, made of jade, onyx, diamonds, enamel, platinum
Brooch with lotuses and pendant moonstones, with gold and enamel by Ferdinand Hauser, 1912-13
Some costume pieces were included my favorite by Yves Saint Laurent, glass, rhinestone, metal from 1983-84
Jeweled Accessories
Ceremonial neck armor, French, 1600, steel and gold
A more modern take on armor by Shaun Leane for Alexander McQueen, 2000
Silk Evening gloves by Elsa Schiaparelli, 1935-40
Jade dagger with sheath, Indian, 19th Century
Jewelry of Business
One of my favorite sections was themed Jewelry of Business and included Tiffany & Co, Marcus & Co., Lalique, Cellini, to name a few. These were successful businesses and many are still around. I did feel something was missing from the exhibit.
Rene Lalique, 1897-99, gold, enamel, amethysts,opals
What did I see missing from Jewelry: The Body Transformed?
One designer missing was my favorite, Faberge. I did not see anything of his work in the exhibit. He should have had items in the Business of Jewelry. The Met has a display of his work so after I was done looking at Jewelry: The Body Transformed, I found my Faberge section. See a photo of some of the Imperial Eggs below.
Faberge Eggs
The Future Exhibits
If Faberge had been included I would say this was a near perfect exhibit. I think that maybe the Met should look into creating a larger exhibit dedicated to the Russian goldsmith. For the future of exhibits I see more jewelry exhibits. Hillwood just finished their Faberge exhibit and I mentioned about the MFA current exhibit. I think that the interest is there museums and curators need to look at the business and workmanship angle to better educate the public on the artistry and craft of jewelry.
Thank you for reading and visit the exhibit at the Met if you are in the area. Please leave me a comment if you went or what pieces you liked from my post. Looking forward to posting more on Data in the Rough!

Piccolo Autopilot used in Historic Event
We at Cloud Cap Technology are excited to circulate the article below. The New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) has conducted the first unmanned flight in National Airspace over the Atlantic Ocean; our Piccolo II Autopilot was used as the Flight Management System on the RS-16 aircraft.
"We are thrilled with their success and honored to be a part of this historic occasion, "says Greg Davis, Business Development Director at Cloud Cap Technology. "We are proud of our 20 year heritage of providing flight management systems designed with mission-centricity in mind. This is a second historic Atlantic ocean event for us, as our autopilot was used in the first ever crossing of the Atlantic Ocean by a small UAV in August 1998, on the Aerosonde."
NJIT Conducts Historic Unmanned Aircraft Flights in National Airspace over the Atlantic Ocean
By: Tracey Regan, New Jersey Institute of Technology
Image: RS-16 Unmanned Aircraft
With a piercing whoosh, the silver RS-16 aircraft took off yesterday afternoon from the U.S. Coast Guard Training Center in Cape May, climbed to about 3,000 ft. and began soaring in loops over the Atlantic Ocean. About 40 minutes later, the unmanned plane slid down the airstrip, turned its nose slightly, and stopped. A large crowd watching from the sidelines began applauding.
The flight, conducted by researchers from NJIT's Crisis Communication Center and partners, was an historic one for the state of New Jersey. The university and its partners are the first to conduct unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) flights in the state under a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) program to test the feasibility of safely integrating drones into national airspace and to assess the research and operational capabilities of communications and mapping sensors aboard the craft.
From a mobile emergency operations center provided by Cape May County and parked on the side of the airstrip, observers watched real-time video streaming from the drone's tailcam as it flew over the ocean.
"We are thrilled to have conducted these flights successfully and safely with the great team we put in place," said Michael Chumer, a research professor of information systems at NJIT and director of the Crisis Communication Center and of UAS Applied Research for the university, who is the mission's research director. "We will now apply to the FAA to take these capabilities a step further and at some point we would like to test them during an emergency."
NJIT's program is designed to demonstrate UAS technology that could be deployed in response to natural or man-made disasters to assist state and federal homeland security and emergency management agencies. The university launched its first three test flights in public airspace this week from Cape May, traveling each time for about a nautical mile out over the ocean. The UAS carried several data-collecting instruments in its payload bay, including devices with mapping and communications-relay capabilities, in addition to video streaming.....

Continued progress towards obtaining mining sub-licence for Baita Plai Polymetallic Mine in accordance with Romanian due process post-merger – grant of mining-licence will allow for commissioning of the Company's third mine reports Vast Resources plc, the AIM listed mining company with operations in Romania and Zimbabwe.
This first quarterly production report is another milestone in the journey of Vast's development into a mining and production company, following commissioning of the Manaila Polymetallic Mine in August 2015.
Operationally the two mines have achieved break even status during the first reported production quarter. Costs and efficiencies are improving and as always in mining projects, further improvements are possible and management in both Romania and Zimbabwe are focussed on reducing costs and improving mining and processing efficiencies.
At MPM the mining rate averaged in excess of 11,200 tonnes of ore per month. During the quarter the existing operational mill was still ramping up to its design capacity of 10,000 tonnes per month and has undergone a full refurbishment, including new liners. The second mill, currently non-operational, is being refurbished and is expected to be in production from April 2016 onwards. With both mills operational, the mine will have an installed milling capacity of 20,000 tonnes per month.
In conjunction with the increased processing capacity, a second flotation line is being installed enabling MPM to produce separate copper and lead/zinc concentrates. Metallurgical testwork undertaken by the Company indicates that the second flotation circuit will increase plant recoveries resulting in higher-grade concentrates. In addition to the improved grade, moving away from a bulk concentrate will increase the marketing flexibility of the product.


One of the more common signs of Alzheimer's disease is being confused and disoriented even in the most familiar of surroundings. Naturally, this can lead to wandering, a habit that is seen in six in ten people with dementia. Wandering can be very dangerous, and it is important that family members and caregivers take steps to limit this behavior and keep their loved ones safe.
In order to keep wandering to a minimum, you first need to understand why Alzheimer's patients wander in the first place. People wander for different reasons; it's too easy to simply chalk it up to dementia even if that's the underlying cause. Some people wander because they are searching for something, yet have forgotten where to go or how to find it, while others might be trying to get away from what they perceive as a stressful situation such as having too many people around. Others still are simply reliving the past; they try to go to a job that they haven't had in years, or they try to go home despite already being in their homes.
No two people wander for exactly the same reason, so it's important that you talk to your loved one and find out why they are wandering. This will help you put precautions in place and prevent at least some of this behavior.
The best way to prepare for Alzheimer's wandering is to have a daily routine in place. The routine should be easy to follow, and it shouldn't be changed unless it's absolutely necessary. This will be more helpful in the early stages of Alzheimer's when a person is just starting to lose their memory.
Another great thing a caregiver can do to curb wandering is to address any potential triggers. Since many people wander when they're looking for something to eat or to use the bathroom, offering a snack or showing them where the bathroom is works surprisingly well in keeping wandering to a minimum. Providing visual cues such as descriptive photographs on doors and landmarks can also keep an Alzheimer's patient from getting lost in their own home.
Finally, alarm systems can help you know when a loved one is on the move, and safety locks can prevent them from wandering away from home. These may be seen as more extreme solutions, but they may be necessary if the wandering behavior gets out of hand. In the later stages of the disease, your loved one will likely need Boca Raton live-in care to ensure safety around the clock.
In some cases, the complex symptoms of Alzheimer's can be difficult for families to manage without some assistance. That's where we come in. Home Care Assistance of Boca Raton is a trusted provider of home care, specializing specifically in Boca Raton Alzheimer's care. Our caregivers are experienced and highly trained in how to manage and minimize the symptoms of Alzheimer's, including wandering, and are available to provide care 24/7.

Mace do something great with the shape of their shorts that makes them sit just right, and even though this feels like a substantial pair of shorts, once on you really don't notice them – no snagging, no rubbing and even though the cut is easy, no flapping.
The stretch panel across the back gives you room for more radical moves, but the shaping (plus waist adjustment if you need it) keeps them close.
Hip pockets for slouching plus weatherproof-zipped leg pockets for stashing complete the cool style, which we'd be as happy to wear for hanging as riding.
A seamless crotch panel means you can sling them on sans liner for a quick jaunt to the pub with no worry of rubbing yourself up the wrong way.


Many assume that the Chief Data Officer's (CDO) policy and data management are relatively well understood. This broadly includes governance, quality and controls, modelling & architecture, usage & flows and key domains.
It is the 'how', which causes the issues. This includes ownership, which in my view is one of the most difficult aspects of execution. In most organizations accountability is often blurred; accountable and responsible definitions are ambiguous or enclosed within a "we are different" wrapper. This effectively leads to a situation in which no one can be held accountable.
Data ownership requires collaboration between everyone in an organization. Data ownership is a shared responsibility with no one individual, division or executive owning organization data. Data ownership will also change as an organization matures. So where do you start and how do you assign ownership?
In this example, executive ownership is used to drive understanding and education. It is critical that each part of the organization's key executives understand and help drive the broader data management change as needed, with ownership being a component. Policy is key to this process and is the anchor.
The identification of critical data elements is a progressive undertaking. To manage execution, use a risk-based approach. To ensure future capability of the organization, it is sound to start with activity that is starting or going to start. I call this 'fix forward'. The 'fix forward' approach helps with risk prioritization. Remediation of old legacy issues can be risk-assessed and prioritized using governance.
It is also important to note that when looking at data, process also needs to be considered. Data and process are not mutually exclusive. An end-to-end understanding is critical to ensure balanced decisions are made in managing and controlling data and process. Process can be undertaken immediately as the organization matures — if process is clearly understood with data flows, and assignment can be undertaken when appropriate.
The concept of ownership for data and process needs to be clearly defined. The table below outlines the various components of ownership using roles, with definitions for accountable, responsible, 100% committed and reasonable explained to provide full context.
The various activities undertaken in the production, consumption, and management of data through the data lifecycle (depicted in Figure 3) can be broadly defined in five key roles. These roles are defined below in Figure 2.
While the implementation of ownership will evolve, it is important to understand that all data-related roles need to collaborate to ensure data in the organization is managed efficiently and effectively.
Accountability and responsibility are compared to highlight how they should be used for the purpose of ownership.
Performing a duty on a '100% committed' basis is the onerous standard. If you are accountable or responsible for performing a duty on a '100% committed' basis this means, everything that can be done should be done: but not to the point of acting in a manner that is not commercially efficient or effective. The phrase 'no stone unturned' exemplifies the '100% committed' standard.
By contrast, "reasonable efforts" implies that what can be done should be done, in the context and purpose of the duty being performed, but without the responsible or accountable party needing to leave 'no stone unturned'. 'Reasonable efforts' is a less onerous standard than 100% committed.
The Critical Data Element (CDE) ownership is where real ownership begins. The CDE owner should be defined in the Business Glossary and become a critical part of the on-going governance in maintaining the development and understanding of critical data and the context in which it is critical. To tackle the complexity of ownership it is suggested that as you begin to understand critical data (through process and data flow documentation) you develop simple rules signed off by the executive and use this as a basis for ownership. While it won't completely avoid ambiguity, it provides a good place to start and a basis from which to develop CDE ownership in an organization.
It is not practical for the CDE Owner to understand the detail of the full end to end process for a CDE. A CDE will likely be the result of various processes across various parts of the organization. However an understanding of the end-to-end process is a key part of developing sound data management, with the owner responsible on a reasonable basis for this process.
Where a CDE crosses several processes across an organization, the owner of these sub-processes is accountable on a '100% Committed' basis. It is expected that the BAU activity covering these processes will have the necessary Risk Control Framework controls applied with appropriate ownership aligned.
The organization's technology should have owners of the various systems from a technical perspective. This means they maintain the accountability for ensuring the systems are current and working and support the organization's business processes. In this role they are responsible for ensuring the system controls and systems are defined in line with business requirements on a '100% committed' basis.
Data powers all business. All users of data are required to understand their responsibilities when using data to transaction process. They have a responsibility on a reasonable basis for ensuring their consumption of data is in line with organizational policies (data privacy, security, etc.).
The Chief Data Officer is accountable on a '100% committed' basis for ensuring the organization has the right policy, strategy, and data standards for the organization to operate effectively. The scope is across the data lifecycle which is outlined below in Figure 3.
As the CDO at Bank of Ireland, it's important to leverage Data Governance solutions, such as Informatica Axon ad Informatica Data Quality, to help ensure successful outcomes.
We talk to customers about the need to change the corporate culture to focus on the data, waking up the company to everyone's role in the process. This is best plain-English explanation of that process I've seen. Thank you!

Six years ago, when a heat exchanger failed at the Tesero refinery in Washington, causing an explosion and the deaths of seven employees, the U.S. Chemical Safety Board launched an investigation, released a report, and issued recommendations.
The catastrophic accident was one of nearly 60 process safety incidents that Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering students, most of them freshmen, studied during a recent semester in "CHBE 121: The Profession." They read board reports, summarized findings, provided recommendations for future companies working with similar hazards, and shared their insights at a poster session at the Illini Union. Seniors, many of whom will soon be in charge of these processes, offered feedback to the students. Departmental faculty, who will soon have the students in upcoming classes, also came to offer feedback on their posters.
The process safety exhibits have been included in the class since Spring 2012. They're part of the department's "design across the curriculum" efforts, which calls for students completing design projects in core chemical engineering courses throughout their undergraduate career. In addition to analysis of a process safety incident, CHBE 121 includes lectures and discussions on the history and scope of chemical engineering as well as trips to plants.
In 2012, the accreditation board ABET expanded program criteria for chemical engineering to require curriculum to include the hazards associated with engineering processes. The department's process safety projects are sponsored by Shell and Phillips 66.
Vogel assigns each group a different major process safety incident that happened within the last 15 years. Most incidents are taken from completed Chemical Safety Board investigations to provide the students with at least one in-depth source of information.
"It is a very sobering experience to stand in a room with nearly 60 different projects of major industrial accidents which have all happened within the student's lifetime," Vogel said. "Every time I create the list, I reflect on the continued mistakes our industry makes, compromising the integrity of property, but more importantly affecting the lives of people and families," he said.
For their project, students Maddy Chalifoux and Matt Daminato reviewed the Patridge-Raleigh oilfield explosion in Mississippi in 2006. Daminato said he's enjoyed learning more about what he could do with a degree in chemical engineering in CHBE 121, but also, "how to avoid incidents like this one" in Mississippi.
The one-credit-hour class "is not as intensive as other classes" in the ChBE curriculum, Chalifoux said. "But it's interesting because, coming in as freshmen, we don't know a lot about what chemical engineering is. The class gives us some insight into what we could do (with our degree) and what we will be doing for the next four years," she said.
The class often includes visits from alumni who work in a variety of industries. Seniors also talk to the class and share their experiences in internships or co-ops and studying abroad and other classes in the ChBE curriculum.
"It's given us information that we just don't get in chemistry class," said student Tom Crawshaw.

Philippines, Sweden
Sweden Mulls Halting Financial Aid To RP
Sweden has not reached a decision yet on whether or not to continue providing financial assistance to the Philippines after it closes down its embassy in Manila on May 30.
According to Fredrik Agerhem, second secretary of the Swedish Embassy, Stockholm is still discussing the issue of continuing its financial assistance to the Philippines and other Southeast Asian countries.
"We have not taken in a final decision yet. It is being discussed in Stockholm", Agerhem said Thursday.
He however added that Swedish assistance will continue in Cambodia and Laos because these countries "needed our help more and are less developed compared to the Philippines."
Sweden is also mulling on withdrawing the World Bank-administered Mindanao Trust Fund for the reconstruction and rehabilitation of strife-torn areas in the region.
The two-phase Mindanao Trust Fund focuses on the capacity building and implementation of reconstruction and development projects in conflict-affected areas while the peace process between the government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) is in progress.
The Swedish government had said that the decision to close the embassy is part of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs' continuous review of its organization abroad and assessment of its status in relation to changes in the surrounding world and changing requirements for monitoring and service.
After the closure, applications for visas will be handled by another Schengen Embassy in Manila.
The embassy said an honorary consulate will be established to provide basic consular support to Swedish citizens.

After months of shadow boxing between the major parties, yesterday's events revealed two things: first, that we face six weeks of intense political argy-bargy in the lead up to polling day on 24 November; and second, that SME issues will be central to the outcome of this election.
John Howard made clear his intention to make SMEs a focus of the coalition campaign in his first campaign speech yesterday. "There is no reason why Australia's unemployment cannot have a three in front of it. If Labor is elected, its anti-small business policies mean unemployment will rise," Howard said.
The implication in Howard's comment is clear – SMEs are crucial to employment in Australia, and any change to the Coalition's industrial relations laws will put a handbrake on their ability to do so.
While industrial relations will clearly be one of the big issues in the election, it is one where both parties have already clearly articulated where they stand. On a range of other crucial issues to SMEs, however, we are likely to hear more from both parties in the coming weeks.
Tax is likely to be the area where we will see the most movement. Labor has yet to say anything substantive on tax, but shadow treasurer Wayne Swan last week indicated he is keen to make changes to create incentive "all the way up the income scale".
The Coalition, on the other hand, already announced significant tax cuts this year in the May budget. If Labor makes a campaign tax cut promise, however, it is unlikely the Coalition will be able to resist doing the same.
Red-tape reduction is, arguably, the biggest sleeper issue. Many people outside the SME sector have no sense of the costs associated with government red-tape; within the SME sector, there are few bigger issues.
Labor has already announced that it will have a "minister for red-tape". The Coalition is likely to come back with a commitment of its own in the weeks ahead.
A fourth key area of difference is broadband. The Coalition has already put its tender process in place for a privately funded broadband network, but will be under pressure to give voters a better picture of the kind of network we can expect. For Labor, a publicly funded broadband network is locked in – but what strain will the $4.7 billion price tag put on its election costings?
And a final key area is industry and R&D. Labor has hinted at changes to R&D tax concessions and the Export Markets Development Grants scheme – it will have to come up with something substantial to counter the Government's $1.4 billion industry package announced earlier this year.
Action in all these areas will be needed by the party that seeks to attract the support of SME owners. And we know, more than is usually the case, that support is up for grabs: a SmartCompany–Roy Morgan poll of 769 small and medium businesses last month found a relatively low 51% say they will vote Liberal, compared to 35% who say they will vote Labor.
The Coalition will want to win back the support of its heartland, while Labor will push hard to prove it deserves to be trusted with a chance at government. In just six weeks, we will know the answer.
