Eminem – Recovery Review
Justin McBride June 29, 2010	Hip-Hop/Rap, Music, Reviews Leave a comment 146 Views
After Eminem's return to rap in the form of last year's Relapse, many fans were left wanting more. While Relapse was a passable effort from the venerable Detroit emcee, it wasn't the triumphant return to form that fans were expecting from him after 2004's disappointing Encore. When Relapse was released, Eminem revealed that he had also completed another album, tentatively entitled Relapse 2, which was set to be released at the end of 2009.
Recovery was born after Relapse 2 was pushed into 2010 and Eminem apparently went back to the drawing board to retool the album before release, to ensure that it would be the comeback album that he needed and his fans were thirsting for. With that said, does this album have what it takes to impress fans and critics alike? Read on to find out.
Eminem constantly and vehemently asserts that this is his official comeback album and that he is back in top form once again, starting early on the album with Talkin' to Myself, a profoundly honest confessional track. On this track, he demonstrates impressive depth and complexity as he tells the tale of his downward spiral into addiction and his eventual climb out of it.
While there are many tracks on which Eminem sounds genuinely apologetic (dare I say…endearing?) for letting his fans down, there are many where he seems to be back to his old shtick. On Going Through Changes, he's rapping about how he's maturing and his struggles with his recent drug addiction, the death of his best friend (the late rapper and D12 alum Proof) and rehabilitation and on the next, he's rapping about a "white trash party" on W.T.P. This brings to light another problem with the album and that is its inconsistency. Recovery doesn't have a singular focus and there's no sense of cohesiveness when going from Talkin' To Myself to W.T.P. and it results in an unfocused and somewhat jarring listen.
As much as I've criticized this album, there's a lot that Eminem has done right here. Eminem's signature blistering lyricism is on display in great form here, demonstrated very well on the angst-ridden 25 to Life and proves that he can sling metaphors with the best of them on the punchline-heavy Won't Back Down. Heck, on the Haddaway sampling No Love, I was even satisfied with a verse by Lil' Wayne. That alone is something special.
I may sound like I'm being a bit harsh on Eminem but, given the quality of his pre-Encore efforts, I've grown expect more of him. Allow me to reiterate. I don't think this album is bad by any means. If anything, Eminem is just a victim of his own success. Most other rappers could probably release this album and have it met with high praise. Eminem, on the other hand, has raised his personal bar so high for so many that missing that bar results in serious disappointment.
Recovery is an enjoyable, if unfocused addition to Eminem's catalog. Perhaps it's not as good as I was hoping it would be but as a whole, this is a good album. This is an album I can safely say that will be in my regular rotation for longer than Relapse and Encore were before it and that, in and of itself is a comforting thought. Eminem is on the right path, he just needs to reevaluate what he wants to accomplish with his rhymes. In some ways, it seems that he can't let go of the Slim Shady persona that was so dominant on the Slim Shady LP and Marshal Mathers LP and evolve his lyrical style beyond the madcap craziness of his previous albums and that is what seems to be holding him back here.
Most of the tracks on Recovery prove that Eminem still has the lyrical chops to elevate himself above the majority of today's mainstream Hip-Hop genre. Here's hoping he reacquires his focus for his next album and delivers the cohesive world-beater that he's capable of.
Editor's Note: I originally attributed a score of 3 out of 5 stars to this article but I have decided that I will not be giving this album a score at all and instead will allow the review text to speak for itself.

"At the Century 21 mall".
Oscar-winning actress Anne Hathaway says she has consciously tried to diversify her range as an actor.
"I have sympathy with De Niro because nobody wants to be there for these choreographed junket interviews". I ask De Niro, remembering just a few years back he had an old school flip-style mobile phone. But there's no connective tissue in it, and nobody at the company knows how to build connective tissue. They've changed the way we communicate with each other.
The Heat star's legendary status isn't lost on Hathaway. Who wouldn't empathize with her daily balancing act between job, family and health?
"He had a fun idea for me to play this character and it was just a thing I was curious to do".
Well, certainly nothing bad since we're talking about Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway, who open in "The Intern" on Friday, with writer/director Nancy Meyers at the confident helm. Soon, Ben's calling his millennial co-workers "dude" and helping them dress to impress ("You're saying you shave every day?" asks one, in wonder), while befriending Jules and her picture-perfect husband (Anders Holm) and daughter (JoJo Kushner). I don't envy, but I think it is a great thing if you are lucky enough, especially if you are in an untenable situation and you have a mentor who will change your life. "My experience with famous, iconic actors like Bob, Meryl or Nicholson is they're in your movie to be good".
And if Anne Hathaway has anything to say about it – then it was hit! "Annie is the ideal girl for this movie". She admits "losing my cool" because she expected De Niro to utter one-word answers and was surprised at his "hostility". "These guys were a gift to me". But Meyers is also making a none-too-subtle comment on gender, and the strides that women have made in the workplace.
"I'm not a fast writer", she said. Sort of in my mid-40s I decided that I was going to take a year off after each movie, because doing everything takes a lot out of me.
I actually have some interns who I work for now.


What happens during the scalp shading procedure?
The Color: Your technician will evaluate your scalp and hair color at the beginning of each session and choose a color a color to best match your natural hair.
Pigmentation: MicroArt Semi Permanent Makeup uses a single acupuncture needle that gently vibrates on the dermal layers of the skin depositing a mineral-based pigment into the scalp until the desired color is achieved. Individual hairs are layered on the skin creating a completely natural look.
Scalp Shading usually takes four (1-hour) sessions per 25 square inch (5"x5") area. Each session is scheduled 2-3 weeks apart.
Will MicroArt damage my hair follicle?
What do I need to know before my scalp shading appointment?
Your scalp should be clean without any products.
Bring a hat to wear after the procedure as your hair will be messy and you will need to wash it as soon as possible that day.
Can I wash my hair after Scalp Shading?
Yes, actually it is encouraged you go straight home and wash your hair!
Does the scalp shading procedure hurt?
The level of discomfort varies from person to person. A strong topical numbing cream is used.
Numbing shots are recommended if we are working on procedures taking 2 hours or more.
How often do I need maintenance appointments for Scalp Shading?
Everyone maintenance schedule is different based on how fast the skin exfoliates.
Can I receive Scalp Shading if I have had hair transplants?
Yes! MicroArt's Scalp shading procedure is completely safe so you will not lose any of your natural or transplanted hair from the scalp shading. Scalp shading does not damage the hair follicles in any way, will not cause any hair loss. Because it is so artfully applied, with surgical-quality fine instruments, MicroArt can even camouflage scars created by hair transplants.
What if I want to shave my head one day, go with a short crew-cut, or if I lose my hair with age? What would my scalp look like?
One of the major advantages of MicroArt is that it is semi-permanent – it lasts up to 3 years on the skin. So if you do not maintain it (have it refreshed with MicroArt maintenance treatments every year or two), it will eventually fade away completely. In this way, if you choose to shave your head, or lose your hair otherwise, there will not be any traces of MicroArt remaining on your skin. This contrasts with tattoos or other forms of permanent makeup, which will eventually turn a bluish color and lasts forever.
What is the price of the scalp shading procedure?
Custom colors. MicroArt colors are custom blended to match your hair color.
The procedure, sixteen (1-hour) sessions and can camouflage 25 square inches (5"X5") of skin.

Goldeyes Sign Right-Handers Joey Gonzalez, Sam Hellinger

by Steve Schuster |
WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes signed right-handed pitchers Joey Gonzalez and Sam Hellinger on Monday.
Gonzalez last pitched in 2019 where he saw time with two affiliates in the Houston Astros' organization. The Miami, Florida native had a combined 3.58 ERA in 28 relief appearances for the High-A Carolina League's Fayetteville Woodpeckers and the Low-A Midwest League's Quad Cities River Bandits. Gonzalez struck out 56 batters in 60.1 frames, and worked at least two innings in 22 of his 28 outings.
The 24-year-old Gonzalez enters his third season of professional baseball, and was drafted by the Astros in the 28th round in 2018 out of Stetson University (DeLand, Florida). As a rookie professional in 2018, Gonzalez posted a 1.37 ERA with 25 strikeouts in 19.1 innings for the Short Season-A New York-Penn League's Tri-City ValleyCats and the Astros' Rookie Gulf Coast League affiliate. During his junior season at Stetson, the 5-foot-11, 174-pound right-hander ranked 15th among NCAA Division-I pitchers with a 2.07 ERA (minimum 70.0 innings), and earned All-Atlantic Sun Conference honours.
"I'm excited about the addition of Joey and Sam," said Goldeyes' manager Rick Forney. "I think both of these arms have a chance to be special in the American Association. Joey has a nice, four-pitch mix and threw well with the Astros' organization. Sam has a power arm at 93 to 96 mph, and seems really hungry to compete at a high level."
Hellinger also last pitched in 2019, finishing with a 3.57 ERA in 17 relief appearances across three levels of the Texas Rangers' organization. The Seattle, Washington native had a 32 percent strikeout rate in 35.1 combined innings for the High-A Carolina League's Down East Wood Ducks, Low-A South Atlantic League's Hickory Crawdads, and the Short Season-A Northwest League's Spokane Indians. Hellinger, 26, worked multiple innings in 13 of his 17 appearances, including a season-high four innings on August 27th versus Frederick.
Hellinger played two seasons at the College of San Mateo (San Mateo, California) before transferring to Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington. The 6-foot-1, 195-pound Hellinger completed his senior season in 2017 with a 3.79 ERA in 40.1 innings, but went unselected in Major League Baseball's amateur draft. Hellinger then trained at Driveline Baseball in Kent, Washington where he developed more than seven miles per hour of fastball velocity, leading to a free agent contract with the Rangers in May of 2019.
The Goldeyes now have 22 players under contract for the 2021 season. American Association clubs may carry up to 30 players during spring training, which is scheduled to begin May 6th.

This recipe is one we tend to make a lot. It's a creation that's half bolognese, half san choy bau and it's not only easy to make but it's delicious and a balanced meal that's packed full of flavour and nutrients.
The following recipe serves 2 for a main meal.
Use a garlic crushed to crush 1 clove of garlic in a hot pan along with chopped onion and leek. We use a non stick pan that doesn't require olive oil but if you don't have one of these a tablespoon of olive oil is recommended.
Spoon into lettuce cups to serve.

"Please note that the deadline for the filing of SOCEs is on June 13. Comelec offices nationwide will be open on June 12 to accept the filing of SOCEs," said Comelec spokesman James Jimenez.
MANILA, Philippines — The Commission on Elections (Comelec) has reminded all the candidates in the last barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) polls that they have only until Wednesday to file their Statement of Contributions and Expenditures (SOCE).
Whether they won or lost in the race, he said all those who filed certificates of candidacy are required to submit the SOCEs.
"Even if they did not run during the elections, they have to file a SOCE. If they went abroad, they can execute a power of attorney so that a representative can file for them," Jimenez added.
Under the law, failure to file SOCE twice would result in a ban from running for public office again.
Data showed 685,785 candidates vied for 335,584 barangay seats while 386,206 others ran for a similar number of SK seats.

Q: java getRuntime().exec() with redirection I am trying to execute a terminal command in java yet I get erroneous results (even though the command is being executed). When I paste the same command to the terminal, it yields the correct output. I am guessing the problem occurs because of the redirection characters ('<','>') yet I haven't been able to find a solution. I am using eclipse and osx.
Below is the command, many thanks in advance.
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("java -jar filePath/rdfslice_1.6.jar "
 +
 "-source filePath/myData.nt -patterns {?s1 <http://www.europeana.eu/schemas/edm/isShownAt> ?o1.} "
+
"-out filePath/output.out -order S");

A: Runtime.exec is obsolete and really shouldn't be used for anything anymore.  Its replacement is ProcessBuilder.  You don't have to quote or escape anything when you use it:
ProcessBuilder builder = new ProcessBuilder(
    "java",
    "-jar",
    "filePath/rdfslice_1.6.jar",
    "-source",
    "filePath/myData.nt",
    "-patterns",
    "{?s1 <http://www.europeana.eu/schemas/edm/isShownAt> ?o1.}",
    "-out",
    "filePath/output.out",
    "-order",
    "S");

Process p = builder.inheritIO().start();

Asphalt pavement begins to deteriorate almost as soon as it's placed. As the pavement is exposed to oxygen, the asphalt hardens. This hardening results in a brittle surface that will eventually crack. The cracks enable oxygen and rainwater to penetrate the pavement, often into the sub base, weakening it and reducing pavement strength. Seal coating protects the surface and fills surface voids, reducing the pavement's exposure to oxygen and water, and extending pavement life.
We will fill your cracks using state of the art crack filler; however, we can not eliminate them. Crack repair service is not intended to make the cracks invisible, but to provide a watertight seal between the foundation of your driveway and harsh weather conditions. The crack repair may also be visible underneath the sealcoat.

Q: gfortran compiler bug? I work in an environment where we have a custom preprocessor for our fortran code.  I use the pre-processor to toggle logical parameters as a sort of poor man's function pointers.  I realized today that I had a situation similar to this:
  program main
  logical,parameter :: untrue=.false.
  if(untrue)then
    call func1()
  else
    call func2()
  endif
  end

  subroutine func2()
  print*,"Hello, World!"
  end

In other words, func1 is not anywhere defined, but, this compiles with gfortran (version 4.4 and 4.6) because presumably the compiler optimizes that call away.  I don't have other compilers to check against at the moment, does this code compile elsewhere?  Could/Should this be considered a compiler bug?
Part of the reason I toggle logical switches (instead of including/not including code) is so that the compiler can still check the interface/syntax (if capable) inside that block of code (and issue appropriate warnings for things that aren't simple function calls).  Does this imply those tests aren't being performed or just that the function isn't required by the linker so it all goes through Ok?

A: It is not a compiler bug.  The absence of a referenced external subprogram is not something that the standard requires a Fortran processor to diagnose.  Other processors may or may not complain.  Things like optimisation settings may affect the outcome - Intel Fortran 12.1.5 complains with optimisation off and does not complain with optimisation on.
For your example code, where func2 is an external subprogram, Fortran's separate compilation model for program units means that procedure interface checking is not required.  With many processors it is not likely to happen (practically func2 could perhaps be in a separate file that is compiled long after the main program, perhaps on a different machine, perhaps in a situation where the source for the main program is no longer available).  If you want guaranteed procedure interface checking then you need to ensure the procedures have an explicit interface, say by putting them in a module.  The procedure pointer language feature, introduced in the Fortran 2003 standard and supported by gfortran 4.6 at least, may also help.

A: It appears to be GNU Fortran specific behaviour that removes unreachable code sections even at optimisation level O0. This is consistent with ISO/IEC 1539:1991: §8.1.2 says that only one block of an IF construct must get executed and §8.1.1.2 explicitly prohibits transfer of control to the interior of a block from outside the block. This allows the compiler to remove the section of the code that for sure won't execute and it makes sense since you cannot change the behaviour of the IF construct in your example without recompiling the program source and the compiler is just being symbol-savvy.
But still I find it strange that gfortran does not warn about unreachable code even when compiling with -Wall -Wunreachable-code.

A: What you are seeing here is simply compiler allowing itself to ignore any references that are never going to be called for. The line:
logical,parameter :: untrue=.false.

guarantees that the first part of your if block is not going to be executed. As IanH pointed out (+1), this is not a compiler bug and is part of the optimization process. This code will also compile with default optimizations with pgf90 10.6-0 and ifort 12.0.2.137. However, they would fail if instructed to compile with no optimization enabled.
However if your line says:
logical :: untrue=.false.

It is more likely for compilers to complain, as the variable untrue is allowed to change its value. For example, pgf90 will fail unless higher optimization level is required, whereas 'ifort' will still compile on default optimization level.
In any case, it is not best practice to depend on compiler behavior, and, as IanH pointed out, it is always best to specify external function and subroutine interfaces through the use of modules.


If you'd been reading ArtsWatch's Facebook page over the past week or two, you'd have noticed early reports about awards for Helmuth Rilling, international journeys for the PSU chamber choir and UO chamber choir, Portland Piano international's new schedule and much more. ArtsWatch regularly breaks news about the burgeoning Oregon arts scene on Facebook. We also occasionally round up shorter tidbits in these News &Notes dispatches. Here's some items about arrivals and departures in Oregon music. And stay tuned – we have more news coming soon about another impending big move in Oregon classical music.
Last month, I broke the story of Portland native Kenji Bunch's return to Portland in Willamette Week, and wrote more about it on Oregon ArtsWatch. One piece of the story we couldn't reveal at the time, because it wasn't final, can now be told: Bunch will take over from FearNoMusic founder and pianist Jeffrey Payne as interim director of one of the most valuable programs in Oregon arts: FearNoMusic's Young Composers Project. The then-prospective teaching opportunity was one of the things he was most excited about in our conversation last month.
The YCP affords some of Oregon's most promising teenage composers a rare chance to work with some of the state's finest and most open-minded musicians for an entire academic year, culminating in a concert of their works played by FNM regulars.
Oregon audiences will also hear Bunch (who founded the New York-based Flux Quartet and Ne(x)tworks and the bluegrass band Citigrass) performing his own music, as he did in Corvallis (where he's been a regular at the summer Chintimini Festival) and Portland a couple years ago with Citigrass and a solo set at the late, lamented The Woods.
Bunch's return signals that Portland may now have become not just a generator for major classical musicians who then leave to find fame elsewhere, but also an attractor, just as it's long been in rock and other popular music.
While it's a treat to welcome a composer, performer and teacher as accomplished as Kenji Bunch back, we regret report that Oregon is losing a few of its stalwart musical instigators. So as we gain one vibrant violist (Bunch), we lose another. Classical Revolution PDX founder Mattie Kaiser moved to Brooklyn a few weeks ago, as part of the trade for Bunch plus a draft choice and a player to be named later (see below). Oregon owes Kaiser (who will still be involved with CRPDX long distance) a tremendous debt of gratitude for bringing classical music to many, many listeners who might otherwise be discouraged from hearing it by stiff ticket prices, stiffer archaic performance rituals and venues, and other unnecessary impedimenta.

However, while Portland will miss her inspirational dynamism, CRPDX has found a promising successor in Christopher Corbell, who in just a few weeks has already expanded the number of regular chamber music jams, launched a new educational / outreach effort, and accelerated what could be a historically important conjunction of CRPDX's democratization of classical music with the city's fertile new music scene.
While the classics will never go away entirely, it's exciting to contemplate the implications if new music finds a nurturing home in clubs and cafes around Portland, rather than being locked away in ivory towers as it has so often been over the past century. After all, many of what we now consider classics were actually born not just in palaces and churches concert halls but also in coffee houses and bars, before the musty museum mentality that's slowly been strangling classical music began exerting its death grip a century ago. CRPDX's new direction could offer a real opportunity to bring contemporary classical music to the ears of Oregonians who might not otherwise encounter it, and also to encourage composers to write more accessible music for a broader audience beyond academics and new music nerds (like yours truly).
According CRPDX's press release, its new Classical Outreach Series entails sponsoring chamber ensembles to bring classical music to places where it's not commonly encountered, including "three concerts for each participating chamber ensemble: one educational outreach concert at a school or learning center, one social outreach concert at a facility with limited access to live classical music, and one public concert in a fun, casual, low-admission-charge venue." The first two groups include Post-Haste Duo, a new-music-commissioning reed duo featuring saxophonist Sean Fredenberg and bassoonist Javier Rodgriguez, and The Mousai, a new-music ensemble featuring pianist Maria Choban, oboist Ann Van Bever and flutist Janet Bebb.
To help fund this program and other new initiatives CRPDX will be hosting a public, no-cover-charge fundraiser at southeast Portland's Vie de Boheme cafe on Wednesday, June 5.
Alas, Kaiser isn't the only loss Oregon music is suffering. Two of the city's finest classical musicians, hornist Leander Star and flutist Elise Blatchford (40 percent of City of Tomorrow Wind Quintet, which started in Chicago and whose other members live there and in New York and San Antonio) will be leaving for Tennessee, where Blatchford has scored an academic position. Star will return occasionally to play in the Portland Opera orchestra and perhaps we'll see them on other Oregon stages.
You can catch the pair's last shows in Portland before their departure this Sunday, May 19, at downtown Portland's First Presbyterian Church, when the duo joins ArtsWatch contributor and pianist Choban in the Bird in My Horns trio's performance in the Celebration Works series, and June 6 at Portland's Piano Fort.
Still another dispiriting departure: pianist Andrew Oliver, who has contributed enormously to Portland's recent jazz resurgence, will be leaving for a new life in London at the end of July. Oliver's stellar composing and performing skills (with his own ensembles, plus the Ocular Concern, Portland Jazz Composers Ensemble, Kora Band, Tunnel 6, Bridgetown Sextet, and too many others to keep straight) will be missed, as will his indefatigable efforts (through his establishment of PCJE and its record label, his radio work, and more) to promote the Portland jazz scene, particularly with the young generation of terrific musicians now rejuvenating our jazz culture.
You can hear Ocular Concern premiering new pieces with strings and bandoneon (the Argentine accordion that graces tango music – yes, Oliver also plays in a tango band) and opening for the New Mexico based Round Mountain at Portland's Secret Society on May 30, and also hear Oliver playing the music of the great contemporary jazz composer Dave Douglas along with new original music with PCJE at Portland's Mission Theater on June 20.
Douglas Detrick is coming back home.
Oliver's loss is a blow to Portland's creative jazz community, but it's at least partially cushioned by the news that, like Bunch, another Oregon-bred talent is coming home from Brooklyn. Trumpeter/composer Douglas Detrick, who first came to prominence as a University of Oregon student, will be moving to Portland in the fall. Detrick, who recently scored a prestigious Chamber Music America New Jazz Works commission, works the borderlands between composed and improvised music in his AnyWhen Ensemble, which performed in Eugene and Portland last February, and he appears with Oliver and fellow past and present Oregonians Dan Duval and UO alum Hashem Assadullahi on a new album by Operation Northwoods, released on Oliver's PCJE label.
ArtsWatch's Brett Campbell recently learned, at an inebriated family gathering, that his distant cousin, WWeek classical music editor Brett Campbell, will be leaving that august position at month's end. With help from Hopworks, Campbell plied Campbell for the straight dope.
BC: So, dude, what's this about you leaving Willy Week?
BC: True dat, man. Can you pass the keg?
BC: Sure. Why would you step down from such a swell sinecure?
BC: Well, first, the budget cuts meant that Meeker couldn't afford to fix his office jacuzzi after it got clogged with Kristal, so he bogarted mine. And then, one by one, they sequestered my squadron of interns, fact checkers, masseuses…. I knew it was only a matter of time before they started actually checking the expense account, and there was no way I was gonna be able to explain the bail bondsman, liquor store bills, flights to New York to "see the Met," etc.
BC: So you're another victim of the austerity budget?
BC: The last straw came when I found out that WW had been secretly bought out by a front company for a consortium comprising the Koch Brothers, Rupert Murdoch, Donald Trump, Jane Fonda, and Jay Z. Oops, wait, Zusman swore us all to secrecy about that. You'll edit that out, right?
BC: Sure, sure, we're all family here. Want another beer?
BC: Thanks, cuz. Ahhh, that's hoppy! I mean, I could read the writing on the wall. Once they passed the Classical Music Liberation Act, allowing classical listings to escape the ghetto of theater, dance and other undesirables and compete for space on WW's Music page against musicians who actually, y'know, play music written in the 21st century, I knew the ride was over. How can classical cover bands compete against sounds of our own time that our readers can afford and actually want to hear played live? Hey, I think the tap is dry.
BC: Oh, sorry. Here's another. So it sounds like once WW moves its classical listings from the Stage page to the Music page next month, readers who want to get a deeper, more comprehensive view of the classical music scene had better read Oregon ArtsWatch.
BC: I guess so, although I'll still be pitching stories and listings on classical concerts to WW, like I was already doing with jazz, world music and other unpopular music. It just means I won't be responsible for compiling the dozens and dozens of underrehearsed performances of music that's been played a zillion times and anyone can hear online. That took hours and hours each week, and I kept spilling beer on the keyboard. And there'll be fewer classical listings, but those events that are listed will get more space. However, they'll be sharing space with rock, jazz, world music and the rest, most of it created in our own time and much of it by Oregonians. What's happening now – that's what most readers have always wanted to know about. We're writing news, not history.
BC: So I guess it means that if classical music institutions want to get love from Willamette Week from now on, they better up their game and program music that's composed in our time, and maybe even in Oregon.
BC: Well, that's up to WW's music editor, but yeah, it's wild, man. I mean, I recently found out that people are still writing classical music! In this day and age! Can you imagine? Lots of beautiful stuff that speaks to today's listeners. And lots of people who aren't on Social Security actually like it and listen to it! Just like rock and hip hop and other new music. Who knew?
BC: Wow… you'd never know that by looking at the season announcements of our main classical music institutions. Has anyone told [NAME OF STODGY PORTLAND CLASSICAL MUSIC INSTITUTION DELETED BY INSISTENCE OF DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR]?
BC: Well, it won't be me. I'm gonna be too busy to do more than a few listings and stories, at least till next year.
BC: Why, pray tell? Another black tar run south of the border?
BC: Worse. My coauthor and I have been ordered to write a biography of a 20th century classical composer. Uh, hello? This flagon ain't gonna fill itself.
BC: You got it. So, they wrote classical music in the 20th century too?
BC: Apparently so. I'm checking that rumor out, of course. I'm a trained journalist, after all. They even tell me that this guy, Lou Harrison, was born right here in Portland! And that he was one of the godfathers of the world music movement. Portland ensembles and choirs have even played and recorded his music, there's a new film about him, some guys named Merce Cunningham and Mark Morris choreographed a bunch of dances to his music, Keith Jarrett and Yo Yo Ma played it, and people totally love it because it has melodies and dance rhythms and everything, even though it doesn't sound like anyone else's.
BC: Wow, that's amazing! Who's publishing it?
BC: Indiana University Press, which publishes lots of bios of American composers. So now my coauthor and I have to write 125,000 words, and the contract specifically states they can't be randomly generated as I'd planned. I guess I'll write the first word, then he writes the second one, I write the third, and so on. That's the main reason I'm quitting WW. Basically, I lost a bet on the NCAA basketball playoffs when Louisville beat my Ducks. The loser had to write a book published by the state university press of the winner.
BC: But… but Louisville is in Kentucky, not Indiana.
BC: What?! Obviously I was misinformed. Excuse me, I gotta run and see if I can get out of that contract.
BC: Wait, before you go – any truth to the rumor that Carlos Kalmar himself personally guaranteed your fee at IUP to keep you from ragging on the Oregon Symphony in WW for playing almost exclusively music by dead Europeans?
BC: Nah, doubtful – we still have Oregon ArtsWatch for that.
wow, one door opens & another door closes – PDX is the place to be, to leave &/or to come on baaack to.
as for me, this is the site of my last stand. that's right, baby, i'm a committed PDXer – till death do us part . . .
i should add that my belief that PDX is a super-bitchen place is rigorously informed by having had the opportunity to live LOTS of different places in my lifetime: El Lay, Seattle, Port Townsend, Victoria, Winston-Salem, Paris, Hamburg, London & Warsaw.
in other words, i know, even in a comparative sense, how glorious our town is. i feel incredibly fortunate to have wound up here.

The increase in the number of Social Security Administration (SSA) employees who are expected to retire over the next decade is going to pose long-term challenges for the agency, even as demand for its services is projected to climb steadily, according to a preliminary SSA report by the U.S. Government Accountability Office.
The squeeze will affect the SSA in the areas of staffing, disability claims processing, information technology management and reorganizing the widespread agency's physical infrastructure, the GAO report found.
More than 7,000 employees at SSA headquarters and 24,000 field agents will be eligible to retire between 2011 and 2020. At the same time, the number of Social Security beneficiaries is expected to rise to 85.4 million people in 2025, from 62.2 million last year, as baby boomers retire and elect to draw on government benefits.
Social Security, which serves nearly every American through old-age and survivors insurance, disability insurance and the Supplemental Security Income program, is the nation's largest annuity system, making fixed income payments at regular intervals to tens of millions of recipients.
In 2012, SSA issued checks worth more than $826 billion in retirement, disability and supplemental security income to more than 62 million people.
While the agency has taken steps to address long-term planning challenges, existing plans are not enough and will be a priority for the agency's new administrator. Former Commissioner Michael J. Astrue left in January after completing a six-year term. Acting Commissioner of Social Security Carolyn W. Colvin has headed the agency since.
Even as the agency has made strides to improve services, with as much as one-third of the workforce being lost to attrition and budget cutbacks, the agency faces serious issues keeping up with demand.
The number of initial disability claims submitted by applicants has outpaced the agency's ability to process them, for example, and disability beneficiaries are expected to grow by about 15 percent between 2012 and 2015, the GAO report said.
The agency could do more to protect its information technology infrastructure and be more efficient in consolidating its field offices as the agency and Social Security recipients move to online platforms, the report also said.
The GAO expects to release its final report on the state of the Social Security Administration in June.

Achieving the economic development of poor countries remains a formidable challenge which increasingly preoccupies OECD countries. The Organization's Development Centre was founded in 1962 as one means to study and to confront the problems of comparative development and to relate them to experiences in the more advanced economies. This book provides a compendium of that experience and looks forward to future policies and strategies, which might provide some solutions to the problems facing developing countries. Some reflections are also included on how the Development Centre has evolved and been transformed better to synchronize with the OECD's overall efforts in favor of the poorer countries, regions, and peoples.
OECD, December 19, 2003
Jorge Braga de Macedo is president of the OECD Development Centre. He was Portugal's minister of finance from 1991 to 1993. Colm Foy is the head of communication for the OECD Development Centre. He is a specialist in the economics and politics of developing countries in Central America and Sub-Saharan Africa. Charles P. Oman is in charge of the OECD Development Centre's program on corporate governance. He previously led research on globalization and regionalization, and on new forms of investment in developing countries.

News Nonprofit Fostering Media Connections Secures $100K Grant to Cover Foster Care
By: Fostering Media Connections
• Foster Care
• California
• Los Angeles - California - US
LOS ANGELES - Sept. 8, 2017 - PRLog -- Fostering Media Connectionshas received a $100,000 grant from the Walter S. Johnson Foundation to produce news stories on the higher education and employment of foster youth and the intersection of child welfare and technology.
The Walter S. Johnson Foundation assists transition-age foster youth and other vulnerable youth to become successful adults by promoting positive change to the systems and policies that serve them.
"The future for the foster youth is not just about what happened to them in the past, but what these young people can achieve when they're given what so many middle-class youth are given in America," said Yali Lincroft, program officer at the Walter S. Johnson Foundation. "We want to know more about how employment, access to higher education and technology can help our youth thrive, and we believe in Fostering Media Connections' ability to tell these stories effectively."
Fostering Media Connections (FMC) is currently scaling its groundbreaking work nationally. This grant will not only allow the journalism non-profit to cover higher education, employment and technology issues as they pertain to foster care in California, but Nevada as well.
"As we grow our operations we are looking forward to charting new ground in Nevada, while also being able to contextualize more of the stories we write with national trends and comparisons," said Daniel Heimpel, FMC's president. "We are honored to have the Walter S. Johnson Foundation's support in our effort to take child welfare issues into the mainstream."
FMC publishes The Chronicle of Social Change, an online news site, and two magazines: Fostering Families Today and Adoption Today. A key part of the organization's strategy is to break stories that other media outlets follow. In the fiscal year that closed in June, mainstream and niche media outlets picked up FMC's work 501 times.
Fostering Media Connections is a 501 c (3) nonprofit organization that harnesses the power of journalism and media to improve the lives of vulnerable children, youth and their families. Learn more at http://fosteringmediaconnections.org.

I just figured out how to do it! I have not rebaked any UV set at all, was using old ones... just deleted one of UV sets and exported all textures of second one.. and they are clean! So after that i returned back and deleted second UV set and exported appropriate textures! Thats the only solution i found.... So i think its still a BUG !
but actually i dont understand why i cant bake both UV sets if 3D Coat allows me to... img attached below..
Mr. Carlosan how are you?
Hi all, people! I have been texturing models in a 3D Coat many times and i found one big trouble for me: there is no way to set a scale factor for each created meterial to keep it always same! Usually its not a big deal but sometimes i really need to reproduce the same scale for another materials... i cant remember what was it last time example img below Is there any way to fix the scale factor that i have not found yet? Thanks!
Hi people! There is one thing i hate - when im working with a topology i often drag its' points. In 4.5 release dragging mode been changed (img submitted). Is there any way to disable this "jumping" of points?!! Disabling snapping mode is not appropriate 'cause the points start fly away from the surface. Thanks for support!
So in my case the only way is to use the Normal world map to get clear render, right? or there is some solution ? maybe another preset for baking?

In Key Committee Hearing, U.S. Sen. Martin Heinrich Calls For Protection Of Chaco Canyon Area
on May 15, 2019 - 7:59am
U.S. Sen. Martin Heinrich
U.S. SENATE News:
WASHINGTON, D.C. ― U.S. Sen. Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.), a member of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, delivered opening remarks Tuesday at a Subcommittee on Public Lands, Forests, and Mining hearing on S. 1079, the Chaco Culture Heritage Area Protection Act, a bill he introduced with U.S. Sen. Tom Udall (D-N.M.) to withdraw the federal lands around Chaco Canyon from further mineral development.
Heinrich's legislation, S. 526, the Buffalo Tract Protection Act, to withdraw four parcels of Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lands in southern Sandoval County, including the Buffalo Tract and the Crest of Montezuma, from any mineral development, including gravel mining, is also being considered by the committee.
VIDEO: Heinrich Delivers Opening Remarks on Chaco Culture Heritage Area Protection Act and Buffalo Tract Protection Act [Download HD]
Heinrich's opening remarks on the Chaco Culture Heritage Area Protection Act and the Buffalo Tract Protection Act are below:
I want to thank the subcommittee for hearing two bills today on issues of importance to New Mexico.
First, the Chaco Cultural Heritage Area Protection Act would protect the area immediately surrounding the Chaco Culture National Historic Park from federal development of oil and natural gas.
This landscape is sacred to tribes across the southwest, and tribal leaders are united in their opposition to new development with 10 miles of the park.
And New Mexico's governor, state land commissioner, and entire congressional delegation agree that this is the wrong place for oil and gas production.
As development in the San Juan basin moves further and further south, the air pollution, dust, and light pollution at the sacred sites within the park only increase.
And fragile historical and cultural sites outside the park boundaries are directly threatened by new wells drilled without the benefit of a cultural resource survey based on the traditional knowledge of pueblo and Navajo experts.
We cannot rush into development in a place this important and this complex.
Preventing development in the immediate surroundings of the park will protect irreplaceable cultural sites, and ensure that the Greater Chaco Landscape remains intact.
Mr. Nedd, in your testimony, you state that it would be premature for the Department of the Interior to take a position on permanent protection for this area before you complete the planning process.
If that's the case, I hope the BLM takes the same approach to development decisions that would have a permanent impact on this landscape. If protection is premature at this time, then surely development is also premature.
I hope that the BLM's plan will give this landscape's irreplaceable cultural resources the protection they deserve.
Secondly, the Buffalo Tract Protection Act would withdraw four small parcels of BLM land just north of Albuquerque from mineral development. This area is already home to three gravel mines, which have negatively impacted the air and water quality of the area.
These BLM parcels act as critical connections for wildlife moving between the Sandia Mountains to the south and the Sangre de Christo Mountains to the north. These parcels also provide invaluable recreational open space in this growing area.
The two neighboring pueblos, the county, the nearest town, neighborhood associations, and local residents all agree that these parcels are not the right place for yet another gravel mine.
As demonstrated by the BLM's testimony today, they are determined to sell the gravel resource here over the objection of all local stakeholders.
A legislative withdrawal will permanently protect the wildlife habitat and recreation resources for this community.
Thank you again to the subcommittee, and I yield back my time.


Full-time police national servicemen Tan Keng Yew and George Lee tend to be more familiar with administrative duties.
So the last thing the 21-year-olds imagined was to be part of a dramatic chase to nab a molester while on their way to work.
It all began when the bus they were on at 7am on March 12 stopped suddenly along Tampines Road.
"The bus driver turned around and announced to all passengers that the bus would be locked down because a teenage girl had approached him and told him that a man who molested her two weeks ago was on the bus," said Mr Tan.
The bus driver said the police had been contacted.
Mr Tan, who was sitting at the back of the bus, approached both the driver and the girl and identified himself as a police officer.
Mr Lee, who was seated at the front of the bus and saw what had happened, also stepped forward to offer his help.
Mr Lee told The New Paper: "I offered help because I felt a sense of duty."
Both men did not know each other before the incident.
The bus driver then asked passengers to alight one by one through the front door.
The teenager was pointing out the molester - a man in his 50s - to the two police officers when he attempted a quick escape through the exit.
He was stopped by the officers and when they asked him if he was the molester, he indicated that he did not understand English and backed away slowly.
The man then rushed out of the bus from the back exit. It was unclear how the back doors were opened.
Mr Tan and Mr Lee jumped off the bus and chased him, together with two other male passengers, down Tampines Road.
While running, Mr Tan slipped and fell along a downward slope.
But the abrasions he had on his palm and waist did not stop him.
The group of four continued to chase the man and nabbed him as he was halfway up a wall.
Mr Lee told TNP: "I grabbed him by his shirt before he could get away. He did not struggle and stayed compliant when we caught him."
The group took him back to a bus stop nearby and made him sit by the kerb. The police arrived soon after.
The man was convicted and served two weeks behind bars in March this year. He could have been jailed for up to two years.
Reflecting on the incident, Mr Tan said that he "did not think too much about it and acted purely on instinct".
His and Mr Lee's friends and family were concerned as the man could have retaliated violently, but Mr Lee said at least they were "able to help keep Singapore a little safer".
Mr Tan is doing his NS with the Ministry of Home Affairs, while Mr Lee is with the police headquarters.
They intend to further their studies after completing their NS.
Mr Tan is enrolling in Singapore Management University to study information systems, and Mr Lee hopes to work part-time while pursuing a degree.
The two said this experience not only forged a friendship between them but also changed their perception of police work as they are not frequently deployed to the frontline.
"This is something we will remember for the rest of our lives," said Mr Lee.


Tuesday 16th February unless otherwise shown.

Since last Sunday, I have marveled at the level of support expressed throughout our nation for the city of Orlando. Jacksonville is no exception, as evidenced by the generosity of so many foundations, organizations and people. I was recently granted an opportunity to speak with the parents of the Jacksonville resident who was among the 49 who perished in the Orlando terrorist attack. Orlando terrorist attack – even those words strung together sound odd. Terrorism now describes a city once synonymous with magic, wonder, and fun. It's now a memory parents, siblings, spouses, friends and family will forever carry with them. During my conversation, I asked the parents what could I or the city offer them. They shared that the greatest thing we could provide are prayers. As a man of great faith, I understand the value of prayer. As a family member to an Orlando couple who lost dear friends in this attack, I understand the hopelessness that so many feel.
Orlando will regain its strength. The greatest path to healing is through support. Jacksonville – let's show the people of Orlando that we are thinking of and praying for them.
One Jacksonville for One Orlando.
Show your support for Orlando by expressing your thoughts on the Dear Orlando postcard. Available at all public library locations on Wednesday, June 22, the postcards provide space for you to send a message to the citizens of Orlando and wish them well. The cards will be collected from the libraries and sent to the City of Orlando on July 30, the International Day of Friendship.

Als Spendenaffäre der Frankfurter SPD werden die Auseinandersetzungen um einige Parteispenden an die SPD Frankfurt am Main Anfang der 1970er Jahre bezeichnet, die in einem zeitlichen Zusammenhang mit lukrativen öffentlichen Aufträgen standen. Der Verdacht der Korruption (die CDU-Opposition und Teile der Medien sprachen vom roten Filz) gilt als einer der Gründe für die massiven Verluste der SPD bei den Kommunalwahlen in Hessen 1977 und den Verlust der SPD-Mehrheit im Römer, dem Frankfurter Rathaus.

Die Parteispenden
Der damalige Frankfurter Oberbürgermeister Rudi Arndt (SPD) hatte im Dezember 1972 im Römer eine Barspende über 200.000 DM des libanesischen Kaufmanns Albert Abela entgegengenommen. Albert Abela hatte zuvor, im Frühjahr 1972, die Konzession zum Betrieb von Tiefgaragen auf dem Flughafen Frankfurt Main beantragt. Am 8. September 1972 hatte der Aufsichtsrat der Flughafen AG dieser Konzession zugestimmt. Der Aufsichtsrat (dem auch Rudi Arndt angehörte) wurde von den Vertretern des SPD-Magistrats und der SPD/FDP-Landesregierung dominiert. Am 14. Dezember 1972 entschied die Flughafen AG, den Vertrag mit Abela aufzulösen. Stattdessen wurde ein neuer Vertrag mit besseren Konditionen mit der Firma "alpark" abgeschlossen, an der wiederum Abela beteiligt war.

Der Berliner Bauunternehmer Karsten Klingbeil hatte Anfang der 1970er Jahre Rudi Arndt Parteispenden von insgesamt 1,2 Millionen Mark in mehreren Raten übergeben. Auch Klingbeil hatte von einer Entscheidung der Flughafen AG profitiert. Er war der Bauherr des Sheraton-Hotels am Flughafen.

Staatsanwaltliche Ermittlungen und Untersuchungsausschuss
Nachdem Strafanzeige wegen des Verdachtes auf Untreue gestellt worden war, führte die Staatsanwaltschaft Frankfurt Ermittlungen durch und entschied sich, kein Strafverfahren einzuleiten. Pikant hierbei ist, dass die Staatsanwaltschaften dem Hessischen Justizministerium unterstellt sind.

In seiner 9. Sitzung der Wahlperiode setzte der Hessische Landtag am 23. April 1975 auf Antrag der CDU-Fraktion einen Untersuchungsausschuss ein, der die "Kenntnis von Mitgliedern der Landesregierung von einer Parteispende des Geschäftsmannes Albert Abela an die SPD im Zusammenhang mit der Konzessionsvergabe für die
Bewirtschaftung der Tiefgarage am Frankfurter Flughafen an dessen Firma" aufklären sollte. Später wurde der Untersuchungsauftrag um die Sheraton-Spenden erweitert.

Der Ausschuss unter Vorsitz von Otto Rudolf Pulch (FDP) (Mitglieder waren die Abgeordneten Karl Günther Kronawitter (SPD), Gert Lütgert (SPD), Albert Pfuhl (SPD), Rudi Rohlmann (SPD); Hartmut Nassauer (CDU), Adolf Roth (CDU), Wilhelm Runtsch (CDU), Dieter Weirich (CDU) und Otto Rudolf Pulch (FDP)) nahm im Frühjahr 1975 seine Arbeit auf, tagte 28 mal und hörte bis zu seiner letzten Sitzung am 14. Juli 1977 siebzehn Zeugen.  Er legte (wie üblich) einen Bericht der Mehrheitsfraktionen SPD/FDP und einen Minderheitenbericht der CDU-Fraktion vor, die zu diametral unterschiedlichen Bewertungen kamen:

Die Mehrheitsfraktionen resümierten im Mehrheitsbericht, dass kein Zusammenhang zwischen den Spenden an die Frankfurter SPD und der Vergabe von Konzessionen am Rhein-Main-Flughafen habe bewiesen werden können. Der Bericht schrieb: "Die Verwendung der Spende ließ der Zeuge Abela im Ermessen des Zeugen Arndt. Dieser erklärte, dass er nicht sofort über die Annahme der Spende entscheiden könne und er das Geld vorläufig in Verwahrung nehmen wolle."

Allerdings rückte die FDP leicht von ihrem Koalitionspartner ab. FDP-Fraktionsvorsitzender Otto Wilke erklärte im Landtag, es sei wohl für alle Ausschussmitglieder mehr als überraschend gewesen, "wie weit im Bereich des Flughafens offensichtlich orientalische Bräuche die Szene beherrschen". Diese Bemerkung bezog sich insbesondere auf die Rolle eines Maklers aus dem Libanon namens Nagib Nahas. Dieser war jahrelang als Verhandlungspartner der Flughafen AG aufgetreten und hatte das Parkhausgeschäft vermittelt. Zwar hatte sich Nagib Nahas vor dem Untersuchungsausschuss so sehr in Widersprüche verwickelt, dass auch die Opposition dessen Aussage, er sei Zeuge der Vereinbarung gewesen, dass die Spenden als Gegenleistung für die Konzession vereinbart worden wären, nicht mehr für glaubwürdig hielt. Jedoch stieß die Zusammenarbeit der Flughafen AG mit Nagib Nahas auf breite Kritik. Der Sitzungsleiter, der SPD-Abgeordnete Albert Pfuhl fragte, wie eigentlich die Frankfurter Flughafengesellschaft dazu gekommen sei, Geschäftsbeziehungen mit Leuten zu unterhalten, deren Gebaren "mehr mediterranen Charakter" trage und "unseren Vorstellungen" nicht unbedingt entspreche. Flughafenchef Erich Becker verteidigte die Zusammenarbeit mit Nahas im Untersuchungsausschuss mit dem Verweis auf die verbesserte Ertragssituation des Flughafens.

Die CDU kam in ihrem Minderheitsvotum zu der Bewertung, "Die von der Ausschussmehrheit vorgenommene Würdigung der erhobenen Beweise ist unzulänglich." Die Ausschussarbeit hätte ergeben, dass Abela zwar das zahlenmäßig höchste, nicht aber das wirtschaftlich günstigste Angebot gemacht habe. Negativ sei vor allem die vereinbarte Zahlung der Konzessionsabgabe von zwanzig Millionen Mark in vier jährlichen Raten, ohne dass diese Zahlungen abgesichert gewesen seien. Als Konsequenz forderte die CDU den Rücktritts Beckers als Flughafen-Vorstandsvorsitzender. Daneben schrieb die CDU:

"Die gelegentlich dieser Untersuchung zutage getretenen Vorgabepraktiken der FAG sind mit den Gepflogenheiten, die für eine mit öffentlichem Kapital ausgestattete Aktiengesellschaft gelten müssen, nicht zu vereinbaren. Es kann nicht hingenommen werden, dass Vorstands- oder Aufsichtsratsmitglieder auch nur den Eindruck aufkommen lassen, sie seien für Spenden von Geschäftspartnern empfänglich. Auch dann, wenn die Hingabe einer Spende nicht auf eine genau zu bestimmende geschäftliche Handlung eines Aufsichtsrats- oder Vorstandsmitgliedes zielt, sondern lediglich allgemeines Wohlwollen zu erregen trachtet, kann die Annahme einer solchen Spende nicht als bedenkenlos erachtet werden."

Wirkungen
1976 hatte der Helaba-Skandal den Rücktritt des hessischen Ministerpräsidenten Albert Osswald (SPD) am 3. Oktober 1976 zur Folge. Die Diskussion um die Spenden an die SPD Frankfurt trug gemeinsam mit diesem Vorkommnis dazu bei, in der Öffentlichkeit das Bild zu verstärken, dass die 30 Jahre währende Regierungszeit der SPD in Hessen (man sprach vom roten Hessen) anfällig für Vetternwirtschaft und Korruption geworden war. Auch wenn kein Nachweis erbracht werden konnte, dass die Spenden Gegenleistung für die Konzessionsverträge gewesen waren, so fiel das Schlagwort der CDU Hessen vom roten Filz auf fruchtbaren Boden. Die folgende Kommunalwahl 1977 wurde für die SPD zum Desaster. Landesweit brach sie ein. In Frankfurt erreichte die CDU die absolute Mehrheit, und Walter Wallmann (CDU) löste Rudi Arndt als Oberbürgermeister ab.

Am Flughafen selbst änderte sich nichts. Erich Becker blieb noch bis 1988 Vorstandsvorsitzender und schied als allseits geachteter Manager, ausgezeichnet mit dem großen Bundesverdienstkreuz, aus dem Amt.

Ho-hum turnout from Sanders' coalition as Biden takes key states: exit poll
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – With their candidate on the ropes, supporters of Bernie Sanders again failed to show up when it mattered on Tuesday as Democrats held six presidential nominating contests, including the big prize of Michigan, according to exit polling by Edison Research.
Edison declared former Vice President Joe Biden the winner over Sanders, a U.S. senator from Vermont, in Michigan, Missouri and Mississippi as voting ended in those states.
Young voters and white men – two groups among whom Sanders has attracted strong support – made up roughly the same proportion of turnout as they did in 2016 in Michigan, Missouri and Mississippi, the three states where Edison has data in both years.
A large majority of African Americans in those states voted for Biden, despite Sanders' last-minute endorsement from civil rights activist Jessie Jackson.
Sanders, a progressive stalwart who has been buoyed by his support for increasingly popular proposals like Medicare for All, which would replace private health insurance with a government-run plan, has based his candidacy on the notion that he could drive up voting among people who tend to stay away from politics.
So far, that has not happened in states that have voted this year. Biden won the lion's share of the delegates in last week's Super Tuesday contests when 14 states voted.
Edison, which compiles voter polls and live election results for media organizations including ABC News, CBS News, CNN, NBC News and Reuters, also found that a majority of voters said Biden was the candidate they trusted most to handle a major crisis, a sentiment that may be weighing heavily as coronavirus cases spread across the country.
The respiratory illness has killed 29 people in the United States and infected nearly 1,000 people, with nearly three-quarters of the 50 U.S. states reporting cases. Its swift spread across the globe has forced many school closures, event cancellations and cutbacks in business travel.
Stocks on Monday suffered their biggest one-day drop since the 2008 financial crisis before recovering somewhat on Tuesday.
Edison found that when it comes to confronting a major crisis, about five out of 10 voters in Washington state, 49% in Michigan and 57% of voters in Missouri said they trusted Biden.
About three in 10 Democratic primary voters in each of those states said they trusted Sanders more than Biden.
Here are other highlights from Edison's exit polling in Michigan, Missouri, Mississippi and Washington. Edison did not conduct voter surveys in Idaho or North Dakota, which also held nominating contests on Tuesday.
The proportions may change as more polling is conducted and votes are tallied.
** Sanders won large majorities of voters under 30 years old in Michigan, Missouri and Mississippi, yet that group had a smaller impact on the results this year. Voters between 18 and 29 made up 12% of the Democratic primary electorate in Missouri, 10% in Mississippi and 15% in Michigan, down at least 4 percentage points in each state from 2016.
** African Americans mostly voted for Biden. Barack Obama's former vice president won 86% of the black vote in Mississippi, 69% in Missouri and 66% in Michigan.
** Hispanics made up 6% of Michigan's Democratic electorate, compared with 3% in 2016.
** Four out of 10 voters in the Washington state Democratic primary said they were "very concerned" about the coronavirus outbreak, while another four of 10 were "somewhat concerned." Washington has been the hardest hit by the health crisis of any state, with 24 deaths, nearly all of them in the greater Seattle area.
** Neither Sanders nor Biden can claim to have the more energized supporters. Four out of 10 voters in the Washington state Democratic primary said they would be 'enthusiastic' if Biden wins the nomination, while four of 10 said they would feel the same way if Sanders won. In Missouri, 41% of voters said they would be 'enthusiastic' if Biden wins the nomination, versus 35% who would feel the same if Sanders wins. In Michigan, 31% of Democratic primary voters said they would be 'enthusiastic' if Biden wins the nomination, while 39% said the same if Sanders wins.
** Most Democratic primary voters said they would line up behind the party's nominee regardless of who it is. That includes nine out of 10 voters in Washington and eight out of 10 voters in Michigan and Missouri.
** Only a small minority of Democratic primary voters said they would be "upset" if either Sanders or Biden won the nomination. One out of 10 voters in Washington and Michigan said they would be 'upset' if Biden won, while two of 10 said they would feel the same if Sanders wins.
** Thirty-two percent of Democratic primary voters in Michigan said they made up their minds in the last few days, compared with 20% in Mississippi and 25% in Missouri.
** Healthcare was by far the top issue in each of the states surveyed on Tuesday. Forty-three percent of Democratic primary voters in Michigan, 48% in Missouri and 43% in Mississippi named healthcare as a bigger concern than climate change, race relations or income inequality. Healthcare also was the top issue for four of 10 Democratic primary voters in Washington state.
** Among voters naming healthcare their top issue, a majority backed Biden in Michigan, Mississippi and Missouri, while a plurality backed Biden in Washington state.
