Happy Anniversary! This month, we celebrate Deltas 70th year as Atlantas hometown airline. See page 14 for a look back at Delta history.
elta Air Lines founder C. E. Woolman reached an agreement with Atlanta Mayor William Hartseld 70 years ago that changed our airline and the City of Atlanta forever. In exchange for an aordable, long-term lease, Mr. Woolman agreed to move the center of Delta operations from Monroe, Louisiana, to Atlanta. Deltathen with just 53 employees running 113 seats on eight ights a dayrelocated its headquarters to Atlanta in 1941. It was a pivotal moment not just for Delta, but for the promise of U.S. air travel.
2,200+
Surf from the sky on Delta! Wi-Fi is available on more than 550 aircraft, so you can work, play and stay in touch on more than 2,200 daily ights.
// The move planted the seed for Atlantas rise as the busiest passenger hub and Deltas eventual transformation into a leading global airline. Since 1941, metro Atlanta has grown from 800,000 residents to about 6 million today, while at the same time Delta has grown from eight Atlanta ights to more than 1,000 departures headed to approximately 220 points across the globe.
// Along the way, Delta and Atlanta together have recorded a lot of rsts: In the 1950s, Delta pioneered a concept in Atlanta that became known as the hub and spoke, which ultimately led to the development of the worlds largest airline hub in our hometown. In the 1970s, Delta launched the rst nonstop

hen you write and edit for a magazine geared toward passengers of a global airline, its safe to say that every month is a getaway issue. But I come from the world of subscription and newsstand magazines, and editors in this vein pay attention to the calendar. A change of season aects our state of mind as well as our wardrobe. No matter what you call itR&R, holiday, vacationit all adds up to an escape from the daily routine, and more often than not a change in climate. As we wrapped our arms around the cover story, we looked at some key cities (New York, Los Angeles, Rome and London, to name a few) and where people from those cities go to get away. Our buzzy and very busy cover girl, Eva Longoria, seemed a natural face for the story. Where does Eva get away when not taping in LA or involved with her restaurant in Las Vegas (speaking of getaway destinations)? For her, its all about the beach. One of my favorite vacation stories involves my friends daughter, Alalys. Seven years ago, the 7-year-old and her family were returning from a summer in Italy. As Ala settled into her businessclass seat, she began to watch a selection on her seatback-viewing screen, sipped her kiddie cocktail and enjoyed a snack. She looked over at her parents and yelled (she had her headphones on): This is the best day of my life! Youth reminds us that as we head through life, we also have to enjoy the ride.

As chief medical correspondent for CNN, Sanjay Gupta has reported from war-torn Iraq, covered the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and was one of the first reporters in Haiti after the 2010 earthquake. When he is not reporting, Gupta, a neurosurgeon, practices at Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta. He is also on the faculty of Emory University School of

Main Street is where you see the students mixing with the residents of Ann Arbor. There is a great town/gown relationship. Erin Gulden
Gupta says he has a special place in his heart for Palio restaurant. I met my wife there. She served at the restaurant while in law school, says Gupta. He and his wife, Rachel, make a point to bring their daughters to the Italian eatery each time they visit. palio restaurant.com
There are plenty of parks along Main Street, including Guptas favorite, Matthaei Botanical Gardens and Nichols Arboretum. I think it has every tree that is indigenous to that part of the country, Gupta says. Plus you can go kayaking. mbgna.umich.edu
The food scene is a highlight for Gupta, who says there are plenty of great mom-and-pop restaurants to compete with the chains. The names keep changing, he says, but theres always great Korean, a dozen sports bars, ice cream, whatever you want.
The Ark is one of those great small concert venues, Gupta says. The noted music hall supports folk and roots music: It is the kind of place where the Indigo Girls will go to play for a night. Wynton Marsalis and his brother Branford put on a great show there. theark.org

Q: I like carrying on my luggage for the convenience, but am still looking for the best gear. Whats your go-to carryon bag? A: Ive racked up more than a million frequent flyer miles with my fleet of Patagonia luggage. Theyre lightweight, have tons of useful sections and are virtually indestructible. I love the Half Mass (made from recycled fabric and coated with a water-resistant polyurethane) for an over-theshoulder bag, and the rolling duffels are perfect for the overhead bin. I even use Patagonias laptop bags, without sacrificing any gravitas when strolling into a business meeting.

Hong Kong
Top restaurants and tailor-made suits scratch the surface of this vibrant city.
If you call yourself a globetrotting eater of the highest order and you havent been to Hong Kong, you need to reevaluate your street cred. Hong Kong is one of the worlds top-ve food towns. Its also one of the most densely populated cities on the planet, and guring out whats where could take you a lifetime. Over the years, Ive accumulated a long list of favorites. First things rst, stay at the Peninsula, where you can expect luxurious rooms, a eet of British racing green Rolls Royce limousines for guest use and high tea in the hotel lobby 3. The hotels ultra-modern Felix 2 restaurant boasts a spectacular city view (especially from the restrooms), while the Spring Moon restaurant serves some of the best food on the planet; the crispy whole roast chicken served Peking Duck Style is sublime. Of course, there are more foodie wonders waiting outside of the hotel. For breakfast, the Chinese love congee, a rice 4 porridge that some Westerners consider bland. Give it a shot and put yourself in the hands of the chefs at Law Fu Kee, where they add dozens of mix-ins such as crispy pork skin or salted pickled vegetables. For a Western-style breakfast, hit up Australia Dairy Company in Kowloon, beloved for its light, uffy scrambled NO ONE DOES DIM eggs. For a quick lunch, I adore the shrimp dumpSUM BETTER THAN ling noodle soup at Maks Noodles and Kau Kees beef SUN TUNG LOK.

No trip to Hong Kong is complete without the total dim sum indulgence, and no one does dim sum better than the Michelin-threestarred Sun Tung Lok 4, located in Tsim Sha Tsui. Every morsel is made to order. Go for a smattering of dumplings and follow with specialty dishes such as braised abalone or barbecued pork. The Rainbow Seafood Room on Lamma Island is another dont-miss for great dim sum. One more food note: If you are up for a little urban exploration, head to the ultra-hip SoHo and NoHo neighborhoods. Both are packed with trendy bars and restaurants. While in Hong Kong, you have to do more than eat (or do you?). Make the pilgrimage to Sams Tailor for a custom suit. This small shop makes some of the worlds best, and past clients include Kate Moss, Bill Clinton and the British royal family. And there are a few special treats for artlovers visiting the city. On Hollywood Road, named 40-plus years before its Californian counterpart even existed, youll discover contemporary art galleries and antiques shops. Check out cross-cultural, conversation-inspiring pieces at the Sundaram Tagore Gallery, and avant-garde works from emerging Chinese and East Asian artists at the Connoisseur Contemporary.

The Book: As One: Individual Action, Collective Power The authors: Mehrdad Baghai is managing director of the Australia-based consultancy Alchemy Growth Partners. James H. Quigley is CEO of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu global consultancy. The Rating: This is one of the most beautifully designed books on organizational leadership ever published. Even better, it has some of the best content on the topic. Baghai and Quigley observe that most current thinking about organizational leadership focuses on a "very limited taxonomy, with two ways to generate collective action. One is the traditional command-and-control model, considered past its use-by date. The other is the new agileand-adaptive model, which is everything that command-and-control supposedly is notmore exible, more collaborative and, frankly, cooler. But that duality is far too simple. There are organizations and tasks that require a command-and-control approach, particularly where resources are scarce and decisions must be made quickly. And even a collaborative organization requires someone in charge in order to stay organized. The authors propose eight organizational strategiesa leader needs to determine which one is best for what the organization is trying to accomplish and realize that the choice may need to change over time. Laden with strong case studies and free of jargon, As One isnt an easily consumable airplane read; its a companion for contemplation that will open up new neural pathways to help current and aspiring leaders clarify their own thinking. Its layout is innovative. It would make a nice business gift, too. Gene Rebeck
There was a day when Hollywood had a well-known, if unspoken, pecking order: Stars started on the stage, graduated to network TV and then broke into lm. Once they became movie stars, the only network television appearance they made was to pick up an Academy Award. And cable? Well, if AMC had branded one of your lms a classic, that was OK. But the track is no longer linear; it's elliptical, and movie actors are having a big impact on the small screen. Take Glenn Close (FXs Damages), Laura Linney (Showtimes The Big C) and William H. Macy (Showtimes Shameless), all high-prole movie actors who are winning raves for their TV roles. And cable gave perennial sidekick Steve Buscemi a leading-man role in HBO's Boardwalk Empire, for which he won a Golden Globe and a Screen Actors Guild award. Cable roles have even upped the prole of middling lm actors such as Chlo Sevigny (HBOs Big Love), Emmy Rossum (Shameless) and Thomas Jane (HBOs Hung)who have perhaps extended their careers on cable. Why does cable have the edge? Financially, many cable networks have a dual revenue stream of advertising and subscriber fees, which means even small shows can afford big stars. Paycable services such as HBO and Showtime dont show ads, but they charge more per subscriber and can syndicate hits such as Sex and the City and Dexter. Artistically, since cable networks arent regulated by the FCC, shows can push the content envelope. And since cable series have fewer original episodes than do network series, actors can still nd time to do what made them stars in the rst place: Make movies.

Diane Lane, enabling communities through sustainability.
After learning about Heifer International more than five years ago, Diane Lane knew she needed to get involved. What initially drew me to Heifer International was that their vision extends far beyond providing immediate aid and finds solutions for families plagued by hunger and poverty, Lane says. In operation since 1944, the organization aims to end hunger and poverty while teaching sustainability and caring for the Earth by providing communities with gifts of livestock and agricultural training. The organization has helped more than 12 million families in 50 countries.

History Lesson //
Willett,
whose idea for DST became a bill that was presented to Parliament in 1908, but never became law. DST was rst adopted in 1916 to replace articial lighting and save fuel in Germany during WWI. Britain quickly followed suit, as did many countries on both sides of the war effort, including the United States. Did you know: More than 70 countries around the world recognize Daylight Saving Time.
In 1966, the United States Congress passed the Uniform Time Act, standardizing the length of the DST period. Hawaii and Arizona opted out by passing local ordinances.
Contrary to popular belief, the entire state of Indiana now recognizes DST, though prior to 2006, counties could choose whether to observe it.
George Vernon
In Antarctica, there is little daylight in the winter and near constant daylight in the summer, but research stations still observe DST so they can be in synch with their suppliers.

Seville

As the cultural capital of southern Spain, this ancient city is home to amenco dancers, Moorish architecture and a tireless nightlife scene.
Go There:
Although the storied city was settled more than 2,000 years ago, Seville has never been livelier. Find friends laughing over a few bottles of Rioja at the tapas restaurants that line the buzzing pedestrian thoroughfares. Grab a late-night bite at El Rinconcillo (one of Spains oldest bars, its history dates back to 1670) before taking in an authentic amenco show or heading to an all-night discothque such as La Carboneria, where the dancing continues well into morning. For the perfect place to rest, look no further than the EME Catedral Hotel. The inn boasts an ancient exterior with a modern, luxurious interior, and its situated right next to the Seville Cathedral, the oldest Gothic structure in Spain and the burial place of Christopher Columbus. emecatedralhotel.com, elrinconcillo.es Elizabeth Doyle

How: Anyone with access to a personal watercraft and a waterway can enjoy a unique tour through the city. Many modern PWC hold three or four people and have room for a picnic basket or cooler, so get ready to spend an entire day on the water.

When: Depending on where you live, spring and summer See familiar city sights from a new might be the best perspective. time for a ride.

British actor Ray Stevenson rose to prominence portraying scene-stealing and legionary Titus Pullo in HBOs memorable series Rome, and he most recently appeared in the action comedy The Other Guys and the postapocalyptic thriller The Book of Eli. Now starring as real-life, Irish-American gangster Danny Greene in Kill the Irishman, Stevenson, who was born in Northern Ireland and moved to England when he was 8, is back in his wheelhouse, playing a violent but engaging charmer. From Errol Flynns Captain Blood, Harrison Fords Han Solo, Johnny Depps Captain Jack Sparrow, the captivating rogue has long been a staple in movies. Now comes Stevensons Greene,

a charismatic thug who took on the Italian mob in Cleveland in the 1960s and 70s and went into business for himself, as he puts it in the movie. But with this nonctional character, as with Titus Pullo and Stevensons roles in two other movies hitting screens later this yearVolstagg in Thor and Porthos in The Three Musketeersthe actor nds nuance in their often-scoundrelly behavior. A heretofore gypsy who now lives in idyllic Ibiza o the coast of Spain with his anthropologist partner, Elisabetta Caraccia, and their little boy, Stevenson says he was knocked out by director/ writer Jonathan Hensleighs powerful story. Early on, Greene was a bit of thug. He grew up with the hard knocks. He would do the dirty with the dirty people, but there was a majestic quality about him, Stevenson says. He was called the Robin Hood of Collinwood. He helped out neighbors. When he survived the mob blowing up his house, people from all over came to help clear the rubble. Yes, he was a rogue, but later on, he had a plan to set things right and leave Clevelandso he had his dreams. He had his swagger and his way. Im not praising it, but he was one of the last great standup villains of his time. And the war against him helped cripple the mob. Another element of the movie that attracted Stevenson and the likes of Vincent DOnofrio, Val Kilmer and Christopher Walken was its setting: The 60s and 70s were the last great explosion of Americana, Stevenson says. Cars never got bigger. Crime itself got more sophisticated, more subversive. The criminals were larger than life. If they had business with you, they were in your face. Its got a Wild West feel to it, as welljust an amazing slice of America in that period with Danny Greene in the middle. So what is it about scoundrels that resonates with audiencesand actors? When we dramatists are at our best, we hold the mirror up to nature.
This movie was not the rites of passage of a teenager, this was a mans journey here. And there wasnt going to be some redeeming light at the end of the day. Hes human and awed like anybody else. But as a Celtic warrior of sorts. He still obeyed a code, a warriors code. Not coincidentally, the characters Stevenson plays in his other two movies this year are also warriors with, as his fans will be happy to learn, elements of Pullo in both of them. First is the Kenneth Branagh-directed and Marvel Comicsbased Thor, with Stevenson portraying Volstagg. Hes Falsta with muscles. A sexy, hedonistic warrior with a tendency to violence. But not surprisingly, Stevenson talked to Branagh about changing up the typical depiction of a shank-chomping, gluttonous god. Apart from when hes in battle, wielding his axe when hes the proverbial tank, I saw Volstagg as one of those twinkle-toed hippos in Fantasia. He will delicately slice cheese, but still make a 10-tier sandwich then devour it like an epicurean with a ne wine. A roguish Norse warrior god with a graceful sensibilitywho knew? Similarly, in The Three Musketeers, director Paul Anderson allowed the actors some range to play with their characters rather than sticking to another stock adaptation of Dumas classic novel. For Porthos, I decided that he has an affinity for cougars, wealthy ladies whod buy him the nery that he was accustomed to. Again, he loved to wine and dine, except he ghts like a pit bull and wields an Italian Schiavona, a beast of a thing. The lm was shot in 3-D, which also oered new challenges in the ght scenes. Stevenson explains that with conventional cameras, thrusts can be slightly o target. Normally, youre wielding around these chunks of metal coming close to eyes and face, but you can lay o a little. But in 3-D, the

Which, when youre ghting with multiple blades, was a massive challenge. Like Thor, its a rip-roaring tale! With these three movies, Stevenson says he has to pinch himself, because when he started lming Rome in 2005, he was going through a difficult time. It was the rogue Pullo who helped him through it.

Youve got to have an audience that can really engage and commit and go through the journey with you and, at the end of the day, believe you.
Rome really did change my life. I was going through a divorce. It was a pretty sad time. The work really sustained me. And the character Pullo himself also pulled me around. Pullo got the irony of life. He could be in jeopardy, and rather than moaning, he goes, Well, thats ironic! He still gets knocked about, but hes accepting of it. And that got me thinking, You have your passion and your dreams, but dont miss out on the career youre having or the life youre living today, rather than focusing on what you think you should have. So thank you, Pullo! From crime acionados to comic book fanboys to classic adventure enthusiasts, the demographics for all three movies are dierent, but the end goal is the same for Stevenson and his mates: Youve got to have an audience that can really engage and commit and go through the journey with you and, at the end of the day, believe you. Thats always my premise. Not whether you like me or the characters I do, but whether you believe me. If you do, then my work is done. //

Great Escapes //
As you cross the dramatic Pell Bridge into Newport, gaze down upon the tranquil, sailboat-dotted waters of Narragansett Bay and discover a brand of old-world romance pulled from the novels of Wharton and Fitzgerald. During the towns heyday in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, coal barons and railroad tycoons snapped up Newports oceanside real estate and employed the greatest architects of the dayRichard Morris Hunt, Stanford Whiteto erect palatial summer cottages in the vein of European castles. Today, Newport has a more egalitarian appeal, attracting Bostonians and New Yorkers looking to escape metropolitan hustle and bustle for relaxed seaside splendor. The Gilded Age mansions, which grandly march up Bellevue Avenue, are still among Newports chief attractions. While you could easily spend days wandering through the palatial halls and expansive courtyards (many with guided or self-guided tours), not to be missed are the 1915 Chinese Tea House on the grounds of Alva Vanderbilts baronial Marble House, Mrs.

Hermann Oelrichs 1902 Rosecliff and, of course, the legendary 70-room Italian Renaissance-style The Breakers, once the stomping grounds of Cornelius Vanderbilt II and his family. To be near the activity of downtown Newports shops and restaurants, book a bay-facing room with a balcony at the Hyatt Regency Newport on Goat Island. If you want a taste of mansion life, reserve a suite at The Chanler at Cliff Walk, a beautifully restored Gilded Age estate overlooking the sea. Another stunner is the just-revamped, boutique-style Vanderbilt Hall, located just off busy Thames Street (the hotels roof deck offers unparalleled views of the harbor, and there are dozens of cozy replaces). A well-oiled destination town, Newport provides a dizzying variety of activities. If touring someone elses home doesnt stoke your fancy, at the very least take a stroll along the picturesque Cliff Walk. Winding through more than three at Marcela Calve. Travelers of a more adventurous stripe will love the slew of recreational activities. Rent sea kayaks from Bristol Kayak Center to see the city from the sea; enjoy panoramic ocean views from horseback during a trail ride offered by Newport Equestrian Academy; or take an instructional tennis lesson (on a grass court) from the pros at the International Tennis Hall of Fame and Museum. All the activity is sure to fuel the appetite, and Newport offers a wonderful range of dining options. For breakfast, head to the Ocean Breeze Caf for the loaded Belgian waffles and lobster eggs Benedict. For a quiet lunch, try the historic White Horse Tavern, one of the oldest operating U.S. taverns, open since 1673. Seafood is the star herecreamy clam chowder, butterpoached lobster and re-roasted clamsbut turf also makes its mark on the menu. The steak frites are simple, delicious and generously priced at $15.

miles of backyards, where mammoth mansions loom over a rocky coastline and expansive beaches, the trail combines the magnicence of the Newport shoreline with an architectural chronicle of another age. The shopping in Newport is also a big draw, with tiny historic streets lined with boutiques nestled into charming, historic buildings. Spring Street is lled with antiques stores and art galleries; Thames Street hosts a mix of national retailers, including Banana Republic and Helly Hansen, as well as one-off boutiques such as costume jewelrypurveyor Sequin; and there are plenty of busy taffy- and T-shirt-selling shops on Bowens and Bannisters wharves. For higher-end shopping, head to Bellevue Avenue: Find designer cocktail and evening gowns at Badgley Mischka, epicurean cheese and charcuterie at Le Petit Gourmet, designer denim at Laura Jean Denim and luxury leather handbags
Mena Suvari, the actress best known for her role as the seductive cheerleader in the 1999 lm American Beauty, was born in Newport.
Where (Else) to Stay: For a tucked-away retreat, stay at the Castle Hill Inn & Resort. Situated seaside on 40 meticulously manicured acres, Castle Hill offers a bucolic retreat with stunning views and elegant gardens. For a truly private experience, book one of Castle Hills elegant beach cottages, each boasting its own small strip of beach. Where to Dine: From the stunning oor-to-ceiling water views and old-world luxe dcor, The Spiced Pear Restaurant at The Chanler at Cliff Walk hotel is bathed in romance. Chef Thomas Duffys dishes are both technically complex and tastefully playful, utilizing native New England ingredients. Standouts include the tangy big-eye tuna poke complemented by a small scoop of refreshing cucumber sorbet; succulent diver scallops served with English peas, herb gnocchi and roasted pearl onions; and a perfectly executed spiced pear souffl.

Jekyll Island, Georgia Theres a delicious, throwback glamour to this barrier island, located halfway between Savannah and Jacksonville. Book a room at the historic Jekyll Island Club, a turreted and crennelated National Historic Landmark, and try your hand at a spirited game of croquet while sipping Southsides.

Take a leisurely swim in the quiet waters of Port Phillip Bay, grab a suroard and confront the angry waves from Bass Strait or head for nearby Sorrento and swim with the dolphins. Spend an afternoon wandering around Point Nepean (a national park that was closed to the public for 100 years)where the Aussie bush will reveal kangaroos, wallabies and parrotsand then get lost in the labyrinth of tunnels at Fort Nepean. The eerie remoteness is sure to induce a little romance once you retire to the beachside Portsea Hotel.

I love the newly renovated Outrigger Reef on the Beach. Its been voted one of the best hotels in Honolulu. Its located right on Waikiki Beach Walk, where youll find great shops, restaurants, and fun Hawaiian activities.
Wibke B. Delta Vacations
The whole family will enjoy superior amenities and prime locations on the beach or just a few steps away. Upscale Outrigger hotels and condominiums are family-focused and mid-priced; OHANA hotels offer both quality and value. All locations are close to exciting entertainment and shopping, and offer guests personalized service and large, comfortable rooms to enhance your incredible Hawaii vacation.
If there is one thing we all need, its a holiday. Be it a weekend escape or a month on an island, theres nothing like a vacation. But does a Manhattanite slip off to the same place as a Brit? Whether by word of mouth (or simple logistics), birds of a regional feather often flock together.

I have been going to Miami for years, says Manhattan-based public relations guru Paul Wilmot. On a good day, I go door to door in ve hours, which is amazing. Like Wilmot, many New Yorkers steal away on long weekends to head south to the white-sand beaches and sparkling seas of sunny Florida. The air just smells dierent in Miami, Wilmot notes. It also helps that the South Beach set takes their cuisine just as seriously as their northern counterparts. Go-to restaurants include Michys (try the jamn-and-blue cheese croquetas with g marmalade), the southern outposts of Manhattan favorites Mr. Chow (Peking duck!) and Daniel Bouluds db Bistro Moderne (in downtown Miami) or newcomer Cecconis, located in the Soho Beach House. And while the Soho Beach House is a private club, nonmembers may dine at Cecconis and enjoy cocktails in the bar. New Yorkers stay in close proximity to the Beach House, ocking to the W South Beach and The Betsy Hotel to soak up the sun before dancing the night away at one of SoBes rollicking nightspots.

And since most of the population speaks French, it makes for an easy, albeit exotic escape for le beau monde.

When shes not on set, the sexy Eva Longoria loves to travel, and she loves food. With her Beso restaurants and an upcoming cookbook, the lovely Latina shares her spicy sensibility and family traditions.
AS UNCANNY AND DOWNRIGHT UNFAIR AS IT MAY BE, Eva Longoria has one of the sexiest silhouettes in
Hollywoodand she loves to eat. If Longoria was given a choice between partying all night in Las Vegas VIP-style, of courseor downing a bowl of her late Aunt Elsas tortilla soup, the soup would win out every time. Longoria is as quick to tick o the ingredients in some of her most memorable mealssome have happened on private yachts with her former husband, NBA star Tony Parker; others have taken place at her favorite Texas barbecue dive spot in San Antonio, tucked away behind the back of a gas stationas she is to recite lines from ABCs hit show Desperate Housewives, in which she plays the sultry character Gabrielle Solis. Work for Longoria happens on a sound stage; comfort comes in a kitchen. Anybodys kitchen. I usually end up in kitchens when Im traveling, Longoria says. You know, Tony and I had chartered a yacht a couple of years ago. We went to Italyobviously an amazing place to eatbut the chef on the boat was so amazing that we rarely ate o the boat. It was the simplicity of how he cooked. I mean, the olive oil on lettuce for the salad . . . with a little bit of this and a little bit of that. And what I learned in my travels, especially in Europe, is the simplicity of ingredients. In Italy, I had the greatest white beans Ive ever eaten in my life, and I was like, What is the secret? I went back to the kitchen and I talked to the chef. I had to. So naturally it makes sense that Longoria puts her money where her mouth is. Back in 2008, the Golden Globe-nominated actress partnered with celebrity chef Todd English and restaurateurs JT Torregiani and Jonas Lowrance to create Beso Hollywood, a avorful Latin steak house that is a see-and-be-seen spot for Hollywood luminaries and watchers. In 2009, she added to her restaurant enterprise by opening a location in Las Vegas, complete with a second-level private nightclub, EVE, where VIPs go to party like rock stars. The menu is inspired by dishes that Longoria inherited from Elsa, who she says was like a grandmother. In fact, her new cookbook, Evas Kitchen: Cooking with Love for Family and Friends, is full of dishes inspired by her aunt and Longoria family traditions, many of them highlighting Mexican cuisine, via Texas. I come from a family of cooksmy aunts and my mom, they all taught me how to cook at a very early age, starting when I was 5. I learned a lot from them. She is such a foodie that when she travels, she picks destinations partly based on what she wants to (Continued on page 99)

Its the season of March Madness. The office pool has been announced, and the bracket sheets are circulating for the best 68 college basketball teams competing for the Final Four and the NCAA championship. If enough of your co-workers get in on this, you might just win $100 after the nal game in Houston. But what if it were a lot more money? Anxious NCAA officials are in a tizzy about this. Weve heard of some pools that go as high as $300,000, says Rachel Newman Baker, the NCAAs director of agent, gambling and amateurism activities. When money is that big, its not a stretch that someone could have contact with one of our student-athletes to see if they could alter the outcome of the game. This conictbetting fun versus a nervous sports organizationis emblematic of a struggle that is being waged all around America today. And it will only get noisier as cash-strapped legislatures move to promote various gambling ventures all the better to tax them and save their cratered budgets. On top of that is the recent arrival of gambling apps for smart phones, a technology that might prove to be the biggest game-changer of all.

Gambling on sports is an activity that probably started with the cavemen, roughly two days after the rst horses were domesticated. In America today, the most popular sport to bet on by far is football, accounting for 43 percent of all wagers. The Super Bowl alone brings in nearly $100 million worth of bets to Nevada. Basketball has, however, been closing the gap in recent years and now accounts for 31 percent. Sports betting does not actually account for the lions share of the revenues for casinosthat would be slot machines. In fact, the margins on sports betting can be risky for casinos, as they found out after the 2008 Super Bowl. The New York Giants were pitted against the slightly favored New England Patriots, but thousands of New Yorkers bet hard on the home team, which barely beat the spread. The casinos took a huge hit. Still, as sports grow larger and larger in American culture, betting on them has risen accordingly. According to Marc Le owitz, an expert at the UCLA Gambling Studies Program, more than $100 billion is wagered on sports every year in America. This would indicate that a huge amount of illegal gamblingor at least under-the-table stuis going on, as the American Gaming Association asserts that $30 billion a year is spent in U.S. casinos. Unlimited gambling on sports is legal only in Nevada, where gambling was officially legalized in 1931 and where it was, in the old days, a highly controversial business. Three other states (Delaware, Montana and Oregon) allowed limited forms of sports betting in the past, such as parlays or sports lotteries, and have been allowed to keep them. Some form of gambling is allowed in 48 states now; only Utah and Hawaii have held out. Legal sports betting would be far bigger in America were it not for an imposing obstacle: the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992. This federal law is called PASPA, or the Bradley Act after its author, then-U.S. Senator Bill Bradley of New Jersey, once a star basketball player for the New York Knicks, who wanted to stop further attempts at increasing interstate sports gambling. The former forward got a lot of players involved in the issuethe NBA, the NFL, Major League Baseball, the NHL and the NCAA. Bradley has since retired, and New Jersey is now the state with the most active eorts to overthrow PASPA. Why? Well, there is the states current $10 billion budget decit. The tax revenues on gambling would certainly be helpful. Although the state gets money from some legal gambling in Atlantic City now, New Jerseys race tracks, which lately have been suering declining revenues, would get a chance to expand with sportsbook opportunities. Its ridiculous that we have a ban on sports betting when everybodys betting on sports, says the man leading the charge in New Jersey, State Senator Raymond Lesniak. The FBI has estimated that between $300 billion and $500 billion a RAYMOND LESNIAK, year is bet on sporting events, and its goNEW JERSEY STATE SENATOR ing to organized crime outlets or oshore Internet betting.

enues, as well as lining the pockets of organized crime or companies that dont pay taxes in this country. The other ridiculous aspect, he says, is that its allowed unabated in Nevada and in a limited extent in Delaware. And as a result, during Super Bowl week or Final Four week, Atlantic City is a deserted town and you cant get a room in Las Vegas. So thats a competitive disadvantage that our state and

other states are up against. In moves that are being closely watched by other states, Lesniak is pushing a state constitutional amendment that would allow betting (except gambling on amateur events) in Atlantic City and four racetrack locations, as well as on the Internet. Should New Jersey manage to get around PASPA, look for at least 12 other states to jump into sports
betting, too, including Texas, Florida, Michigan and Illinois. In California, where legislators have long been ticked o about all those Golden State gamblers jumping on the bus to Las Vegas or Reno, legal sports betting would change everything. Sports bets in Nevada run to nearly $3 billion. Meanwhile, in California it is presently a misdemeanor to bet on a sports event. Iowa, the rst state to open a riverboat casino in 1991, now has 20 casinos, and many legislators would love to expand their gaming boards to sports bets. Plenty of opponents have lined up, however, including Iowa State Senator Jerry Behn, who says that gambling is a tax on the people who can aord it the least. Indeed, with increased opportunities to gamble come a rising number of gambling addicts. In 1970, when Nevada was the only state with a casino, the Connecticut mom who wanted to bang some slots all night couldnt just take a one-hour

FAME EXCHANGE
atherine Hardwicke and Katie Orenstein are both fascinated by the tale of Little Red Riding Hood. Orenstein, the director of The OpEd Project, wrote Little Red Riding Hood Uncloaked: Sex, Morality, and the Evolution of a Fairy Tale. And Hardwicke, who directed Twilight and Thirteen, this month brings Red Riding Hood to the big screen as a romantic thriller about a town plagued by a werewolf and a girl in love with the wrong sort of boy. And you thought you knew the story.
that remind me of stories Ive looked at or read from centuries ago. By the way, I read the script and I loved it. CH: That is so cool. I didnt know that; that is awesome. KO: Catherine, I dont know if you thought about this when you were creating it, but what is so interesting about the modern history of fairy tales is that in the last generation or so there has been this idea that fairy tales are these psychic landscapes for young people to become adults. The person that popularized that was Bruno Bettelheim, the psychologist who wrote a very famous book, The Uses of Enchantment. He studied and referenced the most popular versions of those storiesthe versions of the fairy tales by Charles Perrault and the Brothers Grimm. And although those are very popular, well-known versions of the stories, they are actually not the true versions, if there is such a thing. And theyre very, very dierent from the oral history of fairy tales in general, and in this particular case, Little Red Riding Hood. It has a really dramatically dierent oral history that most people arent aware of, and its reected in some ways in your movie. The early oral history is not properits very bawdy, has elements of sex, cannibalism and violence, but most of all it has a really intriguing, powerful and clever heroine. CH: Weve had some audience screenings where people found the lm very unpredictable and fun and surprising, because we do have a twist ending and a whodunit ending, which of course we cant talk about in this interview. We keep a mystery of who is the wolf, and that is one of our central mysteries in the lm. It has surprised people on several levels. This is a fairy tale where the girl doesnt get married in the end; this girl stays independent throughout the lm. She is struggling, though, to try to gure out if she should obey her parents, do what they want her to do, do the right thing, enter into the right marriage or follow her own heart and nd her own way. And I think that is what you see Amanda Seyfrieds character doing, trying to gure it out. The things we all try to gure out, even on a simple level: Do you go with the safe boyfriend or the exciting one or the risky one? Danger or safety?
Katie Orenstein: Catherine, its lovely to meet you. Catherine Hardwicke: Your book is so awesome, I love it. Its really interesting and fascinating. Im sad my movie is coming out after the book, that it couldnt be part of it. KO: Thank you! Well, what drew me to the story apart from the fact that red is my favorite coloris that its one of the most global of human stories. Especially when you look at narratives about women, this is one of the mostif not the mostrecurrent plot lines. You look at it, not just as a fairy tale, but as a narrative that crosses over every genre, across every continent and every century. CH: I, of course, loved it as a kid, and I used to play and build stu out in the dirt, little villages and towns. Ive always loved creating little fantasy worlds, role-playing with dolls and crazy stu. For me to be able to make a movie about this, and dive into the story on all dierent levels was like a dream come true. Ive always been connected to the story of Little Red Riding Hood, in ways I didnt even understand until I read your book. KO: There is no rst version or last version of this story. Stories get told and retold, and so inevitably we end up incorporating and reiterating themes of past and future, which get wrapped up all together. There are a lot of things in the Red Riding Hood script

KO: Almost all fairy tales deal with, as a central theme, the notion of coming of age, which is why so many of them end in marriage, by the way, which is sort of a social recognition or social symbol of adulthood. CH: I love some of the things, Katie, you said in your book about subverting the notions or blurring the lines between old and young, and that the grandmother and Red Riding Hood are one person. I mean, Amanda and Julie [Christie, who plays the grandmother] look alike, their bodies are exactly the same right now, and we dressed them alike. And there are all these fun kind of parallels. We really dove into all the details; we created an architecture of paranoia and fear, where the people have been menaced by the wolf for 20-something years. All the houses are built up on stilts with ladders that can be pulled in on full moon nights. We were trying to build the symbolism into the architecture, into the set. And just the idea of taking such an iconic image of the red capeif you go online or look in storybooks, for several hundred years people have been painting this, reinterpreting this. Graphic artists in Japan are doing cool graphics of it. Its an amazing image and design. I felt this great obligation: Whats the most wonderful cape we can come up with? And we ended up with a sewing circle of 14 women in Vancouver, embroidering this cape. So, in every directionmusic, hairstyleseverything was fun and interesting in creating these emotional characters. And then nding the relationship between the characters, the secrets and lies that are revealed, is pure joy.
CH: Its hovering around 6 or 7 percentand even less for studio lms. It is sad, but true. KO: That dramatically shapes the stories that we get. It doesnt just shape the fairy tales that we get, it shapes the reality that we get, the important conversations of our age. It also aects whose brains we get to hear from. We are missing a huge percentage of the worlds brains and brainpower. That is one reason why I study stories and why I love this particular story and, Catherine, why I think its so great that youve reinvented this story in this way. Youve reinvented this story in a way that I highly doubt a man would have. The versions of this story that have been told by men are typically very, very dierent, and why not? Why would that be surprising? But the versions of this story that the entire world knows best are versions that have been told by men, and the social lessons of those stories are very precise and very clear. They are hugely about obedience and chastity, and the popular interpretation is: Dont speak to strangers.
KO: You know, stories are how we assign meaning to our lives and to the world; we live in this universe, and what does it all mean? Stories are built to explain and also to inspire and to control a lot of what we see. The werewolf and the witch trials in the 16th and 17th centuries were largely about controlCH: Thank you. Also, I think its the rst studio movie ever ling aberrant behavior. But the stories we tell are designed also with a female cinematographer and costume designer, to do all of those things, and whoever tells them ends up editors, producers and a female lead. We have a very girl writing history and shaping the way we see and understand power group going.

1 Making a margarita 2 Whole roasted sea bream 3 Serving the caesar salad 4 Chef Judy Rodgers 5 Sitting at Zunis bar.
THE ATMOSPHERE: This is a beloved San Francisco institution that was serving seasonal and local way before it was trendy. What I love about Zuni Caf is that its over 30 years old and it feels as crisp and lively and on-point as if it were only in its rst year, Hamilton says.
WHY IT MATTERS: Chef Judy Rodgers restaurant feels still vital and pertinent, not like a hot new trend of the moment, or a beloved wornand-tired institution, Hamilton says. GO-TO DISH: The caesar salad: I love, love, love the fact that she does not abandon the item because it is so out of trend, Hamilton says. But I also love that I can eat something more challenging there as well. I remember a whole roasted sea bream, and I was so thrilled that the chef did not shy away from serving such a difficult, bony sh. WHY A RESTAURANT IS LIKE A MARRIAGE: Chef Rodgers devotion to her restaurant is one that I aspire to for my own, Hamilton says. Its so tempting to open new place after new place and to scratch all your itches, and when you bore or tire of the one you originally opened, to just hatch another in order to experience the thrill of the new. But I see staying with your restaurant as something akin to a marriageyou cant just up and leave it when you are a little bored.

I so admire that the founders, Ari Weinzweig and Paul Saginaw, are committed to that. They could get away with so much less, but they dont. BEST SANDWICH EVER: Hamilton loves the Nates Nosh: corned beef, chopped liver, Russian dressing and coleslaw on an onion roll. WHY IT MATTERS: Its so relieving to be in the Midwest, in a university town, and to be able to buy excellent naturally yeasted breads with true crusts, olive oil from small producers around the world and true Iberico ham or smoked pimenton, Hamilton says, along with the best cheeses and meats and baked goods, always using 100 percent real sweet butter, fresh eggs, excellent-quality chocolate and so on.

THE CENTER FOR REGENERATIVE MEDICINE A NON-SURGICAL TECHNIQUE TO FIGHT AGAINST ARTHRITIS AND SPORTS INJURIES
The Knee Diaries: SJ is a 60-year-old male with the chief complaint of knee pain who visited The Center for Regenerative Medicine over a year ago. He was diagnosed with bone-on-bone osteoarthritis of the left knee, causing much pain and discomfort; at that point he was told only a total knee replacement could help him. He is otherwise healthy. On exam he had point tenderness to the medial side of the left knee (medical lingo: inner side). An X-ray showed severe arthritis of the knee (X-ray on the left). Patient started receiving treatments at The Center for Regenerative Medicine. Today he is feeling better (X-ray on the right). This is how it works: The physician introduces Cell Therapy into damaged, arthritic cells by means of a precise injection. This process is followed by infrared laser as well as several other modalities, including Collateral Artery Flow Exercises (C.A.F.E.), in order to accelerate the process. Depending on tissue damage, severity of the condition and the size of the joint that needs to be injected, people usually need a series of 1 to 6 treatments to improve. There is usually no downtime, and people can go back to their usual activities or work immediately.

(Eva Longoria continued from page 75) experience at the table. This last summer I went to Croatia, and they have the most amazing Italian food, because they were ruled by Venetians for so many hundreds of years. They have amazing pizzas and pastas in Croatia, she says. I went to Moscow, and they were using beets with everything. I mean the soup of favor is the beet soup, borscht. I love beets; theyre one of my favorite vegetables, so I loved going to Moscow. Or with Greeks, its kind of lamb, lamb, lamb. Mexico its chile, chile, chile. Its interesting to travel and see how food has evolved within these regions. Last year Longoria juggled writing the cookbook in between lming her TV show and shooting two upcoming lms: Cristiada, a Mexican period piece that chronicles the historic Cristeros War, and Without Men, a lm in which she stars with Christian Slater and Oscar Nunez, about a remote Latin American village where the women must fend for themselves after the men are forced to ght with a band of Communist guerrillas. Longorias cookbook comes out in April, and she said a lot of trial and error went into putting it together. Oh, my gosh, she sighs, Im the kind of cook that does a pinch of this and a dash of that. So to actually have to put pen to paper and get the recipes out of my head and into the book was the most difficult task ever. Is it a half a cup of sugar? I think so. I dont know. I usually just throw in some sugar! The cookbook is an extension of a long-held Longoria tradition: Every time someone gets married in the family, the new bride is presented with a wedding cookbook lled with the dishes that appear on the familys dinner tables. Each family member is required to submit one recipe, and then we print out a book and we give it to the bride, so shes kind of armed for being a cook and being able to prepare some food for us, Longoria says. I thought, what a great idea to actually put down all these recipes and share them with the rest of the world and share them with my fans and with family and friends. Did she face any backlash from family members? After all, there are some pretty coveted recipes in the Longoria clan. No, no, Longoria insists. My familys centered around food. All of our gatherings are centered around food and cuisine, so they love the idea of sharing that beautiful tool with people in the rest of the world. Of course, those who arent inclined to cook can always travel to Vegas or Los Angeles; dining at one of Longorias restaurants is designed to be like sitting in her kitchen. This is more than a celebrity restaurant. I want to keep up the foodrst and foremostand then the service, she says. The fact that Im attached to it means that it reects highly on me as a person. So Ive always treated Beso, the restaurant, as my extended living room. I want these people treated as if theyre entering my home. //

hen Forbes magazine names Utah the best state for business and careers, its easy to understand why the worlds most recognized companies are beating a path to Utahs door. Adobe Systems, Sephora, eBay, Oracle, Disney Interactive Studios and Procter & Gamble are just a few big names that have either expanded or relocated to take advantage of Utahs low corporate tax rate (5 percent), cheaper energy costs (35 percent below the national average), location at a central point for distribution along the Canada-to-Mexico corridor and Triple-A bond rating. Its a perfect business package only made sweeter when you look at Utahs work force. The state has the youngest median age in the countrya mere 29 yearsand a high literacy rate with more than 130 languages spoken. What the business community nds in Utah is a young, energetic, tech-savvy and multilingual labor force, says Utah Governor Gary R. Herbert. If youre a business looking to succeed in a global economy, theres already a talent pool to draw from here that oers an instant global edge unseen in most states. The combination of Utahs economic assets adds up. The state has kept its spot as one of the top-ve job-producing states for the last three years, boasts an unemployment rate of only 7.4 percent (compared to the nations average of 9.5 percent) and it was the only state in the nation to increase its exports last year. Its no coincidence that we ended up where we are today economically, says Spencer Eccles, executive director of the Governors Office of Economic Development. Five years ago, we set a goal to be number one in business, and with that, we put a very decided pathway in place to make that goal become a reality. Part of that economic initiative was identifying Utahs strongest sectorswhich include aerospace and aviation, defense and homeland security, energy and natural resources, the life sciences, outdoor products and recreation, IT and software development, lm and nancial services. Utah has 15 of the top 20 industrial banks in
the country and is the largest industrial bank state in the nation. Its that kind of monetary mastery that makes the region a perfect t for the industrys MVPs, such as the nationwide fullservice Zions Bank (which is headquartered in Salt Lake City) and Goldman Sachs.

When we get a new company that comes to visit, we get all the right people in the same room, roll up our sleeves and gure out whatever needs to be done to get them here, says Je Edwards, president and CEO of the Economic Development Corporation of Utah. No detail is ignored, from the amount of land required by a company to build its facility to the type of work force needed once theyre ready to open shop. In 2009, that type of attention helped Utah secure 23 relocation, retention or expansion projects and a commitment of $1.4 billion of new capital investment into the state. But another incentive responsible for all that growth is Utahs economic development tax increment nancing program, a postperformance, refundable tax credit that gives companies a refund of up to 30 percent of new state revenues (sales taxes, corporate taxes and withholding taxes paid to the state)so long as they are creating new jobs and opportunities in Utah. We try to keep government o your back and out of your wallet to empower the private sector to create jobs, which has enabled us to be very successful, says Herbert. It really is about creating jobs, jobs and jobs, not only for those of us that are here now, but the rising generations that will come after us.

HOW ITS GROWN: In 2005, we acquired Salomon from adidas, and at that point, we made the decision in the U.S. to integrate our winter and outdoor brands into one location, says Mike Dowse, president and GM of Amer Sports Americas 2 .

f youve ever played a video game, used anything on your computer with the name Adobe attached to it or popped in Toy Story to entertain your kids, you owe a debt of gratitude to Utah. Photoshop, Silicon Graphics International, SCI, WordPerfect Office and Pixar Animation every single one of these innovations was started by a University of Utah graduate, says University of Utah president Michael K. Young. Even Nolan Bushnellthe creator of the worlds rst arcade game [Computer Space], who later went on to develop the popular game Pong and create Atari was a native Utahn who went to U of U. Its not just U of U thats responsible for making the state one of the most technologically advanced in the nation. When you take Utahs expertise in engineering at U of U and institutions such as Brigham Young University and Utah State University and combine it with the states knack for training valuable technicians (through Utah Valley University, Weber State University and Southern Utah University), companies have access to a multiskilled, tech-smart work force thats always on the pulse of the industrys needs.

The state has more than 5,200 high-tech companies located within its borders, as well as a long tradition as one of the leading authorities in cutting-edge software development and IT industriesincluding wireless technologies, systems management and security, digital media and entertainment technology and Web services and high-performance computing applications. Its that ow of available talentalong with the states tech-friendly atmospherethat continues to inuence the industrys most prominent players to ock to Utah. One example is Adobe Systems Incorporatedone of the worlds largest and most diversied software companieswhich recently acquired Omniture (a homegrown software company founded by two BYU students) for $1.8 billion and expanded its operations into Lehi, Utah. But thats not the only tech titan youll now nd in that region. Another company based in Lehi is Intel Micron Flash Technologies, the world leader in process technology for NAND ash memory (the type used in memory cards and USB ash drives). In fewer than ve years, the companya joint venture between Micron and Intelstarted with a zero market share in the NAND ash memory industry and now owns a staggering 15 percent of it. That success has allowed IM Flash to generate more than $2 billion in revenue annually

and employ more than 1,500 people locally. That growth comes from being based in a place that understands, appreciates and supports technologybased business. We have enjoyed strong support from the state when it comes to taxation, regulation and infrastructure, says Keyvan Esfarjani, executive officer of IM Flash. This supportalong with our leadership in the most advanced technology and manufacturinghas helped the competition thrive and allowed us to compete globally. Much like Adobe and IM Flash, many of Utahs newest businesses cover everything from educational software to electronic advancements. But the state is also hard at work attracting companies that are responsible for entertaining the world. As the birthplace of the video game, Utah is teeming with game development studios, including Disney Interactive Studios Avalanche, the business leg that focuses on creating games inspired by Disney characters, TV shows and entertainment franchises specically for Nintendo. The most recent tech transplant is Electronic Arts Inc., a leading global interactive entertainment software company. Its the company behind some of the industrys greatest titles, including EA Sports Tiger Woods and Madden franchises, the entire Sims brand, the Playsh branded games on Facebook and Angry Birds for your mobile devices, just to name a few. Electronic Arts Salt Lake creates games for just about every major video game platform, which is why choosing a location with an adaptable infrastructure capable of handling every aspect of its business was essential. Unlike many industries that evolve slowly, our industry changes pretty much every yearfor example, the sudden move to games on hand-held devices like mobile phones, iPads and even on Facebook, says Jon Dean, EA Salt Lakes executive producer. We constantly have

to anticipate the future needs of the consumer, which is why having complementary technology businesses already in place here in Utah is an advantage not just to ourselves, but to anybody in the game development sector. Another important asset EA Salt needs is a good, existing talent base to pull from. It was a request easy enough to fulllthanks to the volume of studios already based herebut the prize perk to the entertainment industry is Brigham Young Universitys Center for Animation. The center teaches students the skills necessary to succeed in the animation, live-action, special eects and game industry, says R. Brent Adams, director for the center for animation at BYU. Over the last seven years, lms produced through the program have won 10 student Emmys and four Student Academy Awards, a testament to why graduates have gone on to work at Disney, DreamWorks Animation, Bluesky (Ice Age) and Weta Digital (the visual eects company behind Lord of the Rings and Avatar). That earned expertise doesnt applies not only to Hollywood and high-caliber video games, but to industries such as health care (creating 3-D lms to show how a virus or type of drug reacts with the body, for example) and even the automotive industry, where students from BYU are in the process of helping General Motors create visualizations of concept cars. We joke that we teach people how to make cartoons, but the reality is, entertainment is one of the biggest dollar exports out of the United States when you look at movies, games and music combined, says Adams. Its an economic driver thats too large to ignore, but in Utahs case, its one thats far from overlooked. Instead, its just another area of technology, in which the state excels to accelerate its ever-growing economy.

University of Utahs AirMed
he state known for its mountains is equally known for revolutionizing medicine, as well as some of the most industry-changing breakthroughs in biotechnology and geneticbased innovations. Utahs prime position in life sciences research has kept the state on the forefront of inventing groundbreaking products ranging from specialty pharmaceuticals to drug delivery systems and medical devices (it produces 70 percent of all arterial and vascular access devices throughout the world). The state is home to The Utah Population Database, the largest and most complete popula-
tion database in the nation. Used for biomedical research, UPDB contains the medical and family history of 6.4 million individualsfrom the details of their birth right up to the cause of their death. For researchers, UPDB has become one of the most valuable tools in the last 35 years to advance personalized medicine, helping scientists do everything from tracing specic genetic mutations to their source to pinpointing specic causes of cancer and other diseases. With more than 26,000 Utahns employed in the life sciences industry, the region ranks second nationally in overall industry growth. One of the strongest drivers behind that surge is Utah
Intermountain Healthcare

Utah is the second-healthiest state in the nation. Its residents also have the third-longest life expectancy in the nation, living an average of 78.6 years. You can credit the fresh air and open spaces for all that longevity, but its Utahs high-quality, low-cost health care that gives nature a helping hand. With major players in the region such as St. Marks Hospital and University of Utah Health Care (consistently ranked among US News & World Report s Best Hospitals), residents of the Beehive State also enjoy the lowest per-capita costs for health care in the nation. Its a surprising savings that allows more than 84 percent of Utahs population to have health insurance coverage. But that peace of mind never comes at the expense of access to quality. One such standout is Intermountain Healthcare, the states largest medical provider (and one of Utahs largest employers). Recognized as one of the top- ve health systems in the
United States for 11 consecutive years, Intermountain is also nationally respected for its cost-competitive, high levels of care. We dont think high health care value is a partisan issue. Its just doing it the right waya way that leads to both higher quality health care and lower costs, says Greg Poulsen, senior vice president at Intermountain. That stance may explain why both President Obama and Newt Gingrich have cited Intermountain as an example of health care done right.

he Beehive State may have earned its insectinspired nickname from its industrious backbone, but it earned its wings by being one of the top states in the nation in aerospace. Home to Hill Air Force Base (one of the largest military bases in the country and second largest employer in the state), Utah has a 70-plus-year history in aviation and aerospace development and manufacturing. With seven colleges and universities oering specialized programs and the Utah Test & Training Range (the biggest overland test range in the Department of Defense) in its backyard, that ight-friendly atmosphere has enticed many defense, aviation and aerospace contractors to Northern Utah. Just a handful of big-time players that soar in
the state include Northrop-Grumman, The Boeing Company, Lockheed Martin, ATK Aerospace Systems (the worlds largest supplier of solid propellant rocket motors and a leading supplier of military and commercial aircraft structures) and Hexcel, one of the largest U.S. manufacturers of high-performance carbon ber (the company supplies much of the ber used in aircraft fuselages, wings and control surfaces across the globe). Helping to push the states future in ight to new altitudes is the Utah Center for Aeronautical Innovation and Design, a professional-level engineering research and development laboratory wholly owned by Weber State University in Ogden. What UCAID does on behalf of the state is

work with Americas aviation and aerospace community to assist them to be economically viable and competitively strong and to keep jobs not only in Utah, but by extension, the nation, says its executive director, Bradley J. Stringer. Its a business blueprint thats actually keeping you safer as you read thisespecially if youre already o the tarmac. One of UCAIDs roles is the sustainment of aging aircraft, which includes the nations commercial and military eet, says Stringer. It does this by guring out ways to phase out traditional materials used in aircraft (such as aluminum and titanium) and replace them with lighter, stronger, corrosion-immune carbon-ber composites to prevent corrosion and fatigue. For example, UCAID designed a carbon ber spring to replace titanium springs used in the doors of all Boeing 767schanging out just eight springs per plane made each aircraft nearly 1,000 pounds lighter. Utah has one of the highest concentrations of advanced composites companies in the nation. In addition to making more fuel-efficient and maintenance-free aircraft, the industry is designing unmanned vehicle systems, thanks in part to a mandate by the Department of Defense to
have one-third of its vehicle eet be unmanned by 2015. This may have been a challenge to most states, but Utah has been ready to tackle it for a long time. UCAID is already busy designing expendable, inexpensive hovercrafts for the U.S. Air Force to use for battle training. (Before that, pilots practiced strang targets by chasing an old discarded personnel carrier dragged by a slower, less-maneuverable tank.) But the laboratory is far from alone, with other companiessuch as Flying Sensors Productions, LLC, and Kairos Autonomialso at the forefront of ground robotics systems and unmanned aircraft. Our legislative leaders, along with the presidents of our universities, are taking a very proactive approach to make Northern Utah a world-class center for aviation and aerospace, says Stringer. In many respects, Utah is already there, but were building upon what we already have here to make sure we stay there.

or 10 days every January, more than 40,000 lm industry professionals and lm enthusiasts descend on Park City to attend the Sundance Film Festival, one of the worlds most prestigious independent lm events. Its where the rest of us hear the rst rumblings about the lms well soon fall in love withand the next generation of independent names behind all that cinematic genius. The festival was born out of the desire to share some of the new, independent work with audiences in Park City, says Keri Putnam, executive director of the Sundance Institute. Since the festival began in 1978 (it was formally known as the U.S. Film Festival until 1985), the event has introduced audiences to many of todays standout directors, including Quentin Tarantino, Steven Soderbergh and Kevin Smith. Its also where movies such as Little Miss Sunshine, American Splendor, An Inconvenient Truth and The Coveand most recently, the critically lauded Winters Bonerst got their shot. But when the media excitement ebbs and the
festival comes to a close, you can be certain that Utah is grateful for what all those visitors have left behind. According to the Bureau of Economic and Business Research at the University of Utah, attendees spent a total of $49.7 million during the 2010 festival ($43.6 million of which came from out-of-state residents). As tremendous as that economic impact may be, the investment is overshadowed by the global attention the festival brings to the state. As one of the most signicant cultural events in the world, we draw a global audience that also gets to see and experience the state of Utah and how wonderful it is in all of its aspectsnot just its nature, but the culture here as well, says Putnam. Its a spotlight that the Utah Film Commission appreciates. When you get 10,000 lmmakers in your state that you didnt have there the day before, you have the opportunity to present Utah as a destination for their next project, says Marshall Moore, Utah Film Commission director.

tival truly isand always has beenthe perfect stage for showcasing Utah to the industrys elite. Even though the Sundance Film Festival helps bring capital and commitments to Utah, what sometimes gets ignored by the masses is the culture that the organization behind the eventthe Sundance Institutehelps develop and deliver on a global scale. Were an organization that is very much in the public eye for 10 days in January with our lm festival, says Putnam, and when people look at all of the excitement and energy around itwhich is wonderfulthey sometimes tend to forget that were a not-for-prot organization that operates all year long. Founded in 1981 by director and actor Robert Redford, the Sundance Institute was started as a means to oer professional resources to lmmakers, writers and actors to work on their independent lm projects and help them exhibit their work. In three decades, the institute has grown beyond its initial vision by becoming an internationally recognized resource not only for independent lmmakers, but for theater artists and lm composers as well. Through a series of grants, fellowships and working labs that bring new artists together with experienced mentors in the eld to advance their projects, the Sundance Institute and its year-round programs have contributed to the development of more than 300 feature lms, 500 documentary lms and 200 plays. Just a few success stories sprung from Sundances labs have been the rst works of now-renowned lmmak-

Over the history of the institute, Sundance has supported more than 5,000 artists in 174 countries, says Putnam. Our mission and purposeto discover and develop independent artists, then connect their work with audiencesis something we do 365 days of the year around the world, but all that hard work is based right here in Utah. Sundances collaborative spirit may seem like just another instance of how Utahns understand the importance of working together to move an industry forward. But in many ways, it may be the states most recognized example of the power of partnership. There really is a sense that Sundance is not just a global ambassador for the arts, creativity and all that we stand for, but an ambassador for the state as well, says Putnam. Its a leading role of responsibility thats not lost on SundanceUtahs most valuable artistic asset.

Utahs rare mix of dierent locales has enabled the state to be the backdrop for some of Hollywoods biggest blockbusters. 2001: A Space Odyssey, Easy Rider, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and Thelma & Louise are just a sprinkling of the movie magic thats rained down on Utah over the decades. Soon, it will add the biggest-budget lm shot in the United States in 2010the upcoming Walt Disney sci- thriller John Carter of Marsto its list. But its not just limitless vistas that make cameras roll here. Currently, we oer a 20 percent cash rebate program, based on a $1 million minimum direct spend in the state, says Marshall Moore, director
of the Utah Film Commission. Its an incentive Utah hopes to extend for at least ve more years and possibly increase to as high as 30 percent. Even though our percentage may not match up to some states, were told by producers who come and work here that when you do the math, Utah makes perfect sense, says Moore. He attributes the total savings to a variety of perks, including lower statewide expenditures, abundant postproduction facilities and the ease of accessibility from Los Angeles. When you add the incentive program to Utahs built-in benets, it can make a big-budget production more manageable cost-wise, says Moore. Its a dierence that lets movie and TV studios focus more on getting the perfect shotand less on the price tag.

Its also the regions heart when it comes to state and local government, culture, tourism and nance. If you put your nger down in the center of the Western United States, it would land right on SLC, says Mayor Ralph Becker. We are a transportation crossroads because of our location, but thanks to many other factors in play here, we have become a unique core thats vital to a very large region. An unequalled economic package continues to cause leading rms to relocate here, including EA Sports, the Royal Bank of Scotland, Goldman Sachs and Questar Corporation. The inux of new companies looking to move to Salt Lake City has inspired a mix of progressive projects designed to guarantee that SLC always has what big businessand its many employeesneed to work, live and play.

building a 24-7 residential population in downtown Salt Lake City. Part of that metamorphosis will take advantage of our exceptionally strong tradition in the performing and visual arts to establish a cultural scene that will be superb for a city of our size. Among the many plans under way to create an arts and culture district to please the locals yet lure the touristsare a year-round public market, a Broadway-style performing arts center and the Leonardo, a science, technology and art museum set to open in spring 2011. Other changes helping to repaint the face of SLC include some policy changesincluding lessrestrictive zoning ordinances, along with a retooling of the once-conservative liquor laws. For a long time, we used to make people jump through a hoop when they wanted to go into a bar, but thats all changed now, says Jason Mathis, executive director of the Downtown Alli-

ance and executive vice president of the Salt Lake Chamber of Commerce. All of these recent changes are adding up and making it easier for bigger, more inuential projects to nally take shape in the city. Theres an attitude of enthusiasm and excitement here thats in stark contrast to many other communities, says Mathis. While other regions have slowed down in construction and projects have ground to a halt, things have moved forward aggressively and rapidly in SLC. The venture most talked about right now is City Creek, a redevelopment project by the LDS church that will soon bring a new urban, worldclass style of living to Salt Lake Citys downtown. The billion-dollar projectwhich involves reshaping nearly 23 acres of downtown SLCwill add 800 residential units, more than 2 million square feet of office space, 5,000 underground parking spots and close to 1 million square feet of retail stores and restaurants. The end result: a walkable, self-sustainable community that (when completed in March 2012) will make SLC one of only a handful of cities in America with its own vibrant, mixed-use development right at its center. Its an engineering marvel thats taken more than 7 million hours of manpower so far to set in motion, but City Creek is something the LDS church insists has been a long time comingboth for residents and visitors alike. Being the birth parents of this community has given us a special interest over the years, says Bishop H. David Burton. We hope that [City Creek] will be an economic incentive and a spark plug for additional developmenteconomically, culturally and community-wise, all of the things that great cities need to have in order to provide everything for their citizens. With all of the pieces nearly in place, the only thing missing in Salt Lake City is a faster, more eective way to get there and enjoy thembut thats where the city has already thought of everything. Were already ahead of the curve with most cities in having a strong transit system to complement our highway system, says Becker. The mayor is most proud of the FrontLines 2015 Program, a project that will add 70 miles of new rail lines by 2015. Right now, downtown SLC has two light rail lines that connect the city directly to the University of Utah and the southern part of the valley, says Becker. The four new light rail lines under construction will soon link the region to West Valley City (one of the largest cities in the state), West
and South Jordan, Draper and Salt Lake City International Airport with an additional commuter rail that will connect it to Provo. Once we complete everything thats under way here, we will have a dynamic, business-driven and culturally rich downtown that you can reach via commuter rail, light rail, car and planea place where you wont need a vehicle to get around once you get here, says Becker. All of these investments wont just make us that much more attractive for residents, businesses and visitors alike, but it will give us a downtown that will easily become a model for other cities in the 21st century.

butcher shops, bars and claim offices dating back to the late 1800s still retain their faades, and sometimes their interiors, but the old town residents could never have imagined the variety and level of dining that energize the street today. With 200 businesses, including 50 restaurants (not a chain among them), its still the heart of a much-expanded Park City. Its also the trailhead, with a Town Lift to Park City Mountain Resort, and is one of the areas most desirable residential neighborhoods, now occupied by 1,373 residents. You can explore the narrow streets of old and new homes and condos on either side of Main by way of a series of long, steep staircases that date back to mining days, but have been revamped with metal snow- and skiboot-friendly stairs. With all those restaurants to choose from, you wont go hungry or thirsty, but you may drain your wallet at local boutiques. The street also boasts the Park City Museum, Kimball Art Center and two terric independent bookstores. For a romantic dinner, try Wahso, a Shanghaistyle Asian fusion restaurant, and for a lovely lunch, Caf Terigo. Finally, dont miss Mountain Body Spa for a locally crafted selection of lotions and potions and a hand or foot massage.

We were known in the U.S., but not really internationally before then. But once there were billions of eyes on us, 24 hours a day on the biggest network, it was sort of like a 17-day infomercial for winter sports and Utah. The snow was perfect, the games went o without a hitch and it put us eye level on the shelf, so to speak, with the Aspens and Vails of the world. For the most part, as resorts have added acres of terrain, more and faster lifts and amenities galore, Utah lift lines are still manageable, if not downright fast, and the experience remains one of the most accessible in the country.

Real Salt Lake soccer
The Utah Jazz play to wildly enthusiastic fans in downtown Salt Lake Citys 20,000-seat EnergySolutions Arena and tickets can be hard to come by. Now part of the Northwest Division of the Western Conference of the NBA, the team originated as the New Orleans Jazz in 1974 and moved to Utah in 1979. Head coach Jerry Sloan has one of the best records in the NBA and The Jazz has a winning tradition, built by some of the best players ever, including the nowretired hall-of-fame duo of point guard John Stockton and power forward Karl Malone. The teams star players today are Deron Williams and Paul Millsap, and many consider Gordon Hayward a rising star.

Real Salt Lake competes in the MLS, the top pro soccer league in the United States and Canada. The league selected SLC as the teams home because Utah has a signicant soccer fan base and the nations highest per-capita participation in organized soccer (estimated at more than 200,000 players). Established in 2005, Real won its rst MLS Cup title in 2009 under coach Jason Kreis, the rst player in MLS history to score 100 career league goals and the youngest coach in MLS history to win the MLS Cup. The team plays its home games at the ultra-modern 20,000seat Rio Tinto Stadium in Sandy.
The Salt Lake Bees, the AAA affiliate of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, play baseball in the Pacic Coast League. Their SLC games are held from April to Labor Day at Spring Mobile Ballpark, where the Wasatch Mountains make a magnicent backdrop, theres room for lawn picnics and not a bad seat in the stadium.

WILLIAMS: Salt Lake has a small-town feeling in a bigger city. Theres a lot of stuff to do out here, especially if you have a family. Thats why I enjoy it here with my kids. Between the skiing, biking and all thats out here, if you like the outdoors, youre going to love living in Utah.
WILLIAMS: We have the best fans here theyre loyal and they support us, no matter what. It gives us one of the greatest home court advantages. Our arena gets rockin especially come playoff time. M. M.
Since the 2002 Olympic Winter Games, the Utah Sports Commission has attracted more than 400 major action events to the state, resulting in more than $1 billion in economic impact. Weve taken Utahs Olympic legacy and built it into a major action sports legacy, says Jeff Robbins, president of the Utah Sports Commission. What sets the state apart is our ability to host major international action sports events in winter and summer. For example, take the Dew Tour, which draws the worlds top athletes for skateboarding, BMX and freestyle motocross at EnergySolutions Arena during the summer and free-skiing and snowboarding at Ogdens Snowbasin in winter.

The museum is staging The Smithson Effect exhibition from March 10 to July 3, focusing on the artists pervasive presence in contemporary art since the 1990s. The Salt Lake Art Center, located next to the citys convention center, welcomes local and international artists to its contemporary galleries. It also stages multimedia events and hosts some of the citys biggest galas. The Salt Lake County Art Collection is the largest and by far the most impressive showcase of art by Utah artists. One of the most engaging ways to take in SLCs thriving art scene is on the Third Friday Gallery Stroll. Be sure to visit the multistory Phillips Gallery, the oldest commercial gallery in the intermountain west. By contrast, the Artspace galleries in the downtown warehouse district showcase more cutting-edge work. South of Salt Lake City, the Springville Museum of Art is another great repository of Utah art. The states rst museum for the visual arts, it was built in 1937 and occupies a splendid Spanish colonial building.

In the foothills of Salt Lake Citys east side, alongside the Bonneville Shoreline Trail, a spectacular new Utah Museum of Natural History is scheduled to open in late 2011. Dutch media artist Simon Heijdens has been commissioned to create a site-specic installation for the 17-acre complex. According to museum director Sarah George: The installation will be a collection of data-driven, digital plants and animals that grow, behave and live according to measurements of the weather outside and human use of the space inside. The result is art that ensures architecture isnt static, but constantly evolving with different species and varying life spans, sensitivities, and reactions.

Food community, and its no exaggeration to say its restaurant scene has become as universally inviting as it is exciting. One factor in this growth may be that word is out: Utahs easy skiing, y-shing, mountain biking and rock climbing access add considerably to a chefs quality of life. Chef Ryan Lowder of The Copper Onion would be one of those savvy guys. A Utah native, hes come full circle. After successfully making his mark at Jean-Georges and Mercat, among other notable New York establishments, and cooking in Barcelona, he returned to Utah with his wife, Colleen, to open one of the citys most popular restaurants in early 2010. It took o from day one, and Lowder says he has found the purveyors of his dreams, as well as a willing dining clientele. I really like that most of our our is milled to order 30 minutes awayits the guts of our house breads and pastries, he says. And I was happy to discover that people here are hungry for something dierent. Sweetbreads, for instance, y o the menu. I do a twist on Gabrielle Hamiltons sweeties at Prune in New York. Whole strips of smoked Berkshire bacon, capers, brown butter, whole-leaf parsley, garlic and a squeeze of lemon. Much fuss has been made about Utahs sweet tooth, but those over-the-top ice cream consumption and Jell-O jokes are so yesterday. Today, its all about ne pastriesthe more exotic the better.

The pace is intense, but Jenkins made sure to carve out time for a six-week global consultancy requirement at the end of the program. The class of 2010 worked on projects for companies such as Dell, Radiometer and Procter & Gamble in Europe and Asia. A faculty member travels to each students nal presentation to provide assistance and assess the eects of the students contributions. Why place such heavy emphasis on international experience?

PAUL C. VELASCO
Director of Degree Programs, Executive Education University of Notre Dame
Most executive MBA programs have incorporated multinational marketing, global supply chain management and international nance content, but leading schools understand the deeper lessons required to develop a global focus. They understand how culture affects business viewpoints and interactionsincluding other cultures differing perspectives on U.S. norms such as creating shareholder value. They teach graduates to engage in strategic thinking, providing the tools required to solve leadership challenges in an increasingly complex, interdependent and rapidly changing world. Educators achieve this through a well-integrated curriculum. We must extend core courses with experiential learning, cultivation of a strategic-thinking mindset and consideration of the global context. Our graduates will then be able to condently scan a dynamic global environment, seeing challenges and opportunities through a new lens. Their decisions will be rooted in their knowledge, experience and values in order to serve the greater good.

CHRISTINE SHEA
Associate Dean of Graduate Programs and Research, Whittemore School of Business and Economics at the University of New Hampshire
At the Whittemore School of Business and Economics at the University of New Hampshire, we believe that a global mindset is a necessary prerequisite to effective business leadership. The boundaries between nations have faded, and there is no such thing as a purely local business anymore. Executives must stay on the cutting edge of industry knowledge and technology, and they must understand the conditions under which foreign businesses operate in order to do business with them and sustain a competitive advantage in the world. Our executive MBA students learn how to integrate knowledge across business areas and prepare for a career in the global economy in a yearlong international management coursewhich culminates in a 10-day international residency in Beijing and Shanghai. At the Whittemore School, developing a global mindset is a critical goal against which we measure the effectiveness of all our programs. //
The Whittemore School of Business and Economics in Durham, New Hampshire, offers one-year MBA, executive MBA and part-time MBA programs. Many students participate in a 10-day international residency.

Throughout the years, he has conquered the heights of Mount McKinley in Alaska, Mount Aconcagua in Argentina, the Matterhorn in Switzerland and others. This Everest climb to the top of the world will be the most challenging, taking approximately 64 days if all conditions are good. Hell be living in a tent with no heat for two months in some of the coldest weather on Earth, but that doesnt outweigh the rewards: When I return from a climb, I appreciate everything in life, he says.
