 Senators put pressure on chief scientist. 05/08/2004. ABC News Online
There has been a renewed call for Australia's chief scientist to either resign from the position or step down from his role with the mining giant Rio Tinto.
Chief scientist Robin Batterham is also a research head for Rio Tinto.
Labor's Trish Crossin says the committee has recommended the role of chief scientist be modified from a part-time to a full-time position, so a similar situation does not arise in the future.

 The iPod Observer - Music Reviews - Pressure Chief
Pressure Chief, Cake's latest album, didn't immediately grab me. In fact, it took perhaps half a dozen listens before I started truly enjoying it.
Pressure Chief is a product of a band that is not only maturing, but one that has grown more sophisticated.
As it is, Pressure Chief is a solid offering from a great band, and it's well worth the time it took for me to come to love it.

 UK spy chief under pressure - Deccan Herald   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Pressure on British intelligence to admit failures over Iraq have intensified following the resignation of a second CIA chief involved in the Iraq war.
In London ruling Labour Party opponents of the war seized on the resignations of CIA director George Tenet and his deputy director of operations, James Pavitt, as proof that the US was acknowledging its intelligence failures in the run-up to the invasion of Iraq.
Although the CIA insists Mr Pavitt’s departure is not connected to Mr Tenet’s resignation, the departure of two such senior officials is bound to lead to upheavals in the agency.

 Salt Lake Tribune - Police chief handles pressure
It was a defining moment for Burbank, a police chief who up until last week was virtually unknown by the citizens he is charged with protecting.
One of the new chief's greatest skills is his apparent ability to keep people calm and focused, said former Salt Lake City Mayor Ted Wilson.
Burbank is the first chief in three decades to be named from within the department.

Unfortunately, their position is the former category is rather tenuous, and isn't enhanced by multiple listens to Pressure Chief.
The "heaviness" of Pressure Chief continues with "Take It All Away" and "Dime"---both more laid-back affairs that sport acoustic guitars and Ric Ocasek-inspired keyboard lines.
Although Pressure Chief isn't a bad album, several of its songs come off like b-side compliation fodder rather than a batch of fresh material.

 Cake - Pressure Chief : album review
As Dime's minor-chord minimalism kicks in, the Cake veteran may well raise an eyebrow to the fact that all three tracks so far had a distinctly pessimistic style (not that the band are known for wide-eyed hope, but three in-a-row seems unusual).
Pressure Chief (and Comfort Eagle before it, though to a lesser extent), is more of a sticky toffee pudding - somewhat less organic, but just as mouth-watering with hot sauce (addictive synth noises), almonds (acoustic instruments used minimally to maximum effect) and a side of ice-cream (McCrea's interminable knack for striking lyrics).
In other words, Pressure Chief is the same Cake on a different plate.

 Cake - Pressure Chief CD Review
I had heard rumors that the band was going to call it quits after three albums, yet with Pressure Thief, the band is now on their fifth studio album, obviously debunking the rumors that they were going away.
Every single Cake album has been full of great songs and Pressure Chief is yet another feather in the band’s cap.
The first single from Pressure Chief titled “No Phone” at first sounds like it’s almost a sequel to their hit “Never There,” in that both songs start with the sound of a phone before kicking in.

 Barnes & Noble.com - Music: Pressure Chief, Cake, CD
Released in 2004, Pressure Chief marks Cake's tenth year with a set of sardonic, engaging alternative pop that shows the Sacramento band's economical sound unwilted after all these years.
Chief features artwork and typography typical to the group, as well the familiar three-color print scheme and stiff cardstock paper.
John McCrea's wit is as dry as ever, and his tongue has grown sharper with the addition of a social comment streak that occasionally goes quite cynical.

On the band's fifth album, PRESSURE CHIEF, John McCrea and company continue down the same creative path with their tried-and-true knapsack of sonic elements--McCrea's deadpan phrasing, sprinklings of trumpet, and off-kilter hooks that manage to work inspite of themselves.
Oddball yet endearing, PRESSURE CHIEF furthers Cake's successful pursuit of loose and non-conformist pop music.
Pressure Chief comes as such a welcome relief in a musical climate so dominated by banality and mediocrity.

 Paste Magazine :: Review :: Cake - Pressure Chief :: Columbia (Page 1)
When Pressure Chief begins unloading—in anxious tones—lyrics about jets flying against a “darkening sky,” it may give you pause: since Cake has accumulated a three-year backlog of material since their last album (2001’s Comfort Eagle), could it be they’re just now treating us to their 9/11 remembrances?
Pressure Chief lightens up halfway through, however, and “She’ll Hang the Baskets” and “Tougher Than It Is” are well-crafted pop songs in the tradition of Cake’s previous four records.
Credit Pressure Chief for consistency and quality control—only a couple of throwaway tracks here, namely “End of the Movie”—but it’s hard to get revved about an album that incubated for three years, only to trot out the same proven formula.

 'Pressure Chief'
On "Wheels" and "No Phone," the album's first single and songwriter McCrea's lash out at technology, Cake dishes out its signature hip-hop/folk/pop sound that strangely appeals to people who aren't necessarily fans of any of those genres.
The high points of this record are "Dime," about the life of -- you guessed it -- a dime, and "End of the Movie," a stripped-down folk tune, which is probably the very best song on the album despite the length being a little over a minute long.
Chief's main surprise is a cover of Bread's "The Guitar Man."

 Cake: Pressure Chief (2004): Reviews
Pressure Chief won't change your mind on the band, although I will call it their weakest effort simply because there's no memorable single like "The Distance," "Short Skirt/Long Jacket," or even "Never There."
While traditional rock fans may have a difficult time swallowing Cake’s meticulously produced, pop-obsessed, genre-bending concoction, fans of Moby, Beck and The Flaming Lips might make for easy converts.
'Pressure Chief' sees the California quartet merge their trademark post modern kitsch with something vaguely approaching proper singing and the results are, by and large, pretty favourable.

Pressure Chief is quintessential Cake, its bubbly pop songs flaunting their melodies and horn-laden arrangements.
McCrea's frankness is appreciated, but Pressure Chief boasts far more musical shortcomings than its predecessors.
Many of the songs run about thirty seconds longer than they should, which is surprising coming from a band that seemed to always know where to trim the fat.
