FILE - This Aug. 24, 2010 file photo shows chickens in Sparks, Md. The Obama administration is overhauling poultry plant inspections for the first time in more than 50 years, a move it says could result in 5,000 fewer foodborne illnesses each year. The final rules announced Thursday would reduce the number of government poultry inspectors by around a fourth. But those that remain will focus more on food safety than quality, requiring them to pull more birds off the line for closer inspections and encouraging more testing for pathogens. There would also be more inspectors checking the facilities to make sure they are clean. (AP Photo/Rob Carr, File)

David Gladwell, chairman of the state liquor commission, looks on during the monthly meeting of the state liquor commission Tuesday, July 29, 2014, in Salt Lake City. The open market for Utah liquor licenses has been quiet since bars were allowed to start selling them directly to would-be business owners this month, the state liquor commission said Tuesday. The slow start doesn't come as a surprise to Gladwell, who thinks most of the 10-12 businesses on the wait list for new licenses through the state will sit tight. (AP Photo/Rick Bowmer)
