Lately I've been thinking, "I'm so proud of my generation! Finally human beings are coming together and taking care of what needs doing."
But just like everything else, USA for Africa went Big Business, USA for Africa became a conspicuous consumer ("USA for Africa: New Heights of Affluence," by Dennis McDougal, Sept. 1).
Moving to a high-rise is not an action taken by an organization that expects to spend its funds by the "end of September."
Somehow, it seems very, very wrong that $30 million is sitting in a bank while the powers that be are appointing new board members.
These funds were donated under the supposition they wouldn't have time to collect interest. Maybe they are spending the money wisely, but I'm finding it increasingly difficult to trust them anymore.

Cranberry- Brie Bites
Yield: 18 appetizers
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Cranberry- Brie Bites
Anything with brie is delicious... at least that's what the guests at my happy hour said. The sweet addition of cranberry sauce works well with the brie.
1 1/2 cups canned whole berry cranberry sauce
2 sheets of Puff Pastry, thawed
1 large wedge of brie, chilled
1. Preheat oven to 375° F.
2. Unfold puff pastry sheets (roll out a little to smooth, if necessary). Cut into approximately 3-inch squares. Place them into mini muffin tins, pressing them into the shape of the muffin hole.
3. Place 1" slice of brie in the center of each puff pastry and then top it with approximately 1 Tablespoon of cranberry sauce.
4. Bake 10 minutes, or until puff pastry corners are toasted light brown. Let cool 5 minutes before serving.
*This appetizer would be even easier to make if you are able to find the mini phyllo shells instead of the puff pastry.
I forgot to tell you I featured your recipe on my blog! (With all the appropriate acknowledgments of course) It was the perfect recipe for one of my left-over posts. Go check it out! Also, I made them and they were awesome. It might help the person above to know I did the brie on top instead of inside and that worked out nicely.
This didn't work for me. The brie melted and got all over everything.
These are great! I've made them twice now and they were a big hit both times — and so easy. I'm not a huge cranberry fan, so I used a dollop of raspberry preserves instead. Obviously, any other flavor would work too. Thanks for the recipe!

E-distributions and revenue management in hospitality
HeBS Digital invites hoteliers to "Shift Share from the OTAs to the Property Website" with a Summer promotion, offering substantial savings of 20% off website design packages for the Three Screens (desktop, mobile, tablet) New York, NY (July 10, 2013) - HeBS Digital, the leading hospitality digital marketing, technology and direct online strategy firm, is pleased to announce a 20% off "Shift Share from the OTAs to the Property Website" promotion.
Hoteliers who partner with HeBS Digital this summer will receive 20% off any website design package for desktop, mobile and tablet. This promotion was specifically designed to help hoteliers lessen their dependency on the OTAs and drive more direct bookings through the property website. Independent hotels are particularly OTA-dependent: Last year, more than 76 percent of online bookings for non-branded hotels came from the OTAs and just 24 percent came from the hotels' own websites (STR, HSMAI Foundation). The "Shift Share from the OTAs to the Property Website" package includes:
"The industry is feeling the pain from OTA dependency now more than ever and hotel owners, managers and franchisees are urgently trying to devise ways to lessen their exposure to the OTA channel" said Max Starkov, President & CEO of HeBS Digital. "Now more than ever, the main focus and priority for any hotelier should be to sell as much inventory via the hotel website as possible. The hotel website is the most cost-effective distribution channel that also preserves rate parity and price erosion. Simultaneously with an up-to-par hotel website, hoteliers should be taking full advantage of "traditional" ROI-focused direct online channel initiatives such as SEO, SEM, online media and re-targeting, as well the new meta search marketing initiatives such as Google Hotel Price Ads, TripAdvisor Meta Search, Trivago, Kayak, etc." The hospitality industry's overdependence on the OTA channel is painfully visible. It is time for the industry to fight back and shift share from the OTAs to the direct online channel i.e. to the hotel website. HeBS Digital gives hoteliers the tools needed to increase direct online channel bookings and dramatically improve the hotel's bottom line. Hoteliers interested in partnering with HeBS Digital and learning more about this package can click here.
About HeBS
HeBS Digital has pioneered many of the best practices in hotel Internet marketing, social and mobile marketing, and direct online channel distribution. The firm has won over 250 prestigious industry awards for its digital marketing and website design services, including numerous Adrian Awards, Davey Awards, W3 Awards, WebAwards, Magellan Awards, Summit International Awards, Interactive Media Awards, IAC Awards, etc.

And we are all the happier about your return.
Thank you again, Memsy! It reminds me of my father's joy when he was able to get wine other than Roma at the A&P in Durham. Then, wonder of wonders, he was able to procure espresso!
How proud Mr. T must be that his granddaughter pays him such a homage. As her mother, I am wiping tears as I have just finished reading about my father. Thanks to Mr. and Mrs. T the new American generation has made a success out of the grandparents' bold sense of future.

Comics beside the seaside - Part 1
This is the time of year when it was traditional for Summer Specials to begin appearing in the shops; annual bumper versions of the weekly comics. Sadly, as mentioned here last year, the Summer Specials have now practically fizzled out, replaced by a few hardback "Summer Annuals".
However, those glossy specials were not the only place to find summertime strips of favourite comic characters. The weekly comics also reflected the seasons and throughout the summer months characters would often be seen in seaside situations. As we're in the middle of a heatwave I thought it'd be appropriate to breeze through a few summer strips from over the decades...
Most summertime beach-related strips featured very basic slapstick. Here's Ruff and Tumble, the Jolly Little Circus Chums from Lot-O'-Fun dated June 2nd 1928. The comic was aimed at young children so the storyline is simple and relatively gentle cause-and-effect comedy.
Moving forward a few years to The Joker dated July 28th 1934 we see Wotto the Wizard play an age-old prank to make pop disappear. (Or perhaps it wasn't so age-old in 1934.) Watch out for that crab folks, it has a habit of turning up in seaside comic strips again and again.
It's July 5th 1947 and on their permanent cover residence in Illustrated Chips Weary Willie and Tired Tim become beach detectives fpr the week, illustrated by the brilliant Percy Cocking.
That very same week in 1947, Radio Fun had Arthur Askey come up trumps after meeting a beach bully.
Fast forward a few years to June 1st 1963 and cover star Bunty encounters one of those comedy crabs. (I think the artist was James 'Peem' Walker.)
July 11th 1970 and Sid's Snake enjoys the beach in Whizzer and Chips' first summer. Artwork by Mike Lacey.
On the back page of the same issue, the surreal Minnie's Mixer thwarts the plans of another beach bully.
1976 was a real scorcher of a summer and this cover of Tammy by John Richardson reflects that. Dated 11th September 1976 it shows a girl and her Mum (or big sister) returning from summer holidays in the UK whilst a travel agent looks on, possibly considering his losses.
More seaside fun soon!

Thanks Peter. I've neglected girls' comics here in the past, mainly because I didn't have any, but I've bought a few from eBay now and will occasionally feature some here from now on.

text: One approach to take is like this: <html> <body n:render="amICompleted"> <div n:pattern="notCompleted"> ... the regular form ... </div> <div n:pattern="completed"> ... the success message ... </div> </body> </html> and then do a ctx.onePattern('completed') or 'notCompleted' somewhere in render_amICompleted. You can determine whether or not it's completed by examining IHand(ctx), which is the return value of your autocallable. The html above will present either one or the other, either the form or the success message. You can easily adapt this so you get either the form-without-completed-message or the form-with-completed-message, I'll leave that as an exercise to you. The key thing is knowing about IHand.

Why White Walls Have Taken Over the Design World + More Design Links We Love
Why white walls have taken over the design world, and more design and home links worth reading this week.
- Grace Bonney's thoughtful essay about the dually loved and loathed white wall craze that's taken over the design world is more refreshing than a trend could ever be. (Design*Sponge)
- Behold: an actual cookie bouquet. The florally scented and flavored cookie (with bergamot, orange, elderflower, and almond) is a collaboration between the perfumers at Régime des Fleurs and bakers at Burrow Bakery in Brooklyn, who hand-paint each one. (T Magazine)
- Curbed's ode to Jane Jacobs on what would be her 100th birthday, a compilation of features ranging from the story of her famous battle with Robert Moses over LOMEX to a quiz about what she would think of your neighborhood, is required reading for anybody who lives in (or cares at all about) New York City. (Curbed)
- This well-loved family home in Sonoma (and its enviably lush, verdant backyard) pairs thoughtful personal touches with fuss-free warmth. (Cup of Jo)
- From a website for "word-of-mouth" recommendations to another that finds you cheaper flights by working in a day tour-sized layover between them, this roundup of travel websites you (probably) haven't heard of is worth the bookmark. (Refinery 29)

The unseen details are the main problem and subtle element breaks even with nature of administration conveyance. Regularly individuals don't understand the significance of commercial cleaning administrations until the day the cleaner does not appear for work.
So what are the pointers to pay special mind to?
So as the customer of the commercial company what controls would it be a good idea for you to ask?
Cleaning administrations offer a few choices from a one-time, thorough scouring to week by week or bi-week by week touch-ups. Seeing how cleaning administrations work and how cleaning administration costs are prone to change contingent upon the circumstance will give you a superior thought of which (assuming any) arrangement is a good fit for you.
Occasion Cleaning Services
The busiest times in all our lives tend to base on the occasions. Visitors are cycled in and out, stimulating means greater wreckage heaps, and cleaning regularly gets cleared under the carpet in light of more vital duties. In the event that you discover bother and occasions go as an inseparable unit, cleaning administrations are ordinarily more than willing to share the heap. Occasionally commercial cleaning costs are prone to be more costly per visit than booking a general week after week or bi-month to month arrangement, however in the event that you're facilitating Thanksgiving supper or a Christmas gathering, it will most likely be justified, despite all the trouble. Now and again, you may even have the capacity to discover a cleaning organization that gets enough business around the occasions that they offer a rebate on their ordinary one-time administration rate.
Cleaned, Services Are Flexible
The best thing about employing cleaning administrations is that the terms are totally up to you. On the off chance that you simply need them to come through and do a speedy once-over, let them know so. On the off chance that you require a profound cleaning before the in-laws appear for their visit that is alright as well. Also, if that venture at work appears as though it will extend over a couple of weeks or months, converse with your supplier about performing general week by week, bi-week after week, or month to month cleaning administrations too. Recollect that, it's your home. Simply tell your temporary worker what you need and they'll figure out how to get it going.
Get the Best Commercial Cleaning Service Prices
While cleaning administration costs are prone to differ from organization to organization, take note of that the real undertakings performed by the organization can shift, as well. In the event that you see cleaning administration rates that are well beneath the normal for your range, it is a smart thought to check just precisely what will be incorporated into that organization's visits. Regularly, low cleaning administration rates are a marker that something is out of order; maybe the ease organization forgets or charges additional for the errands different organizations furnish with every visit.
Sometimes our house is our office, especially if we work from home. And we have to admit be it home of office, it need cleaning. I have 6 tips to help you through your house of office cleaning (if you are cleaning an office, then you will skip the kitchen part, evidently). But, remember, there are always office cleaning services if you don`t feel like cleaning.
1. Before you begin making space into room, stop first to put on some incredible, enthusiastic music. That is better. Presently get the mess, and as you go, don't hesitate to second-figure your things. The less you have, the less you need to secure, clean, and tidy: examine books, magazines, daily papers, DVDs, furniture, toys the children have outgrown, old PCs you've outgrown, old garments and shoes in the storerooms… is it an opportunity to give and reuse? Turn off lights and roof fans as you go for the up and coming cleaning work.
2. Speaking of storerooms, on the off chance that you have any that you're reluctant to open, confront your fears its opportunity to minimize and compose.
3. Dust (go left to right, start to finish) with microfiber fabrics. This will bring down allergens and enhance the air quality in your home. Hosed materials fixing to the closures of mops and floor brushes work extraordinary for expelling spider webs. For slatted blinds, utilize the string to close them one way and dust, then close them the other way and rehash… it's viable and significantly more effective than attempting to do one brace at once. Bear in mind to hit the highest points of entryways, fans, light apparatuses, picture casings and yes, each of your knickknacks (keep them in presentation cases to diminish cleaning work). For the substance of encircled photographs, TV screens, and PC screens, use glass cleaner on your cotton material or microfiber to abstain from streaking.
4. Vacuum. Ensure your pack/compartment isn't as of now full, and utilize the right settings and connections. Hit the floors in the entire house, and upholstered furniture. Be flabbergasted at every one of those missing things (socks, your most loved pen) that you discover under your sofa pads.
5. Sweep/mop/treat floors (aside from kitchen). For wiping, begin at the most distant corner of the room and move back toward the passageway. Wash mop in the wake of finishing every 4 x 4 foot territory.
Don`t forget cleaning is important and either you do it, or hire professional office cleaning services to do it. Don`t lead a messy life!
6. Furniture refreshing. Once in a while, some wooden furniture needs a decent waxing.
Toward the day's end, work area spaces should be tidied up with a specific end goal to keep mess to a base. Desktops should be wiped clean week after week, unless spills happen. In those occasions, the ranges should be cleaned quickly and altogether. Guarantee that work areas are left explicitly free of smears, nourishment morsels and dust. This office cleaning technique ought to be done month to month, unless you have a workplace that is fruitless of a lounge or representatives are allowed to nibble and/or eat at their work station. All things considered, the office cleaning ought to happen on a week by week premise to avoid rodents, creepy crawlies, mold, microorganisms and germs.
On the off chance that you have perusing materials (leaflets, flyers, books and/or magazines) showed inside of a sitting tight range for clients, guarantee they are clean and a la mode.
Furniture, windows, blinds, inside decorations, plants, Knick talents and racks should be tidied all the time.
Clean checks from dividers as they show up.
Handle fingerprints and smirches from mirrors, windows and glass tops at the end of the business day.
Wipe or vacuum the ground surface.
At the point when wiping floor, make certain to use wellbeing signs illuminating those strolling by that the floor is as of now wet.
Get yourself and your representatives or associates in the propensity for keeping up a clean workplace every day. Remember that a moment of cleaning keeps the workplace from getting to be overpowering or discouraging.
Pick plastic or silk plants instead of genuine plants and blooms that require watering and tend to shed, shrivel and add to client and worker hypersensitivities.

You burn through 40 or more hours a week in your office, and you're doing the employments of two individuals. It's no big surprise that toward the end of the week, you're looking under heaps of paper for your auto keys and mobile phone when it's an ideal opportunity to go home.
A spotless office makes for an unmistakable head, however who has sufficient energy to sort out with your workload? Setting up frameworks and adhering to them permits you to work more quick witted while you work harder. It additionally gives the feeling that you're in control when your manager makes an improvised visit to your office. Who needs to abandon her remaining there while you rearrange through hills of research material to locate the one document envelope she needs? Here are five tips to kick you off.
One of the greatest office guilty parties is heaps of paper – around your work area, on your racks, and in the long run on your floor. It's anything but difficult to get occupied and begin stacking papers to petition for some other time, yet before you know it, you have an assignment that is too huge to handle. The key is to process papers as you go. Set up an arrangement of plate or record envelopes that are unmistakably marked and make it a propensity to utilize them. The same goes for your PC desktop.
In case you're similar to numerous individuals, your work area most likely goes about as the kitchen table for your office. It's the spot where everything gets dropped, and really soon you need to burrow to get to your PC. A spotless work area will promise more efficiency, however you're as of now so bustling attempting to be profitable, who has room for office cleaning? The key is to timetable it every day, and treat it like it's a meeting you can't miss. It helps in the event that you minimize the tokes and picture outlines and just keep work essentials on, in and around your work area.
The way to making office cleaning simple is to place everything in its legitimate spot. Along these lines, this implies you have to relegate a spot for everything and name it obviously so you can discover it after all other options have been exhausted. When you get in a propensity for putting things away, cleaning up turns into a brisk errand that is second nature. This additionally implies not topping off each and every inch of capacity. New things will become possibly the most important factor and need a spot to live, so keep a couple void racks or drawers to make space for the new.
You may not have noticed, but clean desks have a higher chance of getting everything done, while those with a more chaotic lifestyle are not so well organized and have problems with finishing their work on time.
That is partly because a certain degree of tidiness is important to everyone. Sure, there are those among us, that see some sort of order in their chaos, but most of us cannot even concentrate if the desk is all cluttered.
If you are wondering what has that got do to with you, I am going to ask you just one question: is your desk clean?
If not, how many clients have you had this month? I'd say a few, but not too many, am I right? You know why?
Because people are unwillingly attracted to people that seem to have everything in order, put exactly where they are supposed to be. This image gives them a sense of trust and safety, a sense you, with your cluttered desk, cannot offer.
I suggest you look for good office cleaning services, if you still want to have a chance. You don't even have to trust me, just look around. Try this for one day: look at those colleagues of yours that have a lot of clients. What do they all have in common? A sense of order and tidiness on their desks, right?
You see? Office cleaning is so much more important than we let it be, but we don't really understand that it can be part of our secret weapon, for the competition. I will make a deal with you, try it for one month and see exactly if your sales have gone up or down.
If they have gone down, you may go back to what were you doing, but if they have gone up, I suggest you stick to the cleaning part. And, of course, the business part. Let's talk through the results, right here!
Showrooms are our mirrors, so let's face them. If you really want clients you will put your best foot forward and make that showroom shine. It doesn't matter if you are selling cars or computers or pastry, it all about the windows. Good showrooms cover more than half of the sales, because they look good.
However, when it is not looking good, you will lose more money than you have invested. It may seem a bit weird, but the truth is people go for a good picture, and if your window doesn't paint one good enough, they will pass by and enter the next shop in line.
Apart from displaying all your best products, one must really be sure everything is clean enough. And even more than enough. Tidiness is one thing that can attract or push clients away. Dusty items or dirty pastry trays never looked good and they are not going to start now. So what is your solution?
Commercial cleaning of course. Commercial cleaning means you can pay a professional to take care of your showroom without you even knowing they were there. Spotless surfaces are their specialty and they will deliver whatever they have promised you, when speaking of tidiness.
Whether you close a contract with a commercial cleaning company, or you hire someone to come to your showroom every once in a while, it is important that you always have someone to handle the windows. Good, clean windows can work miracles on your business, and you won't even know what is coming. People usually are attracted to things that feel too expensive for them. Wouldn't you like to own one of those businesses that allows people to buy whatever is it that you sell, but at an affordable price?
Having a very clean showroom can tell people you are serious about the quality of your products or services. Why not create that impression? Hire good quality commercial cleaning right now and start counting your new clients.
Opinions matter. No matter how much we try and differ, opinions are what make a person become our client, whether we like it or not. Owning a company is not always sunshine and happiness, because, besides dealing with clients all the time, you also need to handle the internal issues as well.
Employees, office spaces, and none the less, cleaning those office spaces.
Even though they may not be seen by your clients, office spaces of working spaces should be very clean. The domain you are working in, makes no difference, it is all about the cleanness. If clients see you are not taking care of your own firm, why would they think you will take care of their needs? Moreover, if employees see you're not taking care of them, why would they care for your clients?
Notice the trend? It is a full circle and is important to understand what you need to do in order to gain the confidence of your employees and customers.
Industrial cleaning in Dublin and anywhere else is not only important for hygiene. People see the state you are in and they gain or lose confidence in you and whatever it is you represent.
That is why you should never ignore cleaning time at the office. Although you can ask your employees to do it, trust me when I say, there are professionals that would do it in half the time and less money. After all, I think your employees have better things to do for your firm, that clean it up, right?
You can even hire a janitor, that will only do that, but it all depends on how much money you have to spend. However, a good industrial cleaning in Dublin every other week is enough for a middle company that has mainly offices. And the services are not even that expensive!
Are you working in an office, at a desk for more than 40 hours per week? If you are a young professional with dreams to climb high in the hierarchy, you are surely working after hours, because ambition is something that flows through your veins.
However, you are not dying to clean up your desk every day, and dust your cubical or your office every week, am I right? If the company you work in does not have office cleaning, maybe it's time to speak to your supervisors and try solving this problem.
The thing with office cleaning is that you get to work in a clean environment, without you having to clean your office, yourself. Since it is a corporation, or even a small company, the management can negotiate with the cleaners, a payment and their working hours. They can be hired to come every morning, or every other morning, of after hours, in the evening.
Office cleaning can be a really cheap way of keeping your desk clean, without having to waste your own time.
On the other hand, if you are reading this and you own a company, I advise you to hire office cleaningservices. You will see how a small thing like cleaning can make a difference for your employees. Don't let them take any time from their working hours to clean up their offices. Instead, hire someone to do it for them and, in exchange, they will thank you by making you more profit and more earnings. What you spend on cleaning their offices will come back to you, multiplied.
Office cleaners are an intelligent investment, both for you and for your employees.
Office buildings are hard to keep clean. Hundreds of people work there everyday, and it the mess is simply unavoidable. Surely one can clean his own desk, but we all know that guy that never dusts off his keyboard, nevertheless his desk. That is why contract cleaning has been invented. The manager of the company can now hire professional cleaners that will keep the offices clean at all times, bound by a contract that both parties have signed on. Since it's a contract, the cleaning team shall make periodical visit to your offices, and clean them, while the employees are not there.
This team can come in once a week, twice a week, or several times per month, but you shall pay them once only, every month, in the basis of the contract. This kind of deal has more benefits, since none of your employees waste time on cleaning their desks, they shall do better jobs. Further more, the prices are lower when working regularly, because is a steady amount of workload therefore a steady payment.
So, before you know it you will save money, enough to get your crew in a teambuilding trip, and everybody will be happy. It is actually easy to keep your workplace clean, and it has been easier since the contract cleaning has been possible. After all a clean environment leads to better, higher workload, and better achievements.
Think twice before you pass this possibility, because it could be your recipe for success, and you would not even know it yet. Nowadays, the devil is in the details, and maybe, a clean workplace is the best place to start improving.

International Grape Genome Program
From IGGP
Welcome to www.vitaceae.org the web site for multinational collaborative grapevine research. The primary research focus is grapevine genomics carried out within the framework of the International Grape Genome Program (IGGP). It is expected that this new genomic knowledge will have a significant impact on our understanding of grapevine biology, viticulture and enology. Plant biologists, viticulturists and enologists are encouraged to contribute their expertise and form collaborations with genetic and molecular scientists within the IGGP.
The Steering Committee of the IGGP consists of international members from the major wine regions of the world. The IGGP White Paper was written in 2002 and explains in detail the research objectives of the program and the benefits and advantages of the approach. Progress has been rapid since the production of the White Paper with many objectives now achieved. It is still maintained in the history section. Working groups are formed from time to time to define directions and make recommendations.
IGGP Goal
The goal of the IGGP is to understand the genetic and molecular basis of all biological processes in Vitis that are relevant to the crop. This understanding is fundamental to allow efficient exploitation of Vitis biological resources in the development of new cultivars with improved quality and reduced economic and environmental costs. This knowledge is also vital for the development of new vineyard and winery diagnostic tools. Traits considered of primary interest are pathogen and abiotic stress resistance, quality traits for fruit and wine grapes and reproductive traits determining yield.
The IGGP promotes collaborations and placement of data into the public domain to achieve this goal.
Public Resources
The IGGP recommends submission of all genomic data to mirror public databases maintained at NCBI and EMBL-EBI. This provides a single point of access for most grape genomic resources and allows individuals to view or download data of interest for further analysis and value adding. Vitis vinifera records in NCBI databases.
Research Topics
To achieve the final goal research is being done in the following areas:
- Genome sequencing
- Genome maps and markers
- Functional analysis
- Phenotyping and trait ontology
- Bioinformatics

Bears defense: Monsters of the Misery
The Dolphins couldn't run the ball, which left a third-string quarterback to try to beat the Bears' defense. So unfair. The Dolphins should've just declined the ball.
Pick a number, any number, and the Bears' defense destroyed a Miami offense begging to be put out of America's misery.
Six sacks. An interception. Just 39 rushing yards. The Dolphins converted only one of 11 third downs and didn't cross midfield in the second half until a last desperation drive when the Bears were just trying to keep them in bounds and keep the clock running. A road shutout.
Best of all, a Bears defense that starts with pressure up front got plays all over the defensive line. Julius Peppers had three sacks. Henry Melton and Israel Idonije each had one. Marcus Harrison deflected a pass. Anthony Adams had a tackle for a loss. Even Tommie Harris made a tackle for a loss and busted up the middle to create a Peppers sack.
That's what you do when you see an offense starting a third-string quarterback and a beat-up offensive line that lost its best receiver in the first half. That's what you have to do when you see the offense the Bears have.
The only things to recommend the Bears' offense in the first half were drives that got close enough for two field goals and drives long enough to let the defense regroup in the Miami heat. Given their statistical dominance, especially on third down, the Bears should've scored enough to make the Dolphins consider forfeiting.
Then came that 13-play, 60-yard drive that ate up half the third quarter. Matt Forte capped it with a two-yard run, accounting for more than half the yards on the drive. If that's really you calling plays, Mike Martz, then take a bow.
I counted three near-interceptions in addition to the one Jay Cutler actually threw, along with underthrowing Devin Hester on the only bomb of the game. Cutler's 64.8 rating isn't acceptable. Same goes for his average of 5.3 yards per pass, and the three sacks the line gave up -- did J'Marcus Webb put a bounty on Cutler?
But Cutler's best play came during that 13-play drive in the third quarter. On third-and-8 at the Dolphins' 18, Cutler reacted to the blitz and quickly hit a slanting Greg Olsen for 10 yards down to the 8. The quarterback and intended receiver read the coverage and responded with a play that had to demoralize a game Miami defense.
And the Miami defense was game, believe me. On the field almost two-thirds of the time, at times getting gashed, the Dolphins' defense repeatedly rose up and looked like it was taking out its frustration with its own offense on the Bears' offense.
A pessimist would point out the Bears ran for 135 yards, but needed 40 carries to do it. An optimist would point out the Bears ran 40 of 68 plays to dominate time of possession almost two-to-one. A pessimist would point out the Bears have run for 370 yards the last three games, but needed 109 attempts to do it. An optimist would point out the Bears have run enough to help the Bears convert 57 percent of their third downs the last three games. I'll say the Bears have run the ball well enough to give the defense what it needed to win three in a row.
Tyler Thigpen became the 15th starting quarterback for the Dolphins since Dan Marino retired after the 1999 season, a list almost as embarrassing as the Bears' 21 starters during Brett Favre's career in Green Bay.
When Devin Hester fair-catches a punt at his own 6, you know he's too geeked up in his hometown.
Danieal Manning, hit of the year, non-finable, non-suspendable category.

The move is part of a massive 18-month global marketing campaign tied to the 50th anniversary of Disneyland that aims to build traffic at Disney resorts, which remain below levels seen before Sept. 11, 2001. Disney's push, kicking off in January from Publicis Groupe's Leo Burnett, Chicago, includes a TV blitz that shows its signature characters arriving for a gigantic party. Virtual Magic Kingdom will have a dedicated campaign, as well as exposure in the anniversary-centric media.
The virtual game comes as the entertainment giant, in its quest to captivate tech-savvy tweens and hip up its image, delves further into high-tech products.
built-in bounce
Virtual Magic Kingdom, aimed primarily at 7-to-12-year-olds, has built-in bounce back from the Internet to Disney's theme parks, with players able to win special perks and head-of-the-line passes for rides in return for completing online challenges. Players who go to the parks also can compete in on-site games to win swag for their online personas.
"This isn't like a print ad or a TV commercial-it's an immersive environment," said Paul Yanover, senior VP-general manager of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Online. "It's a whole different avenue to bring someone into the franchise."
"We want to develop one-on-one relationships with consumers," said Michael Mendenhall, Disney Parks & Resorts exec VP-global marketing support.
Park attractions like the Haunted Mansion and Space Mountain act as the multi-player games, where kids can play against any number of opponents.
"They're eroding that division between online and offline for a generation that will appreciate it," said Lucian James, brand strategist at San Francisco-based Agenda. "When kids like something, they expect it to be available in every medium."
The site is an extension of what Disney does best, Mr. James said. "They really excel at creating a branded environment," he said.
There may be corporate sponsor branding on the site, though details are still coming together. Disney has long-term relationships with marketers like McDonald's Corp. and Visa International.

The University Observer's resident New Zealand columnist, Killian Woods, offers further insight from the Rugby World Cup
The robustness of a sport must be established and maintained by its governing body. FIFA has been consistently subjected to criticism for mismanagement and failing to govern football, and suffers from a tarnished reputation for its shortcomings. Unfortunately rugby is falling into a similar pattern whereby its governing body, the International Rugby Board (IRB), is instigating disrepute in the game.
Dealing with the administrative requirements of a sport is comparable to the gentle, but firm, grip needed to handle baby chicks. Hold too tight and it will be crushed, but too loosely and the chicks will slip out of your control. At the moment, the IRB are effectively strangling the sport and stunting its progression through a series of decisions that sees them stuck in a feud with the teams and players they are meant to represent.
Rugby is usually held up as a wholesome alternative to many sports due to the broadminded nature of its approach towards respect for referees and gamesmanship exhibited by the majority of players. However, considering the confusion surrounding fundamental aspects of the game, such as its laws and governing authority, it is hard not to feel that the game is tainted, with the antagonising agent being the IRB itself.
Fundamentally it is the application of their attention to detail that is the main cause of the heightened disputes with players and nations. Too much attention is being fixated on miniscule aspects of the game, such as reprimanding players for breaching advertising procedures, and not enough on clearing the perplexity surrounding the laws, particularly involving the breakdown.
The All Blacks captain Richie McCaw shouldn't be troubled by questions in the lead up to a World Cup quarter-final about how Northern Hemisphere referee Nigel Owens is going to interpret the laws of the breakdown and fringes of the ruck. This is an unnecessary concern for any rugby player. Yet at the moment we are continually preoccupied pre-match about the possible side effects a contest will endure due to referees having their own exclusive understanding of fundamental laws of the game.
Laws in sport should be outright and definitively leave no argument from any party as to their implementation. Yet through the laws committee, the IRB have managed to cause unmitigated confusion which results in referees managing crucial aspects of the game, such as the ruck, in their own unique way.
There should be abrupt measures taken to clear this misunderstanding, but instead the IRB's first priority as of late focuses on managing seemingly frivolous facets of the game. At first it sounded like a believable joke, but England centre Manu Tuilagi and Samoan winger Alesana Tuilagi being reprimanded, and fined $10,000, for wearing unapproved mouth guards that breach tournament advertising regulations typifies how the IRB's intentions are skewed.
The IRB's priorities are equally questionable regarding key decisions made in structuring the fixture schedule of the tournament. Blatant prejudiced tendencies against tier two and three nations have been distinctly evident. This preferential treatment of the tier one teams has resulted in teams like Tonga, Canada, Samoa, Fiji, Japan, Romania, Georgia, Namibia, Russia and the USA having to endure quick turnarounds between games.
Canada, Samoa and Georgia, for example, were forced to play only four days after their first pool games on the 14th of September. This short recovery time had huge consequences on the three teams and their ability to consistently field their strongest starting XV throughout the tournament.
It also granted their opponents an unfair advantage. France, Wales and England had eight days of preparation, four days more than their opponents. The IRB are entrusted to facilitate fair play in the game, however, they openly afforded tier one teams greater recovery times at the expense of tier two and three countries.
Admittedly, the IRB were in a difficult position, and were under time constraints that restricted the length that could be allocated for the pool stages. However, pandering and favouritism to tier one nations is not the way any sport progresses, and rugby will never develop into a popular worldwide brand if such unequivocal bias exists.
The process required to resolve the matter at hand must begin with the IRB itself. As an entity, it must treat all members as equals and promote healthy competition in the sport through a fairly structured competition and judicial process.
The problem is that the IRB see no issue with merely warning England officials for switching match day balls between Jonny Wilkinson's kicks. They recklessly allow a Welsh referee to officiate the South Africa vs Samoa game, a match that had huge repercussions on Welsh progression in the tournament. They allow a situation to arise where Samoan players have to fund their own flights home from the Rugby World Cup. They are clueless.

In 1966, the inventor of computer dating, a Harvard math major named Jeff Tarr, joked to a reporter: "If there's some chick I'm dying to go out with, I can drop her a note in my capacity as president of Operation Match and say, ' Dear Joan, You have been selected by a highly personal process called Random Sampling to be interviewed extensively by myself ...

|Hillary Clinton's health just became a real issue in the presidential campaign
She seems to nearly fall to the ground before she is caught by her aides, who hold her up. Her security detail then had to help her into the van by grabbing each of her arms. The former Secretary of State then appears to fall forward toward the door of the van before being bundled inside.
She appears to lose a shoe under the vehicle in the struggle before being driven to daughter Chelsea's apartment in Manhattan. Despite the concerning footage, she emerged from the home at 11:45am on Sunday saying she was fine. She told waiting reporters: 'I'm feeling great, it's a beautiful day in New York.'
It's time for @HillaryClinton to come clean about her medical conditions and health, or drop out! The voters deserve to know!#HillaryHealth— Donald J. Trump 2016 (@TrumpWhiteHouse) September 11, 2016
A smiling Clinton was then greeted by a young girl on the street to pose for a picture. She waved at customers at a nearby restaurant before getting into a van. Clinton then traveled to her home in Chappaqua, New York, according to her campaign.
It is not known whether she saw a doctor.

Photos show a specimen from a small lot we found in an old Southern Warehouse where they have sat since their manufacture and importation a couple of years ago. This fine rifle has a 24 inch Octagonal Barrel Carbine chambered in the venerable .45 Colt caliber. This well balanced rifle weighs in at only 7 pounds 12 ounces, and its center of gravity is 2 inches forward of the juncture between barrel and receiver, exactly where it's supposed to be. Barrel is nicely blued with a hint of purplish hue, marking is Chaparral ~ Repeating Arms / King's Improvement Patented March 29, 1866, October 16, 1860, in front of the traditional set-screw anchored dovetailed traditional buckhorn type rear sight, with the words Cal .45 Colt behind the sight elevator. On the bottom of the receiver beneath the Italicized serial number is Cat. 16183. Upper tang is marked Model 1873. The 12 shot magazine tube, like the barrel, screws, trigger, and lever locking key are blue steel; and the receiver, forend cap, lever, hammer, and buttplate are color casehardened steel. Shell carrier mechanism and ammunition storage plate on the buttplate are solid brass, and the carrier of course mates at the bottom of the receiver. Forend and buttstock are Italian walnut with occasional shelfwear finish weakness like the photo specimen shows, on its forend or buttstock. These rifles have some of them been displayed, but never loaded, fired, or transferred; they are in their original boxes with all their papers. We only have a handful of them. Chaparral Arms, of course, is an Italian based company with relations to two great companies, Charter Arms and Armi San Marco. This rifle's barrel is inconspicuously marked by its importer, Heritage Arms in Miami, on the right side barrel flat next to the forend. Photos show freckling on the receiver that affects only the lateral flats, hence the importation through Miami and not through Massachusetts. Box, however, is marked Chaparral Arms. Similar Italian-made rifles from competitors Uberti and Navy Arms command prices upwards of $1000 - $1500 per unit. We have not been able to offer any quality 1866 or Henry type rifles in this price range for many years, not since the 1970s. This is a one-time opportunity to own a quality, authentically styled 1873 copy at a reasonable price.

Down a dirt lane deep in Quirkutopia there is a hot, clanking round-up of loud, living history. The Sturgeon Mill Restoration Project is considered "one of the last great mills of its time", and we believe it. It is gorgeously run on steam power by huge old machines that still produce some circle-sawn wood that is as high-character as the area residents.
Originally built in the 1880, the mill came into the Sturgeon family's hands in 1913, and was moved by them 2 times to new locations. It sawed a lot of the wood that went into rebuilding San Francisco after the 1906 earthquake and fire. Lumber from the mill helped build a lot of Quirkutopia's homes and hundreds of its chicken farms according to Bob Sturgeon, who is carrying on the family sawmill tradition.
The mill shut down in 1964 when his dad Ralph retired. Ralph kept oiling and running the old machinery like a pet old classic car. When the younger generation decided to restore it in 1999 with the help of many volunteers, it was in working order. For the first time in decades, the steam whistle that summoned workers again blew.
There are 44 volunteers that come once a month to work on the mill, and to restore the gardens that became so famous each year about 4000 people came out to see them. The gardens, once overgrown with blackberries and poison oak, are now cleared and the exotic and native old plantings, hidden mossy benches, some odd old statues and lily ponds are once more revealed.
Each year the mill volunteers holds just a few visitor days when anyone can stop by to see the industrial age machinery do its heavy work, the giant blades whirr their way through the big redwood logs, and hear that magic stream whistle. There's a barbecue, music, and old vehicles hauling the lumber and giving rides. We are so there. The dates this year are May 19/20 (10 days from now!), June 16/17, August 18/19 and September 15/16. It's free; donations are welcome. Check it all out at http://www.sturgeonsmill.com .

It's ironic that I left clinical practice for one of the very same reasons I entered into it in the first place: families. Don't get me wrong – I still love working with families. They are a key to successful practice in medicine, and are the cornerstone in clinical family and patient-centered care. If you haven't checked out the Institute for Patient-and Family-Centered Care, I highly recommend it. (And I have taken all the work out for you by providing this lovely hyperlink.) Families are a huge reason I specialized in pediatrics: I loved the idea of nurturing change and providing education to a group of people that have tremendous influence on a child. Children do not grow up in vacuums. Real change and intervention has to happen with the caregivers. And many of the families I worked with over the years were gracious, kind, and motivated in caring for their children.
I wasn't naive enough to think I was going to have a mind-blowing experience working with every single family in my clinic. But there were some parents that really caused me to struggle immensely in my practice. Surprisingly, it wasn't the aggressive over-parenters that really got to me. Sure, I had my issues with helicopter parents who would come in demanding some brand new test they saw on TV be run on their (healthy) child so they could confirm exactly what was wrong THIS INSTANT. Never mind that the test cost $1500, took seven weeks to run, and was intended for identifying illness that only occurs in populations that regularly ingest raw brains as part of their diet. Somehow, I always managed to eventually find a common ground with these parents and figure out a way to meaningfully collaborate in taking care of their kids.
My true achilles heel lay with the parents who were the exact opposites: The Passive Parents. These are the folks who simply weren't that actively involved with parenting their children. It happened for a variety of reasons. Some just weren't interested in parenting (despite that they were, in fact, parents.) Some decided to twist the Montessori educational method for their own purposes, and insisted that children learn from the world and each other, so that they were actually doing harm if they ever ran interference where their kids were concerned. (Hey genius, if your kid learns that his old sister can bully the hell out of him and you will stand around and watch and never set any limits for anyone, you've done a fabulous job teaching your kid learned helplessness. Way to empower your child.)
But my ultimate nemesis were the parents that were actually afraid of their own children. Like somehow standing up to a pint-sized version of themselves and actually saying "no" once in a while was the most terrifying prospect they would ever face. I'm not even really talking about parents whose children have already turned into teenagers run amuck and have developed Conduct Disorder and like to set fire to things – that is a very serious concern. The parent's I'm talking about are the ones who can't face down their elementary schooler.
I wil never forget one family in particular I took care of in my clinic for several years. "Jack" and his mom came into my clinic for the first time for Jack's six year-old well checkup. I heard about Jack before he ever got back to my exam room. The nurses actually came to warn me that he was terrorizing the front waiting room, and that the toys (that were actually there for all the children who were waiting to be seen) were scattered to the four winds. Jack apparently didn't do very well during the nursing screening either when he was getting measured and weighed – I heard the screaming all the way down the hall.
Eventually, Jack finally made it back into an exam room. The frazzled nurse, who was actually quite experienced with "demanding" children, handed me the chart and wished me luck, saying that the mom was going to be no help. I took a deep breath, turned the handle, and entered the room.
It was the "feeding after midnight" scene straight out of Gremlins. Jack had dragged a chair across the floor, used it to climb on top of the sink, and had proceeded to pull all of the plastic basins, boxes, and gowns out and throw them all over the floor. His mother was sitting like a stunned sheep in the corner of the room, too petrified to say anything to her son.
I immediately addressed her, and let her know it was dangerous for her young son to be standing on top of the sink, and she should probably retrieve him. She stood up, walked across the room and picked up her son, and timidly said something to the effect of, "now Sweety, you really shouldn't be climbing on top of things." Whereas Jack promptly turned in her loving arms, looked at her, and smacked her dead in the face.
I realized that I was going to get absolutely no help from this woman during the visit. So I asked her to please put Jack down. She did and scurried back to her chair in the corner. I squatted down so I was eye level with Jack, and we just looked at each other for a long moment. I then addressed him in a gravely serious voice, but making sure that I snuck in several glances at his mother to let her know I was addressing her too.
"Jack, I don't know how you do things at home, and maybe no one explained the rules about the clinic here to you, so I'm going to do it now to make sure you understand. In my clinic, we never, ever, hit another person. Got it?"
Jack stared at me with a curious look, like this was the first time in his life he had ever heard something resembling a limit, and was trying to digest it. We sat there like that for a few seconds while he processed. Finally he nodded and said, "I got it." The rest of the exam was a piece of cake. If Jack started getting rowdy while I was getting information from his mom, I would simply remind him about the clinic rules, and he would stop. His mom kept apologizing profusely for his behavior, looking all the while like she had seen a ghost (perhaps the Ghost of Christmas Parenting?) At the end of the visit, she appeared so mortified that she could barely make eye contact as she hustled him out of the clinic to the car.
The best part was that apparently, all Jack's mom needed was a bit of modeling to realize that she needed to get more actively involved in parenting her son, or he was going to end up jumping off a bridge when she wasn't looking. Six months later, Jack came in for a followup visit. I saw his name on the schedule and admittedly cringed a little. But something had happened in the interim. When Jack came in to the office with his mom, I happened to be standing close to the front desk and he spotted me. Wasting no time, he marched right up to me and said, "Dr. St. Claire, today I'm going to be really good." I high-fived him and he proudly went with him mom to the check-in desk. His mother was beaming as if she had just won the Boston Marathon. There were no reports of waiting room warfare that day.
Sadly, success stories like Jack were few and far between. Most of the passive parents I saw in my clinic never really gained a sense of active parenting, and it certainly wasn't a problem a physician was equipped to solve in a fifteen minute visit. I suspect on some level that these kids might not have gotten as optimal medical care as they might have, had I felt I could actually collaborate with their parents and give them a care plan that they felt comfortable taking home. I also worry about these kids growing up. In the 1980s, Psychologist Diana Baumrind identified distinct parenting styles, with the "permissive" parenting style being most often associated with children eventually developing Conduct Disorder.
I have no delusions that I may get some blowback from some offended parents reading this blog who see themselves in my words, and that is perfectly ok. I am not really interested in lecturing anybody on how to raise their kids. Plus I don't have to: the research and the outcomes speak for themselves regarding how our kids grow up these days. The bottom line for me is that as a physician, I worked very hard for many years to partner with parents in order to provide the best possible care I could for their children. The parents who couldn't, or wouldn't, meet me halfway were the ones that unfortunately made my job impossible to do well. I wish them all the luck in the world.
