SUPPLEMENTS TO SUPPORT NIDCR DNA MICROARRAY FACILITIES Release Date: March 27, 2000 RFA: DE-00-003 National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research http://www.nidcr.nih.gov/ Letter of Intent Receipt Date: April 15, 2000 Application Receipt Date: May 15, 2000 THIS RFA USES THE "MODULAR GRANT" AND "JUST-IN-TIME" CONCEPTS. IT INCLUDES DETAILED MODIFICATIONS TO STANDARD APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS THAT MUST BE USED WHEN PREPARING APPLICATIONS IN RESPONSE TO THIS RFA. PURPOSE The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) announces the availability of competitive supplements to assist institutions with establishing DNA microarray facilities. The DNA microarray facilities must be designed to support research relevant to the NIDCR. The DNA microarray facility must be located at a site receiving an NIDCR grant and serve as a resource for a minimum of five NIDCR-funded research projects. For the purpose of this initiative, each project within a multi-project grant can be considered as a qualifying research project. Requests for DNA microarray facilities to support Candida species research are ineligible for this announcement and should respond to RFA DE-00-004, SUPPLEMENTS TO SUPPORT CANDIDA DNA MICROARRAY FACILITIES. HEALTHY PEOPLE 2010 The Public Health Service (PHS) is committed to achieving the health promotion and disease prevention objectives of "Healthy People 2010," a PHS-led national activity for setting priority areas. This Request for Applications (RFA), SUPPLEMENTS TO SUPPORT NIDCR DNA MICROARRAY FACILITIES, is related to the focus area, Oral Health. Potential applicants may obtain a copy of "Healthy People 2010" at http://www.health.gov/healthypeople/. ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS Institutions having a NIDCR-funded research project (R01), MERIT award (R37), program project (P01), Center Core (P30), Comprehensive Center (P60), and having at least two years remaining on the grant, are eligible to receive a supplement for a DNA microarray facility. The collaborating sites that would use the array facility must also have an NIDCR-funded grant, and have at least two years remaining on the grant. Applications may be submitted by domestic and foreign, for-profit and non-profit organizations, public and private, such as universities, colleges, hospitals, laboratories, units of State and local governments, and eligible agencies of the Federal government. Racial/ethnic minority individuals, women, and persons with disabilities are encouraged to apply as Principal Investigators. MECHANISM OF SUPPORT This RFA will use the National Institutes of Health (NIH) competitive supplement award to a peer-reviewed, funded project. Responsibility for the planning, direction, and execution of the proposed project will be solely that of the applicant. The total project period for an application submitted in response to this RFA may not exceed two years. This RFA is a one-time solicitation. The earliest possible award date is December 1, 2000. FUNDS AVAILABLE The NIDCR intends to commit approximately $1.5 million in FY 2001 to fund six (6) DNA microarray facilities in response to this RFA. Applicants may request up to two years of support; the requested budget may not exceed $250,000 total costs in year 1 and $100,000 total costs in year 2. Although the financial plans of the NIDCR provide support for this program, awards pursuant to this RFA are contingent upon the availability of funds and the receipt of a sufficient number of applications of outstanding scientific and technical merit. RESEARCH OBJECTIVES Background This competitive supplement program is issued in response to recommendations developed at several recent NIDCR Workshops and the NIDCR Advisory Council. The workshop participants and Council members expressed a growing need in the research community for access to high quality and affordable microarray technology. The need for such technology is also based in part on the soon-to-be-completed sequences of several NIDCR-supported microbial genomes (http://www-sequence.stanford.edu/group/candida/) as well as the human and mouse genomes. Scope The DNA microarray facilities must be designed to support research relevant to the mission of the NIDCR. The DNA microarray facility must be located at a site receiving an NIDCR grant. A minimum of five NIDCR-funded research projects must be served by the activities of the array facility. For the purpose of this initiative, each distinct project within a multi-project grant (e.g., Program Project or Center) can be considered as a qualifying research project. Requests for supplements are limited to one per institution. Requests must be limited to the purchase of equipment, supplies, and technical personnel critical to the DNA microarray facility. There is no restriction to the type of array technology that the applicants may select. Appropriate use of the support includes, but is not limited to, purchase of DNA arrayers and readers, as well as robotic equipment for automation; and, with strong justification, computers and software for informatics. Since these supplements are intended to assist institutions, it is expected that the applicant institutions will also provide support for personnel, equipment, and supplies associated with the establishment and operation of the facility. INCLUSION OF WOMEN AND MINORITIES IN RESEARCH INVOLVING HUMAN SUBJECTS It is the policy of the NIH that women, members of minority groups and their sub-populations must be included in all NIH supported biomedical and behavioral research projects involving human subjects, unless a clear and compelling rationale and justification is provided that inclusion is inappropriate with respect to the health of the subjects or the purpose of the research. This policy results from the NIH Revitalization Act of 1993 (Section 492B of Public Law 103-43). All investigators proposing research involving human subjects should read the "NIH Guidelines for Inclusion of Women and Minorities as Subjects in Clinical Research", published in the Federal Register of March 28, 1994 (FR 59 14508-14513), and in the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts, Vol. 23, No. 11, March 18, 1994, available on the web at: https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/not94-100.html. INCLUSION OF CHILDREN AS PARTICIPANTS IN RESEARCH INVOLVING HUMAN SUBJECTS It is the policy of NIH that children (i.e., individuals under the age of 21) must be included in all human subjects research, conducted or supported by the NIH, unless there are scientific and ethical reasons not to include them. This policy applies to all initial (Type 1) applications submitted for receipt dates after October 1, 1998. All investigators proposing research involving human subjects should read the "NIH Policy and Guidelines" on the Inclusion of Children as Participants in Research Involving Human Subjects that was published in the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts, March 6, 1998, and is available at the following URL address: https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/not98-024.html. Investigators also may obtain copies of these policies from the program staff listed under INQUIRIES. Program staff may also provide additional relevant information concerning the policy. URLS IN NIH GRANT APPLICATIONS OR APPENDICES All applications and proposals for NIH funding must be self-contained within specified page limitations. Unless otherwise specified in an NIH solicitation, internet addresses (URLs) should not be used to provide information necessary to the review because reviewers are under no obligation to view the Internet sites. Reviewers are cautioned that their anonymity may be compromised when they directly access an Internet site. LETTER OF INTENT Prospective applicants are asked to submit a letter of intent that includes a descriptive title of the proposed research, the name, address, and telephone number of the Principal Investigator, the identities of other key personnel and participating institutions, and the number and title of the RFA in response to which the application may be submitted. Although a letter of intent is not required, is not binding, and does not enter into the review of a subsequent application, the information that it contains allows NIDCR staff to estimate the potential review workload and avoid conflict of interest in the review process. The letter of intent receipt date is listed in the heading of this RFA and is to be sent to the program staff listed under INQUIRIES. APPLICATION PROCEDURES Requests must meet the criteria required for all supplements: the project period of the grant to be supplemented must have at least two years remaining at the time of award. The other participating sites must have a NIDCR-funded projects with at least two years remaining at the time of award. Applicants may request up to two years of support; the requested budget may not exceed $250,000 total costs in year 1 and $100,000 total costs in year 2. The applicant should provide the following: 1. A description of five or more NIDCR-funded research projects that will benefit from the presence of a microarray facility, including how the array technology will enhance ongoing research projects. A signed letter of collaboration from each participating site should be submitted with the application. Collaborations with less research intense institutions is encouraged. 2. A detailed description of the administration and management of the DNA microarray facility. Important consideration should be given to setting priorities for the facility workload, cost-sharing considerations, and ensuring broad access by five or more NIDCR-funded projects listed in Item 1. 3. Documentation of strong institutional commitment to support the microarray facility, including continued support for the facility and the technology after the time period of the supplement. Applicants must document the resources and environment available at the institution to effectively operate the facility, including support for personnel, equipment, supplies, and availability of laboratory space. 4. Under the standard Modular Grant Application instructions, only a justification for key personnel has been required. However, due to the nature of this RFA, a narrative justification should be provided for all personnel, equipment or supplies. A detailed budget for these requests, however, is not needed. The application should be developed using the PHS Form 398 (revised 4/98) Face Page, Biosketch of the Principal Investigator, and Resources Form Page 8. The Research Plan should address points 1 through 4 above and must not exceed FIVE pages. The modular grant concept establishes specific modules in which direct costs may be requested as well as a maximum level for requested budgets. Only limited budgetary information is required under this approach. The just-in-time concept allows applicants to submit certain information only when there is a possibility for an award. It is anticipated that these changes will reduce the administrative burden for the applicants, reviewers and Institute staff. The research grant application form, PHS 398 (revised 4/98) is to be used in applying for these grants, with the modifications noted below. BUDGET INSTRUCTIONS Modular Grant applications must request direct costs in $25,000 modules, up to a total direct cost request of $250,000 per year. In this RFA, the modular grant application format has been applied to additional grant activities (R37, P01, P30, and P60) that are not part of the standard NIH model. The modular budget request must be in accordance with the modifications made to the standard PHS 398 application instructions described below: PHS 398 o FACE PAGE: Items 7a and 7b should be completed, indicating Direct Costs and Total Costs [Modular Total Direct plus Facilities and Administrative (F&A) costs] for the initial budget period. Items 8a and 8b should be completed indicating the Direct and Total Costs for the entire proposed period of support. For this RFA, Total Costs may not exceed $250,000 in year 1 and $100,000 in year 2. o DETAILED BUDGET FOR THE INITIAL BUDGET PERIOD - Do not complete Form Page 4 of the PHS 398. It is not required and will not be accepted with the application. o BUDGET FOR THE ENTIRE PROPOSED PERIOD OF SUPPORT - Do not complete the categorical budget table on Form Page 5 of the PHS 398. It is not required and will not be accepted with the application. o NARRATIVE BUDGET JUSTIFICATION - Prepare a Modular Grant Budget Narrative page. (See https://grants.nih.gov/grants/funding/modular/modular.htm for sample pages.) At the top of the page, enter the total direct costs requested for each year. This is not a Form page. o Under Personnel, List key project personnel, including their names, percent of effort, and roles on the project. No individual salary information should be provided. However, the applicant should use the NIH appropriation language salary cap and the NIH policy for graduate student compensation in developing the budget request. For Consortium/Contractual costs, provide an estimate of total costs (direct plus facilities and administrative) for each year, each rounded to the nearest $1,000. List the individuals/organizations with whom consortium or contractual arrangements have been made, the percent effort of key personnel, and the role on the project. Indicate whether the collaborating institution is foreign or domestic. The total cost for a consortium/contractual arrangement is included in the overall requested modular direct cost amount. Include a Letter of Intent to establish a consortium. o BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH - The Biographical Sketch provides information used by reviewers in the assessment of each individual's qualifications for a specific role in the proposed project, as well as to evaluate the overall qualifications of the research team. A biographical sketch is required for all key personnel, following the instructions below. No more than three pages may be used for each person. A sample biographical sketch may be viewed at: https://grants.nih.gov/grants/funding/modular/modular.htm - Complete the educational block at the top of the form page; - List position(s) and any honors; - Provide information including overall goals and responsibilities, on research projects ongoing or completed during the last three years. - List selected peer-reviewed publications, with full citations. o CHECKLIST - This page should be completed and submitted with the application. If the F&A rate agreement has been established, indicate the type of agreement and the date. All appropriate exclusions must be applied in the calculation of the F&A costs for the initial budget period and all future budget years. The applicant should provide the name and phone number of the individual to contact concerning fiscal and administrative issues if additional information is necessary following the initial review. The RFA label available in the PHS 398 (rev. 4/98) application form must be affixed to the bottom of the face page of the application. Failure to use this label could result in delayed processing of the application such that it may not reach the review committee in time for review. In addition, the title and number of this RFA must be typed in Item 2 on the face page of the application form, and the YES box must be marked. The RFA number must be typed on the label as well. The sample RFA label available at: https://grants.nih.gov/grants/funding/phs398/label-bk.pdf has been modified to allow for this change. Please note this is in the pdf format. Submit a signed, typewritten original of the application, including the Checklist, and three (3) signed photocopies, in one package to: CENTER FOR SCIENTIFIC REVIEW NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH SUITE 1040 6701 ROCKLEDGE DRIVE, MSC 7710 BETHESDA, MD 20892-7710 BETHESDA, MD 20817 (for express/courier service) At the time of submission, two (2) additional copies of the application must be sent to: Dr. H. George Hausch Scientific Review Branch Division of Extramural Research National Institute for Dental and Craniofacial Research 45 Center Drive, Room 4AN-38D- MSC 6402 Bethesda, MD 20892-6402 Applications must be received by the application receipt date listed in the heading of this RFA. If an application is received after that date, it will be returned to the applicant without review. The Center for Scientific Review (CSR) will not accept any application in response to this RFA that is essentially the same as one currently pending initial review, unless the applicant withdraws the pending application. The CSR will not accept any application that is essentially the same as one already reviewed. This does not preclude the submission of substantial revisions of applications already reviewed, but such applications must include an introduction addressing the previous critique. REVIEW CONSIDERATIONS Upon receipt, applications will be reviewed for completeness and responsiveness by the CSR and NIDCR. Incomplete and/or non-responsive applications will be returned to the applicant without further consideration. Applications that are complete and responsive to the RFA will be evaluated for scientific and technical merit by an appropriate peer review group convened by the NIDCR in accordance with the review criteria stated below. A process will be used by the initial review group in which all applications receive a written critique but only those applications deemed to have the highest scientific merit, generally the top half of the applications under review, will be discussed, assigned a priority score, and receive a second level review by the National Advisory Dental and Craniofacial Research Council. Review Criteria The goals of NIH-supported research are to advance our understanding of biological systems, improve the control of disease, and enhance health. In the written comments reviewers will be asked to discuss the following aspects of the application in order to judge the likelihood that the proposed research will have a substantial impact on the pursuit of these goals. Each of these criteria will be addressed and considered in assigning the overall score, weighting them as appropriate for each application. Note that the application does not need to be strong in all categories to be judged likely to have major scientific impact and thus deserve a high priority score. For example, an investigator may propose to carry out important work that by its nature is not innovative but is essential to move a field forward. (1) Significance: Does this study address an important problem? If the aims of the application are achieved, how will scientific knowledge be advanced? What will be the effect of these studies on the concepts or methods that drive this field? (2) Approach: Are the conceptual framework, design, methods, and analyses adequately developed, well integrated, and appropriate to the aims of the project? Does the applicant acknowledge potential problem areas and consider alternative tactics? (3) Innovation: Does the project employ novel concepts, approaches or method? Are the aims original and innovative? Does the project challenge existing paradigms or develop new methodologies or technologies? (4) Investigator: Is the investigator appropriately trained and well suited to carry out this work? Is the work proposed appropriate to the experience level of the principal investigator and other researchers (if any)? (5) Environment: Does the scientific environment in which the work will be done contribute to the probability of success? Do the proposed experiments take advantage of unique features of the scientific environment or employ useful collaborative arrangements? Is there evidence of institutional support? In addition to the above criteria, in accordance with NIH policy, all applications will also be reviewed with respect to the following: o The adequacy of plans to include both genders, minorities and their subgroups and children, as appropriate for the scientific goals of the research. Plans for the recruitment and retention of study subjects will also be evaluated. o The reasonableness of the proposed budget and duration in relation to the proposed research o The adequacy of the proposed protection for humans, animals or the environment, to the extent they may be adversely affected by the project proposed in the application. SCHEDULE: Letter of Intent Receipt Date: April 15, 2000 Application Receipt Date: May 15, 2000 Peer Review Date: July 2000 Council Review: September 2000 Earliest Possible Start Date: December 1, 2000 AWARD CRITERIA Award criteria that will be used to make award decisions include: o-scientific merit (as determined by peer review) o-availability of funds o-programmatic priorities INQUIRIES Inquiries concerning this RFA are strongly encouraged.

"And when they ask us what we're doing, you can say, We're remembering...." (Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451)
Thursday, January 01, 2009
Effective 2009, Another World, The Edge of Night, Search for Tomorrow and Texas will no longer be streamed on AOL.
PGP appreciates the support of AOL and all of our loyal fans who loved and watched these shows during their most recent run. We are currently exploring other options in making these shows once again available for viewing and hope that the break is only temporary.
Stay tuned for up-to-the-minute news and, in the meantime, please check out the 1991 episodes of Another World currently airing on Hulu.com!

Thank you for giving us the news(although very disappointing) about the P&G soaps channel.
At least other options are being worked on,but hopefully we won't have to wait too long to see these shows again.
Maybe Hulu could be an option.since the 1991 AW episodes are there?
- Marilyn said...
I really hope that EON is picked up soon. I loved it from 1978 until 1984 when it went off the air, and I have been loving watching it again now.
- Jandie said...
This is very disappointing news. It has been wonderful to watch The Edge of Night again after so many years. I hope that the show is made available again soon.
I sincerely wish that they would consider putting The Edge of Night out on DVD. I would buy the whole series!
- Marilyn said...
I would love to buy EON on DVD. Who could we direct that request to? I have been thinking how great it would be to own them on DVD
- eonschuylerwhitney said...
I also hope that EON is picked up soon. I loved it from 1978 until 1983 when Henry Slesar was writing, and I have been loving watching it again now.
I too sincerely wish that they would consider putting The Edge of Night out on DVD. I would buy the whole series!
- Sam Ford said...
Sorry to hear the news, but I'm hoping the next home for PGP Classic Soaps will find a way to allow for historical episodes of ATWT and GL in addition to everything else. I know that many fans would love to catch up on the history of veteran characters on the shows they watch today...
- Oakdalian said...
If Oprah and Obama have YouTube channels, why don't you?
- Anna Adams said...
I'm so sad that Another World is canceled again--I was counting down for a Mac Cory Christmas toast. Thanks for the memories. Hope you'll be able to work something out soon.
- SFTFAN said...
I hope that you can find an alternative site to post these wonderful shows. I was really looking forward to seeing the flood on Search For Tomorrow and its 35th anniversary special episode. Thank you for allowing us to relive memories from these timeless classics!
- brock66 said...
This was a stupid move on AOL's part---I was so happy to be able to watch my favorite show of all time "Texas"---what has me burned up is that the show wasn't even half-way through it's 2.5 year run!!!
- Matt said...
I echo what others have said. There are several venues where Edge/Texas/Search could be showcased. (Personally, I'm partial to Hulu, though YouTube does a good job as well.)
To deprive folks like myself who enjoy the classic soaps of yesteryear is, in my opinion, a crime. They're a window into another time -- to look back on some classic storytelling! For a friend of mine who was too young to see The Edge of Night, she was delighted to finally be able to see what she'd only been able to read about in books and on fan sites.
I sincerely hope that PGP hears the collective voice of the fans and works to bring all their soaps of yesteryear to another video site. We're waiting! :)
- chuck197007 said...
I just received a reply from Hulu about the possibility of them adding the P&G classic soaps............
Hi Chuck,
Thanks for your suggestion. I've passed your request for classic soaps on to our
content acquisition team. In the future, feel free to e-mail such requests
directly to firstname.lastname@example.com.
We're always working with various content owners to negotiate for the streaming
rights to more shows and more episodes/clips from shows we already have, and we
believe you'll see our content lineup grow over time.
- Derek said...
Thank you for the dedication in making these four classic soaps available through AOL over the last two years. In addition, your blog writers have crafted loving tributes to these shows of yesteryear that so many of us remember fondly.
Perhaps it was best that the arrangement with AOL has come to an end. Their site was extremely user friendly when it started airing the shows back in 2006. Since then, various format changes have resulted in a nightmare of a site to negotiate.
Thanks for looking into new arrangements for distribution. While Hulu sounds like a great alternative in the US, please keep in mind that there are millions of fans of these P&G soaps spread around the world, particularly north of the border in Canada. Hulu is unavailable for any of us living outside the US. That being said, if Hulu is a good fit, please sign with them in order to continue providing these previous holdings to American fans.
Perhaps a P&G Classic Soaps You Tube presence is also in order. I would love to see a channel dedicated to favorite fan scenes such as:
The St. Croix episodes from AW
Mac learning on the witness stand that he is not the father of Rachel's baby (AW)
Ada learning about husband Charlie's death and the walk up the stairs at the end of the episode (AW)
Iris' wedding with Alex and subsequent discovery in later episodes that he is still alive after the shooting (Texas)
Classic scenes between Iris and Vivien (Texas)
Mother / Son confrontations between Iris and Dennis (Texas)
These are just a few suggestions. Thanks for consideration.
- jtfe0n said...
It's been nearly a month and I'm still bummed about EON no longer being a part of AOL video. I might have an idea about a new home besides YouTube or Hulu. CBS.com has launched a Classic TV section of its website where episodes of such Paramount series as "Star Trek", "Twilight Zone" and "Family Ties" are available for viewing. Since EON and SFT originally aired on CBS, I think they'd be a great fit for this site. Edge of Night, Search for Tomorrow, Welcome Home.
- Lynette said...
I loved watching the P&G soaps on AOL, especially Edge of Night. I hope we can see Edge of Night episodes on Hula.com or somewhere else soon. We would really appreciate it. I love Edge of Night and miss it!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've just been made aware of the wonderful news through the "We Love Soaps" site that you have made the 1991 episodes of Another World available on You Tube. The notice also indicates that the 2007 episodes of Guiding Light and As the World Turns are also available.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Procter & Gamble / Telenext from Canadian and worldwide fans who are unable to access Hulu. Please consider issuing a blog posting to this effect (maybe I missed one this month) and be sure to create a link to the You Tube episodes on your blog's home page.
Any chance you can also revive the Texas, Edge of Night and Search for Tomorrow offerings through You Tube? Since the AOL episodes were so difficult to access, I would encourage you to start at the beginning of your holdings in order to catch a whole new wave of fans.
With this announcement, you have the makings of a devoted fan following on the Internet worldwide. Who needs TV networks anymore? Please consider transitioning Guiding Light to the web post-September. It already made the leap from radio to TV - why not the Internet as its next broadcast medium?
In a dream world, I would love to see you revive all your classic shows on the web, particularly Another World, which had such a great history, characters one cared about and incredibly talented performers. I took a quick peek at a 1991 episode and remarked what a talented cast was in place at the time. At the very least, you could think about a AW reunion special to mark the passing of so many of the show's cast since the show signed off. There would be so many classic clips you could show of past AW performers such as Beverlee McKinsey, Irene Dailey, David Bailey, Anne Meacham, Gretchen Oehler, Elizabeth Allen (Vicki from AW and Texas), Lee Patterson (AW and Texas).
Thanks again.

It's July 2009 as I type this comment. Any news on EON being picked up by anyone? I emailed hulu just now. I'm torn on whether I'd like them to start with the earlier 1978 episodes which are apparently available or to continue with where AOL Video left off. I'm leaning toward the 1978 stuff to see the classic Denise Cavanaugh storyline. P&G, any news yet?
- garydrew01 said...
music instructional dvds would be more interesting, anyway, thank you so much. nice news and info;)
Don't know if this has been suggested, but it would be great if these soaps could do a weekly show rather than daily. It would be better than taking them off the air all together.

Some people seem to revel in taking part in political discourse. Others, however, avoid it like the plague. Do you ever initiate political discussion at the office? Do you avoid it? Do you have an office policy about it, either official or unofficial?
I was recently asked to troubleshoot a user's printing issue, and while I was doing my thing, he was making a disparaging comment to another coworker about one of the four people running on the current presidential tickets. The comment was not only out of line, but it was downright wrong, at least in my opinion. Years ago, I would have jumped into the discussion. Today, however, I usually avoid them.
Don't get me wrong, I love to discuss politics and issues. But I prefer to choose the time, the place, and the person with whom I'll engage. In the case described above, the comment was so preposterous that I wouldn't have wanted to engage him anyway. I could have challenged him to back up his assertion, but discretion being the better part of valor, I decided to say nothing. After all, who needs confrontations at the workplace, regardless of the subject?
Even though I will answer such questions when asked, I've made it an unspoken policy of mine to avoid political and ideological discussions with the users I support. At one time I would have welcomed the chance to try to change someone's mind, which almost never happens, or treat it as a bout, seeing who can provide the best argument for the respective positions. But for some reason, I've learned to avoid such confrontations and/or discussions in the workplace.
In today's heated political climate, it's nearly impossible to avoid exposure to it. But are you a participant or a bystander? Are you aggressive about it or more passive?
In my case, it's easy for me to avoid political discussions at the workplace — I have a great outlet for that very thing!

Ten things to take away from the Chicago Bears' 31-3 loss to the Denver Broncos in their preseason opener:
1. No one game plans for the opening preseason game and starters don't play into the fourth quarter in the first exhibition. But maybe nobody told the Bears.
Although they didn't put together a regular game plan for their meeting Thursday with the Denver Broncos at Soldier Field, the Bears did keep a third-year starter on the field until the midway point in the fourth quarter when left tackle J'Marcus Webb finally went to the bench.
Unprecedented in the NFL? Maybe not. Highly unusual? You bet. On a night when quarterback Jay Cutler, running back...

With several starters from last season gone, most notably Jadeveon Clowney, South Carolina's defense will have a new look in 2014.
HOOVER, Ala. — With several starters from last season gone, most notably Jadeveon Clowney, South Carolina's defense will have a new look in 2014. Despite the new names, senior defensive tackle J.T. Surratt believes the Gamecocks have a chance to be just as good, if not better, this season.
Speaking at SEC Media Days on Tuesday, Surratt said Carolina's defense is a hungry bunch ready to prove to the college football world that the Gamecocks have reloaded.
"We're really confident in ourselves and our abilities. We believe that just because those players are gone doesn't mean that we can't be successful," Surratt said. "We've got guys that are ready to step up and take those leadership roles and show everybody that we've got the skill and talent to go out there and still make those big plays that need to be made in crunch time. We're ready to get out there and show everybody what we've been working on."
In addition to Clowney, defensive linemen Kelcy Quarles and Chaz Sutton and defensive backs Jimmy Legree and Victor Hampton have moved on.
Surratt mentioned Gerald Dixon, Gerald Dixon Jr., Sharrod Golightly, Darius English, Mason Harris, Marcquis Roberts and Skai Moore as lesser-known players that are ready to make an impact.
"I could go on and on," he said. "I just believe our defense as a whole has guys with the mentality that we can still be great even with what people say about us."
Nick Jones was listed as a second-team receiver this spring, but when South Carolina's depth chart was released at SEC Media Days on Monday, the former Byrnes star was slotted into a starting position.
The move up the depth chart did not surprise South Carolina quarterback Dylan Thompson, who mentioned Jones as the one player who stood out the most this summer.
"He's just gotten faster every offseason. He's running great routes right now," Thompson said. "I think he just took every day one at a time and got better. Week after week he was being more efficient and just on top of everything. That was good to see."
Last week, Thompson visited the Manning Passing Academy and got to know other college quarterbacks from around the country while also learning from NFL superstars Peyton and Eli Manning.
"Manning was awesome, just getting to know all of the college guys," he said. "It's not every day you get to be around guys that are going through exactly what you're going through."
He added that what he learned the most was just how hard Peyton works to be great.
"It's just a different level than anything people can imagine," Thompson said. "We had a workout with him the day we got there. He had already been out there an hour and a half and then he came and worked out with us. His level of commitment, and he's been there 17 years in the league, just seeing that firsthand."

Jose Reyes received cheers last night. He also heard boos from the largely uninspired Citi Field crowd. Reyes didn't exactly pack them in last night, did he?
David Wright wasn't surprised by the lukewarm ovation, saying some people would never forgive Reyes while others understood why he left.
Reyes simply said the Mets never made him an offer, which he took to mean they didn't want him. There can be no other explanation.
In retrospect, despite lip service to the contrary, the Mets were never going to be in it for Reyes. This is a player who makes his living with his legs, but missed considerable time the previous two seasons with assorted muscle pulls. The first years of his career were the same.
Reyes is a breakdown waiting to happen. He is a high maintenance sports car frequently in the shop.
What Reyes didn't say last night, was he was in it for the last dollar and the Mets knew they couldn't swim in that end of the pool. No, the Mets didn't go out of their way last year to keep Reyes, but he didn't exactly go out of his way to say he wanted to stay.
It was an inevitable divorce; two parties seeing the end and doing nothing to stay together. Passive aggressive? Not committing is a statement.
The Mets, not knowing their future finances, did know they couldn't keep Reyes, then re-sign Wright, and then fill in the rest of the pieces. It just wasn't going to happen. It couldn't happen with Johan Santana and Jason Bay on the payroll, and after all that money wasted on Oliver Perez, Luis Castillo and others. Even with Carlos Beltran and Francisco Rodriguez gone, the Mets couldn't afford to keep both. Not with what they knew at the time.
The choice was Reyes' flash and speed against Wright's power and consistency. While both had sustained injuries, the Mets decided Wright might last longer at the top of his game than Reyes, even with the latter having a stellar year and winning the batting title.
Reyes had injuries the previous two years and had already been on the disabled list twice last summer. When he returned the second time, he turned it off as to not risk hurting himself and his chances in the market. In doing so, they had to wonder if this decline would continue and what he would be like at the end of his contract.
Conversely, Wright hurt his back, but it was in making an aggressive play. These things happen. Wright lost his power stroke hitting 14 homers last year, but after 29 the season before. The Mets' gamble, enhanced by moving in the fences, was Wright could sustain being a power hitter longer than Reyes could be a speed threat.
Power is more marketable, and so is Wright's personality and grit. Reyes tweaks a hamstring and is out for two weeks; Wright played a month with a small fracture in his back and this year with a broken pinkie.
Wright plays with passion; Reyes plays with flair. Which would burn out first?
The Mets might have gotten their answer when Reyes took himself out of the season finale after bunting for a hit to preserve his batting title. I can't imagine Wright pulling himself from a game for such a me-first motive. Reyes turned his back on the fans who supported him and came out to say good bye.
Maybe the Mets and Reyes weren't loyal to each other, but the fans were loyal to Reyes and he dissed them. Mets fans have, and always will have, an inferiority complex. It comes from being the second team in town. And, in leaving, Reyes reinforced that insecurity and told the public Miami's millions were more important than the Mets' millions.
He was saying New York wasn't good enough. Meanwhile, Wright has been saying New York is all he wants.
It really wasn't a hard decision after all.

Juventus president Andrea Agnelli has warned that there is still more to come from his side in the future.
The Turin outfit enjoyed a memorable 2012 as won the Scudetto and finished the year back on top of Serie A. The Bianconeri are also through to the round of 16 of the Champions League, where they are set to meet Celtic.
Agnelli is confident that the club can reach new heights if they continue to work hard and fight to the end on all fronts.
"I think seeing 400,000 people out and about on the day we won the Scudetto was something extraordinary," the Juventus president told the club's official website.
"I live up in the hills, and I heard the noise after the team's triumph in Trieste. Watching from afar, hearing and sensing what was going on, was something magnificent.
"Juventus fans are perfectly aware that what's happened in the past no longer counts for anything. Juventus fans always want the next target.
"So we know we'll have to work with professionalism, attention and perseverance, because the best victory is always the next one.
"There certainly won't be a lack of determination [from me], knowing that 2013 will possibly be even tougher than last year."

Our service has provided us the opportunity to experience life in a country of which we knew little.
Our service has provided us the opportunity to experience life in a country of which we knew little. In return, David and I hope to have left a positive impression of what people from the United States are like. We also hope to have improved the lives and outlooks of at least a few individuals through our interactions and work.
Our Peace Corps service began in Niger, Africa, in late 2010. That assignment ended when we were evacuated due to nearby terrorist activity. With reassignment to Armenia, we were able to experience two totally different ways of life as well as needs. We feel enriched by having these diverse opportunities to live in countries that are so different.
So what's next for us – and for other volunteers who devoted more than two years to Peace Corps work? Of course, reconnecting with family and friends in the U.S. is primary for a majority of us, including David and me. After that, we intend to seek further chances to travel and possibly other ways to carry out meaningful volunteer activities in areas of interest to us.
Within our group of 40 volunteers, many were young university graduates who chose to do Peace Corps service prior to graduate school or starting paying jobs. Law school awaits one of the brightest young women in our group, while international studies in Monterey, Calif., is the choice of another. Several volunteers have accepted or are seeking positions in Washington, D.C., where they will build their resumes to move into foreign service or other government careers.
A few are rejoining their parents, as many in the Millennial Generation must do. They hope to figure out what they want to do with their lives, or plan to further their studies so they can support themselves in the current economy. Two years in the Peace Corps can be a time for contemplation and decision-making while helping others, but it's not always long enough for a person's desires to be met with realistic approaches to reaching personal goals.
Within the group of older volunteers similar to David and me, a few will resume work in their former fields of employment while another will seek new horizons in the international arena.
In our exit interview, our Peace Corps country director asked what we thought was our greatest accomplishment during the two years in Armenia. For me, it was neither the transfer of skills, which is goal No. 1 for the Peace Corps, nor was it the fact that I was able to obtain English textbooks for my students when they'd never had them before. Rather, it was the cultural exchange that took place between Americans and Armenians, the sharing of what life is like for each other.
A related accomplishment for me was the chance to encourage young people to study and improve their English, to continue on an educational path and to travel to see the world outside of Armenia.
A few of my English students and other acquaintances will do this and will be successful. Furthermore, help with personal businesses, including development of a bed and breakfast, an outdoor sports company and a small sewing business are directly related to consistent interactions David had with individual Armenians with dreams to fulfill.
Service in the U.S. Peace Corps, which is now more than 50 years old and known worldwide, is difficult yet rewarding. We are pleased to have had the chance to be volunteers and now to be classified as RPCVs – returned Peace Corps volunteers – for the second time. Our experiences cannot be replicated but they can be shared. From day one of our service we regularly heard, "A volunteer determines his or her own experiences." That is what we did. As David says, "We do not think anyone is worse off from our service in Armenia."

Tim Sherwood on our use of the loan system
Sherwood's role
Much has already been written about Tim Sherwood, our Technical Co-ordinator (at the time of writing!), with many anticipating that he will be promoted to a Technical Director/Director of Football style role.
As it stands, though, Sherwood is still very much focused on bridging the gap between our Development Squad (essentially those who have progressed beyond the U18s, either due to age or ability), and the first-team. Part of his remit, as we know, is to manage the loan players – ensuring that they are sent out to an appropriate loan club and properly handled when there.
Previous approach to loans
In a telling interview last week, Sherwood told Alex Aldridge (@accordingtoaldo) from NewsAtDen:
"I will sit down with the new manager and talk in more depth about his philosophy on loaning younger players. But I think there might be a change of tack, because we don't really learn anything from sending players to the Championship for a second time."
It is quite clear, then, that the Manager/Head Coach's view on the loan system is a vital when it comes to decision-making. We know that Redknapp was a big fan of players going out on loan – in this interview with The National, he spoke of the young players he managed at West Ham, saying:
"I have always felt it is far better for talented teenagers to go out on a longish loan spell to a club lower down the leagues where they come up against seasoned pros and have the opportunity to play lots of games rather than sit on the bench or play in games that might come too easy for them."
The problem with the approach taken last year (seemingly based on the above) was that we seemed too quick to get as many players out as possible with, it seemed, little thought as to the selected club. Whilst some players got regular action, others (Carroll, Mason, Khumalo, Bostock, Oyenuga, etc) were struggling to get regular games due to being either unsuited to the loan club's style or indeed to the league that they were sent to play in.
It seems as though lessons have now been learnt, and Sherwood's comment illustrates that we are prepared to lean from experience and change the way that loans are managed.
Harry Kane
The interview was primarily about Harry Kane potentially returning to Millwall for the coming campaign, and Sherwood revealed that this would be unlikely:
"We don't think there's any value in loaning Harry out to the Championship again. He's ticked that box. He may need a few more games if he's not in the frame at Tottenham, but he's going to be given every opportunity to prove himself to the new manager.
If the manager decides he's not ready, that would be the only time we would consider loaning him out. But as we stand, we're not looking to loan him."
Villas-Boas will want to be able to have a close look at Kane in pre-season and potentially use him in the Europa League prior to making a decision on where he will spend the majority of the season.
Loanee clubs
Interestingly, Sherwood also gave some insight as to how Millwall were chosen as a destination – and it does seem to be a case of "who you know not what you know":
"I know Kenny Jackett because we played together at Watford, so there's a connection there. Millwall is a good move for our young boys because it gives them experience and it's local."
However, he was also quick to point out that even a "tried and tested" loanee club will not suit every player:
"Sometimes it works out, as with Kane, but sometimes it doesn't, as with Mason."
This, in my opinion, is the crux, and the key aspect of Sherwood's job; Ryan Mason, the talented number 10, has not had too much luck out on loan, and it might be that he is a player who will be better off amidst the Development or even first-team squad, learning from Villas-Boas and his team. It's Sherwood who ultimately has to make these decisions – which players are suited to loans (and where), which are better off within the confines of the club – and also to pull players back when things are not going to plan (as happened a couple of times last season).
kyle walker is the perfect example of how its done, but its rare to get it just right. wheres kyle naughton ? he looked to have potential but he's spent 2 season's treading water.
[good stuff as per mr WINDY.
Kyle Naughton seemed to do well at Norwich last season which was a good move for him as he had plenty of playing time, which he wouldn't have got if he'd stayed with Spurs for the year.
Would have thought he could be part of the squad this year, as he's able to cover for both full backs and also Europa League games.
Another interesting post, Windy. Thanks.
Kyle Naughton played prem football for Norwich on loan all last season. He played regular but prob still not good enough for spurs first team yet.
Agree with both replies, and I personally think Naughton might be sold. At 23, he really needs to be playing regular first-team football and, although AVB is far more into squad rotation than Redknapp, that may not be enough for him.
Villa and Southampton are rumoured to be chasing him.
Loans in UK are very oft confiscate to cater for financial setback. A few halcyon rules spell loan appropriation present give your search for a fortunate word.

and it proved that Bostock is sh*t.
Which is why Di Canio is trying very hard to get him back at Swindon.
I can see Bostock moving to Swindon permanently.
Kyle Naughton did ok last season. He was a regular Premier League starter with Norwich. Another season of first-team football should do the lad a whole lot of good.
For all of Redknapp's experience with youngsters that have gone on to do well in the Premier League, I was surprised that he seemed not to give our younger players more first XI opportunities. Then again, I guess that's why he sent them out on loan.
Totally agree – thought his handling of the young players was generally really quite poor. He tended to either not use them at all, or chuck them all in at once (which is far from ideal).
Also hated that he often went with two goalkeepers on the bench rather than using a young player.
First of all, congrats to Windy on producing another interesting piece on the more obscure aspects of the club.
Regarding Jibby's comments on the two Kyles, it is clear that they are both decent players, and both have followed the same route (as has Caulker) of being loaned out to increasingly more prestigious league sides. All three of them gained PL experience and they would definitely all walk into our current squad as Walker has proved.
I find myself in agreement with Sherwood. What is the point of repeating a loan of say Harry Kane to Millwall? If he has not improved enough to go up another division, or at least be a regular for a team challenging for the Championship, then he is unlikely to ever be the type of forward we are looking for. that's how the two Kyles and Caulker have done it.
i may be misunderstanding your comment – but are you suggesting Kane did not do well at Millwall? If so, that is wrong, he was a first choice and chalked up quite a few goals and assists… which is why Millwall want him back. Sherwood is surely suggesting either keep him at Spurs or loan him to a Premier League club this year?
Agree with the response – I think the implication is that Kane has now proven that he is good enough for the Championship, so it is now up to him to push on and get himself into AVB's plans.
See Windy's response for an explanation. As with the other three players I mentioned, the question is not whether he is good enough to play in the lower divisions, we know he is. The question is whether he can advance to play just as well at a team in the PL, or at least challenging for the Championship. Thus a second loan (for the purposes of developing the player) to the same club is unlikely to teach us anything new about Kane.
Strictly my opinion, but I have not seen anything about HK that suggests he will ever make it as a regular, but I'd love to be wrong. He is coming up for 19 years of age, and if you look at our most successful strikers over the years, they were first choice at that age, and not "potential possible maybes".
I really think Kane has a chance – he's seen by many as one to look out for in the game. Gareth Southgate is a big fan of his, for example.
I'm still not sure who Kane would play in place of in the 1st team squad. I don't know who in the game to compare him to either. Is he a Robbie Keane style player?
Robbie Keane nowadays maybe – not a Keane of old (shoulder player). Think Sheringham. Likes to come deep, receive the ball to feet, and create with clever reverse passes. He has a good touch and movement, and when he gets a chance he usually hits the target.
And Norwich are supposed to be keen to sign him permanently.
stand corrected re kyleII didnt see or hear much of him last term, but if he's done ok at narrrrritch , sweet, as what i saw of him as a youngster, he looked pretty good and i'd hate to see that potential grow at another club. same with caulker.
Holy shit, a blog linked to NewsNow that isn't the same news regurgitated ad nauseum. I might have to lay down.
Haha, thanks …I think!
Think that Windy hinted that the choice of clubs used for loans is not very scientific. Clubs chosen are based on personal relationships. Would have thought it best to select and build relations with clubs that play football similar to Tottenham.
Personally couldn't understand what players were going to learn about Premier League football from playing at Yeovil. Perhaps TS could widen his network and build links with continental teams where young players are likely to be technically better and less likely to get kicked to bits.
Totally agree with your first comment, Anon.
Re: Yeovil – certainly under Skiverton they were trying to play the right way. My concern is that it's such a long way away that it's difficult for the club to monitor them.
Naughton was continually beaten by wingers while at Norwich and is not good enough for the first team squad. I expect him to be sold and Rose to go out on loan now that Fryers is back up for left back.
Bentley has been to many clubs on loan but has produced nothing for any of them so sometimes it is the player that's to blame and not the club he goes to.
Disagree. Followed the Norwich forums last season and they would be over the moon if he signed on permanently. One of the top 3 players at the club last season, consistent and solid and easily their best defender.
Encouraging signs that the days of flying by the seat of one's pants
are coming to an end.
Signing of Gylfi and Vertonghen and the use by AVB of an established club figure who has been doing a good job would seem to indicate that the club will be put on a more professional footing.
In this respect the use of our main resource,the players,is the most important.
New stadiums and state of the art training facilities are all very well but the waste of talent has been the most upsetting feature of Harry's reign to me.
Spot on, Jimmy. Someone who plans and plans and plans – what a difference, eh?!
One player I was excited about Windy was Soulman Coulibaly but sadly he seems to have gone of the boil. When we bought him he had been a sensation for his country and our fans thought after pre- season he would have cameo roles. Also I believe Bostock has been treated badly and Harry angered his father by saying Lampard went on loan; Well Bostock was bought from Palace a league higher then Brentford he also scored some crackers at Hull so why reward him with a lower club confidants and believe is now lower after his good cameo for Spurs we all thought more would follow to me he has more skill than Livermore.Davspurs
Hello Dav – think it's a bit unfair to say that Coulibaly has gone off the boil, as he's not even 18 until Boxing Day, but I've certainly seen nothing from him to suggest that he's anywhere near ready for first team football.
TBH I heard that Bostock had a few "issues" off the pitch (which could explain some of the poor performances I saw from him in the U18s). Now he has knuckled down, but it could potentially be too late for him at Spurs; don't think he is flavour of the month.
Coulibaly isn't even part of the development squad yet. Might not even be this year. Give him time.
I think Bostock can only play in a certain formation and style, if anything he would probably fit into an AVB system. I think people forget he along with Parrett (who both cost a fee thus get more grief) are only 20. Livermore broke through when he turned 22. Give them a chance, especially Parrett who's actually done well out on loan most of the time.
It's not just us that hold of players longer than the fans seem to expect, look at Man Utd and Everton, both bringing excellent youngsters through but at 22, not 18.
Modern football has changed, maybe for the better maybe for the worst, but the youngsters we see turning out for the first team at 17 nowadays are either Rooneys or more often very quickly forgotten about.
Absolutely – was told that by John McDermott- some players just naturally come through later.
Ive always believed that our youngsters would gain massive experience from being loaned out abroad,personally i would love to see this happen,for them to learn a new culture and adapt to different tatical systems.For me this is the way forward
I think that's a good call in certain circumstances, but it does make it more difficult to keep tabs on them.
Who's the guy out in the US at the minute? Seems to be doing OK despite his remoteness from the club.
And they might get too used to that countries style of football . Meaning they are not ready for the premier league
Might actually be a point to give some of the youngsters more time nowadays. Usually they've been chucked out when they turn 20 (if they're not up to it), but looking at let's say Italy, a lot of the talents there don't really reach the level before they're 23/24.
As said above, I was told by John McDermott that some players just naturally come through later and they hang on to them for longer now.
Harry was just lazy in all aspects of managing our team. His philosophy was just to play all the best players that were available regardless of positions and try and fit them into a formation.
No young player would ever get in the team unless it was an absolute emergency and would only stay there in they were absolutely exceptional (Bale / Walker), which doesn't often happen.
I have often maintained when all the Harry-ites were saying (but we're playing good and got 4th) that a better manager would do so so much better with our squad than he could ever do.
Totally agree with you, Rick. It felt like the "rest of the club" (i.e. not the first team) was just happening around him without any kind of vision or philosophy from him.
@Windy – Do you maintain an up-to-date list of the squad, with positions, ages and contract termination dates?
Would be good to see how it's all coming together (especially with the 25-man squad rule) and where strengthening is actually required?
Funnily enough I started writing this very article last night. I'll try to get something finished over the next week.
when arry got sacked at west ham, i believe that scarred his mentality regarding youth players for life. he hand a decent batch of kids under him, and trusted tony carr 100% . he did a decent job and could have built a good team, but the club sold the players, binned the dough, then sacked him in due course. he obviously knows how to get teams attacking and is a good manager, but he will never look beyond this season and will never become a great manager because of that.
the wonky eyed cunt. 😀
I think he just takes credit for Carr's work tbh!
It appears that Tim Sherwood knows what he's doing
i reckon we keep kane till europa if we progress further and depending upon how much he impresses we either loan him or replace jd who wants to leave with him. Also i hope we spend 30 odd million on siteh stars dzeko ade and AJ as i think they would do well and also allow rvp to join citeh.
High hopes for kane though if only he could be quicker cos from what i have seen he is a bit of a striker vdv with a hefty shot and ability to slide balls on the turn very strong and physical too
I would sell Defoe now tbh. He's at an age where we'll only get one more decent fee for him.
i tink Kyle Naughton shld def cover for Walker & BAE & start in the Europa League & cups. Same for Caulker Kane, Townsend & Rose.
Perhaps a loan for Carroll in the Championship will help.
Bostock? no idea if he will ever make it in the Premiership..
I'm positive that Rose will go – either on loan or permanently.
I don't think Naughton's good enough at left back, which is why I think we're trying to sign Zeki Fryers.
The Harry Kane comments above are littered with ignorance: not ALL strikers come good early and those that do often go off the boil by 26(Owen, Fowler). Some actually come good only in the early mid 20s(Lineker) and that is why kane should be shown patience. I would lend him out to a middling ballplaying PL side
Wigan? Would suit him well I think. Long way away, mind.
The vast majority of players really come through later than 18-19. And, as mentioned, the ones who are superstars at that age often tail off/don't get much better (probably because they aren't as good as the media tell them they are). We are obsessed with getting the next top youngster – truth is the next top player might be an average-good one at 23 right now.
Spot on.
Point 1: Rotation to keep players happy is IMPOSSIBLE. The only way it is possible is the way that Harry did it last season. A cup squad and a league squad. Arsenal, Man U and Liverpool do it….and so did we. You want your best players to play 30-40 games a season otherwise you are weakening your squad merely to give GDS, Bentley or Niko 6 runouts instead of 3…. Makes no sense, and you get no benefit. Occasional resting is an acceptable reason – if the guy really needs it. The likes of Messi, Ronaldo do not need it – and neither to BAE, Bale, Modric, Walker – barring say 1 or 2 games. I accept that Scott Parker got knackered last season. That is because Hudd was injured all season, Sandro for half the season (and stuggling for form mostly) and Livermore is too green. Also Parker has been unlucky in his career, and has never played a 30 game season before now – so wasn't used to it.
Point 2 – Harry Kane (as many have mentioned) is about to be 19. Strikers making it at this age are incredibly rare. It is clear that he is not a Rooney, Owen or Fowler (because he isn't scouse?) because those other 3 were demanding to be picked through ridiculous scoring ability. We have proven that Kane is not that from his time at Millwall, so no rush job needed. Let him mature in his own time, and loan him out to some choice locations. He does not come across like an AVB type player anyway.
I totally disagree with your first point. Ferguson is the master of keeping players happy with regular rotation, and it is certainly possible. Best players should play between 25 and 35 games a season to keep them fresh.
You honestly tink BAE and Walker don't need resting? Did you not notice their form dips due to exhaustion? BAE regularly tweeted about being exhausted.
On the other hand – ABSOLUTELY agree re: Kane, except that I think he could potentially be an AVB player as he has genuine football intelligence.
Mourinho is quoted as saying the ideal is two top players for each position. I don't think he meant one for league and one for cup either.
It was clear that strong squad or not Harry didnt think this way, letting Corluka go on loan and bringing back a youngster that would only ever be replacing walker if his leg fell off.
As of Kane, I am now quite excited by him, he still doesn't bustle as much as I would like, but he does look clever, like Barmby did at his age. And before I get mocked for praising Barmby, he was a great potential who would have done well to stay away from Left Wing
I think two is the ideal too – and I also totally agree on Kane. Barmby is an interesting comparison, hadn't considered that one but you've got a point.
Just watched Kane in the England U19 game against France.
Scored a well taken goal, set up the first with an astute pass, took an excellent free kick and showed strength and work rate from midfield.Some quality passes to the wings.
Would benefit from staying with the squad until at least Xmas and then going on loan to Prem. club depending on the Europa/cup situation in January.
I think Kyle might be able to play for Spurs, he's seen some action at Norwich…he's ready for the big league

Department of Revenue News Release
September 03, 2009Management Contracts Awarded for Bethany, Creve Coeur, Marshfield, Palmyra, Steelville & Warsaw License Offices
JEFFERSON CITY - A new competitive bidding process put into place by Gov. Jay Nixon has been used to select the agents for six more local motor vehicle/license offices.
The offices awarded today are in Bethany, Creve Coeur, Marshfield, Palmyra, Steelville and Warsaw. This brings to 75 the total number of offices granted under the new system.
Debra J. Kinnison of Ridgeway will operate the license office in Bethany. Ms. Kinnison, who has previous experience working in business and at Graceland University, is a new agent for the office. The location of the office will remain at 4114 Miller St.
Alternative Opportunities, Inc. of Springfield has been awarded the Creve Coeur License Office. The not-for-profit-corporation, which provides employment services and assistance to young people, the disabled and families in crisis, is a new agent for the office. The location of the office will remain the same - 12943 Olive Street Rd.
The Marshfield Public Schools Foundation, which contributes to services that benefit local students, is the new agent for the Marshfield License Office. The location of the office will stay at 101 E. Jefferson St.
Larry Markley of Hannibal is the new agent for the Palmyra License Office. Mr. Markley has a variety of experience in business and with the U.S. Army. The office will remain inside the Marion County Courthouse at 100 S. Main St.
The Steelville License Office will continue to be operated by Cynthia R. Brinkman of Steelville. Ms. Brinkman has been the office agent since 2008. The office will remain at 207 W. Main St.
Wanda Brown of Lincoln has been awarded the right to operate the Warsaw License Office. Ms. Brown has been the office agent since 2005, and the office will stay at 237 W. Main St.
Details about any changes in office operations, if any, will be announced by the agents.
The six offices awarded today are the latest to have their management chosen using a comprehensive bidding process that was implemented when Gov. Nixon took office on Jan. 12. The process calls for people or groups to submit detailed bids to obtain the management contracts to operate the offices. The Palmyra License Office received one bid; Bethany, Marshfield, Steelville and Warsaw each received two bids; and Creve Coeur received six bids.
This new process was codified in state law when Gov. Nixon signed legislation on July 1 that made the new system a permanent part of state law. The bill endorsing the change passed with overwhelming bipartisan majorities in the Missouri Senate and House.
"This new system takes the politics out of the system," Gov. Nixon said. "In addition, those bidding on the offices have an incentive to improve customer service since better customer service plans will more likely result in a winning bid."
Alana M. Barragán-Scott, acting director of the Missouri Department of Revenue, also noted that accountability of local license offices will increase.
"In the past, office agents had no incentive to improve their operations because they knew their status would not change as long as their political benefactors were in power," she said. "Under the new system, however, incumbent agents can't be complacent because they are likely to have competition to manage the offices. The result will be that both incumbent office agents and new bidders will compete to discover new ways to increase office efficiency and improve how customers are treated."
Some winning bidders have chosen to return part of their estimated office revenues to the state. The Creve Coeur License Office will return 5 percent ($15,722) of its first-year revenues, Marshfield will return 4 percent ($7,007), Palmyra will return 1 percent ($586), Steelville will return one-half of 1 percent ($222), and Warsaw will return one-half of 1 percent ($583). There was no return to the state bid from the Bethany proposal. The cumulative amount of estimated funds that will be returned to the state in the first contract year from the 75 license offices that have been awarded so far is $473,598.
"The willingness of agents to return some of their revenues is a great cost-efficiency measure for the state, and the amount returned to the state will undoubtedly grow as more bids are awarded," Barragán-Scott said. "This money, once kept as profits by office operators, will now be able to be used for a variety of vital state services."
Of the 183 license offices, 75 have been awarded and the bidding time has closed for another 83. For a list of winning bidders for license offices, please go to http://oa.mo.gov/purch/awardedfeeoffices.pdf.
All local license offices provide services that are overseen by the Missouri Department of Revenue, but each office is operated by an independent contractor. Transactions that are conducted at these offices include the issuance and renewal of driver licenses, applying for titles for motor vehicles, and the issuance and renewal of registration for motor vehicles, boats and outboard motors.
Additional information on the bids will be posted by the Missouri Office of Administration within the next few days.

State health officials were in town Tuesday to hear arguments for and against Morton Hospital's plan to close its 13-bed pediatric unit.
The Department of Public Health held the hearing, which took place at the Taunton Public Library, as part of a state review of the hospital's proposal.
State health officials were in town Tuesday to hear arguments for and against Morton Hospital's plan to close its 13-bed pediatric unit.
The Department of Public Health held the hearing, which took place at the Taunton Public Library, as part of a state review of the hospital's proposal.
Throughout most of the hearing, a packed crowd of local pediatricians, nurses from the hospital, officials from local public health organizations and everyday citizens from the Taunton area rallied against the plan to shut down the unit and expressed concern that the decision to close it was motivated by profits. The opponents to the closure cited various reasons that the unit should remain open, including the need for access to acute pediatric care for low income families that don't have means of transportation to facilities in Boston or Providence, and the quality of the experienced nurses who work in the Level II pediatric unit, among many other points.
Top ranking hospital officials and a spokesperson for Morton's for-profit corporate owner Steward Healthcare, which bought the Taunton medical facility in 2011 with plans of investment and commitment to the community, spoke in favor of closing the pediatric unit. Morton Hospital President Kimberly Bassett said that the pediatric unit's low volume of patients made it impossible to retain or recruit physicians, and that children deserve a higher level of care that comes with a pediatric unit staff that has skills honed from a larger amount of admissions.
"Following this hearing, the Department will make a determination as to whether the service to be discontinued is necessary to preserving access and health status in the hospital service area," said Sherman Lhones, assistant director of the Division of Health Care Quality at Department of Public Health (DPH). "The department will consider evidence presented at this hearing for current utilization of this service, the capacity for alternate sites to provide the service, and other relevant information available to the department."
Lhones, who oversaw the meeting, said that DPH will make its determination within 15 days. If the department finds that the service to be discontinued is necessary to preserving access and health status, the department will require hospital to submit a plan assuring access to the service within 15 calendar days of its finding. The DPH will respond to the hospital in writing with approval or written comments, to which the hospital must respond, Lhones said.
"DPH will work closely with the hospital and with other area providers to ensure that any plan includes the appropriate continuity of care for patients in the area," said Anne Roach, a DPH spokesperson.
During the meeting, Bassett and other hospital officials said that they would be offering space to another provider to staff the pediatric unit with a $1 rent. Bassett also said the hospital would be adding a small, dedicated pediatric observation unit with four beds, located in the emergency department and staffed by emergency department workers, for short hospital stays.
State Sen. Marc Pacheco, D-Taunton, who supported Steward's takeover of Morton because the company's promises to invest in the hospital, spoke out against the closure of the unit. Pacheco said he was troubled that Steward bought the company, commiting to keeping Morton as a community hospital, before soon closing the pediatric unit that has been open since 1957.
Pacheco said recent advertisements put out by Steward — which said it would be harmful to keep the pediatric unit open – were "insulting." After the hearing, Pacheco quoted Steward Health Care CEO Ralph de la Torre, from comments made in the announcement of Morton's purchase two years ago, stating the "we believe that patients should not have to travel to get their care, rather it is our goal to bring world class care to patients where they live."
Steward spokesperson Christopher Murphy said "the grandstanding by the Senator on such an important issue was very disappointing, particularly when you consider that he has no clinical knowledge or information on the subject matter."
Pacheco responded saying that the "grandstanding" comment was a "low blow," and that it doesn't speak highly of Steward.
"What I was doing was my job," said Pacheco, who is currently vice chair of the state legislature's public health committee. "I still hope that things can work out. Unfortunately those types of comments continue to undermine the credibility of Steward."
Pacheco, and several nurses who spoke during the hearing, challenged the pediatric unit census numbers put forth by Steward, owned by a New York-based financial private equity firm called Cerberus, by instead citing daily assignment sheet figures collected by nurses who work in the unit. While Steward says that it has an average of less than one admission each day — or 285 in a year — opponents to the pediatric unit's closure said that daily assignment sheets at the unit show otherwise, with four to eight patients being cared for each day with common conditions such as dehydration and breathing problems.
Mary Wilkinson, an acute care pediatric nurse for the past eight years at Morton, said that, "our busy months will show you that our daily census has been as many as 10 patients in one day." Wilkinson said the assignment sheets at the pediatric unit "tell a very different story than what you have been led to believe."
Murphy said that the problem is Tufts Medical Center cancelled its contract to continue providing acute pediatric care at Morton because of low volume. No other hospitals will come to provide the care, and no local pediatricians that Steward has approached will do it, Murphy said.
"Finances had nothing to do with this and still have nothing to do with it," Murphy said. "We've explored every option. Once Tufts is gone, (the pediatric unit) has no coverage. … This is about quality and safety."
Dr. Harvey Kowaloff, vice president for medical affairs at Morton, agreed with Bassett, saying that "repetition and experience" is needed for the pediatric unit staff to provide top quality care.
"You wouldn't want surgery from a surgeon who performs two times a week," Kowaloff said. Responding to those who referenced the pediatric units history of 50 years in the community, Kowaloff said he understands concern by staff and members of the community but "time has past and medical practices continue to evolve."
Taunton Mayor Thomas Hoye, Jr., defended the pediatric unit at Morton, saying that the decision to close the unit "caught him off guard" and questioned whether Steward foresees any other changes like this in the future. City Council President John McCaul and City Councilor Sherry Costa Hanlon also spoke to the importance of the pediatric unit, providing personal experiences with the quality of care there and talking about the backlash they've heard from constituents who are against the closure.
Many retired nurses, current emergency department nurses and several nurses now on the pediatric unit spoke out, saying that the service was important to local families and that the company was not doing enough to promote the hospitalist position at the pediatric unit. Several questions Steward's logic about their skills stagnating with low volumes, explaining that several nurses have been recognized as top quality professionals in the state, and that all the nurses go through continual education and certification processes to maintain and expand their skills.
"I am asking Steward to reconsider and to keep our children in their family," said Kathy daGraca, a nurse at the pediatric unit for 30 years. "I pray that no child is adversely affected by this proposed closure. … I am fearful that removing this service from our community could result in some families hesitating to seek care for their sick children as they will not have to endure lengthy ER visits with potential transfers to hospitals miles away."
Pacheco said the matter would ultimately come before DPH Acting Commissioner Cheryl Bartlett and the state Attorney General Martha Coakley's Office.
"This is a unique situation, this is not the typical nonprofit hospital closing a unit," he said.

A Visit To Clauss Dairy FarmsHilmar, CA
I was recently invited by the California Milk Advisory Board to tour Clauss Dairy Farms in Hilmar, CA. I think it is important to approach food with a farm to table curiosity — to ask where it comes from and how it is produced. At Clauss, I saw how the cows lived and how they were treated, and I even got to pet them!
Clauss Dairy Farms raises brown Jersey cows, and the farm raises over 3,500 cows. Clauss is a family-owned business started by Richard Clauss. His daughter, Kimberly, now works alongside him in the business.
The cows are free to roam between an outdoor pasture and a large covered barn. They're fed hay and grain, and given plenty of clean water. Each cow has access to their own stall with clean bedding that they can lie down on. The cows at Clauss get 12 hours of rest per day. They were all very laid back and relaxed, although a bit shy. I got to pet a few, and some even licked my hand! They were quite curious about us, looking at us with big brown eyes fringed with long eyelashes.
When the cows are milked, they're led to a large covered area with fans blowing to keep things cool, and one by one they step onto a "carousel," which is a circular track with divided sections for each cow. One by one, the cows' udders are fitted with the milk pumping machines, and the track rotates counterclockwise. When the cow completes a full 360-degree rotation on the carousel, she calmly steps off and wanders back to the barn and chews more hay. It was very interesting to watch and the cows were rather nonchalant about it all.
Clauss takes food safety seriously. Sick cows are immediately isolated from the herd and not brought back to milking until they are free of any medications and antibiotics, so the milk supply doesn't get contaminated. The milk goes through a rigorous screening process, so it's constantly tested to ensure quality.
Consider visiting your local dairy farm and seeing the farm to table process of how milk is made - it's very interesting and makes a great family outing.
