Alaska Fire Portal
The Alaska Fire Portal provides information about fire science and technology relevant to Alaska. Our goal is to provide "one-stop shopping" for resource managers, decision makers, scientists, students, and communities who want access to the results of efforts to understand and manage fire and fuels on lands in Alaska. Content may also be relevant to boreal forests of western Canada.
A substantial amount of the Alaska-related content was originally compiled through the FIREHouse project (the Northwest and Alaska Fire Research Clearinghouse), funded by the Joint Fire Science Program, and its two related projects: the Alaska Reference Database, (which was merged the FRAMES Resource Catalog, accessible through the "Catalog Records" tab below) and the Alaska Fire and Fuels Research Map, hosted through the AICC ArcIMS mapping website.

Consider submitting an abstract to this session, organized by Carly Philllips, Brendan Rogers, and Peter Frumhoff. Abstracts are due July 31. The AGU fall meeting is December 9-13 in San Francisco.
As climate change increases the frequency and intensity of wildfires, wildfires themselves exacerbate climate change through the release of greenhouse gases and black carbon. Together with expanding populations, this reinforcing cycle also leads to destruction of critical infrastructure, negative health outcomes from smoke, and loss of life. Fire management, however, has the potential to protect carbon, ecosystems, and human well-being, and minimize feedbacks to climate change and thus the intensification of wildfires. The aim of this session is to explore how fire management can interrupt this wildfire cycle, and reduce the impacts of climate change while minimizing the consequences of carbon loss. Organizers encourage abstracts that address interactions between wildfire science, public health, and climate policy, with an emphasis on those that address (1) feedbacks between wildfires and climate change, (2) impacts of wildfire on public health and (3) fire management as a strategy to limit atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations.

Job: Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Fire Science - Tall Timbers - Tallahassee, Florida (posted Jun 5, 2019)
Tall Timbers Wildland Fire Science Program has received Department of Defense funding from the Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program to characterize multiscale feedbacks between forest structure, fire behavior and fire effects. This work seeks to advance more mechanistic predictions of fire effects through the application and advancement of coupled fire-atmospheric modeling to empirical study of surface fire regimes. The project is field-intensive and includes intensive fire-line experimentation campaigns using a variety of spatial and temporal monitoring techniques. This post-doctoral fellowship has up to 3.5 years of funding to lead integration efforts of multidisciplinary empirical fire behavior and forest measurements. The position will oversee data management, analysis, and data integration of 3D fuel characterization, fire behavior, fire effects, and 3D flows. The position will also facilitate the transfer of pre- and post-burn datasets to fire behavior modeling teams at Los Alamos National Laboratory and Colorado State University. The incumbent will play a key role in advancing our understanding of heat transfer to vegetation during fire and in improving post fire effects prediction. Primary duties are to assist the Wildland Fire Scientist and project collaborators with implementation of the study plan, help supervise field data acquisition, facilitate data transfer among participating organizations, and lead spatially explicit analysis of energy transfer and resulting fire effects. Other duties range from publication writing and preparation for submission to peer-reviewed journals, administering project management software, budget reporting, and student advisement.
The Landscape Research Analyst supports TWS's science team in bringing spatial analysis to its conservation programs. The position has 3 primary responsibilities: conducting spatial analyses to support scientific research, applying analytical tools in priority landscapes, and fulfilling requests for quick-turnaround maps and analysis. This is an exceptional opportunity for a conservation science professional to apply their spatial analysis expertise to conservation work throughout the country.
The analyst position is part of the research team and works collaboratively with staff across departments. The position supports geospatial analysis to identify and deepen our understanding of conservation priorities and impacts of energy development and climate change by 1) conducting spatial analysis and modeling with raster and vector data, 2) acquiring, organizing, and developing spatial and tabular databases, 3) disseminating results as maps and tabular data, and 4) conveying an understanding of spatial analyses and results through oral communication, written reports, scientific publications, and other products. Analyses include, but are not limited to, quantifying relationships between diverse ecological or social data, conducting analyses of ecosystem representation and landscape connectivity, and assisting ecologists in the development and application of geospatial models.

A letter in the Feb. 26 Tomahawk Leader
Dear Editor:
Snowmobiling is too much fun. The do-gooders have to do something to put the screws to that. They want to take away driver's license points for drunken driving on a snowmobile. You're driving on off-road machines, on a woods trail, so what has that got to do with driver's license? You don't have to have a driver's license to drive a snowmobile in the first place. They take away points in Minnesota – so move to Minnesota, you'll be safe from Wisconsin snowmobiliers. I thank God we snowmobiled for years when you never gave any thought to anything but having a good time. This was before the days of the do-gooders.
I see we even had … David Savini undercover reporter analyzing the inappropriate, repulsive drinking habits of Wisconsin snowmobilers. The death of snowmobilers are lumped together as driving while intoxicated, whether the person had one drink or 10 drinks. I think a lot of accidents, are not too much to drink, but today's right out of the box, 100 mph machines that leave no margins of error for even the sober, experienced rider. Many resident riders and out of state riders buy a new muscle sled and are inexperienced and over ride their ability to safely control the sled.
Please no more laws, to take away what little joy we have left, like the one rider said, "If I get killed snowmobiling, tell the undertaker not to wipe the happy smile off my face."
George Mondeik
Snowmobiling is too much fun

Most of those participating in Hope College's commencement exercises on Sunday, May 6, knew that they were receiving a degree. Martie Bultman didn't.
The wife of President James E. Bultman, she received a Doctor of Humane Letters (L.H.D.) degree during a surprise presentation shortly before the 690 members of the graduating Class of 2012 crossed the stage at the DeVos Fieldhouse. The recognition celebrated her distinguished service to Hope and the Holland community and in special education, especially during the past 13 years that she and her husband have been the college's first couple.
"Since President Bultman was hired in 1999, we have had the privilege of having his wife, Martha (Martie), involved in all aspects of campus life and in the Holland community," said Dr. Diane Portfleet, associate professor of English at Hope, who was among those who nominated Bultman for the degree. Portfleet and Bultman have served together as co-advisors of the college's chapter of Mortar Board for the past eight years. "Martie has consistently involved herself in the lives of students, attending their activities in all disciplines, eating dinner with them many times in the dining halls, and having numerous students individually and in groups in her home. She has served on many boards and committees in the Holland community and has used her special knowledge of and love for special education students to promote many activities for them."
Bultman's honorary degree was one of two presented during the event. As announced in April, the college also presented a Doctor of Humane Letters degree to Joel Bouwens of Holland, a 1974 Hope graduate who chaired the college's Board of Trustees from August 2003 through July 2011.
Bultman and her husband both have been enthusiastic and tireless supporters of students and their activities. Throughout their 13-year tenure, they have regularly attended student scholarly presentations, performances, and competition in athletic events, usually together but sometimes individually when activities happened simultaneously—so at least one of them can be present at each. Together they have served communion during the college's Sunday-evening worship services in Dimnent Memorial Chapel, and they also break bread with students by joining them for lunch or dinner in the dining halls, or by inviting them for a meal in the President's Home.
As co-advisor of Hope's Mortar Board chapter, Bultman has been active in attending all of the group's meetings and was involved in all of the chapter's many service projects. The chapter has received multiple awards at the Mortar Board National Conference during each of the past several years, including being named the top chapter during the national conference in July 2010. During the summer 2011 conference, the chapter received a "Golden Torch Award," 12 "Project Excellence" awards, and the second annual "First Book Award" for having been the top chapter in the national "Reading is Leading" Virtual Book Drive Challenge.
Bultman graduated from Hope in 1963, the same year as her husband. She majored in psychology and initially taught elementary-age special-education students in the Portage schools. She took some time off from teaching after son Matthew and daughter Heather were born, but stayed involved in the field as adult coordinator for Special Education Ministry in Holland while her husband was back at Hope as a member of the faculty between 1968 and 1985. Based on her work with the ministry program, she co-authored the "Friendship Series," a religious curriculum for sharing God's love with persons who have disabilities that is used throughout the English-speaking world and has now been translated into Spanish for use in Latin and South America.
She also served the department of education as an observer of student teachers in special education. Realizing that she missed teaching herself, she subsequently taught high school students in Holland's West Ottawa School District from 1979 until 1985. While in Orange City, Iowa, where her husband served as president of Northwestern College from 1985 to 1999, she was a learning disabilities instructor at MOC-Floyd Valley High School.
In addition to her active engagement with the Hope community, she is also involved in service and leadership beyond campus.
Bultman is currently serving her third term on the Board of Directors for Friendship Ministries, and served previously on the Board of Trustees of the Ministerial Formation Coordinating Agency and the steering committee for disability concerns for the Reformed Church in America, as well as the planning committee for Western Theological Seminary's Friendship House. She has also served several community organizations, including as a member of the Holland Area Arts Council Board of Directors and as chairwoman of the Kate Garrod Post Educational Scholarship Fund for the Woman's Literary Club. She and her husband are also active members of Christ Memorial Church in Holland.
Her commitment to special-needs children and service to Hope is celebrated through the Martie Tucker '63 Bultman Scholarship Fund, established in 2004 by the college's Board of Trustees and awarded to senior students majoring in special education with preference to those who have served in Holland's Special Education Ministry Program. This past October, she and James Bultman received the "Hope for Humanity Award" from the college's Alumni H-Club in honor of their service to Hope. In recognition of their student-focus in particular, the college's new student center, planned through the "A Greater Hope" comprehensive campaign, will be named the Jim and Martie Bultman Student Center.

BERKELEY — The formula that gave coach Mike Montgomery his 100th win at Cal on Thursday night involved more 3-point shots than the Bears had attempted all season, gritty defense at the finish … and some strong words by Montgomery.
It added up to a 71-68 victory over Oregon State in front of 8,261 fans at Haas Pavilion, but senior Robert Thurman said Montgomery's message during a timeout with the Bears trailing 51-40 turned the tide.
"Monty really just let us have it," Thurman said. "We really needed it."
"You don't want to know what I said — you can't handle the truth," Montgomery said. "We were just getting our butts kicked. There's no excuse sitting back and letting them do unto you. I don't think anyone disagreed."
The Bears (12-8, 4-4 Pac-12) responded by cranking up their aggressiveness over the final 15:49 and made big plays down the stretch to overcome the last-place Beavers (11-10, 1-7).
Justin Cobbs gave Cal the lead for good, hitting a 3-pointer with 2:48 left for a 67-66 advantage.
The teams traded baskets before Allen Crabbe rebounded a missed 3-pointer by Cobbs and the Bears ran the clock inside 30 seconds. Cobbs drove into the lane and dished the ball to Richard Solomon, who dunked with 17.6 seconds left.
Thurman blocked a shot by Devon Collier with 7.3 seconds left, and the Bears' defense did not allow the Beavers to get off another shot.
"It shows what kind of defensive team we are when we put our minds to it," Cobbs said of the final sequence.
The game was not easy for the Bears — few of them have been.
Faced with a long-armed OSU zone defense, the Bears attempted a season-high 26 3-pointers. They made nine. The trade-off was Cal attempted just two free throws all night.
"I was thinking we're not going to get any," Montgomery said.
Crabbe led the Bears with 15 points on a night when he shot just 5 for 16. Cobbs scored 11 of his 14 points in the second half and added seven assists.
For a change, those two got plenty of support from Cal's big men. Solomon had 12 points and seven rebounds, David Kravish also scored 12, and Thurman came off the bench to contribute eight points, six rebounds, three assists and two blocks.
Those three combined to make 16 of 21 shots.
Montgomery also credited senior guard Brandon Smith for delivering tough defense down the stretch against OSU's Roberto Nelson, who scored 25 points.
"He knew his job," Montgomery said of Smith. "He stayed aggressive. We need more people who do that."
The Bears led early when shots were falling, then went through a first-half stretch in which they made just two of 14 attempts. The Beavers led 41-33 at halftime and by as many as 12 points in the second half.
The win was critical for Cal, which can pull within two games of league-leading and 10th-ranked Oregon (18-3, 7-1) with a victory over the Ducks on Saturday afternoon. Oregon comes off a 76-52 loss at Stanford on Wednesday.

More than a third of drivers do not know what the speed limit is on roads, a new study has revealed.
OnePoll questioned 2,000 people on behalf of Co-operative Insurance, with 36 per cent of them unaware that the national limit on a dual carriageway was 70mph.
More than a quarter (27 per cent) believed it was 60mph, while two per cent thought it was 80mph or higher.
Motorists in London had the least awareness of speed limits, but, so often thought of as being more dangerous – younger drivers had the greatest knowledge of the limits.
Steve Kerrigan of the Co-operative Insurance, said: "These figures show that all too often drivers are getting into their cars and driving with no real awareness of the speed limits in place.
"It is interesting that younger drivers - who are so often thought as being more dangerous - are so much more aware of national speed limits than older, often more experienced drivers."

Phuket Aqurium is part of the internationally renowned Phuket Marine Biological Center (PMBC), located on the southernmost tip of Cape Panwa on Phuket Island. It is surrounded by breathtaking scenic bays and islands and is the perfect destination for a family excursion.
Enter the aquarium and find yourself in an amazing underwater world with over 150 different species from freshwater and marine habitats, most of them local species from the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand. The aquarium`s interactive displays take you on an environmental journey through rivers, lakes and precious, endangered coral reefs, mangroves and estuaries. All information is provided in Thai and English and includes both common names and interesting facts about the animals.
The Aquarium makes education fun with its many different displays of marine life, habitats as well as environmental and conservation issues: Learn about the relationships between the animals, encounter our big guys like electric eels, octopuses, sea turtles and sharks and admire the babies from our ocean nursery like the famous "Nemo" or the cute cuttlefish!
Another highlight is a walk trough our large tunnel tank: Immerse yourself in the ocean being surrounded by huge sting rays, groupers, wrasses, sharks and swarms of snappers. Reach the end of the tunnel and you are greeted by eight massive man-sized Giant Groupers in their 110-ton tank that have been living in the Aquarium for over 20 years!
Phuket Aquarium was established in 1983 as unit of the PMBC, a research and monitoring center under the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment. The Aquarium has developed into a major destination on Phuket Island and attracts about 300.000 visitors per year, including 40.000 tourists.
Its mission is to increase the public awareness and understanding about marine and coastal environments and to promote the sustainable management of our coasts and oceans.

Supreme Court's gene patent ruling could boost patient care, experts say
The Supreme Court'sruling that human genes cannot be patented has been met with excitement from doctors over the implications for patient health. Other experts, however, questioned whether there will be a widespread impact.
The high court's ruling threw out some patents previously held by Myriad Genetics Inc., a Salt Lake City-based company that had patented a genetic test for the BRCA gene that's associated with increased risks for breast and ovarian cancers.
"We hold that a naturally occurring DNA segment is a product of nature and not patent eligible merely because it has been isolated," said Justice Clarence Thomas, who wrote the court's unanimous decision.
The court, however, also ruled that synthetic DNA -- called cDNA -- could be patented by a company.
The full decision of Association for Molecular Pathology et al. v. Myriad Genetics,Inc., et. al can be found on the Supreme Court's website.
The lawsuit against the genetics company included plaintiffs from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP) and other medical professional associations, on behalf of researchers, patients and women's health groups.}
It stemmed from Myriad's specific patents for the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. Mutations of these genes raise risk for breast and ovarian cancer. Not every woman who has a mutated BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene will develop cancer, however they are at much greater risk.
About 12 percent of women will develop breast cancer in their lives, according to the National Cancer Institute, but about 60 percent of women with a harmful BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation will develop the disease. For ovarian cancer, lifetime risk for most women is 1.4 percent, but for women who inherited the faulty BRCA genes, the risk estimate climbs to 15 to 40 percent.
For some groups, like Askenazi Jewish women, the risk could be as high as 1 in 40 women.
Angelina Jolie recently brought attention to BRCA genes when she announced her decision to undergo a preventive double mastectomy. She tested positive for a "faulty" BRCA1 gene, and her mother had died at a relatively young age of cancer, prompting Jolie to surgically remove her breasts before the cancer developed.
Myriad's genetic test has been covered for some patients with insurance if they meet criteria for being at high risk for the cancers, but not all were covered. Those individuals and people without insurance faced a test upward of more than $4,000 to determine their risk. Experts expect those prices to fall given the Supreme Court's ruling.
"I think that a major barrier to patient care and medical innovation was struck down today with the Supreme Court's ruling," Dr. Myra F. Barginear, a breast medical oncologist at the Cancer Institute of North Short-LIJ Health Systems in New York, told CBSNews.com in an email. "Because of this ruling, patients will have greater access to genetic testing and scientists can engage in research on these genes without fear of being sued." Barginear was not involved in the trial.
Some of the plaintiffs agreed with this sentiment.
"This [ruling] is correcting something that was probably a bit off-kilter for many years," said Dr. Steve Kroft, a professor of pathology and spokesperson for the American Society for Clinical Pathology, told CBSNews.com Thursday. "In this new age of genetic medicine, it's setting the stage for great advances to come."
Kroft calls the ruling a victory for patients, saying Myriad's patent on the test was not in the best interest of women's health.
"It's going to improve access, lower costs, and allow for innovation that wouldn't have happened otherwise," he said.
The Associated Press reports that not long after the ruling, DNATraits, part of Houston-based Gene By Gene, Ltd., announced plans to offer BRCA gene testing in the United States for $995.
The technology for these tests, or assays, is standard and has existed for some time, Kroft pointed out, but the only limiting factor was the patent protection on the gene itself. Besides a price drop, he predicts some companies may now manufacture genetic tests that look for multiple genetic mutations tied to other diseases, in addition to BRCA.
"What it opens the door to is much cheaper testing for a gene that is very important to understand," Dr. Debu Tripathy, a professor of medicine at the University of Southern California's Keck School of Medicine who also serves as co-leader of the Women's Cancer Program, told CBSNews.com.
"But really the bigger picture is we're going to be using genetic information more and more as time goes on," he said.
Tripathy predicts the market will shift to tests being based on their own merits, e.g. how effective they are, the level of the company's customer service and other like factors, as opposed to a proprietary stake driving the testing. While the ruling could make genetic testing a lot easier, he pointed out the big challenge of finding out how the gene causes cancer and affects patient care will remain.
Besides breast and ovarian cancers, other areas of medicine the ruling may impact are the genetics behind rejection of organ transplants and rare diseases. Patenting concerns over the inherited genetic abnormalities that cause rare diseases may have staved off some companies previously, Tripathy said.
Myriad in a statement pointed out that its test, BRCAAnalysis, is widely reimbursed by private insurers, Medicare and Medicaid. The company emphasized the Court upheld its patent claims on cDNA.
"We believe the Court appropriately upheld our claims on cDNA, and underscored the patent eligibility of our method claims, ensuring strong intellectual property protection for our BRACAnalysis test moving forward," Peter D. Meldrum, president and CEO of the company, said in a press release. "More than 250,000 patients rely upon our BRACAnalysis test annually, and we remain focused on saving and improving peoples' lives and lowering overall healthcare costs."
"While we are confident that Myriad offers the highest quality genetic tests in the world, we also support patients' rights to seek second opinion tests from any of the many laboratories conducting BRCA testing for the purpose of confirming the Myriad test result," Meldrum added.
Patent lawyers questioned whether the ruling would affect the broader industry's landscape all that much.
Matthew McFarlane a lawyer at Robins, Kaplan, Miller & Ciresi L.L.P., told the AP that most companies by now have moved on from patenting isolated DNA, instead looking at synthetic options to protect their investments.
"On a day-in and day-out basis, I don't see this changing that part of the industry," McFarlane said. "Isolated DNA itself is not something that companies seek to protect anymore."
Tripathy also noted there's concern that the ruling would have a "chilling effect" on the genetic testing industry, and said, "We don't know the answer to that yet."
It is a complicated situation for these companies, Kroft said, but he noted the typical approach has often been to patent the method of finding the gene, instead of the gene itself.
"I don't think this will stifle innovation," he said. "The innovation typically comes in the method."
Mark Bartholomew, professor in the University of Buffalo Law School in New York, who specializes in intellectual property, law and technology, said in an emailed statement that the court's ruling struck a "cautious middle ground" that could negatively impact the research industry.
"Given the high stakes here -- the Court's decision could either result in sky-high prices for potentially lifesaving medical treatments or decimate the incentives for research in the biotechnology industry -- the Court's split-the-baby approach is not surprising," he said.

Battery Park Hotel
|Battery Park Hotel - 1880s
Battery Park Hotel is believed to be haunted by Helen Clevenger. She was in Ashville visiting her uncle W. L. Clevenger. On July 17, 1936, she was found brutally murdered in room 224. She was shot and savagely beaten with her face slashed. Police arrested hotel hallboy Martin Moore after interviewing numerous witnesses and possible suspects. Moore claimed he was beaten in to confessing . He died in the gas chamber in December 1936.
On stormy nights, Helen is seen wandering the halls of the old hotel. The hotel has also been the scene of a number of suicides who would jump off the roof. On September 4, 1943 a U.S. Government Official, Clifton Alheit allegedly committed suicide in this manner. People have reported seeing "bodies" falling from the roof and a tragic suicide replaying itself over and over. A male spirit was also seen by staff members. His identity is unknown but it is believed he may have been murdered in the hotel at some point. Since the building was converted to apartments, he is no longer seen.

I recently got some feedback that the accessibility checker I posted for Designer would fail for some forms.
I have updated the script to handle the condition that was causing it to fail. The new version is in the updated Accessibility.zip download. This time I also included the mxml source used to create the SWF dialog — just in case you want to customize it for your own use.
Meanwhile, I also added a check for a new error condition:
"Invalid next node reference: <ref>"
This error will appear in the case where the markup generated for node traversal contains an invalid SOM reference.
If you're using this checker and have any ideas for improvement, please let me know. It's a high priority for us to enable customers to create accessible content.
Usage notes
A couple more notes about the checker, and macros in general:
- When a macro issues a message, the message appears in the log tab of Designer. If the macro script fails for some reason, this is also where the failure message will appear
- With the very latest Acrobat update, you might find that the report PDF gets launched with a yellow bar warning. The only way to get past this right now is to turn off enhanced security In Reader/Acrobat. Obviously we'll have to figure out a better solution if/when this capability makes its way to a supported product feature.

They were a popular food with Native Americans who included them in pemmican and game dishes, as well as medicinally to treat blood poisoning. They are believed to be native to the bogs of both Europe and North America.
Cranberry is acidic, sour, cool, and considered an antiscorbutic (prevents scurvy), bronchodilator, urinary antiseptic, antifungal, antiviral, and vasodilator. Cranberry inhibits the adhesion of bacteria (often E. coli) to the urinary tract, perhaps due to a polymer contained in the plant.
They have been used to treat asthma, burning urine, cancer, cystitis, diabetes, fever, hemorrhoids, kidney stones, poor appetite, skin disorders, and urinary tract infections. They contain vitamin C, bioflavonoids (anthocyanins), ellagic acid and fiber. It is believed that their high flavonoid content is beneficial for in the formation of visual purple, a pigment in the eyes, essential in night vision. They also contain tannic and oxalic acids, which if overused can contribute to the formation of kidney stones, and inhibit the absorption of calcium. Thus, they should thus be used in moderation.
Look for plump, bright red, shiny hard berries. Avoid those that are soft, leaky or shriveled. Good berries actually tend to bounce. They store for up to a couple of months in the refrigerator. The benzoic acid in the berries works as a natural preservative. Commercial berries are frequently treated with growth hormones, though not usually with insecticides.
Berries are tart, can be sweetened with honey or dates, and eaten in jams, relishes, sauces, breads, cakes, juice, and added to stuffing, juice. Dried cranberries can be used in place of raisins.

Uk Practice Not on Par with Us
Fund: Accel Partners
Posted by Anonymous on 2007-08-17
I have met Accell on both sides of the pond and there is a clear divide -- with the UK on the losing end (soft ethics).
As an example, Accel still publisizes the hiring of the X-CEO of Sonera (incumbant operator from Finland). He left in a wave of shame - I beleive he even served jail time for his activities at Sonera. Bad corporate culture spreads -- I know them to back a company in Europe that is far from scrupulous and I oft wonder how far they go for deals. I would be leary of the UK branch.

Bears safety Major Wright says the key to stopping the Lions' offense on Sunday is simple: Pressure Matthew Stafford.
Wright thinks Stafford will break down if the Bears are bringing pressure against him, and that's the way to stop the Lions' passing game.
"You put a little pressure on him, you close the pocket on him, and he hesitates," Wright said Wednesday. "He doesn't make that perfect throw. . . . He can make any throw on that field, so you have to be aware of putting pressure on him because you put a little pressure on him he kind of folds."
The Bears sacked Stafford three times and pressured him many more times in their win over the Lions earlier this season, and Wright said that's what they have to continue to do.
"You don't want to sit back and let him pick you apart because he's a good quarterback, and if he has time he can complete any throw," Wright said. "We definitely want to get in his face and kind of bother him."
That's what the Bears want to do in their must-win game against the Lions on Sunday.

So often when we practice Judo we do each segment of the Judo match in isolation- gripping is done separately from throwing, throwing from moving, tachiwaza from newaza. However, in a contest we have to be able to do all of these things seamlessly being able to grip, move, throw and transition into newaza without pausing significantly in between.
Coaches often therefore use training exercises to help people chain together the separate aspects that we usually train often in isolation. They will use drills where you break a grip, move, T-up and throw and as concerns this article they will use drills that try and replicate the transition from standing into groundwork.
In between the application of a throw, tachiwaza, and the application of a roll, strangle, pin or armlock – newaza- is the transition.
Conceptualising the transition
As I have been taught there are two key elements to the transition they are the connection and the catch. Note that I'm not referring to throwing situations where tori attempts a throw and lands in a pin or where uke becomes tori, during the throw, and lands in a pin. I'm talking about situations where a throw is not applied in a controlled fashion that lands tori in a position to apply a pin.
In these situations there are two key concepts:
The Connection
The Catch
The Connection
As Adams explains and demonstrates above after having performed a throw it is vital that tori remains in contact or connected to uke in order to place himself in the best place to then attack further in newaza.
Tori throws uke and releases his grip on the lapel, whilst maintaining hand contatct:
Tori's hand moves from the lapel to uke's lat muscle and retains control and grip of uke's sleeve
As uke continues to roll from the throw, tori retains contact with his tsurite hand on uke's lat muscle and his hikite hand moves to uke's shoulder
As tori does so he manoeuvres around and with uke so that he retains contact.
Tori continues to stay with uke and finishes in a strong position ready to attack
Here are some examples of tori staying to uke in a contest situation
The Catch
Once you have stayed connected to uke its important that you're able to attack swiftly and purposefully.
In order to go from being connected to uke and in a good control position to an attack you must 'catch' a control point.
A catch comes in many forms and some catches can lead to many techniques and entries.
A hook is a not the same as a catch.
Although a hook is often an excellent precursor to establishing the catch.
The catch is a grip on the collar or arm.
A common catch, for Judo, to start turnovers into pins and armlocks is on the collar
Another is on the forearm
And of course one of the most famous catches of all, in the crook of the elbow, for Adams Juji roll
Another common catch is to send the arm to catch the collar in order to tighten it for applying a strangle.
Tori grasps the collar slightly lower than normal
Tori then brings in the hand that he intends to apply the shimewaza with so that two hands are on the collar
Tori then uses the lower hand, that established the catch to tighten the jacket and thus the shimewaza
Staying connected to uke and getting the catch demonstrated in competition
Practicing the transition
In my opinion practicing the transition from tachiwaza to newaza is as important as practicing the respective parts of Judo. In every competition you enter at some point you will throw imperfectly and need to know how to effectively control the transition and then attack in newaza.
I believe the best way to practice the transition is progressively. That is to stay in a controlled and pre-determined way that builds fundamental skills and then develops them in a planned and structured way.
First and foremost is understanding how to throw and throw with control and to understand how to apply a selection of turnovers.
So once you know how to throw safely and in a controlled manner and have learnt a selection of turnovers you can begin practicing transition training.
Normally the core of transition training is attacking the turtle performing uchikomi until all aspects of the attack against the turtle and well in grained
After that it's important to practice the throw and connection
Once accomplished at those you begin practicing the entire sequence – throw, connect, catch, turn, pin/submit, ippon.
This training methodology can be refined, personalised and specified so that if a player is good at the turn in uchikomi and is good at connecting with uke in live situations, but struggles with the catch in live situations.
Then the drill can be refined so that it becomes; throw, connect, catch, reset thus drilling the catch reflex to improve it.
This training can then shift phase, all above examples are of cooperative training, but as skill, competency and fluidity increase resistance can be progressively added to the drills until finally you reach a full randori situation with a continuation into groundwork permitted.

James and Paul McCartney Sharing Space in Bonnaroo Lineup
James McCartney is taking a big step this year, with a solo tour in support of his first full-length album, the aptly titled 'Me' -- and as luck would have it, his itinerary is putting him on some of the same stages as his famous father Paul.
The two McCartneys performed together at a London show in March, and they'll both be on hand for the Bonnaroo Festival in June. James made the announcement of his addition to the festival lineup via his Facebook page, letting fans know he'll be performing at the eclectic Tennessee event on June 15.
Father and son will reunite later in the summer in San Francisco, when they both take the stage as part of the Outside Lands Festival, scheduled to be held in Golden Gate Park in early August.
While some second-generation musicians take pains to establish themselves apart from their parents' legacies, McCartney has taken a more relaxed approach, enlisting his dad to co-produce his early EPs with frequent family collaborator David Kahne. "For my first album I wanted to make a record that would be intimate, deeply personal, and honest," he explained in the press release announcing the completion of 'Me,' due May 21. "An album that would say, 'This is who I am...both musically and personally. This is me.'"

Whether it is in a movie, televisions show, book, or a game, Ive always found a good mystery to be enjoyable. Trying to be observant, picking up on subtle clues, compiling information, and ultimately, figuring out who or what is responsible. However, Im not saying all mysteries should be serious, as the over-the-top movie Clue is easily one of my all-time favorites. This is the side of whodunits that Guilty Party falls into, not taking itself too seriously but still managing to keep the players attention from start to finish with its charm.
The story of Guilty Party revolves around the family owned and operated Dickens Detective Agency. The family of sleuths that make up the agency are an eccentric and varied bunch. On one hand, youve got characters like Max, an overweight detective who seems like a somewhat realistic portrayal of a real person, and on the other, you have over-the-top characters such as Kid Riddle, a child always wearing a cape and mask, and Charlotte, a senior citizen who loves to perform martial arts on evildoers. Luckily, since the game doesnt take itself seriously, all of these characters fit in perfectly and generate some genuinely humorous dialog and antics during their quest to hunt down the agencys nemesis, Mr. Valentine.
Guilty Partys story mode is what helps to separate the game from the plethora of other party games that have continued to flood the Wii since its release. This mode consists of six levels, a prologue, and a finale, each bookended with humorous cinematics that keep the story moving forward. The prologue does a good job of introducing the player to the concepts they will need to progress through the game and take down Mr. Valentine. These include moving, questioning suspects, collecting clues, narrowing down your suspects (by discovering the criminals height, shape, hair style, and gender), and pudding, which manages to play a large role throughout, even if not in the gameplay.
The game plays out similarly to many board games, having players taking turns moving around what is essentially a board while trying to get to the bottom of each levels mystery. Each turn has the player receiving three coins and picking a savvy card at random from three possible choices. Coins are used to move your character any number of rooms by choosing your destination and then paying a coin to move there. They are also needed in order to interrogate witnesses and collect clues, at the cost of one coin apiece. Either way, paying your coin will instigate a mini-game in which you must perform one of over forty random tasks in order to uncover what youre looking for.
Most of the mini-games involve things related to investigation, such as bribing a witness, dusting for prints, and piecing together shredded clues. However, there are also mini-games that appear completely unrelated, such as picking a persons favorite food, swatting bugs, and patching leaking holes with glue and tape. Even so, the sheer variety of mini-games helps to keep any of them from getting stale. While you may not see the point in one of the mini-games you are tasked with, at least youre not just repeatedly doing the same ten that make sense.
The mini-games in Guilty Party can be humorous, but from a gameplay perspective, they arent always exactly fun or challenging. Almost every mini-game in Guilty Party can be solved by shaking the Wii-Remote erratically, pointing it at the screen, dragging objects, or a combination of the three. This makes completing these tasks almost an afterthought and an inconvenience. However, things get even worse as the game decides that you need to jump up in difficulty.
Rather than giving the player the option of making the game harder or easier, your difficulty level is set depending on how you perform in mini-games. If you do too well, the game will inform you things are going to get harder, giving you no choice in the matter. While this isnt a terrible idea on paper, some of the mini-games are ridiculously unbalanced when played at higher levels. For instance, one mini-game tasks you with shaking the Wii-Remote in order to use a fan to clear the fog away from a witnesss memory. On the easiest difficulty level, there is one memory and it can be cleared in about five seconds. However, on the hardest difficulty, there are three memories which continue to fog back over when not being fanned, making clearing all three in the time allotted insanely difficult. Im not necessarily opposed to a challenge, but when you can breeze through several mini-games without much effort only to get stuck on one in particular for several turns worth of coins, something is wrong.
