Building a consensus agenda on the use of law to protect and improve public health
Health policy change is a powerful tool that has been used to protect and improve the public's health. Many states and localities have adopted comprehensive smoke-free laws to limit exposure to secondhand smoke; most states have used the Model Turning Point Act to assess their existing public health laws and have enacted legislation or resolutions based on the Model Act; and some states and school boards have adopted laws and policies to encourage physical activity among school age children and to improve the nutritional value of foods and beverages that are available in schools. Unfortunately, there does not exist, as yet, a set of practical recommendations to build public health law competencies. In many jurisdictions, the legal resources devoted to public health are quite limited. Lawyers have little understanding of public health. Public health practitioners have limited knowledge of the law. Consequently, legal expertise is not readily available to support new public health initiatives. The lack of effective and sustained collaboration between the two disciplines adversely affects the ability of both professions to address public health concerns. In addition, the lack of communication linkages hampers support of dissemination of critical findings and practices to practitioners who advocate for health policy change. The overall goal of this collaborative project is to create an agenda for building public health law capacities at multiple levels and communication linkages that could provide a useful tool for health policy change. The deliverables for this project include: (1) three research papers examining opportunities to advance individual capacities in public health law, municipal and state-level capacities in public health law and opportunities to build public health law communication linkages; (2) a summit of public health law experts that coincides with the 2007 American Public Health Association (APHA) conference; and (3) a consensus document, based on the recommendations of the public health law summit participants in response to the three research papers, that outlines the practical steps needed to advance real-world collaborations in the public health law community.

Joe Jonas Girlfriends: Jessica Pott
As recently as April 2012, Jonas was seen about town (that'd be New York City) with Brazilian model Jessica Pott.
Joe Jonas? With a Brazilian model? Those are the hottest of the hot. It's like an unwritten rule. Gisele is the biggest model, like, ever, and she's Brazilian. You see where we're going with this? Jonas only dates supremely beautiful women! Can you imagine what his kids will look like? It doesn't matter who he procreates with — that kid will win the genetic jackpot.
Regardless, Jonas and Pott were snapped walking down the street together, sparking romance rumors. Nothing major ever seemed to come out of this photo opp, but still, they look great together, don't they?

Olympic Confusion
What used to be a 'once every four years' summer event that I couldn't wait for, has become a confusing mess that provides absolutely nothing to look forward to.
Once upon a time, the Olympics showcased amateur athletes, making extraordinary sacrifices to compete against other 'similarly funded' athletes.
But when you realize that these amateur olympics were being managed by rich, aristocratic, self-serving individuals, it should not surprise us that unfairness began to creep in.
For example, our amateur basketball players had to compete against professional international players. That wasn't fair, so now, what used to be an exciting competition has become an infomercial for basketball brands.
So while I may watch the opening and closing ceremonies, I hold no hope or excitement for this summer's Olympics. Unlike another 'every four year' competition--the World Cup.
No, I am not a soccer fanatic. But I truly look forward to and enjoy the World Cup. There is no doubt what you are watching with the World Cup. The best teams that participating nations choose to put on the field. Period.
And yes, the management is still in the hands of rich, bureaucratic, self-serving [some things just don't change, do they?] but so far, they have not messed with a successful formula.
Oh, wait! Where is the next World Cup going to be held?

PURCHASE LINE — The heights that students at Purchase Line High School are reaching by doing competitions through 4-H are going national.
Two brothers at Purchase Line, senior Thomas Brady and sophomore Caleb Brady, began preparing for a national 4-H forestry competition last April. All of their hard work, studying and practice paid off because they brought home the top prize in the state and the nation by winning the National 4-H Forestry Invitational with the highest team score. The Bradys earned first place for Pennsylvania, the first since the competition began in 1980.
During the boys' first month of preparation, Thomas said, "We started studying using a mixture of book and field work. We would also meet with our adviser, Debbie Biesel."
As July came around, the boys began their trip to Jacksons Mill, W.Va. During the competition, the participants were not allowed near each other except during the team section.
For Thomas, the most challenging part was "the measurements," and the easiest was "the quiz bowl where we were tested on our forestry knowledge."
In contrast, Caleb Brady said, "The written test was the hardest and tree identification was the easiest."
To be successful in the competition, the boys had to learn about the logging industry, more than 200 kinds of trees, insects and diseases that attack trees in Pennsylvania, how to make measurements and how to use maps to plot the courses of the competition.
Thomas, Caleb and their teammate, Jesse Isenberg of United High School, advanced to the national level from the Pennsylvania competition. Isenberg serves as vice president of operations for the Pennsylvania State 4-H Council.
Normally the top four individuals compete at the national level, but their younger brother Ethan, an eighth-grader, who placed fourth, was only 12 years old at the time and individuals must be 15 or older to compete at the national level.
Thomas joined 4-H when he was 8 and was first introduced to forestry by Biesel. He also competes in the 4-H wildlife competition and community service activities.
Caleb began 4-H when he was 12 years old and said, "Thomas did it and it looked fun. I wanted to know trees for hunting so I chose forestry." Along with Thomas, Caleb also participates in the 4-H wildlife competition.
According to Caleb, other people should join 4-H because "it's a good experience."
The 4-H Club that the boys attend is Marion Center Handy Helpers.
John Brady, the boys' father and industrial arts teacher, said, "I didn't expect them to do as well as they did on the national level. Most teams were older and some were even forestry students."
As Thomas explained earlier, the boys began studying in April, and Brady said of his sons' competition, "I was really surprised at the depth they went into with forestry management and practice. It took three full days of competition to cover all of the material."
The boys had their dad as a supervisor in the competition, so he got to see everything firsthand. Brady said, "Their mother and I were both very proud of them."
Thomas and Caleb put a lot of work, time, and effort into the forestry competition and both will continue to spend much of their free time in 4-H.
Anyone wanting to join 4-H can contact Biesel or find the Marion Center Handy Helpers on Facebook.

Science teacher Michael Thom's science and technology students completed a forensic science research project about a mummy of their choice. Students were allowed to work in groups and some opted to work alone.
The mummies that were presented were the Yde Girl, ᅱtzi the Ice Man, King Tutankhamun and the Ice Maiden. Groups used Prezi, Microsoft PowerPoint and Windows Movie Maker to create presentations. Students researched their particular mummy, created presentation materials and added finishing touches.
Thom wanted a "wow" factor in the presentations as well as all the criteria he assigned, including creativity, details about how and when the individual died and questions that were still unanswered about the mummy.
The Ice Maiden was a 16-year-old girl that was thought to be a flawless sacrifice; before they took her to the mountains to be sacrificed she was high off of coca leaves and was drunk from alcohol.
"I cannot believe the Ice Maiden had more than 200 braids," said Monique Deyarmin.
When the Ice Maiden was discovered, she was found in a crouched position and thought to be in prayer as she froze.
"King Tut's" gold mask consists of a thick sheet of gold inlaid with glass, semi-precious stones and faience, a kind of glazed ceramic, weighing 24 pounds.
"King Tut had so many valuables in his tomb," Samantha Junod said.
King Tut was a ruler in the 18th dynasty, also known as the New Kingdom era. He was about 5 feet 11 inches tall and was married to his half-sister. Health records show that he may have had scoliosis.
Otzi the Ice Man died 5,300 years ago and was found in the European Alps.
When found he had a shoe and some semi-completed arrows, and he had more than 50 tattoos that scientists do not know the significance of. Otzi is the most researched mummy and is the oldest mummy known to date.
The Yde Girl is a mummy that was found in The Netherlands in 1897. Scientists believe she was strangled and stabbed at age 16.
"The Yde Girl's hair was cut off before she was sacrificed," said Shoshone Best.
Scientists made a wax model of her using the technology of CT scanning.
"For the most part students did a good job, answered all research questions, and what I liked the most was many groups tried non-traditional media such as Prezi and Windows Movie Maker instead of just PowerPoint," Thom said.
Forensic technology available today is helping to solve crime and to get a better understanding of what happened in the past.

The supposedly confidential State Department memos ('cables' in the quaint, antiquated parlance of diplomats) oozing out in dribs and drabs this week prompts many questions, but for the IT professional none is more acute than "how could something like this even happen?" This marks the third time in the last six months that the Web's premier whistleblower outlet has release dsensitive government reports. Admittedly, most of these aren't highly classified (and none are "top secret), nor even all that surprising, but the fact that a Private First Class can surf an isolated DoD network designed for the secure transmission of classified information (The SIPRNet or Secret IP Router Network) trolling for juicy tidbits, much less walk off with gigabytes of data is shocking given the security technology available to the government, or any decent-sized enterprise for that matter.For those not familiar with the gory details (two good accounts are here and here ) the PFC in question, Bradley Manning, had the proper security clearance for accessing SIPRNet and, in voyeuristic fashion, set about searching for interesting nuggets. He hit the jackpot with a video showing an Apache helicopter mowing down a bunch of presumed Iraqi insurgents, two of whom turned out to be journalists along with two children. This led him on a mission of vacuuming up pretty much everything he could lay his hands on. While SIPRNet isn't connected to the public Internet, the PCs on it had perfectly functional CD drives and USB ports. In an infamous quote, Manning says "I would come in with music on a CD-RW labeled with something like 'Lady Gaga,' erase the music then write a compressed split file." He adds, ""If you had unprecedented access to classified networks 14 hours a day 7 days a week for 8+ months, what would you do?" Manning asked. Apparently copy everything you can get your hands on.
Back to IT's culpability. The obvious low-tech solution to this problem is removing the CD drives and gluing the USB ports on every PC connected to SIPRNet (with the possible exception of a few highly controlled machines used by administrators), not allowing connecting with personal laptops and insuring no wireless LANs bridge to the network. Yet even these simple measures might not be foolproof -- a stray machine with Bluetooth or a USB port hidden on a back panel could cause holes. Here's where IT security managers need to apply a little technology like DLP software. The government is very good at classifying information (one of the foundations of an effective DLP implementation), but apparently not at building controls around the classifications. Having automated controls over how State Department memos labeled "SECRET NOFORN", meaning they're never meant to be shown to non-US citizens, are treated -- who can view, forward or modify them -- seems like a no brainer. Actually, most decent DLP systems can perform content analysis to lock down material that somehow evaded proper formal classification.
I suspect that the government's painful lesson will be a powerful wake up call for IT managers to examine their own content security and implement procedures and technology to prevent their own Web-enabled embarrassment. Unfortunately, it may be too late for some since Wikileak founder Julian Assange teases that he already has the goods on a large U.S. financial company.

Emmanuel Adebayor struck seven minutes from time to hand Tottenham a 2-1 win at Stoke and keep their hopes of Champions League football alive.
Steven Nzonzi had given the Potters a third minute lead before Clint Dempsey scored the equaliser and set up the winning goal to take Spurs above Arsenal into fourth place ahead of the Gunners' game in hand against Wigan on Tuesday night.
Charlie Adam was sent off for two poor tackles on Jan Vertonghen just after half-time but just as it looked as though Spurs would fail to make the extra man tell, Adebayor converted from close range to take their top four hopes into the final day of the season.
Spurs' celebrations here at the Britannia Stadium after the final whistle were in stark contrast to their terrible opening.
In the third minute, Adam delivered an inswinging free-kick from Stoke's right flank and Nzonzi did not even have to produce any significant movement to fins himself free to head the ball past Hugo Lloris.
The Spurs goalkeeper should have done better having got a full hand to Nzonzi's effort only to push it onto the post and into his net but the lack of cover he was afforded by his defence was alarming.
It was the 1,000 goal of this Premier League season but of greater significance to Tottenham was the damage it represented to their hopes of securing a return to Europe's premier competition next season.
Gareth Bale responded for with a long range effort Asmir Begovic tipped over before the Welshman lifted Clint Dempsey's square pass a long way over the crossbar from the edge of the box.
Spurs were rousing themselves but their 20 minute equaliser still came as something of a surprise. Scott Parker played a raking pass in search of Aaron Lennon's run inside Stoke left-back Marc Wilson.
Begovic came to meet the ball but Wilson got there first, clearing the ball straight to Dempsey who managed to steer a left-foot shot into the unguarded net from 35 yards.
Back came Stoke, flying tackles and all, but Spurs were beginning to exert a measure of control. Michael Dawson forced a fine save from Begovic after he met Bale's free-kick. Spurs had a better chance to take a lead into the interval when Bale burst into the box, cut inside on his left foot and drove the ball goalwards. Begovic stood firm.
Any impetus Stoke looked to regain on the day they celebrated their 150 anniversary was lost when Adam was dismissed two minutes into the second half.
Having been booked just before half time for a late tackle on Vertonghen, Adam again slid in on the Belgian defender leaving referee Kevin Friend with little alternative but to dismiss the former Liverpool midfielder.
Adam left the pitch to jeers from the away fans, who had berated him throughout, mindful that this was the first time he had faced Tottenham since Bale branded him a "coward" last summer.
Adam was guilty of a bad challenge on Bale while at Blackpool in May 2011 which caused the 23-year-old to sustain ankle ligament damage. And last year during pre-season, Bale was injured in another incident involving Adam, who was then at Liverpool.
This time he left his mark on Vertonghen and Spurs were handed a presentable chance to keep their top four hopes on track with 43 minutes to find a second goal with a one-man advantage.
Dempsey failed to convert Bale's driven corner but in truth Spurs probed without much purpose until Mousa Dembele and Jermain Defoe were introduced.
Dembele sent Bale charging into the box and after working the ball onto his right foot, he failed to convert an excellent opportunity from 12 yards out.
With manager Andre Villas-Boas stalking the touchline nervously, Spurs finally conjured the goal they needed. Bale's pass was too fierce for Dembele, but the ball broke to Dempsey in the box, who steadied himself and centred a smart cross for Adebayor to convert only his fifth League goal of the season.
Tottenham still need Arsenal to drop points but coming from behind has been a consistent element of their season. They have now collected 23 points from losing positions and, on this evidence, are determined to take it to the wire.

The Olive is the latest effort by restauranteur Greg Morris, operators of the well-received Oaks Gourmet as well as the effortlessly popular Oakfire Pizzerias. The restaurant, open since early June, located at Grafton, is offering traditional Italian fare, with a Cal twist, to replace the trenzoid steaky fare previously dished out by the "other" outlet of BOA. Instead, diners can now "eat in the chill balance of bamboo, marble, glass, and leather—an orchestra of rock star eats and throngs of chic."
First course:
Various salumi & formaggi ($18). Subtract the crusty fennel salted flatbread and this would be one heck of a salumi plate down to the fig jam and spiced nuts. If it's good enough for Lisa Cohen, it's probably god enough for the rest of us. The staff is more than happy to denote the variety of all cheese and meats served.
Roasted beet & burrata salad. $15
It's seemingly difficult to discombobulate a roasted beet & burrata salad, but often the burrata is manipulated and overdressed. Here, gold and red beets were both roasted til tendered and plated to only hug, but not molest, the burrata, an ingredient , regardless of intended cuisine. Sprinkled pistachios gave a great counter crunch to the milky burrata, and the sherry reduction gave the cheese depth.
Pancetta wrapped prawns.
Some restaurants get overzealous with their prawn descriptions. The Olive clearly forgot an adjective in front of theirs. While these prawns may not have been giants, they were definitely healthy. The judiciously applied pancetta wasn't overwhelmingly salty, and served to merely add a trendy swiney flavor. Unfortunately, the prawn itself was a bit overcooked, and the polenta tad under seasoned.
Chocolate torte, panna cotta & blueberry bread pudding.
These were served all on the same plate. Service staff didn't advise whether or not this presentation was the norm, but it worked. Start with the panna cotta, ramp up to the powerfully sweet torte, finish off by letting the blueberry bread pudding (texture close to a muffin) soak up the chocolaty exuberance.
Here at The Olive, the appetizers seemed to be the strong suit, with the popular lobster mac faltering that particular evening. This slant towards small(er) plates will probably suit the WeHo crowd just fine. If there can be a WeHo "neighborhood" spot on the screaming section of Sunset swatched in wall ads, The Olive will be it. On weekdays, the public (read: reasonably priced) parking structure is literally right across the street, and there is an excellent happy hour to liven up the sidewalk seating from 5pm to 7pm. On weekends, brunch is available at the hotel restaurant, and the choice seats would be on the patio overlooking the pool & the hill.

Granted the Chiefs still have five games left this season and Kansas City will make the playoffs. But they won't last long in the post-season elimination rounds, if their head coach doesn't start making better strategic decisions. In my book, Reid, not the Chiefs injury plagued defense and slow footed secondary, was the biggest culprit in Kansas City losing their second straight AFC West game.
With the bottom end of the fourth quarter clock rolling down to extinction and the Chiefs down 34-31 to the Chargers, they mounted an impressive offensive drive that pushed their potential game winning drive to the five yard line.
So with the Chargers conceding a potential score and refusing to stop the clock at that point in the game, Reid did the unthinkable calling a timeout with just over ninety seconds left to play.
It was one of the worst move he's made since becoming the Chiefs head coach. By doing so it brings to light those that criticized his game management skills with the Philadelphia Eagles. The knock in Philly was that could only take you so far in a game when the stakes get higher.
Had Reid left the clock rolling he could have forced the Chargers to use a time out so when they got the ball back, they'd have had fewer timeouts and less time to construct their game winning drive. He even said after the game, the last thing he wanted yo do in the waining minutes of the game was put the ball back in the hands of Rivers. So what did he do? He gave Rivers the time to win the game for San Diego.
With a better strategic move, Reid could have run off another twenty seconds or more. After all at that point in the game, Reid had already played the entire second half without his top pass rushers, Tamba Hali and Justin Houston, wo were lost to potentially devastating injuries. So how does he justify stopping the clock when Rivers had already posted 24 points on his defense in the second half?
Granted the strategy session worked for Reid because on the next play after the timeout, Alex Smith, who was brilliant on the day, launched a missile in the end zone that was caught by Dwayne Bowe. That quick strike that took a precious five seconds off the clock and it gave the Chiefs a 38-34 lead with enough time for Rivers to lead what everyone knew he'd do, win the game. Sill at worst his time ties the game with a few precious seconds left on the game.
Regardless after the score, Rivers made mulch of the Chiefs defense and threw the game winning touchdown to a man that hadn't caught one since 2010.
When Chargers receiver, Seyi Ajirotutu hauled in Rivers 26-yard touchdown pass, Reid's Chiefs fell to 9-2 and lost all control of their playoff destiny and quest for home field advantage.
In that critical moment despite the fact his own offense was destroying the Chargers defense, Reid refused to seize the moment in a game he had to know - the last offense standing with time on the clock would score.
In my book, there's NO excuse for calling a time out at that point in the game when the Chargers were conceding the clock and inevitable score - field goal or otherwise.
Now the Chiefs, who must wait on the medical reports that could cripple their defense even further for the remainder of the season, have removed all further margins for error. Had they won this game Kansa City still would have had some error room in the event neither linebacker can play next weekend against Denver.
For all practical purposes, Reid's colossal mistake pushed the Chiefs into an absolute must game win next Sunday against the Broncos. They have to be salivating at the Chiefs suddenly leaky and deflated defense, that to a man, they probably feel they can post sixty points on them. If the Chiefs lose that game, they're sunk in the AFC West.
As of this writing, the Broncos were set to take the field against the New England Patriots, Reid had better hope and pray to the NFL gods throughout the evening that Tom Brady can out duel Peyton Manning.
Still with back-to-back losses by the Chiefs, we learned a few things about this football team. One the offense can play in a shoot out game and proved, if they don't shoot themselves in the foot, they could deliver the counter punches.
Secondly we found out the Chiefs front seven defensively have zero depth. Lastly, and the one most critical, we learned the Marcus Cooper experiment may have come to a sad conclusion.
For the second straight week, he's been torched by his inability to recognize simple crossing pattern. Against the Broncos last week and the Chargers on Sunday, he was assigned to guard against those very plays on the field of battle. His inability to do just that, tells me in two games, he's fallen from potential rookie of the year candidate to just another seventh round draft pick playing for his second NFL team.
But worse than Cooper, was the play of veteran cornerback, Sean Smith. He was beaten badly on Rivers final touchdown pass. Like Cooper, he's been torched the last several weeks but none more devastating as the one he gave up against San Diego. Initially I was a big fan of the Chiefs signing of Smith in the off-season but he's nowhere close to the cornerback he was with the Miami Dolphins. In fact, he may be the most unphysical corner the Chiefs line up on the field.
Still as upset as I am with the loss, I'm convinced KC's offense isn't the problem. If Smith is given time to throw the ball, he'll torch opposing defenses. He shut up a lot of his critics against the Chargers.
And that was aided by the fact Guard, Geoff Schwartz, and Right Tackle Donald Stephenson, both started Sunday on Reid's revamped offensive line. With Jon Asamoah, a somewhat dinged but healthy enough scratch and Eric Fisher out with a bad shoulder, Schwartz was solid on the interior of the Chiefs line and Stephenson was a beast at right tackle. That infusion was the reason KC's offense had its best output of the season.
Thus if Reid continues to allow a healthy Asamoah to start next weekend over Schwartz, he won't have learned a thing from this loss. In fact, after the loss, he said it was his personal goal to learn from the mistakes the team made. Time will tell if he'll back those words up by correcting his mistakes.
Granted as mad as I might be at the moment at the NFL's third highest paid Head Coach, it's hard too slap Reid with any sense of malice. But over the last two games, he's made coaching blunders that have extended KC's losing streak to a pair of games.
Last week against Denver, failing to give the ball to Running Back, Jamaal Charles on third and potentially fourth and goal situations from the one-yard line, were simply inexcusable. Playing safe on the road and settling for a chip shot field goal, sends the wrong message to his players. Yes I want them to be patient and tactical but sometimes you just have to play man on man football and trust that your men can make the plays.
Further looking back at the end of the first half against Denver, he didn't attempt a long field goal that could have given KC some halftime momentum. Instead, once again he played it safe.
What's concerning to me is Reid's sometimes passive approach. I know he has a plan, a style and one that has garnered much success in the NFL but as the games get bigger and bigger the rest of the season, his decisions on the sidelines are costing him opportunities to win football games.
To his credit, Reid's done a terrific job so far in Kansas City. For the most part, he's carried his players to the highs and lows of their now 9-2 start. But unless he wants them to end the season 9-7, Reid better amp up his game. The house money chips the Chiefs had been playing with though ten games have all but been cashed in.
Thus if he doesn't start doubling down a bit more, making better decisions based on the way his team is playing at the time he's making them on both sides of the ball, the season of promise the Chiefs nation had been yearning for the last decade, will become a familiar ring to the faithful.
Sadly it's one they've trumpeted before many times that will lead to severe and bitter disappointment that will linger like a bad smell in the basement this entire off-season.
Does this game fall on the coaching style of Andy Reid?

Kendall-Jackson Grand Reserve Chardonnay 2009
Chardonnay from Central Coast, California
Winemaker's Notes
Delectable tropical fruit intertwines with grapefruit, lemon and candied lime peel. Elegantly layered, this wine exhibits a creamy, lush texture with vanilla accents and a hint of cinnamon spice to round out the long, lingering finish. The grapes are from 51% Santa Barbara County and 49% Monterey County.
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "Readers looking for more caramelized tropical fruit and honeysuckle characteristics as well as more opulence and flesh should check out the 2009 Grand Reserve Chardonnay (a blend of equal parts Santa Barbara and Monterey fruit). This 100% Chardonnay was aged 9 months in primarily French oak, and was put through 100% barrel and malolactic fermentation with lots of lees stirring. Kendall-Jackson's Chardonnay program has always been a reference point for how to get the most out of this grape and this cuvee highlights the buttery melon, tropical fruit and peach-like characteristics of Chardonnay. It also possesses medium to full body, well-integrated wood and a long, heady, rich finish. "
Kendall-Jackson Winery
Back in 1974, Jess Jackson saw in the fine vineyards of California's cool coastal regions fruit with a variety of outstanding flavors. What if there was a way to produce from this abundance, a single outstanding "cuvée" that offered both quality and value? The result, first released in 1983, was Vintner's Reserve Chardonnay, a rich, round and flavorful wine, made with hand-crafted methods. That same year, Grand Reserve was introduced, a line of ultra-premium wines that represented the full potential of California's finest vineyards and winemaking. Today, over 5,000 acres of vineyard in California's coastal regions are farmed by Kendall-Jackson. Four separate wineries house what is possibly the single largest barrel-fermentation project in the world. But perhaps most important, is that Kendall-Jackson remains a family-owned winery.

About Central CoastView a map of Central Coast wineries
The largest of California's wine growing regions, the Central Coast produces the majority of California's wine. The district sprawls out, covering most of the vineyard land between San Francisco and Santa Barbara. Smaller sub-AVAs of the Central Coast include Monterey Bay, Paso Robles, Santa Ynez Valley, Santa Maria Valley, Santa Cruz Mountains and many others.
Notable FactsGrape varieties range from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay to Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel. Some Central Coast wine is generic, bulk wine that contributes to the high production numbers of the area. But many winemakers and wineries, particular in some of the smaller AVAs, are small production artisans, creating unique and high-quality wine. The great thing about the Central Coast is its diversity - you're able to find a number of grape varieties and styles at a number of different price points.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country unto itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

An administrative assistant asked in a discussion forum about how to respond when asked by your manager to set goals for yourself within your company; what do you say when you don't want to move up in the ranks? I responded to that admin professional, but I want to share my response here for you to read too in case you find it beneficial if you have the same question.
I said: "When your manager or executive is asking you for goals, he or she is not necessarily talking about your personal career goals (though that's a possibility). Managers are often talking about performance goals or ones that affect the workplace. For instance, what goals can you set to help your manager or executive meet his/her goals? What goals can you set that will help meet company goals? Set goals that benefit the company and your manager or executive, not necessarily your personal career goals.
Be clear about whether your employer is asking you for your personal career goals or performance or workplace goals (or perhaps he/she is interested in both). I find sometimes people mix those up.
If it's personal career goals, I'd first wonder the "why" of the question. Am I being asked because I'm working in a company culture where it's expected everyone at every level (including admins) should be planning to grow and advance in roles within the company? Or am I being asked out of curiosity? Is someone trying to determine how I feel about my administrative career?
There are always ways to expand the role and responsibilities of a current level administrative position without rising in the ranks. Talk about ways you want to expand and grow in your current role to aid your executive's and company's goals. Emphasize that train of thought and not that you do not want to move up in the ranks"
In response to another person's reply with goal suggestions, I also added some input about being specific with your goals. I mentioned that a good goal is often measurable. So if you set a goal like, "to learn as much as I can about the organization," you're thinking too generally. How will you measure your goals or know if you met them? For instance, how will you know if you met the goal of "to learn as much as I can about the organization"?
It's better to be specific most of the time. You can start with general ideas like that but dig deeper to find the specific goals. For instance, someone suggested a goal could be "to identify areas in which I can add value to the organization." That's general, again. Dig deeper into the idea of "to identify areas in which I can add value to the organization." That's still a goal in the research stage. You want to find a specific "area" and then you can start setting a related goal for it. Dig deeper to find and set the goals.
Someone mentioned the possibility of using those "general" goals to fall back on "when put on the spot" by a manager asking for goals. So that brings me to this point: I receive many e-mails from administrative professionals "put on the spot" by their own doing; this is because they wait for a manager or other boss to ask them to set goals, or they start thinking about goal setting the day before the goals are due to someone requesting them (such as for usage in a performance review).
It's at that time I get the e-mail with a panic tone from that administrative professional: "My goals are due tomorrow. Help!"
I can't emphasize enough how important it is to be thinking of goals year-round so you're never "put on the spot." Anticipate that you will be asked at some point in the year to set goals.
And if you're not asked, you might want to be proactive and take the approach (especially during performance reviews) of discussing and setting some goals with your manager's or executive's awareness. It's a good career move. But goals also can keep you inspired and focused on the job and in your career. Goals can set you apart too as an "advanced" level administrative professional.
However, if by chance your manager does put you on the spot and says, "Let's talk goals," don't be put on the spot. Get your manager's input but tell him or her you'll have to put thought into the matter and get back to them at x date. Good goal setting is not done instantly.
I offer a goal-setting publication specifically to help administrative assistants and executive assistants set goals. Many of my clients have told me it has helped them to brainstorm goals and think about goal setting from a different perspective. This publication in which you can learn about setting goals for administrative assistants and executive assistants is sold at this URL:
Click here for the details: Get Goal Setting.
It is called The Basic Guide to Goal Setting for Administrative Professionals and it is intended to help you with personal or professional goal setting as an administrative assistant or executive assistant.

Chipmunks or moles?
I noticed it last summer - my lawn was squishy, uneven, and there were holes all over the place. This year I'm seeing chipmunks EVERYWHERE (on my lawn, on my walkways, running across my deck), and even saw one run into a hole near a retaining wall in my backyard. But my father-in-law swears the holes/squishyness is from moles. How can I tell? I'm almost sure it's the chippies but I wanted to be sure.
Second, how can I get rid of these little $%#@%&s? I don't really care about being humane, I just want my yard back.
If the holes and tunnels are underground, then it's likely from moles... As far as I know, chipmunks don't dig or burrow tunnels. At most, they dig up bulbs or bury nuts and stuff.
Depending on where you are, it could be prairie dogs as well, and they kinda look like chipmunks, but either way it sounds like you have a burrowing rodent problem.
There's different ways to get rid of them, from "humane" to "lethal"... The funniest (and maybe most humane) one I saw is a "prairie dog" vacuum, where they show up with a huge truck mounted vacuum, sund the rodent out of the tunnels and then drive them out to the country to be released.

Resolution Adopted by the CCAR
Adopted by the Board of
June, 2001
In China, minority groups have historically been either assimilated or annihilated as a means for unifying China - a diverse country currently with over 90 minority groups. Today, the Han majority has taken this concept to heart. Added to this are the efforts at suppression by the Communist Party, buffeted by the economic change that created social and political tensions, which people use to organize their identity outside the control of the government.
Religious minorities particularly have been targeted. Religious and ethnic harassment and persecution have increased in the past two years. The U.S. State Department and human rights groups like Amnesty International have issued reports of torture, wrongful imprisonment, and other inhumane treatment of minorities. The People's Republic of China has enacted criminal legislation that the China Daily, the government's official newspaper, hails as a 'powerful new weapon to smash evil cultist organizations, especially the Falun Gong.'
This brutal crackdown by the Chinese government on ethnic and religious minorities, including Falun Gong members, Tibetan Buddhists, Uighur Muslims, and underground Protestant and Catholic churches is in direct violation of the fundamental freedoms of religion, speech and assembly as outlined in the U.N. Declaration on Human Rights. China's already shrill campaign to discredit the Falun Gong spiritual group has reached new intensity, with the strongest accusations yet that the group is colluding with Western forces seeking to vilify and destroy the nation. Despite widespread arrests and harassment of members, with thousands shipped to "re-education through labor" camps, large numbers have continued practicing Falun Gong.
Constantly informed by our history of oppression, we strive to always remember our commitment to "love the stranger as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt. (Leviticus 19:34)" According to our Torah, we must be the champions of the stranger, in remembrance of our own oppression. While we as North American Jews are not faced with the oppression of being a stranger, we must continue, as we promise in our Passover seder, to fight for the rights of others who are.
A central lesson of our history is the evil that results when people of good conscience stand by while others are persecuted because of their religious beliefs and practices. Throughout its history, the CCAR has spoken with vigor and clarity against religious persecution and for religious freedom in the United States and everywhere else in the world.
The Chinese legal system does not protect human rights from state interference, nor does it provide effective remedies for those who claim that their rights have been violated. Some have argued that only increased engagement can, in the long run, open China to the political and legal change that is indispensable to the expansion of fundamental freedoms, including religious freedom. Others respond that increased engagement and normalization must be dependant on improvements in China's human rights record, particularly religious freedom.
The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom has called for a firmer American government response to religious persecution in China, and to document, respond to, and deter persecution.
There is also a need for U.S. companies to protect their workers' rights of free association and assembly by discouraging the presence of the military, and compulsory political indoctrination in the workplace. Bringing China into the world market - conditional upon the adherence to several human rights measures - will enhance transparency and advance human rights.
THEREFORE, the Central Conference of American Rabbis resolves to:
1) Call upon the Government of the People's Republic of China to:
2) Call upon the People's Republic of China to begin with those steps recommended by the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom:
3) Urge that Congress fund rule-of-law programs, such as training and exchanges of lawyers and judges, seminars in how to deal with religious workplace challenges and to apply international legal and labor norms.
4) Require that admission of China to the World Trade Organization (WTO) be made be made conditional on taking significant steps towards the elimination on religious persecution in China.
5) Urge that U.S. companies be required to develop a code of conduct for the protection of their workers' rights of freedom of expression, assembly, association, and religious practice.
6) Support coalitions that speak out for, and keep the public spotlight on, the abuses against the Falun Gong practitioners, Uighur Muslims, and Tibetan Buddhists, underground Christian churches, and other religious and ethnic minorities in China.
7) Encourage rabbis to work in interfaith coalitions to raise awareness of the plight of religious liberties in China.

Probate Process Timeline
What to expect while going through Probate
Probate Process Timeline
If you find yourself asking, "How long does the probate process take?", sit down and buckle up because unfortunately, the process is a very unpredictable legal procedure. Thus, the timeline for a particular estate to go through the probate process is difficult to ascertain. The timeline depends on several factors. For example, the length of the probate process depends on how large the decedent's estate is, how complicated the estate is, whether the decedent left his papers, debts and obligations in order, how many proposed heirs there are, and if the will is contested or uncontested. Other factors may include tax complications, non-probate lawsuits, and probate procedural requirements. Remember that Procedural requirements regarding probate vary by state. Additionally, the majority of courts have local court rules. It is a good idea, if you are anticipating being involved in or you are already involved in a Probate matter to research Probate law and various probate attorneys. Researching probate will facilitate an understanding of various state requirements, local court rules, and key probate terms. In turn, this will help you understand what is involved for the probate process. Another benefit of researching probate law and contacting a probate attorney regarding the process details of probate is that you will be able to determine a timeline tailored to the specific circumstances of your probate matter.
Understanding the Inheritance Process
To understand why the probate process can take so long to complete, one should understand the fundamentals of the probate timeline. The probate process begins after someone dies. The person who died (the decedent) may have died testate (with a will) or intestate (without a will). Despite the existence of a will or not, the decedent's assets, including his or her personal property and real property, must be transferred to someone else. If the person dies with a valid will, all assets (referred to as the estate) will be transferred to the person or persons designated in the will. If the person dies without a will or the probate court determines the will to be invalid, the estate will be transferred according to state law. State laws vary regarding estate distribution.
Before a decedent's estate can be distributed, whether according to a will or according to state law, all of the decedent's assets must be allocated, accounted for, and inventoried. Additionally, all debts, fees, taxes, and other monetary obligations must be settled. This can add several months in itself to the inheritance timeline depending on the size of the estate and the number of varying assets. Furthermore, any and all probate related disputes and non-probate lawsuits must be completed before the inheritance process can proceed.
Easing the Strain of the Probate Process
Considering all of the above, the probate timeline often lasts an entire year for even simple estates. Inheritance timeline estimates need to take into consideration contested wills, other potential lawsuits, and other time-consuming complications. Often times, probate can take several months to several years. In rare and extremely complicated cases, probate can even take decades to distribute inheritance assets. Meanwhile, heirs waiting to receive their inheritance can be financially depleted while waiting even though the inheritance rightfully belongs to them. An inheritance advance from Inheritance Funding Company can be a perfect solution to this problem. Cash advances can support individuals going through the process of probate so while waiting for their inheritance to distribute, they are not in financial turmoil.
Check out our Probate Timeline chart below. The time estimates will not apply in every situation since specifics of the probate process differ with every estate. However, our probate timeline can act as a reference tool for approximating how long your probate process may take and how long it may be until you can access your inheritance. If you are currently involved in Probate, by reviewing the timeline below, you may be able to identify which stage of the probate process you are in. Whether you are currently involved in probate or you anticipate being involved, this probate process timeline can give you an idea of just how much money you may need in order to withstand the entire probate and how much money you would like to receive from IFC from an inheritance advance in less than a week.

Brayan Pena knew the collision was coming. All that mattered was keeping grasp of the ball.
"It doesn't matter where your body is going to go, just hold onto the baseball," he said.
Pena, Detroit's catcher, held onto Prince Fielder's relay throw and absorbed a collision with Justin Smoak at home plate for the final out, and the Tigers outlasted the Seattle Mariners 2-1 in 14 innings Wednesday night.
Smoak singled with one out off Joaquin Benoit, and with two outs Dustin Ackley doubled into the right-field corner. Third base coach Jeff Datz didn't hesitate in waving Smoak around with the potential tying run.
Torii Hunter started the relay from the outfield, and Fielder's throw was up the third base line a bit. Pena, however, caught it in plenty of time and held onto the ball as Smoak crashed into him, sending a mask and helmet flying.
Lying face down in the dirt, Pena held up the ball in his bare hand to show plate umpire Bob Davidson and shook his fist in triumph before teammates helped him up.
"I got dizzy," Pena said. "I think he hit me in the chin as he was running toward me. I wanted (the umpire) to see it because I don't know his view."
The collision at the plate concluded a wild night when both starting pitchers, Felix Hernandez and Max Scherzer, were at the top of their games and the teams combined for a whopping 40 strikeouts.
Pena came through twice in the 14th inning for the Tigers. It was his bases-loaded grounder that allowed Don Kelly to score the go-ahead run in the top of the inning and it was his defensive gem that finally sent everyone home after 4 hours, 27 minutes.
"Nobody deserved to lose in a game like this," Pena said.
RED SOX 6, INDIANS 3: Converted closer Alfredo Aceves coasted through five innings, Mike Napoli and Daniel Nava drove in two runs apiece and Boston scored its fifth straight win. Aceves (1-0), who began the season in Boston's bullpen, took a shutout into the sixth before giving up three runs. Napoli had an RBI single in the first when the Red Sox scored three runs off Masterson (3-1), who has already beaten two Cy Young Award winners this season and came in without allowing a run in 19 straight innings.
RAYS 6, ORIOLES 2: Kelly Johnson and Shelley Duncan homered, James Loney had three RBIs and Tampa Bay beat Baltimore to snap a four-game skid. Matt Moore (3-0) gave up two runs and five hits in 6 2-3 innings. Although his streak of scoreless starts ended at two, the left-hander has accounted for three of the Rays' five wins this season. After going 1-for-34 with runners in scoring position in their previous five games, the Rays went 4-for-11 Wednesday.
ATHLETICS 7, ASTROS 5: Bartolo Colon pitched six crisp innings, Josh Reddick doubled in two runs during a six-run first and Oakland defeated Houston to complete another three-game sweep. The Athletics swept a three-game series at Houston during the first week of the season. Seth Smith had three hits for the A's, who improved to an AL-best 12-4. They sent 11 batters to the plate and chased Bud Norris (2-2) in the first inning, then won behind Colon (2-0) and three relievers.
WHITE SOX 7, BLUE JAYS 0: Tyler Flowers hit a three-run homer and Jose Quintana pitched 6 2-3 sharp innings to lead Chicago over Toronto. Alex Rios also homered against his former team to back Quintana (1-0), who held the Blue Jays to five hits with two walks while striking out seven in his third start of the season. Toronto's J.A. Happ (2-1) allowed six hits, including two homers, and five runs in 5 2-3 innings.
YANKEES 4, DIAMONDBACKS 3: Pinch-hitter Travis Hafner connected for a tiebreaking homer with two outs in the eighth inning to lead CC Sabathia and the Yankees past Arizona. Brett Gardner had a tying, two-run single in the seventh for New York. Sabathia (3-1) gave up a two-run homer to Paul Goldschmidt in the first, then settled down for his third straight win after struggling on opening day.
ROYALS 1, BRAVES 0: Wade Davis pitched seven sharp innings, Jeff Francoeur had an RBI single and Kansas City stopped Atlanta's 10-game winning streak. The Braves were seeking their first 13-1 start since 1994. But the Atlanta hitters — who homered five times off the Royals on Tuesday — were shut down. Davis (2-0) gave up five hits, didn't walk anyone and struck out seven.
PADRES 7, DODGERS 2: Clayton Kershaw gave up his first three home runs of the season in a span of three innings and San Diego finished a three-game sweep of Los Angeles. Everth Cabrera, Chris Denorfia and Kyle Blanks all connected off Kershaw (2-2), who entered with a 1.16 ERA in three starts. But the 2011 NL Cy Young winner left this one trailing 5-1 after throwing 109 pitches in 5 1-3 innings.
NATIONALS 6, MARLINS 1: Ross Detwiler departed with a lead for the third start in a row and this time the bullpen held on as Bryce Harper and Washington beat Miami. Harper hiked his average to .364 with four hits and improved to 9-for-20 against Ricky Nolasco (0-2). Harper hit two solo homers off Nolasco on opening day. Detwiler (1-0) allowed one run in seven innings, which increased his ERA to 0.90. He left his first two starts with the Nationals ahead 5-1 and 4-1, but both times received no decision.
BREWERS 4, GIANTS 3: Pinch-hitter Blake Lalli lifted a long single in the bottom of the ninth inning that sent Milwaukee over San Francisco. Milwaukee extended its longest winning streak this year to three. Brewers starter Kyle Lohse did not allow a hit through the first five innings as Milwaukee built a 3-0 lead. Jim Henderson (2-0) pitched the ninth.
REDS 1-11, PHILLIES 0-2: Jay Bruce hit a pair of bases-loaded singles that sent Cincinnati to a pair of wins over Philadelphia. First, the Reds finished their game suspended overnight by rain. Several hundred fans were in the stands to see Phillippe Aumont (1-2) pick the game up in the bottom of the ninth and give up Bruce's bases-loaded single only four batters later. Aroldis Chapman (2-0) got the win without even warming up on Wednesday — he'd retired the last three batters before the rain came the previous night. Punxsutawney native Devin Mesoraco went 2-for-4 with a double in the second game.

The NSDSL employs over 70 caterers island-wide. Hot meals are delivered to schools within a 4-hour time frame from completion of preparation at the caterer to consumption by the students.
Barbequed Chicken. Sounds good? Try it with Ochro and Rice with Pumpkin and Carrots and a Slice of Plantain on the side. Now you are talking! How about an Asian Wrap with Teriyaki Chicken. Yummy! Or even a Paratha Roti with Curried Channa & Potatoes, Curried Bodi and Mango Amchar. Want more? Corn Soup with Carrots, Ground Provision and Corn Meal Dumplings. Someone once said, "school days are happy, happy days". How could it not be when children are getting these scrumptious dishes every day? What am I talking about? These are just samples of the meals provided to students by the School Nutrition Programme on a daily basis.
So how does this all work anyway? The NSDSL has contracted independent caterers to produce and deliver these meals to the schools five days a week. Menus are planned with the objective of meeting 1/3 Recommended Daily Allowance of nutrients for lunch and 1/4
Recommended Daily Allowance of nutrients for breakfast.
Our meals are the best in town. We are not only talking taste, that's a given. Safety is guaranteed. Each of our contracted facilities must adhere to stringent sanitation guidelines in their daily operations. Our kitchens are inspected and approved annually by the Public Health Department, but that is just the beginning. NSDSL has strict

Vans, totes, equipment and food contact surfaces are cleaned and sanitized no less than twice daily and HACCP guidelines for food production are adopted. "Clean as you go" is our catch phrase.
Random in-house sampling is done on products from various food suppliers. Every aspect of food production - from purchasing to delivery – is monitored by NSDSL officials. Nothing is left to chance.
NSDSL is owned by the Ministry of Education. It is mandated to ensure that the nation's children are served nutritionally-balanced, delicious meals. It has been proven that a well-fed child is a well read child. Children are better able to concentrate and thereby able to perform better in their studies.

Originally posted on Raise the Jolly Roger! | Last updated 9/22/13
The Pirates came back on Saturday for a much needed feel good victory over the Reds, moving them back in to second place by themselves and evening the series. After Friday's brutal finish, it was nice to see another huge and fired up crowd be able to celebrate and go home happy. The night belonged to A.J. Burnett. Sadly, it's possible that this could have been his final start at PNC Park – let's hope that's not the case, but if it was, he went out in style. After allowing two early runs, which really started to bring up the "here we go again" feeling across the ballpark, Burnett was terrific. He was clearly energized once the Pirates tied the game, and found an electric curveball that seemingly generated whiffs at will. He used it to strike out twelve, his high mark as a Pirate, and he cruised through seven. When he got the final strikeout to finish the seventh, he was clearly extremely pumped, and I have never heard PNC Park louder after a play that didn't end the game. Just awesome stuff. On Friday, defense was the X-factor that won the game for the Reds and lost it for the Bucs. Cincinnati made several excellent plays while Jordy Mercer's error set up the game tying rally. Saturday was a different story. Joey Votto's error on an extremely routine grounder in the second gave the Bucs a two out baserunner, and Russell Martin turned that in to two runs with a blast to tie the game. That was huge after the deflating early deficit. Later, Homer Bailey walked Andrew McCutchen and threw wildly to first on a pickoff attempt. Cutch sprinted to third, setting up a prime RBI chance late in a tie game. Justin Morneau walked, Marlon Byrd delivered a long sac fly (that also moved Morneau to second – great running), and Pedro Alvarez came up big against a LOOGY (our old buddy Zach Duke!) with a beautiful opposite field line drive RBI single. So the Pirates did an excellent job coming through at the plate, but poor defense by the Reds set up their chances. The bullpen had no issues, unlike Friday. I'm not sure why Bryan Morris and Justin Wilson pitched in the eighth instead of Tony Watson, but they combined to get the job done (mostly Wilson, who got a big DP in his first outing in a while). That set up Jason Grilli's first save chance in two months, and he delivered as the crowd welcomed him back with a big roar. He allowed a soft leadoff hit, but then got a DP from Jay Bruce (who homered off Grilli earlier in the year for his first blown save) and another groundout ended the game. Fantastic stuff, and I think Grilli's going to be back in that role unless he runs in to more trouble. Great win, and even though the Cardinals won to keep the Bucs two back, things feel a lot better now. To host the wild card game, the Pirates need to split the remaining four with Cinci and take 2 of 3 against the Cubs. That's doable. Catching the Cardinals is still unlikely but also still possible. And the playoff magic number is down to three. Pirates 4, Reds 2 / Box / 2013 Record: 89-66 / Next: Sunday, vs. Reds, 1:35 Source: FanGraphs

The very term Golden Generation should be enough to alarm those who follow English football. For a decade, a coveted and cosseted group of players failed to take England to the promised land. Perhaps fittingly, in an age of austerity, Roy Hodgson will be expected to work miracles with much less. The previous failures may yet help, given the lessening of expectations, and in a strange twist, it is Saturday's opponents, Belgium, who find their own lot rising dramatically. For them the crop is rich and perhaps alarming, given the paucity of genuine, world-class talent these shores now produce.
Eden Hazard sparked the kind of transfer scramble among the Premier League's three richest clubs that perhaps only Wayne Rooney could match, but then Hazard is only 21. Rooney, upon whom the hopes of a nation have been placed even more, given Hodgson's desire to mould his team around him and his favoured No 10 position, is 26. English football has nothing to compare to the fervour created by a 21-year-old. In the squad that faced Norway last weekend, the only 21-year-old forward was Danny Welbeck. It is hard to imagine Chelsea or Manchester City becoming quite so interested if the Manchester United forward came on to the market.
The potential rise of Belgian football – and they have not qualified for Euro 2012, or any major tournament since the 2002 World Cup – does not solely revolve around a player who could be the most expensive transfer of the summer, when he completes his £40m move to Stamford Bridge. Perhaps in contrast to what Hodgson will take to Poland and Ukraine next week, Belgium have both strength and depth.
It says something when Vincent Kompany, the rock upon whom Roberto Mancini built a title-winning team, is not even the captain of his country. That honour goes to Jan Vertonghen, the 25-year-old central defender at Ajax who is being chased by Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal. Behind them is a choice of the 20-year-old Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, who has spent a year on loan at Atletico Madrid, the Europa League winners, or Sunderland's first-choice keeper Simon Mignolet (23). Then there is Arsenal's defender Thomas Vermaelen (26), in front of them the likes of Everton's Marouaune Fellaini (24), Benfica's Axel Witsel (23) and Porto's Steven Defour (24).
Hazard is not the only Belgian to catch Sir Alex Ferguson's eye. Defour received a get well telegram from the Manchester United manager when he damaged his foot a couple of years ago and Witsel has also been watched. Then there are the likes of Fulham's Moussa Dembele (24) and Chelsea's Romelu Lukaku (19). These are players yet to reach their prime catching attention throughout Europe.
But how has such a huge crop of talent emerged all at once? More by chance than design; not for the Belgium Football Federation the kind of long overdue coaching revamp that was being heralded in this country this week. Instead, they have largely let the clubs sort it out.
Standard Liège invested heavily in their academy, where the Belgian national side have been based this week in preparation for Saturday's visit to Wembley. In total, they spent €18m (£14.4m), more than many Premier League sides, to harness young talent. It has worked: When Fellaini emerged through their younger sides and caught the eye of the Everton manager, David Moyes, they were paid £15m (pretty much the price of their academy) to let him move to England. When Witsel came to the fore as a dynamic midfielder and attracted interest from Portugal, it cost Benfica a fee of around €8m to secure his services.
At Genk, they have similarly looked to youth, to offer opportunity to those good enough, regardless of age, and some of the squad who will take to the field on Saturday have played in Belgium only briefly.
Of course, as England found to their cost, not everything that glitters is actually gold. Georges Leekens, the manager who was supposed to finish above Germany and Turkey in qualifying for Euro 2012 (obviously he did not) resigned on 13 May to take over at Club Brugge KV. A lack of balance in his squad (no full-backs and no world-class goalscorer) was seen as crucial.
His replacement, at least in the short term, is the 43-year-old Marc Wilmots, who has been handed the caretaker role, having worked as Leekens' No 2. Wilmots was capped 70 times for his country between 1990 until their last major finals in South Korea and Japan, when he captained the side. That he may be given the role on a permanent basis because he will not stretch the BFF's finances says much. Wilmots is well liked among the players and his brief flirtation with politics (he was voted into the Belgian Senate as a member of the Mouvement Reformateur) is perhaps more significant in a country that has two major languages. Tellingly, the Standard Liège website has a choice of language on its main page: French or Dutch. Of Belgium's 11 million inhabitants, around 60 per cent are Flemish (who speak Dutch) and the remainder are mainly the Walloons, who speak French (plus a small smattering of German speakers). Wilmots is a Belgian patriot, rather than a Walloon or a Flemish one. Leekens, who is Flemish, was seen as more confrontational to the French speakers, and occasionally fell out with the likes of Hazard.
Among Wilmots' tasks, should he land the role permanently, will be to bring some reality into the Belgium dressing room. Two years ago the national team's medical staff resigned because of the attitude of the players.
For the likes of Mignolet, who has shown what can be done with the correct attitude since he moved to Sunderland last summer, an opportunity has arisen for a young side that should not be missed.
"We have a really decent team, a really decent squad," he says. "The problem for us has been that we've not converted all that talent into results. We should have qualified for the Euros with all the quality we have, but we didn't. However, hopefully we can kick on and make sure we qualify for the World Cup.
"The England game is an important one for us to help prepare for that campaign. We have not managed to qualify for the big tournaments for 10 years, which is disappointing because we should really have done that with the players we have, but things have changed and for the better. We have a lot of good, young players right now and that's what football is about.
"These days you need to start playing first-team football at a younger age, and all our guys play big competitions with the clubs. England is a big game for us and we're taking it seriously. It's the one we have been looking forward to before the break. It's a massive game for England as well. It will be their last before the Euros, and under a new manager, so all of the players will be trying to show they deserve to be in the team. They will be up for it and so will we.
"For us, it will be about preparation for the qualifiers in September. We want to make sure we qualify for the World Cup in 2014. It will be a good match for us to help our preparation."
And education, for a side to watch out for.Reuse content

I only got a 2 oz bottle and this stuff is very concentrated so a little goes a long way. I sectioned off my hair in 4 parts and was able to get enough product on comb it through and still have plenty left for my next treatment. It's expensive but worth it. I don't think you need to use 2 oz per section as they say on the web site use what ever works for you and your wallet
