Cub's Owners Are Rebuilding
While Root, Root, Rooting

In light of the MacArthur 
Foundation's generosity

                                                                                  Andu Saduko/ Ron+E

some Chicago organizations
have a greater "take away"
than others.

Additional insight about giving
from NYT columnist David Brooks.

Original Title: Startling Adult Friendships, OP-ED 09.19.2014.

"Somebody asked me what I would do if I had $500 million to give away."

"People seem to have a harder time building friendships across class lines.
As society becomes more unequal and segmented, invitations come to people
on the basis of their job status. Middle-aged people have particular problems 
nurturing friendships and building new ones. They are so busy with work and 
kids that friendships are squeezed out."

"So in the fantasy world in which I have $500 million, I'd try to set up places 
that would cultivate friendships."

Now that the Tribune publications
are managed under adult supervision
recent hiring decisions are making sense

So a couple of fellows participate
in a really serious job interview.

I have this advice for them:
a. Make appropriate eye contact
b. Use your inside voice
c. Do your home work
d. Do not be a jerk to fellow candidates
e. Have a "plan b" career in mind if you
    fail to follow any of the above tips.

Unfortunately one of the job candidates 
will get or keep the posted position.

End it all now

Topically speaking and currently trending as per
contemporary social media-- the world is going to
hell in a hand basket. A basket case. While a small
city simmers from summer over-media exposure,
a puzzling high number of otherwise dignified sorts
douse themselves with ice-shower-drenched selfies.

This causes me to wonder. Should our president 
intervene? Would American life be best served by 
pulling the plug on the whole internet thing, that's it 
kids no more internet for you, or ending the broiling
situation in Missouri? It's pretty much his call. One 
action will cause a "third-world war" the other may
rekindle a divisive civil war. 

The harsh reality being----some conflagrations really 
need to burn out sans ministrations from well intended 
do-gooders.  The U.S. Justice Department is there with 
highly focused resources in place. Just chill out America, 
every single individual deserves a vacation--- not one more 
over-dramatized reality show.
