So, in a spur of the moment decision, I started to do one of these in-game blog things while watching the CBC coverage of the Wings-Hawks game today. Don't expect this to be a regular thing - far too much like hard work. Anyway, if you missed the game, hopefully it will make you feel like you were actually there. "There" being sat down in front of my TV in the UK...
Huge personal disappointment as it emerges Mike Milbury is not working for CBC today (bad luck NBC viewers)...P.J. Stock has been let out of his cupboard to join Kelly "Headband" Hrudey at the game...Jim Hughson (the best play-by-play man in the game, in my opinion) and Craig Simpson (meh) to call the game
The big news - no Lidström in the Wings line-up today, joining Datsyuk on the sidelines...is it the All-Star Game today or something?...Kris Draper also misses out
On the Hawks side, a surprise as the little birds circling Martin Havlát's head have apparently disappeared in time for him to play...Dustin Byfuglien's playoff 'fro is also good to go
Still scary-looking ex-Wing / ex-Hawk Bob Probert steps out to drop the ceremonial puck between Jonathan Toews and the dressed Chris Chelios...Probert, of course, a former teammate of Cheli's grandson in junior...Probert to Toews: "Kick their ass" - he's still got it
During the anthem, a crowd shot reveals Stan Mikita to be wearing a very, very ugly jacket
1st Period
Cristobal Huet back in net for the Hawks...Hughson selects "Yoo-ay" from the "101 Ways To Pronounce Huet" book provided to every NHL broadcaster...Havlát is in the starting line-up...hmm, surely an NHL team wouldn't let a player with a concussion lace them up (ahem), so he must be OK...Simpson is "amazed" that he's playing
Very slow start to the game, lots of offsides...Kronwall is predictably booed as he carries the puck...a brief skirmish between Havlát and Franzén - Havlát doesn't seem to be shying away from any contact so far
Byfuglien draws a holding penalty on Zetterberg behind the net...you've seen those called a hook on Byfuglien before...on cue, CBC shows the call on Bolland from Game 3 where Zetterberg appeared to grab Bolland's stick
On the powerplay, a point shot cracks the glass behind Osgood...the Ice Girls in Chicago are portly, middle-aged men with beards?...Barker hits the post
GOAL 1-0 Wings (8:41)...SHG by Hossa...nicely played 2-on-1 break between Filppula and Hossa as nobody covered Brian Campbell at the point as he went in deep...Hossa's shot just squeezed past Yoo-ay...Hawks are 5-2 in the playoffs when their opponent scores first, so no big deal, right?
Horrible giveaway by Kane in his own zone during some 4-on-4 play...he gets away with it...Påhlsson takes a roughing penalty in front of Osgood..."What for?" he shouts at the ref - hmm Sami, maybe that would be for the sneaky arm to the head of an unsuspecting Filppula...several good stops by Yoo-ay on the PK help kill off the penalty
Påhlsson, Byfuglien and Holmström skirmish a little on the way to the benches...2 each for Byfuglien and Holmström...Osgood makes a couple of big saves - on a Toews rush and the follow-up chance from Campbell
GOAL 2-0 (19:39)...playoff goal-machine Franzén pots another one...a screened shot through the defenseman's legs from the off-wing is missed by Yoo-ay...the proverbial "bad time" for the Hawks to concede a goal (they were clearly hoping to concede much, much earlier in the period)
Kronwall almost catches Kane with his head down as the period expires...Kane just saw him coming and avoided Havlát's fate
1st Intermission
Cheli Watch - only 1:08 played in that period...not a huge amount of 5-on-5 play in which to get him out there, but Jeremy Roenick must be screaming at his TV
Scott Morrison provides some breaking news on the Lidström injury...it happened in Game 3, it's lower body, he's day-to-day...thanks - where would the fans be without that dramatic piece of information? Very helpful
2nd Period
As we return, Joel Quenneville is marginally upset on discovering the Hawks will start the period on the PK...an amusing rant, probably even more entertaining to the lip-reading community
GOAL 3-0 (1:13)...Filppula scores a PPG...he puts away a rebound of a Hossa shot, easy finish (Finnish)...Filppula and Hossa are certainly stepping up their games in Datsyuk's absence today...Hughson comments on the deflation in the home crowd: "It sounds like two years ago"
GOAL 3-1 (3:53)...PPG by Toews after Lebda took a penalty for putting the puck over the glass...a rebound of a Barker point shot...will the Wings' weak PK (a PPG conceded in 12 straight games now) eventually hurt them at some point in these playoffs?...Simpson: "A bad penalty leads to a goal 90% of the time"...really, Craig? Sounds a bit on the high side, but then I don't have the actual numbers in front of me...some hope for the Hawks and the crowd?
GOAL 4-1 (4:05)...that would be a "no" then...Hossa nets his second of the game almost straight away...a nice goal coming down the right wing...another point to Filppula as well...it's suddenly 2007 in Chicago again
Yoo-ay is out, Corey Crawford is put in...not a great performance by the rusty Yoo-ay, but the Hawks have been very flat...Leino draws two penalties on one play, so a two-minute 5-on-3 is on the way for the Wings...safe to say that things aren't going too well for the Hawks right now
GOAL 5-1 (7:42)...Zetterberg scores on the 5-on-3 PP...he deposits a backhand from the side of the net...tough start for Crawford...neither Walker nor Versteeg in the box appear too keen to come out
Crawford gets better acquainted with the rear end of Detroit's #96 on the remainder of the PP...Versteeg comes out of the box and heads right back there for roughing...a bit of a weak one there, but Keith gets away with a cross-check on Franzén at the same time
Nothing more interesting than the second half of a game that has become a blowout so early, eh?...Simpson notes that Havlát has not played for a while...gotta admire the courage of a player to come out and play after a hit like he took, but it just smells like a mistake - you're risking a hell of a lot (long-term health and big free agent money for a start) if you really did suffer a head injury...Havlát still on the bench though, so maybe he's OK
Very little going on at all in the last 10 minutes of the period...a Franzén half-break comes to nothing as Toews is allowed a few free whacks at him to slow him down...the 3rd period could take a while with all the scrums and message sending that is likely to go on
2nd Intermission
Cheli Watch - only 40 seconds of ice-time for Chris that period...JR writes a strongly-worded letter to Canadian Prime Minister, Stephen Harper
CBC host, Scott Oake tells us that Mike Babcock wasn't aware of Lidström's injury until he was in the cab on the way to today's game (so, the driver knew?)...he speculates that it may not, therefore, be a "body injury"...not sure what that could mean - Out with hurt feelings? A broken aura?...given a second viewing, Mikita's jacket is still not good...did he lose a bet with Don Cherry?
3rd Period
News from the goalie carousel...Ty Conklin is between the pipes for the Wings now, while Yoo-ay is back for the Hawks...has Mike Keenan found a new job already without anyone noticing?
Kane draws a soft cross-check call on Hossa...quickly evened up by a similar call on Bolland...Holmström accidentally steps on Seabrook's foot/ankle...Seabrook goes off hurt, but it doesn't look serious...the Hawks seem to be lucky with these skate incidents, following Burish's escape in Game 1...another penalty drawn by Leino - an elbow to the back of the head by Keith...Eager is also gone, taking his second 10-minute misconduct of the game
Jimmy Howard, come on down!...he takes a seat on the bench for the rest of the period...is Osgood hurt or is he just playing dominoes with Chelios in the dressing room?...Mike Vernon and Tony Esposito are said to be warming up "just in case"...Brouwer is called for a trip on Hossa
GOAL 6-1 (12:47)...PPG for Zetterberg, his second tally of the game...another rebound from a point shot...Simpson points out the nice job of Zetterberg kicking the puck onto his stick before putting it home (these sissy Euros with their sissy soccer skills)...the Hawks are totally lifeless now
Filppula hooks "Soupy" Campbell in the corner...Simpson makes a gratuitous (but seemingly unintentional) "can opener" reference on looking at the replay...Versteeg takes another 10-minute misconduct during the PP...perhaps he wanted to join the Chelios/Osgood/Eager dominoes tourney
Chelios hits the ice!...an immediate TV timeout means the old guy gets another 45 seconds to get his joints loose...CBC show what appears to be a non-too-friendly discussion between Babcock and Chelios from the end of the 2nd period...interesting...the game drifts to a conclusion, with one final scrum on the buzzer...FINAL SCORE 6-1 WINGS
A pretty disappointing game to watch as the Hawks just didn't show up, but some impressive performances from the Wings all the same...so far, the Conference Finals have been a bit of a let down for the neutral fan, following the events of the first two rounds...the depth of the Wings clearly showed in this game, while the Hawks struggled without much input from Havlát and, in particular, Kane...who will be in goal for the teams in Game 5?
Cheli Watch - he ends up just playing 4:37, most of that in garbage time...he did draw four minutes of penalties on Burish at the final buzzer (Attacking a pensioner? You should be ashamed, Adam)...JR chains himself to Don Cherry's wardrobe

James "Whitey" Bulger's gold and diamond claddagh ring, his collection of hats and hoodies, and even the rat-shaped cup he used as a pencil holder could soon be sold to the highest bidder, according to federal authorities.
The US Marshals Service will auction off many of the items seized from Bulger's Santa Monica, Calif., apartment following his arrest two years ago, and the profits will be split among the families of the people who were murdered by Bulger, authorities said.
Federal prosecutors said the items that belonged to Bulger and his girlfriend are in storage in Massachusetts and are being appraised, with Bulger's bling believed to have the highest face value: the claddagh ring's estimated worth is $48,000, and his replica 1986 Stanley Cup championship ring is valued at about $3,000. But they said they have yet to decide whether it's appropriate, or tasteful, to cash in on the killer's notoriety by selling some of the miscellany, from his blue and white dinnerware to his sneakers, Asics, size 9.5.
There is also the boxing mannequin that Bulger donned with a hat and propped in the window of his third-floor apartment at 1012 Third St. to make it appear as if someone was keeping watch.There is a folding latrine shovel, binoculars, a telescope, camouflage clothing, 14 pairs of jeans, nine fedoras, 27 pairs of sunglasses, ceramic poodle salt and pepper shakers, assorted porcelain cats, a Bose radio, a 40-inch flat-screen Sony television, and hundreds of books, many with Bulger's handwritten notations scrawled in the margins.There's also a McCain/Palin campaign button and a God Bless America poster.
"The reality is there are lots of people who would be willing to pay money for some or all of the contents of that apartment, and that money is going to victims and victims' families. So we want to do what we can to get as much money as we can for them," First Assistant US Attorney Jack Pirozzolo said in a telephone interview.
However, Pirozzolo said authorities are concerned that some people may perceive it as glorifying Bulger if personal belongings of little value are included in the auction.
"He's a vicious person and a depraved killer, and that's not someone to be glorified," Pirozzolo said.
Two relatives of Bulger's victims said they supported the government's effort to get as much money as possible for the families.
"If they can sell anything he owned down to a ballpoint pen, then good luck to them," said Patricia Donahue, whose husband, Michael Donahue, was shot to death by Bulger in 1982 while giving a ride home to a man who was targeted by Bulger. ""I'm sure the victims could use the money."
The US Marshals Service, which handles seized assets, has raised millions through auctions in the past for victims of crime, especially where notoriety boosted sales.
Ponzi schemer Bernard Madoff's monogrammed velvet slippers were part of a lot that sold for $6,000 at a New York auction three years ago, while his unused boxers and socks sold for $1,700.
In another high-profile auction, the Marshals Service sold the belongings of Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber, netting $20,053 for the handwritten copy of his manifesto and $20,025 for the hooded sweatshirt and sunglasses he wore.
"It's difficult to tell what an item might sell for given the notoriety of a defendant," said Jason Wojdylo, chief inspector of the asset forfeiture division of the US Marshals Service.
In Bulger's case, Wojdylo said, "There is a fine line when you are dealing with victims like you are in this particular case . . .we don't want to cause any undue emotional distress."
Wojdylo said the US attorney's office will decide what to sell. Once the court approves the sale, it generally takes 30 to 60 days to schedule an auction, he said. The agency could conduct a live auction or an online auction, or do both simultaneously.
Bulger, 84, was convicted in August of participating in 11 murders, drug trafficking, extortion, and other crimes while running a sprawling criminal enterprise in Greater Boston from the 1970s through the 1990s and being protected by corrupt FBI agents.The former South Boston crime boss was sentenced Nov. 14 to two consecutive life terms in prison.
Donahue said she doesn't understand why anyone would want to buy something Bulger owned, but she added: "I don't care what they do with his things as long as he is out of the picture and in jail where he belongs."
Tim Connors, whose father, Dorchester tavern owner Edward Connors, was gunned down by Bulger in 1975, said it wouldn't offend him if everything Bulger owned was auctioned.
"They are trying to do the right thing, so I don't think it's insensitive," he said.
As for the rat-shaped pencil holder that was seized in Bulger's apartment, according to prosecutors, Connors predicted it would fetch a good price.
During Bulger's eight-week trial, the defense tried to refute Bulger's status as a longtime FBI informant, arguing that a corrupt agent fabricated the gangster's informant file.
Bulger, who fled just before his 1995 racketeering indictment in Boston, was arrested in June 2011 in Santa Monica, where he had lived in the same rent-controlled apartment for 15 years with his girlfriend, Catherine Greig.The FBI found $822,000 cash and 30 guns hidden in the apartment.
US District Judge Denise J. Casper ordered a $25.2 million forfeiture judgment against Bulger, which allows the government to seize all of his current and future assets — including any profit he might make by selling his life story — to satisfy the judgment.
At the time of his arrest, Bulger was working on a memoir, which was seized from his apartment. Agents also seizedholiday cards that Greig had written to Bulger.
Assistant US Attorney Mary B. Murrane said prosecutors have not made a decision on whether the cards would be offered at auction. She also said Bulger's memoir would not be auctioned, since it is part of the evidence in his case.Bulger has appealed his federal conviction and still faces murder charges in Oklahoma and Florida.
"We certainly need to keep anything that might be evidence in future cases,"Murrane said.
She said the government can go forward with the auction while Bulger's appeal is pending if the court issues an order allowing his belongings to be sold.The proceeds would be held in escrow until the appeal is decided.
The Marshals Service will not sell Bulger's gun collection. Wojdylo said forfeited guns are generally destroyed, but it's possible one of Bulger's firearms could be given to the Smithsonian Institution for display if it is deemed to have historical value.
"No decision has been made in that regard," Wojdylo said."We want to be very sensitive to the victims in this case."Shelley Murphy can be reached at email@example.com her on Twitter @shelleymurph.

Labour Party youth leader Eskil Pedersen speaks as thousands of people turn up in poor weather to participate in the singing of a popular children's song at Youngstorget Square in Oslo on April 26, 2012.
Reuters reports — Up to 40,000 Norwegians staged an emotionally-charged sing-along in Oslo on Thursday near the court house where Anders Behring Breivik is on trial for the murder of 77 people in a protest organizers said showed he had not broken their tolerant society.
"It's we who win," said guitar-strumming folk singer Lillebjoern Nilsen as he led the mass sing-along and watched the crowd sway gently in the rain. Many held roses above their heads, and some wept.
Norwegians to protest mass-killer, singing song he hates
The crowd chose to sing a song - "Children of the Rainbow" - that extols the type of multicultural society Breivik has said he despised and one that he specifically dismissed during the trial as Marxist propaganda. Read the full story.

Of the many people who turned up in poor weather to participate in the singing of "Barn av Regnbuen" ("Children of the Rainbow"), quite a few went on to place flowers for the victims near the entrance to the Oslo courthouse, where the trial of Anders Behring Breivik continued.
Tens of thousands of people gathered in Oslo to sing a children's song calling for peace, as a protest against mass killer Anders Behring Breivik. Msnbc.com's Dara Brown reports.
Friends and family of his victims looked on Friday as Anders Breivik calmly describes chasing down and killing dozens of teenagers during a shooting spree last year on Utoya Island in Norway. Msnbc.com's Al Stirrett reports.
The nation looks to rally after a bombing and shooting spree leaves 77 people dead.

ISLANDER'S 'AMAZING RACE' TO THE NATIONAL STAGE Dongan Hills bartender globetrots with her friend in a top TV reality show Wednesday, March 28, 2007By DANE VARRIANOADVANCE STAFF WRITER STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Lots of Staten Islanders know Danielle Turner as the pretty, personable bartender at Es-Ca restaurant, Dongan Hills. The rest of the world knows her as an adventurous contestant on "Amazing Race," the reality-television show. After being scouted in Las Vegas, the 23-year-old Tottenville resident made her television debut in the ninth season of the CBS hit show, with her friend Danielle Torchio. Eric Sanchez was a competitor, and now the dating couple is on the show together for the "Amazing Race All-Stars," Season 11.Ms. Turner and Sanchez, a Floridian, are globetrotting in competition with other two-person teams for the $1 million grand prize. They rose to second place two weeks ago, and now stand in fifth place. They have five more episodes to make up the ground and claim the big prize. The show airs Sundays at 8 p.m. on CBS. Racing in the show, which entails rushing around the world while facing obstacles and chores, is demanding -- but Ms. Turner loves the adventure. "It's so tiring and draining, it really is not that easy," she said, " but it's so rewarding, you feel so proud of yourself." During her travels with nothing but an extremely tight budget, two shirts and only a few belongings, including toiletries, Ms. Turner often longs for home, but her innate craving for adventure keeps her going strong. Although she anticipates seeing more of the world, she can't wait to go home and have a home-cooked meal and a nice relaxing bath. Her parents supported her desire to be on the show, knowing she would love to gain an amazing experience. But not being allowed to hear her voice over the phone for 40 days is difficult for them. "I'm not allowed to speak to anyone, not even my family -- no phone calls, letters, nothing," Ms. Turner stressed. Dealing with people in her role as a bartender may be good practice for Ms. Turner when interacting with people around the world. The four-year-veteran bartender is well known at Es-Ca for her outgoing and friendly personality; plus, she can serve a delicious drink. "She's is a wonderful bartender with a great personality," said Michael Calore, Es-Ca's owner. The Es-Ca bartender is looking forward to doing more modeling and television work and is proud of her accomplishments thus far. As of now, her experience on the "Amazing Race" show, Ms. Turner said, is nothing shor of "amazing!" Dane Varriano is a reporter for the Advance.

Ken Burns just never tires of delving into American history and plumbing its depths.
Now, the prolific filmmaker has turned his attention to what he calls "the greatest man-made ecological disaster" the nation has ever experienced. "The Dust Bowl," a two-part, four-hour documentary, premieres on PBS Nov. 18.
"It's a cautionary tale," Burns told journalists gathered here for TV's summer press tour. "It's an epic of human pain and suffering, but also the story of heroic perseverance."
"The Dust Bowl" chronicles the environmental catastrophe that, throughout the 1930s, destroyed the farmlands of the Great Plains, turned prairies into deserts and unleashed a series of massive and deadly dust storms — so-called black blizzards — upon the region.
It was "an apocalypse that is so hard to fathom and comprehend," Burns said.
Burns and fellow filmmaker Dayton Duncan said they had been considering a documentary on the Dust Bowl for years and finally dove into the project, sensing an urgency to work on it before aging survivors passed away.
One of the survivors featured in the film is Cal Crabill, who lived in Colorado during the Dust Bowl until his family fled to Southern California. He grew up in Burbank and later attended UC Berkeley. Crabill recalled being out on his horse as an 8-year-old when a huge dust storm enveloped him.
"I just assumed it was the end of the world," he recalled.
Duncan said there's an important lesson within the Dust Bowl that still carries resonance today.
"We believe we can ignore the limits of nature if it suits our purposes," he said "… It's an arrogance that we are prone to — that we know better than nature, or that nature is going to change its ways."

Fresh clam pizza is what defines Pepe's for me. Whenever I go there, that's what I order. I'm hooked. The other week, Gary Biamonte, grandson of Frank Pepe, who opened the original Pizzeria Napoletana in New Haven, came to the Fairfield Pepe's and got me to try a few others. He showed me the history of Pepe's in its pies.
The story starts with the crust. That hand-formed, thin, charred crust is the foundation of the pizza and the business. Frank Pepe started as a baker. He arrived in New Haven in 1909, an illiterate boy from Maiori on the Italian Amalfi Coast. After working in a factory and returning to Italy to fight in World War I, he came back to New Haven and opened a bread bakery in what is now Frank Pepe's The Spot, next to Pepe's on Wooster Street. Distribution, the bane of many a small business, was a stumbling block. But if he started making "apizza" (pronounced "ah-beets" in his Neopolitan dialect)... the customer would come to him. The New Haven apizza legend was born.
Today, Pepe's crust combines crisp, charred, chewy texture, and pleasing saltiness. Biamonte is secretive about how how they make it. He mentions "we get our own blend of flour." He mentions fermentation, and the dough being very wet. That's all I could get out of him.
Many of us grew up thinking mozzarella is an integral part of pizza. But the first pizzas Pepe and his wife Filomena started making in 1925 didn't have mozzarella on them. It was just tomato and grated parmesan. That pizza, known as The Original Tomato Pie, is still on Pepe's menu, and it's eye-opening in its simplicity and balance of bright tomato sauce, flavored with garlic and oregano, and grated cheese and crust.
Pepe's offers The Original with mozzarella, too. My dining companions said they just love mozzarella, and they dug into that. I found The Original in its original state to be utterly fresh and satisfying. I wasn't tempted by the cheese.
On that much debated topic of cheese and fish, Pepe's is on the cheese side. When Frank and Filomena started making pizzas, they offered just one variation. The Original with anchovies. These days, we recognize the umami properties of cheese and anchovies. The pizza, featuring Italian anchovies, remains on the menu.
Grated cheese is a base for the fresh clam pizza, and it plays its part without drawing attention to itself. I've always marveled at how plump, juicy and tender the clams have been every time I've eaten at Pepe's in Fairfield and New Haven. Biamonte, who grew up shucking clams in Pepe's kitchen, says "The key is, they're really fresh." Pepe's, especially their pizzerias near the shore, move a lot of clams. (Pepe's uses 80 to 90 bushels of clams a week in New Haven.)
So, where did the fresh clam pizza come from? Back in the '40s and '50s, there was a guy with a cart selling clams near Pepe's, so they put half shells on the menu. One day, someone got the idea to put them on the pizza. Since the mid-sixties, fresh clam pizzas have become more and more popular. I usually order the fresh clam pie with bacon, but, now that Biamonte has shown me how good it is without bacon, it will be easier to pass on that indulgence.
Fairfield was the first Pepe's outside New Haven, and it was controversial when it opened seven years ago. In New Haven, picketers carried signs, "Don't Leave New Haven!" Meanwhile, in Fairfield, people lined up just like they did on Wooster Street. But the first reviews were bad. People said the pizza didn't taste the same. They were right. The custom-built, 50-ton oven was new. "The bricks and mortar needed to dry out," Biamonte said. It needed to cure. The family learned from the experience. As they opened new places, they applied the lesson. "Now, we fire the oven up four months ahead," Biamonte said. In Fairfield, the oven's firing up pizzas for a steady line of customers.
Frank Pepe's two daughters Elizabeth and Serafina inherited and "continued to run it like Pop did." Their children run the business today, and despite the expansion to Danbury, Manchester, West Hartford, Mohegan Sun, and in Yonkers, N.Y., their business has remained focused. Pizza, salad, soda, beer and wine. (We always get a pitcher of Peroni, which we pour into the tall, chilled Peroni glasses that fit so well in the hand.)
While sticking with the classics, Pepe's has adapted to contemporary tastes. A white pie of spinach, mushroom, and gorgonzola is a loaded, cheesy pie. The vegetables are fresh. Back in the day, "Pop" used fresh mushrooms. Then there were decades of canned. Today, Pepe's uses fresh mushroom, Biamonte said. In summer (July 1-Labor Day), the fresh tomato pie with basil is "off-the-charts" popular, he said.
Next time, I'm still ordering the fresh clam pie. But that's not all. Let's make some room here. Move the pitcher of beer. Here comes The Original Tomato Pie and the Margherita with fresh mozzarella and basil.

San Juan Mayor Accuses Trump Of Committing Genocide
San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz accused President Donald Trump Thursday of condemning the Puerto Rican people to "a slow death" for what she characterizes as an act of "genocide."
"Mr. President, you seem to want to disregard the moral imperative that your administration has been unable to fulfill," Cruz said in a statement. "While you are amusing yourself throwing paper towels at us, your compatriots and the world are sending love and help our way. Condemn us to a slow death of non drinkable water, lack of food, lack of medicine while you keep others eager to help from reaching us."
Two major hurricanes — Irma and Maria — hit Puerto Rico in September, leaving over 90 percent of the island's citizens without power and half without running water.
"I ask the United Nations, UNICEF, and the world to stand with the people of Puerto Rico and stop the genocide that will result from a lack of appropriate action from the president," Cruz said. "Mr. President, fulfill your moral imperative towards the people of Puerto Rico."

New Initiative Invites Storytellers to Create Interactive Music Films for Songs by Damon Albarn, Aloe Blacc, and Ellie Goulding
New York, NY – (January 28, 2014) –The Tribeca Film Festival (TFF), presented by AT&T, today announced Tribeca Interactive & Interlude: A Music Film Challenge in collaboration with The Lincoln Motor Company via Genero.tv's global creative community. For the first time, Tribeca and its partners invite storytellers and content creators to work with Interlude's interactive video platform to create an interactive music film for major music artists Damon Albarn, Aloe Blacc, and Ellie Goulding, with the winning project for each screening at TFF.
The new Challenge underscores the shared commitment of the partners to explore the future of storytelling in the digital age using the creative flexibility and audience engagement capabilities of Interlude's patented interactive video technology. Working with Genero's global creative community of more than 250,000 filmmakers from 190 countries, this program furthers Tribeca's dedication to supporting new approaches to storytelling, and bringing new content with a fresh perspective to a wide variety of audiences both locally in New York City and internationally across social and digital channels through collaboration with technology innovators.
The Challenge will begin on January 28 when digital storytellers can create interactive music films for the music tracks "Heavy Seas of Love" by Damon Albarn from his forthcoming solo album, "Ticking Bomb" by Aloe Blacc, and "Dead in the Water" by Ellie Goulding. A jury will select finalists for each of the three music tracks, with the artists aiding the jury to select the winner for each of their respective songs. The winning entry will be aligned with Damon Albarn's "Everyday Robots" album official campaign, Aloe Blacc's "Lift Your Spirit," and Ellie Goulding's "Halcyon Days" respectively. The winning filmmakers will receive $10,000 each and a trip to attend the Tribeca Film Festival. Submissions close on March 27 at genero.tv/Tribeca.
- "New technologies are unlocking a world of storytelling opportunities for filmmakers to captivate, engage, and entertain audiences. We are always looking for ways to introduce new technology to the filmmaking community at the Festival," said Jane Rosenthal, co-founder, Tribeca Film Festival.
"Lincoln embraces the spirit of forward-thinking design and transformation, and we look to collaborate with those who share this vision," said Matt VanDyke, director, Global Lincoln. "The Festival redefines the art of filmmaking and film viewing experiences with two innovative platforms, and Tribeca attracts those who fully embrace this personal approach to the art of storytelling."
Said Aloe Blacc, "I'm excited to see how 'Ticking Bomb' is interpreted by Genero's community of directors. Whilst the song is meant to shed light on an issue close to my heart, I'm interested to see how the song inspires and translates through Genero's community. I'm definitely not expecting videos that offer a literal interpretation of the lyrics, and I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with!"
To participate, filmmakers will use Treehouse – Interlude's self-service authoring suite – to create an interactive music film set to one of the three songs. With Treehouse's simple and intuitive interface, participants can design their interactive music films in a multi-branch, multi-layered, tree-structured style, which will allow viewers to play an active role in the storytelling process. To encourage participation, Genero will leverage its vast community and engage filmmakers from across the world who have made official music videos for artists, including Moby, David Lynch, Duran Duran, Muse, David Guetta, and many more.
In the past few years, Interlude has collaborated with a number of leading music artists to create videos that have received wide recognition – including two MTV O Music Awards – and was behind the globally acclaimed interactive video for Bob Dylan's classic "Like a Rolling Stone." Now with Tribeca Interactive & Interlude: A Music Film Challenge in collaboration with The Lincoln Motor Company, the partners are inviting storytellers around the world to use Interlude's unique technology to express their artistic visions.
- "It is very rewarding to see a film festival as respected and beloved as Tribeca embrace interactive video," said Yoni Bloch, co-founder and CEO of Interlude. "Technology is empowering creativity and shaping storytelling in the digital age, and we can't wait to see how filmmakers and others leverage Treehouse to fuel their creativity and inspiration."
TFF will showcase the finalists' films during the Tribeca Online Festival and display them throughout Festival venues and lounges via interactive kiosks, in addition to the Challenge website.
- "Tribeca Interactive & Interlude: A Music Film Challenge in collaboration with The Lincoln Motor Company is an amazing platform for our filmmaking community to showcase their talents and further their careers," said Andrew Lane, co-founder of Genero. "Working beyond linear videos and into a new format of interactivity, this is a fresh opportunity for our community, and we are confident their unparalleled creativity will result in engaging and memorable work for Damon Albarn, Aloe Blacc, and Ellie Goulding."
Lincoln's collaboration with Tribeca, Interlude and Genero builds upon its leadership in recent initiatives involving the music and film industry, including Lincoln's interactive concert experience with Beck in February 2013 and support of emerging film talent with Vanity Fair and Film Independent in September 2013.
To participate, visit genero.tv/Tribeca. Questions regarding submissions may be directed to email@example.com.
About Damon Albarn
Everyday Robots, the first fully-realized Damon Albarn solo album is released in April 2014. Its twelve songs invite the listener into Albarn's world for a genuine 'one-to-one' and are the most soul-searching and autobiographical since his musical journey began.
Albarn is first to admit he's a restless soul when it comes to music. What's certain is that all of the projects of his musical career thus far - from Blur to Gorillaz, The Good, The Bad & The Queen, Mali Music, Monkey: Journey To The West or Dr Dee - help form this singular artist's musical DNA.
This album is quite clearly about his experiences, from early childhood right through. Ghosts of Albarn's boyhood in Leytonstone and Colchester walk hand-in-hand with reflections on life and love, on nature versus technology. He visits more recent habitats...under London's Westway and idyllic Devon… as well as pondering the trappings of modern existence such as computer games and mobile phones.
'Everyday Robots' was recorded in Albarn's 13 Studio in London and is produced by Richard Russell, head of XL Recordings.
About Aloe Blacc
The soulful singer-songwriter who co-wrote and provided vocals for Swedish DJ Avicii's international hit single "Wake Me Up," which hit No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 1 on Billboard's Hot Dance Club Songs and Dance/Electronic Songs charts, as well as in over 100 countries around the world, including the U.K., where it became the fastest-selling single of 2013.
This year Blacc made his first major-label debut via XIX Recordings/Interscope Records in September with the release of his EP, entitled 'Wake Me Up'.
Blacc has also been in the studio working on his upcoming album, 'Lift Your Spirit', with such songwriters and producers as Pharrell, DJ Khalil and Harold Lilly, among others. 'Lift Your Spirit' is now available for pre-order http://smarturl.it/LiftYourSpiritAB
About Ellie Goulding
UK singer/ songwriter Ellie Goulding recently released 'Halcyon Days,' a special edition that includes ten new tracks in addition to the deluxe sophomore album Halcyon. Halcyon Days features her fourth consecutive platinum single "Burn" as well as her other platinum selling single "Anything Could Happen" and the Top 10 song, "I Need Your Love," the Calvin Harris collaboration.
The New York Times described 'Halcyon' as "a deeply felt swirl of synthesizers, piano and slowly building crescendos." "The hooks always go to town, and her voice mates gorgeously with electronics," raved Rolling Stone.
Goulding's debut album, 'Lights' was the best-selling debut album of 2010 in the UK and has spawned several singles including her quadruple platinum selling title track.

Piercing and stretching ears, sometimes to an extreme, is moving from edgy body modification to mainstream as the practice becomes more common.
Piercing and stretching ears, sometimes to an extreme, is moving from edgy body modification to mainstream as the practice becomes more common.
Gauges — the jewelry put inside a stretched lobe — are now being sold in many specialty stores. They come in a variety of colors, patterns and sizes. Gauges even come in a flesh tone, in case you want it to blend in and cover the holes.
C.J. Lastella and Krista Slack of Controlled Abrasions tattoo and piercing parlor on Route 6/209 both have gauges in their ears. This week they answered a few questions about the practice of wearing gauges.
Q: How do you get holes that big?
A: First, you need to pierce the ear. Then a surgical steel taper pin is inserted. The pin starts small, at the size of your current piercing, and is the thickness of the next size up on the other end. After the pin is worked through, a properly sized gauge is inserted. The ears will continue to stretch from the weight of the jewelry while you wear the gauges. After you sense stretching has occurred, you can try another size up.
Q: Does it hurt?
A: Yes and no. Gauges particularly hurt when you skip sizes and you go up too fast. It can tear the ear. You should wait 6-8 weeks between stretching to give the ears time to heal. It is a warm sensation and doesn't hurt like an ear piercing.
Q: How does the sizing work?
A: Common earrings, about the size of a wire, are usually a size 20 gauge. From there, the number goes down as the size goes up. The biggest size used to be a double zero, that is, 11/32 of an inch. It is as big as manufacturers were making jewelry for a while. Now jewelry makers are starting to make even bigger gauges, up to two inches.
Q: What if you change your mind? Are the holes forever?
A: Everybody is different but for most folks, gauge holes size double zero and below will shrink back down in about a year if you stop wearing them. Anything bigger may need to be stitched up by a surgeon.
Q: Any tips for gauge getters?
A: Don't do it on your own!
In Pennsylvania, you don't need a license to open a shop so be careful where you pierce. Look for someone who has been properly trained with a certificate on the wall from the Alliance of Professional Tattooists and the Alliance of Professional Piercers.
Lastella went through a licensed course in New Jersey, an apprenticeship, and continues to hold a New Jersey license.

A blink of a camera eye, or a smash-cut in the editing room, can mark the difference between breathlessness and contempt.
This is what Jean-Luc Godard's joyously chaotic ruminations on cinema, lust, regret and more cinema have proven ever since "Breathless" ("Contempt" came later) changed things for good back in 1960.
The Cannes Film Festival rejected "Breathless" for its competition slate that year. The year before, Godard's Cahiers du Cinema colleagues all traveled south from Paris to see critic and fledgling filmmaker Francois Truffaut pick up an award for his feature debut, "The 400 Blows." From the film magazine's cashbox Godard swiped enough for train fare to join them in Cannes that May, and to get his own filmmaking debut, "Breathless," taken from a treatment by Truffaut, off the ground in terms of financing.
In the decades since, the iconoclastic Godard's on-again, off-again relationship with Cannes has continued. And on Wednesday the latest notes-from-the-underground cine-essay by Godard premiered in a competition slot at the 67th festival.
It is called "Goodbye to Language," and it's a bracing riddle, more buoyant in spirit than "Film Socialisme." Prominently featured is a dog, whose name I didn't catch in the closing credits, playing a dog named Roxy. When Roxy's nose points straight at the camera, it's a delightfully invasive sight, reason enough to justify Godard's cheeky decision to shoot "Goodbye to Language" in 3-D, on a variety of low- and medium-grade video cameras.
Godard has never won an award here. He may never win an award here. But it was truly moving to experience first-hand the hearty reception afforded "Goodbye to Language" among the 2,300 Godard freaks in attendance at the festival's largest venue, the Lumiere.
As was the case when Godard's nutty whatzit "Film Socialisme" premiered in Cannes four years ago, Godard declined to attend the festival. The festival posted on its website Wednesday an eight-minute "letter in motion," a video RSVP Godard sent to festival heads Gilles Jacob and Thierry Fremaux. Speaking in French, Godard thanked "my old comrades" for "inviting me to climb your majestic stairs." Thanks, he said, but no thanks, citing his lack of interest in, and removal from, the world of international film distribution as it was once practiced.
Here's Godard's own description of "Goodbye to Language." The idea, he wrote for the Cannes program notes, "is simple/a married woman and a single man meet/they love, they argue, fists fly/a dog strays between town and country/the seasons pass…" The images return to a Lake Geneva, Switzerland, ferry and, indoors, to the naked body of Heloise Godet. The men are played by Kamel Abdelli and Richard Chevallier. The dog crosses some tricky-looking rapids, and takes napes on the couch, and appears to share the director's demeanor. Roxy embodies the notion of constancy and loyalty. The humans on view, as has long been the case in Godard's work, do not.
Descriptions are close to useless with "Goodbye to Language," which quotes freely from Victor Hugo, Herman Melville, Mary Shelley (she's also a character in one scene) and Samuel Beckett. Beckett's own chipper fatalism, as well as his mistrust of conventional language, seems especially in synch with the film's zigzagging curiosity. Some of the images are wondrous. There's a shot of Godet from the top of her head down, in 3-D, that is beautiful enough to make you cry. It's a few seconds of everything Godard ever did for the movies, crystallized: We sense the desire behind the eyes of the man behind the camera, but it's not merely salacious. It's sad, a human moment captured just so.
Elsewhere a simple shot of a car windshield wiper going fwoop-fwoop in the rain takes on a strange import in the 3-D format. This is how long Godard has loved the cinema; he was around as a cinephile and lover of trash to see the 3-D films of the 1950s, and now here we are. "Goodbye to Language" is a dreamy blur, a melange of World War II imagery, and frantically shifting styles. At one point one of the men enjoys a bowel movement in the pose of Rodin's "The Thinker." Pure adolescent effrontery. Godard is a French-Swiss gangsta now and forever, and he still makes movies that confound and perplex and entice. And the festival is richer for it.
The Godard film swims in all sorts of water imagery – rivers, lakes, slush on a windshield. The same can be said of Ryan Gosling's directorial debut, "Lost River," which premiered Tuesday with Gosling in attendance. A competition title in the Un Certain Regard sidebar, it's the other determined discombobulator of the 2014 festival. I never thought I'd have Jean-Luc Godard and Ryan Gosling next door to each other in the same sentence, but life is funny.
"Lost River" isn't, and it's not trying to be. A half-baked "Beasts of the Northern Wild," Gosling's fairy tale was shot in Detroit and takes place in a mythical water-logged land with a lot of abandoned and soon-to-be-demolished housing. One resident (Christina Hendricks of "Mad Men") resorts to a bizarre, burlesque-y variety show for employment, while her son Bones (Iain De Caestecker, in the soulful, T-shirted Ryan Gosling role) becomes an urban-blight Shane, a guardian angel and an all-around savior for his little community of stragglers.
Gosling's first effort caused an insta-tsunami of ill will via Twitter here in Cannes. A lot of it's deserved, but more than the movie really deserves. Yes, it's incoherent. Yes, it's derivative, full of David Lynch and (more problematically) color schemes and violent adolescent daydreams out of Nicolas Winding Refn, with whom Gosling made "Drive" and "Only God Forgives." But it has some visual ideas in it, interesting and mysterious ones, and while the film's overall rhythm relates to some of the same problems I have with Gosling's performances — he's nobody's idea of a fleet-footed master of pace — I say: Wait for film No. 2 before writing him off as a director.

Based on the data from the Annual Reports on the Federal Work Force and agency Form 462 Reports, the Commission has developed two tables for each year which describe the use of ADR in the pre-complaint and formal complaint stages of the federal sector EEO process. These tables provide data for every federal agency that reports to the EEOC. When one of the HIGHLIGHTED columns is selected, the table will rank the agencies from highest to lowest based on the data in that column. In addition, if a particular agency name is selected, an AGENCY PROFILE and ADR data for a FIVE year period will be displayed.

This is Alireza Ahmadian, a Vancouver-based writer, contributor and member of New Canadian Media (NCM). On behalf of NCM, I am reaching out to you to provide an update on NCM Collective (the Collective).
We are pleased with the response we have received thus far, so thank you so much for coming on board. Our membership has already doubled. There is definite interest in forming a collective of high-calibre journalists who can generate local content from a variety of ethnocultural perspectives.
Consider becoming a member of the Collective. It costs only $10. When you are a Collective member you will be paid $100 (the minimum) for each contribution you make to NCM's on-line content. By representing and advocating on your behalf, New Canadian Media will be able to access many more funding sources than are currently available. NCM has determined that the Canada Periodical Fund's Collective Initiatives is a particularly good fit to support our journalism.
I'm delighted to confirm that we have joined the National NewsMedia Council to put a spotlight on our journalistic standards and our high ethical values. As you will notice, we thus join the very best of legacy media. Here's how this benefits members of the NCM Collective:
1) Pre-publication ethics support: Have a burning question that you're not sure how to answer? Give us a call. Our media ethics 'hotline' is always available for you to consult.

Every second week we'll provide you with a column on a topical issue in the journalism business that you can use in your newspaper, or on your website. We want to help you educate your audience on the importance of good journalism.
4) Build your own journalism skills: The NNC offers tailored in-person seminars on a variety of topics, ranging from social media ethics, to respecting individual privacy, to the rights of reporters. We also have a partnership agreement in place with the Poynter Institute so you can sign up for one or more of their award-winning webinars and work through them at your own pace.
5) Be part of 'the club': As home to a collective of freelance journalists, you are the future of the news business. While industry cutbacks present challenges to becoming 'plugged in' to the media scene, the NNC will help you build those important connections you need to help you grow your career in journalism.
The more Collective members we have, the more credible our claim will be that we represent voices absent in mainstream media. NCM's Collective is about your voice, my voice -- our voices. By becoming a member, you can play a pivotal role in shaping Canadian discourse and in how we are governed.

We are currently living in the dawn of digital media, when things like games, music, and television are all available on demand, without the need for physical media. However, this process is still in its early life, as many types of media can only be experienced by going out and buying a disc. But this day will come eventually, and according to Atari president Phil Harrison, it'll be here soon.
"There's a generation of kids being born today and probably already alive who I'm pretty confident will never buy a physical media product," Harrison told Edge. "They will never buy a DVD, they will never buy a CD, and they will never buy a game in a box."
While Harrison's estimates may be a little optimistic, it's hard to deny that games are moving towards digital distribution. PC gamers have access to services like Steam and Good Old Games, which offer a vast library of games online, while each of the current generation of home consoles has some sort of digital distribution platform. However, given Atari's feelings on used game sales, it's not surprising that the company is pushing towards a digital distribution model.

Well, here's my first attempt at a tutorial. Please bear with me...there are over 40 pictures that show the step by step procedure so it's going to take awhile to upload all these pics!
With each picture there will be a caption describing (as best I can) what is occurring in each step. Hopefully the pics and written instructions working together will make things pretty clear.
Please note that this technique is NOT original to me by any means! I purchased the book, "It's a Wrap...Sewing Fabric Purses, Baskets, and Bowls" by Susan Breier and used her method for making this basket.
Overall, I have enjoyed the 2 baskets I have made. I will probably make more but be forewarned...if you choose to make one, it will take time! This is not a "quicky" project. Now if you make something like a placemat or coaster the project won't take long, but if you want a nice basket that you would use for yourself or give to a friend, I do recommend taking your time and enjoy the process (though it's a bit tedious) because in the end, the results will be something that you will be really pleased with!
Best of luck to all who decide to try this! blessings, Karen
Fabrics chosen for basket.
After washing and pressing the fabric I cut 1/2 inch wide strips
You can see here that I cut about 5-6 strips of each color. (I cut more for the base color)I wasn't sure how much I would use but I did end up using most of the strips. I have then laid out in the order that I thought they would look good in the basket.
This is the clothesline that I purchased from WalMart. At my store it was 2.88 per package. This basket and handles...required about a package and a half. The author recommended a cotton clothesline but I could not find it in the stores in my area. This was soft enough for my machine and firm enough to give the basket some strength.
I trimmed the end of the clothesline and put it about 1/4 inch from the end of the strip of fabric. I'm using a fabric glue to secure it but the author used a glue stick.
Added a dab of glue and folded the end over
Added another dot of glue and folded the end over again to secure the end of the clothesline well.
Now to start the process of wrapping the line with the strip at an angle. Wrap at an angle so that each wrap covers the edge of the previous fabric. Keep wrapping in the same direction throughout the course of your project.
Wrap the clothesline for about 8 inches then stop momentarily to sew a straight stitch down the center of the clothesline for about 5 inches to secure everything well. This will be what you use to make the coil for the center of the basket.
This is the clothesline after it has been wrapped with one strip of fabric.
This the the center of the basket. Starting with the end of the wrapped line, coil it tightly until it's about 2 inches in diameter. You may have to pin or baste it to keep it tight. Then sew (with a straight stitch) an x across the coils to secure it tightly. Keep the tail of the coil to the right of the needle. Once, you've sewn the x then you will change your settings to a zig zag stitch. The ideal zig zag stitch is about 1/4 inch wide. Start in the center and work your way around slowly in a circle. The very start of it is more difficult. Don't worry, as the base grows, it's easier to zig zag around.
Once I decided the size of the base, then it was time to start building up the side. This is done by angling the base in one of 4 positions. The first position creates a gradual transition from the base coil to the sides. This is done by sewing a row with your fingers just under the base...not lifting the base as yet. Angled position 2 creates a sharper transition. Your will lift the base coil (with the base under the presser foot) up about 2 inches or so from the bed of the machine. Angled position 3 creates a basket with slightly angled sides. This is done by lifting the base more...till it touches or nearly touches the vertical side of the machine.
See the tape on the base? This marks the spot where I will change fabrics so it's all done on one side of the basket.

Turns out Miley Cyrus is just like most women — she doesn't really want you to stare at her body, she wants you to gaze deeply into her eyes.
Of course, she'd have you do this while she's riding naked, save for boots, on a swinging wrecking ball.
Talking to New York's Z100 radio station Wednesday — she was calling in from London, where she's doing a photo shoot — Cyrus said that even though her video for "Wrecking Ball" was smashing records on YouTube, people were looking at it the wrong way. Turns out it's not really sexy, it's sad. Like the song.
"If people get past the point that I'm naked and you actually look at me, you can tell that I actually look more broken than even the song sounds," said the singer, who in the video makes it awfully hard to get past the point that she's naked.
"If people can take their minds off the obvious and go into their imagination a little bit and see what the video really means and the way that it is so vulnerable. ...," she continued. "If you look at my eyes, I look more sad than actually my voice sounds on the record. It was a lot harder to actually do the video than it was to even record the song. It was much more of an emotional experience."
So, emotion, eyes, imagination, vulnerability. Turns out Miley's just a normal girl after all. Once you subtract the foam finger.
"Kind of anything that I do at this point it becomes such this big deal and for me, I'm just having fun, and whatever people label it as, it doesn't really matter, I'm just having fun."
If only the world would use its imagination.

I would like anyone who is planning on submitting an R21 grant application this February or March to take a look at the NIH Data Book page entitled Research and training grants: Success rates by mechanism and selected activity codes. Anyone who is telling you to apply for an R21 because it is a "starter grant" or that it is "easier" to get than an R01 is in fucken la-la-land! Let me summarize for you the success rates for R21s versus R01s over the last few years:
2006 20% 15%
2007 23% 16%
2008 23% 16%
2009 22% 14%
2010 22% 15%
2011 18% 13%

Spotify, the popular music streaming service, has updated its iPhone and iPad with a brand new interface. Now you can navigate around the app with a new sidebar, always see what you're listening to from the Now Playing bar along the bottom of every screen, and a new Track menu.
This update to Spotify also fixed a few issues including the "track only available online" bug, the lock screen no longer displays the incorrect track, and shuffle now turns off after you've used "Shuffle Play" on an album or playlist.
A basic ad-supported account with Spotify is completely free and an ad-free subscription is $4.99/month. A premium account with Spotify allows you to download and listen to music offline and will run you $9.99/month.

Mayor Don Wesely said today's final approval of the new Lincoln-Lancaster County Comprehensive Plan is an important step forward for the community. In separate meetings, both the Lancaster County Board and the Lincoln City Council unanimously approved the Plan.
"We now have a common vision for the future growth of our community, a plan to ensure that our high quality of life will continue," said Mayor Wesely. "This document is the result of much discussion and hard work, not just by local government entities, but also by many members of the public. Many citizens recognized the importance of the Comprehensive Plan and became involved in the process. I appreciate the dedication of everyone involved."
The Plan also supported the creation of affordable, quality housing in all areas of the community and the addition of about 10 to12 square miles in the Stevens Creek Basin to the city's 25-year growth plan.
"The key to adding land in the Comprehensive Plan for development is infrastructure financing -- adopting impact fees to help pay for the new sewers, streets and utilities," said Wesely. "Maintaining services in existing neighborhoods is a priority. Establishing a solid infrastructure financing system will allow us to do that by having growth pay its fair share."
The development of the new Comprehensive Plan officially began with community workshops in January 2001, although several projects had been undertaken earlier to lay some groundwork. They included a community attitude survey, the Infrastructure Financing Study, the Stevens Creek Basin Initiative. The Mayor had also appointed a citizen-based Comprehensive Plan Committee in August 2000.
The Lincoln-Lancaster County Planning Commission unanimously approved the Plan April 3. The unanimous votes by the County Board and City Council were preceded by joint public hearings on the Plan May 8 and 22.

I was smitten with these pink elevator doors. Why would you paint them shocking pink? Do they provide entry into a magical kingdom or Wonkaville? Who knows, I never pressed the button.

Video: Cowboys/Eagles Game Coaches' Reactions
Excuse me, can someone tell Wade Phillips we won the game?
Seriously, we can't complain about Wade Phillips right now, but his press conferences really make you miss some of the other more emotional coaches interviews.
With a record of 28-12, I'm thinking maybe he's just camera shy because he's certainly doing things right lately.
Great win Coach!
Seems like Andy Reid wants to blame the loss on losing the challenge he never should have made.
