When we arrived I was cranky, and paying four dollars for a simple cup of iced coffee in the hotel made me even crankier. Between that and the fact that this hotel is named after a man I don't particularly like, I wasn't sure I was going to like it at all. But all was forgiven and forgotten an hour later, as I watched the blue dusk rise over the infinity pool on the 13th floor. The rooms were equally spectacular – every room has at least a partial ocean view, and the design is beautiful and European. We talked for a while with the concierge, whose enthusiasm for the hotel and for his job was infectious. You pay for the luxury here, but it's worth it.Recommended for:Business TravelersFamily TravelersLuxury TravelersNightlife Lovers

Everywhere you go in Panama City the locals talk about the Ocean Club, they pronounce it the "Troomp". I don't know what kind of marketing the Donald did when this placed opened but you can't buy that kind of buzz. Be warned if visiting the Ocean Club, the front desk is on something like the 13th floor, I think its designed that way to make interaction with some of the shops on the first floor inevitable. Once we got to the concierge the magic began. We were taken on a tour of a couple of rooms by a delightful young man with a passion for his work. Plainly put the rooms are awesome. I don't think I've ever seen a bath tub in the living room but it is supposedly European. The marble tile throughout the room was imported from Italy and due to it's unique design, every room at the Ocean Club has at least a partial view of the ocean. But what really makes this place a five star project is the infinity pool, one of those designs that through planning creates the illusion that the pool continues on indefinitely to the ocean. Talk about relaxing. There are several restaurants, lounges, business center, gym and everything is situated in such a way that this place does not feel like a hotel, much more like an opulent community. I highly recommend trying this one out.

We wanted a nice evening out in Panama and the Trump Ocean Club fit the bill. It opened at the end of 2011 and is still spakin' new. We went to the tapas restaurant on the 13th floor and had a view of the city. The tapas were yummy, the wine was exceptional and I don't think I've experienced such friendly waitstaff. Seriously, they were so attentive and polite I almost wanted to tell them to cut it out. Worth the trip.

Sesame Fried Chicken Recipe
I came up with this recipe one day as an alternative to traditional fried chicken. Everyone in my family raves about the sesame seed coating and special gravy.
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted
- 1-1/2 teaspoons rubbed sage
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves or 12 boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 1/2 cup milk
- Oil for deep-fat frying
- 2 cup chicken broth
- Salt and pepper to taste
- In a shallow bowl or large resealable plastic bag, combine the flour, sesame seeds, sage, thyme and paprika. Set aside 1/4 cup. Dip chicken in milk, then dredge or shake in remaining flour mixture.
- Heat 1/2 in. of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry chicken on both sides until golden brown and juices run clear, about 8 minutes. Remove chicken and keep warm.
- Drain oil, leaving drippings in pan. Stir in reserved flour mixture until bubbly; add chicken broth. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir 1 minute more. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with chicken. Yield: 6 servings.
Variation: Cut chicken into strips before coating with flour mixture and use the gravy as a dipping sauce.

The only reason i didn't give this a 5, was the flour mixture needed a bit of salt. The aroma of it cooking was fantastic...everyone ran to the table when I announced it was done. It took a LOT longer to fry since I used bone-in thighs, but it tasted great.
It got everyone's vote for a do-over...and my son said "MMMMMMmmm" upon first bite. =)

What: San Francisco Giants at Detroit Tigers, World Series Game 4
When: Sunday, October 28, 2012, 8:00 p.m. ET on Fox-TV
Probable pitchers: Matt Cain vs. Max Scherzer
It's win or go home for the Detroit Tigers, while the San Francisco Giants are on the cusp of their second World Series championship in the last three seasons.
The Giants have dominated the series so far with outstanding pitching, and now they have the pitcher who was their best during the regular season on the mound for Game 4. Cain threw 5⅔ innings of shutout ball against the Cardinals in Game 7 of the NLCS as the Giants made the World Series by blanking St. Louis 9-0.
Tigers scheduled starter Max Scherzer was nearly as good in his ALCS Game 4 start against the Yankees, allowing just one run in 5⅔ innings in that series-clinching game. The Detroit sweep means Scherzer hasn't pitched in nine days, while Cain is going on what would be considered regular rest (four days).
Joe Buck and Tim McCarver, as usual, have the call on Fox. The first pitch is set for about 8:15 p.m. ET, a bit later than the first three games.

If given the choice, would you want butter or margarine? Sugar or artificial sweetener? Vinyl or digital music?
The answer to all, of course, is, yes. Give me the real thing. And for obvious reasons.
Butter doesn't have the trans fatty acids that cause heart attacks.
Sugar is not made with all the controversial fake stuff that defines "artificial."
And vinyl just sounds better.
We are in a societal shift where old is new — and not because it's trendy or retro, but because there is value in the original source files.
For the first time in modern history, we are a significant transgenerational culture. From music to food, teens to octogenarians, it's not about the decade you grew up in but the quality and staying power of the experience.
In other words, Pandora doesn't have an algorithm for a unique life.
"The kids today like our music," said Jim Otto, owner of the landmark Laguna Beach record store, Sound Spectrum. "Our music now is ultra-cool, even more cool than we thought it was at the time."
And by "our music" Otto is not only referring to the classic '60s or '70s rock, but to the crossover music that appeals to independent audiences looking for originality.
Otto gave the example of the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967 and highlighted the comparisons to today's Coachella. The three-day Monterey festival was the first of its kind and established the blueprint for subsequent festivals.
Among many other artists, the Monterey lineup included Jimi Hendrix, Otis Redding and Ravi Shankar (rock, soul and Eastern). An astounding 45 years later, Coachella fits this same model, attracting everything from hard rock to reggae to dubstep.
The reason this diverse approach works is simple: People want a legendary experience.
"Music hits on a subdermal level," said Otto, who firmly believes in the transformational power of hands-on music.
"With digital, people don't have anything to hold. It's all bits and an overload of information," he said. "Plus, with records people can listen to songs in the order that they were intended."
Last Saturday was Record Store Day, the international event that is like Christmas in April for record stores.
For fun, Otto sometimes plays music in the store that he believes will resonate with certain customers, based solely on their appearance or window-shopping habits.
He will watch with amusement as they start to move and bob, then walk up to the counter asking, "Who is this?"
"At record stores like Sound Spectrum, someone behind the counter cares about what they're selling you," he said.
If customers like Tom Waits, chances are they will appreciate Leonard Cohen, Louis Armstrong or Beck.

CVPH on Niagara Health watch list
PLATTSBURGH — CVPH Medical Center has been placed on a "watch list" after receiving below-average grades in some patient-care categories.
Officials at the hospital say they were aware long ago of the issues of concern named in a recently released Niagara Health Quality Coalition report. And they say they have taken steps to correct the less-than-favorable areas.
The coalition released its 10th-annual New York State Hospital Report Card earlier this summer, focusing on such issues as mortality, error and surgical-infection rates; pain management; and overall patient satisfaction.
CVPH scored average in most areas when compared to other hospitals across the state.
"Average is at the standard of care," Bruce Boissonnault, chief executive officer for Niagara, said, "which in New York state is pretty good."
Both Alice Hyde Medical Center in Malone and Adirondack Medical Center in Saranac Lake scored average on almost all areas measured.
"When we receive data of this type (as published in the Report Card), there are no big surprises for us," said Wouter Rietsema, vice president and chief quality and information officer at CVPH.
"We already know about these areas where we've had a problem, and we've already taken steps to address those problems.
"This data is old," he said of the 2011 statistics used in compiling this year's Report Card. "If we relied on this data (for correcting problems), we'd be way behind the eight ball."
For instance, one area where the hospital received a below-average grade was in the death rate for patients following a stroke.
The North Country did not have a full-time neurologist until Dr. Boris Chulpayev came on board earlier this summer, Rietsema explained, but CVPH had taken steps to address the mortality rate by initiating a telemedicine program in the Emergency Department to effectively connect neurologists with stroke patients.
Statistics used for the 2013 Report Card were obtained through billing records that hospitals are required to submit to the state.
Those records include detailed information on the patient's care while in the hospital, including complications that may have arisen and whether they lived or died.
"For anybody to look at this type of report and make a decision on whether they want to go to a certain hospital for care, you have to remember that this data is old and has in many cases been fixed (by the facility in question)," Rietsema said.
"We have our own ways of looking at data," he added. "We're continually looking at infection rates, mortality rates. Wherever we see trends, whenever numbers are going up or look too high, we are always looking for ways to improve.
"Quality is a day-to-day, ongoing process."
Other areas under the headings of mortality and patient-safety indicators where the hospital failed to earn the blue stars that indicate average care are: pneumonia mortality, collapsed lungs and post-operative hemorrhage or hematoma.
The report shows the hospital had somewhere between one and four instances that year of a foreign body left in after surgery and also had between one and four deaths in low-mortality, diagnosis-related groups. Boissonnault says that from his organization's perspective no incidences are acceptable in those areas.
In 15 other categories, CVPH rated average, among them abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, hip replacement, congestive heart failure, heart attack and post-operative sepsis.
Boissonnault said the report is not meant to single out specific hospitals that received less-than-acceptable grades, but the measurements used can help consumers — and the media — focus on areas where each hospital needs improvement.
"I like to think that when a hospital does poorly on a measure, it's meant as a wakeup call that something is structurally wrong," he said from his western New York office.
"Perhaps, it means the hospital needs more help in terms of financial support."
The report uses risk-adjusted statistics from every patient in every hospital across the state. Patient records are "de-identified" to protect the privacy of patients.
Niagara identifies a wide range of medical services on its Report Card website, which also lists the "Honor Roll" of top-notch hospitals across the state. However, it does not publish the "watch list" of hospitals on the site, choosing rather to release that information to media outlets.
The 2013 watch list includes 17 hospitals, with CVPH the only facility listed from this region.
"We urge patients and their families to do their homework in selecting a hospital and to discuss this information with their family physician before an emergency arises," Boissonnault said.
The Niagara report is representative of many health-care analyses available to the public, which Rietsema believes is not a bad thing for hospitals.
"One way to look at public reporting is that it shines a light on how an organization is doing," he said. "Much of it (the public reports) is incomprehensible to the general public, but when an organization knows the information is public, that organization will want to make things better."
Boissonnault agreed, noting that public awareness of medical issues within hospitals will force administrators to address those issues promptly.
The federal government offers hospital reports through its Hospital Care website, based on data hospitals are required to submit in order to receive Medicare reimbursements.
Information on the site is typically between nine and 12 months old, and data must be validated by federal representatives, Rietsema noted.
Statistics from Hospital Care show that CVPH is on average with New York state and national statistics in most areas.

You have $20, seven position groups to fill, and 35 choices to choose from. Whom are you picking for your All Time Chicago Bears roster?
A year after settling the concussion lawsuit that ex-players brought against the NFL, there's a new lawsuit for their lawyers to contend with.
Few Chicago Bears players, past or present, captured the city like Jim McMahon. His iconic run in the 80s was a thing of legend, and his anti-establishment attitude brought him national notoriety....
Last week we asked you which current Chicago Bears player was the most overrated, now we want to know which Bear is the most overrated in the history of the franchise.
Is there one single moment in Chicago Bears history that you would change? My moment takes us all the way back to 1986.
Join us for a trip down memory lane as we harken back to a past Chicago vs. Dallas match up.
Jim McMahon destroyed CFB and its record books in 1980, and finished a measly fifth in Heisman voting.
The Chicago icons, the Superfans, are back on WCG and they have issued a press release about the recent NFL.com Greatest Team Of all Time Poll. Needless to say they aren't happy.
Some good news for a change! One question does come to mind though: will the Superfans be in attendance?
McMahon is fine. It'll take more than a limo crash to take out Jimmy Mac!

In the celebration of Mass we raise our hearts, minds and voices to God, but we are creatures composed of body as well as spirit and so our prayer is not confined to our minds, hearts and voices, but is expressed by our bodies as well. When our bodies participate in our prayer we pray with our whole person, as the embodied spirits God created us to be, and this engagement of our entire being in prayer helps us to pray with greater attention.
During Mass we assume different postures: standing, kneeling, sitting, and we are also invited to make a variety of gestures. These postures and gestures are not merely ceremonial. They have profound meaning and, when done with understanding, can enhance our personal participation in Mass. In fact, these actions are the way in which we engage our bodies in the prayer that is the Mass.

- CharlieVIPDined on 8/31/2014Food and service were both excellent. Restaurant is conveniently located 1/2 mile off of I-83 in Timonium. We have been there many times and will continue to return.Special Features:
- Rude Server4daluvofoodVIPDined on 8/27/2014It was very busy during lunch but our server was busy chatting to co-workers and complaining to us. He didn't listen to our order and brought our oysters and soup at the same time then we had to wait 15 for him to bring our guest his food, which meant our soup got cold. I asked him three times to hold off on the soup. There are so many wonderful restaurants in the area, we will NEVER COME BACK HERE!
- Outdoor areaChipVIPDined on 8/24/2014First time at the new outdoor patio. Very nice but music was great but way too loud. We were there on a hot sunny day and not enough umbrellas. Lauren our server very nice and helpful. Burgers were good. The seafood club was a mess.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food good, service the same...poorTerriP54Dined on 8/24/2014I love Michaels. I have been eating there for years. As much I as I love the food, the service still needs to step it up. 15 mins before anyone asked us if we would like water. Really? The outside dining area is fabulous, love the live music too. Please fix the 'service' part. It really is a problem.Special Features:

- Great lunchWillieRayDined on 8/10/2014Five of us had a great lunch just after the Sunday brunch. 1/2 x 1/2 crab soup was to die for. I have not been a fan of this mix but Michaels is just fab. Their crab cakes and burger also got great raves. A very consistent operation with quite a variety of seating options. Keep up the good workSpecial Features:
- Nothing Special!Tigger62Dined on 8/8/2014Decent food, but pricey! I had the lobster crab cake which didn't taste any different from a regular crab cake. I am not a fan of bottled salad dressings...it would be nice to have at least one or 2 homemade. Didn't order apps. or dessert b/c just too pricey. Nice place to catch up with an old friend...we cold hear each other and didn't have to compete with noise. Like I said nothing special or memorable, but wouldn't not go back. Easily accessible off of I-83Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Wonderful Dining experienceFiddleleafDined on 8/2/2014Michael's Cafe appears to have completed it's remodeling. The NEW Michael's appearance is outstanding with great ambiance. Food was great. Service was friendly, timely, accurate. Wait staff were always available to support (bus boys and kitchen staff) our server. The general manager was quite congenial and had time to ask the status of service and food quality. Busy place but noise was well handled to allow table conversation.Special Features:
- Very good, but ...pikesvilledinerVIPDined on 8/2/2014I took our family to Michael's - this includes 2 teenagers - and our experience was quite good. The only disappointment was the crabcakes, which is perplexing given that Michael's has a reputation for the best crabcakes in the area. That is just not the case. My husband had the prime rib special and he enjoyed it. My daughter had the burger, which was huge ... necessary to make the orders that big? My order of salad and the tuna tataki app were excellent - a good value. We will go back, but not for a while and it won't be to order crabcakes.Special Features:
- Acoustically ChallengedVisitorsDined on 7/30/2014This review is specifically for the patio/bar portion of the restaurant. It's a great place to meet friends/co-workers after work. Not so much to have a dining experience. It's a wide open space with some tables, but it seems to cater to those who wish to stand around drinking and chattering. It's very difficult to have a conversation whilst having dinner. On the other hand, the other rooms of this restaurant are very nice... as long as you are not seated too close to the open room of the patio/bar.Special Features:
- CharlieVIPDined on 7/19/2014Crabcakes were excellent. Soft shell crab also excellent. service was excellent. Very enjoyable experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Some of the old and some newOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 7/17/2014New menu since my last visit to Michael's, with some favorites as well as some new items: lobster/crabcake! Loved an old favorite, the fried green tomato with lump crab appetizer; my crab imperial was great; my companion loved her Michael's scallops, too. The tomato/corn side needs some work--a good concept, but it didn't quite make the grade. Service was friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient.Special Features:
- noisey in new bar areaFoodieVIPDined on 7/17/2014Since there are no "soft goods" (rugs, draperies, etc.) to absorb the noise, the level of noise was terrible, although there were only about 12 people in the room. The dragging of chairs across the bare floor, clatter of plates, and loud conversation made it almost impossible to hear across the table. I won't eat in that room again.Special Features:
- Great Night OutLeighDined on 7/14/2014We went here recently for a birthday dinner. Our server was great - quick with the drinks and very friendly. The food was amazing! We had the charbroiled oysters, lightly fried calamari & a mix of raw oysters to start - all so good! The entrees were just as good or better. I knew they had pretty good food but either we hit them on a really good night, or their pretty good food has risen to the level of greatness. Highly recommend!!Special Features:
- diner4UnmeDined on 7/13/2014Outstanding food and service and a wonderful place for dining on any occasion. If you have friends from out-of-town, they will be thrilled to dine at Michael's. We bring many of our friends here, especially if they have never been here before; and reservations for five or more is a must. Desserts are a must, but appetizers and entree's are so delicious one can easily eat to overflow and miss the great cakes and pies.Special Features:

- Not What we expectedLeensDined on 7/11/2014We decided not to go downtown to a restaurant to celebrate my husband's birthday & made a reservation at Miachel's. It was super busy and by the time the waitress go to us, we told her our drink order, app order and dinner order....next thing we know, the helper brings our app and 30 seconds later the waitress brings our dinner. We were at a tiny table with no room for all of this food. No offer to keep our food under the warmer. We asked if she could pack up the app (it was $13) and didn't want to waste food. I would have expected her to say, there will be no charge for the app, or let me cover your 2 drinks. Not sure if we will be returning to Michael's.
- Best Biggest Soft Crabs in TownTheBiteDined on 7/6/2014For a Sunday Night, the restaurant was surprisingly full. We were seated in the more formal area of the restaurant which is comfortable and quiet. Michaels has my favorite wine Sonoma Cutrer and fills the glass so you really feel like you have more gulps for your investment. The soft crabs were running and my dinner partner and I both ordered the sandwich. It was perfect, the soft crabs had lots of meat inside and the claws extended well outside the bread. They were fried to the ultimate crispness and arrived with fresh toast and summer ripened tomatoes and fresh greens. I wanted to go back the next night for an encore! For those that want a more lively scene, the outdoor dining area had a band and ideal summer breezes.Special Features:
- Impressive first timekateewaldVIPDined on 6/27/2014A real Timonium gem. This was my first time dining, and both the food and service were great (I was at the bar). I took advantage of the buck-a-shuck oysters during happy hour, and ordered the fried green tomatoes with crab meat and a lemon beurre blanc on top, which were pretty darn good too. My old fashioned was a little weak, and although the bartender was very nice and accommodating, there were a few menu questions he couldn't answer, and he didn't tell most of the guests around me that the kitchen had run out of certain dishes (or it wasn't communicated to him). I am definitely going back.Special Features:

- Everyone was happyBigRubeVIPDined on 6/24/2014There were 4 of us and we were all happy with our meals. My husband said his cream of crab soup was delicious and full of large chunks of crab. My mother and I had the shrimp/feta/tomato tower, which looked spectacular and tasted just as good. My husband had the shrimp salad/crab club sandwich, which was good but a little spicy for his taste. My cousin had the shrimp salad sandwich, which she loved. My husband got vanilla ice cream for dessert, which he declared to be one of the best he's had. I had the lemon pie, which was wonderful, clean and fresh, and lemony. We'll be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always GoodBenBVIPDined on 6/21/2014Another lovely dining experience at Michael's. The renovations are spot on, opening up the space and adding light. Service was prompt, knowledgeable and friendly but not overdone. I always get the crab cake, it's my favorite crab cake in the area. My wife had the Salmon and liked it very much. Michaels is in our restaurant rotation and never disappoints.Special Features:

Oh, and great menu too!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Soft Shell CrabsoldfoodloversDined on 6/16/2014If you like seafood, Maryland Style, this is a gem. We have been there twice in the same week. The crab imperial is wonderful...baked, creamy, with chunks of lump crab. The soft shell crabs were done perfectly...lightly seasoned so you taste the crab and lightly fried. Either the sandwich or the platter are a hit.Special Features:

- Kitchen caught on fire.dribbs513Dined on 6/2/2014We never actually were able to eat at Michael's, despite really wanting to. Their kitchen caught on fire, about thirty minutes before our reservation. I guess things happen and you can't really be upset about this, as the restaurant certainly didn't intend for this to happen.
- First visit...DRad66VIPDined on 5/31/2014This was our first visit to Michael's Cafe. Don't know if they were having an off night but we were there on Saturday @7 pm, and they were already out of many entree and dessert items. Unfortunately, each of the first two items we tried to order, we were then told, oh we're out of that. Not sure if it is poor ordering, poor planning or what, but we settled on our entrees order, which were only so-so. On the recommendation of our nice server we ordered the Molten Lava cake. Having experienced this dessert at many, many restaurants over the years, can easily say that this was the most horrible rendition of it I have ever had the misfortune to eat. It was like a dry chocolate muffin and they squirted chocolate fudge into the bottom. Awful!Special Features:

Will go again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Another step in the process toward building the proposed east-west Illiana Expressway through south Lake County westward into Illinois. After extensive public outreach and detailed environmental studies, officials say, IDOT, INDOT and the Federal Highway Administration have completed the first tier of the Illiana Corridor project ..advancing one corridor and a "no-build" alternative into the second tier of the project... which will shift the focus from the original study area to communities, landowners and access needs along the specific corridor... a process that may take an additional year or two to complete. Also beginning in 2013 will be a study of funding options.
The recommended route, called "B3," extends from I-65 between Cedar Lake and Lowell, and runs south of Beecher and Peotone to Interstate-55 near Wilmington, Illinois.
News release:
IDOT and INDOT Recommend B3 Route for the Illiana Corridor
SCHAUMBURG, IL. – After extensive public outreach and detailed environmental studies, the first tier of the Illiana Corridor project has been completed.
The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT), and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) have completed the first tier of the Illiana Corridor project, advancing one corridor and a no-build alternative into the second tier of the project. The recommended corridor, known as "B3," extends from I-55 near Wilmington, Illinois, to I-65 near Cedar Lake, Indiana, and was selected as the preferred alternative during the first tier of the planning process.
This project is the first in the nation to use a combined federal and environmental clearance process using the latest federal highway authorization bill, also known as MAP-21. Both states have accelerated the work to gain this approval to expedite economic development and job creation. This process also enables prompt decision making to inform potentially affected stakeholders more quickly.
"This decision represents an important step forward for the Illiana Corridor, which is a priority for my administration," Illinois Governor Pat Quinn said. "The Illiana will create a new, much needed east-west link at the Crossroads of America, improving travel and commerce across the region. Building this expressway will create thousands of new jobs and pave the way for more long-term economic development in Illinois."
"Roads mean jobs, and the Illiana Expressway will boost economic growth in northwest Indiana and across our state," said Indiana Governor Mike Pence. "We are pleased that Indiana has been able to partner with Illinois to take this significant step forward."
The expressway will reduce the strain of truck traffic on local roads, improving safety, cutting commuting times, reducing congestion, and improving accessibility to jobs. Environmentally, it will help by reducing the number of travel hours and fuel wasted due to cars and trucks caught in congestion. The economic benefits will be far reaching. IDOT and INDOT estimate the project will create or retain more than 9,000 construction jobs immediately, and more than 25,000 long-term jobs.
"This is a significant milestone in the development of the Illiana Corridor," said Illinois Transportation Secretary Ann Schneider. "The selection of Corridor B3 could not have been made without the input from residents, communities, local officials, agencies, and other stakeholders who greatly assisted IDOT and INDOT every step of the way."
The Corridor B3 recommendation reflects comments and input received after the release of the Tier One Draft Environmental Impact Statement on July 13, 2012, and throughout the study. Formal comments also were received in response to the public hearings held for the Tier One Draft Environmental Impact Statement on July 31, 2012, and August 1, 2012.
Public opinion favored Corridor B3 with 90 percent of government/interest group public hearing comments supporting a build alternative in favor of Corridor B3. Of all comments in support of a build alternative, 69 percent favored Corridor B3.
As a result of Tier One studies, IDOT and INDOT have secured federal approval for an approximate 2,000-foot-wide planning corridor. Tier Two studies can now begin to identify a refined alignment and preferred 400-foot right of way for the Illiana project.
Tier Two also will shift the focus from the original broad 952 square-mile study area to the communities, landowners and access needs along the preferred corridor. Some of the engineering work will include interchange locations and layout, drainage studies, and determining overpass or underpass opportunities. During this process stakeholder outreach will again be a top priority with careful consideration of community needs including farm operations, emergency services, school routes and local land use planning. Tier Two may take an additional 12 to 24 months to complete.
Another important component of the Illiana planning process, beginning in 2013, will be a study of funding, financing and implementation options, including the feasibility of Public-Private Partnerships (P3). P3 offers a unique opportunity to bring new investment dollars into the state and deliver much needed new jobs and travel benefits more quickly than conventional methods of project delivery.
Further information regarding the study can be found at www.Illianacorridor.org .
Tier One Final Environmental Impact Statement and Record of Decision
The Illiana Corridor Project Tier One Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and Record of Decision are available for review at the links indicated below and will be available at the following libraries beginning on January 25, 2013.

The public normally has knowledge of the first overall pick in the NFL draft days in advance. This year is much different. With just over 24 hours left until commissioner Roger Goodell announces the Kansas City Chiefs' pick, the selection is still unknown. Mike Florio and the rest of the ProFootballTalk crew discuss their options.This video is no longer available. Click here to watch more NBC Sports videos!
ProFootballTalk: Chiefs keep the No. 1 pick a secret
Five questions: Seattle Seahawks
The defending Super Bowl champions are quickly closing in on the start of their 2014 season Thursday night against the Green Bay Packers.
The Seahawks were able to keep most of their young core in place this offseason and were able to sign Michael Bennett, Earl Thomas, Richard Sherman and Doug Baldwin to contract extensions as well. While they did lose some key contributors off their championship team, an inevitability for any team in the salary cap age, Seattle has kept a roster together every bit as a talented as the one the won the title last year.
There aren't many areas that remain in doubt for the Seahawks as the season gets set to begin. However, we take a look at five questions that could determine if Seattle is able to repeat as champion this season.
1. Could the Seahawks be even better than last season?
If the offense can translate its production from this preseason over to the regular season, they almost certainly will be better.
In 13 offensive drives led by Russell Wilson this preseason, Seattle scored on 11 of them with nine touchdowns, two field goals, a missed field goal and just a single punt. Richard Sherman said Monday that Wilson is being more decisive this season. Head coach Pete Carroll said Wilson has had a near-perfect offseason. With Percy Harvin fully healthy, the Seahawks offense looks much more explosive.
With a defense that looks to still be a force and a special teams unit that is strong as well, if Seattle's offense can take several steps forward they could be tremendously difficult to beat this year.
2. Will Seattle's offensive line hold them back?
The Seahawks offensive line was the one area of the team that underperformed consistently last season. Tackles Russell Okung and Breno Giacomini missed a combined 15 games. Center Max Unger missed three more and the depleted unit struggled mightily in their absence.
This year, Seattle is going to start a rookie at right tackle in second-round pick Justin Britt and Okung is still working into game shape after missing most of the offseason following foot surgery.
On the positive side, left guard James Carpenter has lost a considerable amount of weight and looks more capable of moving adequately this year. Right guard J.R. Sweezy has appeared to take his game up another level as well.
The unit is much more adept at run blocking, which is still going to be the main focus of the team with Marshawn Lynch in the backfield and Percy Harvin potentially being used as a rusher at times as well. If they can adequately provide protection for Russell Wilson in the passing game, the offense should be able to accomplish much more this season.
3. Can the Seahawks get 16 games out of Percy Harvin?
Percy Harvin is noticeably exhausted about answering questions about his health. However, when you miss most of the last two seasons due to injury, it's one of the only things to ask about.
Harvin has missed 22 regular season games over the last two years due to ankle and hip injuries. He's only played all 16 games of an NFL season once in his career in 2011 with the Minnesota Vikings. But it's already evident this preseason that the dynamic athlete that was firmly in the MVP conversation in 2012 is back.
Harvin says he's as healthy now as he's been since even before he got to college at the University of Florida. His presence on the field expands the field both horizontally and vertically for Seattle's offense. The Seahawks are counting on Harvin being a big part of their offense. It's now on Harvin to see if he can put all those questions about his health in the past.
4. Will the Seahawks run defense take a step back?
The Seahawks cut defensive ends Red Bryant and Chris Clemons this offseason for salary cap reasons. However, both players had been important pieces of Seattle's run defense the last few seasons.
In their absence, Seattle has toyed with moving tackle Tony McDaniel to end in rushing situations with Kevin Williams replacing McDaniel along the line. There are also some new young cogs in their defensive line rotation as well that will be called upon for increased roles.
The Seahawks allowed Tampa Bay and St. Louis to rush for 200 yards against them in consecutive weeks last season before making an adjustment and getting the run defense righted. With key pieces such as Bryant and Clemons gone, it remains to be seen if they can find similar performance up front against opposing rushing games.
5. How does Seattle handle being the team on top?
It's a position the franchise has never been in before. Several key players got big paydays this offseason as well.
But Russell Wilson and Earl Thomas swear they will be able to keep the focus in the right direction this season. The two talk about how they are competing on a daily basis to see which one of them is the last player to leave the team's facility each day. Both players obsess over every minute detail they can find on tape in hopes of being completely prepared for games.
That focus trickles down to the rest of the team and the players and coaches are convinced they have turned the page on last season. The only way to truly know now is to play the games.
Steven Jackson "extremely excited" to face Saints
Running back Steven Jackson was a spectator for most of Falcons training camp and all of their preseason games as a result of a hamstring injury, but he was able to get on the practice field as things drew to a close in August.
That put Jackson on track to play against the Saints in the regular season opener and nothing has knocked him off of it in the interim. Jackson said Tuesday that he's ready for his first game action of the year.
"I'm extremely excited for Week 1," Jackson said, via the team's website. "It's been a training camp that I missed the majority of the time, but I've been working hard physically and mentally to prepare for this coming Sunday; I feel good about it."
Jackson missed four games last season and posted a career-low average per carry, something that was at least partially caused by the team's poor offensive line play. The Falcons have worked to upgrade that area over the offseason and they'll get their first chance to show they've turned the page against the New Orleans front seven on Sunday.
Jim Irsay suspended six games, fined $500,000
It's not Friday, and it's not 5 p.m., but the NFL has tied up the one messy piece of business it had to do before games start this week.
The league announced that Colts owner Jim Irsay had been suspended for the team's first six games and fined $500,000 after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor account of driving while impaired.
The suspension begins tomorrow at 5 p.m., and Irsay "may not be present at the club's facility, may not attend any practices or games, may not represent the club at league or league committee meetings or at any other team or league event, and may not conduct media interviews or engage in social media regarding any team or league matters."
The Twitter ban is going to sting, more than the half-million fine, which is the most allowed under the league's constitution and by-laws.
The league also noted that "Mr. Irsay will be subject to ongoing treatment, counseling, and testing as determined by medical professionals and the Indiana court."
Drug testing is a condition of his probation, which he was sentenced to as part of the deal.
"I have stated on numerous occasions that owners, management personnel and coaches must be held to a higher standard than players," Goodell said in his letter to Irsay. "We discussed this during our meeting and you expressed your support for that view, volunteering that owners should be held to the highest standard."
There will be no draft choice forfeiture for the Colts, since his conduct had nothing to do with the competitive balance of the league.
Brian Waters announces his retirement
Brian Waters had a lengthy and impressive career in the NFL. That career is now officially over.
"After a long and wonderful career I have decided to retire," Waters said in a statement. "I want to thank the coaches, players and fans of the three great organizations that I had the pleasure of working for. First the Dallas Cowboys for giving me my first and last chance of working in the NFL. I will always be grateful. Also the New England Patriots for the most successful season in my career. It was a great ride. Lastly the Kansas City Chiefs where I had pleasure of enjoying eleven wonderful seasons, which I will never forget.
"I want to thank the many family, friends and my hometown of Waxahachie, Texas for being great supporters. Finally I want to thank my kids for being my greatest motivations. I fought hard daily to make you proud me. If the rest of my life can be half as good as the last 15 years, I will be one of the luckiest people on earth."
Waters spent 11 seasons with the Chiefs, one with the Patriots, and a final year with the Cowboys. In 2012, Waters didn't play.
A six-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro, Waters was the 2009 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year. In time, he could gather momentum as a potential candidate for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Arian Foster feeling "wonderful" heading into Week One
Texans running back Arian Foster must not have gotten too many "mundane questions" during his session with the Houston media on Tuesday because he was more expansive than he was during preseason press availabilities.
Foster said he was happy to see defensive end J.J. Watt get rewarded for being a "hard-working cat" and said that he has something to prove to himself after last season's back surgery. Foster, who didn't play in preseason games after injuring his hamstring early in camp, says he feels "wonderful" physically even though he acknowledges that it's unclear how the missed time this summer will affect him in the regular season.
"I feel like it could go both ways. If you're a veteran player who understands how the game is played, it can work to your advantage. It can work to your advantage taking hits off in the preseason," Foster said, via the Houston Chronicle. "On the flip side, it gets you used to the load you're going to carry in the season. You just have to play the cards you're dealt."
Foster was averaging 4.5 yards a pop before he got hurt last season, right in line with his career average and should still be productive as long as he's healthy enough to be in the lineup. That's hardly a sure thing, but the Texans offense is counting on it all the same.
Kevin Vickerson finds a home in Cincinnati
Kevin Vickerson appears to have found a home.
The veteran defensive tackle, who was cut by the Broncos Saturday, has apparently joined the Bengals, per a message he posted to his Instagram account.
The 31-year-old Vickerson lost his job with the Broncos to Marvin Austin, but he started 11 games for them last year.
Frankly, he was one of the most accomplished players released this weekend, which says as much about the waiver wire as it does Vickerson.
In Cincinnati, he'll back up Geno Atkins and Domata Peko, adding depth to an already good defensive line.
Charlie Powell, NFL player and heavyweight contender, dies at 82
Charlie Powell, who signed with the 49ers when he was 19 and played seven seasons in the NFL between stints as a pro baseball player and a heavyweight prizefighter, has died at the age of 82.
U-T San Diego reports that Powell died on Monday and had been suffering from dementia for years.
Powell's list of athletic accomplishments reads like it must be fiction: He was such a good multi-sport athlete in high school that he had contract offers to play baseball with the St. Louis Browns and basketball with the Harlem Globetrotters, he had football scholarship offers from Notre Dame and UCLA, and he was a champion in both the 100-yard dash and the shot put. At first he went the baseball route, but after becoming bored in the minors, he decided to become the NFL's youngest player.
"I didn't like baseball as much as I thought I would," said Powell. "But because I was already a professional, I could sign with an NFL team without going to college."
That turned out to be a wise move. Powell was so ferocious a pass rusher for the 49ers that he was once, before sacks were officially counted in the NFL, credited with sacking Hall of Fame Lions quarterback Bobby Layne so many times in one game that Powell alone backed the Lions up a total of 67 yards. Powell would play five seasons for the 49ers and two more for the Raiders.
But football wasn't even Powell's best sport. That would be boxing. Early in his NFL career Powell boxed in the offseason, and after he retired from football he focused on fighting exclusively, rising to the point where he was once ranked as the No. 4 heavyweight in the world. His notable opponents included the unbeaten Cassius Clay in 1963 and the former champion Floyd Patterson in 1964.
In a 1998 column, Jim Murray wrote that Powell compared favorably to the greatest all-around athletes in American history, noting that "Jim Thorpe and Jackie Robinson never had to tee it up with heavyweight champions of the world. And Michael Jordan couldn't hit the curveball, either." There was nothing in sports that Charlie Powell couldn't do.
Tom Brady: "When I suck, I'll retire"
Last week's abrupt trade of Patriots guard Logan Mankins served as a reminder that there are few, if any, sacred cows in New England.
When it comes to quarterback Tom Brady, there's a chance the team will want to move on from Brady before Brady wants to move on from the team. Brady made that crystal clear during his weekly appearance on WEEI in Boston.
"There's nowhere I'd rather play, I know that," Brady said, via CSNNE.com. "I love playing for this team and I love representing this team. Hopefully I can do that for as long as I can. When I suck, I'll retire. I don't plan on sucking for a long time. Hopefully that leads me to be in here, and there's no place I'd rather be. I love this game and I love working hard at it.
"I've had a lot of people over the years tell me the things I couldn't do, and I think that's always been great motivation for me to go out there and accomplish things that I think I can do. Hopefully it's to continue to play at a high level for a really long period of time."
If/when the people who think he can't play at a high level are named "Belichick" or "Kraft," then Brady will have to prove those people wrong by playing for another team. To do that, Brady would have to be willing to embrace, or at least to tolerate, the media crush that will happen if/when Brady were to sign with another team.
Some who know Brady think he'd be tempted to retire in lieu of playing for another team. His comments from Tuesday suggest otherwise.
"I like working hard at it," Brady said. "I'm going to try to be the best I can be for as long as I can do that. Hopefully the team values that. If they don't, then I'll probably have a tough day at some point. That's what football's all about."
Which means that, if/when the Patriots decide to move on from Brady, Brady will be inclined to move on to another team. The destination will depend on who needs a quarterback at the time — up to and including the 49ers, the team Brady cheered for as a boy and the team that "evaluated" Peyton Manning despite having Alex Smith and Colin Kaepernick under contract.
Bill Belichick: No decision on Rob Gronkowski playing this week
It's safe to say that Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski's announcement that he's playing against the Dolphins this week didn't come with the approval of coach Bill Belichick.
For one thing, Belichick feels the same way about sharing information about his football team as certain celebrities feel about having their intimate photos pulled out of the cloud and shared across the globe. For another, Belichick says that no decision has been made about whether or not Gronkowski will be on the field.
"I'm glad that Rob's optimistic about this situation," Belichick said, via CSNNE.com. "We'll go through the week of practice and take a look at everything, everybody, and see where everybody's at and try to do what we feel like is best for the team. With all due respect to Rob — I'm glad he feels the way he does — but, in the end, we'll have to make the decision we feel like is best for the team and we'll do that as we go through the week."
Belichick may be telling the truth or, given the previously mentioned distaste for sharing information, he may know exactly what the Patriots plan to do this Sunday. Either way, the Dolphins aren't likely to get a clear idea of the team's plans until much closer to kickoff so they'll have to be prepared for all eventualities.
More ESPN fantasy owners have Tim Tebow than Chad Henne
Poor Chad Henne gets no respect.
Not only does everyone want to give his job away to rookie Blake Bortles, but fantasy owners prefer a guy who just lives in Jacksonville to the Jaguars starting quarterback.
ESPN just tweeted out word that more people in their fantasy leagues own Tim Tebow (1.3 percent of teams) than Henne (0.8).
Now granted, people do silly things with fantasy teams all the time, for the sake of being able to play the "he was ahead of his time" card with their buddies.
(Full disclosure, in 2002, Steve Spurrier's first year with the Redskins, I drafted Danny Wuerffel, Shane Matthews and Patrick Ramsey to cash in on all those points when Spurrier inevitably shuffled quarterbacks like he did at Florida. Yeah, that was stupid.)
Maybe all those people will look like geniuses when Tebow leaps out of his chair on the broadcast set and leads some team to record rushing numbers.
Or maybe, somebody should have kept their buddies from turning too much water into too much wine during the draft.
Antonio Brown will return punts again this year
Antonio Brown plays a big role in the Steelers offense, but that won't be his only role in the coming season.
Coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that the team will use Brown as a punt returner this season as well. There was some thought that the addition of the speedy Dri Archer in the draft would lead to a change in roles for Brown, but Tomlin said that Archer will only be an option for the team alongside Brown.
That announcement naturally leads to thoughts about the injury risk that Brown will take on by expanding his portfolio, but Tomlin said that the team won't live in fear of injury when it comes to deploying a player they believe can help them.
"He is a Pro Bowl caliber return man, so that's how you play him," Tomlin said of Brown, via the team.
There's no question that Brown has skills with two career punt return touchdowns and a 12.8-yard average on returns last season. He's also a Pro Bowl caliber receiver, though, and losing that would likely hurt the Steelers much more than going with Archer or others as the full-time punt return options.
Jim Harbaugh says he won't keep a player guilty of domestic violence
When 49ers Ray McDonald was arrested for felony domestic violence this weekend, he became the first test case for the league's new, tougher policy on the matter.
But he'll also test his own coach's long-held attitude toward players who put their hands on women.
During his regular appearance on KNBR this morning, Harbaugh made it clear he would not tolerate behavior such that McDonald has been accused of.
"I'll be very clear," Harbaugh said, via Matt Maiocco of CSNBayArea.com. "You ask me how I feel about domestic violence. I can be very clear about that. If someone physically abuses a woman and/or physically or mentally abuses or hurts a child then there's no understanding, there's no tolerance for that."
Asked if he would not allow a player convicted of such charges to remain on his team, he replied: "Yes, we would not. We can be very clear."
McDonald is continuing to practice with the 49ers, and has maintained his innocence. The 49ers have said they'll continue to investigate, and Harbaugh said he was also convinced he needed to let the legal process play out.
"There are going to be two principles at play here," Harbaugh said "And one is, I'll speak for myself, I'll speak for the 49ers: We'll not tolerate domestic violence. The second principle, we're firm believers in due process. And I ask for your understanding on those two principles."
Those are not mutually exclusive principles. But it does put Harbaugh in stark contrast to his brother John, who has wrapped his arms around running back Ray Rice, whose shamefully light punishment triggered the increased punishment McDonald could face.
Jim Irsay sentenced to probation, drug testing in plea deal
Colts owner Jim Irsay pleaded guilty to operating a vehicle under the influence on Tuesday, bring an end to the legal case stemming from his arrest in March.
Irsay faced two misdemeanor charges as a result of the arrest, but the second one was dropped as part of a plea deal that left Irsay sentenced to a year of probation. Mike Wells of ESPN.com reports that Irsay, who was found to be under the influence of oxycodone and hydrocodone, will undergo drug testing as a condition of his probation and that his driver's license has been suspended for one year.
With the legal case now concluded, the question is whether the NFL will also be issuing a suspension as a result of Irsay's malfeasance. Adam Schefter of ESPN has reported that a six-to-eight-game suspension is expected with a good chance that the league will act quickly to enact the suspension before the Colts open the season against the Broncos on Sunday night.
Irsay had no comment before leaving the Hamilton County courthouse.
Devon Still has bigger concerns than being on the practice squad
On the surface, the Bengals cutting defensive tackle Devon Still and putting him on the practice squad might appear to be a case of a team trying to salvage an underperforming draft pick.
But there's far more to Still's story, and the Bengals' willingness to stand by him.
According to Paul Dehner of the Cincinnati Enquirer, Still's 4-year-old daughter Leah is battling cancer, and Still admitted he can't give a game his undivided attention.
"I completely understand where they were coming from," Still said. "I can't give football 100 percent right now. In the business aspect they want guys to solely focus on football, which is understandable. We are here to win this city a Super Bowl and right now I am not in a position where I can give football 100 percent of everything I have."
In a sense, the practice squad is the perfect opportunity for the team to help Still, since he'll continue to make more than $100,000 if he stays there all year, and he'll maintain his health insurance at a critical time. But he won't travel on road trips, so he'll have the opportunity to spend more time in Philadelphia with his daughter as she begins a fourth round of chemotherapy.
Their loyalty in a profession not known for it is not lost on Still.
"They could have just washed their hands completely of it," he said. "Say we don't care what's going on in his personal life, we just want people who can care 100 percent on football, that's what they pay us to do. But they thought about my personal issues and allowed me to come back on the practice squad so I still have insurance. They said if I keep working on my physical with my injury and mentally prepared myself to focus on football, then they can move me back up to the roster, so I am not all the way out of the loop. . . .
"The Bengals were loyal to me. I'm not about to up and leave them. Loyalty is something I really need right now because I never know what direction this is going to go with my daughter."
The Bengals deserve credit for allowing Still the opportunity to deal with a personal crisis, and he hopes to repay them down the line, by playing the kind of football they imagined when they chose him in the second round of the 2012 NFL Draft.
Kurt Coleman signs with Chiefs
Kurt Coleman and Andy Reid are back together again.
Coleman's agent Blake Baratz announced on Twitter that the safety has signed a contract with the Chiefs for the 2014 season. Coleman was released by the Vikings as Minnesota got down to 53 players over the weekend, but spent the first four years of his career in Philadelphia and played for Reid in three of those seasons.
Coleman made 29 starts while Reid was the Eagles coach, but is ticketed for a backup role in Kansas City. Eric Berry and Husain Abdullah are going to start, but the team was short on experienced depth and Berry's been bothered by a heel issue throughout the summer.
Kelcie McCray and undrafted rookie Daniel Sorensen are the other safeties currently on the Chiefs roster, although the corresponding roster move to bring Coleman on board could change that. The Chiefs also have five running backs at present, so the move may come from another area.

Obesity, body weight and cancer
It's thought that more than one in 20 cancers in the UK are linked to being overweight or obese.
Research has shown that many types of cancer are more common in people who are overweight or obese, including:
- breast cancer, in women after the menopause
- bowel cancer
- womb cancer
- oesophageal (food pipe) cancer
- pancreatic cancer
- kidney cancer
- gallbladder cancer
This list includes two of the most common types of cancer, and three of the hardest to treat.
The fat tissues in overweight people produce more hormones and growth factors than those in people of a healthy weight. High levels of some of these hormones, including oestrogen and insulin, can increase the risk of certain cancers.
As a nation, we're getting fatter
Most adults in England weigh more than is healthy:
• Nearly two thirds of men (65%) and more than half of women (58%) are either overweight or obese
• A quarter (25%) of adults are obese
And these figures are similar in the other UK nations too.
The number of overweight and obese people in the UK is increasing. A study published in the Lancet in 2011 showed that if current trends continue, by 2030 around 4 in 10 people in the UK will be obese.
Small changes can have big effects
Most people gain weight throughout their lives, often without realising it. Very small changes can result in large weight gains over time. For example by simply eating an excess of 50 calories per day - just half a biscuit - you could gain 5½ pounds or 2½ kg over a year. So in 5 years time you could be over 2 stone or 12½ kg heavier.
The good news is that small changes to your lifestyle can lead to a reduction in body weight. This may sound simple, but in reality it takes commitment and effort to change the habits of a lifetime. The day-to-day choices we make about our lifestyle have the greatest effect on our weight.
Jeff, a lorry driver from Portsmouth, lost 5 and a half stone by being creative about eating healthily and keeping active while out on the road.
Feeling inspired? Read on for more tips and information about keeping a healthy weight.
Losing weight and keeping it off!
The best way to lose weight is to eat healthily, eat smaller amounts and become more active. This will help you to take in less energy (calories) from food and increase the amount of energy you burn off by being more physically active.
Your first goal should be to stop putting more weight on, and then to start losing some weight. Your long-term goal will be to keep off any weight you have lost. In this section, you can read about how to avoid hidden calories and cut down on large portion sizes. Our Ten Top Tips, healthy eating and physical activity sections also have more advice that can help you reach and maintain a healthy weight. Or you could ask your GP practice or a local support group for help and information.
Ten Top Tips
Cancer Research UK and Weight Concern have joined forces to develop Ten Top Tips for a healthy weight. These tips have been designed to fit into your daily life and are based on the best scientific evidence. Find out about the tips and ways of sticking to them in our Ten Top Tips section.
What is a healthy weight?
You can find out whether your weight is within the healthy range by calculating your body mass index or BMI. Check your BMI using our BMI chart.
For many people, it's just not realistic to aim for a so-called 'ideal weight' for your height. Instead of focusing on a target weight, it may be more helpful to work on changing your lifestyle, which can help you reach a healthier weight.

Phoenix Suns center Marcin Gortat upset with role on team
The 28-year-old is coming off a year in which he averaged personal bests in points, rebounds and blocked shots per game, and many thought it may have been the tip of the iceberg with regards to how well he could play.
But Gortat has seen his numbers decrease this season, and the "Polish Machine" is not happy about it.
According to an interview with http://nba.przegladsportowy.pl, one that has been loosely-translated via Google Translate, the third-year Sun has had enough.
When asked about how much things have changed for the Suns this season, Gortat said:
"I am able to help the team and regularly earn more than 10 points and have more than 10 rebounds, but the ball still sticks in the attack to one person, it's hard to find a good rhythm on the offensive."
Gortat talked about how things are different without Steve Nash around, saying there are fewer pick and rolls that result in the center scoring points.
"Unfortunately, two of my strongest variants, the pick-and-roll and stock one-on-one with his back to the basket, has been taken from me. It is not easy. We now have lots of new licks that do not always come true, and at the same time I do not even take into account. In addition, on the dance floor do not understand so well with playmaker Goran Dragic as Steve. These are the things we need to work on."
Like we said, "loosely-translated", as nobody thinks Gortat's issues with the Dragic-led offense have anything to do with how the Slovenian point guard dances.
However, it seems as though Gortat, who is averaging 11 points, 9.8 rebounds and 3.0 blocks per game, believes he can do more. The center is taking two fewer shots per contest than he did last season, though to be fair he's also shooting a lower percentage.
That hasn't stopped him from believing he not only can do more, but should. And that he isn't a greater part of the offense is a sign that Suns coach Alvin Gentry may not be adapting his offense to suit the personnel.
"All my life I dealt with the hard work and now I have to go back. I will fight for her. I will try to prove to the coach that I can also play an important role in the attack. In coach Gentry's probably not an option I'm not offensive. It does not take me into consideration at all. The situation is critical. We play the same as a year ago, and the truth is that we are completely different players. Not quite what I think works."
Then again, Gentry was not the only one Gortat called out. No, Gortat talked about the Suns' offense and how there is not as much passing as in the past.
"We do not share the ball like we did in previous seasons. The ball does not circulate around the perimeter - usually ends in the administration of one or two people. In this way, you can not play and win. Basketball is a team game."
Despite all that, Gortat said he believes the Suns can still be a playoff team. He admitted to being less optimistic than he was one the season began, but said it would be wrong to give up on them just yet.
The site also reports that Gortat rejected a contract extension with the Suns, and that a handful of teams -- including the Dallas Mavericks, Chicago Bulls, Boston Celtics and Orlando Magic are interested in trading for him.

Arrival of IFN-Free Therapies Will Bring Patients For Whom Current Therapies are Ineffective Back to the Drug-Treated Population, According to Findings from Decision Resources Group
BURLINGTON, Mass., June 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Decision Resources Group finds that China's market for hepatitis C virus (HCV) drugs will be driven by an increase in its drug-treated population, following the introduction of novel HCV therapies. Nearly a third of patients diagnosed with HCV do not receive the current standard of treatment-the combination of pegylated-interferon-alpha (peg-IFN-alpha) and ribavirin-because they have not responded to this regimen in the past. The arrival of IFN-free regimens will bring patients who have not responded to currently available drugs back into treatment, thereby significantly increasing the drug-treated population.
Other key findings from the Special Report Patient Flow in Hepatitis C Virus: Changing Treatment Dynamics in China include:
