(Reuters) - Dave Bolland and Johnny Oduya scored third period goals as the Chicago Blackhawks rallied to tie the Boston Bruins 3-3 and send Game One of the Stanley Cup Final into overtime on Wednesday.
Leading 2-1 on two Milan Lucic goals, Boston struck first again in the third on a Patrice Bergeron powerplay to restore a two-goal cushion.
But the desperate Blackhawks refused to fold, Bolland cut Boston's advantage to one before Johnny Oduya's blast ricocheted from the skate of Bruins defenseman Andrew Ference past Tuukka Rask to level the game at 3-3.
Rookie Brandon Saad scored Chicago's other goal, his first of the playoffs, early in the second period.

STOCKHOLM (Sinclair Broadcast Group) - Political correctness is nothing new.
But for some in Sweden, speaking out about certain policies can come with consequences.
Inside Your World spoke with dozens of people on the streets of Stockholm and Malmö.
The country saw a rise in asylum seekers in both 2014 and 2015 - during the height of the refugee crisis in Europe.
244,178 people applied to live in Sweden during those two years, most of whom hailed from Muslim-majority countries according to data released by the Swedish Migration Agency.
Little over half were accepted by the government to call Sweden their new home.
Malmö, a city in the southern region, is connected to Copenhagen, Denmark by the Øresund Bridge.
The bridge, nearly 5 miles long, was used by many seeking refuge to enter into Sweden.
But by 2016, the country restricted it's borders.
Leading up to that year, stats provided by the government show a rise in violent crime.
But try to talk about those numbers, and some Swedes clam up.
"I would like to say, but would rather not." - woman paying respects at the Vårby gård metro station in Stockholm, where a man died after picking up an explosive device on a Sunday afternoon.
"I don't want to talk about it... people have personal issue[s] about that." - woman living in Stockholm
"Yes, they're afraid to lose their job. I can lose my job. But I am not so afraid." - woman living in Malmö
The idea of being politically correct makes it hard for some to express how they feel about the refugee crisis' effect on the country, and whether the increase in crime has anything to do with it.
But it's not hard for people to talk about the changes they've noticed in the past two years.
"It's gotten tougher," noted Kirsten Smith, who lives in Malmö.
"But it has to do very much with gangs, and people who are not integrated"
Some people Inside Your World spoke with said the problem isn't about immigration, but integration of some newcomers calling Sweden home.
"There's a problem that some people, they don't want to integrate here from the Middle East," said Isabella, who immigrated to the country almost 30 years ago from Romania.
Journalist Niklas Orrenius notes it's a delicate line.
"It depends on how you talk about it."
"I know there have been some, in my view unfair accusations of racism of people – who just want to bring up an important issue//but it depends. I mean if you paint all the Muslims with the same brush, of course I don't like that either," he said.
While the Swedish government took the step to instill border checks after the influx of people into the country, most Swedes we spoke with said they want to continue their culture's rich tradition of welcoming those who need help, and a new home.
"Of course there is some problems, but they're all welcome to Sweden" - man living in Stockholm
"Sweden has a fantastic immigration system to receive the ppl and help them. So I am not touched in any way. I don't see any problem honestly." - woman living in Stockholm
"There's an expression in Swedish, like, the middle way is the best way, and I think I'll stick to that." - Man living in Stockholm
Whether or not that middle way solves the issues that some argue have come with a mass of refugees entering the country remains to be seen.

The other day as I was perusing the small Bible section of my large Christian Books and (Especially) Gifts Store I happened upon a tome that arrested my attention.
It was plain and unadorned. A simple red book with the title and nothing else. I was immediately offended by the cover, because it was politically correct, and didn't say anything anyone should be offended by. And even though it was November 8th a mere 46 days until Christmas, there was no hint of green, no holly, no nativity scene. Nothing like anything else in the store.
If you are a good Christian like me, You know that between All Saints Day and Epiphany, everything in the world has to be red and green and make explicit reference to Christmas by name. It does not matter if it is at church, or in government or at the tire shop, if anyone does not say "Merry Christmas" to you it is persecution. It says so in the Bible.
But it doesn't say so in THIS Bible.
I bought it. And I immediately took it home and read it cover to cover, because I feared that this would be a dangerous book that would hurt the fragile consumerist faith of younger weaker disciples. And I found to my horror that all my fears were confirmed. This abominable politically correct translation of the once-holy-scriptures has scrubbed any reference of the word "Christmas", from it's pages.
And Jesus, who Real Christians like me know, would always greet everyone he met for a third of the year with either "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Birthday Me" does not breathe a word about his birthday, in four gospels full of plain, offensively inoffensive, red text.
This plain red Bible makes no mention of Easter either, or Veteran's Day, or any other Proper Church Holiday but other "Happy Holidays" and feast days are all over this book. Just none of the right ones. That's why I call it the Holiday Bible. It mentions Sabbath, and Passover, The Day of Atonement,. There is a holiday for tents, a holiday for trumpets, a Feminist holiday for a politician I'd never heard of named "Esther" and nothing but a footnote for Christmas among this multicultural postmodern jumble of Hippie Parties.
There are one thousand one hundred and eighty nine chapters in this book (I counted). Only one of them gives any hint of glory to the Lord of all the earth in the way everyone is required to by telling the story of a baby who was born in a manger. It's in Luke 2. And even that chapter leaves out most of the important stuff.
The Red Book I looked at was a NIV "New International Version" but the corruption had somehow spread to every Bible on that little shelf. No "Merry Christmas" could be found on any of them except on the packaging.
I fell down and wept. I looked and looked through tear soaked eyes, but my blessed Christmas was nowhere to be found. No shopping advice, no Christmas trees. Just pages and pages of ways to do justice and give and receive mercy. They even got to Granny! I called her and checked our KJV Family bible from 1611. I could not believe my eyes.
As I drowned my sorrows in a delicious Triple Venti Starbucks™ Gingerbread Latte with extra sprinkles. I realized that my enemies had won. Sure, I had lied to them about my name to get them to say "Merry Christmas" when they gave me the cup, but one person can only lie, and shop, and manipulate so much to get something done.
It looks like whoever is responsible this crazy red book is going to have their way in society after all.
I have made a lot of posts on this blog over the years about transparency, and the importance of integrity and admitting when you are wrong. I need to model that this morning, because I accidently discovered that Ahmed's clock is manufactured.
The story actually begins when I was a geeky 14 year-old interested in electronics. I filled my room with outdated tech and tinkered with it just like Ahmed, I took them apart and put it back together just like Ahmed, and I brought my disassembled electronics to school just like Ahmed.
My interest was less in timepieces and more in robots. BattleBots were in their heyday back then. I would take all the plastic off an RC Car and then zip tie it back together with a slightly modified (inferior) configuration and call the new creation "My Robot" which I brought to school for science fair. I didn't realize at the time that doesn't really count as inventing a robot.
I'm white, and I was never arrested, suspended, or discouraged from any of this in 2001.
Fast forward 15 years I am now less interested in electronica and more interested in making the world a better place. I am in my last year of seminary and heard a story about a nerdy kid I related to being arrested for bringing the circuits he tinkers with to school to tell his teacher. It got under my skin. Posted about the homemade clock on social media #IStandWithAhmed And I took it a step further. I brought a clock to school.
At the time no picture had been released, but a description from the police seemed to indicate that the circuits were exposed, so I took a page out of my High School Handbook and cannibalized the alarm clock in my room to make something I thought would approximate Ahmed's clock. (That's My Clock Above)
The point was to demonstrate that since I am white, Nothing would happen. Nothing did
but I accidently revealed something I did not intend to with my clock. When the photo of Ahmed's clock was revealed, it not not look something like Ahmed's clock, it looked nigh exactly like Ahmed's clock in some crucial ways.
Both of our clocks feature two circuit boards, one connected to the LCD, and one with buttons. Both feature transformers and 9 volt battery sockets which prevent you from having to reset your clock if it is accidently unplugged. Both have mounts fro screws.
None of this stuff would be built into a homemade creation. This is the result of taking an existing clock apart and presenting it as a clock you built. but I must reiterate this is exactly what I did when I was his age!
I didn't get arrested, which means I didn't get invited to the white house or silicon valley. Which means I was not put in a position to be exposed as a fraud in the national media for something I did totally innocently, as a naive freshmen, but now surely Ahmed is going to have to answer for why the clock he "made" is a fake, when in reality it's actually nothing more or less than what nerdy kids do.
This doesn't change the story very much. There is still a massive problem with racism highlighted by the fact that this would never happen with a white kid, I'm proof of that. There is still a massive problem with school zero tolerance policy highlighted, perhaps even more so now that we know this is literally a clock you could buy in a store without the plastic on it. It does seem to mean that Ahmed is not the kind of genius his invitations seem to expect, and that's tragic.
If Ahmad was a tech genius who built his own circuit boards by hand at 14 then his arrest would be unfair but ultimately societies positive response would allow him to write his own ticket to a great future. If he's just a bright kid like me playing around both the arrest and the response will amount to stress and embarrassment he does not need. I really wish it could have been a non-issue for him.
Still I wanted to be transparent about my discovery that the "Homemade Clock" I defended was different from what I represented it to be publicly. I'm sorry too.
You may be wondering why, after my last experience with Greyhound Inc, I would ever consider patronizing their services again. Well it's a long and a sad story, but basically I keep putting myself in positions where I believe they might be the most convenient option.
I went once again in Florida between Couchsurfing hosts with similar results not worth publishing, and now again to get to Mexico. I was given a referral that said the bus was direct, had WiFi, and went straight where it needed to for $60.
Turns out I got on a 9:30 bus at 11:30 and by 3 am I was packed into a red pickup truck in a border town being assured by someone in a Greyhound vest that this was a great idea in a language I do not understand. This had been the fourth vehicle I had been inside on my journey. Somewhere along the ride I developed Shingles, a viral infection that causes herpetic blisters.
This post really killed my momentum on the blog that I had just recovered. I feel like it needs to be written. I'm still not sure what it's for. Whether it's funny, or a moral lesson. It's going to be one of my longer blogs, too long to read for many of you. Oh well. I have to get it out.
It started at the Austin Station, The Customer service reps were as disinterested as I expected, and by the time we got to the front of a long line which was incessantly cut by other patrons we were jostled back and fourth between attendants who couldn't get the thing to scan. No problem, we left plenty of time. But as we were eventually nonchalantly informed that out ticket was "broken", and instructed to write as much on a form we had no capacity to understand, I began to doubt that this trip would be what it was promised
We got new tickets, and held them as 9:30 came and went. No announcement was made that our bus was late, and most of the workers were concerned about another bus that had customers waiting since the early afternoon and had not yet arrived. I tried to talk to someone at the desk again and they had No idea, I was told to ask outside and finally found someone who confirmed we hadn't missed it, it was late, and there was no ETA.
The bus station looked typical, about what I expected. It was not tiny like some I'd seen, but it was one room, so reasonably small for a city like Austin. Typical airport style seating, mostly full, a counter of outlets in the corner that offered the opportunity to recharge your phone in exchange for the privilege of sitting (pick one) and some vending machines.
I chose to seat myself on the floor, and cracked pecans to eat until our bus came several hours late. by that time I already felt tired of traveling despite literally having not left home, but I was thrilled to see the Blue Bus, perhaps things were looking up. Blue Buses have wifi and power outlets. Except the wifi was out on this one, but still! Power meant I could watch movies until San Antonio. This was the only bus that would have it.
The San Antonio station was REALLY small considering San Antonio. It did not even have slots for bus parking, the buses simply double-parked in a oversized drive through. They had a little café where I bought some overpriced chicken, and we continued on the same bus to Laredo. That's where things got interesting.
I didn't get to see much of Laredo, but it had the feel to me of an old west town that never really left the early 1900s. It did not seem sure whether it wanted to be in Mexico or the States. We did not go inside the bus station, instead we just shuffled straight onto a crappier bus and headed for the border. that's where things got interesting.
This bus was empty except for a couple of older Hispanic women and one man, none of whom spoke English. It took us about a half an hour to get to the border which we might have spit on from the bus station, and we got on a line of buses to cross over. Some time passed, and then the driver started speaking in Spanish for some length of time. I followed virtually none of it.
We returned to the bus station, and piled into a white windowless van with "Grehound Inc" sharpied onto the side. I'd gathered by this boint through broken conversations with other patrons that the line of buses over the border was going to take too long, and this alternate was supposed to be faster over the border.
Nope. We took the white bus TO the border, and then walked over manually carrying our luggage. Literally thee was a bridge over the Rio Grande that we walked over with the bus driver and all. The actual border checkpoint was nothing, just a handwave, and then we piled into a dirty Mexican truck. I didn't know if it was headed to Monterrey, or to another bus, or what.
If I thought Laredo wasn't sure if it wanted to be in Mexico, Nuevo Laredo On the Mexican side had no apprehensions. Elotes and Tacos for sale, farmacias, and plenty of signs of crime. Exactaly where I wanted to spend the rest of my night beginning around 4am.
We pulled into a bus station, not a greyhound station, another one, and the driver hit us up for tips as some other vultures played porter with our bags. I waited in a bus station in Nuevo Laredo (the Mexican Side) for several hours after the pickup before getting on a slow buss to my destination in Monterrey. If the other stations were poor, this was distinctly worse. a large circumference trashcan was a prominent feature in the room, the toilets didn't flush and the chairs were mostly broken. I did not dare leave it's sanctuary until morning however.
That last bus ride was long and slow. There is a toll road to Monterrey but we did not take it. We took a slow and often unpaved path through numerous tiny pueblos. At one point we stopped inexplicably in what looked like ruins of a town that once was. I saw a horse, I wondered if this was some old town and we had arrived. But no, the bus driver has a sweet tooth and simply stopped the travel to pick up some dulces on the roadside.
Once you got used to it it wasn't so bad, they put on Downton Abbey in Spanish and I fought to get some sleep. All in all what should have been an overnight trip, 6 hours by car, had taken the better part of 24 hours. I arrived in the Monterrey Bus Station just in time for my back to start hurting with blisters that looked like I had fallen into a mosquito nest. It was big and cosmopolitan, much more what I Had expected, but with plenty of culture and color in the form of street salesmen. I was not there long, a friend picked me up, and to this day I do not know how he happened to arrive 4 hours late to meet us on time.
But my sores, and the concern they might be contagious, meant that upon arrival in Mexico I needed to navigate the maze of the Mexican medical practice. A good system to be honest, one I'm impressed with. It allowed me to see a doctor several times for about $4 and get the prescriptions I needed that day at similarly reasonable prices. Still it was not a system I was in any way familiar with, and it required me to learn Spanish words for phrases like "Herpes Zoster" and "less of a burn, and more of an ache really" I eventually got it though, and saw some great things in Mexico.
On the return trip we resolved not to get off our bus for any any any reason. The first leg was incident free, watching most of Man of Steel in Spanish until it was inexplicably turned off. Then we arrived in that same damn Nuevo Laredo bus stop. I did NOT want to be back in that damn Nuevo Laredo bus stop.
The longest leg of the trip was the 7.5 miles from that bus station to the one in Laredo on the American side. We boarded somewhere around 10 or 11pm. The sun rose about halfway across the bridge. Long line of busses proceeded one at a time over the border. The bus driver got to the point that he would stop the bus, get up and sleep in one of the passenger seats until the bus in front of us moved. Then return to his chair, pull forward one bus length, and go to sleep again. For Hours and hours while I tried to sleep with open sores on my back and the need to take large Mexican antiviral pills every four hours (I took several courses on that bus)
When we finally got to the border everyone got out and herded into an informal cattle line to show papers one at a time, we pulled our luggage, and the bus was inspected. I recalled youth trips back when the attendant would shine a flashlight and wave us through, not so here. Everyone shows a passport or a visa to the worker. That said, the quick look at my ID and the 1 or two questions I was asked hardly justified my 6 hour wait (are we really that sure that I'm that much safer for having done that) It felt like an authentic immigration experience. Coming from Monterrey, being treated poorly. Not the White-person border crossing that is imagined when white people talk about immigration.
After that there was the negotiation with the greyhound attendant in America to get him to speak English. We arrived in the not-so-early morning, but had obviously missed our bus from the previous night. He told us our next bus to Austin was at 1, and it took some convincing that leaving on the bus to San Antonio which left immediately would be a better choice.
The bus was literally shitty. the toilet in the back smelled pungently and water spilled out into the aisle. Several women approached it and decided against it before resigning that they couldn't hold it any more in an hour or so. The driver did not speak a word of English, and a waited with baited breath for the San Antonio stop, the flushing bathrooms, and the overpriced chicken. When we arrived he said 10 minutes.
So I peed, I got back on, and watched the mostly empty shitty bus have every seat filled with Austinites. The patchouli mostly covered the smell, and very suddenly the same driver began to speak English. It felt like a whole new bus. I spent the vast majority of the ride however trying to make sure I could get picked up straight from the station and not have to wait in another bus station ever again!
Today I am leaving for Monterrey, Mexico. People keep asking me if it's a mission trip or a vacation. I like that they have to ask.
It's mostly a vacation. I have a friend down there, and I live nearby, and I like tacos. But the more I think about why people keep asking me if it's missional, the more I realize it is a part of who I am, and I can't not bring it with me.
The last six times I have gone to Mexico it has been to serve the poor in some way as a part of a Christian Church or organization. Each time, the relative value of what I offered was pretty low compared to the value of the cultural exchange and emersion experience. Those experiences have helped form me as a person who loves other cultures. The good times I had helped encourage me towards more hard rewarding work in my life.
Now as I head in search of good times and cultural exchange, I go as a person who cares about the poor, and about Christian organizations. I can only hope that God will continue to find a way to use that attribute he has built into me, in Mexico as in Texas.

Scalpel has made it clear that he would prefer the federal government stay more or less out of the uninsured crisis, as he feels that, given adequate resources, local authorities can handle it better. (please correct if I misstate your thoughts, Scalpel.) Michael Negron over at TPMCafe has an interesting rundown on the various proposals which have been floated to address the situation. Here's one which ought to please the other irascible Texan:
Another approach, outlined by Henry Aaron and Stuart Butler, is the creation of a structured national program of state experimentation with approaches towards expanding insurance coverage. This program could be enacted through federal-state "covenants" that condition federal funds upon the adoption of congressionally-specific policy constraints and approaches aimed at a set of defined goals. The "policy toolbox" of presumptively approved insurance solutions would enable advocates of different approaches, typically divided by partisanship or ideology, to buy into the program in hopes of building a broader consensus in favor of their views. The toolbox may also have the virtue of expanding coverage while simultaneously shifting the political playing field to the states, as advocates lobby state governments to adopt one approach or another. This approach may require preemption of state benefit mandates by federal regulation to permit. Like the individual mandate, this approach could expand health insurance coverage across the country while leaving costs rooted in administrative overhead and quality and efficiency of care unattended.Personally, I am not a fan of the 'local experimentation' model. The reason is highlighted by the disagreement between Scalpel and myself: his community apparently has great resources set up for for indigent/uninsured, while those in my community are inadequate for the need. If local communities are allowed to tinker with the options, it's guaranteed that some communities will screw it up and those people will suffer, and I feel that health care is important enough that it shouldn't vary by the accident of where you happen to live. It is true that a locally varying solution would be better than a universal solution that sucks, and I am really afraid of some half-assed please-nobody compromise will come out of this whole debate. I also admit that I have not yet read the full text of the Aaron-Butler proposal and I am feeling a bit too hypoxic and dehydrated after Karate to give it careful thought just now.

They are still more maddening than amazing.
After winning five straight, the Mets have dropped three in a row and are a poor 22-27 at home, where they should be more formidable.
A team can't be a contender if it doesn't win at home. And, they won't win if they keep playing as they did last night.
Of course, it begins with pitching, and Mike Pelfrey continues to make you scratch your head, even when he gives up three runs. That should be enough to win most games, but last night was not most games. Winning pitchers find a way to shut down the opposition, especially when their offense falters, but Pelfrey remains too generous.
There are times, especially because he throws a sinker, when Pelfrey needs bust a hitter on the fists and get a ground ball – or go for the strikeout – but last night he gave up two sacrifice flies.
I thought Pelfrey made strides last season, but he's regressed to where I wonder if he'll ever be mentally tough enough to consistently work out of trouble. I'm not saying he must be Tom Seaver, Bob Gibson or Don Drysdale, but he needs to get meaner.
Had Pelfrey avoided one of those sacrifice flies there never would have been Mike Stanton's grand slam. Pelfrey isn't good enough to overcome, at least not on a consistent basis, the mistakes the Mets committed last night.
Not surprisingly, much of the focus is on Daniel Murphy, who, after cutting a ball off from right fielder Lucas Duda, was hesitant to throw to Justin Turner at first to nail Dewayne Wise. Murphy was afraid of the runner on third, but Turner had the play in front of him and an easier throw to the plate.
So, instead of two outs and first base open, Jason Isringhausen was forced to pitch to Stanton. Of course, it is still up to Isringhausen to make the quality pitch to get out of the inning, which he didn't.
Earlier, there was a poor throw by David Wright that led to a run, and Jose Reyes being easily thrown out at the plate. Maybe the blame goes to Chip Hale for that one.
Overall, the Mets are playing better than expected, but still there are too many times they beat themselves, and last night was one of them.
Duda's game-tying homer in the ninth inning gave us the gift of hope and exhilaration, of what we'd like things to be, but in the end there again was more maddening than amazing.

SAN DIEGO (Reuters) - Not even two bogeys in his last four holes could spoil Tiger Woods's day at the Farmers Insurance Open, the six-times champion declaring himself happy with a four-under-par 68 in the opening round on Thursday.
Back at one of his favorite venues, the former world number one thrilled the huge galleries watching his every move as he got to six under with a storming seven-under run from the fifth to the 13th before ending the day three strokes off the pace.
Significantly, Woods had started out on the more difficult South Course and he will aim to make much greater in-roads when he tackles the more vulnerable North layout in Friday's second round.
"I am (happy)," the 14-times major winner told reporters after a round that included six birdies, an eagle at the sixth, two bogeys and a double-bogey at the fourth left him three shots behind fellow American Brandt Snedeker and South Korean KJ Choi.
"I had it to six (under), and I had a beautiful putt at (hole) 14 to get it to seven," he said of a 16-foot birdie putt which slid past the cup.
"After being one under and then one over, to battle back and get to six at one point was a good job."
Asked what score he had in mind for his second round on Friday on the easier North layout, he replied: "It depends on the weather. If it blows, it's supposed to blow and rain, but it didn't materialize today, so we'll see what happens tomorrow."
Woods made a fast start on a damp and overcast morning, sinking a 25-foot birdie putt at the par-four first that prompted one fan to yell out: "Yeah baby."
As the world number two made his way toward the second tee, another spectator shouted out: "You own this place Tiger."
Though Woods stumbled with a three-putt double-bogey at the fourth, where he missed the green well to the right with his approach, he picked up the tempo in grand style over the next four holes.
He sank a 12-footer for birdie at the fifth, spectacularly holed out from a greenside bunker to eagle the sixth and rolled in a 14-footer for birdie at the eighth to get to three under overall.
Out in four-under 32, Woods also birdied the 12th and 13th but then stumbled with bogeys at the 15th, where his tee shot ended up behind a tree, and the 17th, after missing the fairway off the tee.
"I made a few mistakes out there, but I made some nice plays as well," said Woods, who missed the cut in bizarre circumstances at last week's Abu Dhabi Championship. "We couldn't ask for better conditions to score than we had today."
Woods felt his all-round game was similar to last week when he made his first start of the year in the European Tour event but failed to advance to the weekend after being slapped with a two-shot penalty for a rules infringement in the second round.
"Last week's conditions were a lot more difficult and the fairways were narrow and the wind was howling," said Woods, who clinched his most recent major title with a remarkable playoff win in the 2008 U.S. Open at Torrey Pines.
"I felt like I was doing a lot of good things right last week. Unfortunately, only for a few days, but I was doing a lot of good things right. And I came out here today and basically did the same thing."

OKC Thunder Hosts Player Who Made Wrong Way Buzzer Beater
Oklahoma City Thunder general manager Sam Presti contacted an Oklahoma high school player who scored a wrong-way buzzer-beater for the opposing team to end a state playoff game on Thursday. The Thunder will host the young man during Sunday's home game against the Boston Celtics.
On Thursday, Hugo (Okla.) High School player Trey Johnson scored the game-winning layup for Millwood H.S., the opposing team, in an Oklahoma boys state basketball tournament game. Needing only to run a few seconds off the clock, Johnson caught the inbound pass and mistakenly thought he was nearer the Millwood basket. However, he was on the Hugo side of the court when he laid the ball in at the buzzer. Instead of clinching the win, Hugo lost 38-37.
Presti wouldn't divulge what he said to Johnson, but it would figure that the high school junior might be cheered up by getting to meet some of the Thunder players and staff. Might.

Jets quarterback Geno Smith doesn't currently have an agent to push to the media a better narrative than the one that has emerged since the draft began.
So Smith is doing it himself.
Smith addressed some recent criticisms during a Monday interview with Jim Corbett of USA Today. And while the 39th pick in the draft declared that "I don't worry about what people say — my skin is pretty thick," Smith disputed a recent report from Jason Cole of Yahoo! Sports that Smith focused excessively on his smartphone during team visits.
"That's not true," Smith said. "I got strong remarks from all the teams I visited with. . . . I couldn't care less what's coming out in the media because I know what's true."
It's a delicate balance. On one hand, he says he doesn't care. On the other hand, he cares enough to dispute it.
Smith again explained that he didn't fire his former agents in the days after the draft because he slid out of the first round.
"Parts of the draft experience were tough, but not all of it," Smith said. "With that entire process, you can see where some things went wrong. . . . Choosing to leave those guys was the best decision for me at the time. That's what I went with. I think I'm pretty good with my decision making. So I trust myself."
The problem is that, regardless of the reasons, the timing suggests that Smith blamed the agents for his eventual draft position. It arguably would have been better to lay low until late June before making the change, instead of doing it when the draft experience was fresh in everyone's mind.
Smith also took issue, 11 days after the fact, with a report from ESPN's Suzy Kolber that the former West Virginia quarterback planned to leave New York after the first night of the draft.
"Coming back on Day 2 was never not an option for me," Smith said. "My goal was to go up on that stage and shake Mr. Goodell's hand. And that's what we did."
It's too late to set that part of the record straight. The perception that Smith didn't handle the situation properly hardened hours before he shook Goodell's hand. The first order of business for his new agent should be to accept the existing perception and work to change it not in one fell swoop but over a period of months.
The best way to do that will be for Smith to play well and, when things inevitably don't go well, to handle it calmly.
For more on Smith and other Jets-related issues, here's Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News from Monday's PFT Live.This video is no longer available. Click here to watch more NBC Sports videos!

The Provenance of a Painting
Leon Schlesinger was the producer and owner of the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies that were released through Warner Bros. While his studio had cartoon stars like Porky Pig and Daffy Duck, Bugs Bunny surpassed both of them to become a major hit with audiences. As a result, Schlesinger had this painting made and hung in his office.
The artist is unknown, though it is likely John Didrik Johnsen, the background painter who worked in the Tex Avery unit.
Schlesinger sold out to Warner Bros. in the mid 1940s and his office contents were put out with the trash. Story man Michael Maltese was driving home and saw this painting in the garbage and took it. He kept it for the rest of his life.
Greg Duffell started at the Richard Williams studio when he was 17 years old. He was intensely interested in animation and just as intensely interested in its history. Duffell was lucky to be at the Williams studio when Williams hired veteran animators Ken Harris, Grim Natwick and Art Babbitt to work and to educate the staff.
When Duffell visited Maltese in California in the 1970s, he saw the painting in his home. Maltese passed away several years later, and his family put the painting up for auction. Duffell won the bid.
Last Saturday, I visited Greg with Thad Komorowski and Bob Jaques. We spent a pleasant afternoon talking about animation and towards the end, Greg hauled out some of the vintage animation art he's acquired over the years. When I was about to leave, Greg asked me to stay for just another few minutes while he showed one more item. He brought out the painting pictured above.
I've seen a lot of animation art but this piece had a different effect on me. Maybe because it was painted, maybe because of its size, but I think it goes deeper. I've been to museums and seen paintings by masters and while I can admire their beauty and craft, I don't have the same emotional connection to the work. Maybe it's nostalgia for my childhood or a wish to have been part of the business during the time the painting was created, but the painting was akin to a religious relic. It is an artifact from a vanished golden age, evidence of what animation once was and no longer is.
Update: Michael Barrier has printed a photo of Michael Maltese with the painting and supplied more information about the creation of the painting and how it came into Maltese's possession.

What an amazing animation artifact. It's so remarkable to marvel at and look at in awe, but at the same time, it's saddening to see the state in which animation in general has evolved and devolved into since its glory days of yesteryear. Sometimes, I still worry that my dreams of working in the industry and making fun cartoons are not going to go as planned and that I may never be able to realize my dream, especially how animation is right now. Great post, Mark.

Looking at the beautiful development of Bugs' facial features, especially the cheeks per the McKimson model sheet, I'd say the painting had to have been done sometime between mid 1942 and mid 1943, when the Bugs as we recognize him today had become familiar in the Clampett unit, but before Leon sold the studio.
The other units were either using a model with slightly smaller cheeks (Jones) or an articulated muzzle (Freleng) through the time Leon sold out to Warners. Not sure if Johnny Johnsen was still at Warners by the time the 'modern' Bugs crystallized -- his background work is apparent in the first couple of Clampett cartoons after he took over from Avery, but the oil-based painting Johnsen favored at the time disappeared from Bob's shorts around mid-42 (or just about the same time as the McKimson 'look' was making its first appearances).

Warren, I'm sure Greg'll be more than happy to haul out this relic again to show you. I actually got to hold/catch the thing when it almost fell out of the crate. Touching something that's encased in Leon's cigarette smoke is really magical.

- murrayb said...
wow, Greg described it when he gave lecture about his career, but man to see it ...It's the animation Mona Lisa!
I'm glad HE has this painting, and not some stuffy collector, it's very fitting.
Did he tell you about the time he met Tex Avery? that story took my breath away, he told it so vividly.

- Amir Avni said...
Thanks for posting! this is fascinating
IMO, The painting celebrates the 1940s bugs bunny as a subject worthy to be portrayed in the Louvre or Getty museums. The greek column usually follows subjects of beauty and elegance, bugs' posing with it takes art seriously, but still maintains a sense of humor, which makes it more relate-able.

This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2012, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
In a state known for its teetotalers, imbibing is on the upswing in Utah with drinkers downing nearly a third more liquor than they did six years ago.
Although key members of the Mormon-dominated Legislature for years have tried to control consumption by restricting the number of alcohol licenses available to restaurants, bars and clubs, an inevitable demographic change and the push for more economic development could help reshape that longtime policy.
Sen. John Valentine, R-Orem, who authors most of the important liquor-related legislation in Utah, is planning to introduce a bill in the upcoming session that would free up more liquor licenses by allowing chain restaurants to obtain a single "master" license for all their locations.
Under current law, each outlet must have a liquor permit, tying up dozens of licenses and creating shortages, which lawmakers generally have been unwilling to remedy, citing concerns about drunk driving, underage drinking and overconsumption. More than 80 percent of legislators are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which teaches its members to refrain from drinking alcohol.
"The bill addresses one of the biggest issues I've heard over the last couple of years," Valentine said. "Large chains want predictability when they enter a market. They want to know that if they otherwise qualify, they can get an alcohol license."
A lack of available licenses has stopped some chains from entering the market and others from expanding, drawing the attention of everyone from the governor to business owners left out in cold by a lack of permits.
Rob Broadwater, manager of the Red Rock Place restaurant in Murray, said that with the influx of people coming into the state, "there's been a change in demographics. Many of these people weren't raised in a system where it's forbidden to drink. That makes it critical to get a liquor license. Without one, it hinders your ability to serve your customers in the way they've come to expect."
Steven Bogden, managing director of Coldwell Banker Commercial, said it's confusing when the national media tell of the scarcity of liquor permits in Utah at the same time the state is trying to recruit companies to relocate here.
"Since the 2002 Olympics, we've been getting visitors who before had never heard of Utah," he said. "Today, places serving alcohol are doing a bustling business. It's a fact that for many people it's normal to serve alcohol at meals and social occasions."
A new report by the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, the agency that oversees the state-controlled liquor monopoly, seems to back the contention that people in Utah are imbibing more often.
In 2006, a Utahn on average consumed nearly 1.96 gallons of liquor annually, compared with 2.54 gallons today an increase of 30 percent. The most popular alcoholic beverage is wine, with per capita consumption this year rising to more than a gallon, an increase of more than 20 percent.
Two years ago, legislative auditors said the amount of liquor sold in Utah had increased at a far greater rate than the population, indicating a greater percentage of drinkers. While the population from 2001 to 2009 increased 22 percent, gallons consumed during the same period increased by 54 percent.
To be sure, Utahns drink far less than others nationally, according to a 2010 report by the National Alcohol Beverage Control Association. Only people in Maine drink less beer than do Utahns, and only residents of West Virginia and Mississippi drink less wine. West Virginians are the only ones who consume fewer spirits.
But the increase in per capita consumption in Utah is for all types of alcohol, including wine, heavy beer and spirits.
Bogden and others say the increasing demand is putting pressure on the need for more liquor licenses, which have chronically run short for the past several years.
In May, permits were in such short supply that 45 applicants vied for a single restaurant permit, whose available numbers are tied to quotas linked to the state's population. The month before, 28 license applicants went away empty-handed. Fifteen applicants are on a waiting list for a bar license, but only one will become available in November.
As concerns about the shortage increased, lawmakers in July voted to create 90 more restaurant licenses, and Gov. Gary Herbert quickly signed the legislation, which went into effect immediately. Still, some commercial developers are worried that liquor permits will again run dry as early as next spring.
Utah's liquor monopoly impacts
Governance • Utah is one of 18 liquor-control states, and the only one whose oversight board is dominated by self-proclaimed teetotalers.
Where the money goes • Utah spends 11 percent of its Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control budget on wages and operating costs, and collects more than three times that amount in sales taxes, subsidies for school lunches and profits.
Wages • The majority of the 570 or so workers for the DABC are part-timers whose earnings are at or below the poverty level. They receive no medical benefits, vacation time or sick leave.
Consumption on the rise
Annual per capita consumption, per gallon, has increased since 2006:
Wine • .887 gallons to 1.065
Spirits • .743 to .913
Heavy beer • .328 to .514
Flavored malt • .035 (2010 when restricted to state stores) to .052
Total consumption • 1.958 gallons to 2.544
