Reimer left the Leafs' game against the Carolina Hurricanes after just 32 seconds, when teammate Josh Leivo accidentally hit him on the side of the head. Reimer's 2011-12 season was sabotaged after a run-in with Brian Gionta left him with a concussion and neck injury. Reimer left the ice and was replaced by Jonathan Bernier, who has the edge in the ongoing race for the Leafs' starting job. Brett Willows, in turn, took Bernier's spot on the bench -- he's the starting goalie for the University of Toronto, and the Leafs called up him up during the game on an emergency basis....

Well, sort of. On a night that saw Tatum add to his All-Star starter and MVP case with 32 points, eight rebounds and seven assists in a win over the Bulls, it was his pre and post-game outfit that kind of stole the show.

Ken Jennings hosted my quarter final game and before we started taping, I talked to him very briefly and took pictures with him. But I was only playing one game a day and he’s hosting multiple games a day, so he’s got a lot of work to do. In the brief encounter I had with him outside of playing the game, he was lovely. Most of the past year I’ve been working at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland, Oregon, and that has a pretty good reputation....

Helms’s letter asserts that the Defense Intelligence Agency has “recently increased its estimate of the Backfire’s range, due to the defector’s new evidence.” (The ;defector worked on a Backfire base during his military service.) DIA has now concluded that it should be counted as a strategic intercontinentalrange aircraft under START. Helms’s letter also charges a CIA “cover-up” of evidence that the Soviets have used the Backfire as the platform to test long-range, air-launched cruise missiles....
