country late Tuesday after the game and most of the deaths and injuries appear
to be from road accidents as cars raced around honking their horns in
celebration. The statement from emergency services said five celebrating fans
were killed when their van slid off the road into a ravine in the mountain town
of Bejaia, east of Algiers, while four others died in the southern city of
Biskra when two trucks collided. A 10-year-old was killed in the town of Bouira,
also east of the capital, just after midnight when the vehicle he was travelling
in drove off the road. Eight other passengers, including four children between
the ages of 3 and 8, were also injured, said the state news agency. The
remaining two deaths occurred in the towns of Tipaza and MSila, the statement
added without further details. Much of the north of the country was blanketed
with heavy rains Tuesday, making road conditions dangerous. Residents described
a great deal of reckless behaviour in the course of the celebrations that
continued throughout the night in some cities. It is the fourth trip to the
World Cup for Algeria and follows closely on its 2010 appearance in South
Africa. Prime Minister Abdelmalek Sellal and other members of the government
lunched with the victorious team on Wednesday. The absence of ailing President
Abdelaziz Bouteflika was noted as another sign of his increasing infirmity
following a stroke in April. The 76-year-old president was nominated by his
party Saturday to run for a fourth term.

the game but its just one small aspect,” said Chicago Blackhawks GM Stan Bowman.
“Its a skill exhibition. If you can get it back closer to regular hockey and
have it decided that way; that would be my preference.” “I dont think its a
knock on the shootout, I think more of the managers would like to see it end in
overtime,” added Washington Capitals GM George McPhee.ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. --
Buffalos notoriously long, harsh winters have their advantages as far as Jim
Schwartz is concerned. The nasty weather that stretched well into April provided
the Bills new defensive co-ordinator an additional excuse to stay indoors and
become more familiar with his players and staff. "One of the good things about
being here in Buffalo is the weather was so bad that we had plenty of time as
coaches to stay together," Schwartz said with a laugh, following a voluntary
minicamp practice this week. "When the snow was rolling and it was 5 degrees
outside, we were holed up in the room watching all their stuff from last year."
It was an invaluable experience for the defensive-minded specialist, who finds
himself back in his element in Buffalo a few months after losing his job
following a five-year stint as the Detroit Lions head coach. "You can spin
coaching changes any way you want. The one thing I would say is the players do
have a clean slate," Schwartz said. "They have to prove themselves. And Im in
the same boat. Ive got to prove myself all over again. Its exciting. Thatll
bring out the best in players. Itll bring out the best in coaches." Filling the
vacancy after Mike Pettine left to take over the Cleveland Browns, Schwartz
inherits a Bills defence that began shedding its once-porous and passive
reputation by emerging as the teams strength last season. While Buffalo (6-10)
struggled on offence in large part because of rookie quarterback EJ Manuels
inconsistencies and injuries, the defence finished 10th in the NFL in yards
allowed -- the units best ranking in nine years. The Bills also finished second
in the league with 23 interceptions and a franchise-record 57 sacks. And they
had four defenders earn Pro Bowl selections, including tackle Marcell Dareus,
who was added as an injury replacement. The only area of concern was Buffalos
inability to stop the run. The BBills gave up 150 or more yards rushing six
times, and finished 28th in allowing an average 129 net yards rushing per game.
Tre
Davious White Bills Jersey. Schwartz has a strong track record in devising
schemes to stop the run. During his eight seasons as Tennessees defensive
co-ordinator, the Titans finished sixth or better in rushing yards allowed six
times from 2001-08. Its on Schwartz to build on that success with a unit that
features a few new wrinkles at linebacker, where the team added Brandon Spikes
and Keith Rivers in free agency, and was unable to re-sign three-time Pro Bowl
safety Jairus Byrd. Schwartz is Buffalos fourth defensive co-ordinator in four
seasons. He doesnt anticipate a difficult transition, even though hes making the
switch to a 4-3 style of defence, and his philosophy is considered less
aggressive than Pettines pressure-the-passer approach. Schwartz is keeping much
of the same play-calling terminology. And he said the switch to four linemen and
three linebackers shouldnt be regarded as significant, because his and Pettines
defences share similar elements. Veteran defensive tackle Kyle Williams doesnt
foresee much change in the Bills approach. "No, were not going to be
read-and-react. Were going to attack guys," Williams said. "Now, if we do it
with four rushers, five rushers or six, thatll have to be game-planned. But were
going to be on the move. And were going to attack." Spikes liked what hes seen
after two weeks of minicamp practices. "Weve still got a long way to go, but if
we can take these necessary steps, I think we can be great this season and shock
the world," said Spikes, who was signed in part because of his reputation as a
run-stuffer during his first four seasons in New England. "I take that
personally. If you can stop the run, you can make them one-dimensional," Spikes
said. "I think this season therell be some eye-openers."
