Philadelphia Eagles coach Chip Kelly wants to win now

PHILADELPHIA ? The schedule is longer, the roster infinitely smaller.

The major difference between the NFL and BCS football, the latter of which Eagles head coach Chip Kelly dominated, is the competition. No NFL franchise wins 87 percent of its games, as Kelly did the past four years at Oregon with a frenetic, explosive, no-huddle attack.

?Do we expect to go 46-7 over the next whatever years? No,' Kelly said recently after ripping himself away from an evaluation of the third-down offense of Robert Griffin III and the Washington Redskins. ?I know it's extremely difficult to win in this league. You just look at everybody's record over the history of the game. It is a different game from that standpoint. But that's part of it. That's the challenge.

?You look at it and kind of embrace it.'

When Kelly gets away from that reality check, he's generally embraced by Eagles fans hungry to win. They've said hello, waved to him and even asked for autographs on his daily jogs through the neighborhood surrounding the NovaCare Complex.

Kelly returns from those runs through the front gate, which is just across the street from the banners fans held urging management to fire then-head coach Andy Reid.

Reid was dismissed earlier this year after missing the playoffs in consecutive seasons for the only time in his 14-year tenure. He left with 140 victories, including 10 in the playoffs, and a 58.3 percent winning percentage. The Eagles turned the page on Reid with a 4-12 finish that concluded with a brutal 30-17 loss to the New York Giants.

Kelly's job is to put the pieces back together. Rebuilding isn't in his vocabulary, even if it appears the Eagles are doing just that.

?My job is to win right now,' Kelly said. ?How do you think I'd be received in Philly if I told them we were going to write off this year? Those people that are waving to me on the streets right now, that isn't going to happen. But that's never been my mentality, either. We're not writing anything off. We're going out there to compete and see how it falls. If I went in the locker room and said this is going to be a really good year for us to get for the following year, that's not going to work. No one has a mindset like that.'

With training camp less than two weeks away, Kelly's plan is for all of the players to bunk in a nearby hotel after spending their afternoons practicing largely at the NovaCare Complex.
?That's when we play,' Kelly said. ?Twelve or 14 of our 16 games are played at 1 o'clock.'

The biggest position battle for the Eagles is at quarterback, where veteran Michael Vick, who has 56 NFL victories, takes on Nick Foles, who in six starts has beaten only the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

While Kelly has downplayed the competition and resisted all urges to name a starter, it is a big deal. Eagles fans know that as their quarterback goes, so goes their season.

Kelly's mantra is to ?treat everybody differently, just treat them fairly.' The quarterback competition will test that.

?We're going to name a starter at some point in time,' Kelly said. ?That's why I think it would be unfair right now because there hasn't been enough situations to evaluate. If someone said, ' Hey, we have to play a game tomorrow,' then we have to make a decision. But we don't have to play a game tomorrow. We have until Sept. 9.

?I don't think the positives of making an early decision outweigh making sure we make the right decision.'

Kelly, who grew up in Vermont, is every bit as eager to see which quarterback earns the spot as the fans who greet him on the street. Though he didn't specify the nature of the fan interaction on those jogging expeditions, the grin on his face told you it was creative.

?The fans in Philly tell you a lot of things,' Kelly said. ?It's a very interesting town. They've been great. It's obvious they're extremely passionate about the Eagles. That's evident no matter where you go. It's been awesome. But we haven't played a game yet either, so that could change.'

Eagles ownership, lest we forget, is wagering $32.5 million that Charles ?Chip' Kelly can mold the franchise into a perennial contender much like he did at Oregon. They've given him five years to do the job.

Was Kelly the first choice of Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie? Reports are Kevin Sumlin of Texas A&M was offered the job in Philly. Bill O'Brien of Penn State also was a strong candidate. Like Kelly, both are offensive-minded guys.
In addition to up-tempo football, Kelly has brought ear-numbing music to practice, post-practice protein shakes and all-day-long nutrition concepts here from Eugene, Ore.

Speaking of which, there's still the question of whether Kelly bailed on the Ducks because of potentially crippling NCAA sanctions. The crippling was greatly exaggerated. The Ducks are on probation for three years with a modest reduction in scholarships due to recruiting-service violations. They're still bowl-eligible. Oh, and Kelly essentially is on probation from coaching BCS ball for 18 months.

The Eagles are hoping whatever Kelly has rubs off on them.

Kelly is confident it can happen because without having to recruit there's a heck of a lot more time to devote to preparation. And, well, football is football.

?It's always been football,' Kelly said. ?That's what it is. The only difference is that obviously the season is longer and the size of your roster is different. But the game of football is still the same. It's still 11-on-11 and us going out there and preparing and being more fresh and ready to play than the other team.'

Study: Youth attitudes shift in Great Recession

CHICAGO (AP) ? Drew Miller clearly remembers the day his father was laid off.

Miller, now 25, was a freshman at an Ohio college, full of hope and ready to take on the world. But here was this "red flag ... a big wake-up call," he says. The prosperous years of childhood were over, and his future was likely to be bumpier than he'd expected.

Across the country, others of Miller's generation heard that same wake-up call as the Great Recession set in. But would it change them? And would the impact last?

The full effect won't be known for a while, of course. But a new analysis of a long-term survey of high school students provides an early glimpse at ways their attitudes shifted in the first years of this most recent economic downturn.

Among the findings: Young people showed signs of being more interested in conserving resources and a bit more concerned about their fellow human beings.

Compared with youths who were surveyed a few years before the recession hit, more of the Great Recession group also was less interested in big-ticket items such as vacation homes and new cars ? though they still placed more importance on them than young people who were surveyed in the latter half of the 1970s, an era with its own economic challenges.

Either way, it appears this latest recession "has caused a lot of young people to stop in their tracks and think about what's important in life," says Jean Twenge, a psychology professor at San Diego State University who co-authored the study with researchers from UCLA.

The analysis, released Thursday, is published in the online edition of the journal Social Psychological and Personality Science.

Its data comes from "Monitoring the Future," an annual survey of young people that began in the mid-1970s. The authors of the study compared responses of high school seniors from three time periods ? 1976-1978 and 2004-2006, as well as 2008-2010, the first years of the Great Recession.

They found that at the beginning of this latest recession, more of the 12th-graders were willing to use a bicycle or mass transit instead of driving ? 36 percent in 2008-2010, compared with 28 percent in the mid-2000s. However, that was still markedly lower than the 49 percent of respondents in the 1970s group who said the same.

There were similar patterns for other responses, such as those who said they:

?Make an effort to turn heat down to save energy: 78 percent (1976-1978); 55 percent (2004-2006); and 63 percent (2008-2010).

?Want a job directly helpful to others: 50 percent (1976-1978); 44 percent (2004-2006); and 47 percent (2008-2010).

?Would eat differently to help the starving: 70 percent (1976-1978); 58 percent (2004-2006); and 61 percent (2008-2010).

Psychologist Patricia Greenfield said the findings fit with other research she's done that shows that people become more community-minded, and less materialistic, when faced with economic hardship.

"To me, it's a silver lining," says Greenfield, another of the study's contributors, along with lead author Heejung Park, an advanced doctoral student in psychology at UCLA.

Their analysis found that, of the three groups, the Great Recession group was still most likely to want jobs where they could make a "significant" amount of money. But the authors say that may simply be attributable to the ever-rising cost of day-to-day expenses, from groceries to electric and gas bills.

In comparison, they note that the Great Recession group also showed a bit less interest in luxury items than the students who were surveyed in the mid-2000s.

For instance, 41 percent of high school seniors questioned 2008-2010 said it was important to own a vacation home, compared with 46 percent in 2004-2006. Again, both percentages are higher than the 34 percent who said the same in 1976-1978.

These findings have a margin of error of plus-or-minus 1 percentage point, or less.

Tina Wells, CEO of Buzz Marketing Group, which tracks youth trends, says the analysis fits with what she's seen in her own work.

Many young people, she says, are living in what she calls "millennial purgatory," unemployed or under-employed, working in jobs below their qualifications, and sometimes still living at home with their parents. During the Great Recession the unemployment rate for 15- to 24-year-olds has risen above 20 percent ? more than double the overall rate.

"If you're 22 and trying to jump-start your life right now, it's not so easy," Wells says.

As a result, various 20-somethings have tempered their career expectations in different ways.

Until the economy improves, "I've been opting for security over the perfect job," says Calvin Wagner, a 24-year-old accountant in suburban Cincinnati. As he bides his time, working for a small company with little chance for advancement, he's studying for the exam to become a certified public accountant.

Like many of the survey respondents, Ashley Rousseau, a 25-year-old in Miami, says she's now more focused on a job that helps her community in some way than in landing "a corner office."

"The recession made it even more clear that I'm not going to find job satisfaction from a high-paying career," says Rousseau, who's getting her MBA and works at the medical school at Florida International University, which she says "improves the medical care in the community."

"I'm proud to be part of that mission," she says.

Miller, the 25-year-old whose dad was laid off, left Ohio when he couldn't find work there in his field, electrical engineering. He moved to Alexandria, Va., after finding a government contracting job. But he recently decided to take a chance on a new company that's using "smart technology" to help big corporations cut electrical usage for lighting their spaces.

Though it meant taking a small pay cut, he says having a job that helps the environment was a "huge" motivator.

It remains to be seen, however, how members of this generation will cope with this economic adversity.

Brent Donnellan, an associate professor of psychology at Michigan State University, has found that how parents handle the stress of an economic situation affects a child's resilience. But so does the child's personality. Perhaps not surprisingly, Donnellan says, studies have found that young people who have more self-control and who do well in school tend to weather economic hardship better.

Still others wonder if the shifts in attitudes noted in the study will last.

Lane Kenworthy, who's looked at the impact of various recessions, isn't so sure.

"In almost every case, public opinion has roughly gone back right back to what it was before," says Kenworthy, a professor of sociology and political science at the University of Arizona, who co-wrote a chapter on this topic for a book titled "The Great Recession."

The biggest exception, he says, is the Great Depression of the 1930s, when unemployment rose as high as 25 percent.

That major economic downturn saw a big shift toward the Democratic party, he says, and an embracing of government programs such as Social Security.

The downturn of the 1970s ? which caused public opinion to sway Republican ? was the only other noteworthy exception he found, he says.

Kenworthy says this recession might impact young people more because they tend to be more impressionable than their elders. But he says a lot will hinge on how long the economic downturn lasts ? and how deeply they feel the pain.

Miller, in Virginia, says he still sees a lot of his peers living beyond their means and that worries him.

"I hope that mentality will change to say, 'Hey, we have to plan ahead' because this could happen again," he says.

But Monica Raofpur, a recent graduate of the University of Texas at Dallas, doubts the Great Recession will forever change her generation.

"People usually adapt to their surroundings and make decisions based on what is going on in the present, not in the past," says Raofpur, a sales consultant in the tech industry.

The UCLA/San Diego State study was funded by the Russell Sage Foundation, which focuses social issues and has funded several projects related to the Great Recession.

Lady GaGa to make her return at London's iTunes festival

GaGa, ooh la la

If you're wondering where the bloody hell Lady GaGa's got to lately, she's been down the deli counter in her local supermarket getting some poor person to wrap her in Parma ham, dip her in bacon bits and drizzle English mustard all over her on a daily basis. Or working on a new album or something. Anyway, rumours are now well and truly RIFE that GaGa's finally gonna make her pop comeback at this year's iTunes Festival. Hoorah.

Following her hip surgery earlier this year, GaGa's expected to launch her brand spanking new album 'ARTPOP' with a gig at London's rather intimate Roundhouse a la Jessie J, Arctic Monkeys and more in September.

According to reports, her quirky Haus of GaGa team are pulling out all the stops for the show - spending abput ?500,000 on the production of the whole ruddy thing. A pesky insider spilled to The Sun: "The gig in Camden has a huge budget and is likely to be the first anyone sees or hears of her album. The Haus Of GaGa team have been working in secret on costumes and stage sets for the show from their base in Paris.

"GaGa?s dancers have also been rehearsing but she?s only told her closest friends about the new direction she?s taking. The music is going to be a big departure and GaGa?s dreamed up a whole new image for the album."

Actual Apple - the team behind the whole shebang - have refused to comment, though. They said: "Apple does not comment on rumour or speculation." Ooh, get you.

What do you reckon? Excited for a possible GaGa return? Comments purlease.
