The Piledriver Report 02.08.13: The History Of Vince McMahon's Wrestling Empire: Part Four
Posted by

on 02.08.2013
The WWF entered the spring of 1988 with a new champion. However, WrestleMania IV wouldn't be the last that we heard of Hulk Hogan. However, by the end of the decade, a new opponent would threaten Hogan's popularity.
The World Wrestling Federation didn't have to worry about the drawing power of their new World Champion. Their new torchbearer fought Ted DiBiase throughout the spring and summer in World title matches that were unlike any ever seen in the WWF. The McMahons presented wrestlers, such as Bruno Sammartino, Pedro Morales, Billy Graham, Bob Backlund, and Hulk Hogan as their World Champions. While these men had charisma, or were extremely popular with the fans, they did not present five star classics to the fans. Randy Savage was the first WWF Champion who was an incredible worker. The fans recognized this, and it showed their appreciation with their wallets. The Savage/DiBiase feud did better house show business then most of Hulk Hogan's post-WrestleMania feuds.
While the Savage/DiBiase war was wrestling in packed houses, and great matches, there was one feud that delivered five star matches in terms of ring psychology. At a TV Taping on March 19th, after his victory over preliminary wrestler Jake Milliman, Rick Rude went up to a lady at ringside to deliver his "Rude Awaking" kiss. The woman rejected Rick Rude after telling him that she was married to Jake Roberts. When he wouldn't take "no" for an answer, Cheryl Roberts slapped Rude in the face. Rude grabbed Cheryl's arm, until Jake "The Snake" made the save. On May 7th at a house show in the Boston Gardens, Rick Rude went to invite a woman into the ring, but Jake Roberts, who wanted revenge against Rick Rude, prevented her to enter the ring. On an interview that aired on June 11th, Jake Roberts introduced his wife, Cheryl Roberts, to the capacity crowd. Cheryl let Rude know that he wasn't man enough for her, or for Jake Roberts. More head games were played between the two combatants. Each wrestler, along with Cheryl Roberts, were on TV each week trying to gain the upper hand on the other. At a TV Taping on July 14, 1988 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Rick Rude took their psychological war one step further. In a match that aired on August 7th, Rick Rude entered the match wearing wrestling tights that had Cheryl Roberts' face air brushed on it. Their feud started before WrestleMania IV, extended into the summer, and reached its climax at the second annual Survivor Series.
While Savage was busy fighting DiBiase across the country, and Jake Roberts was battling Rick Rude, Hulk Hogan was busy trying to make the jump from being the most popular wrestler in history to becoming a huge movie star. Hulk Hogan spent the middle of 1988 in Atlanta, GA with Vince McMahon in filming a motion picture called "No Holds Barred." The film was about "a pro wrestling champion called Rip (Hogan), who is faithful to his fans and the network he wrestles for. Brell, the new head of the competing World Television Network, wants Rip to wrestle for him. Rip refuses and goes back to his normal life. In order to raise ratings, Brell introduces a show called "The Battle of the Tough Guys", which was a violent brawling competition (think UFC/MMA). A man called Zeus wins the competition. Brell uses Zeus to try to get at Rip. A battle between Rip and Zeus is enviable."
The movie was Hogan's first movie in the role as a lead actor. However, the movie would turn out to have greater significance for the World Wrestling Federation. Vince McMahon was a body building enthusiast. He trained hard, had big arms, but genetics and age hadn't been kind to Vinnie Mac. Now matter how hard he tried, Vince couldn't obtain the same physique that made his wrestlers famous. During the filming of "No Holds Barred," Hogan was getting packages of steroids shipped to him by Dr. George Zahorian. Zahorian worked for the Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission. He worked all of the WWF's TV tapings when they came to town. Doctor George wasn't just a worker of the state, but he went into business for himself at the matches. If you needed pills, painkillers, or steroids, all you had to do was visit Dr. Zahorian. While hanging out with Hogan in Atlanta, the "Hulkster" convinced Vince McMahon to start taking steroids. Vince agreed, and starting getting the steroids from Dr. Zahorian, just like his wrestlers. At the time, Vince's decision to use steroids was no big deal. However, history would later show that Vince's attempt at gaining his body builder physique would almost lead to his downfall.
When the filming of "No Holds Barred" was complete, Vince's focus was completely on the squared circle. More importantly, the WWF was preparing for its summer version of WrestleMania. The WWF called their summer pay per view "Summer Slam."
At the JUNE 21, 1988 TV Tapings, during an interview Andre the Giant interrupted the WWF Champion. The 7 foot 5-inch behemoth distracted Savage long enough for Ted DiBiase to attack him from behind. DiBiase, Andre, and Bobby Heenan triple teamed Savage, as DiBiase's bodyguard Virgil forced Elizabeth to watch the onslaught. The attack was aired on July 9th. Later that same day, in a segment that aired on July 16th, the "Macho Man" challenged Andre and DiBiase to a tag team match. On the July 23rd edition of WWF Superstars, the heels accepted Savage's challenge. It was then announced that Jesse Ventura would be the guest referee in the match. At the TV Tapings on July 13, 1988, Savage had a major announcement to make. In a segment, which aired on August 1, 1988, Randy Savage announced that his tag team partner in the match would be Hulk Hogan. The interview was Hogan's first appearance at a wrestling event since April. In the interview, the "Hulkster" told the fans that Miss Elizabeth is now his manager as well. The battle, which was labeled as the MegaPowers vs. the MegaBucks, would take place at the very first SummerSlam.
Summer Slam 1988 took place on August 29, 1988 in Madison Square Garden. The opening contest pitted the Rougeau Brothers against the British Bulldogs in a match that ended in a twenty-minute time limit draw. Bad News Brown pinned Ken Patera. Rick Rude beat the Junk Yard Dog by disqualification due to outside interference from Jake Roberts. The Powers of Pain (Warlord & Barbarian) beat the Bolsheviks (Nikolai Volkoff & the Iron Sheik). The Ultimate Warrior beat the Honky Tonk Man to capture the WWF Intercontinental Championship. Dino Bravo pinned Don Muraco. WWF Tag Team Champions Demolition beat the Hart Foundation. The Big Bossman pinned Koko B. Ware. Jake Roberts beat Hercules. Hulk Hogan & Randy Savage beat Ted DiBiase & Andre the Giant in the main event.
The closing moments of the main event were used to help plant the seeds of an eventual Hulk Hogan/Randy Savage feud. Towards the end of the match, Miss Elizabeth climbed onto the ring apron and removed her skirt, exposing a bathing suit bottom. This distracted DiBiase and Andre long enough for the MegaPowers to gain control and score the victory. After the match, Hogan wrapped his arms around Elizabeth, and gave her a gigantic bear hug. This didn't sit well with the "Macho Man." Hogan placed Elizabeth on Savage's shoulder. However, when Hogan went to balance Elizabeth, his hands were a little too low on Elizabeth's back for the "Macho Man's" liking. Over the next five months, Savage's jealousy in regards to Hogan and Elizabeth's relationship would get the better of him. Summer Slam would only be the starting point.
On September 13th, in a segment, which would air on WWF Superstars October 1st broadcast, the WWF introduced a new wrestler into the company. Much like with Ted DiBiase the previous year, the WWF used several pre-taped vignettes to hype his World Wrestling Federation debut. His first vignette showed this wrestler playing pool by sinking every ball on the table. A week later, he was shown thrown a perfect bull's eye on a dartboard. On October 15th, he sent seen playing chess like Bobby Fischer. Later segments would include him shooting baskets, throwing a football and hitting a baseball. No matter what the sport was, he played it to absolute perfection. He had to, as this man wasn't your average Joe. He was perfect; "Mr. Perfect" Curt Henning. "Mr. Perfect" would become one of the greatest workers in the WWF's history. He came to the WWF fresh off of a stint as the American Wrestling Association World Championship. Henning was the complete wrestler. He was a great worker, an arrogant attitude, and terrific mic skills. He might have started his career by showing that he was "perfect" in every sport, except wrestling. However, it wouldn't be long until the fans saw that he was "absolutely perfect" as a wrestler as well.
Another newcomer to the WWF rings was the Big Boss Man. Boss Man, who was Big Bubba Rodgers in the NWA/WCW, was billed as being a former prison guard from Georgia. In his early WWF matches, after defeating his opponents, the Boss Man would drag his beaten foe to the ropes. Boss Man would then handcuff the wrestler to the rope, and beat him with a night stick. His "hard style of justice" wasn't just relegated to preliminary wrestlers. On the October 22nd edition of WWF Superstars, the Big Boss Man interrupted a Brother Love interview of Hulk Hogan. He attacked Hogan with his night stick, and then handcuffed Hogan to a guard rail, where he beat on Hogan some more.
On the same night, the National Wrestling Alliance's top tag team and half of the Four Horsemen wrestling stable, Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard made their WWF debut as Bobby Heenan's "Brain Busters" tag team. Not only did the Blanchard/Anderson signing put a temporary rest hold on the NWA most popular quartet, but also it proved that any wrestler could be signed away from the competition.
With Hogan out for revenge on the Big Boss Man, the main event of the 2nd Annual Survivor Series was set. Hulk Hogan and his tag team partner Randy Savage teamed up with Koko B. Ware, Hillbilly Jim, and Hercules against the Big Boss Man, Akeem, Ted DiBiase, "King" Haku, and the "Red Rooster" Terry Taylor. After Hogan and Savage were the final two survivors in the match, Hogan touched Miss Elizabeth in a "too friendly" way. This infuriated Savage, as he was pointed and cursing at an ignoring Hulk Hogan.
Earlier in the show, the Ultimate Warrior, the Blue Blazer, Jim Brunzell, Sam Houston, and Brutus Beefcake defeated the Honky Tonk Man, Greg Valentine, Ron Bass, Bad News Brown, and Danny Davis after the Ultimate Warrior became the sole survivor. In the elimination match involving the WWF's tag teams, The Powers of Pain, Bret Hart & Jim Neidhart, Davey Boy Smith & the Dynamite Kid, Jim Powers & Paul Roma, and Shawn Michaels & Marty Jannetty defeated WWF Tag Team Champions Demolition, the Conquistadors, Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard, Jacques & Raymond Rougeau, and Nikolai Volkoff & Boris Zhukov. The Powers of Pain tag team were the lone survivors. During the match, Mr. Fuji abandoned Demolition, and switched allegiances to the Warlord and the Barbarian. In an instant, the Powers of Pain went from being one of the most popular tag teams in the WWF, and became their most hated. Demolition, on the other hand, went from being booed to becoming wildly cheered. Little did the fans know at the time, but this would be the last time the British Bulldogs would step foot in a ring together. Andre the Giant, Dino Bravo, Mr. Perfect, Harley Race, and Rick Rude defeated Jake Roberts, Ken Patera, Jim Duggan, Tito Santana, and Scott Casey when Curt Henning and Dino Bravo were named the last survivors.
The Survivor Series wouldn't be the last time Savage would start to yell at Hogan. On January 15, 1989, the WWF presented the Royal Rumble for the first time on pay per view. The undercard featured a "posedown" between the Ultimate Warrior and "Ravishing" Rick Rude. The under card matches included: Jim Duggan, Bret Hart & Jim Neidhart beat Dino Bravo, Jacques & Raymond Rougeau in a Best 2 out of 3 falls match. WWF Women's Champion Rockin' Robin pinned Judy Martin. King Haku pinned Harley Race to be the "official" King of the WWF. Months before the bout, Bobby Heenan managed "King" Harley Race. When Race suffered an injury that put him on the sidelines, Heenan pronounced Haku as the new "King." Even tough, Race was now back from his injury, Haku did not want to abdicate the thrown. Since Heenan managed both men, he worked both corners of the ring torn between whom to side with. In a strange bit of trivia, the Haku/Race match was not included on the US release of the Royal Rumble 89 home video. In the main event, "Big" John Studd won the 30-man over the top rope Royal Rumble. There were two memorable moments in the battle royal. The first happened after the opening bell. The WWF World Tag Team Champions, Ax and Smash of Demolition were the first two participants in the match. Instead of standing by waiting for the third entrant, both competitors went after each other like they were sworn enemies. The other memorable moment was when Hulk Hogan threw Bad News Brown and Randy Savage out of the battle royal. This led to another Savage outburst. It was short lived however, as Miss Elizabeth ran to the ring to smooth things over between the two wrestlers.
While it was obvious that tensions were starting to run high between Hogan and Savage, they were scheduled to team up with each other on February 3, 1989 on the WWF's second annual live "The Main Event" prime time special. Their opponents that evening were The Twin Towers (Akeem and Big Boss Man). Hogan pinned Akeem after hitting him with a legdrop. The Mega Powers victory was only a side note for the evening. During the contest, Randy Savage was thrown outside of the ring where he landed on top Miss Elizabeth. Seeing Elizabeth knocked out, Hulk Hogan picked up the fallen manager, and carried her back to the arena's medical room. While Hogan was gone, Akeem and the Big Boss Man double teamed the WWF World Champion. After Hogan returned to the ring, Randy Savage slapped Hogan in the face and left the ring. After the match, Hogan met up with Savage in the medical room. Savage yelled at Hogan for leaving him in the ring by himself. He then accused Hogan of having "lust for Elizabeth." Savage struck Hogan in the head with the WWF Championship belt, and started to beat on the "Hulkster."
The line was drawn. The feud was about to begin. Only one question remained, "which wrestler would get the support of Miss Elizabeth?" Would she stand by her man, the "Macho Man, or would she continue to serve as Hulk Hogan's manager? Miss Elizabeth decided that she would remain in a neutral corner during the Hulk Hogan/Randy Savage WWF World title match at WrestleMania V.
Hogan was the company's top babyface. After turning on the "Hulkster," Randy Savage was now the company's top heel. While they were the clear number ones, two wrestlers stepped up to the plate as the number two babyface and the number two heel. These two men were the Ultimate Warrior and "Ravishing" Rick Rude.
When he entered the WWF, the Ultimate Warrior was a ball of energy. After winning the Intercontinental title from the Honky Tonk Man at Summer Slam 1988, the Ultimate Warrior's momentum grew stronger and stronger. Rick Rude was determined to shut down the Warrior's rise to stardom. The first step by Rude was to prove that he had the better physique. He challenged the IC Champion to a body building pose down at the Royal Rumble. Unfortunately for Rude, the fans turned the body building pose down into a popularity contest. Rude, feeling that the fans screwed him, attacked the Warrior with a steel workout bar. While the Ultimate Warrior wanted revenge for the brutal attack, Rude wanted to take the Warrior's Intercontinental championship. Their match was signed for WrestleMania V.
On April 2, 1989, the WWF presented WrestleMania V at the Atlantic City Convention Center in Atlantic City, NJ. This was the first time that one arena was the home to consecutive WrestleManias. The show opened with the WWF Women's Champion "Rockin'" Robin singing the national anthem. As added attractions to the show, Run DMC performed a WrestleMania rap, and Roddy Piper returned to host a special "Piper's Pit" with Brother Love and TV talk show host Morton Downey Junior. Hercules pinned King Haku. The Big Bossman & Akeem defeated Shawn Michaels & Marty Jannetty when Akeem pinned Michaels. Brutus Beefcake fought Ted DiBiase to a double count-out. The Bushwhackers beat Jacques & Raymond Rougeau when Luke pinned Raymond. Mr. Perfect pinned the Blue Blazer. This was the first match where Curt Henning wore his singlet wrestling trunks. WWF Tag Team Champions Demolition defeated the Powers of Pain & Mr. Fuji in a handicap match. Dino Bravo pinned Ron Garvin. Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard beat Tito Santana & Rick Martel. During the match, Rick Martel walked out on Tito Santana. Jake Roberts beat Andre the Giant by disqualification after Andre attacked guest referee Big John Studd.. Bret Hart & Jim Neidhart defeated the Honky Tonk Man & Greg Valentine when Neidhart intercepted Jimmy Hart's megaphone, tossed it to Bret Hart, who then used it on Honky for the pin. Rick Rude pinned the Ultimate Warrior to win the WWF Intercontinental champion. Jim Duggan fought Bad News Brown to a double disqualification. "The Red Rooster" Terry Taylor pinned Bobby Heenan in 31 seconds. Hulk Hogan pinned Randy Savage to win his second WWF World championship.
After losing his title to Hogan, Savage decided to take out his frustrations on the World Wrestling Federation. His first target was one of Hogan's closest friends. On the April 22, 1989 edition of the "Brother Love Show," Randy Savage and his new manager Sensational Sherri interrupted the segment. When Brother Love's guest, Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake, started throwing insults at Sherri, she slapped him across the face. Savage then attacked Beefcake, while Sherri cut off some of Brutus' hair.
Throughout the spring and summer, Randy Savage pulled double duty in the ring, as he feuded with both Beefcake, and Hulk Hogan. One night, Savage would face "The Barber." In the next town, he would face Hogan in a WWF World title match. He was being pulled in two directions, but help was on its way in a most unusual form.
Hogan left wrestling in the Spring of 1988 to film a movie called "No Holds Barred." Hogan's character was that of a championship wrestler. Like all wrestlers, the main character had a new hated rival. This heel character was called Zeus. Vince being Vince, decided to bring in the man who played Zeus. In an interview with Gene Okerlund, Zeus mentioned that "he was the real star of "No Holds Barred" because he was bigger, badder, and he would kick Hulk Hogan's butt." He show the world that he wasn't just all talk. Before a Hogan/Boss Man steel cage match that was held on the May 28th edition of Saturday Night's Main Event, Zeus attacked the Hulkster in the ringside area.
With Zeus' hatred for Hogan made apparent, Randy Savage now had a partner in crime. On the July 8th "Brother Love Show" segment, Savage and Zeus issued a challenge to Hulk Hogan and Brutus Beefcake to a tag team match.
The two teams were set to battle at Summer Slam 1989 in East Rutherford, NJ on August 28, 1989. Hogan and Beefcake beat Savage and Zeus after Hogan pinned Zeus with the legdrop. After the match, Miss Elizabeth helped Beefcake cut off Sheri's ponytail. In the blow off match to their eight month feud, the Ultimate Warrior regained the Intercontinental title from Rick Rude. WWF Tag Team Champions Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard defeated Bret Hart & Jim Neidhart in a non-title match in a dream tag team match. Dusty Rhodes pinned the Honky Tonk Man. "Mr. Perfect" Curt Henning pinned the "Red Rooster" Terry Taylor. Rick Martel, Jacques & Raymond Rougeau beat Tito Santana, Shawn Michaels & Marty Jannetty. Jim Duggan & Demolition defeated Andre the Giant, the Big Bossman, & Akeem. Greg Valentine pinned Hercules with his feet on the ropes. Ted DiBiase beat Jimmy Snuka via count-out.
Throughout the fall, Hogan continued his feud with Randy Savage, as well as defending the title against Bad News Brown. Meanwhile, the Ultimate Warrior was beating Andre the Giant in record time in house shows across the country. The winter months featured title matches between Hogan and Curt Henning
The Ultimate Warrior defended his Intercontinental championship against Dino Bravo. Both champions were on a roll, and both were on a collision course with each other.
The decade of the eighties came to a close with the most popular wrestler in the industry's history holding the WWF World Champion. The fans were starting to wonder who would be the man that would lead the WWF through the next decade. There was a man who was being groomed for that position. The year 1990 would determine if the WWF was ready for life after Hulk Hogan. The first step was about to begin with a simple challenge; an "Ultimate Challenge."

SAN DIEGO (CBS 8) - The New Year's holiday weekend is underway and that means local law enforcement is out in full force, cracking down on drunken drivers.
Several DUI checkpoints will be set up all weekend long. The goal: to keep DUI drivers off the roads and save innocent lives. Local law enforcement will be conducting DUI checkpoints around San Diego over the next four nights.
Street teams with the California Office of Traffic Safety are also assisting in the crackdown. They were in Little Italy Friday night, showing off the half taxi cab/half police car vehicle.
"I'm not going to lie. If people are a little inebriated tonight and they see this, we can actually kind of visually see them, show them, 'look, it's better to take the taxi cab.' This is really expensive otherwise. We want to help you out. And we give them these cards to help them out and find a cab," said Lee Kraus with the California Office Of Traffic Safety.
If you are arrested for DUI, the minimum penalty is a $10,000 fine and a six month suspended driver's license.

PLATTSBURGH — Clinton Community College will say goodbye to Director of College Relations Jaime Kazlo Watson later this month.
Kazlo Watson, who took over the college relations post on June 30, 2011, was one of 10 CCC faculty and staff members who learned in November that they would lose their jobs due to the college's anticipated $600,000 budget gap for next school year.
"It was disappointing news to hear that I was part of the layoffs," she said this week.
But while Kazlo Watson did not expect this outcome when she took the job less than two years ago, she said she understands the college's financial situation.
"It's been a pleasure to work in the North Country for the past couple of years," she said. "I have met so many talented people and will value this experience.
"I thank (CCC) President John Jablonski for the opportunity and wish him and the college the best of luck in the future."
Like the other CCC employees recently tagged for layoff, Kazlo Watson was given the option of remaining employed at the college through Aug. 31 of this year. She, however, has opted to make Feb. 22 her last day, as she and her husband, Chris Watson, are expecting their first child next month.
"I decided to start maternity leave a little bit early," she said.
Upon departing the college, Kazlo Watson plans to move to Albany to be with Watson, who works there as a sports anchor for the cable news station YNN.
Kazlo Watson also worked for the station as a news anchor and lived in Albany for 10 years before moving to the North Country to accept the job at Clinton Community.
"Now that I've had time to digest the news and wrap my brain around it, it really is all for the best," she said of being laid off.

Touching moments for Miggy, Leyland follow Crown
Call from Commissioner among memories for player and manager
KANSAS CITY -- The encounters were between two professionals -- a manager and player. Yet the experiences were so personal, they were characteristic of father-and-son moments.
Not long after Miguel Cabrera entered the record books by becoming the first person since 1967 to achieve the Triple Crown, he and his manager, Jim Leyland, embraced in the dugout. The baseball brothers spoke to Commissioner Bud Selig after the game, sharing another memory in a night full of highlights.
The feeling is mutual. Following the game, Cabrera went out of his way to thank Justin Verlander, Prince Fielder and the rest of his teammates for their encouragement. He took a respectful tone when reporters asked about his manager.
"It was just a great night for baseball," Leyland said.
There were several great moments for Cabrera and Leyland on Wednesday. It's a night neither will ever forget.

D.C. welcomed its first Awesome Con April 20-21 at the Washington Convention Center. The weekend-long celebration of pop culture attracted people of all ages, dressed head-to-toe in costumes. The convention featured collections of comic books, toys, games, art, discussion panels, contests and a range of activities.
Comic book and pop culture fans flocked to Awesome Con on Saturday and Sunday. Many dressed in the colorful garbs of their favorite characters. This practice of dressing up as specific fictional characters, called cosplay (short for "costume play"), is most commonly seen at conventions such as Awesome Con.

Wednesday at the 2012 Championships at Wimbledon wrapped up with No. 1 seeds Novak Djokovic and Maria Sharapova in play. Djokovic advanced with a 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 win over American Ryan Harrison. Maria Sharapova took the first set 7-6 (10), and led 3-1 over Tsvetana Pironkova in the second set before play was suspended until Thursday due to fading light.
The 20-year-old Harrison gave Djokovic a good match. However, he couldn't notch the necessary break that could have turned the tables in any of the three sets. Harrison went 0-for-6 on break chances, compared to an efficient 3-for-3 for Djokovic. Harrison also struggled serving and returning second serves. Djokovic won 82 percent of his second serves, compared to 48 percent for Harrison.
Sharapova had just won a break when play was suspended, and will serve when the match resumes on Thursday.

Hi Everyone,
I am having some issues with my new N91. I recently had the firmware upgraded, and the issues have not improved at all. I'm hoping someone out there has faced and solved some similar issues, or perhaps that you can point me in the right direction towards finding a solution of my own.
WiFi (WLAN). Okay, the N91 comes with WiFi built in. I have been able to find networks, and browse the internet on my phone, in Infrastructure mode. It is pretty simple. The problem has to do with encryption.
On my home network, I use WPA encryption with TKIP. The N91 configuration screens give me the option of using WPA with TKIP, but the phone won't connect. I tried changing to WEP on my home network, and configuring the N91 to use that encryption instead, but it also did not work.
Since I use other computers on my network with WiFi, turning off encryption is not an option. I did test the phone and the router with encryption off, it connects.
The issue is, the N91 will only connect to un-encrypted networks. This is fine for free hotspots, but I want to sync with my home PC via WLAN, send email and use the phone via VOIP. I also need to connect to encrypted networks on the road.
Has anyone managed to connect to an encrypted network with an N91? Do you know what specific hardware you were connecting to, and what protocols you used?
The second issue is Bluetooth. I drive a 2006 BMW M3 with bluetooth support. My old phone (Sony t630) connected to the car via bluetooth flawlessly. It shared the phonebook with my car, and automatically diverts calls to the car when I'm driving. I can answer the phone via a button on my steering wheel, which automatically cuts out the radio and allows me to take calls while driving.
The Nokia "pairs" with my car. However, regardless of what I do, it will not share the phone book, nor will it transfer audio to my car's sound system. According to the Nokia documentation, the pairing process requires that a code be entered for the bluetooth device on the phone, and for the phone on the bluetooth device. I cannot set a code in my car (the bluetooth device), since that is not an option. I can set the code on the phone for my car, and the phone then reports "Pairing Complete". Setting a code on the car was not required for my trusty old Sony. Though the N91 claims "Pairing Complete" there does not appear to be any mechanism for activating the car handsfree via the phone, and the car does not automatically take a call if the phone rings while paired. (On the Sony, one can "Send Call" to a blue tooth device, if the device doesn't automatically take the call, or if the pairing takes place after the call has been initiated.)
Does anyone know of a work around to get the phone to pair for audio (I can live without the phone book). Does anyone know of a third party application that will fix the blue tooth on the Nokia to make it work more effectively with my car?
Any information that can be provided on either of these topics will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Canucks Recall Alexandre Bolduc
With Ryan Johnson still on the healing shelf because of a potential broken foot (no one knows for sure yet), the Canucks are going to go with center Bolduc's services for the game against Phoenix on Tuesday. I guess this means that Darcy Hordichuk, who played well against the Flames, will sit out. Bolduc has played in 7 games with the Canucks this season. He has zero points and is a -2. He has averaged 11:51 in ice time. He has 2 goals and 3 points in 13 games with the Moose this season. Bolduc had dislocated his shoulder earlier in the year, but has since returned and been playing in Manitoba.

Maybe. But President Barack Obama always seems to be dancing alone. And that was the vibe of his swan-song news conference for Act 1 of his presidency.
His words were laced with an edge churlish, chiding and self-pitying. He sardonically presented himself as Lonely Guy, shafted by the opposition, kicking around the White House on his own. Days before his second inauguration, he seemed to be intimating that the job he had fought so hard for and won against all odds was a bit of a chore, if not a bore.
When the man who once enraptured packed stadiums was asked by The Times Jackie Calmes about the criticism that his administration has been too insular, he bristled a tad.
He acknowledged, while conveying that he didnt believe it, that he could do a better job on nurturing personal relationships with lawmakers. (Even if Republicans see him, as Politicos Glenn Thrush wrote, as a pedantic, hectoring fuss-budget.)
Now that my girls are getting older, they dont want to spend that much time with me anyway, he said, as reporters laughed, so Ill be probably calling around, looking for somebody to play cards with me or something, because Im getting kind of lonely in this big house. So maybe a whole bunch of members of the House Republican caucus want to come over and socialize more.
Some Democrats wish he would start a regular game in the Indian Treaty Room so he could work on his poker face. Others are ready for a Bridget Jones approach: Love the president the way he is. Time to go with the flow.
He doesnt reach out very well, one told me. People should get over it.
It is striking how subdued the mood is as the president heads into his second inauguration party.
At his first one, the nations capital was suffused with passion and wonder and dreams, nearly 2 million hope-besotted faces beaming up at the new president, hoping he could save their shirts, shrieking with delight as W.s helicopter flew away over the Capitol.
Now the thrill is dimmed, with a series of grinding, petty fights ahead. Certainly, theres a sense among Democrats that theyre happy Obama is president; the race was close enough that they got a metallic taste of how bad the country would have been if that bunch of backward Republicans got in.
But the cost of W.s misbegotten wars and his mishandling of the economy overwhelmed Obamas first term. And Obama underwhelmed on traits everyone thought hed excel at: negotiating, selling, charming, scaring, bully-pulpiting, mobilizing, dealing with Capitol Hill and, especially, communicating. Its taken the White House four years to develop a coherent message: Pay your bills.
Washingtons mood is as gray as the weather, full of burning Republicans and yearning Democrats.
Were facing default. Again.
Were mired in partisan trash-talking. Still.
And despite the tragedy of the children riddled with bullets in Newtown, Conn., no one is expecting any consequential fixes to our absurdly lax gun laws.
Many top Democrats here feel distant from the White House. They like seeing him try to take it to the Republicans on money and, in the all-too-brief time he has left to get things done before he morphs into a lame duck, want him to follow through on guns and immigration, to say this is the right thing to do and this is what we got elected on and either get on board or get out of the way.
The president complained that even when he invites Republicans to a White House picnic and poses with their families, it doesnt prevent them from going onto the floor of the House and blasting me for being a big-spending Socialist.
Steve Stockman, a Republican elected to the House from Texas, has barely started work, but hes already threatening to start impeachment proceedings against the president if he takes executive action on gun safety measures.
A Greek chorus of historians and pols has been urging the president to spend more time schmoozing with Republican and Democratic lawmakers, as other presidents like Jefferson, Lincoln and LBJ did to get their way.
But Obama still resists the idea that personal relationships can be pivotal, noting that his suspicion is that the issues will be resolved only if Americans push hard, vote recalcitrant lawmakers out and reward folks who are trying to find common ground.
And its true that Republicans have snubbed the president. John Boehner blew off Obamas invites for six state dinners, and Mitch McConnell skipped all but one.
Unlike Chris Christie, Republicans here want to make sure that the president dances alone.

Mustang MonthlyFeatured Vehicles
1973 Ford Mustang Convertible - Mustang In Paradise
Eric De Cuba drives his 1973 convertible year-round on the tropical island of Aruba
Owning and enjoying Mustangs in the United States is something we Americans take for granted. Parts for repair or restoration are readily available through hundreds of vendors, there's always someone nearby who can help with problems, and if you're interested in picking up a new one for your collection, well, there's plenty to choose from. Eric de Cuba can only wish things were so easy on the Dutch island of Aruba, located in the Caribbean Sea about 1,100 miles southeast of Cuba and just a few miles north of Venezuela.
Now 68, Eric first heard about Ford's new Mustang through his cousin, who was attending college in the U.S. and returned to his home island with news about a new Ford vehicle that was consistently sold out. Within a couple years, Mustangs began showing up in Aruba, either imported in small numbers by local dealers or by Americans working at the oil refineries at the south end of the island. Eric finally got a Mustang of his own in 1984 when he became the third owner of a 1965 convertible.
"That was the beginning of our Mustang lives," relays Eric's son, Eric Jr. "That car is still with our family—it's now mine! My father also acquired a 1967 fastback and a 1968 hardtop for my siblings."
When Eric Sr. retired in 1995, he bought himself a present—a 1973 Mustang convertible that he purchased in Florida and had transported to Aruba by container ship.
"He's been enjoying it ever since with regular maintenance and some minor repairs when needed," adds Eric Jr. "Owning a Mustang in Aruba is actually not that hard thanks to the proximity to the U.S. Getting parts does take money and time. Heavier items come by ship; lighter ones arrive as airplane cargo."
It may be a little more difficult to maintain a vintage Mustang in Aruba, but the good news is that the constantly beautiful weather allows year-round driving. There's no cold weather or snow, with temperatures averaging in the high 80s with a cooling trade wind at all times. And with little rain, Eric can always keep the top-down.
For such a small island, Eric has plenty of company when it comes to Mustangs. There's even a Mustang Club of Aruba (yes, the MCA—see "One Happy Club" in the March 2008 issue), which Eric co-founded in 1997 with Doque Croeze and Maky Kelly. Today, over 50 members own over 75 Mustangs, old and new. Eric is a frequent visitor to the club's unofficial headquarters, Doque's Urataka Center bar and grille, but he's also been known to slip over to the U.S. for major Mustang events, including Carlisle, the "other" MCA's Grand National in 1999, the Mustang 35th Anniversary show in Charlotte, and the 45th in Birmingham.
If you're vacationing in Aruba and spot a yellow '73 Mustang convertible on the narrow roadways, give the driver a wave. For sure it's Eric De Cuba out for a top-down cruise.

|Would like to see more out of our politicians
Letter to the Editor:
Open letter to all politicians — state and federal:
We desperately need representatives who will look out for all Americans and it seems to me we don't have any. Not anymore!Who are you representing? Lobbyists and special interest groups? Aren't we the citizens and taxpayers who elected you into office? Doesn't your paycheck come out of our tax dollars? Do you know why we elected you?
We listened and believed your promises. Did you believe your speeches? Or did you lie to yourself like you lied to us? What happened? We need trust, honesty, integrity and respect. Can't you see what's happening to our beloved USA?
Everyone is struggling. Small business, manufacturers, young people searching for jobs, health care, gun control, our national debt, etc., etc. Why aren't you all working together to fix the problems?
Will you please start doing your job and represent all of us? Working together would be a good start.
I?sure would like to get some answers before the next election because I?know there will be a lot more open letters stronger than mine in every newspaper in the USA.
Who is supposed to vote for us if you don't do your job? Do you care? If you do, then please convene with each party and come to terms that will help all Americans.

SOURCE Pennsylvania Office of the Governor
Spending plan includes Governor's Ready to Learn Block Grant and Ready to Succeed Scholarship
HARRISBURG, Pa., July 10, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Governor Tom Corbett today signed into law the 2014-15 state budget that invests a record $12 billion in state funding for students in Pennsylvania's early, basic and postsecondary education systems. This represents an increase of $323 million, or 2.8 percent, over last year's budget.
"I am pleased with the additional investments that this budget makes into the students of Pennsylvania" Corbett said. "This budget directs funding to areas that will support student achievement and ensure that students are prepared for postsecondary success, whether they choose to enter the workforce, further their education or enlist in the military."
Since taking office, Governor Corbett has increased funding for early, basic and postsecondary education from $10.8 billion to $11.9 billion – an increase of more than $1 billion.
Two of the Governor's landmark initiatives are included in the final budget: the Ready to Learn Block Grant for public schools and the Ready to Succeed Scholarship that provides financial assistance to middle-income students pursuing a postsecondary education.
Combined, both programs invest an additional $105 million in students.
This budget also increased funding for special education by $20 million – the first increase in six years.
Early Education
This budget affirms Governor Corbett's commitment to early education by investing $374 million into high-quality pre-kindergarten programs for Pennsylvania's youngest learners. This is an increase of $19.5 million, or 5.5 percent, over last year.
Pennsylvania Pre-K Counts would receive $97.3 million, an increase of $10 million, or 11.5 percent.
Head Start Supplemental Assistance would receive $39.1 million.
Early Intervention, which provides support for students age three to five who have developmental disabilities, would receive $237.5 million.
Since taking office, the Governor has increased funding for early education programs by $72 million, or 24 percent.
State Support of Public Schools
The enacted budget allocates more than $10 billion in state funding for support of Pennsylvania's public schools. This represents an increase of $305 million, or 3 percent, over last year.
The budget includes one of the Governor's signature education initiatives – the Ready to Learn Block Grant – that is designed to support programs and services that increase student achievement. Half of this $200 million grant would be distributed through the former Accountability Block Grant, with the remaining funding allocated through a student-focused funding formula, which includes a school's current population of students adjusted by its aid ratio, or relative wealth. The formula also includes supplemental funding for students who are English language learners and economically disadvantaged students.
Schools can use their Ready to Learn Block Grant funding to enhance learning opportunities for students through initiatives, such as:
This budget also provides $1.05 billion for special education, an increase of $20 million – the first increase in six years. This additional funding will be distributed to schools based on categories of support for students with disabilities as outlined by the Special Education Funding Commission.
Additional funding for public schools includes:
With these additional investments, total state support of public schools has increased by $1.5 billion, or 17.3 percent, since Governor Corbett took office.
Postsecondary Education
This budget also includes $1.6 billion for postsecondary education students and institutions.
To help offset the cost of postsecondary education, this budget includes $5 million for Governor Corbett's Ready to Succeed Scholarship initiative, which provides up to $2,000 to eligible students whose families earn up to $110,000.
In addition to income eligibility, students would need to demonstrate postsecondary academic merit to qualify for a scholarship in their sophomore, junior and senior year.
"This scholarship program will help to reduce the debt burden that many postsecondary education students across the commonwealth have upon graduation," Corbett said. "Oftentimes, middle-income students do not qualify for state grants and the Ready to Succeed Scholarship will change that practice by providing much-needed financial assistance to those pursuing higher education. I am pleased the General Assembly included this program in the final budget."
The Ready to Success Scholarship program would be administered by the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency and would be in addition to the $345 million included in the budget for state grants for students.
The budget also provides funding to the state-owned and state-related universities:
Pennsylvania's 14 community colleges will receive a total of $264.5 million – $215.7 million for operations and $48.9 million for capital projects. This represents an increase of $3.5 million over last year.
Public Libraries
This budget invests $61.1 million in Pennsylvania's public libraries:
"This budget provides critical resources for students to academically grow and be globally competitive," Corbett said. "Every dollar we invest in education now will benefit the state's long-term economic stability."

CSU Scholarship Programs
The California State University Foundation works with donors interested in funding scholarship opportunities on a systemwide or multi-campus basis. Currently, the CSU Foundation administers over $10 million in annual and endowed scholarships. These funds are distributed in cooperation with the campus Financial Aid offices.
Inquiries regarding the student scholarships should be directed to the Financial Aid Office at the university the student is attending. Each campus maintains a list of available scholarships including selection criteria and application procedures for the following scholarships:
CSU Trustees' Award for Outstanding Achievement
Two scholarships of $10,000, three scholarships of $6,000, one scholarship of $4,000
and seventeen $3,000 awards recognize students who have demonstrated financial
need, experienced personal hardships, and have attributes of merit, including superior
academic performance, exemplary community service, and significant personal
achievements. The awards are funded by an endowment from the William Randolph
Hearst Foundation, individual contributions from the CSU Board of Trustees, and
additional funding from the Haworth Family Trust. The recipients of the $10,000
scholarships, designated for the highest ranked students in the review process, are
named the Trustee Emeritus Ali C. Razi Scholars. The recipients of two of the $6,000
scholarships, designated for the students who have given the most to his or her home,
university or global community, are named the Trustee Emeritus Murray L. Galinson
Scholars. The recipient of a $6,000 scholarship, designated for the student who exemplifies
significant achievement both academically and in service to the community, is named the CSU
Foundation Board of Governors' Scholar, sponsored by Ronald R. Barhorst. The recipient of
the $4,000 scholarship, designated for the student representing San Jose State University, is
named the Trustee William Hauck Scholar. Campus Presidents nominate one recipient per campus.
Gregson Bautzer University Fund
Established in 1991 by Mrs. Nicola D. Bautzer, this scholarship is open only to incoming freshman students who have graduated from the California Academy of Mathematics and Science and who are continuing their education at one of the California State University campuses. The scholarship recipients are selected by the California Academy of Mathematics and Science, and awarded $2,000 per year for four years.
Glenn and Dorothy Dumke Fellowship
One $1,100 fellowship is awarded each year to a CSU graduate student at any campus pursuing a research project using the CSU archives in the area of public policy, American history, economics, archival management, or government. This fellowship was established in honor of the late Chancellor Emeritus Glenn S. Dumke and his wife, Dorothy. Dr. Dumke was Chancellor of the California State University from 1962 to 1982. The Dumke Fellowship is not being offered the 2010/2011
academic year.
Nathaniel R. and Valerie Dumont Scholarship
Six $4,000 scholarships are available to help meet the financial needs of students, particularly those with visual and physical impairments. Eligibility is limited to students attending CSU Dominguez Hills, CSU Long Beach, CSU Los Angeles and CSU Northridge.
California Society of Municipal Finance Officers
Robert M. Odell Endowed Scholarship in Public Administration
The California Society of Municipal Finance Officers established the Robert M. Odell endowed scholarship fund in April 1987 to honor the former city treasurer of Los Angeles. Four scholarships of $1,600 are awarded on a rotational basis to the seventeen campuses offering degree programs in public administration and alternate between northern and southern geographic regions of California.
Wilson C. Riles Education Scholarship
Five scholarships of $1,000 are available for first generation college students enrolled in a CSU teaching credential program. The scholarship honors Dr. Wilson C. Riles, who was the first elected African American State Superintendent of Schools in the United States. The scholarships rotate between all 23 campuses on an alphabetical basis.
Angelina Aliberti Ruggie and Lawrence L. Ruggie Endowed Scholarship
Applicants must demonstrate financial need and be satisfactorily pursuing a course of study in the humanities, including law and the field of social work, but excluding military sciences. Scholarships are awarded on a rotational basis to all 23 campuses. Two $1,300 scholarships are awarded.
Dale M. Schoettler Scholarship for Visually Impaired Students
The $6,000 award provides assistance for full-time students at CSU campuses who are declared legally blind. CSU undergraduates or graduate students in any major field are eligible with a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.8 on a 4.0 scale. The estate of Dale M. Schoettler, himself a successful businessman who was
blind, funds these scholarships.
The Financial Aid office on each campus recommends the recipients per campus.

The Herald Bulletin
FRANKTON, Ind. — Evan Hodges rushed for 146 yards and two touchdowns, and Alexandria scored 41 unanswered points to spoil head coach Otis Cress' final homecoming at Frankton with a 48-14 victory.
Hodges' scores came on runs of 20 and 5 yards in the second half as the Tigers (4-2, 2-2 Central Indiana Conference) outscored their hosts 27-0.
The game was tight for much of the first half, with Alexandria taking the lead for the first time on Blaize Kelly's 10-yard touchdown pass to Drew Johnson with 2:36 to play. That put the Tigers ahead 21-14 and was part of a huge day for both players.
Kelly completed 16 of 30 pass attempts for 265 yards and two scores. Johnson caught seven of those passes for 112 yards and one touchdown.
But it was Frankton (1-5, 0-4) that broke onto the scoreboard first.
The Eagles milked 5:45 off the clock on their opening drive, scoring on a 5-yard run by Nik Clark to go ahead 7-0. Alexandria answered less than three minutes later with a 23-yard touchdown pass from Kelly to Jonah Jerrils.
But Frankton went back in front just before the end of the period when Clark scored from 18 yards out with 29.3 seconds left.
Clark carried 17 times for 71 yards, leading a Frankton attack that amassed 146 yards on the ground overall. The Eagles gained just 41 of those yards in the second half as Alexandria took control of the contest.
The Tigers tied the score on a 3-yard run by Kelly with 5:55 left in the second quarter, then took the lead for good on the scoring strike to Johnson.
Hodges' 20-yard touchdown run put Alexandria ahead 27-14 less than three minutes into the third quarter, and the Tigers surprised Frankton with an onside kick. But the ensuing drive stalled at the Eagles' 25-yard line, and Alexandria turned the ball over on downs for the second and final time.
The Tigers never punted in the contest. Frankton freshman Jack Rogers, meanwhile, averaged a healthy 37 yards on his four punts.
The score remained at a 13-point margin for much of the third quarter until the Tigers mounted a late surge. Bryan Carter capped the drive with a 3-yard run with 1:08 remaining, and Alexandria took a commanding 34-14 lead into the final quarter.
Hodges scored from 5 yards out with 10:45 to play in the game, and freshman Dylan Downing capped the scoring with a 16-yard touchdown run with 5:06 remaining.
There was a scary moment just before the end of the first half when Frankton senior Colton Waymire went down behind the Eagles' sideline. He appeared to get his leg caught underneath the Frankton bench and was taken to a local hospital.
Early reports were Waymire suffered a broken tibia.
Alexandria hosts Madison-Grant next week. Frankton travels to Blackford.
