Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) was known for many things, most notably its roster of wrestlers penchant for being, well, extreme. It was a deep roster, too, filled with an incredible mixture of misfits and guys who would go on to become major stars in the two big companies at the time, World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and the World Wrestling Federation (WWF).
Arguably the greatest feud in the history of the promotion was Tommy Dreamer vs. Raven. They were introduced as childhood friends who broke apart and ended up competing against each other in various ways. When Raven was brought into ECW, he came in with Beulah McGillicutty, a Penthouse Pet who had a childhood crush on Dreamer but was rejected and ended up hooking up with Raven instead.
Their epic feud spanned a number of years and included many, many matches. Each and every time, however, without fail, Raven would emerge victorious. That is until this date in ECW history (June 6, 1997) when Dreamer finally defeated Raven in a Loser Leaves Town match at Wrestlepalooza in Philadelphia.
The reason for the stipulation, of course, was that Raven was headed off to WCW, which prompted early "You sold out" chants just before the match got underway. Once it did, they brawled all throughout the ECW Arena before finally heading back to the ring. It was your typical hardcore style match, with plenty of solid bumps and foreign objects used and more than a few run-ins.
After a ton of near falls, Dreamer hooked Raven for a DDT, shouted out to the crowd "E-C-Fucking-W," before delivering it to get the three count. After years of being unable to defeat his arch nemesis, Dreamer had finally done it.
This match was also memorable for the angle that happened just after it. During this time period, ECW had entered into a working agreement with the WWF, even invading Monday Night Raw in February of that year. Jerry Lawler was the most vocal critic of the "rinky dink" promotion, often referring to it as "Extremely Crappy Wrestling."
Shortly after Dreamer pinned Raven, the lights went out and when they came back up, RVD was in the ring with a steel chair and a "WWF Monday Night Raw" shirt. He attacked Dreamer but just as Tommy was about to get the best of him, the lights went out again. This time Sabu was there when they came up and he also attacked Dreamer. Again, though, Tommy overcame and nailed them both with a DDT at the same time.
But once again, the lights went out. And when they came back up, Lawler was in the ring. The crowd at the ECW Arena went absolutely bonkers while RVD and Sabu fended off all comers. "The King" proceeded to insult the arena ("This bingo hall ought to be built out of toilet paper because there's nothing in it but shit"), the fans and the entire promotion.
Finally, Tazz came out for his match against Shane Douglas and the ring cleared.
Watch the finish of the Dreamer vs. Raven match, as well as Lawler invading ECW:

So I have a question for Mike Quade this morning. Exactly what are you in the business of? Giving "respect", or winning baseball games?
Here's what Paul Sullivan wrote in the Tribune about Quade's decision to let Dempster bat in the seventh inning on Tuesday night:
Quade said he wanted to show Dempster "respect" by allowing him to hit with one out in the seventh inning, despite the fact the Cubs were losing by a run and Dempster's pitch count was high. Before the game, Quade said he would use next week's off day to get Dempster an extra start in an effort to let him try to reach the 200-inning mark.
Dempster had thrown 104 pitches through six innings, and after giving up a leadoff home run to Brandon Phillips and another double in the first, had settled down and thrown pretty well (even while walking too many guys; he wound up with six). But Dempster, although an excellent bunter, isn't a very good hitter and is having an awful year at the plate (.078 going into the game). It's really a no-brainer, in that situation, down just 2-1, to bat for Dempster.
Nope. Quade let Dempster bat. He hit a soft line drive at Phillips and after that, the Cubs would have no further baserunners and lost 2-1 to the Reds, ending their three-game winning streak.
I guess you could argue that this is a lost season and so things like this for individual players mean something. Quade also said that he's going to "try" to get Dempster enough starts to get him to 200 innings for the fourth year in a row.
That's all wonderful -- since Fergie Jenkins left the Cubs by trade after 1973, only three pitchers (Carlos Zambrano, Steve Trachsel and Rick Reuschel) have had four straight years of 200+ innings -- but I can't imagine, say, Tony LaRussa doing what Quade did. Or Bobby Cox. Or Joe Torre, or Joe Girardi, for that matter. Those men wanted to win, no matter what. If Quade bats for Dempster in that situation and the PH gets a hit and starts a rally, maybe the Cubs win the game, and Dempster gets a "win", though those don't have as much meaning for individual pitchers as they used to.
To me, it's just another symptom of this management style. Players come first. The team seems to come second. Wins almost seem secondary to giving players "respect".
Ryan Dempster is a great guy. He works hard and has done terrific charitable work and all his teammates seem to like him. But you'd think he'd rather win the game than throw one more inning.
Maybe the Cubs wouldn't have won anyway; Mike Leake was outstanding against them again Tuesday night. The Cubs couldn't hit with RISP (1-for-7) and the only run scored on a double play, after they got runners on first and third with nobody out.
But I think you have to do whatever you can to win when the situation presents itself. The Cubs didn't on Tuesday night. I will be glad when that mindset changes.

Rivera was THE stud when I was a kid watching Cal football. I got his autograph numerous times. If memory serves, the big question was whether he or Jack Del Rio was the best Pac-10 linebacker. USC ran a fake punt, hiked it to JDR, who was quickly tackled by...........Big Ron. Case closed.

Assessing the impact of the National Agricultural Advisory Services (NAADS) in the Uganda rural livelihoods:
Abstract"The National Agricultural Advisory Services (NAADS) program of Uganda is an innovative public-private extension service delivery approach, with the goal of increasing market oriented agricultural production by empowering farmers to demand and control agricultural advisory services. Although initial evaluations of NAADS have been quite favourable, these evaluations have been primary qualitative in nature. This study quantifies the initial impacts of NAADS in the districts and sub-counties where the program was operating by 2005. It is based on descriptive analyses of results of a survey of 116 farmer groups and 894 farmers in sixteen districts where the program was operating at the time and four districts where NAADS had not yet begun operating to control for factors that may have contributed to differing initial conditions among the communities. Based on observed differences across the NAADS and non-NAADS sub-counties, it appears that the NAADS program is having substantial positive impacts on the availability and quality of advisory services provided to farmers, promoting adoption of new crop and livestock enterprises as well improving adoption and use of modern agricultural production technologies and practices. NAADS also appears to have promoted greater use of post-harvest technologies and commercial marketing of commodities, consistent with its mission to promote more commercially-oriented agriculture. Despite positive effects of NAADS on adoption of improved production technologies and practices, no significant differences were found in yield growth between NAADS and non-NAADS sub-counties for most crops, reflecting the still low levels of adoption of these technologies even in NAADS sub-counties, as well as other factors affecting productivity. However, NAADS appears to have helped farmers to avoid the large declines in farm income that affected most farmers between 2000 and 2004, due more to encouraging farmers to diversify into profitable new farming enterprises such as groundnuts, maize and rice than to increases in productivity caused by NAADS. NAADS appears to be having more success in promoting adoption of improved varieties of crops and some other yield enhancing technologies than in promoting improved soil fertility management. This raises concern about the sustainability of productivity increases that may occur, since such increases may lead to more rapid soil nutrient mining unless comparable success in promoting improved soil fertility management is achieved. Continued emphasis on improving the market environment, promoting adoption of more remunerative crop enterprises, and applied agronomic research identifying more effective ways to profitably combine inorganic and organic soil fertility measures in different crop systems can help to address this problem. Shortage of capital and credit facilities was often cited by farmers as a critical constraint facing them, in addition to scarcity of agricultural inputs, lack of adequate farmland, unfavorable weather patterns and problems of pests and diseases. These emphasize that the quality of advisory services is not the only important factor influencing technology adoption and productivity, and the need for complementary progress in other areas, especially development of the rural financial system. Implications are drawn for enterprise targeting and ensuring sustainability of improvements in productivity, as well as for designing and implementing service provision programs in other parts of the Uganda and in other countries." from Author's Abstract

Some NH parents would welcome law to keep kids in car, booster seats longer
Michelle Langlois of Manchester demonstrates how she buckles up her daughter, Natalie. State legislators are considering hiking the age for keeping kids in child-restraint seats. (DAVID LANE/UNION LEADER)
Car seat guidelinesBirth to 12 months: Keep child in a rear-facing car seat.
1 to 3 years: Keep child in a rear-facing car seat as long as possible. Once the child reaches the top height or weight limit set by the seat manufacturer, the kid should ride in a forward-facing car seat with a harness.
4 to 7 years: Keep child in a forward-facing seat with a harness until the child reaches the top height or weight limit. Then it's time for a booster seat for the back seat.
8 to 12 years: Keep child in a booster seat until the child is large enough to fit in a seatbelt properly. That means the belt should fit snugly across the upper thighs, not the stomach. The shoulder belt should be snug across the shoulder and chest, not crossing the neck or face. Child should ride in back seat because it's safer.
Source: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
"I always think the longer, the better," she said.
But she would like the law to go even further. "I would strongly urge height and weight (be included)," she said. "Every child is built differently."
Unlike Maine, New Hampshire doesn't include a weight requirement in its law, according to Pat Moody, manager of public affairs for AAA Northern New England. He testified before a House committee last month.
Moody said the original bill, which he supported, sought to raise the minimum age from the current 6 to age 8, but a House committee last month approved an amendment making it age 7. New Hampshire is one of 18 states that doesn't require booster seats for children between 7 and 8, he said.
But not everybody was sold on changing the minimum age, since for decades parents didn't face such restrictions.
"I don't know how we ever lived," said Brenda Sirois, a retired nurse and current care giver at Tumbleweeds Child Care Inc. in Manchester. "We all should have been dead and thrown out of cars."
She said height and weight should dictate seat requirements.
"The difference between kids is quite amazing, Sirois said. "Some of them, they're just too big for it."
The House last Wednesday voted 224-137 to require parents to use a child restraint system for any kid younger than age 7, rather than the current age of 6. Under House Bill 242, any child reaching 56 inches in height would be exempted, an inch taller than current law. The bill still needs approval in the Senate and the governor's signature.
House Minority Leader Gene Chandler voted against raising the age.
"I think the present law seemed to have worked," he said. "We don't need to tinker with it."
But unlike some colleagues, he said, "I do believe there is a place for having the present law."
Gov. Maggie Hassan's spokesman, Marc Goldberg said: "The governor supports measures to keep our children as safe as possible, including through the use of proper safety measures in vehicles, and she looks forward to hearing from stakeholders and fully evaluating the legislation to update current New Hampshire child safety laws as it is considered by the Senate,"
Goffstown police Capt. Rob Browne likes the proposed change.
"Anything that keeps the kids safe," he said. "We're probably pulling them out a little too early."
The department has two car seat technicians who install car seats and inspect car seats parents placed in their vehicles. About 30 people set up appointments last year, he said.
Manchester firefighter Ryan Lang, one of the department's three car seat technicians, said he would leave it up to legislators to decide. People can make appointments to have their seat installed or inspected. The department conducted 132 inspections and installations last year. (Parents can check with their local fire or police department to see if they offer assistance.)
Lang said some parents "bring the box" for technicians to install the seat. People sometimes install seats and leave too much sliding movement or don't get the correct seat angle. He urged parents to fill out a slip that comes in the car seat box. That form is for a warranty and any future recall notifications, Lang said.
Nina Cullen, owner of the children's store, Nini Bambini in Bedford, sees lots of young children coming into her store carried in car seats.
"The older we can keep them in (a seat) the better," she said. "Some kids you'll find are in booster seats until they're in the third or fourth grade."

Ex-Titans and Broncos OC Mike Heimerdinger (58) has died (Saturday), as a result of the cancer that was discovered last November. When it was discovered, Heimerdinger delayed treatment so he could call plays for the Titans that Sunday against the Texans. He didn't miss a game all season, as he underwent chemotherapy. He was Redskins HC Mike Shannhan's college roommate, and his OC in the Super Bowl years with the Broncos.
Ex-Cowboys WR Pete Gent (69) died Friday of a pulmonary illness. Though he had aa around 65 catch season in the mid 60's (that's about like an 80 or 90 catch season today), he's best remembered for his autobiographical novel "North Dallas Forty" in 1973. It was made into a movieof the same name in 1979, starring Nick Nolte (as Pete Gent) and singer Mac Davis (as QB Dandy Don). His book blew the lid off drug use in the NFL, and how much injured players were pressured to just shoot up, and go play when they had even serious injuries. Oddly Gent never played college football, being drafted by the NBA's Baltimore Bullets, but chose a tryout with the Cowboys that would pay him $500.

Theme: Globalization
El Segundo, CA, United States
June 21st, 2012
About this event
The TEDxManhattanBeach Organizer is just back from TEDxSummit in Doha, Qatar and his mind is focused on the impact of Globalization on our world. Here are some interesting quotes about globalization.
"You've got to have a healthy sense of patriotism; that's absolutely important, but … this world has changed fundamentally, and the problems that we have cannot be solved by one nation and one nation alone." Gordon Brown, Former British Prime Minister.
"English is big business and languages are dying as never before. Is there a connection? Is this another manifestation of McDonaldisation – the undesirable face of globalization? Do we want to lose the variety of languages and all the rich culture that comes with them?" Patricia Ryan.
"What I'm really worried about is war. Will the former rich countries really accept a completely changed world economy, and a shift of power away from where it has been the last 50 to 100 to 150 years, back to Asia?", Hans Rosling.
Come and share your thoughts about the changes that will happen as a result of globalization.

Medicare amnesia afflicts Dems
by skeptic06, Tue Feb 28, 2006 at 08:37:25 AM EST
One reads in the Post (albeit on A13 on the dead-tree) a straightish half dozen or so grafs saying that Democrats are stepping up their attacks on the Medicare drug benefit.
It was a ghastly piece of corporate welfare, to be paid for by a carefully selected group of the most vulnerable Americans. And everyone who was paying the least attention knew this at the time. A thoroughly corrupt piece of business, even if completely legal.
Leading the charge for the Dems in the Senate is, one reads, Dorgan of ND, who organised (unipartisan) hearings yesterday to which he
invited a Fargo pharmacist to describe day-to-day problems, including how some pharmacists must take out bank loans to cover reimbursement delays. "This is simply unacceptable," Dorgan said.
Readers of the Post piece might be surprised to learn that Dorgan himself was one of the Dem senators without whose support this monstrosity of a bill would have died.
As I've mentioned here, but cannot state often enough, a total of 22 Dem senators decided that thirty pieces of pharma/insurance silver (well, a little more than that at current prices!) were sufficient salve to their consciences (if any) to justify a vote for cloture on that wretched bill.
Do they understand the meaning of the word hypocrite in North Dakota? (We know they don't in DC!)
Couldn't they, perhaps, have asked one of the 26 Dem senators who stood in the way of the enactment of this abortion to chair the hearings into its perfectly foreseeable dismal outcome?
Might not someone on the GOP team have spotted Dorgan's delicate situation? Surely, beneficiaries would be comforted to know just how thoroughly bipartisan the whole thing was?
Bipartisan. Just like World War 2. Hands across the aisle. Congress pulling together. Today's Greatest Generation...
And an old, old friend is on hand to supply the kicker:
"Nobody said this was going to be easy," said Rep. Rahm Emanuel...
Just for the record, arguably it wasn't only nearly half the Dem Senate party who chose gelt over good government to let the Medicare bill survive: on the numbers, House Dems could have killed the bill, but didn't.
(DeLay was certainly using catch-and-release. What about the Dems? You might assume DeLay had more trained seals in his pool; but the list of Dem nays contains more than one name which has appeared on the wrong side of votes on, say, the 'death tax' bill.)

News: N.O.R.E. Pleads W/ Fans To Not Cop "S.O.R.E." LP, "That's Not My Real Album" [Video]
Sunday, Sep 13, 2009 9:49AM
CNN's N.O.R.E. has informed fans about his upcoming S.O.R.E. (Still On The Run Eating) album not being put together by himself and said they should not go out to support the project which drops next week.
Speaking in an interview during his Birthday Bash, N-O-R-E broke the news about his feelings towards the project.
"Do not buy that album coming out on Tuesday," NORE said in an interview. "F*ck that sh*t! That's not my real album, f*ck that. That's not it, I'll announce it on the Internet or let people know, but that's not it." (SOBE Live)
The compilation album reportedly has 14 cuts and special guest appearances.
Tracklisting: 1. Take Ya Face Off 2. Get It In (Say What) 3. Move 4. My Girl Gangsta 5. Good Day 6. Set Trip 7. By Myself 8. On & On 9. Shorty Look Good 10. Phone Call 2 Heaven 11. Body In The Trunk 12. I Wasn't Wrong 13. Fake N*gga 14. Letter 2 Noriega **Raekwon, Bun B, Jim Jones, Nina Sky, Sean Kingston and T-Pain are confirmed to be on the album. (Hip Hop N More)
Nore previously took to his personal blog to share a fear of releasing his upcoming album and to explain the difficulties with finding a suitable record label.
"I sometimes think what's up wit this music business," Nore wrote unmodified. "I'm glad to be able to survive in such a terrible genre!!! I love making music for fans I love seeing someone and they say I love that record, album or mixtape!!! It's the best feeling n the world!!! But the worst feeling in the world is when you make a hit record that you know is a hit and nobody hears it or you drop an album nobody knows it's out!!! There's nothing worst in the world then going through that!!!! I just made the dopeest album of my career!!! And I'm honestly scared to let it out!!! Why now should I due so? I need the belief in a record label that I just don't have right now!!! It's very scary!!! Bare with me as I figure it out!!! I need a change, a reinvention, something I will figure it out!!!! (57th Ave)
The rapper's joint album with Capone got off to a quiet start earlier this year.
Capone-n-Noreaga's Channel 10 got off to a bumpy start landing at No. 136. After seven days on store shelves, the project has sold 4,100 copies. (SOHH Sales Wrap)

Did HTC Sense fall off a cliff?
Just 3-4 years ago, HTC Sense was the king of them all. Back when Android was still on 2.x, there were many custom UIs. Samsung TouchWiz, Sony Timescape, Motorola Motoblur, LG Optimus UI and many more. And yet, among reviewers, Sense was always the preferred UI. Its polished look and feel, cool animations and bevy of changes to certain applications such as Mail made Sense an overall experience.
And yet, when HTC updated Sense to version 3, many felt that they weren't doing enough. There was a bevy of updates. Quick access to apps on lock screen, even cooler animations. But beyond that, Sense wasn't doing much to keep up with Samsung's TouchWiz.
In 2012, HTC updated Sense to version 4. It was a very different experience. A completely redesigned interface, new app designs and many more. It was a much bigger update than 3.0, but I still felt that 4.0 was a disappointing update. That same year, Samsung added a smattering amount of new features to TouchWiz Nature UX on the GS3. It was colorful, fast, easy to use and overall, just plain better. It was at this point that I started to prefer TouchWiz over Sense.
One year later, the pressure was on HTC to bring back Sense to the glory it once held. Sense 5 tried. And disappointingly, it failed. Why? There were features that nobody every used. BlinkFeed, a merged client of your social media, messages and RSS feeds. Everyone who had done so had failed in the past. Why did HTC even try and tout this as a MAJOR feature? Then, the app drawer. Sure, it was cool and all, but why did anyone, ANYONE, every feel the need for a new app drawer? Android already has a perfectly good app drawer.
And this brings us to the point: Why didn't HTC spend their time more wisely and use the team whoever designed these things to work on actually useful things? This is the same problem with Samsung, why did ANYONE feel the need to include the ability to control your phone without touching it? Move your damn hand 1 inch closer to the screen and problem solved. This even wastes battery!
As such, it begs the question: What do you think killed Sense off?

I purchased this phone couple of months back and wanted to post a review from long. One should buy this phone only if s/he likes to get a gist of android, as we cant expect the great performance on this phone.

Saw so many reviews criticizing A60 for its poor battery backup. My dad owns a Samsung Galaxy Fit (worth Rs. 10000), which also suffers from the same. I installed him task killer apps, some customization, and now his battery lasts for a complete day, given that he talks more time. Basically Android will be loaded with many apps which cause the battery to drain fast. If we turn off unnecessary apps, every thing will just be fine. For Rs. 4400, you cannot expect to have a HTC or Lumia. A60 is the best buy in the market. For Rs. 4000, you get a touch screen, Android, 600 MHz processor, 3G 7.2M... (Expand)

Springfield city councilors announced a new 10-member special safety committee Monday. The committee is made up of educators, school committee members, city councilors, parents and a tactical response team member will be overseeing school safety throughout the city of Springfield.
"Everything is on the table when it comes to protecting our school children, and we will be looking at everything to make our schools the safest in the country," said Springfield City Council President James Ferrera. "We can no longer have the attitude that Sandy Hook Elementary or Newtown could not happen in our community."
The recent tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School, as well as the apparent drowning of 12-year-old Kiley Middle School student Marlon Brown, has prompted the formation of this group.
"There's never too much that we can do when it comes to the safety of our children and our people who work in the school for the benefit of the children," said Safety Committee member Dr. Bobby Rennix.
The committee will be reviewing everything from buzzers to enter schools to bulletproof glass to the use of school IDs. The group will seek input from students as well as teachers and staff to work to keep Springfield schools as safe as they can be.
"We want to protect not only our students, but also our teachers, and employees, and custodians, janitors, everybody that works under that umbrella," said City Councilor Bud Williams.

This is from earlier in the day at the Presidents Cup, where Jason Dufner looks really worried and interested in what his International opponents are doing.
Just getting a quick bite and some energy before he heads out for a grueling match? Enhance.
This was all done on the first tee, where this bogus tone of formality lingers with commissioner Tim Finchem and President George W. Bush blessing the players as they head out.
It probably doesn't match the record-holder from his round at the PGA Championship, but Dufner deals with stress however he wants. An Auburn man and his vice. WDE.

It was a mash-up of David's presentations around organizational storytelling and my music team building program. The underlying motivation for David and myself to do the program was our friendship. We thought it would be a good chance to hang out while doing some experimental speechifying! We were right on both counts. We had fun in Denver, made new friends and our speaking presentation was so cool that ASTD invited us back.

Family, denomination, and the adolescent world view: an empirical enquiry among 13- to 15-year-old girls in England and Wales
Francis, Leslie J.. (2008) Family, denomination, and the adolescent world view: an empirical enquiry among 13- to 15-year-old girls in England and Wales. Marriage & Family Review, Vol.43 (No.3-4). pp. 185-204. ISSN 0149-4929

Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/01494920802072413
The present study draws on a large survey of 16,581 13- to 15-year-old girls representative of the school population in England and Wales to examine the power of family denominational affiliation to predict the adolescent world view. World view was illustrated by reference to nine areas: personal well-being, worries, counseling, school, social concern, religious beliefs, paranormal beliefs, sexual morality, and attitudes toward substances. Comparisons were made between those who claimed no religious affiliation and those who claimed affiliation as Anglicans, Roman Catholics, Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterians, Pentecostals, and Jehovah's Witnesses. The data demonstrated that each of these seven denominational groups offered a distinctive profile in areas of personal and social importance. These findings were interpreted as offering support for views advanced in Canada by Bibby, in Australia by Bouma, and in the United Kingdom by Fane regarding the continuing social significance of religious and denominational affiliation and as offering critique of the British Government's decision not to include denominational subdivision of the Christian category within the 2001 census conducted in England and Wales.

Hey, all.
Long time lurker, first time poster.
I fell in love with the Cubs and Wrigley as a kid in the late 80's. WGN pumped games into my home after school and on summer days by the lake when it's too hot to be outside down here (Arkansas).
Anyways, none of that matters, really. i was just wondering what anyone here thinks about going after Rick Porcello? He's young, he's relatively healthy, and he's got good stuff. I would be reticent to give up much for him, but I'd like to have his arm.
Between him, Shark, Arrieta, Edwin, and New Wood (my nickname for fellow Arkie, Travis) you'd have a decent...if not above average rotation. Provided Arrieta and Edwin can throw fewer pitches and walk a few less.
You would then be able to put Rusin, Villanueva, Parker (another Arkie), Strop, hopefully Vizcaino, in the pen and have a battle for the 2 other spots available.
Anyone have any further thoughts on this matter?

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - The speculation finally comes to an end Thursday night as the NFL Draft gets underway. For months talk has circulated around former University of Louisville quarterback Teddy Bridgewater. First, he was the number one pick. Now, a few analysts have him not making the first round.
It's stirred up a lot of discussion, but the person who doesn't seem to be rattled by it is Bridgewater himself. The future NFL player seems to take it all in stride and was more concerned about doing something special for his mom this week on her birthday.

In January, an ESPN analyst said of Bridgewater, "He's a very intelligent quarterback. He can beat you inside the pocket with his accuracy."
Nationally and locally, Teddy is still the talk.
"He's going to be the last guy to leave the film room, but he has one shaky pro day," said Dave Jennings, one of the hosts of the sports talk radio show Afternoon Underdogs on 790 KRD.
A caller said of Bridgewater, "Jon Gruden ate him up, I mean he loved Teddy." Tony Vanetti, co-host of Afternoon Underdogs, chimed in, "It's interesting to see how he's fallen off the board." Then Vanetti asked, "or has he?"
It depends on who you listen to.
Bridgewater, who some NFL analysts picked as the number one pick months ago, now has others saying he may have fallen out of the first round.
This week, ESPN The Magazine made Bridgewater their cover boy asking if he's worth a first round pick? The answer was also on the cover. A resounding yes with the question, "Does a bear ___ (you know ___ in the woods)?"
It has fans sounding off on sports radio talk shows like Afternoon Underdogs. Another caller said of Bridgewater, "I think he's going to be fine and I think he'll be in the top 15."
"Teddy makes the non-spectacular NFL throws," Jennings added, "he doesn't have the fancy highlight reel that Johnny Manziel has, but I think he has more NFL ability as a rookie."
While the NFL certainly takes talented troublemakers like Manziel, a laundry list of shenanigans does not come with Bridgewater.
"I think if you have two identical players and then you have one that's a knucklehead and one that's like a Teddy Bridgewater, who's a 4.0 student, graduates in three years and all that, yes it does make a difference!" said Vanetti.
Bridgewater's character is showcased by nearly everyone who saw him grow up in Spike Lee's documentary that's lighting up social media, A Promise to Rose. In it, a former mentor says of Bridgewater, "He was always a student first, he was an athlete second." Another added, "He knew the playbook that had like 100 and something plays."
Along with the Cadillac division of General Motors, Lee helped Bridgewater fulfill a promise he made to his mom Rose when he was 9 years old - a gift of a pink Cadillac Escalade. The fact that the player was his mom's biggest supporter through breast cancer only made the color more special. In the film, Rose is surprised by the gift and says, "You did all this for real?" He tells his mother and best friend, "I love you so much." It was a great birthday and Mother's Day present all rolled into one.
Most people we heard from believe Bridgewater will go in the first round. We'll see what happens when the draft begins May 8.

SHALLOTTE—Firefighters stood at attention in the truck bay of the new fire station Thursday, receiving commendations from their chief and town staff.
It was the first-ever achievement ceremony for the Shallotte firefighters and Fire Corps members, but it won't be the last, officials say.
Fire chief Paul Dunwell, Mayor Pro Tem Buddy Kelly and town administrator Paul Sabiston honored all the firefighters—full- and part-time, volunteers and paid staff—with achievement certificates.
SHALLOTTE—Aldermen have approved allowing the town administrator to amend the 2007-2008 budget up to $5,000 to balance the outgoing spending plan as necessary.
The board met Tuesday evening for its pre-agenda meeting, during which they also approved final tax releases for fiscal year 2007-2008.
In other business, the board heard from town administrator Paul Sabiston about possible traffic options for the new Food Lion planned for South Willis Drive and Sellers Street.
Sunset Beach's island boat ramp has closed.
The privately owned boat access on the island causeway was to remain open through summer, but was closed last week to make way for construction of the new $32 million, 65-foot-tall Intracoastal Waterway bridge. It should be complete by the end of 2010.
Boaters may use the boat ramp at Ocean Isle Beach as an alternative.
The town of Sunset Beach has been negotiating the possible purchase of property for a boat ramp on the mainland side of town near the current pontoon bridge.
Sunset Beach Town Council will have its monthly meeting at 7 p.m. Monday, June 30, to vote on the town's proposed budget, which takes effect July 1.
No new tax increase is being projected for the 2008-2009 fiscal year budget.
The tax rate for the proposed $5,785,436 budget is 9.5 cents per $100 of valuation, compared to the current 11.5 cents.
The new, lesser rate is expected to cover all of the town's projected operating anad maintenance expenses and capital expenditures while returning $200,000 to the fund balance.
Two of the coaches this summer for the Southwest Trojans baseball team bring a unique perspective. Stuart Champion and Brett Hickman played on the West Brunswick High School baseball team that won the Class 3A state championship in 2004.
The memory of that season is still fresh in their thoughts, and Champion and Hickman say that season has valuable lessons for these Trojans, a junior American Legion team of West Brunswick ballplayers, many of whom will be on the high school varsity next year.
GREENSBORO—Monica Young and her East All-Star soccer team failed to win the gold medal Sunday in the State Games, losing 2-0 to the South, but she left the competition with a sense of accomplishment.
The Southwest Trojans swept Southwest Onslow in a doubleheader Saturday. Earlier in the week, the Trojans beat Whiteville 6-4. The Trojans are 11-2 as they enter the final games of the regular season, set to end July 2. Game summaries are below.
Trojans 12, 7
S.W. Onslow 1, 4
The Southwest Trojans swept Southwest Onslow 12-2 and 7-4 in two Junior American Legion baseball games Saturday.
LELAND—Another powerful hitting attack enabled Brunswick County Post 68 to beat Jacksonville Post 265 15-5 in eight innings June 18.
Ryan Waldrep (2-0) was the winning pitcher.
First reported at 10:15 a.m. Monday, June 23
Jury selection will begin Tuesday morning for the trial of a Supply man accused of kidnapping and raping two teenage girls from Ocean Isle Beach in 2001.
Forty-nine-year-old Larry Raynor is accused of kidnapping two girls, then 15-and-16-years-old, from the east end of Ocean Isle Beach, where they were vacationing in June 2001.
The Brunswick Beacon does not identify victims of sexual assault.
One person fishing in the Jolly Mon fishing tournament has died.
Officials with the U.S. Coast Guard have confirmed two people were recovered from the water Saturday. One person was later pronounced dead. Coast Guard officials would not release the name of the victim or the survivor, saying they had to wait until the next of kin had been notified.
Brant McMullan, organizer of the Jolly Mon Fishing Tournament said this is the first fatality of the Ocean Isle Beach-based tournament since it began in 1992.

BJP appeals to Rajinikanth for support in polls
By Express News Service - TIRUCHY
Published: 14th September 2013 08:16 AM
Last Updated: 14th September 2013 08:16 AM
BJP state president Pon Radhakrishnan on Friday appealed to actor Rajnikanth to voice in favour of the party in the upcoming parliament election for the welfare of the country.
"He is the most responsible and respected person in the state and he has concerns for the nation in general and the state in particular", said Radhakrishnan while speaking to mediapersons.
He said, "I issue an open appeal to the actor to take a good decision and voice in favour of the party", the state president said when asked whether the party would approach popular personalities to support for the party during the campaign.
Radhakrishan was here to inspect the ongoing works for the scheduled youth wing conference venue at G- Corner where the BJP Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi is to address the youth from the state. Radhakrishnan inspected the stage resembling the Red Fort which has three platforms. The middle platform would accommodate 10 VVIPs including Modi and party president Rajnath Singh, while other leaders would be seated in the side platforms, Radhakrishnan told the media persons.
Claiming that the state youth wing conference would become a turning point in State politics, he said that at least 1.50 lakh youth would participate the meeting for which applications were being distributed.
"So far about 50,000 persons registered through online and most of them did not belong to the party. Applications were distributed a few days ago and we expect at least one lakh youth to receive them", he said.
The one hour programme would start at 3 pm. Stating that the count down for the elections would start as soon as the youth wing conference commenced, Radhakrishnan said the election campaign works would subsequently start. There was enormous support for Modi in the state, he said.
He also said the party is ready to accept the support of political parties that come forward to support BJP in the election.

The Rapture recently shared "How Deep Is Your Love?," the first album track from In The Grace Of Your Love, along with Emperor Machine's remix of the track via Adult Swim (downloads for both below!). Now, we're excited to share the news of The Rapture's first full U.S. tour in support of the album, which will see them on the road from late September through October!
The band has set the bar high with the first track, but this is just the beginning. Produced by Philippe Zdar (Phoenix, Beastie Boys, Chromeo), the writing and recording process for In The Grace Of Your Love connected the band back to why they started playing music in the first place. Drummer Vito Roccoforte explains that they "focused on the process more than the results. We approached the album in a fearless manner, with nothing to lose." By recapturing the fun and love for the process, the results were definitely a win.

We certainly set out running and we took our time! Once the board determined who was to receive it, consensus was unanimous.
The Rex Foundation is pleased to award Jorma Kaukonen the 2009 Ralph J. Gleason Award for a scholarship program at Fur Peace Ranch to serve Appalachian youth. The $10,000 award is in memory of music journalist Ralph J. Gleason, a major figure in the advancement of music in America in the 1960s, whose openness to new music and ideas transcended differences between generations and styles.
Founding Rex board member, Jerry Garcia, and guitarist Jorma Kaukonen were peers in the Haight Ashbury days of 1960s San Francisco. Their respective bands, Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane, exemplified the San Francisco Sound. Both musicians were pickers, that is they loved to play. Jerry and Jorma both taught guitar. Jerry gave lessons at Dana Morgan's Music Store in Menlo Park near Palo Alto south of San Francisco. Jorma continues to teach at the 116 acre Fur Peace Ranch which he and wife Vanessa created in South Ohio on the edge of Appalachia. According to Jorma, "Fur Peace Ranch is a ranch that grows guitar players." Classes and workshops are held throughout the summers with instructors who are also world class musicians. Fur Peace Ranch accommodates budding musicians of all skill levels. Jorma Kaukonen continues to perform with fellow musician, Jack Casady, in Hot Tuna.
The Rex Foundation gratefully acknowledges the contribution Jorma has made to a vast community of music lovers, musicians and underserved youth who will continue to be nurtured with this award.
Furthering what the Grateful Dead started 26 years ago, the Rex Foundation endeavors to fund grassroots programs that are often under the radar of larger funding entities, yet work in bold, innovative ways to carry out essential work toward a healthy environment, promotion of the arts, protection of indigenous cultures, assisting others less fortunate, building strong communities and educating children and adults everywhere. The Rex Foundation has distributed $8.6 million in grants to over 1,000 program across the U.S. and internationally, while also carrying out initiatives that foster creativity and positive community connections.
Jorma Kaukonen's Fur Peace Ranch will host multi-faceted performer, guitarist, and songwriter David Gans Friday, September 28 through Monday, October 1 for a series of intimate instructional sessions on electric and acoustic guitar looping techniques.
"I got the loop device as a way of enriching my solo performances," Gans explains. "I wanted to be able to record the chord changes of the song so I could play a guitar solo over top. But once I had that thing on the floor in front of me, I began to explore the creative possibilities. Now I'm able to improvise multi-layered musical structures onstage - and some of them become compositions after I get them into the studio for editing and analysis."
This first-hand workshop provides instruction in the use of a loop device as both an accompaniment for singer-songwriters and for the creation of multi-layered improvisations. Participating students need to bring a guitar that plugs in (acoustic or electric), and a Boss RC-20XL or RC-2 Loop Station.
For his live performances, Gans equips himself only with his sturdy baritone, a guitar and a pedal-controlled looping setup, the sum of which sounds anything but unaccompanied. Aside from these "solo" performances, Gans has performed with such legendary artists as Phil Lesh, Railroad Earth, Donna the Buffalo, New Riders of the Purple Sage, The String Cheese Incident, moe. and dozens of others. He has also written songs with a host of others, including Jim Page, Lorin Rowan, and Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter.
Conceived in 1989 by Jorma & Vanessa Kaukonen, The Fur Peace Ranch is nestled in the rolling foothills of southeast Ohio. Over time it has evolved into an idyllic landscape of neatly arrayed cabins, workshop space, library, store, dining hall, plus a theater that hosts concerts performed by world-class musicians.

A Clayton County, Georgia, police officer has been arrested and placed on administrative leave following a road rage incident where he allegedly tailgated a woman in her car before following her into a parking lot, where he called her a "low life piece of [expletive] n*gger," and then spit on her.
Police officer Thomas Sheats faces charges of simple battery, simple assault and disorderly conduct, according to WSB-TV.
According to police, Sheats tailgated a car driven by Michele Griffith, 27, for miles, blowing his horn, swerving from side to side, and bumping her vehicle from behind with his truck.
Griffith said that after she pulled into a parking lot, where she was going to get pizza, Sheats approached her car screaming at her
"'Why the [expletive] you going 35 miles per hour on a 45 mile per hour road'," Griffith said Sheats yelled at her.
After telling him that he could have gone around her, the off-duty police officer exploded in anger.
"'I couldn't pass, you low life piece of [expletive] n*gger' … and (he) spit on me," Griffith said.
According to Griffith , Sheats was screaming so loud that patrons came out of some of the stores and attempted to block his truck in until police arrived. Witnesses told police they heard Sheats cursing and using the n-word, and one witness saw him spit on the woman.
Sheats, who was not in uniform at the time of the incident, got back into his truck and drove away but not before witnesses wrote down his license plate number and snapped pictures of his truck.
Tristan Holt, who works at the pizza parlor saw the whole incident.
"He was in her face the entire time," Holt told WSB. "It was wrong, everything he did was wrong, in my opinion."
WSB reports that Sheats was arrested two years ago for domestic violence, and is now on unpaid administrative leave while Internal Affairs investigates the incident.

[From the FanPosts, you gotta love Rick's spirit to not give in to the tired narrative that no star player in the NBA would consider joining a solid Pacers team, so I heartily endorse this effort. After all, when Deron Williams was a free agent, er recruit coming out of high school he did choose Champaign, IL. - TL]
Hey guys, I posted this in the comments of another post as well, but I wanted to create a separate FanPost as well. So, I keep hearing Williams wouldn't want to come here, but why not try?? He would take us to another level and we/he could compete for a championship for years to come. So, if he doesn't know much about Indy or just isn't even considering it, let's get his attention!!! This is all assuming Bird is planning to at least try to go after him, but let's show our support for this team and him as a player. I created a facebook page to act as a petition to show Williams our support...if you are on board, head to this page and "like" it!


text: Hey guys, athleticsperson01 here, and this week I kind of want to go in a different direction. Instead of talking about what players the A's should get, I want to talk about a certain person. I'm not saying this at all to negatively hurt Lew Wolff in anyway, personally, just how he's doing his job as employee/owner of the A's. Ever since the dinosaurs roamed the Earth, the A's are looking for a new, updated, awesome stadium, to get away from the hideous dump that is O.co Coliseum. Pushing that aside for now, the green and gold has had recent success winning two straight AL West titles (2012-2013.) Heck, this is the home of the group of guys that won 3 consecutive world series titles (1972-1974.) To an A's fan, they would be like,"Why would you want to move away from all the history, and all those great moments?" Back to Lew Wolff, in his head watching all this success in 2012, and this year, he's probably half thinking "This isn't supposed to happen! We're supposed to be this team everybody can beat upon!" Secretly, while being interviewed he hides all this anger, and is just shocked, being replaced by this positive, happy guy wearing this fake mask. Is San Jose the better location, though? Positives, the A's host an All-Star Game in the sometime future. Airtime on ESPN? The Marlins got that. New uniforms. Obviously. New mascot? An elephant should still work in a supposed waterfront ballpark. The list could go on and on. Negative, for people like me that live in a small city in the East Bay, it'll be a longer commute to see the San Jose A's, as it would be hard for some other folks. Positives for staying in Oakland? Another year as the Oakland A's, cheering on the green and gold. It's all how you look at it. Thanks again guys for reading and all comments are welcome!

The Interactive Advertising Bureau has issued a "Primer" to set standards and guidelines for content marketing.
The Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) is trying once more to step into the game to moderate another type of format used by marketers and agencies in their consumer campaigns: content marketing.
Two weeks ago, the IAB made an attempt to set standards and rules for native advertising, a subset of content marketing. Today, the topic is content marketing itself; the IAB's task force issued a 'Primer,' setting out the basics of content marketing – what, for whom and how.
Content Marketing Clarity
First, a definition is offered.
"Content Marketing is the marketing technique of creating and distributing relevant and valuable content to attract, acquire and engage a clearly defined and understood target audience," with the intent "to provide useful, educational, or entertaining information on its own merit, without a call to action," the Primer reads.
Meaning, it has to be user-centric and bring added value to the end-user, who in turn will engage with the brand without being prompted to do anything.
"The only way content marketing can grow and thrive is to put the consumer first while it's still relatively early in its evolution," commented Michael Lebowitz, CEO of digital creative agency Big Spaceship.
Content marketing can be used across all three marketing channels: owned, paid and earned media. Content can be original, repurposed and curated.
Interestingly enough, Lebowitz, who also chairs the IAB advisory board, called the Primer "valuable, but fairly topline." While the IAB has focused on providing a definition, Lebowitz was insistent on how "important it is to have a definition of terms so all the parties – ad tech, creative agency, media agency, publisher and brand – can speak a common language."
Consumers First?
Content marketing involves groups of populations: publishers/brands, advertisers and consumers (in that order for the IAB – which may highlight a very interesting editorial bias right there, as it is in contradiction to their stated necessity for this specific topic to have the consumer first).
Publishers get to add extra content on a site while monetizing it via paid native ad units, sponsored story features, custom publishing editions, content recommendation widgets, and co-branding.
Advertisers get to engage and to score higher-than-ever ROIs by using a format that is all at once non-invasive, value accretive and engaging.
On the other side of the mirror, consumers are at the receiving end of all three elements above. Largely echoing Lebowitz's comments, the Primer states that with content marketing, "consumers feel they are in the driver's seat on what content they consume. Consumers value the less intrusive nature of content marketing which, ideally, leads to a more positive association with the brand and a higher inclination to take action."
Transparency in Content Marketing
As a washing powder brand says, "Style is optional, clean is not." For content marketing, style is a matter of options, but transparency is not.
As is the case for native advertising, disclosure is key for content marketing – and logically so, too. The IAB's guideline for responsible use of content marketing is "Regardless of context, a reasonable consumer should be able to distinguish between what is a paid native advertising unit vs. what is publisher editorial content."
Consumers hate to be misled or taken for granted. Any lack of such disclosure would spark negative brand association and deter consumers from further engaging and even buying from the brand. Not only is it a double-edged sword, but the edges are pretty sharp, too.
