Unity and stability are overrated, great teams are built around great players

Watching Test cricket live always makes me happy, and Lord's, where affection for Test cricket wafts through like a gentle fragrance, is always a treat. But though the cricket has been thoroughly absorbing, it has been hard to shake off a sense of sadness. The value of cricket diminishes when the best players are not on stage, and though England can win without Kevin Pietersen, cricket is undoubtedly poorer without him.
Poignantly, Jonny Bairstow, the man who took Pietersen's place in the team, provided the most compelling individual story of the match, passing a searing examination that tested not only his skills but also his character. As he battled though, fighting nerves, and a hostile reception from two of the quickest bowlers in the world, and his innings grew, what was on some people's minds became almost audible: Good riddance, KP.
Of course, it is never as simple as that. Life without Pietersen might be easier, but can it be better? Or can it even be as good? The last week was an extraordinary one for English cricket, but that is the question the administrators and selectors must ponder as they contemplate the future beyond this series. Pietersen polarises opinion, but there are no blacks and whites in this case: the challenge is to find the right shade of grey.
Unity and stability are two words that have been used a lot in the last few days to justify Pietersen's removal for the deciding Test of the series. The truth is that all success stories create their own buzzwords, and all buzzwords are somewhat exaggerated. England became the No. 1 Test team mainly because they managed to put together a bowling attack that was perfect in their conditions, and because their batsmen prospered not only at home but also in Australia.
Unity and stability weren't of much use when their technique fell to pieces on turners in the subcontinent, and it was only a masterly innings from Pietersen that helped them draw level against Sri Lanka. Every team must aspire to having a healthy dressing room, for it can create an environment for achieving and savouring success in, but skills are much the greater pre-requisite. Success can be achieved without unity and stability but rarely without skills. Occasionally a team might punch above its weight with perseverance and spirit, as New Zealand have sometimes done, but rarely does a team achieve sustained excellence, let alone greatness, with those qualities alone.
I had the opportunity to have a long chat with Michael Holding, who rarely equivocates, last week, and without going into details it can be recorded that the dressing rooms of the great West Indian teams of the '70s and '80s were far from being oases of harmony. "We did," Holding said, "what was needed to win Test matches." Everyone knows those were teams that burst with greatness.
"Australianism" became the catchphrase for success when Australian teams built their aura of invincibility, but behind their very public mateyness was a team of strong individuals who didn't pretend to be friends once they stepped off the field. Shane Warne was quick to sympathise with Pietersen because he lived through his differences with his team-mates - and much more publicly, with his coach.
As long as Australia's reign lasted, the Australian method continued to be regarded as the template for breeding and sustaining excellence. The Australian system was hailed for creating tough, battle-ready cricketers, and the egalitarianism of Australian society was credited for instilling in them confidence and a reluctance to defer to those who ought to have been regarded as superior. And for years, as England's cricket team wallowed in misery, the English system was condemned as wretched and outdated.
But back-to-back Ashes defeats prompted the now-famous Argus review, which found that not all was well with the system. In fact, some of the recommendations mirrored those of the Schofield report, commissioned by the England board in 2007.
The point is that success creates its own stories, and over-analysing success can give birth to theories that somewhat obscure the simplest truths. Of course, individuals should never be greater than the team, but by the same measure it should never be forgotten that individuals make the team. It is true that a great player alone cannot make a great team, but the bigger truth is that there has never been a great team without great players.
The trouble with great players is that they often happen to be difficult characters. Some are narcissists, with an exaggerated sense of self-importance and entitlement. They can be highly strung and intense. Their single-minded drive towards excellence can make them insular and selfish. Because the game comes easy to many of them, they may be truant at practice. And because the money tends to chase them, they may be led to believe that they deserve even more of it than they get. They can present as much of a challenge to their own team off the field as they do to their opponents on it.
Good teams find ways to manage them. It starts with the recognition that special players often need special care, even if that means bending the rules, for at their best they can provide something so powerful and so breathtaking that it can transcend the team. A lot has been said about Pietersen's ego, but it is the need for that ego that powers him: it drives him to impose himself on a situation rather than submit to it; it allows him create his own reality-distortion field to bludgeon a hundred when lesser players would have fought for mere survival.
|Good teams recognise that special players often need special care, even if that means bending the rules, for at their best they can provide something so powerful and so breathtaking that it can transcend the team
In his last five Tests he has twice done what none of his team-mates would have had the daring, imagination and skill to even attempt. His hundred in Colombo came on the back of a spirit-destroying run of defeats and allowed England to return from Sri Lanka with their dignity salvaged. And without his hundred at Headingley, England would perhaps have come to Lord's with nothing to play for apart from pride.
Of course the Pietersen issue is complex. From the beginning, his relationship with the England national team has been based on mutual, but uneasy, convenience. The team has tolerated him, the fans have accepted him grudgingly, and the media has been ambivalent. Though he has turned more matches for England than Andrew Flintoff - whose folk-hero status was earned through only a handful of performances - did, Pietersen has remained the outsider, the genuineness of his display of hyper-loyalty to the English always in doubt, his faults always scrutinised with extra rigour.
A full season of the IPL over Tests for England? What was he thinking?
No one has emerged with credit from the happenings of the last ten days. Pietersen has been petulant, and his bosses have come across as petty. Pietersen has felt let down by his employers for betraying his confidence, and Andrew Strauss has felt let down by the apparently derogatory text messages sent by Pietersen.
The media, a section of it at least, has played a curious role. On Sunday more details emerged about Pietersen's alleged text messages to the South African players, with a specific Afrikaner word becoming the subject of delighted dissection in the media box. When do private messages become worthy of publication? Perhaps when they serve public or national interest. In this case, it's hard to imagine what interest is served beyond the voyeuristic.
Strauss, by all accounts a decent man with a calm disposition, has every right to be aggrieved. But imagine how many friends each of us would have lost and how many of our colleagues would have turned against us if every unkind word we uttered about them in moments of pique had reached their ears.
So as those charged with safeguarding the interest of English cricket ponder Pietersen's future in the national team, here's their case against him: He is greedy, not much of a team-man off the field, not liked much by his team-mates, has been indiscreet with his comments in public, perhaps doesn't like his captain much and been privately disrespectful of him, and has been seen drinking with the opposition. But is that enough to hang him?
Now let's examine the defence: There has never been any evidence of Pietersen giving anything less than his best on the field. He was crucified for not being able to resist the pull that brought him down at The Oval, but he played no differently at Headingley, where his innings was hailed as being among the best seen at the ground. He is not known to lead his young team-mates astray or to have plotted a rebellion in the ranks; and he has publicly apologised for some of his mistakes. He is hard work for the team management, but can or should that be a good enough reason to keep him out?
The whole squalid drama has produced no winners. And no conceivable good can emerge by dragging it further. Big players are often hard work and players don't need to be mates to fight for the common cause. We don't quite know what Stuart Broad, England's T20 captain thinks of Pietersen the man. But should that matter?
If Pietersen were never to play international cricket again, the loss would be greatest for the fans, to whom the administrators owe the biggest responsibility.

Henty, George Alfred: The Dragon and the Raven. V1. 30 Apr 2010
George Alfred Henty (8 December 1832 16 November 1902), was a prolific English novelist and special correspondent. He is best known for his historical adventure stories that were popular in the late 19th century. His works include Out on the Pampas (1871), The Young Buglers (1880), With Clive in India (1884) and Wulf the Saxon (1895).
Living in the present days of peace and tranquillity it is difficult to picture the life of our ancestors in the days of King Alfred, when the whole country was for years overrun by hordes of pagan barbarians, who slaughtered, plundered, and destroyed at will.

The United States has become an aggresor nation
We (our government) are going around acting like a bully. I am an American and I love this nation, but my loyalty lays with the Constitution, not politicians that pretend that sending kids to fight and die for a dubious, self-serving cause is patriotic.
IF you believe that what I just said is still 'incoherent.' then I suggest you take a vocabulary class.

... A fabulous city. Wonderful shops, magnificent buildings and a couple of quirky items. The mirror d'eau (water mirror) was amazing. A wet pavement where you can walk or play which is misted at regular intervals. And the blue lion - why? But an amazing place to see. Even the cafe creme was excellent. And back to the campsite in the rush hour. The trams were packed - like sardines, and the roads were heaving. Hot showers and a cooked meal were the day's ...

It wasn't a cold night! A damp morning meant that it was fairly warm. The tap at the aire did not fit any of my connectors, so it was the aquaroll. We planned to get to Preignac. When we arrived, the aire was bollarded off and the water had been shut off. Presumably only open until end of September. So we went further along the Garonne to Cadillac.

Larger than any of the hotel rooms that we had stayed in so far in our travels, it was about 200 metres from the main house and other guest houses and we even had our own composting toilet! It had a lake with a little row boat on it, and was surrounded by forests. There was a communal kitchen that could be used so we could cook our own dinners (by this stage of our journey we are sick of eating out all the time) ...

Arizona Diamondbacks
Chris Owings named 2013 PCL Rookie of the Year
Arizona Diamondbacks prospect Chris Owings has been named the 2013 Pacific Coast League Rookie of the Year.
The 22-year-old infielder, who is currently sporting a .331 average with 12 home runs, 73 RBI and 16 stolen bases for Triple-A Reno, is the third straight D-backs prospect to win the award, joining Adam Eaton (2012) and Colin Cowgill (2011).
Owings' stellar season is not just limited to what he does with the bat, as his 331 assists lead all PCL shortstops and he is tied for fourth with 124 putouts.

Comment: I don't see any signs of "grown up" behaviour in what you say, Bob Wahler, particularly posts like this, where you belittle who has a different opinion from yours.
In my world, grown ups respect people with different opinions.

C'mon Daniel there are those kind of people on both sides, it's completely preposterous to say they are only on the Democratic side of things. The only difference I see is that there are A LOT of Republican politicians who engage in character assassination read Tea Party), and definitely less democrats.
Comment: Bob, the Supreme Court (herald of the US Constitution), ratified the ACA, so your whole point here is simply against the law.
Whether you like it or not, the ACA is legal, if you follow other laws you are outside the law, period. Whether you like it or not, the real loser here is a Republican Party that is unable to elect a President. And whether you and your idol Charles Koch think, there is no doubt that we live in a free society, and that those "collectivist countries" you despise are as free - I don't need to move to one, I am from one of them, and health care was just fine and cheap.
You and your Tea Party friends should at least consider moderating your tone and attitude because you run the risk being damned to a lifetime of factual irrelevancy. Demanding things to be your own way, and not learning from loss after loss, only produces historical irrelevancy, and the Tea Party - so far - hasn't passed a single law, it's just being a destructive reactionary force - i.e. only producing waste of time.
Swallowing your pride and working with others to improve things - rather than loath and despise - is what mature grown ups do, and you guys are not behaving that way.
We are all decent people, we are all striving for a better world for our children, there is no absolute right and wrong in many political issues. We just have different opinions, but there should be room for compromise on many issues.

He is survived by his wife, Larysa Tomlin; his children, Mary Anne Tomlin Andrews and John Randolph Tomlin Jr.; his brothers, Charles Tomlin and James Tomlin; his sisters-in-law, Susann Baer and Sally Tomlin; his nephew, Eric Baer; his nieces Jen Correll, Kelly Tomlin Stuck and Amy Tomlin Paner; his grandchildren, Evelyn Agnes Andrews and Randolph Jacob Tomlin; his grandnieces and -nephews; and many friends and admirers.
John was preceded in death by his first wife, Jacqueline Lee Baer Tomlin; and his parents, Carl W. Tomlin and Virginia Jones Tomlin.

He sold almost anything (legal) from tires to satellite dishes to office supplies, and he set an example to his children of how to treat others respectfully. A true gentleman, he engendered a pleasant atmosphere at any gathering. He was involved with the Freemasons, Boy Scout Troop 840 and the Aquia Creek Corvette Club, and he was a founding member
John will be remembered as an authentic sweetheart, a devoted husband and father, one of "them Tomlin boys," a humorist and the possessor of the twinkliest blue eyes east of Interstate 95.
A viewing will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday, April 11, at Mullins and Thompson Funeral Home, Stafford Chapel, 186 Shelton Shop Road. A memorial service will be held at Summit Presbyterian Church at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, April 12.

It seems we're just not meant to go too long without dealing with some major security breach, with the latest incident involving Adobe and some 3 million of its customers. Via the breach, attackers made off with customer names, encrypted credit / debit card numbers, expiration dates and other information related to customer orders. It's somewhat important to note that Adobe believes no decrypted credit / debit card numbers left its systems, which is a little confusing since no decrypted numbers should ever exist on its servers.
We are in the process of notifying customers whose credit or debit card information we believe to be involved in the incident. Customers whose credit or debit card information was involved will receive a notification letter from us with additional information on steps they can take to help protect themselves against potential misuse of personal information about them. We have also notified the banks processing customer payments for Adobe, so that they can work with the payment card companies and card-issuing banks to help protect customers' accounts.
If in the US, you're able to take advantage of an Adobe offer to be enrolled in a credit monitoring service for one year, if your card number happened to be one involved here.
Interestingly, it wasn't only Adobe's customers that got wrapped-up in all of this, but some of the company's own products fell victim, too, as the attackers apparently made way with some source code.
At this point in time, Adobe recommends all users reset their passwords here (click 'Trouble signing in?')
For a full run-down of the incident, check out the official FAQ.

Corsair Obsidian 900D review -
Product Gallery
As shown already the 900D has four tool-free 5.25in drive bays for easy drive installation. And, as explained, it has a bunch of HDD/SSD cages as well. The 900D comes standard with three HDD cages which support both 3.5 inch and 2.5 inch drives in any combination. Here's how you install the actual HDD.
Each cage will support three individual drives and that brings in support for up to 9 drives total. You can easily remove these. You place the HDD in a tray, slide it backwards in the cage and secure it with the hinge. It is as simple as that. The HDD hangs in rubber inserts. One such tray can be used for an SSD as well, these are secured with four screws at the bottom side of the tray.
Interesting fact, the lower front cage is equipped with a SATA 6G hot-swap backplane circuit board to allow for up to three storage drives to be quickly connected and disconnected.
Right, we are moving back to the front-side again as there is some bezel stuff going on we have not told you about just yet. Have a peek at the lower aluminum bezel insert.
The front side panel is actually brushed aluminum, if you pull it forward you can take it out. You'll then notice removable and washable dust filter for intake fans.
Behind it you can see the three supplied and preinstalled 120mm intake fans, these are AF120L fans, all creating good airflow yet remaining silent. These are PWM controlled. The one thing missing however is some sort of fan controller on the 900D. In this price range we really expected it to have it in some sort of form or way.

Video: North Carolinians Tell Congressman McHenry Why We Need Obamacare
Category: Obamacare
"Why do I not have a moral right and access to health care?" That's the question on more than a few people's minds, as conservative lawmakers continue their crusade to defund Obamacare.
At a town hall meeting in North Carolina, Congressman Patrick McHenry was asked why he would vote to repeal and defund Obamacare (which he's done 40 times)—a law that has already helped millions of women and families across the country. If, as McHenry has said, he agrees with some aspects of the law, including ending discrimination against pre-existing conditions and extending the time young people can stay on their parent's health insurance, why would he vote against a plan that is better than nothing at all?
Watch these North Carolina folks tell this out-of-touch congressman why "we've got to have" Obamacare:

It's bad enough that the airline
they were flying was grounded in a joint decision by company
executives and Colombian authorities. But 180 passengers who were
on a military transport offered up in place of their cancelled
flight had to make an emergency landing in Bogota Thursday after
suffering hydraulic problems affecting the landing gear, according
to local reports.
The Colombian Air Force C-130 Hercules was headed from San
Andres to Medellin when the problem arose. No one was hurt in the
emergency landing at Bogota's El Dorado Airport, but fire trucks
and ambulances were standing by just in case.
The passengers were flown by military transport after West
Caribbean Airways and the Colombian government jointly grounded the
airline's one flightworthy plane -- a Czech LET 410 -- in the wake
of the WCA MD-82 crash in Venezuela this week.
As ANN has reported this week, the WCA flight went
down on Tuesday, killing all 160 people on board. The 152
passengers were French citizens who had chartered the MD-82 for
their vacations in Panama. The French government is assisting in
the investigation. Criminal charges may be pending against the
airline. A WCA LET-410 went down in March, killing all on

It's been a good day for anime and anime adjacent KickStarts campaigns. With less than 40 hours to go, and plenty of social media support, the effort to crowdfund the production of a pilot for "Electro Hip-Hop" Urbance is past its $189,000 CAD goal and pushing towards $200k. Meanwhile, only halfway through its fundraising period, Awesome Japan has succeeded in picking up $10,000 in pledges for Go! Samurai!

Kenneth Lance Barton
Barton earned a B.S. in Management Information Systems and M.B.A. from the University of New Haven. He has worked as a cowboy as well as a developer on the F-117 fighter project. Barton is currently a Project Manager at Boeing.[1]
Barton placed third in the August 6, 2013 primary for the District 4 seat on the Federal Way Board of Directors. He failed to advance to the November 6, 2013 election.[2]
|Federal Way Board of Directors, Primary, District 4, 2013

|Medgar Wells

|Source: King County Elections
Campaign themes
Barton provided the following statement of principles in the local voters' pamphlet published by King County for the primary:[1]
"In my first job I was a cowboy in eastern Washington, and I once was in charge of the Weapons Control Systems for the F117 stealth fighter, but my favorite job ever is raising my 12-year-old eighth-grader to be a mighty man of God. I have worked half-way around the world and back, and it is good to be home. My family and I attend Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Des Moines. I submit to you a leader who knows the true meaning of grace, and I would be honored to have your vote."
What's at stake?
Ed Barney is seeking a fourth term in the District 1 seat against challenger Geoffery Z. McAnalloy. Newcomers Carol Gregory and Medgar Wells are running for the District 4 seat currently held by Angela Griffin, who did not file for election.
The Board of Education is facing increased scrutiny from local residents over travel spending and the recent removal of Tony Moore from the board presidency. At a board meeting on October 15, parents confronted the board over $60,000 in travel expenses accrued as part of the district's participation in the Global Partnership for Education. Board members argued that trips to Europe and Asia were necessary to study international education while critics argued that the money could have been used for classroom resources.
The board voted 3-2 at the October 15 meeting to remove Moore as president after his arrest in September for felony theft.[3] Moore was indicted by an Oregon jury on August 23 on charges that he conspired to steal $150,000 worth of commercial tires for his salvage business.[4]
About the district
- See also: Federal Way Public Schools, Washington
Federal Way lagged behind state averages for higher education achievement, median income and poverty. The percentage of city residents over 25 years old with undergraduate degrees (25.4%) fell below the state average (31.4%). The 2010 U.S. Census calculated Federal Way's median income at $55,846 while the state median income was $58,890. Federal Way had a poverty rate of 15.4% in the 2010 U.S. Census while the state rate was 12.5%.[5]
Note: The United States Census Bureau considers "Hispanic or Latino" to be a place of origin, not a race. Therefore, the Census allows citizens to report both their race and that they are from a "Hispanic or Latino" place of origin simultaneously. As a result, the percentages in each column of the racial demographics table will exceed 100 percent. Each column will add up to 100 percent after removing the "Hispanic or Latino" place of origin percentages, although rounding by the Census Bureau may make the total one or two tenths off from being exactly 100 percent.[7]

Simply? 4 of my last 6 games we're 4v5.
We're 4v5?
Because me and you bro, we're like an army of two... in one.
Space Marine Guy
(We're is We Are. I believe you meant: were)
Anyhow, they will get banned soon.
Suuuure they will. :|
I had a bad experience last night with two games in a row.
Firstly someone on our team never connected for some reason, so it's 4v5 right off the bat. We decide we'll have 3 solo lanes and amumu will continue his jungling plan. Amumu dies within 1 minute of creeps spawn then leaves the game.
We then just ride the game out.
The next game was going good, but top lane was getting killed too often. Suddenly one of the guys explodes at the other, they're friends playing in the same room it turns out. One claims he told him they shouldn't have gotten high before the game, the other guy gets all defensive.
They they bluepill back to base and fight for 10 minutes.

Netherlands To Privatize Casinos Amid Highly Controversial Austerity Push In Europe
Online Gaming To Be Regulated As Well In Country Of 16.7 Million
The Netherlands plans to "mondernise" its gambling policy by dumping its 14 casinos into private hands, the country's recently elected politicians announced last month.
"Providing gambling services is not one of the government's core tasks and therefore Holland Casino will be sold," the government said in its coalition agreement forged in late October.
Holland Casino, officially the "National Foundation for the Exploitation of Casino Games in the Netherlands," currently sends its profits to the Dutch treasury. According to Wednesday reporting from Reuters, gambling revenues have been declining at the state-owned casinos.
Online casino games will also be legalized and regulated under the plan, in an effort to "reduce the proliferation of illegal gambling," the government said. Talks of opening up the country to foreign online gambling firms have been ongoing for awhile now.
The Netherlands is in a financial "crisis," the government said, and it wants to solve its problems through a framework that "causes minimum hindrance" to business.
However, the overall economic plan, dubbed "Building Bridges" despite $20.7 billion in cuts, will come at a high cost and could be painful for most.
The Wall Street Journal reported in late October:
"The measures included big spending cuts in social security, raising the retirement age and scrapping subsidies in health care. In addition, the government targets overhauls in the housing, health care and labor markets. Proposed measures include a reduction of a tax deduction of interest on mortgages. Unemployment benefits will be cut, while health-care subsidies scrapped and insurance premiums linked to personal income."
The Netherlands is part of the European community that has been pushing austerity measures, despite intense public backlash. Earlier this month, hundreds of thousands of protestors took to the streets all around the continent to oppose the ideology. The Netherlands had mild demonstrations when compared to others, the Associated Press reported.

Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Bourg
|This article has no lead section. (September 2009)
The Congregation of Saint Joseph is a Roman Catholic order of women founded in Le Puy, France by the Jesuit Jean-Pierre Médaille and accepted by the bishop, Mgr. de Maupas, on October 15, 1650. The Congregation of Saint Joseph was disbanded during the French Revolution. The Congregation was revived in 1807 at Lyons, during the Napoleonic regime through the efforts of Cardinal Fesch and the devotedness of Mother Saint John Fontbonne.
In 1819 a foundation from the mother house in Lyons was established in the Diocese of Belley under the leadership of Mother Saint Joseph Chaney.
In 1823 the sisters of the diocese formally separated from Lyons. They became a new independent diocesan congregation under the leadership of Reverend Mother Saint Benoit Cornillon and direction of Bishop Alexander Devie.
In 1854 the sisters were sent from Bourg to establish a house at Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, in the Diocese of Natchez.
In 1863 a novitiate was opened at New Orleans. After establishing a central house in New Orleans, Louisiana, the Sisters extended their ministry to the poor and suffering of Louisiana and Mississippi, opening schools, hospitals and an orphanage.
In 1893, Sisters from the New Orleans group went to Cincinnati, Ohio. They created a boarding residence for working girls known as the in Sacred Heart Home. It later became known as the Fontbonne. As they became established, the community established educational institutions. children and young women under their care.
In 1903, sisters from the motherhouse in Bourg were sent to Argyle, Minnesota.
In 1907, the group in Argyle, Minnesota established a convent and school in Crookston, Minnesota.
In 1907 a convent was established at Superior, Wisconsin by seven sisters from Cincinnati. Schools have since been opened among the French Canadians in Minnesota and Wisconsin
By 1962, the Bourg Congregation had six provinces, three in Europe and three in the United States, with missions in Africa and Latin America.
In July 1977, the six provinces voted to become two separate congregations, one based in Europe, the other in America. On November 30, 1977, Rome officially declared the three America provinces to be a new Congregation in the Church: the Sisters of Saint Joseph of Medaille. The name Medaille was chosen because it is the family name of the Jesuit priest who helped found the Sisters in 1650 and because the Sisters were geographically located in the north, central and southern areas of the United States. Sister Janet Roesener of Cincinnati, Ohio was chosen the first superior general.
In 1986 and in 1994 decisions were made to merge the three provinces into five regions headed by a Congregational Leadership Office composed of a president and three general councilors, in Cincinnati. The five regions are Baton Rouge, Cincinnati, Crookston, New Orleans, and the Twin Cities.
The general aim of these sisters is the glory of God through the sanctification of its members by means of the three vows. The special objective is the salvation and service of others through works of charity: elementary and secondary schools, hospitals, and social services.
The formation begins with a nine-month postulancy followed by a two-year novitiate. During the postulancy and the second year of novitiate an integrated liberal arts college program is simultaneously initiated with a thorough spiritual foundation. After first profession the first level of education is completed before entering into the apostolate.

Real Name
Benjamin Satterly
Date of Birth
August 22, 1986
Place of Birth
Some wrestling fans take it too far. Someone recently posted that they wanted to get a tattoo of a blood Mick Foley on their body. The WWE legend himself tried to put a stop to that. Foley advised the person that it would not be a smart move because it is something permanent. It would be something that the person would have to explain to a future spouse.

The internet was buzzing earlier tonight during Monday Night Raw about the new tattoo that Brie Bella got recently. The WWE diva got some sort of design on her pelvic area, and only her fiance Daniel Bryan would be able to provide us with the details, if he ever felt inclined to do so. Here is a picture of the new Brie Bella tattoos.

WWE officials are a lot more observant than fans think that they are. The company routinely monitors the audience reaction to certain performers. As of late, management has noticed that the ovations that Adrian Neville has been receiving when working with the main roster has been superb. On some nights, he gets more of a reaction than the guys that have been on television regularly.
October 15, 2014
Yesterday, it was revealed that a couple of the WWE NXT performers have been booked for upcoming episodes of Monday Night Raw and Smackdown. Some further details have now been reported. Sami Zayn and Tyler Breeze are only booked for a couple of weeks, while Adrian Neville, who is currently the heavyweight champion in developmental, is scheduled until the end of October.
September 14, 2014
Last week, wrestling fans were dazzled by Adrian Neville, Sami Zayn, Tyler Breeze and Tyson Kidd during a tag team match on Monday Night Raw. You can expect more of that in the near future, as the WWE NXT stars are being booked for more television appearances. Reports have surfaced that Triple H is the one pushing management to feature the developmental wrestlers more frequently.
September 13, 2014
During the latest WWE NXT show, an interesting injury was revealed. Adrian Neville had four teeth knocked out of his mouth during a backstage segment with Brodus Clay, who has been down in developmental for several months now. Neville had dental surgery to repair the teeth and now wears a mouth guard during matches to prevent further damage.
May 31, 2014
"I was shown a package of things he's done and I was wondering if I could keep up in the ring with him. Once he gets here he'll not only already be established, but Superstars like myself will already have ideas in our head about things we can do with him. And that will make it that much better." - Dolph Ziggler praising WWE NXT developmental star Adrian Neville
May 30, 2014
While there are some fans clamoring for him to be utilized on Monday Night Raw and Smackdown better, Tyson Kidd is actually becoming a main part of WWE NXT. The Total Divas cast member will be involved in a title program with Adrian Neville soon, as the two of them are expected to feud with one another over the heavyweight championship down in developmental.
April 26, 2014

Since the company introduced so many new faces on Monday Night Raw this week, speculations have ran rampant about which WWE NXT will be called up to the main roster as well. Heavyweight champion Adrian Neville has been heavily discussed by fans, but it appears that WWE will be keeping him in developmental until at least the summer.
April 13, 2014
Since management had an initiative this week to introduce as many new stars as possible, Adam Rose vignettes were presented to fans in the arena and at home on Monday Night Raw. WWE was impressed with Rose, but some felt that he needed a little more time down in developmental. Many believed that Adrian Neville and Sami Zayn were ahead of him in line.
April 9, 2014
Since management still is trying to figure out a way to get the WWE NXT guys involved at Wrestlemania 30, there is a chance that Sami Zayn and Adrian Neville could be given one of the three remaining spots in the Andre the Giant memorial battle royal at the pay per view on Sunday. Rob Van Dam is a strong candidate to take a spot as well.
April 3, 2014
For the last few weeks, there have been talks about finding a way to get WWE NXT featured at Wrestlemania 30, and it looks like the Andre the Giant memorial battle royal is the solution. Management can now throw a couple of the developmental performers on the show. Guys like Adrian Neville, Sami Zayn, Bo Dallas and Mojo Rowley have very good chances of being chosen.
March 12, 2014
When officials recently informed the developmental wrestlers that WWE NXT would be featured more heavily because of its addition to the WWE Network, a lot of people were pleased. However, there were some that believed that it meant a harder road to get to the main roster now. Guys like Adrian Neville and Sami Zayn could be waiting a lot longer than usual.
March 6, 2014
While a lot of fans have already forgotten about him, a few still wonder about his whereabouts and status within WWE. It turns out that Camacho is still with the company, as he worked a WWE NXT television taping this week. He lost to Adrian Neville. His partner, Hunico, frequently works under the mask as the new Sin Cara, for those that are not aware.
March 2, 2014
The belief this week was that Shawn Michaels had completely pulled out of the big WWE NXT show, but it turns out that he simply did not want to be a part of the panel and opted for a much lesser role. The former world heavyweight champion ended up introducing the main event match between Bo Dallas and Adrian Neville instead.
March 1, 2014
After Adrian Neville defeated Bo Dallas to capture the WWE NXT Championship on the WWE Network last night, he and the audience received a bit of a surprise. John Cena, the centerpiece of the company, made an appearance after television cameras went offline, and gave his seal of approval and a congratulations to Neville on becoming the new champion.
February 28, 2014
While many within WWE, including JBL, are pushing for him to be called up to the main roster soon, management currently does not have any plans of bringing Adrian Neville up from the developmental program just yet. The plan is to keep him in NXT until at least Wrestlemania.
January 17, 2014
"Adrian Neville. Not a doubt in my mind. I think he's just phenomenal. I don't know about his promo skills as I haven't seen them as much, but he's a guy who could go out there and perform on any card, anywhere in the world and be a help to that card. I would love to see him up in the WWE. He'll be there I just don't know the time frame."

Board denies parole for Jenkins
The Mississippi Parole Board denied parole for Anthony Jenkins, 45, who convicted in 1987 for killing 4-year-old James Neal Freeman and wounding Debi Freeman in 1985 with a rifle while the family was driving along College Hill Road.
Jenkins was sentenced to life in prison and has been up for parole three times but has been denied each time. The latest hearing was held in January. He will be eligible again in 2014. (January 31, 2011, Page 2)
