Preclinical and clinical data suggest that ADRC may serve as a safe and efficacious adjuvant agent for the treatment of ON. However, no randomized control study in the United States has formally evaluated safety of ADRC in the setting of ON. Therefore, the primary endeavor of this Phase I pilot study will be to evaluate safety of ADRC for pre-collapse ON of the femoral head.
The Celution System (Cytori Therapeutics, San Diego, USA) for preparation of ADRC from lipoaspirate is currently being evaluated in FDA approved clinical trials including an orthopedic indication (osteoarthritis). In addition, the device has a registration in Europe and Class I approval in Japan. As such, it serves as a known platform that produces a clinical grade product for human use. Other devices on the market process lipoaspirate by either mechanical, washing, or centrifugation methods; however, the remaining components of original adipose tissue are significant and impair the regenerative process. Derivation of relatively pure ADRC has been achieved by few devices and the Cytori Celution System is the only one to our knowledge with a sufficient safety and efficacy track record enabling multiple investigational device exemption (IDE) approvals. The reagent used (Celase®) is of a clinical and pharmacologic grade for use in humans. The production of Celase is free of mammalian products.
Great find FAS, thank you!
They still have a lot of things in the mill, question for now is financing.
I am away to see my children and grandchildren in Ann Arbor.
I personally think that the ostereonecrosis study at 3 Mayo locations very interesting.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew was benched in favor of Mike Glennon for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns, despite his pleas with head coach Doug Marrone.
It appears that Minshew's pleas have fallen on deaf ears as Glennon will start against the Minnesota Vikings this week despite turning the ball over three times in last week's game.
"It's so frustrating," Minshew said, according to ESPN's Michael DiRocco. "I pretty much went and begged before the Cleveland game to be able to play. It sucks, you know, There's no way around it.
"I want to be out there. I want to be helping our team, but if helping our team is me being the best No. 2 I can be then that's what I've got to do right now."
"We talked today and just like I've told him, I just want to see more practice," Marrone said. "I think he's working on his volume and the amount of throws and all of that. Obviously he's cleared medically, but still you want to be able to see those things on the practice field. I just think right now in practice Mike is throwing better and gives us the best chance to win.
"I don't think Gardner's 100% as far as his workload, and that's always a concern to me, and I'm trying to understand it. We're both trying to work through it."
"We've been having a lot of conversations, so it's not a problem at all," Marrone said. "Whatever he feels he can do what's best for the team, he'll do. He's said that quite a bit. I don't see a problem there. The communication's been fine. I think everything's been up front. I think everything's been talked about. So I feel comfortable with that.
"I think he's trying to do everything he can to get himself back to a point where he feels comfortable and his workload is right."
Minshew is unsure of his long-term future with the Jags.
"I don't know," Minshew said. "I mean, I don't know if anybody has a long-term future right now just being the nature of being 1-11, so there's really no telling how things'll shake out. I can just control what I can, and we'll go from there."

Battle of the Sexes (2017)
Andrea Riseborough, Billie Jean King, Bobby Riggs, Drama, Emma Stone, Jonathan Dayton, Review, Sexism, Sport, Steve Carell, Tennis, True story, Valerie Faris
D: Valerie Faris, Jonathan Dayton / 121m
Cast: Emma Stone, Steve Carell, Andrea Riseborough, Natalie Morales, Sarah Silverman, Bill Pullman, Alan Cumming, Elisabeth Shue, Austin Stowell, Eric Christian Olsen, Jessica McNamee
Ah, the Seventies, a golden era for cinema, but not quite so good if you were a woman, or more specifically, a sportswoman. The disparity between what the men were paid and what the women were lucky to receive, by comparison with modern standards, was insulting. Battle of the Sexes, the latest from the directors of Little Miss Sunshine (2006), is very loosely based on the efforts of women tennis players such as then champion Billie Jean King (Stone) and several of her fellow players to break away from the United States Lawn Tennis Association, and establish their own independent, Women's Tennis Association. In doing so, they not only challenged the entrenched male perspective that women's tennis was somehow "inferior" to men's tennis, but also that "people" didn't want to watch women's tennis because it wasn't exciting enough.
This patriarchal view was espoused by the likes of Jack Kramer (Pullman), the head of the USLTA. It was refuted by Billie Jean and her (apparent) agent/manager Gladys Heldman (Silverman). Kramer's blackballing of the women players who refused to play in any of the USLTA's tournaments proved to be an unintended blessing in disguise, as it allowed them to find their own sponsorship and play in their own tournaments, and for more approrpriate sums of money (when Billie Jean won the US Open in 1972 she received $15,000 less than men's champion Ilie Năstase). The movie depicts the effectiveness of this approach in establishing the quality of women's tennis, and bringing it to a wider public, but then along comes Bobby Riggs (Carell), a one-time world tennis champion in the late Thirties and Forties. Riggs, a tireless self-promoter, challenges King to an exhibition match, asserting that he can beat any of the top women players purely because he's a man. King initially declines his offer, but when he beats her rival, and current world number one, Margaret Court (McNamee), Billie Jean feels she has no option but to play him, and hopefully, advance the cause of women tennis players immensely. But if she were to fail…
Battle of the Sexes is an enjoyable mix of comedy and drama that has an ambitious streak that's about a mile wide. Not only does it focus on tennis's version of the glass ceiling, but it also finds time to explore the wider sexism of the time, as well taking a sideswipe at the era's unhappy approach to gender equality and sexual liberation. Alongside the grandstanding of the match itself, King's burgeoning awareness of her true sexual identity is dealt with by her having an affair with a hairdresser, Marilyn Barnett (Riseborough). This aspect of the movie is played out with a great deal of restraint, not just in how it's presented physically, but also emotionally, with Billie Jean trying to put the genie back in the lamp and pretending nothing has happened. She can't, of course, but the movie does make the viewer wait for her to stop pretending; after all, everyone else around her knows what's been going on, including her husband, Larry (Stowell). In the end, the relationship becomes less and less important in the grand scheme of things, and the idea that it was somehow better to address the issue of Billie Jean's sexual preferences than not, becomes more and more apparent.
Sadly though, and while the movie is enjoyable, it's ultimately too lightweight for its own good. With themes such as sexism and sexual politics thrown into the mix, there's ample opportunity for the movie to provide probing examinations of both these themes, but instead it skirts around them, looking to come up with a telling bon mot rather than something more substantial (in one of the movie's more corny moments, Alan Cumming's unsurprisingly gay fashion designer, Ted Tinling, tells Billie Jean that one day, they'll both be able to love freely). There's also no real sense that anyone is being held back or hampered from doing anything, or that any obstacles can't be overcome (and at the first opportunity). Billie Jean's affair with Marilyn relies on Larry being completely understanding about "everything" and not causing a fuss, while Gladys gets their first tour up and running with ease, and every run in with Kramer sees him being knocked down a peg by King at every turn, leaving him looking and sounding like a sexist bogeyman, something that is too simplistic an approach to work effectively (and which even Pullman struggles to pull off). All the real drama is saved for the match, but by then it has to work extra hard to reel in the viewer, who probably has a good idea (if not an actual one) as to the outcome.
Stone is terrific, rescuing some of the milder and less interesting portions of the movie by virtue of her commitment to playing Billie Jean and her ability as an actress to fold herself into the character, so that she brings her own vulnerability as a person to the role and uses her own feelings to establish that character's interior life. It's a much subtler performance than you might expect, and Stone is to be congratulated for the layers she brings to her portrayal, shading Billie Jean's personality in such a way that it helps overcome the script's more pedestrian moments. Matching her for commitment and sincerity is Carell, a perfect choice for Riggs who plays him as a man whose public persona is used to hide the insecurities he feels since retiring from the one thing that he's good at (he does play the senior circuit but is unfulfilled by it). Carell has a great deal of fun with the role, and the viewer has every right to have fun right along side him, but Carell also ensures there's an air of melancholy about Riggs that's equally affecting.
Faris and Dayton assemble the material with a deft appreciation for the period it's set in, and the politics of the time, but it's Simon Beaufoy's subdued screenplay that holds them back from making this entirely successful (which makes one wonder how the movie would have turned out if original choice Danny Boyle had been able to direct it). Still, they do manage to elicit good performances from the cast, and if there's not enough in the way of truly emotional or dramatic highs and lows, they do keep things ticking over with a great deal of style and visual panache thanks to Oscar-winning DoP Linus Sandgren. If the movie doesn't quite achieve its own ambitions, it's still a good effort that can be enjoyed and appreciated for what it is, even if the material does lack depth and it decides not to take a more extensive look at its various themes and topics.
Rating: 7/10 – a movie that tries hard to draw parallels with modern day issues surrounding sexual politics, Battle of the Sexes is buoyed by Stone and Carell's performances, and a giddy sense of the absurdity of the whole situation surrounding the "battle"; but while it's enjoyable on a basic level, any attempt to look deeper under the surface will reveal a movie that trades too heavily on what's superfluous and not enough on what's meaningful.

Lovely, smart and enjoyable. Nice review.


On July 4, 2017, Jens (my "little" brother) and Mehgen eloped to Jamaica! They had a gorgeous, waterfront wedding in Jamaica and honeymooned at the all inclusive Sandals resort for the week! Although they had the picture perfect wedding there (without me), they wanted some more professional photographs in Downtown Charleston (and this time I was invited)! We took advantage of the Labor Day Weekend and scheduled a trip! Downtown Charleston made the most beautiful backdrop! Pretty pastels, moss trees and gorgeous downtown alleys and historic buildings created dreamlike wedding portraits! I'm not sure if it's because I love these two people...or because it was something so new and so different...or a combination of both BUT I just LOVE these! I'm excited to share them with you! Congratulations Mehgen and Jens! LOVE looks good on you both! Love you bunches!

I began believing it all and slowly reached my present position of total sceptic. There is hardly a single scientific, mathematical, or logical principle that they do not violate and they have done much to bring down the status and value of scientific research, together with the salaries and career prospects of scientists.
Today I was asked if I would buy a working website called CauseofGlobal Warming.com. They asked me because my first major publication was entitled "The Cause of Global Warming". It was published in 2000 in a peer-reviewed Journal (Energy and Environment) yet my biography by Wikipedia, which has recently been improved, still claims that I have never published on the climate in a peer-reviewed journal.
I have never had a personal website as I do not want the continuous responsibility and there are too many of them. However, I am forced to admit that a small number of the current blogs are currently leading the quest for demolition or control of the "Climate Change" bandwagon. It has now got to the stage that unless I catch a current controversy immediately it happens I get there too late and I end up commenting several hundred items from the top. If you judge success by the number of comments they attract I would identify the websites :Wattsupwiththat, JoanneNova and Climate etc. which might indicate that at last there is a distinctive feminine influence, from the last two. I may say that my website climatescience contains a great deal of useful material but does not provide for public debate.
I have hoped that the depth of my own crtical writings has helped in current understanding. My most thorough recent ones are my Global Scam and Greenhouse and its Effects reports much of which have appeared in these newsletters. I would like to draw your attention to two recent contributions which make use of the unique facilities now available on the Internet.
This is the first time we have had a full professor of Climate Science present a fully reasoned case against the carbon dioxide theory. He presents evidence that increases of carbon dioxide come from natural sources, mainly from a temperature increase. The weakness of this argument is that the temperature is not increasing and the carbon dioxide is still rising. But since I quaestion all the data he uses for their representativity and for their accuracy (which is almost never estimated) he may still be right. However, the disadvanrtage of a video is that you cannot examine the arguments closely and this lecture does not seem to have been published yet, The questions from the audience displayed a great deal of naivety.
I met David during our attendance at the Bali Climate Conferennce. He is an expert on solar influences on the climate. In these two compilations he displays a masterly knowledge of almost every challenge that faces the world that you could think of. They include the future of climate, oil, atomic energy, food, population nuclear weapons and several others. He gives predictions of possible futures, many of disaster. I have some difficulty in disagreeing with any of it, mainly on whether his data are correct and whether science and technology might save the day.
I suppose I ought to write another book, but there are already too many of them and it seems at present all you need to do is to be patient and just wait. "Global Warming" will go away, but with how much intervening disasters caused by human stupidity?


VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 13, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- InZinc Mining Ltd. (IZN.V) (the "Company") announces the discovery of high grade, shallow mineralization from its first drill program at the Indy zinc project (100% option) located 100km southeast of Prince George in central British Columbia. Results from the eleven-hole drill program (1271m drilled), including intersections from the final six holes, identified a new zone of near surface mineralization called the B-9 zone.
All significant intersections returned, including those previously released (see News Release NR2018-06), are located within 60m of surface.
The first drill program at Indy has been a success with the discovery of shallow mineralization at the new B-9 zone, including high-grade massive sulphide mineralization in holes IB18-009 and IB18-003 which remain open for further exploration. Guided by cost effective soil geochemistry in an area of no surface rock exposure, the exploration drilling provides the first important insights into the distinctive type of mineralization at the B-9 zone and underscores the unique potential of the Indy project.
To date, three large soil geochemical anomalies with an aggregate length of 3.2km occur on the property (see Figure 1). Drilling at the B-9 zone (a 270m long portion of Anomaly B) indicates that soil geochemistry is a cost-effective method of targeting sub-surface mineralization. Anomalies C and D remain to be tested by drilling.
Anomaly B, hosting the mineralization discovered at the B-9 zone, was sampled by the Company in 2017 with high zinc in soils outlined over a 1.5km trend. Additional infill sampling in 2018 supported the discoveries at the B-9 zone. The westward expansion of the geochemical survey in 2018 (see Figure 2) outlines a strongly anomalous, continuous and untested area of zinc in soil for up to 400m downslope and 500m northwest and southeast below the 2018 drill holes.
Expansion and infill soil geochemical surveys at Anomaly C in 2018 (see Figure 1) outline an area measuring greater than 700m in length and remaining open for further sampling to the south. To date, 20% of the 147 soil samples at Anomaly C have returned greater than 1000 ppm Zn (0.1% Zn) with highs up to 6314 ppm Zn (0.63% Zn) in soil.
Initial wide spaced soil survey lines were also completed in 2018 at Anomaly D (see Figure 1). This survey indicates a "multi-trend" in an area measuring over 1km in length returning numerous high zinc (greater than 500 ppm to 2654 ppm Zn) responses in soils.
The 2018 drill program (holes IB18-001 to IB18-010) focused on the southeastern area of Anomaly B, now called the B-9 zone, and generally targeted the upslope limits of anomalous soil geochemistry over a 270m trend. The only rock exposure in this area is a surface zinc oxide (smithsonite) occurrence which returned 45.5% Zn in a grab sample. Untested soil geochemical anomalies at the B-9 zone extend over 400m downslope and 500m northwest and southeast below the 2018 drill holes. A single hole (IB18-011) was completed 900m north of hole IB18-001.
Drill hole IB18-009 was drilled from the site of IB18-002 in a southerly direction, targeting an area of high zinc in soil geochemistry 75m south of the drill site and 50m south of the multiple shallow mineralized intersections in holes IB18-001 and IB18-002 (see News Release NR2018-06). The hole commenced in siliceous polymictic sedimentary breccia until 78m downhole when sphalerite (zinc sulphide) concentrations increased and transitioned between semi-massive to massive form over the following 6.3m. Several sections of the massive sulphides are very high in zinc grade with one sample (see Figure 4) from 79.57m to 80.02m downhole grading 40.9% Zn. The mineralization occurs at a transition in geology to pyritic-sericite schists and altered siltstones. This is consistent with the location of several of the significant intersections returned from drilling at the B-9 zone. Core recoveries in the mineralization are estimated at 85%.
Drill hole IB18-008 was drilled vertically from the site of holes IB18-002 and IB18-009. Mineralization intersected from 55.79m to 62.52m (5.76% Zn, 0.48% Pb and 3.41 g/t Ag) consists of fracture fill to semi-massive sphalerite hosted in a silica flooded sedimentary breccia. Core recoveries are estimated at 90%. This mineralization style and internal position within the sedimentary breccia sequence is consistent with similar but lower grade material located 125m to the north in hole IB18-005 and is characteristic of "feeder" style mineralization.
Hole IB18-007 was a vertical hole drilled from the same location as hole IB18-006. The hole collared in black shales and transitioned into sedimentary breccia and intercalated grey altered shales and siltstone sequences. A narrow interval grading 1.09% Zn hosted in the sedimentary breccia unit, occurred at 118m downhole.
Drill holes IB18-005 and IB18-010 were drilled in the 250m interval between the massive sulphides intersected in hole IB18-003* (9.26% Zn, 2.43% Pb and 17.98 g/t Ag over 3.05m at 23m below surface) and the mineralization in holes IB18-002, IB18-008 and IB18-009. Hole IB18-005 intersected 1.13% Zn over 2.75m at 53m downhole and within the siliceous sedimentary breccia unit. As mentioned previously, this mineralization is similar and may reflect an extension of the thicker, higher grade mineralization intersected 125m south in hole IB18-008. The lower portions of this hole were affected by loss of core recovery at the transition into pyrite-sericite schists. Hole IB18-010 was a south directed hole and intersected pyrite-sericite schists and ankeritized (carbonate altered) siltstones consistent with footwall sequences seen in other holes at the B-9 zone.
Hole IB18-011 targeted soil responses 900m to the north of hole IB18-001. Black shales, containing narrow zones of anomalous silver, comprised the entire length of the hole.

Dirt Sheet History: June 2006
Take a trip back to a memorable timeline in sports entertainment with the most important stories reported as fact in the journalistic world of pro wrestling dirt sheets.
Following the timeline of the last Dirt Sheet History looking back at May 2006, we get a glimpse into the top scoops from June of 2006. Featuring the launch of the WWE ECW brand and ECW One Night Stand 2, we see all the big scoops in the world of wrestling at the time.
Reminder that you can find all editions of Dirt Sheet History looking at 2004 and 2005 right here at this very link. Now enjoy June 2006!
* WWE management is said to be high on Bobby Lashley. He has been making waves in the company lately and everyone has high hopes for him on SmackDown. At a time where the brand is plagued with injuries, Lashley has stepped in the eyes of management. The company believes he has made significant progress since debuting in late '05 and he will continue to progress by holding a secondary title.
* WWE's stock closed at $18.54 Friday, one of the highest closing numbers in many years. For those that have asked, Vince McMahon is back to being a real life billionaire and not just a fictional storyline billionaire.
* Hulk Hogan was recently interviewed by The Sun in the United Kingdom. In it Hogan stated:
"I spoke to Vince (McMahon) in New York on Sunday and he's asked me to come back. He wants to make me the Babe Ruth or Muhammad Ali of wrestling. Next April WrestleMania is back in Detroit, Michigan. Twenty years ago in the same city, at the same event, I bodyslammed Andre The Giant. Vince was saying to me: 'Oh my gosh, you have to be in the main event 20 years later.' "We'll probably end up doing business."
When asked if the match would be against Steve Austin he said, "I've thrown the challenge out there and now it's up to Stone Cold if he wants to do the match."
Hogan continued, "I really don't know why it hasn't happened already. I thought maybe Vince and Steve had fallen out, but I've since found out that they've done some sort of deal to keep Austin as part of the company. "So if he's part of the WWE, I've got no idea why Steve wouldn't want to have a match at WrestleMania."
He finally concluded, "I don't know if he has a problem with me personally. When we were in WCW, and he was Stunning Steve Austin, he talked to me a couple of times about different ideas he had to work with me. The ideas were OK, they weren't home runs but they were pretty good."
* WWE sent out a message to their Mobile Alert subscribers saying that Kurt Angle has issued an "open challenge for One Night Stand to anyone from any brand."
The message continues by saying that "he doesn't care if the person is from a 4-sided, 6-sided, or 8-sided ring."
The initial challenge was made this past Friday night on SmackDown. Of course WWE owns the brands of SmackDown, RAW, and ECW which all use 4-sided rings. TNA is the only company with a 6-sided ring and UFC uses an 8-sided caged ring.
* The reason that Jerry "The King" Lawler and Tazz worked so stiff a the WWE vs. ECW special is because they knew that they would have to make it as real as possible with the cameras so close up. Some have speculated that the intense aggression could have been from a legitimate real life feud in the past.
Vince McMahon was said to be happy with the way last night special turned out. Talent was said to have also liked the way the show went and liked how Vince made the call to hold nothing back.
Speaking of McMahon, he was the one feeding lines to Tazz and Lawler to continue insulting each other on the air. It is a secret to no one that Vince enjoys people verbal jousting each other.
* The segment where Joey Styles knocked Jim Ross' cowboy hat off of his head during last night's WWE vs. ECW show was not planned. Styles made the decision to do it on the spur of the moment, creating more effective television.
* Below are my own personal live notes from the PPV:
– The crowd was white hot all night. There's nothing like an ECW crowd and this show was no exception. They were very vocal all night long, even more so than how translated onto television. It was very hard to hear anything that was said on the house mic.
– The commemorative ringside folding chairs featured Rob Van Dam's picture from the ECW One Night Stand Poster.
– There was a lot of new ECW merchandise for sale, including shirts for RVD, Sandman, Sabu and Tommy Dreamer. The infamous event shirt which leaked on WWE.com this week featuring match spoilers was also for sale.
– The end of the Rey Mysterio vs. Sabu match understandably got a ton of heat. Sabu was very pissed off at the finish, I would imagine the early finish was not planned.
– The audience was dying for Sandman to make the save for Tommy Dreamer during his match while Terry Funk had been taken the back.
– John Cena had an incredible amount of heel heat. I've never seen anything like the beginning of the match where he threw his hat and shirt into the crowd and the audience members threw them back at him. Unreal stuff. The crowd was all over every move each guy made.
– After the show went off the air, RVD continued to celebrate with the rest of the ECW roster. The celebration went on for a good 15 minutes. Aside from the performers who had matches at the PPV, other notable celebrants included Justin Credible, Mikey Whipreck, Bill Alfonso, Jason and former TNA Knockout Trinity.
– Overall a very enjoyable show. Not sure how the event came across on television, but the crowd and the atmosphere made an arguably average show a winner for me.
Biggest pops:
RVD's title win
Tommy Dreamer and Terry Funk
Biggest heat:
John Cena – BY FAR
Ending of the Sabu vs. Rey Mysterio match
* Dave Scherer of PWInsider reports that the reason behind ECW not airing live tonight was because Sci-Fi is uneasy with the language used at the ECW PPV from the audience. The ECW audience is known for being pretty raunchy and Sci-Fi apparently wanted to make sure that was edited out.
* The first rating is out for ECW and it is very good. ECW scored a 2.7 cable rating last night, which is very good for the first show ever on a new network. No doubt that WWE management is very happy about this news.
* Several people in both the WWE and ECW locker rooms have said that all of the talent realizes how much the first show stunk, despite the excellent rating. Everyone realizes that the rating was not drawn off of the show's quality but general curiously over the new brand.
One source even said that Vince McMahon admitted that the show was a failure, but didn't make it well known.
There is obviously a lot of pressure to make next week's show better. The backstage feeling is that a lot of the same audience will tune in again to give ECW a second chance before tuning out for good.
* The ECW show on Tuesday did it's lowest one hour segment when Edge & John Cena appeared on the show. That either means that ECW fans flipped the channel because they didn't want to see Edge and Cena or it was just the first segment and not everyone had tuned in yet.
* When asked about Samoa Joe in a recent interview, Goldberg said that he would "break his neck."
* Justin Credible is expected to be a major factor in ECW down the line. He has been tapped to create a new "Impact Players" tag team. Although he was squashed recently by Kurt Angle, there is no indication of holding Credible down as a mid-carder. Management just wants to establish Angle as an "unstoppable-machine" sort of ala-Tazz from the old ECW days. We're told by sources that Credible has cleaned up his act in recent years and continues to have a strong relationship with Triple H and Shawn Michaels, so he has a decent shot at being a top superstar in ECW.
* Things seem to be changing in the TNA locker room for Christian Cage after one time being considered the "leader" for rejecting a contract offer from WWE to come work for Total Nonstop Action. Apparently some TNA talents are saying that he is doing what is best for his aspiring movie career instead of trying to be the best draw as a wrestler.
One source inside the TNA locker room compared Christian to Chris Jericho, claiming that his mind was on things other than wrestling.
Needless to say, Christian's backstage reputation has declined considerably since debuting with TNA in November of last year.
* Paul Heyman and Stephanie McMahon-Levesque are working in offices right beside each and surprisingly have not had any arguments. One source said that Heyman realizes his political enemies and knows that if he fails to remain calm, people are just looking for an excuse to get him demoted. Heyman has went as far as saying that he doesn't want to end up like Jim Cornette, letting political enemies get the satisfaction of his downfall.
* A fight broke out after the ECW House Show last night at the old ECW arena in Philly. The fight allegedly involving about 10 fans was over the fact that a fan was pro-John Cena at the event and this allegedly upset a group of ECW fans.
The fight happened near the exit way after the main event between Kurt Angle and RVD. It was broken up by security after a chair was thrown in. After that, another fight broke out outside the arena. It was all over the simple fact that someone or a few people were John Cena fans. I will post more details when I get them.
* Despite hopes from hardcore ECW fans, Vince McMahon is going to take full control of the ECW brand after initially giving Paul Heyman a measure of power last week. As with anything, McMahon likes to be the number one guy in charge.
* The mood in the TNA locker room has been said to be very positive as of late. Several talents have said that they feel a certain state of stability in TNA that wasn't there a year ago. Last year at this time, many wondered for TNA's future, however, now it appears to be somewhat stable.
Veterans such as AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels without WWE experience are pleased with their push as of late, which boosts the morale of the younger X Division talents.
* Multichannel News recently ran a report talking about TNA Impact averaging slightly above a 1.0 cable rating during its 11:00 pm timeslot on Spike TV Thursday nights.
TNA president Dixie Carter commented, "Wrestling has never been on at this time of night."
"We're kind of in uncharted territory, but we're having a lot of success," Carter continued.
The 1.03 average cable rating that TNA Impact has been doing is 222 percent above anything that Spike TV had in the timeslot last year.

EVANSVILLE REGIONAL ECONOMIC PARTNERSHIP
The Evansville Regional Economic Partnership is a unified organization well positioned to advance the interests of businesses,
fueling economic and community growth in the Evansville region.
There are multiple organizations in the region that operated programs and engaged in economic development. While each organization has enjoyed a tradition of accomplishment, public and private sector investors believed in an opportunity to integrate essential economic development functions into a more impactful and efficient structure. We need to think strategically about how we use the resources invested in economic development to the best advantage for our region.
PREPARED FOR REGIONAL SUCCESS
We have taken a proactive action to unify our region and its resources supporting economic development. Many others – peers, competitors – pursue mergers from a reactionary position: one born from operational necessity. While many pursue merger or organizational realignment in response to challenges, we have done so in recognition of, and in pursuit of, heightened opportunity. We are creating a structure that is nimble enough to adapt to change and clearly market our region's strengths.
Evansville Regional Economic Partnership (E-REP) promotes regional economic development and vitality through catalytic leadership, collaborative planning, and coordinated investment.
Operates regionally
Commitment to equitable prosperity

What is the new economic partnership?
The new economic partnership promotes regional economic development and vitality through catalytic leadership, collaborative planning, and coordinated investment. The new economic partnership is formed through the combination of three organizations on April 1, 2021 including the Economic Development Coalition of Southwest Indiana, Southwest Indiana Chamber and Growth Alliance for Greater Evansville. There are more exciting details to come on the official merger date of April 1, 2021.
How did the new economic partnership originate?
Over the past 15 years, the Economic Development Coalition of Southwest Indiana, Southwest Indiana Chamber and Growth Alliance for Greater Evansville have worked tirelessly – often arm-in-arm and shoulder-to-shoulder – to advance the interests of the region's businesses and fuel economic and community growth. As leaders of these organizations came together, along with other area civic and business leaders, they established a bold vision for the future growth and prosperity of Southwest Indiana. They also arrived at an important consensus: We can be even stronger and more effective together. From that realization, the idea of the new economic partnership was born.
Why is this new economic partnership better than what we had in place?
While each legacy organization that is joining the new economic partnership enjoyed a proud tradition of accomplishment, we know we can better serve our region by collaborating and unifying essential economic development functions into a single structure. In a very competitive environment for talent and opportunity, all of us who care about the Evansville region must be working together. We believe this new model will significantly advance our region's capacity to promote the strengths of the region and will provide increased opportunities for measurable success.
What happens to the former organizations?
The new economic partnership advances regional prosperity and global relevance by building on the trusted relationships and legacy of its predecessor organizations. Under this model, the merged organizations will carry forward important areas of impact including business attraction and retention, public policy, community development, entrepreneurship, talent attraction and regional planning strategy.
How is this new economic partnership funded?
The new economic partnership is a public-private partnership funded by contributions from investors in the public sector and private business as well as earned revenue from events and property management. We are working closely with those investors in the legacy organizations as we transition to the new structure. And, we are looking to increase opportunities for businesses of all sizes to play a role in helping to shape the economy of this region. We are fully committed to ensuring more opportunities for members and investors to engage in advancing inclusive growth in the Evansville region.
What is the geographic scope of the new economic partnership?
This merger will operate regionally to advance prosperity for the entire region including Gibson, Posey, Vanderburgh and Warrick Counties.

Last night Real Madrid were knocked out from the Copa del Rey by Celta Vigo and the Frenchman thinks that their second leg performance is meant what they are expected.
The 44 year French men and Real Madrid head coach Zinedine Zidane thinks that they are beaten by the full time whistle as their counterpart eliminated them from the Cop del Rey.
Last night at Balaidos Real Madrid drew that match against their opponents by 2-2 and because of that the Celta Vigo team goes through to the next round with a aggregate of 4-3.
In that match the Real Madrid's main man Cristiano Roanldo scores the first equalizer for the visitors and after that in the dying minutes the Spaniard Lucas Vazquez scored the second equalizer for them, one more goal could be enough for them but they fail to do so.
The French coach thinks that his team is just getting the position and at that moment the Referee blows the whistle.
Zidane told: "We played a great game,"
"We are disappointed but the boys played well and we ran out of time.
"Maybe if we played a few more minutes we could have won it. But it was not possible, we have to accept it and think about the league, which is next.
"I think with the game we played, all you have to do is relax and think that the cup is already far behind us and we have the league on Sunday.
"I'm responsible for this team and we are going to continue in the same way. We can and we will fight in the two competitions [La Liga and Champions League]."
Reflecting Further on this topic the Real Madrid boss added: "It's two games and we were not able to get through. We did all we could.
"What hurts is being knocked out after a performance like that because they [my players] do not deserve it.
"You blame yourself but there is nobody to blame really.
"The pity is that we didn't get what we expected. I am disappointed for the guys."

Author Kenny Eagle's new book "The Indian and the Immigrant" centers around the friendship between a Native American and a European immigrant during 19th century America
Recent release "The Indian and the Immigrant" from Page Publishing author Kenny Eagle is a riveting story of a young immigrant who arrives in America during the 1800s, hopeful to pursue his American dream. But as he experiences the bigotry and intolerance people hold for immigrants, Sheffy is forced to live on his own, making an unlikely friend along the way.
KNOX, Ind. (PRWEB) December 19, 2022
Kenny Eagle has completed his new book "The Indian and the Immigrant": a stirring tale that follows a naive immigrant attempting to find his place in 19th century America, and the circumstances that lead to his befriending a Native American in the Old West.
"This book takes place in the 1800s when the Native Americans were fighting for their way of life," writes Eagle. "During this time, many immigrants were arriving in America. This immigrant's name is Sheffy. He, too, had a dream of coming to America and saved all his money to start a new life in the free world. He would soon realize it would not be as easy as he hoped it would. From the day he left his loving parents with emotional hugs to travel a long distance in order to get on a cargo ship that he heard was destined for America. Things began going wrong as soon as he tried to board the ship. After many hurdles and setbacks, he finally arrived. He was told that new towns out west were forming because the railroad was building stations out west in small towns, and this might be a good place to start a saloon with gaming. This was his dream! He soon found out that small towns did not accept strangers well. He got set up by bad locals, and before he knew it, he was running for his life! Not knowing anything about the region, he ran smack into Indian country! While trying to gather himself in a makeshift camp, a very wise brave named Good Crow happened upon him and was carefully watching his every move. He planned on killing him if he showed any threat. After carefully watching him for a few days, Good Crow realized this man is not acting the way the outlaws acted and could not figure out why he was alone. He soon realized why when outlaws catch up to him. This was where two of the most unlikely people become friends by accident."
Published by Page Publishing, Kenny Eagle's captivating story will transport readers back through time as they experience what life was like as Americans expanded west, encroaching on Native lands and ostracizing those who were different from them. Expertly paced and character-driven, readers of all backgrounds will discover a heartwarming story of friendship and understanding as Sheffy and Good Crow grow closer in the face of adversity and hardships.
Readers who wish to experience this enthralling work can purchase "The Indian and the Immigrant" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Okey says it's the way Lee walks and his mannerisms that make him an easy target. And Lee isn't just OK with it.
'I love it,' he said with a smile about the impressions.
Imitation is all flattery with this bunch. There are no egos involved. It's an extension of the impact Lee's had on this team more than anything else.
A year ago, this proud program, with a brand new operations building and a fan base leaning toward apathy, hit the reboot button. Hall of Fame coach Jack Leggett was let go after 22 years at the helm. Lee was hired away from College of Charleston, where he spent seven seasons, to begin a reclamation project in Tiger Town.
An always difficult transition began for a ballclub that had developed a reputation, fair or not, for being tight under pressure.
Under Lee, that notion has dissolved quicker than a Seth Beer home run into a dark night.
'Even if we're getting beat by eight runs, 10 runs, whatever the case may be, never be afraid to fail,' Lee said recently. 'Continue to compete, play aggressive and do what you do. That's really been the message. I don't want our guys to be apprehensive or tentative when we play the game. I just want them to play with reckless abandon and be aggressive.'
That's the DNA of Lee's coaching style, and the Tigers have eaten it up. It's a pitch-by-pitch, inning-by-inning competition. He doesn't want his players to let the scoreboard affect that, which is difficult when dealing with 18- to 22-year-olds focused on end results.
That's why Lee doesn't talk about long-term goals, like the College World Series or conference titles.
'This team has bought into it's a team game,' Lee said. 'We do this together. It's a selfless group of guys. It is a loose and fun environment, and I've intended it to be that way and I want it to be that way.'
The Tigers went from a team picked to finish eighth overall in the ACC to a sixth-place finish in the regular season, an ACC tournament championship (first since 2006) and a national seed in the NCAA postseason. The 2016 campaign came to an end Sunday in their home regional, but Lee laid a solid foundation with a season that defied expectations.
'He came into this job and knowing some of (the players), he embraced those guys,' said Bradley LeCroy, a Clemson assistant coach and Leggett holdover. 'As soon as he did that, they started buying into what he wanted to do. And as a coaching staff, we preach the process of what we want to do throughout the year. Fortunately for us, we were able to achieve it at the end of the year.'
Lee brought in a new attitude and way of doing things, but he didn't force it upon his players. He connected with them first, showing them that if they trusted his process, success would come.
That meant accepting failure. After all, this is a game where getting a hit in 30 percent of at-bats is considered good.
That message didn't resonate every single game, though. The same can be said about Lee's early days as a coach, which stemmed from his playing time.
'I was a high intensity player. I was a football player playing baseball, so I was a constant up-and-down player because I couldn't deal with frustration and failure,' Lee said about his playing days at College of Charleston and in the minor leagues. 'When I got into coaching, I saw some of the same characteristics in kids and I realized, 'You know what, I can help a kid like this because I've been through this before and I know how it affected me as a player.''
For Lee, you can't hang onto every pitch. When he did as a player, he broke bats, chucked his helmet and threw temper tantrums.
As a young coach, he broke clipboards and got tossed out of games. There's even a YouTube video to prove the latter. But Lee noticed that when he lost his cool as a coach, the dugout would go silent and an uncomfortable feeling covered the team like a wave.
That's the exact opposite of the environment he strives to cultivate with his team.
'When I get angry, it's a mistake. When I lose my cool, it hurts us,' Lee said. 'Kids look to see how I'm going to react to situations. I try to stay cool and confident.'
That's a huge reason why the Tigers set a school record with 14 one-run victories and came from behind in nearly a third of their games this season.
'I know when we're struggling, or out of whack, during the game and Coach meets in front of the dugout, he's going to get us straight,' center fielder Chase Pinder said. 'He always does that, so I give him credit.'
LeCroy has worked under a lot of different coaching styles in his 16 years in the business. He says the way Lee motivates players and gets them to play every day is 'outstanding.'
Lee said he learned from his high school coach Randy Stokes 'what it meant to care about players.' When he was an assistant at South Carolina, Lee studied how pitching coach Mark Calvi built relationships with players. Lee's managing philosophies came from Spartanburg Methodist College's Tim Wallace and Hall of Fame former USC coach Ray Tanner.
'He's such a player's coach,' said senior pitcher Clate Schmidt, who battled cancer last summer. 'He pushes you to your limits and then beyond that to places you didn't think were possible. Without that, I wouldn't have been able to come back.
'He's been a steady person at the helm. He's been very uplifting when we were at the worst of times. Now that we're at the best of times, he's still the same coach that he was. It's been a very awesome experience.'
Consistency is the key. Lee's message in the postseason was the same in February, or even last October.
'He's always very positive,' junior shortstop Eli White said. 'He brings energy every day, even to practices; keeps us focused on what we need to focus on. I think that's a big part of why we've had success recently.'
The Tigers got off to a hot start, but went through a stretch in April where it looked like the postseason wouldn't be an option. Instead, they turned their fate around in May by winning 16 of 20 games heading into their first home regional since 2011.
There were times when Lee held his players in the outfield for more than 20 minutes after a game. Other times, he pulls them together in the dugout after giving up a big inning.
The message is always the same.
'I think the biggest thing is our guys just stayed the course,' Lee said. 'We never got too high or too low. We stayed confident and we kept plugging away every day. We tried to make the best of the opportunity we had to play and find a way to win.
'Our guys stayed very process-oriented and goal-oriented and just kept competing. I think that's been the name of the game for us. I felt good about us going down the stretch simply because I knew we hadn't lost any confidence in each other as a team.'
Lee inherited a group of players that are mostly not his own, so after winning the program's 10th ACC championship, he credited Leggett for instilling 'work ethic, toughness and character in the ballplayers that are here.'
Lee knows he's just getting started. He's trying to make Clemson a contender for Omaha every single season through recruiting. He wants to get there with pitching and defense, two areas these Tigers struggled to find consistency in at times this year.
But if there was one thing his teams at College of Charleston did, it was hit, and Leggett left plenty of offensive pieces to build around, including the phenom Beer, who stuck with his commitment to attend Clemson when other signees went elsewhere.
'I think it's pretty easy to say that we have the best coach in the nation,' Okey said. 'Coach Lee is going to do an incredible amount of things here. It's going to be special to watch.'

The AFEPA Programme is offered by a consortium of 4 European partner universities (the University of Bonn, Germany, the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences in Uppsala, Sweden, the Université Catholique de Louvain, Louvain-la-neuve, Belgium, and the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Piacenza-Cremona, Italy). Participating students spend one year each at two of the European partner universities with the possibility of a short exchange visit to an associated partner university, obtaining a double degree by the two Universities the students attend.
The AFEPA programme is financed by the Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree programme of the EU and offers scholarships to the participating students. AFEPA students aiming to obtain a scholarship are selected through a centralized procedure (more information are available at www.afepa.eu). Students of the M.Sc. in Agricultural and Food Economics at UCSC can also join the Programme during their first year of study. In this case, students cannot obtain the EMJMD scholarship, but they can use the standard Erasmus Exchange scholarships for the period they spend abroad.

The thing is that if you are planning on going out sometime during the next ten Saturdays, you'll have to count me out. And while that may seem like a positive perk, you will also have to count out a large percentage of other people, even ones you like. Because the second series of the Danish thriller, The Killing, returns to BBC4 this Saturday, and many of us will be manufacturing excuses like Olympic-calibre liars in order to avoid missing an episode.
The first series of The Killing was that most elusive televisual holy grail: water-cooler TV. Everyone, it seemed, was watching it and talking about it, even though it was in Danish, and the whole cast wore thick jumpers. In fact, the jumpers became one of the show's main selling points: Sarah Lund must be one of the least likely fashion icons of this century, and she didn't even have to wear a meat dress to do it.
Given that TV schedules are packed with unremarkable detective shows, The Killing caught a popular mood that no-one anticipated. It was the opposite of the average crime drama – instead of solving one or more murders in an hour-long episode, they went for one murder and solved it over 20 hour-long episodes. It felt more like a novel than a TV show, albeit a novel with 19 cliff-hangers.
It was also – unusually for a detective series – prepared to show pain. Most murder victims in the TV world are little more than plot points. When Poirot or DCI Barnaby turn up to investigate a murder, they aren't greeted with a cast of demolished, wounded people. The victim was annoying and unloved, so that we can better believe that any one of the suspects did the deed.
The Killing shows the agony of murder, and not just for the victim and their loved ones. They revel in the damage caused by a murder investigation: of the harm done to the suspects, the witnesses and the detectives. And because of this hyper-real sense of tragedy, viewers felt that if the worst happened to them, or someone they cared about, they wanted Sarah Lund to investigate.
Like Columbo before her (though with admittedly fewer cases where the murder weapon is a pair of Dobermans and the word 'Rosebud'), Lund is preternaturally observant and persistent. She commits to solving the crime at any cost to her personal life or her popularity. She isn't a genius, like Sherlock Holmes, she's simply better at understanding crime scenes and motives than anyone else, and she will give up the day hell freezes as hard as a Danish winter.
In other words, she is a heroine for our times: she may be a bad mother, daughter and girlfriend, but she brings certainty back into uncertain times.

Ad blocking forces IAB to admit "we messed up"
By Patricio Robles	 October 16th 2015 05:35
Ad blocking isn't new, but thanks to grim statistics that make it clear consumers are only getting more aggressive in trying to thwart online ads, some in the industry are starting to worry.
Really worry.
Yesterday, Scott Cunningham, SVP of Technology and Ad Operations at the Interactive Advertising Bureau, arguably the most prominent trade association for the online ad industry, made a stunning statement…
We messed up.
Faced with consumers now equipped to block ads on their iOS devices, Cunningham explained how publishers and advertisers shot themselves in the foot by sacrificing user experience at the altar of bigger, bolder ads.
"Through our pursuit of further automation and maximization of margins during the industrial age of media technology, we built advertising technology to optimize publishers' yield of marketing budgets that had eroded after the last recession," he explained in a blog post.
Looking back now, our scraping of dimes may have cost us dollars in consumer loyalty. The fast, scalable systems of targeting users with ever-heftier advertisements have slowed down the public internet and drained more than a few batteries.
We were so clever and so good at it that we over-engineered the capabilities of the plumbing laid down by, well, ourselves. This steamrolled the users, depleted their devices, and tried their patience.
He went on to make a damning admission on behalf of the industry:
We lost sight of our social and ethical responsibility to provide a safe, usable experience for anyone and everyone wanting to consume the content of their choice.
Will publishers and advertisers embrace LEANer ads? Will consumers tolerate them?
In an effort to restore balance and bring user experience "back into alignment" with digital ads, the IAB is launching the L.E.A.N. Ads program.
It stands for:
Ad choice supported
Non-invasive ads
According to Cunningham: "These are principles that will help guide the next phases of advertising technical standards for the global digital advertising supply chain."
But will L.E.A.N. ads actually help publishers and advertisers who have watched as ad blockers have gone from a technology used primarily by the most tech-savvy to a mainstream phenomenon?
There are reasons to be skeptical.
As Cunningham himself stated: "L.E.A.N. Ads do not replace the current advertising standards many consumers still enjoy and engage with while consuming content on our sites across all IP enabled devices.
"Rather, these principles will guide an alternative set of standards that provide choice for marketers, content providers, and consumers."
In other words, the ads that drove consumers away aren't going away.
Unless L.E.A.N. ads prove to be as or more effective as their bulkier counterparts – something that will take time to determine if they even emerge at all – there will be little incentive for publishers and advertisers to embrace them.
Furthermore, there's no guarantee that L.E.A.N. ads will actually solve the problems publishers and advertisers are facing.
After all, just because they believe L.E.A.N. ads will be less bothersome doesn't mean that consumers will agree.
To thwart increasingly aggressive ads and trackers, ad blockers themselves have become more aggressive and it's not inconceivable that consumer demand will drive makers of ad blockers to block L.E.A.N. ads too.
In fact, consumers are already voicing skepticism over L.E.A.N. ads, as the following tweet demonstrates:
The @IAB's post on how ads messed up the web is disingenuous, like Big Tobacco pushing "light cigs" to fight cancer. http://t.co/qME0aX42qN
— ⍨ Chris Messina ⍨ (@chrismessina) October 15, 2015
Publishers and advertisers must make decisions
In short, while it's a positive sign that those in the industry are finally recognizing the magnitude of the mess that has been created, they largely continue to ignore the inconvenient truth behind the rise of ad blockers: consumers just don't care to see what advertisers want to show them.
Waiting for ad units that are theoretically less annoying and invasive isn't going to change that, so publishers and advertisers that want to ensure the internet is still an effective platform for their businesses need to make decisions now.
Some advertisers are pouring money into native ads and aligning themselves with influencers, while publishers like The New York Times are seeing success with subscriptions.
In many if not most cases, alternative models won't bring back 'the good old days', but the sooner publishers and advertisers accept that the formats and models that thrived a decade ago won't dominate the next decade, the better equipped they'll be to succeed on tomorrow's web.

Are marketers overestimating mobile search?
Every month Google delivers results for about 50bn mobile searches, and in May the search giant revealed that mobile devices produce more searches than their desktop cousins in 10 countries, including the US and Japan.
So it's no surprise that marketers are paying a lot of attention to mobile search, from ensuring that their sites live up to Google's mobile-friendliness standards to pouring money into mobile paid search.

The display advertising economy is in trouble, and digital publishers are feeling it. Whether it's the rise of ad blockers, emerging news-delivery platforms, commoditized ad inventory or diminishing CPMs, there are plenty of challenges facing the industry.
Our new report, Digital Publishing: Increasing Advertiser Value Through Data and Identity, found that display ad revenue is either stagnant or shrinking for 40% of digital publishers.
