Release Date:
July 2, 2007
The third volume in @Sony BMG's top-notch The Northern Soul Story compilation series spotlights the ~Blackpool Mecca, which rivaled the ~Wigan Casino for taste-making supremacy as British club culture's fascination with forgotten American soul reached its frenzied apex. Opened in 1965, complete with a revolving stage, free coach service, and a capacity approaching 3500, the ~Blackpool Mecca was briefly the most popular nightclub of its day, but as the decade closed, smaller, more intimate venues became the vogue, and the larger dancehalls generally fell into disrepair. However, nestled within the ~Blackpool Mecca was a smaller hall, the ~Highland Room, located above the main arena; in 1971 the ~Highland Room opened as a Northern Soul venue, hosting acts ranging from Isaac Hayes to Edwin Starr to the Chi-Lites and boasting the scene's arguably greatest one-two punch in DJs Ian Levine and Colin Curtis. Levine regularly accompanied his businessman father on overseas trips, scouring American record stores, junk shops, warehouses, and even recording studios to acquire music simply unavailable anywhere outside the U.S., and the ~Blackpool Mecca play lists would come to represent Northern soul culture at its most musically progressive and socially far-ranging. Restricted by conservative licensing laws, the club also earned renown for introducing all-dayers, essentially all-nighters beginning at noon and ending at midnight -- soon all-dayers were de rigeur for all clubs, even those exempt from similar licensing constraints. This 25-track collection is a worthy tribute, complete with superb mastering and track-by-track liner notes by British DJ Ian Dewhirst -- highlights include Lorraine Chandler's "I Can't Hold On," Lynne Randell's "Stranger in My Arms," and Lou Ragland's "I Travel Alone." ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi

The key in rugby is possession and field position. Both of which you are seeing on full display in this game.
1) Why Kick? Pooching forward has a couple advantages. If you have the speed you can get the ball back. Also it changes the field position so even if the other team gets the ball back you have the opp to win the ball back and that opp is now on their side of the field.
2) What are the rules after a tackle? This is the best explanation. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/rugby_union/rules_and_equipment/4204012.stm
3) Pitching: You can go inside toss but that is putting the ball back into traffic and the possibility of a knock (fumble forward), turnover is greater than going out to the wings and keeping possession.

|sounds like Howard was right.
Howard said, "I didn't see anybody when I went to see them practice that wanted to be great. Now I can go to a practice and I can point somebody out, 'That guy right there, he wants to be great.' I think the only guy who I saw who had that kind of swagger about him may have been Jabrill Peppers. May have been Jabrill Peppers, the true freshman. Everybody else, they were good and they were happy, but I didn't see anybody who was putting that type of effort where they wanted to be great and that's an issue."

For more than three years doctors and healthcare specialists have been trying to find a bone marrow donor, both locally and abroad, for a 13-year-old girl for whom a bone marrow transplant is the only cure.
It has been seven years since the world of Zyaan Makda, 13, and her family was turned upside down. The Cape Town family were on holiday in Johannesburg when Zyaan started experiencing earache. A visit to one doctor led to more doctor appointments and blood tests finally revealed that the young girl had heterozygote haemoglobinopathy – an incurable blood disorder.
The only cure is a bone marrow transplant and Zyaan has been waiting for a donor for more than three years. In the meantime, she has to rely on blood transfusions and has had 134 of them since 2004. The veins in her hands have collapsed and she had a port put in her chest in 2014. She has had her gallbladder and gallstones removed and has under-active thyroid disease, as well. She needs blood transfusions every two weeks.
Yet Zyaan remains positive and upbeat, always ready with a smile. She seems like any other pretty, normal teenager of her age. But unlike most teenagers, she is frequently absent from school for medical reasons and cannot take part in sports. Her illness has given her a maturity and wisdom beyond her years. "In a way, it has helped me become the person that I am today," she says.
Her mother, Fameda Govender, says, "We started three years ago to search for a bone marrow donor, but there weren't any matches in SA. Her siblings are not matches for her either. I think honestly, that we have stopped waiting for a donor and have just started living again."
Chris Moir of the Sunflower Fund says there is a desperate need for more bone marrow donors, especially from key population groups. Currently, the South African Bone Marrow Registry (SABMR) donor profile is 71% white, 8% Asian; 6% Coloured and 5% black. Donor matches depend on tissue types – not blood types – and genetic characteristics are often more frequent in a specific race group.
The Sunflower Fund raises awareness and campaigns for both blood and bone marrow donors, due to the lack of information and general ignorance that still exists around bone marrow donation. "One of the biggest problems is the huge misconception around bone marrow stem cell transplants. People think we drill into bones, which is totally inaccurate, so there is a lot of stigma," says Moir.
The Bone Marrow Registry (SABMR) estimates that one in 600 children will develop leukemia or a blood disorder and may need a bone marrow transplant.
Zyaan's illness has also been hard on Fameda. Due to the unemployment of Zyaan's father, a diesel mechanic, the family has moved in with Fameda's father to cut down on costs. Although medical aid covers most of Zyaan's medical expenses, there are other costs, including transport, that need to be covered.
But Fameda is grateful for the support of her family and for staff at the Red Cross Children's Hospital, as well as those at The Sunflower Fund. She also says since Zyaan decided to live each day as if it were her last, her outlook on life changed. "She laughs more, she is happy again and she faces each new challenge that arises head-on. She started high school this year, at Spine Road High and is a straight-A student!"
She adds, "We became so consumed with finding a match for Zyaan that we started losing focus on what was really important, which was the fact that Zyaan was still with us and we needed to start appreciating each day that we had with her. It was time for us as a family, to not make the disease the focus of our family, but to make our family the focus again."

text: 816 FXUS66 KMTR 282255 AFDMTR Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Francisco Bay Area 355 PM PDT THU JUL 28 2016 .SYNOPSIS...Very warm and dry conditions will persist inland through Friday as high pressure remains aloft. Meanwhile, cooler conditions will continue near the coast as a result of onshore flow. A region- wide cooling trend is then forecast for the upcoming weekend as an upper level trough develops off of the Pacific Northwest Coast. && .DISCUSSION...as of 01:46 PM PDT Thursday...Very warm conditions persist again this afternoon as a strong ridge of high pressure remains over much of the southwestern portion of the country. In addition, above the 1000 foot deep marine layer, very dry conditions continue. While the marine layer has mixed out some this afternoon, do expect low clouds to spread locally inland again tonight and linger into early Friday morning. Afternoon conditions on Friday will be similar to today as the ridge aloft remains the dominate weather feature. Temperatures cool slightly on Saturday as the ridge weakens and onshore flow increases. Further cooling, especially inland, is forecast for Sunday and into early next week as the ridge shifts to the east ahead of a mid/upper level trough forecast to push inland into the Pacific Northwest. Overall, temperatures will fall back to near seasonal averages from Sunday into early part of next week. Warmest conditions will be inland while cooler temperatures persist near the coast given a persistent onshore flow. Also, expecting the marine layer to deepen slightly this weekend into early next week with overnight and morning low clouds spreading locally inland. Dry weather conditions are also forecast to prevail through the forecast period. && .AVIATION...as of 10:50 AM PDT Thursday... Soberanes fire smoke is less concentrated around the region this morning... leading to improved visibilities and ceilings versus previous few mornings. A compressed marine layer did nudge itself slightly inland last night and lead to very low ceilings/visibilities, especially when combined with any lingering smoke around the Monterey Bay region. The marine layer has now retreated and widespread VFR is now being reported across all TAF sites. Expect a similar early return of VLIFR along the immediate coast by 03-04Z. Smoke plume is expected to be thickest southeast of the Soberanes fire today. Vicinity of KSFO...VFR with onshore winds AOA 15KT. MVFR/IFR cigs posbl around sunrise tomorrow. SFO Bridge Approach...Similar to KSFO. Monterey Bay Terminals...VFR with several layers of lingering smoke from 3000 and above this morning. Bulk of smoke should be aimed away from KMRY but some will infiltrate the airport into the afternoon. Early return of VLIFR-LIFR cigs/visbys by 03/04Z posbl. && .FIRE WEATHER...as of 3:55 AM PDT Thursday...Smoke is still lingering around the fire district today as transport winds remain relatively light with varying directions through the vertical. Tomorrow smoke transport winds in the Monterey area look to become more from the south direction. This may bring more smoke to Salinas and Monterey as well as into the Santa Clara Valley. The marine layer mixed out a bit today but according to the Fort Ord profiler it is holding steady at 800 to 1000 feet. Low clouds are anticipated to return to Monterey airport by around 0300Z this evening. && .MARINE...as of 03:32 PM PDT Thursday...Light to moderate north winds will continue over the coastal waters today. Winds will be strongest over the northern outer waters and north of the Bay Bridge. A mixed swell will continue in the coastal waters. A longer period southwest swell arrives later in the week as a tropical storm weakens. && .MTR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... .Tngt...SCA...SF Bay until 3 AM SCA...Pt Arena to Pigeon Pt 10-60 nm until 3 AM && $$ PUBLIC FORECAST: RGass AVIATION: DRP MARINE: DRP FIRE WEATHER: Sims Visit us at www.weather.gov/sanfrancisco Follow us on Facebook and twitter at: www.Facebook.com/nwsbayarea www.twitter.com/nwsbayarea

Hunger often brings many other problems to the forefront in schools – disruptive behavior in class, poor or falling grades, and health problems.
Free and reduced-priced lunch programs have made in-roads in stemming the hunger problem in the nation's schools, but the problem is exacerbated when those same children return to school on Monday morning – hungry from a lack of food at home over the weekend.
To combat this problem, the Backpack Buddy system was implemented at Cartmell Elementary School this year.
Volunteers fill 50 backpacks on Friday afternoons with nonperishable foods and fresh fruits that a child can eat over the weekend, said Charlotte Curnutt, family liason with the Kentucky Encouraging Youth to Succeed, or KEYS, program.
KEYS is a statewide initiative that works to improve the education of young people in the state; ensuring that children have food on the weekends is critical to learning, Curnutt said.
The Backpack Buddy program is an effort to see to it that at-risk children aren't going hungry over the weekend when they go home. The backpacks are filled with foods that are easy to fix and doesn't need refrigeration.
On Friday during a break at the end of the day, the backpacks are discreetly distributed to those children who have been identified as at-risk. The children return the backpacks on Monday morning, Curnutt said.
Inside the backpacks can be found food such as microwaveable pasta or chili, beans and franks, tuna, hot or cold cereal, shelf-stable milk, mixed-fruit cups, fruit-juice boxes, pudding, granola bars and crackers.
The Dare to Care food bank in Louisville, Ky., has donated the backpacks and the food for the backpacks from a menu created by a nutritionist to provide a balanced assortment of food.
Cartmell Elementary is the only school in the Carroll County school system that was selected to participate.

Welcome to Open Discussion
Welcome to Open Discussion
Thanks for linux process explorer!
some improve suggestions:
process properties window:
- should be bigger (about +100px height, +100px width
- does not need a "ok" button since it gets closed with "Esc" key
- tab "image": Labels "current directory", "Command line" and "Started" are cut on the left
- tab "image": should show CPU time and nice (or in tab "performance")
- tab "performance" does not show anything but stays empty, same for "threads", "Security" and "Strings"
- tab "performance graph" could show shared/private memory or VIRT/RES/SHR like htop does, show overlay on hovering
- tab "performance graph": graphs should be labeled, horizontally (time) and vertically (% for CPU load, kB/MB for Memory, …)
- tab "TCP/IP": show in table, resolve host names
main window, table:
- columns in main window should automatically fit screen width or should be at least 5 chars wide
- process | set priority does not do anything. It should need administrative privileges. Please do
a) request these privileges
b) inform the user that he is not allowed to do this and disable menu Items
- search function for process names
- please do NOT place context menu directly under cursor position, one may accidentially click a menu item!
- why are process names set in braces?
- how about additional columns, e.g. CPU Time, priority, nice, like htop does
- show successive lines in different colors, e.g. every second line is light gray instead of white
- open process properties window for current selected thread on pressing or and on double-click
- remember column settings
main window, menu/toolbar:
- use toolbar for some (toggle-)buttons, e.g. "Tree view" "processes from all users"
- show information (overlay) on hovering graphs (in main window and system information window)
- help | about (menu) does not do anything for me. should it start a browser?
- key bindings
- remember window size
- add function to search for open file (with lsof) like "search for handle or DLL" on windows procexp
- show detailed memory information in system information window (e.g. different colors by user, different color for cache, maybe different color for shared memory)
- show linux commands you used to get this information (in status bar)
- process explorer can not be stopped by pressing CTRL+C on console, python or procexp does not handle this correctly
- I am getting this error when starting process explorer from console:
(<unknown>:15522): Gtk-WARNING **: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodules/im-ibus.so: falsche ELF-Klasse: ELFCLASS64
(<unknown>:17192): Gtk-WARNING **: Loading IM context type 'ibus' failed
("falsche ELF-Klasse" means wrong ELF-Class, translated from German)
I use gnome3, ibus and python-ibus are installed. The file /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodules/im-ibus.so exists but is an 64bit ELF since I am running Linux x86-64
- does not need a "ok" button since it gets closed with "Esc" key
changed my opinion, this functionality is good/correct.
Since you didn't compile procexp, the ELF Error does no more occur. Furthermore you can use the same i386 debian package for amd64. This package should be marked as architecture-independend
Hi Chris,
Thanks for your comments. When I hive time, i will process them.
> process explorer can not be stopped by pressing CTRL+C on console, python or procexp does not handle this correctly
This one is already solved in latest version.
The empty tabs are there because the functionality is not implemented yet.
Some questions:
- Wich platform/version dou you use and which download (source or debian installer?
- What is your use case for using this tool?
Best regards
I'm currently using Ubuntu 11.10 amd64 with procexp 1.0 from sources since dpkg/apt/synaptic don't like x386 packages. But the contents of this package you uploaded to https://sourceforge.net/projects/procexp/files/bin_v1.0/ in fact is just python interpretable code ("source code") and not compiled thus architecture-independend.
Use case is the same as htop/gnome-system-monitor, but procexp is more comfortable:
• analyse which process is producing CPU load, Network load, RAM usage
• which process is using TCP/IP, connecting to which IP, look up if they use TOR
• stop/kill hang up processes
• testing applications / finding bugs
• home use only (no server)
Ok, monitoring RAM usage does not work at the moment, but that's no big problem…
Hi Chris,
Just checked in a minor fix, the CTRL-C issue I mentioned earlier.
Interesting that RAM usage monitoring does not work?
Thanks, Carl.
"View | System Information" shows memory usage, but for the whole OS
The main window/table does not show any information on memory usage, just these columns: "Process | PID | CPU | Command Line | User | Chan | #thread" instead htop does display "VIRT | RES | SHR" and gnome-system-monitor shows one memory usage number.
The properties window does display memory information in "Performance Graph" Tab, but that's not very intuitional… .
Hello Chris,
I Understand: the memory figures should be in the main screen also: system wide memeory usage, and also columns per process.
Yeah, that's what I meant.
btw: thanks for the architecture-independent debian package, works fine! But you may rename /usr/bin/procexp.sh to /usr/bin/procexp .
And if you had a symbol for procexp you could bundle it in /usr/share/icons/hicolor/… and bunde a file /usr/share/applications/procexp.desktop with these contents:
[Desktop Entry] Type=Application Version=1.0 Name=Linux Process Explorer GenericName=System monitoring tool Comment=Fast and secure web browser and Internet suite Icon=/usr/share/icons/path/to/procexp/icon Exec=procexp Terminal=false Categories=Utility;System;Qt; StartupNotify=true X-AppInstall-Package=procexp
Hello Chris,
thanks for the recipe, i will implement it asap.
there is a lot to do as a result of your comments :-), the target is to get procexp in the end in standard ubuntu/debian distro's!
best regards,
Hello Chris,
added a new version with some of your packaging hints added. The renaming of procexp.sh to procexp ran into too much difficulty: debian package tooling complains withs ome strange things I do not understand withinb reasonable time :-)
Can you test it?
best regards
the .desktop file works (using Gnome 3). No problems reported from dpkg while installing procexp package. I did remove the old version manually since replacing didn't work.
btw: there are some encoding problems, see this screenshot: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/833/screenshotuu.png/ There are problems with German umlauts ä, ö, ü and ß just as '–'
And sorry, it is still /usr/bin/procexp.sh instead of /usr/bin/procexp
Hello Chris,
thanks for testing. I start now with an overhaul of the code and refactoring (hopefully with some self tests) to increase maintainability and to get ready for the implementation of the remaining fuctionality and your previous improvement hints.
Please check the project regurlarly, as i promote "often release"
best regards,
No problem! Good luck!
Right: "Release early, release often" ;)
I'll keep testing what you release to https://sourceforge.net/projects/procexp/files/ (I subscribed via RSS Feed)

YEREVAN - The hang-ups about employability that affect the university sector are refreshingly lacking in professional higher education.
For the academic year 2015-2016, students in Romania wish to learn in fair universities – in which the acts of corruption are unheard of and where the terms "plagiarism" and "bribe" are not tolerated. They want to learn in well-funded universities – accordingly to their needs and performances, universities that are capable of providing quality education, with sufficient scholarships that cover the monthly expenses for accommodation and meals, where accommodation is sufficient for all students who request it and it provides decent living and study conditions, where allowances for transport are provided for all students throughout the academic year and where the laboratories, study halls and libraries are equipped with appropriate and up to date teaching materials.
The National Alliance of Student Organizations in Romania (ANOSR), at the start of the new academic year, is giving the alarm on the most important issues faced by the higher education system in Romania at the moment: corruption and underfunding.
Corruption cases in universities are increasingly brought to public attention: from teachers who receive bribes, to plagiarized papers and articles submitted by teachers or students. These cases concern us all and determine us to ask for more severe penalties for those who violate the law and regulations. If in cases of bribe taking and giving the relevant authorities act promptly, we believe that we need a greater concern from educational institutions to combat and punish plagiarism. Intellectual theft should not be tolerated at any time and those who commit such acts must be sanctioned extremely harsh and be immediately expelled from academic communities. Also, in order to combat corruption in universities, an effective information and prevention campaign for all the actors in the system is needed, as well as a greater involvement and cooperation between central and local institutions in the field of education.
This year as well, the beginning of the academic year is marked by insufficient financing of the Romanian education system. In addition, the higher education system faces a high dropout rate and access and equity policies are insufficiently promoted and implemented. This leads to students from disadvantaged environments facing many obstacles in pursuing a university course. Thus, we expect that this fall the Budget Law for 2016 will bring significant increases in education funding, by compliance with the Law of Education which provides for the allocation of at least 6% of GDP for education. We recall that investment in education is an investment in the future of Romania!
More information on ANOSR website.
What defines a great professor? A Bologna Professor – or a Cool Teacher, as we call him – is that great individual passionate about education, the teacher who enlightens young minds, a partner of the students in the educational process.
From March 25 to June 4, The National Alliance of Student Organizations in Romania (ANOSR) will hold 6 debates on topics of interest for the Romanian higher education system in 6 different cities (Timi?oara, Ia?i, Sibiu, Cluj-Napoca, Suceava, Alba Iulia), during the second edition of the Bologna in Universities project. These events are listed in the calendar of activities organized under the aegis of the National Debate for Education and Research - "Romania Educated".
The National Alliance of Student Organizations in Romania adopted, with student leaders from across the country, a study that condemned the phenomenon of plagiarism which is increasing in the Romanian education system, while also condemning the severe violations on ethics and academic integrity arising in this system.
The end of the year is the period when parliamentarians are voting state budget for the next year. Debates related to higher education budget were closely followed by our national board.
ESU was invited to participate as a project partner in a new Erasmus+ project, namely: "European Forum for Enhanced Collaboration in Teaching (EFFECT). The project brings together experts, dedicated networks, organisations and institutions from different parts of Europe, and provides an innovative and transferable approach to higher education teaching staff development.
This resolution was adopted at BM68 in support of ANOSR.
This is a statement, adopted at BM68 in Yerevan, before the Ministerial Conference
Given the low allocations Romania directs towards education, ESU urges the Romanian government to acknowledge the importance of investments in this sector and ensure a proper financing.

Brooklyn Nets big man Mason Plumlee was added to the 2014-16 USA Basketball national team roster on Tuesday, and is a finalist for the World Cup roster.
"It's quite an honor to be added to the National Team and to be a finalist for the World Cup roster," Plumlee said in a statement released by the Nets. "I am very much looking forward to training camp in Chicago as the next step in representing our country as a member of USA Basketball."
Mason Plumlee
Brooklyn Nets
Plumlee is one of 16 finalists for the roster. Team USA opens its World Cup against Finland on Aug. 30, and the roster must be pared down to 12 before then.
Plumlee, it appeared, was only going to be a member of the select team that practiced against Team USA. But ESPN.com's Brian Windhorst reported last week that Plumlee was likely to make the team over DeMarcus Cousins at center.
Plumlee had been impressive in practices and posted 10 third-quarter points in the team's scrimmage Friday night before Paul George suffered a gruesome leg injury.
"We needed to bring all our big guys forward and to take a better look at the big guys, and so all four of the guys -- Anthony [Davis], DeMarcus [Cousins], Andre [Drummond] and Mason -- were brought forward," Team USA coach Mike Krzyzewski, who coached Plumlee at Duke, said.
"He's a surprise in that he was not in the original 19, but he did such a good job with the select group, and we needed another player to make it 20 so it was easier to practice that way. Mason made a mark during the week and in the second half of the scrimmage he did very well. So he's in consideration, no question."
Plumlee, entering only his second season in the NBA, doesn't have the credentials that the other players do. But his athleticism would certainly be an asset -- especially in international competition.
"This phase of the selection process was extremely difficult and very thorough, and it's worth again mentioning that we are looking to select the best team, which are not necessarily the best players," managing director Jerry Colangelo said in a statement.
Cousins told the Sacramento Bee over the weekend that he would be "crushed" if he didn't make the team.
Plumlee, 24, was named to the All-Rookie first team in 2013-14 after leading all first-year pros in shooting (65.9 percent) and player efficiency rating (19.09).
"He's basically doing what he did his senior year at Duke when he was rated the top big guy in the country," Krzyzewski said. "He talks, he's enthusiastic, he really runs the court well, he plays good defense. Being with the Nets and being around veterans I think only helps him -- especially being around Kevin Garnett. He's an easy guy to play with for these guys. He doesn't need the ball long and does the dirty work. He's an athlete, a big athlete and hopefully could be a good defender."

Packers Pride
Green Bay Greats Share their Favorite Memories
By LeRoy Butler, Rob Reischel

The Men Under Center
Zeke Bratkowski
The job of backup quarterback isn't glamorous. It's never led to mega-endorsement deals, enormous publicity, or great acclaim.
But having a top-notch No. 2 quarterback is often vital to the success of a team.
Never was that more evident than the 1965 Western Conference Championship Game between Green Bay and Baltimore.
On the first play of the game, Colts linebacker Don Shinnick returned a Bill Anderson fumble 25 yards for a touchdown and Packers starter Bart Starr injured his ribs chasing Shinnick. But backup Zeke Bratkowski came on and led the Packers to a memorable 13–10 overtime win.
The next week, Starr was back and guided Green Bay past Cleveland 23–12 for the NFL championship. But it's doubtful the Packers would have ever been in that position were it not for Bratkowski.
"Bart and I never talked about No. 1 quarterbacks. We both had to be ready to go," Bratkowski said. "And we worked so close together and became such close friends. We studied together, we thought alike, and I think I made his job easier."
Bratkowski certainly made things easier for the Packers on that cold December day.
Bratkowski completed 22 of 39 passes for 248 yards. He also led Green Bay to a late Don Chandler field goal — one which Colts loyalists insist to this day sailed wide right — that forced overtime.
Green Bay won the game 13–10, when Chandler connected on a 25-yard field goal less than two minutes into OT.
Interestingly, the banged-up Colts were missing their top two quarterbacks that day, and had to turn to halfback Tom Matte. Green Bay held Matte to just five completions, and when Bratkowski got the better of the quarterback matchup, the Packers advanced to the NFL Championship Game.
"I'd like people to say, 'If we didn't have Zeke, I don't know what we would have done. He was always a guy who performed when Bart couldn't go,'" Bratkowski said. "You always knew you were just one play away from going in, and that happened a bunch of times. You just had to be ready."
Bratkowski was always that.
He played under the legendary George Halas in Chicago from 1954 to 1960, missing the 1955 and '56 seasons to fulfill a commitment to the Air Force. While many players would be bitter about losing two years in their prime, Bratkowski was anything but. In fact, he loved his time in the service and even served on the same flight team as future teammate Max McGee.
"I wouldn't trade my wings for anything," Bratkowski said. "That was an obligation I had and I'm proud I fulfilled it."
Bratkowski was Chicago's primary backup through 1960, then got a chance to start for two years with the Los Angeles Rams. But when the Rams drafted a pair of young quarterbacks in 1963, Bratkowski knew his days were numbered and shortly thereafter he was traded to Green Bay.
"I was really excited," Bratkowski said of the move. "The day before, I had gone in and won the game for us. The next day I got traded. I knew I really didn't fit in their plans."
But he was a big part of the Packers' plans. Green Bay's backup quarterback situation was in flux, but the addition of Bratkowski stabilized the position.
Over the next six years, Bratkowski started eight games when Starr was injured. And in that time, he threw for nearly 2,800 yards, 16 touchdowns, and completed 53.5 percent of his passes.
In addition to being one of the NFL's elite backup quarterbacks, Bratkowski was also Starr's trusty sidekick, his best friend, and sounding board.
"He was the best backup quarterback in the league," Starr said. "We were really blessed to have him."
What Bratkowski gave the Packers was more than just a security blanket. He also brought a level of professionalism, dedication and work ethic that rubbed off on teammates.
And his contributions went a long way toward Green Bay winning four championships during his seven years with the team (1963–68 and 1971).
Bratkowski certainly made Green Bay coach Vince Lombardi's life easier, although you wouldn't always know it. Because Bratkowski played under Halas and served in the Air Force, his skin was thicker than most players. And Lombardi was legendary for knowing who he could get on and who needed to be handled with kid gloves.
"I remember there was one year we were playing Dallas in the preseason and we scored two really quick touchdowns," Bratkowski said. "I came off the field feeling pretty good and Lombardi hollers at me, 'What the hell are you doing? You're scoring too fast. How do you expect me to get this team into shape if you're scoring that fast?' But that was Lombardi, always keeping you off balance."
Lombardi had a great affection for Bratkowski, though, and even offered him a job with Washington when he left for the Redskins in 1968. But part of the deal in Lombardi's departure was that the Packers wouldn't allow him to take anyone else from the organization.
That certainly didn't stop Bratkowski from a long and successful coaching career, though. Over the next 26 years, he worked as the offensive coordinator in Chicago, Baltimore, Indianapolis, Philadelphia, and with the New York Jets. He was also a quarterbacks coach with Cleveland and the Jets and worked two stints as a Packers assistant.
Bratkowski was Green Bay's offensive backs coach under Phil Bengtson in 1969–70, then came back to work for his old friend Starr from 1975 to 1981. Along the way, he worked with standout quarterbacks such as Randall Cunningham, Boomer Esiason, Lynn Dickey, and Jim McMahon.
"I wish I could have been a head coach," Bratkowski said. "I was just never in the right place at the right time."
But Bratkowski was certainly in the right place during the 1965 NFL Championship Game. And without his steady hand, the Packers may have gone without a title that season.
"That's a nice thing to be remembered for," Bratkowski said. "Those were great teams with terrific guys. And that championship in '65 was important, because it was the first of three straight.
"To be part of that was really neat. And to have had a hand in such a big game is pretty special."
Lynn Dickey
Lynn Dickey was covered in sweat. He was physically and mentally exhausted.
Dickey had left everything he had on Lambeau Field. And as the Green Bay Packers quarterback looked up at the scoreboard, all he could do was shake his head.
"I walked over to [kicker] Jan [Stenerud] and I said, 'Do you believe this? We're going to lose this game. What a shame.'"
Not so fast.
Dickey's Packers led Washington 48–47 during a 1983 Monday Night Football game that ranks among the most exciting ever played. But the Redskins had driven into field goal range, and ace kicker Mark Moseley was set to try a 39-yard field goal on the game's final play.
"Moseley was automatic," Dickey said. "You always hope he might miss, but really, I thought we were done."
Rightfully so.
Moseley had been the NFL's MVP in 1982, when he connected on 20 of 21 field goal attempts. And with Moseley off to another terrific start in 1983, it looked like the efforts of Dickey and Green Bay's high-powered offense would be wasted.
Amazingly, though, Moseley missed this kick as time expired. And Green Bay and its sellout crowd celebrated on a chilly October 17 night.
"We kind of rushed it," Moseley said afterward. "Maybe we should have taken more time. I just missed the kick."
Moseley's miss allowed Dickey to walk off the field victorious in one of his finest moments as a Packer. Dickey threw for 387 yards and three touchdowns that night, as the Packers beat a Washington team that would go on and play in the Super Bowl three months later.
"Listening to people talk about that game today, you'd think about 250,000 people were there that night," Dickey said. "Almost everyone I talk to tells me they were there."
Dickey was just happy to be there himself.
Back in 1976, Dickey was a backup in Houston and simply wanted a chance to prove he could lead an NFL team.
Packers coach and general manager Bart Starr gave Dickey that chance when he sent washed-up quarterback John Hadl, defensive back Ken Ellis, and a pair of mid-round draft picks to the Oilers for Dickey.
"Bart's the guy who gave me a chance," Dickey said. "Bart's one of the few guys out there who believed in me."
Turns out Starr's leap of faith was a pretty wise one.
During Dickey's nine-year stint in Green Bay, he threw for 21,369 yards and 133 touchdowns. He still ranks No. 2 in Packer history for most passing yards in a season (4,458 in 1983) and most passing yards in a game (418 against Tampa Bay in 1980). He's also No. 2 in most consecutive completions (18 vs. Houston in 1983) and most consecutive 300-yard passing games (three in 1984).
"Playing in Green Bay was a great experience for me," Dickey said. "I enjoyed it immensely. I wanted to get out of Houston and get the opportunity to play and Bart had enough confidence in me to give me the chance. It was a wonderful time in my life."
Dickey led some of the most exciting offensive teams in the NFL during the early 1980s. With pass-catching targets such as James Lofton, John Jefferson, and Paul Coffman, Green Bay averaged 26.8 points per game in 1983, the most since the 1962 bunch averaged 29.6 on their way to an NFL championship.
Between 1981 and 1985, when Dickey started 63 of 73 games, the Packers averaged 23.4 points per game. Unfortunately, they also allowed 22.4 points per outing.
For the most part, that meant mediocrity, as Green Bay went 8–8 in four of those seasons. The 1982 campaign, in which the Packers went 5–3–1 and reached the second round of the playoffs, was the lone exception.
"How many years in a row did we go 8–8?" Dickey asked, knowing the answer, but electing to forget. "We had a decent team, but it was always one thing or another.
"One year, the offense would roll but the defense would give up a lot of points. Then the defense would play well and the offense wouldn't.
"Year-in and year-out, if you have a defense that can stop the run and an offense that can run the football, you're going to be one of the better teams in the league. And we didn't do well in those things."
Which meant Dickey stayed plenty busy. With a leaky defense and without a 1,000-yard rusher, Dickey and his sensational receiving targets were often asked to carry the team.
While Dickey embraced the opportunity, opposing defensive players often embraced him. Through the years, the less-than-agile Dickey suffered great punishment and would eventually have 10 different surgeries — four on a broken leg, three on his knee, two on his right shoulder, and one on a dislocated hip.
Dickey had plenty of weapons at his disposal. Lofton and Jefferson were as dangerous as almost any receiving duo in football. And while Coffman didn't possess great speed, his moves were second to none.
"I had no problem with my weapons," Dickey said. "That was a fun offense to be part of."
The crowning moment came during that Monday night game against Washington.
On that night, the two teams combined for 1,025 yards of total offense, 552 from the Redskins and 473 from Green Bay. The fourth quarter featured five lead changes, and to this day, remains the highest-scoring contest in the history of Monday Night Football. That's no small feat considering the 43-year show has produced nearly 700 games.
Washington entered as a five-point favorite. The Packers, on the other hand, were a mediocre team that would finish the year 8–8 in what would be Bart Starr's ninth and final season as head coach.
Before the game, the mild-mannered Starr gathered his team, turned out the lights and put on an overhead projector. Up came a quote from Redskins tight end Don Warren that read, "The game is going to be a rout."
"Bart showed us all the quote again," Dickey said. "But then he said something new. He said, '[Warren] thinks it's going to be rout. But he never said which way. Now let's go kick some ass!' Now that was cool! Bart just never said stuff like that. I'll never forget that."
The night was unforgettable on many levels, though.
Packers tight end Paul Coffman, who caught six passes for 124 yards that night, had two first-half touchdowns as Green Bay raced to a 24–20 lead at intermission.
"I remember getting home after that game and friends of mine from around the league had left messages like, 'You're going back to the Pro Bowl,'" Coffman recalled. "That was a great game."
The second half was a see-saw affair, and Washington took a 47–45 lead after Theismann threw a five-yard TD pass to running back Joe Washington. Back came the Packers, though, marching 56 yards to set up Stenerud for a 20-yard field goal with just 54 seconds left that gave Green Bay a 48–47 lead.
That drive capped an unforgettable night for Green Bay's offense. Coordinator Bob Schnelker had a terrific game plan, the Packers' skill players were outstanding, and the offensive line stymied Redskins standout defensive end Dexter Manley.
"Dexter had kind of spouted off in the papers before that game that he was going to wreak havoc," Packers left tackle Karl Swanke said. "Well, there were no disruptions with Lynn.
"And that night was a culmination for Bob Schnelker and our offense. Everything he called worked to perfection. It was an incredible night."
After the 1983 campaign, Starr was replaced by Forrest Gregg. And following two more 8–8 seasons, Gregg had pretty much cleaned house.
That meant Randy Wright was Gregg's quarterbacking choice in 1986 and Dickey was gone. Two seasons later, Gregg was gone himself.
"Bart and Forrest were like night and day," Dickey said. "Bart would work you extremely hard physically. I've never worked harder than I did under Bart. But he treated people with decency and treated you like a man.
"Forrest came in and he yelled at you and he insulted you in front of the team. Some things went on with him that would never work at any level.
"I remember our first meeting with Forrest, he was berating guys he didn't even know. He said, 'Some of you guys have been living on easy street. Like you [Larry] McCarren.' Well, Larry McCarren was probably the hardest-working guy on the team, making about $220,000 a year.
"Forrest knew his X's and O's, but he had no idea about people skills. And he brought in his own guys and they walked all over him.
"They were late for meetings and Forrest would say, 'If that happens again you'll be out of here.' Well by the 10 week of the year, it was the same idle threats. They knew they weren't going anywhere. It was a bad situation."
Dickey still watches the Packers, and the entire league for that matter, religiously.
He's a member of the Packer Hall of Fame and still attends several Packer-related functions. And he'll always reflect on his days in a Green Bay uniform with a smile.
"The fans there are like no other," Dickey said. "I always said if you're 14–0 or 0–14, the stands are going to be full and the people will support you.
"And to be honest, while I was playing I realized how lucky I was to be doing the thing that I wanted to do. How many people can say that? It was a great time."
Brett Favre
Here's why there will never be another Brett Favre in the world — ever — and I tell people this all the time. He broke the mold. I've heard the rumors about him not studying and all that, but believe me, that's completely untrue.
He was maybe one of the smartest quarterbacks to ever play the game. I don't know who put those rumors out there, but I remember a writer — a national writer — asked me about it in 1997. He said, "Is Brett just getting by on talent?"
I said, "Dude, the guy gets there early, he stays late, and he loves his teammates."
He knew the playbook. He knew it as well as anybody in that building. And if you know the playbook like that, do you really need to be there 15 hours? You know your stuff, you run the same offense every year, so what if you're not sleeping at the facility.
But here's why they'll never be another Brett Favre. When Brett Favre got there, you had black guys playing a game of spades, white guys playing backgammon, the younger guys playing video games, the older guys playing hearts.
But it was different once Brett got there. Brett fit in with every culture.
He'd go over to the brothers and listen to hip-hop. He'd go over to the white guys and listen to country. He'd go hang out with the hunters, he'd go hang with the young guys. There was no guy that ever did that.
