"No doubt, I feel like I am the best quarterback in this draft," Bridgewater said on Saturday. Bridgewater believes his combination of accuracy, pocket presence and competitiveness makes him stand out over Texas A&M's Johnny Manziel and UCF's Blake Bortles. Manziel is getting more buzz because of his athleticism, while Bortles has teams drooling over his ideal size and arm. Bridgewater had been No. 1 for most scouts going into the 2013 college season, and he's trying to keep that status with his own special blend of attributes....
Interest in marrying climbed modestly, by 2 percentage points overall, since the pandemic hit last year. But this interest varied across the lines that most deeply divide America today. The rich, the religious and Republicans reported the greatest overall increase in the “desire to marry” while the poor, secular Americans and Democrats reported less or no increase in marriage interest, according to a new YouGov survey of men and women aged 18-55 by the Institute for Family Studies (IFS) and the Wheatley Institution....
In 2018, California voters approved Proposition 12, a far‐reaching law designed “to prevent animal cruelty by phasing out extreme methods of farm animal confinement.” The law requires that all pork, veal, and eggs sold in the state comply with new restrictions on how the animals can be confined.

In the wake of the law, various agricultural entities filed lawsuits arguing that Prop 12 unconstitutionally crossed state borders and regulated the entire country....

For our hands-on E3 2016 demo, Nintendo offered up two separate separate experiences. One was a 20-minute free roaming portion wherein the player could explore any part of the playable area they like. Some can choose to collect resources, a new feature for Zelda on the Wii U, while others can partake of the new Zelda combat, which has a ton more options than in past games. Some even chose to completely skip the exploration and simply cook food the entire demo, and that’s perfectly viable....
And more congratulations to, who else, the Kings' Twitter account, for beating others in the ensuing Seinfeld reference stampede.
