Tito Ortiz
Real Name
Jacob Ortiz
Date of Birth
January 23, 1975
Place of Birth
While a lot of people are aware of the match at Wrestlemania 1 featuring Wendi Richter going up against Leilani Kai, accompanied by the Fabulous Moolah, not a lot of people know the connection between the trio. Richter actually trained at the school owned by Moolah. One of her trainers was none other than Kai herself.
March 2, 2014
It has been heavily rumored that WWE has already signed an agreement with Mr T to induct him into the hall of fame at Wrestlemania 30. The top choice to induct him is Roddy Piper, whom the company has forgiven and brought back with open arms. The move makes sense, as Piper, Mr T and Hulk Hogan were a huge part of Wrestlemania 1.
February 17, 2014
While many wrestling fan only remember him for his extremely quick loss to King Kong Bundy at Wrestlemania 1, SD Jones actually had a few other memorable moments in his career. He was once given the honor of teaming up with Andre the Giant when the legendary WWE star needed someone to help him in his feud against Ken Patera and Big John Studd.
April 17, 2013
In the historic main event of Wrestlemania 1, Hulk Hogan and Mr T, accompanied by Jimmy Snuka, took on Roddy Piper and Paul Orndorff, who were accompanied by Bob Orton. Hogan managed to get pin fall victory after Orton accidentally hit Orndorff with his cast from the top ropes. WWE had several celebrities involved in the event.
March 31, 1985
At Wrestlemania 1, Wendi Richter, accompanied by Cyndi Lauper, challenged Leilani Kai, accompanied by the Fabulous Moolah, for the WWE Women's Championship and was successfully able to capture the belt. Both managers became involved during the match.
March 31, 1985
Andre the Giant and Big John Studd were two of the biggest performers in the entire world of professional wrestling, and the two of them locked horns at Wrestlemania 1. Since Andre was able to slam Studd during the match, he was able to avoid forced retirement and collect a $15000 prize. He handed out the money until Bobby Heenan stole it and ran backstage.
March 31, 1985
Freddie Blassie led Nikolai Volkov and the Iron Sheik to the ring, as the evil foreign team challenged Mike Rotunda and Barry Windham, collectively known as the US Express and accompanied by Freddie Blassie. It would be the first ever title change to take place at Wrestlemania 1.
March 31, 1985
The very first championship match at Wrestlemania 1 occurred when Greg Valentine, who was managed by Jimmy Hart, defeated the WWE Intercontinental Championship against the Junkyard Dog. The popular star won via count out, which meant that Valentine was allowed to keep his belt.
March 31, 1985
The legendary Bruno Sammartino accompanied his son David Sammartino during his match at Wrestlemania 1 against Brutus Beefcake, who was being managed by Johnny Valiant. Both managers became involved in the match and the match ended in a no contest.
March 31, 1985
The third match at Wrestlemania 1 was a rather quick one, as Ricky Steamboat defeated Matt Borne in less than five minutes. Both men still managed to get a little offense in before Steamboat was able to scale the ropes and hit his patented flying cross body finishing move to seal the pin fall victory for the Dragon.
March 31, 1985
In a match that will forever be infamous, King Kong Bundy, who was accompanied by Jimmy Hart, squashed SD Jones in the second match of Wrestlemania 1. The match lasted less than a minute, but WWE announced that it was nine seconds, which is a record.
March 31, 1985
In the opening match at Wrestlemania 1, Tito Santana defeated Buddy Rose, who was working underneath a mask as the Executioner, after applying the Figure Four leg lock. The match itself lasted less than five minutes, but it will forever be historic because it was the first match of the night.
March 31, 1985
With his recent DUI arrest and a fractured neck suffered during practice, it appears that Tito Ortiz could be done with Bellator. If that is the case, then it looks like the former UFC champion could be done with TNA as well, as Dixie Carter and her promotion would no longer be contractually obligated to utilize him.
January 23, 2014
Tito Ortiz, who tried to restart his MMA career with Bellator and has made appearances for TNA on Impact Wrestling, was arrested this morning in Los Angeles after crashing his vehicle on the freeway. Police are investigating a possible DUI offense.
January 6, 2014
With him being unable to do MMA fights because of injuries, the belief is that TNA is not interested in using Tito Ortiz for the time being.
November 8, 2013
In order to generate publicity, Bully Ray has been making noise about wanting to fight Rampage Jackson in an MMA setting.

In this case, we're tackling our wardrobes and making plans for a new year and a fresh start. That said, we're visiting our favorite Spring trends — the ones we can't wait to wear and ones that challenge our wardrobe staples. Click through to see how all of our editors are adding inspiration to their look in light of their New Year's resolutions — and just maybe get inspired to do the same. Source: Getty The Resolution: Shine On (by Day) What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "I've always been a fan of sequins, but after seeing daytime sparkle on the Spring runways, I'm definitely planning to get in on the trend in a major way. I'll start small, like with a sequined tunic over soft layers a la Rebecca Minkoff (left), and then ramp things up with a pair of shimmery cropped trousers, as seen on the runway at Theyskens' Theory. It will be my way of adding some pizzazz to everyday workwear." Source: Getty 1 / 5 The Resolution: Flower Power What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "I'm confronting my wardrobe rut head on this year by embracing bold, full-bodied florals on everything from blazers to skinny pants and pencil skirts. I'm usually not big on patterns, but the Spring runways gave way to some insanely sleek ways to wear print — with tinges of metallics, in body-con cuts, they feel utterly modern and a little less ladylike. Now, I can think of few things cooler than slipping into a pair of Cynthia Rowley's (left) slim botanical-print pants and a white t-shirt for a fresh start to the New Year." Source: Getty 2 / 5 The Resolution: Look on the Bright Side What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "At the Spring 2012 runway shows, I fell head over heels for all things yellow — which was surprising considering my obsession with all things black and gray. From pretty pale yellow ruffles at Chanel, to sweet and sunny floral prints at Erdem, and eye-catching black and yellow offerings at Proenza Schouler (left), I swore to myself that come the New Year I would incorporate this cheery hue into my look. I think J.Crew nailed lemon-colored separates for next season, and I plan on re-creating this head-to-toe yellow ensemble from the J.Crew presentation. I adore the citron color of the sweater and skirt contrasted with a darker yellow clutch and leopard flats — so chic and a great way to instantly brighten up the New Year!" Source: Getty 3 / 5 The Resolution: Go With the Flow What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "My 2012 style resolution is to go with the flow; designers like BCBG (left), Kimberly Ovitz, Nicholas K, and Rachel Comey all showed off diaphanous dresses on the runways. Personally, I love this soft modern-Grecian trend and can't wait to slip into one of these renditions come warmer weather and sunny skies." Source: Getty 4 / 5 The Resolution: Lighten Up What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "I'm the consummate casual dresser, and more often than not, I opt for a dark neutral palette. So for 2012, I'd like to lighten up in the most literal sense of the word. I love the way Louis Vuitton (left), Chanel, and Nina Ricci's Spring collections played with light hues and light fabrics. My goal is to add a variety of ladylike pieces to my everyday wardrobe. Whether it be a girlie ivory cable-knit vest, sheer organza eyelet top, or a pretty blush-colored sheath dress, it's time to try a more pastel-friendly and feminine approach to my daytime attire."

Forecasting Transaction Rates: The Autoregressive Conditional Duration Model
AbstractThis paper will propose a new statistical model for the analysis of data that does not arrive in equal time intervals such as financial transactions data, telephone calls, or sales data on commodities that are tracked electronically. In contrast to fixed interval analysis, the model treats the time between observation arrivals as a stochastic time varying process and therefore is in the spirit of the models of time deformation initially proposed by Tauchen and Pitts (1983), Clark (1973) and more recently discussed by Stock (1988), Lamoureux and Lastrapes (1992), Muller et al. (1990) and Ghysels and Jasiak (1994) but does not require auxiliary data or assumptions on the causes of time flow. Strong evidence is provided for duration clustering beyond a deterministic component for the financial transactions data analyzed. We will show that a very simple version of the model can successfully account for the significant autocorrelations in the observed durations between trades of IBM stock on the consolidated market. A simple transformation of the duration data allows us to include volume in the model.

My grandpa has Alzheimer's so he has no idea who my grandma is but everyday for the last three or four months he brings her in flowers from their garden and asks her to run away with him and be his wife and everyday she says she already is and everyday the smile my grandpa gets on his face is the most beautiful heartfelt thing I have ever seen.

Don't know - I couldn't keep up with posting everything. Wish I knew. Trying to keep up in 2013 - new years goal (not resolution)... but I am already behind and it is only DAY 11... hoping to catch up this weekend.
Love the goals and challenges. They are all spot on. Again, I jumped all over this team when she sent it out. It was EXACTLY what I was looking for, I am just struggling with keeping my stuff updated on SP...

Thanks for the input, if people are challenged and not intimidated by the goals then I think they should stay. Do you think the number of goals is about right or would you rather see some of them rolled together? By the way, did you reach your 2012 miles? I started out really strong but I just didn't make time to keep up my 60-90 minutes per day.

When DUFFYDYER first set this team up and sent me a personal invite, I joined the team specifically for the hard challenges and imposing goals. I didn't need team goals of exercising 10 minutes a day or some of the simply starter goals.
The only thing that has prevented me from participating so to speak is tracking my goals and nutrition and posting my results for the team. I do my workout and nutrition goals but I have a very busy schedule and updating my other goals, SP goals, nutrition and fitness trackers are last in a full day of activities.
I wanted the hard goals of reaching 2012 miles in a year, etc.
My two cents worth.

I took on the task of leader for this team yesterday because I don't want to see this team fade away. We currently have only a handful of team members who post but I don't know you we have on the sidelines. I would like to make this team helpful for all of you. Please post and let me know what you would like to see. I feel that the current team goals are too imposing but I want to know what team goals would be most useful for you? Also, what types of topics and what type of motivations are the most helpful?

It's time to become the new hero of the kitchen. Or at least put aside your fear of frying (not to mention sauteing, roasting, or tossing a salad). Dad's Own Cookbook shows how to do everything from handling a knife properly to juggling three dishes so that dinner comes together on schedule. Its lively charts, tips, and directions replace intimidation with pleasure and camaraderie, and its 150 great recipes will turn the most culinarily challenged dad into the family chef.
I bought this book for my widower Dad and I know I like it because I bought my first copy of the book in 1993. It is a great book for the beginner to learn the basics and beyond. I told my Dad "These are the things we should have asked Mom".

Care Quality Commission lifts Stafford Hospital concerns
The Care Quality Commission has lifted all of its concerns around Stafford Hospital today.
This comes after a number of visits to the hospital on 19th and 20th June this year.
– Lyn Hill-Tout, Chief Executive
"We have been confident for some time that we had made all the improvements which were needed. We are very pleased that the CQC team was able to come in and check for themselves, so that these improvements could be recognised officially.
"All credit goes to our staff who have worked hard to make these changes; this will be a real boost to staff morale and will encourage staff to continue to improve the care we provide for patients. We are not complacent, we know that we still don't get it right every time for every patient but this report is confirmation that we are definitely well on the way."

Investing.com - U.S. oil futures fell to a three-week low on Wednesday, as investors remained cautious ahead of the release of key U.S. weekly supply data as well as a policy statement from the Federal Reserve.
On the New York Mercantile Exchange, West Texas Intermediate crude oil for delivery in June fell to a daily low of $100.14 a barrel, the weakest level since April 7.
Nymex oil last traded at $100.18 a barrel during European morning hours, down 1.09, or $1.10 a barrel. Prices rose 0.44%, or 44 cents, on Tuesday to settle at $101.28.
Futures were likely to find support at $99.95 a barrel, the low from April 7 and resistance at $102.20 a barrel, the high from April 29.
Market players awaited the release of weekly supply data out of the U.S. later in the session to gauge the strength of oil demand from the world's largest consumer.
Wednesday's government report was expected to show that crude oil stockpiles rose by 2.4 million barrels in the week ended April 25. Oil inventories rose by 3.5 million barrels in the preceding week to hit at an all-time high of 397.7 million.
The supply data was also expected to show that distillate stockpiles, including heating oil and diesel, rose by 600,000 barrels.
After markets closed Tuesday, the American Petroleum Institute, an industry group, said that U.S. crude inventories rose by 3.0 million barrels last week, compared to expectations for an increase of 2.1 million barrels.
The API report also showed that distillate stocks increased by 688,000 barrels, while gasoline stockpiles declined by 49,000 barrels.
Meanwhile, market players prepared for the outcome of the Fed's policy meeting later in the day, amid expectations for another $10 billion reduction in the central bank's now $65-billion-a-month stimulus program.
Key U.S. economic data will also be in focus. The U.S. is to release preliminary data on first quarter GDP, as well as the ADP report on private sector job creation. The U.S. is also to release data on manufacturing activity in the Chicago region.
Elsewhere, on the ICE Futures Exchange in London, Brent oil for June delivery fell 0.58%, or 63 cents, to trade at $108.35 a barrel, while the spread between the Brent and U.S. crude contracts stood at $8.17 a barrel.
Markets largely shrugged off events in Ukraine, where pro-Russian separatists stormed regional government offices in the eastern city of Luhansk on Tuesday.

The bill would create what amounts to a tax increment finance district for UL and allow the university, through a board that comprises university brass and boosters, to levy additional taxes.
[Editor's Note: Late last week Rep. Robideaux pulled the bill. It will not be considered during the 2011 legislative session.]
A bill by state Rep. Joel Robideaux, no party-Lafayette, that would create an "improvement district" for UL Lafayette, is facing opposition from some well-placed conservatives. The bill would create what amounts to a tax increment finance district for UL and allow the university, through a board that comprises university brass and boosters, to levy additional sales, ad valorem and hotel occupancy taxes in accordance with state law. House Bill 566 is currently assigned to the House Municipal & Parochial Affairs Committee.
It's Section F of the bill — Taxing Authority — that is raising the hackles of opponents:
In order to provide funds for the purposes of the district, subject to limitations and prohibitions of the Constitution of Louisiana, the district shall have the power to levy ad valorem taxes, sales taxes, and hotel occupancy taxes within the district up to five mills of ad valorem taxes, up to two percent of sales taxes, and up to two percent of hotel occupancy taxes, or any combination of such taxes above which may aggregate the full amount so authorized of each and in addition to any other ad valorem taxes, sales taxes, or hotel occupancy taxes, or combination of such taxes, then in existence or permitted to be in existence within the district. All taxes so authorized shall be imposed by ordinance adopted by the district, acting by and through its board of directors subject to approval of a majority of the qualified electors residing within the boundaries of the district voting on the proposition at an election called for such purpose. However, if there are no qualified electors residing within the boundaries of the district, no election, proceeding, notice, or approval shall be required for the levy of such taxes.
In an email to Robideaux — members of the media including The Independent along with some Tea Party of Lafayette members were copied on the epistle — Carol Ross, a frequent guest on Moon Griffon's radio show and wife of tea party sympathizer and Acadiana Gazette publisher Ron Gomez, lays out her concerns:
Rep. Robideaux: I am asking that you withdraw the above captioned legislation from consideration and further requesting that your fellow legislators speak, work and vote against it, for the following reasons:
• It establishes an autonomous taxing district, governed by an un-elected board of directors to pursue "cooperative economic development among the parish of Lafayette, the city of Lafayette, the state of Louisiana, the district, and any other entity, public or private..."
• This autonomous, un-elected board shall "have the power to levy ad valorem taxes, sales taxes, and hotel occupancy taxes within the district up to five mills of ad valorem taxes, up to two percent of sales taxes, and up to two percent of hotel occupancy taxes, or any combination of such taxes above which may aggregate the full amount so authorized of each and in addition to any other ad valorem taxes, sales taxes, or hotel occupancy." And "In addition to the other authority provided to the district, the district shall have all the authority provided to an economic development district" -- to establish a Tax Increment Financing -TIF- district. Further, the board has the power to "dispose of or lease its property or assets by public bid or private negotiation."
• This autonomous un-elected board shall have the power to establish the boundaries of the district and if there are no qualified electors in the district, there does not have to be a vote of the people to set up this district and/or levy taxes. Further, to my knowledge, the boundaries of the district have not been set forth and according to HB 566, may be expanded by a simple majority vote of the un-elected board.
• Furthermore, this district is set up as a local governmental subdivision, in perpetuity.
• The governing board shall consist of the following:
(a) The president of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette or his designee.
(b) The administrative and finance vice-president of the UL Lafayette or his designee.
(c) One member appointed by the Board of Directors of the UL Lafayette Foundation.
(d) One member appointed by the Board of Directors of Ragin' Cajun Facilities, Inc. (??????)
(e) Three members appointed by the president of the University of Louisiana Lafayette.
• Worst of all, and in my mind possibly illegal and/or unconstitutional (which has never stopped the Leg in the past, unfortunately), the make up of the board presents a clear conflict of interest. The very people who will be levying the taxes are the very ones who will benefit. Furthermore, since the University is a subdivision of the state, the president and vice president of finance are employees of the state. So, in effect, any department head or group of employees in any other department of state government should have the power to do the same? See where this is headed? And if this passes, every other university in the state will do the same, without any input or vote of the people.
I just hit the highlights, there's a lot more to dislike in this ill-conceived legislation. And yes, we're strong supporters of the university, but this is the wrong way to do it and it's going to cause a backlash against the university, and I know we don't want that.
So, please, Rep. Robideaux, withdraw this legislation and save us all from a damaging and pointless battle.

With Drew Brees back healthy, the New Orleans Saints are free to work on the little things that can make the difference between a Super Bowl run and something less.
AUG 29 Everyone who cares about Louisiana should take time to peruse this story about coastal loss from Bob Marshall of The Lens. It's not enough to call it a story; it's an interactive experience packed with data and amazing graphics, timelines, history, photos and excellent writing. Set aside some time, because you can't go through this one in a few minutes.
JUN 29 This bizarre story from the Advocate on the shooting of a Baton Rouge television personality reads like the script of a soap opera - but not a good one. The allegations against him include sexual abuse of children, including the alleged shooter, and a sham immigration marriage involving his own daughter. The other side? He was a chaplin for the Sheriff's Office in Baton Rouge and preached in a local church.
AUG 29 Here's a story from CBS News about a killer amoeba found in the water system of St. John the Baptist Parish. The story made all three networks (CBS, ABC, NBC) as well as Fox "News," although they have not yet found out how it is Obama's fault. Seriously, the good news is that so far officials know of no one sickened by the water.
AUG 29 Huffington Post has a blog called Love Letters, which is grandly described as "an anthology of reflections on places the world over." This entry is from LSU Football Coach Les Miles, who, it appears, loves Baton Rouge. (Of course he does; he's a rich straight white man.) And certainly Baton Rouge loves him - unless he loses (ask Curley "Golden Flake" Hallman about that) or leaves (ask Nick Saban).
AUG 29 Blogger Bob Mann comments here upon Governor Bobby Jindal's federal lawsuit about Common Core. Mann calls it a "thinly veiled campaign document" and that might be the nicest thing he says in this post. Most troubling for Jindal and his aspirations, Mann has unearthed what Bobby said just a few years ago when he first decided to shove Common Core down our throats.
AUG 29 Blogger Tom Aswell has several developments here related to the so-called Edmonson amendment. The most entertaining one is possibly Tom's acknowledgement that a State Police official is (allegedly) calling the bloggers covering the story some colorful names. Listen up, cowboy: You really think two veterans like Tom Aswell and CB Forgotston care if you call them idiots?
AUG 29 Gotta love those journalists who write something with the enthusiasm that implies they're the first one to figure something out. Mostly, they're not. This is one of those times; the post on Slate Magazine says that Bobby Jindal's Common Core lawsuit is a political stunt. Well - Duh.
AUG 29 This story by WVLA tells us about a guy who got busted for speeding in Baton Rouge. Who cares? This guy took that infraction to new heights by going 129 miles per hour on Nicholson Drive. Poor fella - he probably has spent so much time sitting in Baton Rouge traffic he just had to cut lose.
AUG 28 As the controversy surrounding the Office of Group Benefits intensifies, blogger Tom Aswell gives us some background on the current problems. The OGB, which handles health insurance for current and retired state employees, is deep in the red since it was privatized by Jindal, and Aswell gives us the skinny: this great plan was designed by ALEC. The company handling it? Blue Cross Blue Shield of Louisiana - a longtime member of ALEC.
AUG 28 Blogger CB Forgotston has a concept for a new reality show: the wives of the "Dork Dynasty." That's the name that some troopers have given to State Police Commander Mike Edmonson and his inner circle. The ladies CB has picked for his cast are not just housewives, however, and the connections here are pretty interesting.
AUG 28 Blogger Ian McGibboney is writing about the strife in Ferguson in this post, and articulating what many people down south are saying. There's a fairy tale about how there's tons of racism in the South, but it's all hunky dory up North. (Really? Look again.)

O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

"All laws which are repugnant to the Constitution are null and void."

Even More Food For Thought
"Men by their constitutions are naturally divided into two parties: 1. Those who fear and distrust the people, and wish to draw all powers from them into the hands of the higher classes. 2. Those who identify themselves with the people, have confidence in them, cherish and consider them as the most honest and safe, although not the most wise depositary of the public interests."

A bike rider slammed into a semitrailer on Highway 224 in the Milwaukie area Saturday morning.
The bicyclist suffered serious injuries and was taken to a nearby hospital.
State police said 71-year-old Lawrence Mascotte was heading westbound on the paved shoulder of the highway near Southeast Johnson Road.
His bike had a mechanical failure, and he lost control, then collided with the trailer.
Mascotte and his bike came to rest under the trailer.
The semitruck driver, Craig Johnson of Vancouver, was unaware of the collision.
A witness saw the crash and pulled his car in front of the truck to keep it from moving.
Mascotte is being treated at Oregon Health & Science University. He was wearing a bike helmet at the time of the wreck.

Most of today's hardware manufacturers are building servers with at least one SATA Port, but not every systems engineer utilizes them. This is considered a loss in the game of maximizing potential storage space in a fixed unit. The SATADOM Series was created by Innodisk as a high-performance, small form factor boot drive with low power consumption to be plugged into the unused SATA port on your server board as an alternative to hard drive or USB boot-up. Built for 1U systems, this powerful device is smaller than a one dollar coin, and frees up otherwise dead space on your motherboard. To meet the requirements of tomorrow's cloud hardware, Innodisk invested internal R&D resources to develop our SATA III series of products. The SATA III SATADOM boasts 500/180MBs R/W Speeds respectively, or double R/W Speed of SATA II products.

Men's fashion has evolved a lot since the days of '90s Hip-Hop, the Punk movement, and Britpop. What if Biggie, ODB, Sid Vicious, and some of musical icons from the past were still alive to purchase the brands flourishing today? To entertaint that notion, Goodhood tapped illustrator Clara Lacy to draw up a couple looks showing off these artists wearing this seasons collections.
Super sunglasses and a Paul Smith Bamboo print shirt replace Biggie's iconic Versace shades and Coogi look. Dirt McGirt aka Big Baby Jesus aka OBD stunts with his Junya Watanabe jeans hung v low. And Sid Vicious wears a very fitting outfit from FUCT SSDD. Also illustrated are Joe Strummer and Layne Staley in A.Four and Neighborhood. So, thanks to Goohood, we can now state with confidence that these rappers and rockers would have transitioned quite well with today's new wave of brands. Visit the Goodhood website to cop these outfits for yourself.
