CM Punk

IC Champion:

Unified Diva's Champion:
WWE World Tag Team Champions:
Daniel Bryan and Kane
Welcome to 411Mania's coverage of MONDAY...NIGHT...RAWWWWW! "Your Kennection to Wrestling" Ken Hill here, bringing you constant updates of tonight's Raw, coming off the heels of an eventful and controversial Night Of Champions!
Even after the unlikely duo snatched the tag team titles last night, Kane and Daniel Bryan, a.k.a. "Team Friendship", are still at one another, this time over who the "true" tag team champion is. Will they be able to concentrate on future opponents, or will Dr. Shelby have to make yet another intervention?
Controversy reigned supreme in last night's WWE Title match, where John Cena and CM Punk could not for the life of them find a way to pin or submit one another, until a surprise top-rope German suplex from Cena pinned Punk for the three count...only to have it changed to a draw and Punk retaining once it was shown Cena's shoulders were also on the mat for 1-2-3! Will this dissuade Cena from his WWE Title quest, or will it further incite the Cenation leader against his rival?
- LIVE from Bridgeport, CT...Michael Cole and JBL at the Broadcast Booth.
- We kick off with the CM Punk's music...and PAUL HEYMAN comes out instead. Interesting. Heyman introduces himself, and believes he was a part of hsitory last night, seeing Punk successfully defend his title against John Cena. The crowds boos and Heyman actually agrees the ending to the match was controversial, and asks the referee, Chad Patton, to come out. Heyman shows a still photo of the ending, where BOTH men's shoulders were clearly down for the three count, and Patton agrees. Heyman brings up a fan recording to further certify Patton's judgment. Heyman starts to tell the audience that Punk walked in and out as champion and deserves respect, before Cena's music hits!
- Cena pretty much tells Paul to shut up, but agrees that Patton made the right choice. He talks about how epic the match between him and Punk, how banged up he is, and was more upset about the finality of the ref's decision. He felt the match, as well as the feud, should end with a victory one way or the other. He asks Heyman about this, but Heyman believes Punk earned respect with the draw. Cena draws the line there, saying the real definition of respect is holding your head high after a definite decision,a nd feels they should see who the winner is tonight. Heyman tells Cena what he knows Punk will say before he arrives tonight, but before any of that, Del Rio's music hits!
Alberto feels he, not Cena, deserves a rematch due to being told last-minute about Sheamus' kick being un-banned. Now AJ comes out, and basically makes a tag team main event of Sheamus and Cena versus Del Rio and Punk, with the winner of the match going a long way in determining who gets a rematch for what title. She skips off as Heyman desperately tries to talk to her.
- Backstage, Sin Cara and Mysterio are WALKING to the ring for tag team action...next!
- A tout from Jerry Lawler thanking the WWE Universe for all their well-wishes, and Cole introduces JBL, as well as JR(!), for commentary. Rey and Sin Cara make their entrances with Epico, Primo, and Rosa already in the ring.
Rey Mysterio & Sin Cara v. Epico & Primo Colon
Primo and Cara start off, Cara snapping off a heel kick before arm dragging Primo and tagging in Rey, who splashes Primo, then tags in Cara. The two luchadores nail a double team kick, which gets a two count as we go to commercial break...
Back from the break with Epico with a headlock on Cara and tagging in Primo, however, Cara counters immediately with a tornado DDT before making the hot tag to Mysterio, who comes in agaisnt Primo and nails a cross body on Primo for a two count. He sets Primo up for a 619, and then him and Cara double team Epico right alongside his cousin for a double 619! Rey takes out Primo on the outside, while Sin Cara nails a senton on Epico for the three count!
Winners: Sin Cara & Rey Mysterio
Following the match, the Prime Time Players show up and assault Mysterio and Cara, laying them out, and announcing while they may have had their legitimate title shot taken from them, they'll be the ones doing the taking from now on. That's the first strong promo I've heard from Titus and Young, and I like the change in attitude.
- We find out the tag team main event is official, as well as a Tag Team Championship rematch from NOC. Wonder if Teddy Long's advising AJ too...
- We find out that Miz will be hosting his first ever episode of "MizTV" with Booker T as the guest host. Beth Phoenix is in the ring, waiting as Eve comes to the ring.
Non-title Match: Eve Torres (c) v. Beth Phoenix
Honestly, I missed the majority of the action as I was more engrossed in Layla and JBL's conversation over Eve suspiciously ending up in and winning last night's championship. What I can tell you is that it ended as soon as it started, with Eve countering Beth's powerslam attempt, shoving her into the turnbuckle and rolling her up with a slight assist from the tights for 3!
Winner: Eve Torres
- Eve shows off her newly won title to Layla as we're reminded about the tag team main event and go to commercial...
- Subway advert shows us Brodus and Tyson's involvement with Cesaro on last Friday's Smackdown.
- Back on Raw, we have Brodus and the Funkadactyls coming down. Cesaro on commentary as Slater waits to be sqaushed...
Brodus Clay v. Heath Slater
Brodus shrugs off Slater's early offense, knocking him down several times before propping him in the corner for a splash. Cesaro briefly gets involved, allowing Slater to hit a modified neckbreaker for a two count. Slater goes up top, but gets drilled with a headbutt and a SPLAT! splash for a three count
Winner: Brodus Clay
- Brodus does his usual post-match dance with the kids as we see Miz preparing for his new show segment. Will it stand out or will Y2J have another reason to comeback? We'll see, as we go to commercial...
- Miz comes out for his inaugural "MizTV" segment, telling us that when your a champion who defies odds like he has and has everything, what do you give him next? His own own talk show. He even lampshades it by mentioning past talk show segments and saying they were missing the element of "awesome", something he doesn't. He then brings out Booker T, who gets a nice pop. Miz talks to Booker, wondering if this is better than any of his championship reigns and going to Wrestlemania. He then questions Booker as to the decisions he has made in recent weeks, wondering if Booker has realized his time has past and is making it difficult for the younger superstars. Booker snatches the mike from Miz, and tells him for his talking, it was interesting, but he wants to introduce Miz to someone else who can beat multiple opponents...FEED! ME! MORE! Ryback marches down to the ring, and Miz clears it, so Ryback clears the MizTV set! Well, everyone wanted WWE to move Ryback on to something more, how's that for you?
- We go to ringside with Cole, JR, and JBL, as Cole reminds us about Jerry and his Tout to WWE fans, and JBL and JR assure they're just keeping King's seat warm.
- Backstage with CM Punk and Paul Heyman conversing. Josh Matthews questions Punk about his upcoming tag match. Punk states he's not happy about teaming with Del Rio or competing in it period. He questions what it really takes to get respect around here as he storms off.
- Santino struts down to the ring, the Vickie introduces "Mr. Money in the Bank" Dolph Ziggler!
Santino Marella v. Dolph Ziggler
Santino starts off with a nice judo throw on Ziggler, who snaps a dropkick right back in Santino's face. Whip into the ropes, but Santino power walks off them distracting Ziggler long enough to be jackknifed for a two count. Another knockdown, followed by a series of elbows for a two count. Ziggler takes the Cobra sock out of Santino's tights and gags him with it, calling him a joke. Santino tries to mount a comeback, but Ziggler lays in a right hand for a two count. Cocky cover gets a two count. Santino makes a more full-fledged comeback, but when he goes for the Cobra, Vicki takes it away as Ziggler hits a Zig Zag, then pulls up Santino up for another statement-making Zig Zag for the three count.
Winner: Dolph Ziggler
- We get another advert for the Tag Team Championship rematch later tonight as we go to commercial...
- The WWE Rewind features Wade Barrett's decree that one "lucky" superstar gets to sample his product in the near future.
Wade Barrett v. Justin Gabriel
This should be an interesting match between former Nexus and Corre members. Couple of quick roll-ups from Gabriel to start before a sharp right hand from Barrett, who tosses Gabriel to the outside. He then rolls Justin back in, bow-and-arrow stretching Gabriel around the ring post. Whip into the corner followed by a stalling backbreaker gets 2 for Barrett. Body shots to the ribs by Barrett, then a stiff clothesline for two. A "We Want Nexus!" chant! Interesting...
Gabriel fights out of an abdominal stretch, Barrett attempts a slam, but Gabriel reverses into an inverted DDT, followed by a springboard moonsault for a close two count. Gabriel tries for another kick, but Barrett flapjacks him, then whips him into a STIFF left hand that downs Gabriel for the three.
Winner: Wade Barrett
- We're backstage with Truth celebrating a birthday. Kofi says it's not his birthday, but Truth says it for Subway, then we pan to Jared, who gives the two (and Little Jimmy) some Turkey subs before their match. Damien Sandow comes in with his own ideas for a sub, but Jared gives him a Meatball Marinara, which Sandow actually says "You're Welcome" (to a few laughs from the audience). Zack Ryder comes in, and Jared gives him an Italian BLT. Then we top off the segment with Ryback, who simply asks Jared to FEED...HIM...MORE! Jared's nervous, but hands him a sub and Ryback is apparently pleased.
- We see Daniel Bryan and Kane backstage proclaiming they are, each, the "tag team champions"
- We see video of Lawler arriving in his hometown of Memphis, as the two teams make their entrances for the tag title rematch from NOC!
WWE Tag Team Championship: Kane & Daniel Bryan (c) v. Kofi Kingston & R-Truth
Bryan and Kane argue, like last night, over who should start, and Bryan wins out, starting against Kofi. Headlock on Kofi, Kofi pushes Bryan off, leapfrogs him, and dropkicks him. Truth is tagged, who wrenches the arm, kicks Bryan a few times, then tags Kofi in, who nails a cross body for two. Bryan tags in Kane, who tosses Kofi into the corner for some right hands and stomps, followed by a headbutt. Whip in the corner reversed by Kofi, who nails a few kicks. Whip reversed by Kane, but Kofi holds the rope and low bridges him over the top rope, then back body drops Bryan onto Kane. The champs argue with one another as we go to a commercial break...
Back from commercial, with Kane trapping Truth in a bearhug, as we see that Kane hit a big boot on Truth during the commercial. Kane attempts a charge, but Truth counters and makes the tag to Kofi, who comes off the ropes with a Superman punch, gets whipped to the corner, then hits a slingshot kick, followed by another kick, but Kane sits up before the Boom Drop. Kofi tries for a springboard, only to get uppercutted by Kane HARD. Bryan tags in to Kane's dismay, and their argument gives Kofi enough time to tag in Truth, who comes and nails a spinning forearm on Bryan for a two count. Kofi tagged back in, Truth scoops him on top of Bryan for a two count. A basement drop kick gets another two count. Kofi tags in Truth and another double team gets a two count. Truth with a headlock, whips Bryan into the corner, but get kicked in the knee, and Bryan tags Kane in, who flies off with a clothesline for a two count. Whip to the corner, clothesline, and side slam gets another two count. Bryan almost blind tags in again, hugs Kane, but distracts him for the What's Up, and Truth gets a two count before Bryan breaks it up. Kofi comes in, but Bryan low bridges him, and Kane chokeslams Truth for the three count to retain!
Winners: Daniel Bryan & Kane
The champs continue to argue who's the real "tag team champion" as the crowd chants for them to "hug it out!", which they actually do...and they go right back to arguing...oy vey.
- A "Be A Star" advert featuring Big Show, David Otunga, and Stephanie McMahon, followed by some of the kids being featured at the Raw show who are a part of the program. Nice touch.
- Randy Orton is WALKING backstage as he's in action in a rematch with the man he calls the "350 lb. tuna", Tensai!
Randy Orton v. Tensai
Why do I sense a punt coming in Tensai's future? Lock-up, Tensai pushes Orton into the corner, but Randy coutners with body punches, but Tensai fires back with a shoulder block, then rams Orton into the turnbuckle before delivering some body shots of his own, followed by a shot to the kidney and pressing him into the ropes. Another kidney shot gets countered into a forearm by Orton, but Tensai turns it around into a powerslam for 2. Tensai drills Orton with more punches and another two count. Bearhug by Tensai, Orton slowly but surely fights his way out, but Tensai drops him with a headbutt, then knees to the kidney. Tensai locks in a shoulder nerve hold, which Orton slowly counters out of. Tensai hits some more shots, comes off the ropes...into a powerslam from Orton! He brings Tensai to the ropes, hits some vicious kicks to the head, then the DDT. Orton looks for the RKO, Tensai shrugs him off to the corner, misses a charge, and Orton nails the RKO this time for the three count!
Winner: Randy Orton
- Backstage with Punk and Heyman again, as Otunga and Del Rio approaches them about the tag match and questioning who should lead. Heyman feels Punk should lead as WWE Champion, Otunga states it's irrelevant and questions his manner of dress and living. Heyman reminds Otunga about Punk beating him for the WWE Championship last November. The two partners agree that it will be an "honor" to team with one another.
- Damien Sandow comes out, proclaiming the "Season of Sloth" (Summer) to be over, says "Slobberknocker is not a word, and proceeds to give us a little vocab lesson with words such as "ignoramus" and "temerity." Zack Ryder comes out, who gives Sandow a little word lesson of his own: "Shut", "Up", and "Now", as AJ's made a match between the two of them next!
Damien Sandow v. Zack Ryder
We come back mid-match with Sandow having Ryder in a headlock. Zack counters out, clothesline Sandow over the rope, then nails a Plancha, rolling Sandow back in for a two count. Sandow knocks down Ryder, delivering some kicks and elbows, then rubs Ryder's face in the mat and covers for two. Sandow then hits another elbow for another two count. Ryder tries to counter out of a chinlock, only to get headbutted and hit with Sandow's elbow for a two count. Whip to the corner, Ryder counters into a roll up for a two count, then a small package for another two. He fires up with clotheslines, a discus clothesline, then a forearm. Broski boot is coming, but Sandow ducks out, only for Ryder to come off the ring apron. Sandow tries to attack Ryder coming back in, but Ryder counters and nails the Broski Boot for a close two count. Rough Ryder attempt, but Sandow counters into his trademark arm-trap neckbreaker for the three!
Winner: Damien Sandow
- Video of Jerry Lawler's reunion with his doctor friend, and we're reminded about his exclusive interview on Raw next week.
- The tag team "SUPAH" main event is coming up next!
World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus & John Cena v. WWE Champion CM Punk & Alberto Del Rio
Punk with his defiant stance with the WWE Championship held high, like last night. He barely moves, and refuses to move as Cena and Sheamus prepare, then we go to commercial...
We're back as the bell rings with Punk and Cena starting out...or not, as Punk tags out to Del Rio. Del Rio headlocks Cena, Cena rolls out, Del Rio whips to the corner for some kicks, Cena counters another whip, hits a monkey flip and a elbow for a two count. Tag to Sheamus, who beats down on Del Rio in the corner. Whip to the corner, boots by Del Rio, but Sheamus counters into a powerslam for a two count. Del Rio kicks Cena, tags in Punk, who charges Cena, but Cena counters with a bulldog and tries for the AA, but Punk rakes the eyes and kicks his ankle before retreating. Punk tags in Del Rio, who attacks the ankle more, then tag Punk back in. Cena tries to fight out, bu Punk drop toe holds him. Cena evades him, however, and tags in the World Champ to face the WWE Champ. Sheamus in with clotheslines and boots, but a corner charge makes him eat an elbow and a kick from Punk, who tags in Del Rio to continue the beatdown. However, Sheamus fights out nails 10 shots to the chest, then White Noise. Sheamus tries for the Brogue Kick, but Punk distracts him, allowing Del Rio to hit a Backstabber for a close two count. Punk tagged in, who delivers chops and a kick to Sheamus' knee, then locks in a bow-and-arrow submission on Sheamus. Sheamus fights out into a cover for a two count. Punk grapevines the leg and tags Del Rio back in, who locks in a reverse chinlock on Sheamus. Sheamus off the ropes into a knee from Del Rio, who then stomps him for a two count. Whip of the ropes reversed by Sheamus, kick by Del Rio, but Sheamus hits the Irish Curse. Both manage to make the hot tag to Punk and Cena. Cena tries to hit his big moves, Punk tries to counter the Five-Knuckle Shuffle, but Cena counters into a STF. Del Rio breaks it up, but gets a Brogue Kick for his troubles. Cena hits an AA, Punk's foot is on the ropes, but the ref misses it and counts the three!
Winners: Sheamus & John Cena
Punk and Heyman are LIVID with the ref, complaining all the way back as the show ends...
Night everybody!

Ban for Peter Rigby, 73, who read map whilst driving on the A59
Updated 9:07am Friday 30th May 2014 in News
A DRIVER has been fined more than £1,000 and banned from driving for a year after he was caught reading a map at the wheel.
Peter John Rigby, 73, of Beamsley in Skipton, North Yorkshire, was captured by police cameras flicking through an atlas for at least 10 seconds while driving his Honda Jazz on March 4.
The car caught the attention of a camera operator when it began to wander across the white line of the overtaking lane.
Footage released by North Yorkshire Police today showed Rigby looking at the map while driving on the A59 at Beamsley Hill.
Police said the period when his view of the road was "completely obscured" could have been "disastrous for him or other road users".
Rigby pleaded guilty to dangerous driving at Skipton Magistrates' Court last Friday.
He was fined £1,080 and ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £108 and costs of £85.
As well as being banned for 12 months, he was ordered to take an extended driving test.
Dave Brown, safety camera team manager at North Yorkshire Police, said: "Mr Rigby captured the attention of the safety camera operator when he began to wander across the dotted white line of the overtaking lane as he read the map.
"The footage captured by the safety camera shows Mr Rigby is distracted for a least 10 seconds while flicking through his atlas and then holding it up to his face, completely obscuring his view of the road.
"Those 10 seconds could have been disastrous for him or other road users. He should consider himself fortunate that he was in a position to attend court and escape with just a driving ban and hefty fine."
"This case demonstrates the clear evidence captured by the safety camera and should serve as a reminder to other road users of the potential consequences if they choose to take unnecessary and dangerous risks."

CLE ELUM, Wash. - Ellensburg Police say an arrest in Cle Elum has lead to the recovery of stolen property.
Cle Elum Police arrested 22-year-old Melissa Beaumont of Cle Elum for Vehicle Prowling on Thursday.
Officers say witnesses said they saw Beaumont getting in, or trying to get into several cars on the 1000 block of East First.
Police found her in a nearby motel, where she gave herself up without incident. Officers booked her into the Kittitas County Jail on charges of second degree vehicle prowl for unlawfully entering a vehicle, second degree theft, and second degree possession of stolen property for stealing and possessing a stolen credit card.
Ellensburg Police, who were investigating a number of car prowls, say they matched Beaumont's booking photo to a picture from a local bank, which showed a woman trying to get cash from an ATM using a stolen debit card.
Police detectives obtained and served a search warrant on the motel room in Cle Elum where officers arrested Beaumont. Detectives say they were then able to recover items stolen from three Vehicle Prowls in Ellensburg and one in Cle Elum, as well as a small amount of Heroin.
Beaumont now faces additional charges including Possession of Heroin and Drug Paraphernalia.
Police say there was also a man in the motel room, but they didn't arrest him. Officers say they have requested the Kittitas County Prosecutor's Office files similar charges.
right around 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

Support for taking away the military ranks22. 9. 2010. The Youth Initiative for Human Rights in Croatia sent a letter to president Josipović on September 22 2010 in which it expressed its full support to the president for stripping persons convicted of war crimes, murders and abuse of power and authority of their military ranks. In the letter, YIHR wrote the following:
The Youth Initiative for Human Rights expresses its satisfaction with your decision to take away the military ranks from persons convicted of war crimes against civilians, abuse of power and authority and the criminal offense of murder, Mr Branimir Glavas, Mr Mirko Norac Kevi, Mr Vladimir Zagorec, Mr Tihomir Oreskovic and Mr Sinisa Rimac.
Your act is not only important to preserve the reputation of the Republic of Croatia and its armed forces, but even more so because it represents a clear view that crimes can not earn respect, but the determined condemnation. This is the right way to fight the denial, justification, and reduction of crimes. Furthermore, this has great significance in the recognition of the suffering of victims, but also it sends the message that criminals should not be role models, which is especially important for young people in this society.
In promoting these messages, the Youth Initiative for Human Rights supports you sincerely.

As the author of a French cookbook who believes it's fine to take culinary shortcuts—as long as the results are true to France—I'm always on the lookout for great French-food convenience products and readymades. Here's what I've found at Trader Joe's:
• Maître Pierre Tarte d'Alsace ($4.49): This is a version of Alsace's "tarte flambée"–a traditional pizza-like dish that tops a cracker-like crust with crème fraîche, onions, and lardons (thick French bacon strips).
The Verdict: Take! Ah, the crisp-thin crust! The smoky bacon! The sweet onions! The creamy lusciousness of it all! I found it amazing that a frozen product could truly approximate this time-honored dish so well. Or, put it this way: If a true tarte flambée in Strasbourg rates a "10," and your own homemade-in-American version might score a "9," this is easily an 8.5. And that's pretty darn good for something this convenient and inexpensive.
• Trader Jacques Fleur de Sel Caramel Sauce ($3.49): Let's start by saying that if I had to forego either chocolate or caramel for a year, I'd say give up the chocolate first. I'm a caramel freak. And I love making my own caramel sauce, so any purchased product had better be pretty amazing.
The Verdict: Take! If my homemade caramel sauce is a 10, this is about a 9.7—and again, that's high marks for something so convenient. Remember, a great caramel sauce is more than caramelized sugar—it has to have butter or cream, and this one has both. So it's velvety, luscious, and deeply flavored, with just a little bit of salt to pique the tongue.
• Trader Joe's Boeuf Bourguignon: The classic stew of beef simmered in wine with pearl onions and mushrooms.
The Verdict: Toss. Sure, it's as easy as Boeuf Bourguignon gets, but I found the sauce to be a bit watery and the beef wasn't nearly as luscious as it should have been. If a homemade version is a "10″ then alas, the Trader Joe's version is about a "5."
• Trader Joe's Frozen French Green Beans ($1.99): These are those chic, slender haricot verts that go so well with …. well, just about everything, but specifically, roast chicken and steak-frites.
The Verdict: Take! Sure, if you can find fresh French green beans picked that very day at your farmers market, those will be better. But these are mighty good, and they're loose-packed in a way that makes it easy to pull out a handful here and there. Just be sure to cook them the French way (that is, boil or steam them until just tender, and then saute them in….wait for it….butter).
• Trader Joe's Original Savory Thins ($1.69): These shiny, crunchy crackers are made from rice meal, sesame seeds and flour, safflower oil, and a few spices.
The Verdict: Take! No, they're not exactly French, but I use them all the time to make French-inspired canapes. Top them with a little hummus and tapenade for a go-to appetizer with wine. Or, top them with a semisoft cheese (Brie, Camembert, Taleggio, etc.) and a few herbs and run them under the broiler until just oozy.
I'd love to hear about other must-haves (or misses) from Trader Joe's—whether or not they're French.

CANTON, Miss. (AP) - A judge has refused to terminate Dr. Samuel Shaw's probation period for the 2002 aggravated-DUI manslaughter of a 27-year-old Wayne County man.
The Clarion-Ledger reports Shaw petitioned Madison County Circuit Court to end his probation early so he can seek to get his medical licenses reinstated. But Judge William Chapman denied the request.
On April 2, 2007, the 64-year-old Shaw entered a guilty plea in the Dec. 14, 2002, death of Joey Culotta, of Waynesboro. He received a 10-year sentence with eight years suspended, and five years of supervised probation. Shaw began serving his 5-year probationary in Feb. 2008.
District Attorney Michael Guest opposed Shaw's request. Guest said Shaw knew the terms and conditions at the time of his sentencing.

People living with cystic fibrosis face a lifelong challenge of paying for medications, nutrition supplements, respiratory equipment, physician services, and various other medical expenses. Even with health insurance to cover some of the costs, the expenses of treatment can be devastating to any family's budget. If you find the cost of treatment is giving your wallet a squeeze, there are places you can turn to for help.
Health Insurance
Health insurance coverage is an absolute must-have for people with cystic fibrosis. If you are having problems getting insurance elsewhere, government programs are available that may be able to help if you meet eligibility requirements.
Medication and Nutrition Supplement Assistance
Health insurance does not always cover the medications that people with cystic fibrosis need. Find out about assistance programs that can help fill the gap when your health insurance coverage falls short.

Discussing your mental health issue – to share or not to share
Discussing your mental health issue – to share or not to share
May 1, 2014
Your decision to share information is just that—your own. You have a right to be selective about who you tell and how much you divulge.
May 5 to 11, 2014, is Mental Health Week in Canada
When you're diagnosed with a mental health disorder, sharing the news with family, friends and co-workers can be a daunting task. The stigma and mystery attached to mental illnesses, concerns about relationships changing and unfair judgment can create fear and communication barriers. But solid emotional and physical support can have a positive impact on your recovery journey and can do wonders for your spirit and well-being.
Should I share?

Spring into volunteer work on Earth Day
Spring into volunteer work on Earth Day
The waxwings have arrived at the feeder, the snow is melting and the birds are back to singing their sweet songs. It's safe to say spring has sprung, just in time for Earth Day. On April 22, people around the world will give their thanks for nature and its endless gifts.
"Our conservation work not only celebrates for the natural world, but it protects it for future generations."
To celebrate, the Nature Conservancy of Canada will announce its Conservation Volunteers events for the year on this special day.
This spring, experience nature's symphony
This spring, experience nature's symphony
Did you hear that? Cheerily, cheer up, cheer up, cheerily, cheer up.
The first call of the quintessential spring bird heralds in the new season, the first of many birds to return from their southern migrations.
It's the sound of a robin returning home after a long winter.
The first call of the quintessential spring bird heralds in the new season, the first of many birds to return from their southern migrations.
Across Canada, birds are arriving in their northern habitats, many of which include the Nature Conservancy of Canada's protected lands.
Conservancy's volunteer program a breath of fresh air
Conservancy's volunteer program a breath of fresh air
A recent Ipsos Reid poll shows that 97 per cent of Canadians agree that nature is important to their family's well-being, and 87 per cent said they would prefer to spend family time outdoors in nature, as opposed to indoors.
Imagine walking along a tree-lined trail, through the fresh spring air and twigs snapping under your feet – maybe you're on an afternoon stroll with your children or out searching for songbirds. Or, perhaps you're lending a hand in important conservation work, whilst soaking up the sun and exploring nature's wonders! This is the kind of opportunity that awaits you when you sign up for outdoor volunteer events.
World Water Day: care continues to flow for our world's water resources
World Water Day: care continues to flow for our world's water resources
More than 20 years ago, the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) declared March 22 World Water Day, "as a means of focusing attention on the importance of freshwater and advocating for the sustainable management of freshwater resources."
With an estimated two million lakes in Canada, covering about eight percent of our country there's great need and responsibility to protect our freshwater.
Water is indisputably one of our planet's most precious resources. And with March 22 around the corner, it's important to recognize what we're doing in Canada to protect this vital resource.

Building resilient communities
By Ian Bird and Paul Davidson
Canada's communities are nearing a crossroads. We have more technology at our fingertips; the ability to move information, goods and people faster; and an increasingly educated population reaching further and higher than ever before.
Unfortunately, the challenges we face are moving at the same speed.
Even when we think we've seen it all, we encounter new tests of our resiliency.

Harold Thomas, 83, of Danville, passed this life Wednesday, Dec. 11, 2013, at Florida Hospital Waterman in Tavares, Fla., surrounded by his loving family.
Harold and his wife of 56 years, Betty, wintered in Florida for the past 17 years and were involved in many committees, activities, etc., during the winter, including helping put up Christmas lights and decorations for persons unable to do so. He also liked to shuffle and be with many friends in Holiday Mobile Park.
His wife survives along with their children, Danny (Connie) of Dallas, Texas, Jim (Kathy) of Danville, Lisa (Mark) Lawlyes of Danville and Lori (Scott) Morscheiser of Fisher; along with 10 grandchildren, Alicia (Brian) Nimmick, Kim Thomas, Melissa (Mike) Pietraszewski, Michelle (Randy) McMasters, Megan (Zech) Connelly, Ryan and Tyler Lawlyes and Drayton, Dawson and Drew Purvis; also, nine great-grandchildren and three great-great-grandchildren; plus, four step-grandchildren and two step-great-grandchildren; one nephew and five nieces.
He had worked at William Davies Packing House for several years and Hyster Company for 28 years before retiring in December 1992. After retirement, they enjoyed woodworking, making crafts to sell, fishing and attending the many activities of grandkids and great-grandkids throughout the years.
Harold will be greatly missed by his family and all who knew him. A private service will be held at a later date.

Felt a little ill when I went to work last Wednesday. Abdominal cramps, figured I'd picked up a virus. Went to various meetings, stayed fairly busy. Was teaching 40 minute small groups from 1-5 when the vomiting started. Left work at 3 (thanks to an understanding department chair who took over for my teaching duties) and by 9pm I was admitted to the hospital with a small bowel obstruction. That's obstruction of the small bowel, not a small bowel obstruction. No, there was nothing small about it. And while I try not to whine too much when I'm sick, I drew the line when I started puking flecks of poop. That was definitely worthy of loud whining.
Anyhoo, surgery went well and (SCORE!) they repaired my hernia with mesh. Here I thought I'd have to lose a bunch more weight to have that happen, but apparently the "temporary" hernia repair contributed to this obstruction, so I got a "permanent" repair.
Husband was able to delay his trip to Zurich, so when he left, he knew I was going to be OK. I'm sure it was horrible for him traveling with his wife in the hospital, but I forced him to go. New job and all.
Yeah, there were a couple of postop happenings that resulted in my being there for six nights, but it's all in the past. Mom brought me home yesterday afternoon and there had been a transformer issue in our neighborhood, so we gathered up the kids from their schools and had a campout at Grandma's house.
Before I end this post, I have to give a big huge shout out thank you to my colleagues. They looked at my schedule and divvied everything up so I don't have any responsibilities through the end of September. My chair said that if I am cleared to come back earlier and want to try some teaching, I can do that, and then if I only go 15 or 20 minutes, the "back up" will take over. I feel very supported.
So now I'm trying to get caught up on charting I should have done two weeks ago. Or maybe I should take a nap first. After that, I'll probably need another nap. Good day, dearies.

Just getting caught up on things here. So glad to hear your work is covered through Sept. Rest and heal well. Despite the bumps, it sounds like things are going well. (Seriously awesome about the hernia repair.)ReplyDelete
Our gratitude to your colleagues for helping you out. Rest well.ReplyDelete
Great news on the permanent mesh hernia repair! Flecks of poop = SERIOUS reflux ;-)ReplyDelete

Yuma, AZ- Esumundo Tejedas testimony continued today. He was on stand last week and has given testimony several times throughout the trial. Tejeda is the lead detective that investigated the murder of Doctor Satinder Gill.
During cross examination Detective Tejeda was asked to identify items taken in as evidence from the crime scene.
Detective Tejeda is holding a candle taken from the home of doctor Gill where he was murdered.
The candle is important because police say the burners on the stove were turned on with no flame and candles were lit throughout the home when they arrived on November 2nd of 2007.
Police suspect the gas was on and the candles were lit in effort ignite the gas and start a fire to cover up the murder. The defense used the ezel board to do some math on the burning rate of the candles.
Detective Tejeda said they did not know the state of the candles before they were lit. He said it was irrelevant. He said the average burn rate for those types of candles ranged between 30 and 35 hours.
Tejeda was also asked to identify phone records. The prosecution stepped in and wanted to know more details about the phone calls made between Preston strong and his former girl friend Adriana Ozuna on November 1st 2007 the day Doctor Gill was murdered.
Ozuna had testified that she and strong had been watching a movie on the evening hours of November 1st.
Phone records showed differently and today the witness pointed out that Strong ignored 12 calls from Ozuna during important hours on that evening.
The Preston Strong trial started in July. This is a bench Trial which means Superior Court Judge John Nelson will return the verdict. If Strong is found guilty he could spend up to life in prison.

I spoke to someone who was involved with this furniture on Ross street. There was at least one beautiful antique piece. I commented it was a shame. He told me that he didn't know for sure if they had bedbugs, but as a precaution they wrapped and labelled them to disuade ppl from taking it for their own use.
A note to all you landlords and tenants out there; bedbugs can be controlled if aggressive action is taken early. Hopefully landlords won't have to learn the hard way and be hit with a $18,0
00 tab to eradicate the bugs, as these guys did.

I live right down the street. A bunch of furniture has been thrown out outside this area, with WARNING BEDBUGS sign attached. I'm pretty sure it's all from the Cawthra Mansions Co-op, these large apartment buildings. I really hope this infestation doesn't spread.
No nearby bug reports

I want the NFL to add franchises in Los Angeles, Portland, San Antonio, Oklahoma City and Salt Lake City, 4 by expansion and the other by relocating the Jaguars from Jacksonville. I am just not sure that Florida is a 3-team market, although I do believe that Texas is, while California should definitely have more than 3 teams. Regarding international expansion, I do believe that it will happen eventually, just not yet. I can envision 6 franchises in Europe, 1 in Mexico City and maybe even a future CFL-NFL merger.
Rosters should be expanded to 60 players, with 50 active per game, plus 15-man practice squads and an off-season limit of 100. The annual college draft should be expanded from 256 to 396 total selections, including 10 rounds + 36 compensatory picks. Instead of holding expansion drafts of veteran castoffs, I prefer adding 1 expansion team per season and giving them 75 total selections, with each established team getting 2 or 3 fewer choices during those years. This way expansion teams can start from scratch and be built the right way.
Realigning into 6 divisions of 6 teams each while doing away with conferences altogether seems like a great idea to me. All divisions should be based on geography as opposed to antiquated traditional rivalries. Dallas in the East? Indianapolis in the South? Atlanta in the West from 1967-2001? Chicago/Saint Louis/Phoenix/Arizona in the East from 1950-2001? Baltimore in the West from 1953-'69? Carolina in the West from 1995-2001? Who's hair-brained ideas were those? Bert Bell, Pete Rozelle and Paul Tagliabue?
Atlantic Division: Baltimore, New England, New York Giants and Jets, Philadelphia and Washington.
East Division: Buffalo, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Detroit, Indianapolis and Pittsburgh.
South Division: Atlanta, Carolina, Miami, New Orleans, Tampa Bay and Tennessee.
North Division: Chicago, Green Bay, Kansas City, Minnesota, Oklahoma City and Saint Louis.
West Division: Arizona, Dallas, Denver, Houston, Salt Lake City and San Antonio.
Pacific Division: los Angeles, Oakland, Portland, San Diego, San Francisco and Seattle.
Each division would play one other division per season, alternated every 5 years. A 17th regular season game per team would be played at neutral sites ( Europe? ) against a random opponent. I like this idea because it almost guarantees no more 8-8 teams, unless there are ties of course. Each team would also play 1 pre-season game at a neutral site ( including the Hall of Fame Game ) in addition to 1 at home and 1 on the road. The playoffs should be contracted to 10 teams so that every division winner gets a 1st round bye. Since conferences have been eliminated, any 2 teams, even from the same division such as the Raiders and Chargers, could meet in the Super Bowl.

Select Route:
Begin from a stand start at an obvious nodule on a shelf at chest height. Surf the slopey and slightly overhung left-trending arete up and left to the apex of the short overhang where you topout. Get on this sequential and slopey gem early in the day in the warmer months, since it faces south, catches morning sun and warms up quickly.
The Zorro Arete is located just a few feet right of Zorro and The Rapier and about 15 yards right of The Ladder, all of which are on the same boulder. Find the bottom of a rising and overhanging left-trending arete with a slopey and tricky looking topout and you've got it.
A few Organic pads or maybe a spotter are helpful, since it is a rising lip traverse.

Should a local city council open each meeting with a prayer? The Freedom From Religion Foundation says no.
The group is calling for Saginaw to stop mixing religion and politics. Prayer has been a part of city council meetings for years. Folks TV5 talked to don't have a problem with that. But the group does. They're based out of Wisconsin and they have members nationwide. One of those members attended a city meeting and took issue with the prayer. Now the group wants city council members to take prayer out of their meetings.
Mayor pro tem Amos O'Neal disagrees. "Our country is founded on God. In God we trust on it," says O'Neal.The city has received a letter explaining freedom from religion's reasons behind elimination of prayer. That document is being reviewed by the city attorney. Meanwhile, O'Neal isn't expecting any changes to council meetings anytime soon. "I have a right to pray in public. That's our right. So I think it's a matter of determining based on the information we have what course of action we'll take. I don't see us refraining from praying. I just don't see that happening," continued O'Neal.TV5 wants to know, Do you think public prayer has a place in local government meetings?

Dan and Moses Cortez had such a ball throwing their customers a 45th anniversary party, they decided an encore for the half-century mark was imperative.
Dan, 66, and his brother Moses, 62, grew up in Corona helping run the family business. Their parents, Salvador and Jessie Cortez, both native Coronans, started Cortez Jewelers with $1,400 in 1962 in the old downtown. Six years later, the store relocated to 496 South Corona Mall, eventually expanding from 1,200 to 2,600 square feet.
Dan tells it this way: "Dad was a rock hound. He joined a rock club. He collected agate and different types of stones in the desert. He didn't know what to do with them. The next step was to polish them. He still didn't know what to do them. So he went to jewelry and watch school through the GI bill."
At first, Dan and Moses veered away from gems by taking different paths. After they left the Navy, Dan studied dental prosthetics and Moses taught history. But business was booming and their parents needed more help. The brothers jumped in, eventually taking over the store about 22 years ago.
The Cortez brothers both do original designs for a loyal customer following. "So many have become friends," Dan said. "They're like family."
However, the recession has hit hard, with business down 30 to 40 percent of what it was in the 70′s, 80′s and 90′s, he said.
Still, the Cortez brothers, whose wives both work with them, feel they have much to celebrate on Sat. Nov. 10. From 3 to 7 p.m. they're throwing a party for friends and clients with music, food and wine.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
Are we looking at the renaissance of the perm? Could be. Both on and off the catwalk, eighties frizz is making a comeback—and nowhere was this drummed home more steadily than at Jasmine Di Milo's show on Thursday, where masses of ginger curls were the order of the day. "Nicole Kidman, eat your heart out!" cheered hairstylist Lyndell Mansfield after the label's presentation at the Ritz today. "I'm obsessed with The Witches of Eastwick. Michelle Pfeiffer, Susan Sarandon, and Cher—three women, really beautiful, really powerful, and they just look hot! And the clothes are really narrow so it looks even better with this big hair. Undone, raw, and purely sexy." Just how this will translate further will be interesting to see. Mansfield claims that in the salon, the veer toward curls is picking up momentum. Judging by the number of paps who snapped two twin sisters with strawberry blond ringlets at the show, we may be looking at a full-on trend in the making.

Research Topics
Genomes and Genes
Pharmacogenetics of ADRs: Warfarin Toxicity
Principal Investigator: ALLAN EDWARD RETTIE
Affiliation: University of Washington
Country: USA
Abstract: The Iong-term aim of this research is to determine the clinical consequences of genetic variability within the human CYP2C9 gene among subjects of diverse ethnic origins, and to understand molecular mechanisms that underlie genetically-based alterations in the functional activity of the CYP2C9 enzyme. CYP2C9 is a major human liver form of P450 that metabolizes approximately 15% of all drugs that are cleared by phase I processes. It is well established that treating patients that possess the common CYP2C9*2 and CYP2C9*3 variants with low therapeutic index drugs, e.g. warfarin, has clinically important implications. These are adverse drug reactions (ADRs) due to over-medication that can result in significant, but potentially avoidable, patient health costs. Although a large body of information exists for certain CYP2C9 polymorphisms in Caucasian subjects, the full spectrum of genetic variation at the CYP2C9 locus, and attendant functional consequences, is poorly defined. Moreover, other important ethnic groups in the US, notably Hispanics, have been quite neglected in this research area, despite evidence for population-specific polymorphisms in the CYP2C9 gene. Therefore, we will; Specific Aim 1: Identify the spectrum of distal regulatory polymorphisms that exist at the CYP2C9 locus. SNP discovery will be performed in a panel of 90 DNA samples from the Polymorphism Discovery Resource. SNP validation and allele frequency determinations will then be carried out in White and Hispanic populations. Specific Aim 2: Determine the functional significance of new promoter and coding-region polymorphisms in CYP2C9. Mechanisms underlying changes in function will be probed with reporter constructs, deletion analysis, DNA/binding protein assays, recombinantly expressed proteins and stably-transfected cell lines. Specific Aim 3: Determine the impact of new CYP2C9 polymorphisms on anticoagulation-related outcomes in previously phenotyped Caucasian patients by resequencing across 60 kbp of the CYP2C9 gene from 185 pre-existing warfarin patient DNA samples. Aims 1 and 2 will test the hypothesis that; novel, functionally important polymorphisms remain to be elucidated within the CYP2C9 locus, some of which will be population-selective. Aim 3 will test the hypothesis that; promoter-region SNPs in the CYP2C9 gene are a determinant of warfarin dose. Successful completion of these studies will impact the ability of clinicians to predict the likelihood of adverse drug reactions to warfarin, and other drugs that are CYP2C9 substrates, arising in minority populations.

Many people are going to gather in front of the television to root of the US of A for the Olympics has a number of sports that everyone can enjoy. If you want to invite a few friends over to watch the Olympics with you, you should host an Olympic viewing party in your Arlington apartment. Check out these tips for hosting the party without missing a beat of the Olympics.
- Make the food for your part a tribute to America with the classics, including burgers, hot dogs, and fries.
- No games would be complete with an award ceremony to cap off the day. You can purchase or make gold, silver, and bronze "medals" ahead of time for each athletic event you are holding.
- You can include your own opening ceremonies at your party, complete with an Olympic torch. Give each family or child a specific flag to carry and have them all march around your yard.
- Go with the American red, white, and blue or focus on the colors of the Olympic rings, which are blue, black, red, yellow, and green. Each country that participates in the Olympics has at least one of these colors in their flag.
The Olympics is a pretty big deal all over the world, and the world has been counting down for it, so invite your family and friends over to watch it with you. What is your favorite Olympic sport?

This season has been a roller coaster ride of emotion. After the Ravens game it seemed that this year's team could show some promise. Their was a feeling that we were a few plays away from a big upset and could be a surprise team this year. After the hated Raider game we were experiencing deja vu. We saw a glimpse of last years team ...one that found a way to lose games they should of won. Still after the game their was a feeling that we just might be moving in the right direction. After Philly their seems to be the feeling that we are nowhere near where we need to be and maybe we should give up on this year and even play for a high draft pick in next years draft.
First off it is important to remember that a team is never as good as they look in a win... or as bad as they look in a loss. In most games you can point to one or two plays that the game turned on. The difference in talent levels on any given position is so small that a lot of times it comes down to the mental side of the game that makes the difference. Most championship teams can point to one game that turned around a team or season. While I would agree that we might not be where we would like to be in regards to skill level or game breaking players. I can also point out teams loaded with all the talented players in the world often fail to live up to expectations... the Cowboy's comes to mind.
I am not ready to give up on this season and don't feel the team is either. In years past we would have stood pat with the team we broke camp with. This management is very pro active. I choose to believe this glass is half full. A common denominator with success has always been a good ownership and front office that has a strong desire to succeed. A recent analys was done linking all championship teams and what they had in common. It came down to a strong belief by the coaching staff and players that they could win . I believe that Haley has the mental attitude that this team needs. We have added a few players this year that expect to win. We could be alot closer than it seems to be. I am looking forward to this year and believe that this could be the year we look back as the beginning of championships to come.
