Andreas Kolbe writes Wikipedia is well known to have a very large gender imbalance, with survey-based estimates of women contributors ranging from 8.5% to around 16%. This is a more extreme gender imbalance than even that of Reddit, the most male-dominated major social media platform, and it has a palpable effect on Wikipedia content. Moreover, Wikipedia editor survey data indicate that only 1 in 50 respondents is a mother – a good proportion of female contributors are in fact minors, with women in their twenties less likely to contribute to Wikipedia. Wikimedia Foundation efforts to address this "gender gap" have so far remained fruitless. Wikipedia's demographic pattern stands in marked contrast to female-dominated social media sites like Facebook and Pinterest, where women aged 18 to 34 are particularly strongly represented. It indicates that it isn't lack of time or family commitments that keep women from contributing to Wikipedia – women simply find other sites more attractive. Wikipedia's user interface and its culture of anonymity may be among the factors leading women to spend their online time elsewhere.

theodp (442580) writes Unless some things change, UC Davis Prof. Norman Matloff worries that the Statistician could be added to the endangered species list. "The American Statistical Association (ASA) leadership, and many in Statistics academia," writes Matloff, "have been undergoing a period of angst the last few years, They worry that the field of Statistics is headed for a future of reduced national influence and importance, with the feeling that: [1] The field is to a large extent being usurped by other disciplines, notably Computer Science (CS). [2] Efforts to make the field attractive to students have largely been unsuccessful."
Matloff, who has a foot in both the Statistics and CS camps, but says, "The problem is not that CS people are doing Statistics, but rather that they are doing it poorly. Generally the quality of CS work in Stat is weak. It is not a problem of quality of the researchers themselves; indeed, many of them are very highly talented. Instead, there are a number of systemic reasons for this, structural problems with the CS research 'business model'." So, can Statistics be made more attractive to students? "Here is something that actually can be fixed reasonably simply," suggests no-fan-of-TI-83-pocket-calculators-as-a-computational-vehicle Matloff. "If I had my druthers, I would simply ban AP Stat, and actually, I am one of those people who would do away with the entire AP program. Obviously, there are too many deeply entrenched interests for this to happen, but one thing that can be done for AP Stat is to switch its computational vehicle to R."

MojoKid writes: The Entertainment Software Association has just released its 2014 report on the state of the video game industry (PDF), and as the title of this post suggests, there have been some significant shifts since the last report. Let's tackle the most interesting one first: Females have become the dominant gamer, claiming 52% of the pie. That's impressive, but perhaps more so is the fact that women over the age of 18 represent 36% of the game-playing population, whereas boys aged 18 and under claim a mere 17%. Statistics like these challenge the definition of "gamer." Some might say that it's a stretch to call someone who only plays mobile games a "gamer" (Candy Crush anyone?). Mental hurdle aside, the reality is that anyone who plays games, regardless of the platform, is a gamer.

An anonymous reader sends word of correlation found between higher internet speeds and higher test scores. Quoting:
The numbers—first crunched by the Internet provider comparison site HSI — show a distinct trend between faster Internet and higher ACT test scores. On the high end, Massachusetts scores big with an average Internet speed of 13.1Mbps, and an average ACT test score of 24.1. Mississippi, on the other hand, has an average speed of just 7.6Mbps and an average score of 18.9.
In between those two states, the other 48 fall in a positive correlation that, while not perfect, is quite undeniable. According to HSI's Edwin Ivanauskas, the correlation is stronger than that between household income and test scores, which have long been considered to be firmly connected to each other. The ACT scores were gathered from ACT.org, which has the official rankings and averages for the 2013 test, and the speed ratings were taken from Internet analytics firm Akamai's latest report.

An anonymous reader writes Consumers are inadvertently leaving back doors open to attackers as they share login details and sign up for automatic log on to mobile apps and services, according to new research by Intercede. While 52% of respondents stated that security was a top priority when choosing a mobile device, 51% are putting their personal data at risk by sharing usernames and passwords with friends, family and colleagues. The research revealed that consumers are not only sharing passwords but also potentially putting their personal and sensitive information at risk by leaving themselves logged in to applications on their mobile devices, with over half of those using social media applications and email admitting that they leave themselves logged in on their mobile device.

An anonymous reader writes: Apple has released a diversity report on the genders and races of its employees. As is common in the tech industry, the majority of Apple's workforce is male — only three out of 10 employees around the globe are female. Broken down, males compose 65 percent of non-tech workers, 80 percent of tech workers, and 72 percent of Apple's leadership.
According to CEO Tim Cook, he's unhappy with Apple's diversity numbers and says Apple is working to improve them: "Apple is committed to transparency, which is why we are publishing statistics about the race and gender makeup of our company. Let me say up front: As CEO, I'm not satisfied with the numbers on this page. They're not new to us, and we've been working hard for quite some time to improve them. We are making progress, and we're committed to being as innovative in advancing diversity as we are in developing our products."

According to data gathered by Akamai, an analysis from Broadview Networks comes to the conclusion that the top five U.S. states for broadband speed are Virginia (at the top of the list, with an average transfer speed of 13.78 Mbps), Delaware, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Washington, with Washington, D.C. slightly edging out the similarly-named state; Alaska comes in dead last. These are average speeds, though, and big states have more variation to account for, including connections in the hinterlands. You could still have a fast connection in Chattanooga, or be stuck on dial-up in the Texas panhandle.

An anonymous reader writes: Despite support for Windows XP finally ending three months ago, the ancient OS has only now fallen below the 25 percent market share mark. To add to the bad news for Microsoft, after only nine full months of availability, its latest operating system version, Windows 8.1, has lost share for the first time. For desktop browser share, Chrome is up, taking mostly from Internet Explorer and Firefox. For mobile browsers, Safari continues to fall while Chrome maintains strong growth.

theodp writes: U.S. civil rights leader Rev. Jesse Jackson called on the Obama administration Monday to scrutinize the tech industry's lack of diversity. "There's no talent shortage. There's an opportunity shortage," Jackson said, calling Silicon Valley "far worse" than many others, such as car makers that have been pressured by unions. He said tech behemoths have largely escaped scrutiny by a public dazzled with their cutting-edge gadgets. Jackson spoke to press after meeting with Labor Secretary Tom Perez for a review of H-1B visas, arguing that data show Americans have the skills and should have first access to high-paying tech work. Jackson's Rainbow Push Coalition plans to file a freedom-of-information request next month with the EEOC to acquire employment data for companies that have not yet disclosed it publicly, which includes Amazon, Broadcom, Oracle, Qualcomm and Yelp. Unlike the Dept. of Labor, Jackson isn't buying Silicon Valley's argument that minority hiring statistics are trade secrets. Five years after Google's HR Chief would only reassure Congress the company had "a very strong internal Black Googler Network" and its CEO brushed off similar questions about its diversity numbers by saying "we're pretty happy with the way our recruiting work," Google — under pressure from Jackson — fessed up to having a tech workforce that's only 1% Black, apparently par for the course in Silicon Valley.

jradavenport (3020071) writes "Using two years of continuous monitoring of my MacBook Air battery usage (once every minute), I have been able to study my own computer use patterns in amazing detail. This dataset includes 293k measurements, or more than 204 days of use over two years. I use the laptop over 50 hours per week on average, and my most productive day is Tuesday. Changes in my work/life balance have begun to appear over the two-year span, and I am curious whether such data can help inform how much computer use is healthy/productive."

With recent news that Facebook altered users' feeds as part of a psychology experiment, OKCupid has jumped in and noted that they too have altered their algorithms and experimented with their users (some unintentional) and "if you use the Internet, you're the subject of hundreds of experiments at any given time, on every site. That's how websites work." Findings include that removing pictures from profiles resulted in deeper conversations, but as soon as the pictures returned appearance took over; personality ratings are highly correlated with appearance ratings (profiles with attractive pictures and no other information still scored as having a great personality); and that suggesting a bad match is a good match causes people to converse nearly as much as ideal matches would.

An anonymous reader writes "A team of researchers at the TU Berlin and RWTH Aachen presented an analysis of the Internet Census 2012 data set (here's the PDF) in the July edition of the ACM Sigcomm Computer Communication Review journal. After its release on March 17, 2013 by an anonymous author, the Internet Census data created an immediate media buzz, mainly due to its unethical data collection methodology that exploited default passwords to form the Carna botnet. The now published analysis suggests that the released data set is authentic and not faked, but also reveals a rather chaotic picture. The Census suffers from a number of methodological flaws and also lacks meta-data information, which renders the data unusable for many further analyses. As a result, the researchers have not been able to verify several claims that the anonymous author(s) made in the published Internet Census report. The researchers also point to similar but legal efforts measuring the Internet and remark that the illegally measured Internet Census 2012 is not only unethical but might have been overrated by the press."

Harvard economics professor Sendhil Mullainathan takes a look in the New York Times at interesting correlations between the release dates of new phones and OSes and search queries that indicate frustration with the speed of the phones that people already have. Mullainathan illustrates with graphs (and gives plausible explanations for the difference) just how different the curves are over time for the search terms "iPhone slow" and "Samsung Galaxy slow." It's easy to see with the iPhone graph especially how it could seem to users that Apple has intentionally slowed down older phones to nudge them toward upgrading. While he's careful not to rule out intentional slowing of older phone models (that's possible, after all), Mullainathan cites several factors that mean there's no need to believe in a phone-slowing conspiracy, and at least two big reasons (reputation, liability) for companies — Apple, Google, and cellphone manufacturers like Samsung — not to take part in one. He points out various wrinkles in what the data could really indicate, including genuine but innocent slowdowns caused by optimizing for newer hardware. It's an interesting look at the difference between having mere statistics, no matter how rigorously gathered, and knowing quite what they mean.

theodp (442580) writes "Code.org reports that preliminary data on students who took the Advanced Placement (AP) Computer Science Exam in 2014 show an increase of 8,276 students over 2013 and represent what the College Board called "the first real indication of progress in AP CS enrollment for women and underserved minorities in years." Girls made up 20% of the 39,393 total test takers, compared to 18.7% of the 31,117 test takers in 2013. Black or African American students saw their share increase by 0.19%, from 3.56% to 3.75% (low, but good enough to crush Twitter). Code.org credits the increased enrollment to its celebrity-studded CS promo film starring Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg ("I even made a personal bet (reflected in my contractual commitment to Code.org donors) that our video could help improve the seemingly immovable diversity numbers in computer science," Code.org founder Hadi Partovi notes). However, some of the increase is likely attributable to the other efforts of Code.org's donors. Microsoft ramped up its TEALS AP CS program in 2013-2014, and — more significantly — Google helped boost AP CS study not only through its CS4HS program, but also by funding the College Board's AP STEM Access program, which offered $5 million to schools and teachers to encourage minority and female students to enroll in AP STEM courses. This summer, explains the College Board, "All AP STEM teachers in the participating schools (not just the new AP STEM teachers), who increase diversity in their class, receive a [$100] DonorsChoose.org gift card for each student in the course who receives a 3, 4, or 5 on the AP Exam." The bad news for AP CS teachers anticipating Google "Excellence Funding" bounties (for increasing course enrollment and completion "by at least five underrepresented students") is that AP CS pass rates decreased to 60.8% in 2014 (from 67.6% in 2013), according to Total Registration. Using these figures and a back-of-the-envelope calculation, while enrollment saw a 26.6% increase over last year, the total number of students passing increased by 13.9%."

AmiMoJo writes The operator of the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant says more than one trillion becquerels of radioactive substances were released as a result of debris removal work at one of the plant's reactors. Radioactive cesium was detected at levels exceeding the government limit in rice harvested last year in Minami Soma, some 20 kilometers from Fukushima Daiichi. TEPCO presented the Nuclear Regulation Authority with an estimate that the removal work discharged 280 billion becquerels per hour of radioactive substances, or a total of 1.1 trillion becquerels. The plant is believed to be still releasing an average of 10 million becquerels per hour of radioactive material.

dcblogs (1096431) writes The Census Bureau reports that only 26% of people with any type of four-year STEM degree are working in a STEM field. For those with a degree specifically in computer, math or statistics, the figure is 49%, nearly the same for engineering degrees. What happens to the other STEM trained workers? The largest numbers are managers at non-STEM businesses (22.5%), or having careers in education (17.7%), business/finance (13.2%) and office support (11.5%). Some other data points: Among those with college degrees in computer-related occupations, men are paid more than women ($90,354 vs. $78,859 on average), and African American workers are more likely to be unemployed than white or Asian workers.

schwit1 (797399) writes with news that a UK study has found that folks concerned about climate change don't do much to conserve power at home. From the article: Those who say they are concerned about the prospect of climate change consume more energy than those who say it is "too far into the future to worry about," the study commissioned by the Department for Energy and climate change found. That is in part due to age, as people over 65 are more frugal with electricity but much less concerned about global warming. However, even when pensioners are discounted, there is only a "weak trend" to show that people who profess to care about climate change do much to cut their energy use. The findings were based on the Household Electricity Survey, which closely monitored the electricity use and views of 250 families over a year. The report (PDF), by experts from Loughborough University and Cambridge Architectural Research, was commissioned and published by DECC. High power use doesn't have to be dirty: Replace coal, methane, and petroleum with nuclear, wind, solar, etc.

Nerval's Lobster (2598977) writes Technology writer Jon Brodkin sat down with a group of indie game developers (as well as a professor at the University of Southern California's game-design program) to talk about why they decided to launch their own small studios rather than stick with comfortable (albeit stressful) jobs at major firms like Disney or Zynga. The answer, as you'd expect, boils down to control. "Working for a bigger company is a good way to gain experience, and learn how games are made," said Graham Smith, one of the co-founders of Toronto-based DrinkBox Studios. "It's also nice to have a steady salary coming in as you learn the ropes. On the flip side, depending on the company, you might not have much control over the game's design, or even be making the types of games that you enjoy playing." But startups come with their own challenges, not the least of which is the prospect of an economic downturn quickly wiping you out, or not making your Kickstarter goal.

The 7-Keto metabolite of DHEA is a natural, nonsteroidal molecule that is produced in the body from DHEA. This metabolite is chemically different from DHEA and cannot convert back into DHEA in the body. Studies indicate that 7-Keto may be useful in promoting weight loss without the use of stimulants while following an exercise program and healthful diet. As humans age, natural levels of 7-Keto begin to decline. Research in animals also shows that aging may have an effect on the bodys ability to maintain optimum thermogenesis (fat burning) activity. Recent research indicates that 7-Keto may play important roles in activating thermogenic enzymes and promoting weight loss.

Comment on U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Employment Situation Report
Kathy Bostjancic, Director of Macroeconomic Analysis, The Conference Board
Robust Job Growth Could Even Get Better
NEW YORK, July 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The labor market is continuing to strengthen, as evidenced by the gain of 195,000 new jobs created in June. Despite headwinds from the spending sequester, the employment number over the past three months has remained resilient. The strong advance in the employment count provides support for the Federal Reserve to start to taper back on its quantitative easing in the near future. More and bigger paychecks (average wages picked up significantly at 10 cents relative to May), together with more consumer confidence that could be derived from this surprising strength in the labor market, all feed consumer demand - which in turn feeds two-thirds of GDP. To continue this strength in the labor market, the key is not just the number of new paychecks from new jobs, but the additional spending power to perk up spending. Business will have to hire if there is more demand for goods and services. This momentum can be sustained with strong tailwinds from the housing, energy and automotive sectors.

Cronut Burger linked to food poisoning
34 feel symptoms, 5 sent to hospital after eating weird foods at Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto
The much-ballyhooed Cronut Burger, available at this year's Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto, is leaving a bad taste in some mouths, with dozens of people reportedly ill after eating the croissant-doughnut-burger monstrosity.
The wave of illness hit the exhibition Tuesday, according to Toronto Public Health. The CNE runs Aug. 18 to Sept. 2, and this may imperil the availability of the gut-busting snack.
In total, 34 people complained of gastrointestinal difficulties, a number that rose as the investigation into the food poisoning continued on Wednesday. At least five people were taken to the hospital.
Canada.com confirmed with two people who fell ill that it was the Cronut Burger that did them in. However, Toronto Public Health spokespeople did not want to rush to judgement when answering questions at an afternoon press conference on Wednesday, despite "messages in the virtual world" pinning the blame on the Cronut Burger.
"We have not identified any particular food source as being involved," said Dr. Lisa Berger.
The purveyor of the calorie-rich snack, EPIC Burgers and Waffles, will remain closed for the time being. Results from the laboratory confirming which item was responsible for the food poisoning will take days, said Berger.
Toronto journalist Anupa Mistry said she was affected, tweeting excitedly about her culinary adventure on Tuesday, only to rescind her praise for the Cronut Burger the following day.
That Cronut burger is prrrrrrrropppper guy—

Take back what I said about the cronut burger. Don't do it. I puked 7 times last night.—

Newstalk 1010 spoke to hospital staff who also seemed to point to the Cronut Burger as the culprit.
"The one thing that they all seem to have in common, was that they had eaten the cronut burger," Newstalk's John Downs reported.
Others at the CNE ate the new burger and felt fine, though.

"An expert team is onsite at the CNE investigating the situation. The CNE remains open," the statement reads. "We will be providing regular updates as information become available."
The CNE also invites anyone who fell ill to contact them at Toronto 311 or 416-598-7285.
Although the Cronut Burger was far from the only over-the-top food item available, it was the most famous offering at the CNE this year, with even international outlets like the Daily Mail and The Atlantic writing breathless reports about it.
Yup food poisoning…cronut burger lmao… I believe over 100+ ppl going to be sick—

Already talked to Toronto health and cp24 about this cronut food poisoning.. Burger wasnt bad though #stillsucks—

Meanwhile, the creator of the cronut, New York-based chef Dominique Ansel, has made noises about possible legal action against his Toronto copycats. The Cronut Burger was a collaboration between EPIC Burgers and Waffles and the Le Dolci bakery.
Other weird foods on display at the CNE this year include sweet potato fries with Nutella, seafood chowder fries and bacon milkshakes.

Now the the moratorium on NHL transactions is over, the Florida Panthers have reassigned forward Brady Calla to the Florida Everblades.
As I wrote about last week, Calla was stuck in no mans land after being added to the Panthers roster just before the Olympic break.
I know some people were convinced that something more was going on with the Calla situation, but he's back on the team and he should play on Saturday against South Carolina.
Judging on some of the comments from Calla, I wouldn't be surprised if he's in town for a while.

My name is Anne, she said, Anne Frank
Arcadia Books, Sep 1, 2007 - Biography & Autobiography - 176 pages
A touching and intimate autobiography, this account recalls the author's remarkable childhood friendship with Anne Frank while attending a special school for Jewish children in Amsterdam during the late 1930s. With the story of her initial meeting and bonding with Anne Frank, Jacqueline van Maarsen's memoir recollects her family's near escape from the Netherlands only months after the Frank family went into hiding—or moved to Switzerland, as van Maarsen was lead to believe—and provides a revealing look into life under Nazi occupation. Written by a one-time friend who only discovered the truth about Anne's fate after the war ended, this memoir is a moving, firsthand recollection of a youthful friendship in the foreboding days of World War II.

TV star Martin Clunes thanks Beaminster School pupils for their help with event
2:00pm Monday 3rd December 2012 in News By Rene Gerryts
ACTOR Martin Clunes and wife Philippa thanked school pupils in person for their help at his annual fair.
The Beaminster School students volunteer for the local Buckham Fair as the culmination of their Community Sports Leader course.
As well as to say thank you, Mr Clunes presented awards to the 16 students who completed the course.
Mr Clunes, who lives near Baeminster, told the sixth form students that the fair raised more than £42,000 for Julia's House children's hospice. With the event growing in popularity each year, he also outlined some improvements that will be made for next year.
They include hiring professional help with car parking and traffic control to ease congestion and improve access.
Teacher Kevin Donovan, who co-ordinates the sports leaders programme, said: "Beaminster School is delighted to be able to support Buckham Fair, and 19 students are already signed up for volunteering duties at next year's event."
The sports leaders course involves planning and leading a variety of sessions for students of all age groups.
At Buckham Fair, the students worked from 8.30am to 6.30pm, covering a variety of tasks including staffing the entrance, running pony rides, emptying the bins and generally facilitating access around the site, as well as the traffic control.

More Mowing Ft Adams...
Life is good when all ya need to wonder is how you can get turf grass to grow on something that seemed almost overwhelming in the beginning. Yesterday the Navy NAPS folks helped out a lot! Even got one guy working over some stumps that were bugging me. Great, because they were on the edge in my 'no mow' zone.
Some before and afters. The after ones are more than two weeks since I mowed it last, but it's been dry and there were zombies at the fort last weekend. Oh, the Lo Boy has been under the knife (wrench?).

Re: More Mowing Ft Adams... Added working photos
Fort Adams surely is a national treasure. It was a training ground for engineers and is the largest and most complex fort in the US. It is sited on a peninsula about two miles from the open Atlantic, so they have very elaborate land defenses to protect from a landing on the south side of the island. It is the land defenses; crown works and advance redoubt, where the volunteers (and the Lo Boy) put forth so much effort.
There is a 'regular' group of volunteers that have accomplished a tremendous job of 'recovering' these earth-topped works from the ravages of time, trees and poison ivy. The Navy schools have been outstanding at helping out. Naval Supply School, Justice school and the Naval Academy Prep School (NAPS) have been a huge help. The man hours of volunteer effort is truly staggering, but so it the size of the works generally outside 'public' view.
Some history... look at Joseph Totten and the third system

Some pictures of the volunteers in action. Special mention to ScotLem for his outstanding efforts (he 'repowered' the old DR among other great deeds), good shot of him mowing the top.

Re: More Mowing Ft Adams...
Come on over Calvin, always got work around that place, it's pretty huge. If nothing else you should plan a trip for a tour (lots to see in the big city too). Be sure to tell them you know the 'yellow tractor guy'.
Yep Ed, actually goats are what's really needed for the slopes off of what Scot was doing. They do have goats at SVF http://svffoundation.org/, but I think they are too special to eat the poison ivy 40' up. I think Scot found all the chimneys on that end .
Can't figure what kind of 'earth' they used, how can a 45 degree slope not erode after 150+ years?? But it hasn't. Also odd is how it can rain 2" and the next day there are no puddles (all drained) and even a fairly heavy Lo Boy (150# on the front wheels, loaded tires, FH and mower) doesn't ever leave a rut. Guess I should grab a soil sample and test the lab at URI that tests the soil. Surely there must be something that explains what's in that stuff in some archive?

Re: More Mowing Ft Adams...
I was just camping at Burlingame over the weekend! We left early as the weather was predicted to deteriorate rapidly. We had a bad storm just a few miles south of us Saturday about 3AM. Missed us "by that much." Yes I'd love to swing by and have a look! I'd definitely mention the "yellow tractor guy" and see if you're around!

Re: More Mowing Ft Adams...
Great job of helping preserve history. It looks great.
Re: More Mowing Ft Adams...
Great effort at Ft. Adams! I never realized it was so extensive. I've only been there once or twice. A number of years ago a bunch of us ham radio guys set up a special event station at one of the forts. We made plenty of contacts from all over the US and worldwide. We were inside a bunker that had small peep windows looking out on the entrance to the bay. I believe we had to get in through a hole in the roof. Very cool fortifications on Newport and Jamestown.
New to tractors but having fun learning.

Rape and sexual assault are crisis provoking events. Although everyone responds differently to such experiences there are often stages which a person may pass through on the road to recovery.
Rape and other types of sexual assault happen to many people regardless of age, appearance, economic status, race, size, etc. It is never the fault of the survivor. You may feel like you made some unwise decision and even blame yourself for the assault, remember: No One wants to be or deserves to be assaulted or abused.
Following is some information about rape trauma syndrome. Being aware of responding to a crisis like rape may help you to identify your feelings, accept the feelings, and seek out appropriate support and help.
Stage I: The Acute Phase: Crisis and Disorganization (immediately following)
Description: Typically, there are two styles of responding to rape, 1) the Expressed style; you may cry, sob, experience restlessness, tenseness, 2) the Controlled style; you may feel and appear calm, subdued, numb.
Many survivors have their lives threatened or report that fear of losing their life was very great. It is common to fear that the attacker may return or retaliate. Usually this is not the case, it is wise to be aware, take protective measures and ask a friend to spend some time with you for the first few days and nights after the assault.
During the first few days; following the assault you may experience soreness, headaches, bruises (if they come out, tell the police so photos may be taken), sleeplessness, gastrointestinal distress such as nausea and or rectal itching and vaginal discharge.
During Stage I you need to be accepted, believed and understood, to feel safe, to regain a feeling of control over your life, and to make decisions regarding:
- seeking medical attention, rape evidence
- reporting to police, you can decide about prosecuting later
- telling the people close to you, family, friends, lovers
During Stage 1 it is important for you to make these decisions yourself. Others may try to help you be deciding what you should do and may even tell you what to do. It is important for you to take control and make your own decisions. Sometimes you might need more information or have certain questions about the medical, legal or judiciary processes involved after an assault. Contact your local rape crisis center or victim assistance program.
Stage II: Outward Satisfactory Adjustment (also called Denial or Fight into Health)
Description: At this stage you may attempt to return to your normal routine. You may strongly attempt to forget about the assault, may reject outside help and in general get on with your life. You may be able to suppress your feelings and memories of the incident so completely that you may even forget the details or that it even happened. If you have been talking with others about the assault, you may stop during this stage. What often happens in this stage is that the energy you have been using to deny and suppress the incident is not available for growth and every day living and you may begin to experience phobias, disturbing dreams/nightmares, uncomfortable feelings may be triggered by a specific incident and fear may set in. You may use drugs and alcohol to help you. Obviously, these experiences are not pleasant and at a subconscious level you are asking yourself for help in integrating the traumatic experience rather than deny it any longer.
During Stage II, you need to be allowed to cope with your experiences as you are able, to have help readily available if you need it, such as a counselor, friend, support group, minister, etc., to try to talk about your experiences and reactions, and to check out problem areas (fear of pregnancy, disease, physical or sexual concerns, progress in the legal procedures, effects on personal relationships -- fears).
Usually most survivors spend some time in this phase but will move on to Stage III as a result of some of the above mentioned experiences. It is important to receive help and support in dealing with these reactions. Some survivors stay in Stage II (Denial) for a very long period of time, but eventually Stage III comes along.
Stage III: Resurfacing of Problems
Description: In this stage you will no longer deny the experience. You may even relive the experience, fall into depression, have insomnia, sexual dysfunction, relationship problems, phobic reactions, nightmares, etc... You may feel overwhelmed by previously suppressed emotions. You may wish to talk to others about the incident only to find that family and friends thought you were "over it by now" and they may not be willing to offer support. This can be discouraging. This is a very good time to seek therapy. If you were seeing a counselor during Stage II and stopped, this is a time when you may be ready to begin again. You may feel like moving, changing jobs or in some way changing your lifestyle as a means of coping. These are normal feelings and it is very helpful to have a safe, supportive place to work on issues, make decisions and integrate the experience. Counseling is very appropriate. Often couples and or marital counseling is necessary for the other person in your life who is also experiencing trauma from the assault.
During Stage III, you need to get in touch with previously suppressed emotions such as anger, fear, grief, and express them and then integrate them; to resolve negative feelings about self and place the blame for the rape where it belongs-on the rapist; to re-establish feelings of safety and control over your life; to reduce fear and panic reactions; to clarify and work on goals and interpersonal relationships; to identify and work on sexual concerns and explore coping strategies.
Below are lists of factors that aid recovery and those that delay recovery. Be aware of where you are in terms of recovery and allow yourself time to identify and work on issues.
Factors Aiding Recovery
- positive self-esteem
- social support
- previous success in coping with stress
- minimization (little by little)
- suppression (cognitive control)
- economic security
- accurate information about rape and rape trauma syndrome
- action-implementing decisions
Factors Delaying Recovery
- prior victimization
- age & developmental stage
- chronic life stressors
- lack of social support
- poor self-esteem
- degree of violence during attack
- lack of information regarding rape
Sexual Assault Response Team (SART)
The SART Program is a multidisciplinary approach to sexual assault investigation. Members of law enforcement, medical personnel, children services, victim assistance programs, and victim advocates work together to form a more victim sensitive, team approach to working with sexual assault victims.
Advantages to SART:
- Multidisciplinary team approach
- Single victim interview
- Higher rate of prosecution
- Victim advocacy and support
- Enhanced quality of case documentation
- Single evidence collector (SANE)
- Optimum use of resources
- Case coordination and review
- Follow-up care to the victim
Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE)
A SANE nurse is a registered nurse who has completed standards and educational requirements in the area of Forensic Nursing with an emphasis on care of the sexual assault victim. Education includes, but is not limited to:
- Rape Trauma Syndrome
- Identification of injury consistent with sexual assault
- Evidence collection techniques and rationale
- Use of colposcopy and other photography techniques
- Sexual assault and the law
|Rape is an act of sex.
|Rape is experienced as an act of violence, wherein sex is used as the method to commit the violent act.
|No woman can be raped against her will.
|Women often react like a deer who has light shined in her eyes. The fear of death or injury is often enough to gain her compliance. Additionally the average rapist is 25 lbs. Heavier and 3" taller than his victim. He has the element of surprise on his side. Weapons or threats are used approximately 85% of the time.
|A woman can't be raped by her husband.
|Almost one half of the states in this country support this myth in some way. Women are not property to be used in any manner seen to be fit by the "owner".
|Survivors become hysterical (i.e., a calm person alleging rape is probably lying).
|People express themselves in various styles ranging from complete calm to hysteria, and some survivors deny any feelings/reactions.
|Only young and attractive women are raped.
|Women, children, and men are assaulted because they are perceived to be vulnerable. Statistics reveal victims range in age from several weeks to the elderly: youngest male (FBI statistics) - 6 months (anal rape); oldest victim (in Bergen County) - 96-year-old woman.
|Women fantasize about being raped.
|A woman's fantasy might be that the man of her dreams won't take no for an answer, a tribute to her desirability. In her fantasy he acts for her pleasure and she has control. That is in no way like the purely violent act of aggression that we call rape. No one enjoys being raped. It is a brutal intrusion into the mind and body that may cause long lasting mental and physical trauma.
|If you allow a man to be sexually active with you he won't be able to control himself.
|Men are responsible for their behavior. Even if a woman initially agrees to a sexual encounter, changes her mind, and is then forced, it is rape.
|Rapists are impulsive and motivated by uncontrollable sexual desire.
|Studies have revealed that approximately 75% of rapes are planned in advance. Of those studied 2/3 of the offenders had a normal sex life with a wife or girlfriend. They raped to control, degrade and humiliate the victim.
|Rapists are psychopathic, deranged and from poor backgrounds.
|Rapists are found in all socioeconomic classes. The rapist might be a car mechanic, delivery man, classmate, or he might be a doctor, lawyer, or business man in a three-piece suit.
|Women are raped by strange men in dark alleys.
|Studies indicate that between 50 and 75% of the time the victim and the assailant were friends or acquaintances. Statistics reveal that between a quarter and a third of sexual assaults occur in the victim's home.
|Most rapes are interracial.
|Rapes are intra-racial approximately 93% of the time. Caucasians rape Caucasians, African-Americans rape African-Americans, Hispanics rape Hispanics, etc. In addition, 70 to 75% occur between people of the same socioeconomic class.
|Rapes occur at night.
|Rapes occur at all times of the day. One source states that 68% of rapes occur between 6 p.m. and 3 a.m. The incidence of rape rises on weekends.
|There is a "right" way to respond to a rape situation.
|Each rapist has his own pattern of attack. The best approach (if possible) is to observe cues from the rapist and to follow one's instincts. If a victim escapes alive she/he has responded in the "right" way. (And, sometimes there is no "right" way to respond.
|Rapists never return to the same victim, so fear of retaliation is unrealistic.
|Cases of the rapist returning have been reported.
|Men cannot be sexually assaulted.
|Though statistically documented much less frequently than women, men are sexually assaulted. Men suffer the same aftermath as women, but are even more reluctant to report or seek help. The level of violence in male rape is generally higher. The question of "Why didn't you fight him off?" is difficult for a woman, but devastating to a man. Typical situations involving male rape include robberies, gang attacks, detention centers and prisons.
|Children who are molested by members of the same sex will become homosexual.
|The profound trauma to a child does not appear to include sexual identity confusion.
|Women falsely charge rape.
|Statistics demonstrate that 5% of reported rapes are unfounded. There are no more false charges of rape than there are for the crimes of burglary or robbery. Rape is the most under-reported crime. It is estimated that only one in ten sexual assaults is reported.
|"It will not/cannot happen to me."
|The misconception that only a "certain kind" of woman is raped may serve as a false sense of security against the knowledge that anyone can be victimized.
|"Women are asking for it by their dress or actions."
|Rapists, whether involved in stranger or acquaintance rape, look for available targets they perceive as vulnerable, not women who dress in a particular way. No person asks to be hurt or degraded, just as no one asks to be robbed because they are carrying money in their pocket. No woman - whatever her behaviors - "deserves" to be raped by one or seven or eleven men. Rape is the responsibility of the rapist(s), not the victim.
Anger Rape
In this type of rape, sexuality becomes a hostile act. Anger Rape, nationwide, accounts for approximately forty percent (40%) of rape occurrences. Anger rape is characterized by physical brutality; far more force is used than is necessary to subdue the victim. Anger rape can either be a blitz attach wherein the victim is caught completely off guard, or it could involve a confidence style approach, wherein the victim afterward will report that "he seemed very pleasant at first." The experience for the offender is one of conscious anger and rage. He expresses his fury both physically and verbally. The anger rapist's aim is to hurt and debase his victim. He expresses his contempt through abusive and profane language. The anger rapist considers rape the ultimate offense he can commit against another person. The anger rapist strikes sporadically and infrequently, because the assault discharges his anger, and then it takes time for his frustrations and aggravation to reach the boiling point again. He wants to hurt and degrade his victim--his weapon is sex and his motive is revenge.
Victim Impact -- Anger Rape
- The medical exam generally reveals considerable physical trauma
- Victims report experiencing the rape as a life-threatening situation
- Despite the brutality, the psychological trauma may not be prolonged, for several reasons:
- Her visible injuries evoke sympathy and validate use of force;
- There is usually much concrete evidence of an assault;
- There is generally little suspicion of either a false accusation or victim participation;
- The victim generally receives support and comfort from those she encounters immediately after the rape;
- The victim's goal was probably to survive that attack, and because she has done so, she can go on with her life;
- Her feelings of guilt may be minimal;
- Her feelings of anger may be strong, which is healthy and will lead to recovery.
- Her visible injuries evoke sympathy and validate use of force;
Power Rape
The goal of a power rapist is to control the victim, not to hurt her. The perpetrator's sexuality becomes a means of compensation for underlying feelings of inadequacy and serves to express issues of mastery, strength, control, authority, identity, and capability. He uses only the amount of force necessary to subdue his victim. The power rapist relies upon verbal threats, and intimidation with a weapon. This form of rape accounts for approximately fifty-five percent (55%) nationally, according to some studies. In fact, it may be even more common than this.
The power rapist relates to fantasies about sexual conquest and rape--his scenario may be that even though the victim initially resists, he will overpower her, she will be unable to resist his sexual prowess, and ultimately will enjoy being raped. Because this is only fantasy, he does not feel reassured by either his own performance or the victim's response--he must find another victim, this time, "the right one". Hence, his offenses may become repetitive and compulsive--he may commit a series of rapes over a short period of time.
The power rapist's offenses can be either premeditated, when the offender goes in search of a victim with the clear intent of sexual assault, or opportunistic, a situation may present itself which gives him access to a victim. The power rapist's choice of a victim is predominantly determined by availability, accessibility, and vulnerability.
Power rapist's are likely to engage in conversation of a sexual nature, both assertive, as in giving instructions, and inquisitive, as in questioning her about her sexual interests and his sexual prowess. The power rapist needs to believe that the victim enjoyed "it" and he may even ask her for a date later. Power rapists tend to keep their victims captive after the assaults. They drive around, take their victims to some location of their choosing, such as an abandoned building. This captivity phase allows him to maintain the control he has established.
Victim Impact -- Power Rape
- At the hospital, the victim will have minimal or inconclusive evidence of physical trauma. The people she encounters are likely to be accusatory and express doubts about her efforts to resist.
- Her fear continues--the offender usually learned a great deal about her, such as where she lives and with whom, and he may threaten to come back.
- Her sense of helplessness is overwhelming. She has been totally controlled by another. She desperately needs to regain control and make decisions.
- Her guilt may be especially strong, because during the assault her primary goal may have been to resist the rape or to escape from the perpetrator--in this, she may feel that she has failed, that she should have done more.
Sadistic Rape
In sadistic rape, there is a sexual transformation of anger and power so that aggression, itself, becomes eroticized. The sadistic rapist finds intentional maltreatment of his victim sexually gratifying. He will take pleasure in her torment, anguish, and distress. Fortunately, this type of rape accounts for only about five (5%) nationally.
Sadistic rape usually involves bondage and torture. It may take on a bizarre or ritualistic quality. The rapist will subject his victim to indignities such as urinating on her or ejaculating in her face. Her injuries will be focused on sexual areas of her body; there may be mutilation of these areas. The sadistic rapist may penetrate her with some type of instrument or a foreign object.
Prostitutes are often targets of the sadistic rapist, along with other women who are perceived by the perpetrator as "promiscuous". The sadistic rapists' assaults are deliberate, calculated, and pre-planned. The offender will often wear a disguise, or will blindfold his victim.
- The victim of a sadistic rapist may not survive the attack. For some offenders, the ultimate satisfaction is gained from murdering the victim. These assaults have a high incidence of physical injuries.
- If the victim survives, she will usually need extended psychological care. She may suffer from severe depression, and her risk of suicide is high. She may display other compulsive behaviors.

Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid
Heading South
Many researchers believe that regardless of his perceived rejection by the Union Pacific Railroad of his offer to retire, Butch had decided to leave the area where he had reigned as a supreme outlaw. The lawmen were getting closer with each heist, and Butch decided to pull a couple of jobs to collect enough money to live on comfortably for the rest of his life — and then to get out of the robbery business.
With this in mind, Butch and Sundance and one other man traveled to Winnemucca, Nevada, on September 19, 1900, and relieved the First National Bank of $32,640. Around noon, three unmasked and armed men entered the bank and ordered a cashier to open the safe. The cashier attempted to stall by saying that the time lock on the safe wouldn't allow it to be opened, but changed his mind after one of the thieves threatened to cut his throat if he didn't hurry.
This successful heist was followed up in July of 1901 with a $65,000 train robbery near Wagner, Montana. Five bandits stopped the train and told the engineer to separate the car containing the safes from the rest of the train and ordered everybody to remain onboard. Two of the train employees, however, left the train to put out cautionary signals, believing that other trains not knowing that their train had stopped might crash into them. The bandits weren't expecting anyone to come off of the train, and fired at the men — wounding one and killing another. The outlaws quickly dynamited the safe open, gathered the money, and then made for their horses.
Following the Wagner heist, Butch, Sundance, and Sundance's common-law wife Ethel "Etta" Place (a young lady whose early life is an undocumented blank before she joined Sundance) went east, possibly visited some of Etta and Sundance's family, and spent some time (and a bit of money) in New York City. The trio departed New York on a ship bound for Buenos Aires on February 20, 1902.
In South America, the threesome assumed aliases and bought a ranch, living in peace for several years before they gave up ranching and went back into crime. The reason for the return to their outlaw lives is a matter of conjecture: they may have feared being taken back to America and needed an influx of money for an escape, or they may have just become bored with their life on the ranch. For whatever reason, they went back into robbery and were joined by an enthusiastic Etta, who often took to dressing as a man and helping during heists. A Buenos Aires newspaper would describe this new addition to Butch's gang as "an interesting woman...who wears male clothing with total correctness (and) a fine rider (and) handles...all classes of firearms...."
In February of 1905, a group of men rode into Rio Gallegos, Argentina, and told residents that they were interested in buying land for raising livestock. After spending some time in the town setting up this façade, the men entered the bank on February 13th and robbed it of $100,000. A posse chased after them but only found the abandoned horses and an empty box the bank had used to store its silver. Most scholars agree that Butch and Sundance did the actual robbing — while Etta, a third "man," waited outside and kept the escape horses ready to go.
In a similar heist in December of that year, four men robbed a bank at Villa Mercedes of about 13,000 pesos. This time the outlaws encountered more difficulties than they had previously. One of the bank employees managed to get to a gun and fired at the bandits, but missed them entirely. A man across the street from the bank ran over when he heard the shots, was held captive by the thieves, managed to escape and return to his office, and later fired at the escaping outlaws — but also missed hitting any of them.
After the Villa Mercedes robbery, Butch's trail goes quiet, and it is unclear how the trio occupied their time or exactly where they went. Etta apparently left at some point after the Villa Mercedes robbery — some claim she became ill and returned to America for treatment — but it is clear that she was not present for the puzzling "final chapter" of Butch Cassidy's life.

New England Patriots
Aaron Hernandez - #81 - TE
|6' 1"/ 245 lbs.
|Bristol, CT
|Years played
|2010, 4th round, 15th pick by Patriots
Patriots sign veteran DE Anderson
The Patriots announced the signing of veteran DE Mark Anderson on Friday.
Patriots agree to terms with OT Solder
OT Nate Solder is the 31st first-round pick to sign his contract, as he agreed to terms with the Patriots on Thursday.
The Patriots' fantasy dilemma
It's usually a good idea to avoid Patriots not named Tom Brady early on in fantasy drafts, but if 2011 is anything like 2010, there are a handful of safe bets from New England for your team.
Improving the Patriots' third-down defense
Heading into 2011, with such a high-octane offense, an improved third-down defense could greatly increase the Patriots' chances at getting back to the Super Bowl.
Spikes needs to put end of 2010 season behind him
After a solid start to his rookie season, Patriots ILB Brandon Spikes got suspended and did little in the team's playoff loss. He needs to return to the form he flashed at times in 2010.
Eagles sign FS Page, DT Hargrove
Former Patriots FS Jarrad Page and ex-Saints DT Anthony Hargrove are the latest veteran free agents to join the Eagles.
'Law Firm' returns to Patriots
RB BenJarvus Green-Ellis, who went from unknown backup to starting running back last season, re-signed with the Patriots on Wednesday.
Report says Eagles called Moss after he retired
PFW Patriots correspondent Ian Rapoport of the Boston Herald says that the Eagles contacted WR Randy Moss after he had filed his retirement papers with the league
The Patriots' new RB carousel
Bill Belichick will potentially have five running backs to choose from each week to plug into his offense in 2011.
Rotating zones gathered no Moss
Tom Danyluk says that Randy Moss was one of the NFL's strangest cases, a wildly talented player who freely roamed the label range from magician to dog over his career.
Five key questions facing the Patriots
PFW's Patriots reporter Kevin Fishbain asks and answers five key questions facing the Patriots as they head into the 2011 season.
Patriots fantasy focus
Here's a player-by-player look at the Patriots from a fantasy perspective heading into 2011.
Pats sign second-rounders Dowling, Vereen
The Patriots signed second-round picks CB Ras-I Dowling and RB Shane Vereen on Tuesday.
Moss' career arc, legacy unique
Randy Moss' career didn't lack for brilliant moments, but controversy followed him at times.
Report: Randy Moss will retire
WR Randy Moss will retire, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Monday.
Hernandez hauled in eight receptions for 58 yards and two touchdowns in Monday night's 42-14 rout of Houston.||||||| Hernandez's eight catches matched a season high set the previous week against Miami. While he's greatly benefited from Rob Gronkowski's absence, Hernandez should continue to see plenty of balls thrown his way even when Gronkowski returns.
Hernandez is active for the Patriots' game against the New York Jets.||||||| Hernandez missed the last three because of a sprained right ankle.
Hernandez is missing his sixth game on Sunday, and third straight, with an injured right ankle.||||||| The Pats likely won't skip a beat with Rob Gronkowski and Wes Welker still on the field, but Hernandez's injury is becoming more concerning as the season moves on.
Although he was held out of practice Thursday, Hernandez says his ankle is healed after missing nearly four full games with a sprain.||||||| Hernandez caught six passes for 30 yards and a touchdown in the Patriots' 24-23 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday. He should be good to go moving forward.
New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick says he doesn't know how long tight end Aaron Hernandez will be sidelined with a right ankle injury. Asked Monday if Hernandez broke any bones, Belichick said, "I don't really have any update on his status. I think they're still looking at him."||||||| ESPN.com reported that Hernandez would not play Sunday night at the Baltimore Ravens and that, while there is no exact timetable, he likely will not return until October at the earliest. Hernandez was injured in the first quarter of Sunday's 20-18 loss to the Arizona Cardinals while blocking for Julian Edelman, who had just caught a pass. As he was being tackled, Edelman fell on Hernandez's right leg. Hernandez left Gillette Stadium with crutches and a walking boot.

Now that we have had about 24 hours to digest what happened at SummerSlam, it is time to focus on what will happen tonight (Aug. 15) on RAW.
The biggest news is that Alberto Del Rio has finally fulfilled his destiny and become the WWE Champion. We will no doubt hear from him. As far as hearing from CM Punk, while I'm hopeful we do, it's entirely possible that we may not. This may be a good chance for him to take some time off and come back strong. Maybe he "regroups," as in, forms a new faction with Colt Cabana.
I think a big part of Raw will be John Cena complaining about losing his belt. (I know, its a title, but when you never beat the Champion it's just a belt.) Cena didn't lose cleanly, so he'll probably push the story that he should still be champ.
The reason that is garbage is Kevin Nash. He would have done the same to Cena as he did to Punk. I think "Big Sexy" will be there and I am sure his presence will be felt.
In all I am expecting a big Raw. I hope they start to build up the under card, while keeping the main card strong. Join me tonight as I live blog Raw. The more comments we get the better. I read the comments during the commercials so keep them coming.They start Raw off with a recap of last night and then a new video package with the intro music. Welcome to Monday Night Raw.
Triple H is coming to the ring to give us his spin on what happened last night. He is apologizing for counting Cena out when his foot was on the rope. He assures us that he had nothing to do with what happened. But as for Del Rio, that is how Money in the Bank works. Del Rio is the new champion and he is coming to the ring now. He fulfilled his destiny, now he just wants to be everyone's champion. He will be in the lobby tonight taking pictures and signing autographs with the fans and their kids. Tonight, he will also face Rey Mysterio for his very first title defense. "We all love Rey Mysterio," he says. He is a Mexican Icon. The crowd then chants 619. He shut them up with "I love Rey Mysterio. I love beating Rey Mysterio." That is what he is going to do tonight.
Before they go to break, Triple H is shown going into John Cena's locker room. I guess he is going to apologize off camera.
R Truth vs John Morrison Falls Count Any Where
R-Truth comes to the ring with ring music for a change. Morrison says he will take Truths down on his terms tonight. They are out of the ring now and I guess this is supposed to be Morrison best strategy. Morrison is in full control right now, until Truth reverses into a face plant. Coming back from break, Truth has gained control of the match. He is throwing Morrison all over the place in the crowd. But he gets caught paying too much attention to the fans. Morrison takes advantage of a chair and wins. Winner: John Morrison
They show CM Punk backstage, I am sure he will have something to say about last night.
The Miz is coming to the ring, and I gotta say that's a nice suit. He says hi to Jarred from Subway, (he is holding a sub it must be old by now). He takes the sub from Jarred and a Subway pitch. He also promises to be the Champion again. I guess the sub isn't too old, The Miz is eating it now.
A limo pulls up and out comes Kevin Nash. All of the players are here now. Time for business to pick up.
Kelly Kelly and Eve vs. The Bella Twins
I like the Bella Twins, I like their attitude. This is the second week in a row the Diva match is going for more than 90 seconds. Wow Kelly Kelly is flexible! Eve is in now and she is in control. She hits a moonsault for the win. Winner: Eve and Kelly Kelly
Beth Phoenix and Natalia come out to "applaud" them on their victory.
Kevin Nash is coming to the ring now so he can explain what has happened. He first thanks Triple H for letting him come explain himself. Someone sent him a text and told him to stick whoever win. He thought it was Triple H, but Triple H says it wasn't him. Out comes CM Punk, he looks very agitated. He is none too happy about this. He isn't angry with Del Rio. Punk did and so he would expect nothing less from Alberto. Kevin Nash and Punk get into it and as Punk goes to fight Nash, security blocks Punks way. If seems Triple h is protecting Nash. I wonder where this is all going?
Kevin Nash wants to talk to Triple H, but John Laurinaitis comes in and want to talk to Nash in his office about something.
Alex Riley vs Jack Swagger
Dolph Ziggler and Vickie are at the announce booth and they are bickering. Dolph is telling the truth. The announce booth is breaking down and Dolph and Vickie will break up soon. JR is way outnumbered and no one wants to help him also call the match. Vickie Distracts the ref and causes Swagger to get the win. Winner: Jack Swagger
Dolph stomps on JR's hat and that is messed up. That is a good hat. Let him stomp on my fedora...
Jack is making the moves on Vickie and he wants to be one if her clients.
Punk goes in to talk to Triple H but Stephanie is in there instead. She tells him that people get what they deserve.
Kofi Kingston and Evan Bourne vs David Otunga and Michael McGillicutty
Good team work from both teams so far. I am enjoying this tag match. Winners: Kofi and Bourne
Kofi and Bourne can be a good tag team. They are lobbying for a title shot. This is how you rebuild the tag team division.
Alberto Del Rio vs Rey Mysterio WWE Championship I think Del Rio is the guy with the style to re-design the WWE Belt. Maybe they should let me design it. I'd go with the old school belt with the eagle. The bell rings and this match is underway. After a short period of them getting warmed up Rey goes for a 619 but Del Rio escapes and they go to commercial. Coming back from break, Del Rio is trying to rip Rey's mask off and he has it half way off. Rey fights him off and then lands one heck of a ddt on Del Rio. Every chance Del Rio Gets, he tried to get at that mask of Mysterio. Wow what a match it has to end soon. Del Rio just went for is Cross Arm Bar and Mysterio reversed it into a small package. There goes the 619! And Splash! No, Del Rio got his knees up. Roll up pin. Winner: Alberto Del Rio
Now Del Rio is attacking Rey and trying to break Rey's arm. Cena comes running to the ring beats Del Rio till he leaves the ring. Cena has a mic. He is pissed at Del Rio for cashing in his contract. Cena is out of line as far as I am concerned. Anyone that had that contract would be stupid not to cash it in.
That is our Raw for tonight, Cagesiders. Thanks for hanging with us.

Jackson area Catholics mark the end of The Year of the Eucharist in downtown Jackson on Sunday afternoon.
The procession is part of the Holy Communion celebration for the church.
Nearly 500 people from parishes in the Catholic Diocese of Jackson attended.
Alter stops were set up on Capitol, Congress, and Amite Streets during the procession.
The event wrapped up at St. Peter's Cathedral.
One church leader says the public display of faith is needed in today's society.
"I'd say the last 50 or 60 years that we've sort of gotten away from those things, and I think it's important for us to do that. I think we are criticized a lot for what people think we think in faith, and I think this is a visible expression of what we believe," says Bishop Joseph Latino.
Some members also say this event shows unity within the church.
