"Martin Luther, Troubled Prophet," with Q&A
On September 9, Rev. Dr. Carl Trueman delivered a lecture at Westminster on the life of Martin Luther entitled "Martin Luther, Troubled Prophet." Dr. Trueman also has a one-week, ThM/PhD course entitled "The Thought and Life and Martin Luther" available at wts.edu/modularthm, and a forthcoming book in February 2015 from Crossway on Luther and the Christian life.
Oliphint shares about the impact of his ThM courses on his own pastoral ministry
After earning my initial Masters degree from Westminster, I wanted to dig more deeply into apologetics, to think in a more focused way about a biblical and Reformed defense of Christianity. There was no Ph.D. in apologetics available to me, so I entered and completed the Th.M. in apologetics.
Audio and Video
On October 21 and 22, Westminster held its annual Preaching Conference. This year's plenary speaker was Dr. R. Kent Hughes, senior pastor emeritus of College Church in Wheaton, IL. Dr. Hughes spoke on the subject of the "Essentials of Biblical Exposition." Also joining him for a panel discussion was the Mortification of Spin team.

Yeah, there is our girl. Too bad that the earliest we will see her again will be next Sunday, and maybe not even then.
Luann, Quill is not around. Let me suggest you get with Gunther and experiment. He would be a willing participant.
what, you don't think she should practice on the frog? there's princes in those things
For Bernice, dissecting a frog would be a useful life skill. She wants to be a veterinarian. She needs to be ready in case Kermit ever comes in as a patient.
It has been so long ago that it is in the category of ancient history, but as I recall, I was a junior when I had to rip a frog apart. Maybe our two lady friends are also.
What's funny is that I never actually dissected a frog. Cut off the heads of some fish to send to the lab (by FedX so the DNA wouldn't get screwed up by the X-rays), but never had to use any of those particular "skills" taught in bio… Lots of photos, lots of legal descriptions of specimens, even some drawings.
Well, Levi, it seems Evans has taken pity on you, and granted thy fervent prayer.
Perhaps you should stop pestering the poor guy now.
That's it? You finally see your girl and still you complain? Go soak your head.
Dissected the frog and several other things in my junior year. Sure helped out in my field of communications technology and industrial electronics, indispensable in getting my FCC ticket…
In high school, they give you pickled frogs to dissect. In college bio, they give you live frogs and make you pith them. Guess how many frogs I've pithed in the last 40 years. Pith on it.
A Sunday one shot is hardly a story line during the week now is it? I like Bernice too but she just can't carry the story it seems from Greg's point-of-view.
We disected worms in high school. Disecting anything is sick.
Those questions should be addressed in Health class.
There is a certain irony in dissecting this strip and sorting out its components. For reasons way too complicated to explain here, I didn't take biology in high school: so I dissected a frog as a freshman in college. As I recall, we enjoyed our water pistol fights with the professor (who wrote the then-widely used textbook).
I dissected a rat in high school. Suffice it to say, I don't know why any female rat would ever bother to be impregnated.

The present invention relates generally to blade vibration monitoring and, more particularly, to blade vibration monitoring of a shrouded turbine blade vibrating in a torsional manner.
Turbo-machinery engines, such as combustion turbine engines, contain rotating blades in a compressor section and rotating blades in a turbine section. The blades are generally arranged circumferentially in rows with each row being comprised of a plurality of blades. Typical geometries include free standing blades (i.e. blades that do not contact adjacent blades) or shrouded blades (i.e. blades that do contact adjacent blades).
During normal engine operation, the rotating blades are exposed to excitation due to dynamic conditions in the engine such as flow induced vibration and nozzle effects. These dynamic conditions can lead to blade vibration, which is an appreciable cause of excitation failure in turbo-machinery.
A known means to avoid excitation failure is by monitoring operating blade vibration using a combination of strain gauges, non-contact capacitance probes, magnetic, or optical probes to measure the vibration. However, such monitoring and evaluation is both costly and time inefficient.
Another known method involves a target on top of a blade shroud. However, these painted targets are problematic because they cannot detect motion in all directions. More specifically, blade tip motion torsional to the detecting edges of the target cannot be discerned.
Although several techniques exist for vibration measurements of rotating bladed-disk assemblies, no technique provides a suitable description of the dynamic behaviour. Therefore, there exists a need in the field of technology of turbo-machinery for a method and device that can accurately, easily, and/or efficiently measure and monitor rotating blade torsional vibration.
The present invention provides a blade row adapted to monitor rotating blade torsional vibration, comprising a blade; a target with a first indicating edge and a second indicating edge, the first and second indicating edges being parallel and arranged on top of the blade; a receiving device adapted to receive data about the target; and a processor that interprets the received data or information from the receiving device.
The present invention also provides a blade adapted for measuring blade vibration, comprising a root portion; a platform portion; an airfoil portion; and a target with a first indicating edge and a second indicating edge, the first indicating edge and the second indicating edge being parallel.
Furthermore, the present invention provides a method for monitoring vibration of a blade, comprising connecting a target to a blade tip; passing the target through a first transmission signal field of a transmission device at a first moment in time; reflecting the transmission signal from the target to a receiver at a second moment in time; and processing the first and second received signals.
The above mentioned and other concepts of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings of the exemplary and preferred embodiments of the present invention. The illustrated embodiments are intended to illustrate, but not to limit the invention. The drawings contain the following figures, in which like numbers refer to like parts throughout the description and drawings and wherein:
The monitoring system 10 described herein employs some basic concepts. For example, one concept relates to a monitoring system 10 that measures the frequency and amplitude of turbine blade 17 torsional vibration, and monitors the torsional vibration of the turbine blade 17. Another concept relates to a turbine blade 17 adapted for used with the monitoring system 10. Yet another concept relates to the processing of turbine blade 17 vibration signal information into usable computer output 60.
The present invention is disclosed in context of use as a monitoring system 10 within a combustion turbine engine for monitoring a torsional mode of vibration of rotating turbine blades 17. The principles of the present invention, however, are not limited to use within combustion turbine engines or to monitor torsional vibration of rotating turbine components. For example, the monitoring system 10 can be used in other operational monitoring environments to measure blade turbine 17 vibration, such as steam turbines, aero-thermal aircraft engines, electric generators, air or gas compressors, auxiliary power plants, fans, and the like. Also, while the system 10 is described in context of use as a monitoring system 10 it is not limited to use as a monitoring system 10. For example, it can be used to obtain frequency and amplitude of blade 17 torsional vibration for verification of analytic models and analysis of the turbine blades 17. One skilled in the art may find additional applications for the apparatus, processes, systems, components, configurations, methods and applications disclosed herein. Thus, the illustration and description of the present invention in context of an exemplary combustion turbine engine for monitoring the torsional mode of vibration of rotating turbine or compressor components is merely one possible application of the present invention. However, the present invention has particular applicability for use as a monitoring system 10 for monitoring torsional vibration of turbine components.
To assist in the description of the claimed invention and its operation, the following coordinate system is introduced and illustrated in

As shown in
Referring back to
In addition to the active transmitters described above, a transmitter free passive infrared (IR) system that functions only as a receiver can also be employed to detect a change in the emission of thermal IR radiation as the probe focal point (detection spot) passed over the shroud 14 or target 22 surface. A target 22 used with a passive receiver is generally designed to emit less IR because the target is constructed from a material having a low emissitivity.
The illustrated transmitter 16 is embodied as an external laser 16 and produces a light beam 22 of a suitable wavelength, preferably in the infrared band and at a power level of a few hundreds of milliwatts to produce a relatively small and intense spot on the shroud. A suitable laser 16 is commercially available from the Agilis company, located in West Palm, Fla. as part number PC28-13G. However, as will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, other suitable transmitters 16 can be used.
If a laser 16 is used as the transmitter, the laser 16 advantageously generates and projects a light beam 20 toward the blade shroud 14 or blade tip 28 if used with a free standing blade 29. The laser 16 may generate and emit the light beam 20 continually, randomly, intermittently, graduated, or otherwise, although continuous emission is preferred for a more robust monitoring of the turbine blades 17. A light beam 20 with a smaller diameter is preferred because it 20 responds most quickly to the arrival of the first indicating edge (e.g. arriving edge) 34 (see
The receiver 50 receives the reflected field 20′ and converts the reflected field 20′ to a useable electrical signal and is sent to the processor 18 (see
As shown in
The target 22 is preferably square, more preferably rectangular or parallelogram, in shape and is a closed geometry since rectangles or parallelograms have the minimum number of edges that can be geometrically configured with at least two parallel edges 34, 38. Reducing the number of edges minimizes the processing of extraneous information since only parallel edge 34, 38 data needs to be collected in order to determine the blade 17 vibration. However, there is no requirement that the target 22 be rectangular in shape and
The target 22 advantageously reflects the transmitted field 20 toward the receiver 50. If the transmitter 16 is a laser 16, the target can be made of a reflective paint, tape, plate, ceramic, and the like. If the transmitting device 16 is a magnetic transmitter 16, the target 22 can be made of a ferrous material capable of reflecting the magnetic field 20′ toward the receiver 50 or otherwise altering 20′. If a microwave transmitter is used, the target 22 can be a slot in the shroud 14 or made of a material that reflects the microwave field 20 toward the receiver 50, reduces such reflection, or changes the phase of the reflected field 20′. Referring to
Referring again to

Referring again to
In the illustrated embodiment, the target 22 is oriented on the shroud 14 of a blade 17 with the parallel edges 34, 38 of the rectangle oriented at an angle 31 with respect to the X-X axis 44. The basis of the measurement of the frequency and amplitude of blade vibration is determined from the difference in line length L1 36 of the non displaced shroud 14 as compared to the displaced line length L2 36′ that results from the displaced target 22′ on the displaced shroud 14′ and compared to the displaced line length L3 36″ that results from the displaced target 22″ on the displaced shroud 14″ and is discussed in more detail below. The target 22 has a first indicating edge 34 and a second indicating edge 38. As also indicated, the first indicating edge 34 and the second indicating edge 38 are parallel. The first indicating edge 34 and the second indicating edge 38 are identified by the direction of rotation 85 of the turbine shaft 70.
The target 22 is operatively connected with the blade 17. For example, the target 22 can be mounted on the shroud 14 or blade tip 28, painted the shroud 14 or blade tip 28, in contact with the blade 17, or attached to the blade 17. The means of connecting the target 22 with the blade 17 is in part a function of the field type generated by the transmitter 22. For example, if the transmitter 16 is a laser 16, the target 22 would be painted, sprayed, or mounted on the shroud 14 or blade tip 28. Alternatively, if a magnet 16 or microwave 16 is used as the transmitter, the shroud 14 would be advantageously adapted to reflect or otherwise alter, the field 20′ by placing a slot or other suitable depression in the body of the shroud 14. The depression in the shroud 14 is necessary because of the nature of the field 20 generated by a magnetic transmitter 16 and a microwave transmitter 16. The depression or slot will closely match the exterior dimension and contour of the shroud 14 and can be formed into the shroud 14 in the shape of the target 22. If the blade 17 is produced from a nonferrous material, such as titanium, and the transmitter 16 is a magnet 16, then a target 22 capable of reflecting, or otherwise altering, the magnetic field 20′ may be inserted in the shroud 14 depression. Moreover, the target 22 can be directly connected to the blade 17 or indirectly connected to the blade 17 via an interconnection. Suitable direct connections include, but are not limited to, adhesives, bolts, weldments, slots, placed in a hole drilled near the surface of the shroud, combinations thereof, and the like. Suitable interconnections include, but are not limited to a connective layer, an insulating layer, a damper, combinations thereof, and the like. However, as one skilled in the art will appreciate, the direct and indirect connections can be achieved in other ways to operatively associate the target 22 with the blade 17.
In operation, as illustrated, after the monitoring system 10 is initiated, the laser 16 generates the light beam 20 that is transmitted toward the blade shroud 14. The transmitted light beam 20 creates a light spot on the shroud 14 that sweeps out a line 24 due to the rotation of the blades. The light spot functions as an indicator of the arrival and departure of the target 22. As the turbine blade 17 rotates in the Z-Z direction 48, the target 22 passes through the light beam 20 field and reflects at least a portion of the light beam field 20′ back towards the receiver 50. The receiver 50 converts the reflected light beam 20′ to a signal that is sent, by a suitable means such as telemetry, optical fiber, or wire, to the processor 18. The receiver 50 detects the reflected light beam 20′ beginning when the first indicating edge 38′ of the target 22 enters the field 20 until the second indicating edge 32′ of the target 22 exits the field 20.
If the blade 17 is undergoing torsional vibration, this will cause the shroud 14 to be located at a different angular positions 32′, 32″ with respect to Y-Y axis 46 for each revolution of the rotor 70. This is illustrated in
The processor 18 then interprets the time sequences from the reflected light beam 20′ accurately measured over an extended number of revolutions of the shaft 70. The processor 18 can convert time differences into angular displacements given the frequency of a suitable high frequency clock, preferably greater than 100 MHz, the rotation speed of the shaft 70, and the angle 31 and length 36. The processor 18 computes the frequency, amplitude, and phase of torsional vibration of the rotating blade 17 from the sequence of time signals sent from the receiver 50 as described above. For example, an increase or decrease in the signal duration of the reflected light beam 20′ enables rotation measurements about the Y-Y direction 46. Thus, the change in signal duration of the reflected light beam 20′ and time of arrival of edge 34 compared to a time of arrival of edge 34 on a subsequent rotor revolution can be converted to a monitoring signal 60 on a visual display monitor 40. The measured Y-Y axis 46 rotations can be analyzed to produce a plot of the blade's torsional motion. A Fourier, or other suitable analysis of this signal provides the amplitude, frequency and phase of the vibration of blade 17 and all other blades in the row. Data can be interpreted and stored by the processor 18 in real time (i.e. instantaneously) or non real time (i.e. any time period greater than real time).
The processor 18 the outputs the calculations output in a form that suitably displays the processed information. A graphical output 40 advantageously allows the data 60 to be displayed in a user friendly fashion, such as a graph. Alternatively, the data 60 could be stored separately and used with a suitable program or database and analyzed at a later date. Lastly, the data 60 could be used and compared to other data 60 for the purpose of determining trends in the systems being monitored.
Although the illustrated embodiment shows the target 22 placed on each shroud 14 segment, the target 22 need not be placed on the shroud 14 of each blade 17 in the blade row 13. Rather, multiple blades 17 in the blade row 90 may be have a single target 22. However, because of geometric variances of the blades 17, placing a target 22 on the shroud 14 of each blade 17 in the blade row 90 will provide more accurate results. Additionally, the shrouded blade 17 permits placement of a larger target 22 improving the ability to more accurately measure blade tip 28 motion.
While the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described herein, it will be obvious that such embodiments are provided by way of example only. Numerous variations, changes and substitutions will occur to those of skill in the art without departing from the invention herein. Also, one or more aspects or features of one or more embodiments or examples of the present invention may be used or combined with one or more other embodiments or examples of the present invention. Accordingly, it is intended that the invention be limited only by the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

Obama: A Man at Home in the World
He was just a college kid, vagabonding around the world. But Barack Obama says the weeks he spent traveling through Pakistan in 1981 shaped the views that he still holds today—and that he would bring into the White House. Obama remembers most vividly the desperation and hopelessness—"essentially a feudal life"—he witnessed in the countryside surrounding Karachi, a city that is today a hotbed of jihadist activity. At the tender age of 20, Obama suggested, he was already beginning to understand more about what ailed Muslim societies—what generated terrorism and fratricidal conflicts—than George W. Bush or John McCain do today. "Both as a consequence of living in Indonesia and traveling in Pakistan, having friends in college who were Muslim, I was very clear about the history of Shia-Sunni antagonism"—which is one reason why, as an Illinois state senator 21 years later, he opposed the war in Iraq, Obama told NEWSWEEK last week. "This notion that somehow we were going to be able to create a functioning democracy and reconcile century-old conflicts, I always thought was a bunch of happy talk from this administration."

Area Restaurants Donate to Keep the Heat On
PLYMOUTH — Every year, the committee for the annual Keep the Heat On (KTHO) fundraiser is overwhelmed by the generosity of local restaurants' menu contributions, and this year is no different.
As preparations move forward for the 9th annual KTHO dinner on Wednesday, January 15, owners and chefs are again stepping up to offer their delicious creations to make this event special, and to help their local community. Over the past 8 years, the annual KTHO event has raised $200,000 for fuel assistance to 15 local communities and hopes to go over the $240,000 mark this year.
Plymouth's Main Street will again be represented by an all-star lineup that includes Biederman's Deli, Burrito Me, Café Monte Alto, Chase Street Market, the Lucky Dog, Main Street Station, Mandarin Taste, Manny's Downtown Pizza, Six Burner Bistro, and Thai Smile.
Other area restaurants joining the effort again include the Country Cow, Fugaki, Mad River Tavern, Tony's Italian Grill, the Sunset Grill, and Walter's Basin. Joining KTHO for the first time are the well-known Coyote Grill in Waterville Valley and Remington's, open since last summer and already a landmark on the Plymouth - Rumney line on Route 25.
This memorable evening will take place at Plymouth State University's Prospect Hall for the first time this year, and the KTHO Decorating Committee is already hard at work planning the décor to set the mood.
The January 15 event opens with for tasty appetizers at the 5 p.m. "Social Hour," followed by a Silent Auction with many high-quality contributed items and services, as well as the popular "Energy Room" featuring displays, discussions, and information about alternative energy. This will be followed by the bountiful dinner buffet and a spirited Live Auction with auctioneer Lisa Lovett.
Tickets for the 9th annual KTHO Dinner Auction are $35 each, and are on sale only at Chase Street Market, in limited numbers again this year. Keep the Heat On is organized and sponsored by the Plymouth Area Democrats (PAD) partnered with PACC in their continued mission to provide assistance to our neighbors.

Students from Seattle Pacific University gather outside in a spontaneous prayer circle after a church service was full, following a shooting on the campus of the university Thursday (AP).
You won't find the name of the man who sought to commit mass murder at Seattle Pacific University on Thursday afternoon on this website – we won't use it.
Instead, we will liberally use the name of the man who heroically stopped the Seattle Pacific University shooter using a combination of courage and pepper spray. His name is John Meis.
Jon Meis, according to published reports, is a senior engineering student at Seattle Pacific University from Renton. On Thursday afternoon, he was at work as a monitor inside Otto Miller Hall when that killer stepped inside.
We don't know what Jon Meis did when the killer started shooting, but he was ready for action, as he always is. Ryan Salgado, Meis' roommate at SPU, told the Seattle Times that Meis always carries pepper spray because he "likes to be prepared wherever he goes."
When the shooter went to reload his weapon, Meis hit the killer with pepper spray, subduing him, and likely preventing the deaths of many other students.
Tragically, the gunman was able to fire a few shots, killing one student, and injuring at least two others.
Salgado described Meis to the Times as a quiet, private individual who is deeply Christian and loves the outdoors. According to his Facebook page, he's also a fan of the NRA, and several gun makers like Mossberg.
"It doesn't surprise me that he would step in to do something like that," classmate Rebekah Ogimachi told the Times.
Hosts David Boze and Ben Shapiro praised Jon Meis. Unlike with other shootings, we have a hero to lift up rather than some demented killer.
"Heroism of individuals is what stops evil people from committing mass murder. No regulations can stop evil. Only good people can," Shapiro said.
The killers usually "become the remembered names," Boze said of mass shooters. According to reports, the Seattle Pacific University shooter was obsessed with recreating mass killings like Columbine.
"It's a lot harder to build something than it is to destroy something. It's the lazy individual's way to get famous," Boze continued. "If you want to go terrorize people, that's easy. If you want to save people, that's hard, and it requires a lot of discipline and skill.
"There are very few people who can rattle off the names of heroes, true heroes. And for some reason, evil people, in part because it's so unusual, people recognize them. But I would prefer if their names just faded away. And rather swiftly than slowly."
If the friends of Jon Meis are right, he may not want to be in the spotlight over this. But his fame might be a good trade for the alternative. All indications are that he was just doing his job, as a Christian and as a member of the SPU community.
"We are a community and we care for others," SPU President Daniel Martin said. "Those that were involved did just that."

One of the first things to come back with the cold weather is plaid. Plaid underwear is great for fall and several brands already got a jump on the pattern.
If you're looking for a totally awesome mashup of men's athletic underwear and incomparable style, Bjorn Borg underwear is the brand for you! Inspired by the success of the tennis player of the same name during the late 1970's, Bjorn Borg underwear has become one of the most popular men's designer and athletic underwear in Sweden, and across Europe and internationally as well.
The success of the Bjorn Borg underwear comes hand in hand with the fame of the brand's entire clothing line, though it's mostly men's athletic underwear that's "proving to be the star of the team." Bjorn Borg innovates with their underwear, and continues to push the envelope with new products that break away from traditional underwear design. Their designs boast vital improvements in support and comfortability with simple, clever changes, such as slightly more snug and stretchable fabrics, fly-free pouches and less obtrusive waistbands.
As athlete-oriented as the brand may be, Bjorn Borg's stylish designs and vibrant color palettes also make it a leader in men's designer underwear. The brand believes there's something to be said for underwear that can help you get the job done, but especially for underwear that can make you look good doing it! When it comes down to it, Bjorn Borg underwear rocks the men's fashion and underwear industry with the strength of the backhand swing of the tennis player, Bjorn Borg himself.

The hubbub came mainly from the album's "hidden track," where Axl Rose performed an acoustic version of Charles Manson's "Look At Your Game, Girl." Rose wasn't shy about his love for Manson, rocking shirts with the singers' face during the Use Your Illusion tour. The song…well, there's a reason it's hidden: It doesn't add to the album, and feels tacked on solely to gain attention.

Hopefully the ninety-degree weather is behind us; I welcome the crisp air of fall with open arms. But saying goodbye to the sweltering, hazy sky also means saying goodbye to the free outdoor music that WFPK's Waterfront Wednesdays bring to Louisville.
The last concert of the season will showcase The Seedy-Seeds, (approximately 6:00PM) an upbeat indie concoction of banjo/accordion/toy-keyboard beats. The Ike Reilly Assassination (approximately 7:30) will follow with bluesy, lyrical pop-songs and Irish-drinking jigs. Check out "Good Work (if you can get it)" on YouTube for a taste; I have a feeling this is the band to see on this last night of music on the river. The finale of the night will be begin at approximately 9:00 PM and feature Great Big Sea, a 17-year-old band that got its start playing Newfoundland folk songs.
As always, outside food and coolers are prohibited, so have an early dinner (the food vendors are mediocre) and bring a few bucks for a beer or two. Pack a blanket and cop a squat on the hill by kiddie-ville. Let the kids climb, swing, and twirl themselves silly on the playground while you listen to some better-than average, free music on hopefully a cool September evening. Say goodbye to summer or hello to fall with all the other music-loving parents in town.

I am just so thankful that everything went well and that we have a happy, healthy new baby. Plus it is a nice relief, not to be pregnant anymore!
I will update later on with the longer version of his birth story.
Now it's time to get some rest!

Alexa Bliss
Real Name
Alexis Kaufman
Date of Birth
August 9, 1991
Place of Birth
Since they are now one of the more entertaining acts in the industry, Miz and Damien Sandow are the favorites to win the WWE tag team championship at Survivor Series 2014. Cody Rhodes and Goldust have lost a good amount of momentum, mainly due to the creative department not putting much focus on them. The feeling is that Miz and Sandow can help bring some energy back into the tag team division.
November 23, 2014
WWE wants Roman Reigns to become their biggest star. However, he currently lacks the speaking skills that other top level performers usually have. To maximize his time during his injury recover, Reigns has been seeking the help of Howard Fine, a highly praised acting coach in Hollywood. The hope is that the former Shield member will be ready to carry the company after Wrestlemania 31, where he is expected to win the heavyweight championship.
November 7, 2014
After Monday Night Raw went off the air, WWE Network subscribers were treated to a bonus match. Alexander Rusev challenged Sheamus for the United States Heavyweight Championship, a match which was originally planned for Survivor Series 2014. The Russian heel ended up winning the title after Sheamus passed out from the Camel Clutch submission. No word yet on why WWE opted to do the match earlier than scheduled.
November 4, 2014
Initially, WWE felt that a match between John Cena and Randy Orton at Hell in a Cell 2014 was going to be able to sell itself. Management reportedly noticed the lack of interest and a good amount of complaint from fans, so they made the decision to change things up. The winner now gets a shot at the heavyweight championship, which should pique interest from more fans.
October 21, 2014
Since Nikki Bella and Cameron have confirmed it publicly, the widespread belief among fans is that the cast member of Total Divas are not allowed to hold a championship in WWE. Stephanie McMahon, however, is disputing that rumor. During a recent interview, she flat out denied it when asked about the rumor. McMahon stated that it would be great for one of the cast members to hold the belt because it would drive more attention to the story.
October 21, 2014
While Brock Lesnar is not defending the WWE Heavyweight Championship for the time being, that does not mean that he is simply just sitting around the house. In addition to working out on a daily basis, the former UFC Heavyweight Champion has been doing a lot of hunting up in Canada recently. No word yet on when his official return to WWE is, but many are expecting it to be in time for Royal Rumble 2015.
October 16, 2014
Back in June, Yoshi Tatsu was given his release from WWE, and many speculated that it would only be a matter of time before he headed back overseas. Earlier this week, he made his return to New Japan by attacking Jeff Jarrett and helped Hiroshi Tanahashi recapture the IWGP Heavyweight Championship from AJ Styles, whom Jarrett was trying to help illegally regain the belt.
October 15, 2014
Back in May, AJ Styles surprised the wrestling world by joining New Japan and winning the IWGP Heavyweight Championship. The move was done to help elevate the Bullet Club stable. The reign was ended this week when Hiroshi Tanahashi recaptured the title that was initially taken from him by Styles. Tanahashi and Kazuchika Okada will battle it out at the big annual January pay per view for the belt.
October 13, 2014
Since he made an appearance on Monday Night Raw and worked a segment with Alexander Rusev, speculation has run wild that the Rock will be wrestling a match at Wrestlemania 31. As of right now, that seems highly unlikely, as the former world heavyweight championship has signed on for several movies over the next year. The studios are also said to be against the idea of him risking injuries in a wrestling ring again.
October 9, 2014
With Brock Lesnar taking the WWE championship home with him during his typical break from the business, Paul Heyman has been left hanging. The massively popular manager has been omitted from a couple of episodes of Monday Night Raw, including the latest one. Management simply cannot find something for him to do while Lesnar is not on television.
October 7, 2014
Since walking out on WWE earlier in the year, CM Punk has not really been involved with professional wrestling. However, he decided to end the sabbatical recently, in order to support a very close friend. Cliff Compton, who formerly worked as Domino in WWE, was scheduled to win the OVW heavyweight championship, so Punk decided to attend the show backstage and support his buddy.
October 7, 2014
After winning his war against Mark Henry, Alexander Rusev was transitioned over into a feud with Big Show. The two of them are expected to finish off their program at Hell in a Cell 2014. Rusev is expected to come out on top and move further up the ladder. Reports have surfaced that WWE is going to pair him up with Sheamus and have him take the United States Heavyweight Championship off of him.
October 2, 2014
While the entire card is far from being finalized, TNA has revealed two matches that will definitely be taking place at the pay per view. In the first match, Samoa Joe, Low Ki and former WCW star Kaz Hayashi will be battling in a triple threat match for the X Division Championship. Seiya Sanada will be teaming with his new on screen mentor James Storm to take on his real life mentor Great Muta and Tajiri.
September 27, 2014
Vince McMahon reportedly has a rule about the cast of Total Divas. None of them are allowed to hold the championship while they are a part of that reality show. No word yet on why McMahon has that rule in place right now, but it is quite peculiar since WWE basically scripts a lot of their segments based on what is happening on Total Divas.
September 25, 2014
Those of you that watch Impact Wrestling already know that Samoa Joe did a segment where he gave up the TNA X Division Championship. That led to some speculations from fans as to whether or not it is a story line. Unfortunately, the injury is a legitimate one. Joe has been having some problems with his shoulders. He might still try to work through the pain and perform at Bound For Glory 2014, though.
September 25, 2014
On Night of Champions 2014, Cody Rhodes and Goldust defeated Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso for the WWE tag team championship. Rumors are floating around that management felt that the twins had grown stale because they ran out of teams to defend the titles again. Plus, Rhodes has really been getting into his Stardust character, so the front office wants to see if the gimmick can pick up further steam with a championship push.
September 22, 2014
If you watched WWE NXT Takeover last night, you know that Tyler Breeze failed to win the heavyweight championship. However, management might have something better for him. Reports have surfaced that Breeze is on the verge of being given a promotion to the main roster, where the cocky character will be joining the entourage of the Miz, which already features Damien Sandow.
September 12, 2014
When he was feuding with John Cena, Bray Wyatt appeared to be a lock to remain in the WWE main event scene for quite some time. When that feud ended, he was able to maintain some momentum when Chris Jericho made his return to the company and feuded with Wyatt. Since there is a lack of top level talent in WWE, there are now talks that management could have Wyatt feuding with Dolph Ziggler over the Intercontinental Championship, even though it seems out of the norm for his character to chase a secondary belt.
September 10, 2014
There has been a ton of speculations on the situation between Michael Elgin and ROH. The former heavyweight champion apparently is stuck in Canada and cannot return to the United States because of issues with his work visa. New reports have surfaced that ROH management places the blame squarely on Elgin for being unorganized. For those that do not know, he abruptly dropped the heavyweight championship under mysterious conditions.
September 10, 2014
Even though Brock Lesnar agreed to work more dates for the company, WWE still has reservations about having a part time world champion. Reports have surfaced that management is considering the possibility of having Seth Rollins cashing in on his Money in the Bank briefcase at Night of Champions. The move would require John Cena to regain the championship briefly.
September 6, 2014
A lot of eyes stay focused on the developmental program in WWE because that is usually where the next star will come from. The latest person to be viewed as the next one to be elevated to the main roster is Alexa Bliss. The diva has impressed management over the last couple of weeks, and some are even saying that she has moved past Ashley Flair in line. She is already ahead of Bayley and Sasha Banks at the moment.
October 29, 2014
"I cannot believe it. So shocked and saddened by the news of the Ultimate Warrior passing. Rest in peace. Prayers." - Alexa Bliss on the death of Ultimate Warrior
April 12, 2014
WWE generally likes to put everyone to good use at their television and pay per view events. Last night at Wrestlemania 30, during the big entrance for Triple H, WWE NXT divas Alexa Bliss, Sasha Banks, and Ashley Flair were used as background performers. The trio have been working in developmental for a bit of time now and are waiting for their chance to be called up to the main roster.

Did You See This? Michael Haneke's Star Wars 7
After months of discussion of who would direct Star Wars Episode 7, the 2013 César awards (which are sort of like the French Oscars) offered their own answer, with Michael Haneke (whose Amour dominated the awards) directing.
The notoriously chilly director, of course, turns the chapter into an unflinching parable about the misery of aging—no wonder Obi-Wan let Darth strike him down—and the sketch raises at least one question: Next year, can the Academy get whoever produced the César awards?

HoopsHype Andrea Bargnani rumors
"We just have to remain patient," coach Derek Fisher said. "It's been tough for him ever since he's been here." There is no timetable for Bargnani's return. New York Daily News
Scott Cacciola: Fisher on Bargnani, out with calf strain: "We have to remain patient... It's been tough for him ever since he's been here." Twitter @ScottCacciola
Al Iannazzone: No Bargnani tonight. Knicks say an MRI on his right calf revealed a strain. The injury occurred yesterday during practice. Twitter @Al_Iannazzone
The Knicks' 115-99 blowout loss to the Timberwolves on Wednesday night could be the last time they play without Andrea Bargnani and Jose Calderon. The Knicks are laying the groundwork not only for Bargani to make his season debut Saturday against the winless Sixers but also for Calderon to join him. There have been so many setbacks along the way, Knicks coach Derek Fisher is being cautious about penciling them in for Saturday. But it's in the designs. New York Post
Adam Zagoria: Andrea Bargnani says he's anxious to get back. Targeting Saturday vs. Sixers. #Knicks. Story coming. Twitter @AdamZagoria
There has been no thought of giving Bargnani a rehab game with their new D-League affiliate, the Westchester Knicks, who made their franchise debut Sunday in Oklahoma City. Bargnani lives only blocks from the Westchester County Center in White Plains. New York Post
Steve Popper: Knicks say Bargnani, Calderon and Stoudemire (recovery day) will not dress tonight versus @Utah Jazz" Twitter @StevePopper
Ian Begley: Fisher says Andrea Bargnani is "progressing well" but there is no specific date for his return. He has still been limited in practice. Twitter @IanBegley
The Knicks originally announced that Andrea Bargnani would miss the first three games of the season, but Derek Fisher said Sunday it will be more than that. Fisher said it's unlikely that Bargnani (strained right hamstring) will make his season debut this week. Next week seems more realistic. "Hopefully, it's soon,'' Fisher said. "That's the best answer. I think Andrea's progressing.'' Newsday
Knicks forward Andrea Bargnani will likely be out for at least another week as he deals with a right hamstring injury. Knicks coach Derek Fisher said Bargnani is "progressing" and he hopes to have him back "soon" but acknowledged that the Knicks' schedule will probably preclude Bargnani from returning before the ninth game of the season. "I don't think it's fair to put a player out there who hasn't really had an opportunity to practice and see how his body responds to the physical demands of playing the game," Fisher said Sunday before tipoff of the Knicks-Hornets game. "So there are really no practices this week and maybe next week ... it might be a better week to start to dial in when he might be back." ESPN.com
The earliest Bargnani can return is Nov. 12 against Orlando because he won't be able to participate in practice prior to that game. The Knicks have two sets of back-to-backs in the coming week, so Fisher said they will not practice. Bargnani's first opportunity to practice will be Nov. 11. ESPN.com
Michael Scotto: New York Knicks say Andrea Bargnani is OUT for tomorrow's game against the Chicago Bulls. Pablo Prigioni is listed as probable. Twitter @MikeAScotto
Marc Berman: Knicks saying Bargnani will be out for first three games at least. Pretty obvious at this point Twitter @NYPost_Berman
Ian Begley: #Knicks say Bargnani didn't practice so he's unlikely to play Friday. Calderon, Pablo (person reasons) & Stoudemire (recovery) also didn't. Twitter @IanBegley
When two reporters from Italy interviewed him after he spoke to the New York media for the first time since being shut down Oct. 9, he said in Italian he underwent an MRI exam, but didn't say what it revealed. That Bargnani had an MRI exam reveals the Knicks are surprised his injury hasn't healed yet. When he missed the Oct. 11 game at the Mohegan Sun, Knicks coach Derek Fisher indicated he could've played if it were the regular season. Speaking in the locker room before the Knicks' 103-100 win over the the Wizards at the Garden on Wednesday night, Bargnani said, "Injuries are always frustrating.'' New York Post
Ian Begley: Andrea Bargnani (hamstring) will not play Wednesday. He has missed the last 4 preseason games. Bargnani hasn't played in a game since Oct. 8. Fisher was non-committal when asked if he'd be ready for the season opener on Oct. 29. #Knicks Twitter @IanBegley

Nee Soon residents get N-95 masks
Published on Feb 23, 2014 7:49 PM
Ms Chua Ann Na, 68, and her husband were one of 40 families in Nee Soon to receive some 200 N95 masks given out by Member of Parliament Lee Bee Wah and her grassroots team yesterday.
Worries about an impending haze situation have emerged as the current dry spell exacerbates fires set to clear land for farming in Sumatra, Indonesia.
Two weeks ago, the number of hotspots surged to 458, although the National Environmental Agency assured Singaporeans that the possibility of haze in here was low as long as the prevailing wind is from the North-East.
But it is better to be safe than sorry, said residents.
