College Football's Top 10 Fails of 2012
December 3rd, 2012| by Lost Lettermen
10. 45-Yard Line Logo
[EDITOR'S NOTE: AdBlock must be disabled in order for the slideshow to function properly.]
The end of each college football season is a great excuse to look back on all its great memories and its great goofs. Since it's so much for fun to write about the latter (and because it's Lost Lettermen's forte), we count down the Top 10 Fails of the season based on comedic value.
D-II teams aren't prone to generating headlines. At the start of 2012, the University of Minnesota Crookston was no different. An accidental paint job on the school's home field changed that.
The Golden Eagles' had student volunteers paint the same "M" logo as its Twin Cities flagship school on the turf at Ed Widseth Field. Only they did so on the 45-yard line.
All was not lost for the Golden Eagles. The day that their field faux pas first received attention, they won their Homecoming Game and snapped a 39-game conference losing streak.
9. Nigel the Knucklehead
Kansas State CB Nigel Malone had a very strong senior season for a Fiesta Bowl-bound Wildcats team. Alas, his most memorable moment of 2012 was also his most embarrassing.
In the first quarter of KSU's regular season finale against Texas on Saturday, Malone stepped in front of a pass by Longhorns QB David Ash and looked poised to open the scoring with a pick six. But like the Eagles' Desean Jackson against the Cowboys in 2008, Malone made the mistake of discarding the football in celebration before he crossed the goal line.
Officials had initially signaled "touchdown" but correctly overturned the call upon reviewing the video evidence. Thankfully for Malone, K-State got the ball at Texas' half-yard line (the Longhorns had failed to recover the football after Malone discarded it) and scored on its next play.
8. Zebra Trap
Who knew that zebras were susceptible to being trapped in field goal nets?
No, not actual zebras. During the second quarter of the Nebraska–Ohio State game on Oct. 6, the field judge hustled dutifully down the sideline to keep up with Cornhuskers WR Kenny Bell on a 78-yard pass play. Failing to keep his head on a swivel, the official ran straight into a field goal practice net on the sideline.
The "zebra" nickname for officials never seemed more appropriate. The poor sideline judge looked like a recently ensnared animal on this play.
7. Zero Height Zordich
We give Penn State RB Michael Zordich partial credit for his confidence. Not many 236-pounders are under the impression that they can fly.
Which is what Zordich tried to do when he faced off against Temple DB Vaughn Carraway in the teams' Sept. 22 matchup. Zordich anticipated that the smaller Carraway would try to tackle him low, so he tried hurdling him. Only Carraway stood upright and flipped the leaping Zordich upside down and body slammed him to the turf.
The Penn State senior reached two high points that day. 1) His 75 rushing yards against the Owls were a season high; and 2) That attempted hurdle was likely his maximum vertical leap.
6. Yellow Jacket Stings Self
Football is a game premised on decisiveness. Hesitation is often punished or mocked. Both of which befell Georgia Tech RB Orwin Smith against Miami (FL) on Sept. 22.
The speedy senior was back to return a kickoff with his team trailing 10–0. Suffering an obvious brain cramp, you can almost see Smith going back and forth in his head whether to bring the ball out of the end zone. He finally decided to take a knee just short of the goal line.
One problem: The ball had already crossed the plane, and the play resulted in a safety. Thankfully, Smith would make up for it with a regular season that saw him emerge as the Yellow Jackets' leading rusher (673 yards) on a robust 9.0 YPC.
5. Putting the "F" in Face Painting
Let's face it. When you think of schools defined by an intellectually stimulating environment, Florida State is not the first place that comes to mind.
Which might explain one FSU fan's inability to understand the concept of a mirror and her subsequent face paint fail. "FSU" appeared on both her cheeks. Backwards. Painted so because it appeared correct in the mirror she no doubt was looking at.
At least, that's what he hoped happened. If the fan wasn't duped by a mirror, this mistake is even sadder.
4. Overly Wily Wildcats
We would have never pegged elderly Kansas State coach Bill Snyder as an "And One Mixtape" fan.
That's the best explanation we can think of for the attempted trick play the Wildcats ran against Miami (FL) on Sept. 8. With K-State up 24–3 just before halftime and on its way to a 52–13 rout, QB Collin Klein ran toward the line of scrimmage and pantomimed a Tebow-like jump pass, only to pitch the ball behind his back to a motioning Chris Harper.
Well, it's more like Klein tried pitching the ball to Harper. The ball bounded away, and when Harper wrapped it up, K-State had suffered a loss of 19 yards.
For a player considered the Heisman Trophy front-runner for much of the season, needless to say, this was not a "Heisman Moment."
3. Boomer Blooper
Few things went wrong for Oklahoma during its 63–21 demolition of Texas in the Oct. 13 edition of the Red River Shootout. But boy, did the Sooners make one of their goofs a memorable one.
After OU scored on its first drive of the game, PK Michael Hunnicutt and holder Tress Way set up shop at the Longhorns' 10-yard line for the PAT. Only Way couldn't corral the snap, resulting in Hunnicutt's goofily delayed kick to barely get airairborne be blocked easily by Texas.
Not only that, the blocked PAT was returned 88 yards by the Longhorns' Quandre Diggs, giving UT its first two points of the game. Thankfully for OU, it would prove to be UT's only points of the entire first half. And Hunnicutt would miss only one other PAT attempt the rest of the regular season.
2. Golden Flash of Un-Brilliance
Kent State's shocking run to an 11–2 record and wasn't without the moments of ineptitude that long defined the moribund Golden Flashes program. Take the team's first loss of the season, at Kentucky on Sept. 8, as an example.
Trailing 24–14 in the third quarter, the Golden Flashes were backed up at their own end zone and tried a running play. But after receiving the handoff from QB Keith Spencer, RB Dri Archer tripped over Spencer's left foot and fell into the end zone for a safety — despite being untouched by a UK player.
It was a rare lowlight for Archer on the season. The junior averaged nine yards per carry in rushing for 1,352 yards and 15 TDs.
1. Wrong Way Andre
Yup, Kent State can claim both the No. 2 and No. 1 fails of the 2012 season. No wonder its 11-2 season took everyone by surprise.
LB and special teamer Andre Parker was clearly excited for his team's season opener against Towson on Aug. 30. Alas, his football instincts hadn't yet rounded into game shape.
At the tail end of the first half, Towson muffed a Kent State punt that was recovered by Parker. The sophomore scooped it up and promptly started running toward his own end zone. 58 yards in all. Even worse? Instead of Towson letting him keep running, the Tigers' players inexplicably tackled Parker.
And here's the kicker: The play was dead as soon as Parker recovered the fumble, rendering his wrong way runback completely moot – to the relief of the linebacker.
Everything from the TV announcers' confusion over Parker's run ("Wait a minute … he's running the wrong way") to Parker's realization of his blooper for the ages at the 32-second mark is sports comedic gold – and a literal runaway choice for College Football's No. 1 Fail of the Year.

Las Vegas; May 9th 2005:
Opening Video
J.R and King welcome us to the show, and tell us tonights main event will be John Cena and Edge taking on Christian and Tyson Tomko. They also briefly mention Evolutions turn on Orton last week in the Blindfold match.
Evolution come to the ring, now just two members, Ric Flair and Batista. They talk about beating respect, and sense into Orton last week, but they will consider taking him back, is he comes out now and apologies for his actions. Orton then enters to a decent face pop. He apologises to Flair and Batista for not leaving Evolution sooner. They then engage in a war of words, and Orton says hes prepared to face both of them right now, as he has brought and equaliser a steel chair. He then makes his way to the ring, with the weapon, but Flair and Batista run out through the crowd away from Orton.
Carlito defeated Tommy Dreamer in a below average match, winning thanks to a distraction from Stacey, and then hit a Tornado DDT for the victory.
John Cena and Edge then meet backstage, and briefly talk about tonights tag match, before discussing a match just made by Mick Foley for next week, with Edge challenging Cena for the World Title. Cena wishes him good luck, whilst Edge then tells Cena he has no choice, and will take the championship from him.
In an interview with Carlito, he talks about his attack on Eugene last week, before being interrupted by Mick Foley. Foley tells Carlito that he should be ashamed of himself for his actions last week. Carlito then takes a bite of his apple, but Foley stops him before he can spit it, and tells him he better swallow it instead. Foley then walks off, leaving Carlito with a mouth full of apple. Carlito then swallows and tells Todd Grisham he was gonna swallow it anyway.
Rob Van Dam teams up with Rey Mysterio to face A-Train and Rhyno. RVD and Rey show the makings of a great team, and defeat the bigger opponents, with Rey hitting a 619 on Rhyno, and RVD following up with a 5*.
DX sit back in their locker room, chilling out, then they begin to talk about Undertaker. Cade, Jindrak and Michaels try to make a joke out of the fact he was missing from the grave at Backlash, until Luther makes the conversation serious, and says, But what if he did disappear?? The other three then lose their smile, and they all begin to worry.
We see Flair and Batista jump in their limo, to get away from Orton, who is looking for revenge.
A video plays, hyping Kenzo Suzuki, the Bronze Warrior, coming to Raw soon.
In singles action, Luther Reigns takes on Chuck Palumbo. Luther disposes of Chuck easily, but the big story from the match is that afterwards, the lights go out in the arena, and Undertakers gong is heard. The lights then come back, with Luther standing still in the ring, in fear.
We see the arrival of Christian and Tyson Tomko to the arena. Christian looks to be still banged up from the action he has been through the past few weeks.
All four members of DX seem to be spooked out by the lights a few moments ago. Michaels then casually suggests they take off early tonight, which the others agree to. All four then quickly grab their stuff and scarper out of the arena.
Haas and Benjamin defend the Tag Titles against the Brotherhood. Despite interference from Theodore Long and Jazz, The Worlds Greatest Tag Team overcome the odds, and retain the titles.
Mysterio and Van Dam chat backstage about their win tonight, and congratulate each other on their performances, and talk about possibly facing each other at some point down the line. They shake then Mysterio leaves.
A video then plays, hyping WrestleMania 22, which will be held in THE MGM GRAND, LAS VEGAS!!!!! This gets a huge pop from the hometown crowd, in excitement for the Granddaddy of em all coming from Las Vegas.
Victoria defeats Molly Holly in a hard fought match, after the Widows Peak.
We then get the announcement from Mick Foley that next week, Booker T & Goldust will face Cade and Jindrak, with the winners being #1 Contenders for the Tag Titles at Bad Blood, and he reiterates that Edge will challenge Cena for the World Title next week.
Interview with Christian. He says he is being persecuted by Mick Foley for being the #1 star on Raw, and cant get a break. He then blames Cena for his loss to Edge last week, and begins to badmouth the champion, ending the interview saying tonight Cena cant see him.
In the main event, Cena and Edge take on Christian and Tomko. There is tension between Edge and Cena, which helps Christian and Tomko. In the end, Cena and Edge comes close to fighting, but instead go nose to nose, which leads to their demise, as Tomko boots Edge in the back, which sends him into Cena, and Christian rolls up the champion, 1...2...3!!! Christian pins Cena!!!
The show ends with Cena and Edge arguing, whilst up the ramp, Christian celebrates, mimicking Cenas You cant see me pose.
Reno; May 12th:
We see clips of last weeks set up by Triple H on all the other five competitors in the Elimination Chamber at Judgement Day.
Opening Video
Michael Cole:
We are live in Reno, Nevada, just three days away from Judgement Day!!! The first time Smackdown has been on Pay Per View since WrestleMania. Tonight, I am joined by my regular co-host, Tazz.
Indeed it is only three days until Judgement Day, Cole. And three days from my own Judgement Day. I will be stepping back into the ring for the first time in three years, to face Goldberg.
Michael Cole:
Well, I just hope you dont live to regret the decision partner. And talking of Goldberg, tonight, he has requested a match with our backstage colleague, Josh Matthews.
Listen Cole, I know exactly what Goldberg is doing. Hes playing mind games, but what he doesnt realise, is that Im smarter than him, so if he wants mind games heading into Judgement Day, then hes chosen the wrong man to mess with.
**Time to Play The game** Triple H enters the arena, wearing a Armani suit, with a huge grin on his face. He stands at the top of the ramp, looks around the arena sipping on water, before making his way to the ring.
Michael Cole:
Last week in Brisbane, that man, Triple H proved once again why he is the Cerebral Assassin, setting up all five opponents in the Elimination Chamber, firstly, he had La Resistance tell Eddie Guerrero that The Rock had been bad mouthing him, then he had the Bashams tell Chris Jericho that Kurt Angle had been waiting to ambush him, next up was Kurt Angle, who was attacked, supposedly by Chris Benoit, after this, Chris Benoit was informed that Eddie Guerrero had been calling Benoits wife, and then The Rock was sent a delivery apparently by Jericho, in then end, we found out that none of this was true, and it was all a ruse from Triple H to have the five men fight it out, to give HIM the edge for the Elimination Chamber in three days, in his quest to reclaim the WWE Championship for the tenth time.
Nobody can outthink The Game Cole.
Michael Cole:
Well he may not get away scott free Tazz, tonight hes in ten man tag team action, alongside Test, Scott Steiner and the Bashams, facing his five opponents this Sunday.
Triple H then is handed a mic, and he continues to grin, whilst getting heat. He then ****ily leans back on the ropes, soaking the boos up.
Triple H:
Keep it coming
The crowd gets riled up by HHH, and begin an ******* chant. He then starts to talk over it.
Triple H:
You know, the more you people boo, the more I realise just how much of a genius I really am.
More heat. Hunter smiles, then signals with his hands for more.
Triple H:
For anyone who was stupid enough to miss Smackdown in Brisbane last week, Ill remind you exactly what went down. You see, the Elimination Chamber is only three days away, and no one, NO ONE, has competed in all the previous Chamber matches, apart from me. That gives me an edge right from the get go. But, with my experience in the Chamber, I know you need more than experience to be successful inside the structure. You need a psychological advantage, last week, thats exactly what I got. I had all five guys eating from the palm of my hand. I had them believing the bull I was feeding them, they all bought it.
Eddie bought that The Rock was bad mouthing him, why? Because he knows that it was possible that the other guys would talk about him like that. I didnt make it anything too unbelievable, I made a story that Eddie would buy, and boy did he buy it, hook line and sinker.
Then you have Y2J. The Highlight of the Night. The last man to enter the Devils Playground. He may be last to enter folks, but he will be first to go, if I have anything to do about it. Now, how to fool Chris Jericho?? Hmmm. Well, I had to get him riled up. So, I let it play out that Kurt Angle was waiting to kick his ass. I got the reaction I expected from Jericho. He doesnt think with his brain, he thinks with his mouth. Think about it next time buddy boy.
Move on to Benoit. Now with Benoit its different. Hes been referred to as a robot, and well, robots have no feelings, so I put that to the test. I prank called his wife, from Benoits phone, as
Eddie Guerrero. Classic or what?? With one small phone call, I killed a friendship. Why?? Because Benoit doesnt trust Guerrero. Heck, no one trusts Latino heat, he lies, cheats and steals. Lies, Cheats with his friends wives, and steals her wedding ring too.
How about The Rock?? Well, Ill just send him a toy belt, from Chris Jericho, because Jericho is the type of person who would pull a stunt like that. Rock bought it, as I expected him to. Rock, take this advice, keep that toy belt, because this Sunday, Im taking MY real WWE Title back.
Finally, Kurt Angle. Kurt, Kurt, Kurt. What do I say ab-
**Medal** Angle makes his way through the curtain, and walks down the aisle, but stops, as The Game begins to talk.
Triple H:
Whoa, Kurt hold it there. Let me finish. As I was about to say I had nothing to do with your beating last week.
Kurt Angle:
Pull the other one Hunter!!! Why would you set up the four guys, and not me?? I dont believe you for a second. But, tonight, in fact, right now, Ill get my payback.
**Whatever** Chris Benoit then walks out, and down the aisle, right to where Angle is.
Chris Benoit:
So Hunter, are you trying to say that I attacked Kurt last week??
Triple H:
W-, W-, We I- I- I dont know. I dont know who attacked Kurt last week.
Chris Benoit:
Well, first of all, I didnt attack Kurt. Second of all, I guess that was YOU who rang my wife then last week??
Triple H:
(Stands still, not knowing what to say)
**Viva La Raza** Eddie then makes his way out, mic in hand, pointing at The Game.
Eddie Guerrero:
Triple H?? You tried to set me up for ringing Chriss wife last week, huh? Hommes, I may lie, cheat and steal, but not with my friends family. And I dont like being set up for it either essa. And I suppose that The Rock didnt say anything about me?? So I want to rectify this situation, and give you a beating, that you deserve.
**If ya smelllllllllll WHAT THE ROCK IS COOKIN** The WWE Champion then enters the arena to a huge pop.
The Rock:
Eddie Guerrero, The Rock wants to clear something with you right here and now, The Rock will tell you, he never uttered a word against you, but as for you Triple H?? The Rock isnt gonna say anything, instead, The Rock is gonna layeth, the smacketh down, on your candy ass!!! But before The Rock does that, he wants to say one more thing FINALLLLLLLY, THE ROCK HAS COME BACK .TO RENO NEVADA!!!
Before The Rock starts to walk towards the ring, **5-4-3-2-1-BOOM** Chris Jericho now enters the arena, to a big pop. He brushes past The Rock, then pushes past Angle, Benoit and Eddie, before dropping his mic, and getting in the ring, and goes right after Triple H, but The game immediately jumps out, and exits through the crowd.
HHH quickly gets away, whilst Jericho points to him, telling him he wants revenge.
1st Match:
Chris Harris & D Von Dudley vs. Robert Conway & Lance Storm
(During the introductions, we are reminded that this Sunday all four men in this match will team with their partners in the 4 Way Tag for the Vacant Tag Titles)
With strict orders from Bret Hart, the match is contested with no interference. Harris and D Von blend well, although there is some tension between the two, as there is with Conway and Storm. Harris and Dudley have the upper hand, having Storm down and out, with Conway out of the ring. D Von calls for the 3D, but Harris argues, and says he wants them to hit the Death Sentence. The two men then argue, and Rob Conway then takes advantage pulling Harris out of the ring, giving Lance a chance to roll up D Von, 1...2...3!!!
Winners: Lance Storm & Robert Conway
Lance Storm and Conway scarper up the ramp, celebrating, but then stop, and realise this Sunday they will be in opposite corners, with their own partners. In the ring, D Von and Harris argue, and go head to head, until Bubba and James Storm run down to pull them apart. However, Bubba and Cowboy then argue over who was to blame for the loss. The Dudleyz and AMW then comes to blows, and begin to brawl. Eventually, security and backstage road agents break the four guys up, and drag them off in opposite directions.
Michael Cole:
Oh my, the intensity has been raised for this Sundays Tag Team Championships match. The Dudley Boys coming to blows with AMW.
Cole, egos have collided, and I would expect that to continue into this Sundays event.
Michael Cole:
How about this fact though. In the last three weeks from the singles matches, and tonights tag match, both La Resistance members lost their singles matches, for AMW Harris won, but Storm lost, Bubba lost, D Von for the Dudleyz and Regal and Storm both won their singles matches, and with tonights match, Regal and Storm have a perfect record coming into Judgement Day with wins over their opponents.
William Regal & Lance Storm will have to be considered the favourites for the Tag Titles this Sunday by the looks of things Cole.
We go backstage, and see Los Chavos chatting
Chavo Classic:
Son, Im worried about your title. Paul London seems to have a curse over you these last four weeks.
Chavo Junior:
Dad, you have no need to worry anymore, because I got myself a Cruiserweight Championship defence right here tonight!!!
Chavo Classic:
How does that solve the problem??
Chavo Junior:
Ahhh, you see, when I defend the title against Funaki tonight, I will do the simple thing and lay down. Then, I get my rematch at Judgement Day, meaning Paul London is no longer #1 Contender. You see, that #1 Contender status only exists while I am Champion, but only during this championship reign.
Chavo Classic:
(Slowly smiles, then nods)
You are a genius Chavo. Genius!!!
Back to ringside;
Michael Cole:
What the hell!!!??? Thats not fair to Paul London!!!
Cole, lifes not fair. Get used to it. Great plan from Chavo Guerrero!!!
Michael Cole:
Well, it seems very unfair to me. Chavo knows his Championship is under serious threat against Paul London this Sunday, so he wants to lose it to Funaki instead, and then get a rematch at Judgement Day. Folks, well be back after the break with the Cruiserweight Title match.
2nd Match:
Cruiserweight Championship Match:
Chavo Guerrero
w/Chavo Classic
vs. Funaki
As soon as the bell rings, Chavo lays down, and tells Funaki to cover him. The referee, and Funaki are both confused. Funaki thinks its a trick, and decides not to cover him. Guerrero then gets up, and grabs Funaki to cover him, but Funaki knocks him down with a right hand. Chavo falls to the ground, but instead of getting up, he stays down, and tells Funaki to pin him. Funaki still isnt sure what to do, but before he can make a decision, Paul London runs down, jumps to the top rope, and nails a 450 Splash on Chavo!!! The referee calls for a DQ, whilst London celebrates another one up man ship over Chavo, and a final message for him heading into Judgement Day.
Winner: Chavo Guerrero - DQ
Michael Cole:
HA HA!!! Paul London has just outsmarted Chavo again!!!
He may live to regret it Cole. Chavo is due some revenge on London.
Michael Cole:
We shall find out at Judgment Day Tazz. Folks, if you missed Raw this past Monday Night, then you missed the biggest announcement so far this year, here it is again
We then cut to a video of Las Vegas. We are shown some of the sights of the city, such as its casinos, with quick flashing clips of classic WrestleMania moments, then the sign of the MGM Grand Arena comes onto the screen, and the camera then moves down to the main door of the arena, and zooms right in, fading to black, before the WrestleMania logo appears, reading, WrestleMania XXII Viva Las Vegas March 26th 2006...MGM Grand Arena
Michael Cole:
Im pumped already for Wrestlemania Twenty Two!!! Right here in the state of Nevada!!!
Oh boy, I cant wait. Viva Las Vegas Viva Las Vegas.
Michael Cole:
Youre certainly no Elvis Presley, partner.
And youre not a first class announcer, but I dont shout that from the roof tops
Backstage, Maria is with Chris Jericho for an interview
Chris, this Sunday, is the Elimination Chamber. The Rock defends the WWE Championship against Eddie Guerrero, Chris Benoit, Kurt Angle, Triple H, and you. However, you will be going into the match as the favourite to leave as the WWE Champion, because you will be last to enter. How do you respond to that??
Chris Jericho:
How do I respond?? Martha, Ill tell you exactly how I respond to the claims of me being the favourite to walk out the WWE Champion I say they are all correct. I am the favourite, but not because Im last to enter, but because Im the best. Ive been in the Elimination Chamber twice before, and as the saying goes, third times a charm.
Ive tasted the metal of those chain walls, Ive been put through the bullet proof glass, crashed onto the steel floor, Ive bled, Ive broken bones, and shortened my career. And Ill do it all again this Sunday. The WWE Championship means that much. Of course being last to enter gives you the advantage, but the will to win, and the desire to be crowned WWE Champion is what makes me the favourite. Triple H can play his mind games, The Rock can keep the toy belt, Eddie already has the United States Championship, Chris Benoit is good, but not as good as me, and Kirk Angel wont outlast me. Im the odds on favourite, and I am the next WWE Champion.
**Here comes the Pain** Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman enter the arena, and make their way to the ring.
Michael Cole:
I wonder what Brock Lesnar has to say about the Streetfight in three days time, when he faces Steve Austin in a WrestleMania rematch.
I just hope this chair was well cleaned last week, after Paul Heyman sat in it.
Paul Heyman grabs a mic, and waits for the crowd to die down, before speaking.
Paul Heyman:
In three days time, my client, Brock Lesnar will compete in his first ever Streetfight, against Stone Cold Steve Austin.
Crowd Pop for mention of Austin name.
Paul Heyman:
Now, I know you are all thinking that Austin is the favourite right? WRONG!!! Just because Austin is the Worlds toughest son of a ***** doesnt mean, he is guaranteed victory. Why? Let me take you on a trip down memory lane. Brock Lesnars first ever match, April 18th 2002, Backlash. He DESTROYED Jeff Hardy.
Brock Lesnars first ever King of the Ring tournament he beat Bubba Dudley, Booker T, Test and RVD and of course, won it.
Brock Lesnars first ever WWE Championship Match he annihilated the myth of The Rock.
Brock Lesnars first ever Hell in a Cell?? Ha, he tore apart The Undertaker, in the Undertakers own match, you know, the match where he makes people famous? Yeah, Brock won that too by the way.
Oh, of course, Brock Lesnars first ever Royal Rumble guess what?? Yep, he won it. You guys starting to get the picture here?
How about his first WrestleMania Main Event?? Hmmm, let me see, check. Brock WON!!
Now, lets think about Brock Lesnars first ever Stretcher Match or his first Iron Man Match his first ever Cage Match, or his first ever Chain Match. Guess who won in those?? Brock beat Big Show, Kurt Angle, Chris Benoit, and Kurt Angle again in all those matches.
You see, first time matches for Brock Lesnar has absolutely no effect on this man, my client, BROOCCCCCKKKK LESSSSSNAR!!!
Heyman then hands the mic to Brock
Brock Lesnar:
Thank you Paul. Austin, I want to listen up, and hear what I got to say. Th-
**Glass Shatters** Steve Austin enters the arena, to a HUGE ovation. He walks around the ring, and picks up a mic.
Steve Austin:
Brock, you said you have something to say?? Well, I thought Id come to hear it personally. Go ahead.
Brock Lesnar:
Yeah, I want you to hear this. This Sunday, it ends. It comes full circle. Last year, it kicked off at Judgement Day. This year, it comes to Judgement Day, TO END!!! Im sick of you Austin, and I will personally make sure this comes to an end once and for all. You screwed me at the Royal Rumble, No Way Out, and any other match Ive had in the last five months!! I dont care if its a streetfight, Hell in a Cell, TLC, or a frikkin Picnic. Im beating your ass this Sunday, and thats the bottom line.
Steve Austin:
Im gonna just tell ya a few things right here and now Brock. Number One, never say Thats the bottom line ever again. Number two, I cost you your shots at the title, because you cost me my job ya little *******. Number three, this Sunday, its gonna be just like WrestleMania, with me whooping your ass, all over Vancouver!!! And if Reno Nevada wants me to open a can of ass whooping on him right now, gimme a hell yeah!!!
Crowd; HELL YEAH!!!
Paul Heyman:
STOP!!! Stop, stop. Austin, this isnt gonna be a repeat of Wrestlemania, there wont be any interference. Not from Vince McMahon, not from Bret Hart, not even from me. Its gonna be just you and Brock. Neither Brock or myself care what Reno wants you to do, but we would like you to get the hell out of here before things get ugly.
Steve Austin:
Paul, unless you dont a mirror, things have already got ugly here tonight.
(Crowd Pops).
Look at ya. Youre silly little pony tail, 2 cent cap, second hand jacket, silly little tie, crappy shoes YOU MAKE ME SICK!!!
Paul Heyman:
You make ME sick Austin. You make me sick to the stomach. I would love to slap your face, and kick your ass, a-
Steve Austin:
Why dont ya then??
Paul then gulps, and shakes his head, saying no. He looks to Brock, who whispers into Pauls ear, then Heyman smiles, and begins to smile.
Paul Heyman:
Alright, youre on!!! Ill face you Austin, TONIGHT!!!
**Hitman** The General Manager then makes his way into the arena, with a mic in hand, and a broad smile.
Bret Hart:
Congratulations Paul. Looks like youve actually grown a set. And you know what, to commemorate your big decision, Ill be banning Brock Lesnar from ringside for your match with Austin.
Heymans mouth drops, and stands in shock, whilst Brock goes nuts. Austin smiles, as does Bret, as we cut to a commercial.
Michael Cole:
We are back on Smackdown, and well, we have ourselves the most unlikely of Main Events here tonight in Reno. Steve Austin will face Paul Heyman, with Brock Lesnar banned from ringside.
Geeez. This might not be a good night to be Paul Heyman.
3rd Match:
Rikishi vs. Kanyon
(We are informed during the entrances that Rikishi will be facing Simon Dean at Judgement Day)
Short match, with Rikishi on offence throughout. He has the match under total control, until Simon Dean makes his way out, with a table of Simon System products, causing himself as a distraction to the big man, and this leads to Kanyon rolling Rikishi up with a handful of tights, 1...2...3!!!
Winner: Kanyon
Rikishi is irate with Simon, who laughs at Rikishi, but then begins to run away, as Rikishi exits the ring, and comes after him.
Michael Cole:
This Sunday, Simon Dean may regret ever coming to Smackdown.
Oh yeah, you shouldnt make Rikishi angry, and Simon Dean didnt just make him mad, he insulted the big man. At Judgement Day, Simon may have to eat his words.
Backstage, Kevin Kelly is standing by with Chris Benoit
Kevin Kelly:
Chris Benoit, you are three days away from possibly becoming the WWE Champion for the very first time. However, in your way, are four other hungry challengers, and one mighty champion.
Chris Benoit:
Well Kevin, thats right, Im less than 72 hours away from completing my journey. Im 72 hours away from finally realising my destiny. In my way is Triple H, a NINE time, World Champion. In my way is Kurt Angle, an Olympic GOLD medallist. In my way is Chris Jericho, the first ever UNDISPUTED Champion. In my way is Eddie Guerrero, the current United States CHAMPION. In my way, is The Rock, the REIGNING WWE Champion. In my way, is Satans Structure. 2 Miles of Steel Chain, 10 tonnes of steel, Steel floors, bullet proof glass, all designed to punish the human body.
Look at all the guys in my way. They all have or have had something to polish their legacy. I dont. I wasnt the first ever Undisputed Champion, Ive never won an Olympic Gold Medal, Ive never held the World Title here, yet others have had it multiple times. Jericho can say hes hungry, Angle can say he wants it, Rock can say he wants to keep it, Hunter can say he needs it, and Eddie can say hes desperate, but I am hungrier, I want it more, I want to keep it too, I NEED it, and I am DESPERATE!!!!
Im prepared to eat the steel, Im prepared to loss blood, Im prepared to break my neck, Im prepared to do whatever it takes. This Sunday may be the last chance I ever get!!! This Sunday may be the last match I ever have, it may be the last night of my life, but I MUST WIN!!!
Benoit then breathes heavily before storming off down the hallway.
Raw Rebound:
- Orton showdown with Batista and Flair, then chases then out of the arena.
- Announcement of Cena - Edge next week for the Title.
- Takers gong after Luther Reigns match, then afterwards, DX getting out of the arena.
- Cena and Edge teaming up to face Christian and Tomko. The Champion and next weeks challenger argue, leading to Christian rolling up Cena for a shock win.
Back to ringside;
Michael Cole:
Folks, I am tingling after that emotional interview moments ago from the Rabid Wolverine, Chris Benoit.
Oh man. It has come to the point of Benoits career, where he will seriously do ANYTHING to become the WWE Champion. I cant believe he said he may not even walk out alive. Thats how much he wants it. Ill be honest Cole, Im worried that Benoit will do something that may bring his career to an end.
Michael Cole:
Well, he is in action later on tonight folks, along with the other five men inside the Chamber this Sunday, in a ten man tag. But up next,
Goldberg takes on Josh Matthews.
4th Match:
Goldberg vs. Josh Matthews
Squash match. Goldberg dominates from start to finish. Hitting all his power moves, then nails a Spear, nearly breaking Josh in half. Goldberg then hits a Jackhammer, and mercifully ends the match.
Winner: Goldberg
Goldberg has his arm raised, then points towards the announce table, and smiles at Tazz, before picking up Josh, and hitting another Jackhammer. Goldberg shakes his head, and scoops Josh up again, and is about to hit another Jackhammer, until Tazz rises from his chair. Goldberg drops the lifeless body of Matthews to the ground, and stares at Tazz. Tazz then picks up a mic.
Leave the kid alone Goldberg. Your problem isnt with him, its with me. You want to send a message to me, hows about you give it to me in person.
Tazz, Im not doing anything to ya tonight. I can wait three days to hold it back. In three days, pal, Im gonna destroy the myth known as TAZZ!!!
Goldberg, you can beat me up, you can break my bones, but you wont destroy the so called myth known as Tazz, because Im not a myth. Im for real, and Im for real when I tell ya you still have two options tap out, or choke out!!!
Crowd pops, and starts an ECW chant.
Thats cute, but I dont take threats from jumping beans seriously. Look at it this way Tazz, you ask me tap out, or choke out? I ask you, Spear, Jackhammer, or both??
Goldberg, Im ready for it all, Im ready for the Spear, Im ready for the Jackhammer, Im ready for it all. Thats the difference, Im taking you seriously, but you arent taking me seriously.
Well see this Sunday Tazz. Well see.
Goldberg then slowly leaves the ring, and walks up the ramp, keeping his eyes fixed on Tazz. Tazz then leaves Goldberg with one last comment
But remember this Goldberg BEAT ME IF YOU CAN
Backstage, we see Simon continue to run from Rikishi. Simon then jumps into a cab, and speeds off into the night, as far away from Rikishi as possible.
5th Match:
10 Man Tag;
Triple H, Basham Brothers, Test & Scott Steiner vs.
The Rock, Chris Benoit, Kurt Angle, Chris Jericho & Eddie Guerrero
Despite so many men being involved, the match is pretty short, as the five faces all begin to fight over who will take out Triple H. Suddenly the five men begin to brawl amongst one another, and the referee is soon forced to call the match a no contest.
Winners; No Contest
Triple H slides out of the ring, with a huge smile on his face. He tells the Bashams and Test & Steiner to leave the ring, and let them fight.
Whilst the five men brawl, Triple H stands at the top of the ramp, signalling that they are all puppets, and the title is in the bag for him this Sunday. Meanwhile, in the ring, the five men are all broken up, with a portion of the locker room being forced to help out in breaking them apart.
We are played a short video, of JBL walking the streets of Reno, almost like a politician. He hands out fliers to the public, with his face on it, saying Let John Bradshaw Layfield be your choice of #1 WWE Superstar. The video is almost comical, with JBLs over the top antics, with him dropping the odd comment about Faarooq and this Sundays match.
Back to ringside
Michael Cole:
In three days, Judgement Day will be LIVE, coming right from the PNE Coliseum in Vancouver. Seven matches have been announced, and before we run down the card, the music in the background?? Thats The End Has Come by Ben Moody, the official theme song for Judgement Day.
Freaky song, freaky song Cole, but it fits the Elimination Chamber match perfectly.
Michael Cole:
Indeed, on the show, The WWE Tag Team Championships will have new owners. Americas Most Wanted, The Dudley Boyz, La Resistance, and the in form team of William Regal and Lance Storm battle for the vacant titles.
Elimination style match Cole, which could be the undoing of William Regal and Lance Storm, because they wont get away with their constant cheating ways in this environment. My pick is the outsiders of La Resistance.
Michael Cole:
Simon Dean will face Rikishi, in a match made during the week, and boy oh boy, is Simon in trouble.
Indeed, Simon Dean is in big time trouble, the big man is after blood. Simon has his work cut out. This may not be a very nice debut for him.
Michael Cole:
How about Brock Lesnar and Stone Cold Steve Austin in a Streetfight. The rivalry comes full circle this Sunday, at Judgement Day. No ringside presence, no interference, just Lesnar and Austin, one on one.
It all began at Judgement Day 2004, it all ends at Judgement Day 2005. Which man will get the last laugh. Cole, its too hard for me to call. Austin is suited to Streetfights, but Brock Lesnar always wins when its his first time.
Michael Cole:
Paul London challenges Chavo Guerrero for the Cruiserweight Championship. Will London prove to Guerrero he is more than a flavour of the month, or will Chavo be right again.
Chavo seems to be jinxed with London, Cole. He just cant get one up on him, but if I know the Cruiserweight Champion, he might just find a way to retain the title.
Michael Cole:
John Bradshaw Layfield takes on his former best friend, and tag team partner, Ron Simmons, in what should be, in the words of good ol Jim Ross, a Slobberknocker.
Or in the words of Tazz a Rocket Buster. JBL is gonna be hell bent on victory, and I cant see Simmons stopping his former partner.
Michael Cole:
Then, Tazz, its yourself, in action for the first time in three years, taking on Goldberg.
The time for talk is over now Cole, its put up or shut up this Sunday.
Michael Cole:
Then the main event. Six Men, six careers, inside the device known as Satans Structure, the Devils Playground, the Elimination Chamber. The Rock defends the title against Eddie Guerrero, Triple H, Chris Benoit, Kurt Angle and Chris Jericho, who dont forget will be last to enter. Triple H has been in all three past Chamber matches, with two victories, and a runners up spot.
The mind games have taken over Cole, and its Triple H who is in front as far as thats concerned. Jericho has the advantage as far as being last to enter, but weve heard just how much Chris Benoit wants it, we know Guerrero would love to finally hold the title, and no one has been on a bigger role that Kurt Angle, and lets not rule out the champion. Im sticking my neck out on the line, and Im gonna tip The Game to make it a short reign for The Rock. Hes got the momentum, and the experience.
Michael Cole:
Its Judgement Day, LIVE, this Sunday, only on Pay Per View.
Main Event:
With Brock Lesnar BANNED from ringside;
Steve Austin vs. Paul Heyman
Heyman tries to run from Austin at the beginning, but soon gets out of gas, and Austin catches him. The Rattlesnake beats down Heyman, opening a can of whoop ass on him. Austin hits the Lou Thesz press, then goes for a Stunner, but then, Brock Lesnar jumps the barricade, and gets in the ring, attacking Austin from behind.
Winner: Steve Austin - DQ
Lesnar then continues to beat down Austin, whilst Heyman tries to recover. Lesnar hits a Belly to belly, and follows up with a German Suplex. Lesnar then ends the assault with an F5. Bret Hart then comes out to the stage, but before he can speak, Heyman cuts him off
Paul Heyman:
What are you gonna do Bret?? You gonna scrap the Streetfight at Judgement Day??
Bret Hart:
No. No I wont scrap the Streetfight at Judgement Day, that wouldnt be fair. But Brock, because of your actions tonight, youve forced my hand. Paul, youre already banned from ringside this Sunday, but Im adding to that Paul, youre banned from Smackdown!!! Consider yourself SUSPENDED!!!
Bret Hart then walks off, still furious with Brocks interference. Meanwhile, in the ring, Brock and Paul are irate. They go nuts, especially Lesnar. And in an act of rage, Brock grabs a chair, and NAILS Austin big time, so hard, the Rattlesnake is sent to the outside of the ring, and we end the show with the image of Lesnar irate.

Lovely stay in Woodlesford, hotel and coffee shop very welcoming.
The hotel and coffee shop are very nice and the ham sandwiches with home made picallili were delicious, as was the cake.
The rooms are separate round a stable yard, so no noise from the bar. Lovely room recently re-furbished roomy bathroom and shower and spotlessly clean. Staff were friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay there again.

The Gutless Line got shit going, forcing the Flyers to ice the puck. Disco throws Crosby's unit out there. Crosby goal.
Pens just wouldn't stop coming. Every line was getting pressure. The Flyers finally got some puck movement going and got too excited. The result was Staal and Kennedy getting a staggered 2-on-1. Great pass by Staal. Great goal by TK. 2-0.
Laviolette had to use his timeout.
Game had a more balanced flow after that. And that is when the first cracks in the Pens' D began to surface.
Malkin tried to some unrealistic move. Flyers kept him in check big-time.
MAF had to answer a couple more bells after that. Briere had a golden chance after another turnover.
Some fringe holding calls on both sides were being let go.
The Pens could've used another goal before the intermission, and they got it. Crosby had a beautiful pass off the glass to Sullivan. Who does that. Sully was able to knock it out front. Dupuis bats it in. 3-0.
Couldn't have asked for a better first period.
Orpik lifted Double J's stick somewhere to save a goal.
Thing you will remember about this period:
The Flyers were a different team in the second. Whatever Lavvy told them during intermission, it worked. What sucked was that the Pens were a completely different team, as well.
Giroux went off for boarding Orpik. Pens PP couldn't really get a chance. Killed. A goal on that powerplay probably buries the Flyers. Instead, the kill gave them some more juice.
Then the Flyers had a couple quick chances. Big save by MAF on a Hartnell one-timer. The Flyers were coming.
Danny Briere gets away with being offside and is able to put one over MAF. 3-1.
-thanks to Cole R.-
Terrible blown call, but if you think that is the reason the Pens lost, God help everyone.
Game dipped into a lull for a bit. Then Zac Rinaldo took an idiotic penalty behind the play. Pens got some better chances on that PP. Killed again.
Game dipped back into some back-and-forth stuff. Biggest moment came when Asham led a 2-on-1 with Adams. He takes the shot there 9 times out of 10. He passed it that time.
Bryzgalov was coming up with huge stops all period. No highlight-reel shit. Just saves he had to make.
Thing you will remember about this period:
Flyers stole the momentum back.
The third didn't feel right from the onset. You had to figure the Flyers were going to get a powerplay at some point.
But instead it was Double J going off for holding up Crosby. Crosby definitely helped get the call. Jagr's wheelchair isn't fast enough to keep up with Crosby, though. Again the powerplay did nothing. It haunted the Pens last year against Tampa Bay. The seed of doubt has already been planted this spring.
Staal hit the post at some point.
Gif via @BroadstreetHockey
MAF had to make a huge save on Lilja.
Briere went offside, and CONSOL gave out a mock cheer.
Then Briere decided it was time to score again.
Then Orpik leveled Briere behind the Pens' net. But it was just a taaaaad late. He went off for interference. PP for Flyers.
They didn't fool around. Goal. Tied. 3-3. Brayden Schenn with a beauty.
Pens' D lost all confidence. Paul Martin turned in the worst performance by a man at his job since that Italian boat captain.
Things you'll remember about this period:
You could feel the game slipping away. Pens mounted almost no offensive momentum.
Curious move to not start Malkin or Crosby in OT. Strange. Have to ask yourself, would 66 have ever not started an OT? Flyers started their top line. Pens started Tyler Kennedy.
Flyers made it quick at least. Voracekville. 4-3.
stunnnneeeddd jeeeessus
Guy in Mario patch jersey is in a dark, dark place.
No clue what Letang was doing.
- Pens didn't load up with Crosby and Malkin at all.
- Crosby, Kunitz, Neal, Malkin — One has to sit so Sullivan can play the point with Letang. With the current PP setup, it doesn't even look like any of the players know where they should be.
- Ridin' and dyin' with MAF. Big Game 2 coming up obviously.
- The powerplay was the death of the Penguins' post season last year. It is off to a flaccid 0 for 3.
- Again, if you are in the "blame the refs" crowd, the Pens had three powerplays before the Flyers had their only one.
- Asham may have gotten hurt.
- Do it all over again on Friday.

The Pen Museum
During the 19th Century, 75% of everything written in the world was with a 'Birmingham' pen. Birmingham was at the forefront of this trade until it declined in the 1950's with the invention of the biro and fountain pen. At one time, there were around 100 factories in the Jewellery Quarter area. The development of the steel pen reduced the cost of writing and enabled the spread of literacy throughout the world.
Set in the atmosphere of a former Victorian pen factory, The Pen Museum is dedicated to preserving and promoting the legacy of this trade. There is ongoing research into the social, historical and technical aspects of the trade and also the Jewellery Quarter itself. The museum has assisted people tracing their genealogy and is keen to hear from anybody who has had connections with the trade.
The Pen Museum is more than just a passive museum with objects on display. It is a hands-on collection! Visitors can try writing with a variety of different implements including quills and typewriters; you can also try writing in Braille or make your own pen nib using original machinery.
The Pen Museum has a range of educational activities that covers both formal and informal learning. The collection can be used to support a variety of curricular subjects including literacy, local history and citizenship. Calligraphy classes are held at The Pen Museum on Saturday mornings from 9.45am to 11.15am and 11.30am to 1pm.
The Museum is keen to form partnerships with community groups to encourage participation in various cultural activities. For more information please visit The Pen Museum website or telephone 0121 236 9834.

NEWARK -- Regardless of what happens to goaltender Martin Brodeur this week, the Devils could be buyers before the NHL trade deadline on Wednesday.
The Devils have scored 13 goals in three games since the Olympic break, but their 2.39 goals per game rank 24th among 30 clubs. If they opt to deal for a scorer, they could end up with Calgary left wing Mike Cammalleri.
CBC's Elliotte Friedman reported the Devils are interested in Cammalleri, a 31-year-old in the walk year of his contract. He has 223 career goals, but just 13 in 43 games this season.
"Different things pop up every day now until the deadline," forward Adam Henrique said. "There are always rumors. You never know what's actually going on unless you're sitting there in the meetings. And then you don't even know what happening."
Devils players seem to think management won't hold a fire sale because they're still close to a playoff spot, and if true, then leading scorer Jaromir Jagr, like Brodeur in his walk year, likely is going nowhere.
The Devils' other veterans in the final year of a contract are defensemen Marek Zidlicky and Mark Fayne, and checking-line forwards Stephen Gionta, Ryan Carter and Steve Bernier.
"You never know what can happen," Henrique said. "I think we've seen that in the past where there have been surprises. If Wayne Gretzky's been traded, anybody can be traded. I don't know think there's going to be any major moves, but I think you always try to look to see if you can make the team better. But what do you have to give up?"

The census of nearby galaxies is incomplete particularly for dwarf galaxies. To fill in the census, we have undertaken a survey of galaxies suspected to be nearby on the basis of ground based studies, by using the WFPC2 on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) to image in two filters (F606W and F814W). The survey is an executing Cycle 8 proposal, and operates using the snapshot mode of the HST, where single unscheduled orbits are used to obtain 600 second images in each filter. The high resolution of HST yields observations that give the magnitudes and colors of the brightest stars in these galaxy candidates out to 4 Mpc, as well as the population and characteristics of the brightest and most extended star clusters. We will review the rationale for this survey, the strategy used to obtain data, the target selection, and data reduction. To date, data have been obtained for 33 galaxies mostly from the list of Karachentseva & Karachentsev (1998, A&AS, 127, 409). Initial results for their distances and stellar populations will be presented here and in subsequent papers in this session. The survey is rapidly increasing the number of confirmed nearby dwarf galaxies.

It's New Year's Day, a traditional time for making resolutions. This year I'm asking child care providers to resolve and recommit to carrying out their weighty responsibilities as mandated child abuse reporters.
Everyone in the community has a moral responsibility to report suspected child abuse and maltreatment. Mandated reporters, however, are professionals who have a legal responsibility, under NY State Law, to report reasonable cause to suspect that a child may be being abused or maltreated. Child care providers in New York State, like doctors, nurses, law enforcement officials, social workers and teachers, are mandated child abuse reporters.
Child care providers and other mandated reporters receive training on the signs of child abuse and how to make a report when they suspect abuse or neglect. This knowledge is important, but making the decision to call the Child Abuse Hotline can be terribly difficult. Being a mandated reporter requires both knowledge and courage - the courage to act to protect children.
Child care providers are often very closely involved with the families of the children they serve. It takes courage to call the hotline knowing that parents may feel angry or betrayed. It takes courage to make a call that could trigger an investigation. It takes courage to act not knowing what the final outcome will be. The courage to act comes from our conviction that the child's safety comes first - before worries about ourselves or the family. It comes from the understanding that it is our action that could save a child's life or protect a child from experiencing the pain of further abuse or neglect.
In 2008 our community was deeply shaken by the deaths of two children who were victims of child abuse. We can't reverse the events that led to their deaths, but we can redouble our efforts to make sure that both ordinary citizens and mandated reporters in our community call the Child Abuse Hotline when they have reasonable cause to suspect that a child is being abused. This is a powerful and important way that we can stand up for children when they most need our help.
There is a special Child Abuse Hotline for mandated reporters. The number is 1-800-635-1522. The public Hotline for non-mandated reporters is 1-800-342-3720.
With wishes for a safe, healthy and happy new year for all of our children,
Resources for parents and providers available at Child Care Solutions.

For those of you who are in the angry anti-pasta stage of your gluten-free lifestyle (oh, you didn't know that was a thing? It totally is), I have something that just might lure you back to the world of gf pasta goodness. Or, if you're happy cursing fusilli, be my guest. Seriously, it feels good to take out your anger on sub par pasta. It really does.
But if you're ready to give noodles another chance, may I recommend this frankenrecipe I created from a yummy penne number from America's Test Kitchen, and another particularly compelling post I read about white beans? I may? Why, thank you!
I've kind of given up on the hardcore red sauce pastas I used to make. Which is sad, but since I was diagnosed in the middle of an intense "Grandma's Italian Kitchen" cooking phase of my life, I still associate that huge pot of bubbling Sunday sauce with massive stomach pain. Not unlike my reaction to Bacardi, I just steer clear due to the epic-ly negative association.
But just because you skip the intense red sauce, does not mean you should deny flavor atop your pasta. Adding red pepper flakes is always a win, and getting your white beans and broccoli all crunchy can be incredibly satisfying. Especially to a gluten-free person, who has lost all sense of "crunch" along with her sense of "good beer."
What I'm trying to say, is this is the best damn pasta recipe outside of Brooklyn. It just happens to be gluten-free. Eat it!

Pat Hart has heard it before.
As executive director of Womanspace, a Lawrence-based nonprofit dedicated to helping those affected by domestic and sexual violence, she's fielded questions about how domestic violence and health care intersect.
Domestic violence isn't a health issue, she's been told.
But Hart and her staff vehemently disagree — and they've got the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on their side.
The CDC has recognized domestic violence as a significant health care issue for primarily women, but men as well. One behavioral scientist at the federal center said domestic violence costs $8.3 billion each year, not including legal or criminal justice costs. Besides suffering injuries like broken bones and bruises, Hart said victims of partner violence are more likely to suffer from depression, post traumatic stress disorder, anxiety and even strokes.
"It poses significant health risks for women," Hart said in a recent interview. "I don't think it gets recognized as such. All of our energy has gone into educating and forming and building awareness about health-related illness when domestic violence or sexual assault are involved."
Over the past several years, Womanspace has developed domestic violence screening guidelines for hospitals, primary care physicians and other health care providers and pushed to make screenings a regular and routine part of health appointments.
"My goal is every health care provider will kind of join with us and start asking questions routinely," she said. "It's very preventative and it can make such a big difference. Asking the questions can make such a difference."
The Times spoke with Hart about domestic violence, broaching the subject with medical patients and the toll violence takes on a victim's health.
What makes domestic violence a health care issue?
Domestic violence is recognized by the CDC as a significant health care issue for women and men, but the majority is for women. There are so many medical issues that arise but it is the number one reason for accidents with women going to the emergency room.
... We've spent a fair amount of time training health care providers and encouraging them to screen. The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations has best practices. Their best practice for any health care provider that is recognized by them is they will screen for domestic violence. So the CDC, the Joint Commission, everyone agrees domestic violence and sexual assault pose significant health risks.
What's really important to us is every health care provider has in their repertoire a screening tool and information about screening. How to ask, where to ask, what to ask. So that women who do disclose or so that women who are experiencing domestic violence or sexual assault, they have an opportunity to share that information and then maybe get some help.
Tell me more about the screenings.
We've done a significant amount of training. We are a site for third-year medical students who do community rotations. We train wherever we're invited. We've done 'lunch and learns' with physician's offices to give information about domestic violence, what to look for, where to screen, with the hope every woman who comes into the office is asked whether she's safe from her partner, whether she feels safe at home.
The questions can be life-saving. For the most part women aren't asked these questions on a regular basis and if they aren't in a domestic violence situation they learn it's a very serious issue and it's a topic that needs to be talked about. It builds awareness just by asking.
... We also distribute cards to doctors offices. Mostly, we want our numbers to be out there. If anyone has questions, even if a physician has questions, they can call our hotline or office and get some clarity. If someone is in a domestic violence or serious situation, it is an opportunity for them to get some much-needed help in a confidential setting. The most important thing is it's done in a confidential setting and is done in a way that's respectful and taken seriously.
You don't want to say, 'You're not getting hit, are you?' You don't want to ask in front of the patient's significant other. You do it in a place that offers confidentiality.
What are some of the barriers or reasons why doctors or nurses might not broach the subject of domestic violence with their patients?
Health care providers are really busy. To ask that question you have to be prepared for a yes answer and if you get one, what do you do then?
We try to make it as easy as possible. The only thing you have to be is emphatic. 'I'm sorry this is happening to you. Can I offer you some help? How can I help you?'
And providing referral information. Health care providers at that point in time can't fix it or solve it and they don't really have to. You can also make a referral to Womanspace. We will be happy to respond 24/7, 365 days a year so she can access us.
That's why it's so important physicians ask those questions and ask them in a way that allows for an honest answer. ... There's a slogan we use, RADAR. 'Remember to ask and ask directly.'
It is awkward, it's something you're not used to asking, but you can couch it in a way that says, 'Because instances of domestic violence are so prevalent, I ask this of everyone.' It makes it a little less stark than, 'Is anybody hitting you?' That's hard when it first comes out. You can say instead, 'Are you in a relationship where you're being hurt? Is anyone hurting you; has a partner ever hit you?'
Are more providers acknowledging the impacts domestic violence can have on health and asking these questions?
The Joint Commission for Best Practices and the CDC acknowledges this is a major health problem for women. It accounts for so many women's visits to the emergency room.
I do think more and more health care providers are making an effort to ask those questions.
Is there a legal mandate to report domestic violence?
No. In some states there is, but not New Jersey. Some people group it with Child Protective Services and think they have a mandate to call. Although it feels like you should report it because it can be so horrible, one of the reasons to not is it can sometimes make it worse to do reporting.
What's the community benefit to screening and identifying domestic violence victims?
Most obviously, it can be an early intervention in an area where long-term effects of trauma are significant. We see symptomology in the extreme — long-term post traumatic stress, depression, anxiety.
... One woman had a stroke. She was 30 years old. When she came back to us, her physician told her the stroke was a result of being strangled over and over again.
... We can avoid so many long-term illnesses, which is one of the reasons the CDC has stepped up to the plate to identify this as a health care problem. It eliminates the need for long-term care down the road if you can eliminate it early on, treat any symptoms and help survivors to build themselves back. It's major for us, it really is.

Index Funds Help You Enjoy Life
|Email Print
When it comes to your assets, keeping track of your investments is very important. You want the money you've squirreled away to grow so that in the future you'll have a nice little cache that you can draw on. However, it seems like oftentimes people focus too much time on investing such that other aspects suffer. For most investors, myself included, the time required to adequately research a company, especially if you don't know how to read a balance sheet or an income statement, is a poor investment in and of itself. For this very reason I put the bulk of my funds into index or target retirement funds, this way I can spend more time enjoying life and less time researching companies (and I bet I'm bad at it).
A thousand dollars is quite a bit of money. It's even more when you consider that it's post tax money and you'll likely need to earn around $1700 working in order to take home that $1000 (assuming you lose 40% to the aggregate of federal and state income tax, social security, medicare, etc.). So it's no surprise that smaller time investors spend hours researching a company before plunking down a thousand dollars for shares of common stock. Doing research is very important and very necessary but when you consider that the stock market returns around 10%, all that time will likely result in earnings of $100 on that $1000. Wouldn't time be better spent doing something more rewarding and less risky?
That's where opportunity cost aspect comes in, which is to say that the cost of researching a stock is what you lose by not doing something else. From a strictly financial perspective, most workers would make more money working another hour than spending an hour researching their stock (ignore any non-financial derivation of value out of researching stocks, some people find it wildly entertaining). In fact, I'd argue that from a "life" perspective, most people would derive more pleasure out of doing something they loved than researching stocks. Fish a creek or read some balance sheets? Hit the links or calculate cash flows? That's why index funds are freaking awesome, they let you do the things you love while still allowing your cache of nuts to grow.{ 7 comments, please add your thoughts now! }

What is Turpintine used for? How do you know if a child have worms?
My mom says my 2 year out-of-date daughter has worms and I should put turpentine on her to exterminate the worms. Have anyone ever heard of this?
Hi nicky, the adjectives symptoms presence worms:
diarrhea, foul breath, dark circles, fancy hungry regularly, restlessness while sleeping, suffering from headaches and abdominal discomfort, undernourished, weak, suffering from allergies, constipation, gas and bloated stomach, if your a child have this symptoms most likely he have worms.
Worms are the culprits for many of the strength problems which we face surrounded by our daily lives. People of any age are artificial by these worms. The longer they stay in our body the faster our body starts deteriorating. Worms are thieve as they consume important nutrient adjectives for our body.
I would recommend a thorough examination your child by your doctor. This will backing detect any developing health problems as hasty as possible.
Jason Homan
Is your mom a witch?
Did she mix some turpentine up in a cauldron beside eye of newt and eagle talons?
For being that stupid my direction is you drink the turp and find out what happens. (Clue: it burns and results contained by death)
best way to find out: dont ask hit and miss ppl on Yahoo! ask a specialist, go 2 ur child's doctor if u are that concerned in the order of it
it thins paint..
your mom is not mentally stable ..never put turpentine on any human especially a child..this is child abuse..see a physical doctor..
never ever do that =you could be charged with child abuse=go to the drugstore and obtain some worm medicine for the child
Good grief, are you trying to shoot this chid? Your mother is insane. If there is something wrong beside the child, take her to a Dr. Your mother should be reported for child assault. Don't allow her to be anywhere near your daughter. She is a risk to her.
Turpentine is a paint thinner. No! Do not put that on your child. Read the warning - do not come contained by contact with skin. OMG! If your daughter have pin worms (1/4 inch white worms in the anus) she requirements to be seen by a pediatrician. Also, other worm variety can be picked up from undercooked meat, contact with animal feces (yard, sand box). Have her see by a medical professional, please.
thats a very behind the times fashioned cure. If you pour turpentine on your daughter you will be guilty of abuse. Turpentine removes paint. that's it. PAINT.
to even ponder of doing this is asinine. To cure worms, you take her to the doc, he analyzes her stool example and prescribes the appropriate meds.
If she is itching in her anal nouns she should be seen by a doc. and you really have need of to move away from your mother.
If you think your daughter have worms take her to the doctor and he will describe you for sure and fix it easily and undamagingly.
Turpintine is a paint thinner, solvent made from certain distilled pine sap.
Don't play games beside your kid's health. Get your boss out of your behind! If you love your kid and I know you do after forget quack stuff .
Didn't you get any honourable answers to "How do I stop lying?" ?
You're a pre-teen, have an 8 yr ripened, 2 yr old and 1 year frail you are bathing in bleach?
Why would she hold worms?Does she play in the pen where on earth pigs where raise?Goats?Dogs?
Your mom must be elderly or from the bback woods where within lets say-1930's they wormed kids if they looked 'white around the lips' - 'Itched their butts adjectives the time' 'or were 'hungry adjectives the time ' back next they didn,t have T.P and raining wipes w/antibacterials added [CrAzY] Don,t put this on your child this is 2007 hold her to a health dept if hold no insurence,They will take a stool indication and will give you the PROPER TREATMENT for the TYPE she May or May Not enjoy.
Humans DO GET Parasites and just approaching lice you don,t keep them you grasp Medication..
And to those out there There ARE 2 Types of Turpintine .
Don,t believe me?Call the Vetranarian ,Pharmacist or paint supply company in the vicinity you,
if this is what your mom prescribes, im amazed you survived long enough to enjoy children of your own.

There are also links between marijuana and other mental health conditions. Marijuana use may trigger schizophrenia or detachment from reality (psychosis) in certain people. There is also some evidence that adolescents who attempt suicide may be more likely to use marijuana than those who don't. As with marijuana use and depression, more research is needed to better understand these associations.
The bottom line: Marijuana use and depression accompany each other more often than you might expect by chance, but there's no clear evidence that marijuana directly causes depression."

AS SOMEONE who's spent the last week frantically putting pots underneath leaks dripping from my flat roof, I'm at a loss to explain the behavior of people in "Pompeii."
As they go about their normal, 79 AD business of wearing togas and peeling grapes and complaining about Roman rule, the earth will suddenly tremble, and tiles will fall from the ceiling. There is a pause, a few casual, "probably nothing" looks upward, then it's back to business.
No one's the least bit bothered by these events and their possible relationship to the nearby volcano?

(subscriber will accept!!!) My girlfriend puts ketchup on
Resolved Question:
(subscriber: will accept!!!) My girlfriend puts ketchup on everything and I'm worried that it's becoming an obsession. I know it sounds stupid but seriously...she keeps it by the bed when we sleep. She takes it to restaurants, out on picnics, she puts in on popcorn when we go to the movies. No one believes me but it's really weird and it's seriously starting to freak me out. What should I do?

Hello my name is XXXXX XXXXX you for bringing your concerns to Just Answer...with regards XXXXX XXXXX most stressful and difficult situation...and I feel for you ....'both' greatly in this...
I suspect your girlfriend might well be suffering an OCD disorder ( obsessive Compulsive Disorder)...particularly if you have repeatedly asked her to stop putting it on your food...hence, every possibility that it has become an 'obsession & compulsion' with her...just one of these symptoms is portrayed by way of her need to : to perform certain
to avoid the possibility of negative events occurring? This is in her thinking.
It is also believed that people who develop obsessions and compulsions are more likely to believe that they will be held responsible and blamed if something negative does happen..hence the ritual. This too
them want to engage in certain
to bring relief from this fear. We also know that everyone has unwanted and unusual thoughts at times. However, people who develop obsessions and compulsions tend to view their unwanted thoughts as highly significant.
Obsessions and compulsions commonly develop following a period of
in someone's life (e.g. a bereavement, financial problems or work place stress). Someone's experiences throughout life can also have an impact. For example, if someone has grown up in a household where cleanliness was a high priority, they may develop a sensitivity towards hygiene issues themselves. If this is the case, they may be more likely to engage in time consuming rituals to make themselves and their surroundings feel clean...then again there is also some evidence that biological factors play a small role in the development of obsessions and compulsions.
For example, if someone in her immediate family has experienced obsessions and compulsions, there is a higher, albeit small chance, that she may go on to experience them too.
In reality, it is possible that a combination of these factors play a role in the development of obsessions and compulsions. However, in some ways it is less important to know what causes them,
and more important to know what stops us overcoming them.
Those who experience obsessions and compulsions become distressed when they have an unwanted thought (e.g. I'm contaminated and will spread germs). In attempt to neutralize this, they engage in rituals designed to bring relief from this distress (e.g. wash their hands). Although this is a very understandable way of coping with an unwanted thought, it is actually one of the main reasons that people find it hard to overcome them...and if she consistently puts ketchup on everything ..this too can be seen as a way of 'cleansing process' ..and she feels 'better after doing this..though becomes oblivious to the distress its causing you...
There are a few resources to seek in her treatment of this disorder (providing she is in agreeance with this) I have posted websites below for you to obtain a copy via Amazon.com ..she will need to work through this as has a step by step guide to help her work through this...
Aside from this she would have to seek the professional services of a qualified CBT therapist (Cognitive Behavioral Therapist ) Cognitive-behavioral therapy is based on the idea that our
cause our feelings and behaviors, not external things, like people, situations, and events. The benefit of this fact is that we can change the way we think to feel / act better even if the situation does not change...
This would be another option..but first she has to realize that she actually has a problem ..and so this is where you come in...
I do hope the this has been of help to you....if it has then please 'accept' my response as it does help to keep this valuable service going for you and others alike in the future...Please know my thoughts are with you in this...and I do hope that all goes well..
