DORSET is counting the cost of the most devastating storms to hit the coast for decades.
Now that the worst of the weather has passed, authorities have launched a major clean-up and repair operation.
It is estimated that the overall cost could run into many millions of pounds in repair bills and losses to the economy.
Dorset County Council says it will cost £7million to repair the highway network alone.
Beaches and seafronts have been devastated, hundreds of properties flooded and farmland unusable for many months.
AUTHORITIES in Dorset say they are now moving into a recovery phase after the county was battered by relentless storms.
A hurricane force storm struck on Friday evening causing chaos for many communities.
Dorset Police Chief Super-intendent Martin Hiles, pictured inset below, declared it a major incident, setting up and leading Operation Gale.
Describing the scale of the operation, he said: "It's unprecedented in terms of the weather.
"The issue that stands out most of all is how protracted this has been.
"It's been an extraordinary effort over the past few days."
Operation Gale enlisted the help of Dorset councils, the Environment Agency, the military, emergency services and volunteers.
A strategic meeting was held on Monday afternoon involving these services, chaired by Dorset County Council's corporate resources director, Paul Kent.
The meeting discussed individuals and businesses affected by the storms and environmental issues that have arisen as a result of the crisis.
Mr Kent said: "There are certain things we're not yet clear about.
"Where we've had river flooding, and the water has been at such a height that it's covered bridges, we don't even know if there's been damaged to those structures until the water subsides."
More than 400 properties in Dorset have been affected by flooding since December, including 40 businesses. The flooding has put 23,000 properties at risk.
Chief Supt Hiles said: "We've had no known loss of life and we've had no life changing significant injuries, albeit there have been people who have suffered minor injuries and of course the psychological effect of this extreme prolonged weather.
"As far as we know, there's been no significant damage to the critical infrastructure in Dorset."
Dorset Police confirmed 21,000 houses were initially without power on Friday evening, but this number was reduced to 11,000 by the following morning.
There are currently no significant power outages and the road network is 'recovering'.
Chief Supt. Hiles said everyone involved 'worked tirelessly' and that he was proud of the work achieved.
"I'd like to emphasise how proud I am of the people of Dorset pulling together and how proud I am of the voluntary agencies. I'm very grateful for the public services."
Despite cause for optimism, Chief Supt Hiles urged for caution, particularly around areas where landslips could occur.
He said: "We're not out of the woods yet. It's half-term.
"We have got the potential for landslips. Fossil hunters and tourists might not be so aware of what's been going on at the coast."
A dedicated helpline remains in place to support those affected by the storms. The number is 01305 22100.
Construction work suspended to repair
our roads
WORK on construction schemes across the county has been suspended to free up resources for Dorset's weather-ravaged roads.
The county council has spent more than £700,000 on tackling weather-related highways problems since Christmas Eve.
The long-term cost of repairs to the network is likely to be around £7 million.
Dorset County Council crews are being redeployed to help tackle road repairs, blocked ditches and drainage problems caused by recent torrential downpours and strong winds.
Construction projects suspended over the next couple of weeks include work on Portland Beach Road in Weymouth and the Pimperne School access road in Blandford. The Bradpole Cycleway in Bridport, improvements to East Street in Blandford and a cycleway extension on Black Lane in Blandford will also be delayed.
Council chiefs say that while the council is lobbying for extra government money to help with the repair bill, its immediate priority is to keep roads open and safe to use.
Andrew Martin, Dorset County Council's head of highways operations, said: "The current weather has made it very difficult to carry out some of our construction projects cost effectively and safely.
"Suspending construction work means more people will be available to tackle pothole repairs, clear out ditches and gullies, move fallen trees and ensure drainage systems are working properly.
"Even if the rain stops soon, we'll have still have a sizeable backlog of issues to sort out, so it makes sense to suspend or delay these construction schemes for a couple of weeks."
Suspension of the various highways work comes after boulders from Portland quarries were rolled into place at Preston Beach in Weymouth in an effort to shore up the sea defences.
The Environment Agency is spending £100,000 on the operation at Preston Beach alone.
Chesil Beach and Chiswell on Portland were also badly affected by the weather and Portland Beach Road has been closed many times due to flooding threats.
Prime Minister David Cameron also visited the island last Monday to discuss flood defences.
Cllr Hilary Cox, cabinet member for environment, added: "Our highways teams are putting all their efforts into ensuring that our residents suffer as little as possible from storm-damaged roads, and making it safe for people to travel."
Information signs will be displayed at construction sites where work is suspended or delayed. For more information call 01305 221020.
Neil Watson, a coastal engineer at the Environment Agency, said recent events had tested them to the limit.
He said that defences had held up well, despite being 'hammered'.
Mr Watson pointed to the number of stones that had been shifted from Chesil Beach.
"Last Thursday we lost a quarter of a million tonnes. There's probably another hundred thousand tonnes gone.
"We're going to have to work very hard to restore those defences.
"But you can be assured that people have been protected and the work over the past eight weeks to keep that beach in place with the army has been absolutely essential."
Lt Col. Chris MacGregor, Dorset military liaison officer, confirmed the military had been involved in West Bay, Portland and in Christchurch since Friday.
The military will work alongside the Environment Agency with the reconnaissance of flood defences over the next six weeks.
This is a project that would normally take up to two years.
He said: "Along the South Coast in Dorset here, we will also allow our aviation assets – our helicopters – to fly above the Jurassic Coast to conduct an aerial reconnaissance of that very vulnerable coastline."
He added the Olympics and Paralympics in 2012 provided agencies a great opportunity to work together, which helped when preparing against the storms.
Matt Reeves, representing Wessex 4X4 and other volunteer groups, said they were well prepared for the county's latest storms.
He said: "The voluntary agencies were involved in some of the preparation and planning for this event, which meant when the event did start we were in a good place to respond."
Mr Reeves confirmed 24 4x4 response teams were out across the county, helping authorities by providing reliable transport.
A number of rescue centres, some of which were set up by the local community, also received great support from the British Red Cross.
Mr Reeves was grateful for the help received. He said: "Thank you to all the volunteers across the county who came out."

Britney Spears and Kevin Federline clean up
Britney Spears and Kevin Federline cleaned themselves up and made an appearance at the SAG awards over the weekend. I don't think I've ever seen Kevin without a goatee, so this was probably a pretty big moment for him. Like the debut of his chin and upper lip skin or something. It's sad though, because as hard as they try, they just look like a bunch of hillbillies who got all dressed up to attend the fancy party. It doesn't matter how many times he shaves or how hard he tries to dress up, Kevin Federline will always be 'that douche in the nice suit.'

Wizard Of Oz Debuted 73 Years Ago Today
One of everyone's favorite movies is "The Wizard Of Oz", and on this day in 1939, it made its debut. The film propelled the career of 16 year old Judy Garland and became a classic film in American culture. I can still remember sitting on the gymnasium floor as a kid in second grade at Miller School (now Martin Luther King, Jr. School) in Utica as we watched it for the first time.
My daughter is an expert on all-things "Wizard Of Oz" and Judy Garland, and she even met one of the Munchkins! As you may know, every year the village of Chittenango celebrates the life of Oz author L. Frank Baum with Oz-stravaganza. To me, Margaret Hamilton as the Wicked Witch of the West and those flying monkeys are still two of the scariest villains ever on film.
Let's take a look at a scene from 1939's "Wizard Of Oz".

MANCHESTER United overcame a floodlight failure to win 1-0 at Fulham through a late Wayne Rooney goal on Saturday as Alex Ferguson's side went 10 points clear at the top of the English Premier League.
In an open first half the woodwork was rattled four times, with Bryan Ruiz hitting the post for Fulham and Patrice Evra, Fulham defender Brede Hangeland and Rooney all sending the ball against the frame.
A floodlight failure in the 43rd minute plunged Craven Cottage into darkness and forced the players off the pitch, but they returned to complete the first half after the lights came back on.
Rooney netted the winner in the 79th minute to send United well clear of Manchester City, which hosted Liverpool on Sunday.
Newcastle's new signing, Moussa Sissoko, completed a second-half brace with a last-minute winner to give the Magpies a 3-2 victory at home over Chelsea that prevented the visiting side from making ground on the top two.
Jonas Gutierrez put Newcastle ahead in the first half but Chelsea took a 2-1 lead with fine goals from Frank Lampard and Juan Mata. Sissoko equalised in the 68th minute before driving home his late winner.
''I don't need to say anything because his performance said it all,'' said Newcastle manager Alan Pardew. ''I remember watching him for Toulouse 14 months ago, and I thought he was the one for us.''
The loss left Chelsea six points behind City and 16 points behind Manchester United.
''There were too many mistakes,'' said manager Rafael Benitez.
Arsenal left it late to beat Stoke City 1-0 and move to within a point of the Champions League places.
Substitute Lukas Podolski settled the game in the 78th minute with a low free-kick that deflected off Geoff Cameron to wrong-foot goalkeeper Asmir Begovic.
At Goodison Park, Marouane Fellaini headed in an injury-time equaliser to earn Everton a 3-3 draw in a breathless game at home to Aston Villa, which once again failed to defend a lead to remain firmly entrenched in the bottom three.
''I thought we played well but didn't defend well,'' said Everton manager David Moyes.
Villa is now two points below fourth-bottom Reading, which won 2-1 at home to Sunderland to stay above the bottom three.
Jimmy Kebe scored both goals for the host, heading in an 85th-minute winner after Craig Gardner had cancelled out his early opener with a 29th-minute penalty.
Southampton conceded a last-minute equaliser in a 2-2 draw at Wigan, while Queens Park Rangers was held to a 0-0 draw by Norwich City.
On-loan Liverpool striker Andy Carroll scored only his second goal of the season to give West Ham United a 1-0 win at home to Swansea City.

Before I interpret anything, consider the following:
So, what do these numbers mean? First, quite obviously, Americans still do not favor big government. Although the classic "I don't want bigger government but don't cut the programs that I like" sentiment will always be present, polls consistently show that Americans fear bigger government the most.
In their comfy chairs in Nevada, Air Force drone operators are reportedly experiencing high-level of stress while murdering innocent civilians over the skies of Afghanistan, but not for that reason:
In one surprising finding that challenged some of the survey's initial suppositions, the authors found limited stress related to a unique aspect of the operators' jobs: watching hours of close-up video of people killed in drone strikes. After a strike, operators assess the damage, and unlike fighter pilots who fly thousands of feet above their targets, drone operators can see in vivid detail what they have destroyed.
The source of stress? Long hours.
Obviously, the Liberty Movement is made up of all types of ideologies, all unified in opposition to paternalistic government and many unified in their ultimate end goal: libertarians, Austrian economists, Objectivists, capitalists, minarchists, paleoconservatives, classical liberals, and even some breeds of anarchists are part of this liberty-based coalition.
On their own, statists have been generally ineffective in implementing their policies throughout history. Any progress that statists do make, however, is often the result of error on the part of their opponents - of supporters of liberty offering up inadequate defenses for their position, thus allowing the statists to gain more ground than they would otherwise have.
So with that in mind, it is important for us to wonder: is there a wrong way to defend liberty?
For your consideration, I offer this essay on Milton Friedman - no doubt a lover of liberty himself but, possibly, a prime example of what an inadequate defense of liberty looks like:
On the one hand, I regard the basic human value that underlies my own beliefs as tolerance based on humility. I have no right to coerce someone else because I cannot be sure that I am right and he is wrong. On the other hand, some of our heros…people who have, in fact, done the most to promote libertarian ideas, who have been enormously influential, have been highly intolerant as human beings and have justified their views, with which I largely agree, in ways that I regard as promoting intolerance.

This holiday season, I came up with a not-so-original idea to use silver as my trademark gift. Not only is it an educational tool that brings up questions about investing and the future of the dollar-based system, but it's also worth a nice chunk of change. As we speak I'm packing for a family get together where I'll be presenting my father with a nice 1 oz. bar of silver. It's worth cash if he wants to cash it in, possibly even more cash if he wants to hold on to it for a while, and is a great collector's item if he chooses to see it that way. I'm sure he will be thrilled!
The average spending habits of individuals, around Christmas, add up to about $650. If you take today's silver prices and divide that up, you've got a gift for over 20 people on that list. Just think, people are getting gift cards, scarves, new socks, and toys (all wonderful and thoughtful, of course) but when they open your gift, even if they don't appreciate it in the moment they'll hopefully realize soon enough that you've given them something to learn from.
Let's not forget though, with the economy at its worst in decades, there will surely be deals on silver out there that are so good you should avoid them. An article I recently read offers up the great idea of buying your silver or gold through a local coin shop. I wholeheartedly agree that having your precious metal physically in your possession after the transaction can be soothing and exciting! However let's not discount the growing popularity and convenience of online shopping. Buying expensive items online can feel like risky business, however with the secure pay options and things like PayPal, your $650 in silver rounds should be a safe precious metals buying experience.
One thing to make note of: Be sure that your online bullion dealer delivers to your house. Do not purchase gold or silver for someone for Christmas if it's going to be held in a vault or account somewhere. First, because it's tacky to not have the gift present, and second, because one little round probably won't be enough to have its own safety box. A company that offers to hold the PM's while issuing a certificate should be checked out thoroughly to make sure the metal is actually in existence.
The good thing about online bullion buying is the lack of salespeople pulling you in different directions over the phone as you make your purchasing decisions. However, beware of websites with red flags like "confiscation proof" labels or hype over a government-issued collector's coin. Before your start hunting for the best deals on your silver gifts, find the scams out there before they find you; dig into Peter Schiff's Gold Scam Report that will make your gift buying holly-jolly like the rest of the season!
Believe me, your friends and family will love the gift that keeps on giving!

Remember when you were young and there was always that one kid on the playground that had to complain about everything? "Mom! The slide has dirt on it!... Mom! I can't push myself on the swing!... Mom! I stepped in a puddle and now my shoes are dirty!"
Well now that kid has grown up (sort of) and he spends his free time complaining - not to his mother, this time, but to the government.
And here we have just another example of government paternalism hard at work while issues like the economy are simply "overlooked."
On Tuesday December 13th, the FCC approved new rules which would require all television commercials to be broadcast at the same average volume of the program they punctuate. Those TV providers who do not comply will face fines. Since 2008, the FCC has received close to 6000 complaints for loud commercials, which caused FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski to state affirmatively, "This is an issue people care about."
Is he serious? Find out here.
As is now (hopefully) increasingly common knowledge, our numerous occupations in the Middle East and Africa were not sparked by those countries attacking us. Rather, with the possible exception of the War in Afghanistan — which has lasted an outrageously long time with huge costs of both blood and treasure, our 5+ wars are unwarranted wars of aggression rendered unconstitutional by their lack of official declaration by the Congress and unaffordable by our $15 trillion national debt.
The CIA estimates there are fewer than 100 members of al Qaeda left in Afghanistan, and yet we linger with tens of thousands of troops and hundreds of billions of dollars spent. Recall also that many of the people we're fighting there we were training just a few decades years ago, possibly including even bin Laden himself.
We're finally pulling out of Iraq, left unstable and arguably more dangerous than we found it — not to mention the hundreds of thousands of excess civilian deaths our intervention has caused there.
In Libya, we're not really sure who we supported or if the new government will even be friendly to us. Many of the rebels we helped are backed by al Qaeda, our enemies just a few countries away.
In Pakistan, our drone operations are permitted to kill 50 civilians — including women and children — for every one terrorist they get, and no one is required to report to the public who is killed.
In Somalia, we're engaging in covert operations in a dangerous and morally dubious situation which is none of our business and stretches our military — already posted in 900 bases in more than 130 nations around the world — almost thinner than it can stand.
Now, one might argue that it's somehow OK for the U.S. to engage in this kind of global military expansion, because we're the good guys, right? But, as I've shown, in many cases we haven't the foggiest clue who the good guys are, and often end up doing more harm than good to our own defense in the long term. Perhaps more importantly, how would we like it if we were on the other end of our clumsy, bloody, and expensive foreign policy? A little consideration of the golden rule might go a long way.

Whyteleafe hit four goals for the second consecutive match in the Kent League Premier Division, this time putting Fisher to the sword at Church Road.
A Ryan Maxwell penalty, plus goals from Paul Scott, former Sutton United midfielder Michael Abnett and an down goal saw Fisher beaten 4-1.
A heavy shower moments before kick off made the pitch very slippery and a few players struggled to stay on their feet early on but as the match wore on the pitch improved and the players came to terms with the conditions.
Both sides had shots early on in the game but neither keeper seemed particularly troubled.
For Leafe, Che Stadhart had a shot blocked by a Fisher defender on six minutes and at the other end Marvin Alebiosu shot from distance was well wide of Joe McLoughlin's goal.
Whyteleafe's forward line pairing of Stadhart and Scott looked to be the more menacing particularly with Abnett in support.
Some good work from these players culminated in an untidy opening goal on 19 minutes, when the ball was scrambled in having hit the post, rebounding off a defender and ricocheting off Scott's knee into the net.
The match became fairly scrappy and Fisher had their fair share of the possession as Whyteleafe players slipped around - but they doubled their lead as the visitors appeared to be getting the upper hand.
Stadhart broke free and turned the ball passed Billy Hensman only for the keeper Hensman to bring him down. Ryan Maxwell took the penalty kick and despatched it in his customary manner.
As the first half wore on the visitors' heads dropped a little and Leafe looked more in control, focusing their build up work on the right hand side with Bentley Graham in particular seeing a lot of the ball.
Whyteleafe could have increased their lead a minute after the restart when Scott beat Fisher's risky offside trap but his shot went wide of the left upright.
The visitors continued to plug away they eventually made a breakthrough to make the home supporters a little anxious.
A free kick was awarded down near the touch line which Adam Wadmore struck firmly. Only he will know whether it was intended as a strike on goal or a misdirected cross into the box but it evaded everyone, struck the underside of the bar and went in.
Whyteleafe still looked the more likely team to score with Graham and substitute Jay Garrick having strike on goal which came to nothing.
But a minute after Garrick's effort looped over the bar, Abnett found the Fisher defence opening up in front of him and Hensman running out to him.
Abnett deftly lifted the ball up and over the oncoming keeper and it dropped delightfully into the open net.
From then on Leafe took control, but a Scott shot five minute before time looked to be the closest anyone was going to come to adding to the score.
However, in added on time another substitute, Ollie Thornton fresh from the Whyteleafe Youth team, had time to cross the ball which was turned into his own net by Jordan Clark.
Leafe travel to Sevenoaks this weekend.

Locally Grown Theatre makes it up at improv fundraiser
There was something funny going on Friday at River Oaks Golf Course. The members of Locally Grown Theatre threw away the script and delivered their first public improv performance.
For their "Improv Olympics" fundraiser, the three male and three female performers gave the audience more than an hour's worth of silly and outlandish skits, songs and game show parodies.
The first part of the show spoofed the Olympics, which featured such sports as synchronized household chores and competitive patty cake. On a "Dating Game" segment, the three bachelors — Logan Green, Adam Caughey and John Rigg — adopted character quirks suggested by the audience. Laura Beard, Stephanie Caughey and Tracy Caponigri did the same for their turn as bachelorettes.
This bunch made the difficult art of improvisation look fun as well as easy. Their high-energy performance drew plenty of laughs.
If you missed Friday's performances, there will two more at 7 and 10 p.m. Jan. 24. Tickets are $10. For more information, visit www.locallygrowntheatre.org.

In the last week, Andy McKenna has bombarded Illinois airwaves with commercials focusing on Kirk Dillard's appearance in a Barack Obama campaign ad.
But an analysis by the Jim Ryan campaign obtained by Marathon Pundit shows that McKenna has 97 donors who contributed $444,950 to Obama in recent election cycles.
In an odd bit of symmetry, those donors gave McKenna $432,400 from July 1, 2009 to Jan. 22, 2010.
And those same donors contributed $269,908 to other Democrats, including Harry Reid, Rahm Emanuel, Chuck Shumer, Hillary Clinton, Alexi Giannoulias as well as the Democratic National Committee.
The "Combine," the bipartisan Illinois sleaze machine, rolls on.
But Illinois voters can stop it.

Andy McKenna: Awash in Obama money
3 comments:
- Brian said...
No comment on Jim Ryan's ties to Stu Levine. Doesn't sound like balanced journalism.
- John Ruberry said...
Jim has said numerous times he was unaware of Levine's double life. Also, Jime never appointed Levine to a state board.
- Crazy Politico said...
The other question, besides Brian's would be how much have those Obama donors give other Republicans?
I've gotten so tired of all of the "establishment" GOP candidates that I'm probably pulling my vote from McKenna and going with Andrzejewski.

Along with the project Pedras Salgadas Park by architects Luís Rebelo de Andrade and Tiago Rebelo de Andrade, came the challenge of creating an object that could recreate the fantasy of the tree houses.
The project for these houses was developed in partnership with the Modular System Company. The idea was to get an object that would be far away from the orthogonality and from pre-established concepts associated with the modular construction.

Do you manually disabled them or do you used the safemode (help/restart with addons disabled) ?
The Firefox safemode does more than only disabling extension....
Yes, I manually disabled add-ons and extensions. However, I just now tried the Help/Restart in Safe Mode and the result was exactly the same.

Profiting from recession, payday lenders spend big to fight financial reform
The influential $42 billion-a-year payday lending industry, thriving from a surge in emergency loans to people struggling through the recession, is pouring record sums into lobbying, campaign contributions, and public relations – and getting results.
As the Senate prepares to take up financial reform, lobbyists are working to exempt companies that make short-term cash loans from proposed new federal regulations and policing. In state capitals around the country, payday companies have been fighting some 100 pieces of legislation aimed at safeguarding borrowers from high interest rates and from falling into excessive debt.
Last year, as the U.S. House drew up a financial reform bill, some lawmakers who were courted by the companies and received campaign contributions from them helped crush amendments seeking to restrict payday practices, a review by the Huffington Post Investigative Fund has found.
The failed amendments would have capped payday interest rates – which reach triple digits on an annualized basis — and would have limited the number of loans a lender could make to a customer. Working largely behind the scenes, the industry ended up dividing the Democratic majority on the 71-member House Financial Services Committee.

When it comes to sport, Australian fans are some of the greatest die-hards going around.
They keep dying hard even when the performances of the athletes in the sports have, metaphorically and thoroughly, carked it completely. Maybe for decades at a time.
If there is a field in which the Australian support dies harder than in any other endeavour, it may well be tennis.
Going back past the Molik years to the Dokic dynasty, and even beyond the dawn of civilisation and/or pay TV, unto the Mandlikova monarchy, Australia's tennis fans – many of whom by now were being routinely installed in commentary booths and other handy media outlets – refused to believe there was a time, or single tournament in which ''we''* did not have a ''rising star'' who was ''poised on the brink'' to ''win one for Astraya''. No matter how obviously this was not the truth.
(* ''We'' being the Commonwealth of Australia, plus anyone in a personal relationship with one of our tennis players, and possibly, under exceptionally lean circumstances, Marcos Baghdatis.)
But fortunately, hard-won lessons have been learnt.
So this week, when Nick Kyrgios had a couple of significant wins at Wimpleston, the first thing everyone did, after a quick national time-out to learn how to say his surname properly, and getting out of the way before Bewdy Newk stampeded all over his moustache to embrace the cause, was declare he was pretty much bound to go ''all the way''.
And then, when he was KO'd, that Australia was on the inevitable verge of a whopping tennis dynasty, led by Kyrgios and super friends, forever and ever, amen. E.g. the ABC News headline: ''Nick Kyrgios's heroics have reignited the faith in the future of Australian tennis.''
Clearly the expectations of millions of Australian worshippers can never act as a massive barnacle, dragging their would-be idols down. They can only act as a fire to inflate their proverbial hot air balloons with tremendous gas to fly higher. Just an incredible amount of gas.

Fast forward to 1852. Nothing memorable happened to Thoreau that summer, spent living in his cabin on Walden Pond. Nevertheless, he meticulously recorded every detail in his journal: the news of the day, the timing of floral blooms—even the color of the dirt. As the first days of June passed, these mundane events—from the arrival of visitors to a "unique walk" on a mountain—took on monumental significance, if only because Thoreau had the good sense to notice them. Years later, his journal still remains, and that short vernal chronicle serves as a helpful reminder, teaching the lessons that every bored kid has to relearn each summer: to stop and smell the roses.
"The moving clouds are the drama of moonlight nights and never-failing entertainment for nightly travelers. You can never foretell the fate of the moon--whether she will prevail over or be obscured by clouds half an hour hence. The traveler's sympathy with the moon makes the drama of the shifting clouds interesting. The fate of the moon will disappoint all expectations." - June 2, 1852
You can read more extracts from Thoreau's journal here.

PONY Baseball and Softball is proud to announce the formation of a new league, the Champions League™. The newest league in the PONY family is for children with special needs. It was unanimously adopted at the PONY Baseball and Softball International Board of Directors on October 13, 2009.
While many of our leagues have had some type of Champions League™ for years, PONY has officially organized this opportunity for children with special needs. The new division was hosted by Major League Baseball and debuted at the 2009 All Star game Fanfest activities in St. Louis, Missouri. Abraham Key, President and CEO was present to kick off the activities. This new division was approved by the International Board at its Executive Committee meeting in March and will officially be a part of the 2010 season. It was developed to help the children with special needs as they pursue their dreams of team sports in one of America's favorite pastimes. PONY has always participated in promoting the development of this type of league through its Friendship games at tournaments around the world---now the Champions become the official division.
Activities for the members of the Champions League™ beginning on Sunday, July 12 included playing at the America's Center which hosted Fanfest as well as playing one inning game against the Challengers of the Little League program on Monday, July 13. This one inning game, of course, resulted in a tie score. It was a thrill for them to play in Busch Stadium, to see their names in print, and to see themselves on the video screen that showcases some of Busch Stadiums biggest players. Hall of Famer, Tony Gwynn was part of the cheering committee and greeted each player as they reached home plate. The Champion's Pledge was written and read by Corey Miller, son of Steve Miller. It will become part of the program as it moves forward.
This particular team that represented the Champions League™ was from Herrin, Illinois, and began five years ago with two players and has now grown to more than 35. The group plays every Thursday night and begins in early spring through summer. Steve Miller, PONY Baseball and Softball, North Zone Vice President, and his family began the program after Steve returned from a tournament in Joplin, Missouri for USA Baseball. He could not imagine that the program would not work in southern Illinois and began to contact the local newspapers, television and radio stations looking for players. Three years later, a second team was developed in southern Illinois as well.
PONY will develop and finalize plans for the language and procedures necessary to create these leagues on an international level. Protect Our Nation's Youth represents all children and young adults regardless of ability.
Registration for the Champions League™ can only be done on-line at http://www.pony.org/. Click on the registration tab and follow the registration instructions. If you need assistance, please call PONY at 724-225-1060.
The cost of registering your Champions League™ is $50.00 NOW $0.00 per league, regardless of how many teams are in the league. We wanted to keep the cost to a minimal and agreed that this fee was reasonable
Below represents some of the highlights of the weekend. PONY Baseball and Softball are proud to present the Champions!
In 2010 we intend to introduce the new Champions League™ to our membership. We plan to do this Starting at our Zone, Region, Section, District and League President's meetings starting in October 2009. We plan to place a narrative of the Champions League™, the rules and regulations and the Champions Pledge on our web site. We plan to send an e-mail to all of our leagues explaining the Champions League™ and the benefits for participation.
In 2010 we plan to have two (2) Champions League™ games in Anaheim, California in July at the Major League Baseball All Star Game. We also plan to have a Champion's Game at multiple baseball World Series and softball National Championship venues as well as numerous games played throughout the United States and possibly several other countries as well.
PONY will develop a long range plan for the language and procedures necessary to create The Champions League™ on an international level but we need your help. Does your community have a Champions League™ already? If so help us enhance the rules and guidelines by forwarding your information to email@example.com. Protect Our Nation's Youth represents all children and young adults regardless of ability.

"You just can't kidnap a guy and take his things… That is SO illegal!"
Well, now we know what a low-budget Michael Bay movie looks like: pretty much exactly like all of his other movies, with lots of bikini babes and brawny guys and weirdo humor, just with fewer robots and car chases. But the new trailer for Pain & Gain, Bay's first film since 1995's Bad Boys (and also his very first movie) to cost less than $75 million, also looks pretty danged good. Mark Wahlberg stars as a bodybuilder who's seen "a lot of movies," and decides to kidnap a millionaire to break himself out of financial ruin, along with his two friends Anthony Mackie (Captain America: The Winter Soldier) and Dwayne Johnson. We're digging the cast's chemistry, The Rock's naive vulnerability and the energy that Bay is giving a familiar movie conceit, the kidnapping gone awry.
Check it out for yourselves, courtesy of MichaelBay.com, and let us know what you think. Pain & Gain hits theaters April 26, 2013.

AN accounts manager stole £70,000 from a tyre and recovery firm over an 11-year period.
Suzanne Manley siphoned the sums from Carterton Tyres between January 2000 and February 2011, Oxford Crown Court heard yesterday.
She also exposed them to £12,500 in penalties from HM Customs & Revenue for late VAT returns because of her actions.
Manley, now of Bracebridge Heath, Lincolnshire, pleaded guilty to a count of theft, one of transferring criminal property and one of fraud.
All three related to the Carterton-based company, which provides agricultural and everyday tyre replacement services, as well as breakdown and accident recovery.
The theft charge related to £70,000 in cash taken over 11 years, the court was told. Transferring criminal property related to £41,287 being moved between August 3, 2005 and February 18, 2011.
The fraud count was in relation to the abuse of her position as manager of the company accounts.
The case was adjourned until Thursday for a pre-sentence report.

Ear, Nose, and Throat Disorders
Maybe a pimple in my inner ear
Usually every 6-9 months or so, I get a pimple or something swell up in my inner ear with extreme pain. It usually swells to the point of closing up my canal. On one ocassion last year, I went to the ER and had to have the swelling excised. After the doctor cut the boil/cyst/pimple, the normal puss and blood was Q-tipped out....man was that painful, partially due to the fact that the shot ingredients were unable to penetrate through the puss to the nerve endings (so the Dr says). The doctor also excised a growth from the cyst/boil/?? Now its here again, albeit not as bad, but here nonetheless---any ideas what this could be?
There are glands in this area that can sometimes become infected. A small cyst may form and can sometimes recur if it is not completely removed. I suggest you see an otolaryngologist. You will need to get a biopsy to make sure the lesion is benign and not malignant, and then more definitive therapy can be recommended.

text: Failing to learn from the colossal '90s bomb that was Carolco's Cutthroat Island, Disney commissioned another big budget pirate movie in the 2000s. Treasure Planet (2002) ambitiously combined hand-drawn 2D animation with advanced 3D computer graphics and the storyline of children's classic Treasure Island, which was re-written to ditch the pirate galleons and tropical islands for hoverboards and flying ships. The movie took four-and-a-half years to create, with over a thousand people involved in its production. It was bold, it involved a huge amount of effort from a small army of crew members, and it was an utterly insipid idea which made less than a quarter of what it cost to make in the US, losing up to $70 million worldwide. It just goes to show that Johnny Depp is the only one who can get away with this sort of cutthroat caper in a Disney movie nowadays.

You win some, and you lose some. The Appalachian State University football team got its taste of it last week, when wide receiver Rashad Canty from Riverdale, Ga., a three-star recruit. decommited and
announced he was going to Vanderbilt instead.
Well, the table turned in App State's favor on Tuesday when it landed a good recruit in three-star wide receiver Shaedon Meadors from Duncan, S.C. Meadors, 6-foot-2 and 180 pounds from Brynes High School, chose the Mountaineers over Old Dominion.
Meadors revealed his commitment on Twitter Tuesday afternoon. Meadors caught 85 passes for 1,866 yards and 33 touchdowns last season. Meadors was teammates with quarterback Shuler Bentley at Brynes.
Bentley, who has verbally commited to ODU and will make an official visit this weekend, was the 2012 and 2013 South Carolina Gatorade Player of the Year.
Meadors had offers from Wake Forest, App State, Marshall, Temple, Tulane, Toledo and Charlotte. He narrowed his choices to App and ODU.
National Signing Day will be Wednesday, February 5.

Do you need an ipad or kindle?
I love reading books. I honestly can't get enough books, I am always looking for new books, and amazon orders are constantly coming in. I have finally set up a budget for my books for personal and for work. I think this can be a helpful think.
While I was on holidays a few weeks ago, I noticed a lot of people with ipads and with kindles. Now, I don't really need either but I think that owning one would be practical. I talked to a man who was living in the condo that my family was staying at and he had both the ipad and kindle. Initially, I thought he was crazy for having two devices. He said that if he wanted to read a magazine, or surf the web he would use the ipad, if he wanted to read a book he would use the kindle. This really got me thinking. So, below I came up with a list of things each one could do.
The ipad
- Can surf the web.
- You can email with it.
- You can watch videos on it in full hd retina display.
- Play games
- It is light
- It can store up to 3,500 books
- It can read pdf's
Looking at both devices side by side is not fair. The price point between the two is almost $400 dollars. Micahel Hyatt does a great job breaking the differences down here. In the near future I will purchase an Amazon Kindle. I love reading, and I enjoy reading a ton of paperback fiction. A lot of these books are throw aways after. Having a Kindle would give me a way of storing them digitally for later. To be honest it is also the price. I can afford the Kindle.
Do you use an e-Reader? If so, which one and why?

Perth-based internet service provider iiNet has narrowly avoided a first strike on its remuneration report in a shock protest vote against the current sharemarket darling.
A total of 16,474,610, or 23.3 per cent, of votes were cast against the remuneration report, which awarded chief executive Michael Malone a 25 per cent increase in total pay to $1.29 million, plus up to $1.71 million in additional long term incentives over the next two years.
During fiscal 2012, iiNet delivered its shareholders a total return of 23 per cent.
The company's share price is up more than 45 per cent this year amid positive broker commentary and rising investor enthusiasm about the company's ability to expand margins and increase market share under the levelled playing field of the national broadband network.
Last year rival internet service provider TPG Telecom emerged with a 7.24 per cent stake in the company, triggering speculation of a full blown takeover bid.
It remains unclear whether TPG Telecom voted against the remuneration report. The company was not immediately available for comment.

Lesnar debuted on WWF television on the March 18, 2002 episode of Raw, the night after WrestleMania X8, coming through the crowd and attacking Al Snow, Maven, and Spike Dudley during the course of a match. He was accompanied by Paul Heyman, who was seen giving instructions to Lesnar. When the brand extension was introduced in the WWF, Lesnar was drafted to the Raw brand. Later, Heyman was confirmed to be Lesnar's agent and gave Lesnar the nickname "The Next Big Thing". Brock's first feud was with the Hardy Boyz. Lesnar and Jeff Hardy squared off at Backlash in Lesnar's first official televised match. He won the match by knockout. The next night on Raw Lesnar faced off against Matt Hardy, defeating him in the same fashion. At Judgment Day, Lesnar once again gained the upper hand on the Hardy Boyz before tagging his partner, Heyman, in to make the pin. In June 2002, Lesnar won the King of the Ring tournament, defeating Rob Van Dam in the final round. This victory earned him a shot at the WWE Undisputed Championship at SummerSlam. On July 22, Lesnar joined the SmackDown! brand. After a quick feud with Hollywood Hulk Hogan in August 2002, Lesnar began feuding with the Undisputed Champion The Rock. At the main event of SummerSlam, Lesnar defeated The Rock to become the WWE Undisputed Champion. With his victory at age 25, Lesnar became the youngest WWE Champion in history (a record that was previously held by The Rock and stands to date). With the WWE Undisputed Championship being defended on both brands, Raw General Manager Eric Bischoff expected Lesnar to be able to return to Raw the following night. However, SmackDown General Manager Stephanie McMahon announced that Lesnar's contract only required him to defend the title on SmackDown!, forcing Bischoff to establish a new world championship for his brand. With the new World Heavyweight Championship on the Raw brand, the now disputed WWE Undisputed Championship simply became known as the WWE Championship.
Lesnar's rapid rise to the top of WWE in 2002 led to a feud with The Undertaker, which involved a match at Unforgiven. It ended in a double disqualification leading to Lesnar retaining the title. The next month, at No Mercy, he faced The Undertaker again, this time in a Hell in a Cell match. Leading up to the match, Lesnar broke the Undertaker's hand with a propane tank. Despite Heyman begging McMahon not to let The Undertaker use his cast as a weapon, the request was denied and the match went on as planned. In a match that saw both wrestlers and even Heyman covered in blood, it ended when Lesnar reversed an attempted Tombstone piledriver into his finishing F-5 maneuver for the win. Six days after his Hell in a Cell match with The Undertaker, Lesnar successfully retained his WWE title in a Handicap match with Heyman at the Rebellion pay-per-view against Edge.
Lesnar's next opponent was The Big Show. Heyman was convinced more than anyone that Lesnar could not win, trying to talk him out of defending the title. Lesnar refused and lost the championship in Madison Square Garden at the Survivor Series pay-per-view to Big Show, Lesnar's first pinfall loss in WWE. When the champion tried to pin the 500-pounder following an F-5, he was betrayed by Heyman who pulled the referee out of the ring allowing Big Show to capitalize and win the title. As a result, Lesnar became a fan favorite. Following Survivor Series, Heyman made it clear that Lesnar would not get a rematch, even going so far as to sneak a special clause in his contract. At the Royal Rumble event in January 2003, Lesnar defeated The Big Show in a quallification match. Lesnar later entered the Rumble as the No.29 entrant where he eventually won by eliminating The Undertaker.
After winning the Royal Rumble match, Lesnar spent the next two months in a scripted feud with WWE champion Kurt Angle, who Lesnar had helped win the title and who was represented by Paul Heyman. Angle had Heyman, and Team Angle (Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas) behind him, but Lesnar overcame these opponents. Lesnar regained the WWE Championship in the main event of WrestleMania XIX. Toward the end of the match, he botched a shooting star press; in this match he overestimated the distance he was capable of jumping for the move and under-rotated, slamming his head into Angle's side and ribcage. This stunned Lesnar and forced Angle to improvise the finish of the match. Lesnar suffered a severe concussion from the botched move.
Following WrestleMania, John Cena began targeting Lesnar for almost ending his career (by using the F-5 to propel his leg into a ring post) after a previous match between the two. This led to Cena receiving a title match at Backlash in which Lesnar successfully retained the title. Earlier at the Backlash pay-per-view, Big Show had injured Rey Mysterio badly, resulting in Mysterio being carried out on a stretcher. This injury led to Lesnar renewing his feud with Big Show, which led to a Stretcher match at Judgment Day for the title. Lesnar successfully retained his title with help from Rey Mysterio and a forklift. During the scripted rivalry, on SmackDown!, Lesnar lifted Big Show over in a Superplex, which caused the ring to collapse on impact. At Vengeance, Lesnar lost his title to Kurt Angle in a no disqualification Triple Threat match that involved Big Show.
Prior to SummerSlam, Lesnar became a villain by betraying Kurt Angle, leading to a rematch at the event. Lesnar lost to Angle when Angle made Lesnar tap out to the ankle lock. A second rematch between Lesnar and Angle, an Iron Man match, was later held on an episode of SmackDown!. Lesnar defeated Angle in a match that was said as one of the best in SmackDown! history. Angle slapped on the ankle lock with a few seconds remaining but Lesnar did not tap. Lesnar won with five falls to Angle's four, making him a three-time WWE Champion. Lesnar's first challenger for his newly won title was The Undertaker. Lesnar had previously cost Undertaker the title in a match against then-champion Kurt Angle, which granted him a shot at Lesnar's title. At No Mercy, Lesnar defeated Undertaker in a Biker Chain match. Lesnar realigned himself with Paul Heyman after Heyman became General Manager of SmackDown! and formed Team Lesnar with Big Show, Matt Morgan, A-Train, and Nathan Jones for a 10-man Survivor Series match at Survivor Series. In the climax of the match, Chris Benoit became the second person to make Lesnar tap out. Lesnar faced Benoit in a singles bout two weeks later for the WWE Championship on SmackDown!, where Lesnar won after Benoit passed out to Lesnar's debuting Brock Lock submission hold.
The Survivor Series event marked the first time Lesnar met Goldberg from the Raw brand, a man to whom Lesnar had been compared due to their similar physiques and undefeated streaks in wrestling. Lesnar claimed in a backstage interview that he could beat anybody in the world, leading to Goldberg interrupting the interview and introducing himself to Lesnar, shaking hands with him before leaving with a staredown. Lesnar followed this rivalry with a feud involving Hardcore Holly. In this storyline, Holly wanted revenge on Lesnar for legitimately breaking his neck during a previous match between the two in 2002. During that match, Lesnar went for a powerbomb, but Holly, who has gained a reputation of being uncooperative with rookies, supposedly sandbagged mid-lift so that Lesnar could not get him all the way up. Holly compounded the difficulty of the move by not lifting up at the waist. During the struggle, Lesnar ended up dropping Holly on his head, leaving him in need of neck surgery and out of action for a year. At the Royal Rumble in 2004, Lesnar defeated Holly to retain the WWE Championship. Later in the Royal Rumble match, Lesnar attacked Goldberg and delivered an F-5, enabling Kurt Angle to eliminate him.
In February, Lesnar faced Eddie Guerrero for the title at No Way Out. During the match, Goldberg interfered in the match, allowing Guerrero to capitalize and pin Lesnar after a frog splash to win the WWE Championship. The match set up an interbrand match for WrestleMania XX between Lesnar and Goldberg. During the feud with Goldberg, Lesnar was feuding with Raw's Stone Cold Steve Austin (who was shown suggesting to Goldberg that he attack Lesnar at No Way Out). When Lesnar attacked Austin on Raw and stole his four-wheeler, Austin was inserted as the special guest referee for the WrestleMania match. Behind the scenes, it was widely known that the match would be Goldberg's last in WWE. Only a week before WrestleMania, however, rumors surfaced that Lesnar, too, was leaving in order to pursue a career in the National Football League. As a result, Lesnar's match with Goldberg became a fiasco as the fans at Madison Square jeered both wrestlers with very loud and distinct chants of "na na, hey hey, goodbye" and "you sold out," with the crowd support mostly given to special referee Austin. Although Goldberg won the match, both men were given a Stone Cold Stunner by Austin on their way out.
On April 2, 2012, Lesnar returned to the WWE at the end of Monday Night Raw, attacking John Cena. The following week, general manager John Laurinaitis introduced Lesnar as the new face of the WWE, he then announced Lesnar would face Cena at the Extreme Rules PPV. Cena then interrupted and slapped Lesnar in the face, the two then brawled which resulted in Cena getting a busted lip. On April 16, it was announced, via the official WWE website, that Lesnar would face Cena in an Extreme Rules match. At the pay-per-view, Lesnar bloodied Cena with MMA-style strikes, but would ultimately lose the match.
The following night on Raw, Chief Operating Officer Triple H returned to confront Lesnar over his new contract demands, saying wouldn't be authorizing any of them. Lesnar would then attack Triple H, apply a Kimura lock and break his arm. On the May 7 episode of Raw, Paul Heyman, serving as legal representative for Lesnar, announced that Lesnar had (kayfabe) quit the WWE. The following week, Heyman announced that Lesnar was filing a lawsuit against WWE for breach of contract. At the No Way Out pay-per-view in June, Triple H challenged Lesnar, who was not present, to a match at SummerSlam, which Heyman refused on Lesnar's behalf the following night on Raw. On July 23, during the 1,000 episode Raw, Heyman accepted Triple H's challenge after his wife Stephanie McMahon assaulted him. Following this, Lesnar returned and had a brief brawl with Triple H before he was chased from the ring. In a psychological bid, Lesnar would break the arm of Triple H's best friend Shawn Michaels with the Kimura Lock on the August 13 episode of Raw. Six day later at SummerSlam, Lesnar defeated Triple H via submission. The next night on Raw, Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman released a Tout saying he was once again leaving WWE.
Lesnar returned to Raw on January 28, 2013, confronting Vince McMahon, who was just seconds away from firing Paul Heyman. Despite Heyman's pleas, Lesnar hit McMahon with an F-5, effectively breaking McMahon's pelvis. The following week, Vickie Guerrero revealed herself to be the one who signed Lesnar to a new contract. Afterwards, Lesnar confronted and attacked The Miz. On February 25, Lesnar interrupted a match between Paul Heyman and Vince McMahon, only to get into a brawl with a returning Triple H which resulted in Lesnar having his head split open and requiring 18 stitches. The following week, Triple H issued a challenge to Lesnar, requesting a rematch with him at WrestleMania 29, which Lesnar accepted but only after Triple signed a contract and Lesnar named the stipulation. The following week, after Triple H signed the contract and assaulted Heyman, the stipulation was revealed as No Holds Barred with Triple H's career on the line. Lesnar ended up losing the match after Triple H hit him with a Pedigree onto the steel steps. On the April 15 episode of Raw, Lesnar attacked 3MB (Heath Slater, Drew McIntyre, and Jinder Mahal) before Paul Heyman challenged Triple H to face Lesnar in a Steel Cage match at Extreme Rules, which Triple H accepted the following week. On May 19 at the pay-per-view, Lesnar defeated Triple H in the steel cage thanks to interference from Heyman. Lesnar returned on the June 17 episode of Raw, giving an F-5 to CM Punk. Despite the accusations from Punk, Heyman claimed that he was not behind Lesnar's attack on him. However, in July, Heyman turned on Punk, and claimed that Punk could not beat Lenar, which led to Lesnar making his return and attacking Punk on the July 15 episode of Raw. The following week on Raw, Punk challenged Lesnar to a match at SummerSlam, which Heyman accepted on Lesnar's behalf. On the August 5 episode of Raw, Lesnar came out and again brawled with Punk; Lesnar ultimately got the upper hand on Punk, despite Punk putting up a valiant effort. Punk then got revenge the following week by attacking Lesnar with a camera and a steel chair after Heyman tried to trap Punk by having him fight both him and Lesnar instead of the scheduled match of Punk versus Heyman. Six days later at SummerSlam, Lesnar defeated Punk in a No Disqualifications match. On the December 30 edition of Raw, Lesnar returned with Paul Heyman to announce his intentions to challenge the winner of the upcoming WWE World Heavyweight Championship match between Randy Orton and John Cena at the Royal Rumble. Lesnar then called out any wrestler who wanted to stop him, which resulted in Mark Henry answering the challenge and the two brawling until Lesnar ended the brawl with an F-5. The following week on Old School Raw, Mark Henry challenged him again only to have Lesnar dislocate his elbow with the Kimura Lock. Following this, Big Show came out and confronted Lesnar, which lead to a short physical confrontation between the two. Lesnar defeated Big Show at the Royal Rumble. On the February 24, 2014 episode of Raw, Lesnar received a contract to challenge anyone he wanted at WrestleMania XXX in consolation for not being able to compete for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. The Undertaker returned to confront Lesnar and accepted his challenge for a WrestleMania XXX match. Lesnar would ultimately end Undertaker's streak at the event, extending Undertaker's record to 21 wins and 1 loss.
On the July 21, 2014 edition of Raw, Triple H announced that Lesnar will face John Cena at Summerslam for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. At Summerslam, Lesnar defeated Cena to become the WWE World Heavyweight Champion. During the match, he delivered 16 German suplexes and two F-5s to Cena. On the August 19 episode of Main Event, Triple H announced that Cena would invoke his championship rematch clause against Lesnar at Night of Champions. Lesnar wound up being disqualified due to Seth Rollins interfering, but Cena thereafter prevented Rollins from cashing in his Money in the Bank contract. Lesnar returned on the December 15 episode of Raw, attacking Chris Jericho who was facing Paul Heyman in a Street Fight. Lesnar took Jericho out with an F5 and then interfered in the steel cage main event between John Cena and Seth Rollins, attacking Cena, helping Rollins to get the win. On the January 12th episode of Raw, Lesnar would be curb-stomped by Seth Rollins during their championship match contract signing that also included John Cena. The following week, Lesnar would open Raw, and called Seth Rollins out, demanding a fight. Later that same night after attempting to get his hands on Rollins, Lesnar would deliver F5s to Kane and Big Show, turning face for the first time since his WWE return, and also the first time since 2003. Lesnar retained the title at the Royal Rumble and it was announced he would defend the title against Rumble winner Roman Reigns at Wrestlemania 31. Lesnar lost the WWE World Heavyweight Championship after Seth Rollins cashed in his Money in the Bank contract while the match was in progress, making it a triple threat; Rollins pinned Reigns to win the title, turning Lesnar face the first time since 2003. he following night on Raw, Lesnar attacked Booker T, JBL, Michael Cole, and a cameraman when he did not receive his rematch, which led to Stephanie McMahon (kayfabe) suspending Lesnar indefinitely.
Lesnar then returned from his indefinite Suspension(storyline) on June 15th during an episode of Raw, and then being chosen by The Authority to face Rollins for the championship at Battleground, completing his face turn. On July 4 Lesnar made his first non-televised wrestling appearance for WWE since his 2012 return, when he faced Kofi Kingston at The Beast in the East live event in Tokyo, in a quick winning effort; he also fought off Kingston's New Day stablemates Big E and Xavier Woods after the match, delivering F5s to all three. On July 19 at Battleground, Lesnar dominated Seth Rollins, performing thirteen suplexes, but mid-pinfall, after performing an F5, was attacked by The Undertaker, causing a no contest with Rollins retaining his championship. This was initially reported as a "no contest" by WWE.com however Lillian Garcia announced the following night that it was a victory for Lesnar by DQ. Also that night, Lesnar was announced to face The Undertaker at SummerSlam, and a brawl broke out between the two until Lesnar was escorted away by security. Undertaker controversially defeated Lesnar; Undertaker tapped out to a Kimura Lock by Lesnar and the bell rang, but the referee did not see the tapout and allowed the match to continue. Lesnar then passed out to Undertaker's submission hold, Hell's Gate. The following night on Raw, Lesnar and Heyman challenged Undertaker to an immediate rematch, only for Bo Dallas to appear and mock Lesnar about his defeat at SummerSlam; Lesnar responded by knocking out Dallas with suplexes and an F5 at Heyman's request. At the Night of Champions pay-per-view, it was announced that Lesnar would get his rematch against the Undertaker at Hell in a Cell.
On October 3, Lesnar made his first house show appearance in the US in over a decade after he squashed the Big Show at WWE's Live from Madison Square Garden event. At the Hell in a Cell PPV, Lesnar defeated The Undertaker in a back-and-forth match after delivering a legal low-blow and a third F5 in the match to end their feud.
Lesnar faced Alberto Del Rio for the WWE United States Championship on December 19 at a house show at The Forum in Inglewood, California. The match ended in a disqualification when Del Rio's League of Nations stablemate Rusev interfered, but Lesnar was able to hold him off and delivered an F5 to Del Rio after the match.

At Royal Rumble, Lesnar was the number 23 entrant, eliminating four competitors before being eliminated by Bray Wyatt with the help of the Wyatt Family. On February 6, at a live event in San Jose, California, Lesnar defeated Rusev. On the February 8, 2016 edition of Raw, Lesnar was involved in the Fastlane contract signing alongside Roman Reigns & Dean Ambrose. Later on in the night Ambrose goaded Lesnar into a fight.

On the February 18 episode of Smackdown, Lesnar made his first Smackdown appearance in 12 years, attacking Reigns and Ambrose. He would ultimately lose at Fastlane after Reigns pinned Ambrose for the win. The next day, Lesnar attacked Ambrose in the parking lot as he was arriving at the arena.

On the July 7 edition of SmackDown, it was announced that Lesnar would be facing the returning Randy Orton at SummerSlam. On July 19, at the 2016 WWE Draft, Lesnar was drafted to Raw.

Lesnar then attacked Orton during his match the following night on SmackDown Live, delivering an F-5 to Orton.

On the October 10 episode of Raw, Paul Heyman, on Lesnar's behalf, challenged Goldberg to a fight after the pair had been feuding for several months through social media and during promotional work for the WWE 2K17 video game, which features Lesnar as the cover star and Goldberg as the pre-order bonus. Heyman stated that Goldberg was the one blemish on Lesnar's WWE career, as Goldberg had defeated Lesnar at WrestleMania XX in 2004. On the October 18 episode of Raw, Goldberg returned to the WWE after a 12-year absence and accepted Lesnar's request for a fight. On the October 24 episode of Raw, Lesnar would go on to address Goldberg. The following day, their match was confirmed for Survivor Series on November 20, 2016.

On November 20 at Survivor Series, Lesnar was defeated by Goldberg who caught him off guard with a spear, before shoving him to the mat, and hit another surprising spear and finally a Jackhammer, with the match ending via pinfall in just 1 minute and 26 seconds. The next night, Goldberg declared himself the first entrant in the 2017 Royal Rumble match. The following week, Paul Heyman addressed the Survivor Series match, stating that they underestimated Goldberg, and that the match was a humiliation and embarrassment for him and Lesnar. He then stated that Lesnar would also be in the Royal Rumble as he has something to prove. On December 3, Lesnar defeated Rusev via pinfall at a house show in Mexico City.
