My first letter to the Editor
I got to write my first letter to a newspaper, that I remember…Knowing my activist upbringing i'm sure it's not the first time. But at least in recent memory. Thanks to the New Mexican for spurring me to action. Here it goes….
As a Santa Fe resident who is also the daughter of lesbians, I took issue with some of what the recent article pulled from the Chicago Tribune, in the Family section, titled " Kids of gay parents are pretty normal", had to say. Even the title itself is somewhat offensive. Would you run an article titled, " Kids of blacks/jews/mormons etc. are (pretty) normal" ? I doubt that would fly. It seems that even in an article that seeks to accept gay parenting, there is an inherently homophobic bias. I am straight myself, but dismayed to see the emphasis on " normality", which is I think code for heterosexual. This sends the message that gay parents should seek to raise conformist, " normal" and therefore straight kids, which is in itself homophobic. How about all parents seek to raise happy healthy children without regard to sexual orientation ? That's what my parents did and it worked out great.
The one part of the article that was the most important was in the last sentence. " The burden is not so much coming from our parents , but from the very people who claim to have our interests at heart." The hardest part about growing up with gay parents is dealing with other peoples prejudice. Similar, perhaps, to how the hardest part of being of color is other people's Racism. I would also have liked one of the people being profiled to have been from parents who were " out" when they were born or at least who hadn't grown up closeted and shameful, as my experience did not much mirror that of the featured subjects. I'd love to know what is inherently " lacking in stability"- Sprigg or "Chaotic" – Dobson about Gay parented households. My upbringing was neither unstable or chaotic.
The problem with maintaining that only families made up of a mom and a dad are valid is that not only does it discount my family but also all of those families headed by a grandparent or any another configuration, which in many communities are in the majority. They are setting themselves up as a moral elite, which does not bode well for the unity and health of our society. Maybe the New Mexican should source articles from a similarly progressive area to our own, or even better write them yourselves? I'd be happy to talk about my experience.
TA-DA!!!! The article on the whole reminded me of the messages even I put out, in the mid nineties- all that we are just like everyone else nonesense. These days I feel like " aren't we past that yet?!" …but I guess not. Also relates to that recent Ariel Levy article in the March 2nd issue of the New Yorker, the one about the Van Dykes. I liked that Lamar Van Dyke pointed out how infatuated with assimilation the current Gay mainstream is. The article " Kids of Gay Parents Are PRETTY normal" is the bastard step child of that. I am unimpressed that the city that has "Boystown", can't do better. At least the New Yorker is on board with the "Lesbian Nation" right ?

Financial Facts: Understanding the good faith estimate
Special to the Daily
Every mortgage that is closed has one item in common with all the other mortgages that are closed, that being a good faith estimate. This is a standardized form that all borrowers receive to view all the known costs associated with the mortgage.
The forms may differ a bit from one computerized mortgage program to the next, but all should have a full list of all the estimated costs the borrower will pay at the closing table.
On this form we can see the names of all the borrowers and the mortgage program that they have chosen. It will also have the purchase price, the amount of the requested mortgage and the all important interest rate.
Then the detail starts with the fees on the loan.
The fees are generally the appraisal fee and the mortgage investor fees. The dollar amount will vary from appraiser to appraiser and investor to investor, but these are fees that should appear on all estimates.
Then we move on to any escrows that are being collected on behalf of the borrower. Escrows are items such as real estate taxes and home owners insurance. The mortgage investor may collect these and then pay the bills for the borrower when they come due.
Title insurance fees are next. These cover the work by the title company to insure that the buyer is obtaining a property with no liens other than the ones they place on the property. The title company also files the necessary documents with the county for public record and makes sure the lenders' documents are properly signed.
Now comes the various other fees that can be very specific to the property itself. These are items such as local transfer taxes and home owners association fees. Please keep in mind that I do not make up these fees, but the fees are set by the developer, municipality or home owners association.
At the bottom on the good faith estimate is the estimated dollar figure that the borrower will need to bring to the closing. The final figure, down to the penny, is derived at by the title company. And hopefully this is available to the borrower a day or two prior to the actual time and date of the closing.
A word of caution to all borrowers, note that in the title of this article is the word estimate. I estimate all the known fees and this is based on my experience in this marketplace. Some mortgage lenders conveniently underestimate some of the fees to make their good faith estimate look a bit cheaper than other lenders' estimates. Remember, the fees are the fees and just because one lender may show a lower title fee, as and example, they do not set those fees. So if one GFE is lower than all the others, beware. Make a call to the mortgage lender and verify that the figures are close to the actual figures, not some dollar amount pulled out of the sky to make their GFE look a bit lower, as you will pay the correct amount at the closing and it is too late to cancel the deal with that lender.

Nice going man ! Lets see, your riding you bike at unsafe speeds, a cop chases you, you wreck, try to get back up and ride away again, and then have to get tackled by the cops. Ugh !!!
Steelers offensive lineman Barrett Brooks was jailed early Sunday after a motorcycle chase with police through the South Side.
The arrest occurred about 2:30 a.m. after Brooks, 34, illegally passed a moving police car on the right side while driving his Yamaha motorcycle in the 1700 block of East Carson Street, Pittsburgh police Sgt. Dennis Washington said.
The police officer then activated his car's lights and siren and chased Brooks for several blocks, Washington said.
The Steelers reserve lineman ran a couple of stop signs before losing control of his bike while trying to make a turn at 12th and Muriel streets, Washington said.
"He got up and attempted to get back on the bike and ride away, but the officer physically tackled him back down off the bike," Washington said. "I think (Brooks) was just worried about losing his job."
Brooks is listed by the Steelers at 6-foot-4, 325 pounds, although he came to training camp last week with a scale tucked under his arm, claiming to have lost 30 pounds.
Officer Juan Terry, who tackled Brooks, is about 6-foot-4, 260 pounds, Washington said.
"He's probably one of the biggest officers we have that works at the station," Washington said.
Police said Brooks did not appear to be injured. He was charged with fleeing and eluding, reckless driving, driving at an unsafe speed and stop sign violations. He was taken to Allegheny County Jail.
Teammates Joey Porter and Deshea Townsend were at the scene of Brooks' arrest, Washington said.
Brooks was not intoxicated and was not wearing a helmet, police said.
Steelers spokesman Dave Lockett said he was aware of Brooks' arrest, but had no further comment.
Brooks, a second-round draft pick out of Kansas State who played for the Philadelphia Eagles from 1995-1998, spent the last three seasons with the Steelers. He also played for the Detroit Lions in 1999-2000 and spent the 2001 training camp with the Cleveland Browns before being released.
Brooks, who is married with five children, played on special teams in all 16 regular-season games and all four playoff games during the Steelers' 2005-06 championship season. He also saw action as a reserve offensive tackle and left guard.

Even after all these years, fans can't get enough of watching David Beckham bend it like only he can.
His curling free kick sealed the result against the Vancouver Whitecaps last weekend and earned the fan vote as the AT&T Goal of the Week for Week 26, beating out teammate Juninho, who had an impressive strike of his own in the same match.
Wilman Conde's late equalizer in DC, another free kick by San Jose's Ramiro Corrales and the 100th goal by D.C. United's Dwayne De Rosario brought up the rear.
The award is Beckham's fourth Goal of the Week honor this season after Week 6, Week 10 and Week 19.
The Englishman now has a career-high seven MLS goals this season and his tally is even surprising him: "I'm not usually scoring that many, but I'll take it," he said after Saturday's match.
The AT&T Goal of the Week winner is determined by the total number of votes cast online and via text message.
For a complete Goal of the Week archive, click here.
1. David Beckham (LA), 32%
2. Juninho (LA), 24%
3. Wilman Conde (NY), 19%
4. Ramiro Corrales (SJ), 16%
5. Dwayne De Rosario (DC), 9%

Oneida's Ben Kallet places first in division at Mohawk Valley Junior Golf Tour event at Valley View
UTICA >> Oneida's Ben Kallet was all smiles coming off the course Monday afternoon, and for good reason. Kallet took first place with an overall score of 71 in the Mohawk Valley Junior Golf Tour event at Valley View Golf Course, the second event of the season.
"Everything just went great," said Kallet, grinning from ear to ear. "I putted well, birdied quite a few, drove the ball well.
"I don't know it all just went great."
One hole that went particularly well for Kallet was the par-five 17th, where he made it to the green in two shots to set up an eagle putt. He just missed, converting the next putt for one of his four birdies.
Bobby Davenport shot a 72 to place second behind Ben Kallet and Tommy Mandel's 74 was good for third.
Kallet's younger brother Jack didn't fare quite as well.
"Terrible," said the younger Kallet of his game after finishing his nine holes in the 12 and under group. "My stance is off, my putting was awful...there's a lot of things I need to work on."
But good or bad, there's no sibling rivalry on the course for the Kallet boys.
"I'm happy when he scores good," said Jack of big brother Ben. "And I think he's happy when I score good."
Jack's 51 was good for fourth in his division behind Zach Klein's 42, Michael Mandel's 44 and Jordan Joslyn's 47.
Camden's Evan Kessler also had a good day on the course, scoring 43 on the front nine and 41 on the back for a total score of 84 and fourth place in the 16-18 group.
"My drives were good," said Kessler. "A couple common mistakes on some holes...But overall I am happy with how I did.
"It's nice to get back out here and play some golf."
Kessler finished 13 shots behind Clinton's Michael Kalil, who shot a 71 to win the division. Dante Migliore's 79 was good for second and Austin Odell finished third with an 83.
Vernon-Verona-Sherrill's Oliva Evans also competed Monday morning, recording a 56 and a second-place finish in the girls 13-15 division. Dominique Bevivino placed first with a 49 and Carley Britton's 59 was good for third.
In the girls 16-18 division, Lexie Haehl shot a 94 to take first, followed by Anna Jandura-Cessna's 114 and Samantha Bossone's 106. In the 12 and under division Bailey Shoemaker's 50 was low score. Laura Allen shot a 66 to finish second and Gabrielle Papale placed third with an 86.
Camden's Chad and Brett Finch also competed, tallying a 107 and 99 respectively.

After years of a life of hedon-ism and drug addiction, he returned to the faith and for about a dozen years now he has been serving as a hieromonk (pastor-monk) in the Ukrainian Catholic Church.
Father Taras (Terry) Kraychuk, who currently lives the monastic life in the Derwent area, gave a partial testimony of his life at the Catholic Family Life Conference at Lac Ste. Anne July 1.
Born and raised in Winnipeg, Kraychuk was the child of a devout Ukrainian Catholic family that prayed together and attended Mass together. "I grew up in the faith but I drifted away from those roots," he told about 2,000 people attending the June 29-July 2 conference. "When I was about 15 or 16 I was into the drug scene."
As Kraychuk put it, he rejected the land of the Church and took off to find another land. He began seeking that which would satisfy him. "I wanted to experience all the excitement, all the drugs, all the partying, all that belongs with that kind of life."
When he was kicked out of high school he left the Church and his family and then, whole-heartedly embracing his passion to find meaning and happiness in life, became a biker and travelled throughout much of the United States and Canada.
He never stopped believing that God existed but essentially abandoned himself to fate. Any time he would get in trouble because of his lifestyle he would call on God. He constantly read his Gideon Bible believing that if he read it often, God would protect him from the police.
He followed his heart and ended up in southern California, feeling freer than ever. He had everything he had ever wanted. "I was living in a place where all my needs where met, selling drugs and making money."
But one rainy day as he looked through the window he came to himself. He felt empty and thoughts of suicide visited his mind.
"I really thought there was nothing to live for," he said. "I wanted to blow myself away because there was no reason; this is all absurd. This is all meaningless."
In that moment he heard a voice commanding him to take the Bible and read it. He opened it up to St. Paul's letter to the Galatians, where St. Paul lists those who will not make it to the kingdom of God: drunkards, fornicators, adulterers. He checked every item in the list.
Then he read that he could find salvation by repenting and following Christ. However, even at this point, Kraychuk didn't want anything to do with God or religion. "I don't want to become a Jesus freak," he thought.
But from that day, for a year and two months, the spirit stayed with him. "It's like the Lord sent an angel, a spirit that would speak to me." Every time Kraychuk was going to make a drug deal, the spirit would come to remind him his actions were against the law of God.
He ran away and went to Florida and then to Eastern Canada trying to shake what he thought was depression. When he returned to his buddies in California he become more involved in drugs and alcohol, to the point he would shake because of the chemicals he was taking into his body.
"My old buddies said, 'You've got to go or you are going to kill yourself.'"
He took their advice and returned to Winnipeg. On the second day on the bus between Utah and Idaho, two biker types came onto the bus and went to the back of the bus where Kraychuk was sitting. They started to talk, sharing their latest adventures with drugs and parties. But then they started to talk about the Lord and the Scriptures.
He realized that the same things that had happened to him had happened to one of the guys. "It was like looking in a mirror."
After the conversation had died down Kraychuk turned around in his seat and as he was sitting down he experienced the beginning of change in his life.
"It was Christ himself. And he said to me, 'Terry, there are two roads before you. You know where your road is going; you know where it leads. Now I'm offering you my road. You must choose."
Kraychuk knew then that he had to choose the Lord and so he said to him "I'll try to follow you."
As soon as he said that he went to the back of the bus and threw the drugs he was carrying into the toilet. He went back to his seat and started thinking about his drinking. He promised to try not to get drunk again. He immediately experienced an indescribable joy and realized Christ loved him in his total decadence.
The bus was filled with light and, as he looked outside, he saw God's creation with new eyes. He turned to the guy behind him and realized something had happened to him at the same time. They started to talk really loud. People came from the front of the bus to the back and sat down and listen to the pair. "That was the moment my life turned around."
After living in native missions in Northern Canada for some time, Kraychuk discerned the call to the priesthood and monastic life in the Ukrainian Catholic Church.
He studied at the Benedictine Seminary Christ the King in Mission, B.C., at the Holy Transfiguration Monastery in northern California and at Holy Spirit Ukrainian Greek Catholic Seminary in Ottawa before being ordained a priest in 2000.
Among other posts, Kraychuk served as superior of the Monastery of the Nativity of the Most Holy Theotokos and Ever-Virgin Mary in Orangeville, Ont., before coming to Alberta.

A producer of the war story "The Hurt Locker" will not be allowed to attend the Academy Awards because of e-mails he sent urging academy members to vote for his movie. But he will receive an Oscar if his film wins best picture.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the action Tuesday against producer Nicolas Chartier, who violated Oscar rules that prohibit mailings promoting a film by disparaging another.
Chartier sent e-mails seeking support for "The Hurt Locker," ''not a "$500 million film" — an obvious reference to best-picture contender "Avatar." Chartier apologized in a subsequent e-mail.
While Chartier cannot attend Sunday's ceremony, he would receive his Oscar later if "The Hurt Locker" wins.

Looking To Market Your Home?
Marketing Your Home With A Monmouth County Real Estate Agent.
So, you have decided you are ready for a change, you're determined, you're motivated and serious about the change, perhaps circumstances being what they are, you have to make a change, you have to market your home. Now is the time to contact a Monmouth County Real Estate Agent.
You'll notice, I prefer the term "Market" as opposed to "Sell" as I am not an advocate of putting the cart before the horse. Of course the ultimate goal is the sale of your home but in these times, how does that happen? Just like everything else in our lives, this process has also changed, evolved and those in a position to purchase your home go about the business of shopping for homes quite differently, from even a few short years ago. As a Real Estate Agent Professional, "I'm of the opinion, marketing is key!"
In most cases, choosing a Monmouth County Real Estate Agent, interviewing agents is paramount. This is the most important decision you will make in your business alignment, the business of marketing your home. Agents, not agencies Sell homes but of course every working agent by law has to be aligned with an agency.
Agencies are the foundation for the business of Real Estate, the governing body for their roster of agents. All agencies have a marketing approach, all agencies have an Internet presence which is how over 90% of the purchasing public start a home search. All agencies present their listings on their websites and the Multiple Listing Systems (MLS), where all the listings compete with one another. Some agencies will link themselves, their websites to other Internet venues, search engines for the purpose of reaching a greater audience, thus increasing the chance that more eyes will view any given property. This business model is the same for anything you shop for on-line, simply typing in the search bar what you are looking for.
Searching for a home is no different. Here is an example, if you were a Buyer, say searching for a home in Holmdel, I would bet you might type, "Holmdel Homes For Sale", into the search bar, the results would then be displayed on your screen. A Buyer would then pick and choose accordingly but studies show, the public will usually limit their interest to the results on the first page of any given search engine, like Google.com for instance.
As I mentioned, agents are responsible for the sale of your home and as I have briefly explained, in almost all cases, this is how business gets done. I am one of the exceptions to the rule. In outlining what I am about to offer, kindly be mindful of my unique differences when you are interviewing, searching for your Monmouth County Real Estate Agent to represent you.

Welcome to my stop on the Hero Arts Handmade for Christmas Blog Hop! If you've followed along from the beginning, then you should be arriving here from the incredibly talented Donna Mikasa's blog.
I've been itching to ink up the new Bold Cheers stamp and thought it might be fun to pair it with some watercoloring and gold embossing. Here are the clean and simple designs I came up with:
One layer card obsession in full effect :)
The watercolored backgrounds were actually created with Hero Arts Sprays. I pre-wet the watercolor paper with clean water using a paintbrush, creating the area where I wanted the color to go. Then I sprayed the inks onto my craft sheet, picked the color up with a fairly wide, flat brush, and let the colors spread onto the paper. It's so cool to watch them move -- and stop right at the edge of where the water was applied. Like magic.
Make sure the backgrounds are completely dry before you stamp and gold emboss the message, otherwise you'll end up with powder in places you don't want it. If that does happen, you can always sweep it away with a fine tipped paintbrush before embossing.
The Hero Arts Sprays are also perfect for adding little dots here and there. Simply unscrew the bottle and tap the end of the spraying mechanism onto the paper. Here I used both the white and gold shimmer sprays.
BLOG HOP GIVEAWAYS! Hero Arts will be giving away one GRAND PRIZE that includes an assortment of stamps, inks, stencils and dies valued at over $75. Two $10 Hero Arts Online Store gift cards will also be awarded. The three prize winners will be randomly selected from all comments received on the participating designers' blogs, so the more comments you leave along the hop, the better your odds of winning! Comment by 11:59pm PST on Thursday, October 2 for a chance to win. The winners will be announced on the Hero Arts blog on Friday, October 3.
Thanks so much for stopping by today! Your next stop on the hop is the amazing Cheiron Brandon.

On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city,
Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour.
In the East, all the houses have flat roofs. This is where people go to sleep at night, where they pray (because they want to get as close to God as they can) and where they go to watch any parades or see important people going by.
Housetops are like public property in a way, because there is a way to go up from the garden. The custom is that others may go on the house tops to look down at the street without asking the permission of the house owner.
Also, the family will sleep on the roof during most seasons, and there may be a little room built to hold the bedding. This is also used as a prophet's chamber. In II Kings 4:10 we read of the Shunamite woman who made a little chamber on the wall for Elisha to stay in when he passed that way. He could go up there and not disturb the rest of the family.
You remember the story about the man sick of the palsy, whose companions let him down through the roof so he could see Jesus and be healed by him. Mark 2:4 says, "And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay."
People read this Scripture and think that these people broke something to get through the roof, but it is not so. This place in the roof is made so that it can be taken apart and then placed back together again for people to go from the roof-top down into the house. "Broken up" in this case is like when someone says that they are going to knock down a tent or some other equipment which comes apart and then is put back together.
The houses are so close together in the villages that you can walk from one housetop to another. In times of danger, the people can get out of the village by running a cross the house tops without even coming down. That is why Jesus said, about the Day of Judgment, "Let him which is on the house top not come down to take any thing out of his house." He does not need to come down at all; he can flee across the roof tops.
Announcements and news pass from one house to another by way of the housetops. The families will come out at night and make their beds and talk back and forth from one roof to another until going to sleep. One woman says to the next one, "Say, did you hear that Bishop Pillai is going to preach here tomorrow?" And that lady then tells it to the next house, so that in a short time the whole town knows it. Who needs radio and newspaper advertising when you can proclaim something from the rooftops?
Jesus told the disciples [Matthew 10:27], "What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops."
The Eastern people also pray on the housetops. They remove their shoes when they pray, you know, so that praying at noon time on the roof with bare feet can be a real test of piety! They take off their shoes because any place where they call on God becomes holy ground.
We read about the Apostle Peter doing this in Acts 10:9; "On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour." (The sixth hour is noon).
If there is any crisis, any disease or threat, the ruler of the town calls all the people out onto the housetops and then calls on God to deliver them. If Easterners were in New Knoxville, and heard about a plague in Lima, they would all go up on the housetops to pray that God would let the plague pass by and not harm them.
There are no divisions among the people when this happens. The crippled, the old and the sick are all carried up on the roof also; not one soul is left behind so that God can see that the town has "wholly" gone up to the housetops! The people do not say, "Oh, well, Mayor Jones is a Methodist and we are Episcopalians, so we cannot pray with him!"
How well I remember that in India when Gandhi called for prayer, hundreds of thousands of people turned out. There was no building any where which was large enough to hold the people. They had to meet at the sea shore to pray because Gandhi called them to "wholly" come out to prayer.
This country needs to "wholly" go up to the housetops, that is, to pray together with one accord and one purpose for God to deliver us from the dangers and threats which are around us. This is no time to worry about denominational or creedal differences. Let us turn to God for deliverance. God bless you.

Swim coach arrested again, accused of molesting boy over 3 years
Joseph Michael Diaz
Gainesville police say it's likely additional victims will be identified as their investigation continues.
Joseph Michael Diaz, 31, of 3003 NW 30th Terrace, was arrested Friday at 1:15 p.m. – his second arrest within 24 hours in connection with the unfolding string of allegations. He is a behavioral resource teacher for kindergarten through fourth grade at High Springs Community School and was a part-time swim coach at Makos Aquatics Club of Gainesville.
Diaz first was arrested Thursday afternoon after one teenage boy told detectives with the Gainesville Police Department that Diaz had pushed him to take inappropriate photos and videos of himself using Diaz's cellphone. Diaz bonded out of jail early Friday morning, but by Friday afternoon another teenage boy, slightly younger than the first victim, had come forward with additional allegations, this time involving sexual contact, and Diaz was rearrested.
That younger teen alleged that, during a three-year period, he was sexually battered by Diaz, police reported.
The boy said Diaz started behaving inappropriately three years ago when he began touching the boy's private area when the two of them were together, police reported. That conduct later escalated into Diaz removing the boy's clothes and sexually battering him, police allege.
The boy described two incidents during which he repeatedly told Diaz, "no," and tried to get away from him, but the boy told detectives that Diaz continued to molest him. The boy said the incidents occurred several times a month over the three-year period, police reported.
The boy told detectives that Diaz instructed him not to say anything or tell anyone about the incidents because, if he did, the boy would get in trouble. Diaz declined to speak with detectives regarding the allegations, the report said.
The investigation into the allegations involving the younger teen is ongoing, and detectives reported that they have identified two more incidents in which Diaz might have engaged in sexual conduct or sexual promotion of minors involving the children he coached.
Diaz was booked into the Alachua County jail on a charge of sexual battery of a victim under 12 years old in connection with the allegations and remained jailed Friday evening.
Diaz's first arrest in connection with the sexual allegations came Thursday afternoon on a bench warrant on charges of cruelty toward a child by directing the sexual performance by a child and possession of child pornography.
Police were alerted Wednesday by Department of Children and Families officials that a confidential report had been filed with the agency saying a teenage boy was involved in an inappropriate relationship with Diaz, GPD spokesman Ben Tobias said in an email.
The boy told police that Diaz was his athletic coach when he began to interact with him outside of coaching. Diaz began joking with him during this time about male genitalia in a sexual nature, Tobias said.
Police allege that, during the course of the relationship, Diaz asked the boy multiple times over the past four years to take nude photos and sexually explicit videos of himself using Diaz's cellphone. At this point, Investigators believe there was no sexual contact between Diaz and the boy, Tobias said.
Diaz was booked into the Alachua County jail Thursday at 4:15 p.m. but was released Friday at 3:15 a.m. after posting $65,000 bail.
"We have physical evidence and statements that lead us to believe there may be more victims,"Tobias said Friday."We are still in the process of identifying and interviewing those potential victims."
Alachua County Public Schools spokeswoman Jackie Johnson said Diaz has been placed on administrative leave pending the results of the criminal investigation. She added that law enforcement officials said they don't believe any students at High Springs Community School are involved.
The website SwimSwam first reported that Diaz was a coach at the Makos Aquatics Club of Gainesville. After his arrest, the club removed his biography from its website, but a cached version of the website from April 19 said Diaz had been a coach for six years and worked with the "Platinum Sharks" group, which is for advanced swimmers ages 10 and older who swim competitively.
Diaz's biography said that, after swimming competitively in his youth and working for a year under Canadian swim coach Cecil Russell, Diaz started coaching in 2000 for the Cooper City Comets. He later moved to Gainesville and graduated from the University of Florida in 2004 with a degree in recreation, parks and tourism.
Diaz is also a registered USA Swimming Coach and a member of the American Swimming Coaches Association, the website said.
"Joey currently serves as the Behavioral Resource Teacher at High Springs Community School,"the SwimSwam website said."His passion to develop character is evident, both at school and on the pool deck."
Betsy Condon, president of Makos Aquatics Club of Gainesville, said in a statement that the club had no prior knowledge of any inappropriate conduct by Diaz.
"The safety and well-being of our athletes is the highest priority for Makos Aquatics Club of Gainesville,"Condon said."His employment was immediately terminated by our club and (we) will continue to work with the authorities on this matter and provide any information we can."

The #7-ranked East Georgia State College Bobcats (number one seed) face off against the Central Georgia Tech Cougars (number eight seed) to start off the GCAA conference tournament.
It was an incredible season for the Bobcats, who are ranked for the first time in the program's history, as they went 27-2 overall and 19-1 in the conference. Hosting the conference tournament definitely gives the Bobcats a huge advantage as they went 14-0 at home this season. The players really feed off the fans and will do so throughout their tournament run.
The leaders on the team are Jordan Johnson (19.3 points, 3.8 assists, and 1.8 steals per game), Trey Hagood (13.2 points, 6.5 rebounds, 7.8 assists, and 4.7 steals per game), and D.J. Felder (14.2 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks per game). This is a team with great depth, going 10-deep at times, so while there is pressure on these guys, there are other players that can pick up the slack.
Central Georgia Tech comes into the game with a 10-20 overall record and 6-14 in the conference. The team is ice cold coming into the conference tournament, having lost six of their last seven games to finish the season.
Cam Baker (18.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.9 assists, and 2.6 steals per game) and Tyler Kendrick (17.2 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game) are the leaders for the Cougars.
The Bobcats came away with the victories in both matchups between the two teams this year, with a 92-87 win at home and a 84-76 victory on the road.
In the first game, Baker led all players in scoring with 32, but Felder (24) and Johnson (22) were able to hold off the Cougars second half comeback, as the Bobcats were up 20 at halftime.
In the second matchup, it was a tough game throughout as Bobcats didn't pull away until the last few minutes of the game. Trey Hagood (19 points, seven rebounds, 10 assists, five steals), Brian Pearson (10 points, eight rebounds, four steals), and Coco Brown (14 points, five rebounds, and one assist) were the stars of this game for the Bobcats. Cam Baker went for 18 points, five rebounds, eight assists, one steal, and one block for the Cougars.
The key for the Bobcats will be not allowing offensive rebounds and slowing down Baker, who averaged 25 points in the two matchups with the Bobcats this season. If they can do those two things, with the home court advantage, they should be able to come away with a victory.

One Direction Star as Thieves in You & I Perfume Ad [VIDEO]
One Direction are giving up their singing careers for lives as jewel thieves in the ad for their new fragrance You & I.
But they might want to reconsider, since none of them seem to be that adept at thievery! In the ad, five mysterious guys dressed head-to-toe in black rappel from the ceiling of a locked vault to steal the prized possession — a laser-protected bottle of You & I. They whip off their ski masks to reveal their secret identities of the five 1D lads.
Up to that point, the ad has a very sleek, James Bond feel, with its white vault, high-tech gadgets and challenging mission. That's where the similarities end, because we're pretty sure Mr. Bond would have a bit more finesse than the boy banders who end up twirling, flailing and crashing around the safe.
Luckily for us, You & I won't be so hard to get our hands on. It will be available for pre-order at Macy's beginning tomorrow, Aug. 6!
To find out if any of 1D get their hands on the fragrance, check out 'The Vault' ad above!

To simplify the quoting and administration of retailer requests for custom work and changes, Bottlenose created Developer Points. Sold individually and in packages, Developer Points are used to pay for completed extra fee work. For calculation purposes, Bottlenose categorizes tasks by type and assigns a minute to dollar value that is then equated to one (1) Developer Point.
As a general rule, only Custom HomePage websites are permitted to purchase Developer Points. Developer Points are available for purchase at any time and have no expiration date. Some customers purchase in advance while others wait until a custom or change work order is upon them. Customer monthly statements include an accounting of any used and remaining Developer Points.
Most requests for changes / customizations are doable, including adding extra fee special features, such as, flash, video, banners, or special interactive maps.
Bottlenose reserves the right to decline or defer requests that would materially limit the ability of Bottlenose to service their other customers. All work, features, programming, created / performed by Bottlenose, other than design changes made to a Custom Home Page shell, remain with Bottlenose to use at their discretion.

Ari Ashe, wtop.com
SILVER SPRING, Md. – Montgomery County Executive Isiah "Ike" Leggett held the first of five public forums on Thursday to discuss the budget proposal he'll introduce in March.
Montgomery County currently faces a $135 million budget shortfall, but many residents don't exactly understand how the budget affects them.
"Whether you're talking about public safety, schools, libraries or the transit system, all of those things impact you and the quality of life of our citizens," says Leggett.
At the top of the budget debate is funding for Montgomery County Public Schools. At more than $2 billion, more than 50 percent of the county's budget goes to education.
Under the "maintenance of effort" law in Maryland, counties are required to spend a certain amount per student each year. But, Montgomery County School Superintendent Joshua Starr wants $10 million more than the mandatory minimum under state law.
When asked about his position, Leggett wouldn't comment about whether he endorses Starr's position or if he sides with Councilman Phil Andrews, a Democrat who represents District 3 and opposes additional school funding beyond the minimum increase.
"I agree with Councilman Andrews. It'll affect parks, police and fire and libraries," says resident Frank Carrigan of Silver Spring. "They shouldn't exceed the minimum in the face of other requirements. It would be advisable to maintain it at the minimum levels."
On Thursday, a group of students from Argyle Middle School in Aspen Hill made a plea to Leggett to keep education funding up, stressing how after-school programs help keep children out of trouble.
Shirley Washington of Silver Spring, meanwhile, asked for more money for libraries.
"I am still not satisfied where we are today," Leggett says. "The library hours are not at the level that I want. We do not have sufficient personnel to operate the hours and days we need. It is my expectation that we will continue to make progress as we go forward."
Libraries, culture and recreation receive about $60 million, or about 1.5 percent of the county budget.
Rich Burnes says he came to the event to express concern about noise from the Intercounty Connector near his home on Bonifant Road.
"There are homes within 400 feet of the ICC that hear the traffic at all hours of the day and night, particularly in the winter with the leaves on the ground," says Burnes.
Leggett told Burnes he's been in touch with the Maryland Transportation Authority, but the agency told him they are within federal guidelines.
Leggett calls the noise problem "a tough fight," but one that is worth fighting to protect the quality of life of those living near the ICC.
Editor's note: This story originally stated that Maryland counties are required to increase funding to public schools each year.

Fantastic fantasy series, wonderful narration!
This is the third book in the Magic Thief series by Prineas. It was an excellent book in this series. The fourth book in this series, Magic Thief: Home, just came out last week. I was unable to find confirmation that there will be a fifth book in the series, but I did find a comment by Prineas saying she does have ideas for a 5th book. This is a wonderful fantasy read that is great for all ages.
I listened to this on audiobook and the audiobooks for this series are incredibly well done. The narrator gets Conn's voice spot on and does an excellent job with the other characters as well. We listened to this in the car on a road trip as a family and everyone really enjoyed it (my son is 7 years old).
Conn has been exiled from Wellmet and his master Nevery isn't pleased with him. Conn is determined to stay in the city of Wellmet and protect it from the evil magic that is coming. However, when things take a turn for the worse Conn is forced to leave Wellmet. On his adventures he discovers some truly astonishing secrets about magic and how it is tied to the cities.
This was an excellent book in this series. There is a lot of magic, adventure, and humor. The characters all have great relationships (wonderful friendships and mentor/student) with each other and I really enjoyed that too. I love the positive messages, the humor, and the wonderfully unique magic. This book includes....DRAGONS...so awesome!
Conn is such a plucky youth which such a positive outlook on things. Yet he started life as a thief and is struggling to prove himself as a wizard. He is always determined to do what it right despite what other people try to force him to do. He also always tells the truth, even if other people aren't happy with that truth. He is funny and daring and just a wonderful character.
We also spend a lot more time with Rowan and the new Lord of Twilight, Ember. Both are wonderful characters. I really enjoy Rowan as a character. She is a young woman with a huge responsibility being thrust on her. She's a great role model, she knows how to deal with Conn's independence and she is just a ton of fun to read about.
This book does an excellent job of wrapping up the storyline involving evil magic invading Wellmet. The ending did feel a bit rushed, so I am happy to see there is another book coming out for this series.
Overall this was another wonderful book in this series. I just can't say enough good things about this series. These books are packed with magic, adventure, and excitement. The characters have healthy relationships, there is humor in here, and I love the characters and world. I can't wait to read Magic Thief: Home when it releases. This whole series is highly recommended to fantasy fans of all ages. It's one of my favorite middle grade fantasy series ever.

A 24-year-old woman was restrained and tormented in the store window display of a flagship cosmetics store in London on Tuesday to highlight the abuses of common animal testing practices.
Thousands of shocked and horrified shoppers stopped in front of the all-natural cosmetics franchise Lush in Regent Street and snapped photos of the woman being force-fed, tied up and injected, the U.K. Daily Mail reported.
Dressed in nothing but a nude-colored body suit, Jacqueline Traide volunteered to put herself through the public torment for 10 hours straight in an effort to raise awareness for a campaign highlighting the pain and cruelty inflicted on animals during laboratory tests for the cosmetics industry.
Traide's abuses included having her mouth clamped open, her eyes irritated with a spray, a portion of her hair shaved off and her skin braised by a man dressed as a lab technician.
U.S. & World
Humane Society International and Lush Cosmetics, a store that heavily promotes its selection of all-natural and organic handmade products, joined forces in an effort to launch a global campaign to end animal testing for cosmetics, the Daily Mail reported.
"The ironic thing is that if it was a beagle in the window and we were doing all these things to it, we'd have the police and (animal welfare group) RSPCA here in minutes," Lush campaign manager Tamsin Omond told the Daily Mail. "But somewhere in the world, this kind of thing is happening to an animal every few seconds on average."
The campaign, "Fighting Animal Testing," is being carried out in over 700 Lush shops across 47 countries including the United States, Canada, India, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea and Russia.
While the London Lush store appears to have been the only one so far to feature a human demonstration in a window display, most stores are participating in the campaign by gathering signatures for a petition, a Lush employee in the U.S told NBC.

Kate Moss is the face of yet another campaign except this time it is for a tech brand. Yup, Britain's most famous supermodel has been snapped up by Carphone Warehouse to create a full range of fashion accessories for smartphones and tablets. Rather like her gig for Topshop, Kate Moss has used her iconic brand and much acclaimed style to put together a collection of stylish and sexy accessories. This is part of a campaign by Carphone Warehouse to launch a new category called fashion tech aimed at the fashion-conscious smartphone user. Well this should be interesting. Kate Moss may not be everyone's cup of tea and she has put her name behind quite a few brands but I am really excited about this collaboration. Her impeccable style should result in the production of some really gorgeous cases for smartphones and tablets. Lord know that I could do with a really sexy looking one. Also Carphone Warehouse have been lugging a bit when it comes to tech style, so they have a lot to gain from this project. If Kate can do for Carphone Warehouse what she did for Topshop then they will laughing all the way to the bank.
The Kate Moss Accessories Collection will launch this summer and it will be available online at Carphone Warehouse and all stores nationwide.

The Shoot #10

The Shoot #10
April 14, 2009
By: Joshua Piedra of WrestleView.com
Minasan Konnichiwa! Hello everyone and welcome to your tenth edition of The Shoot. I can�t believe it has been ten columns already, then again, that�s not much of a milestone to begin with, but I needed an intro and well, here we are. I am going to play arm chair booker once again for this column. Over the past two columns, I made mention about the whole John Cena vs The Rock scenario and since it is probably never going to happen, I figured that I would take the reins of the proverbial booking sheet and do things my way. While we have all that goodness ahead, I must divert your attention away because it is time for your weekly Quick Shots!
-Quick Shots-
While many people are clamoring over the Larry Sweeney vs Ring of Honor debacle, I found something a little more interesting. Apparently AAA has suspended Konnan after actions he had other wrestlers take on Juventud Guerrera. �The Juice� stated that Konnan is trying to run AAA like a mafia and that what happened to Juventud is what would happen to any lucha on the roster that Konnan doesn�t like. What�s even more perplexing is that former ROH mainstay, Jack Evans, took part in Juvi�s beat down. I really don�t know which side of the story to believe, but if I were a wrestler, I wouldn�t get booked in AAA if this is what�s going on south of the border. This is another reason as to why I hate wrestlers being placed into booking scenarios. Sometimes egos cause a person to go on a power trip and it seems as if that�s what has happened to Konnan. Good thing I never liked Konnan to begin with otherwise I�d feel disgusted by his actions. Instead, I just roll my eyes and turn the cheek in the other direction.
As if there hasn�t been enough animosity in the news this week, Eric Bischoff fired a shell in Kevin Nash�s direction calling him �Big Lazy.� We all know the history of Kevin Nash and his multiple knee surgeries, minor heart attack, and increasing age. Nash was one of the best big men in the business and the key here is �was.� It is time for Kevin Nash to hang up the boots activity-wise. TNA had him in the perfect role and that was being the mouth piece because despite not being able to go full out anymore, Nash can still rock a mic like nobody else. When he managed Sonjay, Shelley, Sabin, Lethal, etc, he was golden and had to be one of the most entertaining things to ever come out of TNA and that�s not easy to say with the way they have been running. If Bischoff was referring to backstage politics in trying to favor Nash when he was in charge of booking in WCW or his workrate remains to be seen, but for his limited mobility, I think Nash is still out there giving us what he can and I don�t believe that comment is warranted.
In some sad news, it looks like CIMA and ROH are done. Apparently CIMA claims ROH owes them money. ROH says they don�t and there is another reason as to why they are no longer doing business with Dragon Gate and all I have to say is that is heartbreaking to hear that. Wrestlemania weekend had quickly become a tradition for ROH as they presented Dragon Gate Challenge and Supercard of Honor back to back on that weekend and what we were given was two nights of phenomenal fast-paced juniors action and while the wrestling isn�t scientific or psychological to appease some of the �wrestling geniuses� out there, you have to admit watching guys go full speed like that can be very entertaining. Sadly, it doesn�t look like we will be seeing that kind of action in an ROH ring ever again unless they do the right thing and find a mutual agreement between the two companies.
Just looking back� Sweeney/ROH, CIMA/ROH, Juventud/Konnan, Nash/Bischoff� there has been a lot of hatred in the news this past week. Can�t we all just gather under the Ecto Cooler fountain and just get along!?
Anyway, ever since John Cena took his shot at TAFKA The Rock, now known as Dwayne Johnson, this seemed like an elaborately planned WWE storyline, but with Mr. Johnson getting bombarded week after week after week with questions regarding John Cena�s challenge and answering it with the same answers of �That�s laughable, he�s an interesting guy, he�s a funny guy, it�s baffling� I can�t help but think two things:
1) The Rock really is clueless as to why Cena is making this challenge and there is no way in hell that this match will ever happen (which is the most likely scenario and hence why I�m writing this column)
2) The WWE is feeding The Rock these answers and he�s just playing along and what could be a year�s long storyline that will culminate at Wrestlemania XXVI in Arizona.
We all know the first option is the most likely scenario and if it isn�t, my hat is off to Vince and company for attempting to swerve the fans, but what would happen if the world was shocked and The Rock ends up accepting the challenge? Well, that is what I am here to answer so let�s start at the obvious place, the beginning with the already given information.
John Cena makes the media appearances for his movie 12 Rounds. As he is going around from city to city to promote his movie, he takes a shot at The Rock by stating that he walked away from the wrestling business. The Rock then ignores the comment so John Cena tries to get underneath Mr. Johnson�s skin once again by throwing a challenge out to him to come back to the squared circle for one more match against him on the grandest stage of them all: Wrestlemania.
Now here is where I would start the storyline and, ironically, it starts out exactly how real life is playing out right now. The Rock is going around promoting his movie and, of course, the media will have one special question with each interview and that is �What do you think about John Cena�s challenge?� Ironically, I would have also had Dwayne answer each confrontation in the same manner where he would say that Cena is crazy, out of his mind, his actions are laughable, etc. Once the media buzz dies down, things get kind of quiet for about a month or two.
The reason for this is because Wrestlemania XXV just happened and obviously the challenge for Wrestlemania XXVI is nothing more than a marketing ploy to get people interested in a possible super match. Once all of the post-Wrestlemania hoopla is done and over with there is really no need to keep this charade up. May, June, and July pass by and there isn�t really any mention of Cena or The Rock. Now comes August and this is the time where the WWE holds their second biggest show of the year, Summerslam. By now, The Rock will either be close to being done or completely done filming his next movie (assuming that he is going on to make another film so soon.)
John Cena, being the poster boy for the WWE, goes around again, to media outlets and begins hyping up Summerslam for Vince and company. While on his media tour, he recalls that the last time he made the rounds like he is doing now was when he was promoting 12 Rounds and Wrestlemania. Cena recalls that he made a challenge to The Rock for the next Wrestlemania and his only response was that he was a funny guy. Cena will then state that it really wasn�t a joke and that the challenge is still on the table for The Rock to come back to the wrestling ring for one last match.
A few weeks go by with no response until The Rock starts making his rounds to promote his next film. Again, the reporters ask him if he heard about Cena�s challenge, but this time, The Rock�s answer is slightly different. He believes that Cena is just trying to make himself a little more famous with the casual fan by throwing his name out there with a challenge. The Rock says that while he still loves wrestling and the WWE, he still has no wish to return to the ring because that is in the past and he must look ahead to the future.
Over the summer, WWE Films places John Cena in another movie role (hopefully not 13 Rounds). John�s movie is slated for a Christmas time release. Once again, Cena makes the rounds and helps plug his movie along with WWE�s next biggest event, The Royal Rumble. This time, Cena addresses The Rock one final time, recalling to an interview that he did back in the summertime stating that he said he still loves wrestling and that he must look forward to his future. Cena then says that he should look forward to Wrestlemania being in his future and if he loves wrestling as much as he says he does, he will show up and go one on one with him.
Now the press really starts getting to The Rock. Almost every single interview he does is about John Cena and how, for the past year, he has done nothing but called out The Rock. The Rock seems to be very agitated in his interviews and keeps beating around the bush until one interview he says that maybe he�ll finally give John Cena his definitive answer.
At the Royal Rumble, Vince McMahon comes out right before the Rumble Match and has a major announcement. He said that he has been aware of a situation that has been brewing for quite some time now and that in order to get it out in the open, a certain someone had contacted him about making an appearance to clear the air so the announcement is that for the first time in a very long time, tomorrow night on Monday Night Raw, The Rock will appear live and in person to address John Cena!
The next night on Monday Night Raw, they promote The Rock appearing live in front of the crowd all night long. This ends up being the closing segment of the show. John Cena comes out first and grabs the microphone. He says that he has waited almost a full year to hear The Rock�s answer to his challenge. Cena said he never tried to rub the challenge in The Rock�s face, but he said throughout the year, he made mention of it here or there so he would never forget that the challenge was still out there and that it would always be in the back of The Rock�s head. He said the time for waiting is over and that Cena anxiously awaits The Rock�s answer.
Rock�s music hits and the arena goes berserk. It is one of the loudest pops in recent history, but after about a minute or so of The Rock�s music playing, it cuts off and The Rock comes on the Titantron with the words �Live Via Satellite.� Half of the crowd still cheers, the other half is now booing The Rock. He starts off with his famous� �FINALLY� The ROCK HAS COME BACK�.� And then stops and says �no� this is not true because The Rock hasn�t come back. He hasn�t come back to (insert the name of the town Raw is in) just like he hasn�t come back to sports entertainment. I told Vince McMahon that I would appear live on Monday Night Raw to give John Cena his definitive answer, but I changed my mind for you see after thinking long and hard about it, I felt that I shouldn�t waste my time appearing live for something I no longer believe in.�
At this time, massive heat is now generated on The Rock and Cena is standing in the middle of the ring with a quizzical expression on his face. The Rock will go on to deliver a very heated heel promo about how he never intended to accept the challenge and that there is only one thing in his life now and that is Hollywood. He says that he is the most successful wrestler turned actor in the history of wrestling and acting has served one purpose and that was to open his eyes and show him that life can be much better than traveling for 300 days a year and getting hurt night in and night out for a fraction of a paycheck.
Cena would retort and tell The Rock that it�s not supposed to be about the money. It�s supposed to be about the love for the business and that�s enough to keep a man doing what he does every single night. He will then say that it is true that money does change people and that by saying you love wrestling was nothing more than just to save face for public relations.
The Rock will then respond by saying that money has indeed changed him. It made his life so much better and that it was true. He doesn�t love wrestling anymore and that even if he did, John Cena is nothing more than a Rock wannabe. He�s the top guy in the WWE, he�s the next big WWE movie star, the new people�s champion. He says that John Cena is only trying to emulate The Rock by being the biggest name in the wrestling business, but the only problem is that no one can duplicate the electricity that he put out there night after night. Cena can try all he wants, but he will never be as successful as The Rock was.
This gets under Cena�s skin and he then tells The Rock that if he thinks he is better and that he cannot see him surpassing The Rock then he must feel that he�s a better wrestler than him (Cena). So he tells The Rock one more time that he can put his money where his mouth is and accept his challenge and he can get his ass kicked one last time at Wrestlemania. The Rock just laughs at Cena and uses his interview quotes from before calling Cena laughable. He then says he came here tonight to give Cena his definitive answer and that the answer is, was, and always will be no. The titantron then cuts off as Cena just stands there disappointed. Cena looks very frustrated and is at a loss for words. He just drops the mic and exits the ring. Raw goes off the air.
John Cena is absent from Raw for the next two weeks. Many are questioning if what The Rock said really got under Cena. The announcers then put over The Rock as not being the true people�s champion as they once thought.
At the start of the next Raw, it is announced that they had a sit down interview with John Cena and that they would deliver that interview tonight. In the interview Cena calls out The Rock and said that he used to admire him when he worked for the WWE. He said that he never aimed to be The Rock and that he only aimed to be John Cena because that�s who he is. He doesn�t live his life as a lie and he said that he cannot believe that The Rock would use this business and pretend to love it just to get where he is today. He wonders if The Rock is only using Hollywood to get what he wants and said that The Rock has been nothing more and always will be nothing more than just a fake. After saying what he said, he hopes The Rock gets hounded by the media and the press and he hopes that they ridicule him for what he has become because as far as he is concerned, The Rock doesn�t deserve the fame and fortune he squandered his way into.
Over the next month, up to No Way Out, the media does just as John Cena hoped and hounds The Rock. They keep trying to bury The Rock and WWE puts up all of these �stories� (which are obviously works) up on WWE.com. Cena will come out and feature at least one story per week on Monday Night Raw and this will push The Rock to his breaking point.
The Raw after the No Way Out PPV, The Rock once again appears on the Titantron and tells John Cena that he is really sick and tired of him trying to ruin his life. He says that Cena is only jealous because he could never be The Rock so he is only aiming to destroy what he could never be. Cena says that it is not the case. He says he is only proving to the world that The Rock cares about nothing more than himself and that he shouldn�t be allowed to live with himself the way he is. He is merely doing this open his eyes and to get him to realize what an asshole he had become.
The Rock would then respond by saying that nothing Cena can say will ever phase him because The Rock is above Cena and above the WWE as a whole. Cena then says that if he is so great, then why doesn�t he come to Wrestlemania and let out his frustrations. He says to even sweeten the deal, he would even pay The Rock with his own money. All The Rock has to do is name a price and John Cena will pay it. Win or lose at Wrestlemania, The Rock will be guaranteed the money and he will have his opportunity to shut him up and get his life back to the way he wants it.
The Rock, intrigued by this, actually accepts the challenge on the condition that $1 million of John Cena�s own money be paid to The Rock. Since Cena wants The Rock so bad, he shouldn�t have a problem paying the amount. Cena, without thinking, accepts the challenge.
The WWE then does its thing over the next month with video packages and whatnot, hyping the Wrestlemania match between Cena and The Rock. Come Wrestlemania, Cena vs The Rock is scheduled in the middle of the show. John Cena comes out first, but The Rock comes on the titantron. He says that this isn�t going to happen. He says that the only way this match would happen would be if it was the main event of Wrestlemania. The Rock feels that he is bigger than the World Title, bigger than the WWE Title, bigger than any star on the roster and since this is a million dollar match, it needs to be treated as such by being put into the main event. All of a sudden, the WWE Champion�s music hits (and I am presuming that it�s going to be HHH. I don�t know why� I just have a hunch!). HHH walks down and grabs the stick and says, �John. Main eventing Wrestlemania is one of the biggest honors of one�s life, but this year, it would be an even bigger honor to watch you shut him up. If you want my spot, you can have it.� Cena shakes HHH�s hand and the match is now set for the main event.
The match happens and Cena comes out first. The time between Cena and The Rock�s entrances are deliberately set far apart. This is a mechanism to make the crowd wait even longer. Finally, after all this time, The Rock makes his first live appearance for years and by this time, the heat is off the charts. When he gets to the ring, he demands that he is announced as Dwayne Johnson instead of The Rock. When the match concludes, John Cena pins The Rock to send the fans home happy. As The Rock lays there, Cena writes him a check for 1 million dollars and throws it onto the canvas. Cena grins as he exits the ring. After Cena leaves, The Rock picks up the check, looks at it, smiles and grabs a microphone. He then says �Win or lose, I still have my money and that�s all that matters. � He looks into the crowd and says �Goodbye and Good Riddance�.
As The Rock is about to make his way to the back, he is bombarded by the face portion of the WWE locker room. They each take their turns pummeling on The Rock, but he eventually squirms through them and makes his escape. They chase him through the backstage area where The Rock dives into a limo and drives off. Good ol� JR then closes the show and says �Well, folks. There have been many Wrestlemania moments over the years, but whoever thought that this would be one of them!
So there you have it. That is my proposed storyline for Rock vs Cena. It mixes Hollywood with wrestling and it�s the perfect fit for Vince�s vision of Sports Entertainment. It�s the classic up tight Hollywood celebrity vs the guy who has his head on his shoulders. Vince has always showcased the WWE as if it were a television show rather than a sport and this will showcase the WWE has the better form of entertainment in the end, which puts over the WWE product as a whole. The promos between Cena and The Rock could be simply outstanding going on this precedence and it would make for one of the most compelling storylines in recent times. It has that big Hollywood feel to it and the match would be a huge draw for Wrestlemania as well.
With that being said, let�s move on to some reader email!

Hey Josh,
This was the first time I read your column and I must say,it's very enjoyable. This weeks Wrestlemania column had alot of good stuff on the AWA. I didn't like WrestleMania either it was a major fail on WWE's part. The best part of this column was the CCW refrence,I have been to CCW and it was cool to see it get a refrence even if its kind of lame. Again nice column and I will keep reading The Shoot.

Steven D. Harris writes in again with an interesting note.
It just goes to prove that miracles happen!� I sent you this at the beginning of March � look at the bit I�ve highlighted!
Hi Joshua,
I found your article very interesting; at times, I thought you had read my mind!� There are definitely far too many titles flying around (to the same old people � but that�s for another column!).� My pet hate is the use of �WORLD title�, when it isn�t � it�s only open to wrestlers from that company, usually only wrestlers from that country!� Perhaps you could inform me; when was the last time that a wrestler from outside the U.S. or Canada actually held a �world� title within the WWE?� I agree with you � scrap �world�, keep �WWE�.� Hold a unification bout, like they did with the WWF and WCW belts.� While you�re at it, hold a tag team unification match � and give it to anyone except Miz & Morrison � please!� Hey, maybe they could sign Jim � er, sorry � John Morrison into a �loser loses their hair� match � then see how smug he looks!!!� And finally � could someone please teach the �divas� how to wrestle!� C�mon girlies, Chyna learnt it, it can�t be that difficult � can it?
Back on The Shoot #4, I wrote a column about rejoining the brands and that some talent needed to be let go. Soon after that happened, some of those mentioned in my column were future endeavored by the WWE. Now it seems my psychic powers have been passed along to my readers!
That�s going to do it for me this week.
Of course, this week�s feedback question is. If you had to book The Rock vs John Cena, how would you do it?
I will look forward to your answers as well as anything else you would like to discuss. So if you wish to answer the question or talk to me about where I can pick up some Japanese candy named �Gumi�, or if hacking really a survival trait (god I love that movie) you can send all of that and more to email@example.com.
Until next week...
Because I can.

PRATT & WHITNEY CANADA IS building on what it sees as "a key competitive advantage" over other helicopter engine makers by enhancing its customer support services.
"We take the whole aftermarket very seriously because we feel it is a key competitive advantage for us," said John Saabas, executive vice president of the Longueuil, Quebec-based firm.
In the past year, P&WC (Booth 3431) has reorganized its customer service to streamline resolution of operators' problems. In addition, the manufacturer has expanded its worldwide parts-distribution network and is developing a new program tailored to help helicopter operators' management of engine fleets.
On the new engine front, P&WC is moving forward on certification testing of the 1,000-shp-class PW210 that will power Sikorsky Aircraft's new S-76D. Saabas said the company also is discussing applications of the PW210 with other airframe manufacturers.
P&WC has reorganized its global support network around what it is calling the Customer First Center, which is based in Quebec and operates around the clock. Intended as a rapid-response capability to address customer concerns, the center is based on what P&WC calls the "event manager."
This manager serves as a single point of contact for an operator with an engine issue. To enable that, the event manager is given access to a team of specialists from key aftermarket support services — technical support, logistics, service engineering, engine maintenance programs, warranty services, and replacement engine rentals.
"Let's just say a customer's had foreign-object damage on an engine and needs to replace that engine," Saabas said. "It used to be that the customer had to call the help desk, the leasing company to rent an engine, the mobile repair team to have them come in and change the engine out. The customer would be doing all that logistics and scheduling. Now the customer calls one place and we schedule the event. We take care of whatever needs to happen to get him up and flying."
P&WC said that new center is complemented by the expansion of its parts-distribution network in Europe and Asia, with new distribution centers in Amsterdam and Singapore.
Both will support customers previously supplied from other P&WC locations, the company said, and offer and offer an inventory of new parts, exchange accessories and line-replaceable units for all P&WC engine models.
On the PW210, P&WC has five engines in development and has been working on icing certification, endurance testing, and mechanical shakedowns.
"We're doing as much as we can get done to be ready for the software validation" when Sikorsky's S-76D program is ready for that, Saabas said.
