WWE Monday Night RAW from San Jose, CA || TV Review
- It's weird seeing the MLK Jr tribute followed by a cold open of Paul Heyman and Vickie Guerrero walking to the ring arm-in-arm. Very, seriously weird. Then Heyman goes one step further and calls Vickie the "sexiest General Manager" ever. So are they giving up on her being Managing Supervisor and just going with GM? Then he goes after Rock for picking on Vickie Guerrero, a "poor, defenseless widow". Heyman is the absolute best. Vickie says she won't let The Rock in tonight, and lo and behold, with the most perfect timing, he just showed up. If he tries to force his way in, says indy wrestler #4, they will have to put him under arrest. Rock gives the cops reasons to arrest everybody else but him, and I think they're going to let him in! Not yet, and Vickie says that if Rock tries to get into the arena the only song he'll be singing is Jailhouse Rock. The crowd isn't amused. Heyman: "Oh, come on, that was very clever!"
- Up next, the first of 3 Beat The Clock matches! Winner gets to choose his entry number for the Rumble. I'm glad to have it, but this is the kind of thing to do in the weeks leading up to the show to build excitement, not the Monday before.
Beat The Clock: Randy Orton v. Antonio Cesaro
Cesaro goes for a quick rollup and Orton does the same. This match is weird... the whole thing so far has been headlocks and rollups, possibly the two moves that are most opposite, especially in a match like this one. Orton finally gains an advantage and Cesaro rolls outside only to take a big clothesline. That gets two inside and we go to a break at 3 minutes. Back at about 7 minutes and Orton fights off a superplex, so Cesaro just shoves him off the top and to the floor. Cesaro keeps control and gets a pretty cool scoop slam and the standing double stomp. Orton comes back with the usual but Cesaro blocks the Hangman's DDT with a jacknife cover for two. He tosses Orton up for a huge European Uppercut but can't get the pin. He stupidly throws Orton shoulder-first into the ringpost and momentum carried Orton to the outside. Cesaro follows him out, tosses him back in and barely makes it up to his feet before being taken right out with an RKO. Rookie mistake, dude!
Orton def. Cesaro, RKO - 11:36, **1/2
- The Hall of Fame announcement tribute for Foley had my wife tearing up, and she doesn't even especially like the dude. She knows the Micker is pretty much my biggest hero, or at least the closest I have to one, though.
The Big Show v. Zack Ryder
Big Show demanded that his rematch on Sunday would be another Last Man Standing match, and Booker said okay. Well that was easy. Ryder lasts about 30 seconds longer than Kofi did last week.
Big Show def. Ryder, WMD Punch - 1 min, NR
- Brad Maddox was on commentary, by the way. Apparently he was kicked out of WWE on Main Event last week, but now here he is backstage with Heyman, who shakes his hand and doesn't politely ask him to put any phalluses into any holes. Or something. Chances are this doesn't end well for 'ol Brad.
Ryback v. Heath Slater
Slater dropkicks the knee and does some shuck 'n jive punches. Then he takes a spinebuster, meathook and gets Shellshocked. After the match he says he's going to win the Rumble.
Ryback def. Slater, Shellshocked - 1 min, NR
- Hey, they didn't let The Rock in yet! My wife: "It's MLK, Jr Day! Just call the cops racist and they have to let you in." Rock makes some headway by appealing to the one cop whose wife and kid are in the arena, but Vickie comes to the rescue and threatens to suspend the officers. And they react with fear. WHAT? What fucking sense does that make?
- CM Punk is here. He is very low key this week. In short, The Rock is a singy-songy fake People's Champion. Punk is here to hurt people and is a REAL Champion. In the end, Punk says that he will still be the champ after Sunday. With RAW in Las Vegas next week, I have a feeling we will be getting another attempted pipe bomb moment. Will it happen with or without the belt?
Beat The Clock: Dolph Ziggler v. The Miz
Miz throws a dropkick to start and almost shocks everybody enough to get the quick pin. Both men trade a number of different types of rollups before Ziggler gets a dropkick to end a really nice sequence. Crowd: "Let's Go Ziggler! Miz Is Awesome!" Miz chop blocks the knee and then goes to work on it. The Flair rub continues! I have no problem with it, but what an odd choice. He can't get the Figure Four and ends up on the outside where Big E throws him HARD into the ring apron. Back from commercial with 4 minutes left and Ziggler has Miz in the commercial break chinlock. Miz gets out with a sunset flip for 2 and a huge boot to the face for another near fall. Miz gets the running clothesline in the corner into the double axe handle off the top and the crowd bites BIG TIME on that being the finish. More back and forth leads to Ziggler's jumping DDT, but that only gets 2. Miz gets the ugliest Figure Four of all time on DZ but AJ distracts the ref. That allows Langston to pull Ziggler to the ropes. Moments later the Zig Zag puts Miz down. Ziggler sets the new pace. Very good match and they did a great job getting the crowd into it.
Ziggler def. Miz, Zig Zig - 10:56, ***
- Kane and D-Bryan Graduate from Anger Management tonight! His first name is MARION! Hah! Look at Bryan's hair! Dapper Dan indeed! I hate that I like this. YOU'RE THE VALEDICTORIAN! NO YOU'RE THE VALEDICTORIAN! Holy shit a DOCTOR SHELBY CHANT! Shelby's idea: What if everyone everywhere hugged at the same time? King and Cole hug! The ringside doc and Justin Roberts hug! A Triple Fat Guy hug in the front row! Now the dude with the awesome mustache! 1, 2, 3 EVERYBODY HUG!
Hey! Let's share the suck!
Non-Title: Kaitlyn v. Alicia Fox
Tamina Snuka, who I think is somebody's daughter, is watching backstage. OH MY GOD MICHAEL COLE JUST CALLED ALICIA FOX A VETERAN. SOMEBODY PLEASE JUST KILL EVERYTHING. I suddenly feel the need to see the exact opposite of the last segment. Kaitlyn wins with a spear (kinda). What a shitty match. Your Divas Champion, folks!
Kaitlyn def. Fox, Spear-ish - 2 min, NR
- Heyman is here to drop a Paul bomb. I love the title "The Voice of the Voice of the Voiceless". It's like "All-American American" but eloquent. He tells the people he's going to keep it simple, then throws in some Latin for fun. Heyman: "Just like the people, The Rock is stuuuupid." Here comes The Rock! And he's got the police officer's ticket! The officer is likely dead somewhere backstage. Rock: "Shut your mouth, Twinkie Tits!" Holy shit, The Rock just said it! "You have earned the right to be called Best in the World!" EVERYBODY ELSE'S OPINION DOESN'T MATTER. The Rock is a true man. Fuck everybody else who disputed it. It's really simple. Seriously, instead of bitching abou Punk not really being BitW, they should do like Rock did. Admit that he is the best and then man up and try to beat him. I am so sorry that I spent all last year hating on Rocky. Although to be fair his work this month has been so far ahead of the stuff from the Cena feud quality-wise it's like a different person.
- "Blood, sweat and respect. The first two I give the last one I've earned." Sweet line. Rock evokes Dr. King by saying we'll be free at last after Sunday. Punk's reaction is classic, just shaking his head from high above and mouthing "oh my God" in disgust. Lights out! THE SHIELD! FUCK YEAH! Rock tries to fight back! He can't do it! Three-man powerbomb! Rock's down! Punk tells Rock that the thing about dreams is that eventually you gotta wake up. Rock bit down on a blood packet! KEN SHAMROCK STYLE! Holy shit Rocky is going to have taped ribs for his match on Sunday. Now
is Vintage Rock, Michael Cole. Fucking fantastic segment.
Beat The Clock: Sheamus v. Wade Barrett
I'm calling it: Sheamus wins and chooses number one FELLA! General brawling until Sheamus runs to the ropes and Barrett follows directly behind and blindsides him with a clothesline over the top. Barrett wins! Oh, not 'til Sunday. Sorry. Back from commercial and King welcomes us back by saying "If they don't beat the clock, they might as well stop, right?" REALLY KING? Go away already. Sheamus goes for White Noise but Barrett counters. Sheamus counters the pump handle slam but missed the Brogue Kick. Barrett gets the mule kick to the gut and then a big superkick with Sheamus on his knees. I bought that finish. Barrett gets the elbow from the second rope and tries Wasteland, but Sheamus counters and hits White Noise. One minute left and he sets up the Brogue Kick but AJ jumps into the ring to distract! Sheamus runs into the Bossman Slam but it only gets two. Ziggler was shitting his pants on that one. Both men are down! Barrett wants the Bullhammer but he turns around into the Brogue Kick! Cover! Time runs out! Ziggler wins! Good match with a hot finish.
Sheamus v. Barrett ends in a Time Limit Draw - 10:56, **3/4
- Ziggler barges in on Vickie in her office and gloats, only to find out that he wins the chance to choose between #1 and #2. 2013 Royal Rumble Iron Man, baby!
- Vince confronts Punk and Heyman backstage. If The Shield gets involved on Sunday, Punk's in deep shit. Heyman says Vince needs proof that Punk has anything to do with The Shield and Vince agrees, I think. Not quite sure how they plan to deal with that. Anyway, if proof is found and they do interfere on Sunday, Punk will be stripped of the title. Okay then.
Non-title: Alberto Del Rio v. Tensai
The crowd sings along with Rodriguez on the DELLLLL RRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIOOOOOOOOO part of the intro. That was awesome. Tensai gets a paid of Vader Bombs but all he gets for it is a flying headscissors and a jumping enzugiri, which the crowd aids by chanting "SI, SI, SI, SI" as he tunes up. Worst Moonsault Ever finishes. Del Rio leads the crowd in counting to ten in Spanish.
Del Rio def. Tensai, second rope moonsault - 2 min, *
- The second addition to the Hall of Fame this year: Bob Backlund. Awesome.
- Main Event Promo: John Cena is here, and San Jose does not seem to have a lot of Cena supporters. Cena singles out a kid in the front row and blames him for ruining his cyber life. He picks out two other people and it's hokey but honestly kinda funny. He turns into shill-man and says that on Sunday he WILL win the Royal Rumble and his music hits before we can hear the crowd booing. Sheamus interrupts, though, but before he can say anything the Prime Time Players are here! Darren Young gets a moment to say "Ain't Nobody Got Time Fa That!" before Orton cuts them off. He thinks he's going to win the Rumble. So does Miz. They couldn't have spent time over the past 5 weeks doing this? Did everybody forget until John Cena brought it up? Kane and Daniel Bryan think they are going to win, but Cesaro says that he's going to win and dedicate the victory to his home away from home, the United States of America! 3MB thinks THEY are going to win. Here comes everybody else, because it seems they finally ran out of microphones, and it's BEDLAM IN SAN JOSE! Michael McGillicutty is there! JTG! I bet neither one of them is in the match. Crowd's kind of bored, but whatever. They got a good show.
Overall RAW Thoughts
I wonder if they have finally come up with a decent formula. RAW was, brace yourselves, good this week. The segment at the end was pretty lame and I wish they would have spent some time making us believe that people cared about the Rumble match before they were one week away, but whatever. The wrestling was pretty good. Nothing special, but it was a couple squashes, a shitty women's match and some decent Beat The Clock matches. The stuff with Rock and Punk was absolutely great and made me care even more about Sunday, especially after the complete misfire from last week. Good stuff.
Why The Rock v. John Cena II Should Be For The WWE Championship
We are five days away from the Royal Rumble as of the posting of this column and it is already known that The Rock, who has his title shot on Sunday, will be carrying the WWE Championship into WrestleMania. Speculation has abounded over the past few weeks that CM Punk will find a way to retain in his one-on-one defense on Sunday, leading to either a straight rematch in February or forcing The Rock to participate in an Elimination Chamber match to grab the gold. The way he wins the belt is unimportant;
is that the main event of WrestleMania XXIX will be WWE Champion The Rock defending against Challenger John Cena.
Going all the way back to when the rumors of this match began I have strongly felt that it should not take place, and I had a number of reasons. The first and most obvious being that WWE spent a year promoting (and later released a DVD set about) the match between Rock and Cena at WrestleMania XXVIII as "Once in a Lifetime". I took a moment, stepped back and thought about it and I ended up coming to this very quick realization.
"Once in a Lifetime" was not a promise. Hell, it wasn't even a stipulation. It was a marketing strategy. Therefore, bitching about WWE running a Rock/Cena rematch because they went out of their way to position it as a one-time only deal is pretty short sighted of us. It's something we don't think about very often. This is a business, and making people believe that they only had one chance to see it was a good business decision. So Vince already has our money -- if we were naive enough to believe that we HAD to buy the show because it would be our one and only opportunity to possibly see John Cena go one-on-one with The Great One, that was our mistake. It was never (ever) supposed to be a one-and-done situation. Vinny Mac was planning from the very beginning to give His Boy John his win back. Was it always planned to happen one year later at WrestleMania? Maybe, maybe not. I think we all can agree, however, that Vince McMahon wanted a rematch to happen between these two men before he even officially announced 2 years ago that they would be wrestling for the first time.
The second reason I felt like this match should not take place has nothing to do with the combination of wrestlers. John Cena versus The Rock is a huge marquee match and the buyrate of last year's WrestleMania is the proof. The problem? Why does it have to involve the WWE Title? Rock v. Cena is a super-duper-mega match on its own! That is true, yes, but let's look at this from a strictly storyline perspective. Upholding kayfabe, if you weeeeeel. Last year, John Cena (the character) said that winning his match against The Rock meant
. After he failed to win the match, his entire reaction was making a sad puppy dog face moments after being pinned and then congratulating The Rock for being the better man the next night. If he was putting his career in question, which is what he alluded to in the weeks prior to the match, he never let the audience in on his feelings. Granted he did get taken out by Brock Lesnar that night after WrestleMania, but he spent ample time in the ring being the same old John Cena before Brock finally ambled down to F-5 him.
Seriously, Cena spent forever stalling before dude came out.
We move forward through 2012 and Cena's year went along as usual. General concensus states that Cena had a shitty 2012, so let's analyze it a bit. Looking at him accomplishments from last year, you see that John began the year Rising Above Hate as he made the newly re-masked returning Kane look like he never had a match in his life. He hit a snag when he lost to The Rock but that was quickly followed up by making short work of Brock Lesnar. When Big Johnny took center stage with People Power our hero did indeed take a loss to the EVPoTRaGMoR in the main event of a PPV, but it was thanks only to interference from The Big Show. Cena was abke to rectify that injustice the following month inside a steel cage, getting revenge on The Big Show and ending the tyranny of People Power in the process. To recap what we have so far, in the first 6 months of the year Cena was faced with a number of obstacles and was able to overcome every last one of them; and he came out smelling like smiles and sunshine.
He did encounter some rough circumstances at the end of the summer. Cena won the Money in the Bank contract and went on to be unsuccessful in his cash-in attempt. He was then unable to defeat CM Punk and Big Show in a triple threat in his second chance at the title and then he came up short in a
shot at the Night of Champions PPV. Yeah, it sucks for him that he had no luck in winning back his bling, but the sheer amount of opportunities alone makes that an amazing year for anybody else on the roster.
Cena began the last quarter of the year by getting hurt, but he came back very quickly. Before he got hurt, Vince McMahon himself was ready to reward Cena with
shot at Punk, which was wholly not earned. He was indeed afforded that chance as soon as he was healed but again could not translate an oportunity into a championship reign. One would assume that after all those chances a guy would be sent to the back of the line. Not John Cena! Vince himself (again) bulling Vickie Guerrero into giving Cena a match with Dolph Ziggler's briefcase on the line, a match that Cena did nothing to earn outside of simply being John Cena. He was not successful in that endeavor, of course, and now it's 2013 and it appears that since he has made the conscious decision to refocus himself,
is the time that Cena is going to have to start earning his chances.
Trying really hard to make a serious face.
If we take a step back, earlier I said that just the "sheer amount of opportunities" Cena was granted in 2012 would make for an amazing year for pretty much anybody else. Even in defeat, that many shots for the title and main event matches would easily be the best year in the careers of a lot of men. Well John Cena (the character, remember) isn't like anybody else. In the past seven years he has held the WWE Championship 10 times and the World Heavyweight Championship twice. The last year and some months has been, by far, Cena's longest championship drought since he grabbed his first US Title back in March 2004. He won the Wrestler of the Year Slammy award and very righteously refused to accept it (something that should have been made into a much bigger deal) and went on to state that he will rededicate himself in 2013 to focus on winning the WWE Title. My singular problem with the way they have handled the story moving forward lies with inconsistencies. A couple of wrestlers, most notably CM Punk (obviously), called bullshit on Cena being named the WotY. We have established that Cena himself was against receiving the award, but for some reason Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler refuse to properly play along and have continued to assert that John was fully deserving of the trophy and that anybody who says differently is simply wrong. The entire basis of this story arc is that Cena is beyond disappointed with the way 2012 transpired for him and he plans to erase the memories of that by working toward having a career year in 2013. It weakens the story to have the commentators completely contradict the way Cena feels, since the way he feels is the entire base of the story.
Whether they do it right or not (fingers crossed that it works out), it's actually a very interesting idea to try with a guy like Cena. His behviour and demeanor never really changed, but it is clear that his loss to The Rock back in April did have a negative effect on him. It's eating him up somewhere on the inside and it has subconsiously aided in preventing him from "winning the big one" at any point subsequent to that defeat he suffered at WrestleMania. And
is why The Rock versus John Cena II at WrestleMania XXIX should be contested with the WWE Championship on the line. Cena can avenge his loss to The Rock and in one fell swoop win the top prize in the wrestling business to once again validate himself, at least in his own mind. And that is the most important thing of all.
- Rey Mysterio made his return to action last week in Los Angeles and teamed with Bo Dallas. With all of the focus on NXT guys recently both on
WWE dot com
and having the guys all over the house show circuit, I wonder how many, if any of these guys, will be turning up on TV before WrestleMania. Maybe we'll get one new guy in the Rumble match? Probably not. That wouldn't be the best place to debut without any hype unless the plan was to either put him over or have him be the last man eliminated. Shit, that would actually be pretty cool.
- Tyson Kidd posted an update about his condition after surgery. He's excited because he received his shipment of Japanese compilations from
IVP Videos
. You really need to check this site out, by the way. They do a lot of free downloads, and the pay stuff is also very cheap. If you want to check out some Japanese stuff or just some of your favourite American wrestlers in Japan, this is the place to go. #PLUG
- Like mother, like son. Linda Hogan has officially been charged with a DUI after being arrested for speeding and driving under the influence back in October. She is facing potential jail time, but it won't happen. I hope she immediately apologized to Nick for any shit she gave him for almost killing his friend. Nick wasn't drunk, right? Just a really cocky and stupid kid?
- Random thought: Did they actually listen to the lyrics before choosing the theme song for the 2001 Survivor Series PPV?
- Finally Dean Ambrose gets to finish his feud with Mick Foley! Such a shame that Reigns is a complete black hole of charisma. People may give Rollins shit, but at least he isn't robotic and stiff as a board. The yelly part from Reigns at the very end was okay. He showed some passion at last.
- The newest addition to the WWE developmental roster is heavyweight amateur wrestling champion Clayton Jack, who just graduated from THE Oregon State University and starts training on Thursday. He seems very excited andhumble. I'm kind of surprised OSU coaches didn't make the kid get a haircut. That curly mop ain't beneficial on the mat. They should team him up with Swagger and call the team JACK. Justice of American Collegiate Krew. Or something good. Whichever works.
- WWE recently sent out a survey regarding dot com posting spoilers and asking about the websites that people visit for their wrestling news. Interesting, but I'm not quite sure why. Joey Styles recently said that WWE.com posts spoilers, such as Alberto Del Rio's title win, on the website so that other sites don't get the scoop. I think it's really quite backwards logic. People who will see it on sites like PW.net, Wrestlezone, The Observer, 411 and the like are going to, more than likely, see it on one of our little dirt sheets before they see it on WWE's official website. People like us don't go to WWE's site for breaking news. The only people WWE is "scooping" by posting spoilers on the website are the fans who, if it wasn't put up there, would never know it happened unless they saw it on TV. I get the idea of trying to do it to position viewers to watch it and thus grab some ratings, but the best way to do that is to put out a product that people actually believe that while it's on, anything can happen. Instead, nothing happens, and the fans are going to be conditioned to know that if something does happen, WWE will put it online three days before airing it on TV. So yeah, it's possible that spoiling a bit title change could help the ratings for a night (although in this case it wouldn't matter because the fucking Rock was on the show), but some people will learn to only watch when WWE says something happens before the fact. It's completely counterintuitive and that kind of thinking is one of the reasons why SmackDown pulled in an abysmal average rating of 1.89 in 2012.
Brock Lesnar's Opponent at WrestleMania: If Not Triple H, Then Who?
As of right now, it has been reported to be set in stone that Brock Lesnar will finish his remaining contracted dates building up the rematch with Triple H. I don't like that idea. It's not just a personal preference, either. It is certainly true that I have zero personal interest in seeing Brock Lesnar wrestle Triple H again -- in fact the last time I had any interest in seeing that match was around 2003 -- but it also makes no sense from a business nor a storyline standpoint. If Triple H intends to sign Brock up for another set of dates (he does), what sense does it make to hand him another loss? Wins and losses don't matter as a general rule, sure, but there are circumstances that can circumvent that. This is one of those times. Continuing at this rate, Brock will wrestle two matches per year. It he takes a loss to Triple H at WrestleMania, when it comes time to make his return to beat up on some new poor, unsuspecting soul the last memory people will have of Brock is staring up at the lights. If this match (and the likely outcome) occurs, that puts Brock on the losing end of 2 out of the 3 matches he has wrestled since his return last April. Sure, they would be losses to John Cena and Triple H, but anybody can lose to those guys. If he wrestles the big name stars and loses, it makes him, in wrestling slang, more of a JTTS (jobber to the stars) than a monster who needs to be stopped, which we can safely assume is what they want Lesnar to be. He beat Triple H back at SummerSlam; the next logical step, if you're booking him as a monster who can't be stopped, is to have him pick (or have Heyman pick for him) a brand new target for destruction.
Here's an important question: how do they even set up a rematch? Both guys are part time (at best) and outside of Triple H making a cameo at the Slammys neither man has been seen since August. Brock has no reason to initiate a sequence that would lead to a rematch with Triple H. He won the bout at SummerSlam and decided that he had had his fill of professional wrestling following that accomplishment. Hell, it took months of Triple H begging Brock for the original match to happen in the first place! Brock calling out Triple H won't happen, so obviously the onus is on The Game to create a series of events that would lead us to seeing Brock v. Triple H part deux. How can that possibly be done without it being incredibly contrived and/or making Triple H look like a crybaby who took his ball and ran away for six months until he could stop sobbing long enough to man up? Honestly, somebody please come up with a way to logically (key word!) and feasibly get to a Triple H versus Brock Lesnar rematch for WrestleMania. The only idea I can come up with is having them cross paths in the Royal Rumble match, but neither guy will be showing up for that.
If we assume that one of the other big matches set for WrestleMania this year is CM Punk v. The Undertaker, then both of those guys, who are rumored to be future opponents for Lesnar, are out of the mix to be his tango partner in April. There are three guys I would absolutely
to see in a match with Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania XXIX. In no specific order: Daniel Bryan, Dolph Ziggler and Ryback. I know that there is very little chance that they will ever treat us to a Daniel Bryan v. Brock Lesnar singles match (at WM or otherwise) and Team Hell No will either be defending or challenging for the tag belts at 'Mania (or imploding and wrestling each other), so D-Bryan will be busy anyway. There has been some talk about turning Dolph Ziggler face. If that is indeed set to happen, putting him in a feud opposite Paul Heyman (thus by extension CM Punk and Brock Lesnar) could push him over the top. I have tons of scenarios running through my head, but simply enough Ziggler could do something to raise the ire of Paul E that would in turn draw him to get Brock back in to deal with DZ -OR- Ziggler could challenge Heyman to bring Lesnar back so he can prove that he is the better wrestler/athlete/collegiate standout/whathaveyou. That would be so sick that I could get too damn sick of that match being too damn sick.
More rare than the Iberian Lynx.
Ryback is an absolute no-brainer and my personal choice. If they intend to book Lesnar to lose, why not have him lay down for a guy who would stand to benefit greatly? The match could be pretty badass and the setup is completely built in. Not only is it obvious to put the current huge new guy in a high profile match against a former huge new guy (who himself received many comparisons to Bill Goldberg in the beginning of his career), but Ryback has been a major thorn in the side of Brock Lesnar's number one guy, Paul Heyman, for months. That fact leads me to implementing the use of one of my favourite words: Logic.
There are a thousand possible scenarios that could lead to Heyman bringing back Lesnar to get rid of Ryback. Without delving too deeply into fantasy booking territory, I think a great (and very logical!) way to get to a Ryback/Lesnar match is to have Ryback get a measure of revenge on The Shield at the Elimination Chamber PPV and then point his focus back on CM Punk. The probability of Punk no longer being WWE Champion by then is pretty much 100%, but Ryback still has not had the chance to fully sink his teeth into Punk, so champion or not the hunger, as it were, is still panging. Punk, however, is busy. Rock v. Cena is booked for the WWE Title, therefore he says that to be in the spotlight at WrestleMania there's only one other thing he can do: challenge the Undertaker, break the streak and prove once-and-for-all that he is the Best in the World. That doesn't throw Ryback off Punk's scent, though, and he tries to press the issue so he can finally get his hands on the former champion. Heyman ain't about to let that happen, especially not while Punk is preparing to wrestle The Undertaker, so he throws a ton of money at Brock Lesnar to come out of hiding/retirement/whatever in order to take down Ryback and put him out for good. BOOM. That's your WrestleMania storyline for Brock Lesnar.

El Generico v. Zombified || ISW Slamtasia 2007 - March 3, 2007
From TJ Hawke:
"El Generico's character is flexible enough that he can easily fit into many different environments. This was my first time seeing him in ISDub, and it's safe to say that this environment was very well suited for Generico. While the match had a few sloppy moments, I found this match to be quite fun. You should absolutely check it out. Ole."

The Royal Rumble is on Sunday!
All the way back
in October
I wrote a lengthy piece discussing the many possibilities that lay ahead in the 2013 Royal Rumble match. Three months later and here we are, 5 days away from the annual tradition. I won't spend time complaining about it, but it's disappointing to me how little build the actual match itself has been receiving over the past few years, with this year being the absolute least. A couple guys have entered their names into the hat over the past few weeks, but there are no storylines (outside of Cena's redemption) going into the match, there have been no qualifiers, nobody fighting to get #30 or fighting to prevent themselves from being thrown in at #1 -- nothing. I love the Rumble match and I'm still excited for it, but I used to be out of my mind hyped with all of the possibilities that WWE tossed at us every year. Now it's more of a guessing game than anything else.
To summarize the piece I wrote back in October, I said that Orton had a slight shot at winning and with a heel turn I would be behind it, Brock Lesnar would be a good choice and it would be awesome to see him challenge for Sheamus' belt and Undertaker could win leading to winning the belt at 'Mania and Ziggler cashing in MITB the following night on RAW. I also said it would be cool to see Daniel Bryan win it and challenge The Rock for the WWE Title at 'Mania, Kofi Kingston winning and challenging Punk at 'Mania (was I drunk?) and Ryback winning and challenging Punk to finally beat him for the title at WrestleMania and to get revenge on the only guy who has ever pinned him. That's not too bad, actually.
The above guys (Bryan, Kofi and Ryback) would challenge for the WWE Title. I also speculated that Barrett could win and challenge for Sheamus' belt (I seemingly had legitimate feelings that he would still be the champion) and that Cody Rhodes could be given a big push. Heh. Right. Of course I also said to just let Ziggler win the damn thing and push him all the way up the card already.
Here's the October 2012 version of me regarding who I felt was the most realistic choice:
"I would love to see something new and different. If we do indeed get a winner of the Rumble match that isn't John Cena, it will be somebody challenging for the World Title in the middle of the WM card. That's a shame, but I have a feeling that won't be changing until it comes time for the 2015 Royal Rumble leading into WrestleMania XXXI. I would love to believe that they will give WrestleMania 30 to a pair of young stars who will be leading the business into the future, but if they keep the current mentality, a show as big as the 30th annual "grandest stage of them all" will have guys with zero future in WWE as the centerpieces. I'm going to make my pick right now for the 2013 Royal Rumble winner. My choice can (and likely will) change between now and January (probably multiple times) but the current climate makes me believe that John Cena will win the 2013 Royal Rumble match. Hey, at least that means the winner will finally win the title to close the show, which hasn't happened since The Undertaker defeated Edge in 2007."
Damn. October 2012 me really
me. I'm sticking with that pick. As for the rest of the show: Rock beats Punk, Del Rio beats Show, Kaitlyn keeps her belt and the Rhodes Scholars bring new ones home.
That's going to be it for me. My great and glorious idea for the theme songs that I mentioned last week was pretty much done by a lot of you idea stealers in the comments. I was going to come up with somewhat amusing characters/scenarios based on the songs you chose. A bunch of y'all did it for me, though, and likely better than I would have. Maybe I'll come back to it eventually.
Posting this version simply for the top comment.
This is the end of the 20th edition of the Tuesday Communique. As far as I'm told by mister Larry Csonka himself, you're going to be stuck with me for at least 20 more! See you with a rundown of the Rumble next week!

- Dinner Prior to ConcertBeezLuizDined on 9/20/2014Recently had dinner here with a group of friends. The main dinning room was booked for a private function so we were seated outside in the patio. Great atmosphere and eventually a band showed up and the place filled to standing room only. Our service was very good. The food was pretty good, but nothing beyond standard fair.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Friday Night FrightOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 8/29/2014Upon entering the restaurant the staff seemed indifferent, the noise from a band playing on the patio was obnoxious and in an obvious sports bar situation the TVs were not showing local sports, i.e. Giants, Athletics. Judge Judy was playing next to my table. I asked the server to change it to the Giants game and it took about a half hour to respond to my request. Did I mention that the patio rock band was playing WAY too loud for 730 PM dining? Two us had the ribs and one had the lamb shank special. All the portions were for the skinny jeans crowd and I needed to eat again a few hours later. I would not recommend the place to friends or acquaintances. It wasn't completely terrible, it was just meh. I give it a C-.
- So sofiftyishfoodieDined on 8/22/2014Looking for a casual meal in downtown SJ, and picked LGBC. Even though the service was very good, the food was lackluster. I had crab cake sliders, no flavor and the cabbage slaw was not made with care. Dressing was watery and the cabbage seemed hacked up without care. The burger passed but there was no pizzazz. I would put a Chilis or BJs burger ahead of it, definitely. LGBC should do more than just pump out food. Seems like a tune up is needed to reach full potential as a downtown brew restaurant.Special Features:
- Just okgoldbloodedgrillerVIPDined on 7/25/2014Nice restaurant. good service. Food was actually good, for a brewery restaurant. Had arancini, wings, calamari, and 2 pizzas all were good. The tartare was lacking seasoning and flavor. The part of the restaurant we came for was the brews & they were disappointing, very light & lackluster. No porters or stouts, and the IPA didn't have much character.Special Features:
- Good Food! Lovely Ambiance....TasteTesterDined on 7/22/2014Location is perfect to start with a night out downtown. Nice patio seating and inside is very posh. Had the salad and friends had the pasta which was delicious then the German Chocolate Cake and Cheescake we shared was scrumptious. Bon Appetite!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dino999Dined on 7/19/2014We have been to the Los Gatos location and always had a good meal, so we thought we would try the San Jose location, plus a band we liked was going to be playing. The outdoor patio was very nice The food was good, but not great. My tri-tip sandwich was bland and my companions chicken salad was unimpressive. It is too bad, the restaurant looks great and in a nice location downtown near San Pedro Square, and the beer was very good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great dinner/bad sound checkGreatfoodDined on 7/19/2014Food and service were exceptional but the 15 min check check check check while the band was setting up was irritating and not necessary. I finally told him to zip it and things got better but that was ridiculous! I'll come back!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great lunchReviewsJFDined on 7/17/2014Great place for a business lunch. I had the bbq chicken salad and was very happy.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pre-Concert DiningLS57Dined on 7/2/2014Small group of five enjoyed dining pre-concert. Yummy vegetarian selection, Gorgonzola Gnocchi was rich and done right. Food server was prompt with good timing but thankfully not hovering Drinks came out yummy, too. Comfortable selections, a bit noisy and hard to hear in middle of dining room. All in all, a 4 out of 5.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 3rd visits was a nightmareBayAreafoodloverVIPDined on 6/3/2014This was my 3rd visit. However, last visit totally ruined my experience and I probably won't go back anymore! I booked a dinner for 4 people on Tuesday. We arrived on time and got seated immediately. Short after, I noticed they were short staff in the evening and our waitress was hardly to be found. It took her over 30 minutes and 3 reminders after to get our 2nd cocktails. Later, another group of 25 who seated next to us and served by same waitress. Poor waitress was very stressful and didn't even came to our table after. We asked close the checks 3 times in 30mins. Waitress seem too busy and didn't care at all. My friend got mad and almost walked out the restaurant. We spent $150 for 4 people and didn't deserve 1 star service!

- Enjoyed the visitGolfer11Dined on 5/3/2014We had eaten at the LGB in Los Gatos, but this was our first visit to the location in San Jose. The layout and furnishing of the restaurant hasn't changed much from when it was AP Stumps, and that's generally a good thing. There are both booths and tables and the interior is nicely decorated. Our service was prompt and knowledgeable about the food and beer selection. Our visit was on a relatively quiet Saturday evening, with no Sharks game or local event at the SAP center so our experience was likely better than when the restaurant is full of folks eager to eat and get out.Special Features:
- good food and serviceHajiDined on 5/2/2014I liked the food selection and the locally made beer menu. Service was quick and easy with no problems at all. Later in the evening on Fridays they have jazz music which was a nice touch.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- LGBCFoodie4LifeDined on 4/26/2014The overall experience at LGBC was good. We went on the night of a Sharks game and the place was packed, we had to wait at least 15 minutes for a table even though we had made a reservation. The service was good considering how busy they were. The mussels in curry sauce appetizer was awesome and our server brought us extra bread to soak up all of the nummy bits. Overall, a good experience.Special Features:
- Pre Sharks game eatingSharksfanDined on 3/27/2014We split tickets with two other couples for Shark's games. As a result, we end up going to 10 games a year. When we meet other people prior to the game, we generally pick this restaurant. I would rate the grill as good. Food is typical grill food. Service is generally good. Pricing is moderate. Restaurant is clean. Noise is a little loud, but admittedly I am becoming less tolerant the older I get. Overall I give it an 8 on a scale of 1 -10.Special Features:
- Sharks dinnerPugsVIPDined on 3/20/2014Large portions of meat for the price compared to other restaurants, friendly staff and food was excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Shark's pre-game dinnerUpfromSantaCruzDined on 3/11/2014Prior to a Shark's game this place is packed and hard to get into unless you have a reservation or find a place at the bar. Food and service is great but it can get noisy on game nights.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OK PlaceRachelVIPDined on 3/5/2014It was a nice place to eat - maybe we just went there on an off night. There were two large tables and then us. We were sat near the large tables - and it was noisy. I'm not sure why they didn't seat us away - there were plenty of seats....so it was strange. Wait staff was ok - but not very attentive. Food was delicious - but it took a LONG time for it to come out.
- Pre-game DinnerBeezLuizDined on 3/4/2014Recently had dinner with a group of 4 prior to the Sharks hockey game. The place was very busy but we were seated quickly (due to reservations being made ahead of time). Most patrons were also heading to the game. Told our server we were on a time schedule due to the game and he made sure we were out of there in plenty of time to walk to the arena. Food was good and atmosphere was great!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great ServiceSuzyqDined on 3/1/2014Steven is a very attentive waiter. He made sure we were taken care of! Great service & food!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Expensive food was tastelessPeachesDined on 2/28/2014Expensive food was tasteless and the cheaper food was okay, but nothing to rave about. Drinks expensive! Cushions in booths are two low and spongy. Sit at a table! If you sit in the dining room, don't allow them to blast you with the music that should stay in the bar area.
- Never againrus95023Dined on 2/17/2014Entree came before the salad, no refill on drinks, never saw the waiter after our food came. Waited 10 minutes for the check after our dinner dishes were cleared.Special Features:
- Much too noisy. ConversationOpenTable Diner Since 2000VIPDined on 2/17/2014Much too noisy. Conversation can be a problem. Service was extremely swift. We were in no hurry since we had 2 hours before show time. We had an appetizer and main course in less than 30 minutes.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Helped Us Out with Wrong ResvOrlandoVisitorVIPDined on 2/17/2014We arrived at this restaurant in plenty of time for our 6pm reservation for 3 people, before a concert at SAP. It was getting busy and crowded, but I was confident, with my reservation in hand. The host then told us that my reservation was showing up for 5pm, 4 people. Huh. A glitch happened somewhere -- but they found us a great table, even with the line backing up behind us, and took care of us in time to make our concert. Great service from the staff!Special Features:
- Great time for a perfect occasiondjacseDined on 2/14/2014Steven was an amazing server and give him so much props on making my little brothers birthday the best it could be in the Lincoln room. He was extremely kind, energetic, knew what he was doing and made it the best possible for someone who has food allergiesSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Unbelievably Loud and Noisy!!bbtapperDined on 2/13/2014The noise level was almost unbearable! The food was so good; the service was great! Unless you are into the young professionals bar scene, stay away until about 7:30pm! The loud noise really detracts from the good food and service!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- sitting makes a differenceTammyDined on 2/7/2014We made reservation, and were sitted right away..awesome for a Friday e e evening. BUT.... our family of four were sitted at a table that could fit 6. it wasn't bad except we couldn't hear each other talk and it was difficult for use to share the amazing dipping oil over the large table. and we were nrxt to.a really be party yhat was yelling to talk to each other and making lots of group annoucements. We were looking to enjoy a brewing restaurant, but couldn't even see the tanks way in the back. even when we asked abput the beers, we didn't get much info. I feel we missed out with thi great restaurant, but not going to return and risk a repeat experience. Food was.good, not every day you can get a chicken thigh sandwich with slice of ham.Special Features:
- Good beer and average food.OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 2/1/2014Good beer and average food. Close to Sharks games.I would recommend this to a friend.
- invisible dinerssteveDined on 2/1/2014Showed up a little early for 5:15 reservations. Once we were seated, we chatted and looked over the menu and sat....and sat...and sat......several waiters cruised right past us as though we were not there (in a table in the middle of the dining room!) Finally, we had to shout out to one of the passing waiers to get some attention. He was nice enough and apologized and explained that Muffy (or whatever oue designated waitress was named) hadn't shown up yet to work her shift in our area of the restaurant. At that point, we didn't care about the excuse...we just wanted to eat and make it to the Sharks game in time. Very lame. Anyway, the food was ok once we were served. The waiter, although busy, managed to turn things around...mostly.
- First impressions!RmountainDined on 1/31/2014This was our first time coming to this restaurant and let me tell you, they killed it. We had reservations at 6, just before The Eagles were playing on Friday night and we were welcomed and seated right away. The place was already starting to fill up with concert goers and I'm assuming the local crowd. Our waiter came right away and got the drink orders. My wife and I were just starting to talk when the drinks and bread came. He took our food order, fish tacos and crab sliders, and within 10 minutes or so, he brought the food! The food was excellent and the service and ambiance was even better. The craft beer was excellent! We will definitely return!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great before a SAP eventRhopeDined on 1/31/2014Great location for dining before an event at the SAP Center. They have bike taxi's to take you if you are running late. Good walk if you prefer. Energy flows before a shark game. You would definitely want to make reservations.Special Features:
- Went before the Eagles concert,OpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 1/29/2014Went before the Eagles concert, the food and drink were very good. The service attentive and left us the perfect amount of time to make the show. We overheard the front desk tell customers only reservations were being served until late. Very much appreciated that they didn't pack the place to the detriment of service. Will go backSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Yummy salads and the New YorkOpenTable Diner Since 2004Dined on 1/25/2014Yummy salads and the New York Steak was delicious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Was just okayMoHilldinerDined on 1/23/2014Went for dinner before a Sharks game. The food came quick but my burger was well done when I asked for Medium Rare. Plus for it coming out so fast after I ordered it I was surprised it was only warm. The same was with the pulled pork sandwich we ordered. Made use wonder if they have stuff pre cooked so they can get orders out fast for Sharks game fans. Also the fries were only warm and were limp and not crispy. For how much the burger and pork sandwich were we won't return. We don't mind paying a higher price for a burger but it better be good and cooked correctly. This place was to have a good reputation and we were let down. I would pass especially on Sharks game nights.
- going to a concert? Forget about itjefflDined on 1/19/2014I made a reservation at this place because of its proximity to SAP Center for a concert I was taking my daughter and neice too. I thought 1 hour would be plenty of time. We were sat immediately but did not see a single server for 30 minutes. See that others were waiting a long time for their food we got up and left! We were relegated to eating hot dogs at the Arena instead. VERY FRUSTRATING!
- Boring lame and conservativeOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 1/16/2014San Jose downtown is not a happening place. But this place is below the happening level ...
- Sharks pre-gameBarfoodieDined on 1/11/2014Nice for bar scene but food is not the reason to visit. Mussels were excellent appetizer. beet salad was dry- dressing a nice option but needed to request. granted it was very busy with sharks and nfl playoffs happening. chicken kabob and pork choos were solid entrees. it was still fun for our group of 6. thanks for a reservation!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good Sports BarLindaDined on 1/11/2014We were there before a Sharks game so the place was very crowded and noisy( To be expected ). We sat for 20 minutes without seeing a waiter and finally had to flag one down. But, once we got the waiter he was very friendly and very attentive. The food was good and so were the beers and wine. A good place to go to start our evening.Special Features:
- perfect place for new yearsOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 12/31/2013perfect place for new years party, not too crowded and service and food were excellent! can't wait to go next new years.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- We had a group of 8 that turnedRunaDined on 12/31/2013We had a group of 8 that turned into a group of 10 on New Years Eve but we were accommodated without any problems at all! The server was pretty attentive but near the end (possibly because it was busier) we were sitting there waiting for him to come back after he had dropped off the dessert menus. We had to flag down another server to get our server for us. I had the Cobb Wrap which I'm still dreaming about! I love it! The chicken inside was perfect and so were the fries that came with it. I will definitely be returning here again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Thoughtful considerationlovelylady3Dined on 12/13/2013Since I have special needs that require that I bring my own food when dining with my friends, the staff have always been so accomodating and offer to heat my food or put it in their bowls. It takes the stress out for me and I can truly enjoy the experience of the restaurant. Many restaurants do not allow me to eat my own food there, which I understand, but I know I always have a place at Los Gatos Brewing Company!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

When Bethany School was built in 2007 at 570 Escuela Drive, the playground was never adequately sized to support the school's 450 first- to fifth-grade students, according to Principal Deborah Wingo.
So members of the foundation, who are parents of enrolled students, recently entered a national contest, Healthy Playground Makeover Sweepstakes, in hopes of winning the $30,000 prize that covers the cost of installing new playground equipment.
The contest is designed to reduce childhood obesity by creating healthy environments for children. On the website TogetherCounts.com, residents can vote for their favorite school.
"It doesn't hurt to try," said Becki Bradford, parent foundation president, as she watched her two children at the school playground Wednesday, Nov. 14. "It's not meeting the needs of our current population. We're asking for more climbing structures. Kids like climbing on stuff. Even a few more swings would be nice."
The playground has four swings, four climbing walls and a few climbing apparatuses, such as monkey bars and a spiraling metal climbing pole.
Children typically have to wait in line to use some of the equipment, according to Nacera Gorman, who was at the playground Wednesday watching her two children play.
She said the contest was a "great opportunity" for the school to expand the playground.
Bradford said the foundation first heard about the contest Oct. 18 and signed up right away. She said expanding the playground was already on the foundation's to-do list for the next two years.
Before learning about the contest, Bradford said the foundation had already set a goal of raising $30,000 through various school fundraisers, including a crab feed and auction in February, to upgrade the playground.
Voting for Bethany is a simple process, Bradford said. Once a resident registers on the contest website, that resident can vote once a day by entering his or her ZIP code and clicking on Bethany School.
Votes can be submitted until March 15, and the winner will be announced March 19.
"There is a lot of time left, and some people forget about it," Bradford said. "We want to get our message out there and keep reminding people (to vote)."

I hate when they do this.
Welp, Taylor's drunk again, but this time her oversharing is actually really touching. She feels like she's cheating on her late husband if she dates. It's especially hard for her to process because he took his own life. She really should keep talking about this, because she definitely needs to get it out. Just not at this party.
Plus, Taylor's lawsuit was settled. And Brandi's is just getting started. Yolanda wonders why Adrienne is bothering to go through all of this, reminding us all why she is awesome. Kyle knows why: to intimidate Brandi. Wonder if she'll say that to Adrienne's face?

Yolanda and Lisa both feel like Adrienne's going overboard by throwing her money and power in Brandi's face. Brandi already spent $2000 she didn't have in hiring that lawyer. Yolanda also feels like Brandi should have womanned up and apologized. Brandi claims she tried to call Adrienne, but then the lawyer sent her a letter. Mauricio suggests that Adrienne may back off if Brandi apologizes. Seriously doubt it.
Lisa is right. Adrienne did say, "Friends don't sue friends." Plus, as Taylor aptly notes, the physical abuse she suffered for years was considered fair game. Why should Adrienne's boundaries be respected if Taylor's weren't?
Kim -- the absolute last person I expected to be guilty of victim blaming -- chimes in, saying that Taylor could've easily ended her marriage. Have you never read a pamphlet on domestic violence? It's rarely as simple as just packing your bags.
Brandi starts to squirm and is ready to leave, but Taylor pushes her to stay and fight her battle. With their history, it's really big of Taylor to support Brandi like this.
Mauricio has always been personally offended by Brandi's comments, but when he starts really badgering Brandi, Ken jumps to the rescue. Mauricio wants to know why Brandi even made the dreaded comment, but Ken thinks that's beside the point. Ken slips up and says it was the truth, anyway, but Lisa, not eager to be sued, whispers that they don't "know" for sure. Well-played.
Finally, Brandi gets tough with Mauricio, because he really was being a jerk. Back down, guy. This has nothing to do with you. Ken's right. Brandi's lawyer would probably advise her not to call Adrienne. Ken does get a little Cro-Magnon when he starts going on about Brandi having "no man protecting her" but the heart of his comments are true: Adrienne is essentially picking on her at this point.
Then Kim steps up to the plate to discuss Brandi calling her a drug addict way back when. Brandi says she was trying to defend herself both times, but Kim is firm.
Finally, Lisa makes another obvious argument against all this madness. Where was all of this anti-gossip talk when Adrienne was busy accusing her of selling stories?
Mauricio tries to dismiss that as superficial, but it was a threat to her integrity. Brandi's taking responsibility for her actions, but that's not enough for Mauricio. He thinks she deserves what she's getting.
Brandi's right. He really should shut up.
Next week: A trip to a swanky art gallery plus the return of Adrienne and Paul. Joy.

Neuroendocrine Research Unit
The Neuroendocrine Research Unit at the EVMS Strelitz Diabetes Center, directed by Aaron Vinik, MD, PhD, is a global authority on neuroendocrine tumors, diabetes, diabetic complications, somatic and autonomic neuropathy. It is the leading research unit for the advancement of our understanding of diabetic neuropathy (DN). The Unit, in collaboration with other investigators, has gradually pushed the envelope as it delves deeper into the etiology and pathology of neuropathy.
From decades of study, the Research Unit spearheads the application of novel treatments for diabetic neuropathy. It seeks to understand neuropathy with an emphasis on a bench-to-bedside approach, and it auspiciously follows this mantra as translational discoveries resonate along its hallways. The Unit is home to many first in the field of neuropathy. It was the first to designate a modular approach to diabetic neuropathy, evaluating and treating neuropathy based on the type of nerve fiber involved. It was the first to describe the relationship between neuropathy and its co-morbidities: anxiety, depression and insomnia. Recently, it showed that with treatment of topiramate, a known pharmaceutical compound, small nerve fibers in diabetic neuropaths were regenerated in a span of 18 months. This discovery brings into question the prevailing belief that peripheral nerves are unable to regenerate.
The Research Unit's translational approach to diabetic neuropathy permeates in its role as a global leader in the development of technological devices for assessing disease progression. DN is a complex, evolving disease necessitating careful and objective monitoring. Through an array of novel diagnostic devices, including contact heat evoked potential stimulation (CHEPS) and sudorimetry, the Unit seeks to follow disease progression, even prior to its clinical onset.
As all discoveries go, one of the key discoveries in the field of diabetic treatment hails from EVMS. Islet neogenesis associated protein (INGAP) was discovered at the Unit's laboratory. INGAP plays a role in the development of insulin producing cells of the pancreas, and its therapeutic potential could cure millions of people who live with type 1 diabetes.

Matthew Chong placed first for CBU in the 100 breast and clocked a respectable time of 1:02.22.

New York Fashion Week is held twice a year. Designers preview and show off their latest collections every February and September inside giants tents covering most of the eight acres of Bryant Park.
We LOVE fashion and will talk fashion anytime, but this April is special because this April, our Spring Author Series continues to unfold with an author and fashion expert whose remarks and collection are in vogue, in demand, and most desirable no matter what the season.
Wednesday, April 28 at 7 p.m.
CHARLOTTE SMITH - Author of Dreaming of Dior: Every Dress Tells a Story
Five years ago, Charlotte Smith, Curator of The Fashion and Textile Gallery in Sydney, Australia, inherited a priceless vintage clothing collection from her American Quaker godmother, Doris Darnell. Dating from 1790 to 1995, the collection had been a lifetime labor of love for Darnell and consists of more than 5,000 treasures, ranging from a pioneer woman's daintily mended best dress to couture originals by Dior, Chanel, and Balenciaga. Once Smith received the collection and unearthed her godmother's book of stories about the dresses and the women who wore them, the true value of what was bequeathed to her actually hit home – that this isn't a mere collection of beautiful things; it is a collection of lives – tiny snapshots of joys and disappointments, entrances and exits, and triumphs and tragedies. The book, complete with gorgeous illustrations by Grant Cowan, is for any woman who knows that a dress can hold a lifetime of memories. The author's presentation will include a display of several pieces from the collection.
Please join us for this special event!
A book signing will follow the presentation. Books will be available for purchase.
Refreshments will be served.

- Studio: Sony Pictures Classics
- Release Date: Mar 9, 2012
- Starring: Aliza Rosen, Lior Ashkenazi, Shlomo Bar-Aba
Eliezer and Uriel Shkolnik are both eccentric professors, who have dedicated their lives to their work in Talmudic Studies. The father, Eliezer, is a stubborn purist who fears the establishment and has never been recognized for his work. Meanwhile his son, Uriel, is an up-and-coming star in the field, who appears to feed on accolades, endlessly seeking recognition. Then one day, the tables turn. When Eliezer learns that he is to be awarded the Israel Prize, the most valuable honor for scholarship in the country, his vanity and desperate need for validation are exposed. His son, Uriel, is thrilled to see his father's achievements finally recognized but, in a darkly funny twist, is forced to choose between the advancement of his own career and his father's. Will he sabotage his father's glory? (Sony Pictures Classics)

Nothing has exploded on the screen in recent years as violently as that mad quarrel in a tiny room - a room that is Israel itself. [16 April 2012, p.86]
Footnote is itself a perfect little piece of Talmud, full of text, commentary, and colorful argument.
Footnote has two of the best performances I've seen in world cinema over the past year: One from Shlomo Bar Aba (apparently best known in Israel as a stand-up comic and stage actor), playing the aging, bitter philologist Eliezer Shkolnik, and the other from Lior Ashkenazi, one of the country's best known movie stars, as his son and rival, Uriel.
Cedar's idiosyncratically brilliant script also has a moral question at its heart: Is lying to spare someone's feelings ever justified? Surely the Talmud has a thing or two to say about that.
Mar 23, 2012Most footnotes don't get a passing glance, but this one proves worthy of careful study.
Mar 7, 2012The love, jealousy, and stubborn pride of the relationship between Ashkenazi and Bar-Aba is the heart of the film, and that makes the deliberately uncertain note of the ending particularly frustrating.
Joseph Cedar's Footnote is a sour, rather unpleasant affair that hinges on acts of Jews behaving badly.

Apr 21, 2012This is an intense (& sometimes funny) story about scholarship and competition between a father & son researching & writing in the same academic field The academic tensions & jargon are enough to warrant a trip to the theater, but the complex family relationships give the film just the right amount of emotional content. Scholarship is shown as active, intellectual work, & I've never seen the painful act of writing & striving for just the right word depicted as well. The rivalries & betrayals that academia engenders are violent in their passionate intensity. I'm looking forward to more films by Joseph Cedar.… Expand
Dec 12, 2012An impeccably written character study from Israel that is at times exhilarating, angry, passionate, funny, provocative, and is never less than absolutely absorbing. The writing, first of all, is due the most praise. It is so focused and attuned to the tone of the story that I instantly knew these two men. I was never left scratching my head at any point, lost in all of the talk of Talmud scholarship. The acting is amazingly restrained. The two actors who play father and son, competing in the same, very small field, are astounding. I feel as though they have lived these lives and completely understand the relationship they have and only through their eyes. I would only dismiss … Expand

Realty Broker says...
Being emotionally attached to a home could cost you the sale.
Be realistic when an offer comes in, Is your home in a high demand location or are you located in an area that has few - no sales.
If your home is in top notch condition and a high demand location then, possible you are well advised to hold out for a better offer.
If however, your home - property is in an undesireable or difficult to sell location and is in poor condition then, seriously consider what you have before you decline the offer. Generally your first offer is the best offer.
Greed gets you nothing. If you're holding out for that perfect price, you might wait and wait until all that's offered is 10k offers. Your ideal price should be roughly 2.5x what you could be talked into with some extra effort on the part of the buyer. Ask them to throw something in, and make it a deal. That said, if it's like a 1/10 of the price you think, either the guy is trying to con you (don't say no flatly, find out what other people would offer), or there's something wrong, like a bad area.
Another piece of advice is to BE PATIENT! yes, offers may get lower but if the comparable values are substantially higher you should wait for a better offer. If you don't know what a comparable value is ..get a life ! Just check out 10-15 houses and you can tell where you are in the market. Sometimes JUNK is JUNK no matter what an agent tells you. As a periodic buyer of homes, you can tell if someone is going to move or not. I mean, some folks will list a house tracking the mortgage payment down. Insane! Just take your 10-15 k hit as a selloer and get it on the buying side.

check out this clip from practice the other night!
To all those who don't think the rape joke was a problem, or rape jokes are a problem.
I get it, you're a decent guy. I can even believe it. You've never raped anybody. You would NEVER rape anybody. You're upset that all these feminists are trying to accuse you of doing something or connect you to doing something that, as far as you're concerned, you've never done and would never condone.
And they've told you about triggers, and PTSD, and how one in six women is a survivor, and you get it. You do. But you can't let every time someone gets all upset get in the way of you having a good time, right?
So fine. If all those arguments aren't going anything for you, let me tell you this. And I tell you this because I genuinely believe you mean it when you say you don't want to hurt anybody, and you don't see the harm, and that it's important to you to do your best to be a decent and good person. And I genuinely believe you when you say you would never associate with a rapist and you think rape really is a very bad thing.
Because this is why I refuse to take rape jokes sitting down-
6% of college age men, slightly over 1 in 20, will admit to raping someone in anonymous surveys, as long as the word "rape" isn't used in the description of the act.
6% of Penny Arcade's target demographic will admit to actually being rapists when asked.
A lot of people accuse feminists of thinking that all men are rapists. That's not true. But do you know who think all men are rapists?
Rapists do.
They really do. In psychological study, the profiling, the studies, it comes out again and again.
Virtually all rapists genuinely believe that all men rape, and other men just keep it hushed up better. And more, these people who really are rapists are constantly reaffirmed in their belief about the rest of mankind being rapists like them by things like rape jokes, that dismiss and normalize the idea of rape.
If one in twenty guys is a real and true rapist, and you have any amount of social activity with other guys like yourself, really cool guy, then it is almost a statistical certainty that one time hanging out with friends and their friends, playing Halo with a bunch of guys online, in a WoW guild, or elsewhere, you were talking to a rapist. Not your fault. You can't tell a rapist apart any better than anyone else can. It's not like they announce themselves.
But, here's the thing. It's very likely that in some of these interactions with these guys, at some point or another someone told a rape joke. You, decent guy that you are, understood that they didn't mean it, and it was just a joke. And so you laughed.
And, decent guy who would never condone rape, who would step in and stop rape if he saw it, who understands that rape is awful and wrong and bad, when you laughed?
That rapist who was in the group with you, that rapist thought that you were on his side. That rapist knew that you were a rapist like him. And he felt validated, and he felt he was among his comrades.
You. The rapist's comrade.
And if that doesn't make you feel sick to your stomach, if that doesn't make you want to throw up, if that doesn't disturb you or bother you or make you feel like maybe you should at least consider not participating in that kind of humor anymore…
Well, maybe you aren't as opposed to rapists as you claim.
Time-Machine (via a comment at shakesville.com)
Single greatest argument about this I have ever heard.
(via justintheallan)
"Because when I was a kid and going to punk rock shows, there weren't any girls on stage playing instruments that weren't there as a pretty prop. Girls that weren't afraid to get their make-up smeared and look sweaty.. To be fearless and make the stage their own. It's what gets me out of bed in the morning. To suddenly have that all taken away from me, and become 'the wife of', is without a doubt the most disappointing and fucking heartbreaking thing that could ever happen, because it's exactly the opposite of what I stand for. It's not only detrimental to me as a person, but the message that this fucking conveys to the girls that come to see us play is 'You can work your ass off for ten years and you can be amazing, but at the end of the day you will simply be who you're married to. Is this nineteen-fucking-fifty-three?"

Everton Under-21s' unbeaten streak ended with a 2-1 defeat to Arsenal at Finch Farm on Monday afternoon.
Alan Stubbs' side had recorded three successive victories on the back of last month's 1-1 draw with Reading, but they found their good run of form halted by a brace from Thomas Eisfeld.
It was always going to be a competitive outing as soon as the sides were announced, with Stubbs utilising the maximum quota of overage players.
Tony Hibbert was handed his first action since the first-team's 2-2 draw with Newcastle in September, while summer signing Bryan Oviedo also grabbed the chance to play a full 90 minutes.
Thomas Hitzlsperger was an unused substitute for David Moyes' team on Sunday at QPR, but started against the Gunners as he bids to win a long-term deal on Merseyside.
Arsenal, meanwhile, used the fixture to aid the much anticipated returns of three first-team players.
Jack Wilshere continued his rehabilitation from an ankle injury that has blighted the midfielder's last 18 months, while experienced full-back Bacary Sagna looked for fitness after a five-month absence.
Emmanuel Frimpong also took to the field as he aimed to recover the form he displayed before injury curtailed his loan spell at Wolves last term.
And so to the action, which was predictably as frantic as it was pleasing to the eye. The experience and ability in the respective personnel showed and it took a mistake at the back to create the first real opening.
Arsenal defender Ignasi Miquel took too much time on the ball on the edge of his own area and Apostolos Vellios was on hand to catch him off guard, seize possession and calmly slot past Emiliano Martinez after just four minutes.
Six minutes later however, the visitors were level.
Full-back Jernade Meade beat Hibbert to the byline and cut back for Eisfeld to finish with ease.
Chances came and went soon after, with Hitzlsperger firing a trademark left-footed rocket narrowly over, while Meade also went close after receiving a perfect cross-field pass.
On 34 minutes, the Gunners took what would turn out to be an unassailable lead.
Good work from Wilshere saw the midfielder cut inside and deliver a pass to the feet of Eisfeld. The German made no mistake with a drilled effort to make it 2-1.
Tyias Browning replaced Sam Kelly at half-time and forced a reshuffle down both flanks. Hibbert switched to left-back, with Oviedo pushed ahead and Matthew Kennedy transferred to the right-wing.Johan Hammar almost restored parity soon after the interval, but his glancing header evaded the goal and the far-post following good work down the Blues' left.
Eisfeld went agonisingly close to completing his hat-trick, but was denied by the woodwork. His long-range drive cannoned back off the crossbar and away to safety.
The game developed into even more of a midfield battle, with Francisco Junior, John Lundstram and Hitzlsperger chaperoning the lively Wilshere and Frimpong.
The final whistle signalled a 2-1 defeat for the Blues, who now face a trip to face West Ham on Friday 26 October.

Randy Foye scored 20 points and Al Jefferson added 15 to lead the Utah Jazz to a 98-91 overtime victory over the Sacramento Kings on Monday night at Energy Solutions.
The Jazz started slowly and converted only three of their first 11 possessions.
Sacramento built a 16-8 lead before back-to-back three-point shots by Foye and Marvin Williams gives Utah some life.
It was 22-16 before the Jazz closed with baskets by Derrick Favors and Alec Burks, who buried a 15-foot baseline jumper as time expired.
In the second quarter, DeMarre Carroll and Enes Kanter helped Utah open a 29-24 lead.
The Jazz committed four turnovers on their next five possessions, but Favors stopped a run by the Kings with a three-point play.
Utah maintained a 44-34 lead with only 1:31 left in the half, but the Kings closed on a 9-0 run to stay close.
The bad news for Sacramento? As the teams were going to the locker room, DeMarcus Cousins was given his second technical foul and ejected from the game.
Sacramento, however, dominated most of the second half.
The Kings owned an 82-75 lead with just over four minutes before Utah rallied.
In fact, the Jazz took a 84-82 lead with 1:55 remaining but missed three long jumpers on their final three possessions.
In the overtime, Foye scored six points and Paul Millsap added four as Utah escaped with a hard-fought victory.

Tom, Sharon and daughter Tracy Ely were traveling in their RV going south for business when all of a sudden it caught fire and quickly exploded.
"All of our clothes, laptop, desktop computer, notebooks to do business with, photographs and personal things, and had all of our product to do business with." Tom Ely said.
With no home and all their belongings gone, the three had nowhere to go. Then some Montgomery County Sheriff's deputies decided to help out, and began searching nearby hotels for the family to stay.
"The officers went beyond the call of duty, they were getting calls to do other things and they said no we got to finish this," said Dee Hustler, regional director of Civitan International. "They were attempting to get a room and pay out of their own pocket."
During the officer's efforts to get a room for the Elys, at one hotel they ran across members of the Civitan International Club who were at a regional conference. The club found out about the family's dire state and decided to pitch in providing money for a room, clothing and food. What makes it even more unique is the organization specializes in helping people with disabilities, and 35-year-old Tracy has Down syndrome.
"That's our focus and we were just glad we could do something," Hustler said. "I think it says you have to treat people like you want to be treated, and help people in difficult situations and so you never know when it will be you next."
"I'm just overwhelmed and just so thankful that they care so much, and it's just so wonderful that they were here in this hotel having this meeting," Sharon Ely said. "It's a miracle."
This isn't the first time the family has overcome adversities. At the age of two Tracy had open heart surgery, and at ten she was diagnosed with leukemia. The Elys say once again their hardships are turning out good and one they will never forget.
"I don't know what tomorrow holds, but I believe that we have been impacted by this," Tom Ely said. "Our lives are different by meeting these people, and knowing these people are there and their love is real."
"It makes me happy." Tracy Ely adds.
