Capello offers Scholes international return
Fabio Capello is set to offer Paul Scholes another chance to return to international football according to reports on the back pages today.
The England manager watched the 35-year-old midfielders shine in Manchester United's 2-2 draw with Fulham at the weekend and wants to confirm if he would be interested in the upcoming taking part in the Euro 2012 qualifying campaign.
Scholes turned down an offer to play in this summer's World Cup claiming that he had been given just a couple of hours to decide if he wanted to come out of international retirement.
However, the midfielder later expressed regret at not travelling to South Africa citing Capello's decision to ask his assistant Franco Baldini to make contact with the Manchester United veteran as disappointing.
'I had only been given a couple of hours, so it was a bit of a rush job,' Scholes said in an interview last week. 'But the World Cup is the biggest tournament you can be involved in. I wish I had gone. I did feel as though I had made the wrong decision. There was a touch of regret, but it doesn't matter now. It's gone.'
Despite claiming that he would focus on developing young players following England's poor showing in South Africa, it looks as if Capello will turn to a player who hasn't represented England since Euro 2004 in Portugal.

How To Write A Business Plan
A good business plan can serve as a useful roadmap and reminder of your goals, plans and challenges.
Do you value the success of your business? A business plan is essentially your answers to a list of comprehensive questions. A good question to ask is, 'Where do you want your business to go?'
A business plan creates direction from the outset. We know that growing or starting your own business is difficult, keep your business on track through this initial process with a Business Plan. Plus, it is also a common requirement when seeking finance.
What elements and questions are involved in your business plan? Below the following components can help you create an executive summary:
Company Analysis:
This outlines the strengths of what your company offers, this may be present products or services as well as how these can be developed in the future. Future products and service offered may be outlined.
Competitive Analysis:
This is an important step as knowing who your competitors are and what their key strengths and weaknesses will give your business a competitive edge. It forces you to think about what areas will you have or gain competitive advantage? Think about how to do so. A SWOT analysis of your competitors is beneficial at this stage.
Customer Analysis:

In just hours, Trade Minister Freeland will sign Canada on to the Trans-Pacific Partnership.
The TPP is one of Stephen Harper's biggest legacies. The sweeping "free" trade deal will let corporations sue governments in special courts for laws that might hurt their 'expected' profits, and it could severely damage our access to medication, internet freedom and workers' rights. In short, it's a massive corporate power grab. But the TPP must still be ratified by Parliament. So we still have a chance to stop it. PLEASE SIGN HERE.

|7614-7616 N. Eastlake Terrace
Anyway, this is a handsome brick and terra cotta apartment building nearly as far north as you can get before crossing over into Evanston. The location is described as suburban, and I suppose it was in 1917 (or 1922). Now this block of Eastlake is dense with small and large apartments. Of course it still has spectacular proximity to the lake and to transit, as noted below:
And what is birch mahogany? Is that birch stained to resemble dark mahogany? Can you really call that mahogany? And don't forget the convenient trash shoots. These worked just fine in 3-story buildings. Less so in anything higher than that.
This building is surprisingly intact. It lost some ornament above the gable parapet, but it still has the tile mansard roof and the copper ornament above the entrance. The windows are long gone, which is not unusual. The historic image is dark, but I'm pretty sure the building has the original wood door and sidelights.
Even with the staggered bays the configuration of the units are very similar. The differences in size probably permitted a range of rents. Both units have maid's rooms at the rear, with easy access to the kitchen and pantry. Both plans allow for a small receiving hall. And like most narrow apartments, they use a corridor to organize their circulation. Not the fanciest apartment on the market at the time, but a solid design with a decent amount of space.
This building somehow avoided the condo craze, and is still in use as apartments.

Live Reactions – Elimination Chamber 2015 – First ever Tag Team Elimination Chamber Match
We kick off the main card of tonight's show with the first ever Tag Team Elimination Chamber match. The WWE Tag Team Championships are on the line in this one. The Prime Time Players enter first. Los Matadores come in next and El Torito is hoisted up and stands on top of their pod. Apparently, he will be allowed to stay in the chamber as well. Cesaro & Tyson Kidd come out next. And New Day are the final entries to be locked in a pod. This leaves The Ascension and Lucha Dragons as the only two teams left, thus those two teams start the match, assuming that we don't see Luke Harper & Erick Rowan pull an Edge and steal somebody else's spot. Here comes The Ascension. Only one team left to enter. And here come the Lucha Dragons. No surprise entries in this one it seems as the Chamber is locked.
Ascension aggressive early, but Lucha Dragons counter into simultaneous Moonsaults. Konnor chucks both Lucha Dragons out to the steel grating. They take turns kicking Konnor in the head. Kalisto hits a Flying Crossbody, following by a Flying Senton from Sin Cara. Dragons work over Konnor and Viktor in the corner. Ascension both turn the tables and beat down the Lucha Dragons in the corner. Kalisto goes to the top of New Day's pod while Ascension work over Sin Cara. New Day pull Kalisto's legs through the chains and prevent him from helping his partner. Both Ascension climb to the top rope and try to pull Kaliso off the pod, but Kalisto kicks them both in the head and knocks them down. Sin Cara goes up to the top of Cesaro & Kidd's pod. Sin Cara hits Viktor with a Senton from the top of the pod. Kalisto is still sitting there on top of New Day's pod. Now he stands up and Lucha chants, but New Day trip him again and crotch him on top of their pod's chains.
Countdown ensues and the next team is released and it's Cesaro and Kidd. Cesaro and Kidd work over The Ascension and get a near fall on Konnor with a 3D into a European Upper Cut instead of a Cutter. Kidd goes up after Kalisto and tries to free him from the top of New Day's pod. Kalisto knocks him down and Cesaro leap frogs Kidd and lands on the top rope and then hops up and hits Kalisto with a Flying European Upper Cut. Cesaro then Superplexes Kalisto from the top of the pod and Kidd hits a Springboard Elbow Drop off the top rope and makes the cover, but Sin Cara breaks it up in time to save his partner from elimination. Cesaro and Kidd chuck the Lucha Dragons out of the ring. Now, they go back to beating on Ascension while Lucha Dragons get a breather outside the ring. Viktor flattens Kidd and covers him, but Cesaro makes the save. Kidd trips up Viktor and puts him in the Sharpshooter. Konnor quickly breaks it up. Cesaro throws Viktor out of the ring. Sin Cara back in with a whirlybird special and drives Cesaro into the mat. Kalisto goes for a Hurricanranna on Cesaro outside the ring, but Cesaro catches him. Kalisto ends up on the chains and climbs up on the PTPs pod. Lots of near falls and powerslams in the ring while Kalisto stays on top of the pod while we get a new countdown.
Los Matadores come in and El Torito dives off the top of the pod an dhits a Hurricanranna on Cesaro. Bodies everywhere as Kalisto climbs all the way up the ceiling of the pod and hangs swinging from the top of the pod and lets himself fall down into The Ascension and Cesaro. Los Matadores go for some covers, but don't get a three count on anybody. Now Torito is copying Kalisto. Torito drops off on Ascension, but is caught and then chuck him into Primo out of the ring and then hit Epico with the Fall of Man and get a three count for the first elimination. Lucha Dragons dive in and take down both members of The Ascension. Ascension back on the attack and hit Kalisto with the Fall of Man and cover him for their second elimination of the match. Ascension work over Kidd and Cesaro as we get a new countdown and the Prime Time Players come in next. Of course, New Day is last.
PTPs battle Ascension and Titus clobbers Viktor outside the ring and throws him into the chain wall several times. Darren Young hits his Double Gutbuster finish on Viktor and covers him and The Ascension is gone. PTPs now work over Cesaro and Kidd. Kidd counters into a Spinning Fisherman Suplex, only to get steamrolled by Titus. Cesaro then Clotheslines Titus and puts Darren up on the top turnbuckle and hits a terrific Suplex to Young sitting on the top turnbuckle. Cesaro with a Gutwrench Superplex on Young while Titus Powerbombs Cesaro. Can't have one of these matches without the cliche Tower of Doom spot. Titus hits Kidd with a huge Spinebuster. Young covers Kidd for a near fall. New Day is now clammoring to get into the match with all 4 men down in the ring.
Countdown ensues and here they come, using their numbers advantage and clobbering everyone. Cesaro blocks a Triple Suplex and both Cesaro & Kidd and the PTPs Suplex all 3 members of New Day and the numbers are reversed as it's 4 on 3 now. Cesaro and Kidd lock Woods back in the New Day's pod. Cesaro and Kidd dominate in the ring and execute the Giant Swing into a Dropkick on Kingston. Darren Young rolls up Cesaro from behind in a Schoolboy and gets the surprise three count and Cesaro and Kidd are eliminated.
It's down to New Day against the Prime Time Players and now Big E has let Xavier back out of the pod and it's a 3-on-2 beatdown. Big E and Xavier whip Titus into a Double Knee Blast to the face from Kofi in the corner. They choke Titus on the chains and kick the crap out of him outside the ring 3-on-1. Titus is now out of commission for the moment while they triple team Young. They set up for a move off the top rope, but Young counters and knocks everybody down and hurls Big E through the ropes in the corner where he crashes into the ring post and bangs his head off the pod. Everybody catches a breather.
Titus back up and knocks out Xavier with a Big Boot. Young drops Kofi onto the top rope and Titus slams Big E against the chains a few times. Kofi throws Young over the turnbuckle in the corner and sends him crashing to the steal. Titus catches Kofi and slings him into the chains a few times. Titus flattens Big E with a Clothesline in the ring. Darren catches Kofi off the ropes on his shoulders and does the Double Gutbuster finish into the cover, but Kingston kicks out for a near fall. Titus whips Big E into the ropes, but Big E catches him with an Elbow to the face. Big E with a Belly-to-Belly on Young on the steel. Big E charges Titus and is caught in a Powerslam for a cover and a near fall. Titus catches Xavier going for a Flying Crossbody and slams him down onto his knee. Kofi charges out of the corner and hits Titus with Trouble in Paradise, knocking him over with Woods landing on top of him. Big E and Kofi pile on in a three man cover and get the three count.
New Day celebrates as they retain the championships. Outstanding action in this one. It was hard to keep up at times. I'm not sure exactly what they thought they would accomplish by sending Kalisto up to dangle from the ceiling, but the move was very bland and they made him hang up there for a long time and he looked like he almost feel three or four different times. The match was anything but boring, even though it ate up the first 40 minutes or so of the Pay Per View. There was all kinds of moves that I've never seen before in decades of watching professional wrestling.
The Return of Rob Van Dam
Everybody right now is super excited that Rob Van Dam is returning to the WWE at Money in the Bank on July 14 in Philadelphia. It's great news and he should put on a hell of a show, but is he going to be on the road day in and day out or is he going to wrestle a schedule similar to that of Brock Lesnar?
I think he pretty much has to be working a limited schedule based on past experience because we are all well aware of his exploits in the field of recreational marijuana. It's what had him moving out the door back in 2006 when an arrest along with Sabu. RVD was the WWE and ECW dual champion at the time and the incident led to him promptly dropping the two titles on back-to-back nights almost 7 years ago to the date to Edge and Big Show respectively.
If he comes back full time, I think it's only a matter of time until he faces and weed-induced suspension under the WWE's Wellness Policy and maybe gets himself shuffled right back out the door. A limited schedule, meaning limited travel and limited wear and tear on his body probably lessens that possibility. And sure, he's only 42, but he's been a professional wrestler for almost a quarter of a century now (24 years, he was a 7-year veteran before debuting in ECW in 1996) and a light schedule is never a bad idea for a guy that has been wrestling that long.
And for those of you that want to point out that after Jack Swagger had his weed-related issues, he still got to compete in a title match at Wrestlemania and continue working for another couple of months afterward, I think he got very lucky on that count because the arrest was enough for him to be suspended immediately under the Wellness Policy in lieu of a positive drug test. However, being that WWE had already started building toward the Fox News type of storyline with Swagger and World Champion Alberto Del Rio and not having anybody else that they could fit in there and have that kind of supposedly edgy storyline, it feels like they deferred letting the ax fall on Swagger until after that storyline had run it's course. Notice, he hasn't been around since Extreme Rules almost 1 1/2 months ago. Maybe it's kind of convenient that he "got injured" now when he was probably destined for a few months on the bench anyway. So, I wouldn't be too inclined to think that the treatment of Swagger is a sign that RVD's drug violations, should they come up again, wouldn't be an issue. However, I'm sure that all of that was discussed with him before he agreed to come back.
But where does he fit in after Money in the Bank? I'm just going to go ahead and assume that he does not win the match that they are billing as "Money in the Bank All-Stars" against CM Punk, Daniel Bryan, Randy Orton, Sheamus, Kane and Christian. Four guys are coming into that match having already won a Money in the Bank briefcase (Daniel Bryan, Kane, Rob Van Dam and CM Punk twice) and I think if anybody is going to be another repeat winner, it will either be Bryan or Punk and not a guy who has been working for another company for the past 3 years and has proven to be unreliable in the past. My best guess for what happens to RVD is that he gets sucked into a rivalry with the Shield. The Shield vs. Daniel Bryan, Kane, Sheamus, Randy Orton, Kofi Kingston, Ryback and John Cena stuff has pretty much been done to death and they are surely moving on and RVD might be an ideal target for the so-called "Hounds of Justice" to make even more of a name for themselves after they seemed destined to get a serious downgrade in competition and wrestle teams from the fledgling tag team division like The Usos regularly now. I kind of expect them to select a new big-name target soon and Rob Van Dam on the night he makes his return to WWE just feels like the direction this would go next for them logically.
While I would greatly enjoy seeing RVD match up against guys that are going to give him guaranteed great matches like CM Punk, Chris Jericho, Daniel Bryan and Dolph Ziggler – I'm intrigued at the possibility of seeing him work against some new blood as well and we've already seen that The Shield, Seth Rollins in particular, can put on great matches against guys that fly around the ring a lot like Daniel Bryan and RVD both tend to do. And just maybe RVD can bring along a couple of other ECW alumni, even for one night only, to take on The Shield at SummerSlam. RVD, Sabu & Tommy Dreamer vs. The Shield? It's not out of the question.
Real American Top 10 – Potential Choices to replace John Laurinaitis as General Manager of Raw and / or Smackdown
With the Era of "People Power" thankfully over at long last thanks to John Cena's victory over Big Show at No Way Out and the subsequent firing of John Laurinaitis by Vince McMahon himself, there exists a power vacuum at the top of the WWE. Will one individual be put in charge of both Raw and Smackdown or will we go back to having a separate General Manager for each show? Could Teddy Long get his job back as Smackdown GM? Could we see Vickie Guerrero returned to power? Could one of GM Johnny's former lackeys (David Otunga or Eve Torres) be promoted? Will Vince or Triple H step up to retake responsibility for the shows? Tonight, I assume we're going to find out just how that power vacuum will be filled, but until then, here are some suggestions and possibilities courtesy of the Real American Top 10.
10) William Regal – Formerly the Commissioner of the Alliance during the Invasion storyline and also formerly the General Manager of Raw, Regal plays the part of authority figure pretty well and he also never fails to entertain when that authority is stripped away with him, usually taking his dignity with it. During his last stint running Raw, he would attempt to manipulate the crowd by turning out to the power in the arena until they gave him the respect he felt he deserved. Other than his one backstage segment on Raw last week where we were reminded of him being inducted into the dreaded "Kiss My Ass" club, he hasn't been on Raw or Smackdown in a very long time and the last time I recall seeing him compete was in the "People Power" Battle Royal at Over the Limit. Since his in-ring career may be winding down or finished as far as WWE is concerned, we could perhaps see him return to a position of authority.
9) Kevin Nash – He tweeted earlier today that he would be running Raw tonight, but I don't really buy it. He could be a solid option because he'd add another veteran presence and he is obviously still on good terms with the company after returning at the Royal Rumble last year and also being involved in a program with Triple H all the way from SummerSlam to TLC.
8) Ric Flair – Having recently ended his association with TNA, Flair is back on the market and I've heard rumors that Flair could be returning to WWE as a manager and his name has been linked with that of Dolph Ziggler. However, he's another solid choice to run a show and the young stars in WWE have always been able to benefit from having Naitch's veteran presence in the locker room to go to for advice. He also has been an authority figure in the past as a "Co-Owner" of the WWE following the end of the WCW / ECW Invasion storyline.
7) Mick Foley – Formerly the commissioner before the era of the brand extension and one of the best management personas in the history of the WWE. Foley still makes regular appearances.
6) Stone Cold Steve Austin – He's been Co-General Manager of Raw and easily the #1 ass-kicker in WWE history. Nobody gets a louder ovation than when that glass shatters and Stone Cold appears. We missed out on Austin this Wrestlemania season and I doubt we could be seeing him back on Raw on a regular basis in the near future with his time being taken up by his new show Ledneck Island and he's still in demand for several B-movies a year.
5) Shane McMahon – Easily the most beloved on the McMahon family. He has been a part of some of the most death defying stunts in the history of the WWE, from falling off the TitanTron at SummerSlam to putting Kane in a limo and sending him into a speeding crash into a tractor trailer. It's questionable whether or not Shane would ever come back to being a regular on screen talent, but I think we'd all love to have him back.
4) Shawn Michaels – The Heartbreak Kid shows up around Wrestlemania season every year, but surely that can't be enough. Like Foley, he's been the commissioner before with some terrific results in the late 1990s when we all thought his career was over. Since he returned in 2002, he's firmly entrenched himself in the hearts and minds of fans forever, but he isn't about to go back on his word and come out of retirement as a wrestler. However, he would gladly be welcomed back with open arms to run the show.
3) John Bradshaw Layfield – The man knows money. The man knows business. The man knows wrestling. If we can't have him back at the announce desk, maybe a new job in management would be great. However, I don't think it's very likely.
2) Paul Heyman – We've seen Heyman back recently as Brock Lesnar's representative and he hasn't lost a step on the mic, and as the former General Manager of Smackdown and with his experience innovating the business in ECW, he's a very solid choice to lead Raw and / or Smackdown forward.
1) Edge – His surprise appearance to pump John Cena up for his match against Brock Lesnar before Extreme Rules was amazing. The guy genuinely loves the business and he's universally loved by the fans. Since he suffered a career ending injury, running the show would be a great way for him to stay close to the business and continue to entertain, especially since he doesn't seem to be swamped with acting jobs.
Raw Response – 04/23/12
Start off the night with a surprise appearance by Edge and a great promo from the new Hall of Famer about how Cena getting punked by Brock Lesnar every week is a slap to the face off all of the greats who got into the business and stayed in the business because they love it – guys like Edge, Shawn Michaels and the Undertaker. Edge's statement that he's not asking Cena to beat Lesnar, but he's telling him to makes me believe that Lesnar will beat Cena on Sunday at Extreme Rules and as a result Cena is going to have to face the wrath of Edge in the near future and something big is going to change this summer for Cena.
Edge telling Cena repeatedly that he needs to "Wake up" echoes the sentiments the fans have been throwing at Cena for the past five years that something needs to change in his character and his attitude. The general consensus among the adult male fans is that John Cena's character is stale, that they are tired of seeing him be the same every week, but now that greats like Roddy Piper, Mick Foley and Edge have come out on the air and called him out on his attitude in regards to how the fans feel about him and Kane fought Cena leading up to Wrestlemania over Cena's inability to "Embrace the hate" make it more plausible to me that we might actually see Cena's character undergo some changes. Cena could be about to suffer an Attitude Adjustment of his own. It is still entirely possible that the only change Cena will undergo is that he will shake off the hangover of losing to Rock at Wrestlemania and Hulk Up to destroy Lesnar at Extreme Rules, like he has done against every other heel that's come along and dominated him on Raw for weeks only to have Cena "overcome the odds" yet again and if so, I think many would join me in the opinion that for Cena to overcome Brock Lesnar in the same way he has every other opposing heel opponent from The Great Khali in 2007 to Kane earlier this year would be a complete and utter waste of the storyline that they have spun around Cena for the past 4 months. The time is ripe for a change. The fans have been thirsting for it. And a significant change in Cena's character could launch the WWE into a new direction and lead the WWE out of the doldrums that some would say it has been in for the past few years.
The opening contest of the night held no real surprises as Chris Jericho fought Kofi Kingston, the only man Jericho has beaten one-on-one on television since his return. So, of courseJerichowas going to beat him again. However, the two still put on a great match with a solid finish. Then, after the matchJerichopoints to his beatingKingstonas proof that he will win the WWE Championship at Extreme Rules. Never mind that he beatKingstona couple of times before Wrestlemania and still ended up tapping out to the Anaconda Vice. Never mind that this match withKingstonis the only televised matchJerichohas had since Wrestlemania. In another segment, CM Punk received a liquor basket fromJericho, that he regifted to Josh Matthews. However, Punk kept one bottle of Jack Daniels, which he promised to hand deliver back toJerichoat Extreme Rules this Sunday in his home town ofChicagoduring their Chicago Street Fight. Later in the night, Jericho and Alex Riley would spy on CM Punk, who was apparently drinking the Jack Daniels himself, but it felt like there was definitely a possibility that it was a ruse when Jericho went to John Laurinaitis and had the General Manager force CM Punk to undergo a field sobriety test at the risk of being stripped of the title should he fail. Punk did a masterful job of playacting, but as he was on the verge of surrendering the title toJericho, Punk dropped the ruse and pummelsJerichoand chased him off to the back. As always, anything can happen in the WWE, but CM Punk still has the edge in my mind and while evidence would suggest thatJerichohas to turn the tables in their rivalry at some point, I'm still predicting that Punk once again retains his title and defeatsJerichoat Extreme Rules.
Lord Tensai would go on in the second match against R-Truth and everybody expected a squash match and that's exactly what we got. After Tensai was barely touched in his first few matches and then went on to beat John Cena in an Extreme Rules match last week inEngland, what chance did R-Truth have? Tensai continues to look dominant, but this time he actually pins his opponent instead of the referee having to stop the match. I love the use of the green mist, something we haven't seen in the WWE since Tajiri left the company several years ago and it's unique to see the mist used in a package with the Claw. The Claw in and of itself has been retooled by Tensai to include a Slam, which is something I'd never seen done before. Tensai is bringing a lot of unique combinations into his new character and is much more imposing and intimidating than he ever was as Albert or A-Train. He also brings about a sense of mystery for an imposing heel character which is something WWE is going to need in the next few years with characters like Kane and the Undertaker inching closer to retirement.
And speaking of Kane, the Big Red Machine is as good now as he ever was. His masked character has seemed to me like it had a cult following among the fans ever since he was forced to unmask almost ten years ago. Once again donning the mask has helped breathe new life into a character that had lost a lot of the qualities that made him so imposing during his early feuds with the Undertaker and Stone Cold and his intense and destructive rivalry with Shane McMahon shortly after he lost his mask. And Kane made it clear tonight that he has distanced himself from things he once cared about by refusing to rescue his "father" Paul Bearer from Randy Orton. It appears that nothing will stand in the way of Kane's path of destruction this time around. However, I believe Orton is going to find some way to overcome the Big Red Machine in their Falls Count Anywhere match at Extreme Rules on Sunday.
I don't see Big Show holding the Intercontinental title for long. This is the second straight week that Big Show has teammed with The Great Khali and I can see them becoming a regular tag team like that Big Show has formed with Kane in the past. It wouldn't be a lasting union by any means, but Big Show has teammed with other big men in the past to form dominant tag teams in periods when the division has been in a lull, which it is definitely still in. I see Cody Rhodes winning the Intercontinental Title back from Big Show either at Extreme Rules or in the near future and Big Show moving into regular tag team action along with Khali. Doing so would allow both big men to compete and remain dominant every week without having to spend too much time moving around in the ring because they would be splitting ring time. In the meantime, Big Show continues to dominate Cody asDel Rioruns out on Cody during their tag team match against the two giants tonight andRhodesfalls victim to Big Show's Chokeslam.
A NEW Diva's Champion was crowned tonight in Nikki Bella, giving both of the Bella Twins one title reign apiece. They made a point of Beth approaching the record for the longest reign in the short history of the title, which tipped me off that she was probably going to drop the title either tonight or at the Pay Per View on Sunday. With the title back on one of the Bellas, it opens the door for Kharma to make her return to the Diva's division and get even with the Bellas for their remarks when she left last summer for her pregnancy, which she tragically miscarried. It appears that Beth may not see in-ring action in the near future, so we could see Kelly Kelly beat another Bella and get another run with the Diva's title or somebody like Natalya or Alicia Fox could step back into whatever dim spotlight the Diva's division has to offer in the current era.
From Smackdown, Sheamus faced off against Mark Henry and we were surprised when Daniel Bryan was announced as the Special Guest Referee. Bryan attempted multiple times to get Sheamus to attack him, which would have resulted in Sheamus being fired as a result of John Laurinaitis' declaration that Sheamus was on permanent probation after he purposefully kicked referee Chad Patton a few weeks ago on Smackdown, but Sheamus held his temper in check tonight, but a distraction from Bryan allowed Henry to steamroll Sheamus and pin him and Bryan delivered a quick count. Bryanthen taunted Sheamus and threw his referee shirt at him and once that shirt was off,Bryanwas no longer serving as a referee and Sheamus charged him like an enraged bull, beat him down and threw him back in the ring where Henry was waiting. Sheamus then kicked his way through Henry, butBryanwas then able to put Sheamus in the Yes Lock, getting in his licks before Extreme Rules, but we don't yet know if Bryan or Sheamus will get the final edge going into Extreme Rules until after Smackdown this Friday night. Either way it goes, I'm predicting that Sheamus retains the title at Extreme Rules. It had been a long time since an individual won the Royal Rumble then went on to Wrestlemania and won the title before Sheamus pulled it off and I see him having a long term reign as champion before finally losing the title, perhaps to the winner of the Smackdown Money in the Bank ladder match sometime in the fall.
Zack Ryder and Santino Marella teammed up to take on the Tag Team Champions, Primo and Epico, and the champions continued to show how weak the division is by losing to another random pairing of singles wrestlers for the second week in a row with Primo falling victim to the Cobra and going down for the three count. It was forgivable for them to lose to two giants like Big Show and The Great Khali, but if they are going to show any promise as tag team champions, they need to win matches like this against random pairings of mid-card singles talent. The Usos and Primo and Epico are the only seemingly legitimate tag teams right now in the company and doing jobs to Santino & Ryder isn't going to help bring any credibility back to the division or to the titles.
In the final match of the night, Brodus Clay and Hornswoggle took on Dolph Ziggler and Jack Swagger and the match itself was specifically sponsored by Taco Bell and Doritos' loco tacos. Apparently each individual match is open for advertising sponsorships now. It's good for Brodus to be in the ring with individuals like Swagger and Ziggler, but their match once again ended without a legitimate finish as Vickie Guerrero got into the ring and slapped Brodus in the face, causing a disqualification. Vickie then got surrounded by Brodus, Hornswoggle and their back-up dancers and tried to joke her way out of it, only to be bitten on the backside by Hornswoggle, providing some laughless comedy. It feels like a shameless waste of talent for Ziggler to only be on screen for a few minutes and to not even have a legitimate match when he has become such a great performer over the past two years.
And we closed the night with the official contract signing between Brock Lesnar and John Cena for what is obviously the Main Event of Extreme Rules. After Edge's confrontation of Cena at the beginning of the night and Lesnar flipping out on Josh Matthews earlier in the night, it was unclear of what would happen in the contract signing, but the intensity was definitely palpable for the last time these two would come face to face before Extreme Rules. So when Cena's music hit and Cena didn't show up, I was looking for him to come through the crowd and attack Brock, but that didn't happen. Brock and Laurenaitis start looking around in confusion and then Brock grabs the mic and starts taunting Cena, and I start think Cena's going to show up with a new look, maybe a new gimmick or something. Brock then starts talking about making some changes to the match and about how unhappy he is about the way things have been going and suggests Laurenaitis make some business changes before he will sign the contract for the match at Extreme Rules. Brock then starts talking about how he's an "enterprise" and no longer a "naive little farm boy" and how the company needs him, but he doesn't need them. Brock then tells Laurenaitis that all decisions regarding him and the WWE have to be run by him first and he demands the use of Vince McMahon's private jet to chauffer him to and from Monday Night Raw every week and I'm wondering where all of this is going and why Cena isn't out there yet and Brock just keeps talking down about the company and Laurenaitis and how he's going to do what he wants and how he doesn't care what any of the people think or say about him. Laurenaitis agreed to Brock's terms and Brock signs the contract and now Cena finally shows up, but there is no smile on his face, no words for the camera, no salute. Cena just goes into the ring without saying a word and he's got a steel chain in his hand, like the one he used to carry around when he was calling himself the Doctor of Thuganomics, giving us another indication that changes may be in the works for Cena. Cena stands around and doesn't sign the contract, so Brock pics up the mic and taunts him some more and tells Cena that he's scared of Brock. Cena then signs the contract and throws it at Brock, but the punches don't start flying. Brock then tips the table over, but still no punches are thrown. Brock then leaves without any physical confrontation, which was unexpected. The intensity was definitely there, but I think the contract segment wore on for too long and didn't really add anything of value to their match at Extreme Rules. I guess what we're supposed to take away from tonight is a feeling that Cena might actually be scared of Brock, but I'm not buying it. An otherwise very good episode of Raw ended with a big of a letdown in my opinion.

Here's a post from Ray Ortlund, lead pastor of Immanuel Church in Nashville, Tennessee. Even though it is addressed to men, I'm a bit nostalgic today and with a few pronoun changes it works for me as I remember the husband of my youth.
_____ _____ _____
"Rejoice in the wife of your youth." a
It does not say, "Rejoice in your young wife," though that is biblical and delightful. b It says, "Rejoice in the wife of your youth" — that girl you married when you both were younger. By now, time has gone by. Maybe a lot of time. But nothing important has changed. She is still that girl who gave herself to you on your wedding day. She put herself in your arms. She could not have been more vulnerable and trusting. Remember that. Dwell on that. Marvel at that.
Remember how you used to laugh and have fun, because you so liked each other? You can have that again. Go back there. Yes, so much in life has changed. You both have seen trouble and sorrow, maybe more than you ever dreamed you would. But you still have her, and she counts for more than all the troubles in the world. Look at her. Look closely. Notice how much about her has not changed. Dwell on that. Think about her faithfulness to you through the years, despite your weaknesses and failings, through the many hardships, all by the grace of God. Meditate on the divine mercy she represents to you. Let your heart melt again, and rejoice in God and in her.
Your marriage is not a prison, and you have not received a death sentence — except to your selfishness. Your marriage can be a God-given source of rejoicing. How wonderful of God that release from shallow Self is a pathway into ever deeper joy with her, as long as you both shall live.
_____ _____ _____
Ladies, besides recalling the things that made you fall in love with your husband, it has been suggested by at least one author that we take stolen opportunities to really look at our husbands now and again. Find a vantage point unbeknownst to him and try to use fresh eyes to really look at him. [For some reason I remember this author suggesting to observe our husband's hands as a window to the younger man we married years ago.]
With a bit of creativity, Dr. Ortlund can remind us women, too, that nothing important has changed. He is still that boy who did all those funny, kind, sometimes crazy, things to make you love him—and it worked! He is still the same boy who caused you to see life with him as better than life without him and to joyfully tie your fate to his—"all my fortunes at thy foot I'll lay and follow thee my lord throughout the world." c
Remember that. Dwell on that. Marvel at that.
And Dana…I still would and do (including "plight thee my trough").
c Shakespeare, William. Romeo and Juliet: Act 2, Scene 2 (Juliet to Romeo).

Person Opens Door Expecting Dog, Is Charged by Furious Black Bear
One of the best parts about human civilization is that we're fairly insulated from giant terrifying bears. But look no further than right here to find proof that just living in a home isn't enough to guarantee that nature won't pay you a personal visit (and not the nice kind where a super-chill bear hangs out in your hot tub).
That's exactly what happens in the video above, in which a resident of Woodland Park, Colorado opened their front door on July 21, 2018 and found that the wild had found its way into their home.
"I opened my front door thinking it was a dog," recounted the person who shot the video. "Turned out it was a female black bear mother who was very agitated that I was between her and her cubs. She briefly charged at me, sending me flying back into my house."
It's not like the bear was out in the yard either. It was seriously right outside the door. Thankfully, they were able to get back inside fairly quickly, but it's an unsettling watch.
Everyone move to cities.

Lori describes her oncoplasty experience.
Well, my experience is that primarily instead of having a mastectomy, which is a major surgery, and then going back and the scar tissue builds up in the breasts, and then going back and having to put in the implants. That is a whole other major surgery. So in essence I feel I alleviated one surgery plus cutting through the areola and taking that off. Like I said, my scars are right along the areola, but, you know, as far as you look at my breast itself, you know, you cannot see any scars. So from a physical standpoint and then the benefit of just that one major surgery as opposed to two, which technically it would be.

Here, Lijo Jose, co-founder of children's snack box startup ChewyMoon, tells Business Advice readers why his company's forward-thinking use of technology is delivering a unique level of personalisation to subscribers.
Using individual health data from each subscriber, ChewyMoon is able to provide customised snack boxes as per the specific needs of the child.
"Technology is deeply embedded in what we do," said ChewyMoon co-founder and nutritionist Verena Klanner upon launch, and the service wants to give parents unbiased nutritional information through its AI-powered advisor.
Who are you and what's your business?
I'm Lijo Jose, one of the co-founders at ChewyMoon.
Founded by parents, created by nutritionists and approved by kids, ChewyMoon is the world's first nutritionally-balanced subscription snack box for children.
Finding healthy, tasty snacks for children is a struggle for every parent – firstly you must negotiate the nutritional minefield, and when you do, chances are the kids won't like what you buy.
Then you have to choose between health and taste. We are here to help parents stop making that sacrifice by making heathy fun!
How has it grown since foundation?
We've generated strong traction since launching six months ago. What that has helped us do is develop a clear understanding of the drivers of customer lifetime value, and how to scale that up efficiently as we scale up marketing.
What do you attribute that growth to?
Developing a deep understanding of our customer and having a passionate and ambitious founding team to deliver to their needs.
What will be fundamental in achieving profitability?
We are in our very early stages so we are not profitable yet. But we have done is generated a lot of customer data based on early sales that has helped us formulate a roadmap on how to get there quickly.
How will the use of AI support your children's snack box?
We have been working with an AI firm to build the world's first personalised children's nutrition advice chat bot.
For parents, the tool provides a simple and reliable source of nutrition information tailored to their child's nutritional needs. The chat service will be offered free of charge and will be available in late 2017.
What are the biggest challenges of the subscription model?
Subscriptions make great sense when the need for your product is regular or when the need is for a customised product.
Price is an important factor too. The more pressing the need or the more limited the alternatives for your product, the less price sensitive the customer will be.
What's your biggest achievement to date?
Bringing together fantastic founding and advisory teams.
Plus, a couple of weeks ago we were nominated for the best kids' subscription box award by Junior magazine, arguably the most esteemed accolade in the family lifestyle arena, and shortlisted as "one of the most exciting business innovations" by Venturefest.
In five years' time, I will be…
A powerhouse for children's nutrition in the UK and abroad. Health is the primary driver of spending at cash-rich food giants.
We expect to be backed by multinational by then, and we will leverage that relationship to establish a foothold globally.
What advice would you give to fellow healthy eating brands starting out?
Dream big and promote your mission aggressively. You also need to understand your customer well and have really strong financial management skills.
Who are your business heroes and why?
Peter Thiel for his highly distilled interpretations of entrepreneurship, Jeff Bezos for his high-conviction approach and Warren Buffet for his humility and generosity.

by SusanAnne Hiller Just when we thought email@example.com–which appears to be alive and well when clicked–was scary and invasive–it seems the Obama administration's Census Bureau has outdone itself. A US census worker, driving a metallic gray Ford Taurus-type car, has been reported to be combing through the Memphis, TN suburb of Germantown knocking on doors asking people for information on their neighbors.
Yes, you read that correctly. The US census worker was asking how many people lived in the house next door on or about April 1, 2010. As if there wasn't enough controversy with the census already, this just adds fuel to the fire.
According to the source, here's what happened when Obama's Orwellian Big Brother knocked:
The census worker identified himself, showed his credentials, and continued to ask if she knew if the house next door was occupied on April 1 of this year. The census worker also indicated that he had "difficulty" contacting the neighbors. After the source confirmed the house was occupied on April 1st, the census worker continued by asking, "How many people occupied that house?"_________________________________________________________________
My source responded by saying, "If they haven't filled out their census, I can't help you and I have no intention of telling you anything about my neighbors and your recourse is to enforce your penalties."
The worker replied, "Well you know why we take the census don't you?"
My source replied, "Yes, in this case, to redistribute my wealth. And you are not permitted to ask me about my neighbors."
The worker went on to say that the census is used to figure out the number of representatives and federal monies that would be allocated. The source still refused to answer and the census worker was asked to leave the property.
He then proceeded to knock on the other neighbor's doors, apparently, to get the information he was sent our for. Let's just hope that these people are not attorneys because this is a clear violation of the privacy and security procedures of the census to ensure an accurate and secure count. Nowhere in this information does it say your neighbors can provide census information.
JMC Ministries Response
So clearly what happened to us in Ohio is NOT a isolated incident and is happening to people in other states like Tennessee. They also felt the Privacy and Security act was violated just as we did.
It is more than clear that The U.S Census has their own agenda and they are NOT doing what their website says a U.S Census should be doing. The Government is trying to get people to fill out Census Forms on their neighbors which could be falsified information.
Obama said he wanted an accurate count of everyone. So how does having me fill out a Census form on my past neighbors who have moved on to another place give an accurate count? And still we have not gotten a phone call back from the Census Bureau over Ohio to give us these answers.

Book: "Classical Dynamics of Particles and Systems"
Edition: third
Authors: Jerry B. Marion and Stephen T. Thornton
Publisher: Harcourt Brace Jovanovich
Page: 52
This installation of the series provides a few clarifications into the example presented in the textbook and asks even more questions. I have a feeling that readers steeped in differential equations will immediately follow the reasoning of the example as it is written in the textbook. Please, if you have answers to the remaining questions below, or even ideas, please comment. Thanks!
The first example of the chapter titled "Newtonian Mechanics" asks the reader to find the velocity of an object sliding down a ramp. The solution for the acceleration, (second derivative of the position x), has already been derived as:
The process for deriving the velocity as a function of position illustrated by the author starts with the above equation for acceleration. I'll simplify by first briefly stating the strategy of the authors solution.
Basic Strategy:
Working from the expression for acceleration, the authors want to demonstrate how to derive velocity as a function of position. They use the following steps that I'll elaborate on here.
- Introduce a velocity term to each side of the equation to form a differential equation that can be integrated on each side to solve for velocity in terms of position.
- Use the product rule of differentiation to re-write the left hand side of the expression so that it only contains velocity.
- Multiply both sides of the expression by dt so that the integration on the right handside will only integrate over dx producing an x.
We want an equation that relates velocity, (the first derivative of position), to the position of the object on the ramp. Ultimately, the example will manipulate the original expression above so that the left side only contains a differential of velocity and the right side contains a differential of position. When both sides of the expression are integrated, we'll be left with an expression that relates velocity to position.
Clarifications and Questions:
Now that we know where we're headed, let's see how the authors take us there.
The authors multiply both sides of the originalequation by 2 times the velocity, (first derivative of position with respect to time), to give:
and then, in one giant step for physics students everywhere, the authors state on the very next line:
Ummm what… !? OK, let's start at the start. First, why did the author mysteriously decide to multiply both sides of the original equation for acceleration by two times the velocity?
My first thought was why not just integrate the acceleration to get the velocity and be done with it? That would work if we wanted the velocity as a function of time, but we have to solve for it as a function of position. Speaking of time, let's rewrite the first equation above as:
We can do this because acceleration is the derivative of velocity with respect to time. Why we did it is to show explicitly that we have velocity and time so far, but not position. So, we need to somehow introduce position.
Now, returning to the authors original multiplication written in terms of position and velocity:
Now, dx is available in the equation. By integrating both sides, we can possibly come up with an answer that provides velocity in terms of position.
This presents the second problem. At present, dx is on both sides of the equation. We'd like to have velocity on one side of the equation and position on the other.
This brings us to the authors' 'clever trick' and another question. The question: Is there a simple mathematical operation to get from
as the book seems to imply by performing this 'simplification' in one step? As far as I can tell, there isn't. Please comment below if you know the way!
That brings us to the authors' 'clever trick'. By starting at the end of the simplification and writing
and then using the product rule, (use the first dx/dt as u and the second dx/dt as v), to carry out the derivative with respect to time on the contents of the parenthesis, we get:
So, by 'cleverly' choosing to multiply both sides of the original equation by 2 times the velocity, (first derivative of x or position), the authors were left with a quantity on the left-hand-side that is recognizable as the time based derivative of the velocity squared. With that recognition and simplification, the left-hand-side is now written only in terms of velocity.
So, after the 'clever trick' that introduced position into the equation and then the 'clever' simplification, we're left at the second step of the example:
The authors then multiply both sides by dt and then integrate both sides using the boundary values of the example to arrive at, (the authors' third step):
This step brings us to the last question. Is there a typo in the third step of the authors' example? In the text, the upper limit of integration for the left hand side is:
the boundary velocity of the object when it is at position x-naught.
Hopefully, I've helped clarify how the authors' moved from step to step. The following three questions still remain:
- How did the author decide to multiply both sides of the equation for acceleration by 2 times the velocity?
- Is there a simple mathematical operation that makes the following equality clear?
- Is there a typo in the third step of the authors' example?
If you have an idea or answer, please help everyone out and comment below. Thanks!
