WWE Money in the Bank 2012

The WWE Money in the Bank 2012 results are now official, with several big matches going down in Phoenix, Arizona. While two major championships were on the line, there were also two contract matches as well. So who were the latest MITB ladder match winners for 2012?

With the WWE MITB results, fans were treated to a variety of matches including an early championship victory by R-Truth and Kofi Kingston. There was also an impromptu match involving Epico and Primo defeating Titus O'Neil and Darren Young aka "The Primetime Players." However, the reason most fans love this particular event is those electrifying, action-packed Money in the Bank ladder matches which involve a briefcase hanging over the ring. Inside that case is either a WWE Championship match contract or a World Heavyweight Championship match contract.

In what can be described as the best PPV  event since WrestleMania 28, "Money in the Bank" was everything it needed to be.

And we can thank CM Punk and Daniel Bryan for what was possibly the match of the year.

And we can also thank A.J. Lee for helping to make that happen.

While we all expected something to go wrong with the WWE Title Match, everything fell into place and left the door open to ask, "What happens now?"

And oh yeah, some guy named Cena won Money in the Bank along with Dolph Ziggler.

Here are some things we learned from tonight's PPV.

Happy Father's Day by Tim Tebow

Happy Father's Day - Tim Tebow urges sacrifice at Father's Day event. Just seven months after handing the hometown San Diego Chargers one of their most crushing defeats of the season, New York Jets quarterback Tim Tebow, then with the Denver Broncos, returned to Qualcomm Stadium on Sunday.

Only this time, he replaced the football with a microphone and turned the boos into cheers.

"It feels really good to get an applause in this stadium," Tebow said. "It's never happened before."

Tebow led the Broncos to a 16-13 overtime win against the Chargers last November in San Diego, sending the Bolts to their sixth-consecutive loss.

Tim Tebow ventured into what was once and still is enemy territory to speak at a Father's Day service for Shadow Mountain Community Church, led by pastor David Jeremiah. Shadow Mountain rented out the stadium and invited several area churches to attend.

Kevin Durant powers Thunder's surge past Heat

Kevin Durant powers Thunder's surge past Heat - Kevin Wayne Durant in NBA is an American professional basketball player. Playing the position of small forward, Durant currently plays with the Oklahoma City Thunder of the National Basketball Association.

Kevin Durant showed LeBron James how to play the fourth quarter in the NBA Finals. Durant scored 17 of his 36 points in another nightmarish final period for James and his team as host Oklahoma City overwhelmed Miami in the second half for a 105-94 victory in Game 1 on Tuesday night.

2012 NFL Draft: UFC champ

2012 NFL Draft: UFC champ - Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones. His run through the 205-pound division has produced one of the greatest calendar years in the history of the sport and it's already safe to wonder if the 24-year-old phenom is one of the best to ever put on a pair of gloves.

As impressive as that might sound, he's got an entire family of athletes, including his older brother, Arthur Jones, who plays defensive end for the Baltimore Ravens. You may or may not have heard much from him because he's not exactly blowing anyone's doors off in the National Football League (NFL).

Don't get me wrong, he's a fine player, but you're not going to see him in the Pro Bowl any time soon (if it's still around, anyway).

That may not be the case for Chandler Jones, however, yet another one of Jon's siblings who is poised to break into the NFL and make a big splash sooner rather than later. Or at least that's what NFL expert Mike Mayock predicts.

In his one and only mock draft for tonight's (April 26, 2012) live first round -- which MMAmania.com will have live ongoing coverage of right here -- Mayock has Jones projected to go number 19 overall. And if you fine Maniacs know anything about The General, that means Jones would be going to my beloved Chicago Bears.

But, it's not just that Jones would be going that early in the draft that makes Mayock's pick so interesting. It's the remarks he made to go along with it.

Ivan Rodriguez intends to officially retire in Texas

Ivan Rodriguez intends to officially retire in Texas - It was recently announced that veteran catcher and current unsigned free agent Ivan Rodriguez intends to officially retire in Texas on Monday. Ivan Rodriguez plans to announce his retirement Monday, ending a 21-year major league career that included a record 13 Gold Gloves at catcher.

A 14-time All-Star known as Pudge, Rodriguez spent his first 12 major league seasons with the Rangers and won the 1999 American League MVP with Texas, when he hit .332 with 35 homers and 113 RBIs. He returned to the Rangers briefly in 2009.

When a great player like Rodriguez retires, it’s nice to look back over his career, what his highs and lows were, his career milestones, and the best (and oddest) games he ever participated in where. That’s what’s listed below, the career highlights of Ivan "Pudge" Rodriguez.

Michigan Primary Results 2012

Michigan Primary Results 2012 - All eyes are on Michigan as the results roll in for the state's primary election. Mitt Romney was projected the winner in the Arizona primary on Tuesday. Mitt Romney took a big step toward setting himself back on a path to the Republican presidential nomination, thumping Rick Santorum in the Arizona primary and fending off the potential nightmare scenario of a loss in his native state of Michigan.

The final round of polls in Michigan has yielded one of the closest forecasts yet for the 2012 Republican primaries. Collectively, they give Mitt Romney a laser-thin margin over Rick Santorum, one that falls well within the real-world margin of error for a primary election. Either candidate could come out on top of Michigan's popular vote tonight.

Romney was the projected winner in Arizona as soon as the polls closed at 9 p.m. ET. Shortly after 10 p.m., The Associated Press and television networks called the tighter race in Michigan. With 67 percent of precincts reporting, Romney had 42 percent to Santorum’s 37 percent. Ron Paul and Newt Gingrich trailed with 12 percent and 7 percent, respectively.

2012 Westminster Dog Show

2012 Westminster Dog Show - After the first night featured the Hound, Toy, Non-Sporting and Herding groups, night two of the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show kicked off with the Sporting dogs.

From the Sporting group, the German Wirehaired, Labrador Retriever, English Setter, Irish Setter, English Springer Spaniel, Irish Water Spaniel, Wirehaired Pointing Griffon were brought down after the first cut and then the Best of Group order went 1) Emily the Irish Setter, 2) German Wirehaired Pointer, 3) English Springer Spaniel and 4) Irish Water Spaniel.

Preamble: Malachy the Pekingese is just like Mitt Romney—only better groomed. He's the presumptive favorite to win the 136th Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show tonight, but this is why we hold competitions. Because you just never know.

The Working group was next, which saw brought down the Alaskan Malamut, Bernese Mountain Dog, Boxer, Doberman, Rottweiler, Samoyed, Standard Schnauzer and Tibetan Mastiff. The order for Best in Group went 1) Fifi the Doberman, 2) Boxer, 3) Alaskan Malamut and 4) Standard Schnauzer.

Finally, the Terrier group capped off the group competition. Brought down after the first cut were the American Staffordshire, Australian, Border, Smooth Fox, Kerry Blue, Scottish, Skye and Welsh. The Best of Group went 1) Chelsey the Kerry BLue, 2) Smooth Fox, 3) Skye and 4) American Staffordshire.

So moving into Best in Show, the dogs competing were the Cinders the Wirehaired Dachshund, Malachy the Pekingese, Ian the Dalmatian, Capi the German Shepherd, Emily the Irish Setter, Fifi the Doberman and Chelsey the Kerry Blue.

And ... Malachy the Pekingese is Best in Show! Malachy competed in the Best of Show group in last year, but lost to Hickory the Scottish Deerhound. We were excited to see Malachy win this year - we love to watch Pekingeses run! This is the first Pekingese win since 1990.

Whitney Houston Cause of Death - Autopsy Complete

Whitney Houston  Cause of Death -  Autopsy Complete - Whitney Houston’s autopsy is done – but authorities will reportedly defer results pending completion of a toxicology report. There will be no official cause of death announcement until toxicology returns in 4 to 6 weeks, according to TMZ. Houston died in her fourth-floor room at the Beverly Hilton hotel on Saturday.

While the circumstances of her death have still not been confirmed, a picture is beginning to emerge based on multiple reports across several outlets.

It’s believed that Houston was discovered, unconscious in the bathtub, by a member of her entourage.

Law enforcement officials reportedly found prescription pills in Houston’s room, including Xanax, but no illegal drugs.

The prevailing unconfirmed theory is that Houston accidentally lost consciousness and drowned.

Again: This is NOT the official cause of death, nor has it been substantiated by on-the-record police sources.

Paramedics raced to the scene and attempted to revive the singer, but their efforts were not successful.

She was pronounced dead at 3:55 p.m. Pacific time.

Family and close associates identified Houston, and, while Clive Davis’ pre-Grammys party went ahead downstairs, her body was taken to the L.A. County morgue for Sunday’s autopsy.

Whitney Houston's Death

Whitney Houston's  Death - With the death of Whitney Houston just hours earlier, it's hard to focus on the matter of crowning the best in recorded music -- but Sunday night's Grammy Awards are going to try.

Music's biggest night was rocked on the eve of the event with news that the 48-year-old pop legend was found dead in her room at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, where she was preparing to attend a pre-Grammy party.

The autopsy of Whitney Houston is complete, TMZ has learned, but the results will be deferred pending a toxicology report.

According to our sources, a cause of death cannot be determined until the toxicology results ... which typically takes 4-6 weeks.

A coroner's spokesman says the results are on a security hold, which just means nothing is being released at this time.

Whale Shark Found Dead In Arabian Sea

Whale Shark Found Dead In Arabian Sea - A 40-foot whale shark was brought into harbor in Karachi, Pakistan on Tuesday, Feb. 7. after reportedly being found unconscious in the Arabian Sea about 10 days ago,"Whale sharks are really amazing animals. They are very gentle. But people should remember that they are wildlife animals and feeding them could pose more harm than good," 

Fishermen used several cranes to lift the whale shark to dry land, where a crowd of onlookers gathered to see the massive creature.

The whale shark carcass was later sold for 1.7 million rupees (nearly $19,000), ABC News reports.

After a 2005 assessment, the International Union for Conversation of Nature and Natural Resources declared the global whale shark population was vulnerable, MSNBC observes.

For many years, whale sharks have been highly sought after by harpoon fisheries in Southeast Asia, where people primarily used the fish for meat and oil. However, it is now illegal to hunt whale sharks in several countries, including India and the Philippines.

NFL player's unfortunate license plate

NFL player's unfortunate license plate - Knowshon Moreno was all but forgotten in Denver this year. He was first ineffective, then benched in favor of Willis McGahee, then, like everything else, eclipsed by the miracle of Tebow. His season ended in Week 10 with a knee injury.

He knows how to get noticed on the highway, though. His strategy there is to drive 70 mph through a construction zone in a Bentley convertible with a license plate that reads "SAUCED." Works every time.

Moreno, 24, was pulled over Feb. 1 while driving a Bentley at about 70 mph on Interstate 25 near Quincy Avenue and Union Avenue, according to a report by Denver television station KDVR-31. The posted speed limit in the area usually is 65 mph but is currently posted at 45 mph because it's a construction zone. 

Police gave Moreno a breath test and a field sobriety test and took the former Georgia star to a detox facility. He was charged with DUI, failing to have insurance and careless driving. He is scheduled to be arraigned March 2, court records state. 

The personalized license plate on the car Moreno was driving read "SAUCED," according to KDVR-31.

No danger of being forgotten here. Driving drunk with a "SAUCED" license plate puts Knowshon Moreno in the sports criminal Hall of Fame.

As far as I know, to be "sauced" means to be drunk. If the young, hippity-hopping whippersnappers of America have another definition for it, I don't know what it is. I hope it's not something filthy. Perhaps it even means that Knowshon Moreno, every time he leaves the house, likes to slather himself in a nice Bolognese sauce.

Until I'm told otherwise, though, I'm clinging to "drunk" as the proper definition, which would make it the second-least police-friendly license plate in history, behind only "PULMEOVR."

The Broncos released a statement saying that they're aware of the incident and will continue to gather information. Just as soon as they've stopped laughing at his license plate.

Moreno was drafted 12th overall in 2009.

Obama’s grandmother recovering after car accident

Obama’s grandmother recovering after car accident - Obama’s 91-year-old grandmother, Sarah Obama, is reportedly recovering at her residence after suffering from bruises and shock resulting from a car accident in Western Kenya.

Sarah Obama was reportedly moving to her neighborhood Kogelo on Saturday night when her car rolled over. Police officials are yet to establish the cause of the accident; however they told reporters that the driver lost control over the car and it landed into a channel.

Five people were travelling in the car at the time of the accident, including Obama’s grandmother, and none of them suffered any serious injuries. However, the car was completely smashed. An ambulance was driven straight away to the accident site and all 5 passengers, including 2 bodyguards, were carried to the Agha Khan hospital in Kisumu.

"God is with me, because if you could have seen the wreckage that we came out of safe, one would wonder," Sarah Obama said Monday.

According to a hospital representative of the Aga Khan hospital, Sarah Obama was injured and distressed when she reached the hospital. She was discharged from the hospital 2 hours afterwards. Doctors told reporters that it was safe for Sarah to go home and take rest.

"You can see I was not injured save for this small scar on my right hand and I am not even using a walking stick," Obama said.

Besides, President Obama’s grandmother said even distant friends and relative have been calling to check on her condition.

According to ABC News, “Sarah Obama is the step-mother of President Obama's Kenyan father. She has been to the U.S. a few times, and the president has been to the village to visit with her and other relatives three times. In his memoir, "Dream From My Father," Obama called her ‘Granny.’”

In 2008 Sarah said in an interview that she and Barack Obama are quite close, even though they have to converse via an interpreter.

It is pertinent to mention here that Kenyans pay very high regard to President Obama, the son of a Kenyan. People in Kenya have even been naming their children ‘Obama’ after Barack Obama became the U.S president. Restaurants, stores and even buses have been branded as ‘Obama.’

Tim Tebow doesn't have a girlfriend

Tim Tebow doesn't have a girlfriend - The biggest mystery in the world of dating doesn’t involve Kim Kardashian or Jennifer Aniston. It’s Tim Tebow. The Denver Broncos QB is one of the nation’s most popular athletes in 2012, and any sort of nugget regarding his personal life is analyzed to death.

Tim Tebow has no problem meeting women. Finding the right one? That's a different story altogether. In an in-depth interview with Jon Saraceno of USA Today, Tebow denied one widespread rumor about his love life and opened up about life in the cocoon.

The Denver Broncos quarterback is currently the most talked about athlete in professional sports because of his ugly and unorthodox style of play that keeps resulting in victories. The amount of love and hate for the guy is unprecedented in the NFL.

Randy Travis Arrested in Texas

Randy Travis Arrested in Texas - Country singer Randy Travis was arrested in Sanger, Texas this morning for public intoxication ... after cops say he was boozing in front of a Baptist church. 

According to the Sanger Police Department, someone called the cops to report a suspicious vehicle near the church ... and when officers arrived to the scene, they discovered the 52-year-old singer with an open bottle of wine.  

The "Forever and Ever, Amen" singer was hauled to a nearby jail around 1:30 AM -- he was booked, cited and released a short time later.  

__________________________________________________________________________________

2012 Best Superbowl Commercials

2012 Best Superbowl Commercials - Like most of you, the Superbowl dominated my TV last night. And while there were a few moments during the half time show where we switched to the Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet for Norman, when we weren’t watching the Giants battle the Patriots we had our eyes fixed on those commercials. I must admit, almost every year I am more interested in the commercials than I am in the game, even though it was super sweet watching the Giants stick it to the Patriots at the end (a Patriots fan, I am not)!

I don’t know about your favorites from this year’s Superbowl ads, but below are my Top 5. This will make 2 years in a row where Volkswagen has topped my list of best ads – last year it was that Darth Vader and this year, dog lover that I am, they stopped on top with “The Dog Strikes Back”, followed by 4 other commercials that either made me laugh or left me speechless. What was your favorite commercial this year? Feel free to comment and add a spot that didn’t make my list or vote from my Top 5! See you next year!

Constitution Day is this Saturday

Constitution Day is this Saturday - Susan Shell Joins the JMC Constitution Day Steering Group and The Constitution was signed on September 17, 1787, and every year that date passes by with hardly a sound. Sure, now that it's considered a day of federal observance you'll find government schools around the country including it in their lesson plans. But these discussions generally focus on Constitution Trivia instead of what's really important. While it may be good to educate our young on how many years a Senator serves, or how Supreme Court justices are appointed, it's not enough. Seriously lacking in the public discourse is the actual purpose of the Constitution its underlying principles.

Constitution Day (or Citizenship Day) is an American federal observance that recognizes the adoption of the United States Constitution and those who have become U.S. citizens. It is observed on September 17, the day the U.S. Constitutional Convention signed the Constitution in 1787.

Heather Locklear Hospitalized For Prescription Drugs and Alcohol

Heather Locklear Hospitalized For Prescription Drugs and Alcohol -  Authorities say Heather Locklear was taken to a Southern California hospital for precautionary reasons after an emergency call was made from her home. A hospital spokesperson tells TMZ, Heather was awake and responsive when she arrived today -- and she is currently responding well to treatment. According to the spokesperson, Heather is doing much better now and doctors are hopeful she will be released tomorrow. We're also told Heather's parents are currently with the actress inside the hospital.

Heather Locklear was taken to the hospital by ambulance Thursday afternoon after taking a dangerous mix of prescription drugs and alcohol ... law enforcement sources tell TMZ.

A spokeswoman for Los Robles Hospital in Thousand Oaks, Calif. confirms to KNBC TV’s Bev White that Heather Locklear was admitted and will stay overnight. She was conscious, stable and resting comfortably, said Kris Carraway-Bowman, VP of marketing and public relations for the hospital.

Channel 5 is now new Channel 5

Channel 5 will have new live on Channel 5 - We will have a celebrity live from studio five so that we will enjoy to watch. Channel 5 and its sports and news platforms is happening in the whole world. The latest films and TV news from the USA presented by Simon Thompson.

 
Channel 5 is a television network that broadcasts in the United Kingdom. Launched in 1997, it was the fifth and final national terrestrial analogue network to launch. The station was branded as Five between 2002 and 2010. After his purchase of the station from RTL on 23 July 2010, Richard Desmond announced plans to invest more money in programming and return to the name Channel 5 with immediate effect, prior to an official relaunch on 14 February 2011 which was also applied to 5 News.

The Sports Network

St. Louis, MO (Sports Network) - Brian Elliott made 15 saves to post his fifth shutout of the season, blanking the red-hot Avalanche in a 4-0 victory to cap the Blues' perfect three-game homestand.


Patrik Berglund and Kevin Shattenkirk scored first-period goals while Jason Arnott and David Backes added power-play markers in the second stanza for St. Louis, which entered the homestand on a three-game skid.


Jean-Sebastien Giguere got the start between the pipes for Colorado and yielded all four goals on 39 shots.

Tebow's heroic play illegal

Tebow's heroic play illegal - A review of the Denver Broncos' pre-snap formation on the game-winning touchdown pass from Tim Tebow to Demaryius Thomas suggests that the play could have been ruled illegal.

Only six Denver Broncos players were lined up on the line of scrimmage before the snap. NFL rules say that a team must have seven or more players on the line for a snap to be legal. As the picture above shows, tight end Dante Rosario was well behind his teammates. Tebow's heroic play may have been illegal. A review of Tim Tebow's game-winning throw vs. the Steelers shows something not quite right. 

The formation eventually caught the eye of current Fox analyst and former NFL Vice President of Officiating Mike Pereira. He dismissed any suggestion that the play should have been whistled dead. "Watch on any Sunday," he tweeted. "This is a good formation compared to many. They are not technical with this."

Mark Davis Raiders

Mark Davis Raiders - Mark Davis is a British pornographic actor, a pornographic film director, and an exotic dancer. New Raiders owner Mark Davis has some new ideas about how to run the team after taking over from his father, Al Davis. Chief among them? Possibly moving the team back to Los Angeles. The Oakland Raiders' stadium woes are well documented, which means the team is always being mentioned as a franchise that could relocate to Los Angeles.Raiders Owner Mark Davis Says Team Could Be Headed To Los Angeles

"Yeah, Los Angeles is a possibility," the new Raiders owner said Wednesday, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. "Wherever's a possibility. We need a stadium."

Though Davis was born in Essex, Mark and his family moved to Toronto, Canada in 1981. After graduating from high school, he moved to Los Angeles to shoot a Playgirl pictorial. From 1984 to 1988, Davis was employed as a stripper for the "Chippendale" dancers. In January 1993, Mark began his career in adult films.

In 2004 Davis was inducted into the XRCO Hall of Fame and is a member of the AVN Hall of Fame.

"The timetable is yesterday," said Davis. "So that's where it is. We've got to get a stadium. We've got to get that done."

The Raiders played in Los Angeles from 1982 to 1994, where they made five playoff appearances, including two division titles.

Doomsday Clock

Doomsday Clock - According to the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, the world is officially veering a bit closer to apocalypse. In an announcement today, the scientists said they were moving the hand on the Doomsday Clock to the perilous position of five minutes before midnight. In 2010, scientists moved the clock backwards to six minutes before, signifying that the world had grown relatively safer, and risks of nuclear chaos were somewhat lower than they had been.

"Minutes to Midnight" redirects here, along with other titles incorporating that term. For other uses, see Minutes to Midnight (disambiguation). For the Smashing Pumpkins song, see Doomsday Clock (song).

The Doomsday Clock is a symbolic clock face, maintained since 1947 by the board of directors of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists at the University of Chicago. The closer the clock is to midnight, the closer the world is estimated to be to global disaster. The most recent officially-announced setting — five minutes to midnight (11:55pm) — was made on 10 January 2012. Reflecting international events dangerous to humankind, the clock's hands have been adjusted twenty times since its inception in 1947, when the clock was initially set to seven minutes to midnight (11:53pm).

Originally, the clock analogy represented the threat of global nuclear war; however, since 2007 it has also reflected climate-changing technologies and "new developments in the life sciences that could inflict irrevocable harm."

Since its inception, the clock has been depicted on every cover of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. Its first representation was in 1947, when magazine co-founder Hyman Goldsmith asked artist Martyl Langsdorf (wife of Manhattan Project research associate and Szilárd petition signatory Alexander Langsdorf, Jr.) to design a cover for the magazine's June 1947 issue.
