Fourth year Washington Redskins safety,
Sean Taylor dies after being shot at home.
"His father called and said he was with Christ and he cried and thanked me," said Sharpstein, Taylor's former lawyer. "It's a tremendously sad and unnecessary event. He was a wonderful, humble, talented young man, and had a huge life in front of him. Obviously God had other plans."

NON-WRESTLING NEWS
As you can see by the schedule listed below, things are settling down for me quite a bit in the month of November. The slow down is much needed. I need to spend some time at home with my wife and kids. It has been getting to the point that I am afraid they might change the locks... again.
I am facing significant life changes. In the next couple of months, the day to day life I currently lead will completely change. There are times when I get really exicted about what the future holds. There are times when I get really frightened about what the future holds. At this moment... I am scared to death.
It does not look like pro-wrestling will immediately fit into my future. My one-year coaching contract with the school is coming to a close. I don't know if I will be offered another contract. If I am offered a new contract, I am not sure I will sign it. There are a lot of question marks.
Youth football is both a blessing and a curse. Youth football is a blessing from the stand point that it exposes the game to children. Children have the opportunity to develop an appreciation and passion for the game. It is a curse in that there are
very few youth football coaches that focus on properly developing fundamental skills. The children eventually make it to junior high and high school only to be yelled at on a daily basis because they cannot get in a decent stance let alone know what to do once the ball is snapped.

Stanford Review
"In countries where government pays for healthcare, the time to wait for treatment increases exponentially. In Canada, for example, The Fraser Institute, a Vancouver, British Columbia-based think tank, released reports quantifying the average wait times for a patient to see a general practitioner. The shortest average wait time in Ontario is 14 weeks. In Saskatchewan, the number is alarmingly worse with an average of a 30 week waiting period."
