This year's Extreme Rules pay-per-view event left us with some unanswered questions but also some new beginnings. In the main event (a rare moment in WWE history where all wrestlers in a final match on PPV weren't on a full-time WWE schedule), Brock Lesnar defeated Triple H in a cage match. Lesnar went up 2-1 on "The Game" and is likely poised for another future match in WWE (not against Triple H), perhaps at Summerslam or Wrestlemania 30. Questions coming out of this match are: will Triple H wrestle again?

Two major developments unfolded on Monday's episode of WWE RAW. The first was a big one in many ways - Paul Heyman revealed a new client, Michael McGillicutty, now known as Curtis Axel (Curtis after his father "Mr. Perfect Curt Hennig, Axel after his grandfather Larry "The Axe" Hennig). Though many fans complained about it not being a bigger name (RVD was speculated throughout the day), this is a great move and an even greater opportunity for a superstar to not only have instant credibility being aligned with Paul Heyman (arguably the greatest mouthpiece in pro wrestling history)

Singer Tommy Vann, who opened what seems like 100 acts at the old Civic Center, lives in Abingdon. He's getting a new CD ready, Captured by the Sound. He's also recording a doo-wop album and another of Christmas music. He is 69. "Everybody thinks I was born in Baltimore, but I was born in Brooklyn, N.Y.," said Vann, whose real name is Thomas Stauch. In the 1960s, while on leave from his Marine Corps barracks in Quantico, Va. (he was already first tenor in a doo-wop group, the Emblems), he went to a party in Parkville.

It has been almost eight years since viewers have seen TV hunk Andrew Shue as Billy Campbell on the Fox soap Melrose Place. Shue has shied away from a life of glitz and glamour as an actor for a life where he can be a dedicated father, husband and mom's advocate. Yes, a mom's advocate. Shue and lifelong friend Michael Sanchez co-founded ClubMom, which recognizes mothers with discounts, advice and other rewards. ClubMom offers free membership to mothers, who can get savings and rebates from participating companies.

Today is the last night of the Proms , and I will be at the paragraph factory instead of the Royal Albert Hall watching all the carrying-on. (Whom do I kid? If I were there, I'd be standing in Hyde Park or somewhere with the throng that couldn't get tickets.) One of the highlights of the last night is a rousing performance of "Rule, Britannia. " I have heard broadcasts or recordings of various artists, but my favorite is the 2009 performance by mezzo-sporano Sarah Connolly, dressed in a naval uniform of Nelson's era. It's a performance that is notable also for employment of Dr. Arne's original setting of the text.

The 2012-2013 TV season is officially over as of midnight Wednesday, but don't look for any clear-cut answer among the final numbers as to what show is No. 1 on prime-time network television this year. CBS has been relentlessly claiming for months that its drama "NCIS" is the "#1 show" on television. Ads making the claim were still running Wednesday on trade publications' websites. But, according to Nielsen's final data, it looks like NBC's "Sunday Night Football" actually holds that title.

Nancy Becraft has a T-shirt from each year Laurel has held a Relay for Life, and has witnessed the growth of the event since the first relay in 1999. "We only started out with about 11 teams," Becraft said. This year there are 40 teams, and counting. The American Cancer Society's Relay for Life is a summer fundraising and awareness event organized in thousands of communities across the country. Participants, many of whom are cancer survivors and their families or friends, form teams and spend the evening walking laps around a track and enjoying planned entertainment.

PBS is going to launch a new Charlie Rose in July, the public broadcaster announced Monday. The show will air Friday nights at 8:30 and be called "Charlie Rose Weekend. " With his CBS duties, the 71-year-old Rose is going to be a very busy guy. Good for him. I think the continued appeal of Rose indicates that there is still an appetite for intelligent talk on television -- as well as a dearth of channels and networks providing it. Here's the release: PBS today announced CHARLIE ROSE WEEKEND, a new 30-minute series hosted by acclaimed journalist Charlie Rose, to air at 8:30 p.m. on PBS stations nationwide on Fridays.

No. 4 Stevenson not only defeated No. 12 and reigning national champion Salisbury, 12-6, in a NCAA tournament semifinal to advance to the program's first title game, but the Mustangs may also have banished some ghosts of the past. Stevenson had been escorted out of the postseason in two of the past three seasons by the Sea Gulls, who still command a 10-6 advantage in their series with their former Capital Athletic Conference foe. What made Sunday's triumph even more special is that the Mustangs had been evicted from the Final Four in 2010 and 2012 by Salisbury, a program that has captured 10 national titles.

Salisbury is the torchbearer for NCAA tournament semifinals, making 10 of the last 11 Final Fours. But Stevenson is beginning to establish itself as a regular in the semifinals. The No. 4 Mustangs (20-2) will be making their fourth Final Four appearance in the last five years when they play host to the reigning national champion and No. 12 Sea Gulls (17-5) this Sunday night at Mustang Stadium in Owings Mills. It is a badge of honor for a program that had not qualified for the NCAA tournament until 2009.

In his very, very ambitious and long-time quest to become Baltimore County executive, Kevin Kamenetz's campaign was the dirtiest, most distorted and disgusting I have ever observed in over my 40 years of interest in Maryland politics. Mr. Bartenfelder is a man of integrity who kept to the high road and who can sleep easy at night. I have absolutely no doubt that in his own arrogant mind that Kamenetz thinks he ran a fair campaign with nothing to be ashamed of. Astonishing! Totally revolting!

The spirit of baseball and the crackling excitement of possibility have returned to Baltimore's Camden Yards. Cal Ripken was there. Eddie was there. Earl, Jim, Brooks were there. Brady, part of the Orioles magic in the 1990s, was there. With the stadium filled and the Yankees in town, the Orioles started the first of a four-game series that very well could decide whether they will make the playoffs. They abruptly woke the sleeping hopes and dreams of the Orioles faithful with a resounding ka-boom!

For five minutes, 17 seconds, it would not have been difficult to assume that Dimitri Pecunes felt as if he had let down his Stevenson teammates. The freshman goalkeeper had surrendered five goals in the first quarter of the No. 4 Mustangs' home contest against No. 11 Washington College at Mustang Stadium in Owings Mills Saturday night and was promptly pulled for sophomore Kevin Cain at the start of the second period. But that was not the approach the Baltimore native and Calvert Hall graduate had taken as he stood on the sideline.
