Home » Articles » Jim Ross prevented from working for TNA
The belief within in the industry is that Vince McMahon is preventing Jim Ross from working for TNA as a commentator.
November 14, 2013
As late as Saturday, management had plans in place for Bray Wyatt to beat Chris Jericho at WWE Battleground 2014. However, Vince McMahon called an audible and had Jericho winning the match. No word yet on why McMahon made this decision, but it is being said that a lot of people backstage were against the idea because Wyatt had already started losing momentum with the audience.
July 22, 2014
While morale is really low backstage due to the recent and severe drop in royalty checks, WWE performers are not speaking out on the matter because they are afraid of Vince McMahon. Many saw what happened to JTG when he voiced his opinion about low pay per view bonus checks. The former Cryme Tyme member was buried for more than a year and recently was given a release form his contract.
July 14, 2014
Since the company is expected to lose several millions of dollars this year, WWE has decided to scale back on their catering at live events. Vince McMahon was well known for being rather generous with his performers when it comes to food being served backstage. Sometimes, the dishes were very lavish. Food will still be served at WWE events, but they will be much simpler.
July 12, 2014
In a rather interesting bit of news, Renee Young has been moving up the ladder quite a bit in WWE. The belief is that the company is trying to appease her after finding out that ESPN was interested in bringing the beautiful blonde over to their network. The company had already lost Jonathan Coachman and Todd Grisham to the sports network. They don't want to lose Young as well. There are those backstage that even believe that Vince McMahon could allow her to become a commentator on Smackdown or Monday Night Raw, in order to keep her from bolting.
July 10, 2014
Morale has taken a bit of a hit backstage in WWE now that management has instituted new fines for the performers. This goes along with the recently implemented dress code, which requires the performers to constantly be dressed formally when in public. Failure to do so will result in a fine. It is also being said that Vince McMahon and company are fining the performers even if they're just a minute late to the arena.
July 10, 2014
According to backstage rumors, Adam Rose is clinging on by a thread since key members of WWE management, including Vince McMahon and producer Kevin Dunn, are not big fans of his character. Things might have gotten worse since his match at Money in the Bank 2014 against Damien Sandow was basically ignored by the live audience. Rose could be demoted from television very soon.
July 5, 2014
Those that have been following Mick Foley closely over the last year are aware that there is some sort of backstage heat between he and Vince McMahon. WWE has given him the cold shoulders on a couple of occasions. Foley has now revealed a possible source of that friction. He accidentally sent a message to McMahon while trying to send to Brie Bella and Daniel Bryan. The content of that message was Foley complaining about WWE not doing the right thing and putting Bryan over when his popularity was at its peak.
June 27, 2014
Some interesting things might be revealed soon in WWE, as the company is just now getting around to issuing out bonuses from Wrestlemania 30. A lot of people backstage have been wondering how Vince McMahon was going to handle the pay per view bonuses now that the events are shown for free on the WWE Network. McMahon did not help the situation by avoiding his performers on the topic.
June 26, 2014
Rumors are floating around right now that WWE has yet to inform the performers of how pay per view bonuses will be handled now that the shows are being aired for free on the WWE Network. Vince McMahon was initially going to tell the wrestlers during a meeting backstage, but that was postponed. It is being said that this particular issue played a big part in CM Punk walking away from the company.
June 23, 2014
Earlier this week, it was revealed that WWE has released their lead writer, and there are now interesting details on Jay Gibson. He was only on the job for approximately five months, which is a clear sign that Vince McMahon and company did not hire the right person. Gibson was also ridiculed a bit backstage by people because he really did not have a lot of knowledge on the WWE product.
June 19, 2014
After suffering a massive drop a couple of weeks ago, WWE stock started rising this past week. Many within the company attribute that to the release of several wrestlers. That has caused a lot of fear backstage because performers feel that Vince McMahon could take that as a sign for him to release several more people. Rumors are circulating that a lot of developmental wrestlers will be released soon.
June 17, 2014
Earlier in the week, it was revealed that Jim Ross had to spend a night in the hospital, as the former WWE commentator had a bit of a health scare and his wife wanted to be safer than sorry. Ross revealed that a couple of people contacted him at the hospital to check up on him. Jerry Lawler and Steve Austin were two of them. The other was Vince McMahon, which was a little bit surprising as there have been rumors floating around for the last year that there is some backstage heat between the two.
June 10, 2014
With Daniel Bryan injured, things are a bit hectic backstage in WWE, as he was the centerpiece story line. The situation backstage is made even worse by the fact that the company has seen its stock plummet. It has now gotten to the point where Vince McMahon himself is taking over more control of the creative department than usual. He has been making decisions on how to work around the Bryan injury.
June 8, 2014
During a recent interview, Shawn Michaels revealed that there was quite a bit of backstage heat between he and Undertaker during their careers. Michaels noted that he was obnoxious and outgoing, while Undertaker was quiet and reserved. The two WWE legends had respect for one another, but they simply did not like one another. Vince McMahon was said to have done a lot of work to appease both performers and kept them apart as much as possible backstage.
June 3, 2014
While doing his show in Chicago this weekend, Jim Ross revealed that there is some backstage heat between he and Jesse Ventura. It stems from when they were working together in the XFL, the football league that Vince McMahon and WWE launched. According to Ross, Ventura wanted to be addressed only as "Governor Ventura". Ross told Ventura to kiss his ass instead.
June 1, 2014
Word going around right now is that Alberto Del Rio is not as vocal as he used to be backstage. In the past, he was known to be outwardly upset whenever WWE did not push him properly. Nowadays, though, it appears that he is content with just being there and collecting nice paychecks. He is not as adamant about being in the main event scene as before. The belief backstage is that Del Rio will leave the company sooner than later.
August 1, 2014
Even though the move was done at the last minute, the baby face turn for Jack Swagger has turned out a lot better than WWE had expected. Officials backstage are impressed with the audience reaction to the now patriotic character. A lot of that has to do with the heat that Lana and Alexander Rusev have generated. However, management will more than likely give a push to Swagger to see if the momentum can carry on.
August 1, 2014
While there are still discussions on a title unification program, there are now people backstage in WWE that are pushing for Sheamus to drop the United States Heavyweight Championship to Alexander Rusev. Some feel that it would give he and Lana a bit more heel heat. Plus, they can stall his push a bit by having him defend the belt against lower level opponents.
July 31, 2014
Those that watch Impact Wrestling already know that Low Ki is back with TNA. The former X Division Champion has also been added to the official roster page on their website. Reports are now surfacing that Low Ki isn't just back as a wrestler. He's also working as a backstage agent for the entire X division, which means that he will be in charge of scripting the stories and the matches.
July 31, 2014
Yesterday, Vince Russo took to Twitter to reveal to fans that he opted to quit TNA instead of taking an extended leave of absence. There are now reports surfacing that John Gaburick, the former WWE executive who is now in charge of TNA backstage, actually called and fired Russo. No word yet on which side is telling the truth, but a lot of fans have already opted to assume that Russo is lying.
July 31, 2014
Earlier in the month, Steve Austin made a comment about WWE being too scripted for his taste. While those comments would surely bring backstage heat on one of their mid card performers, it is being said that there is absolutely no heat towards Austin, as management knows that they might need him for business down the line.
July 28, 2014
Since he has shown a willingness to not only do what is asked of him but to actually put in great effort in doing so, Damien Sandow has been earning a good amount of praise backstage by his peers in WWE. They are impressed by the fact that he has not grown frustrated with the new gimmick. Unfortunately for Sandow, though, management does not feel that he deserves a real push at the moment.
July 28, 2014
There are still plans being discussed backstage in WWE to unify the United States Heavyweight Championship and the Intercontinental Championship in the near future. If management decides to go through with it, then Miz is the more likely candidate to hold the unified belt because he has a lot more momentum than Sheamus at this point in time.
July 28, 2014
It looks like the longstanding real life backstage heat between Goldberg and Scott Hall has now ended. The disdain between the two sides started when both were working in WCW. Goldberg has publicly stated that Hall was unprofessional and careless in the ring. The two of them were spotted together at a wrestling convention in Arizona recently, and they appeared to be cordial with one another.
July 28, 2014
While he is a reliable performer who does not cause trouble backstage, Justin Gabriel was one of the candidates to be on the receiving end of a release from WWE when the company was doing budget cuts. He apparently has survived the cuts and will remain with the company for the time being. It is interesting to note that Gabriel has not been utilized on Monday Night Raw since last September.
July 27, 2014
With his in ring career fully behind him now, Tensai has been slowly gaining power backstage in WWE. He impressed management with his ability to function as a color commentator. Now, he has convinced them to let him have a bigger part in the company by training the developmental wrestlers. WWE likes the fact that Tensai has worked overseas and is familiar with a lot of different styles of wrestling.
July 26, 2014
There are those backstage in WWE that are skeptical of the idea of doing a heel turn for Kofi Kingston, who has long been regarded as the ultimate baby face. Since he does a lot of the charity work for the company, some are afraid that it will affect that aspect of his job as well. There are rumors floating around that WWE does not have finalized plans for the new stable that also consists of Xavier Woods and Big E Langston.
July 26, 2014
Josh Mathews might not be out of a job for too long. Rumors are floating around that TNA is very close to signing him to a contract. When he was backstage at Impact Wrestling, he did not seem like a typical visitor, as management was introducing him to people backstage. The belief is that he would be a valuable asset since he understands a lot about the production in WWE.
July 25, 2014
During a recent podcast interview with Jim Ross, Kurt Angle confirmed the longstanding rumors that he and Brock Lesnar got into a backstage fight when both were with WWE. Angle stated that he initiated the brawl with Lesnar because Lesnar was telling the other wrestlers that Angle was too small for him to wrestle. The incident was more of an amateur wrestling match than a fist fight.
July 24, 2014
A lot of people backstage in WWE have been joking around lately about John Cena possibly being the next guy to leave the company to pursue a career in Hollywood. He's got a couple of parts coming up that might help him gain the attention of the studios. There are also talks that Cena is a lot more injured than he lets on, so an acting career might seem like a better option nowadays.
July 23, 2014
While there are still some wrestlers out there who believe that Undertaker was legitimate knocked out at Wrestlemania 30, the majority of the people in the industry are under the impression that the streak ending moment was fully planned by Vince McMahon. The last minute decision was made because he wanted WWE to create a bit of a buzz with the audience.
August 1, 2014
When Vince McMahon announced that they were releasing seven percent of their workforce due to the under performing WWE Network, many within the company feared for their jobs. Today, five developmental wrestlers were given their releases. Garrett Dylan, Travis Tyler, Slate Randall, Mac Miles and Dani Jackson are no longer under contract with WWE.
August 1, 2014
Despite years and years of rumored negotiations between the two sides, it has now been revealed that Sting and Vince McMahon have never met in person. That will be changing soon. Through his deals with Mattel and WWE 2K15, Sting is required to be in Los Angeles during Summerslam 2014 takes place. The belief is that Sting and McMahon will finally sit down and talk about a potential wrestling contract.
July 31, 2014
When the WWE Network first launched, the belief was that there were going to be quite a bit of people who canceled their subscription after the six month commitment expired. Apparently, some people could not wait that long to leave. Several subscribers have found various ways to end their commitment to the WWE Network. A lot of people have discovered that they can simply quit paying Vince McMahon.
July 31, 2014
Some really bad news was announced by Vince McMahon and company today. The official subscribers count for the WWE Network is only sitting at 700,000. There are rumors floating around that the company is rounding up. The online service actually lost some customers, despite the six month commitment being in place. Apparently, some found various ways out of the deal.
July 31, 2014
While the official WWE Network subscribers count will not be revealed until tomorrow, there are already speculations that the company will be doing a massive layoff due to what is predicted to be lower than expected numbers. It is being said that Vince McMahon will be releasing close to ten percent of his workforce in an attempt to appease the investors.
July 30, 2014
Rumors are floating around right now that Vince McMahon would be interested in purchasing the TNA library to add to his WWE Network. It could simply just be all speculation right now, as the company has been focused on cutting back their spending because of how much money has been lost over the last several months. Obviously, no negotiations have taken place since Dixie Carter is still trying to find a new television deal for Impact Wrestling.
July 29, 2014
The mystery is about to revealed. Vince McMahon has been keeping the subscribers count for the WWE Network a well guarded secret, even from those that are within the company. However, an announcement will be made on Thursday to the shareholders. Many are curious to see if the company was able to reach the million subscribers mark that they were hoping for.
July 29, 2014
Vince McMahon has another big headache to deal with, as his company is being hit with a class action lawsuit. The claim is that WWE purposely misled investors about their ability to secure a much better television deal with the network than the contract that they eventually signed. The promise of a bigger television deal was reportedly the reason why a lot of investors sank money into WWE, causing their stocks to soar to record levels.
July 26, 2014
For the longest time, it seemed like Sting would never ever work for Vince McMahon or wrestle for WWE, but things have taken quite the turn. The relationship between the two sides have grown rather quickly. It now appears inevitable that the legendary WCW star is going to work a big match for the company. Sting has repeatedly stated his desire to do a match at every public event that he has attended recently.
July 25, 2014
Even though he has not been with the company for quite a few months now, Jim Ross was actually under contract to WWE. Until today, that is. The legendary commentator revealed to fans through social media that his contract officially came to an end this week. While Ross has stated before that he would love to be the lead commentator for Monday Night Raw again, it does not appear that Vince McMahon is interested in that.
July 23, 2014
Vince McMahon decided to take a huge gamble at WWE Battleground 2014 when he had Lana and Alexander Rusev cutting a promo that hinted about the recent airplane disaster in the Ukraine. That received plenty of backlash from the media and from fans on social media websites. It got to the point where WWE even released a official statement with a veiled jab at those who are complaining.
July 21, 2014
With the real life incident of an airplane being shot down in war torn Ukraine, there are rumors going around that WWE may be forced to tone down the ongoing story line with Alexander Rusev and Lana. Since a lot of people died in the incident, the company may need to be sensitive to the public right now. Vince McMahon loves pushing the envelope, but with WWE struggling financially, now would not be the time for such a move.
July 20, 2014
Since it's only a couple of weeks away from the end of the six month commitment, WWE has already sent out renewal notices to subscribers of the WWE Network. Interestingly enough, there are no special deals to entice people to remain customers. The belief is that with Vince McMahon in cost cutting mode, the company simply wants to make as much money as they can, so there might not be a loyalty discount.
July 19, 2014
With the company desperately needing to boost the subscribers count, the WWE Network is set to go international soon. Emails were sent out to various fans to let them know that a trial run was being offered. Vince McMahon and company are wisely taking the cautious approach by testing things out with a small group of people overseas before opening up the gates for everyone else.

Barren County Middle School student Taryn Kerley was elected as state Beta Club president last weekend at the State Beta Convention in Louisville.
Though Taryn ran unopposed for the position, she didn't take that as an excuse to put anything less than her best effort forth. Taryn's voice boomed with enthusiasm during her candidacy speech despite her small stature.
"You're probably thinking 'She's really small how can she lead us,'" Taryn said at the competition. "... Size has nothing to do with a person's ability to lead effectively."
Taryn's father, Scott Kerley, said he was very proud of his daughter especially for having the courage to speak in front of an audience of more than 5,000 at the state convention. He said he's seen his daughter become more outgoing and confident through her years of involvement in Beta Club, which promotes student leadership and community service.
"Beta Club allows children to be able to spread their wings," he said. "She's learning great values that transcend time."

NORMAN — Bettye Roberta Ryan was born Aug. 25, 1949, in Norman to Dr. Robert O. and Ora Ryan. She passed away at her home in rural Norman on Friday, March 1, 2013, after a yearlong battle with cancer. She was surrounded by her family.
She was born at Norman Municipal Hospital, the youngest of three. She had two older brothers, David and Bill. Bettye graduated from Norman High School in 1967. Soon after graduation, she married and had three sons and raised them in Norman. After her sons were married, she moved to Wayne, where she founded Clay Bank Ranch. She was an officer of many Kiger Mustang organizations. After 12 years in Wayne, she resettled back in rural Norman.

Computer Science & Engineering, Electrical Engineering
Our education mission is to train students in computer science and electrical engineering to be able to understand, design, and apply computer algorithms and signal processing techniques. Unlike many other programs, ours is focused on solving complex problems in
- speech and language processing,
- machine learning,
- biomedical problems.
We offer degrees in both Computer Science and Electrical Engineering as our focus on speech and language processing, machine learning, and biomedicine spans these two disciplines. Some of our work falls entirely within one of the discplines. For example, our work on language processing, using symbolic reasoning, falls within the domain of CS, while our work on signal processing falls within EE. However, much of our work, such as machine learning, speech signal processing, and using statistical techniques for language processing, falls within the intersection of CS and EE. Similarly, some of the courses we offer are listed as CS, some as EE, and some are cross-listed for both.
Our education program is housed in the Center for Spoken Language Understanding (CSLU), which conducts cutting-edge research work on speech and language processing, machine learning, and biomedicine, and receives funding from the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, Department of Defense, as well as many private foundations. CSLU was founded over 20 years ago and has recently hosted the three major conferences in speech, language, and dialogue processing: Interspeech 2012, ACL 2011 and SIGdial 2011.
Reflecting CSLU's interest in applying speech and language process and machine learning to help unravel neurological diseases, CSLU joined the Institute on Development and Disability in July 2012.
Taking Classes without being admittedYou are welcome to enroll as a non-degree student for a total of 12 credits prior to matriculating into a formal Graduate degree program. Contact the Registrar's office for details.
Located in the Pacific Northwest, Portland Oregon is the 23rd largest metropolitan area in the United States, with over 2 million people, and is one of 8 US cities in the top 50 of the Mercer quality of living global city rankings in 2008. It lies at the intersection of the Columbia and Willamette Rivers, and is close to skiing (50 miles from Mt. Hood) and the Pacific coast (75 miles). Portland has 28 microbreweries (most of any US city), and well-developed mass transit system and a strong bicycling culture. it is home to Forest Park, the largest urban forest reserve in the United States, and to Powell's City of Books, the largest independent bookstore in the US, which occupies an entire city block with new and used books of the greatest variety. Portland has been spotlighted in the New York Times several times recently, drawing praise for local tea/coffee/beer obsessions, bicycle culture and the local cuisine. Numerous annual art, music and film festivals complement a robust local arts scene, including many live theater and performing arts companies, museums, and live music venues. It is a great place to live for those who enjoy outdoors activities, such as hiking, skiing, running or cycling; as well as for those who enjoy the benefits of an accessible urban center. Cost of living is moderate, hence affordable for those attending graduate school.

Changing China
Giant on the move
from Global Investing:
A shoe, a song and the promise of the West
I found myself at Selfridges this week, specifically in what the London retailer says is the world's largest shoe department.
Slightly dazed by cornucopia of women's shoes on slick display, I was roused only when the haze of muzak wafting over the PA system was suddenly dispersed by the jaunty strains of the Chinese New Year ditty 'Gongxi Gongxi'.
A 1946 composition from Shanghai, the song has gone from classic to kitsch, evolving to become the most popular festive song in the Chinese-speaking world. Its ubiquity rests on the many -- for me at least -- teeth-grindingly cloying versions played all over shops and markets in Asia. (Click here for example and don't say I didn't warn you)
I was somewhat surprised by the song's appearance in the British retail icon -- not least because it's still some ways off the Year of the Dragon. But then looking at the shoppers around me it all made sense.

A rare pink-footed goose that breeds in Greenland and winters in Europe has been spotted at the Fogelsville quarry, the Lehigh Valley Audobon Society says.
"The Audubon Community is buzzing about this...," member Lynn Serfass told Upper Macungie's Park Team Leader Jim Soltis.
"Pretty incredible."
Scott Burnet, who chairs the Lehigh Valley Audubon Society's Habitat Development and Enhancement Committee, said Wednesday the goose was first spotted late last week at the quarry at Upper Macungie Park off Route 100 -- only the second recorded occurrence of the species in Lehigh County. (The first was in 2009 at Lake Muhlenberg in Allentown).
He said he was alerted to the sighting on Saturday, but did not see the pink-footed goose himself at the quarry until Monday.
"It's a pretty big deal," Burnet said.
Burnet said it's possible, but not likely, the migratory goose was blown off course and ended up at Upper Macungie Park off Route 100. He said it's more likely the species is extending its range to new areas, since it's a very strong flier and used to traveling long distances.
"These birds come here on purpose, for some reason," he said.
The local Audubon Society is thrilled with Upper Macungie park crews, who cleared back brush at the quarry last week, opening up views of birds on the water. The clearing made visible the north cove of the main quarry, where the Audubon Society says most of the rare waterfowl are spotted.
The Fogelsville quarry is considered one of the top 50 birding spots in the Lehigh Valley.
A pink-footed goose has a short bill, a bright pink middle with a black base and tip, and pink feet, according to Wikipedia. Its body is gray-brown and its head and neck are a darker brown.
Burnet said he spotted another one at Lake Muhlenberg in Allentown on Monday as well, the third recorded sighting.
Burnet advises those who want to try to see the pink-footed goose at the Fogelsville quarry to get there by 8:30 a.m., before it flies off to feed with Canada geese. He said it's difficult to say how long the bird will be in Upper Macungie, since a pink-footed goose is used to really cold weather and a warming trend could have an impact. However, he said it's possible the bird could stay all winter.
The one spotted in 2009 stayed in the area a week, he said.
Word of the new sighting has been spreading, he said, and people from other states have been stopping by Upper Macungie to see it.

Jacksonville Daily Progress
Houston-based Stage Stores, Inc., a billion-dollar, multi-state business with over 13,000 employees, has tentatively agreed to expand its local distribution center operations in Jacksonville — in the process potentially creating more than 100 jobs in town by late 2015.
The City Council on Friday authorized the Jacksonville Economic Development Corporation to pay as much as $1.1 million to help the business — also known as Specialty Retailers, Inc.— secure new property in the 1600 block of North Bolton.
The arrangement is an "agreement in principle" with the understanding that the contractual papers will be formally drawn up and the money disbursed by JEDCO.
According to reports, $500,000 of the promised amount will be paid to the company after purchase of the building and city receipt of a certificate of occupancy. If the company does not purchase the property but leases it instead, the money must be repaid, reports show.
In a memo to Mel Ward Sr., vice president of real estate for Specialty Retailers, JEDCO President Darrell W. Prcin expressed great pleasure at the promising new partnership between the company and the city.
"We sincerely believe that this award and your organization's desire to expand its operations to Jacksonville will be mutually beneficial for all," Prcin said in the memo.
The proposed subsidy was approved unanimously by the council Friday afternoon after a thorough motion covering a lot of legal ground — it specifically included the 106 additional Jacksonville jobs — was read into the record by Councilman Billy McDonald and seconded by Councilwoman Ann Chandler.
According to its literature, Stage Stores Inc. operates 851 department sites in 40 states.
The incoming Specialty Retailers Inc. is expected to purchase property at 1653 North Bolton — a property owned by Astro Air, Inc., that consists of 109.58 acres of land, a property tax value of $299,310, and improvements containing 190,000 swear feet with a tax value of $1,822,690, according to company paperwork.
As part of the arrangement, the Houston-based company must maintain the 93 jobs already being performed at its current distribution center in town and add 106 additional jobs by Dec. 31, 2015.
At present, the company's existing distribution center serves Beall's, Goody's, Palais Royal, Peebles and Stage Stores.
The expanded facility would help distribution for Steele, the company's off-price stores and e-commerce website business, among other ventures.
The company currently distributes all merchandise to its stores through three distribution centers located in Jacksonville, South Hill, Va., and Jeffersonville, Ohio.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) -- Steve Spurrier and Johnny Majors probably would not approve.
No. 18 Florida is running the ball early and often, a slow-it-down, ground-and-pound attack featuring senior Mike Gillislee.
No. 23 Tennessee is throwing it all over the field, relying on junior Tyler Bray's accuracy, arm strength and decision-making skills to direct an up-tempo, often no-huddle, offense.
The contrasting styles are working to perfection for the Southeastern Conference rivals. Gillislee helped the Gators (2-0) eke out wins against Bowling Green and Texas A&M. Bray carried the Volunteers (2-0) to victories over North Carolina State and Georgia State.
Whichever teams keeps it going Saturday probably should have a big advantage in the Eastern Division showdown.
Tennessee coach Derek Dooley says "they're going to want it slow and we're going to want it fast."

ABC News Chief White House Correspondent Jonathan Karl first reported on Twitter that Rev. Louie Giglio of Buckhead's Passion City Church has chosen to remove himself from President Barack Obama's inauguration program. Giglio had been selected to deliver the benediction at the event on Jan. 21.
(Buckhead Patch has reached out to Giglio and will update this report when he responds.)
According to tweets from Karl, who was told by an inaugural source, Giglio "pulled himself out when he realized this was going to be a distraction."
President Barack Obama has come under fire for selecting Giglio, who advocated "ex-gay" therapy and fighting the LGBT movement's "aggressive agenda," according to Think Progress. Members and supporters of the LGBT community do not want Giglio to deliver the benediction and started a White House petition to have him removed.
Giglio issued the following statement Thursday about his decision to withdraw from the inaugural program:
January 10, 2014
I am honored to be invited by the President to give the benediction at the upcoming inaugural on January 21. Though the President and I do not agree on every issue, we have fashioned a friendship around common goals and ideals, most notably, ending slavery in all its forms.
Due to a message of mine that has surfaced from 15-20 years ago, it is likely that my participation, and the prayer I would offer, will be dwarfed by those seeking to make their agenda the focal point of the inauguration. Clearly, speaking on this issue has not been in the range of my priorities in the past fifteen years. Instead, my aim has been to call people to ultimate significance as we make much of Jesus Christ.
Neither I, nor our team, feel it best serves the core message and goals we are seeking to accomplish to be in a fight on an issue not of our choosing, thus I respectfully withdraw my acceptance of the President's invitation. I will continue to pray regularly for the President, and urge the nation to do so. I will most certainly pray for him on Inauguration Day.
Our nation is deeply divided and hurting, and more than ever need God's grace and mercy in our time of need.
Presidential Inaugural Committee Spokeswoman Addie Whisenant said the committee chose Giglio for his commitment to ending human trafficking, but were unaware of his past comments when they invited him to deliver the benediction on Jan. 21.
In her statement, Whisenant said: "We were not aware of Pastor Giglio's past comments at the time of his selection and they don't reflect our desire to celebrate the strength and diversity of our country at this Inaugural. Pastor Giglio was asked to deliver the benediction in large part for his leadership in combating human trafficking around the world. As we now work to select someone to deliver the benediction, we will ensure their beliefs reflect this administration's vision of inclusion and acceptance for all Americans."
Obama was criticized for similar reasons for his selection of megachurch pastor Rick Warren, author of the bestseller "Purpose Driven Life," to deliver the invocation at his first inauguration.
Buckhead Patch will continue to update this story as details are made available.

The top half of the two-story Romiad Building will soon move from Haugen Street to N. Nordic Drive.
If all goes as planned, the Romiad Building will soon be moved about 600 feet, and face a different direction.
The Petersburg Economic Development Council recommended, and Petersburg City Council on Tuesday unanimously approved, a loan of $210,000, at 5 percent interest, to local businessman Pete Litsheim.
Litsheim plans to move the 29-year-old building from its current location near the corner of 2nd and Haugen to across the street, down and over a block to an empty lot next to Scandia House on N. Nordic Dr.
Litsheim, who owns the empty lot, and is the proprietor of Diamante Gift Shoppe, got the idea to move the building from the city council, who asked for alternatives to tearing down the building. The Romiad Building needs to move in order to make room for the construction of a new library, which begins this summer.
Rock-N-Road Construction currently owns the building, and is under contract to have the building removed from the lot by March 31. City Manager Stephen Giesbrecht noted that there wasn't a stipulation in the contract regarding how the building should be removed from its current location.
What Litsheim has proposed is removing the second story and attic from the 40 x 60-foot, two-story building and move it, on dollies to the empty lot. The remaining floor of the building will be demolished and removed.
"Will the thing hold together?" asked Mayor Al Dwyer.
Litsheim assured the mayor and city council that his plan will work. He has met with professional building movers in Oregon and Iowa, he said. And he has had experience moving a building in Petersburg several years ago, he explained.
"I wouldn't be interested in the project if it wasn't for the city," Litsheim said.
Although Councilman Rick Braun was not in attendance at the meeting, his presence was known. The portion of the discussion focused on ten questions Braun had emailed to fellow Councilman Don Koenigs.
The questions brought up issues of safety concerns during the actual move and improvements to the destination site.
According to Litsheim, preparing the building for the move will take a couple of weeks, but the move itself will only take a few hours. The goal is to lift the top half of the building and move it in increments. Litsheim said the move may take place in the evening to avoid busy day-time traffic.
"I want retail space with a 10-foot ceiling," Litsheim said.
The plan is to have Diamante move into the new building once it's in place.
"I've gone over there, I've measured. I think I've discovered the best way to move the building," Litsheim said.
Once the building is moved, it will be updated and sprinkler systems will be added, Litsheim said.
"I'm still responsible for [the building]," said Richard Burrell of Rock-N-Road Construction. "It's still a good building, if it ends up downtown on that lot it'll be a good thing."

In a project that came in $2.3 million under budget and two months ahead of schedule, state and local officials praised the completion of the year-long rehabilitation of the Arrigoni Bridge.
"Middletown and Portland together at last!" said Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro during Tuesday's ceremony on the Portland side of the bridge. "The historic Arrigoni Bridge is reborn this afternoon."
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy and James Redeker, Commissioner of the State Department of Transportation, joined DeLauro, Middletown Mayor Dan Drew, Portland First Selectwoman Susan Bransfield, federal transportation officials, and Middlesex County Chamber of Commerce President Larry McHugh to celebrate the completion of the year-long rehabilitation of the Arrigoni Bridge.
"In the worst times, we actually moved forward," Malloy said. "And that's exactly what we're trying to do in the state of Connecticut today. Sixty people were employed at one time or another during the entire project.
This is a great time to be making an investment in our infrastructure and in our future."
The original 1938 bronze bridge marker was unveiled during the ceremony. It contains the names of the Middletown and Portland Bridge Committee, including that of Joseph P. Bransfield, who is the Portland selectwoman's husband's grandfather.
It was taken down during repairs and will be permanently affixed to the center of the bridge.
"Thanks to the investment of the Federal Highway Administration and the hard work of the DOT, today is a good day for Connecticut travelers," Malloy said.
"Strengthening our economy requires addressing our aging infrastructure and transportation network. For 74 years, the Arrigoni Bridge has been an integral part of our highway system—with these repairs it will last long into the future. I applaud our DOT crews for their good work and especially thank the people of Middletown and Portland for their patience during the construction."
"This is a shining example of what can happen in America now," said Drew. "For anyone that's ready to write off America or the American worker or the state of Connecticut, they are betting on the wrong people because when people come together ... and put their nose to the grindstone and work together with that can-do American spirit and can-do Yankee ingenuity, this is the kind of success story that comes out of it."
This June, the final phase of Arrigoni Bridge construction was expected to end by Nov. 13. "We are in the home stretch, we fully expect to complete on time, we're slightly ahead of schedule," said Kenneth E. Fargnoli at the time. He's the state Department of Transportation engineer coordinating the $19.4 million bridge project.
The original estimate was for $16,947,000.
Begun in May 2011, the three-phase $19.7 million project included replacing the bridge deck as well as sidewalks and concrete barriers.
The work created 60 jobs for Connecticut residents in construction, planning, and design. Construction wrapped up in September 2012, two months ahead of the expected November completion date.
Federal funds covered 80 percent of the project costs. "I was proud to be there to be part of that fight to get the $17.6 million," DeLauro said.
"This bridge is a part of the National Highway System, a system of interregional highways important to the nation's economy, defense, and mobility," said Amy Jackson-Grove, regional administrator of the Federal Highway Administration.
"The FHWA is proud to work with our partners at the Connecticut Department of Transportation and invest federal funds on needed repairs to keep this bridge in a state of good repair."
James P. Redeker is Commissioner of the Connecticut DOT. "Getting all four lanes of traffic reopened early was a major accomplishment and a testament to the diligence of the DOT staff, its contractors, and the towns of Middletown and Portland," he said.
The 1,200 foot Arrigoni Bridge, named after advocate Charles J. Arrigoni, who served in the State Assembly from 1933-1936 and in the State Senate from 1937-1940, first opened in 1938 and carries 35,000 vehicles per day over the Connecticut River between Middletown and Portland.

Our country is at a crossroads. After four straight years of trillion-dollar deficits, our national debt now stands at over $16 trillion. If we don't change course, based on the policies contained in President Barack Obama's most recent budget proposal, we'll continue to have trillion-dollar deficits as far as the eye can see.
This is unsustainable. The country is headed for bankruptcy, and my generation is in danger of being the first to leave America worse off than we inherited it. Regardless of what political party one belongs to, we simply cannot countenance this — 2013 must be the year we fix it.
Clearly what this country needs right now are policies that grow our economy, restructure federal programs, and reduce spending. We certainly have the "know-how" to get that done — the question is do we have the political will to tackle this crisis. I believe we do.
Starting with the basics — we have a constitutional design that, in the absence of political consensus, maintains the status quo. Our founders purposely created this system to protect our liberties while providing for limited and effective government. Consensus can be forged by single-party control with a unified position or through bipartisan agreement during periods of divided government. Clearly, if we desire to change, we will need to work together.
In 2010, President Obama commissioned a deficit reduction panel led by former Republican Sen. Alan Simpson and President Bill Clinton's former chief of staff, Erskine Bowles. They produced a viable bipartisan proposal that reduced the deficit by over $4.2 trillion over a decade.
By the end of this 10-year span, the annual deficit would be less than the interest payments on the debt, allowing for a fully balanced budget in the years that followed.
Regrettably, Simpson-Bowles went nowhere. To date, President Obama has not embraced it, nor has he provided a workable alternative.

Harris Adds Eshbaugh To Growing Staff
Courtesy: UNCW Athletic Communications
Release: 06/21/2012
WILMINGTON, North Carolina - UNCW Head Coach Adell Harris continues to round out her inaugural staff as she announced the hiring of former Wake Forest staff member Jason Eshbaugh as director of Basketball Operations on Thursday.
With the Seahawks, Eshbaugh will coordinate team travel, monitor academic performance, handle scheduling of games and practices and serves as the program's community service liason. He will also assist in video editing, scouting and on-campus recruiting.
"I am extremely excited to add Jason Eshbaugh to our staff as Director of Basketball Operations," said Harris. "He has served in this position at the highest level for eight seasons and understands every aspect of running and organizing the internal operations of a program at this level. More importantly, Jason is a high-character individual that is passionate about the game of basketball and believes in our program's vision. I couldn't be happier about having him join our journey."
Eshbaugh makes his way to the Port City after eight seasons at Wake Forest, where he served as the director of player development and scouting for the 2011-12 season after handling the Director of Basketball Operations duties for the Demon Deacons program the previous seven campaigns. His responsibilities with Coach Mike Peterson's staff included game film and opposing player personal breakdowns, assisting with official recruiting visits, overseeing the day-to-day operation of the team and the scheduling of games and practices. He also played a key role in the development of content for the Wake Forest women's basketball recruiting website.
Eshbaugh joined the Demon Deacons from Kentucky, where he spent two seasons as a graduate assistant with the Wildcat women's basketball program. His duties at Kentucky included film exchange and video scouting.
Prior to his time at Kentucky, Eshbaugh spent one season as the assistant coach for the varsity men's basketball team at Mercer Area High School, in Mercer, Pa.
"I'm excited to be joining the UNCW women's basketball program as its director of operations," said Eshbaugh. "I look forward to working with Coach Harris and the rest of the staff as we look to take the women's basketball program at UNCW to the next level."
A native of Mercer, Pa., Eshbaugh received his undergraduate degree in business management from Grove City College before earning his master's degree in sports management from Kentucky.

How are you doing on your New Year's resolutions? Here is a quick reminder that big changes are a series of small steps. If you've made a commitment for things to be different this year, consider breaking your commitment down into daily and weekly goals. Often commitments to change involve a change in lifestyle, and it's easy to underestimate how difficult this is. Going back to old routines often leads to old behaviors.
What is one thing that will be doing differently today, this week, or this month? How will you keep track of changes? Consider making your commitment to change public.
Who is supporting you in making these changes?
Someone once told me that if you are on the bottom the only way you can move is up. Here are 27 stages of change that you might be going through right now:
- Be reminded on some gut level of why you want or need to change
- Avoid everything related to changing
- Consider those who have changed
- Compare yourself to those whose lives are different
- Attack yourself for not changing
- Start to take the first step towards change
- Become overwhelmed
- Wallow a bit
- Consider the benefits of change
- Get motivated or inspired by others whose lives are different
- Be reminded on some gut level of how things are miserable for you now
- Ask for help
- Experience a sense of efficacy or encouragement
- Experience a setback or discouragement
- Try again
- Become overwhelmed
- Avoid people and places reminding you of change, at least for a while
- Give up
- Try again
- Get reminded of how miserable you are
- Approach everything that you've tried to avoid
- Get overwhelmed
- Take a small step and stick with it
- Notice the pros and cons of the small step
- Rant and rave to other people in your life about how things aren't working
- Try to get help again
- Get motivated, take another step.
Don't kid yourself. This stuff is hard. We've all been there!

Does Antibiotic Use Cause Breast Cancer?
Antibiotic Use and Breast Cancer Risk
You may have seen or heard the recent news reports on a possible link between antibiotic use and breast cancer risk. These reports are based on a study published in the February 18, 2004 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, which found that women who had more than 25 antibiotic prescriptions over an average period of 17 years were significantly more likely to develop breast cancer than women who never took them.
If you take or have taken antibiotics, you may be concerned that you have put yourself at greater risk for breast cancer. But experts say that it is too early for such concerns. Study coauthor Stephen Taplin, MD, of the National Cancer Institute's Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences, stressed that the results do not necessarily mean that antibiotics cause breast cancer. Rather, they simply mean that researchers have found an important association worthy of further investigation.
"This is not a reason to feel scared or to stop taking antibiotics," Dr. Taplin said. "None of us believes that it is anything more than a very interesting finding that needs to be looked at more carefully. It's a clue to where we might look to find more answers."
The study's lead author, epidemiologist Christine Velicer, PhD, Dr. Taplin, and a team of other researchers compared nearly 3,000 women with breast cancer who were enrolled in the Group Health Cooperative health plan in Seattle with nearly 8,000 plan members who did not have breast cancer. They found that women who took antibiotics for more than 500 days -- or had more than 25 prescriptions -- over an average period of 17 years had more than twice the risk of breast cancer as women who had not taken any antibiotics. The authors found an increased risk in all classes of antibiotics that they studied. "One of the main questions now is whether the antibiotics themselves, or the underlying conditions that lead to antibiotic use, are increasing breast cancer risk," says Dr. Taplin.
It may be that women with a tendency to develop bacterial infections treated by antibiotics are also more susceptible to the development of cancer. On the other hand, the antibiotics themselves are known to affect certain bodily processes -- such as the immune response, and the absorption of cancer-fighting chemicals in food -- and one or more of these effects may raise breast cancer risk. Future studies will be needed to explore these possibilities.

It was just a few years ago that the city's farmers market made a comeback.
The market thrived many years ago, then died out due to a lack of interest. With the backing of the Team Haverhill Civic organization, it is operating again in the late summer, giving local farmers a place to sell their goods other than out-of-the-way roadside stands.
It also gives residents a place to buy the freshest stuff around and a way to support their community's farmers.
It works for everyone involved.
This year, there was a new twist on the farmers market theme. Haverhill's first winter farmers market operated for a month and was a success, organizers said. (See story, page 1.)
It was located at Universalist Unitarian Church and featured fresh eggs, winter squash, pastries and other items that drew locals to shop there.
"People liked buying locally and they asked for a winter market, so we tried it last year for the first time, after our regular summer farmers market, and the winter one went well," Jeff Grasse of the Team Haverhill civic group told the Gazette.
Team Haverhill, an organization of volunteers from across the community, helped bring the summer farmers market back and also helped create the winter market.
Leaders of Universalist Unitarian Church said they opened up their building to the market to support healthy living.
The winter market offered a great variety of products. Produce from local farms such as Fletcher Farm, Kimball Farm and Stasinos Family Farm packed the market. There were also non-traditional farmers market items such as gluten-free baked goods from Madison's Sweet Treats.
We encourage organizers of both the summer and winter farmers markets to continue them and widen the number of participants. We also hope residents will shop at the markets, and that those who haven't yet stopped by do so.
You're likely to find something you like — and tasty foods that are good for the family.
And you're sure to help small farms and other businesses that need the support, especially during winter when sales tend to be slow.

Novelist Tom McCarthy, one of the more striking new talents to emerge from British fiction over the past decade, reads from his work tonight at 7 p.m. in the University at Buffalo's Exhibit X Fiction Series at Hallwalls Cinema, 341 Delaware Avenue, near Tupper St. The event is free and open to the public.
McCarthy is the author of "Remainder" (Metronome Press, 2005), a debut novel which dealt with questions of trauma and repetition, "Men in Space" (Alma Books, 2007), set in Central Europe during the collapse of communism, and "C" (Alfred A. Knopf, 2010) , a novel set in the early 20th century that explores the relationship between melancholia, violence and the emergent radio technology of the era, as well as the essay collection "Tintin and the Secret of Literature,"an exploration of the themes and patterns of Hergé's comic books, published by Granta Books in 2006.
"Remainder" won the 2008 Believer Book Award and is currently being adapted for cinema by FilmFour Films. "C" was shortlisted for the Booker Prize in 2010.
In addition to his work as a fiction writer, essayist, and critic, McCarthy is the founder and General Secretary of the International Necronautical Society (INS), a semi-fictitious avant-garde network of writers, philosophers and artists whose work has been exhibited internationally at venues including the Palais de Tokyo Paris, Tate Britain and Moderna Museet Stockholm.

The Lamplighter would like to extend a hearty thank you to students, parents and staff of Bradford Elementary School for raising more than $1,072 for the Haverhill Gazette Santa Fund. The school's Student Council hosted a penny drive to raise the money. Even when the holiday season had passed, Bradford students showed the spirit of giving isn't limited to a single time in the year.
Speaking of the holiday spirit, there seems to be no limit on how long decorations remain up. The Lamplighter hopes decorators will begin taking down the garland decorations on lampposts downtown. They're starting to wither away.
The Lamplighter has sampled lobster bisque and chowders from Rhode Island to Maine, but has tasted none better than those at the Haverhill Beef Company and the Pine River fish market.
Heard on the police scanner in the newsroom: A woman ingested a battery in Haverhill last week.
There was an exciting doubleheader between Pentucket and Whittier's basketball teams last Sunday. It's nice to see all high school basketball teams in Greater Haverhill playing well so far this season.
