The diffusion of the tractor in American Agriculture: 1910-1960
AbstractThis paper examines the impact and diffusion of the gasoline tractor in American agriculture. A key feature of the transition from horses to tractors was a long intermediate stage when both modes of power were used on the same farm. This is largely explained in the technical limitations of early tractors. In addition, we explore how rural markets and institutions adjusted to facilitate diffusion. Our simultaneous-equation regression analysis reveals that farm scale and tractor adoption had positive, independent effects on each other. Finally, we analyze diffusion as a capital replacement problem, which reveals that the shift to the new technology came far sooner than has generally been thought.

Worldwide anti-corruption initiatives — a comparison of UK and US legislation
The UK's Bribery Act (the Bribery Act), which came into force on 1 July 2011, was supplemented by guidance issued by the UK Ministry of Justice aimed at helping commercial organisations understand the types of procedures they could put into place to prevent bribery. Other guidance relating to the Bribery Act has also been published, such as the "Joint Prosecution Guidance" of the Director of the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) and the Director of Public Prosecutions, the SFO's recent revised guidance on the Act and Transparency International's "Adequate Procedures Guide".
By contrast, they key piece of long-standing anti-bribery legislation in the US has come with little official guidance until very recently. In November 2012, the US Department of Justice (DOJ) and the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued a joint "Resource Guide to the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act" (the Guide). The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) was enacted as far back as 1977 and is aimed at combating the bribery of foreign officials. Unlike its predecessor, the much less detailed "Lay Person's Guide to the FCPA", this new Guide is intended to provide a comprehensive review of the US government's position on enforcement under the FCPA and its expectations of corporate compliance procedures. Although it is not binding, the Guide will serve as a useful resource for companies faced with the challenge of complying with the FCPA.
This article provides a general comparison of the Bribery Act and the FCPA, in light of the new FCPA Resource Guide. It will be of relevance to corporates trading internationally, who may find they have to comply with both statutes…

Cocoa grind record high in 2013
At 509,237 tonnes, total up 7.5% from 2012.
BakingBusiness.com, 1/17/2014
by Ron Sterk
WASHINGTON — North American cocoa bean grind was record high in 2013, according to data from the National Confectioners Association. The N.C.A. reported fourth-quarter 2013 grind at 125,332 tonnes, up 4.4% from the final quarter of 2012 but at the low end of trade expectations. For the year grind totaled 509,237 tonnes, up 7.5% from 2012 and the highest on record. First-quarter grind was up 5.8% from a year earlier, second-quarter up 11.8% and third quarter up 8.2%. European cocoa bean grind reported by the European Cocoa Association was 348,406 tonnes in the fourth quarter, up 6.2% from a year earlier, with annual grind at 1,329,485 tonnes, up 3%. Cocoa bean grind is an indication of cocoa and chocolate demand. The International Cocoa Organization has forecast demand for cocoa beans will surpass production for the second consecutive year in 2014.

Some substitute teachers say they won't cross picket lines during potential strike
PORTLAND, Ore. -- As teachers prepare to vote on a strike this week, some substitute teachers are saying they'll refuse to cross the picket lines if the union carries out the first-ever strike in the history of Portland Public Schools.
On Friday, a spokeswoman for PPS told KATU the district will keep schools and classes open if teachers strike by implementing an "emergency plan."
Spokeswoman Christine Miles would not give an on-camera interview, but said in person on Monday afternoon the district will not discuss specifics about its emergency plan until it actually has to implement it.
"We have an emergency plan in place. If and when a strike happens, parents should rest assured that they will be contacted immediately with a plan for their school," said Miles.
Earlier, Miles had said the plan includes calling on substitutes, retirees, recent graduates and previous job applicants to fill in for striking teachers.
"Everyone will be state-qualified," said Miles.
Reaction from substitute teachers on Monday raised questions about how the district will find enough people.
"I've been a substitute teacher for 15 years," said Jeff Kipilman, who gave an interview outside Madison High School during his planning period on Monday. "I would not cross the picket line. I would notify the district that I would not work if teachers strike."
Kipilman, and other PPS substitute teachers, told KATU they would support the union.
Miles declined to provide KATU with the number of substitutes and other replacement teachers on its emergency plan list.
The PPS website claims it has 2,828 teachers and 1,006 substitutes.
On Friday, Miles said substitutes have a "no-strike" clause in their contract and the district would delete the names of substitutes from its database if they held a strike.
Kipilman disputed that, saying substitutes could simply refuse to accept jobs, not hold an actual strike, if the Portland Association of Teachers authorizes a strike for full-time teachers.
Kipilman says he and about three-quarters of the district's substitutes are also PAT members.
"The union called all of the subs about two weeks ago and urged us not to work if they go on strike," he said.
Kipilman estimates he's spoken to about 100 substitutes and claims all of them agreed they would not cross the picket lines.
KATU left voicemails, sent emails and tweeted a question to PPS on Monday asking for a detailed emergency plan and reaction to the latest comments from its substitutes.
PPS responded to a tweet, saying it will contact parents if necessary, but did not reply to a follow-up tweet asking if substitutes are allowed to strike.
Meanwhile, a man named Hugh Gardner contacted KATU offering to work as a substitute during a strike. Gardner says his wife is a retired teacher, and his daughter is qualified in Washington state, and both would by willing to work.
If you are a substitute teacher who is willing to work during a potential strike, we want to hear from you. Send an email to email@example.com.

September 2, 2014
MEDFORD, Okla. (AP) -- Authorities say a train has slammed into a propane tanker truck in north-central Oklahoma, triggering a large explosion that killed two people and injured a third.
The Ponca City News reports that the tanker was filled with propane shortly before it was struck on U.S. 81, about a mile south of Medford.
It's not yet known whether the victims were in the truck or the train. Oklahoma Highway Patrol Lt. George Brown says the survivor was airlifted to a hospital.
Union Pacific spokeswoman Raquel Espinoza-Williams says the train had departed from Wichita, Kan., heading to Fort Worth, Texas. She says it was hauling flour, wheat and some flammable substances. None of the flammable substances leaked.

Weekly News Update on the Americas
Mexico: unionists protest Cananea toxic spill
At least 800 members of Section 65 of the National Union of Mine and Metal Workers and the Like of the Mexican Republic (SNTMMSRM, "Los Mineros") began blocking the three main entrances to the giant Buenavista del Cobre copper mine in Cananea, near the US border in the northwestern state of Sonora, on Aug. 20 to protest environmental damage caused two weeks earlier when about 40,000 cubic meters of copper sulfate acid solution spilled from the mine into the Bacanuchi and Sonora rivers. Most of the unionists lost their jobs four years ago when the mine's owner, Grupo México S.A.B. de C.V., broke a 2007-2010 strike over health and safety issues. "During the strike we made several complaints about the improper and inadequate measures Grupo México implemented for preventing overflows from the dams" for chemicals and heavy metals, Section 65 director Sergio Tolano Lizárraga told the national daily La Jornada. He said the blockade would continue until the company recognized the workers' old contract. (LJ, Aug. 22)
Honduras: child, journalist murders continue
At least five Honduran minors recently deported from the US were among the 42 children murdered in the northern city of San Pedro Sula, Cortés department, since February, according to Hector Hernández, who heads the city's morgue. The number could be as high as 10, he told Los Angeles Times reporter Cindy Carcamo. In June and July the administration of US president Barack Obama responded to a dramatic increase of tens of thousands of Central American minors seeking refuge in the US by emphasizing that most will be repatriated; the administration even arranged and publicized a special deportation flight of mothers with young children to San Pedro Sula on July 14 . But Carcamo's reporting suggests that publicity won't be enough to stop youths from trying to flee gang violence in Honduras. "There are many youngsters who only three days after they've been deported are killed, shot by a firearm," Hernández said. "They return just to die."
Haiti: Aristide's lawyers question inquiry
Former Haitian prime minister Yvon Neptune (2002-2004) appeared before investigative judge Lamarre Bélizaire at the judge's Port-au-Prince office on Aug. 22 to answer questions in an inquiry into allegations of corruption and drug trafficking during the second administration of former president Jean-Bertrand Aristide (1991-1996, 2001-2004). Bélizaire has notified the authorities that 33 people, most of them connected with Aristide's Lavalas Family (FL) party, are not permitted to leave the country because of their connection with the investigation. After the Aug. 22 session, Neptune, who has broken with Aristide, told reporters that he had no problem answering Bélizaire's summons. (Radio Kiskeya, Haiti, Aug. 23)
Brazil: Haiti mission shaped Rio police unit
Two Brazilian experts in police work have confirmed longstanding claims that the Brazilian military and police used their leading role in the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) as a way to train their forces for operations in Brazil's own cities. According to Lt. Col. Carlos Cavalcanti, of the Brazilian Peace Operations Joint Training Center (CCOPAB), the Brazilians were especially interested in the concept of permanent "strong points" in urban areas, which MINUSTAH forces used to "pacify" Port-au-Prince's huge Cité Soleil section in 2005 and the Cité Militaire neighborhood in 2007. "Rio de Janeiro's Militarized Police even sent a group to Haiti while these operations were still being carried out, with the object of taking in the Brazilian army's experiences," Cavalcanti said.
Haiti: opposition grows to mega-mining
At a July 25 meeting in Port-au-Prince, some 28 Haitian organizations expressed their interest in joining a movement to oppose plans under way for open-pit mining in the north of the country, with a focus on gold mining operations by the Vancouver-based Eurasian Minerals company. The meeting was organized by the Collective Against Mining, which was formed a year ago by Tèt Kole Ti Peyizan Ayisyen ("Small Haitian Peasants Unity"), the Defenders of the Oppressed (DOP), the Popular Democratic Movement (MODEP), the Haitian Platform of Human Rights Organizations (POHDH), the Haitian Platform Advocating an Alternative Development (PAPDA) and Batay Ouvriye ("Workers' Struggle").
Argentina: US sued at Hague over default
The International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague said on Aug. 7 that Argentina had asked it to take action against the US for what the South American country called "violations of Argentine sovereignty and immunities and other related violations as a result of judicial decisions adopted by US tribunals" that interfered with the payment of its debts. Financial services agencies declared Argentina in default on July 30 when it failed to arrive at a settlement with a small group of investors led by US hedge funds NML Capital and Aurelius Capital Management. A federal judge in New York, Thomas Griesa, had ruled that unless it had an arrangement with the hedge funds, Argentina couldn't make payments to the majority of its creditors, who had agreed to accept discounted exchange bonds.
Cuba: another USAID program exposed
From October 2009 to some time in 2011 the US Agency for International Development (USAID) sponsored a program that paid almost a dozen youths from Costa Rica, Peru and Venezuela to travel to Cuba in order to obtain intelligence information and identify potential government opponents among students and other youths, according to an investigation that the Associated Press (AP) wire service published on Aug. 4. The revelation comes four months after AP reported on the agency's ZunZuneo "Cuban Twitter" program. Like ZunZuneo, the program employed the Washington, DC-based private contractor Creative Associates International for operations. Analysts said these revelations indicate that the US is losing interest in the older generation of Cuban dissidents and is trying to develop opposition among younger Cubans.
Latin America: more nations recall Israel envoys
A total of five Latin American governments had recalled their ambassadors to Israel as of July 29 in an escalation of diplomatic protests against an operation the Israeli military had been carrying out in the Palestinian territory of Gaza since July 8. With the Palestinian death toll passing 1,500—including more than 300 children—centrist and even rightwing Latin American governments started joining left and center-left government in distancing themselves from the main US ally in the Middle East.

DOZENS of online tributes have been left for a worker who died a week after falling from a South Tyneside house.
The 23-year-old was working on a house in St Cuthbert's Avenue, Horsley Hill, South Shields, when he fell on Wednesday, February 19.
He was flown by air ambulance to Newcastle's Royal Victoria Infirmary (RVI) in what was described as a "serious" condition.
Police yesterday confirmed that he had died in hospital on Wednesday. The matter has been referred to the coroner.
Meanwhile scores of people have taken to the Gazette's website, Facebook and Twitter accounts to express their sadness.
Pransomhince said: "I have a 23 year old son and I love him more than life. I am so sorry for this young man and his family and I can only imagine the heartache they must be going through. I'm so sorry."
Humanzee wrote: "This is tragic, so young only 23 years old. Thoughts with the family and all who knew him. Rip."
On Twitter @mariawilkinson1 said: " I live in the street where he fell, it's so sad to hear he died so young it's tragic, condolences to his family."
While Nancy Taylor added: "So sad. So young. Our thoughts are with his family."
And Pauline Shepherd wrote: "Another young life gone far too soon."
The man, who has not yet been named, worked for Chester-le-Street-based Wensley Roofing, which had been subcontracted by the Gentoo Group to carry out improvements on behalf of South Tyneside Homes.
The incident is still being investigated by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
A spokeswoman for the (HSE) said: "Inspectors were on-site following the incident to carry out preliminary investigations.
"We can confirm we are still investigating the incident."

The re-scrutinised results of the 2011 G.C.E. Advanced Level Examination will be released by the Department of Examinations tonight, Education Minister Bandula Gunawardane said.
The Minister told the Daily Mirror that he instructed the Department to do so since the Supreme Court had delivered its ruling.
"We were ready with the results by May. Yet, the Attorney General asked us not to release them till the court ruling was announced. Now, the ruling has been given. Therefore, there is no reason for us to delay the results," he said.
Some 150,000 students applied for re-correction of results this time. (Kelum Bandara)

In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Pusha T was asked whether or not he felt Drake was taking a shot at him at the Made In America festival last week.
You performed the Made In America concert earlier this month. The second night, after you'd already done it, Drake says, "Now, that's how you bring out 2 Chainz!" Some saw it as a shot. I was just wondering what everyone else is wondering, which is, what is the appropriate way to bring out 2 Chainz?
At the end of the day – I guess just speaking on our behalf – we don't give a fuck what Drake says. Like, we don't care. In regards to us, that shit doesn't matter. Like, if you want to talk about the G.O.O.D. Music today and 2 Chainz, we had a mishap, because we have a record that is performed by four different people every night of the week and everybody has different edits of it. Ye's verse – where the beat switches up and it's really chant-y – gets edited out of a lot of people's sets. Just to keep the momentum of the song going and just keeping the show clean and concise. None of us was told, but Chainz wasn't told that Ye wasn't doing his portion of the record [at Made in America]. It was a mishap, man! I mean, fuck! People have mishaps. But I mean, Chainz is so fuckin' charismatic, he just walks out. I personally would've just rapped his fuckin' verse, because I heard it, but I didn't want to overstep my boundaries because fans didn't know he was there. So, you know, whatever. We talked about it in the back. Chainz wasn't bitter about it. He was just like, "I could've knocked it out. It could've been crazier had I been on time with it or had I known we were doing that edit." All of this shit is off the cuff, and all of us is all over the country, and we're just coming together to do the Made in America festival. It was a thing of paying homage to this new festival. It was a great experience, it was a great look, being a part of something that Ye obviously wanted us to be a part of. It wasn't a big production thing where we practiced this shit. Even I came out off-cue! I should've laid back a little bit, but we were rocking to it. That's what the fuck we do – we don't give a fuck. So, if that was the way you should've brought 2 Chainz out [laughs], then I'm glad Drake got to do it, and I'm glad that Chainz got the look, and I'm sure people were happy. Other than the shot thing, we don't give a fuck. We definitely ain't thinking about no shots.

Well, the bed is at home in the little neighbor girls' bedroom!
The move and assembly was not without a few glitches, but they were thwarted and we were victorious. The biggest problem came when I realized the floor was carpeted. It sure felt nice on the feet but made the alignment of some of the pieces a real pain.
The Dad helped get everything moved and was invaluable in setting up the pieces.
After the bed was in place, and the little girls slept in it, the bottom bunk occupant fell out in the middle of the night. That prompted making two additional safety rails. And, for reasons I still can't figure out, the bottom stair step did not fit to my liking. A new step is ready to be installed and should be in place tomorrow. The Dad wanted to install the drawer fronts and has the step drawers finished. He will complete the larger drawers this weekend.
So here's the finished product. Cell phone photos, sorry-
Thanks for riding along. If anyone wants the Sketchup files, let me know!

US: Putin trip to Crimea 'provocative' and 'unnecessary'
The Obama administration has attacked Vladimir Putin over his visit to Crimea today, calling the move "provocative and unnecessary".
The Russian President visited the peninsula, annexed from Ukraine in March, to mark the anniversary of the Soviet Union's victory over Nazi Germany.
US State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki issued a strong condemnation of the visit, saying:
"This trip is provocative and unnecessary. Crimea belongs to Ukraine and we don't recognize, of course, the illegal and illegitimate steps by Russia in that regard,"

Andrew Solmssen | April 26, 2012 | Comments
There's a real opportunity for developers to stand out from the crowd and get recognized with a breakthrough app on Windows Phone 7.
Malcolm Gladwell brought the concept of the "tipping point" into the mainstream with his 2002 book of the same name. Among his many brilliant examples was that of the fax machine and its slow (and then very fast) rise in popularity.
When there wasn't anyone to fax to, very few people bought fax machines, and the numbers grew at a crawl as potential buyers shied away from making the investment. But once the technology hit a critical mass, instantly a fax machine was a mandatory item for business and personal communications - if you were serious about reaching your customers, you had to be in that market. Two decades later, we're still trying to figure out which new technologies to bet on, which warrant wait-and-see, and which are the bombs to avoid completely.
Microsoft's Windows Mobile spent a pretty astonishing 10 years in that highly undesirable third category. Bad hardware + worse software = a terrible product. Among marketers and digital professionals, there was a sure way to identify Microsoft staff members - they were the only ones carrying a Windows Phone.
But all that changed in late 2010 when Windows Phone 7 was released. For the first time, it wasn't cobbled together, underpowered, or behind the times. It was…kind of awesome. It wasn't a "me too" product that copied the successful iPhone (a fair criticism of Google's Android, the other big competitor). Microsoft's "Metro" UI, also on the Xbox and coming soon to the desktop with Windows 8, makes the screen look and feel modern. "Live Tiles" brings a snacking level of data forward, providing huge value from a quick glance at the home screen.
Microsoft has been picky about its hardware partners and has made sure that the new software doesn't end up in flimsy plastic housings. In fact, it's done Android one better by providing a variety of form factors while ensuring there are no duds. The new Nokia Lumia 900 has made it even more compelling.
Windows Phone 7 is just a great phone - take my word for it. Actually, according to the sales data, the vast majority of the people reading this will have to take my word for it, because hardly anyone is actually using these great devices. At this point, no one's arguing that it's a bad phone - good luck trying to find a negative review on it, even from Apple and Android fanboys. Industry experts see strong growth for the platform; some actually predict it will pull even with the iPhone by 2014.
The number of Windows Phones sold varies widely, depending on who you believe, from as low as 3.5 million to as high as 11 million.
But however you measure it, Windows Phone 7 is currently in that precarious "tipping point" position: when will marketers and consumers decide it should become a mainstream platform?
It's pretty well established that the main thing holding Phone 7 back is apps - or lack thereof. Today, the Windows Phone Marketplace has over 70,000 apps, which is certainly more than you'd ever need (most people have about 18, on average), but a quick look through the Windows Phone Marketplace reveals that a surprising number of them are of the "scantily-clothed model" sort. This kind of app is tonnage - simple and not particularly engaging.
While these eye-candy apps are expected to be absent from the chaste Apple App Store, they're not even near the top at Google Play, the Android app store. That signals to me that when there are more interesting options users will choose something other than lowest-common-denominator content like "HD Babes Premium."
Here's hoping that Microsoft itself will continue to develop and improve its own apps. For instance, some amazing new features for Skype could roll out to Phone 7 first and give those users something to crow about. Microsoft Office could continue to evolve and be seamless on Phone 7, providing a compelling set of tools for business users. Some initial demos like the one below show how Microsoft's phone can integrate with Xbox Kinect to provide a value add for customers. Every Windows Phone should come with these apps pre-installed; it would be a great way to create market share.
You've got to give Microsoft credit: it's not just waiting around for apps to grow organically from third parties. It's doing its best to jump on the scale and get things tipping its way as fast as possible. For example, The New York Times recently reported that Microsoft is paying developers to put apps in the Windows Marketplace, and it's a smart move.
So far, the money is going toward the tent-pole apps - the Zyngas, Rovios, and PopCaps of the world. These are the companies that produce most of those 18 apps that the average person has on their smartphone; and you can be sure that by the end of 2012, Microsoft too will have all of the most popular apps.
Smaller developers aren't getting this kind of velvet rope treatment - at best, Microsoft is using swag and free phones to keep them in the game. But, if they hit it big with an app, you can bet they'll get Microsoft's interest, and fast.
In fact, until we have a breakthrough app on Phone 7, users won't have compelling reasons to switch. There's a real opportunity here for developers to stand out from the crowd and get recognized. Getting featured in the iTunes Store is getting tougher and tougher - yes, there are more end-users, but there's also much fiercer competition - but an inventive Microsoft Phone app could get real uptake from grateful users.
As a marketer, I'm incredibly excited for Phone 7 to catch on, since it's shaping up to be the most advertiser-friendly of the big three smartphone platforms. But until we hit the tipping point, that's a column for the future.

Part 3 concludes Blockhead's first movie, Time Squad, as the heroes finally catch up with the Scientist in his fortress at the End of Time.
I really hope you guys enjoy my little movie attempt. It took several months of working single-handedly to get it done, and I'm thankful for all the great reviews of Parts 1 & 2!
IMPORTANT! - This cartoon was originally 19 minutes long, but due to Flash constraints I was forced to split it in half. Part 3 contains all the resolution, Part 2 all the action, so remember that they were originally meant as a single upload.
Edit: Once again, you've made my day, Tom. Thanks for squeezing me into the front page!
blockhead saved us.this was a very good series indeed.
blockhead is awesome sign is dino now or blockhead will beat up your base base all your base
That was beautiful.
great graphics, great plot, great everything.
i knew blockhead would win completely by accident and then it just goes on and on
do you guys noticed that the characters dont have proper names except for block head but over all it was epic and AAWWEESSOOMMEE!!!!!

This climb obviously doesn't get climbed much because it was still a bit dirty when I did it. It's also very technical, being nearly dead vertical the whole time and staying on small holds. Therefore, the difficulty is sustained and the clips not easy. I found this difficult for 7+, but it's also not my style.

Geneva Protocol, official name Protocol for the Pacific Settlement of International Disputes, (1924) League of Nations draft treaty to ensure collective security in Europe. Submitted by Edvard Beneš, the protocol proposed sanctions against an aggressor nation and provided a mechanism for the peaceful settlement of disputes. States would agree to submit all disputes to the Permanent Court of International Justice, and any state refusing arbitration was to be deemed the aggressor. The French enthusiastically supported the protocol, but it failed after it was rejected by the British.

Since he has been featured on Total Divas this season, interest in Jonathan Coyle, the husband of WWE star Eva Marie, has grown exponentially.

My girls asked why he didn't check on us like everyone else and I explained simply there isn't a camera at our mailbox or in the house when we receive our calls.

"I really look up to Stephanie McMahon. She is a role model. We went to a school with underprivileged children and she spent four hours talking to all the kids. She is honestly one of the most down to earth people I have ever met. With her background and status, she has a lot of influence and power but she proves that you can never allow fame, money or your position in life to get the best of you.

She has a husband, family and does a great job balancing it all." - Natalya Neidhart revealing why she admires Stephanie McMahon

WWE decisions are sometimes garbage, according to Batista. During a recent podcast interview with Chris Jericho, the former world heavyweight champion stated that he was disgusted by how the creative department utilized Daniel Bryan after he was put over at Wrestlemania 30. Batista felt that Bryan should have been allowed to sell the injuries from the previous night because it would have added to his lovable underdog character.
August 31, 2014
Rumors are floating around that Jake Roberts is in a coma. A large reason for that is because his lawyer mentioned that he was in a "coma like state", and people misconstrued that for the WWE legend being in an actual coma. Kizarny also took to Facebook to further explain the situation. He stated that Roberts is heavily sedated because the procedure to combat pneumonia is pretty painful. Kizarny also reiterated that Roberts was not in a coma.
August 31, 2014
As a few people are already aware, Hulk Hogan has been generating some hype recently by teasing fans that he wants to make a return to the WWE ring for one final match. The former world heavyweight champion has teased that he wants to work against John Cena. Well, some fuel has been added to that fire, as Cena himself is now starting to tease the match as well. The belief is that the two of them are simply promoting the upcoming Wrestlemania 31 pay per view.
August 30, 2014
Not a whole lot of fans are aware of this, but Naomi Knight has been missing in action for WWE for a couple of weeks now.

August 30, 2014
Reports surfaced not too long ago that Bully Ray was leaving TNA, as his contract was set to expire and a new deal could not be reached between the two sides. Apparently, he is going to remain on good terms with management, as the former world heavyweight champion is still being advertised for Bound For Glory 2014. Team 3D is scheduled to be inducted into the hall of fame that evening, but it would not come as a shock if Bully ended up working a match on the pay per view.
August 30, 2014
We have ourselves another sign that Batista might be putting WWE in his rear view mirror. During a podcast interview with Chris Jericho, the former world heavyweight champion openly bashed the method in which the company handled his return.

August 29, 2014
During a recent interview with Alternative Nation, Hornswoggle was asked about his backstage heat with the Rock. The WWE star revealed some details about an incident that took place when the Rock was revealed as the special guest host of Wrestlemania 27. Hornswoggle stated that the Rock confused him for a Make a Wish kid. Rock apparently tapped him on the shoulders and asked if he had a good time at the show.
August 29, 2014
In a sign of just how popular and mainstream Jake Roberts was during the 1980s, several media outlets provided coverage of the WWE legend being sent to the hospital this week. TMZ does a good job of covering wrestling, so they were on the ball with the Roberts story. Huffington Post and USA Today, which does not feature much about the industry, even covered the story.
August 29, 2014
Some very bad news for Jake Roberts right now. The WWE legend was flying to Las Vegas for an event, but he passed out while on the plane. Roberts was immediately taken to the hospital, where he remains in critical condition. Reports are saying that he has yet to regain consciousness. Some are saying that Roberts has double pneumonia. His lungs are said to be filled with fluid, and there may be something wrong with his brain as well.
August 28, 2014
There's been another casualty in WWE, thanks to the company losing millions of dollars this year. Tough Enough has been taken off of life support and has now been officially scrapped. Management was hoping to do another season of the show, and they were still trying to get Steve Austin to jump back on board. However, after severely reducing the available budget for Tough Enough, officials decided that it would not work out with the limited amount of funding.
August 28, 2014
It looks like Daniel Bryan will not be joining WWE in Europe after all. The company has decided to pull advertisement featuring the former world heavyweight champion from upcoming live events in Europe. Initially, management wanted him to make appearances on those shows in order to draw in more of an audience. However, they have changed their minds and are allowing Bryan to remain at home and focus on recover.
August 28, 2014
TNA has a couple of live events coming up in a few days, and their world heavyweight champion will not be around.

His opponent is Josh Burns, who currently has an 8-7 record.
August 28, 2014
When word broke that Ryback was injured, there were some reports of skepticism from WWE officials that there really was no injury. However, the legitimacy of his health has been proven, as Ryback has posted a video of himself in the hospital. He clearly did go under the knife. It is being said that Ryback has worked with strained groins and hernias for the last year.
August 28, 2014
Considering the amount of pain that he withstood for the sake of entertaining fans over the years, it is a bit surprising that Mick Foley did not spend more time on the sidelines. He has retired from WWE now, but an injury is preventing him from working. Back issues have prompted the former world heavyweight champion to cancel an upcoming appearance in Denver. No word yet on whether or not it will be rescheduled.
August 27, 2014
The value of the WWE audience has taken yet another hit. There is already a good amount of advertisers who are avoiding the company because they do not feel that the demographics is desirable. Reports are now surfacing that Marvel purposely declined to advertise their Guardians of the Galaxy movie to the WWE audience, even though Batista could have drawn in some of the fans to the film. Since the studio was not interested, WWE opted to avoid promoting the movie, even though it could have benefited them internally.
August 27, 2014
There was a little bit of a buzz earlier in the week when Ryback posted a message about taking time off from WWE. It escalated a bit further when he deleted the comment from Twitter, which is something that he has done several times in the past. It has now been confirmed that he suffered some sort of injury and will be needing a few weeks off of the road to recover.
August 27, 2014
With so much speculation in the air on his condition, it looks like Daniel Bryan will be making a return to WWE in November. Unfortunately, though, he will not be wrestling when he does come back. Management has advertised Bryan to be at the live events that the company is hosting in Europe later on this year. The feeling is that WWE needs all the star power that they can get to draw in the audience.
August 26, 2014
Life after professional wrestling continues to be great for Steve Austin. He recently revealed that the studios have renewed Redneck Island for a fourth season and have decided to give the Broken Skull Challenge a second one. These deals give him a bit of leverage in negotiations with WWE, who still want him to return for another season of Tough Enough.
August 26, 2014
For those that do not keep up with him outside of WWE, Paul Heyman actually has a ton of things going on in his professional life. In fact, things have picked up so much that he has now moved to Los Angeles to be closer to his business ventures. It has now been revealed that he is renting a house out there. Heyman should still be able to continue working with WWE.
