Queens University of Charlotte's MFA Creative Writing Program pulled off its own hat trick at the 2013 Santa Fe Writer's Project (SFWP) Literary Awards, claiming the top prize and both runner-up prizes.
MFA graduate April L. Ford took the grand prize for her short story collection, The Poor Children. MFA graduate Stephen Eoannou scored a runner-up prize for his story collection, Muscle Cars, while MFA faculty member Daniel Mueller grabbed the other runner-up prize for Nights I Dreamed of Hubert Humphrey, a collection of fiction. The SFWP is a prestigious organization established in 1998 to foster the art of writing. This year's awards winners were chosen from a field of more than 300 writers. Many of the past winners have gone on to achieve great success in the literary world.
Queens' MFA program offers established and emerging writers the opportunity to improve their craft through an intensive online and in-residence program that puts them in touch with other writers and superbly talented faculty. Writers may choose to study fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction or writing for stage and screen. The program is four semesters long and requires a seven day in-residence session twice a year.

Residency for Military/Spouses/Dependents
An individual on active duty in the Armed Forces currently stationed in Louisiana may be classified as a Temporary Resident upon submission of documentation signed by the unit commander verifying his or her being on active duty and stationed in Louisiana. This classification of Temporary Resident is valid as long as the student remains enrolled and on active duty in Louisiana.
A member of the Armed Forces (including Louisiana National Guard and Reserves) currently stationed in Louisiana on active duty may enroll as a Temporary Resident, including his or her spouse, minor child, or dependent student. A member of the Armed Forces who was eligible for classification as a resident of Louisiana under these regulations immediately prior to entering the Armed Forces retains the right to enroll himself or herself, spouse, and minor child or dependent student as a resident as long as he or she is in the Forces, but the right shall expire upon the person's being separated from the Armed Forces and residing continuously for a period of at least two years in another state or foreign country.
When a member of the military, who has a spouse, minor child, or dependent student enrolled as a Temporary Resident, is transferred out of the state, the student may continue to attend under this classification as long as the enrollment is continuous, excluding summers. Students classified as Temporary Resident must show proof of his/her or his/her parent's or spouse's military status at each registration period while enrolled and classified as a Temporary Resident.
Louisiana residents and their dependents, who are on active military duty stationed outside of Louisiana as a direct result of their military service, shall be determined to have Temporary Resident student status in Louisiana. Further, former active military personnel and their dependents shall maintain Temporary Resident student status for a period of one calendar year after official separation from military service. After the one year period expires, determination of resident student status for former active military personnel and their dependents shall be governed by the residency guidelines relating to non-military personnel.
Non-Louisiana Residency Reclassification Applications, which outline the required supporting documentation, are available in the Office of Admissions and on the Delgado web site. The application along with all supporting documentation must be submitted to the Office of Admissions for new students or to the Office of the Registrar for readmit and continuing students within 21 days after the first day of classes. Appeals of denial for reclassification as non-residents must be submitted to the Admissions Review Committee at the student's home campus.


text: Easy Affiliate Marketing. The simplest way to get fabulous money from the internet is from the affiliate program. Believe it or not, you don't even need you own product to get money online. Affiliate program comprises of a website, blog or article that brings in traffic to the advertisers website. Once an advertiser grabs a deal through an affiliate program, the affiliate gets paid for this, as a commission. Sometimes the commission can reach up to 50% to 75% from the original price. If the original price is $ 200 and the commission is 50%, you will simply get $ 100 without having headache thinking about shipping and customer service as the manufacturer does all that. Simply say if you can bring a buyer to the advertisers' website you will get your paychecks. Amazing isn't?? How to become an affiliate??? How can i generate income from an affiliate program?? Maybe these questions bother you to become an affiliate, don't worry i will show you the ways. To become an affiliate, you can easily sign up for Clickbank as an affiliate.

You also can find product to promote as affiliate at e Bay and Amazon. Some individual and companies also have affiliate programs, but you may want to be very careful in selecting some of them because they may not have reliable payouts. Ok before we start our affiliate campaign we need a few important tools. Don't worry I will explain it as simple as I can. 1. Blog From your blog you can get as much as traffic you can. The rule is simple high traffic = high click and high click mean you can get more commission from your affiliate program. 2. Squeeze Page or Opt-in Page.

In the forum you can share information and get a lot of tips from others. Be a good participant and it will help you to become a super affiliate. For more killer tips you can click here

ASP.NET Data Access Overview
Web applications commonly access data sources for storage and retrieval of dynamic data. You can write code to access data using classes from the System.Data namespace (commonly referred to as ADO.NET) and from the System.Xml namespace. This approach was common in previous versions of ASP.NET.
However, ASP.NET also enables you to perform data binding declaratively. This requires no code at all for the most common data scenarios, including:
Selecting and displaying data.
Sorting, paging, and caching data.
Updating, inserting, and deleting data.
Filtering data using run-time parameters.
Creating master-detail scenarios using parameters.
ASP.NET includes several types of server controls that participate in the declarative data binding model, including data source controls, data-bound controls, and the query extender control. These controls manage the underlying tasks that are required by the stateless Web model in order to display and update data in ASP.NET Web pages. The controls let you add data-binding behavior to a page without having to understand details of the page request life cycle.
Data source controls are ASP.NET controls that manage the tasks of connecting to a data source and reading and writing data. Data source controls do not render any user interface, but instead act as an intermediary between a particular data store (such as a database, business object, or XML file) and other controls on the ASP.NET Web page. Data source controls enable rich capabilities for retrieving and modifying data, including querying, sorting, paging, filtering, updating, deleting, and inserting. Data source controls derive from ContextDataSource, which is the base class that provides the context type that data source controls use. This base class enables you to create data source controls that support data models such as Entity Framework and WCF Data Services.
ASP.NET includes the following data source controls:
Data source control
Enables you to work with a Microsoft Access database.
For more information, see AccessDataSource Web Server Control Overview.
Enables you to use Language-Integrated Query (LINQ) in an ASP.NET Web page through declarative markup in order to retrieve and modify data from a data object. Supports automatic generation of select, update, insert, and delete commands. The control also supports sorting, filtering, and paging.
Enables you to work with a business object or other class and create Web applications that rely on middle-tier objects to manage data.
For more information, see ObjectDataSource Web Server Control Overview.
Used with ASP.NET site navigation. For more information, see ASP.NET Site Navigation.
Enables you to work with ADO.NET managed data providers, which provide access to Microsoft SQL Server, OLE DB, ODBC, or Oracle databases.
For more information, see SqlDataSource Web Server Control Overview.
Enables you to bind to data that is based on the Entity Data Model (EDM). Supports automatic generation of update, insert, delete, and select commands. The control also supports sorting, filtering and paging.
For more information, see EntityDataSource Web Server Control Overview.
Enables you to work with an XML file, which is especially useful for hierarchical ASP.NET server controls such as the TreeView or Menu control.
For more information, see XmlDataSource Web Server Control Overview.
Data-source controls can also be extended to support additional data access storage providers.
For more information on data source controls, see Data Source Controls Overview.
Filtering data in a data-driven Web site typically requires that you create a Where clause in the query that is associated with the data source control. This method of filtering data can be difficult, and in some cases it does not expose the full functionality of the underlying data source. In order to make it easier to filter data in a page, ASP.NET provides the QueryExtender control.
You can use the QueryExtender control to do the following:
Provide string-search capabilities in a Web page.
Define a range of values to search.
Compare a specified value to a property value in a table.
Provide sorting capabilities for the filtered data.
Define custom filtering.
Using the QueryExtender control for filtering data is more efficient than using a Where clause because you do not have to learn the query language for the data provider that is used by the query extender control.
The EntityDataSource and LinqDataSource controls support the QueryExtender control.
For more information, see QueryExtender Web Server Control Overview.
Data-bound controls render data as markup to the requesting browser. A data-bound control can bind to a data source control and automatically fetch data at the appropriate time in the page request lifecycle. Data-bound controls can take advantage of the capabilities provided by a data source control including sorting, paging, caching, filtering, updating, deleting, and inserting. A data-bound control connects to a data source control through its DataSourceID property.
ASP.NET includes the data-bound controls described in the following table.
The DataGrid control available in ASP.NET version 1.0 and version 1.1 has been superseded by the GridView control, which includes expanded capabilities for sorting, paging, and modifying data. Existing pages that use the DataGrid control will continue to function. As with other data controls, the DataGrid control has been enhanced to interact with data source controls.
The ListView control supersedes the Repeater control and the DataList control. Existing pages that use those controls will continue to function. The ListView control simplifies the implementation of many common scenarios.
For more information, see ASP.NET Data-Bound Web Server Controls Overview.
Language-Integrated Query (LINQ) provides a unified programming model for querying and updating data from different types of data sources, and extends data capabilities directly into the C# and Visual Basic languages. LINQ applies the principles of object-oriented programming to relational data. To work with LINQ, you can use the LinqDataSource control. You can also create LINQ queries directly in order to access data from a Web page. For more information, see Using LINQ with ASP.NET.
ASP.NET Dynamic Data is a framework that enables you to create data-driven ASP.NET Web applications quickly. Dynamic Data automatically discovers the data model at run time and determines UI behavior from the data model. A scaffolding framework instantly provides a functional Web site for displaying and editing data. This scaffolding can then be customized using metadata, templates, or by creating standard ASP.NET pages to override the default behavior. Existing ASP.NET Web applications can easily integrate pieces of the scaffolding logic into their web pages. For more information about Dynamic Data, see ASP.NET Dynamic Data Content Map
You can add Dynamic Data features to an ASP.NET Web Application without using scaffolding. When Dynamic Data is enabled in an ASP.NET Web application, the Web application can take advantage of the following features:
Run-time data field validation.
The ability to use in-memory page templates.
The ability to apply custom metadata to various data fields by using attributes from the System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations namespace.
For more information, see Walkthrough: Enabling Dynamic Data in ASP.NET Data-Bound Controls.

CHATTANOOGA,TN (WRCB) A man convicted twice in the "Signal Mountain Murders" will not get another trial.
The Tennessee Court of Appeals upheld the conviction of Frank Casteel.
He shot and killed three ATV riders on his property in 1988.
The bodies of Ken Griffith, Richard Mason and Earl Smock were found in Marion County.
Casteel's attorneys say several mistakes were made at the last trial, but a judge said the defense failed to prove it in the filing.

DUIs have become more prevalent in the NFL and the PFT guys discuss the necessary steps the League needs to take to prevent these senseless crimes from occurring.This video is no longer available. Click here to watch more NBC Sports videos!
ProFootballTalk: How should DUIs be dealt with?
Washington Post stops using Washington team name
It's not easy to cover an NFL team without ever mentioning its nickname. But that's precisely what the Washington Post will do, from this point forward.
The Post has announced that it will stop using the team's name, most of the time.
"While we wait for the NFL to catch up with public opinion and common decency we have decided not to use the slur ourselves except when it is essential for clarity or effect," the newspaper said.
While it's unclear why or how the Post would need to use the name for clarity or effect, it's smart to leave a loophole, since the newspaper is in, you know, Washington.
The Washington NFL team, through spokesman Tony Wyllie, called the move "no surprise."
"The editorial board has been opposed to the Washington Redskins name for more than 30 years," Wyllie said, inadvertently gutting one of the knee-jerk argument from the name truthers, who insist that opposition has arisen only recently. "We just wish they would have had taken us up on our offer to visit several reservations to see how much Native Americans embrace and value the name and use it as their own logo and mascots across this country."
That position ignores the reality that the National Congress of American Indians actively opposes the name. Which is no surprise, since the franchise generally continues to ignore the fact that the NCAI actively opposes the name. If the franchise had simply ignored the debate in 2013 instead of attempting to engage or debunk it, the franchise probably wouldn't be dealing with an issue that has now grown to the point where the biggest newspaper in the team's market now refuses to use the name.
Brandon Graham: I may not be a good fit, but I can get to the QB
Brandon Graham was the Eagles' first-round pick under a different regime in 2010, but he has never looked like the right fit in the 3-4 defense preferred by head coach Chip Kelly and defensive coordinator Bill Davis. Graham understands that, but he also understands this: There's always room on an NFL roster for a guy who can get to the quarterback.
So Graham, who got his second sack of the preseason on Thursday night, feels confident that he'll play and play well for the Eagles this season. And if the Eagles cut him, Graham thinks he'll play well for someone else.
"It's just a tricky situation," Graham said, via CSNPhilly.com. "Hopefully, I'm here. If not, hopefully I can show somebody else that I can definitely get the job done, and that's all I'm trying to do. I know I'm not the ideal size and I don't play as good in space as I would like. I'm getting better at it, but it's just one of those things where I know I can go get that quarterback, and I know I can play the run good. It's just in space, I'm trying to get a lot better at that."
Graham said he hopes the Eagles' coaches will keep him on the roster because he believes the Eagles are ready for big things this year.
"I come in, practice every day, work hard and I just try to put it on film to show them that I can help this team win," Graham said. "I'm just trying to secure a spot because I know how great we can be. I know I can get better, and that's the thing. Man, if I'm here, I know I'm going to get better each week, because my attitude and focus is all about the team. I know we can take it to the next level, and I want to be here to see us win the championship. I want to be a part of it."
If Graham isn't a part of it in Philadelphia, he'll catch on somewhere. Perhaps on a team with a defense that's a better fit for his skills.
Jim Harbaugh: "Very good chance" Glenn Dorsey returns this season
Immediately after defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey had biceps surgery, the 49ers were unsure whether or not he'd miss the entire season.
It's been a few weeks since the operation and the team is optimistic that they haven't seen the last of Dorsey in 2014. Matt Maiocco of CSNBayArea.com reports that coach Jim Harbaugh said Friday that there is a "very good chance" that Dorsey is able to return to the team before the end of the year.
Harbaugh pegged the timetable for Dorsey's return at three-and-a-half months, which would keep him out of the lineup until the final weeks of the regular season. If the 49ers season unfolds the way the last few have, the team should be in the hunt for the playoffs and/or the NFC West at that point and a healthy return would likely be welcomed given the way injuries can pile up over the course of the season.
If that time frame is accurate, the 49ers will have to either keep Dorsey on the roster as an inactive player or place him on injured reserve with the designation to return after at least eight weeks out of the lineup.
Stephenson blames suspension on unspecified prescription medication
The NFL's performance-enhancing drug policy continues to ensnare anyone but cheaters.
The latest player to be suspended, Chiefs tackle Donald Stephenson, has become the latest to offer up an excuse unrelated to the intentional ingestion of a substance aimed at enhancing performance.
"I'm extremely sorry that I failed to check with the NFL, NFLPA, or Chiefs medical team before I took a medication that requires a therapeutic use exemption," Stephenson said in a statement issued by the NFLPA. "The rules are strict, and without at TUE, the consequence is a four game suspension. I apologize to the Hunt family, John Dorsey, Coach Reid and his staff, my teammates, and our awesome Chiefs fans. It is not a mistake I will ever make again. I will train extremely hard during my time away from the team, and I will be ready to contribute to my teams effort to win a Super Bowl as soon as I return."
Stephenson doesn't say that he had a prescription for the medication that he took. He also doesn't specify whether the medication is a stimulant or something that would help build muscle mass or speed recovery from injury.
For the Chiefs, it doesn't matter. For the second straight Friday, they've lost an offensive starter to a suspension. (Last week, it was receiver Dwayne Bowe for one game under the substance-abuse policy.) They'll also be required, by league policy, to pay a share of Stephenson's lost salary to the league in the form of a fine, since he becomes the second Chiefs player to be suspended this year.
Dolphins cut bait on draft bust Michael Egnew
Whenever a General Manager gets fired, his pet projects are living on borrowed time.
So when 2012 third-rounder Michael Egnew failed to progress, he was an easy mark for the Dolphins now that Jeff Ireland is gone.
According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Dolphins are waiving Egnew today.
Criticism of Egnew was common during Hard Knocks in his rookie season, and with the guy who picked him no longer in charge, it became easier to admit a draft mistake.
He caught seven passes for 69 yards last year, after appearing in just two games as a rookie.
Jimmy Graham fined $30,000 for dunks over crossbar
Saints tight end Jimmy Graham said that he's done dunking balls over the crossbar, which will save his team penalty yards and save him money.
PFT has confirmed that Graham has been fined $30,000 for a pair of dunks following touchdowns during last week's preseason game against the Titans. That's a lot of money to spend for celebrating a touchdown even if Graham had been labeled a wide receiver during his franchise tag grievance earlier this offseason.
In addition to the fine, those dunks led to 15-yard penalties that prompted Saints coach Sean Payton to say he was "very upset" with Graham after the game. Ultimately, Graham, who predicted he'd lead the league in penalties after the rule was changed, promise not to do it anymore.
Should Graham go back on his word, the fines will go up now that he's racked up a pair of offenses. Given how avoidable and damaging these penalties are, Payton might have to use stronger words than "very upset" to describe his feelings about Graham.
AFL continues its rock-star affiliation
Maybe Bon Jovi should have stuck with the AFL.
As the Arena Football League tries to become a rock-star outfit, more and more outfits are becoming owned by rock stars.
Last year, Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons of KISS purchased an expansion franchise in L.A. This year, Vince Neil of Motley Crüe will own a new team that will be placed in Las Vegas. The team will be known as the Outlaws.
"The opportunity came up to bring a franchise to Las Vegas and that's where I'm from," Neil said in a press release. "Every guy wants to be an 'outlaw', so why not give them the Outlaws?"
Two other AFL franchises have played in Las Vegas, including the Gladiators, which moved from New Jersey before moving to Cleveland before qualifying for this year's Arena Bowl.
Chiefs tackle Donald Stephenson suspended four games for PEDs
The Chiefs were already worried about rebuilding an offensive line, now they're minus a big part of what was left.
The league announced that right tackle Donald Stephenson was suspended the first four games of the season for violating the performance enhancing substances policy.
"Obviously losing Donald is disappointing, but we are in full compliance with the league's policy," the Chiefs said in a statement, via Terez Paylor of the Kansas City Star.
Stephenson issued a statement through his agent citing the now-common line that he took a medication without a "therapeutic use exemption," which is the new version of the Adderall defense.
Coupled with the losses in free agency of Branden Albert, Geoff Schwartz and Jon Asamoah, and the uneven play of 2013 No. 1 overall pick Eric Fisher, the Chiefs didn't need one more problem on the line.
But now they've got a big one, for the first quarter of the season.
Report: Some Jets coaches disappointed Vick wasn't more hell-bent on winning starting job
Jets quarterback Michael Vick said that there's pressure on Geno Smith to win and win now because there's "really no patience" for quarterbacks in the NFL these days.
Although the Jets haven't officially named Smith their starter to open the regular season, Vick makes it clear that's where things are heading. It's something he's done all offseason, even as some members of the Jets staff and brass have insisted that there's a more spirited competition than anyone has actually seen unfold. Vick's said all the right things about Smith and his own backup role, so it would seem that all's well with the team's plan to have the veteran ready and waiting if Smith can't handle the job.
That may not be the case, though. Jenny Vrentas of MMQB.com reports that some Jets coaches "have privately expressed disappointment that Vick didn't show up more hell-bent on winning the starting job." One would have to guess that those coaches weren't the same ones involved with making decisions about the quarterbacks since that has always felt more like it was Smith's job to lose than Vick's to win.
"The last five years I spent in Philly, I had some great years and played in some great games and went through a lot. Now it's an opportunity for me to refresh myself and take a step back away from the game. I'm kind of relishing the moment that I'm in right now," Vick said. "I am not required to have to do a lot. Preserving my body right now is very important to me, and making sure I can make a strong push late in my career in case I am needed."
There's some resignation in his words, but would it really be better for the Jets if Vick was causing problems about not being the starter? He's said multiple times that he still wants to start and his willingness to accept being Smith's backup likely had something to do with the likelihood that he'll be called on at some point this season and the way the Jets presented the situation to him. If there's a problem with that answer, someone with the Jets should have asked different questions earlier in the process.
Report: Delano Howell's neck injury isn't career ending
Colts General Manager Ryan Grigson didn't sound too many optimistic notes about safety Delano Howell's neck injury earlier this week when he said that Howell would need to form an "opinion with his wife and his agent" about next steps.
Whatever those conversations might be, it doesn't sound like they'll involve bringing an end to his career. Mike Wells of ESPN.com reports that the injury is not going to force him to stop playing football.
Howell met with doctors this week to discuss the best course of action and, per Wells, the Colts are expected to speak with them on Friday about where things go from here. At that point the timetable for a return to the field will presumably start to take shape.
The injury knocks Howell out his presumed spot alongside LaRon Landry in the Colts defense. Mike Adams is the next man up in that spot.
Geno Atkins to make preseason debut on Sunday night
One of the NFL most disruptive defensive tackles will reportedly return to the playing field on Sunday night.
Bengals lineman Geno Atkins, who hasn't appeared in a game since suffering an ACL tear on October 31, is slated to play in Cincinnati's exhibition at Arizona, coach Marvin Lewis said Friday, according to Paul Dehner Jr. of the Cincinnati Enquirer.
"He's had a great couple weeks of practice. He looks like Geno. I've been impressed," Lewis said Friday, according to the Enquirer.
The 26-year-old Atkins has recorded 29 sacks in four NFL seasons, including a career-best 12.5 in 2012. The Bengals signed him to a five-year, $55 million contract last September.
Sunday's Bengals-Cardinals game will air at 8 p.m. Eastern on NBC's Sunday Night Football.
Bishop Sankey: I don't plan on fumbling being a problem
Titans rookie running back Bishop Sankey has a shot to move ahead of veteran Shonn Greene into the top spot on the depth chart this summer as Greene dealt with knee problems, but he is at risk of fumbling it away.
Sankey has fumbled in each of the first two preseason games and displayed problems holding onto the ball in practice as well. Coach Ken Whisenhunt said Sankey needs to show more attention to details like footwork and exchanges with the quarterback because they are the root cause of the fumbles. Sankey appears to have taken the coach's words to heart.
"You definitely can't put the ball on the ground. I want to do everything right assignment-wise, execution-wise. That's really my main focus each and every game, to help the team win," Sankey said, via 247Sports.com. "It seems like a small detail, but it's something you've got to do right each and every time. It wasn't an issue for me in college, and I don't plan on it being an issue for me now."
It's hard to think of a running back who made a fumbling problem part of their plan for an upcoming season, but, as Sankey pointed out, holding onto the ball wasn't an issue for him at Washington. That doesn't mean the demands of the professional game won't be and Sankey's expected rise to a prominent offensive role will take some time if the little things continue to trip him up.
Snoop Dogg wants Steelers to fire Todd Haley
Snoop Dogg has become over the years the ultimate football frontrunner, gliding onto the bandwagon of any team that achieves any real success. He's apparently anxious to get back on the black and gold party bus.
But he thinks the team needs a little help first.
"Man, the Pittsburgh Steelers need a new f–king offensive coordinator," Snoop Dogg says in a video posted online. "This guy sucks. Coach Tomlin, this is Snoop Dogg, man. Fire that mutherf–ker and get us a real offensive coordinator. We ain't won a playoff game since we had that mutherf–ker. Sh-t."
Snoop Dogg is talking about Todd Haley. And Snoop's facts are a little off. The Steelers haven't even been to the playoffs since Haley arrived.
In an Instagram post accompanying the video, he asks, "Bruce Arians where r u?" Actually, Arians is coaching one of the other teams for whom Snoop Dogg has shown support in the past.
Last year, it seemed that Haley would become the scapegoat for the Steelers' struggles. Instead, the team changed offensive line coaches.
For now, it's way too early to panic. The offense has been improving under Haley, and there's reason to believe it will be even better this year. Besides, it's still the preseason, and last night's game was marred by the misadventures of a couple of guys who engaged in an activity that fits far more neatly into Snoop's wheelhouse.
Doug Martin to be Tampa's "bell cow" after injuries to Sims, James
Over the course of the offseason, Buccaneers coach Lovie Smith and offensive coordinator Jeff Tedford each said that the team wanted to use a variety of running backs this season in order to keep Doug Martin fresh and healthy after his 2013 season came to an early end with a shoulder injury.
As the old saying goes, though, man plans and the injury rate for running backs in the NFL laughs. The Bucs have lost rookie Charles Sims for much of the season to an ankle injury and Mike James is sidelined by a shoulder injury, cutting what was once a deep backfield down to Martin and Bobby Rainey. According to Smith, the result will be a familiar role for Martin.
"With Mike James going down with an injury and with Charles going down, [Martin and Rainey] need to play at a certain level," Smith said, via the Associated Press. "They're both good players, but Doug is our bell cow. He likes that role. He's had a good camp, hasn't missed a beat."
If that's going to work out, the Bucs are going to need to sort out their issues at guard sooner rather than later because there's only so many times you can send a back into a swarm of defenders before he doesn't get back up.
PFT Live: Packers talk with Tyler Dunne, PFT Planet calls and tweets
The Packers will welcome back an old friend on Friday night when Charles Woodson and the Raiders come calling for a preseason matchup.
We could all probably predict a warm reception for a player who had his best years in a Packers uniform, but for more insight into what's going on in Green Bay these days we'll ask Tyler Dunne of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel to share his thoughts on Friday's edition of PFT Live. Dunne and Mike Florio will talk about what to watch for on the Packers side of the ball in the traditional dress rehearsal for the regular season.
Then we'll close out the week by finding out what PFT Planet wants to know. Florio will be taking your questions on the Packers, the Raiders and everybody else in the league so send them in on Twitter — @ProFootballTalk — or call 888-237-5269 during the show.
It all gets started at 1 p.m. ET and you can watch it all live by clicking right here.

We evaluated the risk of gastric cardia cancer by occupation and industry in a case-control study using information from death certificates for 24 US states in 1984-1992. One thousand fifty-six cases of gastric cardia cancer were identified among men aged 20 years or more, including 1,023 whites and 33 blacks. Controls were 5,280 subjects who died of nonmalignant diseases, 5:1 matched to cases by geographic region, race, gender, and 5-year age group. Among white men, occupations with elevated risk included financial managers (odds ratio [OR] = 6.1; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.3-28.8), janitors and cleaners (OR = 1.7; 95% CI, 1.0-2.9), production inspectors (OR = 3.2; 95% CI, 1.5-6.9), and truck drivers (OR = 1.5; 95% CI, 1.0-2.2). Industries with elevated risk included pulp and paper mills (OR = 2.0; 95% CI, 1.0-37), newspaper publishing and printing (OR = 2.6; 95% CI, 1.0-6.3), industrial and miscellaneous chemicals (OR = 2.0; 95% CI, 1.0-3.9), water supply and irrigation (OR = 5.6; 95% CI, 1.6-19.9). Among black men, risks were nonsignificantly increased for subjects employed in railroads (3 cases, 2 controls) and for carpenters (3 cases, 0 controls). We created job-exposure matrices for asbestos, inorganic dust, metal dust, lead, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, nitrosamines, sulfuric acid, fertilizers, herbicides, other pesticides, and wood dust. Among white men, a consistent pattern of risk increase by level and probability of exposure was observed only for sulfuric acid mists, with a twofold excess (95% CI, 0.6-7.3) associated with high probability of high intensity exposure. A significant 30% increase in risk was observed for those subjects with a high probability of exposure (all levels combined) to lead, and a 60% increase was observed for subjects with high-level exposure to lead (all probabilities combined). However, crosstabulation of gastric cardia cancer risk by probability and level of exposure to lead did not show consistent trends. Asbestos exposure also showed an overall 50% increase but no consistent trends among white men. None of the 12 occupational hazards showed an association with risk for black men.
While stomach cancer incidence and mortality have been declining worldwide over the past decades,1,2 there has been a recent rise in cancer of the gastric cardia and adenocarcinoma of the esophagus.3 Among whites, the male-to-female ratio for cancer of the gastric cardia is 5.6:1. Improved diagnostic capability does not seem to account for this time trend because other cancers of the upper digestive tract have not shown a similar increase.3
Few studies have specifically evaluated risk factors for cancer of the gastric cardia. Smoking and alcohol consumption were associated with risk in some4,5,5a but not in all studies.6 Dietary risk factors for gastric cancer have also been positively associated with the cardia subsite.6 A predominance of higher social class and professional occupations among incident male cases of gastric cardia cancer4,7 has been reported. However, a recent study5a found no association between education and income levels and risk of gastric Cardia Cancer. Occupational associations were recently evaluated among men and women by broad categories, using the 24 US states' death certificate database,8 and a significant increase in risk was reported for white men and white women among administrative managers, health professional, and rubber and chemical manufacturing workers. Among women, an increase in risk was associated also with work in the wholesale trade. We extended the previous investigation among men to include death certificates of an additional 3 years. Also, we evaluated more detailed occupation and industries and applied a priori job-exposure matrices for 12 occupational exposures that have previously been postulated as stomach cancer risk factors.
Since 1984, the National Cancer Institute, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, and the National Center for Health Statistics have supported the coding of occupation and industry titles on death certificates from 24 US states according to the 1980 US Census occupation and industry codes.9 This database currently consists of a total of 4.5 million death certificates, covering the years 1984-1992. Details on the 24 US states' death certificates database have been reported elsewhere.10 Only usual occupation and industry is reported on the death certificate, and no duration of employment is available. Mortality records among male subjects aged 20 years or more were used to evaluate the risk of gastric cardia cancer associated with usual employment in a specific occupation and industry. Of 13,040 stomach cancer deaths among men aged 25 years or older, there were 1,056 deaths (8.1%) from cancer of the gastric cardia (ICD-9 code 151.1), including 1,023 whites and 33 blacks. Subjects of other race groups were also excluded because of small numbers. An evaluation of gastric cardia cancer risk by broad occupation and industry categories among women was included in the above-cited report.8 Five controls per case were selected from among subjects who died of non-malignant diseases, and were frequency-matched to cases by geographic region, race, gender, and 5-year age-group. Decedents in each occupation or industry were compared with all others.
Based on the 1980 US Census list of occupations and industries,9 we used job-exposure matrices to evaluate occupational exposure to 12 potential carcinogenic exposures; namely, inorganic dust, asbestos, metal dust, lead, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, nitrosamines, sulfuric acid, fertilizers, herbicides, other pesticides, and wood dust. Most of these occupational hazards were discussed as risk factors for stomach cancer in a recent review.11 An estimate of intensity level (none = 0, low = 1, medium = 2, high = 3) and probability (none = 0, low = 1, medium = 2, high = 3) of exposure to each of the 12 occupational hazards was developed by an experienced industrial hygienist (M.D.) and an occupational physician (P.C.) for each 3-digit occupation and industry code.
Intensity of exposure was estimated based upon literature information, computerized exposure databases (Occupational Safety and Health Administration files, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health inspections database), and personal experience of the same professionals. The probability index was estimated based on the proportion of exposed workers within a given job title or industry and the number of occupations or industries with the same 1980 Census code. In addition, occupations were characterized into two groups depending upon the sources of exposure. If exposure was determined by the occupation itself regardless of industry, final intensity and probability scores were obtained by squaring the occupational scores. If exposure was determined by both occupation and industry, then the probability of exposure was dependent upon the industry, and the final score of intensity resulted from multiplying the intensity scores of both the occupation and industry. The final scores of probability and intensity of exposure were further categorized within four levels (none = 0, low = 1-2, medium = 3-4, high = 6-9).
Odds ratios (ORs) were estimated by logistic regression, and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) by the Wald method, using the GMBO program in the Epicure software.12 Included in the logistic regression model were age (5-year age categories), marital status (never married vs ever married), rural vs urban residence, and socioeconomic status (SES) (five categories, based on Green's Standardized Scores for Specific Occupations13). Statistical significance of trends in risk by increasing intensity level and probability of exposure were tested by dividing the regression coefficients of the variables assumed as non-categorical by their standard error to generate a Z-statistic. Under the null hypothesis, this test behaves as a normal standard deviate.14 P values were two-tailed.
Average age at death of gastric cardia cancer cases did not vary by race (white men, 64.2 ± 11.1 years; black men, 64.4 ± 10.9). Among white men, never having been married was associated with a significantly reduced risk of gastric cardia cancer (OR = 0.6; 95% CI, 0.4-0.8), while the risk was positive among black men (OR = 2.4; 95% CI, 0.9-6.1). A 20% increase in risk among both study groups was associated with rural residence, defined as residence in the countryside or in a city with less than 250,000 inhabitants (white men: OR = 1.2; 95% CI, 1.0-1.4; black men: OR = 1.2; 95% CI, 0.5-2.7).
Among white men, risk increased significantly by SES category: ORs were 1.3 (95% CI, 1.0-1.6), 1.7 (95% CI, 1.4-2.2), 2.1 (95% CI, 1.6-2.6), and 2.5 (95% CI, 1.9-3.4) in consecutive, increasing SES categories, compared with the lowest category. A significant 2.5-fold increase in risk was also observed among black men in the second-lowest SES category, compared with the lowest, but numbers in the higher SES categories were not sufficient to confirm the trend observed among whites. These covariates and age in five-year groups were included in logistic regression models to estimate risk associated with each industry, occupation, or exposure.
Table 1 shows the risks for gastric cardia cancer associated with specific industries with five cases or more among white men. A significant or borderline significant increase in risk was observed among the following industries: bakery products (OR = 3.9; 95% CI, 1.3-11.2); pulp, paper, and paperboard mills (OR = 2.0; 95% CI, 1.0-3.7); newspaper publishing and printing (OR = 2.6; 95% CI, 1.0-6.3); industrial and miscellaneous chemicals manufacturing (OR = 2.0; 95% CI, 1.0-3.9); miscellaneous manufacturing industries (OR = 3.3; 95% CI, 1.3-8.4); water supply and irrigation (OR = 5.6; 95% CI, 1.6-19.9); colleges and universities (OR = 2.1; 95% CI, 1.1-4.2); and social services not elsewhere classified (OR = 7.8; 95% CI, 1.6-37.8). Notably, among industries reported to be associated with stomach cancer in other studies, risk was not increased for farming, mining, the construction industry, manufacturing of tires and other rubber products, or woodworking. Non-significant increases of twofold or more were observed for meat products and iron and steel foundries. Among black men, a non-significant positive association was observed only among persons employed in railroads (OR = 13.1, based on three cases and two controls).
Table 2 presents the ORs for occupations with five exposed deaths or more among white men. A significant or borderline significant increase in risk was observed for financial managers (OR = 6.1; 95% CI, 1.3-28.8); janitors and cleaners (OR = 1.7; 95% CI, 1.0-2.9); production inspectors, checkers, and examiners (OR = 3.2; 95% CI, 1.5-6.9); and drivers of heavy trucks (OR = 1.5; 95% CI, 1.0-2.2).
Some non-significant excess risks corresponded to results among industries: printing machine operators (OR = 1.4; 95% CI, 0.5-3.7), bakers (OR = 2.0; 95% CI, 0.5-7.8), and water and sewage treatment plant operators (OR = 5.2; 95% CI, 1.1-25.0). The last two occupations, both based on three cases, are not reported in the tables. Other non-significant increases in risk among occupations previously associated with stomach cancer11 were observed for firefighters, brickmasons and stonemasons, and construction laborers, but not for farmers, farmworkers, and butchers and meatcutters. Among blacks, only carpenters showed a non-significant excess risk (three cases and no controls).
The application of the 12 job-exposure matrices for potential occupational risk factors for gastric cardia cancer showed an increase in risk associated with the probability of exposure to asbestos and sulfuric acid among white men (Table 3), with a significant positive trend for sulfuric acid. The increase in risk associated with high probability of exposure to asbestos was based on only one death. High probability of exposure to lead was associated with a significant 30% increase in risk among white men, and the risk was 1.2 for all probability categories combined among black men (data not shown). Risk patterns by intensity of exposure (Table 4) showed an inverse trend for asbestos, while sulfuric acid again showed a significantly positive trend (P < 0.01). The highest intensity level of lead exposure was associated with a significant 60% increase in risk.
More detailed analyses were possible only for white men. Among whites, risk patterns associated with exposure to asbestos, lead, and sulfuric acid were also explored within categories of probability and intensity of exposure (Table 5). A consistent pattern of increasing risk by probability within intensity level categories and by intensity level within probability categories was observed for sulfuric acid, with a few significantly positive trends. Lead showed some increase in the highest level of exposure, but only one case was represented in the high-level/high probability of exposure cell. Risk patterns associated with probability and intensity of exposure to asbestos were inconsistent. However, only one subject had a high probability of exposure to asbestos.
The results of the present case-control analysis suggest that occupational exposure to sulfuric acid mists may be a risk factor for cancer of the gastric cardia. Applying a job-exposure matrix to the occupation/industry combinations in the death certificates of study subjects resulted in significantly increasing risks by probability and intensity level of exposure. Exposure to sulfuric acid mists occurs in the pulp and paper mills industry, where we observed a significant increase in risk. Exposure to acid mists also occurs among water and sewage treatment plant operators, who showed a fivefold increase in risk in this study (OR = 5.2; 95% CI, 1.1-25.0, based on three cases; not shown in the tables). Other exposures in these jobs include chlorine and its acids. Gastroesophageal reflux has been suggested as an important risk factor for adenocarcinomas of the esophagus and gastric cardia,15 possibly through the production of premalignant epithelial changes after contact with the acidic content of the stomach. Whether the inhalation and subsequent ingestion of acid mists in occupational settings might also cause irritation and subsequent premalignant changes in the gastric cardia mucosa is unknown. Significant increases in gastric cardia cancer risk were also associated with high probability (all levels combined) of and high-level (all probabilities combined) exposure to lead, by crosstabulation of risk by the two exposure metrics did not show consistent trends. Only one death was represented in the high probability/high level of exposure cell. Results for asbestos were also inconsistent. Only one subject had high probability of exposure to asbestos, and risk decreased by increasing level of exposure in the low- and medium-probability categories. None of the other occupational hazards explored using job-exposure matrices showed any pattern of increasing risk either by probability or intensity level of exposure.
The present analysis of risk of gastric cardia cancer by occupation and industry showed some similarities with reports in the literature for all stomach cancer combined.11 However, occupations-such as farmers, and butchers and meatcutters-or industries-such as mining, construction, manufacturing of tires and other rubber products, and wood working, previously associated with stomach cancer,11-were not associated with gastric cardia cancer risk in this study among white men. A non-significant excess risk for carpenters was limited to black men. Also, exposure to inorganic dust, metal dust, and nitrosamines, possible candidates as occupational carcinogens for gastric cancer,11 did not show an association in this study. These disparities may be due to the limitations of this analysis in evaluating occupational exposures, or they may reflect a different etiology for gastric cardia cancer, compared with other cancers of the stomach.
Cancer of the gastric cardia is largely underreported on the death certificates. SEER incidence data indicate that it accounts for about 25% of all gastric cancer among men,8 while it accounts only for 8.1% of stomach cancer deaths in the 24 US states' death certificate database. We observed an association of gastric cardia cancer with higher SES, which may be due to differential underreporting by the SES of the decedent. We adjusted risk estimates by SES to prevent underestimation of the gastric cardia cancer risk associated with some occupations and industries belonging to low SES.
Interpretation of results from hypothesis-generating studies is difficult, as chance is a likely explanation when multiple comparisons are involved. Suggestions have been made to correct the level of statistical significance by the number of comparisons.16 Instead, we presented only risk estimates with at least five exposed deaths and explored the consistency of trends by probability and intensity of exposure.
Another limitation in the present study is that occupational information in the death certificates is limited to only one occupation and industry title, with no duration of employment. Any resulting exposure misclassification would probably be non-differential. As a consequence, underestimation is most likely for risk associated with high-exposure categories, and positive trends such as those that we observed for exposure to sulfuric acid would be possible only under very extreme conditions.17 On the other hand, using the 24 US states' database provided the largest number of gastric cardia cancer deaths studied to date, which allowed the first detailed exploration of occupational associations. Further studies with more detailed exposure assessments, based on complete work histories and incident cases, are needed to further evaluate hypotheses generated by the present study.

Cody Rhodes
Real Name
Cody Runnels
Date of Birth
June 30, 1985
Place of Birth
While making an appearance at the Comic Con event in southern California, Scott Steiner was asked about his relationship with WWE. He stated that the company has tried to get him to sign a Legends contract in the past. However, Steiner revealed that he did not sign the deal because his lawyers advised him against doing such a thing because WWE would basically own his name.
August 9, 2014
News coming out of Comic Con is that a sequel to Guardians of the Galaxy has already been set. For WWE fans, that means that Batista will need more time off to work on the film. No word yet on whether or not he plans to remain in the professional wrestling industry since his movie career is moving forward, however. Depending on the success of the first film, Batista could land other roles in Hollywood, which would entice him to leave WWE.
July 27, 2014
Fans in attendance at the Comic Con event in San Diego this week have a chance to meet Christopher Daniels. The former TNA star has a booth there to promote his comic book. Daniels was paid a visit by Daniel Bryan, who was sent to the show by WWE to help promote the upcoming WWE 2K15 video game. The two of them had a nice talk and posed for a social media picture together.
July 25, 2014
A lot of fans were hoping to see John Cena next month at the Comic Con event in San Antonio. They're going to be a little bit disappointed because WWE has been forced to pull the heavyweight champion from the event. The belief is that he needs the time to film a new movie. To make things up to the fans, WWE is sending Bray Wyatt, Brie Bella and Nikki Bella.
July 3, 2014
Over the last several weeks, TNA has been generating quite the buzz, including a big announcement by Dixie Carter and Great Muta about doing Bound For Glory 2014 in Japan. Now, the company is hyping up a huge announcement that will be taking place at the London Film and Comic Con event. No official word yet on what the announcement will be, but some are speculation that TNA could be doing a pay per view in England soon.
June 30, 2014
While management might not be a big fan of Adam Rose, he does have a supporter in Batista. At the Comic Con event in Philadelphia over the weekend, Batista told the fans, who were there to hear him speak about the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy movie, that Rose was someone in WWE that people should keep an eye on. That show of support is unlikely to have an effect on management, though.
June 24, 2014
It looks like WWE is throwing quite a bit of faith into Paige. Aside from giving her the Divas Championship on the special episode of Monday Night Raw following Wrestlemania 30, management is also sending her to the big Comic Con event in Chicago. This is considered one of the bigger events of its kind, so the fact that they chose Paige instead of a Total Divas cast member is a telling sign.
May 20, 2014
In a sign that WWE wants his character to hit the mainstream, Bray Wyatt has been booked for Comic Con event in Chicago in August. Previously, management had instructed Wyatt to avoid doing any media appearances and interviews to preserve his character. Now, they're having him work a huge public event with John Cena, Batista, Paige and Bruno Sammartino.
May 20, 2014
At the Wizard World Comic Con this weekend in Louisville, Randy Orton will be making an appearance at the event. The news is a bit interesting as this was the show that CM Punk was originally scheduled to be at before he walked out on WWE. Orton will be taking pictures and signing autographs, but he is not going to be answering questions from fans.
March 26, 2014
Since a lot of wrestlers have been making a decent amount of money doing these conventions, Jake Roberts decided to contact the people in charge of the Wizard World Comic Con, as the WWE legend wanted to work the event in Chicago. He revealed on Twitter that he was rejected, as event promoters did not feel that he would be enough of a draw.
March 22, 2014
During a recent interview at Wizard World Comic Con, Sheamus was asked who he would like to face at Wrestlemania, and he was quick to choose Daniel Bryan, noting that the two of them deserve to have a match that last longer than a minute. The former world heavyweight champion feels that he and Bryan can tear down the house if given time.
March 17, 2014
Amid boos from the Wizard World Comic Con attendees, Sheamus defended John Cena by informing everyone that he is a hard worker who gets along with people backstage. He also admitted that a few former WWE stars have trashed Cena. Sheamus stated that those performers should blame themselves for their failures instead of blaming Cena.
March 15, 2014
Following a slew of other wrestlers making appearances at these events, Mick Foley will be appearing at Comic Con this weekend in Kentucky. The legendary WWE star will be doing a discussion panel, where he talks about the 20 year anniversary of having his ears ripped out by Vader during a match in Europe.
March 14, 2014
While making an appearance at the Wizard World Comic Con show in Sacramento over the weekend, Sheamus was asked by fans about the backstage heat situation involving CM Punk. Sheamus stated that he did not know what happened and that only Punk knows the full story. He also stated that he liked working with Punk and that there is a chance he will return some day.
March 9, 2014
While a lot of fans are keeping their hopes up for a potential return before Wrestlemania 30, it appears that things between WWE and CM Punk have not advanced much. In fact, it has now gotten to the point where the company has removed Punk from his upcoming scheduled appearance at the Wizard World Comic Con in Kentucky.
February 25, 2014
Earlier this month, Jason David Frank gained the interest of professional wrestling fans when he challenged CM Punk, who recently walked out of WWE, to an MMA fight, and there's a very slight chance that he might be able to challenge him in person. The two of them are scheduled to be at Comic Con in Louisville in March.
February 9, 2014
AJ Lee made a special appearance at the Wizard World Comic Con in New Orleans on Friday, and there was a fear that fans were going to ask her about CM Punk, so event coordinators instructed people beforehand to not do questions regarding her boyfriend or his backstage heat situation with WWE.
February 8, 2014
Fans in Oakland will not get to see AJ Lee wrestling tonight at the live event, as WWE sent her to New Orleans today to work the Wizard World Comic Con event instead. No word yet on whether or not management will have her joining the tour in San Diego on Saturday night, but she is expected to be in Los Angeles for Monday Night Raw.
February 7, 2014
CM Punk is scheduled to make another appearance at a Comic Con. The former WWE Champion will be doing the one in Portland next weekend. He will be doing photographs and autographs to start and will finish up with a questions and answers session.
January 19, 2014
John Morrison posted a picture of himself with some Star Wars fans at the Comic Con in Albuquerque.
January 12, 2014
Reports are surfacing that WWE will be throwing a last minute fatal four way match together at Summerslam 2014, where Cody Rhodes, Goldust, Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, Luke Harper, Erick Rowan, Curtis Axel and Ryback will all be vying for the tag titles. Management does not view this division to be a priority at this time, even though fan interest has grown.
August 7, 2014
In a match that was slightly held in higher regards than a filler match, Goldust and Cody Rhodes, who worked under his Stardust gimmick again, defeated Curtis Axel, who was sporting a ridiculous looking singlet, and Ryback. The match was designed to highlight the Stardust character. Since there was a little bit of action after the match, there is a chance that WWE could be continuing this feud.
June 29, 2014
Despite creating a buzz online with fans, Cody Rhodes had his Stardust character omitted by WWE during the company's broadcast of Monday Night Raw on Hulu. Every week, management decides which segments are important enough to include on that version of their television show. Rumors have it that WWE does not deem Rhodes and Goldust as a high priority at the moment.
June 17, 2014
"It actually came from a joke. Cody Rhodes likes to tell a story that when he was a little kid he used to watch me wrestle. I'm slightly older than Cody, we're talking three years or something like that, but in his head I'm a really old man. I once walked into the locker room and he was telling the entire locker room that when he was a kid he was watching me wrestling as this character he made up named 'Bad News Barrett' who goes around giving out bad news to people. So we all laughed about it and forgot about it. Then I was invited on the JBL and Cole show and they said they wanted to use me on the show and asked if I had any ideas of what to do. So I said you know what, let's just do Bad News Barrett. I'll just turn up and give people bad news and then disappear. I got a really good response online and fans were loving the catch phrase 'I'm afraid I've got some bad news' and Vince McMahon saw it and thought it was the funniest thing he had ever seen. Next thing you know I'm on TV doing it." - Wade Barrett explaining how his new gimmick in WWE came ot be
June 16, 2014
Rumors are running rampant right now that Ted DiBiase will be making his return to WWE tonight, as Goldust has been posting several interesting updates on Twitter. He and DiBiase even had a direct interaction, where they asked one another if they would be at Monday Night Raw tonight. WWE is running a story line where Cody Rhodes has been choosing tag team partners for his older brother.
June 9, 2014
In a match designed by WWE to accelerate the split between the brothers, Curtis Axel and Ryback defeated Cody Rhodes and Goldust in the second match of Payback 2014. Ryback picked up the pin fall victory for his team after delivering the Shell Shock to Rhodes. Afterwards, Rhodes told Goldust that he needs to find a better tag team partner for himself.
June 1, 2014
Another match being penciled in for Extreme Rules 2014 is Cody Rhodes vs Goldust. WWE has been planting the seeds of dissension between the real life brothers, and you can expect the story line to heat up over the next couple of weeks, leading to a pay per view match. Depending on how well the fans react to the feud, Goldust could be leaving WWE shortly afterwards.
May 11, 2014
When Cody Rhodes and Goldust finally split up in the story line, it appears that the younger brother will be the one doing the heel turn. WWE has been testing out the audience reaction by having Rhodes walk out on Goldust during tag team matches. The belief is that fans would be more sympathetic towards Goldust because of the nostalgia factor.
May 3, 2014
For the last several weeks, there have been rumors floating around that Goldust was going to be leaving WWE in the near future, and the belief now is that he will be making his departure after working a feud against his brother Cody Rhodes. Seeds of dissension between the two have been planted by the writers over the last couple weeks of Monday Night Raw.
May 1, 2014
Despite being given a new story line where he more than likely will be splitting from his brother Goldust and possibly feuding with him, Cody Rhodes remains very low on the priority list backstage in WWE right now. The highly talented performer has not been utilized in a high profile position for quite a few months. Speculation of backstage heat still persists.
April 29, 2014
While it has yet to be officially confirmed, you can expect to see Curtis Axel and Ryback challenging Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso for the WWE tag team championship at Extreme Rules 2014. The seeds for the match was placed when the former Paul Heyman duo attacked the Usos after they defeated Cody Rhodes and Goldust on Monday Night Raw last week.
April 25, 2014
A video of how Brandi Rhodes, the wife of Cody Rhodes, spent her Easter. WWE has been trying to promote the developmental diva, who appears briefly in her underwear, through their website over the last several weeks.
April 24, 2014
Despite working a segment that is building towards a feud for the tag team championship, Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso were removed from the Hulu version of Monday Night Raw this week. The brother tandem defeated Cody Rhodes and Goldust before setting up their program with Curtis Axel and Ryback. WWE still intends to continue the story line.
April 23, 2014
Rumors have sparked about Cody Rhodes and Goldust doing a heel turn soon. However, that is just pure speculation at this point, as a lot of people are under the belief that WWE was testing things out at the live event in Saudi Arabia earlier this week. The brothers worked a match against Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso, but it was simply a matter of filling out the card.
April 22, 2014
In an interesting move, WWE had Dean Ambrose defend the United States Heavyweight Championship at a live event in Saudi Arabia this week. He successfully retained the belt in a fatal four way that consisted of Cody Rhodes, Kofi Kingston and Dolph Ziggler. Ambrose has rarely been allowed to defend the US title over the last couple of months.
April 18, 2014
"Why are folks surprised by Nancy Grace? She got dumped by a professional wrestler in the 1980s and started a life quest to be just awful. If she was remotely confident in her accusations, she would interview an active talent. Yet, she won't do that because she'd have a Mark Cuban and Skip Bayless situation, and she would come off as the ignorant sweat hog she actually is." - Cody Rhodes bashes Nancy Grace for attacking the wrestling business
April 10, 2014
In a sign that they are still in the dog house with management, Cody Rhodes and Goldust were removed from the Hulu version of Monday Night Raw this week. Their match against Damien Sandow and Fandango, two guys who normally do not team up together, was considered a throwaway segment and not deemed important enough for rebroadcast.
April 1, 2014
WWE has announced that the Andre the Giant memorial battle royal will consists of Alberto Del Rio, Big E Langston, Big Show, Brodus Clay, Christian, Cody Rhodes, Damien Sandow, Darren Young, Dolph Ziggler, Drew McIntyre, Fandango, Goldust, Great Khali, Heath Slater, Jinder Mahal, Justin Gabriel, Kofi Kingston, Mark Henry, Miz, R Truth, Rey Mysterio, Santino Marella, Sheamus, Sin Cara, Titus ONeil and Zack Ryder. There are also four spots available for last minute entrants.
March 25, 2014
On Monday Night Raw this week, Goldust and Fandango worked a singles match, where Cody Rhodes and Summer Rae were both at ringside. An accident took place in the ring, and Goldust ended up being busted open and needing a couple of stitches to close. The veteran WWE star was quite frustrated backstage about the incident.
March 21, 2014
After much speculations about their role at Wrestlemania 30, Cody Rhodes and Goldust have now been confirmed as participants for the Andre the Giant memorial battle royal. There were talks backstage in WWE of giving the brothers a higher profile match on the show, but management has been downplaying their importance over the last several weeks.

- Below Deck Kelley and Jennice: Just Friends? Tuesdays 9/8c
That woman, the psychic (and I will refer to her as just that), seemed to revel in the devastation that surrounded her. As you have obviously witnessed, it wasn't my argument. Adrienne and I stood by as this barrage of insults kept hurling past. Camille initiating conflict with Faye, by mentioning her Playboy spread, seemed to indicate to me that trouble was brewing. And the psychic, who was off the clock and clearly on the cocktails, just would not stop.
I don't need to explain who said what, but the fact that bothered me the most, were the comments made after we had left. I was extremely perturbed at the insinuation that Mauricio, whom I have known for a good amount of time and seen behave in many situations, would ever act inappropriately, or whatever it was that woman said about the nannies. Oh please, whatever your name is, go have another drink!
Look, I have tried to remain impartial and objective, but when I viewed that segment, it looked mean and vindictive, and I am mystified as to why they would take that route. The "psychic" lost all credibility to me. She couldn't be more wrong!
I think this episode had the potential to create irreparable damage between Kyle and Camille, and I am deeply saddened by it.
Who knows where we go from here, but I feel this is an impossible situation.
Keep watching.
As always, love

Wind Farm Profits Hit By Plans To Freeze Carbon Tax
Proposed freeze could wipe millions from wind farm owners' profits
Wind farm owners across Britain will earn tens of millions of pounds less than expected because of plans by the Government to freeze the carbon tax.
Solar farm, biomass and nuclear plant owners will also see future earnings cut by the change, widely expected to be announced in the Budget later this month.
The carbon tax was announced in the 2011 Budget and came into effect last year, with the aim of encouraging new green power plants. It sets a "floor" for the price of burning carbon each year.
The tax has the effect of pushing up the wholesale market price for electricity — increasing profits for renewable and nuclear generators who do not have to pay it.
Critics say it has not attracted investment, but has handed windfall profits to green plants built before it was introduced. Most damagingly, they say, it makes UK manufacturers uncompetitive and pushes up consumer energy bills.
Amid political pressure to curb rising energy costs, the Chancellor is widely expected to freeze the tax at 2015-16 levels of about £18 per tonne of carbon, up from about £5 now, and potentially rule out further rises for the rest of the decade.
"Anybody who has either developed or bought a wind farm over the past three years, since the carbon floor was introduced, would have been working on the basis power prices would rise alongside the carbon tax," said John Musk, analyst at RBC Capital Markets. "Now that that is likely to be frozen, the return they would have hoped for will be diminished."
