I am all for life. Your so-called religions are all against life, they are anti-life. Naturally they have to be as cold as a corpse.
I would like my sannyasins to be living totally and multi-dimensionally, even in small things - bringing their whole being to a focus. And if you can start living moment to moment in different ways - but always total - Vipassana will happen to you more easily than you can conceive because you have never seen anything happening so easily, without effort, on its own accord. You can force yourself to sit in silence and remain awake. I don't teach that kind of Vipassana. I teach a Vipassana that follows you like a shadow, as a by-product of your total living.
Osho,The forty days and forty nights that Jesus spent in the wilderness - did he meditate? - he never mentions meditation if he had known of it.Just what did he get up to out there?
He did not meditate. If he could have meditated the shape of things in the world would have been different. What he did in those forty days and forty nights was prayer. Prayer to a god which he knows not. No one knows whether he exists or not.
Millions of people have been praying and the sky remains utterly indifferent; no answer, no response.
The whole ideology of Jesus and Christianity is based on fiction. It is a religious fiction. The same is true about all the religions which are religions of prayer.
There are two kinds of religions in the world: religions of prayer and religions of meditation.
The religions of prayer are fictitious because they begin from the very beginning with a belief in a god. Belief is not knowing, and belief cannot destroy your doubt. At the most it can repress, it can cover up your doubt, but underneath the belief you are always suspecting whether your belief is true or not. Doubt dies on its own accord when you know something; then there is no question of doubt.
Belief carries doubt with it.
And to make the belief system strong, prayer is the method. First the god is bogus - you create the god out of your fear, it is a phobia, and then you start praying to that god which is your own creation.

Goodbye to Mumbwa, Hello to Kitwe
One thing that we noted and commented about to the pastor Wilson Nkhoma was the treatment of animals. It's harsh. Dogs are not treated well – kicked and large rocks are thrown at them even by children who are following the adult's example. Even the cattle at the watering hole were treated harshly by children helping control the number of animals drinking. They seemed to enjoy hitting and whipping the animals. We talked ...

Latavius Murray's great game was lost in the Derek Carr enthusiasm
Derek Carr excited the entire Oakland Raiders fan base when he played against the Seattle Seahawks in the last preseason game of 2014. People were already excited about the rookie quarterback before he was able to see extended time, and then he led the Raiders to a 28-7 lead over the defending Super Bowl champions, throwing three touchdown passes while completing 11 of 13 passes...

Raiders' Latavius Murray had two surgeries last year
Raiders running back Latavius Murray underwent two surgeries last year. He played in just one preseason game before bowing to an ankle injury that required surgery.

Raider Nation was dismayed last season to see rookie running back Latavius Murray get placed on injured reserve at the end of August 2013.

Checking In On Oakland Raiders RB Latavius Murray
The Oakland Raiders were not very good last season and shouldn't be any better in 2013 but they do still have perennial fantasy disappointment Darren McFadden. And when you consistently have issues staying on the field (McFadden has never played more than 13 games in 5 seasons) it tends to give the next guy a shot to make a fantasy impact.

Yehoshua Saguy
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (January 2013)
|Yehoshua Saguy
|Date of birth
|17 September 1933
|Place of birth
|Jerusalem, Mandatory Palestine
|Party represented in Knesset
Major General Yehoshua Saguy (Hebrew: יהושע שגיא, born 27 September 1933) is an Israeli former intelligence officer and politician. He served as director of the Military Intelligence Directorate between 1979 and 1983, and as a Knesset member for Likud from 1988 until 1992.
Born in Jerusalem during the Mandate era, Saguy attended a local high school, and later gained a BA in history and international relations from Tel Aviv University.
He entered the Israeli Defense Forces in 1951. From 1953 to 1954 he served in the Southern Command, fulfilling field duties. During the Suez Crisis in 1956, he served as intelligence officer of the Armored Corps and as commander of a reconnaissance unit. Following the 1956 war, he served as an Intelligence Officer with the 7th Brigade, and later assistance intelligence officer. From 1967 until 1970 he was an Intelligence Officer in the Southern Command, and during the Yom Kippur War was a Divisional Intelligence Officer.
In 1974 he became assistance to the Research head at the Military Intelligence Directorate, and from 1978 until 1979 was deputy head of the unit. In February 1979 he was appointed head. However, he was sacked in 1983 following the recommendations of the Kahan Commission, which had determined that he was guilty of indifference during massacres at Palestinian refugee camps in Israeli-occupied Lebanon, and resigned from the army.[1]
After leaving the IDF, He won a place on the Likud list for the 1988 elections, and won a seat in the Knesset. He sat on the Finance Committee, the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee and the Internal Affairs and Environment Committee, until losing his seat in the 1992 elections. The following year he became mayor of Bat Yam, a role he held until 2003.

Istanbul (historically Byzantium and later Constantinople; see the other names of Istanbul) is the largest city of Turkey and the third largest city in the world. The city covers 27 districts of the Istanbul province.
It is located on the Bosphorus Strait and encompasses the natural harbor known as the Golden Horn, in the northwest of the country. It extends both on the European (Thrace) and on the Asian (Anatolia) side of the Bosphorus, and is thereby the only metropolis in the world which is situated on two continents. In its long history, Istanbul served as the capital city of the Roman Empire (330–395), the East Roman (Byzantine) Empire (395–1204 and 1261–1453), the Latin Empire (1204–1261), and the Ottoman Empire (1453–1922). The city was chosen as joint European Capital of Culture for 2010. The historic areas of Istanbul were added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1985.

Vendors announced Monday they are supplying UK-based Vodafone Group with trusted service management services and mobile-wallet software, respectively, as the UK-based telco gears up for NFC commercial launches.
U.S. mobile operator AT&T is seeking to offer other NFC services besides payments when it launches its mobile wallet—services that could include transit and event ticketing, digital door keys for offices, homes and hotel rooms and airline boarding passes, NFC Times has learned.
France-based Oberthur Technologies has won a key contract to serve as trusted service manager for France Telecom-Orange group, but lost a TSM contract with big French bank BNP Paribas, NFC Times has learned.
The chief of smart card supplier and trusted service manager Gemalto is predicting a fast-growing market for TSM services and noted the services were already contributing to profit.
France-based Oberthur Technologies announced today it has won a contract to supply trusted service management to French bank Société Générale, for the bank's eventual roll out of NFC payment.
Germany-based Giesecke & Devrient has announced it has won a contract to serve as trusted service manager for Australia's Commonwealth Bank for the bank's contactless-mobile payment rollout.
Spain-based Telefónica said it has chosen Germany-based Giesecke & Devrient as its trusted service manager as it gears up to introduce NFC services in Europe "over the next few months."
The joint venture formed by U.S. mobile carriers to launch NFC-based mobile payment has chosen a trusted service manager for pilots it plans next year, but the venture still may be looking for a CEO, NFC Times has learned.
Israel-based On Track Innovations reported new orders for its NFC and contactless readers in North America, along with the first shipments of its NFC-enabled Wave attachment, driving higher revenue, though the vendor's quarterly losses continued.
U.S.-based Identiv reported higher revenue and narrowed losses for the second quarter, predicting a breakeven or positive result by the end of the year, as the company's restructuring program draws to a close.
France-based Inside Secure reported a 9% drop in revenue in the first half, which it blamed on the end of shipments of NFC chips to BlackBerry and lower sales of "legacy" EMV chips to Europe.
NFC Times Exclusive: Westpac New Zealand's product chief told NFC Times he believes host-card emulation will reduce costs and increase flexibility, while ensuring the bank can use its own branded wallet.
NFC Times Exclusive: With interest in host-card emulation continuing to grow and SIM-based NFC rollouts in need of a boost, mobile operators and their global trade association, GSMA, are pushing for significant cuts in the cost and complexity of TSMs and lowering other hurdles that have discouraged service providers from provisioning their applications on SIM cards.
U.S.-based Broadcom did not mention NFC in its recent conference call with analysts following release of its second quarter results, in which it announced cuts to its global workforce of 20% by exiting the baseband mobile processor business.
A group of former top managers in Visa's mobile program have formed a start-up that plans to use NFC and BLE to deliver coupons, rewards and other offers to consumers in stores, using the branded apps of retailers or other marketers.
Visa Inc. has released a few more details of its planned tokenization service, which it announced last week as part of its Visa Digital Solutions "suite of offerings."
Transport for London today announced it would launch acceptance for open-loop bank cards and other contactless payment on its heavily traveled London Underground and other modes of transit in September, while the UK's largest mobile operator, EE, announced customers could begin to tap their NFC phones to pay fares at the same time.
Visa Inc. announced Thursday it would launch a tokenization service in September, as part of what it calls its Visa Digital Solutions "suite of offerings."
NXP Semiconductors said sales in its emerging ID business–mainly made up of its NFC chips–increased by 22% in the second quarter, compared with the first quarter, and CEO Richard Clemmer insisted the chip maker's secure element business would continue to remain a strong contributor.
Westpac New Zealand has announced a small trial of host-card emulation-based payments, with plans to introduce the technology to customers early next year.

If you're like me, you probably find yourself looking less and less often into a phone book.
Actually, I almost never do. Leafing through pages containing tons of small type just isn't as easy for me as clicking on my computer to find a phone number.
With this user in mind, we've created CrossroadsDining.com. It's a handy, searchable guide to all of our region's restaurants. Data Desk Editor Karla Woodward has updated it with handy information such as prices, wifi availability and cuisine. You also have the ability to offer your review of the restaurants, which is a particularly exciting feature. Online director Terry Owen and programmer Shawn Willmon built into the site a handy Google map. What phone book provides all of this information?
The advantage our service has over any national listing is that we're much closer to the local scene and can update the listings quickly. If you search Yahoo or Google, you're likely to find restaurants that have closed. The restaurant business is a volatile one.
This use of data is one of the many exciting new ways newspapers can grow and serve our audience even better. We'll be looking at ways we can connect these listings with news stories and related advertising. For example, I could see links to the health inspection reports we publish each Wednesday as being useful for diners.
I ate at Hu-Dat for lunch today and highly recommend the Mongolian beef stir-fry. How about you? What restaurants do you recommend?
Please let us know how you like CrossroadsDining.com.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
This route starts at the left-most edge of a steep, grassy ledge. There are two ways to approach it. First, from directly below, climb easy blocks and grassy steps, avoiding loose rock and trying not to slip on the grass. Second, climb up Topout.
Start up the left side of the auditorium, and follow a faint trail until you come to an open grassy section. Look up and identify some shiny bolts about 25m high. This is the anchor for Freedom Crack.

Top ten GLBTI literature classics you must read
To coincide with the 2014 Sydney Writers' Festival kickoff we've unleashed a list of classic LGBTI novels. We spoke with voracious reader and owner of Hares and Hyenas GLBTI bookstore, Rowland Thomson to get the top pics.
TOP LESBIAN FICTION (over the years)
The Well of Loneliness – Radclyffe Hall
Sir Philip and Lady Gordon long for an heir; but when their only daughter is born they call her Stephen. From a difficult, lonely childhood, through a tormented adolescence, Stephen Gordon reaches maturity and falls in love with another woman. For decades this novel was one of the best-known lesbian novels in English, but it has since been argued by theorists that the character should be classified as transgendered.

Carol (The Price of Salt) – Patricia Highsmith
Cast your eyes over this original 1950s love tale before seeing Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara get it on in upcoming screen adaptation. Originally titled Carol, Highsmith's 1952 novel follows two New York women who meet through a chance encounter. Filled with compelling wit, eroticism and consummate tenderness, Carol broke new ground because of its jubiland ending, unprecedented at the time in gay fiction.
For more info click here
Rubyfruit Jungle – Rita Mae Brown
A coming-of-age autobiographical novel, Rubyfruit Jungle focuses on the adopted Molly Bolt who embraces her lesbianism from an early age. Through high-school and college, Bolt forms relationships with many women and some men, detailing what it's like to grow up gay in America.

Bastard Out of Carolina – Dorothy Allison
One of the best novels on the juncture of class, sexuality, place and privilege, at the heart of this astonishing novel is Bone, a South Carolina bastard with an annotated birth certificate to tell her tale. Observing everything with the mercilessly keen eye of a child, Bone finds herself caught in a family struggle that will test all bonds, as a family story slowly unravels to reveal the power of love and long legacy of hurt.
For more info click here
Hood – Emma Donoghue
Set in Dublin during an unusual September heatwave, Hood follows Pen who has just lost her girlfriend Cara in a car accident. Her loss allows for the reflection of their 13 years together, the path her life has taken and the closet she has long lived in. When Cara's sister returns from New York matters come to a head. Donoghue is a masterful writer and this is a beautiful and powerful book.
For more info click here
The Pea Pickers – Eve Langley
First published in 1942, this novel is partly autobiographical, following Steve and Blue, two girls dressed as men who are taken on as itinerant workers on farms in Gippsland. They pack apples and pick peas. But their disguise is partial as they embark on a quest to find love. For Blue the novel ends in marriage; but not for Steve. For her, desire is never straightforward, and love - for men, for women, for country - leaves her confused, but independent.
For more info click here
Fall On Your Knees – Anne Marie MacDonald
Fall on Your Knees is the story of the lives of four unforgettable sisters. It takes readers on a journey from haunted Cape Breton island in Nova Scotia through to the battlefields of World War I and into New York City's emerging jazz scene. Themes of family relationships, racial strife, miracles, attempted murder, birth, death, and an extraordinary love affair are all.
For more info click here
Macho Sluts – Pat Califia
Pat Califia's collection of BDSM stories shocked its audience when first published in 1988. Set in San Francisco's dyke bathhouses, sex parties, S/M gay bars, shocked the lesbian community and caused an upheaval in the field of queer publishing. Nobody had ever written so frankly about the kinky potential of woman-to-woman sex (and nobody has ever done it better).

The Monkey's Mask – Dorothy Porter
Winning the Age book of the year for Poetry' in 1994, Porter's novel is a unique piece of prose taking us into the world of private investigator Jill Fitzpatrick – she's not the most effective at her job, but certainly one of the most entertaining. She's living a life of love and lust while half-heartedly tracking down the murderer of her clients' daughter. One of the most fun-filled romps we've read and an absolute joy to read.
For more info click here
Oranges are Not the Only Fruit – Jeanette Winterson
This semi-autobiographical novel won Winterson the Whitbread Award for best first fiction in 1985. Jeanette, the protagonist of the novel has "unnatural" desires that soon come to the attention of her adopted m'am, a woman obsessed with the lord and religious excesses. Growing up in a working-class Pentacostal family Jeanette's coming-of-age is far from typical. Oranges are Not the Only Fruit are full of memorable moments and Winterson's trademark ability to mix so-called reality with unconventional fairy tales.

Tipping the Velvet – Sarah Waters
One of our most popular lesbian novels. Tipping the Velvet is set in the lush surrounds of 19th century London, and follows the adventures of Nancy, an oystergirl whose life changes when she meets Kitty Butler, a male impersonator who introduces her to the world of the music hall.

TOP GAY FICTION (over the years)
The Picture of Dorian Grey – Oscar Wilde (uncensored edition)
This now-famous book altered the way Victorians understood the world they inhabited, heralding the end of a repressive era. Now, more than 120 years after Wilde handed it over to his publisher, his uncensored typescript is published here for the first time, in an annotated, extensively illustrated edition.
For more info click here
Maurice – E.M. Forster
A tale of passion, bravery and defiance, this intensely personal novel was completed in 1914 but remained unpublished until after Forster's death in 1970. Compellingly honest and beautifully written, it offers a powerful condemnation of the repressive attitudes of British society, and is at once a moving love story and an intimate tale of one man's erotic and political self-discovery.
For more info click here
Giovanni's Room – James Baldwin
Set in Europe in the 1950s, Baldwin's novel was one of the first popular books to deal honestly with homosexuality. When David arrives alone in Paris, he begins an affair with Giovanni.
Full of passion, regret and longing, this story of a fated love triangle has become a landmark in gay writing, but its appeal is broader. James Baldwin caused outrage as a black author writing about white homosexuals, yet for him the issues of race, sexuality and personal freedom were eternally intertwined.
For more info click here
City of Night – John Rechy
When John Rechy's explosive first novel appeared in 1963, it marked a radical departure from all other novels of its kind, and gave voice to a subculture that had never before been revealed with such acuity, earning comparisons to Genet and Kerouac. The book became an international best-seller and ushered in a new era of fiction. Bold and inventive, Rechy is unflinching in his portrayal of one hustling "youngman" and his search for self-knowledge within the neon-lit world of hustlers, drag queens, and the denizens of their world.

Faggots – Larry Kramer
When first published in 1978, Faggots proved controversial and outraged many because it sent up New York's self-imposed gay ghetto of gyms, discos, orgy rooms, and moustachioed clones. It chronicles gay life in the late 70s with unsparing honesty and wild humour that conveys a a sense of premonitory unease, even foreboding, about the spread of promiscuity, sadomasochism and narcotics among the homosexual population.

Fairyland – Sumner Locke Elliott
Drawing heavily on Locke Elliott's own experiences, Fairyland charts the life of Seaton Daly, an aspiring writer coming to terms with his homosexuality in the repressive atmosphere of inner-city Sydney during the 30s and '40s. It is an intimate, affecting, sometimes harrowing portrayal of a lifelong search for love.

The Swimming Pool Library – Alan Hollinghurst
This now classic gay novel created a stir in Britain when first released in 1988, with its realistic 'mince-no-words' glimpse of gay life in pre-AIDS London. With an approach that's more 'literary' than sensational, Hollinghurst masterfully re-creates a sense of time and place and the social and cultural milieu in which gay men operated before the scourge of AIDS.

Tales of the City – Armistead Maupin (series)
Armistead Maupin's uproarious and moving Tales of the City novels have earned a unique niche in American literature; not only as matchless entertainment, but as indelible documents of cultural change in American society since the 1970s. The final instalment, The Days of Anna Madrigal, has just been released to critical acclaim and many tears that the series is at an end.

The Man Who Fell In Love With The Moon – Tom Spanbauer
In this haunting and deeply felt tale of love and loss, Spanbauer tells the story of Shed, a bisexual mixed-race native American. Set in the 1880s in a town called Excellent, Idaho, Shed lives with a band of social misfits, prostitutes and drunkards. Venturing out into the world beyond Excellent is a moving and memorable journey; this stunning book shakes up gender and racial lines in an unforgettable way.

Regeneration Trilogy – Pat Barker
Pat Barker's trilogy of Regeneration, The Eye in the Door and the Man Booker Award-winning The Ghost Road are amongst the most impressive writing ever about war. Taken together, they display an extraordinary psychological insight into the horrors of war, bringing us characters of rare emotional depth and complexity. Barker's understanding of the dynamics of class and sexuality as they relate to politics and history are particularly impressive, and allow the books to be read on a number of levels.

Dead Europe – Christos Tsiolkas
One of Tsiolkas' most impressive books, Dead Europe moves between modern-day Australia and Europe while journeying to Greece during World War II. Tough and unsparing in its sexual and psychological detail, it is a beautifully written account of the links and differences between modern Australian life, Europe past and present, and the power of tribalism and prejudice.

Michael Hayes
Real Name
Michael Seitz
Date of Birth
March 29, 1959
Place of Birth
Since Ross Von Erich and Marshall Von Erich are working a match at Slammiversary 2014, there have been a lot of rumors floating around that the sons of Kevin Von Erich are going to be signed to a contract with TNA. However, there are reports surfacing that the company is basically doing this as a one shot deal. TNA gains additional exposure since the Von Erich name is still beloved in Dallas, while the brothers are given a chance to be introduced to fans in the United States.
June 8, 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
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
For quite some time, there were plans penciled in for Wrestlemania 30 for a big match between Cody Rhodes and Goldust. Management is not nearly as high on the two of them nowadays, as the match is now off the table. There is still a chance, though, that the brothers will work the pay per view as a tag team, especially if they go with a multiple team match for the WWE tag titles.
February 27, 2014
The belief backstage right now is that Cody Rhodes and Goldust will be splitting up at Elimination Chamber 2014, where the brothers are expected to be involved in a match for the WWE tag titles. A match between the two is still penciled in for Wrestlemania 30.
February 1, 2014
Despite causing controversy again with the Rosa Mendes incident, those within WWE do not believe that Michael Hayes will be fired anytime soon.
October 26, 2013
Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso had their biggest challenge to date when Erick Rowan and Luke Harper challenged them for the WWE tag team championship at Money in the Bank 2014. The twin brothers delivered by retaining the belt. The Usos performed a double superplex on Rowan before finishing him off with consecutive flying splashes from the top rope.
June 29, 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
Even though the truth has been out there for several years now, a lot of wrestling fans are still under the belief that Ole Anderson and Arn Anderson are brothers in real life. They're not. The relationship was created for their on screen characters to help Arn connect with the audience quicker because Ole was already established in the territory.
April 4, 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.
March 19, 2014
Even though the brothers have not been utilized on television as strongly as they were a couple of months ago, WWE is working on a DVD that will featured around Dusty Rhodes, Cody Rhodes and Goldust. The family should be receiving a push whenever the DVD is ready to be launched. There's a good chance now that Goldust will stick around a little bit longer.
March 14, 2014
For those that have been wondering, Kevin Von Erich, the surviving member of the world famous Von Erich brothers, is now living in Hawaii and simply enjoying his time. He has been exploring the island and has been routinely posting beautiful pictures of the state. Von Erich has absolutely no plans on returning to professional wrestling.
March 4, 2014
While many will remember her long and storied career in professional wrestling, Mae Young actually started out as an amateur wrestler. A bit of a tomboy growing up, the future WWE hall of fame inductee, was trained by her older brothers on how to wrestle. She became so good that she was allowed on the boys team in high school.
March 2, 2014
Last week, Jeff Hardy and Matt Hardy teamed up for an independent wrestling show, and the place was packed to the brim. They are hoping to do so again in April when they do an OMEGA event in Cameron, North Carolina, their howetown. The event will benefit the high school that the brothers attended. Shane Helms and Shannon Moore are rumored to be appearing as well.
March 1, 2014
Originally, Cody Rhodes and Goldust were both scheduled to work live events over the weekend in Las Vegas and Phoenix. However, it appears that management has pulled them because they wanted to give Cody some time to heal up from his knee injury. The brothers might still make an appearance on Monday Night Raw, though.
February 17, 2014
While many fans know that Cody Rhodes and Goldust are brothes, some do not know that they are actually half brothers. Their father is WWE legend Dusty Rhodes, but they each have different mothers. The wrestling siblings are approximately sixteen years apart in age.
January 1, 2014
WWE superstar John Cena told the Huffington Post that his youngest brother has an inoperable brain tumor.
October 29, 2013
In a sign of just how valued he is within the company, Michael Hayes is still with WWE. He remains a fairly high ranking official for the company and has a big role backstage, even though he has had so many incidents and suspensions. WWE is even tossing around the idea of inducting the Freebirds into the hall of fame during Wrestlemania 32, which is rumored to be held in Texas.
April 14, 2014
For more than three decades, the record at the Superdome for a wrestling event was set by a show featuring Michael Hayes and Junkyard Dog in the main event. The two of them drew in 28,000 fans, which is a mark that WWE should easily blow away with Wrestlemania 30. As many already know, Hayes works backstage for the company and will be at the pay per view.
April 6, 2014
When Rey Mysterio decided to make a video appearance at TripleMania for AAA, the belief was that he was doing it as a shot at WWE. Rumors have surfaced that he is quite upset with the company in regards to his contract situation. Reports are now surfacing that Mysterio had a handshake agreement with Triple H that would have enabled him to walk away from the company. However, Vince McMahon reportedly decided to overrule that and force to remain under contract to WWE for another year.
August 20, 2014
Since neither man was involved in a feud, it looks like WWE is about to pair Antonio Cesaro and Sheamus in a feud for the United States Heavyweight Championship. The story between the two might have been initiated during WWE Main Event. Management has been known to drop stories abruptly, so if this does not make it to Monday Night Raw or Smackdown, then the feud is not going forward.
August 20, 2014
There was a little bit of confusion on Monday Night Raw. Fans were led to believe that Big Show and Mark Henry were forming a team, especially after they were given a victory over Luke Harper and Erick Rowan. Later on in the evening, Henry came out and started what looked like a feud with Alexander Rusev. The reason for all this is because WWE was not sure what they wanted to do, and the scripts overlapped. The decision to do a feud between Henry and Rusev was a last minute thing.
August 20, 2014
Everyone in the industry now knows that Alberto Del Rio and Rey Mysterio made appearances for AAA at the TripleMania pay per view. The belief is that WWE will be pursuing legal actions against the promotion, as management has been very quiet backstage about the incident. That has led many to believe that lawyers have advised them not to discuss the situation.
August 19, 2014
It will be interesting to see how WWE handles the promotion of the world heavyweight championship over the next few weeks. Brock Lesnar is not scheduled to be back on television for approximately a month. John Cena, who is returning next week, is expected to get his rematch story line. Paul Heyman is great at what he does, but management will be curious to see how the audience reacts to a missing champion.
August 19, 2014
A lot of eyes in the industry are on Alberto Del Rio right now, as many want to see if he will pursue a lawsuit against WWE. The company has reportedly banned him from working in the United States for a year. Back when Brock Lesnar filed a similar lawsuit, the judge was very close to ruling in his favor. Both sides agreed to a settlement instead. If Del Rio were to file the lawsuit and win the case, then that changes things in the industry quite a bit.
August 19, 2014
Earlier this week, Batista revealed that he was willing to work with Titus ONeil because he wanted to help his friend become a star in WWE. As of right now, management does not appear interested in the idea. While they do want to appease Batista since he is building his name in Hollywood, they seem more interested in using him against other big name performers instead.
August 19, 2014
Rumors are now floating around that one of the reasons why TNA parted ways with Vince Russo is due to the fact that he interviewed Daffney on his podcast show. There is said to be a good amount of backstage heat towards her because of the lawsuit that she filed against the company a couple of years back. Russo being involved with her is something that reportedly annoyed management.
August 19, 2014
Since Batista is now openly talking about what retirement match he would like to do, the belief within the industry is that they would not be shocked if he were to leave WWE in the near future. The success of Guardians of the Galaxy and the signing of the sequel basically ensures that Batista will be involved with the Marvel Universe, which is really thriving now, for the next several years.
August 19, 2014
While it appears that Bully Ray is on his way out of TNA once his contract expires in a few days, his tag team partner isn't going anywhere. Devon is reportedly under contract with the company until next year. As of this point, it is unclear what management will do if they are unable to come to terms on a new deal with Bully. Both sides are reportedly still in negotiations.
August 19, 2014
For those wondering about the final segment of Monday Night Raw this week, it was designed to write Dean Ambrose off of television. There were speculations that he was going to need time off to film a movie for WWE Studios, but the initial belief was that he would not need to miss television time. It now appears that the company is just going to take him off the road, so he can focus on filming.
August 19, 2014
It looks like the feud between Chris Jericho and Bray Wyatt will be continuing for another month. As of right now, WWE has the two of them penciled in for some sort of gimmick match at Night of Champions 2014. Each man has a victory on pay per view against the other, but the belief is that Jericho will be putting Wyatt over before taking off to focus on his music again.
August 19, 2014
Rumors are floating around right now that AJ Lee is going to be leaving WWE very soon. Those speculations were further flamed last night when she dropped the Divas Championship to Paige at Summerslam 2014. The root of the rumors stems from a comment that Jim Ross made on his blog. It was just something that the long time commentator was speculating upon.
August 18, 2014
Reports going around state that Rob Van Dam finished up his latest stint with WWE during the kickoff match at Summerslam 2014. His departure from the company had been expected since he only agreed to a short term contract. Some are under the belief that this might be the last stint for RVD since the audience has been a bit lackluster towards him this time around.
August 18, 2014
While management has seemingly given up on the Bo Dallas push, they do not appear to be in a rush to give him a release just yet. The belief is that WWE will keep him around for the time being and utilize him as a roster filler. Dallas is considered a good employee who shows up to work and does not cause trouble backstage. Another push seems to be out of the question, though.
August 18, 2014
When Brock Lesnar interrupted the birthday celebration for Hulk Hogan on Monday Night Raw last week, he went off script a bit. The former UFC Heavyweight Champion said, "Party's over, grandpa." That was not a line fed to him by the WWE creative department. Reports are surfacing that Lesnar took that jab on his own or had help from Paul Heyman in coming up with that line.
August 18, 2014
There are rumors floating around right now that Vince McMahon is not interested in seeing Kurt Angle making a return to WWE. However, that appears to just be speculation. While management has been trying to cut back on spending, the belief is that they would open the check book for Angle since he is a superb performer who can draw in a good amount of fans.
August 18, 2014
Feeling like he did not want to be forced out of the ring, Santino Marella is already working on making a comeback. The belief is that WWE wants that return to happen in their ring. The company still believes Marella to be an asset, as evident by the fact that they gave him a new three year contract a couple of months ago. No time frame has been given for the Marella return yet.
August 18, 2014
Reports are surfacing that there is some backstage heat between Vince McMahon and Triple H at the moment over the main event of Wrestlemania 31. McMahon wants Brock Lesnar to defend the title against the Rock, as he feels that those two guys would produce the biggest draw of a match for WWE. HHH, however, wants the company to elevate Roman Reigns by having him challenge Lesnar.
August 18, 2014
Rumors are floating around right now that Bully Ray has informed the TNA locker room that he will be leaving the company. That comes as a shock because the former world heavyweight champion had been gaining a bit of power backstage. His contract expires in September, and negotiations are said to be ongoing. The company has been locking up a handful of wrestlers over the last few weeks, so it's not impossible for them to work out another contract with Bully.

Thursday talk: USGS scientist on mercury accumulation in ecosystems
Original post made on Jun 24, 2009
will give a talk at the USGS offices in Menlo Park at 7 p.m. Thursday, June 25, about mercury accumulation in ecosystems.

Regarding mercury in the Coast Range, it may be of interest that Calistoga is located in Napa County (there is no Calistoga County in California), and that Clear Lake is in Lake county, in the Cache Creek basin, a tributary to the Sacramento River and San Francisco Bay. Cache Creek introduces approximately half the mercury delievered annually to the Sacramento River, and a good portion of that comes from the Sulphur Bank Mine on the edge of Clear Lake.

There may not be a Calistoga County in California, but there should be. I mean, think about it. It's a perfect name for a county.

Latest Player Updatesclose
Jonny Gomes
Sun Aug 17, 2014 11:02 pm Jonny Gomes had a rough night at the plate in Sunday's loss to the Braves, going 0-for-3 with a strikeout.
Fantasy Source Spin: The biggest strength that Gomes brings to the table is his ability to match left-handed pitching, but Mike Minor was able to keep him at by on Sunday. For the season, he sports a .232/.327/.342 slash line with six homers and 35 RBI in 228 at-bats.
Sat Aug 2, 2014 10:11 pm In his first game with the Athletics, Jonny Gomes put on a show for the faithful, going 2-for-4 with a pair of RBI and a run scored.
Fantasy Source Spin: With Jon Lester, Sam Fuld and Gomes all starring on Saturday, Billy Beane was quite pleased. Fuld played yesterday, while both Lester and Gomes were making their Oakland debuts. Gomes batted just .234/.329/.354 in 78 games earlier this season for Boston. Beane is betting on better over the next three months, counting on Gomes as the short-end of a platoon.
Thu Jul 31, 2014 10:10 am Athletics acquired OF Jonny Gomes and LHP Jon Lester from the Red Sox for OF Yoenis Cespedes.
Fantasy Source Spin: Gomes -- who was batting just .234/.329/.354 in 78 games this season for Boston and can become a free agent this winter -- is somewhat of a throw-in to this big Lester-for-Cespedes blockbuster deal. But the 33-year-old corner outfielder can rake left-handers and gives a nice boost to the A's bench. Stephen Vogt benefits most from the Cespedes departure.
Wed Jul 30, 2014 11:15 am ESPN's Jerry Crasnick reports that the Royals have "backed off" Jonny Gomes.
Fantasy Source Spin: The concern is that Gomes is limited to left field or the designated hitter spot, while the Royals are looking for someone who can play right field. Josh Willingham is also not a fit with Kansas City for the same reason. Gomes is making $5 million and will be a free agent after the season.
Source: Jerry Crasnick on Twitter
Sat Jul 19, 2014 12:53 am Jonny Gomes belted a pinch-hit two-run homer in the sixth inning on Friday, powering the Red Sox to a come-from-behind 5-4 victory over the Royals.
Fantasy Source Spin: With his dramatic batwork off the Red Sox bench, Gomes now ranks second in franchise history with six pinch-hit home runs, trailing only Ted Williams who had seven. With his strong clubhouse presence and ability to pummel left-handed pitching, Gomes could become a very attractive name on the trade market in the coming weeks.
Mon Jul 14, 2014 11:41 am ESPN's Jerry Crasnick reports that the Royals have made Jonny Gomes a "potential target."
Fantasy Source Spin: Kansas City is searching for a right-handed bat and Gomes, who will be a free agent this winter, should be one of the easier ones to get. He's batting just .234 with a .680 OPS in 67 total games this season for Boston, but the 33-year-old corner outfielder owns a career .266/.351/.461 slash line against left-handed pitching.
Source: Jerry Crasnick on Twitter
Sun Jun 22, 2014 9:07 pm Jonny Gomes went 3-for-5 with two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 10-inning, 7-6 win over the Athletics.
Fantasy Source Spin: The hits were Gomes' first since June 14, breaking an 0-for-10 slump. His biggest hit on the day was a bases-loaded single in the first inning, giving the Red Sox the early lead. The outfielder is hitting .238/.337/.369 on the season.
Sun May 25, 2014 4:39 pm Jonny Gomes was ejected from Sunday's game against the Rays during a bench clearing altercation in the seventh inning.
Fantasy Source Spin: Gomes had just given the Red Sox a huge lift with a pinch-hit two-run homer to tie the game in the top half of the inning. The Rays struck back for five in the bottom half though, and many Red Sox including Gomes took exception to Yunel Escobar swiping third base up 8-3 in the seventh inning. He charged in from left field to have words with him which started the incident.
Source: Tim Britton on Twitter
Tue May 20, 2014 11:15 pm Jonny Gomes went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's loss to the Blue Jays.
Fantasy Source Spin: Gomes brought the Red Sox back within three runs with his two-run blast off of J.A. Happ, his fourth of the year. The outfielder has been reliable for his club a year after helping them to a championship. Gomes is slashing .256/.343/.444 with 18 RBI.
Sat May 3, 2014 4:42 pm Jonny Gomes hit his fifth career grand slam Saturday in the win over the Athletics.
Fantasy Source Spin: It was some really smart hitting from Gomes; he saw Tommy Milone throw Mike Napoli a get-it-over curveball for strike one on his way to striking Napoli out with the bases loaded and thought he might get the same first pitch. He did, and he drove it just over the top of the Green Monster. It was Boston's league-high third grand slam of the year.
Thu May 1, 2014 5:39 pm Jonny Gomes is not in the lineup for the nightcap of Thursday's doubleheader against the Rays.
Fantasy Source Spin: David Ross, who caught the first game, will also take a seat against right-hander Chris Archer. Grady Sizemore will make the start in left field while A.J. Pierzynski will catch Felix Doubront.
Source: Sean McAdam on Twitter
Sun Apr 20, 2014 10:47 pm Jonny Gomes belted a three-run homer off Ubaldo Jimenez in Sunday's victory over the Orioles.
Fantasy Source Spin: The three-run blast got the Red Sox on the board in the sixth inning, keying what would be a dramatic come-from-behind victory. He finished the night 2-for-4 with a double as well, and is now hitting .225/.333/.425 on the season.
Fri Apr 11, 2014 10:28 pm Jonny Gomes went 2-for-5 with a solo homer Friday against the Yankees.
Fantasy Source Spin: The home run, a game-tying solo shot against CC Sabathia, was his first of the year. This was also his first multi-hit game of the season. Gomes should still get at-bats against left-handers moving forward, though things are about to get pretty complicated in Boston's outfield.
Tue Apr 8, 2014 1:48 pm Johnny Gomes will bat leadoff and play left field Tuesday against the Rangers.
Fantasy Source Spin: Gomes batted leadoff for the first time since 2007 last Thursday and he's doing it again Tuesday with left-hander Martin Perez on the hill for Texas. Grady Sizemore will start in center while Jackie Bradley, Jr. plays right.
Source: Tim Britton on Twitter
Thu Apr 3, 2014 2:48 pm Jonny Gomes is batting leadoff in Boston's starting lineup Thursday against the Orioles.
Fantasy Source Spin: It's his first time in the leadoff spot since August 2007, when he was a member of the Rays. Gomes, owner of a .244 career batting average and .335 career OBP, is doubtful to hit there often this year for the Red Sox.
Source: Tim Britton on Twitter
Tue Oct 29, 2013 5:04 pm Jonny Gomes will play left field Wednesday in Game 6 of the World Series at Fenway Park.
Fantasy Source Spin: Red Sox manager John Farrell is simply riding the hot hand at the moment. Gomes launched a series-shifting three-run bomb in Boston's Game 4 win on Sunday night.
Source: Brian MacPherson on Twitter
Sun Oct 27, 2013 11:58 pm Jonny Gomes blasted a three-run homer in the sixth inning on Sunday, powering the Red Sox to a 4-2 victory over the Cardinals and evening the World Series at two games apiece.
Fantasy Source Spin: Gomes, who was a late addition to the lineup after Shane Victorino was scratched with a sore back, wound up being the hero on baseball's biggest stage. With the score knotted at 1-1 and two outs in the sixth inning, a Dustin Pedroia single and David Ortiz walk set up the dramatic blast. Cardinals manager Mike Matheny called upon Seth Maness to relieve Lance Lynn, and Gomes greeted the soft-tossing rookie by smacking a 2-2 offering over the boards in left field. Gomes also drew a pair of walks on the night, finishing 1-for-2. The go-ahead homer was his first hit of the World Series.
Wed Oct 23, 2013 3:49 pm Jonny Gomes will start in left field for Game 1 of the World Series against the Cardinals on Wednesday.
Fantasy Source Spin: The Red Sox are 6-0 this postseason with Gomes in the lineup, so manager John Farrell has decided against starting Daniel Nava, even with right-hander Adam Wainwright on the hill for the Cardinals. The full Boston lineup: Jacoby Ellsbury CF, Shane Victorino RF, Dustin Pedroia 2B, David Ortiz DH, Mike Napoli 1B, Gomes LF, Xander Bogaerts 3B, Stephen Drew SS, David Ross C. Jon Lester will start the game for Boston.
Source: Tim Britton on Twitter
Mon Oct 21, 2013 4:08 pm Red Sox manager John Farrell indicated Monday that Jonny Gomes will likely start over Daniel Nava for Game 1 of the World Series against the Cardinals on Wednesday.
Fantasy Source Spin: Gomes has started over Nava in four of the last six games, something Farrell suggests is due to his intangibles, including his baserunning and defense in left field. It doesn't sound like any changes are in store, even with right-hander Adam Wainwright on the hill for St. Louis in Game 1. "Daniel Nava is certainly not forgotten," said Farrell. "To use every available guy we have, he's going to be involved in this. We haven't made out Wednesday's lineup yet, but can't go away from maybe a little bit of momentum that a certain lineup has provided for us."
Source: Boston Herald
Fri Oct 18, 2013 5:05 pm Jonny Gomes will start in left field in Saturday's ALCS Game 6.
Fantasy Source Spin: Red Sox manager John Farrell has mostly stuck with Gomes in left field even against right-handers, feeling that he brings intangibles to the table that Daniel Nava lacks. Gomes is batting just .190/.261/.238 over eight games this postseason.
Source: Rob Bradford on Twitter
Sat Oct 5, 2013 2:35 pm Jonny Gomes, who mashes left-handed pitching to the tune of .277/.377/.502 in his career, is starting for the Red Sox in left field against David Price in Game 2 of the ALDS on Saturday.
Fantasy Source Spin: The full lineup has Jacoby Ellsbury, Shane Victorino, Dustin Pedroia, David Ortiz, Mike Napoli, Gomes, Will Middlebrooks, Stephen Drew and David Ross.
Source: Tim Britton on Twitter
Fri Sep 27, 2013 10:38 pm Jonny Gomes went 3-for-4 with a solo homer, a walk, and three runs scored in Friday's win over the Orioles.
Fantasy Source Spin: Gomes started the season slow, but he's hitting .282 with 10 home runs and 40 RBI in 68 games dating back to the first week of June. Signed due to his reputation against left-handed pitching, he could be a valuable piece of the puzzle during the postseason.
Sat Sep 14, 2013 3:56 pm Jonny Gomes went 2-for-2 with an RBI single, two walks, and two runs scored in Saturday's win over the Yankees.
Fantasy Source Spin: Gomes hasn't been his usual lefty-killer self this season, but he managed a walk, an RBI single, and a double against CC Sabathia on Saturday. The 32-year-old is batting .240/.342/.421 with 12 home runs and 49 RBI in 108 games this season.
Sat Sep 7, 2013 4:42 pm Jonny Gomes finished 3-for-4 with a homer, four RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 13-9 victory against the Yankees.
Fantasy Source Spin: Every Boston starter recorded at least one hit. After a quiet scoreless first inning, Boston scored two runs in the second, three runs in the third, five runs in the fourth and two runs in the fifth. This was Gomes' first homer since Aug. 24 and his first four-RBI output since Aug. 6.
Sat Aug 24, 2013 7:36 pm Jonny Gomes slugged a three-run homer Saturday to help the Red Sox beat the red-hot Dodgers.
Fantasy Source Spin: Gomes took Dodgers starter Hyun-Jin Ryu deep in the top of the first inning as part of a four-run Red Sox frame. He's been a nice source of power all year for Boston.
Fri Jul 19, 2013 10:51 pm Jonny Gomes belted a two-run homer on Friday, powering the Red Sox to a 4-2 victory over Andy Pettitte and the Yankees.
Fantasy Source Spin: Gomes also doubled in the game, finishing 2-for-4. With the emergence of Daniel Nava, Gomes has been relegated primarily to platoon duty, seeing most of his work against left-handed pitchers. Still, he's delivered decent power production, smacking seven homers and driving in 24 runs in just 178 at-bats.
Wed Jul 3, 2013 11:14 pm Jonny Gomes lifted a pinch-hit, walk-off home run as the Red Sox beat the Padres 2-1 on Wednesday.
Fantasy Source Spin: Gomes was called on to bat against Luke Gregerson and came through with his sixth home run of the year. Of those, three have been of the pinch-hit variety.
Fri Jun 28, 2013 11:11 pm Jonny Gomes delivered a pinch-hit go-ahead RBI single in Friday's 7-5 win over the Blue Jays.
Fantasy Source Spin: Gomes entered Friday's action hitting just .197 against southpaws this season, but Red Sox manager John Farrell went with him over Daniel Nava against Brett Cecil in the seventh inning. The move paid off, as Gomes ripped a single past Maicer Izturis to put the Red Sox in front. Gomes owns a .277/.378/.502 career batting line against southpaws, so we still expect him to carve out a niche with the Red Sox, even if it doesn't result in much of the way of fantasy value.
Tue Jun 18, 2013 10:50 pm Jonny Gomes hit a walkoff two-run homer as the Red Sox rallied to beat the Rays on Tuesday night.
Fantasy Source Spin: Boston also won the first half of Tuesday's doubleheader with Tampa Bay. Gomes did not play in that earlier game and had not managed a hit through his first three at-bats when he came to the plate in the bottom of the ninth. The rest, as they say, is history.
