Fans Of The Speed Channel Are Pretty Upset About The Arrival Of Fox Sports 1
After reporting that the Speed channel was killed off in order to make room for ESPN-challenger Fox Sports 1, we got an unexpected amount of feedback from our readers — or, perhaps, Speed aficionados who learned from us that Speed was done and had something to say about it. The article has literally hundreds of comments that more or less say the same thing: "We want Speed, we don't want Fox Sports 1." This is a heretofore unheard sentiment that caught us by surprise.
We also received many emails that seemed to put the blame for Speed's demise on us. Why? Not sure. If you're not a Speed fan, you're probably wondering how mad someone could possibly be that a channel dedicated to motor sports is now a more general-interest sports network that includes NASCAR. We'd like to share just a few of the emails sent to us regarding this change, some of which seem to be raging at the universe, others upset with us directly (for some misinformed reason).
Update: Now with even more emails.
Please note, readers and Speed fans: We don't have anything to do with Fox Sports 1, Speed Channel, Fox Sports Media Group, 21st Century Fox or the programming decisions these entities make. Please direct your displeasure here.

Raj Kundra's journey from a bus conductor's son to a rich businessman

New Delhi: British businessman Raj Kundra is caught up in a big controversy as his name has surfaced in the IPL spot-fixing scandal. According to Delhi Police, he has admitted to have betted in matches along with his friend Umesh Goenka.
Though, Raj Kundra apparently tried to earn quick bucks in the IPL. However, his rise from a son of migrant to one of the richest Indians of Britain was not by luck. The self-made businessman worked his heart out to reach where he currently is.

NY Gubernatorial candidate a Ron Paul supporter ?!?!Submitted by celeste on Mon, 02/01/2010 - 13:47
This could be great !!!
Albany lawyer Warren Redlich anounced his candidacy for New York governor on Monday, Feb. 1st at 10am in the Legislative Correspondents Association Press Room in the Legislative Office Building. Currently serving on the Guilderland, NY Town Board, Redlich will seek the Republican and Libertarian Party http://ny.lp.org nominations. The theme of his campaign is "Stop Wasting Money." His website is http://www.wredlich.com/ny. (Full disclosure: Eric Sundwall and I have been working for months to get Redlich to run).
Redlich was the Albany lawyer for Ron Paul's presidential campaign and has waged two campaigns for Congress. He was the only elected Republican in New York to endorse Ron Paul.
He hopes to create a movement for regime change in New York uniting supporters of the Ron Paul and Tea Party movements with Greens, Democrats, independents and others who are likewise opposed to corporate welfare. He opposed the Wall Street bailouts.

Workers in Maine filled hand-held scoops and poured blueberries into tubs — the first of more than 80 million pounds of berries to be harvested and frozen in the next few weeks.
This year's crop is threatened, however, by a red-eyed, weak-flying fruit fly.
The spotted wing drosophila first showed up in New England in 2011 and threatens not just blueberries, but also raspberries, blackberries, and late-season strawberries.
Judy Collins, an assistant scientist at the University of Maine School of Biology and Ecology, said the fly "can cause terrible losses."
Collins's team is experimenting to see whether a yeast-and-sugar solution could attract the flies away from the berries.
Its rapid reproduction rate — 10-12 generations in a year — and the suddenness of its appearance make it worrisome for soft-fruit farmers across the nation.
Some farmers are hiring more pickers or trying to ramp up their freezing operations to prevent devastating losses.
Ed Flanagan, president and chief executive of Jasper Wyman & Son, said he was confident the company would conquer the pest.

We headed out to an area baseball diamond to talk with fans about the suspension of Ryan Braun by Major League Baseball.
At the D. C. Everest High School we found young players using the batting cages.
They told us they are disappointed about Braun and feel like he let the fans down.
"He lied about using steroids and now he is caught and he lied and let the Brewers down and the people of Wisconsin down," said 13-year-old Christian Medick of Weston.
Former D. C Everest High School baseball player John Dzurka said he has always looked up to Braun but now he won't hold him in such high regard.
"The scandal hurts not only Braun, but all of the players in the MLB, " said Dzurka.
Braun is the first player the MLB suspended in its investigation into Biogenesis and accusations that it provided steroids for professional players.
The MLB suspended Braun for 65 games without pay.

Which is for you: PLC or ARC?
What will be the relationship between corn and soybean prices over the next five years? Will substantial corn acreage and yields keep prices low? Will Chinese demand for US soybeans keep soybean prices higher than the 2.5 average compared to corn? Will high prices for nitrogen fertilizer push typical corn acres into soybeans? And the ultimate question is which farm program should be applied to which crop? The decision will need to be made soon, not only for the 2014 crop, but the 2018 crop as well. As your teenage daughter would say, OMG!
The new farm program, which will be in place for the next five years, after the expected Senate approval of the Farm Bill and President Obama's promised signature, offers choices that farmers may have, but their choices will be effective until September 30, 2018. While that is similar to the ACRE program of the last Farm Bill, the choices in the new farm program can be split from one crop to another. For example, the Price Loss Coverage (PLC) and its system of reference prices can be applied to soybeans and the rolling average revenue support system of the Agricultural Risk Coverage (ARC) plan can be applied to corn. There are benefits and pitfalls in both, and those must be weighed carefully before sign-up says Carl Zulauf, agricultural policy economist at Ohio State University.
Zulauf says, "The producer may also elect individual farm ARC, but this election applies to the entire farm. If no choice is made, the farm defaults to PLC. All producers on a farm must make the same election or face potential loss of payments for the 2014 crop."
Price Loss Coverage
The PLC plan, developed by the House, uses reference prices, formerly known as target prices, and payments would occur if the average market price for the crop year is less than the reference price. Those prices are $5.50 for wheat, $3.70 for corn, and $8.40 for soybeans. While those may seem low to Cornbelt farmers, the reference prices for southern commodities are relatively higher.
Unlike the ARC plan, the PLC plan carries eligibility for a special crop insurance policy called Supplemental Coverage Option, which pays part of the deductible, but an operator must shoulder the risk for a minimum of 14% of the loss. The so-called "shallow loss coverage" comes with 65% of the premium subsidized for the county-based policies.
Agricultural Risk Coverage
The ARC plan, developed by the Senate, may be a more preferred program for Cornbelt producers. Payments would occur when actual crop revenue is below the ARC guarantee for the crop year, and that guarantee is 86% of a county-based yield formula multiplied by a national average price. ARC also offers an individual farm plan for the entire farm, not crop by crop as the county plan offers. The ARC payment is based on national average prices over the prior five years with the high and low discarded.

I sincerly appreciate your continued readership and am hopeful this transition will be a smooth one.
Sabato speaks about UVA controversy
It seems that no one has been as disappointed with the leadership controversy at UVA than one of the most high-profile members of the University's faculty, political science professor Larry Sabato.
Sabato, one of the most quoted political analysts in America has more than 39 thousand followers on twitter and has made his opinion on the case very clear.
Among other things he called on Governor Bob McDonnell to get involved. Something the Governor did today when he sent the Board of Visitors a letter warning them that unless they come to some sort of resolution by Tuesday, he will ask for their resignations.
Kelly Avellino covered that portion of the story for NBC12 on Friday.
I spoke to Sabato at length about the UVA controversy, a situation that he has not given any TV interviews about. Our interview came before McDonnell issued his letter to the Board, but Sabato's comments are still relevant considering the situation is still very much unresolved.
You can see his full comments below:
McDonnell to greet Obama at airport; attend Prince George event
In a show of bipartisanship, this Friday, Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell will greet President Barack Obama at Richmond International Airport and then attend the president's event in Prince George County.
Obama is scheduled to speak about the economy at the growing Rolls-Royce plant in Prince George. Earlier this week, McDonnell announced that the company was planning a major expansion. Obama is expected to talk about that expansion during his remarks.
A sitting governor welcoming the president to his state is hardly breaking news, but in this highly contested election season it is no longer a given. Obama had made many visits to Virginia, many of them short jaunts across the Potomac. McDonnell has attended very few of those events, but he did attend an event in Norfolk during the president's summer bus tour of North Carolina and Virginia. He also met the president on the tarmac in Hampton in the spring of 2010 before Obama's commencement address at Hampton University. The governor rode in the motorcade with Obama and attended his speech.
All of McDonnell's meetings with the president have been largely uneventful. This despite the republican governor being a big critic of Obama's policies, a top surrogate for his potential opponent Mitt Romney and perhaps a candidate for Vice President.
Obama has dealt with at least one dust up on an airplane tarmac. Earlier this year, Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer challenged the president over his immigration policy during their brief meeting after he de-planed. The exchange left behind a lingering image of Brewer with her finger pointed in Obama's face.
Don't expect anything that exciting this time around. McDonnell and Obama are both hoping to take part of the credit for Rolls-Royce expansion. Senate candidate Tim Kaine, a former governor and an ally of the president applauded both sides for their bi-partisan cooperation to make the deal happen.
We will have complete coverage of the president's visit on NBC12, including live reports from the airport and Prince George.
ELECTION DAY: The view from the ground
Good Morning! It is election day. Perhaps the least dramatic of the four year election cycle, but there are still some important story lines.
Here is what we are following:
Control of the Virginia Senate: This is the story line that has the potential to have the biggest long term impact. A GOP flip in control gives Gov. Bob McDonnell's party control of all three layers of Virginia's government. It will make his agenda much easier to push through, while at the same time giving him complete ownership of the Commonwealth's success/failure for the remainder of his term.
If the flip happens it will also provide more evidence of McDonnell's popularity in Virginia. He has campaigned heavily with republicans in tight races. Gaining the four seats necessary could send a powerful message to GOP Presidential candidates looking for a running mate that could help deliver a key swing state.
Henrico Commonwealth's Attorney: This race took a sharp turn when republicans tried unsuccessfully to oust their chosen candidate Matt Geary. He wouldn't go and that forced Del. Bill Janis to run as an independent and allowed democrats to field a strong candidate in Shannon Taylor. This race has had a little bit of everything and should lead to an interesting finish.
Voter turnout: With no statewide or federal candidates on the ballot, turnout is expected to be dismal. It could be 10% or less in some places. It will be especially slow in the Richmond metro, where there is not one truly competitive race in the General Assembly. In fact both parties rolled out their heavy hitters for statewide get out the vote efforts over the weekend, and they both ignored Richmond.
TELL ME WHAT YOU SEE: As always, I'm looking for the view from the ground. Tweet and Facebook me what you are seeing and I will post the dispatches below (pics too!). Then tune in tonight for the latest results on NBC12. Happy Election Day!!
From the ground…
Carmen Crater: I voted in Cumberland about 10:30 this morning…was quite busy for that time of day…took 45 minutesof standing in line to vote, but well worth it……………anyone who doesn't vote has absolutely no right to give their opinions or COMPLAINTS…be part of the system and maybe…just maybe we can make things better…
Vic Tench I just voted in PG not many people there just a few people in front and behind me we were all in line no more then 3 min.
Pat Coffey voted at Beaverdam Elementary – saw John Cox there about 9:30 this morning.
Brandon Satterwhite Voted here in Henrico, I was the only one there.
Erin Sutton I voted at pole green elementary in Hanover co. Sean Davis was shaking hands. Sadly there where not too many voters… I'm hoping I just came at a down time.
Janet Murphey I am in Charles City County — voted a little while ago..small county didn't have to wait too long (1 person in front of me)
Mark Hopkins I voted. A good number of people at the Chesterfield polls.
Andrea Stephenson Epps: Was # 488 at Swift Creek in Chesterfield 10 min. ago. Higher than I expected before the rush hour
Lynn Davis Cranmer Voted in rural King William County about 10:30 this morning. One person ahead of me, Two or three behind me. (Most people round these parts – vote before and after work, I think.)
Betty Paschall Tate No one there but me and the poll workers this morning at Hening Elem. at 7:45am. Please everyone get out and vote …it is a privilege!!!!!
Classic: Governor McDonnell happens to run into former Governor Doug Wilder at their Richmond polling location.
@TheBenBrown: I voted absentee. Today is just another day…
From my polling place in Chesterfield, pretty slow I was voter 220
Robin Belcher Liesfeld Yes – pretty steady at the Centerville precinct in Goochland. I see that's also been busy in Hadensville. I predict a pretty good turnout county-wide. I believe there may be some surprises, because many Goochland citizens want change!
Susan Coral Moss It was a bit quiet in Chester (Bermuda District-Wells). I was the 271th voter at 10:30. There wasn't any problems. I was expecting more fireworks especially with the heated Supervisor race down here in Chester.
Margie Rutherford Gausby I voted in Ashland. They moved the polling place. It was difficult to find the correct room at the school to vote, I think it will impact turnout there. I was ready to give up and I ways vote.
Mary Eldredge Only had to wait about 30 seconds to vote this morning at Beaufont Towers (Precinct 412). There were only three voters when I was there about 9:15.
Ron Gallier i left my house at 10 am to vote and back home at 10:25 am i voted at donahoe elem school
@rosscatrow: I saw a big empty gymnasium.
@DaeHarris: I saw basketball hoops, a few volunteers and 1 other woman voting
@KDavisDesign: lots of signs, friendly people willing to help, and lots of people outside the library shoving information in your face.
@marioc: pretty quiet over at Clover Hill Elementary. At 6:30am I was No. 42.
Connie Warriner Mason I voted in PG. Steady flow. Nothing to exciting…did have a paper jam but was fixed quickly with no issues.pretty quiet over at Clover Hill Elementary. At 6:30am I was No. 42.
Al Neill In Hadensville (District 1 in Goochland) they were ahead of the count for the same time last election day. There had already been over 100 voters by 7AM. generally I think about 700 vote.
Tommi Brandt Just got back from voting in Powhatan. Not very busy right now.
@JaysonRachael Lots of fog when we voted @ 6am!
Scott votes down "In God We Trust"
Never one to follow the crowd, Rep. Bobby Scott (D-Newport News) was one of only 9 Members of Congress to vote against a resolution to reaffirm "In God We Trust' as the official motto of the United States of America.
Rep. Scott's aide David Dailey explains the purpose of the measure:
H.Con.Res. 13 is only a non-binding resolution resolving that Congress "reaffirms" the motto and encourages the public display of the motto. The resolution does not have the force of law and would not be presented to the President for his signature if passed by the Senate. Even without this resolution, the 1956 statute (Pub. L. No. 84-851) establishing the motto would still remain the law of the land.
It was sponsored by Rep. Randy Forbes (R-Chester).
Scott said the resolution is inconsistent with the pledge he took when he entered congress to "uphold the Constitution."
Scott's full statement is blow:
Scott Statement on Congress' Vote Reaffirming "In God We Trust" as the official motto of the United States
|WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Robert C. "Bobby" Scott (VA-03) issued the following statement today on Congress' vote on H. Con. Res. 13, a resolution reaffirming "In God We Trust" as the official motto of the United States and supporting and encouraging the public display of the national motto in all public buildings, public schools, and other government institutions:"Today we face the highest deficit in U.S. history; an unemployment rate of 9.1% and a growing number of people losing access to unemployment insurance each day; schools that lack the resources to give our students a proper education; 17.2 million households that are food insecure; and children who by the very circumstances of their birth are injected onto a Cradle to Prison Pipeline. Instead of facing these challenges and creating jobs to help American people make sure they have a roof over their head and food on their table, we are debating whether or not to affirm and proliferate a motto that was adopted in 1956 and is under no threat of attack. In addition to diverting attention away from substantive issues, the resolution is unconstitutional."When we were sworn in as Members of Congress, we took an oath to uphold the Constitution. This resolution is inconsistent with that oath and therefore I voted 'no' on the resolution."
In addition, Congressman Scott's statement from the Judiciary Committee markup on the resolution earlier this year contains a legal analysis and is below.

Obama to speak about first responders in Chesterfield
One look at the invited guests for this afternoon's event in Chesterfield and you know what President Barack Obama will be talking about.
In a very small venue, the president is expected to lay out how his American Jobs Act will benefit local police, fire and rescue crews.
The president spoke this morning at a military base in Hampton. He was joined at that event by Governor Bob McDonnell. McDonnell, his wife and President and Mrs. Obama had a private, 10 minute meeting at that event.
Here is the dispatch from that meeting according to the governor's office:
The Governor and Va First Lady Maureen McDonnell met privately with the President and First Lady Michelle Obama for approx 10 minutes.
It was a friendly visit.
The Governor and Mrs McDonnell welcomed them to Virginia and the Governor thanked the President for making the hiring of veterans a priority. The Governor let the President know that there is much common ground to be had on this important issue and he looks forward to hearing the President's proposals on the matter. Ensuring that our veterans who have selflessly served our nation can find the good paying jobs they deserve is a top priority of the McDonnell Administration.
The Governor again made the case for federal assistance for Louisa County in the wake of the August earthquake and the two discussed Virginia's coming appeal of FEMA's initial rejection of that assistance request.
The Governor also spoke to the President about the strong support in this community and across the Commonwealth for making Fort Monroe a National Park, and his strong personal support of such a designation.
The president is expected here in Chesterfield at around 2:40. We will carry the event in its entirety on NBC12-TV and NBC12.com.
Big night for Decision Virginia!
Thanks to Politico!
Sunshine Week on NBC12
This week was Sunshine Week across the country, an effort to bring a attention to transparency and openness of government. We took advantage of the opportunity to introduce you to two of my favorite organizations doing incredible work shining a light on government business.
On Thursday we talked to Megan Rhyne. She is the Executive Director of the Virginia Coalition for Open Government. They lobby the state legislature to prevent limits on public access to government work. They also help average citizens obtain information by helping them with the FOIA process (Freedom of Information Act)
We talked about all of the good things VACOG is working on during a live interview on NBC12 First at 4:
Then on Friday we welcomed David Poole, the Executive Director of the ever expanding Virginia Public Access Project. VPAP is an incredible tool to track down everything you could ever want to know about about campaign finance. A resource that is very important in a state like Virginia that has no campaign donation limit.
VPAP recently expanded and is now covering donations to County Supervisors in Henrico and Chesterfield. An incredibly important addition to a group of leaders that don't often get much attention.
My conversation with David is below:
VPAP is also doing some incredible work tracking the progress of redistricting in the Commonwealth.

We stayed at Beach Club following a two week tour backpacking around Vietnam. It was the perfect way to destress and finish our trip. The staff are helpful, the food is some of the best along the beach and the hotel is straight onto the sea. There is no beach to sit on, but there are sandy areas just by the steps which are part of the hotel down to the beach which have hammocks (I recommend the hammocks!) and sun loungers so it is near as damn it the same.
It is a smaller, more personal feel then some of the other hotels along the beach and taxis are very cheap into the main town.
The rooms are simple, but clean and spacious. There was no hot water, but it wasn't need it as the cool showers were very refreshing given the temperatures.
For the money, you can't beat the Beach Club.

Hollywood Prospectus Podcast: The Upfronts, Battleship, Sunday-Night Shows, and More
It's upfronts season in New York City, when all the networks are spinning their new fall shows as fast as they can. To celebrate, Chris Ryan and I took a first pass at a bunch of them (1:10), separating the maybe-winners (Fox's The Mindy Project, NBC's Revolution) from the kinda-losers (NBC's Next Caller, Fox's on-the-nose-like-bifocals-titled The Mob Doctor). We also touched on NBC's returning Thursday-night lineup and what to expect when you're expecting The Office to be bad and Community to be buried on Friday nights. Some conversation about our Sunday-night anchors, Mad Men (15:40) and Game of Thrones (22:10), helped ease the pain. Then it was off to the multiplexes, where Chris gushed with excitement over Battleship (27:30) while I rolled my eyes at The Amazing Spider-Man (32:45). We finished up by defending the honor of rapper Freeway (37:50), our fellow Philadelphian, and unveiling the latest entry into our Double Down Summer Reading Club (43:45), Alan Furst, whose stylish, atmospheric World War II thrillers (including The Polish Officer and The World at Night) should be more than enough to erase any painful memories of wisecracking Naval petty officer Rihanna. Boom, indeed.

No snow is never a problem at New Hampshire Grass Drags
A freestyle rider floats through the air during the Rave X performance at the New Hampshire Snowmobile Association's annual Grass Drags and Water Cross races in Fremont last year. (UNION LEADER FILE)
Snow will be on the minds of the estimated 40,000 people expected at the New Hampshire Grass Drags and Water Cross competition this weekend. The event at Brookvale Farm on Martin Road begins Friday and runs through Sunday.
Professional freestyle rider Levi LaVallee will also bring his team and be available to sign autographs. LaVallee is a nine-time Winter X Games medalist and holds the world record for the longest snowmobile distance jump at 412 feet.
Doherty said some 300 riders are planning to participate this year, including amateurs who compete Friday night and Saturday afternoon.
In addition to the races, nearly 100 vendors will be selling snowmobile gear and other equipment.
The event also serves as the New Hampshire Snowmobile Association's largest fundraiser of the year.
A three-day pass is $40. Children under 12 are free.

The channel of monetary transmission to demand: evidence from the market for automobile credit
AbstractIn response to tight money, both consumer loans and consumption fall. In this paper, I ask whether there is any causality running from loans to consumption by focusing on hw the composition of automobile finance between bank and nonbank sources of credit changes in response to unanticipated innovations in monetary policy. The results indicate that contractionary monetary policy reduces the supply of bank consumer loans, which in turn produces a decline in real consumption. The evidence is therefore supportive of a credit channel theory of monetary transmission to aggregate consumption. Furthermore, the nature of automobile finance is uniquely suited to identifying which of two possible sub-channels is relatively more important, and suggests the results are more likely consistent with a bank lending channel than with a pure balance sheet channel.

Ever had a reoccurring dream and you want it to be analyzed? Post it here. Be polite to people no matter how crazy their dream is.
I had a reoccurring dream the other night, it was weird, I have had this same dream every great once in awhile (only had it like 3 times). It starts at night time and I'm in my house (either my room or a living room) and I'll look out a window and I'll be real close to the window and I'll see a person looking in as if they're a robber and they don't think I notice them. (This is where is gets weird) I'll notice them and start yelling, just "Argh! Ahhh!" or something like that and then they'll start yelling the same way, and then I'll get freaked out and call for help. Normally after that then some other stuff happens that's different and all. So what do you guys think this means?

Taryn Terrell
Real Name
Taryn Terrell
Date of Birth
December 28, 1985
Place of Birth
When Bobby Lashley made his return on TNA Lockdown 2014, fans immediately began to speculate as to whether it was a one time thing or if the former WWE star was back full time. In this video, the MMA fighter informs fans that he is back on a permanent basis and is hoping to win some championships in the company.
March 10, 2014
While most MMA fighters will swear that they prefer to let their fists do the talking, being able to speak is an essential part of promoting. That is why Jon Jones, who many view as the best overall fighter in UFC, is seeking ways to improve that particular part of his game. Rumors have been floating around that people in his camp are actually interested in hiring Paul Heyman, who essentially gets paid by WWE to speak, to help.
August 5, 2014
Some interesting news coming out of TNA, as Bellator has now announced that Bobby Lashley will be making his MMA debut for their company in September. The current world heavyweight champion is scheduled to fight against veteran Josh Burns at the Mohegan Sun Arena. The belief is that Spike heavily pushed to make this happen as Bellator and TNA are two of their top performing brands.
July 16, 2014
With his career in MMA coming to a close soon, Rashad Evans wants to make the jump from UFC to WWE. Rumors are floating around right now that he has already contacted WWE to gauge their interest in signing him. Vince McMahon is not a huge fan of MMA, but he does know that UFC fighters have name value. Triple H is reportedly said to be interested in bringing Evans on board.
July 10, 2014
While the former UFC champion continues to campaign publicly for a return to the company, WWE has continued to ignore Ken Shamrock. The MMA legend revealed during a recent interview that he has again attempted to make contact with people backstage and again they have refused to speak with him. Shamrock appears to be growing frustrated with the situation, as he is now telling people that WWE is falling.
May 18, 2014
Even though he is now a WWE star again, Brock Lesnar still keeps up with the world of MMA. The former UFC Heavyweight Champion recently contacted Dana White to ask the company president for a favor. Lesnar needed help convincing close friend Pat Berry to retire because his health was being jeopardized. White did not feel that he had enough sway to make Berry quit the sport.
May 12, 2014
Since the video game was sweeping the nation, WCW decided to capitalize on the popularity of the Mortal Kombat series by creating wrestling characters that were similar to the ones in the game. Bryan Clark, Ernest Miller, Glacier and Chris Kanyon were given characters that were part MMA fighters and part superheroes.
March 20, 2014
During a recent interview, Ken Shamrock was asked to compare Vince McMahon and Dana White. The MMA legend stated that it was easier to work for the WWE CEO than it was to work with the UFC president. McMahon and White are both known for being quite eccentric. The belief is that Shamrock chose McMahon because he wants back in with the company.
March 13, 2014
A picture of Vladimir Kozlov doing MMA, in case you're wondering what the former WWE star has been doing with his time since leaving the company a couple of years back.
March 13, 2014
After his big MMA fight in May against King Mo, Rampage Jackson will start training for professional wrestling. Bjorn Rebney, the CEO of Bellator, stated that he has hired coaches and trainers to come in and teach Jackson the finer points of being a wrestler. He also noted that he keeps in contact with Dixie Carter, so Jackson will be working with TNA again soon.
March 13, 2014
There were some speculations about his return to the company because he visited backstage at Monday Night Raw a couple of weeks ago, but Bobby Lashley currently does not have any plans on returning to WWE. He has not ruled out that possibility down the line, but for now, he is still focused on being an MMA fighter.
March 7, 2014
CM Punk was not the only former WWE star that attended the UFC event in Las Vegas over the weekend. Steve Austin was there as well. He has been frequently spotted at MMA shows, especially back when Brock Lesnar was still fighting. No word yet on whether or not Punk and Austin got together for a discussion that night.
February 24, 2014
While he has largely avoided the public since leaving WWE, it appears that UFC is too much of a draw for CM Punk. The former world heavyweight champion attended the MMA show in Las Vegas this weekend, where he watched it at ringside with UFC president Dana White. Punk was also spotted with Eve Torres and her husband afterwards.
February 23, 2014
While a lot of fans are aware that he has been participating in MMA for the last couple of years, very few actually know how good MVP has become at the sport. This picture of him winning the gold medal at the IBJJF Houston Open should help people understand that this is not just a hobby to the former United States champion.
February 23, 2014
An opponent for Bobby Roode at the Wrestle-1 Outbreak pay per view has been chosen. He will be stepping into the ring against veteran wrestler Masakatsu Funaki, who is viewed as one of the greatest MMA fighters in the history of Japan. Funaki has had a couple of legitimate fights with Ken Shamrock over the years.
February 21, 2014
Since he left WWE a couple of years back, Vladimir Kozlov has been doing a little MMA training and a little acting. Based on his Twitter account, however, it seems like his full time job is living, as he is constantly posting pictures of himself at various social functions. He posted this picture recently of himself and his attractive girlfriend.
February 19, 2014
It appears that Chavo Guerrero and Rampage Jackson have formed a close friendship as of late. The two of them live near one another, and their sons play football together. They're actually trying to do business together. Some sources are stating that a reality television show is in the works. A possible MMA related business has been rumored as well.
February 17, 2014
MMA fighters Jason Miller and Phil Baroni are calling out CM Punk over Twitter. The two former UFC stars each posted a message recently about the former WWE star. Miller appears to be joking, as he mentioned that the fight should be in a Dairy Queen parking lot. However, Baroni is more straight forward and stated that the fight can happen in Bellator.
February 16, 2014
While Vince McMahon does not publicly admit that the two companies are competing for revenue, WWE is currently concerned about UFC, as the two promotions are holding events at the American Airlines Center in Dallas in March. The feeling backstage is that fans might not be willing to attend a wrestling show the night after an MMA show.
February 15, 2014
Rampage Jackson has an MMA fight scheduled for the end of February. While some would believe that Bellator would send him to Impact Wrestling to do some promotional work, there appears to be very little talk within TNA of that happening. The two companies still have a working agreement, but it appears that it is not being utilized as much now.
February 14, 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
For those that missed Impact Wrestling this week, Gail Kim is the new TNA Knockouts Champion after defeating Angelina Love in a match. Rumors are floating around that the company made the title switch because they want to use the belt to enhance an upcoming program between Gail and the returning Taryn Terrell. Some feel that this will lead to TNA giving the belt to Taryn before the end of the year.
July 4, 2014
A picture of TNA Knockout Taryn Terrell pulling down on her blue bikini to show us all a little bit more of her breasts.
June 27, 2014

June 8, 2014
It has been known for quite some time now that Taryn Terrell was going to be returning to TNA now that her child has been born. Rumors are heating up that her return to Impact Wrestling will be taking place this month. Some are even stating that it could take place as soon as next week. Taryn is viewed highly by Dixie Carter and TNA management, so expect a big push to be given to her soon.
June 5, 2014
The TNA Knockouts website has undergone a bit of a makeover, with the company making some modifications to the layout and adding some new performers. A quick glance at the site shows that TNA now has nine Knockouts on the roster. Some new pictures of ODB, Christy Hemme, Velvet Sky, Taryn Terrell, Gail Kim, Santana Garrett, Angelina Love, Madison Rayne and Brooke Tessmacher have been uploaded.
May 31, 2014
While it is almost all but certain that she will be making a return to the company this summer, there are also rumors floating around that TNA is going to give Taryn Terrell a huge push when she does come back. Expect to see her being thrown into a feud with Angelina Love for the Knockouts Championship. TNA has always been pretty high on her work, especially during the period before she left after becoming pregnant.
May 20, 2014
While Taryn Terrell was pregnant, she always kept the door open for a TNA return, stating that she has not accomplished everything that she wanted in professional wrestling. It looks like that comeback will be taking place this summer, as Taryn recently did a photo shoot for the company. The Knockout appears to be in great shape already.
May 7, 2014

May 7, 2014
While no official date has been confirmed yet, rumors have it that Taryn Terrell is expected to be back with TNA by the summer. She gave birth a little over a month ago and has been working out fervently since then. She left the company on very good terms. In fact, TNA still has her listed on their website as a performer.
April 20, 2014

April 13, 2014
When Taryn Terrell initially left TNA, many were wondering as to the reason why she would leave the company when he stardom was on the rise. It was later revealed that she was pregnant and expecting her first child. Taryn is now officially a mom, as the former Knockout has given birth to a baby girl named Emerson.
March 3, 2014
Through Instagram, Taryn Terrell posted this baby bump picture of herself. The former TNA Knockout is now approaching 39 weeks of pregnancy.
February 28, 2014
"RIP Mae Young. I'm so thankful & honored to have had the opportunity to meet her a few times."
January 10, 2014

Securing Support for Customer Experience Investment
Insurance Experts' Forum, September 24, 2013
Customer experience is increasingly becoming a crux of good business for insurers, yet, investing money in shoring up customer service operations can still be a tough sell – where's the ROI?
"Everyone gives lip service to customer service, but when you get down to brass tacks, it's cost," said John Goodman, vice chairman, CCMC LLC, a customer experience consulting firm, while at the PCI Technology Conference in San Antonio on Monday. "A lot of CIOs get it, but it comes down to how you show the potential for improvement, how do you quantify it?"
Throughout his hour-long presentation, Goodman made the argument seem clear.
With his most convincing, direct data, he pointed out that the customers most at risk of being lost to competitors are those who experience problems but don't complain.
First, he explained, "you build the business case by getting data from going to a sample of your customers, and saying did you have any problems, did you tell anybody at the company about it, if so, were you satisfied, mollified or dissatisfied after that?"
By asking customers this, Goodman found that among the customers experiencing a problem or concern, only one quarter of them contacted the company. Then a data breakdown of the likelihood of renewing with or recommending a company among each set of respondents found that customers who experience a problem, seek help, and are subsequently disappointed with that help are only slightly less likely to renew/recommend than those who don't seek help at all.
Also interesting from this set of data, customers who complain and are satisfied with the company's response are the customers most likely to repurchase, even among those who don't experience a problem at all. Goodman explained that helping a customer through a problem can help build a bond that adds to the customer's loyalty, to the point that one of his client's once proposed building a fixable problem into the process so that customer service could be there to help – the idea did not get seconded.
The most effective way to do this, according to Goodman, is to own up to common problems or concerns with the process and pre-empt them if possible. Otherwise, he explained, most customers don't communicate the problems they experience due to a behavior called "trained hopelessness." Goodman has a pet phrase for combating this behavior: "In this industry, you should be able to do psychic pizza a lot."
Psychic pizza is a concept Goodman uses often with insurers. It's derived from a hypothetical where a consumer mentally decides they want pizza, only to hear a pizza deliverer knock on their door moments later. Goodman believes insurers are in a position – with the necessary touch points and data capabilities – to address customer needs or problems before the customer has a chance to be hindered by them.
Goodman explained why providing great service is more cost-effective than just good service: "Proactively providing information on how to avoid problems or get more out of your product gets you a 32 percent lift on average for a repurchase or recommend, more than any other factor taken into account, including personal relationships developed over months and no unpleasant surprises."
His suggestion? In a confirmation or welcome e-mail after a purchase is made, present the three pain points or problems most often suffered by customers, as well as the information required to avoid them; customers will not have had a chance to form a negative opinion, but will be willing to help themselves avoid the pitfalls.
He warned insurers that marketing will most likely disagree with this strategy. However, he said, "negative word of mouth can trump marketing: USAA gets more than 75 percent of all of its new customers from personal referrals."
Goodman's advice for beginning to improve word-of-mouth and build a business case is to find a couple quick wins. Seek out common frustrations until you find a couple that are caused simply by inefficient processes, which should result in saved time for internal staff and avoided strife for customers. Once momentum is going, buy-in for more thorough Voice of Customer (VOC) research and eventually a bigger customer experience investment should be easier.
At the end of the day, CFO buy-in is crucial. Goodman found that in a recent survey, "Where buy-in existed, 40 percent of VOC processes were very effective in getting things fixed, and 55 percent had significant increases in customer satisfaction."
And in today's increasingly consumer-centric market, every department, from underwriting to marketing, stands to gain from an improved customer satisfaction.

How did the 32% lift in renewal with proactive communication get proven? This supports our direction and learning but we struggle to get as factual as you have here. I Would like to be able to quote that information.

Couldn't agree more wholeheartedly with this analysis. However, using USAA here -- an outlier in the industry with a tight-wed niche, military families -- is largely a self-fulfilling prophecy rather than a conclusive argument about the efficacy of WOM. The argument here would be so much stronger if based on similar stats from a MetLife, Pru, or New York Life, where it certainly would not be 75% but would still be an impressive number.
Posted by: Kenneth H | September 27, 2013 12:48 PM
I like your ideas. Are there any off the shelf software programs out there that can accomplish these efforts to be proactive and stay in touch with the client regarding the products the have purchased from you?
