Dame Elisabeth Murdoch passes away at 103
Celebrated philanthropist and matriarch of the Murdoch empire, Dame Elisabeth Murdoch, has passed away at her Langwarrin home surrounded by family at the age of 103.
Her son, News Corporation chairman Rupert Murdoch, said his mother would be mourned by thousands of Australians who had been touched by her generosity and decades of kindness.

"We have lost the most wonderful mother but we are all grateful to have had her love and wisdom for so many years,'' he said in a statement released on behalf of her extended family.
"Throughout her life, our mother demonstrated the very best qualities of true public service.
"Her energy and personal commitment made our country a more hopeful place and she will be missed by many.''

Speaking with Neil Mitchell, Premier Ted Baillieu described Dame Elisabeth as a 'beacon of love' who was loved by many people.
LISTEN: Premier Ted Baillieu with Neil Mitchell
Dame Elisabeth was a personal friend of Mr Baillieu's mother and said despite her family's wealth, she was 'unpretentious'.
"She just cared so much about other people and she never, ever worried about herself. I think it's an incredibly endearing and charming quality."
Mr Baillieu said Dame Elisabeth who took great enjoyment out in writing and receiving handwritten letters.
"I'm the beneficiary and the recipient of some beautiful handwritten letters from Dame Elisabeth in her 100s and I treasure them," he said.

An avid lover of gardens, Mr Baillieu said a garden in her name would be fitting memorial to 'one of the most wonderful Australians and Victorians of all time'.
"I think in tribute to her extraordinary love of gardens and all things landscaped, there is an opportunity and an idea there," he said.
"I think even the trees and the rosebushes will be shedding a tear today."
Speaking with 3AW Breakfast, News Limited Victoria Managing Director of Editorial, Peter Blunden, said Dame Elisabeth was a 'truly inspiring person' and a 'general national treasure'.
LISTEN: Peter Blunden speaks with Ross and John
"She will leave an extraordinary legacy for not only this city but this country," he said.
"People used to melt in her presence, quite frankly. I went to many functions, even very late in her life when she'd arrive in her wheelchair and she'd just get a standing ovation."
Mr Blunden said while there would be a private funeral, he believed there would be a public memorial service to pay tribute to the late Dame.
Her death was confirmed by News Limited in a statement released late on Wednesday evening.
Dame Elisabeth had survived a bad fall less than three months ago in which she broke her leg and went to hospital.
"Very depressing, but hoping and praying,'' Rupert Murdoch had tweeted in September shortly after the fall.
She died peacefully on Wednesday night at Cruden Farm, her beloved Langwarrin garden estate set on more than 54 hectares in Melbourne's outer southeast.
Dame Elisabeth was the wife of Sir Keith Murdoch and mother to four children including Rupert Murdoch, Anne Kantor and Janet Calvert-Jones.
Her eldest daughter, Helen Handbury, died in 2004.
A patron of the arts, she had celebrated her 103rd birthday in February this year with grandson Lachlan Murdoch at a concert in her honour at the Melbourne Recital Centre.
She was a Companion of the Order of Australia, a former president of the Royal Childrens Hospital, and in 1963 was appointed a Dame Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire by the Queen.
Dame Elisabeth had supported an estimated 100 charities annually and was beloved for her life-long commitment to helping others.
News Limited chief executive Kim Williams said the country would be mourning the loss of an extraordinary figure.
"We feel the loss intensely because she was the wife of Sir Keith Murdoch and mother of our chairman Rupert Murdoch, both towering figures in our national story and the builders of our own media heritage here at News,'' he told News Ltd on Thursday.
HWT board chairman Julian Clarke added: "Dame Elisabeth has been an ever-present influence in our company and will be sadly missed by the many employees who knew her personally.''
Dame Elisabeth has 77 direct descendants, including 50 great-grandchildren and six great-great-grandchildren.
In lieu of flowers, the Murdoch family is asking for donations to be made to the Murdoch Children's Research Institute.
In a statement, her family said details of a memorial service would be confirmed shortly, but her funeral is expected to be a private one, despite her years of serving the public.

@leemob, Dame Elizabeth did not have to live of her son Rupert, hubby Keith left her very well provided for. As for not working a day in her life: well yes, probably as far as a being out in the work force but she worked tirelessly for her charities and if you have been listening to people who have called 3AW you would have heard that she was very much 'hands on' at home and did not simply rely on hired help. In any case your comments are silly and short-sighted.Gloria Friday 7 December, 2012 - 4:24 PM
I agree totally with you Matt. This lady probably never knew a hard days work in her entire life. Very easy to give and be charming when you never have to wake up worrying bout how you will pay your bills.A nice lady? I'm sure she was. Living off her evil son's earnings.leemob Friday 7 December, 2012 - 2:49 PM

Condolences to the Murdoch family on the passing of such a graceful, caring and devoted lady!
It was a privelidge to have met her all those years ago in a little fruit shop in Karingal Hub, where she would come and do her own shopping, just like any other little old lady going about her business, with a twinkle in her eye and a caring smile on her face.
To me you were our very own Queen of Victoria. Now you are an angel in heaven. May your legacy live on forever.Ann Hammond Thursday 6 December, 2012 - 10:28 PM
Yes, a truly beautiful woman. I think we could all take a leaf out of her book......she is truly inspirational and I hope her legacy lives on forever. R.I.P
We need to name something in memory of this true Australian.
Something that depicts all that she has done...kay rimbaldo Thursday 6 December, 2012 - 5:36 PM

HoopsHype Kyle Korver rumors
The Indiana Pacers are on the verge of a complete meltdown. The team survived a disastrous end to the regular season and still managed to claim the East's No. 1 seed, but the Pacers gave away home court advantage with a shocking Game 1 loss to the No. 8 Atlanta Hawks Saturday. Atlanta cruised to a 14-0 lead to open the game and kept the lead in double-digits until the final minute of play. Kyle Korver blocked Roy Hibbert twice. On TNT Sunday, analyst Charles Barkley unloaded on the Pacers, calling them "flat wussies" for their performance. For The Win
Kyle Korver did not travel with the Hawks to Washington, D.C. Friday afternoon. However the starting shooting guard has not yet been ruled out of Saturday night's game against the Wizards. Korver has missed the past five games, all Hawks losses, due to back spasms and has been receiving treatment. Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Atlanta Hawks guard Kyle Korver is sitting out his third straight game because of back spasms. Korver wasn't in uniform Monday night as the Hawks hosted the Phoenix Suns, looking to break a two-game losing streak. Shelvin Mack started in his place. USA Today Sports
Kyle Korver told Yahoo Sports he heard "a rumor" that a coach offered money to his team if they stopped his 3-point streak, which recently ended at a record 127 games. Yahoo! Sports
Korver, who passed Dana Barros' record of 89 straight (set from 1994-96) earlier this season, went 1 of 9 from the field and missed all five of his attempts from long range, sitting out the fourth quarter. Since Nov. 4, 2012, when his streak started, Korver had knocked down 337 three-pointers. "I'm a little bummed for sure," Korver said. "The streak was good, it was good while it lasted. Some day I'll look on it and be proud, but obviously it was just a tough game all around for us and that was part of it." Oregonian
"I was thinking, 'Don't let him touch the ball,'" Matthews joked postgame. "So I was mad that he touched it as many times as he did. "I had the pleasure of being on the other side when he was on my team in Utah and I saw what happened when he got space. Kyle, he can light it up any given night and I was trying to make sure it wasn't tonight." Oregonian
Anthony Tolliver: It was amazing being @KyleKorver teammate last year & seeing him hit a 3pt FG in almost every game of the year! 127 straight games #salute Twitter @ATolliver44
Chris Vivlamore: Kyle Korver extends NBA record 3-point streak to 120 games. #atlhawks Twitter @ajchawks
Chris Vivlamore: Kyle Korver's NBA record 3-pt streak extended to 119 games. #atlhawks Twitter @ajchawks
Korver is the Atlanta Hawks' 32-year-old, 6-7 swingman who owns the NBA record for consecutive games making a three-pointer (118). He recoils at the notion he is a merely a specialist, some kind of hood ornament. He is a dutiful NBA player. "Three-point shooting better be the best part of my game, but if that's all you do, you don't get to play that much in the NBA," Korver said. "I try and be solid all around. I enjoy basketball, not just shooting." USA Today Sports
"If I look back at the greatest shooters of all time, I can find all kinds of mistakes in mechanics, but if you look at it, they are the same mechanics every single time, so the first part of shooting is finding the shot you can make every single time," Korver said. "It doesn't matter what it looks like, but you have to be able to replicate it every single time. "Eventually, you get to a point where you recognize what's wrong. When I am warming up I would rather miss a shot than make it. If I am making it and they are going in and all I have is a good rhythm, well, that rhythm may not be there during a game." USA Today Sports
The essence of Korver's success is playing off screens and spacing. Also, the transition three, once shunned in the NBA, is a part of his repertoire. According to statistics compiled by Synergy, in the last five years, Korver connects on transition threes at a robust 45.9%. His threes in the halfcourt are 44.9%. USA Today Sports
On Feb. 13, 2013, in Orlando, the Hawks were pummeling the Magic when Korver was pulled from the game for good — without a made three. A few seats away, there was a humming in assistant coach Bob Weiss' pocket. It was Weiss' wife texting him that Korver did not yet have a three. The streak was in jeopardy. Korver was reinserted into the game. "I didn't like it, I didn't like it one bit, that's not who I am as a player," Korver said. "I went in, missed two threes and looked at the bench like, 'Get me out of here.' Then I made one." USA Today Sports

USA Basketball announced Thursday its 28-player pool for the next three summers that features a wide variety of American standouts, stretching from Miami's reigning MVP LeBron James to mercurial Sacramento Kings big man DeMarcus Cousins to Atlanta Hawks shooting specialist Kyle Korver. The pool, chosen by USAB chairman Jerry Colangelo and coach Mike Krzyzewski, is headlined by well-known stars such as James, Chris Paul and Carmelo Anthony -- none of whom are expected to compete at the 2014 World Cup of Basketball in Spain. It also includes a number of the game's rising talents while also keeping injured Team USA vets Derrick Rose and Russell Westbrook in the fold. ESPN.com

Dartmouth defends decision to cancel classes
The threats, which targeted students' sexual orientation and race, followed a Friday protest of about a dozen students who showed up at the Dimensions Welcome Show for incoming students to highlight what they say are underreported sexual assaults and racial incidents.
Interim President Carol Folt defended the decision to cancel classes while speaking to about 1,500 people in front of Dartmouth Hall Wednesday afternoon.
Instead of classes the students were asked to attend discussions and "teach-ins" to address the issue instead.
Speaking to students, Folt likened the campus climate to a "pressure cooker very close to exploding."
"We believe we have reached a tipping point," she said. "What began as a protest at a cherished student-run event has become a nightmare for many, many students. ... We believe the well-being of our students, our community, is at risk .... And we believe that whether you agree with our decision or not you would join together in a day of reflection, of kindness, and an affirmation of our humanity as a community."
The comments in the online chatroom for Dartmouth students and alumni only threatened violence against the students who protested the campus climate, sexual assaults, violence, discrimination, homophobia, intolerance and social divisiveness, she said.
Folt said the college was pursuing those who made the comments and would follow its internal policies and procedures privately to deal with it.
"We will not try this in the court of public opinion," Folt said.
"It's time to take this moment and turn it into a beautiful start for renewed collaboration and communication," she said. "We are going to take these issues that face the nation and hold ourselves to a higher standard."
"Today we take a time out. We take a day to reflect on what it means to be a community," said Charlotte Johnson, dean of the college. "This is our Dartmouth. This is your Dartmouth. And at Dartmouth there is no place for violence. There is no place for racism. There is no place for homophobia. There is no place for hate."
Bruce Sacerdote, Dartmouth economics professor, also addressed the large crowd of students, saying he didn't know about the threats until he was asked to attend a faculty meeting Tuesday night to discuss them. Faculty at that meeting made the decision to cancel Wednesday classes.
Sacerdote said he was shocked by the threats.
"Not just generic statements, but threats aimed at specific students," he said.
He quoted one of the threats: "Everyone loves Dartmouth and nobody who doesn't should be executed."
"I was floored," he said.
He also said the students who had been performing at the Dimensions Show have met with the social justice protesters and the two groups have expressed respect for each other.
"These are not the people posting the violent vitriol," he said of the performers.
"Today is really about what happened after the protest," he said. "Sadly these issues have been going on for a long time at Dartmouth and across the country."
Students also addressed the crowd. Senior Duncan Hall of New Zealand, 22, said he came to Dartmouth in the fall of 2009.
"I was excited. I was nervous. I came hiding a secret," Hall said.
Because of the respect shown to him by his new friends at Dartmouth, he was able to "come out" in his freshman year he said, freeing "himself from a weight that had been bringing him down for years."
"Their respect saved me from a minute longer of pain and depression," Hall said. "Dartmouth are we a place where that respect has faded?"
He called on students to return to respect and to be more conscious of their behavior, words and attitudes.
During the rally some students held up signs protesting the cancelation of classes.
Sign holder Dartmouth sophomore Jon Miller said he has friends who write for the college newspaper who receive threats and hateful messages online all the time for their printed opinions, but classes are not canceled.
"The threats online I think were atrocious," he said.
Miller, though, said he was also offended by the small protest at the event on Friday because the students had "forcibly" entered and disrupted a show for incoming students.

Post Harvest Hopyard Management from Michigan State University
As growers wrap up hop harvest this 2014 season, they can follow these post-harvest tips to help prepare for next year.
For the most part, the work of the 2014 season is complete. However, growers can still consider pest management practices that may impact next year, post-harvest irrigation, compost application and record keeping.
Controlling downy mildew
Many growers struggled to control downy mildew this year due to challenging weather conditions. Growers cultivating particularly susceptible varieties faced a particularly difficult season and may be wondering what can be done post-harvest to combat this important and damaging disease. To properly answer this question, we need to fully understand the disease cycle of Pseudoperonospora humuli, the causal agent of downy mildew of hops (Figure 1) and how growing conditions in Michigan can affect the efficacy of late season treatments.
Mycelium, the vegetative part of the downy mildew pathogen, overwinters in buds and crowns or plant debris (infected leaves, stems) left on the field. As shoots emerge in the spring, they may already be infected with this overwintering mycelium. As the hop bine begins to grow, the mycelium produces a microscopic spore-bearing structure (sporangiophore) on the underside of leaves, giving the underside a gray, fuzzy appearance. These structures give rise to an asexual type of spore called zoospores. Zoospores move via wind and rain and act as the major cause of disease spread during the season, infecting new leaves, shoots and eventually even cones. The reproductive cycle that produces zoospores may repeat multiple times over the season, depending on temperature and moisture availability.
Alternately, mycelium may also yield a resting spore (oospore) that it produces through sexual recombination. Oospores are typically more resistant to environmental changes and are often referred to as resting spores. It is unclear at this time if Michigan's climate provides environmental conditions conducive to oospore production.
When considering a post-harvest treatment, it is important to remember that the downy mildew fungus will overwinter in the plant itself and is protected by the plant epidermis. While there are no data to suggest that post-harvest treatments are beneficial in terms of a reduction in disease next season, there is a general correlation between disease presence and severity from season to season that warrants further research. If growers want to try an experimental post-harvest application, they should focus on utilizing systemic fungicides that move downward in the plant tissue and might disrupt the mycelium that will be the source of next year's infection.
Systemic fungicides are typically described as locally systemic, acropetal systemic (moving upward), or basipetal systemic (moving downward). Locally systemic materials are not useful for the treatment of downy mildew at this time because they do not move far from the site of application and don't reach the sites where the pathogen overwinters. Truly systemic fungicides are taken up by the xylem or phloem tissue of the plant and moved to new tissues. Many of the systemic materials today are only translocated outward via the xylem or water-conducting tissues. Distribution of a systemic fungicide in the phloem or carbohydrate-conducting tissue tissues (basipetal translocation or downward movement) would include translocation into the crown and roots where downy mildew overwinters.
Fungicides labeled for hops that move systemically downward include Aliette and phosphite fungicides. Given the overwintering location of the fungus a systemic fungicide with downward movement would be the best option. That being said, with little remaining leaf area and bines shutting down from shorter day length, there may be limited value to a fungicide application at this time. Based on the lack of supporting data, post-harvest treatments for downy mildew are not recommended as a general practice at this time. Growers with high levels of downy in their hopyards should instead focus on developing an early and aggressive protectant treatment program for next spring. Refer to the article "Battling downy mildew as hop harvest approaches" from Michigan State University Extension for more information.
Post-harvest insect pests
Now let's consider some of the problematic insect pests still lingering after harvest. Potato leafhoppers, damson hop aphids and two-spotted spider mites were all reported at significant levels in hopyards, and growers are considering what treatment strategies are available post-harvest.
Potato leafhoppers (Photos 1-2) were a real issue for some growers, but a treatment now would not affect populations next season because potato leafhoppers currently in hopyards will not survive the winter. Potato leafhoppers move north on spring storms and reinfest each year. Once potato leafhoppers arrive, they reproduce in the hopyards and can cause significant damage. However, their inability to survive the winter wipes out the entire population in Michigan each year.
Damson hop aphids were observed in higher numbers as harvest approached and some growers had problem infestations at harvest (Photo 3). Again, we must look at the lifecycle of the pest to determine if a post-harvest treatment could help keep numbers down next season. Hop aphids overwinter as eggs on Prunus species, genus of trees and shrubs that includes plums, cherries, peaches, nectarines, apricots and almonds. In early spring, eggs hatch into stem mothers that give birth to wingless females that feed on the Prunus host. In May, winged females are produced and travel to hop plants where additional generations of wingless females are produced. As cold weather approaches, winged females and males are produced, move back onto a Prunus host, mate and lay eggs for before winter. We expect that this migration away from hops and onto plants in the Prunus genus occurs sometime in September.
Growers with particularly high populations could apply a post-harvest insecticide to limit the overwintering populations, but only if they are still present in the hopyard. Growers considering an application should scout their fields and confirm the presence of aphids before applications are made. Refer to the article "Aphids on hop reported in significant numbers" for more information on management.
Finally, two-spotted spider mites (Photo 4) were an issue for some growers this season. Again, if we examine the lifecycle of the pest we can make better decisions about the potential impact of post-harvest management. Hops are a unique situation when it comes to mite management. Many horticultural crops use post-harvest treatments in infested sites to reduce overwintering populations, but hop growers remove the plant itself quite early in the season, likely removing a large portion of the mites with it. Two-spotted spider mites that remain overwinter as mated females on plant debris and trellis structures in the hopyard.
Mites remaining in the hopyard are susceptible to miticide applications, but likely account for a relatively small number in fall when they are beginning to migrate to overwintering sites. Unless the infestations were at an economically significant level, miticide applications should be avoided if possible. Often, one mite treatment leads to continued mite treatments as the natural balance of predators and beneficials is upset. For these reasons, two-spotted spider mite post-harvest treatments are not recommended unless hopyards were left unharvested and experienced extremely high populations. Refer to the article "Michigan hop update – July 31, 2014" for more information on managing two-spotted spider mites.
Sanitize and fertilize in the fall
Growers should also consider the importance of sanitation at this time. Removal of all bines and leaves from the hopyard is recommended after the first hard freeze. Plant tissues can harbor insects and disease and should be removed, buried or burned. Growers who did not harvest this year (as in first year hops) are advised to remove the plants after a hard frost to prevent increased pest and disease pressure next season.
Growers planning to utilize compost fertilizer can apply it this fall. Recommendations from the west suggest applying a couple of shovels full directly onto and around the crown. Conventional wisdom also suggests watering the bines just before shutting down the irrigation for the year, particularly in areas without good snow cover where desiccation might be an issue this winter. Growers are advised to not fully saturate the soils, but keep the final watering moderate, particularly on heavier soils where rot could become an issue. Growers may also consider sub-soiling between rows in areas in need of better drainage, applying herbicides for perennial weed control, and removing unproductive or diseased crowns.
Take time to evaluate the season
Lastly, it is well worth a grower's time to set aside a moment to reflect on the season. Take note of trouble areas in the hopyard and consider planning how to address pest or nutrient issues in the following season. It is also recommended that growers review their spray records and ensure they are complete.

When should you harvest hops?
It is past harvest for many hop growers, but this article from Michigan State University explains how to determine harvest date by having green hops analyzed for the alpha & beta acid content as well as smelling the hops, checking the lupulin to see if it is bright yellow and perhaps brewing a cup of hop tea to taste the flavor of the hops and their bitterness.

It was only when we got there we were told to go to the short term car park level 4 section S which was very confusing and wasted a lot of time. I think we should have had those instructions in advance. Now that I'm aware next time might be easier if this isn't changed.

Home » Articles » Great Khali salary
While he is no longer being pushed as a legitimate threat towards the main event scene, the Great Khali is pulling in a huge salary from WWE still. He is pulling in approximately $974,000 a year, which is mainly due to the fact that he is massively popular in India and generates interest from that market
December 12, 2013
As many already know, WWE has been trying to downplay the importance of Great Khali to the company. For years, he was paid a very high salary because of his overseas marketing appeal. However, with WWE losing a ton of money lately, there are talks that the former world heavyweight champion could become a casualty soon. Giving him a release would save WWE close to a million dollars a year.

While he is no longer being pushed as a legitimate threat towards the main event scene, the Great Khali is pulling in a huge salary from WWE still. He is pulling in approximately $974,000 a year, which is mainly due to the fact that he is massively popular in India and generates interest from that market
December 12, 2013
It has now been revealed that WWE pays their developmental wrestlers approximately $25000 a year. There's usually a two or three year commitment involved as well. An established guy like Kenta Kobayashi may be receiving a higher salary, however. The average amount is definitely less than what some of these guys with name value can make on the independent wrestling circuit.
September 11, 2014
There are talks that Mr Anderson could be one of the next wrestlers to leave TNA. He signed a new contract last October, and it was reportedly for just a year. Since the company has been trying to be very cautious with their budget, Anderson could become a casualty. Reports surfaced in May that the former world heavyweight champion was one of the remaining performers with a big salary.
August 21, 2014
Reports surfaced this week that WWE has banned Alberto Del Rio from wrestling in the United States for approximately 10 or 11 months because he was found to be in breach of his contract. The former world heavyweight champion will be allowed to work in Mexico as he pleases. Del Rio may not take legal actions against WWE because the company would be paying him a salary during the next year.
August 16, 2014
Over the last year, the status of Hernandez in TNA has been up in the air. We now know that the former tag team champion is no longer under contract. His deal with TNA expired, and management opted to not renew it. Instead, the company will be utilizing the salary slot on newer performers. That has been the company strategy as of late.
May 13, 2014
Since the two sides could not come to an agreement on a new contract, Frankie Kazarian finished up his stint with TNA this week by working a pair of taped Impact Wrestling episodes. Rumors have it that management is letting the veteran performer walk, so that they could use his salary slot to sign a pair of younger and cheaper wrestlers.
May 12, 2014
"My contract was started midway thru the year last year but altogether with salary+appearances I was on pace for roughly $75,000-$84,000 for a year period. That's if my schedule is as busy as it was last summer/fall. Also that's only counting TNA. I'd make a lot more if I kept up with other bookings outside but I just don't. I'm also guaranteed a huge chunk of that regardless of if I wrestle or not. So it's pretty ok considering I do what I love. I'm on the low end on the roster too. Most guys do way better than me." - Manik reveals salary in TNA
April 19, 2014
While the actual numbers are not available online as he is still a fairly new performer on the main roster, the belief is that Bray Wyatt does not have a high salary in WWE at the moment. The downside guarantee is said to be on the low end, but since he has been featured heavily on pay per view events, he supplements his salary with monthly bonus checks.
March 27, 2014
While fans are under the impression that professional wrestlers are all getting rich, that simply is not the case, especially for a lower level performer like Jinder Mahal. The 3MB member is currently being paid $75,000 a year by WWE in downside guarantees. That salary seems like a lot, but Mahal has to pay for his own travel expenses every week.

While he is not a main event performer in WWE, Kofi Kingston draws in a pretty good salary. His downside guarantee is $254,200 a year. Even though he does have to pay for his own travel expenses, Kingston does get thrown into a couple of pay per view events per year, which gives his annual salary a nice boost from the PPV bonuses.
March 24, 2014
Since he is viewed as an international marketing asset and an occasional main event performer, Alberto Del Rio is one of the few guys in WWE that has a salary that is higher than half a million a season. The former world heavyweight champion has a downside guarantee of $675,000 a year. He also receives a good amount of pay per view bonuses as well.
March 23, 2014
A website called Sport Rich List is claiming that Scott Steiner has a net worth of approximately $4.4 million, which instantly caused wrestling fans to wonder about the legitimacy of that claim, as the former WWE star has not collected a big salary in quite some time. There are those that believe that he is suing TNA because he is hoping to cash in a big pay day.
March 21, 2014
Some interesting salary details were released about WWE today, and it has now been revealed that Triple H is collecting two checks from the company. He receives $550000 a year for being the executive vice president of talent and live events. HHH also receives $1 million a year to be a wrestler and on screen character as well.
March 20, 2014
Thanks to being a part of a popular act for a while there, Brodus Clay maintains a pretty good salary from his bosses in WWE. The former bodyguard for Snoop Dogg is now being paid $170,000 a year as a professional wrestler. Being paid more than six figures is considered quite a feat for someone that does not receive consistent time on television.
March 19, 2014
In order to steal him away from WCW, Vince McMahon had to throw a good amount of money at the Big Show. More than a decade after the fact, his salary still remains among the top of the list in WWE. Big Show is currently being paid $1,050,000 a year in downside guarantee, and his pay per view bonuses kick it quite a bit as well.
March 17, 2014
Celebrity DBI, a website that tracks the name value of celebrities, has Hulk Hogan at 96% popularity, which puts him just below NBA legend Michael Jordan, who is sitting at 98%. His cultural relevance was the reason why he was able to command a huge salary from TNA and why he was able to get Vince McMahon to hand him big checks now.
February 24, 2014
In a move that does not come as a surprise to those that have been following the company closely, WWE has opted to release the Great Khali. His profile has been officially moved to the alumni section on the company website. Reports are saying that his contract expired, and management felt it was financially beneficial to not renew the former world heavyweight champion, even though he was considered a marketing asset.
November 14, 2014
Even though the company has been slowly downplaying the importance of the Great Khali, WWE has plans in the works to expand even further into India. Management recognizes the country as a very profitable one for their brand. More shows are being planned, and television deals are being cemented. While the company no longer wishes to pay him as much money as before, this move into India might help Khali secure another contract soon.
September 25, 2014
The downplaying of the Great Khali continues. WWE is doing some promotional work in India this week, and once again, the former world heavyweight champion was not chosen for the task of generating interest in his own country. Instead, WWE has sent Wade Barrett, a European star who is currently injured. The belief is that management will be severing ties with Khali once his contract expires because he is one of higher paid performers on the roster.
September 17, 2014
While doing a shoot interview, Evan Bourne revealed some details about a backstage fight that took place between Big Show and Great Khali. He stated that it took place in 2009 while WWE was doing a live event in Puerto Rico. He did not reveal what the fight was about, but Bourne did state that Show threw the first punch. Khali was able to block it, and the two fell to the ground. Khali mounted Show and slapped him a few times before others stopped it.
August 8, 2014
Some more names have been added to the upcoming WWE Intercontinental Championship battle royal. Big E, Curtis Axel, Dolph Ziggler, Rob Van Dam and Ryback are now in the match at WWE Battleground 2014. They join Kofi Kingston, Damien Sandow, Great Khali and Antonio Cesaro. As of right now, the company is favoring the idea of giving the title to Cesaro.
July 2, 2014
Since Wade Barrett is injured and will require several months on the shelf, WWE decided to strip him of the Intercontinental Championship and put it on the line in a battle royal at Battleground 2014. Four names have been confirmed so far for the match. Kofi Kingston, Damien Sandow, Great Khali and Antonio Cesaro will be involved in that match. More is expected to be added through the next few weeks.
July 1, 2014
Over the weekend, the Great Khali made his return to WWE at a live event in Pennsylvania. The former world heavyweight champion worked a quick match against Titus ONeil. This could signify that he is getting ready to make a return to Monday Night Raw. Do not expect him to receive a push or a big comeback segment, though. WWE has been trying to phase him out of their marketing plans as of late.
June 22, 2014
The 3MB stable is no longer the same, as WWE has confirmed the release of Jinder Mahal. Management simply did not feel that the group was relevant enough to keep Mahal around, even though he was reportedly one of the lower paid performers on the main roster. The peak of his tenure with WWE was when he was working with the Great Khali.
June 12, 2014
Since he knows that his career in WWE isn't going to last forever, the Great Khali has reportedly been looking towards life after leaving the company for quite some time now. Those speculations gained more credibility this week when a professional wrestler in India told the media that he has been working with Khali to start a new promotion in their home country.
May 27, 2014
A video of Antonio Cesaro giving his trademarked airplane spin to the Great Khali, but recreated by action figures. WWE is trying to hype up the fans for the Cesaro push.
April 20, 2014
A video of the Great Khali wrestling CJ Parker in WWE NXT. The former world heavyweight champion has been given time off from Monday Night Raw and Smackdown, so it was interesting that he made an appearance in developmental.
April 19, 2014
While he worked the battle royal at Wrestlemania 30, the Great Khali is not actively back on the road with WWE after all. The former world heavyweight champion is being given another four weeks off. He is scheduled to return to television in the middle of May. No word yet on why he is being give time off, but there are some rumors that he is injured.
April 17, 2014
In order to promote the big pay per view this weekend, WWE hosted the Wrestlemania 30 press conference. This picture from the event shows Batista, Hulk Hogan, Randy Orton, Big Show, Alberto Del Rio, Great Khali, Mark Henry, John Cena, Daniel Bryan, Triple H, Stephanie McMahon and the girls from Total Divas.
April 2, 2014
After spending some time down at the WWE Performance Center, Brodus Clay is now back on the road. He worked a live event over the weekend in Atlantic City, where he did a quick dance off segment with the Great Khali, another performer who has been off the road for a couple of weeks. No word on a television return for Clay yet.
March 24, 2014
Rumors about the Great Khali leaving WWE when his contract expires this year have been spreading since management has been downplaying his role on Monday Night Raw and Smackdown. Right now, there are talks backstage that the company might opt to keep him from working at Wrestlemania 30, in which case, his fate with WWE is sure to come to an end.

This song brings back memories of days long gone. Ah, those were the days, life was much simpler then.
It's "6, 8, 12" by Brian McKnight, btw.
Ooh, ooh
Do you ever think about me?
Do you ever cry yourself to sleep?
In the middle of the night when you're awake,
Are you calling out for me?
Do you ever reminisce?
I can't believe I'm acting like this
I know it's crazy
How I still can feel your kiss
[1] - It's been six months, eight days, twelve hours
Since you went away
I miss you so much and I don't know what to say
I should be over you
I should know better but it's just not the case
It's been six months, eight days, twelve hours
Since you went away
Do you ever ask about me?
Do your friends still tell you what to do?
Every time the phone rings,
Do you wish it was me calling you?
Do you still feel the same?
Or has time put out the flame?
I miss you
Is everything okay?
[Repeat 1]
It's hard enough just passing the time
When I can't seem to get you off my mind
And where is the good in goodbye?
Tell me why, tell me why
[Repeat 1]
Sing it for me
Ooh, ooh

Facebook has left its inglorious IPO days in the dust, and is firing away on all cylinders recently. But have investors already missed all the upside, or is this a long-term winner?
Since Facebook's blockbuster $16 billion IPO, the social network has seen its share of highs and lows.
Nearly one year ago, I warned yet again of the trend starting to turn against Facebook. For those who don't follow me, I was most bearish on Facebook - even before its IPO.

Family help
Claremont American Legion post, Rolling Thunder help wounded veteran, son reunite
Dakota Bonner, 9, of Claremont, last spent time with his dad, Robert Martin of San Antonio, Texas, in 2011. (COURTESY)
Members of the American Legion were moved by a Veteran's Day speech given by Dakota at the Legion observance this year, said Post 29 commander Sam Zannini, and so enlisted Rolling Thunder to share travel expenses to make the family reunion possible, he said.
Martin and Dakota's mother are originally from the Spokane, Wash., area. When Martin was in high school he learned he was going to be a father so he dropped out of school and joined the Job Corps and pursued his G.E.D. When he was old enough, he joined the Army.
Martin was deployed to Iraq in 2006. Eight months later in 2007 he was severely burned when a rocket-propelled grenade hit his convoy.
"The door of his vehicle jammed so he had to climb out," Bonner said. "He was in a drug-induced coma for a long time."
Eventually, Martin, who received burns to 70 percent of his body, was transferred to an Army burn unit in San Antonio, Texas, where he now lives with his mother.
"He is such a great boy, brave boy," Lescord said. "It's a very touching story."
The local veterans first offered to fly Martin to New Hampshire, but he didn't want to travel because of his condition and asked for no media coverage in Texas, Lescord said.
And the San Antonio Marriott River where they are staying gave them rooms at a discounted rate, she said.
"They are just spoiling him because it's never something Dakota gets. He never gets that time with his father so they are going to make it the most memorable trip they've ever had," Lescord said.

AlwaysOn Venture Summit Silicon Valley 2011, Where Big Ideas Meet Big Money
14 December 2011
Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay, California
When Steve Jobs visited then Xerox PARC in Palo Alto, he saw 3 amazing new innovations: the graphical user interface, object-oriented software, and Ethernet, all core technologies that were exploited by other companies. PARC CEO Dr. Stephen Hoover will tell the inside story on why PARC has been spun out of Xerox and how they are staying on the cutting edge.
Venture Summit Silicon Valley is a two-day gathering where 500 cutting-edge Internet CEOs in Digital Media and OnDemand computing meet top venture investors, corporate strategic partners, government and university officials, and members of the press and blogging communities.

At the Venture Summit, AlwaysOn introduces the next generation of "breakout" company CEOs and Founders driving the next wave of innovation in a series of industry trend debates, and in CEO Showcase presentations. A hand-chosen set of other powerful investors and corporate insiders will be also on hand to present and debate the top technology and business trends and the strategies that are driving success in today's competitive innovation-driven markets.
