Meet the barbastelle bat, the world's first known moth whisperer.
The European bat has lowered its voice to evade detection by some moth species, allowing the mammal to swoop in for the kill, new research shows.
To help "see" in the dark, most bats echolocate, sending out sound waves and listening for echoes bouncing off objects, including prey.
(Related: "Early Bats Flew First, Developed 'Sonar' Later.")
Moths with ears—a feature that evolved independently in several moth species—can hear the bat calls and avoid the predators. Some species, such as tiger moths, even use ultrasonic clicks to "jam" a bat's sonar.
Yet one species of bat, the barbastelle, has evolved a whispering counterstrategy to outwit the eared moths—an unusual occurrence in nature, said study leader Holger Goerlitz, a biologist at the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom.
"Evolution is putting larger pressure on prey to evolve adaptations to win against the predator," Goerlitz said, "so therefore it's rare when you find cases in nature when a predator is winning in the arms race."
Unlocking the Bat Whisper
Before the study, the researchers had noticed that barbastelle bats are particularly proficient hunters. To find out why, the scientists would need to find out what exactly the bats hunt, so Goerlitz's team ran a genetic analysis of barbastelle feces.
The results showed the bat ate mostly moths with ears, such as the large yellow underwing moth.
The scientists then went out into the night to find out how well eared moths can detect the barbastelle bat's sonar.
At a site in southern England, the team attached a small electrode to the auditory nerve of a captured yellow underwing moth kept on the ground. The electrode recorded when the nerve was activated by a passing bat's echolocation call.
Simultaneously, the researchers recorded with microphones the echolocation calls of several flying barbastelles, which allowed the team to calculate where in space the sound had originated. For comparison, the team also recorded echolocation calls of a related bat species, Leisler's bat.
(Related: "Bats Use Magnetic 'Compasses' to Navigate, Study Says.")
Later, in the lab, the scientists pieced together when the moth's auditory nerve had been firing in relation to an incoming echolocation call.
The results showed the barbastelle can get as close as 11 feet (3.5 meters) to the grounded moth without being detected—most eared other moths can hear bats as far away as 100 feet (30 meters), according to the study.
Further analysis of the echolocation calls revealed that the barbastelle's calls are up to a hundred times fainter than those of other bats. (Interactive: Hear tropical bat calls.)
Bat Whispers Provide Exclusive Food Source
The bats' whispering is something of a disadvantage, since it effectively limits their "vision," Goerlitz noted.
"All of the other bats have a large call that travels far, [like] a bright torch," he said, but the barbastelle bats' sonar is like "a candle, only 'illuminating' the area just around them."
Yet this specialized ability also means the barbastelle has a corner on the eared-moth market, since non-whispering bats generally can't catch the insects.
Will the moth develop a counter-counterstrategy to the whispering? Unlikely, Goerlitz said. If the moth becomes even more sensitive to noises, the fragile insect might become too disturbed by innocuous sounds, such as wind and rustling leaves, he said.
So for now it's bat 1, moth 0.
The bat-"whispering" study will appear September 14 in the journal Current Biology.

These bathroom vanities definitely serve their purpose and provide a lot of storage and counter space but they do so in the least fashionable possible.

These top quality vanities have been meticulously created to provide your bathroom space with the focal point it so desperately needs. Whether you're looking for an antique reproduction, transitional or contemporary style, there are vanities out there to fit your style needs. A quality vanity should have at least a five-layer plywood construction to stand the test of time with a solid wood construction on the exterior.
Here's an example of one of our more popular bathroom vanities. The Providence line is made of solid wood and a natural stone top to compliment the wood grain texture. It features a unique cabinet door opening hardware while still having ample room for all your necessities. The wood backsplash and the wood framed mirror complete the look and tie the room together. This vanity along with many vanities for sale will truly turn your bathroom space into one fit for a magazine spread.

The Charity Commission has received a complaint about the charitable status of the Bilderberg Association, a charity which helps funds the Bilderberg meetings, an annual gathering of the world's political and finance elite to have "off-the record" discussions on global trends.
The complaint, seen by civilsociety.co.uk, states that that the Bilderberg Association's charitable objectives would be "highly unlikely" to qualify for charitable status.
The Bilderberg Association says its charitable objectives are to promote the study of, and public education in international affairs, economics and the social sciences with reference in particular to political, economic and social problems affecting the democratic countries of North America and Western Europe and the effects of industrialisation upon the social structures and environments of such countries.
But the complainant to the Charity Commission argues that as Bilderberg meetings are entirely secret they have no role at all in public education. "Meetings are not in fact disseminated, and no reports are published. Bilderberg meetings are in fact, by their own admission, characterised by ultimate secrecy.
"Therefore, it would appear that the objectives and activities of the Bilderberg Association are identifiably false and misleading."
The Bilderberg meetings, which have been held since 1954, are annual, private conferencse attended by a range of powerful leaders including high-ranking politicians, bank bosses, CEOs and royals.
Organisers say the private nature of the conferences allow people to "listen, reflect and gather insights" without being bound by "pre-agreed positions". But critics argue that the profile of the people attending means they should be more accountable.
This year's Bilderberg meeting, held in the UK, included Prime Minister David Cameron, minister without portfolio Kenneth Clarke, Google boss Eric Schmidt and former Barclays chairman Marcus Agius.
Agius and Clarke are also two of the three trustees of the Bilderberg Association, along with Lord Kerr of Kinlochard.
According to its latest annual accounts on the Charity Commission website, the Association funds the Bilderberg conference when it is held in the UK and provides travel costs for some UK participants to attend meetings.
It received donations of £100,000 for the year ending March 2012, half of which was given by the Association's "management committee members" - unnamed in the accounts - and it contributed £26,004 towards the Bilderberg meetings.
Its accounts state that an international steering committee organises conferences and meetings in the UK and elsewhere and disseminates the results thereof by preparing and publishing reports of such conferences and meetings by other means.
Civilsociety.co.uk was unable to find evidence of published reports and the Bilderberg Association did not respond to enquiries in time.
A Charity Commission spokeswoman said: "' We recently received a complaint regarding the charitable status of the Bilderberg Association. We are currently assessing whether there is any regulatory role for us to play."

Washington DC Hop-on Hop-off Trolley Tour
Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Washington DC Hop-on Hop-off Trolley Tour. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
This was an awesome way to see DC. Definitely too much to see in one day and a second day is needed if you want to visit any museums, etc. Drivers/tour directors were very knowledgeable about their city. I would recommend the hop on/hop off trolley tour when visiting Washington!
Tour was great. Guides very informative and good way to get around the city.
The best was Slim Jim! Entertaining, funny and quite knowleable.
Loved loved this tour! Hopped off and on at all stops and never had to wait more than 10-15 minutes for the next trolley. Top notch customer service. Every driver added their own flair, humor and wealth of knowledge. The only way to see Washington DC!!!
Great fun, especially the drivers narration on the Georgetown tour. His "speed" rap of all the embassies was hilarious.
The trolley ride is a great way to find out how the city, museums, and monuments are laid out. You can plan where you can walk too and what you want to see. We stayed on the orange line and were able to see several things and then made plans for an all day walking sightseeing adventure the next day. The drivers are versed with great facts and share many stories. If you find them fun, be sure to tip them...not every driver has the same stories and fun facts. Let them know you appreciate the time they took to learn all the things they share with you on their ride. They will answer any question you have and will help you with directions.
Great way to maximize your sightseeing. Friendly informative guides.
Great tour, great staff!
Overall, if you don't drive and would like to have a taste of Everglades and Miami Beach, this tour is great. I loved the Everglades - the local guides were passionate and knowledgeable. There was enough time at South beach to tour the beach and the Art Deco district. Our tour guide was friendly.
This was a great way to see DC. Our only regrets were not doing this first and not getting a 2 day pass. Our guides were friendly and knowledgable. Most stops when we got off, we did not have to wait more than 10 minutes for the next trolley. For the last stop, we got off at Georgetown, walking around the shopping area and the university for a bit. We had to wait about 40 minutest or that trolley, but it was the last trolley of the day. Special props go to Adam, the guide in the last trolley. One of our students realized she left her glasses at the stop and he circled around a couple of blocks so she could retrieve them! I highly recommend this as a great way to see the city first, or if you are short on time and want to hit all the important sites.
I booked this trolley tour because we had never been to D.C. and wanted to see all of the sites without all of the walking. My mother had a kidney transplant and is still not able to do a lot of walking. Booking this tour was the BEST decision we made. We had the opportunity to see, take pictures and learn about all of the sites from the trolley, and able to get off of the trolley to look more extensively at those sites most important to us. My father is a Vietnam Veteran and had himself, never been to D.C. He lost a lot of friends in Vietnam and almost didn't make it back himself. He never wanted to visit D.C., until now, partially because his first grandson graduated a year and a half ago from the Air Force over Veteran's Day Weekend. Everywhere we went, that graduation weekend in Texas, the Veterans were honored. Grandfather and grandson being asked to stand and be acknowledged. He was finally able to be proud and hold his head up and for the first time wanted to see D.C. It was amazing and emotional to witness him experience the Vietnam Memorial Wall for the first time. To watch the volunteers and him share stories and see all of the memorabilia left at the wall over the Father's Day weekend. The trolley staff were extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. If you are in D.C. this trolley is a must, the green loop is worth the extra money, ESPECIALLY if you get driver H.W.! He said H.W. stood for "hard worker", but to us it also stood for "home-work". He really knows his facts, is entertaining, and has a love and pride for his city and country that just shines through!
Very accommodating for my disabled veteran father and I. The Capitol area was very busy and this offered an excellent mode of transportation.
The drivers was very informative and friendly. It was a busy Saturday and additional trams were added. The frequency of pickups was 15 min
In a word.....AWESOME!!
The trolley tour is a gear way to get away and see the city and catch all the major sites. The only gripe I have is that the Viator site did not explicitly state that I needed to print out our tickets. Great overall though.
Excellent way to see the city. the tour guides/trolly pilots are very knowledgeable and love not just their jobs but the city as well.

Mobile And Accessibility: Why You Should Care And What You Can Do About It
- By TJ VanToll

- 25 Comments
Mobile has revolutionized the way we use the web. This is especially true of disabled users, for whom mobile devices open the door to a whole new spectrum of interactions.
And they are taking advantage of it. A July 2013 survey (PDF) of adults with disabilities done by the Wireless Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center found that 91% of people with disabilities use a "wireless device such as a cell phone or tablet." Among these users, screen reader usage is common, even on mobile devices.Read more...

A Peter White Christmas feat. Mindi Abair and Rick Braun (9:30 Show)
Rams Head On Stage
33 West St.
Annapolis, MD, 21401
This event is 21 and over
Watch & Listen
There's an Englishman in the oversized red suit preparing to slide down the chimney of all the good little smooth jazz fans this holiday season. Peter White returns with Mindi Abair and Rick Braun to Annapolis for his annual extravaganza with jazzy versions of seasonal classics, a few original holiday songs and some of their best known hits. The show promises enough fun, funk, jazz and pop to get meanest of Scrooges into the spirit.
Smooth jazz guitarist Peter White's lyrical lines and musical inventiveness are a joy to listen to. The affable Englishman's charm and playfulness come through in his music, giving his style of smooth jazz a liveliness that others in the genre lack.
Mindi Abair is one of the most dynamic performers on the music scene today. In addition to her acclaimed solo work, she was the featured saxophonist on the 2011 and 2012 seasons of American Idol, jammed with Paul Shaffer on the Late Show with David Letterman and joined rock legends Aerosmith for their 2012 summer tour. More recently, Abair received a 2014 Grammy nomination in the Best Pop Instrumental Album category for Summer Horns, a #1 recording with her friends Dave Koz, Gerald Albright and Richard Elliot, four of the most pre-eminent saxophonists in contemporary music.
In a career that spans seven solo albums and countless collaborations in the studio and live on stage, Abair has made her mark on a broad stretch of the musical landscape that includes jazz, pop, rock, R&B, soul, funk and more. The powerhouse saxophonist/vocalist has made scores of friends along the way and earned the respect of top-shelf artists representing every one of the aforementioned genres.
Rick Braun's been playing trumpet since he was a kid. No news there for the legions of fans his richly melodic playing style has attracted since the release of his first album, Intimate Secrets in 1993. Less known is the fact that he's been a singer, and a good one (backing Rod Stewart and Sade among others, with vocals as well as his stellar trumpet) for most of his life, as well.

The Evolution of Rihanna
Robyn Rihanna Fenty is not your average girl from the island next door. Having burst onto the music scene in 2005 with her Caribbean-flavored, sun-soaked, innocently-sweet hit "Pon de Replay," Rih Rih has since transformed herself into an R-rated, unapologetic, world-renowned pop diva. And she's done it so well. Read on to see what she done been through. Today (Feb. 20) is her birthday, after all. Bless up.

Well, what are friends for?Monday, October 20th, 2014
Today I told my local friend L. that I was going to take "hermit time" from November 1 through the end of the year and that for those two months I was making no commitments of any sort except those required to earn a living. That includes not making commitments for holiday plans with friends, though I might be up for something spontaneous.
"You're being so selfish!" she said. "Your friends love you and want to be with you."
"You're punishing me!" she said.
Considering that I was, at that moment, taking six hours of my day to drive her to a doctor appointment, I thought the bit about being selfish was a particularly low blow. But I was perhaps more shocked that she took my retreat to be all about her.
I'd just been telling her what a stressful year it's been, how the JPFO debacle had taken the spirit out of me, and how desperately I need mental and spiritual renewal.
She'd just been telling me how proud she was of having said no to a long-term volunteer commitment even after being told how much she was needed.
But me saying no to holiday plans (that we hadn't even discussed in detail) is punishing her.
Because she's not normally a narcissistic person I'm going to assume it was pain or pain meds talking. (She recently had surgery and is ingesting a daily pharmacopeia.)
Or perhaps something about hermitting during the holidays is so heretical that she literally does perceive it as an attack on friends and friendship. "Have you told [furrydoc] yet?" she asked in a tone that implied I was about to lose all my friends if I did this horrible thing.
(Dear furrydoc blessedly won't give a damn. Hi, furrydoc.)
L's angry words stung. But they also helped cement my resolve.
If spiritual retreat is selfishness, then it's time to be selfish. If friendship is nothing but fulfilling obligations and observing conventions, then it's not time for friendship.
Funny, L's words — though shocking from L. — were familiar. That's similar to the way my Protestant mother and sister used to talk about Catholic nuns, especially of the cloistered variety. Just a bunch of selfish women "doing nothing" when they could be out getting married, raising families, and actually helping people.
Many people in many places have said the same of spiritual pilgrims of all kinds: Why don't they just be normal like everybody else? Why don't they do something useful?
Well, I'm no nun and have so far made a pretty lousy spiritual pilgrim. But all my life I've understood, even if only from afar, the value of lives devoted to "divine nothingness."
My only regret is that I haven't been more of that kind of "selfish."

Shawn Michaels
Real Name
Michael Hickenbottom
Date of Birth
July 22, 1965
Place of Birth
Now that Justin Roberts has been given a release by WWE, fans are speculating as to who will replace him as the announcer for Monday Night Raw. Lilian Garcia is said to be ruled out because the Smackdown schedule works much better for her pursuit of music. Byron Saxton is just the backup for now. Brandi Rhodes and JoJo Offerman are the two primary candidates for the role.
October 16, 2014
Even though he is now off doing his music thing, Chris Jericho has agreed to help WWE out on their upcoming tour of Europe. Management does not have a lot of top level talent on the active roster nowadays, and Jericho still is enough of a draw to overseas fans. He might be making a couple of appearances on Monday Night Raw and Smackdown before taking off again.
October 9, 2014
Rumors surfaced this week that Dixie Carter was going to make an announcement about the new network that Impact Wrestling would be moving to. However, at the last minute, Country Music Television has emerged as a strong candidate to land the weekly TNA show. The network is under the same corporate umbrella as their current home, Spike. CMT is available in close to 100 million homes.
September 24, 2014
Since he no longer has the burden of the hectic WWE schedule to worry about, CM Punk has been enjoying his time tremendously. The former world heavyweight champion was recently spotted at the Riot Fest music event in Chicago. Punk was even invited onstage by a band called The Bouncing Souls and performed a song with them.
September 15, 2014
The music world has not seen the last of Brooke Hogan. She has been spending a lot of time in Nashville lately to prepare for the next stage of her career. Right now, she is putting together an audition to create a country band. Her manager Drew Davis is the one that is checking out the performers. Not a lot of other details have been made available.
August 23, 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
Since leaving WWE earlier in the year, CM Punk has remained relatively quiet, making sporadic appearances at NHL and MLB games. The former world heavyweight champion is going to be making a higher profile appearance later on this month. Punk will be the co-host of the kickoff show for the Alternative Press Music Awards, which is being held at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland.
July 9, 2014
When news initially broke out that Jeff Jarrett was starting a new wrestling promotion, all fingers pointed to Toby Keith as his financial backer. The country music singer is a big fan of wrestling and good friend of Jarrett. However, reports are surfacing now that Keith is not involved with Global Force Wrestling. There are rumors that the financial backer is someone that Jarrett knows through his NASCAR connections.
June 29, 2014
Country music singer George Strait held his last concert ever this weekend in Dallas, and drew in an incredible amount of people to the show. Among the 105,000 fans at the concert were Undertaker, Michelle McCool and Steve Austin. No word yet on whether or not the former WWE stars were at the event together or just happen to be there at the same time.
June 9, 2014
Now that she has successfully defend the WWE Divas Championship against Alicia Fox, it looks like Paige is moving on to another challenger. Based on a press conference video, it appears that the next challenger is Cameron. The move could be designed to help promote her new music. It could also be WWE filming footage for the upcoming season of Total Divas as well.
June 3, 2014

April 20, 2014
While she continues to fulfill her weekly duties as the announcer for WWE, Lilian Garcia is still finding time in her busy schedule to focus on her singing career. She noted on Twitter that she is back in Los Angeles this week and shooting a new music video. She formed a new band a couple of months back, and they have been performing frequently in Las Vegas.
April 18, 2014

April 12, 2014
Through Twitter, Chris Jericho posted this message to let fans know that he and Fozzy will be releasing a brand new single called Lights Go Out on April 29. It is a teaser for the full album coming out in June. The former undisputed heavyweight champion is still rumored to return to WWE after he is done with his music stuff this summer.
April 2, 2014
Earlier this month, Lilian Garcia and her band were in Las Vegas, performing concerts for NASCAR fans. It looks like they did well enough to where they were invited back to the city to do their music for people who are in town for March Madness, the annual college basketball tournament by the NCAA that draws in millions of people across the country.
March 21, 2014
Since he is no longer on the road for WWE every single week, CM Punk has found himself with some free time. The former world heavyweight champion was recently spotted in the studios, recording guest vocals for a band called Madball. The belief is that this is just a favor to his friends, as opposed to Punk seriously pursuing a career in music.
March 20, 2014

WWE is bringing in the big names to help open up Monday Night Raw this week. Hulk Hogan, Shawn Michaels and Ric Flair have been confirmed to make an appearance. The trio of former world heavyweight champions will be in the opening segment. Reports are surfacing that Flair, Hogan and Michaels will be promoting the feud between John Cena and Brock Lesnar, who is not scheduled to be there.
August 23, 2014
During a recent podcast interview between Steve Austin and Vince Russo, the topic of the Montreal Screwjob came up. Russo gave specific details about what went down between Vince McMahon, Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels. Austin then finished the discussion by stating that he had no prior knowledge of the incident going down, but that he thinks the decision by McMahon and Russo was the right one. The business had to be protected from Hart and Eric Bischoff.
July 3, 2014
Even though the push went absolutely nowhere in the long run, Chris Jericho listed his match against Fandango at Wrestlemania 29 as one of his two favorite moments at the pay per view. Jericho loved the idea of putting Fandango over so well that the fans made him a global sensation the following night on Monday Night Raw. His other favorite moment was his big match against Shawn Michaels at Wrestlemania 19.
June 17, 2014
During a recent interview, Shawn Michaels revealed that there was quite a bit of backstage heat between he and Undertaker during their careers. Michaels noted that he was obnoxious and outgoing, while Undertaker was quiet and reserved. The two WWE legends had respect for one another, but they simply did not like one another. Vince McMahon was said to have done a lot of work to appease both performers and kept them apart as much as possible backstage.
June 3, 2014
Since WWE really wants the show to do well, management has decided to give a little bit of a boost to Legends House by having Shawn Michaels doing a guest appearance. The company wants a bigger name on the series next season, but rumors going around is that WWE won't even bother trying to convince Michaels to do the show because he has far too many outside commitments as is.
May 25, 2014
During a recent podcast interview with Jim Ross, WWE legend Shawn Michaels revealed that he had no intentions of coming out of retirement to work a match against Daniel Bryan, who was his real life protege at one point in time. Michaels stated that he has had discussions with certain people backstage in WWE about the possibility, but nothing concrete ever came out of those discussions.
May 14, 2014
July is going to be a rather busy month for Roddy Piper, as the WWE legend has now been booked for at least a dozen shows throughout Europe. These events are essentially a big group discussion between Piper and his fans. The former United States Heavyweight Champion will be telling stories and answering questions. Sting, Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels have done shows like these in Europe recently, and they were able to pack the house.
May 12, 2014
While fans want to believe that Undertaker was the one that made the decision to end the winning streak at Wrestlemania 30, another person has confirmed that Vince McMahon was the one behind the move. Shawn Michaels revealed to Jim Ross during a podcast interview that McMahon made the decision approximately four hours before the pay per view started.
May 7, 2014
While their on screen characters in WWE did not get along, Shawn Michaels and JBL are good friends backstage. The two of them have arranged a special fishing expedition together in Bermuda. Michaels will be bringing the MacMillan River Adventures camera crew with him to the island to film scenes for an upcoming episode.
May 4, 2014
"I don't know, man, who knows, right? That's something that only he can answer for sure. To me, if he hasn't come back already, then... I left the WWE for two-and-a-half years in 2005. The only difference was I left when my contract was up, but I disappeared too, because I just was over it. I couldn't take it anymore, I wasn't interested in being there, I was getting miserable, so I know how he feels. I had no intention of coming back, and after two-and-a-half years I watched Shawn Michaels vs John Cena at WrestleMania 23 and that inspired me to want to come back, but it took two-and-a-half years to get there. So my answer is, 'I don't know', but I just know how I was when I did the same thing. It took a long time for me to be able to come back, and I was probably the same age as CM Punk is now too, so maybe he's going through the same thing and after a few years he'll come back." - Chris Jericho on the backstage heat situation in WWE involving Punk
May 2, 2014
When Shawn Michaels began teaming up with Marty Jannetty as the Midnight Rockers, fans across the country immediately criticized them for stealing the gimmicks from Bobby Eaton, Stan Lane, Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson. During a recent interview with Morton and Gibson, however, the Rock 'n Roll Express stated that it was viewed as a compliment. Morton also revealed that Michaels used to ride with and learned from them in the southern territories.
April 26, 2014
While he did make a brief appearance during Wrestlemania 30 week, Shawn Michaels is expected to be gone from WWE for the time being. The former world heavyweight champion will be focusing his energy on his television show and various promotional appearances for the time being. There are talks that he could be brought back for Summerslam 2014 to help with promotions, but that is not confirmed yet.
April 24, 2014
A video tribute for the Undertaker using his action figure. WWE features his character destroying the likes of Eddie Guerrero, Kane, Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart, John Cena and others.
April 14, 2014
Since the pay per view is right around the corner, WWE is calling upon their big guns to help promote Wrestlemania 30. Hulk Hogan and John Cena are being sent over to Good Morning America to hype up the pay per view. Shawn Michaels was originally advertised for the show as well, but there are rumors that he might have backed out.
April 1, 2014
Since the company wants to make it as big of an event as possible, the rumor going around right now is that all the members of the Kliq, a backstage group consisting of Shawn Michaels, Sean Waltman, Triple H and Kevin Nash, will be doing the hall of fame induction for Scott Hall at Wrestlemania 30.
March 25, 2014
During a sit down interviews with fans in England, Sting stated that he did not consider himself to be a top tier performer. The former world heavyweight champion placed himself in the second group. The long time WCW star listed Ric Flair, Ricky Steamboat, Shawn Michaels and Kurt Angle as guys that were much better in the ring that he ever was.
March 17, 2014
With millions of fans wanting to see it happening, Sting revealed that he wanted a big match at Wrestlemania 30 against Undertaker as well. The WCW legend even studied the match between Undertaker and Shawn Michaels to prepare himself for the bout. Sting also noted that he purposely started following WWE in case Vince McMahon were to give him the chance.
March 16, 2014
Since the duo has been so effective for the promoters, Shawn Michaels and Chris Jericho have both been booked for a World of Wheels event this weekend in Winnepeg. Usually, they're doing shows in separate city, but this time, event coordinators decided to bring in both WWE legends during the same weekend. They're working different days, though.
March 14, 2014
While management has yet to finalize their match at Wrestlemania 30, there are those that believe that WWE will be bringing in Shawn Michaels to join the story line between Daniel Bryan and Triple H. The former world heavyweight champion has a connection with both performer, and it would add another interesting wrinkle to the program.
March 7, 2014
The belief this week was that Shawn Michaels had completely pulled out of the big WWE NXT show, but it turns out that he simply did not want to be a part of the panel and opted for a much lesser role. The former world heavyweight champion ended up introducing the main event match between Bo Dallas and Adrian Neville instead.

"Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out
and remove all doubt."
"that's a pretty ignorant asinine statement have you ever been to a neighborhood watch meeting?"
No but I know you have a right to follow a suspicious person and phone in the location to 911.
"Okay, so maybe you're right about the gun not having a safety. And this is what I had heard from the MSM"
Repeating MSM non sense is your problem. Try thinking for yourself and you wont come off half as stupid.
Smoking pot didn't make Trayvon a thug. Stealing jewelry, fighting people and bragging about it, possessing burglary tools, taking pictures flipping off the camera and holding a gun, getting suspended from school, getting kicked out of your mothers house and having to go live with your dad because of "behavior problems" makes him a thug.
"And as far as the actual fight goes nobody knows what happened"
The only intelligent thing you said. Unfortunately you went on to suggest Zimmerman approached Trayvon with his gun drawn. Testimony suggests Zimmerman was on the ground getting his head smashed repeatedly into the cement before he drew his gun. Zimmerman had a holster and the gun was holstered until he drew it laying on his back. the forensics proved zimmerman shot trayvon while he was on top of him on the ground.

WGN Greenlights New Scripted Drama Series TITANS
Expanding its slate of original programming, WGN America today announced its next straight-to-series order for the scripted drama "Titans," and the start of pre-production and a writers' room, with an eye toward a series order, for the scripted series "Underground." Both series will be produced by Sony Pictures Television (SPT) and Tribune Studios for an expected 2015 premiere.
"These projects, each exploring a world we find to be unique and fascinating, continue our aggressive expansion into original scripted programming," said Matt Cherniss, president and general manager, WGN America and Tribune Studios. "Everyone at WGN America is pleased to enter this next phase of our growth with Sony Pictures Television as an important partner on these projects, along with such talented creators and producers."
"WGN America has made a commitment to quality programming and we are happy that working together is a significant part of their growth strategy," said Zack Van Amburg, president of programming and production for SPT. "High-quality original series have consistently helped establish channel brands with the audience, and WGN appreciates and takes that value proposition seriously," added Jamie Erlicht, president of programming and production for SPT.
A struggle for power and control set in the rugged and mysterious hills of Appalachia, "Titans" tells the story of the Farrell clan, a family of outsiders who've been in these parts since before anyone can remember. Living off the grid and above the law on their mountaintop homestead, they'll protect their world and defend their way of life using any means necessary. "Titans" is created and written by award-winning playwright Peter Mattei who also serves as Executive Producer with Emmy Award®-winning Peter Tolan ("Rescue Me," "Analyze This") from Fedora Entertainment, Emmy Award®-winning actor Paul Giamatti ("John Adams," "Sideways") and Dan Carey ("All Is Bright") from Touchy Feely Films and Fedora Entertainment's Michael Wimer ("2012," "Rake"). WGN America has ordered 13 episodes of the one-hour drama.
For a slave living in the pre-Civil War South, the only road to freedom was a dangerous journey where failure often meant death. "Underground" follows the slaves who set foot on the fabled Underground Railroad, the secret network of men and women who risked their lives aiding them, and the mercenaries tasked with hunting them down at any cost. "Underground" is created and written by Misha Green("Sons Of Anarchy," "Heroes") and Joe Pokaski ("Heroes," "CSI") who also serve as Executive Producers with Academy Award®-winning writer Akiva Goldsman ("A Beautiful Mind," "I Am Legend") from Weed Road Pictures, along with Tory Tunnell ("King Arthur," "Holy Rollers") and Joby Harold ("King Arthur," "Edge of Tomorrow") from Safehouse Pictures.
WGN America and Tribune Studios
WGN America, the flagship entertainment network of Tribune Media (OTC:TRBAA), is nationally distributed in 71.4 million homes via cable, satellite and telco, with entertainment programming including the original, scripted series "Salem," "Manhattan" and "Ten Commandments," along with first-run Syndicated series, blockbuster movies and live sports.
