in Delaware to adopt new state best practice standards and policies.) First, maintaining and investing in regular assessments of the population is important so that population-level changes can be monitored. In the case of CACFP, ongoing assessment will be critical to evaluating the role that CACFP participation plays in children's dietary intake. According to Weber, Nemours encourages the collection of baseline data before the recommended CACFP meal standards are implemented. Second, certainly there is a need for data on the food and nutrient content of meals and snacks served in CACFP homes and centers, as well as participants' overall food and nutrient intakes and their alignment with current dietary guidance. In addition, Nemours also encourages the collection of information on provider characteristics and other factors that might influence the impact of CACFP on children's nutritional well-being. As examples, Weber listed caregivers' knowledge, awareness, attitudes, beliefs about changes to the nutrition standards, and beliefs about nutrition standards overall. Third, Nemours encourages the collection of data that can assess systems-level changes (i.e., policy, program, and practice changes) that, in turn, could lead to changes in population health outcomes. As examples of this type of data, Weber listed the number of child care providers who implement new standards and the speed at which they do so.
What baseline measures are particularly needed to track the impact of change to CACFP, such as those that were recommended in the recent Institute of Medicine (IOM) report?
The CACFP report (IOM, 2011) recommended substantial changes to CACFP meal requirements in an effort to bring the requirements into alignment with the best available dietary guidance and to improve consistency with the requirements of other USDA food assistance programs. The report also recommended steps for ongoing evaluation and periodic reassessment to determine the impact of the meal requirement changes on participants' nutritional well-being. As part of that process, the report recommended that "USDA should take appropriate actions to establish the current baselines prior to implementation of the new Meal Requirements for comparison purposes" (Program Evaluation Recommendation 2, IOM, 2011). Thus, the question was raised: Which of the measures discussed throughout the course of the workshop would be especially informative to collect before the meal requirement changes are implemented?

Dates of Inventions, Discoveries and other Developments.
This section complements the pen portraits 'Great Engineers and Pioneers and their Education' on this website.
Again it must be stressed that the industrial revolution was driven by craftsmen like James Watt, self- taught business people like Matthew Boulton and artisans like Henry Maudslay. It did not develop from London or through royal patronage but from Cities like Glasgow, Manchester and Birmingham. The universities played little part it its creation as many of the inventors and individuals never attended formal educational institutions and as the history of technical education identifies dissenting academies, mechanics' institutions and working men's clubs etc. made important contributions to their education as did the apprenticeship schemes active at that time. However the majority were self-taught and possessed a remarkable inherent, innate talent and outstanding manual skills.

The recent spinach E.coli scare has triggered a new wave of worry about germs, especially for parents.
However, zapping those sick bugs is relatively easy.
Battling those sick bugs can be tough, especially for parents.
For most people, the real threat isn't potentially deadly bacteria, and it isn't found in the produce section.
They are young and cute and ooh so full of potential, including the germ spreading kind.
David Weber, M.D., Infectious Disease Researcher says, "Anybody who has young kids knows they bring lots of diseases home, they are major sources; not only the flu, they often bring home viral gastroenteritis," which are bugs that have been known to hang around on common classroom surfaces for up to three days.
That is why kids and anyone that comes near the little germ spreaders are encouraged to indulge in hand washing many times a day.
Germ Researcher Emily Sickbert-Bennett explains, "Hand washing is a great way to prevent the spread of diseases!"
Since the average youngster can touch up to 300 germy surfaces in 30 minutes, the more hand washing, the better.
However, getting the soap, water, and child to come together and stay together in one place is often challenging to say the least.
So here's the good news mom and dad: "10 seconds! We found [that amount of time) very effective for removing the bacteria and viruses in hands," says Sickbert-Bennett.
Also, don't forget the elbow technique for coughs and sneezes.
Expert says children catch about eight colds a year.
Combined, they lose nearly 22 million school days due to the common cold alone.

The 26th of July is the most sacred day of Cuba's communist revolution, commemorating 51 years since that fateful day that began the insurrection against Fulgencio Batista. The article that follows is excerpted from Chapter Four of Miguel A. Faria, Jr., M.D.'s book, Cuba in Revolution - Escape From a Lost Paradise (2002). The references refer to citations in the text of his book.
The date of the Moncada Barracks attack, July 26, 1953, would give Fidel Castro the name of his organization, the 26th of July movement, and would become the most sacred date of communist Cuba. And, speaking of sacredness, why did Fidel Castro choose the 26th of July for the commencement of his Revolution? Sources tell us Fidel chose July 26 because the patron saint of the city of Santiago de Cuba was the Apostle James the Elder. In medieval Spanish tradition he was resurrected as Santiago the Moorslayer, the avenging angel of the Spanish knights during the Reconquista, as well as the charging fury that led the indomitable conquistadores of Hernán Cortes when battling the Aztecs of Mexico.
The saint was honored every July 25, which also coincided with the end of the sugar harvest, hence...
The Incorruptible, Maximilien Robespierre, the Voice of Reason, did not give the French people a Republic of Virtue but a bloody reign of terror incited by mob rule, and the descent into barbarism with the mass killings of men, women, and children by their own government, not because of their deeds or misdeeds, or any real crimes, but because of their birth, opinions, and associations -- or simply, for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
The guillotine was kept busy during the Terror, and when it was not fast enough cutting commoner and aristocratic heads, other grisly methods were used, such as burning, hacking, stabbing, shootings, even cannonades. In the city of Nantes, the sanguinary Carrier instituted the brutal "republican marriages" whereby naked men and women were tied together and thrown into the Loire River. Others were simply tied to barges that were scuttled with resultant mass drownings, the infamous noyades.
At the time of the King's Trial, many deputies spoke, acted, and voted in fear of their lives (even Danton alluded to this, "it's our heads or theirs," according to author, Stanley Loomis), after all, they were deliberating in the belly...
July 14 is Bastille Day, a national holiday in France that commemorates 215 years from the day a Parisian mob stormed the "infamous" prison and commenced the upheaval of the French Revolution. The collapse of Soviet communism should not deter the invocation of the dreadful legacy of the French Revolution, the same revolution that a century later inspired the even bloodier Russian Revolution and its communist aftermath.
The French Revolution began not with the clamor of the common people but with the theoretical conjectures of the blue-blooded aristocracy and the high clergy of the ancien régime, who had fallen for and become enamored with the writings of Jean-Jacques Rousseau and the views of the enlightenment.
This was convincingly demonstrated in the Assembly of Notables in February 1787, a gathering of wise men that King Louis XVI (photo, right) called for and convened to help him solve economic problems afflicting France, particularly the lack of solvency. This Assembly of Notables, in turn, advised the King to call the Estates General, the body which traditionally had the authority to raise taxes but which had not been summoned since 1614 during the reign of...
Enrique Encinosa's most awaited, comprehensive history (in English) of the Cuban people's struggle against the 45-year-old communist dictatorship of Fidel Castro has finally arrived. The book chronicles in riveting detail, chapter after chapter, the heroism displayed by the Cuban people in their fight against repression and tyranny.
Encinosa uses the voice of the actual participants (who he has carefully interviewed over the years) to tell the story - and what an epic (and brutal) story he has to tell to his widening readership!
The book covers the triumph of the Revolution in 1959; the subsequent disillusionment of many revolutionary leaders as they realize that Castro was building a communist police state; the founding of the resistance movement and the underground networks; the rounding up of the opposition; the development of the rebel insurgency in the Escambray mountains and elsewhere, opposing communism and collectivism; the betrayal at the Bay of Pigs; the courageous struggle of the political prisoners (particularly the plantados); the heating up of the Escambray wars and Castro's massive retaliation in the Luchas Contra Bandidos (the so-called war against...
The old saying goes that if the flak gets heavy, you know you must be over the target! The heated responses of both Drs. Dunsker and Carmel to my article suggest we have actually scored a bull's eye and hit the target. Perhaps, tort reform itself will finally come into the cross hairs of enactment soon! Although respected neurosurgeons, these medical politicians have become not only AMA apologists of the highest order, but are attempting to do the impossible: defending the indefensible - i.e., the failure of the AMA to persuasively and successfully convince Congress to enact meaningful tort reform after nearly thirty years of haggling over the momentous issue.
The fact is that the AMA leadership* has not only lacked the will and determination but has also failed to concentrate its resources in a vital issue of the most importance to a large segment of its physician members, not just neurosurgeons but also obstetricians/gynecologists, thoracic and orthopedic surgeons, etc. And yet, it has found time to immerse itself in public relation (politically correct) campaigns such as domestic violence, gun control, binge drinking on college campuses, etc.
Drs. Dunsker and...
While both the Patients' Bill of Rights legislation, allowing patients to sue HMOs in state court for unlimited damages, and tort reform, providing physicians judicial relief in medical liability, have stalled in the 107th Congress this year --- these intertwined problems of health care litigation will not disappear for long from the political landscape.
You can be sure that the political, smoldering fire of the medical liability crisis will be fanned ablaze after both the problems of terrorism and prescription drug coverage for seniors have been settled. So in anticipation of this eventuality, a recapitulation of the AMA's campaign for the implementation of tort reform in the last several years is in order to better understand where we have been and where we might be headed in the physicians' (particularly neurosurgeons') seemingly perpetual struggle for meaningful and substantive medical liability ("malpractice") tort reform.
Premiums for physicians have skyrocketed and medical liability insurers are leaving many states and abandoning their former client physicians, leaving them without coverage. Obstetricians have been particularly hard hit in this medical...
In "Alexander Orlov: The FBI's KGB General" (2002), former FBI agent Edward Gazur tries to prove the impossible that KGB Gen. Alexander Orlov was a true defector, a man who switched allegiances from the Soviet Union to America and repudiated international communism.
Gazur ardently believes that Orlov, who became his friend and whom he ultimately came to love as a father figure, genuinely cooperated with the FBI and the CIA. This (his own) book unfortunately proves quite the opposite.
Orlov did denounce Stalin, who had annihilated many of his compatriots in the various purges, but he was not a defector in the true sense of the word, and he did not deserve the honors or the protection this country extended to him and his family.
Orlov never fully cooperated with U.S. authorities and certainly did not help preserve the freedom and security of the country that sheltered him and his family during their many years on the run from the KGB, as well as the 15 preceding years when he hid from the FBI and CIA.
Curiously, Gazur wrote his tome after an FBI colleague brought to his attention a book entitled "Deadly Illusions" (1993) by John...
Writer's note: Difficult as it is to be critical of a friend and ally on the war on terror, Great Britain has instituted a cruel and unjust gun-control policy, a worsening evil, upon her law-abiding citizens that needs correcting. The title of this essay comes from the seemingly paradoxical unrelenting tide of thievery and burglaries that has swept Great Britain, and was so dubbed by the London Sunday Times in 1998.
Have you read about the strange case of Tony Martin and Britain's du jour gun-control injustice? In the October 2003 issue of America's 1st Freedom, Wayne LaPierre, NRA executive vice president, revealed in perfect clarity how Great Britain's stringent gun-control laws and abolishment of the right to self-defense have brought the birthplace of classical liberalism to the footsteps of tyranny.
Who are the bad guys?
Briefly, 57-year-old British farmer, Tony Martin, who lived in a remote farmhouse in England and had been terrorized several times by burglars, shot and killed such an intruder in his home. Another thief accomplice escaped.
For this act of self-defense in his own home and in the same country where the great statesman Sir...
In Part I of this review of "Democracy Delayed - The Case of Castro's Cuba" (The Johns Hopkins University Press, 2002) , we discussed how the hapless Cuban people living in a vacuum, possessed with a dearth of information coming from within and from without the island have quietly turned against the communist regime and that transition to democracy could take place in Cuba, if certain conditions are met.
And yet, the critiques of his book (mostly from partisans at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC), who wanted to oust him from that academic bastion of liberalism, amount to nothing but an academic purge.
Among the other criticisms, they posit that Cuba cannot be compared to Eastern Europe, and that Prof. López did not take into account the "Gorbachev Factor." These criticisms, frankly, are nonsense. López tackles both of these issues in his book in a logical and convincing manner.
One must then surmise that Prof. López's critics either didn't read the book or are basing their imputations on politics and ideology, rather than real knowledge or diligent study of the direful situation in Cuba today.
True, the Cuban people are subject...
When Juan José López, PhD, a political scientist, proudly dedicated "Democracy Delayed - The Case of Castro's Cuba" (The Johns Hopkins University Press, 2002) - his first book - to his wife Myrna and son Juan Carlos, he could not have anticipated that he would indeed need every bit of their moral and physical support.
The young scholar would need it to withstand the all-out attack leveled against his person and professional reputation at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC), where he was employed as an assistant professor. Prof. López's transgression was unforgivable for he had violated an article of faith in the leftward-leaning ivory tower of academia.
In "Democracy Delayed," López had dared to express the views that Fidel Castro's tyrannical rule in Cuba no longer enjoys popular support and that democratic transition in the Caribbean island is possible - if only the people led by the democratic opposition had the necessary material support, as well as independent sources of information, as the Eastern Europeans enjoyed in the late 1980s.
Political transformation has not taken place in Cuba, as it did in East Germany, Czechoslovakia, and Rumania in...

A large fight sends one man to the hospital with stab wounds.
The Lincoln Police Department says they were called to the 600 block of West Butler at 3:20 Sunday morning on reports of a large fight.
When they got there, officers say the combatants scattered, but three were injured.
The first was a 20-year-old with four stab wounds: two to his right side, one to his upper arm and one on the back of his hand.
He was taken to the hospital, treated and released.
An 18-year-old had a cut to the back of his head and another person was hurt but it's unclear how.

Today, I have a very special guest speaking with me over the phone. His name is Dr. Hubert Karreman, and he is the veterinarian at the Rodale Institute. The Rodale Institute was founded in 1947 by organic pioneer J.I. Rodale to study the link between healthy soil, healthy food and healthy people.
Before he joined Rodale, Dr. Karreman founded Bovinity Health, a small company that provides natural veterinary products for large animal medicine. He also founded his own solo practice, Penn Dutch Cow Care, which he operated for 15 years as a holistic large animal practitioner.
Dr. Karreman now works primarily with certified organic dairy farmers as a consultant. He also lectures widely on natural treatment options for cows, which is the topic of our discussion today.
Entering Veterinary School: A Childhood Dream Comes Full Circle
I asked Dr. Karreman to talk a little about his career path as a large animal veterinarian. He replied that he grew up in the suburbs right outside Philadelphia, in Bala Cynwyd, PA. His dad was a professor at the University of Pennsylvania. Like many other children, Dr. Karreman wanted to be a veterinarian for cats and dogs when he grew up. He was very influenced by books by James Herriot (author of
All Creatures Great and Small, among many others), which he read during elementary school and junior high.
When Dr. Karreman was in the eighth grade, the veterinarian his family used came to his school to give a talk about his profession, and Dr. Karreman was even more motivated toward his goal of becoming a DVM.

NASHVILLE — With no discussion, the House today sent to Gov. Bill Haslam a bill authorizing a limited, four-year study of the effectiveness of cannabis oil on certain types of intractable seizures.
Representatives voted 97-0 for the bill, sponsored by Rep. Mike Carter, R-Ooltewah.
The bill authorizes hospitals affiliated with university medical schools to conduct studies on the impact of low-THC content cannabis oil on certain types of seizures.
THC, that is, tetrahydrocannabinol, is the chemical that gives pot smokers their "high." Carter and other proponents say users could drink "gallons" of the oil without getting a psychoactive reaction.
Last week, senators approved the bill, sponsored by Sen. Todd Gardenhire, R-Chattanooga on a 23-4 vote.
The bill authorizes Tennessee Tech to cultivate marijuana with the very low TCH content.

Thousands of Africanized bees removed from home
Published On: Aug 06 2012 06:46:57 PM CDT
Thousands of Africanized honey bees were removed from a home near Katy on Monday.
Cheryl Speakers had several beehives in her garage. After living with the bees for five years, Speakers could not take it anymore and called Gotcha Pest Control for help.
"I was afraid to get out because, I never actually got stung, but they just swarm around if you got near them," said Speakers.
Claude Griffin suited up and tackled the job that took almost two hours.
Honey was dripping down the walls of the garage.
Neighbors said the bees frightened them.
"I don't think they are friendly," neighbor Eugene Zakzewski said. "You mess with them, they are going to take you out."
The cost to remove hives the size of Speakers' is about $2,000.

Place of Birth
Despite having a lot of charisma, Joey Ryan was not signed to a developmental contract by WWE after his tryout match against Great Khali last year. He has now revealed that management informed him that they were not picking him up because he had recently left TNA. It was too soon for them to bring him on board, despite the fact that he would not be on Monday Night Raw or Smackdown for a while.

"He just signed with us. I was there when he had his tryout at the WWE Performance Center and I met with him there. We've been working on this for a while. His training will start when he gets here. The thing is, you can be a big star anyplace else in the world. That gets you in the door. What you do once you get here is a whole different ballgame. He's no different than anybody else once he walks through the door of the Performance Center." - Triple H on how Kenta Kobayashi will be treated in WWE
July 17, 2014
When LeiD Tapa was released by TNA back in March, there were rumors that she might be a candidate to join the WWE developmental program. However, the company has shown very little interest thus far. In fact, she has not even been invited for a tryout yet. While some are citing her lack of experience, which she is trying to fix by working with OVW, many are pointing out that WWE has had no qualms with signing female performers who have absolutely no experience in the wrestling industry before.
July 8, 2014
While a lot of independent wrestlers are hoping for just a chance to do a tryout with WWE, Cody Hall is on the other side of the fence. The son of Scott Hall has turned down the company several times, stating that he does not want to join their developmental program until he establishes himself on the indies and internationally. Hall wants to achieve things on his own merit.
June 5, 2014
Rumors have it that WWE has been signing some of the best international talent to their developmental program. Names like Kevin Steen, Prince Devitt and Kenta Kobayashi have surfaced as potential candidates to join the company later on this year. Unfortunately, though, WWE will not be bringing in Sarita, long considered one of the best international female performers in the business. She received a tryout with the company back in March but no contract has been offered.
June 4, 2014
While the possibility looked bleak initially, it appears that WWE is set to sign Kevin Steen to a developmental contract. Optimism for his signing was not very high after he received a tryout with the company. However, someone in the WWE front office has convinced management to give the former ROH champion a chance, despite his physical appearance not being up to the company's standards.
May 19, 2014
Earlier this year, the hot rumors were that Kenta Kobayashi was going to be signing with WWE after the Japanese star came to the United States and did a tryout for the company. The industry was a bit shocked recently when it was announced that Kobayashi was leaving Pro Wrestling NOAH, his longtime home. The belief is that he no longer wants to work the physically demanding style in Japan.
May 8, 2014
While a lot of fans in the United States are hoping that he ends up joining WWE, there are rumors floating around that Kenta Kobayashi could be signing with New Japan instead. A lot of speculation has arisen since his contract with Pro Wrestling NOAH expired earlier this week. Kobayashi did do a tryout for WWE earlier in the year.
May 1, 2014
Back in January, a buzz was created when it appears that Kenta Kobayashi was going to be signing with WWE since he worked a tryout for the company. However, the company never gave him a contract, and he Kobayashi returned to Japan. Pro Wrestling NOAH has just announced, however, that their longtime star is leaving the promotion, which has started rumors about Kobayashi finally joining WWE.
April 30, 2014
Tom Latimer recently had a tryout match with TNA, and he feels confident enough to believe that he is going to be receiving a developmental contract with the company. This bit of news is made especially interesting because he is married to Ashley Flair, the daughter of the legendary Ric Flair and a developmental wrestler in WWE NXT.
April 25, 2014
"I had met Jim Ross and Jerry Brisco before I was even in college and they always told me to get your degree first and then we'll give you a shot if you want to come try your hand with the WWE. I graduated in May 2006, flew out to Atlanta for a week to tryout, and by July 2006 I was signed and training in Atlanta. I took a little bit different path than most WWE superstars have taken. I'm one of the few superstars who have gone through all three of the developmental camps." - Jack Swagger reveals his path to the WWE developmental program
April 21, 2014
It has been a couple of weeks now since Kevin Steen was rumored to have done a tryout with WWE, and very little news have surfaced since then in regards to the situation. The belief is that the company will not be signing Steen at the moment. He seems to be doing just fine, however, as Steen continues to consistently be booked by ROH and the independent wrestling circuit.
April 18, 2014
"I never really wanted to go to WWE. The tryout there was awesome. It was really fun and I can't say enough good things and I learned a lot, but I told a few of the guys during the initial tryout with Eddie that this was not for me just because moving down to Orlando is not what I wanted to do and wrestling is not the only thing I want to do with my life. To give up everything and just live in that world is not my idea of a great life or a perfect life. TNA offered me to be able to wrestle with some of the best wrestlers in the world, I could be on television, I could go and entertain crowds but I could still come home and be Wes. I could be Davey, then I could be Wes. It was just better for me and I couldn't be happier in TNA it's been great." - Davey Richards on choosing TNA over WWE
April 14, 2014
Earlier this year, Shanna was given a tryout by TNA and many were under the belief that the independent wrestler was going to be signed by the company. While that has yet to happen, Shanna has let everyone know that she is still interested in showing up on Impact Wrestling some day. Dixie Carter has been signing several performers over the last few months.
March 16, 2014
Over the last couple of months, Joey Ryan has grown increasingly vocal about his tryout and dealings with WWE. While he does harbor some resentment towards Bill DeMott, he showed gratitude and respect towards William Regal, who asked him to move to Florida and work as a trainer in the developmental system for the company.
March 5, 2014
Earlier this year, it was reported that Kevin Steen, the longtime ROH star, would be doing a tryout for WWE, and it has now been confirmed that he will be doing so at the WWE Performance Center from March 24 to March 26. Several other independent wrestling stars are scheduled to be doing tryouts that week as well.
February 28, 2014
It has been a couple of weeks now since he was at the WWE Performance center, and it looks like a developmental contract will not be offered to Kenta Kobayashi. When he returned to Japan and downplayed the tryout, many were under the impression that the company was not interested in bringing the international star on board.
February 19, 2014
While everyone in the company is fully aware of his reputation as a performer on the independent wrestling circuit, WWE is said to be very curious as to what type of shape Kevin Steen will show up in for his tryout with the company. The belief is that if he does not show up in the best shape of his life, then management will more than likely pass on a contract.
February 15, 2014
Long viewed as one of the more talented performers on the independent wrestling circuit, it now appears that Kevin Steen will be getting his chance at a WWE contract. The former ROH heavyweight champion has been invited to do a tryout for the company. If all goes well, then he will join the developmental program.
February 13, 2014
While most fans have probably never even heard of him, Bobby Fulton did get a brief stint in WWE. It was during the summer of 1997 when he was given tryout matches against Tommy Rogers, whom he teamed with as the Fantastics. He stated that Jim Cornette used them to convince Vince McMahon to start a light heavyweight division.
February 8, 2014
From the sounds of thing, Kenta Kobayashi doesn't seem like he is going to be signing a developmental contract with WWE after all. He has given the impression that he will be sticking with Pro Wrestling NOAH for the time being. Kobayashi has also downplayed the tryout by stating that it was informal.
February 5, 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
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.
August 13, 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
WWE has announced that the Andre the Giant memorial battle royal will consists of Alberto Del Rio, Big E Langston, Big Show, Brodus Clay, Christian, Cody Rhodes, Damien Sandow, Darren Young, Dolph Ziggler, Drew McIntyre, Fandango, Goldust, Great Khali, Heath Slater, Jinder Mahal, Justin Gabriel, Kofi Kingston, Mark Henry, Miz, R Truth, Rey Mysterio, Santino Marella, Sheamus, Sin Cara, Titus ONeil and Zack Ryder. There are also four spots available for last minute entrants.
March 25, 2014
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.
March 20, 2014
After being absent for quite a few weeks, the Great Khali has made his return to WWE, joining the live events tour this weekend. He was paired up with Brodus Clay, who has been spending time in developmental. Khali was given the victory. The former world heavyweight champion has not worked a televised match since the first Monday Night Raw of the year.
March 17, 2014
Since WWE has been phasing out the Great Khali over the last few weeks, there is a very good chance that he could be allowed to walk away from the company when his contract expires. If that were to happen, then Jinder Mahal might finally get his push, as he is a decent worker, does not get in trouble and is on a relatively cheap contract.
March 17, 2014
The Great Khali made his return to the ring this week by working a match against CJ Parker at the WWE NXT taping. Prior to that, he had not worked a match since Royal Rumble 2014. The belief is that the former world heavyweight champion is going to be given a spot at Wrestlemania 30 in the Andre the Giant memorial battle royal.

Morning Brew – Friday, Feb. 25: Jessie J says she's always been open about being bi, Lisa Cholodenko on her Oscar snub
It's Friday!
Sarah Jaffe has released a video for her song "All That Time" and I dig its simplicity.
British pop star/songwriter Jessie J says she doesn't know why the press is making such a big deal about her saying she is bisexual. She Tweeted:
For all the people congratulating me on 'coming out' or confirming I'm 'bi' lol-I have NEVER hid my sexuality. The press just like to grasp anything and make it gossip or an exclusive *hype* I love who I love. I will never label my sexuality. If its a boy its a boy if its a girl its a girl. #simple #whoyouare #thereisaidit
She also told the show In: Demand:
I've never denied it. Whoopie doo guys, yes, I've dated girls and I've dated boys — get over it. It's not a secret, but it's the only thing they can grab onto.
So there you have it. Jessie J = bisexual and not into the media saying she's "revealed" or "admitted" it.
Mary Queen of Scots famously dressed in drag in the 1500s to get out of the palace and into local pubs so she could drink. Although she wasn't necessarily a lesbian, a new novel called The Raven's Heart fantasizes what would have happen if she were.
Bonnie Sommerville, aka the lesbian character from Cashmere Mafia, has been cast in the new ABC pilot Other People's Kids. She plays a divorced mom. Yay?
You guys, Daniela Sea is a a new film that also stars a Backstreet Boy. She's looking quite feminine as a housewife in this '60s era movie called The Casserole Club. A big difference from her character on The L Word, that's for sure!
Here's a behind-the-scenes interview with Daniela on set.
The film is in post-production now, so we'll keep you posted on when and where we can see
Kevin Richardson's O face and die it.
NPR talked with the cast and crew of The Kids Are All Right about their Oscar nominations, and Lisa Cholodenko was asked why she thought she was snubbed in the Best Director category.
I don't know. I don't know. I mean, it feels a little bit inappropriate for me to comment on it, you know. I look at the other films and I see things in those films that I don't see in my own. So, you know, it would be easy to be self-disparaging and say oh, well, you know, I didn't blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, and that's the sign of a great director.
But if I'm being, you know, sort of have my ego in a healthy check, I would say, you know, there's something unfortunate about not being recognized for the accomplishment of handpicking these, you know, spot-on actors to play these roles, doing a film in 23 days for very little money and getting these kind of Oscar-caliber performances and then having a script that's also been nominated in honored, it's hard to say: Well, where's the director in that equation?
So I think as other people have commented on it, you know, it's a style of directing that I think is a little more invisible. It doesn't draw attention to myself. It really lets the script and the actors do their job, and it doesn't have busy, flashy camerawork, partly because we couldn't afford it and partly because it isn't my style to be intrusive that way. And so, you know, maybe that's not in vogue right now.
Can you believe the Oscars are this Sunday? We'll definitely be doing some live Tweeting of it. Let's make the hashtag #AEoscars!
Charlotte Chandler has penned a biography of Marlene Dietrich, fittingly titled Marlene, which will be released at the end of March. However, Chandler didn't delve into Joan Crawford's sapphic side much in her previous biography, so I wonder if she'll be leaving out the good stuff yet again.
I feel like this Tweet needs no comment.
One of our AfterEllen.com readers let us know that the Born This Way blog featured her recently, and I have to say, I'm right there with you in that early crush on Tatyana Ali, girl. If you're not familiar with BTW, it's inspired by the Lady Gaga song, but it's all about LGBT people submitting photos and stories of themselves as youngsters, and the things that pointed to their sexuality and gender identity early on.
Today in Lesbianish TV: The Ellen DeGeneres Show (check local listings), House (USA 12 p.m.), The Talk (CBS 2 p.m.), The Rachel Maddow Show (MSNBC 9 p.m.), Degrassi(TeenNick 9 p.m.), Out of Practice (Universal HD 10 p.m.), Portlandia (IFC 10:30 p.m.), Cat Cora on The Best Thing I Ever Ate (Food Network 10:30 p.m.) and Amber Heard on Jimmy Fallon. (Thanks Roni!)
Have a great weekend!

Named after the great chorus teacher himself.
Named after the great chorus teacher himself.
Man, Bill should've gotten the role, but the judge was a real linner and it went to the guy that biffed his audition.
by David Gustafson June 07, 2004
The meal between lunch and dinner, just as brunch is the meal between breakfast and lunch.
We went on a hot linner date at 3pm.
by Cheeze Monkey August 26, 2003
a meal between lunch and dinner. (very important meal)
what do you want for linner?
by Mikkel Krogh April 21, 2008
The meal that is eaten when it's too late for lunch and too early for dinner. It should be substantial enough to last through the evening and therefore make it possible to skip dinner all together.
I'm hungry. I didn't eat lunch at 12 and probably won't eat dinner at 6, so lets have linner at 4.
by annieoakley120 September 26, 2010
Having Lunch really late which eradicates the need for having Dinner later on.
Oh, you can carry on, I dont feel like having anything, I just had linner.

I purchased this for a friend so she would have more oven space for Christmas dinner. She seemed satisfied with the product.
This did exactly what I needed it to do, it roasted my 17# turkey perfectly, although it took much less time than an oven takes, I put the larger bird in the convection oven on roast 325 degrees, and they were done at the same time. It does not brown the food/poultry like an oven does, no problem, though, I just browned both in a very hot oven for 1/2 hour (450 degrees) then put in the preheated 325 degree roaster. I will use this often!
I cannot accurately rate this product as it was a gift, however, it arrived intact . I have Hanilton Beach products and have not had problems with any of them.
I love this product but it did come dented on one corner from the shipper. I needed it two days later so my husband took it apart and pulled the dent out and checked the heating unit. It worked great I am going to order another one but I have plenty of time to return before I need it so I can return for poor shipping.

An Interview with Lauren Stamileby Steve Marsi at . Comments
Grey's Anatomy finally returns tomorrow, for what will be the last episode we'll see until the writers' strike comes to an end. It's extremely sad, but at least "Lay Your Hands On Me" is shaping up to be rather interesting.
One reason? Rose. The character introduced a few episodes ago, and played by the lovely Lauren Stamile, has done nothing but spark controversy. Here is an interview Lauren recently did with E! Online's Kristin Veitch ...
E!: I heard your mom and dad met just like Rose and McDreamy.
Lauren Stamile: Yes! My mom is a nurse, and my dad is a doctor, and it's actually kind of cute, because you know how they wear the surgical masks? Well, my dad saw my mom's eyes, and that was it. Very romantic.
Lauren Stamile (Rose), Patrick Dempsey (Derek), Ellen Pompeo (Meredith).
E!: So, what was it like the first time you met Patrick Dempsey?
Lauren Stamile: I met him in my last meeting [with the producers], and I didn't realize how nervous I was until I met him! He's definitely one of the most charismatic and charming people I have ever met. I wasn't ready, I don't think. I was laughing and red and embarrassed and probably ridiculous looking.
E!: How very Rose-like of you!
Lauren Stamile: Yeah, I was so very much myself during that audition. I wasn't sure at first if that was good or if that was bad. I guess it wasn't too bad.
E!: So, how jealous are your friends that you're smooching McDreamy?
Lauren Stamile: Very! [Laughs] I would be, too, if I were them. My family is very excited. I can't quite believe that's really my job!
Lauren Stamile: I was nervous. A scene like that is always nerve-racking, it just is. And usually my way of coping with things like that is talking about it. So, I said to him, are you freaking out? Because I'm freaking out. I was very upset I didn't have hair in that scene, I had the shower cap on. I don't even look cute, I look like a turtle. So, I spent time making fun of myself and then he made fun of me, too. We laughed our way through it. It ended up being very comfortable and nice, actually. But it was definitely a nerve-racking day.
E!: Now the money question: Will there be more kisses for Derek and Rose?
Lauren Stamile: I don't know. I think I'm like everybody else in that I don't know what's going to happen. I think their relationship could kind of go either way. I guess we'll have to wait until things start up again after the strike.
E!: Have you heard what the fans are saying about Rose?
Lauren Stamile: I've heard some. I try not to look at the blogs or anything like that, because I am sure there are many people who are not happy. But my family and friends tell me, "Oh, yes. There are people who are not happy." But there are people who are happy, too, so I'm sure that's probably happening.
E!: What do you want to happen for Derek and Rose?
Lauren Stamile: Well, gosh. I was a very big fan of the show before this job, and there was an episode where Derek was saying to Meredith, "I want to have children with you, I want my life with you and I will wait." And I remember, when I was watching that episode, I was like, "Oh! I hope nobody comes along, that's awful, they need to be together!" And now I'm realizing,"Oh, that might be me." So, I think they've been going on a back-and-forth thing for a long time, and I think sometimes, the way you truly value somebody is to see what it's like not to have them. It might even be good for their relationship if things took a turn for a little while. And if that involves me, I would be very pleased. [Laughs]

So your saying that Meredith aka me is UGLY??? You are a really sick and stupid bastard JJ and MC and all Rose fans what the hell does rose have that meredith doesn't?? you sick stupid son of a bitch bastards!
Why is rose still in the show????? she really sucks. I find it very disgusting to watch her with derek. What has happen to greys anatomy? was a good show but now it really sucks with rose in the picture. mer/der is and will always be a perfect couple.
Weirdos. She's the best thing to happen to the series in quite a while.
she needs to freaking dissappear maybe you weirdos haven't seen the recent episodes or something because the women is horrible acting like such a freaking freak please she needs to go. asap
I agree with JJ, Meredith is annoying, has been annoying, and will probably continue to be annoying. Rose is indeed more grounded, mature, clear-minded and HOT. Derek deserves someone with less baggage than Meredith has. If Meredith is indeed her mother's daughter, then she needs to get over her relationship preoccupation and move on with her career.
C'mon! Meredith was getting - and still is - annoying. Rose is far more grounded, mature and clear-minded which makes her a better fit with McDreamy. Plus she's HOT. I agree with the previous poster that she's the hottest woman on the show since Addison. I don't understand how anyone thinks Meredith is good-looking. Izzie, Lexi, Callie...they're nice looking. But Christina and Meredith? Yuck. Would LOVE to see Derek and Rose become a couple.
Ugh. Why hasn't Rose been written off yet? She is one of the two most annoying characters on the show right now (ties with Ava on that one). She has zero chemistry with Derek. Remember their first kiss? It was so awkward that I wanted to throw up. And her tongue/petting line in the last episode? First off, ew. Second, she couldn't even deliver it with wit. Why did the writers cast this retard? Can't act, goofy-looking and not attractive...I don't get it!
I think Lauren Stamile is a beautiful women. Her character, Rose, is a positive add to the story line. Mererdith should know she can't play around with Derek's feelings. I look forward to seeing more of her in Season 4. I am definitely a Lauren Stamile fan now. Go Rose!
I don't mind the actress, but am not too keen on the character. I hope Mer and Der work out and not in the last ten minutes of the show. I'd like to see them work it out, become an actual couple again, take steps- become more serious, and if they're getting married, not in the series finale. Maybe part way through the last season or second last. Not straight away or at the last possible minute. And I hope the writers don't give us any doubts that they belong together. Hope Rose doesn't make Derek a completely unbearable character. He just hasn't been himself lately.
P.S. I've really come around on the whole Lexie story. I'd be happy to see her stay around. She could be good for Meredith. Meredith could do with some remotely sane family.

The Colombian government is involved in ongoing talks with left-wing insurgent group Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC). At the same time, the peace talks are accompanied by sustained or open-ended ceasefires, as well as disruptions of the country's pipeline network, carried out by rebels, so the country is still dedicating large amounts of GDP to maintaining its significant armed forces. This trend is set to continue in the near term, with medium-term expenditure set to rise.
As one of the highest military spenders in the Latin American region, Colombia, BMI expects, will perform USD12.5bn of defence spending in 2014. For the remainder of the forecast period (2015-2018) we expect Colombia to spend an average of USD16bn annually on defence, with the defence budget reaching USD18.6bn by 2018.
We have given Colombia an overall security risk rating of 65 for Q414. On average, the country has scored an overall security risk rating which averages 59 for the period January 2009 to Q414. We believe that Colombia retains a low risk of becoming involved in a major interstate conflict. Nevertheless, it remains susceptible to terrorist attack and thus has a low rating in this regard. Similarly, the country is considered to be at a high risk of experiencing a major terrorist attack.
The incumbent president of Colombia Juan Manuel Santos was re-elected in June 2014. Santos will serve a four-year mandate following his win of 51% of the vote beating his rival Oscar Ivan Zuluaga. Following the victory, peace negotiations with the FARC guerrilla group in Cuba are expected to continue. Shortly before the presidential election, Santos revealed that the government has also begun negotiations with the ELN insurgent organisation.
In May 2014 Santos announced that the peace talks with FARC had made significant progress saying that they had got 'the farthest we have ever come in trying to end the war'. FARC and government negotiators have reached agreement...

New Year's eve in downtown LA
We live in San Francisco. It looks like we'll be in LA on New Year's eve and we're looking for a nice, upscale restaurant in the downtown area. We prefer a place that serves its regular menu rather than some special New Year's thing. This will be our third New Year's eve in downtown LA (think Rose Bowl). The last two times we've gone to the Water Grill. It's been very good but we were thinking of trying someplace different. Looking at Zagat, the only other hightly rated restaurants downtown are Roy's and Patina(where we went and were disappointed). Are there others? Thanks.
SLUM IT!!! Give up on fancy fine dining establishments and go somewhere ethnic and delicious. We've got Little Tokyo and Chinatown down there and both offer really good stuff for great prices.
Also, your proximity to any subway service is good for getting to the Hollywood or Silverlake area where you have a really decent dining experience. Just because you are downtown doesn't mean you have to stay there.
It's a buck twenty-five to ride the train and there's some great food in the areas covered!
In my opinion, the WaterGrill is the best there is downtown. Many of the other high-endish places downtown (e.g., Nick & Stef's steak house, Zucca (fancy Italian), Cafe Pinot (Cal/French), all of which can be found here: http://www.patinagroup.com/ ) are in the Patina group, and if you didn't like Patina, you probably aren't likely to be impressed by the lesser siblings (although I guess you never know).
Other, non-Splichal, possibilities:
Cicada (617 S. Olive St., (213) 655-5559), which is one of the most striking settings in LA, with good, if not great, high-end Italian food.
Checkers Hotel (http://www.hiltoncheckers.com/diningC... ) where Thomas Keller once cooked, is nice, but in my opinion, a bit fussy.
Engine Co. 28 (644 S. Figueroa, (213) 624-6996), not as up scale, serving decent American comfort food.
Ciudad (http://www.ciudad-la.com ), also not as up scale, serving Latin American cuisine as interpreted by "hot tamales" Feniger and Milliken.
The Palm (http://www.thepalm.com/sitemain.cfm?s... ), which is, I think, pretty good for steaks and lobster.
Hope this helps. If I think of others, I'll add another post. (And, if it were me, I'd stick with the Water Grill.)
Avoid the Patina group-- I bet you that all the restaurants will be overpriced, underspiced, and crowded as hell. Why? I have no clue. Maybe people like consistently bland food?
I agree with David. The Water Grill's probably the safest bet. I've heard that Noe at the Omni is good, albeit a bit...80s (in both decor and execution, whatever that means)?
There's a Roy's, but I have no idea how it'd compare with the one in Hawaii. For what it's worth, my parents like it.
I agree with staying away from most Patina group restaurants, I was going to suggest Nick & Stef's Steakhouse downtown but just found out that it's part of the Patina group. Went there once and was pleased with the steak prep and side choices: http://www.patinagroup.com/nickStef/
Surprisingly not many "good" fine dining options in Downtown LA. But plenty in other parts of Los Angeles.
I cannot think of a better restaurant for New Years than Traxx... hugely underrated & has that 1940's films with all the New Years Eve parties... feel to it.
re: Eat_Nopal
I completely agree! I haven't been to Traxx in years, but it was such a special place that I have remembered and wanted to go back since! The menu is interesting, the ambiance is wonderful...for a special New Year's dinner? Definitely!
re: Pipes416
Just confirmed with Traxx that they (and R23, for the record) are closed on NYE.
Roy's was surprisingly good during my one visit, but you know you're in a chain when the waitress comes over for the first time and says, "Aloha..."
If you like sushi, R23 and Sushi Gen in Little Tokyo are among this city's best.
Well unless you are planning on attending the Giant Maximus NYE event, then I also agree with slumming it and heading over to Little Tokyo. The Giant Village event is expecting thousands of paty-goers, taking over 7 acres, between 8th & Figueroa.
How about something fun and casual like Haru Ulala or a little more upscale Izayoi. Both Izakya joints. As a SF hound, this could be something you'll enjoy, very unique experience!
It sounds like you're in Pasadena, not Downtown L.A. Have you looked into gettin tickets to a show and then dinner in the real downtown area? We get stuck at home because of the fireworks - dogs being scared and such - but we used to go the Dorothy Chandler and then find food in downtown L.A. pretty easily. Or you can always get a car, go to Geoffrey's on PCH, (great place to view the sunset on the beach, or Charter House if they're not open), go to House of Blues for the crowd and Yamashiro for cocktails. Finish up at a local bar - - - - OH! hey, how about the Pacific Dining Car? Hell, I can't remember the exact name, but maybe somebody else will. Overpriced, but an L.A. land mark.
I think there's an Arnie Morton's downtown which might have a regular menu. I think the problem with upscale places is that they will tend to have "special" menus at a price. FWIW, I've found Roy's good but nowhere near great. Here's a rundown on newer places: http://www.downtownnews.com/articles/...

Your donations of food and funds will help us go into summer strong and well supplied to meet the demand.
|"The Legal Food Frenzy is a great opportunity for Georgia lawyers to challenge each other outside the courtroom for a noble cause – reducing hunger in Georgia. I was thrilled by the tremendous response to last year's competition and look forward to an even more successful drive this year. I encourage each and every lawyer in Georgia to join us in lending a helping hand to our less fortunate neighbors." – Attorney General Sam Olens
|"The tremendous success of the Georgia Legal Food Frenzy during its first two years shows everyone what the legal community of our state can accomplish when we make the effort and work together. Collecting and contributing more than 842,000 pounds of food to help needy children and families across the state last year was truly amazing. But we are still just getting started. We all know those numbers can continue to grow each and every year. Let's ramp up the competition and make 2014 the first year we go above and beyond 1 million pounds of food – assisting even more families and further fulfilling our collective duty to help others." – State Bar of Georgia President Charles Ruffin
|"Upon our admission to practice law, we were given a great opportunity: an opportunity to serve others. And for the past 68 years the members of the Young Lawyers Division of the State Bar of Georgia have time and again seized upon this opportunity by serving both our profession and, just as importantly, the public. The Legal Food Frenzy presents us with our latest opportunity to serve and, in the process, an opportunity to take another step toward eradicating hunger among our fellow Georgians. It is my hope that you will join with me in seizing this opportunity to serve by participating in the 2014 Legal Food Frenzy." – State Bar of Georgia Young Lawyers Division President Darrell Sutton
|Georgia Legal Food Frenzy Co-Chairs:
|Jessica Nix
|Lisa Robinson
|Katherine Willett
|(The Georgia Food Bank Association is comprised of seven regional Feeding America food banks which collectively distribute more than 103 million pounds of food annually to over 2,300 partner nonprofits with food assistance programs in all 159 counties in Georgia.)

UPDATES: FBI And DEA Foil U.S. Terror Plot With Ties To Iran
"UPDATES: FBI And DEA Foil U.S. Terror Plot With Ties To Iran"
The FBI and DEA agents have disrupted an alleged Iranian-backed plot to launch a "significant terrorist act in the United States," which allegedly would have targeted the Saudi Arabian ambassador to the United States and potentially Israeli diplomats as well. "Bombings of the Saudi and Israeli embassies in Buenos Aires, Argentina, were also discussed," ABC News reports. Iran has been listed as a "state sponsor" of terror since 1984 and the new plot began in May when an Iranian-American from Corpus Christi, Texas approached a DEA informant seeking the help of a Mexican drug cartel to assassinate the Saudi ambassador.
The complaint alleges that this conspiracy was conceived, was sponsored and was directed form Iran, and constitutes a flagrant violation of U.S. and international law including a convention that explicitly protects diplomats from being harmed.
In addition to holding these individual conspirators accountable for their alleged role in this plot, the United States is committed to holding Iran accountable for its actions.
