August Hedge Funds: Best, Worst, Biggest
Just a few blocks from Boston's historic money-management names like Fidelity, Putnam Investments, and Wellington Management sits a small asset manager that took its moniker from a comic-book hero.
The firm's founder, Joseph F. Patton Jr., was a U.S. Navy lieutenant who served a dangerous tour in Vietnam as a swift-boat captain in the late 1960s. His radio call sign on these high-powered, heavily-armed riverboats was Captain Marvel, after the 1940s Fawcett Comics superhero. The name "brought me a lot of luck," says Patton, so he put it on his firm, J.P. Marvel Investment Advisors, when he went out on his own in 2007.
That was a perilous time to begin a fund firm and full-year 2008 losses, while easily beating the market's 38% decline, still amounted to about 28%. Patton, who spent the bulk of his work life in Boston as a senior institutional salesman at the former PaineWebber, persevered. Over five years the Marvel portfolio has gained an average of 2.7% a year, beating the S&P's anemic 0.2% annual return through June of this year, as well as its U.S. equity peer group. Marvel runs mostly separately managed accounts for a management fee of 1%, using hedge-fund techniques to limit risk. A hedge-fund version, the Captain's Fund, will launch in January.
Two themes for Patton: The "energy story is being rewritten" in the U.S. and the Fed has given banks "a gift." Jason Grow for Barron's
Now overseeing $350 million, the opportunistic firm invests in 40 or so core equity positions, holds some bonds and uses both cash and options on its equity positions to offset its bets. Patton explains that the "10 top positions do the majority of the work" for Marvel, which conducts bottom-up, fundamental analysis on roughly 100 companies, visiting "tons" of them each year. Annual turnover is a very low 20%. Monsanto mon 1.0793172690763053% Monsanto Co.

He first got to know Monsanto in the past 10 years when he bought the little-followed stock for some accounts at just $6 a share. Today he thinks its seed and fertilizers can be a valuable aid to farmers who are contending with a fierce drought. Marvel purchased the stock in January, at $72; it was trading last week at $91.16 and he thinks it could top $100.
At present, Patton, who gained hedge-fund experience running the high-net-worth group for Longwood Investment Advisors, is focused on an eclectic group of energy stocks, big drug companies paying fat dividends, banks, and municipal bonds.
The energy story, says Patton, "is being rewritten in this country" because U.S. imports, as a share of global consumption, have fallen to 42% from 60% in 1995. At the same time U.S. oil production is rising faster than in any non-OPEC nation, he notes. Marvel has been buying QEP Resources qep 2.5091056252529342% QEP Resources Inc.

"A dozen years ago, shale gas represented only 2% of total U.S. dry production. It is now 37%," Patton says. QEP has stepped up its purchase of acreage in shale basins, and recently agreed to buy North Dakota oil assets, expanding its Williston Basin holdings. The shares trade at $32.04 and Marvel has a target of $35. It projects earnings of $1.45 a share in 2012, $2.10 in 2013 and $2.40 in 2014.
Like Monsanto, General Electric GE 0.521415270018622% General Electric Co.

Marvel projects the industrial conglomerate will earn $1.55 in 2012, $1.74 in 2013 and then somewhere north of $1.90 in 2014. That should allow the stock to hit the mid-20s over the next year, he estimates. Its once embattled finance unit, GE Capital, he notes, has resumed paying a dividend to its parent, and should benefit as U.S. housing regains strength. Pricing is improving in many of GE's main markets like aviation, turbines, and oil and gas servicing, and the company seems to be getting back on track in China. An added fillip: a dividend yield of 3%.
Although he's underweight the group, Patton does like a couple of banks in particular: JPMorgan Chase jpm 0.5489021956087824% JPMorgan Chase & Co. U.S.: NYSE USD60.45 0.33 0.5489021956087824% /Date(1416607215469-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 12107644 AFTER HOURS USD60.45 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 232806 P/E Ratio 11.112132352941176 Market Cap 225973525776.817 Dividend Yield 2.6468155500413566% Rev. per Employee 400580 More quote details and news » (JPM) and SunTrust Banks STI 0.025348542458808618% SunTrust Banks Inc. U.S.: NYSE USD39.46 0.01 0.025348542458808618% /Date(1416607527569-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 2587947 AFTER HOURS USD39.46 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 15851 P/E Ratio 11.885542168674698 Market Cap 20576653032.1143 Dividend Yield 2.0273694880892044% Rev. per Employee 313801 More quote details and news » (STI). The rebound in housing should help all banks and the Federal Reserve's new program of buying mortgage-related securities will furnish even more support, he says. SunTrust rated highly on a Marvel technical screening of bank stock prices and posted a positive earnings surprise not long after the firm bought shares. "Management is accelerating the cleanup of nonperforming loans, plus they are based in high growth states" such as Florida, the Carolinas, Georgia and Washington, D.C. With the caveat that the turn in housing could take awhile, Patton forecasts SunTrust will earn $2.80 next year and $3.14 in 2014. His price target for SunTrust is $34-$35 a share, up from $29.03 recently.
Patton also bought JPMorgan in part because of the Fed's largesse: "They've been given a gift," as he puts it. He prefers JPMorgan to other big banks because of its dividend and high-quality service. Unfortunately, he snapped up the stock before CEO Jamie Dimon revealed its huge trading loss in London. Marvel started accumulating shares at $41, and bought more when they subsequently fell to $32. The firm believes they're worth $46 to $50 a share. It forecasts earnings of $5.20 to $5.30 a share in 2013, and $5.62 in 2014. At a forward price-earnings multiple of seven, the stock is cheap and its dividend yield is 2.9%.
Dividends are also a major attraction in the pharmaceutical sector, where Patton believes investors have to take a long-term perspective. There are near-term worries about the group, but "no matter what happens with health care, there will be people buying drugs and there are more people 80 years old and older than ever before." His choices are Johnson & Johnson jnj 0.35355414960922965% Johnson & Johnson U.S.: NYSE USD107.86 0.38 0.35355414960922965% /Date(1416607462190-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 8140304 AFTER HOURS USD107.85 -0.0100000000000051 -0.009271277582050807% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 277074 P/E Ratio 17.566775244299674 Market Cap 301912017894.965 Dividend Yield 2.5959577229742257% Rev. per Employee 579407 More quote details and news » (JNJ), Abbott Laboratories abt 0.06852444038373687% Abbott Laboratories U.S.: NYSE USD43.81 0.03 0.06852444038373687% /Date(1416607343460-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 5446157 AFTER HOURS USD43.81 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1049662 P/E Ratio 33.97967889552471 Market Cap 65968706462.4205 Dividend Yield 2.0086738187628397% Rev. per Employee 312376 More quote details and news » (ABT), and Bristol-Myers Squibb bmy 0.3241767616447705% Bristol-Myers Squibb Co.

His largest position in drug makers is Bristol-Myers, which he picked up in 2009 when it was yielding 6%. The rise in the shares has cut the yield to a still respectable 4%. He thinks the stock could hit $40 from $33 recently.
A LESSER KNOWN HOLDING is LKQ lkq -0.1040943789035392% LKQ Corp. U.S.: Nasdaq USD28.79 -0.03 -0.1040943789035392% /Date(1416607200225-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 967744 AFTER HOURS USD28.79 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 12439 P/E Ratio 22.849206349206348 Market Cap 8724407026.70533 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 267757 More quote details and news » (LKQ), essentially a collection of junkyards assembled since the late 1990s. Financier H. Wayne Huizenga was an early investor in the company. The Chicago-based outfit provides replacement parts to repair cars and trucks in North America, Mexico, Central America, and the U.K. "It's a commodities play as well as a play on the aging automobile replacement cycle in the U.S.," Patton says. The stock is up to $19 a share, from $12 a year ago.
As any of their equity positions approaches its target price, Patton and his seven-person crew must decide whether to sell or not. If they still like the company, they sometimes will sell call options on a portion of its holding, thereby continuing to collect income but allowing some of its shares to be called away. "Options help us minimize the risk in the portfolio," he says.
Patton has over the years owned municipal bonds for individual clients and right now he likes this sector of the fixed-income market. He sticks to general-obligation bonds rated above "A" from issuers with solid balance sheets like Virginia's housing authority as well as the states of Texas, Delaware, and Indiana. "The wild card is taxes" as the fiscal cliff nears, he notes. "If taxes on high earners go up dramatically, municipal bonds will mathematically become more attractive."
The former Navy skipper doesn't waste a lot time sweating about things he can't control, like the stock market's next move. Still, he thinks valuations are "reasonable but no longer dirt cheap." His expectation for 2012 earnings of the S&P 500 is between $100 and $102 a share, a little lower than Wall Street's consensus of $105-$108. Throwing out the tech bubble period, the average multiple of the S&P 500 since 1990 is 16.4 times trailing earnings, notes Patton. He forecasts 2013 S&P profits of $106-$108 with the S&P index hitting 1,525-1,550. "That's about 14 times earnings and that's not expensive," says Patton.

Beth Dichter's curator insight, November 16, 7:39 PM
Have you wondered what connectivism is? This infographic, using information from Stephen Downes and George Siemens provides this definition for connectivism:
"...the thesis that knowledge is distributed across a network of connections, and therefore that learning consists of the ability to connect and traverse those networks."
What are the 8 principles? They are listed below but you will find much more information in the infographic.
1. Learning and knowledge rest in a diversity of opinions
2. Learning is the process of connecting specialized nodes
3. Learning may reside in non-human appliances
4. Capacity to know is more important than what is currently known
5. Nurturing and maintaining connections is needed to facilitate continual learning
6. The ability to define connections between concepts is important
7. Currency (accurate, up-to-date knowledge) is the intent of all connectivist learning activities
8. Decision-making is a learning process as information can change and what is viewed as correct one day may be incorrect the next
The second part of this infographic focuses on What Does an Online Connectist Course Look Like?
There is much information to be found in this lengthy infographic. It also includes a list of works consulted.

These so-called powerful people don't have any power. There is only one power, and that comes from within.
Any power that comes from outside is not yours.
As it has come, it will be taken away. So if you are intelligent you will not think yourself anybody special; you are just functional.
In a society of greater consciousness, more intelligence, government will become just a small functional order, it will not be an enslaving mechanism. On the contrary, it will help individuals to become more sharp in their intelligence, deeper in their meditation, and flowering in their enlightenment with great grace.
Only this kind of evolution in consciousness, which is going to happen. Perhaps we are born in the right age when the transformation is going to happen, because the situation is such that either the whole of humanity will die, or it will have to change. And I don't think anybody wants to die.
The only alternative is to be more conscious, more alert, more alive, more loving - and create a new world with a new man, bring a new dawn to humanity.

Take lessons from the Final Four
Watch and learn to become a better player
Its spring and love is in the air. At least until the Final Four is over, anyway. Obviously I'm not talking about romance. I'm talking about basketball and I'm starting to think that some young players are not being faithful.
You have to work at and pay attention to the love of your life if you're going to have a rewarding relationship. Basketball can be a demanding partner. It seems today that the willingness to spend time in the gym or studying and following the game is taking a backburner to simply playing games.
What do you hear college recruiters claim is missing? Focused skill workouts in addition to the games and practices of both high school and club teams. One of my favorite questions to ask recruits was always whether or not they were working on their game. All too often I would hear this:
"Oh yeah, I played here or there and then went to this open gym and then we played pick up at these courts."
That's not enough. Although shooting workouts are imperative, so are ballhandling skills, footwork, passing and cutting and a host of other parts of the game that aren't just going to appear come game time.
By the way, when you are shooting, be sure your goal is shots made and not shots taken. It doesn't matter if you got in 500 shots before school if you only made 75. If being late for school creates a little pressure on you to reach your goal -- even better.
Good coaches will tell you that skill development is about repetition. When you're just playing games, you have no control of when or how often a particular skill or situation may come up. Even if it does, you may go back to a bad habit because you're comfortable with it and want to win.
In skill workouts you can create situations and repetitions that will allow you to not only sharpen but become comfortable using whatever fundamental it is that you're working on. Just like with shooting, you set goals for accomplishing something with a specific skill and force yourself do it right time and again regardless of the results. In that setting you don't have to worry about winning or making a big play, just about getting better.
New or advanced skills often require more thought during a game and because of that occur too slow or seem somewhat mechanical. Your goal through individual workouts should be to take that thought and turn it into a reaction that you don't have to think about and can count on at any time.
I'm also surprised by the number of players who really aren't fans of the game. The players who have the most vested interest in the game and who are, in essence, its future, pay little attention to what you would assume is their passion.
As a coach you try to find out an athlete's level of knowledge about the college game during the recruiting process. I'm not talking about the specifics of a particular program or coach but about the game itself and the nuances that make up women's college basketball. Beyond their own recruitment, many prospects actually know very little about the game.
Of course you could argue that "playing" the game is where that passion really lies, but part of excelling at any sport is what you can take from others walking in your own shoes. A young athlete can develop by imitating, learning from and being inspired by players at the highest levels.
TV coverage of both the college and WNBA game continues to grow, along with internet coverage, offering more opportunities to learn basketball from some of the best in a flat-screen classroom.
It's great to know that Maya Moore is a great player or that Brittney Griner is changing the game. But beyond that know what exactly it is that sets Moore apart from the rest or why Griner made such incredible strides in her game since the start of her freshman season. It's not going to put you on the fast track to Connecticut or have you hanging on the rim in Waco but there just might be something that will give you an edge in your next workout or game.
As a player you have a relationship with your sport. You have to work at it and you have to pay attention to it. And just like other relationships you have to give something to get something back from it. Whether it's a person who makes your heart flutter or basketball -- if you just play games, you might end up with a broken heart.

'Scotland can top World Cup pool'
ESPN Staff
December 4, 2012

Scotland attack coach Scott Johnson is adamant that his side have the potential to top their pool in the 2015 World Cup despite being drawn alongside South Africa and Samoa.
Johnson has been linked with the vacant Scotland head coach job on an interim basis after Andy Robinson stepped down from the post in the aftermath of their loss to Tonga. And if he manages to secure the job on a full-time basis and leads Scotland into the rugby showpiece in 2015, he will come up against the current second favourites for the title, South Africa.
But Johnson is adamant that Scotland could surprise the Boks if they play to their potential. "We've shown form in the last few years that proves we can take the scalps of the big teams," Johnson said. "Trying to determine what theirs or our side will look like in three years time is like determining how big, fat and ugly I'll be in three years time, which isn't easy.
"The fact is if we get our parts completely right, we'll take on anyone on any given day. That's what we're aiming to do."
With South Africa expected to top Pool B, Scotland and Samoa will battle it out for the runners-up spot with Australia, England or Wales waiting in the quarter-finals. But Johnson refused to identify the South Sea Islanders as the pivotal match and believes it will be the most competitive tournament yet.
"I remember going for the draw for the 2003 World Cup and it was obvious the pools were very weak below the first and second teams," he said. "But looking at the pools for 2015, the third, fourth and fifth teams won't be easy. Japan will be in our pool and in three years' time they will be very good.
"If you take your eye off the ball and look at just one fixture it's not fair on the tournament nor the game. We've got to do our part and do it well. If we do that we'll pull through."
Johnson's sentiments were echoed by South Africa captain Jean de Villiers, who believes Scotland will benefit from the World Cup being hosted by England. "Being used to the conditions definitely gives Scotland an advantage," De Villiers said. "It's not too far from home for them so they'll have a lot of support. We've had Samoa in every World Cup we've played. That will be another tough one.
"World rugby is getting closer and closer together and the guys are getting more competitive so by the time we hit 2015 it will be a great show for world rugby."

Name: Darth Maul
Type: Real Action Heroes
Number: No. 354
Source: The Phantom Menace
Released: February 2008
License: Medicom Toy
Darth Maul was a weapon forged by the hateful energies of the dark side to ensure the victory of the Sith over the Jedi Order. A creature of pure evil, Maul had no personality beyond his ultimate devotion to his master, Darth Sidious. His goal was singular – to exact vengeance upon the Jedi for the decimation of the Sith ranks.
It seems that some of the biggest and coolest villains have the most untimely deaths in the Star Wars saga. But maybe that's what makes them so cool and last so long in the psyche of fans across the world. Because Darth Maul has this ironic longevity (in death, not life), the various licensees around the world have seen Maul as a proverbial cash cow and he is one Star Wars villain that has seen a plethora of collectible releases. In general, there is no shortage of collectibles based upon him. And there specifically was no shortage of one-sixth scaled collectibles when it came to Darth Maul either. Hasbro was probably the most guilty about pumping out one 12" Darth Maul figure after the other. For the most part they came out pretty well. Three immediately come to mind, but there were likely others if we searched the appropriate databases. It wasn't until Sideshow Collectibles and Medicom Toy took the reigns over one-sixth scaled collectibles that collectors were treated to the highest quality Darth Maul one-sixth scaled collectibles to date. The items they're producing are unreal in unmatched quality.
Sadly, not everything can be perfect on the first attempt. Perhaps the Real Action Figures Darth Maul succeeds as much as it fails, but it certainly isn't the best one-sixth version of Darth Maul out there. The outfit is much too shimmery and he almost has a giraffe's neck. That of course is an exaggeration, but look at it for yourself. What the heck happened there? What makes this painful is that the likeness is fabulous as is the costume underneath the shiny outer robes. He is a hair shorter than the average figure too. (All of the Real Action Heroes are manufactured in a slightly smaller scale than Sideshow Collectibles' 1:6 Scale Figures line.) Also, the Real Action Heroes body is of a higher quality than Sideshow Collectibles Art S. Buck body type. Don't get us wrong because both figures are excellent, we just think that the latter has more issues that make the figure look a little more awkward than it needs to be. While the body type is superior, we have to question the expression Medicom Toy decided to give Darth Maul. He is borderline cross-eyed at certain angles (because of the way his eyes are looking "through" his brow), but this is really being picky because the figure truly looks remarkable 99% of the time and it's really one of the best likenesses of Darth Maul that has ever been captured in one-sixth scale.
To be even pickier, despite a great likeness, we question the silhouette of the head. It seems a little bit too oblong which certainly isn't the shape of Darth Maul's head. He has a more boxy shaped head. But likely this is accentuated to look worse thanks to the terribly long neck (as we've mentioned briefly earlier). You think that this figure would have more negative than positive based on our complaints, but we're overall satisfied with the final result. It's not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but we still possess a strong fondness for it. However, if we had to pick only one 1:6 Scale Figures interpretation of Darth Maul figure for our collection, we would absolutely choose the Sideshow Collectibles version. It just is the better figure from head to toe. It is very important to note that the RAH Medicom version may have the superior paint job. It's excellent and Maul's tattoos are perfectly captured on his head. The horns are also very faithful to how they appear in The Phantom Menace (and are quite sharp we might add). Obviously there are many details to consider when choosing your own one-sixth Darth Maul figure. And there are a lot of options to choose from as far as Darth Maul is concerned. Choose wisely, because these things aren't cheap at all. Hopefully we have made it a little bit easier for you to choose.
Status: Darth Maul is an all-new figure utilizing the Real Action Heroes body type.

Design of a new lane along El Camino Real between Poche Beach and North Beach is still to be decided. A route protected by a barrier could actually be less safe for the mix of users on the path, some say.
San Clemente will apply for a federal grant to help fund a better bike route along El Camino Real between North Beach and Poche Beach. But a design is still up in the air.
On a 5-0 vote Tuesday night, the City Council decided to request a federal Highway Safety Improvement Program grant that could pay 90 percent of the estimated $740,000 cost of a bike route protected by a barrier.
The council agreed to leave open the proposed design after Pete van Nuys of the Orange County Bicycle Coalition suggested that replicating Dana Point's protected bike lane – which runs from Poche Beach north to Capistrano Beach Park – could make things less safe, not safer. He said the protected bike lane would end up being a multiuse route with a potentially dangerous mix of cyclists, joggers, dog walkers and people with strollers.
"It is essentially I-5 for bicyclists," local bicycle enthusiast Brenda Miller said of the protected bike lane.
Van Nuys and Miller endorsed filing for the grant but urged more consideration of a design. That shouldn't be a problem, Councilman Joe Anderson said, as the grant application doesn't specify a design.
The city already has won a $500,000 grant for the bike lane, which would leave the city paying $240,000, officials said. The higher federal grant – $666,000 – could replace the state grant, requiring the city to pay only 10 percent, or $74,000.

He is the only person in the WWE Universe who did not give a call or send a card. My girls asked why he didn't check on us like everyone else and I explained simply there isn't a camera at our mailbox or in the house when we receive our calls. I would ask respectfully Mr Bollea, for you to understand my girls hurt and just let some time pass before you say anything more." - wife of the Ultimate Warrior to Hulk Hogan

She is honestly one of the most down to earth people I have ever met.

Congratulations to Mickie James and Brutus Magnus. They're now parents to a new baby boy named Donovan Patrick Aldis. Mickie has been on a hiatus since becoming pregnant, only making sporadic appearances during the beginning. Magnus is expected to still be on the road with TNA, but that schedule is a bit easier now that the company is taping Impact Wrestling in advance.
September 25, 2014
There's a pretty long list of wrestlers who have gotten into acting over the years. You can add Brutus Magnus to that group, as the former TNA World Heavyweight Champion has been seeking out opportunities in Hollywood as of late. With his look and weekly exposure on Impact Wrestling, he has a bit of an edge over new actors in the industry.
June 12, 2014
"Why do internet fans and gossip writers always have to find an ulterior motive for decisions? It baffles and frankly irritates the hell out of me that these people always have to assume the worst, and report it as fact. More needs to be done in both companies to combat internal sources talking to these parasites. I was asked by a promoter recently if I lost the title because there was heat between me and John Gaburick, our Executive VP of Talent and Creative. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, 'Big' and I are able to freely express ourselves to one another, which means we get to speaks our minds properly, and we've had that relationship since he first arrived in TNA. "Furthermore, how ridiculous is that notion? Do you think if there was heat, that he would have put the title on me in the first place. On average, numbers went across the board while I had the strap. The job of the heel champion is to get the babyfaces over, and leave the place in a better state than he found it. Mission accomplished. "I can't wait to sink my teeth into my next chapter." - Brutus Magnus addressing rumors that he has backstage heat in TNA
May 28, 2014
It looks like TNA is investing heavily into Bram, a new character who recently made his debut as a childhood friend of former world heavyweight champion Brutus Magnus. Even though he has yet to make a name for himself in the industry, Bram has been given a multiple year contract by TNA. While it may not be for a large sum of money, the commitment is quite telling.
May 9, 2014
Rumors have been floating around for a couple of months now about Mickie James being pregnant, and the former TNA Knockout has now confirmed it during a recent interview with Totally Driven Radio. Mickie also revealed that she is due to give birth to her first baby some time in September. Former world champion Brutus Magnus is said to be the father.

Word has now come out that the former world heavyweight champion will be teaming up with MVP to take on Ethan Carter and Brutus Magnus.

In the main event of TNA Sacrifice 2014, Eric Young was able to defeat Brutus Magnus to retain the world heavyweight championship.

"I'm as grateful to Sting as anybody in the wrestling business for the benefit he has had in my career. Steve is a great guy and very very smart and just a model citizen as far as the way he conducts himself and how much respect he commands. There are some people who seem to be obsessed with respect and seem to be obsessed with guys not showing them enough respect but Sting is a guy who has never had to pull any stunts, never had to bully anyone, never had to throw his weight around or pull rank; he commands respect. The same could be said about Kurt Angle." - Brutus Magnus discusses how Sting is backstage
April 15, 2014
If TNA decides to keep the belt on Eric Young for the long term, an idea which is being tossed around backstage because of his marketing value at the moment, then management is going to push Bobby Roode up as a challenger for the world heavyweight championship. There are still talks of Brutus Magnus recapturing the belt at TNA Sacrifice 2014.

In an extremely shocking bit of news, Eric Young has defeated Brutus Magnus to become the new TNA World Heavyweight Champion. He had earned himself a title shot at the beginning of Impact Wrestling, where Young won a gauntlet match. Instead of waiting for the title shot, he demanded it on the same night.

When Bobby Lashley made his return to TNA, some felt that it might have been a temporary appearance. However, that was squashed when it was revealed that was back for an extended period of time. There are rumors floating around right now that TNA could use his name value to give some credibility to Brutus Magnus in a title program.
March 27, 2014
A picture of the official Slammiversary 2014 poster, which features Brutus Magnus as the centerpiece attraction. Behind him are Bobby Roode, Jeff Hardy, MVP and Kurt Angle, which has led to speculations that TNA could be doing a big world heavyweight championship match featuring all five of the performers.
March 26, 2014
Internally, TNA is hoping that they can build up Gunner over the next several months, so that he can become a title challenger for Brutus Magnus and the world heavyweight championship. His program with James Storm and fantastic match at TNA Lockdown 2014 helped increase his credibility in the eyes of the fans. Management will be doing more of that as well.
March 15, 2014
During a recent interview, Mickie James revealed that she is back in a relationship with Brutus Magnus. The former WWE diva and the current TNA heavyweight champion went through a breakup last year, but it looks like they have reconciled their differences.
March 14, 2014
It is now being reported that Mickie James is pregnant. She has been telling independent wrestling promoters that she is willing to make appearances, but she can no longer take a bump in the ring. The former TNA star recently revealed that she is back with Brutus Magnus again. The two had split up for a period of time.

When artists talk about wanting to party/get down/rock- 'n' -roll till the break of dawn, do you ever get the feeling they have something a little more risque in mind? Well, you're right. On Uptown XO's latest single, the Booth newcomer cracks the code, telling a shawty he's had his eye on exactly how he's looking to spend his evening: "All I Wanna Do is f*ck you all night long." It's a little more blunt than your average House Party Anthem, but who needs subtlety when you've got a sultry beat to set the mood for you? AB The Pro's sax-infused beat epitomizes retro suaveness, transforming the artist's bold-and-direct proposition into an offer the female in question will be hard-pressed to refuse. In addition to being an ideal house party selection, this joint is the perfect dedication for fellas too shy to express their lust to a girl straight-up (Disclaimer: the Booth isn't liable for any slapped faces or bruised egos that result from this strategy). If you like what you're hearing, you can find more new material from the DMV's hottest talents on Studio 43's Greatest Hits comp album, scheduled to drop soon.

Mammoth Road in Manchester closed after car hits pole
Jordan Levasseur, 24, of Manchester, was driving south on Mammoth Road near its intersection with Nelson Street about 9 p.m. Tuesday when she veered off the road and hit the pole, police Lt. Todd Boucher said. Levasseur, who was taken to Elliot Hospital for treatment of minor injuries, apparently became distracted while finishing a cell phone conversation, he said.
A Manchester fire official said the road would be closed until about 1:30 a.m. Wednesday while crews made repairs.

Red meat is delicious. So delicious, in fact, that consuming it every so often may make you a happier person. And while an indulgent steak once in awhile shouldn't harm anyone (other than the cow in question), the high saturated fat content of beef has been linked to a whole host of health woes, including higher blood cholesterol levels and heart disease.
But beef-lovers have always sort of had a way around that: Lean cuts that are low in fat but high in protein should be okay for you, right? Well, not according to a new study published in Nature Medicine, which found a potentially dangerous relationship between a compound found in red meat and the bacteria swimming around naturally in our guts.
The intestinal microbes in question were shown to convert beef's L-carnitine — a chemical also found in energy drinks and supplements — into a blood compound called trimethylamine N-oxide, or TMAO. The compound is typically associated with the build-up of congestive plaque in our arteries. Doctors call this condition atherosclerosis, and it's linked with — surprise — heart attacks.
"Bacteria make a whole slew of molecules from food," says study co-author Stanley Hazen, "and those molecules can have a huge effect on our metabolic process." To test if beef really does increase the level of TMAO in our blood, researchers enlisted dozens of volunteers — mostly "young, hungry students," says Hazen — and did what any good scientist does: They fed their subjects steak.
After consuming the beef, urine and blood tests showed that the volunteers' TMAO levels had indeed risen.
To make sure the culprit really was the gut bacteria outlined in hypotheses, the team had their volunteers take antibiotics to suppress the microbes. A week later, they again fed the participants beef. This time, however, the patient's TMAO levels were undetectable, "suggesting the conversion couldn't happen without bacteria present," says Science Now.
Further tests on mice revealed a similar relationship between L-carnitine levels and TMAO levels. "The finding should give pause not only to meat lovers, but also to people who take L-carnitine supplements, which are marketed with the promise that they promote energy, weight loss, and athletic performance," says Scientific American. Although the results are far from conclusive, this study could pave the way for further research to determine L-carnitine's exact relationship with arterial clogging.

SAN DIEGO — The Mexican government says a man from Mexico died after being shocked by a stun gun during a confrontation with U.S. Border Patrol agents at a California border crossing.
Mexico's Foreign Relations Department says Anastasio Hernandez died Monday at a hospital, days after he was shocked at San Isidro.
A U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokeswoman says Hernandez became combative Friday with agents who were preparing to hand him over to Mexican officials in Tijuana after he entered the United States illegally.
She says he ignored repeated orders to stop fighting but the incident is under investigation.
Mexico condemned the use of force.
