October 12, 1972 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD-SENATE s 17605
The Senate proceeded to consider the
resolution CS. Res. 377>" to provide a temporary
moratorium on Federal coal leasing
in the State of Montana, and for
other purposes.
Mr. MOSS. Mr. President, I reluctantly
accept the fact that there is small likelihood
of a comprehensive surface mining
bill this session. As the chairman of the
Interior Committee said when he tiled
his amendment in the nature of a substitute
to S. 630 on Friday last, there are
two very different bills pending before
the Congress. H.R. 6482 which was passed
last night by the House ditfers vastly
from S. 630 and its various amendments.
The chairman of the House Interior
Committee ftled separate views with regard
to the House bill ostted downwind on
fa.rinland tmd communltle,;," the study
It c&lculaied the plants would produce
anywhere from 94,500 to 787,500 tons of fiy
ash a year and as much as 1.87 million tons
of nitrogen dioxide.
The prevaUing wlnd most. likely would
carry the pollution eestward across the wheat
fields and prairies tmvard the Black HUls.
"The Black Hllls-they'll be black, bl:tck
with soot," said Rep. George Darrow, a member
o! the Montana :House vf Representatives,
the Chairman o! the state's Environmental
Quality Council and a geologist.
Montana. Power Is constructing two 360-
megawatt units at Colstrip, Mont., where Its
subsidiary, Western Energy, Is strtp-Inlnlng.
It Is using the first of the proposed Inlne
mouth plants.
An alternative to these plants, whloh some
consider obsolete and Inefficient, Is gaslftca.tton
plants the.t turn tdle coal Into synthetic
pipeline gas. Steam generators convert only
30--40% of the coal's energy into electricity
whlle gasification has a 60% et!lclency rate.
Possible pollution !rom gasification plants
Includes sulfur compounds, a.mmon:ta, hydrogen
cyanide and hydrogen chloride.
PLANTS PLANm:n
Two gasification plants a..re under consideration
tor Dawson County, one near Hardin
and another near Sarpy Creek, all in southeastern
Another possibility, given additional ·tedllnology
development, Is multiproduct cowplexes
that produce electt'lclty, liquid and
ge.s fuels and petrochemicals. Their coal and
water demc.Il(!s would be enormoU5.
It Is een the traditional ihlstory of Montana---
exploitation of lts resources wtth a
minimum of economic benefit to the state.
"We a.re le!·t with a. hole In the ground
and the reaource Ls gone forever."
Strip mlnlng Is not new to Montana. In
1923, the Northern P.a.clflc RaUroe.d (now
Burlington Northern) began strlp-mln1IJ3
coal !or Its steam locomottvoo at Colstrip
and continued untll 1958.
South of Colstrlp, the old NP spoil!! bo.nks
still rise like giant lumps of white dough,
arid and eroded, agal.nst the blue sky. Only
occas1on6.1 tufts o! weeds decorate them.
Some !res.r these are a harbinger of eastern
Montana's future landscape.
Rep. Darrow believes the coal developmen.t
"has to be done wt.th far mOl'e e.ctvance planning
and foratbought" than there has been.
"The mining oowd be accomplished with
a minimal amount of l~nd disruption," he
said. "We don't need to open up a dozen
mines simultaneously and have s<:Mtered
fragmented exploltati.on."
Only now Is ooane elfollt beginning toward
finding answern and toward planning for
what most regard a.a the lnevtte.ble.
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 21, Box 48, Folder 43, Mansfield Libary, University of Montana
. October 12, 1972 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD-SENATE s 17607
Mrs. John Cross of Glendive told a meeting
of t.he Economic Development Assn. of East-
• ern Montana: "Events are ha.ppening so fast
that few Montanans fully realize what effect
the so-called coal development Is going
to have on their lives and on their environment.
We wUI soon oo In the position of lockIng
the barn a.fter the horse Is stolen."
A task force of state agencies was recently
formed to provide comprehensive planning
that would consider social, economic and
environment&! fa.ctors.
The Bureau of Land Management, meanwhile,
Is delaying aotlon on lease a.ppllcatlo .
"Why lease further areas when you 't.
know what you are doing?" one Bure om.
clalln BUI!ngs said.
No such concern Is expressed by
of Indian Affairs, which has
and options on nearly 600,00 res of Crow
and Northern Cheyenne In n land In Eastern
M. W. Babby, Indian Affairs assistant area
director In Billings, Indicated he !eared that
unless the coal was exploited now It would
become valueless when new energy sources
were found.
"We are going ahead and leasing It," he
said. "It Is an asset, and there are Indications
coal will be a salable product !or only a few
A recent General Accounting OtHce report
noted that the BIA takes the position the
Environmental Protj!ctlon Act does not apply
to Indian lands and environmental Impact
statements are not required !or coal exploration
and mining projects.
The report criticized both the BLM and
the BIA !or falling to comply with Interior
Department and environmental regulations
for coal leasing and reclamation.
Perhaps the biggest question Is whether
the land can be reclaimed at all without
constant and endless care and fertilization.
Optimists point to the experiment of
Richard L. Hodder of the Montana Agricultural
Experiment Station, financed by Western
Energy at Its Colstrip mine. He Is studyIng
various combinations of contouring, surface
shaping, fertilizing and vegetation.
Hodder belleves strip mining and reclamation
can be one continuous process. In his
method, when earth Is removed to get at coal,
It Is used to fill any adjacent hole where a
vein already has been mined. The spoil banks
are then contoured, fertilized and planted
as part of the reclamation project.
"I think reclamation Is very possible over
the long haul," he said. "Certainly I have
demonstrated that It Is on the short haul . ..
I thing the potential Is very great !or producing
more than what the area produced
previous to mining."
But a rancher ln the area said, "With the
amount of fertilizer they are spreading on, I
could grow grass on a roo!."
Hodder said, "We are trying to reproduce a
country similar to what Is here now-not
the fiat-topped buttes-but less high highs
rounded In such a Irregular fashion that they
will fit Into the natural landscape."
Hodder warned that reclamation work had
to start before extraction did not continue
simultaneously. Core samples must be analyzed
to determine whether topsoil should be
stocltplled and what kind of vegetation will
above $1,000 an acre.
The Burllngton Northern has begun reclaiming
the old NP spoil banks at Colstrip
and estimates It wlll cost $1 million !or one
thousand acres-41,000 an acre.
Montana law required that companies post
bonds to guarantee reclamation. But Northey
sald the maximum limit Is $500 an acre.
This could be less than the cost of reclamation.
Mr. MOSS. Mr. President, it now appears
there is little possibility of Senate
action on surface mining legislation be-fore
adjournment. If the Senate does not
act on the surface mining measure this
year, I call upon the leadership to make
the consideration such legislation the
No. 1 priority o e 93d Congress.
I pledge ' ou, as chairman of the
Subcommi e on Minerals, Materials
and Fue hat I will do all I can to report
the Senate a strong balanced
e by March 1 of next year. H.R.
, S. 63, and the .Tacksan amendment
ve an excellent basis upon which to
Mr. MANSFIELD. Mr. President, I
have listened to the remarks of the able
Senator from Utah (Mr. Mossl with
great interest and I recognize he is accurate
in his analysis of the current situation
on surfac~ mining legislation. I
hope that Congress will take the initiative
in adopting strong surface mining
legislation this year. I appreciate the efforts
of the Senate Interior Committee in
reporting the resolution which would
place a temporary moratorium on coal
leasing and development on public lands
in Montana.
The issue of surface mining and the
consequences associated with this method
has created a most difficult problem in
the West. Because of projected power
shortages, many interests see development
of these vast coal deposits as new,
untapped sources of energy. This must be
approached cautiously. I believe too little
attention is being given to conservation
of our energy sources. Commercial exploration
of these coal resources in Montana.,
Wyoming, the Dakotas, and other
neighboring States without appropriate
controls can-lead to ultimate disaster far
exceeding anything experienced in
I have given considerable thought to
this issue in recent months and I have
come to the conclusion that the only way
the interests of my State can be fully
protected is to adopt an absolute moratorium
on all new strip mining on Federal
lands until such time as it can be
demonstrated that the developers have
and will use appropriate technology to
achieve necessary reclamation of these
mined lands for future generations. Such
a moratorium is necessary in view of the
inability of the Congress, the Executive,
and the individual States to adopt appropriate
I believe the various Federal agencies
involved in administering the vast acreage
of Federal lands in the West have
been derelict in refusing to issue regulations
governing surface min1ng. These
agencies were put on notice some 2 years
ago but, to date, they have offered nothing
in the way of constructive programs.
The Congress has addressed itself to this
situation but, because of the very serious
conflicts between industry and environmental
interests, we have not been able
to muster sufficient support. It is an issue
that must be given a position of priority
in the 93d Congress.
I also believe that the individual State
legislatures are going, to have to address
themselves to this issue. In the State of
Montana, large coal development companies
are acquiring surface rights without
concern for the individuaL The landowner
is forced to accept the offered
price because of State laws. Private
companies holding mineral rights have
the power of eminent domain. A large
portion of eastern Montana was settled
under the Homestead Act. At the time
the United States patented land to
homesteaders, I am convinced that it
was not contemplated that these lands
would be subjected to strip mining.
We in the Congress have the responsibility
of protecting the individual
rights. I do not want to see the ranchers
and farmers of eastern Montana forced
off their land in the name of coal development
which would leave the eastern
part of the State an ugly eyesore to
plague future generations. We sympathize
with the most difficult situation
facing our friends in Appalachia who live
with the disastrous effects of uncontrolled
strip mining. We have a responsibility
to see that this part of our Nation
is given all possible support in its efforts
to redevelop.
Mr. President, again I wish to recommend
as strongly as I can the need for a
total ban on all new strip min1ng on
Federal lands until we have a satisfactory
program of reclamation. I believe
that new laws governing reclamation of
mined lands should not only apply to
Federal leases but also to any private
lands from which coal or other minerals
enter interstate commerce. I am as interested
in the economic development
of Montana as any resident of the State
but I certainly am opposed to uncontrolled
destruction of the land. I might
point out that the ultimate benefit
from the proposed min1ng power genera~
Uon program will not be in Montana.
Power generation is designed to meet
the increased demands of the urban
areas far away from· eastern Montana.
I have discussed this issue many times
with my colleague, Senator LEE METCALF.
whom I know shares my concern as a
major proponent of strong surface mining
legislation. I want to go on record
today stating that Congress will hear
more on this subject .from the Senators
from Montana in 1973.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The question
is on agreeing to the resolution.

Wyatt Earp
This bit of history is brought to you by Old West Antiques, "Where the Old West Comes Back to Life".
Many of you will remember in the movie Tombstone when Wyatt alluded to killing a cowboy in Dodge City while trying to control a group of drunken cowboys.
Well it was on this day, July 26th in 1878, while attempting to preserve the peace in Dodge City that Assistant Marshal Wyatt Earp traded shots with a band of drunken cowboys, fatally wounding one of them.
It was the only time Wyatt was forced to kill a man until he arrived in Tombstone and took a stand against the outlaw bunch known as the "Cowboys".
Can you imagine what is was like to live in Dodge City, a place described as, " The Bibulous Babylon of the Plain", " Queen of the Cow Towns" and " A Wicked Little Town". A place that at any given time you could run into the likes of; Clay Allison, Charlie Bassett, Jesse Chisholm, Buffalo Bill Cody, Shotgun Collins, Big Nose Kate, Eddie Foy, Charles Goodnight, Dora Hand, Doc Holliday, Rowdy Joe Lowe and wife Rowdy Kate Lowe, Bat Masterson, Mysterious Dave Mather, Luke Short, Squirrel Tooth Alice, Ben Thompson, Bill Tilghman (the best of the best lawman in the old west), and a host of others that I know I've missed.
A place where in 1879 a visitor reported 700 residents, 14 saloons,2 dance halls and 47 prostitutes. It was also reported that gambling ranged from 5 cent chuck-a-luck to $1,000.00 poker pot. Almost every top rated gambler made it a point to visit Dodge City. Dodge City's wide-open reputation was all the draw needed to get your average man to want to stop by and do a little drinking, try his luck at the tables and chase a few girls.
That sure would have been something to see.

Finishing Your Degree
If you do not possess that document saying you have attained a college degree, and a degree is needed, then where are you going to work?
Fifteen years ago I was parked next to another cop who told me he decided not to go back to college to finish his degree (even thought the agency paid him to do so), because in his words, "I'm gonna do this until I retire; I love it." He failed his probationary period, was fired, and had nothing to fall back on. Another officer questioned my sanity when he asked why I would pay someone to give me homework rather than work an extra job for overtime. I still recall waking up after a few hours of sleep having worked midnights only to start typing a midterm paper while watching my 18-month-old son outside playing in beautiful spring weather, wishing I were with him instead of what I was doing. It was a sacrifice I made and I am not sure it was ever worth the price. In the end though, that piece of paper that said I had accomplished something starting paying me back, slowly.
Tarnished Badge
Face the facts you are getting older. At some point you won't be a cop anymore for a variety of reasons. It used to be, in my time, you stepped out of police-work when you were injured or had met the required age limit in order to collect your pension. In other words, you worked your tenure and your equipment showed its age. Today, cops are being involuntarily separated from service due to the economy in massive numbers and the hemorrhaging of blue uniforms isn't likely to stop anytime soon. The latest economic forecast touted by the White House indicates it will take another three to four years before local and state governments start collecting the revenue streams it did in 2007, which economists consider the beginning of the Great Recession. That means shrinking budgets until at least 2013, if all goes well, and more pink slips for cops.
If you do not possess that document saying you have attained a college degree, and a degree is needed, then where are you going to work? With the economy so bad you might wonder that even if you had a degree where would you find a job regardless? As my mentor told me once, "Having a college degree is like needing to wear a tie to get into a fancy restaurant; you have to have one to get in." If you are doing what you want to in life and know absolutely life will never change then why pursue a college degree? That's the problem. Life changes and nothing is guaranteed. A college degree will never be of true value until you need it, and you can't obtain it over night. It takes years. Anything you ever learned that is of value cost you something. You paid for it dearly either monetarily, with time or effort. Finishing your degree will take the same effort, but there are better ways of doing it today.
Work Smarter Not Harder
I'm not so sure I ever really learned that rule, but what I have found is that obtaining your degree is much more accessible now than ever before. I earned three degrees the hard way; sitting in class night after night for years. That's known as the brick and mortar way, however, just because someone has the title, "Professor" or "Assistant Professor" doesn't mean they earned the right to stand in front of you because they are the "Expert". On more than one occasion I learned that the "Professor" in front of me was only qualified to teach the topic because they earned a Doctorate. In other words they took classes from some other clueless individual for three more years than I did and wrote a book about it. In terms of operational experience they never did anything. As a matter of fact, they read about what I did on the street and then talked about it in class! It's what you have done that makes you knowledgeable; not what you have read or what someone has told you. A world-class fighter pilot doesn't learn best by reading about flying, or what they are told about it; they learn by having air pass under their seat at Mach 2.

The seaside of village is located at a distance of about 71 km. south of Chania, at the end of Cape Mouri. It is believed that this was the site of the ancient city of Finikas, and was the port of ancient Anopolis. Later, it became the winter time port of the town of Sfakia, due to the fact that the enclosed bay and the small island in its entrance create a natural harbor where ships can be safe even at very bad weather conditions.

The Apple Map Click to Pick
View The Apple Map in a larger map
By Meredith Goad firstname.lastname@example.com
Staff Writer
Not so long ago, an apple was just an apple. As long as our fruit was colorful and crisp - and maybe organic – that was all we cared about. We went apple picking in the fall, made our pies, and called it good until next year.

Orchards enjoying a sweet harvest
Last year was a bad year for Annette and Phil Terison, owners of Terison Apple Orchard in Cumberland.
First, there was frost. Then, in August and early September, "it was so hot that the macs were just dropping off the trees," recalled Annette Terison.
This year is another story. Despite concerns about Hurricane Irene, Terison calls the apple crop at her family's 35-acre orchard "very good." The Terisons grow mostly Macintoshes and Cortlands.
"The warm weather in the summer, with the rain, definitely helps," she said. "Right now our apples are just saying 'thank you' for all this rain, because they're going to get really big." She was worried about hurricane damage, but that never materialized.
Renae Moran, a pomologist and educator with the University of Maine Cooperative Extension, says damage from Irene was mostly from wind blowing apples off trees. "Overall, I think we lost 10 percent of the fruit from this," she said. "Some people lost trees from strong winds, but not many."
Most Maine orchards have a large apple crop that is ripening on schedule, Moran said, and most farmstands and orchards are now open. Summer apples have mostly gone by, but Macintosh and Honeycrisp are on deck and ready for picking.
This has been a good year for peaches as well, thanks to the mild winter, and European plums (prune and gage plums) are also in season.
The "apple whisperer" speaks
LEARN MORE about heirloom apples at one of John Bunker's autumn appearances:

SEARSMONT, 1:30 p.m. Oct. 12 at Searsmont Historical Society, 37 Main St. S.
NOBLEBORO, 7 p.m. Oct. 14 at Nobleboro Historical Center, 198 Center St. (Old Route 1). There is no address on the building; it's an 1818 schoolhouse located just in front of Nobleboro Central School.
In recent years, however, the public's apple IQ has soared. Go to the farmers market – even the grocery store – and varieties are labeled so that you know more about your choices. Pick Gravensteins if you're making a pie, Macouns for applesauce, Ginger Gold if you're adding apple to a salad.
We also know more about rarer heirloom varieties, thanks in large part to Maine's own John Bunker of Palermo, the man dubbed the "apple whisperer" by The Atlantic magazine.
While interest in apples is blossoming elsewhere in the country as well, Bunker has probably turned more Mainers onto the fruit than anyone else. Who knew apples could be white, orange, purple or even black? Or that the flavor of some of these older varieties could be so intriguing, giving us a glimpse into how our ancestors lived?
Bunker's influence has led to orchardists planting more heirloom varieties to satisfy public demand, and the interest in learning more about antique apples is as high as it's ever been. In October, the newly formed Downeast Food Heritage Collaborative will be hosting Downeast Heirloom Apple Week in Ellsworth, which will feature everything from an apple festival to school programs teaching children about the fruit.
The week's events include lectures by Bunker; Peter Hatch, director of gardens and grounds at Monticello, Thomas Jefferson's home in Virginia; and Ben Watson, author of a key reference book on cider, who will be talking about the history of hard cider and explain how to make it.
For years, John Bunker has been traveling around Maine on "fruit explorations," hunting down old trees in out-of-the-way orchards and abandoned farms that may have been bearing fruit for 100 years or more. He lectures around the state, always encouraging his audiences to bring in apples they've found in their old orchards so he can try to identify them and solve the mystery of where they originated.
I first interviewed Bunker in 2002, when he was passing around Old West-style "wanted" posters for apples he couldn't identify. At the time, he had just rediscovered the Hayford Sweet, and was closing in on the Marlboro and the Fletcher Sweet.
Since that interview, while still sleuthing for apples, Bunker found time to write a book. During apple season, he gives at least one lecture a week. Four young apprentices now live with Bunker on his farm, hoping to soak up some of the pomological knowledge he has filled his head with over the years so it won't be lost.
"They also help us do things like plant the peas and harvest garlic and bring in firewood," Bunker said in an interview last week. "But their passion is learning about the apples, and how to take care of them and how to identify them and how to do the whole fruit exploration thing. It's very rewarding. It's fun. It keeps me on my toes, and it's nice being with people who are a third my age."
When I interviewed Bunker nine years ago, he estimated that of the 250 apple varieties that originated in Maine, about 30 had been rediscovered. He now says that number has probably doubled. Other rediscovered varieties may not have originated here, but were commonly grown because Maine's oil and climate suited them well.
"Intuitively, one might think that at a certain point, I would have identified enough so that it would have tapered off," Bunker said. "But it seems to be picking up steam, and I would attribute that to just the increased interest over time, that more and more people are thinking to themselves, 'Oh geez, isn't there a really old orchard right down in the neighborhood here? I wonder what that has?' "

Home » Zach Gowen » Promotion
Zach Gowen
Real Name
Zachary Gowen
Date of Birth
March 30, 1983
Place of Birth
Since his Reality of Wrestling promotion has been making a lot of progress as of late, there are rumors that Booker T could be leaving WWE soon to focus on running his company. However, that does not appear to be the case. Booker is intent on keeping his role with WWE because it keeps his profile high, which in turn helps the value of ROW as well.
April 24, 2014
While we are still several months away from the expiration of the contract, rumors have it that several TNA stars are concerned about Dixie Carter not being able to secure a new television deal with Spike, which has been home to the promotion for quite a few years now. Last time around, Carter was able to get the deal done a lot quicker.
April 23, 2014
With his contract status in limbo at the moment, Frankie Kazarian is heading over to Japan to work a match for the Great Muta and his new Wrestle-1 promotion. Kazarian will be teaming with Abyss, who is still under contract to TNA, in a tag team match against Muta and Tajiri, the former WWE star. The event will be taking place on May 4th.
April 23, 2014
While he has made quite a name for himself in New Japan, there are rumors floating around that Lance Hoyt could be interested in signing with Jeff Jarrett and his new Global Force Wrestling. The belief is that Hoyt would want a schedule that enables him to still do frequent tours of Japan. Jarrett might be willing to agree to that since he wants his promotion to be internationally known.
April 21, 2014
With so many of their performer contracts expiring this year, TNA officials have been busy with negotiations and signings. The latest person to put pen to paper is Gunner, a rising star in the promotion. With the deal, he is expected to remain with the company for a couple of years, and he is also expected to continue on his push since splitting with James Storm.
April 16, 2014
"Seems like TNA is signing their core talents whose contracts are either up or in need of revising. WWE has seemingly made it clear that they have no interest in Impact talents and will instead reply on their Performance Center for their future stars. However, with Jeff Jarrett preparing to launch another promotion it makes sense for TNA to be proactive." - Jim Ross reveals that WWE is not interested in TNA performers
April 15, 2014
An article about Jeff Jarrett was recently published in the Tennessean, and some interesting tidbits are in there for professional wrestling fans. It revealed that Jarrett is still the largest shareholder in TNA outside of Panda Energy, which was confirmed by the company. He will remain an owner, even though he is starting up a rival promotion called Global Force Wrestling.
April 14, 2014
Earlier this month, Jeff Jarrett finally made the long awaited announcement of his new wrestling promotion, Global Force Wrestling. Another announcement was set for today, but the former world heavyweight champion had to delay things for another day. The reason being is because a major Hollywood publication needed more time for exclusivity.
April 14, 2014
Since he is rumored to be in the process of looking for a new home in professional wrestling, rumors have it that Mick Foley could possibly end up joining Jeff Jarrett in his new wrestling promotion, Global Force Wrestling. The two of them are scheduled to be on a show together in Pennsylvania next month, and a meeting is expected to take place between the two former world champions.
April 12, 2014
Even though the company has scaled back tremendously on their pay per view schedule over the last year, TNA is holding an event this Saturday night. It is a One Night Only theme, and several former stars are returning to the promotion to work the show. Sonjay Dutt, Trent Baretta and Low Ki are among the names already announced.
April 10, 2014
Now that Jeff Jarrett has announced his new wrestling promotion, even more rumors have surfaced about which wrestlers will be joining him. Former WWE star Shane Helms has popped up as a candidate, as he is still in great shape and has been working steadily on the independent wrestling circuit. He has enough name value to help Jarrett get Global Force Wrestling going.
April 8, 2014
For those wondering what Trevor Murdoch has been up to as of late, the former WWE tag team champion is still wrestling on the independent circuit. Plus, he still owns a restaurant that specializes in steaks and pork tenderloins. The belief is that Murdoch is trying to sign on with Jeff Jarrett and his new promotion, Global Force Wrestling.
April 8, 2014
After weeks of rumors floating around, Jeff Jarrett has finally launched his new promotion. It is called the Global Force Wrestling. The company boasts about 400 performers in their database, including several international wrestlers. No word yet on when GFW will start doing shows, but Jarrett promised that there will be more announcements coming soon.
April 7, 2014
Some further details have been revealed in regards to the wrestling promotion that Booker T owns. There were plans to shut down Reality of Wrestling back in December, but a local businessman named Hilton Koch stepped in to save it. After securing local sponsors and a television deal, RoW is expected to be profitable before the summer.
April 4, 2014
Independent wrestling shows are usually done on the weekends, but a promotion in Tennessee has decided to do a rare one on a Wednesday. James Storm has been booked to be the headliner, and he will be going up against former TNA star Chase Stevens. Crimson, another former TNA star, is also working the event as well, but his opponent has not been revealed yet.
March 26, 2014
Last month, rumors started heating up about Matt Morgan being one of the potential new signings for Jeff Jarrett and his new wrestling promotion. With the big announcement just a couple of weeks away, there are now talks that the deal is all but certain. Jarrett knows that he needs some familiar faces if he wants to kick start his new company.
March 26, 2014
In order to promote the upcoming movie, Triple H and Stephanie McMahon took a promotion picture with a guy in a Scooby Doo outfit. The WWE vice president of talent and live events is lifting up the person in the suit. The trio is also standing in front of a replica of the Mystery Van, the primary mode of transportation for the characters in the cartoon.
March 23, 2014
Earlier today, it was reported that Paul London was heading to Europe for a tour, and it has now been revealed that Brian Kendrick is joining him. The former WWE stars have been booked by a promotion called Southside Wrestling, where they will be working a show next weekend. No word yet on whether or not London and Kendrick will be teaming together or facing one another.
March 23, 2014
There are talks that Jeff Jarrett could be interested in signing Homicide and Hernandez for his new wrestling promotion. Right now, Homicide is working on the independent wrestling circuit, and the belief is that he would love to be back on television. Hernandez is still under contract to TNA, but he might be able to request a release since the company is not really using him.
March 22, 2014
Since his contract with WWE is set to expire very soon, there are speculations that Rey Mysterio could be headed to AAA to join his good friend Konnan as the company is attempting to expand into the United States market. During a recent interview in Spain, though, Mysterio flat out stated that he is not signing with that promotion and wishes to stay with WWE.
March 20, 2014
Through Twitter, Zach Gowen revealed that he has now been sober for four straight years. The former WWE star also noted that he was not boasting about the feat, as much as he was letting people know that help is out there if they need it.
February 18, 2014
In order to make it easier for fans to keep up with his life and career, Zach Gowen has decided to open up an Instagram account. The former WWE star still works plenty of matches on the independent wrestling circuit.
February 5, 2014
"For the record, Batista's a sweet guy with an incredible story of perseverance and hard work. He's one of the good guys."
- former WWE star Zach Gowen defending Batista
January 29, 2014
When he was just a child, Zach Gowen was diagnosed with cancer, and the future WWE star would be forced to amputate his leg when he was just eight years of age.
January 11, 2014
Former WWE star Zach Gowen, a one legged wrestler, posted a joke about how his opponent won't be able to get him into the figure four leg lock.

Apple's app reviewers haven't lost their appetite for tasteless entertainment
Apalon has done it again.
The latest offering from the Belarus-based developer of such off-color iPhone apps as Drunk Sniper (toilet bowl humor) and Doodle Farter (flatulence) is 100 Nazi Scalps, a game designed to cash in on the popularity of Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds.
The program is a crude but bloody horizontal scroller in which the goal is to kill and, if time and wounds permit, scalp an endless stream of WWII-era German soldiers.
100 Nazi Scalps hasn't reached any top-10 lists yet, but it was featured as the "free app of the day" Tuesday on something called Frisky Mongoose and by Thursday morning had been rated 1,743 times, which suggests a certain level of popularity.
Most of the user comments seem to find pleasure rather than objection in the game's level of violence ("So brutal and so cool!"). Not that filing a complaint would necessarily hurt sales or jeopardize its standing on the App Store. Italy's tourism minister this week demanded that Apple (AAPL) remove Apalon's What Country app, whose Italy entry features a "Mafia Only" parking sign. It's still available for sale.
Apple's new iPhone developer guidelines say it doesn't need any more fart apps. Soldier-scalping apps, however, are still welcome.

A Clinical Study of PHY906 as a Modulator of CPT-11 in Patients With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer
Recruitment status was Recruiting

- How to Read a Study Record
PHY906 is an oral form of a spray dried aqueous extract composed of four main herbs, which have been used in the Orient for nearly 2000 years for a variety of GI symptoms including diarrhea and nausea/vomiting. Extensive pre-clinical research has been done with Chinese herbal medicine, and studies have documented significant anticancer activity in combination with various cytotoxic agents including CPT-11, which is a semi-synthetic derivative of the natural alkaloid camptothecin and belongs to the class of topoisomerase I inhibitors. The proposed plan will investigate the mechanism and efficacy of Chinese herbal medicine as an adjunct to chemotherapy in treatment of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. Our rationale for the therapeutic use of PHY906 is its potential activity in reducing chemotherapy-induced toxicity, especially diarrhea.

But it could've just as easily been Billy Joel or Bon Jovi, Green Day or The Replacements, Garth Brooks or Godsmack … OK, so not Garth Brooks.
Music is to me like a bullet wound to the Incredible Hulk — making me act out in inappropriate ways while occasionally coming dangerously close to public nudity. Those dang earbuds only make matters worse.
Where I work, iPods are allowed, meaning that the roughly 3.6 billion people milling inside this architecturally stunning catacomb are all sort of oblivious, trapped within the cacophony of whatever's blaring in their ears at the moment.
Like the Beastie Boys once said, "A good mix tape can put you in the right mood." Only today, it's more a playlist than a mix-tape, but the concept — like the song — remains the same. Given the crush of people roaming around this complex, I can only imagine the diversity of sonic tastes that are allowing each to get their proverbial groove on.
As for me on this particular morning, I was in a thrash metal mood … hence, Anthrax's "Anti-social," a hard-driving little ditty that was threatening to make my earlobes bleed as I strutted my way toward the bathroom.
I may have actually been throwing the Dio salute (aka the "devil horns" as seen in hair metal videos and occasional TV commercials) when I came barreling around the corner and plowed into this unsuspecting little lady, almost tossing her against the water fountain. To her credit, she never lost her smile, at least not until I screamed, "I AM SOOO SORRY!!!" I forgot that the noise-canceling earbuds make me shout like I've just left a monster truck show.
She scurried off to her cubicle, leaving me feeling like a total dolt.
When I've got my iPod on, I'm as dangerous as Cujo in a Snausage factory. I'm simply not accustomed to being out among normal people while listening to music. I'm usually out in the yard, where only the crickets are potentially harmed when I play air guitar to "Smoke on the Water" or shout out, "Let's Dance!" during "Footloose." There's no such thing as losing one's social graces while mowing the lawn, mainly because I'm wearing a cut-off Charles Manson T-shirt and tall white socks — but also because, well, there's nobody around to care.
Such behavior is not acceptable in the office. I've got to remember that, for example, listening to N.W.A.'s "Straight Outta Compton" while in line for a spinach wrap in the cafeteria is not going to go over well. Nor is miming the hand gestures to Prince's "I Would Die 4 U." Both are apt to be misinterpreted by co-workers.
But I refuse to give up my Monday hype song. Nothing starts off a workweek like Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger," me walking down the hall to, "Rising up, back on the street, did my time, took my chances."
Maybe I'll save Garth Brooks for my bathroom breaks.

EGF City Council Working on Details for Wastewater ConnectionIn the city council's work session Tuesday, council members were trying to figure out if connecting the sewer lines with Grand Forks will be fair for the residents of East Grand Forks.
The city of East Grand Forks is still working out the details for a new wastewater treatment plant that would connect with Grand Forks.
In the city council's work session Tuesday, council members were trying to figure out if connecting the sewer lines with Grand Forks will be fair for the residents of East Grand Forks.
The city could upgrade the existing waste water ponds, connect them with Grand Forks, or do nothing. But the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency doesn't think the last option is a good idea.
"As I stated, they know the system leaks, they are concerned with contaminating the ground water and it contaminating other wells. The system is not performing to design standards and the system has structural issues," EGF city engineer Greg Boppre said.
To update the existing lagoons would cost $15.4 million and might require the city to build a new treatment facility as well. Connecting with Grand Forks would cost $9.6 million and could result in more tillable farmland.
But one council member is not so trusting of the of an aging wastewater treatment plant.
"How are we going to control the price in the future if we go to Grand Forks? I think you have some problems with the plant, it's getting older, it's going to take considerable repairs. So, I think there is a serious question whether your numbers are correct," council member Henry Tweten said.
"There has certainly been other issues with Grand Forks that we have to work out unfortunately, but I don't want those things to bother with this decision. I think our residents need to know that we exhausted all avenues and this is the best way to go," council member Greg Leigh said.
Tweten thinks there should be more research.
"I think the engineers and everybody else involved, we better take and get information because this is a heavy commitment, except for the flood, it's going to be the heaviest commitment any council has made," Tweten said.
The city council will hold a public hearing on May 3rd about the Grand Forks Connection.
