Cleaning out the inbox

Time for the final inbox cleaning of 2014.

NASA has turned its WISE (Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer) satellite back on after two years off and renamed it NEOWISE ( Near-Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer) to help in the never ending battle to identify asteroids.
It's recycling in space,if you will and getting even more use out of an object already in space is better use of our space dollar especially for such important work....

A possible success story in saving a species from extinction is the Mangarahara cichlid,which saw 18 of them in the wild in what was described as a less than ideal environment.
The female is more likely to be attacked than bred,the article states,but there has to be some hope now.

ESPN discusses the value of Masahiro Tanaka,the latest off the Japanese pitching line.
Tanaka went 24-0 for Rakuten last season and is thought to be at least the equal of Yu Darvish.
I'll have to talk to our man in Japan,Brandon Siefken,for his thoughts on Tanaka.

Jim Cornette has had his issues with the WWE throughout the years,but Cornette did speak with WWE.com for their website's article on Smoky Mountain Wrestling.
Cornette among others contributed and it was very well done by the author.
WWE does not always do the best job on the history of wrestling,but this is an interesting read....

I plan on a posts filled with goodbyes and a little talk on some upcoming things in the works..

I'll be back soon with the Devils vs Columbus!
