We are not talking about black athletes in sports. We are talking about successful black MMA fighters that can be seen as role models which are very few and far between.
You already have:
- Chuck Liddel
- Tito Ortiz (made a booboo - replacement (Ken/Frank Shamrock)
- Randy Couture
- Fedor
- Arlovski
- Faber
There is a reason why fans who fall within the minority go ape shit when one of their role models become champion. Even from the pool of successful MMA champions how many of them are black role models? Take it a step further how many are African American role models? Go a step even further how many of them are in the Hall of Fame?? Needless to say the pool is a bit umlimited. 9/10 you probably can't count more than 5 but I would be surprised if you counted 3.
At the end of the day minorities like to see their people succeed. This is why you see "Brown Pride" tattooed on Cain's chest.
PS. You opened up this can of worms not I.
I know this gives you another opportunity for ammunition but you don't always have to squeeze the trigger like Zimmerman.

suprise suprise, trolldawg has his race card out again. Get a new gimmick fella.
I think there is a legitimate conspiracy here.
I think the hacks at SI are colluding with dana. I think they're deliberately trolling with their stories which gives dana the opportunity to sound off in opposition. That puts zuffa and MMA in the mouths of more mainstream mopes, and as far as dana is concerned "no publicity is bad publicity."
But it wouldn't surprise me if they're in it together, laughing it up off camera.
oh, and roaddawg, Tito Ortiz was neither White nor a role model.
All manner of men came to work for the News: everything from wild young Turks who wanted to rip the world in half and start all over again -- to tired, beer-bellied old hacks who wanted nothing more than to live out their days in peace before a bunch of lunatics ripped the world in half.

I would hate to see how things have turned out for someone who considers Tito their role model.
For the record, my role model is War Machine.
Big Hairy American Winning Machine
The term "role model" means different things to different people I suppose. It is about as subjective as a p4p discussion.
For some minorities its all about making it out of poverty, getting fame, money and success.

The UFC has quite a few African American role models on their current roster.

Tyrone Woodley
Bobby Green
Rashad Evans
Phil Davis
Mike Eastmen

The real disparity is when you look for Ginger Americans. Where are my role models to look to?
As a guy who's also a boxing fan, the race portion of this discussion is, at minimum, troubling.
White fighters are disrespected to the tune of even movies being made about them in boxing. Basketball isn't much different. So, you find a sport that caucasions are actually excelling in and now it's some sort of major crisis?
Maybe I'm missing what's going on here in this thread but I personally don't look at race when I look at fighters.
Jason Macdonald???The real disparity is when you look for Ginger Americans. Where are my role models to look to?

I really like what you guys have done with your Z06, and it got me thinking. It's obviously a great handling car and has a ton of power (just like the new Z06) and GM felt it was necessary to utilize a dry-sump oiling system because of the incredible g-forces that the 'Vette could produce in stock form.
Does your Z06 need a dry-sump system? When do you know you need a dry-sump oiling system? Is it based entirely on g-forces? What kits are available and how hard are they to install? Also, how do you choose the right one?
Autocross is blowing up right now, and it's only getting more popular. With new technology coming out all the time it's getting easier for people to build some real autocross monsters, and some people might not realize the beastly suspension they just installed might starve the motor for oil through the corners. I would love to hear your input. You have a great magazine.
Jason Gielish
Via email
Jason, those are very interesting questions—enough so that we're going to probe into this further for an upcoming tech piece. As for our Z06, a dry-sump system is something we've considered, however with our intercooler tank near where most dry-sump tanks are installed, it would require some creative thinking to make it all fit. I can tell you that we've consistently pulled over 1 g through left and right corners with little issues, but that doesn't mean everything is alright.
How it works
I would like to thank you for the How It Works series. The April '11 issue on camshafts was the best so far. For the most part I have understood what the numbers on the specs meant, but while I was reading the article a lightbulb went on, and it all began to make sense when it came to LSAs and cam deflections. Thank you and keep up the good work.

If you like your room to have an overwhelming smell of mould, don't mind sleeping on old, dirty looking bed sheets and filthy hand towels in the bathroom - then go ahead! The only redeeming feature if this place is the location. Couldn't get so much as a smile from the owner, rest of the staff weren't too bad, but not helpful. Wouldn't recommend it to anyone who likes to be clean and comfortable.

Business Associate, Emerging Leaders Program at United Airlines
United Airlines
How did receiving a Tippie MBA prepare you for your career?
Tippie has a strong curriculum and faculty. Additionally, the Marketing Academy activities provided me with the functional expertise I needed to interview for marketing and leadership development roles. The career services team takes an individualized approach with each student. They did not just want to help me find a job. They wanted to help me find the job that would make me happy and would set me up for long-term career success. My career coach met with me every other week and was instrumental in connecting me with the right opportunities but also in helping me understand which companies and positions would be the right fit for me.
What type of impact did the program have on you both socially and academically?
I made lifelong friends at Tippie. I continue keep in touch with classmates, staff and faculty. Students at Tippie tend to get very involved. I have so many great memories from planning events, going on road trips and hearing from incredible speakers – that was just as much part of the growth experience as the coursework.
How did the consulting opportunities (BSC) prepare you for future success? Did you feel they were instrumental to your development?
I participated in the BSC both years – first as a participant and then as a team leader. It was instrumental to my development at Tippie. The stakes were much higher with the projects because we were consulting for companies with high expectations. My favorite aspects of the BSC both years were twofold 1. Working with a team and drawing on each other's unique skill sets and strengths to achieve a strong final work product 2. Knowing that our work product made a significant positive difference four our clients and was well worth the investment they made in us.
What was the environment like both on and off campus, in and out of the classroom?
Tippie has small class sizes, and the culture is collaborative and friendly. I have many close friends from the program, and we often spent time together outside of class. Iowa City has a lot to offer. There is a great arts scene. Iowa's outstanding Writer's Workshop draws some of the best writers in contemporary fiction, and there are a lot of writer's readings. If you enjoy the outdoors, there are jogging and bike paths throughout the city. There are a number of reasonably-priced restaurants with great food. Some of my favorites are One Twenty Six, Orchard Green Lounge and Three Samurai.
What were you seeking when you started an MBA, and do you feel that your Tippie MBA helped you achieve it?
I came to Tippie with work experience in journalism and non-profit marketing. My goal was to get the business training and technical skills I needed to reach my goal of being placed in a leadership development program at a major company. The education and experience I gained at Tippie helped me reach that goal. The core courses gave me a strong foundation in business knowledge, and the marketing curriculum and electives gave me confidence in my technical skills.
How did your participation in extra activities enhance your experience or prepare you for success?
I was very active in extra activities at Tippie. I was President of the GMA, a member of NWMBA and also led a BSC project. The two main benefits were first that I formed stronger relationships with my peers and second that I got significant leadership experience. As a student organization leader, I led a team to organize a marketing forum, a community service event and company outreach trips in multiple cities. As a BSC team leader, I learned valuable leadership lessons as I kept our team of five on track to deliver for one of the largest insurance providers in the world.
What do you feel sets Tippie apart and above other similar MBA programs? In short, what makes Tippie special?
I believe what makes Tippie special is the culture, which in large part is due to the small class sizes and favorable faculty and staff to student ratio. You know everyone in the program, and you can tap into those connections to create lifelong personal friendships and professional connections that are deep and strong. Tippie is known for taking an individualized approach with educating and placing students, and part of the culture is recognizing the strengths you can draw on from others and that can be drawn on from you in the tight-knit community.

This version of "Circles" was first released in the U.K. 4 March 1966 as both "Circles" and "Instant Party" on Reaction 591001. On 8 March, Talmy was given his injunction against further sales. Reaction re-issued the single 15 March with The Graham Bond Organization (as "The Who Orchestra") instrumental "Waltz For A Pig" on the b-side in place of "Circles." The injunction was lifted 25 March and further copies of "Substitute" with the "Circles" or "Instant Party" b-side were sold. The recording again appeared at the end of side one of the EP Ready Steady Who issued 11 Nov. 1966 and it was also used by Polydor outside the U.K. as the common B-side to "Dogs.". "Circles" was not used on either the 1966 or 1967 single issues of "Substitute" in the U.S. and wasn't released there until the Two's Missing LP/CD in 1987. The only other CD containing the recording is Polydor's Rarities 1966-1972 Vol. 1 & Rarities 1966-1972 Vol. 2 issued outside the U.S. in 1991. Both CD's are currently out of print.
Pete would later write his own Moon-inspired song on the same theme, "Dr. Jimmy," for Quadrophenia. This track came out in two different mixes and lengths. The first, running 2:24, was released as the B-side of "Call Me Lightning" worldwide except for the U.K. In the U.S. it was Decca 32288 and first appeared on the charts March 2, 1968. It was subsequently used on the Decca album Magic Bus - The Who On Tour and the only CD with this mix is the 1988 issue of that album that is still available as a Canadian import.
The second, running 2:38, with "Hyde noises" and extra spooky guitar much more prominent in the the mix, was first issued in the U.K. as the B-side of "Magic Bus" 11 Oct. 1968. The only CD issue was on Polydor's Rarities 1966-1972 Vol. 1 & Rarities 1966-1972 Vol. 2. This CD is out of print.

The above five tracks were recorded for the soundtrack to Tommy: The Movie and were listed on the soundtrack as being by "The Who." Apparently "The Who" was considered to be anything with Pete on guitar, John on bass and Keith on drums. Keith was unavailable for the rest of the soundtrack as he was busy playing a role in the sequel to the movie That'll Be The Day (1973), Stardust (1975). His place was taken by the drummer for The Faces, Kenney Jones, who got along splendidly with Pete and John, thus laying the groundwork for his being chosen as Keith's replacement three and a half years later. The soundtrack was released in the U.S. Feb. 22, 1975 where it went to #2 in the Billboard charts, two positions higher than The Who's original album. In the U.K., where it was released 21 March 1975, the soundtrack stalled at #21. The soundtrack was issued on CD as part of the re-issue program March 5, 2001 and is still in print.
All three of the above songs were recorded whole or in part at Ramport Studios, Battersea, London, Jan. 1979.
Produced by John Entwistle
Engineer: Dave "Cy" Langston
Pete: "'Joker James' was the first song I wrote for Quad. In other words, I took that song as the basis for the image of the kid -- the way he saw himself -- as this kind of reasonable joker whose life doesn't come off but, in fact, on the outside he didn't appear that way at all and he was very far from being a joker. In fact, I kept the song in right the way up to the point where the band went into the studio and then suddenly Quad took on a different turn. As soon as the band started laying down backing tracks at Battersea, it didn't feel like the Quad that I thought was going to come out. It was much heavier, much more brutal, and so I dropped it. I dropped about three other numbers that were quite alike, that one, 'Get Out And Stay Out' and ['Four Faces']. That's the track that was originally called 'Quadrophenia'...it was called 'Four Hang-Ups' -- that was written on the box but 'Four Faces' has always been what I called it."
The lyrics for "Joker James" were originally published in the Sept. 1968 issue of Eye magazine. In the 23 Sept. 1972 issue of Record Mirror, Pete claimed he wrote it "at the same time as 'I'm A Boy.'" The "disco" version of "The Real Me," misidentified as "Kenney Jones audition session" on the 30 Years of Maximum R&B boxset, was recorded during the same sessions. This was, however, the first recordings made with Kenney after he had replaced Keith Moon. Quadrophenia/Original Soundtrack was released on Polydor Records worldwide Oct. 5, 1979. It was issued on CD as part of the re-issue program March 5, 2001 and is still in print.
Pete: "When I first put the collection together, there seemed to be a hole in the fire scene. I said to my manager that the trouble with fire songs is that it's all been said...I said the best song is just 'Fire, fire, fire, fire/You're going to burn.' And Bill [Curbishley] said what a great idea. I said, 'No, I didn't mean the actual song.' But I sat down and thought that it wouldn't hurt."
Recorded at Eel Pie Studios, London. The most likely recording date for Roger and John's part on "Dig" and the entirety of "Fire" is early 1989.
Acoustic ("Dig") and Electric ("Fire") guitar: Pete Townshend
Bass: John Entwistle
Vocal: Roger Daltrey
Drums: Simon Phillips
Brass ("Dig"): Pete Beachill, John Barclay
The Iron Man was a musical written by Pete based on British poet laureate Ted Hughes' children's book The Iron Man (Faber & Faber, 1968). The fact that Pete was also working for the book's publishers during the 1980's probably had something to do with the genesis of the musical. The project began Nov. 1986 with a meeting between Pete and Ted Hughes. "Dig" was demo'ed exactly a year later, then was recorded with Pete's brother Simon Townshend on lead vocal. Both the demo and the Simon recording have been released. The song describes the villagers' plan to dig a pit to capture the gigantic Iron Man of the title but also neatly touches on one of the main themes of Pete's 1980's work, the fear of world war (cf:, It's Hard).
"Fire" was originally a hit for The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, released 14 June 1968 and reaching #1 in the U.K. charts (#2 in the U.S. Billboard charts). Pete discovered Arthur Brown when Arthur performed at the Fourteen Hour Technicolour Dream at Alexandra Palace in London 29 Apr. 1967 and signed him to Track Records. He received an "associate producer" credit on "Fire" although it was actually produced by Who manager Kit Lambert. In the musical the song is about a trial by fire between the Iron Man and a gigantic Space Dragon.
Although not yet confirmed, it appears that there were no plans by Pete to have Roger or John participate in The Iron Man as of late 1988. The timeline suggests that Pete may have brought them in to the project around the same time he decided to participate in the 1989 25th Anniversary Who tour. The Iron Man LP and CD was released July 15, 1989 on Atlantic Records and peaked at #58 on the U.S. Billboard charts. It failed to chart in the U.K.
Pete: "REAL GOOD LOOKING BOY is a song I wrote quite a few years ago about two young men who worry about their looks. One of them, based on me - hopes and believes he might look like his best friend who is a conventionally handsome fellow. (He is disavowed of this notion by his mother). The second, based on Roger - hopes and believes he will one day turn out to be like the young Elvis. (He, more happily, sees part of his dream come true). They both find love in later life."
"Real Good Looking Boy" was written in 1995 and The Who with John Entwistle may have attempted a preliminary version of the song 14 June 2002. Pete mentioned on his website that the recording was "finished" 13 Nov. 2003. Greg Lake, formerly of Emerson, Lake and Palmer, stepped in to play bass during a time when Pino Palladino was absent touring with Simon and Garfunkel. The additional writer credits are due to the inclusion of part of the Elvis Presley hit "Can't Help Falling In Love (With You)." The song was itself a re-write of a French hit, "Plaisir d'amour" by Jean Paul Egide Martini and was adapted by the three people after Townshend above for the Elvis movie Blue Hawaii (1961). Although previously unlisted as related to the piece, this song was included in the 2007 theatrical workshop version of The Boy Who Heard Music, sung by Gabriel, John and Ray High. (See Endless Wire liner notes).

Pete: "OLD RED WINE I wrote right here in the hotel I now sit in (in NY) about the late John Entwistle. He loved expensive claret, and often drank it past its prime. There is an irony there somehow: John never seemed to realize how perfectly MATURE he had really become as rock musician. He didn't need the trappings he thought essential, and that - in my opinion - led directly to his premature death."
Both the above songs had their live premiere at The Forum in London 23 March 2004 (A preliminary version of "Old Red Wine" was played in Toronto Sept. 28, 2002). Both tracks were first released on the Who best-of collection Then and Now! 1964-2004 on Geffen March 30, 2004 and afterwards as a single on Polydor as part of The 1st Singles Box collection released 2 May 2004.

ROSWELL, N.M. (KRQE) - A bizarre find in a package of meat at a grocery store has law enforcement agencies from New Mexico and Colorado wondering where the gun came from.
So far everyone involved with the case has said they've never seen this one before. A worker unwrapping frozen meat at Albertsons found a handgun and ammunition packed with it.
A worker at a Roswell Albertsons opened a case of frozen ribs in the meat section and made the discovery Wednesday.
The worker told his supervisor and turned the semi-automatic Rock Island Armory .38 Super along with seven rounds of ammo found with it over to police.
Preston told KRQE News 13 this gun is rarely seen in this area.
"We could speculate on a lot of things," he said. "It could have been someone just dropped it there, or it could have been something that someone put it there trying to hide it for 100 different reasons.
There are a couple clues to the mystery. According to the police report, the meat package came from the Swift Packing Plant in Greeley, Colo., and the date on the package is June 8, 2011.
News 13 spoke with Greeley police who said their gang unit is exploring what occurred during that time to determine whether the gun may have been involved in any crimes there.
Police said the pistol has not been reported stolen. Since it was cleaned off before police were notified, investigators said that does pose a problem.
The Albertsons supervisor told police there was an indention in the box where the gun was packed in with the frozen meat. Store officials told News 13 this is an extremely unusual circumstance, and that no one in the store was in danger when the gun was found.
The year old meat package, "tells us that we do have a large amount of time that has passed," said Preston. "And if it was stolen, we would have thought by now it would have been entered into the actual database NCIC."
Police have now entered the gun into the National Crime Information Center database. They will conduct a federal firearms trace, which will track the serial number to the last place it was sold or documented.

High Pressure Diesel Fuel Injection Pump May Fail and Cause "No Start" Condition
The high pressure diesel fuel injection pump may fail, resulting in a "no start" condition.
Oil in fuel system due to injector seal leaks
When changing the fuel filter, if the fuel in the filter bowl looks gray or black, it may be a sign that the fuel injector O-rings are allowing high pressure oil to migrate into the fuel return system. Symptoms of this are rough idle or hard starting.
Inoperative Door Locks Due to Resistance in Circuit
One or more of the door locks may become inoperative due to resistance in the circuit. In some cases, replacement of all actuators will be required to correct this issue.
Engine Oil Leak from Right Head Gasket
An oil leak may develop from the the right side head gasket. Oil from this type of leak will commonly drip onto the starter. Our technician tell us an updated head gasket is available to correct this concern.
Rough Idle Caused By EGR Sensor Sticking
Intermittent rough idle may be caused by the EGR sensor sticking, causing the EGR valve to stay slightly open. Our technicians tell us the valve and sensor must be replaced together to correct this concern.

CRESTVIEW— An award-winning home chef has added a feather to her toque blanche.
Sherri Williams, who won Crock-Pot's Crockin' in the USA contest in December, started last weekend on a high note with a phone call from NBC.
"Someone from the 'Today' show called,"she said. "I had entered the Chicken Wing Cook-Off. She gave me a call and told me I was one of the three winners. I'll be going up there on Jan. 31 for a live airing on Feb. 1."
The contest — which the daily morning chat show ran Jan. 8-16 — asked cooks to submit their favorite chicken wing recipe. Williams was among three winners selected to go New York to share her recipe with a live national audience.
She won't be entirely among strangers.
"The good thing about it is one of my foodie friends is one of the other winners," she said.
After flying to New York, Williams will attend a rehearsal the afternoon of Jan. 31. The live show will be the next morning. Because she won't do the actual cooking, she had to ensure the recipe was precise.
Reason enough to cook up another batch of wings"just to be sure," she said.
"Their food stylists are going to do the actual preparing of the wings," Williams said. "The recipe has to be exact when someone else is making them. If I was doing it, I could tweak them a little."
The key ingredient to Williams' Asian scorpion pepper jelly wings is Uncle Gary's Gourmet Scorpion Pepper Jelly, bottled commercially by Williams' friend Gary Langer from his father's recipe. It gives the wings a spicy kick, said Williams, who wondered whether the "Today" hosts' palates would be up to the challenge.
"I hope they realize they're going to be spicy," she said. "They're pretty darn good. You can enjoy the flavor of the wing and then you get the heat in the back of your palate."
Williams said her husband Roy isn't fond of spicy food, but agreed the wings were outstanding.
Then the heat caught up with him.
" 'Oh baby, these are hot!' " she said he exclaimed.
"Even if you don't want to use scorpion pepper jelly, you can use a mild pepper jelly," Williams said. "The flavor is in the Asian spices. You can use any jam or jelly."
Williams, who manages a condominium complex in Destin, said the NBC caller asked her how many recipe contests she's won.
It was the first time she actually stopped to think about it.
"I never sat down and counted them," Williams said. "It was like over 30 in less than 21 months. Most of those were won in 2012. I never realized how many I've won.
"I thought, 'Oh goodness, I'm the crazy contest maniac,' but I figure I've got to cook anyway so I might as well enter it in a contest. Cooking is my love and passion. I just enjoy doing it more than anything, and that's the truth of the matter."

Crestview chef Sherri Williams will appear on NBC's "Today" on Feb. 1 between 7 and 11 a.m.
