History | Soccer fields, for King and Atlanta, lent space to move 'beyond Vietnam'
Integrated sport certainly represented new ground for one of the Chiefs' early signings, Kaizer "Boy-Boy" Motaung, who in South Africa's segregated leagues had never played with whites before, never showered or dressed with them. He led the Chiefs in goals in 1968 and helped guide the club to the North American Soccer League title, Atlanta's first professional sports championship. No Atlanta team would claim a championship until the Thunder of World Team Tennis in 1991–92, followed by the Braves in 1995.
With a missionary vision to spread soccer in a nearly soccer-void landscape, the 1968 Chiefs—almost 40 years before English sides such as Arsenal would trigger domestic horror by fielding exclusively foreign-born squads—created a similarly multi-hued mix with not one American. Ten players arrived from the UK, with eight other nations represented. In addition to Motaung, three players came from Africa: Freddie Mwila and Emment Kapengwe from Zambia and Willie Evans from Ghana. From their outreach and the impetus of player-coach Phil Woosnam, they helped develop suburban soccer, transforming a game of ethnic enclaves.
As city and nation looked for models of racial coexistence, the Chiefs offered an exemplar. "That team epitomized to me what soccer is all about," Welsh defender Brian Hughes said in 1993, referring to the blend of cultures and playing styles. "We were the perfect mix."
To Atlanta and the state of Georgia, the Chiefs provided, according to the Braves' Cecil, a "great, great vehicle for internationalism" that the pan-humanist appeal of the civil rights movement also helped develop (see our entry, "Soccer," New Georgia Encyclopedia, 2 Nov 07, for more on the international influences in Georgia soccer).
Motaung and two other South Africans, the late Pule "Ace" Ntsoelengoe and Jomo Sono, would continue to develop their skills, as long as apartheid prevented top-level competition at home, both in the NASL and on township teams in the NASL off-season. Sono and Motaung paid homage to the league's place in elevating their statures by naming new South African teams in the NASL's honor. Sono formed Jomo Cosmos and Motaung the Kaizer Chiefs.
At a 2004 awards dinner and in a recent interview on the Kaizer Chiefs website, Motaung, who is still chairman and chief executive of the team he formed in 1970, credits the Atlanta experience for granting exposure to international soccer that he would not have gained otherwise. The formation of Kaizer Chiefs also afforded stature and boosted confidence for Soweto residents in their struggles against forced segregation ("The Birth of Kaizer Chiefs through the Eyes of Kaizer Motaung," n.d.):
Kaizer Chiefs was formed, I guess, at the right time. We were living through a politically repressive and violent era. For instance, if you defeated Pirates at Orlando Stadium, chances were that it would be difficult to leave the stadium unharmed. Then along came Chiefs. Our dress code was such that it appealed to a lot of people. … [W]e promoted the concept of love and peace, and incorporated it into our slogan. We emphasised through words and deeds, both on and off the field, that soccer was about comradeship, about friendship, sportsmanship.
In fashion, the Chiefs favored Afros and bell-bottoms and backed up the unconventional style on the pitch, becoming the first black side in South Africa to defeat a team from the white leagues. Now, within South Africa, they have a Manchester United–like branding force, lending their name to mobile phones, credit cards and insurance.

Teams celebrate construction of 82 houses with Habitat for Humanity
MASSACA, Mozambique (August 6, 2008)—Teams of volunteers from the Missouri Conference of The United Methodist Church and its Volunteers in Mission program have surpassed their goal of building 75 homes in partnership with Habitat for Humanity Mozambique in three years. Various teams—made up of a total of 40 to 50 people—have built 82 homes in Massaca and Chimoio since 2006.
The final team dedicated 16 houses, which they completed during a two-week period, concluding July 24 in the Massaca community near the capital city of Maputo.
"There are more than 900 United Methodist churches in Missouri, many who are partnered with United Methodist churches in Mozambique for a number of ministries, so building Habitat for Humanity homes together was a natural match," said the Rev. Mark Dumas, pastor of First United Methodist Church in Jefferson City, Mo. "The Catholic Church is also building homes, and a local group of businesses are digging latrines and installing outhouses for improved water conditions," he said.
"When we were presented with the needs of orphans who live in a world that doesn't make it easy for them, our hearts went out to them," said Dumas. "We realized that we had forgotten the least ones."
Many of those occupying the new homes are some of the nation's most vulnerable groups—widows, orphans and single mothers and grandmothers who are caring for children left behind. "It was a lofty goal," said Dumas, "but when we saw how quickly houses went up last year, we said, 'Of course we can do this.'"
Dumas said he was pleased that Habitat for Humanity helped the teams find building materials available in the area so the people could maintain their thatch homes built on circular concrete slabs.
"This has been a remarkable example of how churches around the world, which have already built relationships together, can partner with Habitat for Humanity to make a huge difference in communities where the need is so great," said Jonathan Reckford, CEO Habitat for Humanity International. "We are grateful for the compassion and commitment of the United Methodist churches in Missouri."
About the Missouri Conference of The United Methodist Church
More than 900 churches make up the Missouri Conference of The United Methodist Church, which seeks to support growing, fruitful, vibrant congregations that are changing lives through Jesus Christ.
Habitat for Humanity Mozambique
Formed in 2000, Habitat for Humanity Mozambique has worked with poor communities, local volunteers and international teams to build hundreds of houses in Maputo Province and in the provinces of Manica and Gaza.
Originally, houses were made of cement blocks, but the program changed its technique in the last few years to adopt local materials and methods to lower costs, increase efficiency and community involvement and begin reaching the poorest families in each community as rapidly as possible.
About Habitat for Humanity International
Habitat for Humanity International is an ecumenical Christian ministry that welcomes to its work all people dedicated to the cause of eliminating poverty housing. Since its founding in 1976, Habitat has built nearly 300,000 houses worldwide, providing simple, decent and affordable shelter for more than 1.5 million people.

Miss Utah Marissa Powell discusses her LDS Faith.
Shauna Lake: Did you talk about your religion at all while you were there? Was that an anomaly, something that drew a conversation?
Marissa Powell: I think a lot of people wanted to know. I think they just assume you're from Utah so you must be Mormon. And I am Mormon so it was something that I had the opportunity to talk about a little bit and branch out. And they all had funny questions and it's fun to answer them.
Shauna Lake: What were the funny questions?
Marissa Powell: There were some about do you drink milk how many wives does your father have. How many girlfriends does your boyfriend have? And just silly things like that. It's a good opportunity to talk about who I am and what I believe and to branch out like that and hear what other people believe and why they believe what they believe.

For Democrat Will Sylianteng, the man contesting incumbent State Rep. Todd Stephens for his seat representing the 151st legislative district, sums up Tuesday as a "good day one way or the other."
"We're at polling places introducing ourselves to people as they come in," Sylianteng told Patch of he and his 30 or so volunteers in place at some of the district's three dozen polling places throughout Horsham, Upper Dublin, Ambler, Montgomery Township and Abington. "You actually go face-to-face with an actual voter."
It's different than the 14,000 doors Sylianteng knocked while talking to people who, he said may or may not even cast a vote in the 2012 election. To actually see them about to do that makes for a "pretty enjoyable day," he said.
Highlights so far include an early morning stop at the Ambler Senior Community Center where a woman Sylianteng had never met told him she had a sign supporting him on her lawn.
"It's really one of those days where, as a candidate, you get to see all these people," Sylianteng said. "I think that my presece at a poll location isn't necessarily going to change the outcome of this election."
While Sylianteng got started in Ambler, Stephens took to his home polling location in Horsham, Yuong Sang Presbyterian Church, on Witmer Road, where he greeted voters coming and going.
"We have folks at every poll from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.," Stephens told Patch following his arrival around 7:30 a.m. "We've got every place covered all day long. When we asked for volunteers, the response was great."
Inside Horsham 3-2, poll worker Carla Cloninger said Tuesday marked her first stint at helping with an election. Cloninger stepped up, she said, because of a request from Stephens.
Yet, Stephens, like Sylianteng, said his focus is on ensuring voters make their way down the ballot beyond the Obama/Romney contest and pick who should represent the 151st district.
"The big thing is to remind people," Stephens said, adding that there tends to be a drop-off between the top of the ticket and the bottom of the ticket. "I'm the last rung on the ladder."
On Tuesday, just after 4 p.m., Stephens told Patch that in his polling place interactions with district voters throughout the day, he had gotten a "great response" and even voters from "across the aisle" had pledged support.
Sylianteng, while standing outside of Hatboro-Horsham High School just before 5 p.m., seemed less confident.
"I don't think either of us can really tell," Sylianteng said. "Turnout's really high. At least in my race it's a toss up."
Sylianteng, who ran for Montgomery Township Supervisor in 2009, said he knew before that race was called that it "was not going to be a good year for Democrats."
"Democrats didn't come out to vote," Sylianteng said.
The same is not true of Tuesday's election, which drew "unprecedented" numbers of voters from both parties, election officials told Patch.
Sylianteng, who after his 2009 defeat was motivated back into the political realm again after seeing "Governor Corbett's agenda and where they were going to take the state," acknowledged that the district race, while "very important" is largely ignored compared to the presidential contest.
"Most media sources don't cover the statehouse," Sylianteng said.

The Cook Islands southern-most island
Two hundred kilometres east-south-east from Rarotonga, second largest of the Cook Islands, the raised atoll of Mangaia has always been isolated and determinedly independent. Tradition has it that the island was not discovered by a voyaging ancestor - Mangaian belief is that the first human being rose from a hole in the centre of their island. Mangaia and Avaiki, the spiritual homeland, are thus one and the same. In less legendary terms, it is thought that the island was populated by seafarers from Tahiti, Rarotonga and Tonga.
Geologically, Mangaia is by far the oldest of the 15 islands of the Cook Group, and is shaped like a tail-less stingray whose head faces north-west. Fifty-one square kilometres in size, the island is surrounded by a thick coral reef, with only a few tiny beaches notched into its coastal rock.
The shoreline steps up a few metres to a narrow rocky plain, a shelf of land covered with palms, pandanus and coarse grasses on which large herds of cute goats graze.
On this coastal fringe are located the main road, several villages and, to the north-east, the airport runway.
Mangaia from the Air
The makatea and huge caves
Between this fringing shelf and the interior hills of Mangaia is the island's most formidable feature, a band of makatea - fossilised coral composed of calcareous limestone - in places over 60 metres high and with an average width of a kilometre and a half. The makatea surrounds Mangaia like giant coils of razor-wire, jagged, unbroken, impenetrable. Impenetrable?
Not quite. The karstic nature of the makatea means that it is honeycombed with sinkholes, tunnels and caves which the Mangaians have used as tombs for hundreds of years.
Teruarere Cave, for example, on the northern inland edge of the makatea, is an apparently endless succession of connected chambers, from the inner reaches of which it is possible to hear the beating of waves on the reef, somewhere overhead.
It was not until 1951 that a road cutting was blasted through the makatea platform near Tavaiienga village, using war surplus explosives. The cutting, up to 15 metres high, allows a steep, one-way road to connect the coastal plain with the fertile interior. The sides of the cutting reveal dramatically the depth and density of the rock collar which surrounds the island, and the engineering feat which its construction represented.
Lush swamps
The inland edge of the makatea ends abruptly in towering ramparts of rock and the runoff from the island's hilly heart is trapped near the foot of these cliffs, forming a swampy moat ideal for the growing of taro. So lush is the vegetation in these sheltered swamplands and so fertile are the soils, that the neatly tended, irrigated landscapes more closely resemble the padi fields of the Philippines or Bali, rather than those of an uplifted atoll in the South Pacific.
At just inside latitude 22º south, Mangaia is the southernmost of the Cook Islands. The coolness of the months from June to August, when the mean temperature is just over 21ºC, means that crops more commonly associated with temperate climates grow well here.
Direct flights most days and several guest house style accommodation make visits to Mangaia an interesting excursion away from the beaten track.

Fuller completed the race with a time of 8:56.05. It was his best time of the year. The grad student from Ludlow, Mass. finished behind senior Nick Kramer of Calvin, who ran a time of 8:51.01. In second was junior Jack Davies of Middlebury in 8:54.61.
Fuller had qualified in this event second. But in the preliminaries, which took place two days before, he placed 12th overall with a time of 9:16.12 as he tried to conserve energy, yet still qualify for the finals.
A year ago, Brian had placed ninth at the NCAA's in this same event with a time of 9:13.04. That was one place shy of finishing as an All-American. This year, by finishing third, he did become an All-American.
Fuller's third-place finish earned his Springfield team four points. Those four points allowed SC to finish in a tie for 37th among 84 point-scoring teams at the NCAA's.
McMurry University of Abilene, Texas scored 66 points to win the team title on the men's side. Wartburg College of Waverly, Iowa scored 129 points to win the team title on the women's side,

The trial of Yisrael Beytenu leader and former foreign minister Avigdor Liberman
starts on Sunday in a dramatic case that will determine his political fate and
will likely go down in history with the cases of former prime minister Ehud
Olmert and former president Moshe Katsav.
After months of speculation
about a plea bargain agreement, Liberman is expected to plead not guilty and
deny all the charges against him.
If Liberman, 54, is convicted and his
actions are found to constitute moral turpitude, he will have to resign from the
Knesset and be out of politics for a minimum of seven years, sidelining and
possibly ending the political career of a man who is not much more than a
heartbeat away from the post of prime minister.
On January 27, Jerusalem
District Court President Shlomit Dotan announced the date of the first hearing
and that three judges will hear the case instead of the one required by law,
following a request by Attorney- General Yehuda Weinstein due to the "public
interest" relating to the matter.
In the event of an appeal, the decision
of three judges is harder to overturn than that of a single
Liberman was indicted on December 27 for fraud and breach of
public trust relating to the Belarusan Ambassador Affair. He denies all of the
allegations against him.
The indictment said that the Yisrael Beytenu
chairman failed to report an illegal leak by former Belarusian ambassador Ze'ev
Ben-Aryeh regarding an investigation against Liberman for allegedly laundering
millions of dollars.
Liberman also helped Ben- Aryeh receive a promotion
to a new ambassadorship as subsequent "payment" for the leak, the indictment
Ex-deputy foreign minister and former Liberman ally Danny Ayalon
is expected to be one of the star witnesses, among several top Foreign Ministry
and other officials, against Liberman.

Urinal Cakes to Prevent DUI's
The Colorado Department of Transportation is rolling out a new interactive ad campaign to combat drunk driving over the holiday weekend.
Motion sensor devices – called Interactive Urinal Communicators – have been installed in men's rooms statewide that deliver a 15-second audio message encouraging men not to drink and drive.
It's not a new idea, however. Michigan State Police distributed the talking urinal cakes statewide during the 4th of July weekend in 2012.
Colorado is also supporting the anti-drunk driving campaign with in-bar advertising such as coasters, posters.
The campaign targets men ages 21-34, who have a higher propensity for dying in alcohol-related car accidents.

WSFA 12 News broke the news Thursday of a gang rape investigation on the campus of Alabama State University. The alleged rape reportedly happened Nov. 1 in a dorm on campus.
After WSFA's story aired Thursday night, Alabama State University notified the student body about the investigation for the first time through an emailed letter. It reads:
"Dear Students:
Some of you may be aware that a local television station reported this evening that a sexual assault occurred on our campus in November of 2013. The news report inaccurately accused the University of trying to cover up the incident. I wanted to respond to our student community immediately that the station's accusations of a cover up are not true.
As with all incidents of this nature that involve students, our first concern is to protect our students. A female student made the allegations. Once the report was received, the University's Department of Public Safety immediately launched and executed a thorough investigation. When the investigation was compete, the findings were turned over to the Montgomery County District Attorney's Office.
The physical safety and protection of the good names of our students are of paramount importance to the University. We will keep you informed of developments related to this incident as public information becomes available."
It was two-month struggle to obtain public records to confirm the investigation in this case after the alleged victim's family contacted WSFA 12 News. Now we're digging deeper into what exactly is public record and why the documents were initially withheld.
Incident reports were created specifically for public consumption in Alabama. The purpose of the document is to notify citizens and the media of criminal investigations in short order and to compile state criminal statistics.
"They do not form the investigative file for any law enforcement agency. They are for public reporting information purposes," said Dennis Bailey, Alabama Press Association's legal counsel.
Bailey remembers the meeting some seven years ago that helped establish this form and the information that should be released to the public inside. The front page, which is key, usually only consists of very generic information -- the date and time an incident occurs and the type of offense.
"There was a consensus that the information you see now on the front of an incident offense report would not interfere with any criminal investigation and it could and should be public record within a short period of time," Bailey said.
ASU denied WSFA 12 News this information for weeks as we attempted to confirm allegations of a gang rape. ASU Public Safety Director Henry Davis said he stands by his decision to withhold the information.
"We wanted to make sure in our investigation that we did everything we could to give them an opportunity to have due process without being judged whether it was in the public or by the campus," Davis said Thursday.
Davis contends he had the right to withhold the public documents even though the front page only confirmed a rape investigation.
Bailey says officers do have the right to withhold the other pages of the report, but in almost every case that doesn't include the first page.
Still there are recommendations to meet the requirements while also protecting the integrity of the investigation like redacting or covering the information that could be an issue.
WSFA was forced to involve its attorney to obtain a copy of the front page of the report, which happened one week after the lawyer's initial request.
Davis says it was only released because his investigation was complete. It's a decision that's raising some eyebrows in the legal community.
"It's not the way open records laws work in Alabama. The government is not given the authority to make that decision. The records are open and accessible to the public, whether the public official likes that or not," Bailey said.

The program in cancer biology offers a course of study and research leading to a Ph.D. degree in cancer biology. (Students are accepted only for the Ph.D. program; the master of science degree is awarded only under special circumstances.) The graduate curriculum provides the opportunity for advanced study in cellular, developmental, and molecular biology, as well as in the basic medical sciences, and is designed as a basis for a career in fundamental biological and biochemical research. Students are introduced to the body of knowledge that has been derived directly from experiments on the induction, properties, and therapy of cancer, and they receive the necessary background in one or more of related fundamental sciences to enable them to do original research.
Graduate students in this program receive training in areas that span the disciplines central to basic cancer research, including biochemistry (of receptors involved in signaling, of gene transcription, and RNA processing), carcinogenesis (including the genetics of susceptibility to tumor formation), developmental genetics (including the analysis of proto-oncogenes in different organisms), and molecular virology of tumor viruses (including the study of viral replication and viral transformation of cells in culture). Since cancer research as a discipline is unusually broad, encompassing a wide variety of approaches to the biology, biochemistry, and genetics of this disease, the curriculum requirements are designed to be flexible and to provide students with a maximal opportunity for specialization within this multidisciplinary field. Specific information about the requirements for the Ph.D. degree in cancer biology, as well as for a minor in cancer biology, may be obtained from the program office.
Students who join this program rotate in several laboratories during the first semester to become familiar with laboratory personnel and with ongoing research. By the end of the first semester, students generally have a major professor and begin their research projects. The major professor, along with a certification committee (made up of four additional faculty members), provides guidance to the student throughout the graduate career. The ratio of graduate students to faculty is purposely kept low to maximize student and staff interaction.
The program in cancer biology includes over 40 faculty trainers from 13 departments. The research interests of the faculty broadly span cellular and viral biology, genetics, and biochemistry. A detailed description of faculty research interests is available on the program Web site. Faculty trainers have been the recipients of numerous national and international awards and prizes for outstanding scientific contributions. In addition, members of the faculty play an active role in affecting science policy, hold positions on study sections and committees of private and governmental research organizations, and serve on the editorial boards of many professional journals.
Alumni of this program hold research and teaching positions at universities throughout the U.S. and in many other countries, as well as research positions in governmental agencies, in research institutes, and in industry. Specific information on career placement of former students is available from the program office. All students who join the program in cancer biology receive financial support in the form of a traineeship or a research assistantship, though funding for the support of international students may be limited.
Students seeking admission to the program should have an undergraduate degree in biology, biochemistry, chemistry, molecular biology, or a related area and should have a grade point average of at least 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale). The background of the student should include basic courses in these areas as well as several advanced courses from among chemistry, microbiology, biochemistry, genetics, physiology, and molecular biology. Prior laboratory research experience is highly desirable.
Applicants to the program must submit a completed application online, personal statement (reasons for graduate study), official college transcripts, Graduate Record Exam (GRE) scores, and three letters of recommendation.

text:
Son Joseph didn't apply to Princeton because of their recent hire of the bloodthirsty Australian philosopher, Peter Singer, who argued that a decent pet has more of a moral claim on us than a newborn baby.
Lockstep in Singer's bloody path, two other Aussies, Alberto Giubilini and Francesca Minerva, just published a paper in the Journal of Medical Ethics arguing it should be legal to murder newborn babies--including those with no handicaps. They call it "after-birth abortion" and the title of their paper is "After-birth abortion: why should the baby live?"
Here's the abstract:
Abortion is largely accepted even for reasons that do not have anything to do with the fetus' health. By showing that (1) both fetuses and newborns do not have the same moral status as actual persons, (2) the fact that both are potential persons is morally irrelevant and (3) adoption is not always in the best interest of actual people, the authors argue that what we call 'after-birth abortion' (killing a newborn) should be permissible in all the cases where abortion is, including cases where the newborn is not disabled.
Some with consciences shaken awake have taken the journal's editor, Julian Savulescu, to task for justifying the murder of little babies. Savulescu responded at length...saying things along this line:
As Editor of the Journal, I would like to defend (the article's) publication. The arguments presented, in fact, are largely not new and have been presented repeatedly in the academic literature and public fora by the most eminent philosophers and bioethicists in the world, including Peter Singer, Michael Tooley and John Harris in defence of infanticide, which the authors call after-birth abortion.
The novel contribution of this paper is not an argument in favour of infanticide – the paper repeats the arguments made famous by Tooley and Singer – but rather their application in consideration of maternal and family interests. The paper also draws attention to the fact that infanticide is practised in the Netherlands.
Many people will and have disagreed with these arguments. However, the goal of the Journal of Medical Ethics is not to present the Truth or promote some one moral view. It is to present well reasoned argument based on widely accepted premises. The authors provocatively argue that there is no moral difference between a fetus and a newborn. Their capacities are relevantly similar. If abortion is permissible, infanticide should be permissible. The authors proceed logically...
Don't you love that capital "T" on the front of "Truth." Reminds me of Pilate.
Then Savulescu shows the nature of progressive minds minted by the Academy:
What is disturbing is not the arguments in this paper nor its publication in an ethics journal. It is the hostile, abusive, threatening responses that it has elicited. More than ever, proper academic discussion and freedom are under threat from fanatics opposed to the very values of a liberal society.
(TB, w/thanks to Alex C.)
In an odd way, it is nice to see that the veneer has been stripped away to reveal the rotting wood beneath. Formerly, pro-lifers have made arguments that life should be defined as beginning at conception rather than some arbitrary, shifting standard for the very reason that the logical conclusion of the "personhood" definition of life leads to infanticide. This argument, in my experience, is usually countered with, "OOOH! Now there's a slippery slope if I ever heard one. Don't be ridiculous!" Not so ridiculous as it once seemed, is it?
The dirty little secret is that anti-lifers, for the most part, agree that life begins at conception; they just refuse to admit their true motives for supporting the murder of the unborn. The heart of man is desperately wicked and we have plenty of ways to hide the truth -- even from ourselves. There are those who hate God so much that they will do anything to eradicate Him from their lives; even if it means killing those made in His very image. Animals and trees, which are not made in God's image, are to be protected while man, who is made in God's image, is disposable.
We need to do at least two things, both are found in Acts 17:
(1)Now while Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit was being provoked within him as he was observing the city full of idols.
(2) So he was reasoning in the synagogue with the Jews and the God-fearing Gentiles, and in the market place every day with those who happened to be present.
We can not be silent about this monstrosity that sees a pet as having a greater sanction to live than a human. I wonder: does Singer see himself as someone's pet? Is that how he justifies these horrors?
The truth is astonishing when it comes from the lost. They get it, sometimes.
Of course, if an unborn baby may be legally murdered, then any life may be taken for the same reasons.
It's terrifying that our "Christian", civilized society should argue in this vein, but it's logical.
Pro-abortion feminists don't try to pretend the unborn aren't babies anymore. They acknowledge that they are choosing between the life or death of their child.
Reading Naomi Wolf's Our Bodies, Our Souls was helpful in understanding the abortion position.
I find it interesting (?) that the pedigree of the authors is philosophy and ethics. Interesting isn't the best word, but I couldn't think of a better one. This fact further underscores what I said above. Philosophers are adept at obfuscating the truth and putting forth false motives while insisting that they are above it all.
Gnostics at heart, these people are the high priests of the church of secular-humanism, whose one and only commandment is "thou shalt look out for number one."
One last thing . . .
While I appreciate the sentiment of being called a fanatic, I think the reaction to this barely qualifies as lukewarm. Oh, that more would be fanatical for the lives of our children.
"O, that way lies madness; let me shun that."
- WS, King Lear
Not exactly the right context, but the sentiment applies. Shortly after noon today, my woefully deceived and deceiving Representative took to the floor of the House during one minute speeches to remind us all that this is 2012 and not the Dark Ages. Two which I have two replies:
She's wrong this IS a dark age. And, second, I'm not do sure I wouldn't rather live in the previous time alleged to have been a dark age. From this distance, their evils seem so honestly evil in comparison
"The New American Standard Version reflects the emphasis of most translations when it renders the passage this way:
"And if men struggle with each other and strike a woman with child so that she has a miscarriage, yet there is not further injury, he shall surely be fined as the woman's husband may demand of him; and he shall pay as the judges decide. But if there is any further injury, then you shall appoint as a penalty life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot."
"From this translation, it may be inferred that the fetus is not considered human life since the loss of the fetus by miscarriage is punished only by a fine while lex talionis, (a life for life, an eye for eye) would be expected penalty in the death of a human person. This interpretation has the support of many respected evangelical scholars [including] Bruce Waltke of Dallas Seminary"
-Dr. Bruce Waltke, OT Scholar and NASB and NIV translation committee member.
The definition of personhood depends how your scholars translate and interpret the text.
Thankfully, Dr. Waltke has since repudiated this position.
But the text is translated elsewhere as "give birth prematurely." Looking at the Hebrew, a wooden translation would be, "and the child goes out." And most other translations have it that way. So a safer bet would be to say the child may well survive but if not, the man is to pay life for life.
The logical extension to the pro-abortion argument is ultimately going to lead to this. I am afraid that we (or our children, or our children's children) may live in a "time" when parents can decide to murder their children at any point "...if economical, social or psychological circumstances change such that taking care of the offspring becomes an unbearable burden..."
Daddy is unemployed now, dear, so we need to end your life in order to make ends meet.
I pray that this paper will go viral and indeed open up the pro-deathers' eyes to see where their arguments are headed!
We really do live in a very dark age! In our state, the governor is a former E.R. physician. He's very liberal, pro-abortion, etc. Our state is one of the few that has legal physician assisted suicide. The only way to be sure your life is protected in our state is to be on death row for murder as our governor has come out against the death penalty which will no longer be allowed.
Talk about calling evil good and good evil. Lord, please deliver us from this present evil age!
RE: Post #8 and Exodus 21:22 in NASB -
The updated NASB has been out for well over a decade. It changed it's translation on this passage from:
"so that she has a miscarriage" (death)
"so that she gives birth prematurely" (life).
The earlier translation was in error with the Hebrew text.
Dr. Robinson's 2008 article used the old NASB which was corrected in 1995.
If "and the child goes out" is translated as "miscarriage," then the rest of this law directing "life for life, eye for eye," etc. doesn't make a lot of sense, because it would have to refer to the mother's life, eye, tooth, etc, as opposed to the child's life, eye, tooth, etc. So if a pregnant woman is struck such that she both loses an eye and goes into labor, and the baby dies, then the perpetrator only owes her an eye, and a monetary fine for her troubles? That just doesn't make sense in the context of Exodus, or the rest of Scripture. On the other hand, if it is translated "she gives birth prematurely": the perpetrator strikes her in such a way that she goes into labor, and her child survives, but her child lost an eye due to the trauma, then the perpetrator owes that child an eye. That makes sense in the context of Exodus, in the context of the rest of Scripture. As such, then, the "life for life" must also refer to the child's life. There are other laws elsewhere dealing with punishment for the assault, maiming or murder of someone who has already been born; this law is obviously given to address the assault, maiming or murder of someone who has not yet been born.
Thank you Ted.
Wonder why these scholars mistranslated this passage at the outset. Their mistake has led to untold bloodshed.
Let me get this straight...
We are opposed to killing babies and this knucklehead says WE are the fanatics?!
Reading the full article made me feel sick. If you don't want to wade through it all, here are a few critical quotes
"The moral status of an infant is equivalent to that of a fetus, that is, neither can be considered a 'person' in a morally relevant sense."
"The moral status of an infant is equivalent to that of a fetus in the sense that both lack those properties that justify the attribution of a right to life to an individual."
"Merely being human is not in itself a reason for ascribing someone a right to life."
"We might still have moral duties towards future generations in spite of these future people not existing yet. But because we take it for granted that such people will exist (whoever they will be), we must treat them as actual persons of the future. This argument, however, does not apply to this particular newborn or infant, because we are not justified in taking it for granted that she will exist as a person in the future. Whether she will exist is exactly what our choice is about."
"Why should we kill a healthy newborn when giving it up for adoption would not breach anyone's right but possibly increase the happiness of people involved (adopters and adoptee)? Our reply is the following. We have previously discussed the argument from potentiality, showing that it is not strong enough to outweigh the consideration of the interests of actual people. Indeed, however weak the interests of actual people can be, they will always trump the alleged interest of potential people to become actual ones, because this latter interest amounts to zero. On this perspective, the interests of the actual people involved matter, and among these interests, we also need to consider the interests of the mother who might suffer psychological distress from giving her child up for adoption. Birthmothers are often reported to experience serious psychological problems due to the inability to elaborate their loss and to cope with their grief."
"What we are suggesting is that, if interests of actual people should prevail, then after-birth abortion should be considered a permissible option for women who would be damaged by giving up their newborns for adoption."
This is the logic of hell.
If abortion is OK and infanticide is OK, killing old people is obviously OK, but on what moral foundation do the middle-aged get protection? Would the Journal publish an article arguing "on widely accepted premises" that anyone with the power to do it is entitled to kill anyone else? If not, why not?
If "logic" is the standard, how is it that responders to this article are criticized for being "hostile, abusive, and threatening," while the takers-of-lives, who must resort to hostility, abusiveness, and / or a threatening [demeanor] to accomplish their slaughter, are let off scot-free?
I like the subtle message shrouded in the URL for this post. Congrats.
My bragging. I'm sorry. I edited it out, but since a bot sets the title of the permalink by the first sentence of the post when it's first being written, that first wording lives on.
I think we should kill all the baby boomers. I mean, my right to keep the money that I pay into Social Security (socialist insecurity) should trump their right to live a comfortable retirement, right? I mean since their actual happiness is still in doubt and my real happiness is contingent upon me keeping this money, my actual happiness overrides their potential future happiness. Let's just kill them all and then we can all be happy. (joke)
I just cannot stop thinking about this article and the implications.
I would say that it is the logical conclusion of a pro-choice/pro-abortion/anti-life position, but it is merely a stepping stone. The fact is that the authors only go so far, but leave the door wide open for further "progress" in this matter. Their conclusion makes this very clear:
"First, we do not put forward any claim about the moment at which after-birth abortion would no longer be permissible, and we do not think that in fact more than a few days would be necessary for doctors to detect any abnormality in the child. In cases where the after-birth abortion were requested for non-medical reasons, we do not suggest any threshold, as it depends on the neurological development of newborns, which is something neurologists and psychologists would be able to assess."
No threshold for "non-medical reasons"? So if I decide that my 5 year old is too much of a burden, I should be free to murder -- I mean "abort" -- him? Seriously, when do "potential people" become "actual people"? Is it when they reach an age of legal consent? But when is that? 13 year olds can get abortions without parental consent. 16 year olds can drive. 18 year olds can vote and enter the military. 21 year olds can buy and consume alcohol. How do we measure the "potentiality" of human beings so that we can decide that they are actually full-blown people with all the rights afforded them.
And then there's this little issue: I am certain that the authors of this paper would support anti-spanking laws. So it's okay for me to kill my child of whatever age, but if I spank my sons in accordance with my convictions and the Word of God, I am dangerous and my children should be taken from me.
All I can say is, "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!"
I notice that "medical ethicists" invariably categorize themselves among the human lives worthy of preservation. A coincidence, no doubt.
Right. The mother might suffer "psychological distress" or "be damaged" from making an adoption plan, but won't suffer distress from knowing that she killed her child??!? Oh sorry, we don't call it murder, we just call it "post-birth abortion."
Articles like this make me want to scream.
I find it interesting that killing/slaughtering/butchering a child before birth and after birth is not only acceptable to talk about but based upon "widely agreed premises", even OK to actually do. What the author finds heinous, ghastly, and unacceptable are people who write in and vehemently disagree with his freedom of speech in his exalted liberal society.
This blog post has caused me to finally begin to wake up to the evil that is, and has been, taking place every day in this country. In thinking about the arguments of this article, and then thinking (and learning) about partial birth abortion, and then thinking (and learning) about abortion....I'm finally starting to realize the horrific evil of it all. I don't know why I've been SO calloused about it! I've grown up knowing about abortion and thinking that it was a normal part of life. A normal part of life!?!?
I don't know what else to say. WHAT in the world is wrong with me? And where do I go from here?
Malorie, what is "wrong" with you is that you are a sinner and you must repent, even if the sin stems from past ignorance on these issues. I used to be pretty liberal, pro-choice, an ally to GLBT, etc., but the Lord rescued me from that path of thinking and opened my eyes to heinous things that I had just accepted "as is." I don't know if the Baylys would promote this book or not, but I personally found the book "Why Pro Life?" by Randy Alcorn to be very helpful - both in understanding my own position and also strengthening my pro-life argument. Perhaps other brothers and sisters on this blog will have more suggestions for you.
In other news, apparently a legislator in IL is trying to add some "gender equity" to their state's proposed ultrasound bill -- by requiring men who want prescriptions for Viagra to be forced to watch a video of its "horrific side effects" first. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/05/viagra-amendment-ultrasound-mandate-illinois_n_1321800.html
Comparing an abortion procedure to a viagra prescription?!?!
The link to this disturbing article no longer works. Anyone know why? An article commenting on it says "As much as conservatives hate it, progressives hate it more. Many are convinced that it's a plant by the pro-life crowd." I must say, after losing sleep over this, I was hoping that might be the case.

I have a saved copy from my browser cache....
Sorry. The article is still on the Journal of Medical Ethics site, just under a different web address. Before posting I had searched the JME site for "after-birth abortion" and "abortion," and the article in question didn't turn up. However, after I posted a comment here, I went to the main page of the JME and found a link to the abstract, then from there a link to the new article. I compared the new web address with the old one and found that the date was changed. Does that mean the article was edited or updated? Perhaps online journals do this all the time; I don't know, I don't look at that many academic journals. I just found it odd that after links to this article appeared all over Facebook and the rest of the Internet, suddenly the links don't work.
I couldn't find the article, but I found this: http://www.firstthings.com/blogs/secondhandsmoke/2012/03/06/the-great-after-birth-abortion-non-apology-apology/
They say it's been removed and that a "non-apology apology" was issued by the authors. I wish they'd leave it up there. People will forget too quickly.
I can't believe that the authors are actually serious. But then I keep being faced with the thought, "Why not? People are ok with abortion, and there is no difference between infanticide and abortion except the murder site."
Let's not forget. Let's not fall back asleep. Many of you are not asleep, but I have been. Somebody help me stay awake. It is so easy to fall asleep.
The authors of this article are essentially declaring themselves 'gods'. May God (the one true God) help us and protect us from the results of this kind of illogic and evil.

SALISBURY — A Clinton man is being held without bail following his arraignment yesterday on an attempted murder charge for allegedly strangling his girlfriend Sunday following a dispute over a T-shirt while walking along Beach Road.
Daniel Gonzalez, 35, 203 High St., No. 1, Clinton, was arrested shortly after midnight Sunday by officers Brian Smith and David Delling minutes after officer Daniel McNeil spoke to the alleged victim. In addition to attempted murder, Gonzalez was charged with domestic assault and battery and disorderly conduct. Gonzalez is due back in court Friday for a dangerousness hearing ordered by Judge Allen Swan to determine whether he is too much of a risk to society or the victim to be afforded bail pending trial.
According to McNeil's police report, he spotted the victim in a section of tall grass near Foote's Ice Cream stand. Moments earlier, McNeil had driven by a black man walking westbound on Beach Road before spotting the victim sitting down a few feet off the roadway.
When McNeil approached the victim, she immediately told him that her boyfriend had ripped off her shirt and strangled her around the neck. McNeil then asked if the man he had passed a few moments earlier was her boyfriend and she said yes. McNeil then called for additional officers to detain the suspect, according to his report.
The victim told police the two had been walking from the beach to their room at the Dunes Motel when an argument began. McNeil's report doesn't specify what the argument was about other than it had something to do with the shirt she was wearing. Eventually, the suspect tore off the shirt and threw it towards the road. Around the same time, the victim punched Gonzalez in the face knocking off his sunglasses. Gonzalez began choking her but the victim managed to break free. Gonzalez promptly left the area as the victim began trying to flag down motorists to help her. While no one stopped to her aid, someone called police, according to police reports.
According to Smith's report, Gonzalez, whose face was bloodied, admitted a confrontation took place adding that the situation got out of hand. He also said that the victim had struck him.

411 MMA Fact or Fiction 12.19.12: Nelson/Carwin, Evans/Gustafsson, Bellator Blunders, More
Posted by
Wyatt Beougher
on 12.19.2012
Should Rashad Evans fight Alexander Gustafsson over Antonio Rogerio Nogueira? Is anyone still excited for a Shane Carwin/Roy Nelson fight? Will Mike Ricci have a better career than Colton Smith? 411's Larry Csonka and Mark Radulich debate these topics and more in this week's Fact or Fiction: MMA!
Welcome to another edition of 411's MMA Fact or Fiction, and as always, I'm your host, Wyatt Beougher. Last week we had quite the match-up, with Jonathan Solomon taking on Stewart Lange, and while I scored the bout a draw, both guest judge Todd Vote and the reader vote went to Stewart, with Stew picking up over 50% of the total vote. Congratulations to Stewart on the win, and Solomon has seriously had the worst run of luck in Fact or Fiction since I took over. You won't find a better competitor with a worse record around these parts, and I salute Solomon for continuing to come out, time after time, and give a phenomenal effort. This week, the bossman is back in action, as Larry Csonka completes a relatively quick turnaround time after his dominant performance the last time out, but he'll be taking on a formidable foe indeed, in the form of Mark Radulich. Since this will be the last ever edition of MMA Fact or Fiction*, I couldn't ask for a better way to go out.

Thoughts from Across the Pond
1.) Roy Nelson's win at the TUF Finale was impressive, but it really only set the stage for the eventual fight with Carwin, which could be the most exciting heavyweight fight ever based on their punching power and chins.
Larry Csonka:
Sorry, I am not buying that for a dollar or for anything. I like Roy Nelson, but to be completely honest here, I do not get excited for a Shane Carwin fight, and strongly feel that Carwin should retire from MMA. Carwin lost to Lesnar, had to take time off for back surgery, and I do not feel that he came back the same. He lost to JDS in a three round fight where he was easily handled by the now UFC Champion. Now at age 37, he suffered a knee injury, and as we all know, when you get older as a fighter, and the injuries pop up, that is never a good thing. I wish Carwin well, but at this stage of his life, I feel that he should retire and go back to a regular job. The man has a bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering as well as a bachelor's degree in Environmental Technology. He doesn't need to fight, and at this stage, I think that he would be better off. If he chooses to keep fighting, I wish him the best of luck and hope that he stays healthy, but I have to say that the fight doesn't interest me at all.
Mark Radulich:
Roy Nelson has already said he's done with Carwin and is ready to move on with life. They've now tried twice to put Nelson and Carwin together and both times it was scuttled because of Carwin's health. I know a few years ago he was a pretty exciting runaway freight train in the UFC's HW division but with the inclusion of Strikeforce heavyweights (Overeem, Bigfoot, Werdum, Cormier, etc.) and some of the homegrown talent developing nicely (Struve) the man isn't even close to being a contender anymore. The man gassed out and was submitted by Brock Lesnar who in turn was kicked in the 'itis by Overeem and sent packing from MMA. He then went on to, as Larry put it, get handled by the best damn heavyweight in the world of MMA, JDS. At this point he now hasn't been active in over a year and he's been sidelined with two injuries. Meanwhile. Roy Nelson has fought three times in 2012 alone and he 2-1. A fight against Carwin isn't even fair to Nelson anymore and not because he'd get beaten up. It's because he deserves a higher class of opponent who has actually been competitive in 2012 (Kongo and Barry came to mind, as well as Bigfoot after he gets KO'ed by The 'Reem). Finally, I'm in agreement with Larry, Carwin should just stay gone at this point. If he does come back he needs to be fighting guys at the lower end of UFC HW weight class. Guys who also haven't been doing too wazooey this year (Schaub, Mitrione, Herman, Del Rosario, etc.) If you feel like you must keep him around, save him for Barnett if he ever actually ends up coming over but Roy Nelson needs to continue to move onward and upward.
Judge Wyatt Beougher's Scorecard:
Both guys in agreement here, and while I'm a Carwin fan, I can't say that I disagree. I'd love to see Carwin/Nelson just to see how long they could go without punching themselves out, but Mark's right - Carwin needs to win a couple of fights now before he gets a crack at Nelson.
Radulich, 10-9
Judge Alex Watt's Scorecard:
Here we go! Larry "The Frenchie Hater" Csonka vs. Mark "The Heavyweight Humper" Radulich. This should be good folks.
So, first round and both guys come out swinging. I agree with Larry and Mark here; there is no way that a fight between Roy Nelson and Shane Carwin can, at this stage, be considered "the most exciting heavyweight fight ever". I'm surprised that neither of our competitors offered some alternative options for what they feel
be the most exciting heavyweight fight, but I am entirely in agreement with their feeling that Carwin needs to retire based on his advancing age, injury troubles and limited skillset. Mark went into more detail with his answer, looking at where Nelson stands in the division and better potential opponents for "Big Country" than Carwin, so he edges the first round on my scorecard.
Radulich, 10-9
2.) Mike Ricci will have a better career in the UFC than Colton Smith, in spite of losing to Smith in the finals of
The Ultimate Fighter
Mark Radulich:
Probably. He had a bad night Saturday night, that much is for certain, but he was clearly the best prospect that season had to offer. He has a better look than Smith and he's one of GSP's training buddies. We've recently seen that GSP is a tide that lifts all boats so he'll do well by association in that they'll continue to give him spots on cards (most likely Facebook to start off with). That being said, you can't discount his performances from earlier in the season, like knocking people out with an elbow. With more training and guidance I'm sure he will do fine. If nothing else he'll learn from the loss (like most fighters do) and come back better the next time.
Larry Csonka:
… I guess. Listen, for the most part, the Ultimate Fighter is such a waste of time anymore. People do not care about investing their time to watch the show week in and out, and with Bellator snagging up fighters that would have previously been on TUF, the talent pool is shallower than ever, especially after 16 seasons of the show. I said fiction because I don't do the cop-out "FACTION" stuff, but the truth is that I have little to no hopes for either guy doing anything in the UFC. Sure Ricci trains with the GSP crew, but that doesn't mean that he will get to an elite level. In my opinion, TUF is around because Fox pays it to be around, and because the winners will fill out FUEL TV cards, because THE UFC IS GOING EVERYWHERE AND WE NEED FIGHTERS TO FIGHT. Dana White asks these guys, "DO YOU WANNA BE A FUCKING FIGHTER?" and they enthusiastically say yes. But if you ask me if I want to watch TUF, I tried again this season, and I couldn't do it. Good luck to Smith and Ricci, but they were impressive against a shallow pool of unimpressive fighters; which give me little hope for their future.
Judge Wyatt Beougher's Scorecard:
Larry has the better answer here, even though I agree with Mark that Ricci has more potential than Smith, but I'm still giving the round to Mark, because I watch
The Ultimate Fighter
every week so that Larry doesn't have to. He loses this round for my suffering.
Radulich, 10-9
Judge Alex Watt's Scorecard:
I have to admit, if we were scoring this on whose answer is the most entertaining then I'd give the round to Larry. However, Radulich has given the more appropriate response to the statement and I agree that Ricci has more potential and marketability than Smith. Sorry boss.
Radulich, 10-9
3.) With Henderson/Machida now official, it makes more sense to pair Rashad Evans off with Alexander Gustafsson than with Antonio Rogerio Nogueira.
Larry Csonka:
Yeah, I am going fiction here. Rashad Evans lost his last fight, which while being a title fight, is still a loss. That loss came back on April 21st, which means that Evans has not fought in eight months. Evans is 33 years old and not getting any younger, and after 20 fights of record, I personally think that he needs a tune up bout before he gets involved with any contenders. Also, when the bout with Antonio Rogerio Nogueira was made, all of the top light heavyweights were occupied with someone else, and at this point, Gustafsson had a title shot promised to him, and the winner of Henderson and Machida will earn a title shot, supposedly. No, at this time Evans needs a fight like the one with Nogueira. If things work out and he gets to face Gustafsson down the line then that is also fine, but after eight months off as of this writing, I need to see if Evans still fights like a contender. Call me crazy, but I want guys earning title shots around this place.
Mark Radulich:
Nope the match-up between Lil Nog and Suga is just fine when and where it is presently. Now when Evans beats Nog (and he will) then it will make sense for the UFC to pair him with Gustafsson. In fact, as I stated a few weeks ago on the 411 Ground and Pound Radio show, I think Dana White was too quick to make Gustafsson a challenger for Bones' title. Gustafsson has shown us what he can do on his feet but he still needs to be tested by a solid wrestler before anyone will really buy him as a legit challenger. He's already lost to Phil Davis so Gustafsson must show he's improved in that area against a greater or equal opponent. Meanwhile, as the bossman put it, we haven't seen Rashad Evans since the drubbing he took in Atlanta last April. Let's see him actually win a FEW fights before throwing him back in the cage with Jones. If Evans beats Nog and The Swede and maybe someone else if Dan Henderson actually gets his rightful shot against Jones after the silly Sonnen affair then he'll have earned a rematch. But to scuttle the Evans-Nog fight in order to hotshot a fight between Evans and Gustafsson is just silly talk. Let's have some patience and actually build to something before we go all willy nilly making fights before they have truly ripened.
Judge Wyatt Beougher's Scorecard:
Radulich is on fire, taking an already good answer by Larry and expounding on it, pointing out that until Gustafsson has shown that he's improved his wrestling chops since his loss to Phil Davis (a man Evans beat), he probably shouldn't step into the cage with the champion. If the Henderson/Machida winner does get a title shot against Jones, that would give the UFC time to make Gustafsson/Evans (provided Rashad does defeat Lil Nog) before throwing Gustafsson to the wolf that's currently the champion of the light heavyweight division.
Radulich, 10-9
Judge Alex Watt's Scorecard:
I went back and forth on who to give this round to. Both men point out, quite rightly, that Evans needs to work his way back into title contention and that the UFC could quite easily book an Evans vs. Gustafsson fight if and when Rashad defeats Nogueira.
Screw it, this one's a draw. Sue me.
Draw, 10-10
4.) The cancellation/postponement of their lightweight tournament final (due to 20-year-old Marcin Held being unable to get into the casino where it was being held) is a misstep that Bellator didn't need barely a month before their debut on SpikeTV.
Mark Radulich:
That was some bush-league stuff right there. I can forgive a company when something out of control happens and they have to audible on the fly. This was not one of those cases. Management should have known whether or not the guy could compete in the casino before booking him there, plain and simple. With the move to Spike and the buy-in of Viacom, Bellator is positioning itself as the number 2 MMA company in the US. Incidents like this reveal that in reality they are only number 2 by default and in reality they are in no position to compete with the UFC. Compare the two companies this weekend. The UFC ran two shows, one in Vegas and one in Australia. Other than Varner getting sick and having to be pulled from the show (which they couldn't control) from a logistics perspective, both shows came off flawlessly. There were reports that Dana White could manage the UFC on FX 6 from afar while staying in Vegas to prep for the TUF Finale. Meanwhile, Bellator lost a main event because of poor planning. Tsk tsk Bellator, you should have known better.
Larry Csonka:
I absolutely agree with Mark here, this was poor planning and bush-league at its finest. This is the kind of thing that, as a major company, you cannot afford. But not only did this actually happen, but they did not notify fans at the beginning of the program. This was likely because they were terrified to tell fans that for the second straight week that the advertised main event was cancelled. When you are #2, and a distant #2, if you're not moving forward, you're moving backwards. Now I know that Bellator was going to hold some stuff back until they got on Spike TV, but it seems as if this season was a complete waste, because they have done nothing of note, and when there is Bellator news, it is something like this that makes them look very foolish; and that is a true shame.
Judge Wyatt Beougher's Scorecard:
Both guys with great answers here, but I'm giving the nod to Larry based on his contention that Bellator has built exactly zero momentum in season seven leading into their Spike debut.
Csonka, 10-9
Judge Alex Watt's Scorecard:
Both men agree and make virtually the same point. It's the ever popular cop-out score of a draw for this round (again).
Draw, 10-10
5.) By featuring Japanese favorites like Wanderlei Silva, Mark Hunt, and Takanori Gomi, Zuffa is aiming to make their return to Japan a big one.
Larry Csonka:
Absolutely, and they should be. The Japanese market is relatively untapped by the UFC, and making the UFC on FUEL TV 8 card as they have makes complete sense from a business standpoint. You want to appeal to whatever market you are in, and they have been doing things like this for years. Examples like tons of Canadians on the Canadian cards, the same with the UK and so on and so forth. I always laugh when US fans complain about this, but they have to remember, they have thousands of tickets to sell in that market, the TV rating is important, but they have to make money on the gate. It's not really all that difficult to understand. It also looks like a damn entertaining card, barring injuries, so I have no real issues with it whatsoever. I also like what the UFC has decided to do with the FUEL TV cards, and shifting them to primarily international events in mostly mid-level arenas. It gives a nice feel to the shows; it helps them run profitable events in those areas, and also helps the overall business expansion plan. Finally, it makes Fox happy, because thanks to the UFC, FUEL TV has grown in viewership by over 100% in 2012.
Mark Radulich:
They seemed to have evolved their thinking from the previous show in that when they go to a certain part of the globe, they need to load the card up with fighters the locals actually want to see. I remember covering UFC 144 and saying that they should have made it somewhat of a PRIDE reunion show to really make the fans happy. In some cases they tried. They had Rampage, Mark Hunt and a host of Japanese hometown favorites but the headliners were Edgar and Ben Henderson…meh. This time they appear to be gearing the event more towards what the Japanese fans want while still maintaining brand integrity. W. Silva was beloved during the PRIDE days so his presence in the main event will please the crowd and he's backed up by solid card. Sanchez vs Gomi and Hunt vs Struve could have been placed on a PPV without most people raising an eyebrow. I actually think this card in many ways is better than the UFC 144 card. Huzzah for the UFC learning valuable lessons from their first year as a FOX content provider.
Judge Wyatt Beougher's Scorecard:
Here's a glimpse at the inside workings of Fact or Fiction - each week, the contenders get two statements a piece which they answer and then I swap them, so that they can play off of one another's answers. At the same time, they get statement 5 and the bonus statement independent of one another, so any time two contestants get their answers for statement 5 or the bonus so eerily similar, I think it's pretty cool. With that said, I'm scoring this round a
Draw, 10-10
because their answers are so similar.
Judge Alex Watt's Scorecard:
Man, these guys are not making this contest easy to score, are they? Yet again, both competitors make great points and are in agreement. I'm giving the edge to Csonka for going into
more detail.
Csonka, 10-9
Official Scorecard
Judge Wyatt Beougher scored the bout in favor of

So who won? Both Alex and I scored it in favor of Radulich, even though the commenters seem to think we'll lose our jobs if we don't score these in favor of the Boss. Will you agree with us, or will you award the win to Mr. Csonka?
Who won Fact or Fiction, 2012.12.19?
Bonus.) King Mo postponing his wrestling training in order to travel to the Netherlands to resume training for his January Bellator debut shows that in spite of being signed to both TNA and Bellator, Mo is keeping his focus where it belongs, on MMA.
Mark Radulich:
It not only shows us he is keeping his focus where it belongs but it also shows us that signing a professional fighter to a contract where he'll also wrestle doesn't really work. In another life they could have tried this with Kurt Angle as he already knew the inner workings of pro-wrestling so as long as he could have stayed relatively healthy and pass commission tests, he'd have been OK. But with King Mo, they were asking him to basically learn an entirely new skill set on top of rehabbing his knee, on top of recovering from staph on top of training for a real fighting tournament. Something had to give and for his sake I'm glad it was the pro-wrestling. Now, if he loses in the first round he'll have some time back to train and perform for TNA but until then, he's in the right to solely focus on MMA.
Larry Csonka:
It's a fact, and the way that it was always going to be. Mo is a sideshow attraction for TNA, I never expected him to work a regular schedule. He is a (hopefully) crossover star for Spike TV, which is using TNA as the lead in to Bellator, as was speculated for months by others and myself. Also, Mo is in a title tournament right away, and they are banking on him being a big star for them. Whether he will be or not is still something that will be determined at a later time, but Mo is a MMA fighter first, and most of his dedication will always be there until he starts losing a lot or gets injured to the point that being an MMA fighter is no longer viable.
Judge Wyatt Beougher's Scorecard:
Again, both guys with very similar answers, so I'm scoring this one a
Draw, 10-10
. Can't say I disagree with either guy, as in Bellator, Mo's going to have guys looking to take his head off, whereas in TNA, they'll just be looking to make sure it looks like they're trying to take his head off.
Judge Alex Watt's Scorecard:
Perhaps the bigger question here is, does this mean that we won't see some sort of "King Mo" themed tournament in TNA? It could be called the "King of the Ring". Oh wait…
How about the MOld Rush tournament? The Road to WrestleMOnia? King of the DeathMO?
Anyway, considering that I scored the Fact or Fiction contest in favour of Mark, I feel I should give the bonus round to Larry - who is sort of in charge around here - in the hope that I still have a job working for 411 next week.
Csonka, 10-9

Girl Scouts of Nassau County recently recognized Krista Longobardi and Meaghan Smith, both students at Floral Park Memorial High School, for individually earning their Gold Award, the highest and most prestigious award within the Girl Scouts Organization. In order to be eligible for a Gold Award, a Girl Scout must have completed two Girl Scout Senior or Ambassador Journeys or have already received the Silver Award and completed one additional Journey. The Gold Award also requires the completion of 80-hours or more of an individual leadership Take Action project that makes a sustainable and measurable impact on an important issue, or need in the community, and that serves to educate and inspire others in the community.
Longobardi's Girl Scout Gold Award Take Action Project, Pick Your Pet, teaches children ages 5-12 the benefits of owning a pet. She was able to educate her community on the adoption process, the best pet for your household, and how adoption can save an animal's life. Longobardi's love of animals made it easy to spread knowledge on this topic. She improved her communication and public speaking skills as a result of her project since she spoke in front of her community leaders and peers.

Previewing Thursday night's ACC men's basketball game between the Boston College Eagles and the Maryland Terrapins with Patrick Stevens of the Washington Times.
Do you dream of bathing in an unending wave of college football goodness? Do you ever feel like you just see too much of your girlfriend, the sun or your Jack Russell, Bo? If so, do we have...
Maryland's assistant head coach Dalonte Hill was arrested on suspicion of DUI and won't be coaching for the next 2 Games. Will this negative press impact Maryland's best recruiter at a key time?
That's as much as all three assistants made back in 2010.
Need more evidence that things are going to change in College Park now that Gary Williams has left? Look no further than today's announcement that Dalonte Hill is joining Maryland as an assistant...
The Terps are looking like they'll be led by a trio of high-powered, well-connected assistants.
Maryland might hire the guy who got Michael Beasley to Kansas State. What would he mean for the program?
Not a fan of this, but I'm sure some of you will rejoice...
Kudos to both, but I'm not sure this is something K-Staters who enjoy seeing stability in our coaching ranks should celebrate.
Kansas State associate head men's basketball coach Dalonte Hill was recently named among the Top 25 high-major assistant coaches in college basketball, according to FOXSports.com. Hill, who is entering his fifth season at K-State this upcoming season, came in at No. 22 on the list, which included four other Big 12 assistant coaches (Kansas' Joe Dooley (No. 1) and Kurtis Townsend (No. 12), and Texas' Russell Springmann (No. 13a) and Rodney Terry (No. 13b). Several factors were used in compiling the list, including the program's success while on staff, longevity, total years as an assistant, head coaching experience, recruiting, reputation amongst peers and future potential.
ESPN's Outside the Lines did a segment on "package deals". Dalonte Hill is interviewed for his obvious connection with Michael. What's interesting here is that Baylor, KU, and Memphis are also brought into the discussion. Here's the deal, folks. If you want to compete at the highest levels, you have to do what's necessary. If KSU wants to compete with KU and Memphis, we shouldn't apologize for using their tactics. We love you, 'Te. Don't let anyone ever think that we don't think you're worth every penny to this athletic department. You're every bit as instrumental to the resurrection of this program as Bob Huggins, Frank Martin, and Michael Beasley.
