NASHVILLE, Tenn. (BP)--Sharp disagreement over societys most pressing issue surfaced during an appearance by Richard Land, president of the Southern Baptist Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, before the Trotter Group, an association of black journalists that meets annually to hear from newsmakers and to discuss issues in the news.
The group, founded by USA Today columnist DeWayne Wickham and others in 1992, is named for William Monroe Trotter (1872-1934), an African American who founded the Boston Guardian as propaganda against discrimination and who was an early proponent of non-violent protests.
Nothing is more urgent in this hour than the churchs involvement in the eradication of poverty, said Derrick Span, president of the Washington, D.C.-based Community Action Partnership, who appeared on a panel with Land. Poverty is sinful, and poverty is anti-God. Those who believe in God have no alternative but to be involved in this struggle to eradicate poverty.
Span described poverty as the new civil rights movement, insisting that, adding, If the church is going to be the church, it must pick up the fight.
The governments role is to do justice -- to establish just structures and systems that honor the dignity of life of all of its citizens, Span said. That has not happened in America. We have systems and structures in this country that have kept people of color on the margins of poverty.
A third panelist, Forrest Harris, president of American Baptist College in Nashville, said, Racism is not only a sin but is part of the very system and structures of American society, and it creates poverty.
Harris also spoke of an agenda of religion, which promotes a politicized culture around certain issues that are important to people. He juxtaposed that agenda against the larger purposes of faith, which involve loving our neighbors as ourselves, dealing with systems and structures that create oppression and poverty and working against all forms of gender injustice and gender discrimination that isolates people from community, he said.
Land, however, disagreed with the assertion that poverty should be the churchs number one issue.
I dont think the most damaging issue in this country is poverty, as important as the issue is, Land said, agreeing that the country needs to work to alleviate poverty and that the government has a measure of responsibility in the effort.
Yet not a single day has gone by in the last 32 years that I have not personally grieved and prayed for the 4,000 babies -- disproportionately African American -- who have been aborted, Land continued. I believe government has a responsibility to protect life. That includes unborn life. I personally will not rest until they are protected.
The most dangerous place an American has been over the past 32 years is his or her mothers womb, Land said, noting there is a 33 percent chance of a child being killed between conception and birth.
Interrupting Land, an unidentified audience member shouted, Do you expect us to believe that? I cant believe you can say that with a straight face that abortion is a more important issue than poverty.
Poverty is a new form of abortion, Span interjected. The difference between the doctor who does an abortion and poverty is that one aborts before the baby is born; the other aborts after the baby is born. Poverty is a form of violence, of terrorism, he asserted.
If one is concerned about life, he should be concerned about it from the womb to the tomb, Span added. Otherwise, it is absolutely egregious and sinful to fight for a life to be born and then abandon it to poverty and destruction after it is born.
Land responded, I specifically said I wasnt doing that, acknowledging, There are some prudential arguments that we can have about the best way to eliminate poverty.
DeWayne Wickham of USA Today asked Land if he is as passionately opposed to infant mortality, the under-funding of Head Start and the death penalty as he is to abortion.
Wickham said the three issues all tend to take life away from people.
Land said, We are committed to eliminating poverty and the kind of grinding poverty that would be reflected in infant mortality, while expressing shame that in U.S. law allows a partially born full-term baby -- that could survive if it were just put into an incubator -- to be killed.
We dont believe that any human being ought to have the absolute right of life and death over another human being, even its mother, Land said.
Land said that he, like most Southern Baptists, support the death penalty with certain caveats. If you are going to support the death penalty then you have to be as supportive of its equitable and just application, Land said, suggesting it is immoral to support it otherwise. A person is much more likely to be executed if they are poor rather than wealthy, a person of color and a man, he added.
Justice for the poor, Harris emphasized, is the primal issue for the church. It is a global issue. Savage capitalistic structures continue to create misery for two-thirds of the world. The aftermath of Hurricane Katrina revealed that America has allowed the issues of poverty to remain constant and deepen in the trenches of an economic system that has not been fair and just to all citizens. Harris said.
Land agreed about the necessity of concern for the poor, saying, The Bible tells us to be.
Land told the journalists he had spent much of his ministry working against pietism -- the idea that the separation of church and state means the separation of religiously informed moral values from public policy and that faith is purely private and personal.
This was a dominant view in much of the white church in 19th and 20th century, he said.
He observed that Martin Luther King Jr. invested much effort in trying to get the white church to join in the struggle for civil rights for black Americans, noting that Kings Letter from Birmingham Jail was addressed to the white church.
In the letter, which King wrote on scraps of paper in 1963 in a jail cell in Birmingham, Ala., he said he was greatly disappointed with the white church and its leadership and its general failure to support the civil rights movement.
I have watched white churchmen stand on the sideline and mouth pious irrelevancies and sanctimonious trivialities, King wrote, suggesting most white clergymen felt the issues were social concerns with which the gospel has no concern.
Land praised the role African American churches played in bearing witness against injustice and immorality in American life.
In leading the civil rights movement, King was calling Christians to confront the disconnect between what they said they believed and what they practiced in allowing segregation.
Citing Stephen Carters pivotal work on religion and its place in private and public life, The Culture of Disbelief, Land said various elites continue to seek to marginalize and trivialize religious faith, asserting that ones faith should have no real bearing on public policy.
If this kind of ethos had been loose in society during the 1950s and 1960s, he suggested, it would have crippled the civil rights movement from its very inception.

at VA Saudi Diplomatic Compound
NBC News
A case of "possible human trafficking" at a Saudi diplomatic compound in Virginia is under investigation, the Department of Homeland Security confirmed to News4.
Homeland Security Special-Agent-in-Charge John Torres, who is leading the probe, said Fairfax County Police responded to a tip Tuesday night citing a possible case of modern slavery.
US Immigrations and Customs Enforcement/Homeland Security Investigations were called to a home in the 6000 block of Orris Street in McLean and -- in the words of a source familiar with the investigation -- "rescued" two women. One woman reportedly tried to flee by squeezing through a gap in the front gate as it was closing.
"In this particular case, what we ended up doing is setting up an arranged time to meet some people. They met us at that time and we took them out of that situation," Torres said.
It's not clear if the women, whom sources say are from the Philippines, called investigators to the home themselves or if someone else did.
The women are now in protective custody.
"We ultimately took those potential victims out of that situation," Torres said. "They're safe now, being interviewed by our agents and victim witness coordinators."
The investigation is in its very early stages and complicated by the possibility that some of those involved may have diplomatic immunity, said a State Department spokesperson.
A 2008 US Government Accountability Office report notes that in previous cases, "...The accused foreign diplomats held full diplomatic immunity and this could not be prosecuted in US courts."
Rep. Frank Wolf (R-VA) said Saudi Arabia has been faulted in the past for abuse of a special visa program that allows foreign diplomats to bring household workers into the United States. "They bring them in; they work them seven days a week; they take their passports away," Wolf said.
The compound -- with three security gates, a guard shack and security staff on foot patrol -- is owned by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, according to Fairfax County real estate records.
A man outside the gates who said he works for the embassy told News4 the homeowner was at the embassy Wednesday, and vehicles driven in and out of the gates had diplomatic license plates.
"The US State Department is aware of this matter," said spokesperson Patrick Ventrell. "Diplomatic security is aware of the matter, and we're working with the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security, specifically Immigration and Customs Enforcement."
Editor's Note: Who would ever suspect that Saudis would traffic in females given their incredible record of women's rights?...

Vacation Rentals in Israel
Israel Rental Results
Israel Local Information and Area Highlights
Travel to Israel / Israel Vacation Rentals
Whether you are seeking high levels of activity, great beaches, archaeology, or a place to pray, Israel has it! The reverent, history-seeking and sports-minded vacationers all need some level of rest in an Israel vacation rental.
Israel Religious Vacations
Though there is plenty of natural beauty, and sports of all kinds to entertain the outdoor lovers, there is an abundance of religious history to explore in Israel. The Western Wall in the Old City of Jerusalem is extremely important to the Jewish community, and many pray in front of the wall. Elijah's Cave in Haifa holds significance for Christians, Muslims, and Jewish people. Many events in the Bible took place at locations in Israel where you can stand at or be inside of them. The Al Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem is considered the third holiest site in the world for Islam. You're sure to find a vacation's worth of touring for each religious belief. Jerusalem vacation rentals will help change just about any vacationer.
Israel Vacation Spots
The lively alleys, streets, and walls of Akko draw vacationers to incredible looks at sights such as Galilee and Mount Carmel. Its subterranean area was dug up by archaeologists in the 1950's, and you can enjoy the theater sounds at an ancient hall excavated from sand. Visit the over 4,000 year old remains of the well of Abraham in Tel Sheva, just outside of Beersheba. In Beersheba, perhaps you'd like to vie for a camel or something else with other tourists at the weekly market. A British war cemetery from the early 1900's is open.
Bet Shean, in its former life over a millennium ago, was a sophisticated city filled with entertainment complexes and temples. Today, a multitude of excavations have revealed many pieces, including floors of mosaic design, columns, and houses. Take a look at Caesarea, an ancient city highly appealing to vacationers and high living; where else could you expect the 18-hole golf course in Israel to be? Stroll along Caesarea's beaches; stop for a bite in a great restaurant, and stare at the Roman theater.
Eilat lies along the coast of the Red Sea, and is a resort town to the max – with a smorgasbord of rappelling, tennis, volleyball, mountain biking, and water sports: boating, swimming, water-skiing, kayaking, and snorkeling to see the great reefs. Sun rules here! Haifa contains artifacts from the Stone Age to the Ottoman time period, and serves as the major port of Israel. The Mt. Carmel area of Haifa comes alive with culture and entertainment. You can also see centers of some religious minority groups in Haifa.
From January through December, Herzilya is ideal for beach lovers and boaters – the Herzilya Marina has room for 800 vessels. Don't go to bed early in Herzilya- you'll miss the bustling nightlife, complete with movie theaters, restaurants, coffee shops, and bars. Jerusalem, the must-see capital of Israel, is divided into four quarters based on religious belief – Jewish, Christian, Armenian, and Muslim. There is something special for each of the believing groups, from the Shrine of the Book, and its Dead Sea Scrolls, Yad Vashem and its history of the Holocaust, to the Islamic Museum with arts and tools. Jerusalem contains plenty of other attractions in its active nightlife, abundance of history, and even a Biblical Zoo filled with animals without bars. You'll keep busy in this city.
The mountain of Masada needed to be excavated in order for its tourist industry to boom. At Masada's base, a beautiful visitor's center sits attractively, and to ascend the mountain, cable cars carry vacationers in the thousands. Peaceful coexistence of Christians and Muslims is found in Nazareth, and its history in Christianity draws pilgrims from around the world. Nazareth sits on a hillside, dotted by snow churches and pretty red roofs. Find the 1st century ruins at the Church of St. Joseph's Carpentry.
A promenade provides for an excellent view of the resort town of Netanya. Netanya is blessed with gorgeous white sand beaches, and offers many outdoor/indoor activities without charge. Practice sports of all types in Netanya, then go to the countryside to relax in an agricultural setting. Tel-Aviv blends its business, culture, entertainment, and resort characteristics quite well. The shopping is high-class, and the beaches gold sand. Take a glance or two at the largest collection of Bauhaus architecture worldwide.
Tiberias is well known for its recreation and mineral hot springs/spa facilities. Lake Tiberias, also referred to as the Sea of Galilee, holds great history and water sport opportunities. Near the lake is of strong interest to hikers and cavers.
Whether it's Tel Aviv or Jerusalem vacation rentals that intrigue you the most, Israel vacation rentals are the best pick for your Western Asia experience. While an Israel vacation rental isn't terribly well-known, it is a lot more natural and affordable than the alternative.

Did I miss something? When did Loa become a Defender? Since when is She-Hulk a current Defender (as opposed to a 'Last Defender'? Tony ingram 16:55, June 4, 2011 (UTC)
OK, I( realize I don't keep totally up to date with the X books, but i can't find anything at all to suggest that this latest lineup edit is accurate. Can someone clarify? Tony ingram 17:01, June 4, 2011 (UTC)
- In this week's Fear Itself: The Deep #1, Namor gets beaten by Attuma/Nerkkod and sent packing, leaving Nerkkod to capture New Atlantis. Realizing he needs help, Namor (accompanied by Loa. For why she's there, check the Namor: The First Mutant series) calls on Dr. Strange who performs a spell (I forget the exact name) to gather their "friends" (an obvious Defenders reference). The spell draws in She-Hulk (Lyra) instead of Hulk (likely because he's possessed by Nul), and Silver Surfer arrives on the last page saying that "the Defenders" (referring to the assembled foursome) need his help to defeat their enemy. I believe there's at least one more reference to them being the Defenders in the issue, but by the end, it's fairly clear that's who they're meant to be.

Cassandra was scouted this past February while on tour with her death metal band. Yes, that's right, this fresh-faced beauty— like Lara Stone's goth-fixated kid sister—was thrashing on the bass across the west coast with In Coma. It's Smith's first fashion week of castings and shows, but she already knows she would love to get booked for Vivienne Westwood in London, or in Paris. "She's so cool," Smith says, "and she got to hang out with the Sex Pistols!"

One man, one letter, one hell of a human being
Everyone has a story. If you are a fan of Cleveland Sports, be it in passion or in passing, odds are that you have a story with Zydrunas Ilgauskas serving as the central character. If you frequented Cleveland's warehouse district during the early aughts, chances are you saw a late-20s Ilgauskas alone at a nightclub, leaning against a varnished wooden bar that barely hit him at the waste. More often than not, he would be wearing a cap of some sort; Kangols were huge back in the day. On the rare occasion, he would be puffing on a cigar the size of a human arm, losing himself in the fog. Many have had the fortune of crossing paths with Zydrunas or his family over the last several years as they lived out the second phase of the big man's career. There are some individuals who shared the same day care or schooling system with the Ilgauskas family. There are others who have shared a flight with Big Z as he and his never-ending legs were crammed in a standard seat on a Southwest Airlines-branded Boeing 737.

A Judgement in Stone (Vintage Crime/Black Lizard)by Ruth Rendell
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
What on earth could have provoked a modern day St. Valentine's Day massacre?
On Valentine's Day, four members of the Coverdale family--George, Jacqueline, Melinda and Giles--were murdered in the space of 15 minutes. Their housekeeper, Eunice Parchman, shot them, one by one, in the blue light of a televised performance of Don Giovanni. When Detective Chief Superintendent William Vetch arrests Miss Parchman two weeks later, he discovers a second tragedy: the key to the Valentine's Day massacre hidden within a private humiliation Eunice Parchman has guarded all her life. A brilliant rendering of character, motive, and the heady discovery of truth, A Judgement in Stone is among Ruth Rendell's finest psychological thrillers.
"A classic." The London Times
"It will be an amazing achievement if [Rendell] ever writes a better book." London Daily Express
"Ruth Rendell is the best mystery writer in the English-speaking world." Time
"Rendell writes with such elegance and restraint, with such a literate voice and an insightful mind, that she transcends the mystery genre and achieves something almost sublime." Los Angeles Times

JAZZ: The Smithsonian Anthology, the new 111-track, 6-CD, 200-page compendium of the great American musical invention, traces the turning points of this 20th-century tale through its legendary innovators and notable styles. The great American musical invention of the 20th century, jazz is an ever-youthful, still evolving music of beauty, sensitivity, and brilliance that has produced (and been produced by) an extraordinary progression of talented artists.
With 111 tracks that showcase artists at their best and most influential, this remarkable anthology updates and expands the milestone Smithsonian Collection of Classic Jazz of 1973, once again offering a wellspring resource for educators, students, musicians, beginners, and aficionados. Scores of leading jazz scholars, performers, and writers collaborated in selecting the recordings and producing the incisive annotations.
The accompanying book also features an informative background essay as well as suggestions for listeners on appreciating the full richness of the performances.

JAZZ: The Smithsonian Anthology renews the legacy of Folkways Records founder Moses Asch's commitment to letting the "people's music" be heard and fulfills the educational mission of Smithsonian Folkways Recordings, the nonprofit record label of the United States national museum.

Jerome Boger
Jerome Boger is an American football official in the National Football League (NFL) since the 2004 NFL season. He started in the league as a line judge and was promoted to referee in 2006 after two seasons. Along with Gene Steratore, he is one of two new referees for 2006, replacing retired officials Bernie Kukar and Tom White. Boger became the third African-American referee in the NFL after Johnny Grier and Mike Carey. He wore the uniform number 109 for the 2004 and 2005 seasons, but changed to number 23 in 2006.
Boger played quarterback at Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia and was a four year starter. Realizing that he did not have the football skills to make it on a professional level, he decided to get into officiating, allowing him to stay close to the game. He started working high school and recreational league games before moving up to small colleges. He spent 11 years in the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference and five seasons in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference from 1996 to 2000.
Boger has also served as a referee in Conference USA, Arena Football League, and NFL Europe.
Jerome has a son that plays defensive back in the NFL, Tra. Tra is currently a free agent after being released from the Green Bay Packers on September 2, 2006. He had signed as an undrafted free agent with the team on May 5, 2006.
Boger resides in Conyers, Georgia. Outside of his NFL officiating duties, he is an underwriter for Allstate Insurance in Atlanta.

Right after President Obama was elected in his second term, there were already whispers of Hillary Clinton running in 2016. It was too soon to talk about her running then, but nearly a year after Obama's reelection I think we can openly talk about it now. I would love for Hillary Clinton to run for President in 2016, and a lot of other people would as well.
What is also totally awesome about a new Clinton campaign, is how freaking scared the GOP is of her, and they should be!
Reince Priebus, The chairman of the Republican National Committee, sent letters to NBC and CNN demanding they stop production on an upcoming miniseries and a documentary about Hillary Clinton or else no person of the Republican party will take part in their national debates come 2016.

by Mark Curtis, ABC6 Chief Political Reporter
They were marching in bone chilling weather to make a point.
Dozens joining the Rhode Island Interfaith Coalition on its annual trek to the Statehouse, hoping for more funding to help those living in poverty, and homelessness.
Reverend Donald Boucher, a minister from Newport said, "To remember those who are suffering. It's very cold outside. Every year we have people die outside, and we want to make sure people are cared for. Nothing more, nothing less than that."
During a statewide count three weeks ago, nearly one thousand people were found to be homeless in Rhode Island.
ABC6 Chief Political Reporter Mark Curtis said, "Concern for the homeless is likely to grow over the next couple of days. That's because overnight temperatures are forecast to drop into the low teens."
There are other concerns, too. One–in–five children in Rhode Island now live in poverty.
Unemployment here remains the second highest in the nation.
Albert Cherette was out of work and homeless for eight months. He came to the Statehouse to tell his story.
Cherette said, "You're freezing. You're bitter. You want a job. No one will give you a job. And you keep saying to everybody, 'Hey listen, the homeless need a job, too. I'm a homeless person, give me a job.' They won't give you one."
State officials said they would try to do more, to help. Governor Lincoln Chafee (I-RI) said, "I can pledge in the legislative session, we'll be listening to your proposals and growing our economy, that's what we need to do."
For now much of the help for those in poverty comes from religious and private charitable organizations.

A welterweight match up between Ricky "Horror" Story and Nick Osipczak has been added to the UFC 112 card set to take place on April 10 from Abu Dhabi, the home of Zuffa's newest business partners, according to FiveOuncesofPain.com.
Story (9-3) has looked impressive of late. After dropping his UFC debut to John Hathaway at UFC 99, "Horror" has put together back-to-back wins. After submitting Brian Foster at UFC 103, Story had arguably the best performance of his young career outworking Jesse Lennox at UFC Fight Night 20 to earn a unanimous decision.
Nick Osipczak, though he holds an unblemished record of 5-0, is largely inexperienced. Most fans will remember the brit from his stint on The Ultimate Fighter: United States vs United Kingdom. Osipczak made it to the show's semi-finals where he lost DaMarques Johnson.
In his two official fights under the UFC banner, Osipczak submitted fellow reality show competitor Frank Lester at The Ultimate Finale 9, and pulled an upset when he finished Matt Riddle in the third round of their contest at UFC 105.
UFC 112 was made official for April 10 from Ferrari World in Abu Dhabi by the Zuffa brass last week. The show may just prove to be their best of the year. As it is currently constructed, the card will feature a three-headed monster of main events.
Former champ Matt Hughes will welcome Renzo Gracie to the Octagon, BJ Penn will try to defend his lightweight belt yet again, this time against Frankie Edgar, and Anderson Silva will finally put his title on the line for the first time in almost exactly one year when he takes on the rejuvenated Vitor Belfort.

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver got a strange response when he opened the NBA Draft the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York — applause.
This breaks an annual tradition of the draft crowd booing the NBA Commissioner, something former Commissioner David Stern grew to accept and even relish.
After Silver's decisive action during the Donald Sterling scandal his popularity is extremely high, and the crowd rewarded him.
NBA commissioner Adam Silver is greeted with cheers here at Barclays Center.—
Nicole Auerbach (@NicoleAuerbach) June 26, 2014
He didn't totally escape jeers, however. When Silver mentioned the San Antonio Spurs and the Cleveland Cavaliers, the pro-New York crowd showered down boos.
The boos weren't for you, Mr. Commissioner.

Chile have won just one of their last four qualifiers -- including a loss to Peru -- and find themselves ahead of Venezuela for the final automatic qualification spot on just the goals scored tiebreaker. Chile look to have the weapons to be able to deal with a struggling Paraguay with Juventus' Arturo Vidal in midfield and Barcelona's Alexis Sanchez in the attack. Sanchez was strong at the end of the season for Barca scoring three goals in his final four games.
Paraguay have struggled in qualifying winning just twice in eleven matches so far. They're led by strikers Oscar Cardozo and Roque Santa Cruz, both of whom they'll need to have scoring if they have any hope of getting back into the qualification fight and attempt to make their fifth straight World Cup finals.

Out: None.

This thread got way out of hand pretty quick, with several cats going over to BE and stirring shit up. Here's the bottom line: Some Mania guys don't like BE, some BE guys don't like Mania. Whether it's the moderators, the writing or the overall experience, some people lean one way, while others go another way. And then there is Jesse, who goes both ways. Anyway, maybe it's because we are both under the same corporate roof, I'm not sure, but for whatever reason it's become commonplace to rag on either site, incite the faithful and stand up for their respective sites. It's kind of cool if you think about it, cross-town rivals, but its really not upon deeper inspection. It causes major problems behind the scenes. Managing these enormous communities is a major task on its own. Putting spotters in the watch tower around the clock is an unnecessary exercise that gets old real quick. So, yeah, there is a global IP ban, which can get you banned from SB Nation altogether, including Mania and the other 200 sites on the network. Lots of people have the power to break that glass and just make you go away because I/we/they have more important shit to do like keep content flowing, etc. Long story short: Be smart, have fun. But, if you have an issue with the way a site is run or operated take it up with that site or voice your concerns over there. There are tons of "Mania sucks ass" threads at BE that have been outright deleted out of respect. I am keeping this one up with the hopes that it is read and understood. Thanks, Maniacs. Any issues email me at t o m @ m m a m a n i a . c o m.
I'm an MMA fan. And occasionally I like to converse with other MMA fans, whatever their viewpoints, level of vocabulary, culture, etc... But generally I'm more interested in reading articles/ comments then taking part.
I also enjoy a bit of back and forth humour, sometimes childish, sometimes pretty damn "laugh out loud" hilarious.
I truly haven't given two shits about the debates between BE and Mania, but since I've started paying closer attention to the comments at Bloody Elbow. It's really hard not to get yourself drawn in...
And I get it now.
It started for me when I read an article on BE celebrating the talents of a BE writer. It came across just a tad pretentious to me, but I thought whatever... these guys are probably long term buddies, and sometimes with people you really respect, you blow a bit of smoke up their ass... but I'm sure he's a good writer... good for him.
I checked out the first comment, and it was from another popular editor, a managing Editor of BE.
He felt it was necessary as first comment to state, that since the write-up was about his buddy, he didn't want "his" community to say anything other than positive remarks, otherwise they would be kicked from the site.
As you do, I smiled whilst scratching my head at this comment...
Why would this Editor, who didn't write the article, and wasn't the topic of discussion, feel the need to tell his community to blow smoke up his buddies ass, or face the consequences?
A few weeks on, I'd notice more articles congratulating other editors on their ability to write articles... and more tyrant like, dictatorship behaviour from the Managing Editor in question.
I wrote a few retaliating comments regarding this, and the typical responses I received were patronising "If you knew anything about business..." and Bitch-made "If you don't like intelligent conversation, f*** off to Mania"
So from experience, I now understand why these communities clash.
To sum up my thoughts... (The picture I've painted in my head, right or wrong...)
- BE have a bunch of talented writers who take themselves a bit too seriously, preferably writing articles about themselves, than MMA news itself.
- A Managing Editor who's taken the route of maintaining his fan base through fear of punishment, rather than respect or admiration.
- A pretentious community who are more invested in their BE leaders, than the sport itself.
First impressions hit hard. And as much as I enjoy the write-ups at BE, I don't feel welcome amongst the community. And I think most of the BE community don't feel welcome either. Which could explain there need to overly protect and praise their Editors, for acceptance.
that's my rant.
Just want to say thanks guys for the comments and recs, my first fanpost (probably last) so thanks again.. kinda made my day getting so much feedback :/

Black Cats close in on right-back
8:00am Wednesday 19th June 2013 in Sport By Steph Clark, Sports Reporter
SUNDERLAND have edged closer to signing Lazio's Luis Pedro Cavanda after the Italian club identified a replacement for the right-back.
Black Cats officials have already made contact with their Lazio counterparts over the availability of Cavanda, 22, who revealed he would not be signing an extension to his contract that expires next summer.
Cavanda featured heavily for the Serie A club in the first half of last season, but his refusal to sign a new deal resulted in him being dropped for the remainder of the season.
Knowing they could lose him for nothing next summer, Lazio are looking to sell in this transfer window, but are keen to first secure a replacement.
Anderlecht right-back Marcin Wasilewski has emerged as a potential replacement and if a deal can be agreed, it would free the Angolan-born right-back to join Sunderland once he returns from holiday.
Director of football Roberto de Fanti has been working to secure Paolo Di Canio's fifth summer signing and Cavanda's arrival would almost certainly spell the end of Phil Bardsley's Sunderland career.
The former Manchester United trainee angered Di Canio at the end of last season after being pictured lying on a Casino flow surrounded by £50 notes, with the Black Cats boss admitting he would probably never play for him again.
Bardsley still has time left on his current deal, but could be offered a way out of the Stadium of Light by former Sunderland manager Steve Bruce.
The Hull City boss is building a squad ahead of the club's return to the Premier League next season and having already acquired Wigan left-back Maynor Figueroa, Bruce has now set his sights on Bardsley.
The 27-year-old won't be the last player to leave the Stadium of Light this summer with Di Canio keen to overhaul the squad he inherited from Martin O'Neill.
Titus Bramble and Matt Kilgallon have already left and Bardsley could join the pair alongside David Vaughan.
The midfielder is thought to be surplus to requirements and he could be reunited with former Blackpool boss Ian Holloway at Crystal Palace.
Like Bruce, Holloway is preparing Palace for life in the Premier League and sees Vaughan as an ideal signing.
With the Welsh international's contract at the Stadium of Light due to run out next summer, Sunderland would rather cash in on the midfielder now rather than risk losing him for nothing in 12 months.
Vaughan has also been linked with a move back to Wales, with other Premier League new boys Cardiff City rumoured to have shown interest.
However, the Eagles have already made an inquiry for the 30-year-old.
Meanwhile, former Sunderland youth midfielder Adam Reed has joined League Two side Burton Albion on a one-year deal.
He was also wanted by York City, where he spent five weeks on loan last season, and was previously linked with a move to hometown club Hartlepool.

Album Rating: 3.5Please tell me where I can improve.
Hmm, tough to say, this review is pretty solid. Maybe a bit more on band history? I dunno, you really nailed this one IMO, although I would disagree about Part Of Me, which is probably my favourite song on here.
Album Rating: 3.5Awesome thanks dude.
It was an alright review. Saying things like I love this song or this song is great (I need to work on this too so you're not alone) doesn't tell me much. I'm not going to neg it because it by all means doesn't deserve it.
Album Rating: 3.5Alright thanks for the feedback. I'll try to work on that.
This was a fairly good review- but since you've written almost ten, I think it's time you started to show some serious improvement.
Your review read well, but after going over this I still have no idea what this sounds like. Example:
The Gaping Lotus Experience which is my personal favorite song on the CD. The lyrics are absolutely hilarious and definitely worth memorizing. This song can actually makes me laugh out loud, but you have to hear it for yourself.
You gave The Gaping Lotus Experience a perfect rating, but you only hinted that it's lyrically humorous. Emotions? Colors and sounds? Grooves? Atmosphere? Vibes? None of these were addressed in the description- or the entire review, for that matter.
The hardest part of writing a review is trying to describe familiar music to new listeners. To convey this effectively, you will need to bring up more than just "It's awesome" and "The drums are cool". Give the overall feel of the album- the moods it encompasses, the soundscape it builds...the whole thing.
In my estimation, a great review only needs the word "guitar" three times at most.
The Gaping Lotus Experience which is my personal favorite song on the CD. The lyrics are absolutely hilarious and definitely worth memorizing. This song can actually makes me laugh out loud, but you have to hear it for yourself.
that was the most helpful comment ever!!
Album Rating: 3.5I'd say.
Thanks a ton dude!!!
Calling Opiate "a song about god" is really not doing it justice, and how the hell can you
give The Gaping Loutus Experience 5/5? It's not even a real song.This Message Edited On 11.12.06
Album Rating: 3.5I love that song.
I plan on editing this soon, I know this review needs improvement.
This should definitely be a classic...

Darren Sproles needs 34 yards in the final game against the Carolina Panthers to break Lionel James's combined yardage mark for a running back. He is 190 combined yards short of breaking the NFL combined yardage mark. This is not impossible. He had 233 all-purpose yards against the Falcons. He will need to break a long one against the Panthers to get the overall record, but should have no problem breaking the mark for a running back.
The news is not so good for Jimmie Graham. He is well short of the record for most receiving yards per game for a tight end set by Jackie Smith. He would need 185 yards to break that record. However, if he had 12 catches for 78 yards, he would break the record for most receiving yards and most receptions for a season by a tight end.
Roman Harper is still one sack short of the NFL record for sacks by a defensive back.
The Saints are 9 points short of breaking the teams all time scoring record. The Saint do have the team record for point differential at the moment with +180 which beats the old record +169.

TOMAHAWK (WKOW) – Federal officials are investigating a
Tomahawk area mill after a recent accident.
According to the Wausau Daily Herald, the Lincoln County
Sheriff's Department says a worker was severely burned Tuesday at Packaging
Corp. of America.
The Wausau Daily Herald says the employee was taken to a
local hospital and then flown to University Hospital in Madison. Neither the sheriff's department nor company
officials released details of how the accident happened.
Authorities say the mill has a history of fatal injuries to
workers. Two men working as contractors
from Ontonagon, Michigan, suffered fatal burns at the Tomahawk plant last
July. Three employees were killed in
2008 when sparks ignited flammable gas in the storage tank at the mill, which
produces corrugated packaging and container board.
Occupational Safety and Health Administration spokesman
Scott Allen tells the Wausau Daily Herald the investigation into the latest
accident could take up to six months.

Press reports don't describe Jelvon Helton as a young San Francisco champion who was murdered while celebrating the Giants' victory. Instead, article after article in the mainstream media simply states that a gang member was killed.

Who will fight for the people? Who will stand with them on tough issues? Nyese Joshua. Why is Bayview Hunters Point at the center of my focus? Because it is the political boiling point; Bayview, as they say, is San Francisco's future.

Winslet husband 'not public figure' (From Salisbury Journal)

Winslet husband 'not public figure'
12:19pm Thursday 17th January 2013 in National News © Press Association 2014
Actress Kate Winslet's husband is not a public figure in his own right, a High Court judge has said.
Ned RocknRoll had "briefly become something of a public figure" as a result of his relationship with Miss Winslet, said Mr Justice Briggs. But the judge said that was not enough to place Mr RocknRoll - a nephew of tycoon Sir Richard Branson - into the "public sphere".
Mr Justice Briggs's analysis emerged as he revealed his reasons for preventing a tabloid newspaper printing "innocent but embarrassing" photographs taken of Mr RocknRoll at a private fancy dress party with an "outrageous" theme more than two years ago.
The Sun had argued that publication of the "semi-naked photos" would be justified because Mr RocknRoll - who changed his name from Edward Abel Smith - was a public figure. Miss Winslet and Mr RocknRoll - who are both in their 30s - married in New York in December.
Mr Justice Briggs ruled against newspaper bosses following a two-day hearing at the High Court in London earlier this month. He revealed his reasons for the decision in a written judgment.
"Mr RocknRoll has, inevitably, briefly become something of a public figure as a result of his relationship with, and now marriage to, Miss Winslet," said Mr Justice Briggs "To some unavoidable degree this has led to published photographs of them together, but not so as to place Mr RocknRoll in the public sphere in his own right."
After Mr Justice Briggs ruled against Sun publisher News Group Newspapers on January 8, Miss Winslet said she aimed to maintain privacy and refused to accept that her family could not lead a "relatively normal life".
"We have stopped The Sun from publishing semi-naked photos of Ned taken by a friend at a private 21st birthday party a few years ago," said Miss Winslet and Mr RocknRoll in a joint written statement. "The photos are innocent but embarrassing and there is no reason to splash them across a newspaper."
Mr Justice Briggs was told at the hearing earlier this month that the dispute over publication rights could be fully aired at a High Court trial. And he banned publication pending any trial.
But lawyers for both sides told the judge that there would be not be a trial. They said Mr RocknRoll and the Sun had now agreed a settlement of the litigation. The terms of that settlement were not disclosed.

I'm using Carbide vs, VS2003, SDK S603rd.
I want to compile all my sources with the C++ compiler, regardless what extension my files have.
I found in Carbide .vs install directory, /doc, C_Compilers_Reference_3.2.pdf , and it said in Capital "Using the C++ Compilers Always"(page 55) that we can force C++ compilation by enabling an option
"Force C++ Compilation" setting in the C/C++ Language Panel.
I cannot find this option :-( and what I understand with C/C++ Language Panel is in a Project >> right mouseclick Properties >> the section C/C++, am I right?
The ideas in http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/fo...highlight=lang cannot be used.
1. to change all the extension in .cpp will take a looong time, since I have about 800 files, which most ended with .h and .c.
2. to add the line "#pragma cplusplus on" manually in every files, where c++ compiler particulary needed is very complicated.
So basically there should be 2 ways to solve the problem:
1. Find the option "Using C++ Compiler always", but where exactly?
2. Add the line "#pragma cplusplus on" automatically in every files, how can it be done exactly?
Any helps would be very appreciated.
Best Regards,

Finding ways to stay entertained and busy
Finding ways to stay entertained and busy during the cool months of winter can be a challenge for anyone. Fortunately, there are a number of ways you can stay busy and active despite the weather. With a bit of planning and a bit of preparation, you can turn any snow day into an adventure.
First off, consider meditation. If you've never meditated before, check out One Taste. Meditation offers a number of physical, spiritual, and emotional benefits. It's also a wonderful way to spend an afternoon by yourself or with a partner. Meditation can help minimize anxiety, reduce stress, and even help with depression.
Another way to stay busy is to break out the old board games. If you haven't played "Risk" or "Monopoly" since you were a kid, consider getting a game together with some friends or family members. Everyone can enjoy a good game and, if you've played it one too many times, simply switching up the rules can be a fun way to bring back the excitement. Another option would be to invest in some new board games specifically for storms and bad weather so you can try to figure out a new game together as a family.
If you're interested in crafts, another fun way to spend a wintery afternoon is to create something together. Consider digging through your craft box. Surely you have some unfinished projects sitting around that could use a loving touch. Why not spend an afternoon finishing that dress you started to sew or the afghan you began to crochet and forgot about? If you aren't a crafty person, maybe now is the time to start. Before the bad weather sets in, head to your local craft shop and pick up some supplies. Start with something simply or easy, like a scrapbook or painting, and gradually work your way up to more difficult, challenging projects.
Remember that regardless of how you choose to spend your afternoon, the important thing is that you enjoy yourself and enjoy spending time with the people you love. Just because you're snowed in or stuck with a blizzard doesn't mean you have to be bored. A bit of planning and preparation can change any boring afternoon into a wonderful adventure.
Reasons to Turn Your Eyes to Electronic Cigarette
If you are warned to eat chicken or red meat, you can live without them in a month or at least a year, but if you are a smoker, and you are forbidden to taste cigarette in your tongue just in two days, it feels like a hell. Basically, we know exactly that smoking is very bad for everyone such as for the active smoker, passive smoker, the environment and our "pocket". Unfortunately, there are many things that can be answered with logical thinking, including this.
Fortunately, in these days, technology has given us many benefits to make our life easier and more enjoyable, including the smoking activity. Traditional cigarette only makes smoker become public enemy due to the bad odor from cigarette, annoying fume or bad breath. The existence of electronic cigarette, or it is usually called as e-cigarette, has become the angel's wings for the smoker. The thing that you can find at http://unhookecigs.com/ allows smoker to have healthier habit without taking away the pleasure of the smoking. Besides, the electronic cigarette does not release dangerous fume which can endanger the life of people around the smoker. Smoker can enjoy the electronic cigarette wherever and whenever they like, indoor or outdoor. Since it has no fume and bad odor, it will not make anyone leave you behind just because you smell so bad.
When it comes to the price, at a glance, the electronic cigarette sounds so expensive, but it is not. If you have leisure time and start counting the money that you have spent for buying the traditional cigarette, you will find that this electronic cigarette has given you much more money to save. The gap between budget to but traditional cigarette and electronic cigarette can be seen clearly if you are a heavy smoker. If your wife knows this, she will be very happy economically.
