Just a few weeks after letting the world know his UFC deal had expired, Chael Sonnen has a new contract. And a new training base. And perhaps a return to his former weight class.
The two-time middleweight title challenger and recent light heavyweight title challenger on Tuesday revealed via his co-hosting chair on "UFC Tonight" on FUEL TV that he has signed a new five-fight deal with the promotion.
Sonnen (27-13-1 MMA, 6-6 UFC) returns to action next month when he headlines UFC Fight Night 26 (formerly UFC on FOX Sports 1 1) against Mauricio Rua at TD Garden in Boston.
Earlier this month at a fan Q&A session at the UFC Fan Expo, part of UFC 162 in Las Vegas, Sonnen said his deal was up.
"My contract with the UFC has expired," Sonnen said at Mandalay Bay Convention Center. "So I went to Dana White, and I went to him with a list of my demands because he's getting my contract together. He thought this was a gag, but I was being serious because it's not all about money with me."
But Sonnen, known for a certain level of playfulness in his interviews that often causes eyebrows to be raised wondering about his comments' legitimacy, left the crowd wondering if he really did need to sign a new deal – or if he was just in character.
Part of the demands he told the Fan Expo crowd was part of his conversation with White included the keys to White's "least favorite Ferrari. … See, I'm not all about money, people. There's more to these contracts. They're very sophisticated."
But apparently the contract situation was legit – and so, too, is Sonnen's preparation for Rua. He also revealed on Tuesday night that he has moved his training camp to California, where he'll be training at Reign MMA under head coach Mark Munoz. After his fight against "Shogun" in Boston, Sonnen said on "UFC Tonight" he plans to return to middleweight.
Sonnen in April at UFC 159 was stopped in the first round by Jon Jones in a light heavyweight title fight that came on the heels of the two coaching opposite each other on Season 17 of "The Ultimate Fighter" on FX. It was the second straight title fight for Sonnen, who at UFC 148 in July 2012 lost his rematch to middleweight champ Anderson Silva in Las Vegas.
For the latest on UFC Fight Night 26, stay tuned to the UFC Rumors section of the site.

Assocham`s 5-pt strategy for Indian eco
New Delhi: Industry body Assocham Sunday came out with a five-point strategy focusing on infrastructure, good governance and education to transform India into a developed economy.
"Assocham suggests the government of India look into and follow these five strategies to put a step in the right direction for transforming India into a developed economy," the chamber said in a statement here.
The government should take more concrete steps to ensure that we achieve 100 per cent literacy by the end of next decade, it said. The average literacy rate is 64 percent.
In addition, it said the government should stress on effective human resource developments through vocational education and training initiatives to enhance the job prospects of the youth.
It said that good governance, which is about effective decision-making at all the levels, "is a must to enable every sector and the only way to effectively deal with evils like illiteracy, poverty, malnutrition and law and order problems".
The chamber also suggested the use of labour intensive technology for production rather than capital-intensive techniques, as the former methodology increases employment opportunities.
The government should also promote the small and medium enterprises sector, as it contributes 90 percent to the Indian economy`s output, it said.
Besides, IT, the government should also focus on areas like the trading, wholesale and retail sector, which offer tremendous employment opportunities and can make a huge contribution to the economy.
It further said, "Infrastructure is a sector which requires serious attention and needs constant funding of 5-7 percent of the GDP."

Hollywood is missing 30,300 people. Antonio Villaraigosa's "elegant density" plan says they'll appear
New, improved Hollywood Boulevard
Los Angeles City Hall produces padded "population growth estimates" for L.A., an over-jammed city now driving away more humans than it attracts. Now, Antonio Villaraigosa and Deputy Mayor Austin Beutner are using the junk data to further remake Hollywood.
City planners (a silly term) insisted that from 1990 to 2010, 43,000 new residents would move to Hollywood. But only 12,700 net new people chose ugly, overbuilt, Hollywood and its crowded streets beyond the clubs. Now, says ex-planner Dick Platkin, Villaraogosa's guys have a new plan to dramatically boost Hollywood density.
But oops, its based on housing the missing 30,300 who didn't show -- and aren't coming.
New 2010 Census figures and detailed population data show Los Angeles grew by only 148,899 people in the last decade -- very close to Austin, Texas, which added 138,978. Far more people moved to Phoenix, Fort Worth and San Antonio than to over-packed L.A.
Now, Platkin explains over at ronkayela.com, a great City Hall watchdog site, that new Community Plans are getting shoved down the throats of Hollywood and also Granada Hills residents -- based entirely on the ancient junk data from 1990.
Platkin calls the amateurish lack of serious planning "baffling" and explains:
... the original data base for the General Plan Framework, 1990 census data, will be extrapolated 40 years into the future to determine the growth trends, infrastructure needs, and implementation programs required for such dynamic Los Angeles communities as Hollywood
Doesn't Los Angeles already have enough depressing, empty new apartment complexes and luxury condo towers nobody wants to live in, not only in Hollywood but in the San Fernando Valley's Warner Center, and in Downtown, and pretty much all over?
One example: The sadsack "Ritz-Carlton Residences" downtown, only a few dozen of which anyone bought.
One interesting rumor among developers is that Ritz-Carlton Residences' owner still has to "finish out" the luxury baths and kitchens and everything else in its vast, empty inventory-- believed to be more than 175 of the 224 condo units.
It would seem kind of creepy to live in that $1 billion tower, with its empty, luxury, urban "homes" creating an abandoned, post-apocalyptic feel.
Maybe Villaraigosa, Beutner and the city planners should start basing their grand redevelopment and "elegant density" visions of the city's neighborhoods on the departure, not the arrival, scenario.

Stacey R. Campbell Releases New Pirate Adventure 'Arrgh!'
by BWW News Desk - Jun 8, 2015
Green Darner Press announced today that Stacey R. Campbell's Middle Grade pirate adventure tale, 'Arrgh!,' has received the Mom's Choice Award (Gold Medal) for excellence in family-friendly media. 'Arrgh!' certainly deserves this award,' said Kari Hock of Green Darner Press. 'Kids just love this book. Stacey Campbell is one of the hardest-working and nicest writers we've ever worked with.' The Mom's Choice Award website states that the organization's judges score books on a number of criteria including 'products that help families grow emotionally, physically and spiritually...and are inspirational and uplifting.' 'Arrgh!' follows the adventures of a runaway orphan boy named Christopher who gets captured by pirates posing as seamen, and kidnapped onto a merchant galleon that the villains plan to plunder. Forced to pretend that he cannot speak, Christopher finds he can communicate in private with a highly skilled mouse who offers to teach him 'Five Life Lessons.' The Captain's daughter soon learns his secret and together they hatch a counter-plot against the pirates. Campbell is also the author of The Lakeview Novel Series (Young Adult): Hush,' 'Whisper' and the e-novelette, 'Silence.' A third novel, 'Scream,' is due this Fall, and 'Hush' has been optioned for a film. The prolific writer lives in the Seattle area with her husband and three daughters. Marlan Warren (MW), blogger for Roadmap Girl's Book Buzz, recently sat down with Campbell (SRC) to discuss 'Arrgh!' in an exclusive interview. Here are some excerpts: MW: What was your reaction when you found out about the award? SRC: Very excited. Writing a book is like riding a road bike down a bumpy gravel hill. There are pitfalls and distractions everywhere. Getting this Mom's Choice award made me feel like I not only survived the ride, but I rocked the trail, making every scrape worth getting on the bicycle in the first place. MW: Why do you think young readers enjoy pirate stories so much? SRC: Wherever there are pirates, there is action, suspense, a little bloodshed, and a lot of fun. Pirates have been so fictionalized that authors can take a lot of liberties with their characters. They are visual treasure troves for imagination. MW: Why do you thank your father in the book's Dedication? SRC: Every summer on our sailboat my father would tuck me in and tell me stories about a young Norwegian orphan boy who had been kidnapped by pirates and his best friend-a talking mouse. I promised myself that someday I would write them down so that they would live on forever. MW: In the Acknowledgments, you say this book 'has been a seven-year battle of Swords, wills, patience, and persistence.' Details, please? SRC: The first draft took three years to write and was called 'Shanghaied.' I received 29 rejection letters. Heartbroken, I shelved it. When Green Darner Press began publishing my Lakeview novels, the publisher Kari Hock asked to see my 'pirate story.' I re-read the manuscript and discovered the 29 agents were right; so I rewrote and renamed it 'Arrgh!' and my publisher loved it. MW: Are the 'Five Life Lessons' ones you've learned? SRC: I learned them in my own life, and they are my parenting fundamentals: Lesson 1: Know your surroundings. Nothing is more important than education. Lesson Two: Patience. This is the hardest lesson of all and the one I still struggle with daily. Lesson Three: Honesty is always the best policy. Lesson Four: The only thing to fear is fear itself. Face the unknown. Don't let fear stand in the way of accomplishment. We only grow as individuals when we face our challenges head on. Lesson Five: Family is the greatest treasure. Family is not just a blood connection it is a soul connection. Home is a feeling of belonging, deep understanding and unconditional love. MW: What is your favorite reader reaction? SRC: I have dyslexia, so my favorite reactions are from readers who have a learning disability telling me that I have inspired them. If I can get that one kid, like me, who struggled to open a book and enjoy reading, I feel like I'm on top of the world. MW: You've been presenting pirate workshops in connection with 'Arrgh!' Where will you be next? SRC: I'll be at Wedgewood Elementary in Seattle on Wed., June 10. My main goal is to engage the students so they learn without knowing they are learning. I have several different slideshows I use depending on age and grade. For younger kids, I start with pirate jokes, and teach them 'how to talk like a pirate' before I move on to lessons about setting and character. I talk to older students about what it takes to become a writer-and what it's like to be a dyslexic writer. There's no such thing as a bad reader.

Ron Glick Releases New Fantasy Series
by BWW News Desk - Jun 22, 2015
Visit ronglick.com for contact details, review copies, photos, and an author bio. Ron Glick's Epic Fantasy Series Creates New Impact. 'Three' in Print and Kindle Format. Third Book in the Godslayer Cycle Releases on July 1, 2015. Ron Glick made his debut into fantasy fiction in 2011 with the publication of 'One,' the first volume of the Godslayer Cycle. Since then, Ron has proven himself a diverse voice in literature with 'The Oz-Wonderland' and 'Chaos Rising series,' a dozen volumes of Ron El's Comic Book Trivia, and even a political expose about corruption in Montana, 'U.S. Political Prisoner Since 2004.' Now, Ron returns to the series that started it all for the third installment in his nine volume epic destined to redefine divinity within fantasy fiction, 'Three.' In the Godslayer Cycle, two rival groups of Gods - The Pantheon and the New Order - vie for the faith of mortal souls throughout the world of Na'Ril. With the eldest group on the verge of extinction, nine mystical Swords capable of slaying Gods are created, but lost within the mortal realm. Nathaniel Goodsmith is selected as the Avatar of the Pantheon to seek out the Swords and use them on their rivals before the New Order can discover their purpose. In 'Three,' Nathaniel has returned home to await the awakening of the third sword, but he is shocked to find the third sword following him there. But this sword is unlike any of the others that have come before. Three is not a sword that controls perception or elemental power, but instead gives its wielder mastery over time itself. What better way to destroy a Godslayer than to send him to a time before he ever was one? And without the Godslayer in the present, who can possibly stand against a conspiracy of immortals seeking revenge against their errant parents, the Gods themselves? 'Highly engaging and engrossing, with interesting and believable characters...' - Kyra Dune, on 'One' 'This tale is woven with the matrix of mystery, myth, magic and mayhem and I loved every minute of it, being hooked from the start.' - Julie Elizabeth Powell, on 'Two' Ron Glick (born January 20, 1969) is a community activist, and is presently active in several charitable enterprises. He was born in Plainville, KS. After living in various states, he currently lives in Kalispell, MT. He is the author of 'The Godslayer Cycle,' 'Chaos Rising,' 'The Oz-Wonderland series,' and Ron El's 'Comic Book Trivia,' as well as having written a screenplay adaptation of 'The Wizard In Wonderland.' Additionally, he created the Golden Age Preservation Project as a means of making Golden Age comics more accessible to modern audiences. His expose, 'U.S. Political Prisoner Since 2004,' broke him away from his fictional works to shed light upon political corruption in Montana.

Designed to spark the mind and ignite individually useless snippets of experience, more and more, Innes argues that words have become the limiting, self-constructed bars to an asphyxiating, fireproof jail of social tyranny.

Pa. man arrested for 'US Enforcement Officers' ID
Also called 911 after encounter with motorist, identified self as federal 'off-duty enforcement officer'
By Michael Hinkelman
The Philadelphia Daily News
CHESTER COUNTY, Pa. — On April 9, a Coatesville man called a 911 operator in Chester County and identified himself as a federal "off-duty enforcement officer." According to a federal arrest affidavit, Eric Marques Devlin-Bell, 21, told the operator he had been driving a dark-blue, Crown Victoria "police cruiser" when he caught up with a motorist in a black Jaguar who had been speeding in excess of 100 mph on Route 202 south in Tredyffrin Township.
When the 911 operator inquired if there had been any confrontation with the motorist, Bell said he had showed the driver "my badge" and was being cooperative.

As it has been a discussion before I thought you guys might want to see what the ordinance will actually look like. Performers have been working as best we can with Fremont to come to a system that works for is all and while it will be a big change, we are confident this will help clean up Fremont St. Also, not a half bad picture of me doing my cups routine.

!@#$ that. The only good regulation is no regulation.
It's better to let the streets be the free open streets.

I read the comments at the end of the article. there seems to be a population of people who still pool street performers together with the drunks and other street weirdos. that's one of the problems right there and maybe the performers are to blame. if the public is not on your side there's definitely an issue.
there would not need to be regulations if the existing performers were respectful to themselves and the public, and followed simple street guidelines.

It's not performers who dpn't. It's homeless people who rent a tipped up spider man costume and the guy who decides to put on a thong and pose for pictures to make a quick buck. Not to mention loud bucket drummers and messy palm leaf twisters. Real performers can't be seen or heard. This new ordinance will certainly level the playing field.

Some people enjoy the bucket drummers and palm leaf twisters. I was just in Vegas a few days ago and saw more crowds gathered around the musicians (ranging from bucket drummers to techno artists) than most other acts. I didn't encounter any street magicians, yet this is not uncommon for some reason.
I would suggest to a street performer who is annoyed by the lack of street professionals who may impede on the performance of a "real performer" to take your act to a venue where YOU are the sole attraction.

Rockys got a point. if a bucket performer has real skill and charisma, hes gonna build a massive crowd. cant blame the guy
i personally avoid vegas because its a very particular pitch that would not work for my kind of act. it seems to be strictly a fast paced 10 minute show kind of pitch.

Rocky, the major issue with the bucket drummers in particular is that they have no noise restrictions which gives them an unfair advantage on the street as a magician has to be within a certain volume range. Palm twisters are illegally selling their products, this is not free speech. It is not busking.

If a person is going to perform on the streets then he/she had better realize that there are no restrictions on many issues a performer will encounter. If its not the loud drummer that impedes your performance then it will be the weather. If it's not the weather its a heckler. If its not a heckler its the magician down the street who has a better cup and ball routine. The bottom line is this...if the noise a bucket drummer is making sucks, people wont stop and listen. If its done well and the noise impedes your performance then move.If someone is selling an illegal product, let the police worry about it (the LAPD didn't care as I saw at least 5 palm twisters in a one hour period and police were EVERYWHERE). Its the street my friend. The only advantage is having the skill AND intelligence to make the street a successful performance venue.

Rocky, you seem to have a misunderstanding about what I'm saying. Anyone with a sound system is legally bound to not have their system over a certain decibal level (70 decibals at 50 feet). I have had a friend who was arrested for this. A bucket drummer on the other hand can play at more than a hundred decibals to the point where they can be heard for 100 yards in each direction and the police can do nothing about it. This new ordinance gives the same maximum volume as a dancer, magician, or contortioniast can have their sound system at.

Then start yelling into a bucket.
Don't bring regulations down on other performers because they have a way of being legally louder than you.
It's the free market. If you can't compete with the noise of a bucket drummer, learn to drum buckets better than him.
Having pigs shut down other people because it's not fair is just asking for your own trouble later.

Bangladesh Garment Workers Walk Out on Poor Factory Conditions
Watch A Demand for Better Conditions From Bangladeshi Workers on PBS. See more from PBS NewsHour.
Nearly a month after a garment factory collapse killed over 1,000 workers in Bangladesh, some workers are now walking off the job to protest dangerous working conditions.
In the town of Ashulia, home to scores of clothing factories, more than 20 factories have closed because of unrest.
"We're not safe," said one protester, "and that's why we decided to come out."
These factories make clothing for some of the world's best known brands, including its largest customer, Swedish retail giant H&M. Pressure from these companies keeps workers' wages in Bangladesh low. The minimum wage in the garment industry there is around $40 a month, the lowest in the world.
"Our main problem is salary, very, very less," he said. "Everything we buy, expensive. So, the money, pay not enough."
After the collapse, public pressure forced retailers to respond to allegations of poor wages and working conditions. Earlier this month, H&M joined other multinationals in signing up to a new agreement on fire and building safety. However, until the rules of the industry change, conditions for workers are not likely to get better.
"So, many competition here. Our neighbor country, India, we already lost so many orders. And those orders, they are going to India. That's why we can't increase our salaries, as are expected, as there are expectations," Mohammad Islam, factory manager.
Warm up questions
1. Take a look at the tag of your shirt. Where was it made? If the country is not the United States, what do you know about this country?
2. Where is Bangladesh located?
3. What do you know about the country of Bangladesh?
4. What are labor laws?
Discussion questions
1. What do you consider to be basic standards regarding factory working conditions?
2. Do you think there should be worldwide standards for garment factories? Discuss.
3. How much more would you be willing to pay for high factory standards? $2 per article of clothing, $5, $10, $20 ?
4. Should companies be expected to invest their own money to insure that basic standards are met in their factories, or should the governments of the countries be responsible for enforcing higher standards? Why or why not?
5. Do you think the building's owners should be punished? Why or why not?
6. Why do think some American companies have moved production sites overseas?
7. Having watched this story, what else do you want to know about how your clothing is produced?

DonnasBookshelfTennesseeAge: 55-65Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5A wondrous surprise!August 16, 2014DonnasBookshelfTennesseeAge: 55-65Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5Naomi
This special novella focuses on Naomi King.
I didnt really notice her much until she began talking to Luke, bringing him lunch and if she werent Amish, Id say she was flirting with disaster ha!
But she couldnt see that everyone thought she was behaving badly making a spectacle of herself by flirting with Luke in front of the whole church district
No one can say she didnt try her best to convince Luke to court her even when Luke tried to tell her she was wasting her time, she refused to listen even to him!
Eventually, after Luke finally convinces Naomi that her feelings will never be returned and he has feelings for Sarah, Timothy notices her and begins thinking she might just suit him after all.
So she gets involved with Timothy I can tell that Naomi has grown up a bit and she really tries to act properly, but she really gets hurt by Timothy, who still loves Miriam, but thinks its hopeless and convinces himself that he should marry Naomi.
Talk about a mess!
To be fair, Timothy often feels that hes being unkind to not share his true feelings with Naomi, but every time he tries, something stops him. Thankfully, Naomi finally realizes how he feels and she ends the relationship.
So now shes stopped trying altogether! Shes made such a mess, she thinks she will be better off staying at home and helping out with her 8 younger brothers and sisters.
I like Naomi so much more in Naomis Gift and when Caleb and Susie begin to care for her, I cheered!
Now if only Caleb and Susie can convince his sister to stop interfering and convince Naomis mother that their feelings are true!
Amy Clipston does an awesome job of showing how Naomi has grown and matured, especially when Sadie, Irene and Irma treat her poorly. I enjoyed every moment of this novella and cant wait until the next story, hoping to hear what happens to Naomi, as well as the main characters in the story!
If youve been reading this series, Im certain youll enjoy Naomis Gift as much as I have. If you havent read it yet, be sure to get it and dont wait until Christmas to read it!

The e-reader copy however was not transcribed correctly as many places in the book, especially towards the end of the book, were double worded, leaving out the correct word(s) in the sentence thereby the reader had to supply their own words for the sentence be logical. This is the first e-reader book that has not downloaded correctly.

Phil, yet another excellent article. "Fringe" guys don't get any run on any of the networks, so I love the fact that you're going out of your way to represent them, and everything they endure to try and achieve their dream.
Yet another example of perspective you just can't find anywhere else on the interwebs.
Great to be with you for another season.
In regards to the Bills and "fringe" guys, figured you'd mention a local product (like yourself)...Naaman Roosevelt, who was injured in the preseason and a logjam at WR. Teams work is a major factor for the guys on the fringe and Roosevelt lacked the speed and toughness in that area. But he has the makings of a solid possession receiver.
Didn't make the 53, did not sign to the practice squad initially, but did later this week, to the approval of Bills fans who love a local product made good. I expect him to be the first receiver activated in the event of injury. "Caught everything" was the description from training camp and the first 2 preseason games prior to getting hurt. This was a continuation from the rookie season in '10: appeared in 6 games, 9 Rec. for 139 yds. with at least a few of those 3rd down conversions, as I recall.
2011 Bills receiving corps is a no-name bunch, but Naaman Roosevelt will make a name for himself soon enough.
A perfect example of a fringe player "never losing the chip on his shoulder" is James "the silverback" Harrison. We cut him twice, the ravens cut him once before he finally stuck with us and prompted us to cut a multi pro bowler, in joey porter. Smart move. Harrison has not disappointed since. However his eternal chip has parlayed itself into tons of fines, and tons of idiotic statements made in front of a Mic. He's made it! He's a star... Take jay-z's advice and brush your shoulder off! Stay aggressive, just don't try prove every play you belong..
I was a 3rd round pick in '74 with the Bengals. Darryl White was also an All-American guard at Nebraska and was drafted in the 4th round. We had a battle all of camp to make the final roster. I made it. I was euphoric that day in my first NFL practice getting ready for a regular season game. My feet were barely touching the ground. I was husting the whole day, giving it everything I had. At the end of practice my line coach Bill "Tiger" Johnson kept me out for more work. Just Tiger and myself. He made me hit the 7 man sled by myself. He made me pull around cones and hit dummies forever. It lasted for about 1/2 hour. My tongue was dragging. Then he said, "if I ever see you loaf through another practice like you did today I'll cut your ass. Just because you made the final cut doesn't mean I can't cut you tomorrow or any day I feel like it rookie." My head was spinning. Huge reality check. He did me a huge favor. Never take anything for granted in the NFL. Later in my career when we formed a bond I asked Tiger if my practice that day was that bad. He said no that it was excellent but he felt like he needed to test my will and to also send the the message to not take my foot of the gas ever in my NFL career or I would regret it. Lesson learned believe me.
Lawrence's father was a Redskins fan as they lived in Newport News, VA. That was one team you could always expect a little extra from the great LB. He terrorized them and they use to spend a good portion of training camp figuring out how to stop him. Before one game vs. the 'Skins, he walks into the locker room and says, "OK fellas, let see what I can do on 8 hours of sleep"! He had three sacks that day.
Great Points Phil.
I like Cris' attitude that he always played and did TV like he could be fired any moment. I think the best way to keep a job is by having a mental edge. When guys like Ray Lewis can keep playin for so long, they have a mental advantage and their mind is focused. Having the tangibles is Good, but it needs a match with mental preparations and nimbleness. Mind games are constant in the NFL. Ask Bill Belichick about his Injury Report.
