Why is politically correct asshole Bill O'Reilly bashing on Kimbo Slice for being black?
oh, it's beacause people like Bill will try any half assed arguement to mask their racism, like he does with hispanics and arabs.
I saw an interview with kimbo, and he seems like a pretty smart, decent, hard working guy.

Kimbo's whole persona is based on careful marketing, (why else would an amatur-level/low-level professional fighter like him be headlining events?) and instead of attacking the sport as a whole, people like O'Reilly use him to attack the sport. It's pretty easy, too. He's a scary looking black man who got famous fighting in parking lots and backyards.

This just makes me wonder: what if Kimbo loses. I mean EXC, whose entire marketing of this fight is resting on Kimbo, hardly mentions James' name in the adverts. So if James won, I can imagine the John Q. Public wonder "Who the heck is this James guy? Isn't Kimbo supposed to win or something?" It just seems to me they are putting a lot on Kimbo's shoulders and should he not win, then wth is EXC going to do?
This reminds me of something about eggs and a basket.....

While I respect Kimbo's dedication and training and hope he does well, this article makes a very valid point. He hasn't accomplished a single damn thing to warrant the hype.
And that building your brand around him as EliteXC is doing is very risky, he'll either live up to the hype or be a sever disappointment when he finally fights someone in the top 30 for heavy weights.
Also I think Elite is kind of hopping that the noob MMA fans will keep supporting Kimbo with out having to give him real competition.
At some point though some the people will want to see Kimbo VS a well known free agent, like Tim Sylvia, Monson, Arlovski or something, and frankly he'll be destroyed so quickly it will hurt them.
I think EliteXC will be the Arena football league to the UFC as NFL.

The street argument is retarded. BJJ is so much overkill for the street that its ridiculous. Unless you're the idiot that picks a fight with the high school wrestling team, barring knife or gun play, the opponent shouldn't make it past double leg + ground and pound - Osiris

As someone above mentioned conservatives, I wanted to point out that Bill O'Reilly is much more a populist with some conservative views than an actual conservative. He's more the type to see himself as a tribune for the common man than have a coherent conservative philosophy.
On topic, I'm interested to see Kimbo's fight and to see if free, network tv MMA can take off.

Hayes next target as quest for reinforcements goes on
Posted: February 17, 2011|
PAUL Hayes is set to become Derby County's second loan signing in a matter of days.
The 27-year-old striker could arrive from Preston North End in time for Saturday's game against Scunthorpe United, his former club.
Hayes joined Preston on a free from Scunthorpe in the summer and had a loan spell at Barnsley earlier this season. He has scored three goals in 17 appearances for Preston but was part of a prolific partnership with Gary Hooper at Scunthorpe.
Striker Jamie Ward from Sheffield United and Liverpool defender Daniel Ayala have already joined Derby on loan until the end of the season. But the Rams are continuing their search to bolster the squad.
"We are waiting for decisions on two or three other players," said Rams manager Nigel Clough. "Ideally, we would like another centre half, maybe even one that can cover us at full-back as well.
"We would also like another striker and if there is the right sort of midfielder available, we will take them as well. We have asked about a couple of midfielders."
Derby currently have three players on loan in Ward, Ayala and Alberto Bueno, who is on a season-long stay from Real Valladolid.

On the 150th anniversary of the Gettysburg Address, an East Tennessee judge and historian is releasing a book that details the significance of President Lincoln's famous speech.
Judge James Cotton's book, "The Greatest Speech Ever", hit bookshelves Tuesday.
Cotton's book analyzes the impact President Lincoln's speech made on America, and how his life shaped him as president. He said it's a story of perseverance, and one that shows what the president had to overcome, and how he kept the country intact.
"Lincoln knew we would come out of the Civil War in one piece or we would fly apart. That's really the significance of today because we would not be here today. I think it's fair to say had Lincoln not been re-elected in 1864, there would be no America at least no America as we know it today," said Cotton.
In the book, Cotton details why the speech is a moment of American exceptionalism. He says some of Lincoln's words are still relevant today.
Judge James L. Cotton's book "The Best Speech, Ever" is released on November 19th, 150 years to the day of Abraham Lincoln's famous Gettysburg Address.

A group of Arizonans in Pima County, which is a relatively blue slice of a rather red state, are pushing to break away from Arizona and form their own state. This unusual (though not unprecedented) move would actually come with a lot of rewards. From KGUN9 via Ben Smith:
One group is so fed up with Arizona politics they want to break away and form a brand new state. "Start Our State," a new Pima County political committee, hopes to bring the initiative to voters in 2012.
Co-founders Peter Hormel and Paul Eckerstrom say the governor's Federal lawsuit over immigration and new bills proposing to nullify Federal law are what sent their opinions over the edge.
He says with Pima County's size and population, they could pull it off. Pima County has more square miles than New Jersey, Connecticut, Delaware and Rhode Island. It has more people than Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Vermont, Delaware and Alaska.
While the project is probably an extreme long shot at best, I'm surprised the general idea isn't far more common in parts of large states, given the potential upsides inherent in the design of our Constitution.
After all, most of our states, especially the western ones, have little reason to be the shape they are besides what is basically historical accident. They often don't follow natural borders, population centers, long established ethnic lines, or linguistic divides.
There is precedent for part of a larger state breaking away to form a new one. For Example, West Virginia broke away from Virginia at the start of the Civil War, and Maine was part of Massachusetts until 1820, when it become its own state.
Rewards for being a breakaway state are huge
There is basically little downside to being a small state, but the benefits are great. Because our highly unrepresentative Constitution gives every state, no matter how small, two United States senators, as a voter in the new state of Pima, your vote in the Senate would instantly be worth about six times what it was as citizen of Arizona! As a result of disproportionately more power in the Senate, Pima would likely get many more billions in federal money. In addition, due to the design of the electoral college, their vote for president would be worth more than twice what it currently is.
There is also the benefit of living in a state where the state government and federal representatives are more likely to to be focused on your parochial concerns and aligned with your ideology. A serious issue as the rural/urban divide in voting patterns increases.
Breakaway states might be the only path to Senate reform
While the status quo bias is extremely strong against such things, it would be interesting if this effort succeeded in Pima and regions in other states, seeing the big rewards, followed suit–like Southern Florida, Austin, Texas, Inland California, and Western Oregon.
While highly improbable, I suspect a series of breakaway states rapidly changing the Senate size and balance of power is sadly one of the most likely ways to reform our highly unrepresentative Senate. Short of some huge shock that starts undermining the Senate power of the small states, I can't see three-quarters of the states ever approving a Constitutional amendment to change the Senate.

Scott F. Gilbert, PhD, the Howard A. Schneiderman Professor of Biology at Swarthmore College presents the lecture, "Wonder and the Need for Alliances of Science and Religion" on Monday, February 27, 2014 at 7 p.m.
at the Commonwealth Chateau, SugarLoaf Hill campus. This lecture is sponsored by the Institute for Religion and Science at Chestnut Hill College.
The scientific and religious worldviews are both predicated on the experience of wonder. Indeed, in preserving wonder, science and religion actually help maintain each other. Science and religion, then, need to be allies in preserving sources of
natural wonder. As long as science and religion are kept apart, profit-motive will triumph. Interestingly, both science and religion are changing in ways that

Ryan Gander: Locked Room Scenario
My encounter with Gander's Locked Room Scenario started with receiving a mysterious text in the afternoon from someone called Spencer, whose number was later unavailable. Throughout the exhibition, situated in an old warehouse, Gander encourages you to take on a investigative role to question the scenario and deduce what has happened. You are never sure if what you are viewing is actually art or just things left behind by old inhabitants, remnants of someone's McDonald's takeaway or bits of discarded furniture.
Gander has weaved a narrative about a fictitious exhibition in this labyrinthine environment of fake corridors, and locked rooms, which leave you irrationally curious to want to see and venture beyond. Simple psychology really; the grass is always greener, and being outside a locked room is always intriguing.
It's also interesting to see how far you will buy into the authenticity of something presented as "art" when framed in the right context. A gallery plaque, an accompanying press release, immediately lends a scene weight and makes it feel "real."
Locked Room Scenario is commissioned and produced by Artangel. It runs until October 23.

What is food allergy?
A food allergy is an abnormal response of the body to a certain food. It is important to know that this is different than a food intolerance, which does not affect the immune system, although some of the same signs may be present.
What causes food allergy?
Before having a food allergy reaction, a sensitive person must be exposed to the food at least once before. It is the second time the person eats the food that the allergic symptoms happen. At that time, when IgE (Immunoglobulin E) antibodies react with the food, histamines are released, which can cause hives, asthma, itching in the mouth, trouble breathing, stomach pains, vomiting, or diarrhea.
What is the difference between food allergy and food intolerance?
Food allergy causes an immune system response, causing symptoms that range from uncomfortable to life-threatening. Food intolerance does not effect the immune system, although some symptoms may be the same as in food allergy.
What foods most often cause food allergy?
Approximately 90 percent of all food allergies are caused by eight foods:
Tree nuts
Eggs, milk, and peanuts are the most common causes of food allergies in children, with wheat, soy, and tree nuts also included. Peanuts, nuts, fish, and shellfish commonly cause the most severe reactions. Nearly 5 percent of children under age 5 years, and 18 percent under age 18, have food allergies. Although many children "outgrow" their allergies, allergy to peanuts, tree nuts, fish, and shellfish may be lifelong.
What are the symptoms of food allergy?
Allergic symptoms may begin within minutes to an hour after ingesting the food. Symptoms may include:
Itching or swelling of the lips, tongue, or mouth
Itching or tightness in the throat
Difficulty breathing
Lowered blood pressure
According to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, it does not take much of the food to cause a severe reaction in highly allergic people. In fact, as little as 1/44,000 of a peanut kernel can cause an allergic reaction for severely allergic individuals.
Treatment for a food allergy in adults
Specific treatment for food allergy will be determined by your physician based on:
Your age, overall health, and medical history
Extent of the disease
Your tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
Expectations for the course of the disease
Your opinion or preference
At this time, no medication is available to prevent food allergy. The goal of treatment is to avoid the food that causes the symptoms.
If you have a food allergy, you should carry, and know how to administer, injectable epinephrine to treat emergency reactions. People with food allergy must be prepared to treat any accidental ingestion of the foods that cause the allergic reaction. Discuss this further with your physician.
There are medications available to treat some symptoms of food allergy after the food has been eaten. These medications may relieve rhinitis symptoms, gastrointestinal symptoms, or asthma symptoms. Discuss this further with your physician.
Although research is ongoing, currently, there is no allergy injection treatment approved for the treatment of food allergies. Strictly avoiding the allergy-causing food is the only way to prevent a reaction.
Treatment of food allergies in children
After seeing a physician and identifying the foods to which your child is allergic, it is very important to avoid these foods and other similar foods in that food group. If you are breastfeeding your child, it is important to avoid foods in your diet to which your child is allergic. Small amounts of the food allergen may go to your child through the breast milk and cause a reaction.
It is also important to give vitamins and minerals to your child if he/she is unable to eat certain foods. Discuss this further with your physician.
For children who have had an allergic reaction to a food, your physician may prescribe an emergency kit that contains epinephrine, which helps stop the symptoms of severe reactions. Discuss this further with your physician.

Some part of me thinks that world events should be reflected in comic books. Yes, they do age the comic but shouldn't we see how they would deal with it?! I mean Watchmen dealt with the events of the Cold War yet it doesn't age it, in fact its a great commentary of that time and the superhero tropes. Same with The Dark Knight Returns, we are seeing a great commentary of the 80s and the Regan era, does it age it absolutely not.
I would really love for comic to deal with what's happening in the Ukraine, Venezuela, NSA and the LGQT rights but they're coming too commericalised and mainstream that we won't see another Watchmen and The Dark Knight Returns!
