Schools as I said should be made to teach one,the profession, not just an overall generalized formal education. General education from K-8...9-12 all high schools will be career specialized. And I do mean all of them...so this means parents will have to grow their kids up much faster but in many black houses this already happens only difference now would be placing them in a better position for their careers.
Schools should have the following designations...
1.) Engineering/Mathematics/Mechanics
2.) Medicine/Biology/Anatomy/Psychology
3.) Chemistry/Physics/Mechanics
4.) Law/Business/Marketing/Economics
5.) Music/Art/Film/Acting
6.) Political Science/Government/Economics
7.) English/Languages
8.) Journalism/English/Writing
9.) Military/Aviation
These are pretty much all specific enough for many to be better prepared into the profession after college.
Giving them a stronger background. Now for some that still do not know what they wish to do with their lives...you keep only a handful of "General H.S.'s" around...they point being you want to discourage this...and of course these schools would comply directly with State requirements for graduation and such with a regular HS Diploma.
In addition to these core courses at these specialized schools...you have what I call "reality courses" these as well being mandatory classes.
1.) Critical Thinking/Ethics/Morality
2.) Public Speaking
3.) Basic Automotive repair
4.) Effects of Credit/Loans...how these things work
5.) Business Etiquette/Ethics
6.) Sex Education/Health/Fitness/Nutrition
7.) Relationships/Racism/Sexism/ And the ethics involved in them
Athletics will be encouraged and anyone on such team will fill their fitness requirements...but not their sex education/health/nutrition requirements.
All these schools should look like mini-college campuses, especially where space is available. And just like college the students stay on campus and return home only when the semester is over, break them out of the habit of running to mommy or daddy to solve problems. They have to learn how to get along with people, because if they plan to go into the service or college this is going to be necessary, it's vital.
Teachers and administrators would be required to be on campus as well during the semester. So they are becoming one unit, connected by the desire to learn and to aspire to great things. Now this would take some use to more so from the parents than the students...parent would be allowed to visit during specified times...or stop by just like any other college does currently. Students only of same sex will be roommates...male and female dormitories will be on opposite sides of the campus...of course you'd have your Resident Advisor's....
Then people are going to bring up the sex issue between the teens...of course it would not be condoned...room checks will happen randomly...however as a part of teaching them "reality" condoms and contraceptions will be made available...and there will be campus police. Most times nothing will happen, but can't predict everything.

interesting stuff but maybe a lil off topic
Peter the Russian...back like cooked crack
hey hey hey smoke weed every day
I read these posts everyday even though I seldom join in on the action, but I must say that this is the MOST intelligent convo that you cats ever had...
Keep thinking of the masses!!!
All Power to the People!!!
could you post the url to that
Peter the Russian...back like cooked crack
hey hey hey smoke weed every day
what the hell is going in this thread?
I'm Cuban- don't get me started on politics fellas lol
Everyone is droppin jewels here. Nice!
If the convo started with why can't nike make their profits, etc etc. isnt capitlolism good etc etc.
Capitolism also fueled the crack epidemic of the 80's. (Very little goverment help in reducing the amount of drugs entered in the country)
When an entire generation of crack babies, and how devastating it was to poor neighborhoods, the goverment at least started to get more involved in slowing the flow of drugs here.
Capitolism has no morals, its bare essense is to be a hustler. Even if its illegal. Rich capitolists break monopoly and business ethics laws and dont feel an inch of heat.
Goverment has to monitor capitolism simply becuase it knows no bounds, capitlism has great as u may see it, only survives thru exploitation. Its the methods and means of exploitation that shifts. (think of timeline, 1st indians,then slaves, then chinese rail road workers, then south americans, then global labor exploitation.
Mike D'antoni. Atleast hes better than Isiah. I hope.
But ya, nike and jordan should be more socially conscience and not blood sucking greedy $150 wh*res
Mike D'antoni. Atleast hes better than Isiah. I hope.
Still not seeing the fact of socialism or communism being perfect from greed or abuse.
Once again with capitalism it is more possible to gain a lot and coming from nothing. Can't have that under any of the other systems. I still no viable link between capitalism and evil. Because in my view, what I have gone through, people do evil ****, people do evil things, people are greedy. Not an economic system, and economic system is only ran and controlled by the people who run them in the first place.
I don't think people in society who contribute nothing should get anything back from society, I'm not quite sure if it is the job of society to take care of those whom cannot take care of themselves...I'm not saying it would not be a higher cause not to take care of those folks who can't do for themselves...just not sure that it is each citizens responsibility.
Being your brother's keeper is one thing, wiping his ass for him constantly and pulling his weight for him is another.
I think the only people that should benefit from the system are the ones who put into the system. Period. You put in nothing you should get nothing. Just being born in my view doesn't entitle you to anything. Nothing in this world is free, there is always a cost somewhere to someone.
I think society's role should be to educate a person, give them an equal and fair chance...but like life it's chance not a guarantee at success...big difference in my view.
I still think capitalism even with it's cons is a better system than any of the others because one should benefit from their hard work and labor...and be allowed to make as much as they can from their ideas, their work, their discipline, their sacrifices. I should not have to share my success with someone who doesn't do jack ****, or doesn't contribute, or doesn't work as hard as I do.
We all as humans may very well be fundamentally equal, but it's not practical equality. Is the skill of the janitor worth more than the doctor? The skill of the computer programmer worth the same as the customer service agent? The skill of the baker worth more than the skill of the soldier...NO none of them are NOT equal to each other practically, because each has a different functional skill that is worth more than the other depending on the circumstances.
You don't send bakers or programmer's to fight a war...you don't ask janitor to perform heart surgeries, you don't ask English teachers to fix an automobile.
2. We live in a society where markets set the standards, so its ok for A-rod to make 252mil and a social worker/polic officer/nurse/ etc can all make less than 50k a year? plz its pathetic fundamentally and morally. There is no justifying that. Thats the reason why you see soo many inner city kids focusing on playing sports than focus in the classroom, its easier to try and make it in the NBA than to get an education. Again, capitolism sets this mark.
Mike D'antoni. Atleast hes better than Isiah. I hope.
2) So what if A-Rod is making 252 million dollars? How is that his fault?
That teacher making 50,000 a year...let's look at her job...She is paid whether those kids pass or fail regardless. She has the best months off of work...namely, Half of June, ALL July, ALL August, and some of September, in most states...there are no performance bonuses built into her contract.
Because teachers won't allow that...teachers actually having their pay being determined how well their kids do on state exams? Ha...that will cause such an uproar...especially if you got a room full of dumbassess. Then who would she blame if say she is a HS teacher...The JHS they came from? The Elementary? The parents?The students themselves for not being smart enough? Herself for not giving extra help to those who need it? The state for not providing her enough resources? The taxpayers? The community...the dollars the go to each school is determined by the income of the community the school is in...so if School A is producing $5million, and School B producing $2million...school A has a bigger pool of resources. That's how dollars for education are alloted by district. So if you teach in a poor community...you're ****ed. Plain and simple. It's why so many leave the inner city schools because of this formula.
I'm tired of folks blaming capitalism, you know what a teacher's salary is before you even get into the field. Guess what, if it is too low? DON'T WORK IN THAT FIELD. Find something better to do, find a better school to teach at...choose another profession. That's the freedom capitalism allows. When take on a job, and they tell you the salary..YOU ARE AGREEING TO WORK AT THAT NUMBER. If you feel it's underpaid...YOU HAVE THE FREEDOM TO QUIT mostly anytime you wish...**** it no one is going to chase after you saying you must work in this field in this job. It doesn't happen.
I joined the Service, so I can have my college education paid for...after that I took engineering/construction in college...I was more interested in music...but I like money and having more than enough of it to feed and clothe my family. So being good at math and science...I used my most valuable skill...my brain and determined this is what is best economically for myself and my family. That's all...I don't why folks this day and age can't seem to think about the choices they make....
No one owes you anything in this world. It has to be earned. Don't bring morals into this it has nothing to do with it. Absolutely nothing at all. If someone offers me $1 million dollars a year to design a building, and the mailroom clerk is only getting say $24,000 a year...how the **** is that my fault he's only getting 24k?
I put myself into a position to make that kind of money...I don't know what you personally do for a living but if someone offered you a $2 million a year salary...and there is a market base to pay for that...THE FANS...you wouldn't take it based on moral grounds? Give me a break...you'd take that money...and take care of you and yours. End of story. Because that's all that matter's the education.
Athletes you see their ****-ups on the field or arena of play...you don't see that with teachers. She could have 6 classes of 30 students each thats 180...say 150 pass...and 30 fail...and her counterpart has the same amount of students...and only 100 pass...and 80 fail...should they not be paid differently based on performance?
You can't pay teachers all the same amount because you should not...not all of them have the same great teaching skills. You have to weed out the ones who do it for a paycheck and really don't give a **** about teaching. I've had plenty of teachers like that in the NYC public school system....and I've had a handful of great one's and 90% I had them 1 yr in..the next they left to go to the suburbs...they didn't owe me anything than to do their job to the best of their ability. Not everyone is equal, and everyone should not be paid equally. Period.
You don't like what your job is paying you quit, find a better paying one. Period.
The market determines pay as it should..I make a very good living...I'm good at what I do..why should my income be capped because someone else didn't go and get themselves the education necessary and acquire the necessary skills to place them in proper position?
Like I said you fix the education received at the basic levels...but after that there comes a point when you are responsible for you.
The reason why inner city kids focus on sports and not other fields mainly is because, yes the money is obvious but who wouldn't? But 2....the culture. I'm out here in PHX, mostly white kids ask them what they want to do with their lives...you get answers of lawyer, doctor, nurse, cop, scientist...go to the black communities, hispanic communities...you get sports athletes, actors, rappers.......
Why? Because the parents emphasize the wrong ambitions...parents are the reason why the kids gravitate towards those fields 99% have no realistic shot at attaining. A lot of folks don't go to community college even to get better skills, they waste their money on lotto tickets..hoping they'll hit to fix all their problems in one fell swoop.
You have to fix society well before you start screwing with the economic system. Everyone is not equal, so I know I why I believe everyone should not be paid equally.
I was in the Army served in Iraq and Afghanistan, I served for just a little over 5 years...I should have gotten paid more than any teacher anywhere in this country, more than any janitor, more than any engineer...my ass was literally on the line every single say...and not only that I had other people's lives directly in my hands...when I started I was barely making $1,100 a month....I knew the pay was not the reason I was joining...but I'm just making a point...you talk about morality, the person getting shot at in defense of his country for the benefit and security of others in this nation should get paid more than EVERYONE ELSE. REGARDLESS. You teach 8th graders...don't even sit and tell me your job is as dangerous as mine. You pick up trash...give me a break.

There are examples in which u "gain what u earn" the flaw in that statement is that you would be correct if the field was even. What are the foundations of your system and philosophy? Exploitation.
Clearly you dont "gain what u earn" when you create the idea of an inferior race solely for economic reasons. This nation has taken yrs to be "equal" (which unfortunately if you look at it from a means of definition, the utter fact that there needs to be a law in order to uphold a natural given right to be equal than the race who wrote the laws further shows that racism still exists.) If it didnt, there wouldnt be any laws to proctect colored people.
AS a vet, u should have learned that the military isnt about the individual, becuase u chose to join as u said, by joining you are in clear support of ur administrations policy. Maybe u should write a letter to bush to give u a lil bit more piece of their Haliburton Pie. I dont know what ur beliefs are but i dont buy the gotta stay on offense debacle, its been worse than ever, and that was exactly what the goverment wants so that they can continue the infringment of our natural rights in the constitution thru the Patriot Act.
Capitolism breeds ways to exploit that will shock ur imagination and its been done for centuries. Some people notice, some dont.
The system of education we have now is one of the worst in the world. a system that breeds social disorders? Have u looked at the murder rates in this country than others? its nothing to be proud of. Gun rates? highest in the world.
Theres no coincedence that a school in Harlem is in worse shape (whether physically, grades, conduct etc) than a school in Hamptons, LI. And u say equality. U should visit these schools for urself..
Mike D'antoni. Atleast hes better than Isiah. I hope.
Wow, it's been a few days sense I posted on this topic. You guys are covering a variety of issues. All good points. My point was more toward the Starbury vs Nike subject. I fully understand the basic principles of economics, supply and demand and ext, but there's a point when the consumer is being or feels ripped off. Kids typically don't have the intelligence to understand that they are being ripped off any my point is Nike, like the Oil industry is ripping of it's consumers. I understand this is a matter of opinion. I'm not saying that Nike or Oprah shouldn't make a certain amount of money because we live in a free society and you should make as much as you can. The problem as I stated before is capitalism is fueled by greed. The purpose of business is to make money by any means, legal or illegal if you can get away with it. We see this all the time in politics. Nike would love to sell their shoes for $500.00 and they can and should be able to do that. The problem runs so much deeper than Nike. It's subliminal advertising. Nike spends millions a year convincing kids that they must have their product. Here's where the lack of ethics comes in. Nike doesn't give a **** about the poor families that can't afford the product. But they specifically target the lower economical market. Through subliminal ads, these shoe companies create a culture in which kids are social outcasts if they don't have certain things. Cloths, cars, shoes ext. And it's not just Nike. This is a problem through out the country but it hits as specially hard to the inner city. This isn't a problem for any of us I don't think but it hits hard for the less privileged and less educated, which is a huge chunk of America and the world. So what's the answer? Education? But who's education? GiantsKnickFan pointed out that public or as I call it, government education has failed miserably. How do you change a culture? Viacom controls 3/4 of the music outlets which feeds kids B.S. messages and NBA players are young them selves so they are thinking 'I'm just tryin to get paid'. This to me is why I think what Marbury is doing is so important. He's a business man with ethics. He takes a stand where he can make profits and create American jobs. Stephon Marbury is capitalist with a soul which is rare in capitalism.
Ohh cry me a river. I went to PS. 76 MS. 135 Bergtraum HS. Then the US Army...got out then went to Virginia Tech. I have a degree in Mechanical Engineering and B.S. Philosophy. I grew up right there in the Bronx 666 Adee Ave...White Plains Road.
People have the power to make their own choices. Period. Yeah yeah advertisements, advertisements. I go to the store, I need water, I need toilet paper, I need cereal, I need juice, I need underwear..etc..etc. I walk through the aisles...some products cost more than others...also some products are of better quality than others. But I as a consumer can choose which products wish to buy. Period. No one cartoon character, or great thematic song, influences my purchasing habits. I base it off of what I believe is better quality, and a good fair price. Most shoppers shop this way..but you have that few no matter what the price...have to get said product because it is "a name" I grant you that point.
However, if they do not watch their financial bottomline whose fault is that? No one tells you to spend the extra .40cents a roll to get Quilted Northern over Charmin...no one tells you to buy Rocawear jeans at $80 a pair..over say Ralph Lauren that costs $65 bucks a pair. People make choices, and people are responsible for their own choices. Period. It's not the governments job to come in and help folks balance a check book..I would agree it's in government's best interest to show you how to balance a check book....but that's the limit. Once I show you how to do something, I'm taking the training wheels off...how you choose to ride your bike is up to you 100%..and if you fall, after I've made you aware of the dangers...that is your own fault.
My statement was not ignorant it's true. I lived in the projects for 17 years...can't no one tell me anything about life in the projects I lived it...a lot of people there...are there because they made f'd up choices plain and simple. I can recall a handful of older people than me...talking mid-20's whom I say everyday come in and out going to college...most folks in there...don't give a damn...and are only interested in living "ghetto fabulous" period. Some get out, most don't, and you have many who are happy to be there. Yes it does beat living on the street and being homeless but that's not saying much.
People need restraint, but they also need to learn to take responsibility for their own actions. I see society moving away from this, and wanting to constantly blame other people, or systems, or institutions, for their ****ed up decision making. What ever happened to personal responsibility? I mean seriously it's like a dirty concept now, especially in the communities that need more of it...and the greatest area it is needed is the BLACK COMMUNITY. That's a fact. We need to put more foot to ass and draw some lines of what acceptable and what is not.
I never said every single person of color is ignorant or stupid, but ALOT ARE. Stop denying that point. If every single person of color was that smart, alot of them would not be where they currently are in life. So obviously something needs to change. Sure PS.76, MS.135, even Bergtraum being in the financial district and all..was not an equal education to the one say in Larchmont, White Plains, Hartsdale etc...they had better resources than in the inner city. I've already explained how those dollars are calculated...but if you have people dropping out, cutting class...and not even trying to attempt to get and use the education they are getting...it's never going to work.
I don't care how many schools you revamp...how much more you make them more conducive to learning and provide safety, how many great teachers you woo with great salaries and benefits..if you do not have the internal desire to take your ass to class, that's not one's fault but your OWN. PERIOD. My social studies teacher...said something one time...and it's been apart of my life ever since...
"If you fail to prepare, then prepare to fail" and he was a Jamaican emigrant...if the black community continuously fails to adopt this mantra...we will never escape the cycle many of our "lost" one's are in...tough love and compassion is needed YES, but we mustn't forget to hand out strong discipline as well.
The kids don't have the desire is that the parent fault? Is that the rapper's fault? Is that the school's fault? So far pointing all those fingers...the kids are going to have to point them at themselves in the end sum of things. The world is/does not want to hear excuses of why you did not make it...because when you look back on your life only you.
Parents are the first line of defense in their child's future, PERIOD. I take my daughter and nephew to museums, science fairs all the time...most times we are the only black faces...I go take them to see the Suns/Knicks or a Cardinals game...not tons of black faces..but certainly more at those events..something is wrong with that picture! And it should be a great ****ing shame to the black community. We for the most part come from people who endured slavery, that would have died and did die and get beaten for wanting to learn and read a book...any book...and now **** please...parent's don't even bother to read to their children...and don't give their busy at work...I come from a single father household...my father worked 12-16 hr days..and HE WAS A REAL MAN, AND REAL PARENT AND MADE TIME.
I'm just tired of all these EXCUSES, in my people. I really am, and it makes me sick.
As far as the government monitoring is concerned..you people think you really have it bad here? If this government was truly oppressive you would not be here expressing your dissent right now... go to Iraq..Afghan...say something against whomever is in charge see what happens to you...go to China...see if they don't put your nuts in a ringer about voicing a bad opinion about government or Taiwan. People here complain about nothing. I've seen what real oppression looks like first hand, America is nowhere near close to that...people need to really stop exaggerating that point. I tell people, especially civilians all the time...you think you have it that bad here...go overseas and experience it for yourself...and I don't mean France or England...go tour some of the more oppressive countries like Libya..and you tell me how bad you have it here again!

CBNNews.com - JERUSALEM, Israel - With Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert facing the most serious of a long string of criminal investigations, his office announced Wednesday that Israel and Syria have been holding direct negotiations mediated by Turkey.
"Israel and Syria have begun indirect peace talks with the Syrians, under the auspices of Turkey," read a statement from the prime minister's office. "The two sides have declared their intentions to conduct the negotiations in good faith and with openness."
With Olmert's popularity at an all time low, the political right saw the announcement as a ploy to divert attention from the Israel Police National Fraud Unit investigation against him.
"Olmert has proven that he is willing to sell off anything, including the safety of the State of Israel, in order to take the public's mind off the criminal actions he is suspected of," Likud member of Knesset Gilad Erdan told YNet news.
Likud faction chairman Gideon Sa'ar drew the same conclusions.
"Olmert's calculated cynicism when he's gambling Israel's strategic assets for his own political survival knows no bounds," Sa'ar said. "He has no mandate to make any concessions on the Golan Heights," he said.
"The launching of negotiations with Syria prove that the prime minister's investigations have reached a very advanced stage," MK Nissan Slomiansky (National Union/National Religious Party) said.
MK Zevulun Orlev, chairman of NU/NRP, said the link between Olmert's political woes and Wednesday's announcement is undeniable.
"Olmert is trying to save his skin at the Golan's expense, due to the heavy bribery suspicions, while critically hurting the State's security," he said.
"The Syrians and Americans must know that the Israeli prime minister has no moral authority to stay in office and has no legitimization to negotiate the Golan. Any agreement with him has no chance of being approved by the Knesset," he said.
Labor MK Danny Yatom agreed.
"The publication of the negotiations has a clear purpose, aimed at covering up the prime minister's investigations," Yatom said.
"By spreading the new spin on imaginary peace talks with Syria, the prime minister is trying to cynically fool decent, peace-seeking citizens," said MK Shelly Yacimovich (Labor). "His only aim is to divert the attention from his cash envelopes," she said.

Good evening and welcome to Mirror Online's live coverage of UFC on FOX 5, as the world's biggest mixed martial arts organisation puts on a huge show for free TV over in the US.
The event features a battle for the UFC lightweight championship of the world, as 155-pound champion Benson "Smooth" Henderson takes on number one contender Nate Diaz, a submission specialist with superb boxing skills. Their five-round battle will form the main event of the evening.
The co-main event sees a battle for a world title shot, as light-heavyweights Mauricio "Shogun" Rua and Alexander Gustafsson square off with the number one contendership at stake. Brazilian Rua is a former UFC light-heavyweight champion, while Swede Gustafsson is looking to become the first European fighter to become a UFC world champion since Belarus heavyweight Andrei Arlovski held UFC gold back in 2006.
A classic battle between an up-and-coming star and an MMA legend will also feature on the main card, as Canadian sensation Rory MacDonald takes on former two-weight world champion BJ Penn in an eagerly-awaited clash at 170 pounds.
And kicking off proceedings will be another welterweight contest, featuring Matt "The Immortal" Brown and UFC veteran and star of the first-ever season of the UFC's reality show, The Ultimate Fighter, Mike "Quick" Swick.
First up we've got the live prelims, featuring a host of exciting contests to build up to tonight's four-fight main card, which kicks off at 1am.
We've a stacked card of action tonight. Here's the running order on a huge night of MMA action:
Preliminary card (starts at 10:15pm UK time)
- Featherweight: Dennis Siver (Ger) vs Nam Phan (USA)
- Lightweight: Marcus LeVesseur (USA) vs Abel Trujillo (USA)
- Catchweight (158.8lbs): Daron Cruickshank vs Henry Martinez
- Lightweight: Ramsey Nijem (USA) vs Joe Proctor (USA)
- Bantamweight: Raphael Assuncao (Bra) vs Mike Easton (USA)
- Lightweight: Yves Edwards (Bah) vs Jeremy Stephens (USA)
Main card (starts at 1am UK time)
- Welterweight: Mike Swick (USA) vs Matt Brown (USA)
- Welterweight: BJ Penn (USA) vs Rory MacDonald (Can)
- Light-heavyweight: Mauricio Rua (Bra) vs Alexander Gustafsson (Swe)
- UFC lightweight title: Benson Henderson (USA) vs Nate Diaz (USA)
UFC lightweight champion Benson Henderson weighed in under the limit at 154.6lbs, while Nate Diaz tipped the scale at 155.6lbs.
Usually, athletic commissions will allow up to one pound leeway for fighters when making weight, but for world title bouts, competitors are required to adhere to the stated limits.
With Diaz coming in 0.6lbs overweight, he needed two additional attempts to make weight, and was successful at his third visit to the scale, weighing in at an even 155lbs, ensuring the world title bout is official for tonight's main event.
Bout #1: Dennis Siver vs Nam Phan
We're off and underway with the first bout of the evening as former Ultimate Fighter graduate Nam Phan from the US takes on German kickboxer Dennis Siver.
Superb opening round from Siver, who is dominating with his varied striking game. While Phan is looking to strike with his hands, Siver is able to keep the fight at range by using his vast array of kicks, and it's worked a treat.
Scorecard: 10-9 Siver
Another huge round for Siver, who continued to dominate the standup before taking Phan to the mat and unloading a flurry of punishing elbows and punches on the ground. Siver, a former 155-pounder, looks superb at 145lbs tonight, and looks by far the better man in there as we head for the third and final round.
Scorecard: 20-18 Siver
The fight goes the distance, and it's a three-round domination by the German Dennis Siver, who wins all three rounds on my scorecard.
The only discussion to be had is whether any of the judges fancied scoring either Round 2 or Round 3 as a 10-8 round.
I've gone for 10-9 rounds all the way, with Siver taking it 30-27 on my card.
We'll await the judges' decision, but it's a formality.
The judges' scores are in, and Siver wins it 30-24, 30-25 and 30-26. That means one judge awarded three 10-8 rounds to Siver, another judge awarded two and the third just one.
It was a clear domination and Siver moves on as a major contender at the 145-pound weight class.
Looking ahead to tonight's fights, UFC commentator Joe Rogan breaks down the three bouts at the top of tonight's bill:
- UFC lightweight title bout: Benson Henderson vs Nate Diaz
- Light-heavyweight bout: Mauricio "Shogun" Rua vs Alexander Gustafsson
- Welterweight bout: BJ Penn vs Rory MacDonald
Bout #2: Marcus LeVesseur vs Abel Trujillo
Abel Trujillo, from the famed "Blackzilians" team that boasts Rashad Evans and Alistair Overeem, makes his UFC debut against Marcus LeVesseur, who is stepping inside the UFC's Octagon for the third time in his career.
Trujillo is considered a dangerous striker, while LeVesseur comes from an elite wrestling background, going 155 bouts undefeated in his amateur wrestling career, an almost unheard-of statistic.
We'll see a clash of styles in this bout, but who will win, the striker or the grappler? We're about to find out...
We saw just why LeVesseur was such a great wrestler, as he took down Trujillo at will during that round, but he did virtually nothing when he got him up against the cage.
By contrast, Trujillo landed a series of punsihing strikes, including one huge knee as LeVesseur went for a late takedown, and takes the opening round on my scorecard.
Scorecard: 10-9 Trujillo
LeVesseur has looked to do nothing but wrestle, while Trujillo showcased his varied striking skills and submission game in the second round as he dismantled the wrestling prodigy in very impressive fashion.
Trujillo locked in a north-south choke, but couldn't quite close the deal, leading to the fight returning to the standup. Then Trujillo floored LeVesseur again and unloaded a salvo of punishing knees to the body of the helpless wrestler, who was saved by the referee with around one minute of the round remaining.
As UFC debuts go, that was mightily impressive from Abel "The Killer" Trujillo, who wins by TKO in Round 2.
As the broadcast team preview the main event over in the States, here's a quick opportunity for you to check out the official promo for the main portion of the evening, with three world-class contests headlining a stunning main card, which will be shown live on free network television in the US.
Bout #3: Daron Cruickshank vs Henry Martinez
Next up we have a battle between two promising lightweight prospects. Unfortunately the bout is being held at a catchweight due to Martinez missing weight by 2.8lbs at the weigh-ins.
Detroit fighter Cruickshank (who, brilliantly, walked out to Hulk Hogan's theme tune "Real American") impressed hugely in The Ultimate Fighter earlier in the year, and looks the part. But can he get another big win inside the Octagon and move forward in the UFC's lightweight division.
The siren goes to end one of the rounds of the year, as Daron Cruickshank and Henry Martinez served up an incredible five minutes of MMA action.
Cruickshank dominated the exchanges and landed some spectacular - and powerful - strikes on Martinez, who wobbled, winced and wavered, but never went down and stayed down.
Martinez's heart is the only reason he's still going in this fight, but he threw everything he had at Cruickshank in response and remains a factor in this bout.
Scorecard: 10-9 Cruickshank
Daron Cruickshank finishes the fight with an absolutely stunning head-kick knockout on the previously iron-jawed Martinez.
The technique was breathtaking, the power was immense and the moment it landed everybody in the arena knew it was all over.
Cruickshank is a serious talent at 155lbs, and a crowd-pleasing one at that. I can't wait to see him fight again. That was outstanding.
We're only half-way through the prelims and already we've seen some fantastic action.
The US have taken a quick break, presumably to allow everyone to calm down after Daron Cruickshank's breathtaking performance. He walked out to Hulk Hogan's theme tune, then tore the place down with an incredible display of mixed martial arts striking.
And, don't forget, we're not even onto the main card yet!
Bout #4: Ramsey Nijem vs Joe Proctor
Ultimate Fighter finalist Nijem comes into this bout on a two-fight win streak after losing the TUF finale, and has looked more settled as a UFC fighter now he has moved into the lightweight division.
His opponent tonight, another TUF graduate Joe Proctor, has an 8-1 record and is making his first appearance in the Octagon since the TUF finale in June.
Another bout, another breathtaking first round. These fighters really are delivering the goods tonight in Seattle.
Ramsey Nijem looked to be winning the standup battle before being rocked by a big right hand from Proctor, who looked to finish the fight with a guillotine choke.
Nijem survived, and takes Round 1 on my card.
Scorecard: 10-9 Nijem
Much better round for Joe Proctor, who forced Nijem back onto the defensive with an extended period of submission attacks.
The round was much closer, but I've given it to Proctor, taking us into a winner-takes-all final round.
How will it all shake out?
Scorecard: 19-19 EVEN

"America's forests have defined the landscapes of our country's natural beauty for centuries, and protecting them is imperative to preserving our world for future generations. In addition to providing renewable energy, wildlife habitat, soil health, local foods, and water, they purify the air we breathe and support an industry that employs more than one million Americans. Each day, we use a wide range of forest products -- from the wood in our homes to the paper we write on to the packaging that protects our food, medicine, and other goods we rely on. During National Forest Products Week, we recognize the ways in which our Nation's forests contribute to our livelihood and recommit to ensuring their health and stability for centuries to come."
- President Barack Obama
Official Proclamation of National Forest Products Week, 2015
October 16, 2015
Forest products are essential components of modern life. They are made from a renewable resource — trees. They encompass an incredibly wide range of products with nearly limitless everyday uses from facilitating education, communications, hygiene, food storage, and product protection to providing shelter and homes. New and innovative forest products are being developed while constant improvements are made to existing products. AF&PA is proud to represent the paper and wood product manufacturers who create and deliver these products to people across the country and around the world.

Robert Reich: So it must be that he's counting on public pressure — especially from the GOP's patrons on Wall Street and big business — to force Republicans into submission.
Cliff Notes
John Peeler: Speaker Boehner's debacle in failing to get his own caucus to support his "Plan B" is not only his failure, it shows the complete disarray of the congressional Republican Party.
What Republicans Argue When They Have Nothing Left to Say
Robert Reich: It doesn't even matter that the new Republican tax cut plan would probably raise taxes on many lower-income Americans, All that matters is the headlines.
European Debt Crisis: A Problem of Political Will
Iwan Morgan: the current crisis shows that unity in the face of economic and financial crisis is far more difficult for a 17-member club of nations than for a union of 50 states under one government.
A Passionless Presidential Race?
Robert Reich: Occupiers and others have had enough.
Yet paradoxically the presidential race that officially begins a few months from now is likely to be as passionless as they come.
How Austerity Is Ushering in a Global Recession
Robert Reich: Chalk up a big part of Europe's slowdown to the politics and economics of austerity. Europe – including Britain – have turned John Maynard Keynes on his head. They've been cutting public spending just when they should be spending more to counteract slowing private spending.
What Brings Democrats and Republicans Together: A White President?
Anthony Samad: The rise of the Tea Party wouldn't have taken place had we had a white president. Blink if you want to…but the fact this has not happened to any other President has raised my "Race-dar," beyond anything ideological battles could muster. Race(ism) has not disappeared in this country. It's just been codified.
Republican Double-Dip: What Must Be Done
Robert Reich: Now that we're slouching toward a double-dip recession, the only hope is voters will tell their members of Congress to stop obsessing about future budget deficits and get to work on the real crisis of unemployment, falling wages, and no growth.
The Debt Ceiling Crisis: Let's Get Personal
Walter Brasch: Since you like hunting, and they like hunting, your banker friends will let you buy all the guns and ammunition you want. But, they can't help you on your health bills, or even lower the insurance premiums and co-pays. And, they can't do much for that inflated mortgage payment. Or to help you find another job.
Real Crises and Fake Ones
Steve Hochstadt: Our economic disaster is not about national debt, but about national poverty. America cannot be a great country, if we do not alleviate the critical economic problems gripping our poorest families.
Don't Fall for GOP "Budget Crisis" Lie
Robert Reich: Republicans are using what would otherwise be a routine, legally technical vote to raise the debt limit as a means of holding the nation hostage to their own political goal of shrinking the size of the federal government.
Can Obama Pull a Clinton on the GOP?
Robert Reich: It's no accident that President Obama appears to be following the Clinton script. After all, it worked.
Why Mitch McConnell Will Win the Day
Robert Reich: Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's compromise on the debt ceiling is a win for the President disguised as a win for Republicans. But it really just kicks the can down the road past the 2012 election – which is what almost every sane politician in Washington wants to happen in any event.

For Johnson, a busy spring and summer has slowed down this fall, his shoulder fully healed, his season still going, and recruiting not being nearly as stressful as before.
"It's been slowing down for me, which is good," said Johnson. "I'm getting to see who really wants me. I have my top three still of Stanford, UCLA and Washington."
Johnson visited Washington officially in September, seeing the Huskies host Stanford.
And he plans to visit Stanford and UCLA officially still.
"I am going to go visit both of them after the season," said Johnson. "I'd prefer to take the trips in December, but it depends, it could be January."
Johnson, though, will likely see both play in the next two weeks.
"I'm trying to go to the Stanford-UCLA game (Thanksgiving weekend), but I'm going to the UCLA-USC game for sure this weekend," said Johnson.
So who is recruiting Johnson the hardest?
"UCLA is recruiting me the hardest, Coach (Demetrice) Martin is recruiting me for UCLA," said Johnson. "Most of the defensive staff at Washington is recruiting me really and Coach (Pete) Alamar is recruiting me for Stanford."
Johnson had originally hoped to announce his decision at the Semper Fidelis All-American Bowl, but is now going to wait till the very end.
"I'm going to announce on Signing Day," said Johnson.
Johnson missed much of the offseason with a shoulder injury, but he's been healthy for the whole season, and Central will play Bakersfield in the CIF-Central Section D-I quarterfinals on Friday.
"My shoulder is good, and I'm working back to 100%," said Johnson.

Achievement Guide and Roadmap
Banner coming soon!
This Achievement Guide and Roadmap was written by Fuzzy Dem0n and myself. Special thanks to Judge_Bergan for helping out with this guide in the Greenbook!
Welcome to Bug Village! This game has a total of 7 achievements for a total of 200 and it is FREE. If youre wondering what Bug Village is, the best way to describe it would be a copy of FarmVille. The game consists of building homes for your Ants and Bees while keeping junk piles for your ants to scavenge and flowers for your bees to collect nectar from. For each flower or junk pile you complete, you will gain acorns. Acorns are your form of currency in this game; it is what you use to restock junk piles, buy food to keep your insects working, buy decorations, and to build more homes to obtain more workers. Each task in this game takes anywhere from 5 minutes all the way up to 48 hours. The more time a task takes, the more acorns you will obtain. The game will run in the background while you wait for these tasks to be completed. Unfortunately, Bug Village is buggy in more ways than one; it has a number of glitches that you should be aware of before playing this game. These glitches can cause achievements to not unlock when they should (like "Ding!" for example), not make pests appear (thus not letting you get achievements like "Lady Helper" and "Air Freshener" without starting over), game crashes and more! Glu Mobile has released a patch, but the issues have still happened afterward.
Step 1: Building Your Village
The game will start off with a tutorial on how to play the game and will help you start your village. Tap your bug 25 times, and then start saving up acorns so you can feed your bugs, build more houses and more piles and flowers. Once you have at least 2,000 extra coins to spare, go into the shop and buy 50 Small Fence. Place them wherever you would like, but make sure you remove them after the "Great Decorator" achievement unlocks to avoid some glitches. See the "Deleting Items" section of this roadmap for more information on this. Keep building homes until you have 20 bugs living in your village, and then start concentrating on saving acorns. The achievements you will obtain in this step are:
Step 2: Ladybugs and Stinky Bugs
This step should be done while working on Step 1 (and Step 3). You will have have to take care of Ladybugs and Stinky Bugs 100 times. Sadly, both of these achievement have glitches associated with them. The Stinky Bugs may make you auto-quit your game if you have hit 100 or crash your game. For some reason, both types of bugs may stop appearing in your game. If this happens to you, first check everything in your village closely and move items to see if they are hidden. View this thread for more information on checking your village. If you do not see any while searching and they stop appearing entirely, you will eventually have to start over. Please see Step 4 for more information on starting over. The achievements that should be completed in this step (if they do not glitch) are:
Step 3: Saving Acorns and Playing the Game
Now, it is time to save as many acorns as possible and just keep playing the game. You will need to save 300,000 acorns at once which can be very time consuming and boring. Just keep playing until you finally get enough acorns and aim to reach Level 25 in the process for the "Ding!" achievement. Note that this achievement may unlock earlier or later than Level 25, so just keep playing until the achievement finally unlocks. The achievements obtained in this step are:
If you did not have the glitch issues present earlier in Step 2, congratulations on your new completion! If you were unfortunate enough to have glitches, see the next step explaining what you should do.
Step 4: Retry Step 2 with Time Glitch (If the achievements glitched on you)
This step is for those who could not get the Ladybugs and/or Stinky Bugs to appear or had other issues with those bugs. Make sure you have finished all other achievements before doing this step since you will lose all progress you currently have in the game. When you are ready, remove the game from your phone, and re-install it. Now, go into the game and finish the tutorial. Once you finish that and take care of the Ladybug and Stinky Bug in your village, exit out of your game. You will be performing a Time Glitch to make sure that both bugs appear when they are supposed to. Please view this thread to see exactly what must be done to get these achievements without the glitch. Make sure that your phone is not set at a future date when these achievements unlock! If you unlock them with your phone set in the future, you will not get the achievement until the future date.
Deleting Items:
You may need to delete items after achieving Great Decorator as it, or if you have too many items on the map at one time, will cause the game to glitch. One result of having too many items on the map is that you will get random black screens. To stop this from happening, open up the tap for the item you would like to delete. To delete an item, open the decorations tab, then click on a decoration that is on the map. A purple box will be above it, and clicking the box will delete the item. Be aware that doing this will not give you acorns that were spent back.
Time Glitch:
Some tasks in this game can take many hours, or even a few days, to complete; a way around this is the time glitch. To do this, once you have started a task click the Windows/Home button. This allows the game to run in the background. Now go to Settings > Date+Time. If Set automatically" is turned ON, set it to OFF. From here, you will see: Time Zone, Date, and Time. Click Time and set the hours ahead the same amount of hours that the task or tasks take. Now go to the Xbox Live tab and pick Big Village. If you just click the back button and do not go through the Xbox Live tab, the glitch will not work properly. Make sure that you do not unlock achievements at a future date because you will not be able to get that achievement until that future date occurs.
Bug Village will take you at least a month to complete if you play it legit. You can use the time glitch to vastly improve the speed of the game, just be careful of the time on your phone before you unlock achievements. The game is an extremely easy and free completion, so there should not be any difficulty unless you come across a glitch. Even though the game is very glitchy, and some glitches affect achievements, you should still be able to complete the game. The full 200 is obtainable and easy to get if willing to invest time.

Acorn Ace 40
Collect 300,000 Acorns.
This achievement is NOT cumulative; you must have 300,000 acorns at one time. Acorns can be earned by helping Ladybugs, completing missions on the right hand side of the screen, and finishing tasks with your bugs. Finishing piles with your ants or flowers with your bees is going to be how you will earn a vast majority of your acorns needed. The large junk piles that take 24 hours and the orange flowers that take 48 hours give the most amounts of acorns. Keep raiding junk piles and collecting from flowers and this achievement will come over time. It is best to go for this achievement after you have the "Bug Breeder" achievement since you should have enough bugs to help you earn income faster by then. While grinding for this achievement, try not to spend any acorns except for when feeding your bugs. This will help you earn the achievement quicker since you would not be buying anything unnecessary.
Bug Breeder 30
Attract 20 Bugs In The Village.
You must have 20 bugs in your village at one time. To get more bugs, you must simply build and upgrade the homes. A new bug will appear once your building or upgrade is finished. This achievement includes both ants and bees. If you loose track of the number of bugs in you village, just click the picture of the red ant in the top left corner of the screen. The left number is the amount of bugs working and the right side number is the total amount of that kind of bug in the village.
Ding! 40
Reach Level 25.
XP can be gained in many ways. Some of these ways are getting rid of Ant Lions and Stinky Bugs, helping Ladybugs, completing missions on the right hand side of the screen, buying decorations, and finishing tasks with your bugs. Finishing tasks with the piles and flowers all have different amount of XP earned when they are completed depending on the size and time it takes to finish them. Over time, this achievement will unlock; just keep playing!
Note: This achievement is extremely glitchy! It can unlock at a range of different levels. People have reported this unlocking as early as level 17 and others have had to reach past level 26 before it unlocked.
Lady Helper 20
Help 100 Ladybugs.
Ladybugs will appear about every 45 min to 1 hour. You have to look around the map to find them. They will be on their backs. To help them, just simply tap on them and they will fly away. If you do the time glitch, just set the clock ahead 4 hours, then go back into game and help the ladybug. Keep repeating the glitch as many times as needed. If you use the time glitch, make sure you do not unlock your achievement in the future.
Note: There is a glitch that can cause the Ladybugs to stop appearing in the game. If this happens to you, please check your village very carefully and consult with this thread. If you do not find any in your search and they still do not show up, you will eventually need to start the game over. Please see the Roadmap and this thread for information on what to do in this situation.
Bug Tapper 10
Tap 25 Bugs.
This will probably be one of your first achievements that you will unlock. This can been done on the same bug 25 times. When you click on a bug, they will do an action. Once they are done, click them again, and they should perform another action. Make sure you are doing this on one of your ants or bees and not one of the Ladybugs, Stinky Bugs, or Ant Lions. Those bugs do not count toward this achievement.
Air Freshener 20
Get Rid Of 100 Stinky Bugs.
This achievement is similar to the "Lady Helper" achievement. Stinky Bugs will appear every 4-5 hours. To get rid of a Stinky Bug, you must tap them 3 different times. After each tap, the Stinky Bug will move to another location. After 3 taps, they will fall over and disappear. This will count as getting rid of one Stinky Bug.
Note: There are glitches related to the Stinky Bugs. One glitch can cause the Stinky Bugs to stop appearing in the game. If this happens to you, please check your village very carefully for them and consult with this thread. If you do not find any in your search and they still do not show up, you will eventually need to start the game over. You will also need to start your game over if you run into another Stinky Bug glitch. This glitch happens when you are get rid of your 100th Stinky Bug. Instead of getting the achievement, your game will crash. Please see the Roadmap and this thread for information on what to do if these glitches happen to you.
Great Decorator 40
Place 50 Decorations.
Place 50 decorations anywhere in the game, ranging from fences, leaves, chips, chairs, and more. You can get this achievement by placing the same decoration 50 times. The easiest way to get this achievement is to buy 50 Small Fence. This method will only cost you 2,000 acorns total and they are the cheapest decoration to buy in the store.
Note: This achievement is not glitched, but upon unlocking this achievement, or putting 50 decorations on the map, the game will start to glitch. You will get random black screens; to stop this from happening after you place 50 decorations, simply delete them off the map. You can delete decorations by tapping on the item, and the hitting the purple box above it. You will not be refunded any acorns if you delete an item from your village.

Achievement hunters beware yes it's easy to play but I did the time glitch and the game would not update to my account also it is not four weeks for 200 G me and my girlfriend have updated the piles every four to eight hours for over two months we finally got 300000 for currency and were at level 21 out of 25 the longer u play the less exp u get. We're looking at another month just updating piles to reach lv 25 if u start and don't finish the game it will give more to those who have done on trueacheivements.com thanks just sick of these bull shit guides

Regarding the time, this guide says 4+ weeks, the plus sign indicates that this can take much longer than four weeks. The longer you play, the less XP you get doesn't make any sense. The reason why it takes longer to level up as your level increases is because more XP is required for higher levels.

Ouachita Baptist University will host the 2016 Pastors' Conference on Thursday, Sept. 29, on the university's Arkadelphia campus. Ouachita's Pruet School of Christian Studies and the Arkansas Baptist State Convention collaborate to host the event.
Each year, LifeWay Christian Resources selects a book of the Bible to highlight for a Winter Bible Study that many churches conduct from January to March. The conference is an opportunity for pastors to gain notes and insights on that particular book in the early fall to be better prepared for their own teaching early the next year.
"Most pastors rarely get time away from their churches to refuel. Our conference offers one day away when pastors receive a current commentary for their library, notes from our professors' sessions and discounts on Pruet faculty-authored books," explained Dr. Danny Hays, dean of the Pruet School and one of this year's conference leaders. "In addition, we hope the time to fellowship with other pastors and ministers is an encouragement to these who so faithfully serve our Arkansas churches."
The topic for this year's conference is "Malachi: Complacency Exposed." Also helping lead the conference is Dr. Doug Nykolaishen, associate professor of Biblical studies.
The conference is a one-day event starting at 9 a.m. and concluding at 3:30 p.m. Registration can be completed online at www.obu.edu/pconf. The cost is $55 per person and includes the NIV Application Commentary on Joel, Obadiah & Malachi by David W. Baker, session notes for preaching and teaching, continental breakfast, lunch and refreshments, the opportunity to purchase PSCS faculty-authored books at discount prices and fellowship with others in ministry.
For more information, contact Tracey Knight at email@example.com or (870) 245-5599.
Hickingbotham School of Business
FLEX (Freshmen): Camp Winnamocka, Thursday, September 29, 2:30-6:30pm
Ouachita Baptist University's Department of Language and Literature will host author Andy Davidson in a reading of his debut novel, In the Valley of the Sun, on Thursday, Sept. 29. The reading, which is free and open to the public, will be held at 7 p.m. in Hickingbotham Hall's Young Auditorium on Ouachita's campus.
Davidson, a 2000 Ouachita graduate, currently teaches English at Middle Georgia State University in Cochran, Ga., in addition to his work as an author. He earned a Master of Fine Arts degree in creative writing from the University of Mississippi.
"We are delighted to welcome back to campus, 16 years after graduation, an alumnus who was not only a fine student worker for our department but a superb English major who was committed to the craft of a writer from his earliest days with us, submitting for his thesis for the Carl Goodson Honors Program a novel of over 300 pages and heading straight to the University of Mississippi's distinguished creative writing program," noted Dr. Jay Curlin, OBU's Kathryn Maddox Professor of English.
"Our students should be inspired to hear a Ouachita graduate who has remained devoted to his craft throughout the years since," he added, "following that early undergraduate dream with such commitment that we are just a few months away from the publication of his most recent novel."
In the Valley of the Sun, a horror novel, is expected to be released June 6, 2017, by Skyhorse Publishing.
"The book is about a very human subject: family," Davidson said. "It's a story about four lonely, damaged souls who find each other in the worst possible circumstances, all of them victims of grief or loss or trauma of some kind.
"Horror is about what we're afraid of, and there's usually nothing we're more afraid of, as people, than being alone," he added. "So the genre, in a way, lets us explore themes like loss and grief or loneliness in a way that really gets right to the heart of what we want, which is to not be afraid of those things. So with scary stories, we get to excise those kinds of fears through catharsis, but we also get to see their effects in a way that maybe helps us understand our own fears better."
On being invited to return to his alma mater to speak, Davidson said, "I couldn't be more honored. The very first class I ever took in creative writing was as an English major here. I've worked in academia ever since I left OBU, as a student, a writer and as a teacher, and I've always been reminded over the years how very special the professors here are. In almost all things, I've aspired to be like them. They're lifelong friends."
For more information on OBU's Department of Language and Literature, contact Dr. Doug Sonheim, chair, firstname.lastname@example.com or (870) 245-5554. For more information on Andy Davidson, visit his website,theandydavidson.com, or follow him on Twitter at @theandydavidson.

As sick and twisted codependent relationships go, the five-decade linkage of Burt and Linda Pugach - he a personal-injury lawyer-slash-movie producer, she a glamorous New York gal many years his junior - takes some kind of cake.
Dan Klores' straightforward (and straight-faced) documentary, Crazy Love, lays out the details of this tragicomic affair. It began, unbeknownst to one of the participants, the then 21-year-old Linda Riss, quite literally as an affair. That is because when Pugach, owner of a giant ego, a spiffy nightclub and a private plane, first started squiring the lovely Ms. Riss around town, he was a married man.

Great article to accompany some great music from a great movie. Unfortunately, it's not eligible for an Oscar since its not a new score. Ends with a little jab at the Grammys too. Makes me want to watch the movie again and pay better attention to the music.
Its creators hope the movie's soundtrack will be the O Brother Where Art Thou of Hawaiian music.
