"Today'sjobs report is a stark reminder of what's at stake for
African Americanfamilies in this election – John McCain showed last night
that he is intent oncontinuing the economic policies that just this year
have caused the AfricanAmerican unemployment rate to jump to 10.6%. Over
the past year, AfricanAmerican unemployment has shot up by 2.9 percentage
points -the largest oneyear increase in 24 years. John McCain may believe
that the fundamentals of oureconomy are 'strong,' but African American
families are working harder andharder for less, with incomes down $1,800
since George Bush took office.
JohnMcCain's answer is more of the same: $200 billion in tax cuts to big
corporationsand oil companies, and not one dime of tax relief to more than
100 millionmiddle-class families. If I am President, I will cut taxes for
95% of allworking families and provide an immediate $50 billion to
struggling states sothat they don't have to cut back on health care and
education and can rebuildroads and schools. That's the change working
families need right now," saidSenator Barack Obama.
Senator Obama's Emergency Economic Plan includes:
Cut taxes for 95 percent of working families – by $500 for
anindividual and $1,000 for a married couple. Barack Obama supports a set
of middle classtax cuts including a "Making Work Pay" credit that would
provide $500 for anindividual or $1,000 for a married couple – a benefit
for 95 percent of workersand their families. Given the pressing situation
in the economy today he wouldlike the first round of checks to be delivered
as quickly as possible to helpfamilies cope with the rising price of
gasoline, food and other necessities.
$25 billion in a State Growth Fund to prevent state and
localcuts in health, education and housing assistance or counterproductive
increasesin property taxes, tolls or fees. The fund will also ensure
sufficient funding forhome heating and weatherization assistance as we move
into the fall and wintermonths.
$25 billion in a Jobs and Growth Fund to replenish the
highwaytrust fund; prevent cutbacks in road and bridge maintenance and fund
new,fast-tracked projects to repair schools – all to save more than 1
millionjobs in danger of being cut.

How do you know that the words of a Prophet ring True?
You test them against the Word of Hashem. If the Word of Hashem and the words of the Prophet are the same, then the Prophet is True.
How do you know that someone is a Prophet?
A Prophet does not come to the True Believers; for the True Believers, have already chosen a path, whether they are an Atheist, a Rabbi, a Catholic, a Jehovah's Witness, or a Seventh Day Adventist. The Prophet comes only to the lost sheep of Israel, who fundamentally question whether the path that they are on, is the One True Path.
Who are the lost sheep of Israel?
Yisrael (יִשְׂרָאֵל), is a descendant of Jacob. Israel, is the English equivalent of the masculine name.
El (אֵל) is God, god, or gods. It is masculine, and is generally taken as plural. It references good, might, greatness, and strength.
El is shortened from ayil (אָ֫יִל), a masculine word which means, "ram." It signifies strength, might, goodness, greatness, and power, the same as does el. It also references the creative force, as the source of the Seed of the Cosmos; i.e., God, or god, or gods. But you will not see anyone from any Church of man, mentioning that one to you.
Ayil has exactly the same meanings as does el, which should give one pause to think, Who, or What, was sacrificed as a replacement for Isaac, via the Burning Bush?
Yischaq (יִשְׂחָק ) is transliterated in English to Isaac. This masculine name means the same as Yitschaq (יִצְחָק), i.e., "he laughs." He was the son of Abraham and Sarah, and the father of Yisrael. The name came from the root tsachaq (צָחַק), which ostensibly means, "to laugh," whether in merriment, or scornfully. Associations are with caress, entertain, mock, poke fun at, joke around, and play.
So sacrificing Isaac, could actually have been a bitter-sweet act…
For he may actually have deserved it, for not taking the God of his father seriously. That is a possibility, which of course, would have been covered over by the Churches of man.
Ayil also has the associations of mighty man, lintel, post, tree, and oak attached to it. Which could mean that the Burning Bush, was a type of oak tree.
Think of Samson, the sun, the battlement, the east side, etymologically…
He was the Judge, the Support of Hashem, the Rod, the Branch, the Pillar of Punishment. And he killed more while blind than he ever did while sighted, by knocking down their temple's two supports in one final act of strength. The total of his enemies dead during all of the many years of his fighting with the Philistines who he lived amongst, did not match the toll of that one last Act for YHWH.
Think of it…
The doorposts, and the lintel.
All three of them, smeared in blood – The blood of the Beam of Hashem, Samson.
Before you remove the splinter from another, first take out the Beam, which is blinding you.
Man put out his two eyes – But he could still See the Light, with his Third Eye.
His Third Eye, was the Lintel Above. And the Two Posts to either side were put out, with the Sharpened Tree of Hashem…
The Point of it All, hardened and sharpened black as the night, Within the Flames.
The Lintel Beam, always bears the whole load of the Temple…
Until the two posts are twisted out from below it.
Ayil comes from the same root as does the masculine uwl (אוּל), which means, "mighty," and references strength. It can be applied to a tribal chieftain, a ram, a support, or any other strong tree or man. It comes from another Hebrew root which means to twist.
So the Curving Horn of the Ram, which was held fast by the twisting branches of the Burning Bush as a Sacrifice, needs to be considered as well.
It doesn't tell you, does it?
That the Living Bush of Abraham and Isaac Upon Moriah, Within the Sight of the Lord, Is the same Burning Bush of Moshe Upon Horeb, the Desolation Which Brings the Wasteland?
For the Bush Which Burns, Holds the Ram of the Sacrifice, Hedged all about with the Thorns. The Scapegoat, Who man blames for everything…
It is YHWH Himself, the Hidden Name, the Presence Herself, Seen.
It is the Giving Up, of those Judged.
Israel means, "he will rule as God." Which, prefigures the role of Moshe…
Seen to Enter the Sanctuary…
Seen Beneath the Veil, as God Himself, Upon the earth itself.
Who Is the One, Between Heaven and the earth?
The One Who Talks With YHWH?
The One Within the Presence of Shekinah?
The One Who Speaks the Hidden Unknown Name, Summoning Forth Hashem?
Is it not Always the Prophet?
The Very Friend of Hashem?
Jisrael is another name for both Jacob and his descendants. It comes, interestingly, from sarah and el.
Sarah (שָׂרָה) means, "to contend, persist, exert, or persevere." An associated word, is to wrestle. Which did not bode well for Peace, within the tent of Abraham…
And which prefigures Miriam and Aaron, colluding against their kinsman, Moshe.
And no one is more scoffing of the Word, is more insistent, or is more of a busy-body within the pages of the Bible, than is the conniving Sarah, who helped her younger son Jacob to steal his twin brother's Rightful Blessing, via outright deception.
Oh, Esau did not value his Birthright enough; that much is for certain. But his Blessing, he was outright and most certainly cheated out of.
Yaaqob (יַעֲקֹב), transliterated in English to Jacob, was the twin son of Isaac, along with Esau. This masculine name has much the same meaning as aqab (עָקַב), which means, "to follow at the heel of (like a dog which bites you right in the ass), to be crafty, to attack sneakily, to circumvent, or to overreach your bounds". It comes from the masculine word aqeb (עִקְּבֵי), which means, "heel, footprint, of the hind part of." Associated with aqeb are hooves, steps, trails, tracks, the rear guard, one lying in wait to ambush, or the last one.
Which makes Jacob, the heel-grasper, or the supplanter of his brother – The snake in the grass, you might say, who craftily grasps the back heel of the mighty red-haired horse who passes by him, unaware, upon the path.
Think of Jacob's Blessing of Dan…
Who, apparently, was a lot like his old man, in many ways.
Or, perhaps, we should think of the mighty Greek warrior, Achilles, wounded, stung in the heel by the arrow, by the fang of Paris? And think of Esau as one of the ancient, invading sea peoples, as a Parisianus?
For it is only by craft and ambush and collusion with the mother hill country Canaanite tribes, that Jacob could hold his own against the more newly-arrived Philistines.
Jacob, like aqab, essentially means, "to deal craftily, to take from behind (to heel, to trip up), to restrain (through craft, grasping from behind), to supplant utterly in the land, and to take it, and to stay there."
Who does the Prophet come for, other than the son of Sarah, the grasper from behind, the wrestler, the seeking serpent within the greenery?
And Who does Israel wrestle with, and bind until the dawn, before he can become Israel?
Other than, YHWH Himself?
And Who is the Angel of the Lord Come Down, the Red Star, the Doer of the Many Things, other than Jacob's own man-child brother?
Who is the horse of Hashem, the wild ass, the hairy one of the wilds of the world, other than Esau?
Who is the restless one, the wander in the Desert of Zin, the one who seeks Peace but cannot find it, other than Esau?
It is the lost sheep, the lost flock Crossed Over, who have been led into the byways, and who have had all of their strength twisted into the grasping flames of those mighty oaks who have led them astray…
That is the one, who the Prophet has come for.
The Prophet, has come to liberate el, the ram, the child of Abraham, from the Sacrifice…
For the one who laughs, and who mocks, who scorns to this very day, has always made the captives in all of the byways, their sacrifices in their stead.
And this is why the Prophet Isaiah (1:10-31, KJB) has railed:
"Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.
To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.
When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?
Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.
Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.
And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.
Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;
Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:
But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.
How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.
Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water:
Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.
Therefore saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies:
And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin:
And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellers as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.
Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.
And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed.
For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.
For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.
And the strong shall be as tow, and the maker of it as a spark, and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them."
What does the Prophet say about the One True Path?
Actually, absolutely nothing, to the True Believers – For He simply Walks Upon it, all alone.
What does the Prophet say about the Kingdom of Hashem to the lost ones, who suffer to come Unto Him?
"Let the children Come Up, Unto Me."
And what does the Prophet tell all of the dead round stones, unseeing, unhearing, unfeeling, within the Wilderness of Zin?
"Repent! For the Kingdom, Is already at hand!"
And just where Is this Kingdom of the Name?
It Is, Within the Prophet…
And, it Is, Without Him.
It Is Right Before the lost, a Light Within the Veil of the Darkness…
It is a Leveled Place, Upon the Smoothed Path.
And where Is the One True Path?
It Is wherever the Prophet Himself, Chooses to Walk.
Follow Within the Footsteps…
Seek, to Find the Trail.
Do you really think that Hashem has given up on you?
That He has abandoned you Unto the Flaming Pit?
That there can ever be a Last Prophet, yet no Last Days Come Forth?
Then how is it said, that a man lives a thousand lifetimes? But yet, a coward dies a thousand deaths, each and every day?
How will you know that you have a Prophet Standing Before you?
When the people deign to choose between the Harlot and the Beast…And they say that such a choice, either way, is the only right and proper one…
When the people elect for themselves, the stones and the dry wadis and the blowing sand of Zin, over the Land Flowing With Milk and Honey…
And when they lift up their dressed-up and painted, wooden and stone-hearted idols above themselves, and raise them up unto all of the High Places amongst them, and nail them all fast, against the Whirlwind…
Then, you will Know, that you already have the Prophet Standing Right Before you.
When the people choose a man as their king, and a woman as their queen, over the Kingdom and the Day of Hashem…
When the Prophet and Hashem both turn away from all of them, and show them their back-sides…
Then, you will Know, that the Unseen Truth is now Revealed.
When the words of the Prophet Burn the rotting flesh off of the bones of the deaf, dumb, and blind, the crippled, unclean, and mortal men…
And the people all say, "It is because of the Prophet! He is the One Who Is to blame! If He were not to Speak the Name, then everything would go well with us! So, let us seize Him, and throw Him over the cliff! And pile stones up over Him, so that His Word can never Cut us, can Burn us no more!"
When the words of the Prophet Burn Away the Chuppah, Remove the Covering of the Veil, Remove the Scales From Before the Eyes, as do the Word of the Sword of the Very Tongue of Hashem…
Then, do you find a Living Prophet of God Before you.
Stop; look; listen…
And the first death, will no longer have any hold over you.
Do not allow the Prophet, to throw you over the Cliff…
Do not allow the Very Stones, to bury you Within them.
Do not fear the corruption, the wasting away of the mortal flesh; rather fear the Chill of the Indrawn Breath, which snuffs out the Light of the Living Lamp Poured Within.
Naked art thou ever Seen, before thine own God…
Die first, Within the Womb of the Darkness…
And Become Reborn, The Water Within the Cup, Within the Coming Light, East of the Gate of Gan Eden.
"Wake Up! And Come Out of Her, My Child!"

PSU buzz: Did London rebuff a pre-fire call?
Mike London wouldn't have liked it, but the buzz in the stands during the Duke game was all about Penn State courting him.
No matter who first floated the idea (word on the street says ESPN started it), by November 11, the college football web-universe, including fairly reputable sites like the Washington Post and CBS Sports, were crazy with rumors that Penn State had gone hat in hand to London before firing Joe Paterno.
Mike London immediately and angrily denied the rumor (CBS Sports retracted its story just four hours after posting it), but so what? Denying contact with other schools is rule #2 in the college athletic handbook, sandwiched between the rules that consider a coach's contract just paper with no binding value and that require at least three minor NCAA infractions a year. So UVA and London denied the rumor; what else could they do?
We'd like to believe Mike London bears zero resemblance to Rich Rodriguez or any number of other coaches who flit from team to team like bees. When London said he didn't talk to Penn State, he might well have been telling the truth, but when it comes to coaches' switching jobs, even adamant denials are suspect.
"I don't even want to start to get into all that stuff like that," said London. "No, I haven't heard from them, and I don't expect to. ... I can tell you no one [from Penn State] has reached out to me, or talked to me. It's way, way, way, way premature for anyone to credibly think that's the case."
Are Mike London's words really any more reassuring than these? "I'm not going to be the Alabama coach"– Nick Saban, who landed two weeks later in Tuscaloosa to chants of "Roll Tide!"
"I just want to get this out of the way; I'm staying"– Now-Maryland-but-then-Wichita State basketball coach Mark Turgeon in 2006 on speculation he would go to a larger school. The next season he was head coach at Texas A&M.
Saban and Turgeon aren't the only NCAA coaches to say they're staying when they're leaving. The epic list includes Lane Kiffin, Bobby Petrino, Urban Meyer, Gene Chizik– and perhaps most notably, current Texas Tech coach Tommy Tuberville, who made his famous statement about staying at Ole Miss ("They'll have to carry me out of here in a pine box") just two days before he departed for Auburn in the dead of night.
In "The Boy Who Cried Wolf," Aesop makes no mention of the poor kid who inherits the shepherding job from the ne'er-do-well whose lies led to the decimation of the village flock. Since the wolf ate all the sheep, maybe there was no job to fill, but if indeed there were, how could the new shepherd prove himself not a liar? If a shepherd sees a wolf, he's going to yell, "wolf." But if that's what liars yell, how can anyone trust him?
Perhaps Mike London is the Chris Christie of NCAA football, and when he says he didn't talk to Penn State and that he wants to stay at UVA as long as possible, he means it. But unfortunately for Mike London, in collegiate athletics, a denial is tantamount to an admission.
So there's really no way the University or London can convince anyone that Penn State didn't call. Getting mad won't change that. They should just stay away from statements about pine boxes.
One final note: Really, Floyd Mayweather? Burning money in a club is bad enough, but burning a Benjamin when you're supposed to be giving a deposition means you were in a club during the day. That's just pitiful.

But this isn't your run-of-the-mill coaching vacancy. In this particular case, I think one can credibly believe that Penn State hasn't reached out to any coaching candidates yet. They have much bigger problems, and a whole slew of good reasons to wait a while before they worry about Paterno's replacement.
I think someone in the area floated the idea of London going to Penn State to help their own recruiting scenario. All's fair in love, war and football apparently.
Comparing him to a list of current and former SEC ne'er-do-wells the likes of Lane Kiffin, Bobby Petrino, Urban Meyer, Gene Chizik, and Tommy Tuberville is a pretty big slap in the face to Mike London and probably merits an apology from Ms. Giles. Until I hear differently, I think I'll choose to believe Coach London.
Who cares?
London is not going anywhere............
Wouldn't you have to actually attend the game in order to hear "the buzz in the stands"?
Nah. The buzz was so loud you could hear it in Crozet, Ruckersville and Scottsville.
Avoid sports coverage, Hook. Stick to ratting out Hunter Craig.
ML isn't going anywhere, and this is a non-story.
I would think any coach to consider going to PSU - there would have to be a whole lot of money thrown at them at the moment. Truly, potential players are backing away like flies to a fire now. The damage that has been done will take PSU football years to recover.
Juanita Giles is a shockingly bad sports writer.
It was a recruiting ploy to scare UVa recruits away. Albeit, London would be perfect for the Penn State job. He is a former cop, no nonsense guy, and decent coach. Just what Penn State needs. I see him resurrecting UVa then going to the NFL in a couple of years. I doubt Penn State is reaching out this soon. They will be lucky to have enough money to field an intramural squad much less a football team soon after this all settles.
Let's put it this way: Coach London has far more credibility than Juanita Giles. For her to insinuate that he isn't telling the truth, when her articles are often riddled with falsehoods, is truly laughable.
When was the last time Ms. Giles attended a UVA game? This is a very sorry excuse for a column, and I sure hope you don't pay her Spencer. To call London a liar is simply idiotic. Did you email him> Call him, anything?
He's not going to Penn State because he's not a homo. Every last one of the Athletic Dept. AND the President AND the po-lice chief AND the lezzie "judge" that let SanDOUCHESKY out on bond are queer as a $3 bill. THAT is why it went on as long as it did. None of them could rat out the other. Paterno is another one.
Truth Hurts- you are correct.........perhaps those PSU "dontwannabees" will spread the talent pool around and stack the decks at any number for D-1 teams and change college, albeit NFL farm teams, for next few years.
Please, please, please fire this terrible excuse for a sports writer- she is clearly the very worst thing in this paper.
Get someone who will write about high school or UVa- this woman's tripe is way past it's expiration date
Is the little gal who wrote this article part of the Chville inferiority complex? You know, the same types who think Dave Matthews is the only music around?
Who cares if PSU called? This is just the typical tact of writers who try to latch onto any linkage to create a "seven degrees of separation between x and y" scenario.
I mean, remember the NY Times reporter who admitted a few years ago that he made up sources and wrote false stories in the Times? Remember other reporters who have plagiarized to write articles or who created false sources? Happens often.
So, using this chick's logic, here is my stand:
"We'd all like to believe that Juanita Giles is a credible columnist with opinions based on facts, not innuendo. But buzz around The Corner last Friday was that Giles created sources that did not exist in writing a story about Coach Mike London. In a phone interview with Giles, she angrily denied these reports.
"However, based on what has occurred with several high profile cases that question journalistic credibility (most notably the recent NY Times cases of a reporter making up stories and editors not checking them), any angry denial does not convince this reporter or reassure those cynical of the news business."
Would this gal like it if I published such tripe? Now that she is in the public light by virtue of writing lots of articles with her byline, would she like it if I snooped around Charlotte County to find out bad rumors about her family?
Fact is, media is a lot like sports: as more and more outlets (teams) are created due to technology (expansion), the talent pool of journalists (athletes) dwindles. We are reading rags compared to what existed fifty years ago. "Five hundred channels and nothing to watch."
Love and kisses,
PS: I am surprised The Hook did not create a headline more like: "The Clash: PSU Calling London?"
I didn't see any cause here to berate Juanita Giles. She didn't say anything that wasn't true. Like the truth that you can never count on a denial. She treated it all the way it should be treated -- with some tinge of sarcasm.
To make the case that Mr London is a liar one would think he would deserve the courtesy of some evidence to back up the allegation . The allegation of being a liar is not just a little aside of disbelief in a story but it is the theme of the entire piece based on nothing provided .
again, who cares?
Odd, I was in the stands, at the concession stands, walking through the parking lots and heard absolutely no mention of the Penn State coaching position. Did hear several people comment on the fact that Nebraska had beaten Penn State. If there was so much concern about the rumor, that would have been a perfect time to segue into, "is London going do you think?" Guess it must have been a really low buzz, maybe heard only in the imagination of people who weren't at the game.
IF PSU contacted London they likely called 20 other coaches as well. London isnt going anywhere.
This is a non-story and the Hook knows it.
Juanita -- would you mind clarifying if you were even at the game or not.
There is no story here.
@Percy Kution, with all of those people you know at PSU, you must have had a lot of dates.

Souldbound by Heather Brewer is exhilerating and amazing. Kaya show's true bravery while still making time to fall in love. It kept me enthraled to the very last page. The entire book kept me guessing on what actually was going on. I loved the intensity and how even when Kaya is a girl she never wanted to give up and she didn't let anyone get into her way. I can't wait to read the next book "Soulbroken" to find out what will happen to Kaya and all of the other characters of the terrificly written Soulbound.

Originally published at Nerd Raft.
Sometime late Saturday night, two UFC champions with stellar records will defend their belts against legitimate challengers with probably not all that many people watching.
José Aldo and Renan "Barão" Pegado are 23-1 and 31-1, respectively. Both are undefeated in WEC and UFC fights. They're both preternaturally athletic Cuisinart strikers that also happen to possess black belts in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. The cherry perched atop all of this is that the two of them are entertaining as hell and prone to unleash improbable kinetic destruction that ends with some SportsCenter anchor trying to hastily pronounce their names during a top ten countdown. In his previous fight, Aldo noticed Chan Sung Jung's shoulder pop out and started kicking the bejesus out of it. Barão last landed this spinning fabulousness on Eddie Wineland and then grooved. If you needed an added bonus, one of them is even fighting Urijah Faber, a one time WEC champion, perennial contender in two divisions and a borderline star in his own right.
There's no obvious explanation for the relative lack of excitement regarding these fights. Except that the UFC is broken. The UFC, and MMA in general, are hopelessly busted in myriad ways, but this particular flaw concerns their ability to market a sport. Specifically, they don't (or can't, or won't) market athletes or a sport. They market a loud, tacky, brutal spectacle fronted by an initialism logo and shouting bald men that don't actually participate in any of the fighting. They sell a tremendously loud brand.
The UFC's sole focus is selling the letters "U," "F," "C." Through a combination of stubborn hubris and willful ignorance they push the organization above everything else, including the sport that it in theory promotes. They struggle to build characters and stars that don't readily present themselves. They live in a universe of logic where the NBA, without extraordinarily high quality basketball, or the rivalry of clashing personalities in Magic Johnson and Larry Bird, or the transcendent talent of Michael Jordan, is simply successful because it is the NBA and it should just scream that it is the NBA at an excessive volume to continue being successful. They don't realize that Lebron James is special as a hero and a villain and they don't understand that Kevin Durant is sublime and that people will pay to watch sublime. Time and time again, in an awkward uncomfortable pattern, they're willing to publicly bury even their biggest names, sometimes over petty or seemingly insignificant slights. They are convinced that the UFC in and of itself, drenched in nü-metal and machismo and cliches about warriors and oh my god so much yelling, is the alpha and omega star.
Zuffa, the Fertitta brothers and Dana White have done an impressive job doing what many thought was impossible. They bought a floundering organization in a struggling, controversial sport and they not only nursed it back to health, but spurred an impressive boom that has brought the sport to the cusp of legitimacy and mainstream acceptance. This is commendable. However, they've hit a plateau, and leveled off at a point that pro wrestling fans are intimately familiar with. They've reached a critical mass, at least in their largest markets, of fans who wholeheartedly embrace the dude-bro culture or love the sport enough to tolerate it regardless. There are only so many people who will watch regardless of who is fighting, or how well, simply in the hopes that two people who are lacking in strategic options but possessing an abundance of fortitude stand in the center of the cage and pound each other senseless. There are only so many hardcore aficionados and gamblers who will be sure to catch two C+ fighters on the bottom of the undercard, or increasingly, climbing up the main card, engaging in M-1 grappling and local Y boxing. There are certainly people who love Dana White, just as there are people who love or love to hate Vince McMahon, but there are far more people who would be more interested in the athletes; take note of how often the NFL unleashes Roger Goodell on us, howling and sweating and carny shilling.
If the UFC wants to surpass that barrier and inundate the public at large, they need sports fans. They need casual people who aren't even sports fans who won't actively turn them off. They need to intrigue people who enjoy seeing the highest levels of physical competition executed by peak athletes. They need not only fans who turn in for the brutality, but in spite of it. They need stars that audiences will back like their local team sports. They need to highlight talent, and competition, and stories.
They need honesty. If every undercard journeyman is a stone cold force of nature and a killer assassin, how do casual fans differentiate between several hundred ever rotating faces? If every shoddy fight between gassed-out gatekeepers is a clash of the titans, people are desensitized by the time you try to sell them a actual superfight. They need to show people doing shit they normally only see from Tony Jaa and Jason Statham, but in real time and to other resisting professional athletes, and convince them that this is the glory that you could potentially catch anytime you watch a card, but particularly when you watch a card filled with glorious sportsmen and women.
They need non-MMA sports media to take them seriously and in order to do that they need to stop acting like assholes to sports media. They need MMA media to be better and in order to do that they need to stop actively attracting assholes.
Nurturing or building or finding stars isn't remotely an exact science. And you can't create talent on demand. An environment where talent can thrive certainly helps. The more athletes that can train full time, with a top tier camp, the higher the overall level of execution and the more phenomenal athletes will rise to the top. This takes money, which is currently something the UFC is not interested in giving to its athletes in any considerable amount. It takes money that might entice more world class athletes to partake in a sport that involves having your brain rattle around the inside of your skull while someone tries to turn your elbow inside-out. An environment where (not technically) employees aren't bullied and demeaned every time your president throws a tantrum and where fighters that have served you well, even if they didn't wing bombs or hoist championship belts, are treated with loyalty and respect, might help too.
You can't force fans to be interested in Aldo or Barão. What you can do is publicize them. Give them visibility. Elevate them like the champions that they are. Convince people that what you do is, in fact, a sport, and explain to people that Aldo and Barão are better at that sport than all but a tiny fraction of all the other human beings on the planet. Show fans clips of them kneeing other fighters in the face with impeccable timing and rhythm. There are so many of these clips. Publicize current opponents and other future opponents, so that when Ricardo Lamas wins four fights in a row against quality competition and shows up in a title fight, people don't ask "Who?"
José Aldo and Renan Pegado are exceptional fighters with exceptional records who also happen to be consistently exciting. If you can't sell athletes like this, who most certainly will not drop out of the sky into your lap every day, how can you sell the average MMA fighter? What can you sell besides a brand name?

Book of Daniel
Tawny Holm
The Book of Daniel contains the only apocalypse in the Hebrew Bible. It is comprised of twelve chapters: 1–6, which are a series of six court tales describing the life of Daniel and his three friends, Judean exiles to the Babylonian court in the 6th century
The book was written in both Hebrew and Aramaic. The Greek editions of Daniel include additional material: a prayer and a hymn inserted into Dan 3, and two extra stories, Susanna and Bel and the Serpent. Daniel was placed in the Writings section of the Hebrew Bible but is located among the Prophets in the Septuagint as well as Catholic and Orthodox Christian Bibles. Among the Qumran Dead Sea Scrolls, there are at least eight copies of the Book of Daniel, as well as parabiblical literature either focused on a character named "Daniel" or otherwise related to the biblical book.
Daniel's main themes center mostly on its apocalyptic and eschatological features, such as the periodization of history, chronological predictions of end times, the sovereignty of God over earthly empires, martyrdom, and resurrection. These themes have influenced both Jewish and Christian views of eschatology. Within Christianity, the book is frequently read together with the Revelation or Apocalypse of John, an apocalyptic book in the New Testament that was greatly influenced by Daniel. Current research on the Book of Daniel not only utilizes some new approaches and methodologies but also continues to advance our understanding in these main areas: the relationship between the main texts of Daniel (the Hebrew-Aramaic as well as the Greek editions), Daniel's composition history, its social setting and political theology, and its Ancient Near Eastern influences.
Desire, Love, and Romance in the Hebrew Bible
J. Cheryl Exum
In the Hebrew Bible human sexual desire is, for the most part, constructed as male and as dangerous. In the patriarchal economy of ancient Israel, in which women were subordinated to men and younger men to older men, desire poses a potential threat to the preservation of male status, privilege, and hierarchy, upon which the patriarchal system is based. It is viewed warily as an overwhelming urge that, unchecked, can cause a man to lose control and act in ways that might jeopardize his position in the patriarchal hierarchy and, if some texts are to be taken seriously (Proverbs, the story of Samson), even his life. Thus legal texts seek to regulate and control sexual behavior and thereby channel sexual desire in permissible directions; Proverbs responds to the threat that uncontrolled desire poses by offering the young man a patriarchally sanctioned object of desire, personified Wisdom, and narrative texts, such as the stories of Samson and Delilah and David and Bathsheba, provide object lessons in the dangerous consequences of desire. There are few places in the Hebrew Bible where one person is said to love ('ahab) another in an amorous or carnal sense, and in all these cases only one of the pair is said to love. This does not mean that love was not thought of as reciprocated in biblical times, but only that reciprocal love was not a concern of biblical writers, with the exception of the poet of the Song of Songs. The Song of Songs is the only text in the Hebrew Bible in which sex, desire, love, and romance can all be found. This short book, the Bible's only love poem, gives its readers an unprecedented insight into what it is like to be in love from both points of view, a woman's and a man's.
Martin Luther's Treatises and Essays
Mark D. Tranvik
The treatise or essay has played a key role in the transmission of ideas in the Western intellectual tradition and the Church in particular. Generally shorter than a book or monograph, the treatise attempts to examine a topic in a manner that is thorough yet avoids systematic treatment. The tone of the treatise usually avoids polemics and favors instead a more dispassionate treatment of its subject. In the middle ages, treatises in scholastic theology often became highly abstract and lifeless, focusing more on logical precision designed to appeal to the mind (intellectus). Entreaties to the heart (affectus) were often suspect because they were thought to lack intellectual rigor. Martin Luther's "rhetoric of faith" results in a different view of the form of the treatise. Luther's theological revolution centered on justification by grace through faith alone meant that theology was no longer aimed at only the mind. The whole person, mind and heart (intellectus and affectus), was now the proper object of instruction and persuasion. Luther stresses that faith, or pistis in the New Testament sense, involves a trust that encompasses thinking and feeling. Accordingly, Luther's treatises and essays often exhibit this new rhetoric. The tone is often warm and embracing but certainly not to the exclusion of the mind. Evidence of this can be seen in five treatises he composes in the crucial year of 1520. This is the period just before he is excommunicated. To say the least, his future is highly uncertain. It is not surprising that he turns to the genre of the treatise as a format well suited to his program of reform. The Freedom of a Christian, The Treatise on Good Works, On the Papacy in Rome, To the Christian Nobility of the German Nation, and The Babylonian Captivity of the Church are the result. Together they comprise a radical proposal for change that envisions a Church grounded in God's Word and sacraments from which springs forth a people freed to love and serve their neighbors in all of their callings.
The Pentateuch
Thomas B. Dozeman
The Pentateuch ("five books") is the title for the first five books of the Bible in the Greek translation, known as the Septuagint (LXX). The more original title is the Hebrew, Torah, meaning "law." The revelation and composition of the Torah is attributed to Moses, which is reflected in the additional designation of the books as the "Torah of Moses." The authorship of the Pentateuch is central to its interpretation in Jewish and Christian tradition. The Mosaic authorship characterized the interpretation of the Pentateuch in the precritical period of research. The study of the Pentateuch in the modern era has been dominated by the quest to identify its anonymous authors and the changing social contexts in which the literature was written.
Ugaritic and Biblical Literature
Mark S. Smith
The Ugaritic texts provide a rich resource for understanding the Late Bronze Age kingdom of Ugarit, located on the coast of Syria. The site has yielded about two thousand tablets in Ugaritic, the West Semitic language of this city-state, and about twenty-five hundred tablets in Akkadian, the lingua franca of the period, as well as many texts written in seven other languages. These reveal a cosmopolitan, commercial center operating in the shadow of two great powers of the eastern Mediterranean basin, the Egyptians and the Hittites.
The Ugaritic texts offer innumerable literary and religious parallels to biblical literature. The parallels are so rich and in some cases so specific that it is evident that the Ugaritic texts do not merely provide parallels, but belong to a shared or overlapping cultural matrix with the Hebrew Bible. Ugaritic literature may not predate the earliest biblical sources by much more than a few decades, but the bulk of biblical literature dates to centuries later. Moreover, unlike the coastal, cosmopolitan center of Ugarit, ancient Israel's heartland lay in the rural inland hill-country considerably to the south in what is today Israel and occupied Palestinian territory. Despite these important differences, Ugaritic and biblical literature are not to be understood as representing entirely different cultures, but overlapping ones.
