College basketball news, Remy, some cheaters, and the political news, including info on why dying isn't scary any more!

Juwan Staten left Dayton and shopped his talents around finally landing at Penn State. Here's an interesting take on the whole thing...
http://www.linebacker-u.com/2011/04/juwan-staten-experiment.html

This whole blurb is a bit hard to follow but seems to claim Staten has wanted to go higher than Dayton since HS so it is a puzzle why he ever went to Dayton in the first place...
but there's really no secret that there were issues between Staten and Brian Gregory.
But guess who is Penn State's #1 target now that hey have Staten -- they're going after Remy Abell.

BTW -- Remy's own words...
"This has been tough on me,” Abell said. “With Coach Les being fired, he was somebody I wanted to play for."


Regarding Remy -- "A lot of schools are calling"....

BTW -- Demling also says something most already knew -- that just because it gets said a kid is getting recruited by a school doesn't mean much at all...

Solid guard/wing prospect out of Chicago DeLaSalle, Dre Henley commits to NIU...


One time Bradley recruit Jamari Traylor just visited Indiana -- and as soon as the visit was complete, he told an interviewer in a premium story that he had cut Indiana from his list and was not impressed.


You will NEVER convince me that the NBA and the refs involved who make money for each game they do -- don't hate a series ending in four games. They clearly want this series to go a few more games.


ICC baseball falls to 0-40 -- yes that's right, no typo, they have lost all 40 of their games this year!
Honestly -- an average pony league team ought to have won at least one or two on an opponents' bad day!!
Just maybe ICC people will finally do the right thing instead of blaming unpaid assistants.



More sleaze associated with University of Kentucky??
Not directly linked to Calipari but it's the kind of stuff we might expect to see...
One of the ex-University of Kentucky basketball players, Richie Farmer -- who now works for the State (KY) Department of Agriculture -- decided to go to the Sweet Sixteen Kentucky basketball finals in Lexington (their equivalent of our March Madness) - and stayed in a LUXURY SUITE, with valet service and meals -- and billed it all to the state's taxpayers!!
he claimed he was doing promotional work there during the weekend...
yeah....right..........

Other state officials, including the past Agriculture Dept. head have all said they never went to events like this and billed the taxpayers -- this is really shady!



Anyone remember this rant that made the airwaves and is still considered a classic??

Well - the key character, Antoine Dodson failed to capitalize on his instant fame...in fact -- he's slid just a little bit...

Obama offends Christians again......as well as a large number of people in a key ally nation!
Why won't our president call things as they are?? Why is it he kisses up to the Muslims all the time..?
Yesterday he insults many of our own NATO allies but again refusing to call genocide genocide...
http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5j5McaJvz5vG8c1TaNmzG323s74ig?docId=d016f7982da543c08532903633c30090

No doubt if a million and a half Muslims had been slaughtered he'd have called it genocide, so why does he take this obviously anti-Christian and pro-Muslim stance as he has done so many times? You decide -- but then they whine when people actually perceive that Obama acts like a Muslim!!
http://www.newsweek.com/2010/08/31/why-the-belief-that-obama-is-muslim.html

Many times President Obama has promised he will call out genocide when it happens, BUT he has steadfastly refused to label the systematic slaughter and genocide of 1.5 million Armenians 100 years ago as genocide..
Check for yourself -- Almost every reference that exists on this occurrence in this incident call it genocide...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armenian_Genocide

If you don't like this reference -- go pick your own...they all say the same...
So why won't Obama call it as he obviously sees it??
I think it is clear -- it is because he is following a generous pattern of always being nice to Muslims....as the Ottoman Empire were staunch Muslims and anti-Christians.

"The overwhelming majority of Armenians were Christians"...comprised of three groups "Apostolic", "Catholics", and "Protestants".

Read the Wikipedia reference or any other and see that this is a horrible ethnic crime and genocide BY Muslims against Christians -- so of course Obama -- following his pro-Muslim and anti-Christian leanings follows the same pattern he has of kissing up to Muslims.



Lastly -- here's a couple questions.....if you doubt the answers - look them up yourself!

-How many people in all of history have NEVER DIED??

...answer -- some people will say the answer is just one and name Jesus...but of course that's wrong. Jesus died -- surely you recall the whole cross thing and being in the tomb 3 days, right??
No, the answer is two....Enoch and Elijah -- they never died, were taken up to heaven and are still alive there and will have a chore yet to complete in the final days yet to come...
http://www.usefultrivia.com/bible_trivia/bible_trivia_009b.html


-Next question -- How many people in all of history were raised from the dead?

...the answer surprises many. Some will answer ONLY Jesus was raised from the dead....But -- There were actually quite a few...
They all died again later except Jesus..but recall Lazarus was raised from the dead, so was Jairus' daughter in the New Testament, and many of the fallen saints came out of their graves when Jesus died -- but as I said they all died again.
http://www.gospel-mysteries.net/resurrection-saints.html

The term "resurrection" is different and means not only raised but stays alive forever!


-OK - then last question -- what evidence is there that Jesus existed and that he was the Son of God and that what's in the Bible is true...?

...well, actually the evidence is overwhelming if you want to check it out...

-Not only are there literally tens of thousands of manuscripts that exist proving the first hand accounts by the people who saw all the events of the New Testament -- but even the enemies of Jesus never even tried to discount all those facts -- instead they simply tried to kill Jesus as quickly as they could then round up his followers to destroy them, too.
In fact, there really wasn't even a single person who ever tried to claim it didn't happen or that Jesus didn't exist until more than a millennium later...not to mention that even today -- two millennia later -- virtually ALL experts agree it is futile to argue Jesus did not exist -- he is perhaps the most well documented and proven person in all of history.

-Then, we have the arguments that all his close followers and Apostles would have certainly known if Jesus faked the occurrences attributed to him. They saw everything first hand and so they would have known for sure, yet everyone one of them suffered and died standing up for what they knew and said, and not one ever disputed what we now have written as the Bible.
Would they have all martyred themselves and given up everything for something they KNEW to have been false or faked? Maybe you can argue some of them would have but surely not ALL.

-Are there even NON-Biblical pieces of history..?
You betcha....the venerated author Josephus -- a Jew and a staunch NON-believer who worked for the Romans -- wrote in his historical accounts...

A) That Jesus was the Christ (not that he claimed to be but that HE WAS!), that he rose from the dead, and that he performed miracles and tens of thousands of miraculous things.

B) He made other references to Jesus and his family -- see below...
http://www.bede.org.uk/Josephus.htm


But in the end it really doesn't matter how much proof is laid on the table...
Whether you do it now, later, or much, much later -- you will some day have to decide for yourself just who He was and how you should respond. But the question will have to be answered.
BTW -- Gods in every other religion do the same thing humans do -- they get old, they fail, they even get put on life support to keep them alive a bit longer but they all die...
