Authorities: Retriever mix kills, dismembers 2-month-old SC boy as dad slept during attack

SUMMERVILLE, S.C. — A 2-month-old child was killed and dismembered by a dog in his family’s South Carolina home Friday as his father slept, authorities said.

Aiden McGrew’s mother called 911 when she got home around 11 a.m. and discovered the boy’s leg was severed by a retriever mix the family had taken into the home a few weeks earlier, Dorchester County deputies said.



Suge Knight: I Don’t Think Tupac Is Really Dead




So with the excellent hologram production of Tupac onstage with Snoop Dogg at the Coachella festival, now Suge Knight is stoking the fires of urban legend, claiming that he isn’t truly convinced that Tupac is really dead, according to TMZ.

On 93.5 KDay FM this week, after radio hosts Tattoo and Cee Cee asked Knight about the allegations that he killed the iconic rapper, Knight responded, “People say, ‘God is going to judge me,’ but I got a 45-inch bullet in to my skull from grabbing, pulling him [Tupac] down [when shots were fired].”

“The person who supposedly cremated Tupac … this guy got about 3 million dollars .. personally from me … cash … and next thing I know I never heard from the guy or seen him again … he retired and left.”

When one of the hosts asked if he had ever seen Tupac’s body after he was killed, Knight added:

“Nobody seen Tupac dead…. Maybe the question is…Pac’s not really dead…Pac’s somewhere else.”

Testing the Teachers

There’s an atmosphere of grand fragility hanging over America’s colleges. The grandeur comes from the surging application rates, the international renown, the fancy new dining and athletic facilities. The fragility comes from the fact that colleges are charging more money, but it’s not clear how much actual benefit they are providing.

Colleges are supposed to produce learning. But, in their landmark study, “Academically Adrift,” Richard Arum and Josipa Roksa found that, on average, students experienced a pathetic seven percentile point gain in skills during their first two years in college and a marginal gain in the two years after that. The exact numbers are disputed, but the study suggests that nearly half the students showed no significant gain in critical thinking, complex reasoning and writing skills during their first two years in college.

Colleges today are certainly less demanding. In 1961, students spent an average of 24 hours a week studying. Today’s students spend a little more than half that time — a trend not explained by changing demographics.

Educational Preparedness Is Key in the 21st Century!



Minister Farrakhan challenges educators at 3-day conference in Chicago

“If a curriculum does not prepare a student for life itself, then it is a worthless curriculum,” said Minister Farrakhan during his August 6 keynote address wrapping up the Nation of Islam's 4th Annual Educational Conference themed: “Developing A Nation of Readers.”

Minister Farrakhan said the Western world's educational system was designed to place educators under the control of the society's elite rulers making their student's unfit to become masters of their own destinies creating perpetual servants and slaves.

“He never educated you to be a ruler! He educated you to be ruled and to love it!” said the Minister. “You are a dreamer but not bringing dreams into reality.You live in a dream world, you live in a world of illusion that's why you go to sleep at night tormented because you never have achieved your dreams!”

Creating a supreme curriculum, supreme educators for students

He challenged teachers and educators to enact God-centered solutions in an educational system that has “flatlined” and failed to cultivate and educate Black children to achieve their inherent greatness. “We have to challenge this educational system or get out of it,” said Min. Farrakhan.

 Conference organizers wanted to provide practical ways to improve teachers, administrators and schools based on techniques and curriculum that properly prepare students for life.

“Whether it be the study technology or whether it be promoting literacy, the Minister wants us to get out into the community and help eliminate illiteracy in our community, we're just making it practical and hands-on,” said Dr. Larry Muhammad.

Publisher's Note:

It is good to know that I am not alone in this assessment.  Perhaps the great teachings I'd received from my dad growing up in Bronx, N.Y. prepared me for such truths.  I hope that you, the readers, will take this article in a good spirit.  It is not about religion.  It is not about whether your faith-based is Christianity, or if you are a Muslim, or not.  It's not about whether you are a Jehovah Witness, or a Buddhist.

We - ALL OF US - must understand what is needed to educate our child[ren] with the understanding that it is their future - it is our legacy that must be preserved academically, physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

We Need "Thinkers" and "Rulers!" Not 'puppets' and 'mimickers!'
