Bronx, New York- Breaking news! There will be one final debate before Election Day. No, it’s not Hillary and “The Donald” going head-to-head for the last time; it’s Michael Kay vs.Don LaGreca, as the co-hosts debate the most relevant issues in sports on a special edition of The Michael Kay Show.
The Great Sports Debatewill air live on ESPN NY 98.7 FM Radio andYES Networkfrom6:00to7:00 PM/ET on Monday night, November 7, from the Rose Hill campus of Fordham University in The Bronx, New York. The debate will be presented in conjunction with Fordham’s Department of Communication and Media Studies, and the moderator will be Kay Show ensemble-member and ENN anchor Peter Rosenberg.
The Michael Kay Show will air live from Fordham’s historic Keating Hall during its regular time slot beginning at 3:00 PM, with the extended special debate program from 6:00-7:00 PM. The Blue Chip panel of judges assembled to vote on the winner is comprised of ESPN NYRadio’s Hahn & Humpty program co-host and former Islanders goaltender Rick DiPietro, ESPN Radio personality Bill Daughtry, the host of Knicks pre- and post-game shows and the Saturday morning Bill Daughtry Show, Giants Super Bowl champion Chris Canty, and exceptional WFUV Radio student broadcaster Drew Casey.
Will Kay have a distinct advantage being on the friendly campus confines of his alma mater Fordham, in the same building that he broadcast on WFUV Radio, the university’s public radio station, as a student? Co-host LaGreca, a product of Ramapo College, will try to turn the tables on his colleague.
TheGreat Sports Debate is the brainchild of ESPN NY Radio program director Justin Craig, who has regularly been a guest lecturer at Fordham’s Sports Communication undergraduate course at Rose Hill taught by adjunct professor John Cirillo. Students, faculty, coaches, administration and staff are all welcome on a first come first serve basis for seating.

Have you seen Donald or Ivanka Trump product labels? Almost everything is made abroad. Story by Pilar MarreroofLa Opinion
Santangelo explains that things in today’s globalized economy do not work like Trump says. In fact, if Trump decides fining US companies to build their products abroad, “it will increase their prices, forcing even more people to lose their jobs.”
Companies are going abroad because it is cheaper to produce in other countries. Donald Trump makes its products in Bangladesh and China, among other countries because it is cheaper, allowing him to sell in the U.S. at a reasonable price, Santangelo said.
The fact that Trump products are made abroad is not surprising. Nine out of ten pieces of clothing sold in the United States are made or assembled abroad and even companies that boast of having “U.S. products” produce partly abroad or some of the parts come from outside.
Can Trump change this, we asked the economist.
“It’s very difficult to bring back [to the U.S.] manufacturing jobs that are now in other countries,” Santangelo said. “To do this, we would need a manufacturing labor force and the reality is that the vast majority of our workforce and our economy is in the service area. It is not as easy as snap of fingers.”

Fordham’s Kimberley Casteline talks to local reporter Liz Dahlem about churches using high tech to reach their congregations.
Fordham’sTina Maschi, a professor at our Graduate School of Social Service, discusses this escaped (& recaptured) prisoner story out of Georgie with Georgia Public Radio’s Celeste Headlee:
Imagine escaping from prison and being on the run for nearly 50 years, only to be recaptured. That’s the story of Robert Stackowitz. He escaped from a Georgia prison in 1968, and was just recently found by authorities to be living Connecticut. His attorney Norm Pattis says Stackowitz is fully rehabilitated and in poor health, and shouldn’t return to prison. We talk with Pattis about the case. Then, Tina Maschi of Fordham University’s School of Social Service joins us to talk about the legal and social definitions of rehabilitation.

10 Ways You Can Invest Like Donald Trumpvia @LouCarlozo63 ofUS World News & World Report. Read it here.
Fordham’sKevin Mirabile, a Clinical Assistant Professor
Finance and Business Economics at the Gabelli School of Business, has this to say on the topic:
“So you want to invest like Donald Trump? It is well known that Mr. Trump has made and lost several fortunes investing in real estate, private companies, and new business ventures and that he regularly consults with high profile investment guru’s like Carl Ichan. What is not so well know is that the average investor can also invest in real estate, private equity or venture capital and even those investments suggested by Carl Ichan. Investing in these “alternative” types of investments is no longer just the domain for high net worth individuals who qualify as accredited investors and can invest in private limited partnerships dedicated to real estate, hedge fund strategies or private companies. Today, investing in alternatives, much like the Trump campaign, attracts individuals from all walks of life or income. Alternatives are now available to almost anyone frustrated by the status quo of investing only in stocks or bonds. There are mutual funds, as well as publicly traded investment vehicles called Business Development Corporations (BDCs), Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs) and Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) that are available to most anyone. Some mutual funds now even offer investor products that provide small investors exposure to private equity and hedge fund strategies. You can even profit from the advice of Carl Ichan if you make an investment in Ichan Enterprises L.P. Ichan Enterprises is publicly listed and trades on the NYSE under symbol IEP. According to the company’s website, the stock has returned over 1,000% since January 1, 2000, significantly more than the SP500 or the Russell 2000 over the same period.”

How lessons from the Black Panthers could change the food movement
viaGristwriterNathaniel Johnson
“I’d just read about the Black Panther’s history in a new book, More Than Just Food. In it, the [Fordham professor] and activist Garrett Broad argues that food is a powerful tool, but that the food movement has mostly benefited well-to-do white people. Impoverished communities need food movements that rise up from within and champion their own priorities.
“Broad takes the Black Panther Party as one of his case studies. He traces the historical line from the Black Panther’s breakfast program to the anti-hunger efforts of an offshoot, Community Services Unlimited, a nonprofit that still operates in Los Angeles, to schools serving breakfast today. The fact that many children can get breakfast at public school may well be thanks to a revolutionary act that brought down the fury of Hoover’s FBI.”

Timothy de Waal Malefyt, a professor of brand strategies and marketing at Fordham University in New York, said Trump is “an amazing brandmeister of the ‘brand called you.’ Trump champions the self-made man theme in America, one who perseveres against all odds, with struggles and trials — failed casinos and failed marriages — but has a dream — emblazoned in his name everywhere — to succeed against all odds. That brand of you is an inspiring message” for “downtrodden” voters.

Fordham’sTom De Luca, a professor of political science, spoke to Brazilian TV network, Rede Bandeirantes, about the 2016 Presidential election in the United States.
The 2016 presidential election has seen it’s fair share of “low-blows” from the candidates recently (see: Trump vs. Rubio“small hands”/SOTU water incidentwar).
Tom De Luca is the co-author of Liars! Cheaters! Evildoers! Demonization and the End of Civil Debate in American Politics(NYU Press, 2005). As the title suggests, the work proved somewhat prophetic.
Here’s Professor De Luca discussing that book on C-SPAN.
He also used to blog on demonization in politics: http://dailydemonizer.blogspot.com/

ISIS wants to erase the Middle East’s Christian history — and make a few bucks along the way
via PRI’s ‘The World’
“Physically ill,” is how Michael Peppard says he felt when he looked at the images of the destruction of St. Elijah’s.
“The tragedy that has been taking place among civilians in Syria and Iraq is paralleled now by what we’re seeing with the destruction of cultural heritage,” says Peppard, an associate professor in the department of theology at Fordham University.
Listen to/read the story here.
Peppard is the author of “The World’s Oldest Church,” which is “an ambitious attempt to combine theology and art history to tell a new story about the oldest known house of Christian worship.” Read more on the book here.
