Anyone with a bachelors degree wishing to take courses for graduate credit, whether or not he/she wishes to become a candidate for a degree, must make formal application for admission to graduate study. Admission to graduate study does not make a student a candidate for a graduate degree. Only persons who have received a letter of admission from the Dean of Graduate Studies may enroll in graduate courses. An applicant may be admitted at the beginning of any semester. The Graduate Studies Office, however, cannot guarantee that an application will be processed if it does not arrive at least fourteen (14) days prior to the opening date of a semester or session. All documents used for admission purposes become the property of The University of Tennessee at Martin and will not be returned. Students have the right to review their individual files.
Admission requirements for the individual programs can be found on the following pages: MAc and MBA in Business Administration, page 249, M.S. in Education, page 250, M.S. in Human Environmental Sciences, page 251.
Students who have already been admitted to the graduate school but have not been enrolled for one semester (excluding summer) must submit an updated application form in order to reactivate the file.
1. Obtain an application for admission from the Graduate Studies Office, The University of Tennessee at Martin, Martin, Tennessee, 38238.
2. Return the completed application form with a check or money order for the $25 nonrefundable application fee ($50 for foreign students).
3. Request the registrars of all colleges and universities attended to send one official transcript directly to the Graduate Studies Office.
4. Request that your scores on the appropriate qualifying examination be sent directly to the Graduate Studies Office by the testing agency. NTE scores may be certified by the superintendent's office of school systems in which one has worked if the score is no longer available from the testing agency.
5. Foreign students must also follow the special instructions detailed on page 245.
A decision on admission cannot be made until all of these procedures have been completed and official documents have been received. Students who have not been admitted may not register for classes.
Each applicant is responsible for arranging the appropriate qualifying examination and for requesting the transmission of scores directly to the Graduate Studies Office from the Educational Testing Service.
Application forms may be obtained from the Educational Testing Service, Princeton, New Jersey 08450, or from the UT Martin Graduate Studies Office. The completed application form and examination fee must reach the proper office at the Educational Testing Service approximately one month in advance of the test date (the dates are listed on the application). Approximately six weeks should be allowed for examination results to reach the University.
The University of Tennessee at Martin has an active foreign student program. The University wishes to encourage qualified degree seeking graduate students from other countries, but in fairness to such students, must emphasize that no fellowships or other financial aid are currently available for beginning foreign students.
Applicants for graduate school admission from foreign countries must furnish the following in addition to meeting all entrance requirements:
1. A completed, signed application including an accurate chronological outline of all previous education.
2. Official school or university transcript(s) with certified translations if the records are in a language other than English. Transcripts must include descriptive titles of courses studied and grades gained in final examinations.
3. Draft or money order for the $50 non-refundable application fee.
4. Official report of a score of at least 525 on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) taken within the last two years, unless the applicants native language is English or the applicant has earned a degree within the past three years from a regionally accredited college or university in the United States which he or she has attended for at least three years.
5. A completed, signed confidential financial statement. (The University reserves the right to require foreign students to submit a deposit before registering for classes.)
6. A completed health statement on the form provided by the University.
7. A brief handwritten statement about the course of study the student plans to follow and how it relates to his/her career objectives.
All materials should be in the International Programs Office well in advance of the semester in which the applicant plans to enroll. An accepted applicant will be issued a letter of admission and an I-20 form, which will be necessary to obtain a student visa. Students must appear on campus no later than the date specified on the I-20 form.
A foreign student whose use of the English language appears to be inadequate after he/she arrives at the University will be required to take an English proficiency examination. If the student cannot pass this examination, he/she will be required to enroll in a course in English for foreign students.
Applicants may be admitted as degree seeking (Unconditional, Conditional, or Unclassified) or non-degree as listed below. Degree seeking applicants must meet the University requirements listed above under Types of Admission.

The student must have satisfactorily completed prerequisites to advanced courses in the selected areas in human environmental sciences. Graduates of curricula other than human environmental sciences may have acquired sufficient backgrounds in related sciences and may be accepted. Each applicant's request for admission to the program and to specific courses will be evaluated for the need for undergraduate prerequisites.
Admission to the Dietetic Internship Program (DI) is in addition to admission to the university. Applicants must meet the following criteria to be considered for admission to the clinical portion of the Dietetic Internship Program (DI) in dietetics under Dietetics option of the Masters Program. The applications are screened for selection on a competitive basis by a committee. Exceptions to minimum requirements will be screened for possible acceptance into the program.
1. Minimum of 3.00 cumulative GPA on a 4.00 Scale or equivalent.
2. Verification statement showing completion of current Plan IV or DPD.
3. Recency of education in courses related to practice. If the degree is over 5 years old, 6 credit hours of college coursework must be taken; if degree is over 10 years old, 12 credit hours of coursework are required.
4. Preference given to applicants whose combined verbal and quantitative GRE scores equal or exceed 900.
Each graduate student assumes full responsibility for knowledge of the rules and regulations of The Graduate Program and departmental requirements concerning the individual degree program. A statement on student rights is included in the Student Handbook. Copies of the Handbook are available in the Office of Student Affairs.
If a student no longer wishes to be a graduate student, he/she must complete a Withdrawal from Graduate Studies form available in the Graduate Studies Office. If the student later wishes to be readmitted to Graduate Studies, he/she must complete an application for admission, pay the non-refundable application fee, and meet admission requirements in effect at that time.
First Week: Course changes may be made during the first week of the semester if approved by the advisor.
Dropping Courses Within First Seven Weeks: At the discretion of a students advisor, a course may be dropped during the first seven weeks of a semester. Withdrawals executed during the first week will not appear on the students academic record. A student who drops a course during the second through fourth weeks will receive an automatic WD (withdrawal). A student who drops a course during the fifth through seventh weeks will receive a WP or WF, based upon the instructors judgment of the students performance at the time of withdrawal. If an advisor refuses permission, the student cannot drop the course. The instructors permission, however, is not required.
Dropping Courses After First Seven Weeks: If a course is dropped after the first seven weeks of a semester, the grade of F shall automatically be assigned unless it can be clearly demonstrated that one of the following exists:
a. illness or injury of the student as verified by the student health service or private physician;
b. serious personal or family problems as verified by the student's parents, minister, physician, etc.;
c. necessary change in work schedule as verified by the student's employer;
d. change of major to a program in which the course that the student wishes to drop would not normally be used in satisfying degree requirements. Acceptance of the student into the new program should be verified by the dean of the school administering the program. In the event of such certification the student shall receive the grade of WP (signifying passing at the time of withdrawal), or the grade of WF (signifying failure), as indicated by the instructor.
Withdrawing From University (Dropping All Coursework): If a student wishes to withdraw from the University (drop all coursework), he/she must do so officially through the Office of Student Affairs. Failure to withdraw properly may result in the assignment of a failing grade for each course at the end of the term. For an explanation of the assignment of grades for students withdrawing from the university, see the sections above.
A full load is 9 semester hours. Four hours will be considered a half-time load and 6 hours will be considered a three-quarter load. Undergraduate hours taken to meet degree requirements will be included with all graduate hours to determine course load.
The maximum load for a graduate student is 15 semester hours during Fall and Spring semesters and 6 semester hours per session during Summer. To register for more than the maximum during any semester requires approval of the appropriate Graduate Coordinator.
Students who are employed full-time must secure permission from the appropriate Graduate Coordinator to enroll for more than 6 hours of graduate course work. Graduate assistants and others who have part-time duties with the University may only enroll for an appropriate fraction of the maximum load such as follows:
Assistants employed 20 hours per
weekmaximum of 9 semester hours.
Assistants employed 15 hours per weekmaximum of 12 semester hours.
Assistants employed 12 hours per weekmaximum of 15 semester hours.
Courses numbered 500 and above are for graduate credit. Courses in the 700 group are for graduate students only. Courses in the 500 and 600 groups are the same as specified 300 and 400 level courses for undergraduates but have additional requirements beyond those expected of undergraduate students. They may be taken for graduate credit when offered in the course schedule under the 500/600 number if the student has not already completed the undergraduate equivalent. The last two digits for these 500/600 level graduate courses are the same as their undergraduate equivalents.
The course descriptions for 500 level courses appear in numeric sequence under the equivalent 300 level course. The 500 number appears in parentheses after the 300 number. No more than three semester hours of 500 level course work may be applied toward a degree. The course descriptions for 600 level courses appear in numeric sequence under the equivalent 400 level course. The 600 number appears in parentheses after the 400 number.
Graduate study in any department must be preceded by sufficient undergraduate work in the major field and/or related areas to satisfy the department that the student has adequate back-ground for graduate work in that field. The catalog lists some, but not necessarily all prerequi-sites, since these may vary with the individual students background, goals, and competencies.
Graduate students taking undergraduate prerequisite courses must make a C or better in each course. Students who do not achieve the required grade in undergraduate prerequisite courses will not be allowed to take additional graduate coursework until a satisfactory grade is achieved in the undergraduate course(s) in question.
A course substitution request may be filed when there is just cause for the substitution (e.g., course was previously taken for undergraduate credit). To avoid possible delay in graduation, students should obtain permission from the advisor, the graduate coordinator, and the School Committee prior to scheduling a course which they believe can be substituted for a required course. This procedure should be followed especially when an advisor recommends a course in apparent contradiction to the requirements set forth in the catalog.
Graduate students wishing to petition for changes in their program or for other matters should consult with their advisor.
The appropriate forms for submission of course substitution and overload requests or student petitions may be obtained from the graduate program coordinator. Graduate Council approval is also necessary, in addition to the approvals stated previously, for any requests involving University policy. If the petition warrants action by the Graduate Council, the student will be notified both of the meeting date and of the final decision by the Dean of Graduate Studies.
A maximum of six semester hours completed at a regionally accredited institution may be transferred into a students masters program if all of the following conditions are met:
1. if taken for graduate residence credit, i.e. no correspondence or extension credit allowed (see below);
2. if passed with a grade of B or better;
3. if part of an otherwise satisfactory graduate program (B average);
4. if the transferred course work was not earned more than six years prior to the semester in which the student completes all degree requirements; and
5. if approved by the students advisor, the appropriate graduate coordinator, and the Dean of Graduate Studies. NOTE: If already matriculated at UT Martin, approval should be obtained before enrolling in the proposed course(s).
Transferred work will not be counted in computing the grade point average on courses completed in the graduate program.
The total number of transferred residence courses may exceed six semester hours when within the University of Tennessee system. Credits transferred into the masters program will not reduce the residence requirements. No correspondence work may be used to meet masters degree requirements. No credit designated as extension credit at other institutions may be transferred into a students masters program.
Graduate students are required to make an overall minimum grade point average of 3.00 (B) in courses taken for graduate credit. Graduate credit is allowed only for courses completed with grades A, B, C, and P (Pass or Progress). Grades of D or F are counted in computing the scholastic average but carry no credit toward graduation. Only the subsequent grade received in any course which is approved for repeat (see below) will be used in calculation of the grade point average. Transferred work will not be counted in computing the grade point average of courses completed in the graduate program. The grade of P (Progress) or N (Insufficient Progress) will be assigned to students registered for thesis or final project courses.
The work of a student who is passing a course satisfactorily but cannot complete all the requirements due to illness, accident, or unavoidable circumstances may be reported as Incomplete (I). Any faculty member may give an "Incomplete" (I) in any course to a student whom the faculty member regards as deficient in English in that course, but who is otherwise passing. The "Incomplete" (I) will be removed when the Department of English certifies to the instructor that the student has made the necessary improvement. It is expected that the student will remove the Incomplete during the next semester after it is received. The student granted a bona fide I by his/her instructor may have the first five weeks of the next regular semester to erase the Incomplete before it is computed as an F. Thereafter, it shall be computed as an F until changed by student action within one calendar year of receiving the I or by automatic action after one calendar year when the I shall become a permanent F. The student need not be enrolled to remove the Incomplete.
When a graduate student wishes to appeal a grade, the appeal process must be initiated within the first three weeks of the next semester. The aggrieved student shall first discuss the matter with the faculty member involved to see if there is some error or misunderstanding which can be resolved between them. Failing this, the student should follow the appeal process that is described in the Student Handbook if he/she wishes to pursue the matter.
No graduate student will be allowed to repeat a course for the purpose of raising a grade. Students wishing to repeat required courses in which they have received a grade of D or F must have the prior approval of their advisor, the graduate program coordinator, and the Dean of Graduate Studies. Violation of these regulations will result in the deletion of the grade and credit for the invalid repeat from the official University records. A students enrollment in UT Martins equivalent of any non-transferrable course does not constitute a repeat.
1. Graduate students admitted on a Conditional basis and dismissed for failure to meet the requirements specified in their letter of admission may not apply for reinstatement to the same major.
2. Graduate students who fail to maintain a cumulative 3.00 average will automatically be placed on academic probation. Such students will be continued on probation until a 3.00 cumulative average is achieved as long as they maintain a 3.00 semester average on graduate work during the probationary period. If they fail to achieve a 3.00 semester average any semester during the probation period, they will be dropped from the Graduate School.
MBA and MAc students who are placed on probation must maintain a 3.00 semester average and regain an overall 3.00 GPA within the next 12 semester hours of graduate coursework taken or be dropped from the program. All graduate courses scheduled during the semester in which the twelfth graduate hour is completed will be used in calculating the grade point average.
3. Students dropped from the program for reasons outlined in #2 above may, upon recommendation of the appropriate coordinator, be reinstated. Reinstatement, however, is not automatic. The student must consult with the appropriate graduate coordinator who then will submit a recommendation to the Dean of Graduate Studies before action can be taken on the matter. A student may be reinstated through this process only once.
4. A student may appeal a negative decision for reinstatement by sending a written statement to the Graduate Council. The student will be notified when the petition will be brought before the Council and will have an opportunity to appear in person to present his/her case. The Dean of Graduate Studies will notify the student of the Councils decision.
The Graduate Coordinator in the students major area is the general advisor for all graduate students in that school. A permanent advisor in his/her major should be appointed during the first semester of enrollment.
An Intent to Graduate Card must be filed no later than the beginning of the semester prior to the anticipated final semester. This card may be obtained from the advisor or graduate coordinator.FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The minimum residence requirement for the masters degree is the equivalent of two semesters of full-time graduate study (18 semester hours). Most programs require a minimum of 30 hours for the thesis option and 36 hours for the non-thesis option. Refer to the individual program requirements for exceptions.
The time limit for the use of graduate credit toward a masters degree is six years from the beginning date of the earliest course applied toward the degree. Normally, this time limit may not be extended. In exceptional cases, courses taken beyond this period may be recognized by special written examination if given prior approval by the Graduate Council.
Students in Human Environmental Sciences may choose to write a thesis. This option is not available for students in Business Administration or Education.
The students major professor serves as chairman of the thesis committee. The committee also includes two other graduate faculty members. If a student does not have a minor, all members may be from the major department. If a student does have a minor, one member from the minor department shall be included on the committee. A student should consult the appropriate graduate coordinator regarding the formation of the thesis committee at the time the thesis option is elected. The thesis courses (Human Environmental Sciences 701-702) should be taken consecutively. Only one course may be selected each semester.
Human Environmental Sciences students schedule a regular conference with their thesis committee chairman and periodic evaluation conferences with members of their thesis committee to assess strengths and weaknesses. A statement of progress is prepared to assist in planning the balance of the graduate program.
Theses are to follow the style of the current Thesis and Dissertation Manual of the Tennessee Conference of Graduate Schools which is available at the UT Martin Bookstore. It is the responsibility of the student to secure and comply with these guidelines.
Two unbound final copies of the committee-approved thesis must be presented to the Dean of Graduate Studies no later than two weeks before the end of the semester (including final exams) in which the student expects to graduate. The student must make any necessary corrections in the unbound copies of the thesis in the Graduate Studies Office no later than one week before the end of the semester. The student must be enrolled for thesis credit the term the thesis is accepted. Exception: An approved thesis submitted to the Graduate Studies Office on the Friday before registration for the semester in which the student will graduate.
Use of Human Subjects in Research
Federal laws require that research projects (whether undertaken by students or faculty members) involving human subjects be designed to protect the physical, psychological, and emotional well-being of these subjects. Current regulations state that formal protection approval must be obtained if human subjects are used other than in a normal educational setting or if those subjects are at risk because of physical intrusion or privacy violation. Approval forms may be obtained from the Research Office.
A student who elects this option (available for all degree programs) must meet the requirements as stated for his/her degree. Courses must be approved in advance by his/her advisor. A written comprehensive examination is required and will be scheduled during the final semester of coursework.
Master Research Project
Students in the Master of Science in Education with a major in Teaching (if professionally licensed to teach) must complete a Master Research Project for their culminating experience during their last two semesters.

[Edit. - Front Page'd]
ESPN college basketball writer Eammon Brennan has just completed a series of articles rating the best and worst coaching jobs in the country by conference. Not surprising that the Boston College job was not looked at as one of the best jobs in the ACC, but the shock might have been that it was picked dead last -- 12 of 12, and I am sure if you add Syracuse and Pittsburgh, 14 out of 14.
Lots of talk as usual of the pitfall of coaching a program in a pro sports town, but to say that John Wooden would have trouble rebuilding the program, that's pretty strong stuff.
The BC basketball program has been up and down over the past 30 years, but has certainly experienced more success than Miami, Virginia Tech, Clemson and Florida State, despite its status at present. Big East regular season and tournament championships, a trip to the ACC tournament title game, a 20-0 Big East start, 3 trips to the Elite 8 and a consistent presence in the NCAA tournament speaks to a program that although perhaps not elite, is certainly one that should be respected in college basketball circles.
Yet another grenade tossed at the scarred battlefield that is currently Chestnut Hill.

text: There is a story that I haven't seen yet...maybe it's been written, but like I said, I haven't seen it yet. Why no mention of Pierre Garcon? I happen to think that he may possibly be the weapon that kills the Jets. Last weekend, the Jets played a lot of man to man coverage. The talk has been that Revis will shut down Reggie (which I don't believe for a minute), yet no mention of what Garcon is capable of against man to man defense. I think if NY tries the same strategy against the Colts that was used against San Diego, Garcon and possibly Collie could go off big this Sunday with the attention being given to Wayne and Clark. There has been talk that the Colts won't have the opportunity to go deep because of the Jets pass defense. I think not. The only thing that will keep the Colts from going deep would be an excess of the blitz, which may put Peyton on the ground a time or two, but eventually will get the Jets cut to peices with three step or less drop passes, as well as draws and screens. Add to this the fact that a rookie quarterback facing two healthy all pro defensive ends almost quarantees turnovers. I think the Colts burn NY early, with 10 - 14 points, and force Sanchez to pass, which ultimately will play directly into our hands. Watch Garcon this weekend, I think he will have a career game, and to a lesser degree, Collie too. Watchoo think?

Poetry Competition Winners Announced Tonight!
The Alan Sillitoe Poetry Competition closed to entrants on 10January, and the adjudication – by Ruth Fainlight – was completed by 31 January. So why the delay in announcing the winners?
Well, not only did we want to generate some Hitchcock-like suspense, but we also felt that a competition boasting £400 in prize money and which raised over £850 towards the memorial fund deserved a proper winners' event.
So join us tonight at the Nottingham Contemporary, Weekday Cross, Nottingham NG1 2GB, from 7.30pm. Compere and committee chairman David Sillitoe will be introducing an evening of poetry, music, boozing and good company – all you need, really, for a convivial Friday night out. Ruth Fainlight will be presenting the winning poems, and there'll be more poetry courtesy of Cathy Grindrod and Jeremy Duffield – two of the most renowned figures on the local literary scene – while Blue Yonder will be playing three sets (yup, you read that right: three), including their classic 'Saturday Night and Sunday Morning' influenced track "Propaganda".
You'll have to wait till the weekend to read the winning poems on the website (exact "go live" date and time dependant on the webmaster's hangover), so come along to the Nottingham Contemporary tonight, hear the winning poems, listen some great music and raise a few jars. We'll see you there!
For more information, see the Nottingham Contemporary or LeftLion websites .

A 7-year old Galesburg boy has died after a dog attack. Police say the attack happened when Ryan Maxwell was playing with other kids in the backyard of a home he was visiting. Officers were called and were able to get the dog off the boy, but then it turned on them and was shot. 7-year old Maxwell was taken to a hospital, where he died.
"I can't remember it happening in my 24-years here. Have we had dog bites? Yes, we have like every other city. Have we had dog attacks like every other city? Yes, but not to this extent. This is a tragedy there's no other way to put it," says Captain Rod Riggs of the Galesburg Police Department.
Galesburg police are investigating why the dog attacked the boy. At the same time Maxwell's classmates are remembering and honoring the 2nd grader.
At Nielson Elementary School in Galesburg everyone is remembering Ryan Maxwell.
"He was a good boy, he was always very helpful, good with his classmates, well liked and he was a good friend," says Principal Matthew LeClere.
A sign in front of the school says "Ryan, We Will Remember You." The sign is not the only way the 2nd grader is being honored. Maxwell's desk is filled with cards, flowers and bears. Also, the entire school is wearing a special pin.
"Our school colors are black, silver and white," adds LeClere, "So we had these ribbons made up to help us remember Ryan."
To help students cope with Maxwell's death grief counselors were brought in. Students were told in their individual classrooms, except for the 2nd graders, Maxwell's classmates for the past 3-years.
"He's touched a lot of lives," says LeClere, "For that particular group we put all those kids together in one room and we talked about it."
Word started to spread on Saturday that Maxwell was killed in the dog attack. The principal alerted parents and teachers. Grief counselors were brought in Sunday and the school administrators visited Maxwell's family.
"We made a trip over to see the child's mother. We reached out to her and offered her any support as well," says LeClere.
The school is planning a benefit to help with expenses. If you would like to make a donation you can send it to F&M Bank in Galesburg. To leave your condolences for the family, click here.

text: I don't like the idea proposed by Greg Shiano coach of of the Tamba Bay Bucaneers to eliminate kickoffs from the NFL the proposed rule change would turn the kickoff into a punt situation or a forth down try to substitute for the Onside kick. I think a better idea would be to push the kickoff back to the 30 yard line and make touchbacks automatic if the ball reaches the endzone to avoid hard high speed collisions. What do you guys think?

News: AZ Tells Rap Vets To Fall Back For Drake & J. Cole, "The Old Cats Can't Do It Forever" [Video]
Friday, Dec 10, 2010 1:40PM
New York rap veteran AZ recently shared his views on rap's young elite crew of emcees like J. Cole and Drake and why older artists shouldn't shun hip-hop's new blood.
In addition to J. Cole and Drizzy, AZ admitted to being hip to burgeoning star Wiz Khalifa's buzz.
"Listen, Drake is kicking it and his flow is what's needed," AZ said in an interview with Mikey T The Movie Star. "You got the Wiz Khalifa, you got the J. Cole, you got a couple of cats that are laying it down and they're trying to keep [hip-hop] alive. You gotta give somebody a chance. You know what I'm saying? The old cats can't do it forever. You know what I mean? Those [new artists] that are out, I appreciate it." (Movie Star Status DVD)
In October, rap pioneer DJ Premier gave props to Drake and Cole's music.
"[Drake] brought lyricism back," he said of the Toronto-native. "For a 22-year-old man, he brought lyricism back. When [Gang Starr's] Step In The Arena came out, I was 22-years-old. And I just thought about it, I was like, 'D*mn, I was a youngster.' I wasn't 30, 31. I was 22 and coming with heat. And that's why I like that he's bringing stuff back....J. Cole, I like that he's bringing lyrics back. Everything doesn't have to be super, over-lyrical, but we do pride ourselves on cats that can spit, because [rap music] was always a competition about who got the dopest rhymes." (XXL Mag)
Preemo later defended his decision to co-sign the two emcees and challenged critics to name better artists helping the state of hip-hop.
"To those people who typed that [I shouldn't have co-signed them,] how many other 22 and 23-year-old that's out right now that's relevant, that's got some lyrics that's banging or any wordplay for that matter," Premier said in an interview. "Send them to me or send me their MP3, if it's banging like that, I'ma play it. I don't really play Drake on my show, I got a radio show every Friday that breaks underground hip-hop, I don't play Drake on my show -- I like him and what can you say about him that you don't like? His stage presence had to improve a little bit, he worked on that now. I went to his concert at Radio City. J. Cole is not wack, he's got lyrics. How can you say that? And then they're saying 'How can you not say Joell Ortiz?' Joell Ortiz has been out for a long time. Y'all are just getting up on it, you late motherf*cker. You're a computer f*ck, I'm a computer f*ck too but you're a computer f*ck-hole. Give them a corny name, f*ck-hole, that's not a name I'd normally say -- but put them in the corny box." (All Hip Hop)
Last month, AZ announced plans to put down the microphone following next year's release of his Doe or Die 2 solo album.
"I think after [my next album] Doe or Die 2, I'ma wrap it up," AZ revealed in an interview. "It's been fun, it's been fun, I did good. You gotta go out like [undefeated boxer Floyd] Mayweather. Mayweather go out, he'll jump back in but he's gonna go out without scars. So I'm cool, I did a good job." (Movie Star Status DVD)

The three-legged crow is also drawn into the uniform of Japanese national soccer team. In the 1930s, the crow became the symbol of the Japanese Football Association and the emblem of the national team. It is said that it was done so in order to honor Kakunosuke Nakamura who spread modern soccer to Japan. It is a symbol derived from the crow drawn at the Kumano Shrine in his hometown Wakayama. That crow is a mystic bird with a wingspan of 150 cm, called Yatagarasu.
In Japanese mythology Yatagarasu is the guide of the emperors army. According to it, a crow guided Emperor Jinmu, the god that created Japan, eastwards. An intimidating three-legged crow is also present in flags representing Japans right wing groups. It is only natural for such right wing groups claiming to be the guards of the emperor to use the crow. Since the right wings believe in Amaterasu Omikami as the sun god that created Japan, the three-legged crow might be their appropriate symbol, after all.
In case of replacing the cracked national stamp, the Ministry of Government Administration and Home Affairs is reviewing engraving the Samjokoh. They say that there are many opinions suggesting the three-legged crow rather than the phoenix, the dragon and white tiger. As time passed by and dynasties changed from Koryo to Chosun, the three-legged crows image changed into a two-legged bird that protects the south. Hence, it is different from Japans three-legged variation.
However, for contemporary people crow is neither a sacred nor friendly bird. Rather it conjures images of an ugly, aggressive pest that scavenges garbage. Apart from the images of crow, do we need after all, to engrave a mutant bird with three legs into our national stamp?

Recovering deleted files with Scalpel
The Knife
The Scalpel file carver helps users restore what they thought were lost files.
You just need to delete the pesky backup files for the project, and then you're off for home. However,
rm *~ can quickly be mistyped as
rm * ~, thus deleting all the files from the current directory. But, perhaps all is not lost: Deleted data usually is not dumped directly into a black hole. The operating system typically only deletes the metadata, such as file name, owner, and location. The user data is kept on the storage medium until it is overwritten.
Linux has a number of file carvers, which are programs designed for restoring such data. These tools analyze a disk for byte patterns that match the file headers and footers and interpret everything between the two as belonging to the file. This approach works as long as the header and footer are clear, the file is not fragmented, and the file was not encrypted.
When a footer is missing or not recognized, the carver just writes everything to the recovery file until it encounters the next header. Therefore, besides fragmented files and those with poorly discernible ends, those that contain other files – such as text documents with embedded graphics – also cause problems. If you use a file carver, you should not expect miracles but just hope for the best.

Making site change size for different size monitors?
I know this has probably been asked 1000 times but I cannot find the answer.
I want to make the website adjust so it looks good in a 17" and a 22" monitor. Is there some kind of CSS code I can put it that I can accomplish this?
Again sorry for the newb question but I am having a brain fart today.Thanks In Advance
Jul 21, 2011, 13:32 #2
Your only real option here is to use a liquid (fluid) or elastic layout that adjusts to the size of the "canvas." There are scripts out there which allow for multiple stylesheets, so you could create multiple sizes for your site and allow the user to switch back and forth, but the liquid/elastic layout is far more sensible IMO.

One option is to use media queries, so that you create maybe 4 or 5 different versions of the layout, and then the browser will pick the appropriate one based on window size.

So how would you handle a 22" monitor with a screen width of 1200px and another one with a screen width of 1400px, and another one with a width of 1900px?
Next, what if one user of a 22" monitor has two browsers open side by side, comparing two online shops perhaps?
Basically, design a site to look good on an average size (in pixels) monitor, and remember that trying to read 15 - 20" long lines of text and then find the beginning of the next line of text is tricky.Dr John

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Titans linebacker Colin McCarthy and receiver Kenny Britt both are questionable for Sunday's game against Minnesota. McCarthy at least has practiced, while Britt has not seen any action in two consecutive weeks due to his sprained left ankle.
McCarthy has not played since injuring the ankle in the season opener against New England. He practiced Wednesday and was limited Friday.
Coach Mike Munchak says they will have to see how McCarthy is Sunday and may have to limit how much he plays.
Britt will test his ankle Saturday and before the game Sunday to determine if he can play.
Munchak says there's no reason to play them if the Titans don't feel they can help, especially facing a quick turnaround hosting Pittsburgh on Thursday.

BOX ELDER, S.D. (AP) - A Box Elder man is accused of trying to burn down his mobile home while his live-in girlfriend and another man were inside.
Joseph Hodges, 29, is charged with arson and reckless burning - charges that could land him in prison for 35 years if he's convicted.
It was not immediately clear if he had obtained a lawyer.
Authorities say the two people inside the home when it went up in flames about 5 a.m. Thursday were able to get out safely.

The Gone-Away World by Nick Harkaway
I don't think I've ever posted before on this blog about any books that I've read... and since this may just be the first, it's only fitting that the book in question is one that I thoroughly enjoyed. "The Gone-Away World" by Nick Harkaway was a rollicking good read with a fantastic twist; and a brilliant new slant on the whole "apocalyptic post-war earth scenario". (It's also worth mentioning that this is his debut novel. And what a cracker it is. I'm afraid he may have set the bar very high for himself...)
As much as I'd like to try and describe what the book is actually about (the book jacket does NOT do it justice) it's just too difficult. I mean, look what the author himself says:
"It's really, really hard to describe to someone who hasn't read it. I have trouble. So do most booksellers. It's an adventure story, in that the characters have adventures, but not everyone who loves it usually likes that kind of thing. It's a war story, in that there's a war in it which changes everything, but it's not a guns-and-naked steel story. It's a love story, because people love, and they do crazy, wonderful, awful things for love – but… it's not a romance.
And yes, as you may have heard, there are ninjas. Very few serious books have ninjas. This is one of them. It's also a comedy, of course, because serious things are funny.
Beyond that, though, despite the fact that four billion people die and very awful things happen to our heroes, it's a book which makes people smile. A friend of mine said it was like watching a seal play with a ball.
See how that might be hard to describe?"
One thing is sure though, I'll be keeping an eye out for any other books by Mr Harkaway.

Detroit has a very good shot at getting the second Wild Card slot in the NFC. If that stands, they will travel to the number 3 seed for the WC round of the playoffs. It's looking like either New Orleans or San Francisco will get that slot, so which team would you rather see Detroit play?
Personally, I feel more comfortable with Detroit going out west to San Francisco than down south to New Orleans. The Super Dome is a notoriously tough place to play and I think the Saints are a better team than the 49ers. I actually like Detroit's chances against the 49ers, especially if Fairley, Houston, and Delmas are all back in the line-up.

Reporter: Melinda Zosh
Lynchburg, VA - Easter's a time for many churches to hold special services. And Court Street United Methodist in Lynchburg was one of them.
The choir sang songs of Christ's resurrection during the one-hour service.And it was a packed house of about 250 people at the 11 a.m. service.
Church leaders say they usually see about 100 members most Sundays. They say Christ's resurrection is a special celebration to them.
"It's the idea that He died for our sins, and for the rest of our lives we have nothing to do but to praise Him and spread His love to others and that really is the message of Easter," said minister's assistant Patrick Pillow.
Church leaders say they welcome anyone in the community to attend their regular services. Services start at 11 a.m. on Sundays with Sunday school at 9:45.

A University of Arizona employee is the victim of a strong arm robbery that happened earlier this morning at a parking garage on campus.
The robbery took place in the Highland Garage, (1201 N. Highland). According to the victim he was approached by the suspect, who then stole what the employee's property and fled the garage on foot.
The suspect is described as a dark skinned male, 25 to 30 years old, wearing a black long-sleeved shirt with an orange and black logo on the left sleeve, with faded and baggy blue jeans. The victim also said the suspect had a tattoo on his left hand that could possibly be a rose.
According to U of A police the suspect did not show or imply a weapon, and the victim was not injured.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call 911 or 88-CRIME.
The U of A Police would also like to remind students and employees about the following safety tips:
1. Remain alert and aware of your surroundings and the people in your vicinity at all times.
2. Save important phones calls for a later time. Talking on cell phones or using other electronic devices when walking, biking, or driving are distractions and divert your attention away from your surroundings.
3. At night, travel in well-lighted areas. Avoid "shortcuts" through dark or deserted areas. Use the buddy system and travel with a group.
4. Utilize ASUA Safe Ride for a free way to travel between UA buildings and lots at night. Call: 520-621-SAFE.
5. If you feel threatened or suspect you are being followed, walk toward well-lighted areas where there are people. Call 9-1-1 immediately!
6. Emergency blue light phones give you direct access to UAPD with the push of a button. Know where they are located at all times.

LAS VEGAS -- In the next few years, more hybrid and all electric cars will come on the market providing plenty of options for car buyers.
There was a look into the automotive future Friday at the Community College of Southern Nevada. Several vehicles that run on propane, hydrogen and electricity were featured. Automotive students at CSN got a chance to drive them to see just how quiet and clean they run. It's all part of the National Alternative Fuel Odyssey Day. A day to show automotive students like Josh Mcelry what types of cars he'll be working on someday.
"It's much quieter, much smoother, much more fluid. Everything works together," said Mcelry, CSN automotive student.
"I think electric power, hydrogen and plug-in hybrids, all that eight years ago was, 'boy, that's a fantasy. That's going to take a generation to perfect.' Look where we are today? That is stuff being manufactured today in quantity," said Dan Hyde, city of Las Vegas.
Among the featured vehicles was the new hybrid school bus currently being used by the Clark County School District. It has less emissions, runs on electricity and bio-diesel fuel, and gets better mileage than the older school buses.
The event also showed off green taxi- cabs being used by Nevada Checker Cab Corporation. They run on propane which burns cleaner than regular gas.
Hyde also believes this type of greener technology will provide more jobs in the future and lessen Americans dependence on foreign oil.

Tifton-- Citizens in the city of Tifton also paid homage to the work of American Soldiers on this veterans day.
At a ceremony at Veterans park in Tifton a Blue Star marker was added to the city's War monument memorial.
Organizers also unveiled a marker in memory of retired Veteran's Affairs Worker Mary Hancock who was kidnapped and murdered in Tifton earlier this year.
Hancock's Daughter Jackie Shaddix says for her the marker will be a constant reminder of her mother.
"Its something that we can always come back to. Things and homes come and go but this will always be here," says Shaddix.
31-year old Waylon Holsenbeck was arrested in July for Hancock's murder. He is currently awaiting a trial.

another derogatory term for an italian. A greaseball is someone who looks like they don't take showers all that often. Italians seem to be naturally greasy and unheigenic. Therefore this name was made to describe this certain breed of italians who lack etiquette and basic hygeine.

Health board: We know we can do better
Cardiff and Vale University Health Board says it has developed "a detailed action plan to make sure that we are addressing all areas" of concern, and the Royal College of Surgeons will visit again in September to see if there has been improvement.
The health board is looking at all options to increase cardiac surgery capacity, and looking at proposals to get patients treated more quickly.
Chief Executive Alun Cairns said the health board is working with surgeons "on a range of actions", and looking at what extra capacity could be provided, and improving how it manages emergency, care.
– Adam Cairns, Chief Executive of Cardiff and Vale University Health Board
We know that we can do better and we have given priority to the issues raised in the RCS report.One of the main areas of concern has been the pressure on unscheduled care, seen here in Cardiff and the Vale, Wales and across the UK, and the impact that has on other services.
A great deal of engaging with clinical teams and partners such as the third sector and Local Authorities has been done over these issues and a number of pieces of work, directed and driven by clinical staff, are now starting to take effect.

Class is very fair. Grading is fair. Great teacher and very interesting teacher!
He seemed like he was going to be kind of a tough grader but definitely wasn't. You're allowed 5 absences but he cancelled class like 5 times so there's that. There are no exams or quizzes or awkward discussions. You have about two short papers and weekly journals.
He seemed like he was going to be kind of tough but cancelled class all the time and we didn't even get to two of the books we were supposed to read. No quizzes or exams just two papers and weekly journals. Easy enough.
Classes were always interesting, especially when he talked about his own crazy personal experiences. Books were good except for the last one which was hard to understand. MAKE SURE TO READ FOR CLASS!!! You can't bs having read and not having read and its a big deal in his class. Grading wise hes great, and as long as you try you'll get at least a B
He's a pretty easy grader. He went over "how to make an argument" for an entire class, so if you're an English major he'll probably think your essays are awesome. He wastes a lot of time going on about certain scenes in the novels that aren't that important. Did NOT get to all of the books on the syllabus. BUT as a person, he's really really cool.
Mr. Freeburg is one of the funniest, most personable teachers i've ever had. he is such a joy to be around. i truly think he is one of the most AMAZING teachers at U of I. he is so passionate about african american literature, and he is so REAL with his students. You would be LUCKY to have this professor. He's awesome.
One of the best classes I ever had!!!!!
Professor was tough. I learned a lot. Take him if you want your money's worth from an English degree.
So friendly, clear, helpful, & approachable. He's easy to please. As long as he sees you're trying & you use his criticisms on future work, he grades well. The reading is hard but you're reading the authors themselves instead of books about the authors like other LIT classes do. I gained a lot of perspective in his class & honed my writing skills.
I disliked this man so much that I have gone out of my way to disparage him here, despite having dropped his summer class. He is so bad that it takes some creativity to reason out how he got a position at the U of I. He's that bad. His incoherent lecturing style makes it so so so so so obvious that he has no idea what he's talking about. So bad!!!!
Freeburg is the best professor I had while attending UI. His paper prompts left you with plenty of room to write on a variety of topics. He is incrediably intelligent, and if you go to his office hours, he is more than willing to help you. He has a unique styling of teaching and he's very laid back. Get to know him and he'll help you succeed.
Freeburg is horrible. Very nice should not be teaching anything larger than a class of 10 people. His paper prompts were literally 4 sentences tops. Never explained the nature of midterms and finals until too late. Ignorant of the needs of his students. Papers were graded quite hard. Lacking professional manner...should not be teaching at U of I!!!
Instructor puts very little care or effort into lecture and is very dismissive of student concerns. Paper prompts were unclear and it was confusing what material was going to be on tests. Not recommended, unless you want a frustrating semester.
Words can't express my distaste for this professor - he told the class was a poor student in school; it has resulted in his being a very poor instructor. He gives lectures of irrelevant information that won't be included on the tests, for which you receive no help or advice on how to prepare. TERRIBLE, cocky, unintelligent instructor. Never again.

The Mississippi Bureau of Investigations has finished it's investigation of on the shooting death of Jackson Police Detective Eric Smith. It happened April fourth when gunshots rang out inside the Jackson police headquarters.
Smith had been questioning 23-year-old Jeremy Powell in connection with the murder of Christopher Alexander. Officers went in and found both men dead.
The case was turned over to MBI, which has now reported to District Attorney Robert Schuler Smith.
"We may send the case to the grand jury, if necessary, but right now, the conclusion is that it it's a murder suicide," said Smith.
Smith would not go beyond that statement, but we know from previously released information that Powell shot Smith to death before turning Smith's gun on himself.

ODU Faculty, Coach Discuss Marijuana, War and Sports Topics on "HearSay" This Week
Members of the Old Dominion University community will be guests on WHRV-FM's (89.5) midday talk show, "HearSay with Cathy Lewis," for three separate programs this week.
On Tuesday, Aug. 5, Meghan Zwisohn, an adjunct professor in the Department of Sociology and Criminal Justice and a senior assistant commonwealth's attorney for Norfolk, will discuss the program's topic, "Up in Smoke - Marijuana and Tobacco Legislation."
Scientists, activists and lawmakers have long debated how to leverage the medical benefits of marijuana while minimizing the potential for abuse. Now Congress is considering a bill that would remove federal penalties for possession and use of small amounts of marijuana. Zwisohn, who just completed a year and a half term as the senior assistant on the Norfolk commonwealth'sattorney office drug team, will discuss the law in Virginia.
On Wednesday, Aug. 6, Beth Anders, head coach of ODU's field hockey team, will appear as a guest for the "Beijing Bound" program. ODU will have 10 alumni competing in the 2008 Olympic games - nine for U.S. teams and one representing Mali - playing in three different sports: field hockey, sailing and basketball.
At Old Dominion, Anders has mentored the women's field hockey team for more than 25 years and has led her teams to perennial appearances in the NCAA tournament. Under her tutelage, the Lady Monarchs have achieved more honors than any other field hockey program in NCAA history and have brought the nationalchampionship trophy back to Norfolk an unprecedented nine times. Four former Lady Monarchs, Tiffany Snow ('03-Escondido, Calif.), Caroline Nichols ('06-Virginia Beach), Dana Sensenig ('06-Denver, Pa.) and Angie Loy ('05-Loysville, Pa.), will represent the country as former members of coach Anders' ODU squads.
On Thursday, Aug. 7, Joyce Hoffmann, associate professor of journalismat ODU and currently the public editor of The Virginian-Pilot, will be a guest on the program "War Stories: Female Journalists in Vietnam," and will discuss her latest work - the story of women journalists who risked their lives to cover America's involvement in the Vietnam War.
Hoffmann's book, "On Their Own: Women Journalists and the American Experience in Vietnam," includes rich detail not only about the women writers and photographers who worked as reporters in Vietnam, but also about the 1960s-era political and cultural climates in the United States, in Vietnam and in American newsrooms. Joining Hoffmann on the program will be Laura Palmer, one of the journalists interviewed for her book.
A rebroadcast of these programs will be available at http://www.whro.org/home/publicradio/whrv/localprogramming/hearsay.

Bills starting ILB Paul Posluszny will be out two weeks with a knee injury, the team reported on Monday.
Giants may surprise with offensive pick
Although most pundits expect the Giants to draft a middle linebacker with their first-round pick, the whispers we're hearing indicate that an offensive player, such as TE Jermaine Gresham, wouldn't be a shocking choice.
Bills re-sign six free agents
The Bills announced Monday that they have re-signed restricted free agents DB George Wilson and LB Keith Ellison, exclusive rights free agents LB Jon Corto, DB Cary Harris and TE Jonathan Stupar and free agent WR Felton Huggins.
The Buffalo Bills placed Ellison on season-ending injured reserve on Saturday.||||||| Ellison ended with 20 tackles this season.

On the fifth day of swimming trials for the 2012 Olympics the U.S.A. men's swimming team finalized who would represent America in the 200m men's breast. Eric Shanteau was a big sleeper in the event, finishing in second place in the men's 100m right behind Brendan Hansen.
Hansen took the early lead on the first turn with Clark Burckle and Shanteau right behind him. As the race continued to the first 100m turn, Burckle over took Hansen with Shanteau maintaining third place heading to the 150m turn.
On the final turn, Shanteau overtook both Hansen and Burckle to take the lead but was over taken by Scott Weltz on the final stretch as Weltz finishes in first place with a time of 2:09.01 and Burckle in second with a time of 2:09.97.
Hansen and Shanteau, who both qualified for the men's 100m breast, were shut out of the 200m breast.

I'm Leah. 19. My heart is taken by a lovely girl. From Pittsburgh. Steelers. Pirates. Penguins. Pittsburgh sport fanatic. Sports management major. I like being spontaneous, laughing, making people laugh, meeting new people, learning new things, and living life as it comes at me. I have no regrets in life at all. Everything that happens, happens for some reason that we find out later in life, or maybe never at all. But I continue to keep looking ahead. There is no time to waste looking back and no time to waste getting worked up about the what-ifs or could-haves. I am a fighter. I will always fight for what I believe. I'm fully confident in who I am. I don't care what anyone thinks. I recognize that there are all these judgmental people in the world. It's unfortunate. And sad. But more frustrating than anything. I've learned to accept people for who they are and love them for being exactly that. Love yourself, love others, and recognize that no one else is like you. I think about how lame the world would be if everyone was exactly the same. I've learned to appreciate the differences that I have with other people. Life is a constant uphill battle for us all in this world, but to me the most important thing in life is being happy, being who you are, and ultimately being good to others. It is always important to be true to yourself. If you aren't, you should. Just do it. Free yourself. You won't regret it. I'm probably one of the most open-minded people you'll ever meet. I am open to all opinions, beliefs, values, religions, etc. I'll always listen to your opinion and look at your point of view. Even though you may not know me, I'm always open to give advice or help out in any way possible. I strive to make people happy. Hit me up if you have a question, need advice or just wanna say hey! Here's my twit and insta if you feel like giving it some love ;) Twitter and instagram: @leah_reimerIf you read this, you're awesome thank you. :)
Boy. Wish I had this lol
Hahaha! 'Great for Money-Laundering.'

Two things:
1) Braves Bull Pen
2) Bull Pen Theory
Many of yall on here could explain a lot about what goes into a Bull Pen, and I'm hoping you will. My knowledge is limited.
This is the Braves Bull Pen last year and what it might project as next year
Kimbrel Kimbrel
Venters Venters
Oflahrity Oflahrity
Linebrink ? Right hander that can pitch to both sides? w good splits against righties?
Sherrill Medlen (Loogy/can pitch to both sides)
Moylan Lowe (GB specialist/long)
Martinez Martinez (long)
(coming up in spurts)
So what will be interesting, is if we do move Lowe to the pen, then we will have three guys suited to be long relievers: Martinez, Lowe, Medlen. My guess is that Lowe will become more of a ground ball specialist, Medlen will become more of a one inning middle reliever, and Martinez will remain the rubber arm long man. These things will have to play out based on performance though of course, and a trade could be made.
Here's a primary question, what is most lacking with these six pitchers? What are we looking for in the 7th? Hoover has to be added to the mix as well. If he is as durable as I want to believe, as a right handed power reliever he has to be a top candidate.
My feeling on Vizcaino is that we have so many options and he has so much potential that it would be absurd to have him start the season in the pen and not in the AAA rotation.
So who else of our pitchers suit our needs best? Obv. there will be a competition for the spot in the spring, but who has the tools to be the guy we want to perform and take that role?
Here is another question - I have lots about the bullpen, I think it's awesome to think about, especially this off season: We have some real quality arms, more than can fit in the bullpen, what are the chances we pull them up and involve them in a trade? Look at how valuable Dunn was in a trade, and we have several guys that would be sure things in numerous major league pens. Another year in the minors though and they're going to get less and less valuable.
I hope I kicked up a lot of thought and ideas, I'd love to have a thread where we just talk bullpen

Women as Mothers
About Me
- Name: NYMOM
- Location: New York, New York, United States
A grandmother, who raised two daughters alone, I have recently become concerned about the number and intensity of the media attacks against women in their role as mothers, particularly single mothers. It is apparent that many of these attacks have been generated by men, out of either jealousy of women's primary bond with children, anger over women's increased status or independence within Western society and male attempts to undermine the recent rigorous enforcement by the federal government of child support. All of these issues have combined to generate a backlash against women in their role as mothers and this can be seen in not just media campaigns, but in laws and public policies being directed against us, as well as the tremendous increase in mothers losing custody of their children. I have created this website in an attempt to post articles regarding this issue and discuss with like-minded people some strategies to amend the current situation.

25,000 New Yorkers Demand Libertarians on the Ballot
Posted on Aug 21, 2012
Albany, NY—The Libertarian Party of New York submitted over 25,000 signatures Tuesday to give New Yorkers an alternative to the failed policies of the major parties.
State Chair Mark Axinn commented, "Once again, the Libertarian Party has amassed enough signatures so that voters can choose true freedom-loving candidates this November. Unlike tax-and-spend Democrats and borrow-and-spend Republicans, only the Libertarian Party candidates will actually slow the growth of government."
Two-term New Mexico Governor and Libertarian Presidential candidate Gary Johnson said, "I'm pleased at the hard work of the New York Libertarians, along with assistance from the National Libertarian Party, in getting enough signatures for Jim Gray and me to be on New York's state ballot this November. Because of their tireless effort the Libertarian Party of New York has given the state's citizens a third choice with the priorities to balance the budget, create jobs, and restore civil liberties. With the help of the 80% of voters across the country who want a third choice this November, we can restore fiscal responsibility and social acceptance."
Other Libertarian candidates on the slate in November because of these petitions include Chis Edes for US Senate, Michael McDermott, Congressional District 3 (Long Island), Autumn Wark, Congressional District 5 (Queens), Dan Halloran, Congressional District 6 (Queens) and Mark Glogowski, Assembly District 139 (Rochester).
Speaking for the 40 year-old Libertarian Party which defends constitutionally limited government, individual freedom, and non-interventionist foreign policy, national committee Chair Geoffrey Neale said, "Twenty-nine electoral votes are at stake along with the chance for 13 million New Yorkers to cast their votes for freedom, an end to our engagement in Afghanistan, an end to needless suffering caused by the inhumane drug prohibition, a balanced budget, and real growth in private sector jobs."
The Libertarian Party stands for both personal and economic freedom and minimal government at all levels.

I'm watching this snooze-fest of a game and all I keep thinking is: What do people always say about NFL football? Games are won in the trenches. Defense and rushing win championships. Line line line line line.
So what am I looking at in these two AFC North rival teams?
First, the Browns. If you listened to just about any "hardcore" NFL fan, they would tell you that a solid football team starts with an offensive line. Build an O-line above all else. You just have to look at this board to see the same sentiment leading up to next year's FA and draft. So what have the Browns done? How about put together the best LT, LG, and arguably one of the best centers in the conference. They have spent 2 high first round draft picks and a mountain of money assembling what should be the premiere O-line in the league. And what do they have to show for it? Well it just so happens that neglecting skill postions - QB, RB, WR - tends to make an impact even with a great O-line. Surprise, surprise.
And on the other side? Well the Steelers have had one of the worst O-lines in the league for years. Before Pouncey came along they barely had an above-average player at any spot on their line. What did they do with that over the last 5 years? Only 3 Super Bowl appearances and 2 Lombardi trophies. Why is that? Elite QB, RB, and receiver play. Granted, it took drafting the most elusive QB in the history of the game to make that plan work, but here we are.
This is a new era in the NFL. No one is going to argue that offensive lines are not vitally important to the game, but it is clear now that TOP TIER skill position players make the difference. That goes on both sides of the ball. CB's are more valuable than DT's. Receivers are more valuable than guards. The whole paradigm has shifted in the last 10 years. It makes me lean more towards reaching for high end RB and WR prospects over the old wisdom of building your lines. It's hard to complain about adding solid line depth, but it's starting to become clear that the game is being won by skill positions.

Now it is about time to start talking serious stuff: watches :-) The first watch shop Lemon-ya we visited in Ginza was actually a camera shop that just recently added a watch business to its premises. A couple of glass vitrines carry vintage, NOS and new watches from a variety of origins. I was attracted by a Bulova GMT with turning 24 hour bezel, the price was only JPY 68'000. That was quite a surprise compared to the stainless steel Daytona from the 80ies that went for JPY 1'500'000...hm...
Below is one of the most exclusive watch shops at Ginza,
the WAKO, owned by the Seiko family. They do not only feature Seikos, but also most of the
top Swiss and other imported brands. They also have a selection of Credor
watches (the Seiko line between Brightz and Grand Seiko) that are a popular
wedding gift in Japan. We looked at a beautiful Credor GMT watch with very
special hands in Titanium. Price 220'000 JPY, of course I had to ask whether
they give discounts, all I got as a reply was a smile and a friendly no and a
facial expression that said "are you serious?". The sales girl by the way was
wearing a Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso, I asked her, whether that was her watch and
she smiled in way that also contained an almost invisible sigh...no, it was a
watch from the shop's inventory.
That window decoration is really great class IMO, very avantgarde and the whole shop interiour (no photos, we asked;-)) reflects luxury and suggests "please do not ask for discounts, can't you see what this decoration cost?"
Please also note the unintentional interesting reflection of two Ginza streets since this shop is located at a crossing and I obviously took the shot at the right position. And one little riddle: can you find Seiya-san in the reflection? If not, just go on to the next picture, there is a very clear picture of us.

SA's "Big" Weakness
Found this excellent link in one of the comment threads: "Alas, Popovich scrapped the Splitter/Duncan pairing Tuesday after it (once again) failed to produce enough offense. The Spurs have scored just 97.6 points per 100 possessions in the minutes those two have played together, the equivalent of what Washington's 29th-ranked offense has produced this season, per NBA.com's stats database. San Antonio leads the league in scoring overall, so that drop-off is huge." I still say the answer is to let Timmy shoot the corner 3 when he and Tiago are both on the floor. Tell me he couldn't hit 40% when his man sags to try and stop the Tony/Tiago high pick and roll.
