Mixi Nengajou New Years Cards

A keen eyed Otaku News reader has sent us details a clever idea used by
, the Japanese Social Networking Site. The
Mixi Nengajou
site allows you to send Japanese New Year Cards to other Mixi users, even if you don't know their postal address. The site is a spin off from Mixi and uses the receivers registered address to send the real world post card. If the user does not have a registered address, it will ask them to do so in order to received a card.
With over 400 designs to chose from (including anime and manga designs), the idea seems like a sure fire winner. It'll be interesting to see if any other similar Social Network Sites in the west pick up similar ideas.

"One reason, perhaps, is that in a group-oriented society, human superheroes may seem arrogant - or even offensive."

As a foreigner to Japanese culture, it seems that gaijin can get away with a few things, such as talking in the wrong tone to someone superior, or pretending not to understand cold-callers and similar salespeople. However it seems that as soon as you get married to a Japanese person, all these rights are revoked, as the article mentions a western lady who married a Japanese man, and now is given less slack than a normal gaijin would.

the quest for geisha in Cumbria
. The Lake District is a popular destination with Japanese tourists. So much so that Cumbria Tourism has translated a map of tea-serving places off the beaten track into Japanese and even hosting a Green Tea Day on 19th July 2007. Cafes on the tea trail are advertising for geishas to help with intricacies of the tea ceremony. Experts are also required to help translate the more trickier recipe names like "tarty tarn drizzle" into Japanese.
Fully-trained geisha are rare and apparently would charge up to £7,000 (more than $13,000 USD) to fly across from Japan. So the tourist association is hoping some more local experts can help out. Which is why I'm really posting this story on Otaku News. I know of our readers would be able to help. Any experts when it comes to tea etiquette in Japan should contact
Cumbria Tourism
. I'm sure a few translators could come in handy too. ^_-

The book is printed excellent quality paper. At £15.95 it's superb value for money especially considering it's all in colour. It's due out 30th April 2007. We only wish the book was bigger so that they could print the artwork larger, but I guess we've been spoiled by looking at anime artbooks all these years. The book has some great examples of Japanese culture in the period and come highly recommend by the Otaku News crew.

Add pigs' feet, broth, and tomato sauce.
Bring to a boil; then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 2 hours.

If made ahead, let cool, then cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days; reheat to serve.
Ladle stew into bowls; allow 2 to 3 cups for a serving because the feet are so bony.

They don't kick FG?
Go Blue!
"I love it that Ivy League coaches are coming to our camp and Big Ten coaches are coming to our camp. South Florida is coming. We've got about 70 schools that are coming to our camp."
They don't kick FG?
Go Blue!
what a stupid decision to not take points and potentially deflate your team
I love watching Rawls run... You get the feeling like he may just break a tackle for a huge run at any given time...
Free play...throw deep! Nothing bad can happen!
Way to read the offsides Gardner....and to get us a PI first down!
I love how Devin is aware of the free play that he gets on these offsides.
DG football IQ >> DR football IQ
Both of them.
Drawing penalties.
Two fans, had to be said twice.
Is Jack Miller in now?
EDIT: I misread the jersey it was Mealer.
Shades of UTL.
Gallon cloak!
Catch gallon!!!
DG is balling!
Holy fuck! Gardner was dead on with that over the shoulder! That's something we haven't seen from anyone for a while...
Tough run.
Great hustle Rawls!!!!
Wow Devin is good.
Denard misses that throw or doesn't see it 9 times out of 10. If Denard doesn't start another game it could be a good thing...
Gardner is looking like the truth. Why does this offense look so much better? Where were these play calls when Denard was in there?
The RAW truth...thats for sure
See what happens when you keep your feet moving Toussaint?
Lets run Rawls more. He may not be fast, but man he can ground and pound.
Oh Toussaint.
Devin Gardner is a baller...
Lets hold off on anointing him as the chosen one for now. It's one game.
wish you would have run earlier there. but at least a good throw away. funchess time?
Is a slant and go
More shades of UTL.
We hope you like jump balls.
Holy fucking 'Touch on the pass"!!!!TD
Gardener to Gallon!
Keep em coming dg
Please dont review.
Holy moses! This is some serious balling by Gardner and a hell of a catch by Gallon!
What is wrong with with Fitz?!?!
That's a td folks.
DG throws a nice ball.
Way to go up and get the ball Gallon!
Not sure he would have had this kind of success last week, but I think we know who has to be the QB going into next year! Unless Morris is amazing in preseason drills!
No matter how amazing he may be, there is no substitute for experience. I think Gardner will be the clear favorite to win the job. Morris will benefit from a year (or two years?) as his understudy.
Thy was a catch.
Damn auto correct.
Auto correct made me laugh.

Last week, I was cleaning up the yard following our most recent episode of Northwest weather. Basically, it was the fall and winter variety with too much rain, more wind than needed, leaves and branches left behind, and the certainty that more's coming.
I was clearing one of our mint beds (a necessary ingredient in a proper Mint Julep) when I came upon six popsicle sticks that'd been stuck into the ground. And here's some background regarding the smile that then appeared on my face.
Our daughter, her fiancé, and our granddaughter moved out a little over a year ago. They left for, and settled in,Texas where they were going to purchase a local restaurant and begin working at their dreams.
The loan got stalled and things didn't work out, but another opportunity opened up in Florida. They took a hard look, offered a bid which was accepted, the loan came through, they packed up, moved, and are now the owners of all of the headaches that come with restaurant ownership -- this time in Destin, Florida.
My wife and I had been lucky as grandparents. We'd had our daughter and Lori, our granddaughter, with us for several years. We'd been able to watch as Lori grew from an infant to a toddler to a pre-schooler to a little girl. It worked out well for all of us. Our daughter was able to finish her college degree while we got to spoil the living bejeezus out of our granddaughter on a very regular basis.
We both toiled mightily at that task. My wife bought her many of the soft, frilly things every granddaughter needs, read her stories at night, and proved to her that grandmothers' laps are the most comfortable places on earth for a little girl to sit.
I taught her to fish, explained to her the intricacies of making waffles, proved that bread always falls buttered side down, and showed her the proper way to lick ice cream cones. I also introduced her to nautical phrases and was extremely proud when I once heard her ask her mother if getting up at "Oh-Dark-Hundred" was really necessary.
My wife escaped rebuke while "Larry! What have you been teaching Lori?" became, for years, a common phrase in our home.
All that said, one of my best memories was when she once finished a popsicle and wanted to know what to do with the stick. That's when our daughter said, "Why don't you plant them in the garden to see if they'll grow popsicles this winter." To a then 4-year-old little girl, this made perfect sense and I soon began finding popsicle sticks in odd places throughout our planting beds.
I think our daughter forgot about it but, one night that winter, some snow fell and, the next morning when I went outside, I saw those sticks and knew what I had to do. I made a quick trip to the local store, bought a box of popsicles, came home, and planted them where the sticks had been.
I'm not sure words can describe the scene when Lori woke up, looked outside, and saw her crop. I'll just offer that all the money on this planet couldn't buy a moment like that.
Needless to say, we'd created another Santa Claus, Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy kind of tradition around our home and one grandfather now looked forward to snow almost as much as our granddaughter did.
She's eight-years-old now and I think she's had it figured for a while. Still, she and her mother were here for a short visit this past summer and we got to do many of the things we used to do. Apparently that included planting popsicle sticks since -- as noted at the beginning of this piece -- I found six of them planted in the mint I grow.
I don't know if they were for her or for me, and it doesn't really matter because, after our first snow, I'm going to call Lori to tell her that her crop's in and she's welcome to come pick them at any time.
I'll even help. It's what grandpas do.

An Open Letter To Karl Rove About The "Conservative Victory Project"
Dear Karl Rove
It goes without saying that your "Conservative Victory Project" isn't off to the greatest of starts. In fact, judging by my inbox, just about every Tea Party group and grassroots conservative organization in America are fundraising off of fighting not Barrack Obama, but YOU in 2014.
That doesn't seem like a healthy development for the Republican Party, the conservative movement, or for that matter, you.
That begs a very obvious question: Do you really want to spend the next two years being branded as the living face of the Republican establishment by every grassroots conservative group in America? How does that help the conservative movement? How does that help the Republican Party? How does that help you?
Not only will it severely cut into your donations, by the time the primaries roll around in 2014, conservative candidates may not WANT the endorsement of the "Conservative Victory Project."
So, what now? Do you acknowledge that the "Conservative Victory Project" is the "New Coke" of politics and change course or do you put pride first and stay the course?
Why not kill the "Conservative Victory Project" or at least suspend it. Then announce that you're doing it because conservatives HAVE COMPLETELY MISUNDERSTOOD YOUR GOOD INTENTIONS. At that point, you could either let the effort die off completely or reboot it in a way that isn't going to make everyone fear that your real goal is to strangle the next Rand Paul, Pat Toomey, or Ted Cruz in the crib. Maybe you could bring on some name brand movement conservatives and pledge not to run any negative ads or maybe, you could just focus on candidate recruitment and fundraising.
What you shouldn't do is put the good work that you've done raising money for conservative candidates at risk for the sake of pride. Don't put grassroots conservatives in a position where they feel compelled to fight YOU and American Crossroads instead of the Democrats.
2014 can be a huge year for the Republican Party and you can be a big part of that or, you continue on the same path and be an impediment to the party's success while you hurt your own hard earned reputation in the process. Don't be the guy who decided to stick with "New Coke," no matter what, all the way until the bitter end.

As incomplete as they are, the ARHA files at Barrett Library do offer some interesting insights into the operations and woes of the public housing authority. We're going to explore some of them over the next few days.
The Growler posed a fundamental question at the most recent meeting of the Braddock East Advisory Group (BEAG): can ARHA afford to continue supporting public housing?
This query was met with a lot of rhetoric about Alexandria as a compassionate city, with the implication that the City could always be relied upon to support ARHA even as HUD funds continue to evaporate.
But in fact it appears that under financial pressure ARHA in recent years has already been forced to take steps of its own to change its housing mix so that it supports fewer public housing units for the neediest families and more Section 8 projects whose residents contribute a higher proportion of income toward rent.
For example, the minutes from 2006 and 2007 ARHA Board meetings reveal what some neighbors already suspect: that Jefferson Village (located at Princess and N. West Streets) was recently converted to Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program and the public housing residents offered accommodations elsewhere.
According to notes from the February 8 BEAG meeting, "there are 10 market-rate units and 50 Section 8 units that were converted from public housing units. The units were converted to Section 8 because those units produce higher yields for ARHA's budget."
The heavy cost of subsidizing pure public housing is one of the reasons ARHA had to seek City loans for Quaker Hill.
In 1990 and 1991, ARHA acquired 60 units of public housing (30 townhouses and 30 condominiums) as part of the redevelopment of the old Cameron Valley public housing site.
Yet by 1999 ARHA was forced to change the site fundamentals. According to the docket materials for the City Council hearing of December 16, 2006 "Prior to ARHA's issuance of Housing Choice Vouchers to Quaker Hill residents in 1999, the property's rental income came solely from low-income residents rents equal to 30% of their adjusted income, and therefore was not sufficient to cover its expenses. [Emphasis added.] Over time ARHA made operating deficit loans from its other housing programs totaling $6.9 million to cover Quaker Hill operating costs."
Hence the first loan from the City, which was later rolled into a second loan to help the housing authority purchase the project from its owners who had invested in the property for tax credit purposes and after their expiration were threatening to make it market rate.
In moments of financial stress, ARHA has been forced to consider similar conversions for other properties, although not all have come to pass.
The Hopkins-Tancil project in Old Town was built in 1942 as a public housing project, but since 1983 has been a "Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation" property with 111 units, in which tenants pay 30% of their adjusted income as rent.
In April 2006, according to the ARHA papers, the housing authority had considered changing the status of Hopkins-Tancil to market rate because of "recent financial penalties ARHA had been advised of under the Moderate Rehabilitation Contract." (Presumably these were HUD penalties for using Hopkins-Tancil surplus funds to subsidize the mold-ridden and increasingly uninhabitable Glebe Park project — a no-no in HUD's playbook.)
According to the minutes and supporting materials, ARHA officials intended to appeal the penalties, but considered giving families Section 8 tenant-based vouchers (meaning the vouchers travel with the person rather than stay with the site) and tell HUD that the authority would no longer participate in the Moderate Rehabilitation contract. This apparently didn't come to pass, but it was an idea on the table.
During the complex negotiations to refinance Glebe Park, ARHA sought a new financial firm to provide a letter of credit backing the bonds for the troubled project. Only Bank of America responded to the ARHA RFP, and then got cold feet because the project assessed under the estimated value. ARHA then applied for "Voluntary Conversions" for both Glebe Park and Jefferson Village to move tenants to vouchers. This voluntary conversion would raise the value of the Glebe Park site. But HUD wouldn't authorize the conversion (at least for Glebe Park), and Bank of America withdrew from the negotiations.
This reverse undoubtedly forced ARHA to seek a City bailout for the Glebe Park property in 2007, and the tandem redevelopment of Glebe Park and James Bland has forestalled the need — for now — to convert the Arlandria property.
With this history, does it appear that ARHA (and the City) can afford pure public housing in the future?

Only 50 per cent graduates exercise their franchise; officials monitor the proceedings
Graduates turnout in MLC elections was disappointing in East Godavari district, which stood at number two in the State in literacy rate. The 'intellectuals' failed to exercise their franchise and about 50 per cent graduates did not appear at the polling stations.
In Rajahmundry Revenue Division, in first two hours the polling percentage was 9.3 per cent and by noon it reached to 20.43 per cent. Finally it stood at 48.66 out of 38,604 voters in entire division.
"Last time the turnout was comparatively good. It was 68 per cent. Illiterates, rural people who exercise their franchise in general elections and farmers who voted in last week's primary agriculture society elections are better than graduates," commented P.V.B. Sanjeeva Rao, a lecturer in VT College.
"We received two cell phones from a candidate. To thank for his gesture, we both of us went to the polling station. Otherwise, we have no time," said a couple who did not wish to be identified.
Female voters were seen at most polling stations. Polling picked up after 12 noon as women got ready to vote. Teaching community took active part in this election as one of the candidates is representing the community and college students were seen near polling stations as their College Chairman's son is contesting the election.
Laptops used
This time, the counters opened to guide the voters at each polling station by the contesting candidates had a different scene. Followers of the candidates used laptops at most of the counters to verify the details of the voters. The Election Officer and RDO M. Venugopal Reddy who went around the polling stations in the first two hours, monitored the situation through webcasting system which displayed all his 57 polling stations on a big TV screen in the Sub-Collector's office.
As many as 52.68 voters exercised their vote during the election to the Legislative Council's East and West Godavari district's graduates' constituency. The election was held peacefully in East and West Godavari districts from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. In East Godavari district, election was held in 165 polling stations. By 10 a.m. polling was registered as 9.5 per cent, at 12 noon it was 24 per cent and at 2 p.m. it was 40 per cent.
By the time the polling was over, the total votes polled were 53.08 per cent in East Godavari district and 52.2 per cent in West Godavari district, taking the total to 52.68 per cent.
Of the 1,09,133 graduate voters in East Godavari district, 57,928 voters cast their vote, whereas in West Godavari, 48,351 voters used their vote against the total voters of 92,630 in the district.
Collector Neetu Prasad, also the returning officer of the election, visited the polling station arranged at the government ITI and expressed satisfaction over the arrangements. She also monitored the web-casting facility.
Of the 1,09,133 graduate voters in East Godavari district, 57,928 cast their vote 48,351 vote in West Godavari, against the total voters of 92,630

"These invitations surpassed my expectations. Customization was easy. I made them into picnic invitations. The ink is consistent and the design is printed well. The card stock is nice and heavy. I am placing another order today for a different party!"
"Used for my daughters first bday party invites. Very nice quality. A touch smaller in size than I'd imagined, but should have read the details more closely. overall, great purchase."
"The paper quality is great and I love the colors! My son loves his invites too! I have received a ton of compliments!! Highly recommend!"
"This card is so adorable. It's exactly what my daughter wanted for her 6th birthday party invitations. But the best part was the customer service. I received the electronic proof within MINUTES of submitting my order. And the artist found a mistake that I made! After I approved the proof, I realized I left one guest off (I used their addressing and mailing services). I called them and they added it without hesitation! I just ordered my second round of Tiny Prints invitations for another party. Tiny Prints will be the only place I order from!"
"I enjoyed being able to order this card for my daughter's 5th birthday. As we passed them out to everyone they had nothing but wonderful things to say about how cute they were and how it gave her birthday that personal touch. From this card i was able to develop a design for the cake, decorations, games that my daughter is sure to love and remember. She still remembers her last birthday party which was also developed from her Kai-Lan invitation. I have recommended your company to many family and friends and enjoy the discounts offered. Thank You So Much for giving my daughters birthday That Personal Touch."

Vista's challenges echo those of Windows XP
Early opinions of Windows XP were remarkably similar to those that many users offer about Windows Vista today.
For instance, a Computerworld survey of 200 IT managers conducted in the fall of 2001, just before XP was released, found that 53% of the respondents didn't plan to upgrade their PCs, while another 25% were undecided. And in an informal poll of 25 users a year later, only four said they had started deploying XP.
"We have not moved to XP, and we have no plans to," one CIO said in 2002. "This is an upgrade that offers nothing to a business customer."
Another IT manager said that the cost of upgrading to XP was "very high" and that there wasn't "a lot of perceived value" in moving up.
Many companies had just finished or were still rolling out Windows 2000 when XP came along just 20 months after its predecessor. Few could get excited at the prospect of another upgrade, especially when the economy turned sour after the dot-com bust.
And although XP may seem svelte compared with Vista, at the time, it was considered by many to be a bulky resource hog that likely would bog down applications on older PCs.
As of March 2005, Windows 2000 was still running on almost half of business PCs in the U.S. and Canada, according to usage data compiled by asset-tracking vendor AssetMetrix prior to its acquisition by Microsoft.
"Vista really does parallel the situation with XP in a lot of ways," said Michael Cherry, an analyst at Directions on Microsoft.

USDA Climate Hubs Website: Connecting Stakeholders to the Hubs
I'm happy to announce that as of today, the USDA Climate Hubs have an official home on the web. The new site provides a portal for farmers, ranchers, forest landowners, and others to find useful, practical information to help cope with the challenges and stressors caused by a changing climate. We hope this site will serve as a gateway not only to the information and tools provided by the regional Hubs, but also to the larger network of USDA programs that provide conservation and planning support to land managers.
The Hubs Site comprises a suite of pages specific to each region across the country. By browsing through the pages for each region, you can find information on agriculture and forestry vulnerabilities related to climate change and tools to cope with these changes. You'll also find more information about the Hubs program, and contact information to get in touch with the right specialist in your area. Read more »

I'm sure this will be a heated subject.

So in order to expand the game. or add things on, i know they have a limit to what they can add until either it becomes to complex. or worse. But what are somethings you guys would like to see?:
Things that i have read and agree upon are:
Relationships: Friendships with guards merchants, priests everyone that you can talk with, i know this might influence the story line in a negative way.
Werewolves if anything, even vampires if you want: As i read, this does not mean that they have to fight, only recently have things depicted that they are rivals rather than nuetral or alliances.
Amour (in general): Pauldrons gloves, vampraces, greeves, boots, cuirass, helmet. I think things should be more customablizable (sp). They should bring back armour from morrowind and keep the oblivion armour. We should be able to have our clothing on , then stack armour on top of that. and if we want, put a rob on over all of this.
Smithing and tailoring: You should definatly (sp) be able to create your own sword or armour, or pay some elf, nord smith to. make clothing too. Make things enchanted, or not. To be able to name the things we create. I know i would like to make a bad ass set of armour, from something like Assassins creed 2. A Sick sword like in Eldest. and a powerful ring from lord of the rings. and more.
Anything else you all would like to add see or not see?
to add on for the armor, things from dragons, even if it takes all game to create the armor from gathering things. or if its part of the main quest line to creat a certain type of sword/axe/ enchanted arrows if you will
I cant beleive iforgot this. But i would also like that you would able to buy land, and build up it. like a villa or something, or reserect destroyed land. i would even like to be king, but i know that will never happen
u can already name stuff u create
and that is all i shall contribute
well i do hope that they are able to allow you to completely custom forge your weapons who knows maybe even your own arrows to
hopefully they dont just add blueprints and allow you to merely just tack on a couple of runes
im hoping for clawing the ore yourself from the very bowels of the world melting it down and tempering it into a custom weapon of your own design all the way down to the edge of this weapon
that would suck, but yeah forming the shape and handle
but how much can you create?

A Sick sword from Eldest?
You mean like Eragon? because he had the Red sword since the first book and he didnt get a new Blue one until the third book

I came to the US in 2001 as a student in Anne Arundel Community College and completed a degree in Communication Arts Technology, which basically is - graphic design including all forms of multimedia technology.
This truly is a great place to live or visit; the town is very quaint and reminds me of being back in England.

Joey Bada$$ - Killuminati Pt. 2
Artist: Joey BadA$$
Producer: Knxwledge
Album: None
Avg Rating: 3.5 ( 6 votes )
To date, all of the Booth-featured Control responses have come courtesy of Kendrick's elders in the game. And for good reason—few rappers under 20 can plausibly claim to be in his weight class. If there's one young'n who can put up a fight, though, it's 18-year-old B.K. wunderkind Joey BadA$$. On Killuminati Pt. 2, the Pro.Era ringleader responds to K. Dot's "King of New York" effrontery by encroaching on his territory. Implicitly placing himself alongside the late West Coast legend, Joey cribs a few lines from 2Pac's Hail Mary on the intro and outro: "Killuminati all through your body / Like a 12 gauge shotty." Beatsmith Knxwledge provides a dreamy, flute-sampled instrumental to accompany the emcee's bars. While Killuminati Pt. 2 is just a loosie, those craving more densely-packed verses and throwback beats are encouraged to check out Joey BadA$$'s latest street album, Summer Knights.

Tour braces for 'difficult situation' on anchoring
Wednesday - 1/23/2013, 2:24pm EST
By DOUG FERGUSON
AP Golf Writer
SAN DIEGO (AP) - The first PGA Tour meeting on a proposed rule for long putters made only one thing clear to commissioner Tim Finchem. There's still a long way to go to decide what the tour will do, and it figures to be messy.
"It's a very different kind of issue, and it stirs a lot of strong feelings," Finchem said Wednesday. "So consequently, it's a difficult situation. Personally, I view the professional game as being the strongest it's ever been. So I don't like to see distractions, but it's not a perfect world."
Finchem also said there might be a place for bifurcation _ two sets of rules for the game _ in certain areas of golf, but he did not think the long putter issue was one of them.
The U.S. Golf Association and Royal & Ancient Golf Club announced Nov. 28 a proposed rule that would outlaw players from anchoring the club against their bodies. That's the stroke used for belly putters and broom-handle putters. Three of the last five major champions have used belly putters.
Another month remains in a 90-day comment period before the governing bodies decide to adopt the rule. Then, it would not be enforced until 2016.
The PGA Tour, however, can set its own rules.
Still to be determined is the tour's official position on the proposed rule, which will require meetings with its Players Advisory Council and policy board. Finchem said the tour's objective has always been to follow the USGA on rules, and he did not suggest the tour was about treat this new one differently.
Another decision would be whether to enforce the rule earlier than 2016.
The concern is whether the public would look differently at players who anchor the club during the three-year transition period. Keegan Bradley, the first major champion with a belly putter, told of a fan calling him a cheater at the World Challenge at the end of last year.
"If you're presenting the sport, my view would be to move it quicker if it's going to happen because it continues to be a distraction if you don't," Finchem said. "You have players on television, in front of galleries, playing with a method that has been outlawed, even though the enforcement date is later. That's in and of itself the makings of a distraction.
"On the other hand, if you're a player who has grown up using that method _ your livelihood depends on it _ you probably are inclined to not want it to go into effect for a period of time. Here again, the issue is damned if you do, damned if you don't, to some extent. So it needs to be thought through carefully."
Finchem invited USGA executive director Mike Davis to the mandatory player meeting Tuesday night to explain the new rule and how the USGA and R&A arrived at its decision. Davis did not want to talk about how it went.
"This is the PGA Tour's meeting," Davis said. "They asked us here as their guests. We just feel it would be very inappropriate to say anything more than that."
Players leaving the meeting did not want to comment on what was said, including Tim Clark, a prominent figure in the discussion. Clark is unable to turn his wrists normally, and thus has used a broom-handle putter his entire career. He is not playing at Torrey Pines this week, instead traveling from Scottsdale, Ariz., to state his case.
Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson were among those who did not attend.
"We believe in the notion that one body of rules is important, and that's always our intent," Finchem said.
Finchem conceded that the notion of bifurcation was bound to become a topic. He said most sports have differences in the amateur and professional levels.
"Personally, I think in some situations bifurcation is OK," he said. "I'm not so sure bifurcation is important in this particular case, but we're not at a point yet where I am opining on what we think we should do."
The USGA said its research showed the number of players using an anchored stroke has increased in recent years to about 15 percent. A large majority of pros use a conventional putter with a free-swinging stroke, and Woods has been among those outspoken in favor of a ban.
Finchem recognized both sides of the debate.
"The people who want to see anchoring go away firmly believe that they have the best interest of the game at heart," he said. "The people who don't think it's necessary, I think, are equally robust in their enthusiasm for what's best for the game. I hope as this process unfolds, we can keep that in perspective and have a conversation about it and discussion about it and debate about it that is positive. And thus far, I think that's what has happened."
