The Boston University Online Degree Completion Program consists of sixteen required online courses.
This introduction to philosophy revolves around selected films and related texts that provoke serious reflection on issues of knowledge, ethics, and personal identity. The main objective of the course is to provide an introduction to the nature of philosophical inquiry and analysis by exposing the student to specific philosophical problems and issues. By focusing on film as the visual and narrative medium in which these problems and issues emerge, the student will also consider the ways in which art (with the focus here being on cinematic art) can represent and embody philosophical questions, ideas, and positions. Related objectives include the development of critical thinking and writing skills as well as the cultivation of the student's appreciation of film as an art form. [ 4 cr.]
This course, we will explore biological principles in the context of food. It will focus on biodiversity, evolution, biochemistry, symbioses, and humans in the biosphere. Students will be encouraged to make their own connections about the world of food by learning about biological interactions and relationships. [ 4 cr.]
The purpose of the course is threefold: first, to introduce students to a wide variety of essay forms, arranged historically and considered in historical context; second, to provide the opportunity to practice these forms and by imitating models to become more adept and polished writers of the essay, and finally, to explore the theory of the essay, by examining discussions among literary critics concerning the defining characteristics of the genre. [ 4 cr.]
The course examines the philosophical underpinnings of what it means to be an American and the experiences of ordinary men and women in the making of modern America. It will look closely at the ideas of those who founded the nation and how this affected the idealism which became the American identity. The role of immigration, the change from agrarian to urban industrialized society, the growth and influence of labor unions, the shift of the U.S. from maker to buyer of goods and services, and how the ideological notion of what it means to be American evolved will be examined. How events shaped lives and national identity will be discussed. The course will look at ordinary workers and their communities and how they adjusted to changing events and forces around them. [ 4 cr.]
This course will explore the science behind new technologies in biology, but it will also address the ethical questions that define and direct the application of these approaches, especially in humans. Students initially will be expected to master the basic biology of DNA, gene expression, and genomics. The course will require students to learn the basic components of ethical theory and apply them to living organisms in general and to human life in particular. [ 4 cr.]
This interdisciplinary course pairs well-known "classic" texts with more contemporary, perhaps lesser-known works that, in one way or another, respond to the earlier examples. The course focuses on traditions (literary, cinematic, and so forth) to emphasize genre and cultural history, and, as one of its goals, moves toward discussions of aesthetics. The course will examine the timeless quality of any work we consider a "classic" and also challenge the idea of timelessness by thinking about dialogues that exist between centuries and cultures and art. Contemporary examples will allow students to think of how other voices and perspectives (gender, ethnic, racial) may question the stability of what we often deem enduring or artistic. The course pushes beyond a simple comparison/contrast approach and mere discussions of influence. Instead, we will think through the implications (theoretical, political and aesthetic) of revision, adaptation, and the intertextual. Finally, the class asks students to formulate their own aesthetic criteria through a close reading of both primary texts and secondary critical essays which will supplement the readings, film screenings, and artwork. [ 4 cr.]
Over time and throughout cultures, human understanding of a divine presence, of a god or gods, has been intimately connected to our relationship with nature. In some myths, the divine is thought to be inherent in the forces of nature; in others, God stands outside, controlling nature and passing that control to human beings. Still another world view suggests that humans, nature, and the divine are all one thing, as represented in metaphors such as the circle or web of life. This course introduces students to some of the world's mythic traditions, applying them to the enduring cultural issues surrounding humanity's relationship to nature and our role as stewards of the environment. We will follow a roughly chronological syllabus, with readings from the Bible and classical mythology through the writings of Emerson and modern works such as Ceremony by Pueblo author Leslie Marmon Silko. Students will also be exposed to visual art (including Celtic Christian and Native American design) and some film. [ 4 cr.]
This course will examine the nature of the American Dream as seen through fiction, essays, poetry, autobiography, historical documents, and art. It will follow a chronological pattern with the Dream evolving from the Puritan fathers? desire for religious freedom to the Revolution's emphasis on political liberty, the 19th century's focus on self reliance, and the quest for the good life characteristic of the 20th century. At the same time, such characteristic thematic elements as the desire for equality, individual expansion and achievement, and the maturation of the soul will be examined in terms of their impact on all the different permutations of the Dream. [ 4 cr.]
In this course students will expand their knowledge of the mathematics of probability, algebraic thinking, geometry, and statistics, with a focus on contemporary developments and applications. The course will examine the applications of mathematics in contemporary contexts via readings and explorations. 4 cr [ 4 cr.]
This course introduces fundamental concepts of micro and macro economics within the context of the labor market. In micro economics, we focus on the supply and demand for labor, looking at trends in labor force participation, college attendance, and wage differentials. In macro economics, we focus on the ability of the economy to create enough jobs to maintain full employment. We will also cover current topics related to the functioning of the labor market, including a discussion of income distribution and poverty, and the employment impact of international trade and outsourcing. [ 4 cr.]
Online offering. The course will assess whether China will remain a friend or become a foe for the U.S., argue whether China's road to modernization is an apt model for other developing nations, analyze China's past to discover patterns and traditions that still exist, and study the interaction between China and the world community to determine its future role as a world leader. For further information, please call the Office of Distance Education at 617-358-1960. [ 4 cr.]
This course will provide students with an introduction to environmental science with a dual focus in physical geography and climatology. Students will learn to interpret major themes in Earth History and human affairs through interactive lessons that include online lectures, outside reading, and extensive online maps, diagrams, and animations. We will discuss the interactions of climate, physical geography, and human activities in the formation of a dynamic, living Earth. The action of weather, humans, and non-human organisms on the Earth's surface will tie the course together as we end with biogeochemistry and a look at the origin of life. (4 credits) [ 4 cr.]
The indigenous people of North America have a unique experience of negotiating cultural boundaries, alien ideologies, and inscrutable behaviors that appear in everything from personal interactions to national policy, and their own cultural and religious traditions have survived despite a dominant culture that has sought to both annihilate and romanticize them. This course is about that cultural interaction and offers an opportunity to understand Native American cultures in their own terms through the voices of their people expressing themselves in literature, film, and other cultural productions and to nderstand America from the perspective of the cultures of its original inhabitants. [ 4 cr.]
Traditional American music is a dynamic cultural medium that defines identity and community. It is transmitted by long-practiced modes of observation and imitation, and it engages talented musicians who are part of a long-lived cultural continuum. It is based upon a collective understanding of what tradition is, but it is necessarily altered in each generation as new musicians bring their training, insights, talents, and instruments to the process. The result- never entirely harmonious, always uneasy- holds a continuing power to speak to adherents and new listeners alike. It is not merely the tune that us transmitted in the traditional process, but also a portion of the social fabric that bound the tune as it was played in the past. How traditional music has evolved into the current popular American musical forms, and the history of the creation of a hybrid, but distinctively national, music will be explored in lectures, musical examples, and readings from some of the leading scholars of American traditional music. [ 4 cr.]
This course will examine morality through three related yet different lenses: psychology, religion and spirituality. With war, terrorism, global climate change, geological disruptions, and other threats, humans tend to feel more vulnerable, more insecure, and to seek deeper understandings of themselves and their world. Accordingly, issues such as abortion, capital punishment, and stem-cell research take on new meanings as morality evolves with culture. How do we develop a moral understanding of what is appropriate behavior for ourselves and others around us? Is morality carved in stone or is it subject to change, depending upon life experience, religion, secular and social orientation, and other factors? The goal of this course is not to definitively answer questions but to generate them; not to agree on moral issues, but to facilitate understanding of others views; not to criticize, but to comprehend the strengths and limitations of each paradigm. [ 4 cr.]
The art of rhetoric is one of the original liberal arts and is a part of the trivium that includes grammar and logic. Rhetoric is as old as human communication and as diverse as the human imagination. In the twenty-first century, rhetoric has new forms and meanings but retains some of the dynamics of the classical age of Greece and Rome. This course is a study of the art of rhetoric in everyday life and work from both theoretical and practical perspectives with an emphasis on writing and interpretation. [ 4 cr.]
Online offering. Introduces students to practical problems in botany with a dual emphasis on plant evolution and plants in human affairs. The course crosses borders in time and geography as we examine the broad sweep of plants and their role on Earth over the past 300 million years. Plant form and function, evolution of seed plants, plant ecology, ethnobotany (human uses of plants), endangered plant communities, and prospects for conserving plant biodiversity are highlighted in this interdisciplinary course designed for undergraduates. While its focus is rigorously scientific, the course incorporates topics in the humanities (for example visual arts), and social sciences (anthropology) to illustrate the close relationship between humans and plants. Fur further information, call the Office of Distance Education at 617-358-1960. [ 4 cr.]
This course explores various currents, paradoxes, and extensions of Romanticism, especially as this movement took shape in Europe and America, with a special focus on philosophical literature and the visual arts. We will begin with some central ideas and themes of German Romantic thinkers, exploring how these ideas and themes are also evoked by British and American writers as well as by European and American painters. We will identify and analyze Romantic themes and styles in early German expressionist films, in British gothic fantasy movies, and in American motion pictures about western frontier heroes. In the concluding part of the course, we will study twentieth-century extension or ?offshoots? of Romanticism, such as existentialism, depth-psychology, and the philosophy of nature. (4 cr.) [ 4 cr.]
This course is designed to examine important archaeological discoveries relating to the Bible. It will focus on two significant cultural settings: the rise of Judah and Israel 3000 years ago, and questions about the historical Jesus. The course will cover the geography and topography of Palestine and the ancient Near East, and archaeological field methods used in Israel and Palestine. The history of writing and significant manuscript discoveries, such as the Dead Sea Scrolls, will also be examined. Throughout the course, students will examine how archaeologists, looters, forgers, journalists, and theologians fight each other for the opportunity to discover, interpret, and sensationalize artifacts for the religious and irreligious alike. As we examine the archaeological artifacts, students will situate them in terms of their interpretation in documentary films, recent book publications, and other modern media. [ 4 cr.]
Mechanics is the study of the motion of objects and the forces acting on objects. It is hoped that the student will share some of the excitement felt by great scientists such as Galileo and Newton when they discovered many of the principles on which the physics of motion are based. The course assumes that the student has a working knowledge of algebra, but the emphasis will be on a conceptual understanding of physics rather than on advanced mathematics. Many demonstrations and animations will be presented in the course, and the student will become familiar with the physics of many everyday situations. 4 cr [ 4 cr.]

The Houndcats is an American Saturday morning cartoon series produced by DePatie-Freleng Enterprises. The series was broadcast by NBC from September 9 to December 2, 1972, with reruns continuing until September 1, 1973. Thirteen episodes were produced.
Loosely based on the CBS adventure series Mission: Impossible, it was headed by a combined team of (three) dogs and (two) cats, hence the name. The show bears some similarity and may have been inspired by the Western-action-adventure TV series Bearcats, which featured Rod Taylor and Dennis Cole as mercenaries roaming the turn of the century Old West in their Stutz Bearcat in search of fortune and adventure.[citation needed] Each episode begins with the Houndcats receiving their orders from their unseen "Chief", whose message is played on an old-fashioned gramophone, player-piano or other device, parodying the tape recorder scene at the start of most episodes of Mission Impossible. However, the words "this message will self-destruct in five seconds", always takes the Houndcats by surprise, causing them to run away from the explosion.
- The "Houndcats" were led by cool and confident cat Stutz.
- Ding Dog was his blue Civil War uniform-wearing right-hand man with bad timing and judgment.
- Mussel Mutt was the muscle - a large, bulky, and ever hungry herding dog whose eyes were almost always hidden under his hat.
- Putty Puss was a tiny cat - the disguise expert.
- Dog Rhubarb was the scientist. He wore a long coat and a large sombrero (you usually just saw his nose sticking out from under it) that hid his gadgets.
The group travelled in a junkheap Stutz Bearcat named Sparkplug.

That leads to another possibility -- that women simply forget about undergoing the screening.
"A number of patients, it just falls off their radar," Buzdar said.
Discomfort and embarrassment also are believed to play a part, both Buzdar and Naughton said. "Physical discomfort is definitely a discouraging factor," Naughton said.
Finally, women might be avoiding the screening, because they just don't want to hear they might have cancer.
"They just don't want to hear the news, even if it's better to hear it when they can't feel anything," Buzdar said. "But detecting the disease early is in your best interest. You can successfully beat the cancer if it's detected early, versus just hoping that there's nothing there."

A spoof of the film appears in Home Alone as Angels with Filthy Souls. In the parody, Gangster Johnny fires a lengthy machine gun salvo before remarking, "Keep the change, ya filthy animal."
Angels with Dirty Faces is a 1938 film which tells the story of two boys, growing up in the slums of New York City, who take different paths -- one becomes a gangster, one a priest. When they meet again as adults, the priest must keep his former friend from corrupting the boys that the priest is trying to keep from a life of crime.

(Updates with Dow comment in seventh paragraph.)
Jan. 13 (Bloomberg) -- A former Dow Chemical Co. research scientist was sentenced to five years in prison for stealing trade secrets and selling them to Chinese companies.
The sentence against Wen Chyu Liu, also known as David W. Liou, was handed down yesterday by U.S. District Judge James J. Brady in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. A jury in February convicted Liu of perjury and conspiring to steal Dow trade secrets. He was indicted in 2005.
Liu, 75, of Houston worked for Dow from 1965 to 1992. At its Plaquemine, Louisiana, facility he had access to secrets related to the manufacture of chlorinated polyethylene or CPE, used in the making of vinyl siding, electrical cable jackets and industrial hoses, according to a U.S. Justice Department statement today.
"Liu traveled extensively throughout China to market the stolen information, and evidence introduced at trial showed that he paid current and former Dow employees for Dow's CPE-related material and information," the department said.
He paid one Dow worker $50,000 for a process manual and other product-related information, the U.S. said.
Liu's lawyer, Frank Holthaus of Baton Rouge, didn't immediately return a call seeking comment.
'Immense Value'
"The technology that Mr. Liou was convicted of stealing belonged to Dow," the Midland, Michigan-based company said in an e-mailed statement today. "Because of his education and position within the company, Mr. Liou knew of its immense value."
Dow called the theft and sale of its intellectual property "a complete betrayal of the trust imparted to Mr. Liou as a Dow employee."
A former Dow AgroSciences LLC researcher, Kexue Huang, was sentenced to seven years and three months in federal prison last month after pleading guilty in two consolidated cases to stealing trade secrets to benefit a Chinese university. The Huang prosecution was separate from the Liu case.
The Dow Chemical case is U.S. v. Liu, 05-cr-00085, U.S. District Court, Middle District of Louisiana (Baton Rouge). The Dow AgroSciences cases are U.S. v. Huang, 11-cr-00163 and 10-cr- 00102 U.S. District Court, Southern District of Indiana (Indianapolis).

Re: Janice Lester / Turnabout Intruder
Remember in "The Enemy Within" how Spock put everything else on hold when the person looking like Kirk told him to concentrate on maintaining appearances and preserving the Captain's reputation? It would be inconsistent for him to do anything else in this case, either...
By Spock's logic, in both of these cases, having the real Kirk in command of the ship is less important than having a Kirk there, as long as the ship is in no obvious danger from the possible impostor.
Why is this? Would the ship indeed be thrown into chaos if it turned out the CO was a rotten apple, one way or another? This is not exactly Horatio Hornblower, where the crew consists of the dregs of the society and is ready to cut throats at the first sign of laxness from their bosses. But this is not exactly TNG, either: Kirk's crew in the early episodes
undisciplined, argumentative and less than fully committed to its duties (say, "The Man Trap"). Protecting the apparent CO from impressions of weakness might indeed be crucial, and a priority job for the XO.

Odisha strike over burn victim's death impacts life
A 12-hour Odisha strike called by BJP Saturday to protest the death of a burn victim allegedly due to medical neglect stranded many trains, affected vehicular movement and led to closure of shops and petrol pumps in some places.
There was partial impact of the strike in some parts of the state while life was normal in many other areas.
Opposition parties alleged the state government's delay in quickly shifting her to Delhi for treatment cost the girl her life.
A senior state police official told IANS that the government and private offices functioned as usual while road and rail services were partially affected in some places.
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) activists shouted anti-government slogans and picketed on roads and near government and private establishments in state capital Bhubaneswar.
Many trains remained stranded as hundreds of party workers squatted on the rail tracks. The activists also took out marches and burnt effigies of Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik, seeking his immediate resignation.
Partial impact of the protests were also felt elsewhere in the state, including in the district headquarter towns of Balasore, Bolangir, Sambalpur, Angul and Cuttack and the steel city of Rourkela.
Private and government vehicles stayed off the roads in some places as protestors burnt tyres and blocked roads. Business establishments, including shops and petrol pumps, remained closed in Balasore and Cuttack.
"Except for some protests, the strike had no impact here. We have arrested six-seven protesters," Bhubaneswar Deputy Commissioner of Police Nitinjit Singh told IANS.
The 14-year-old girl was set on fire July 28 by Pradip Das and Ekadashi Das at Kharinashi village, about 150 km from Bhubaneswar. Police arrested Pradip the next day and Ekadashi a few days later.
Police said Pradip wanted to marry the victim's elder sister. He was enraged when the family solemnised her marriage with someone else.
Pradip, a resident of the same village as the girl, allegedly began threatening the elder sister's family and also her in-laws. Along with Ekadashi, Pradip invited the victim to his house, dragged her in and poured kerosene on the girl before setting the teenager ablaze.
The teenager, a student of class VII, was shifted to Shriram Chandra Bhanja Medical College and Hospital, Cuttack after her condition worsened. The victim suffered about 70 percent burn injuries.
Doctors moved her to the hospital's central intensive care unit Wednesday after she had trouble breathing. They took her to Bhubaneswar Thursday night to fly her to Safdarjung Hospital, New Delhi for treatment.
However, they brought her to the Capital Hospital, Bhubaneswar Thursday without boarding the flight as, according to them, her condition had deteriorated. The girl died the same night.
The incident triggered protests with angry opposition and women activists organising silent marches and demonstrations across the state. The opposition Congress has announced that launch of a state-wide civil disobedience protest Aug 20.

The scientific details of this seven-year-long genetic sequencing effort, which involved 97 scientists from 22 institutions in five countries, are contained in a paper featured on the cover of the May 5 issue of the journal Nature.
The international team's achievement will have an immediate application for biomedical researchers, who can now mine the Dictyostelium genome for a host of genes that cause human disease, thus gaining a new and efficient way to study those human diseases with a simple organism in their laboratories.
For evolutionary biologists, the genetic blueprint of Dictyostelium, the first amoeba genome to be sequenced, has clarified the place that Dictyostelium occupies in the hierarchy of life.
"It is more closely related to fungi and animals than we had previously thought," says Adam Kuspa, a professor of biochemistry and molecular biology at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston and a senior author of the Nature paper.
The discovery will also improve geneticists' understanding of how the genes from Dictyostelium and other genetic model organisms have been conserved or adapted through evolution in humans and other organisms.
"The cells which gave rise to plants and animals had more types of genes available to them than are presently found in either plants or animals," explains William Loomis, a professor of biology at UCSD and one of the key members of the international sequencing effort. "Specialization appears to lead to loss of genes as well as the modification of copies of old genes. As each new genome is sequenced, we learn more about the history and physiology of the pr

Here we go again: The usual suspects - the environmentalists, the one-worlder transnationalists, the Obama administration (to the extent that is not redundant) and assorted shortsighted special interests including, regrettably, the United States Navy - are dusting off the hopelessly outdated and inequitable United Nations Law of the Sea Treaty (better, and more accurately, known as LOST) in the hope of jamming its ratification through the Senate as was done two years ago with the defective New Start Treaty.
Amazingly, they are doing so under what intelligence professionals would dub a "false flag" operation - an initiative that presents itself as one thing, in this case the "American Sovereignty Campaign," when it is exactly the opposite. If ever there were an anti-sovereignty treaty it is LOST. It speaks volumes about the lengths to which this accord's proponents have to go to conceal the reality that they are masquerading as advocates of U.S. sovereignty, not what they really are: champions of an effort to greatly reduce it.
As it happens, the poster child of this bait-and-switch may be former-Sen.-turned-lobbyist Trent Lott. In October 2007, former Senate Majority Leader Lott actually circulated a letter to his colleagues urging that the Law of the Sea Treaty be withdrawn from consideration by what was once known as "the world's greatest deliberative body."
This letter warned: "To effect the treaty's broad regime of governance, we are particularly concerned that United States sovereignty could be subjugated in many areas to a supranational government that is chartered by the United Nations under the 1982 Convention. Further, we are troubled that compulsory dispute resolution could pertain to public and private activities including law enforcement, maritime security, business operations, and nonmilitary activities performed aboard military vessels."
Today, however, Mr. Lott represents Shell Oil. His job is to lobby his former colleagues not to sign a letter that has that exact same language in it, word for word. Is that because the treaty is no longer a threat to U.S. sovereignty at the hands of "a supranational government that is chartered by the United Nations under the 1982 Convention"? Or is it simply that Mr. Lott is now a gun for hire, willing, like the campaign he is helping advance, to do or say whatever it takes to get a seriously defective treaty ratified?
How defective is LOST? Consider the following illustrative examples of its fatal flaws:
First, as Mr. Lott once warned, ratification of LOST would commit the United States to submit to mandatory dispute resolution with respect to U.S. military and industrial operations. While LOST proponents argue that the United States will choose available arbitration mechanisms to avoid legal decisions from the International Court of Justice or the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, such arbitration panels are no less perilous for U.S. interests since the decisive "swing" arbiters would be appointed by generally unfriendly U.N.-affiliated bureaucrats. The arbitration panels can also be relied upon to look to rulings by those two bodies to inform their own decisions.
Furthermore, while there is a LOST provision exempting "military activity" from such dispute resolution mechanisms, the treaty makes no attempt to define "military activity," virtually guaranteeing that such matters will be litigated - in all likelihood to our detriment - before one or another of LOST's arbitration mechanisms. The rulings of such arbitrators cannot be appealed.
Subjecting our military to the risks of such mandatory dispute resolution is all the more imprudent given that LOST provides the Navy with no navigational rights and freedoms beyond those it already enjoys under customary international law and the U.S. Freedom of Navigation program. The Navy has successfully protected American interests on the seas for more than 200 years without the United States becoming a party to LOST - including during the 30 years since LOST was concluded, in 1982. There is no compelling reason to believe that record will be improved upon by entrusting the job to international legal arrangements.
Second, the Law of the Sea Treaty contains provisions that risk putting sensitive - and in some cases, militarily useful - information and technology in the hands of America's adversaries and its companies' commercial competitors. Claims by LOST's proponents that this problem was fixed by a 1994 agreement that was not signed by all of LOST's parties cry out for close examination by the Senate and the nation.
Third, the Law of the Sea Treaty entails commitments that have far-reaching implications for U.S. businesses, far beyond the possibility of mandatory technology transfers. These include: embroiling this country in treaties bearing on commercial activities to which it is not a party; wide-ranging, intrusive and expensive environmental obligations; creating standing for foreign nationals to pursue alien torts in our courts; and jeopardizing our rights under the World Trade Organization, which was established after 1994.
Of particular concern is the fact that LOST creates an international taxation regime. It does so by empowering the International Seabed Authority to tax Americans for the purposes of meeting its own administrative costs and of globally redistributing revenue derived from the exploitation of seabed resources.
It is a travesty to portray a treaty with such clearly sovereignty-sapping provisions as an enhancement to our national sovereignty. LOST should be rejected this time - as President Reagan did 30 years ago and as Mr. Lott urged 25 years later.

UG Blogger Casey Hartsfield breaks down the extraordinary ground game of Khabib Nurmagomedov, who fights Gleison Tibau at UFC 148.
Analyzing the Ground Game: Khabib Nurmagomedov the Sambo Savant
Khabib Nurmagomedov is not just some new up and coming prospect. He is one of the best grapplers to enter the Lightweight division, and you'd be smart to take notice before he fights Gleison Tibau at UFC 148. He is a Combat Sambo World Champion and a Combat Sambo Russian National Champion. When he came to America Khabib added NAGA world Champion to his resume. At only twenty-three years old he has racked up a humble 17 wins, and 0 losses. Khabib's Sambo, Judo, and wrestling have played a huge role in getting him those wins and a UFC contract. His execution of the grappling arts is a thing of beauty and something that we will go into great detail about in this article.
Khabib made his debut on September 13th, 2008 in Poltava Ukraine. Fighting predominantly on the Russian MMA circuit, Having a small stint in M1 before joining up with ProFC Finishing all six of his opponents in the organization and earning a UFC contract.
Khabib's Shots, throws, and trips all are performed with an aggressiveness rarely seen. He is violent, and his intentions are evident when he takes the fight to the mat.
We will discuss the colorful ground techniques that are staples of Khabib Nurmagomedov's arsenal.
One of the the most overlooked aspects of MMA grappling is attacking and staying offensive while maintaining control. This requires his timing to be impeccable, and is a skill Khabib has come to exemplify in his ground attack. Khabib has an awareness to strike the instance it is required to keep himself on the winning end of the contest.
Take a look at his leg placement. One knee is between his opponents's legs in the center of his opponent's butt, while the leg is over to the left of his opponent. This is textbook wrestling right here. He even maintains the seat belt grip across his opponent's belly. This allows Khabib to keep the his opponent's hips back. When his opponent attempts to explode out the hip control becomes very important. The slowing of his movement and top pressure is drastic. This grants Khabib the awareness to release pressure and follow his opponent with out losing control.
For you triangle enthusiasts here you go. Khabib displays awesome awareness, and control. While he already has the triangle locked in, his opponent attempts a last ditch effort to break the lock. If Khabib would not have done a few specific things at the right time his opponent would have lived to fight another day. First Khabib grabs the left arm of his opponent with both hands to slow down the transition, but Khabib realizes it wont halt anything so he rolls from shoulder to shoulder with his opponent and maintains the lock. The key to this whole stand off is Khabib's timing; with out it the triangle is broken, and his opponent has earned a pass.
One a side note I'd like to point out Khabib's compactness. Never once does he allow himself to become extended. This would cause the triangle to lose leverage and for himself to lose position.
If you can't appreciate what is going on here there is no hope for you. Not only does Khabib show off some really devastating ground strikes; he does it from a wonderful position and with great control. Take a look Khabib has his opponent in a crucifix position keeping the right arm in locked with his legs in a pseudo side mount. Khabib's cups with his right arm the head forcing him down while he blasts his opponent with some really powerful punches(after the second punch his opponents mouth piece shoots out). While his record states this ended in a TKO(punches). you can watch the fight video Khabib initiates a forearm choke and then is promptly stopped by the referee. I think the referee stopped it under the pretense Khabib's opponent Vitaliy Ostrovskiy had given up.
Also Khabib stays off to the side with his crucifix rather than flattening out like Matt Hughes against BJ penn in their second fight. This allows Khabib to hit him with a lot more force as well as search for straight arm bars.
Without arguing semantics his complete constraint of Ostrovskiy is something to admire. Khabib has eliminated his entire offense and defense; both of his arms are pinned while his legs are too far to do much of anything and he can't bridge. This is total domination, and one of the best examples of a crucifix.
Who likes arm locks? This key lock is fine example. Khabib does a few things here that a large amount of people neglect to when they have this position. First he cranks the key lock while in half guard to bring the focus of his opponent to his arm rather than his legs. This distraction allows Khabib to pass from half guard to side control with ease. As soon as hes over the knee he relaxes the pressure he was putting on his opponents arm(no need to crank it again until hes in position). Khabib then proceeds to circle around to the head locking it in 'figure four' with his legs. This allows Khabib to create immense levels of torque on the shoulder of his opponent. This isn't drastically uncommon, but for key locks many competitors are content to sit in side control and work. This motion of circling to the head creates far more leverage, and requires much less energy.
The Single Leg
With all the beautiful trips, and throws from Judo and Sambo Khabib has in his arsenal, his bread and butter is his single leg shot. When Khabib gets his opponent into the corner instead of just bringing him down he has the composure to spin him 180 degrees. This removes any ability for his opponent to walk up the corner of the ring. Now back to the shot; Khabib shoots his head into his opponents Solar Plexus, but keeps it on the inside.
When performing the single leg doing this keeps Khabib's neck out of danger for the most part (being that the angle on the neck isn't exactly ideal for a Guillotine). Aside from that unlike many wrestlers who immediately tuck the leg between their legs; Khabib holds it far out to the his left side. This further negates any choke attempts. Though the point in this technique is the motion when he gets his opponent around he keeps that thigh close, and buries his head into the body. Then he creates a push pull motion; with his right shoulder and head Khabib forces his opponent down in a arc. At the same time he gives a nice yank to the leg, and elevates it completely throwing his opponent off balance. The best way to explain the motion is he is drawing a backwards 'C' with his body.
Aside from the technique it does grant the one performing the single leg a pass right into side control.
This single leg is under slightly different circumstances, but performed in a nearly identical fashion. The image does not do Khabib's speed justice at all. Most of these shots are similar and that is because consistency is a sign of skill. The main difference I see in this is shot is Khabib's level change. More specifically the speed of the move.
Notice he is standing taller than his opponent, who is obviously in fear of the shot and maintaining lower hips and stance. Yet Khabib still gets in; it is quite astonishing. More importantly his back never bends. He keeps a straight back the whole time; never arching only lowering his whole body and extending(wrestling 101). One aspect that is a bit different than most wrestlers is he doesn't bring his out side leg behind his opponents left. Instead Khabib pulls his opponents further into himself performing the same 180 as before. This shortens the fight between the attacker and the defender. For example a traditional single leg against a guy like BJ Penn would be terrible. Penn would be hopping around forever defending the take down. This removes that opportunity and promptly allows Khabib to lay his opponent on his ass and get the pass.
Passing/ Scramble Sweeps
The art of Passing and destroying to guard. Something Khabib has earned quite a reputation for. While he is very comfortable on his back; Khabib realizes it is always better to be on top when the opportunity presents its self, and he makes sure to seize those moments. Below he was attempting a triangle but instead his opponents gets both of his arms around Khabib's legs. This for the most part allows the man on top to pass the guy on bottom.
When Khabib's opponent tries to roll him over to ground and pound Khabib follows him with the roll grabbing the left leg of his enemy. Tucking the leg deep in his arm pit. This allows him to control both of them rolling from there on out. It is very import to watch what Khabib does with that leg through out the scramble. He never once lets go. Only freeing it once in the guard of his opponent and then beginning to work his passes. Back to my earlier point of his control; he chains all these actions together with out breaking the link once creating a scramble to a better position.
This is incredibly simple but I believe should be pointed out. When on top Khabib does not allow space between himself and his opponent until it is absolutely needed. Watch his forehead the entire time. He keeps it buried in the chest of the opponent. Also important is where his leg placement is the entire time. As soon as he shoots that knee down and throws his own leg over he drives it into the butt/thigh area. The only reason Khabib's left knee isn't driving into the body is his opponent's only line of defense that is left is him using his right arm to block/halt the advance of Khabib knee. As simple as this pass it is; fundamentally its far beyond what most guys will do. They leave far too much space between them and their opponent and don't emphasize their weight. In the light weight division the explosion of these athletes is far to high to not put the most weight you can on the opponent. Making his opponent carry his weight, and being heavy is not an option it is a must.
To be honest this throw is going to be incredibly difficult to analyze. One because it fits no specific technique in Judo, Sambo (even though most take downs in Sambo derive directly from Judo), or wrestling. I will attempt to describe it using all three because Khabib seems to have drawn upon on all his talents to perform this amazing Throw/Trip reversal/Slam…
The Judo and wrestling that is implemented is visible but construed unusually. Khabib's opponent attempts to use use an inside trip (discussed heavily here), while Khabib does defend in a reversal/slam fashion. Instead of traditional Judo grips on the gi (even though they are wearing gi tops) he uses a double under hook (bear hug) hold. Then using his opponents weight against himself Khabib having become perpendicular to his opponent suplexes him. While this seems very simple the whole moved relied heavily on timing. If Khabib had waited a second later he would have been tripped on to his back. Any earlier and his opponent wouldn't have been off balance (he wouldn't have been attempting a trip).
This technique from Judo known as Ouchi Gaeshi (Large Inner Reversal) has the early makings of what Khabib executes. Notice both men being reversed are going for the inside trip/Ouchi Gari (right leg of opponent is hooking the inside of the left leg of Khabib and the judo player completing the reversal). The main differences are grips(double underhooks rather than Gi collar's) and instead of tripping his opponent he suplexes/slams him. I must admit they are still very obviously different, but this is as close to pure Judo as I could match it. Though obviously the technique Khabib uses is an amalgamation of techniques rather than one specific discipline.
The best way to describe what Khabib did is to combine the Judo reversal Ouchi Gaeshi and this interesting suplex like technique Fedor used against Heath Herring in Pride while again there are largely contrasting differences here; there are many similarities that resemble what Khabib showed above. Though Fedor hits a duck under to the side of Herring which is different the position is almost identical, and has a far similar finish than the "Oechi Gaeshi" and sadly there is not a name for what Fedor did other than 'duck under slam/suplex'. In conclusion to this 'technique' Khabib performed I may not have portrayed it perfectly, but I hope it sheds some light on a awesome take down.
Here Khabib hits a move quite similar to the won above. This time he is reversing an poorly planned Osoto Otoshi (Large Outer drop).
Here at the Combat Sambo Russian Championships Khabib hits an awesome Osoto Otoshi (Large Outer drop). While he does land a bit oddly; the two men land out side of bounds and are immediately restarted in the center. What I want people to take notice of is when his opponent attempts to fake him out by pulling the gi down, Khabib immediately steps through sweeping with his right leg cutting through his opponents right leg.
Though hard to see with Khabib's right hand he throws it over right shoulder and behind the back of his opponent grabbing the gi creating much more torque and securing his position pre-sweep. While if you are a Judo player this is common knowledge but one might think this has no place in no gi events like mma. Well Rick Hawn, Karo Parisyan, and even Jon Jones all have hit take downs similar to this. Adjusting to no gi they tend to do it from the collar tie underhook or over under positions.
Here we see essentially a lateral drop from Khabib. A few things to take a glimpse of. First Khabib has the double under hook position. Secondly Khabib is creating a scissor motion with his body; more specifically when he launches his own body to the left he is chopping his opponents legs going the opposite direction. Along with the torque of his drop Khabib has a nice little sweep with the left Leg to really finish the the move. A really important factor of this technique is what he does with his left knee. Khabib over exaggerates the motion of throwing the knee into his opponents hips to really force him to go horizontal.
I'd really like to end this on spectacle that really sums up Khabib. Something that embodies the passion he holds as a fighter, and I believe I have found it.
Khabib starts off with a great hip toss with a inside leg sweep, with the same back gi grip as Osoto Otoshi. His opponent does roll threw, and survives the first throw. Though Khabib immediately foot sweeps him and he is pancaked into the mat. To be honest the foot sweep looks like a incredibly violent Okuriashi Harai (Following Foot Sweep).
Khabib does sweep with the inside of his left foot which is correct, but its just so fast and powerful. Khabib's opponent pauses on the ground likely rocked. Then he gathers his bearings and is immediately barraged and receives a inside trip/Ouchi Gari right at the end.
As we saw Khabib has great explosive use of Judo/Sambo trips and throws. A wonderful single leg and a nice resume to go along with it.
We are only a few days away from Khabib's second UFC appearance against Brazilian Gleison Tibau at UFC 148. We will see if this grappling phenom can handle the veteran in Tibau. I will say this is going to really test Khabib, but there is a very good chance his grappling abilities could coast him right to a victory. If you have followed Khabib than it is understood the opportunity he has here. More importantly if you enjoy grappling tune in this weekend you should not be disappointed.

Enjoying the read.
Tibau opened up at -165 and has moved to -183. Tibau is a BJJ belt belt with 89% take down defense... going to be a tough fight for Nurmagomedov.

You are welcome.
As a Sambo guy who has trained 8+ years with a Russian Master of Sport, it is great to see Sambo getting highlighted.
As more ex-USSR guys, with Sambo backgrounds, enter MMA i hope to see greater exposure of what Sambo has to offer on the feet and on the ground.
It is refreshing to see that not all stand up = wrestling and all ground work = BJJ. Fedor (my GOAT) is just the start..

Awesome to see something about an actual fight on here.
Khabib/Tibau is the second best fight on the card imo. A solid top 15 vet against a very interesting prospect in the most entertaining division in the sport. Could be a little too soon for Khabib though

"Introduction: Reichsleiter Bormann has requested me to give you a review today of the strategic position at the beginning of the fifth year of war.
"I must admit that it was not without hesitation that I undertook this none-too-easy task. It is not possible to do it justice with a few generalities. It is not necessary to talk about what will come but one must say frankly what the situation is. No one, the Führer has ordered, may know more or be told more than he needs for his own immediate task, but I have no doubt at all in my mind, gentlemen, but that you need a great deal, in order to be able to cope with your tasks. It is in your Gaue, after all, and among their inhabitants that all the widespread enemy propaganda, defeatism, and malicious rumors are concentrated. Up and down the country the devil of subversion strides. All the cowards are seeking a way out, or--as they call it--a political solution. They say we must negotiate while there is still something in hand, and all these slogans are made use of to attack the natural feeling of the people, that in this war there can only be a fight to the end. Capitulation is the end of the nation; the end of Germany. Against this wave of enemy propaganda and cowardice you need more than force. You need to know the true situation, and for this reason I believe that I am justified in giving you a perfectly open and unvarnished account of the present state of affairs. This is no forbidden disclosure of secrets, but a weapon which may perhaps help you to fortify the morale of the people. For this war will not only be decided by force of arms, but by the will to resist of the entire people. Germany was broken in 1918 not at the front but at home. Italy suffered not military defeat but moral defeat. She broke down internally. The result has been not the peace she expected but--through the cowardice of these criminal trai-
