Academics at Minerva are demanding.
The intensive program requires your full participation in every class and the initiative to direct your course of study — from defining the focus of your guided tutorials to creating your final capstone project.
Our learning-centric methodology is designed to dramatically improve the way you think.
Based on decades of research into how people learn best, our pedagogic approach stimulates deeper cognition, greater conceptual understanding, and the development of critical skills that will serve you for the rest of your life.
Through four years of rigorous, interdisciplinary study, you prepare for a dynamic, global future.
By challenging you to explore broadly, while gaining deep knowledge in your selected field, the Minerva curriculum promotes the development of practical skills that will enable you to adapt as the world changes.
Your coursework is structured to allow both broad exploration and increasing specialization.
After the first-year Cornerstone courses, which are wholly interdisciplinary, every term is progressively more focused. While majors enable study across each field, the third-year Concentrations provide deep expertise in one specific area.
All your classes are small and discussion-based because active learning is proven to be more effective than passive lectures.
Each intimate session is conducted on an advanced technology platform, called the Active Learning Forum, which is expressly built to engage you in the course material by requiring your active participation in class.
Each discussion-based seminar, with fewer than 20 participants, pushes you to continuously interact with your professors and classmates. Through this deep collaboration, you learn to question assumptions, analyze information, perform simulations, devise novel solutions, and fundamentally reshape the way you think.
This video demonstrates many of the features and benefits of the Active Learning Forum.
You can accelerate your academic progress, graduating with two degrees in only four years.
The concurrent Master's in Applied Arts & Sciences allows you to complete both your Bachelor's degree and a Master's degree in parallel. If you take on the additional course load, you will be prepared to contribute to prospective employers or graduate programs at a very high level.
The Minerva faculty come from diverse backgrounds, but share a common passion: student learning. Unlike the tenured positions at other institutions, your professors are dedicated to providing the highest quality education possible.
In this short film, faculty members discuss their passions, expertise, and remarkable personal stories.
"I really wanted to have an impact. I wanted the research that I've been conducting and studying for decades to be used to help students learn effectively."
"The arts and humanities are the foundation of creative expression, historical and cultural understanding, and an ability to grasp the human condition."
"A thorough grounding in the logical analysis of arguments and the use of computational tools to solve problems is the sine qua non to be a citizen of modern society."
"Understanding natural sciences from minute particles to larger organisms to our planet's systems provides the basis for solving many of our greatest challenges."
"People are social beings. The social sciences provide a systematic understanding of ourselves, our groups, and our institutions, as well as our motivations and beliefs."
"Having spent many years in a traditional university environment, I saw all the flaws in the higher education system. Minerva is an incredible opportunity to correct those flaws."

Science and technology have had a tremendous impact on the modern world. Conceptions of nature-physical, vital, human-change through time, transforming political, social, and spiritual life. Historians of science study these developments, and try to understand how, in different times and places, human beings have made sense of their world (and tried to mobilize what they learned).
From Copernicus to the atom bomb, from Archimedes to Freud, the history of science investigates dramatic changes in scientific ideas, and unfolds their complex implications.
Currently, courses in the history of science for undergraduates are offered in the history department, and they cover topics ranging from the scientific revolution to the history of biology in the twentieth century. These courses are open to anyone curious about science and society.
In addition, the department offers a concentration in the history of science. Concentrators are exempt from most of the ordinary distribution and entry requirements for the history department, since several of their science courses count as departmentals. The number of concentrators varies from year to year, but it is generally around a dozen students, quite a few of whom are also pre-med (the concentration is designed to take advantage of the pre-med requirements, reducing the overall course load for pre-meds who want to study history).
The history of science concentration combines many of the advantages of a small major (close work with faculty, a strong sense of community), with all the virtues of a large department (since students can draw on the resources of the whole history department as well). If you are interested in science and/or engineering, but also enjoy the humanities, history of science could be for you. For more information about the concentration, please contact Professor Katja Guenther.
Concentrators in the history of science do all kinds of things after graduation: in addition to medical school, law school, and business school, our students have gone on in banking, consulting, teaching, and politics. Because of the ever-increasing importance of science and technology in daily life, a concentration in the history of science can be a real advantage with many potential employers. It demonstrates an interest in, and some proficiency with, technical fields like computing, mathematics, and molecular biology along with concern for the broader social impact of innovation. This sort of training is good for doctors, but also for patent lawyers, designers, product developers, venture capitalists, and indeed anyone who needs to think about the future of science and technology.
With the permission of the Departmental Representative, one of these courses may be replaced by a cognate course from another department, for example, in philosophy or sociology of science.

Fetishes were originally carved by Native American tribes to ceremonially capture the spirit of the animal they represent. They were tied with offerings of shells, stones, or feathers, and were "fed" with corn pollen or other foods as an offering to the spirit of the fetish. The Zuni as well as other Pueblo tribes kept their fetishes in jars inside of their kivas, and only brought them out only for specific ceremonies. Some fetishes are not carved for ceremonies, but for art; however, certain restrictions and taboos may be observed when created.
The unique character of each American Indian stone carving is due to the variety of the stone or shell, and each is piece is carved by hand. Fetishes are made of many forms and or materials, but they all have a purpose, which is to assist man against any potential or real problems, which include those of the body, mind, or universe.
Fetishes may be decorated with various items such as turquoise, coral, or arrowheads for adornment, which shows the appreciation or affection for the artist of the recipient. The performance of a fetish depends upon the care or treatment it receives in someoneâs possession.
Larger hand carved sculptures, often of Native Limestone, alabaster, and other minerals, are created without the concept of ceremonialism and for artistic display; however, they still reflect Native American religion and cosmology. Some pieces may be realistic, depict everyday life, express Native American spirituality with ancient symbols, or more abstract in design. Each fetish carving exhibits the characteristics of the various Native American cultures and heritage.
The Zuni Indians believe in six cardinal guardian fetishes, and each symbolizes a direction and has a particular animal and color synonymous with that direction. The guardian fetish of the North is yellow and the mountain lion. The South is red and the badger. The West is blue and the bear. The East is white and the wolf. The inner earth, or nadir, is black and the mole, and the sky, or Zepath, is represented by the eagle and no specific color.
Some of the meanings and characteristics of the Zuni fetishes include: Armadillo: a slow, sure animal; no hurry; gets things right; keeper of the home Badger: the ability to reach a desired goal Bear: inner power to perceive oneâs present circumstances; strength Beaver: progressive builder; establishes and promotes family unity Buffalo: steadfast endurance to rise above one's weakness Coyote: humor; the ability to laugh at oneself Eagle: soaring spirit transcending personal problems; a connection to the Divine Fox: protection; camouflage camouflage Frog: able to petition the spirits to bring forth abundant rain Horned Toad: self-reliance; longevity in life; conservation of native bounty. Horse: one of the two fetishes that has innate healing powers Mole: amplifies connections to with the earth; keeper of the underground Mountain Lion: resourcefulness; leadership Owl: keeper of the night; controls the dark side of nature; wise, smart, patient, and endurance of mind. Ram: used to gain an increase of herds Raven: the beak, when scratched across an afflicted person's skull, releases its healing powers Snake: power symbol of life, death, and rebirth Turtle: long, meaningful life Wolf: a teacher; a path finder on a never ending journey for survival

I didn't like the feeling I had on my lips after putting on the lip stain. It was cold and felt like my lips were numb. The color was perfect though but I don't intend to purchase this lip stain again in the future.

C.I.A. Had Hints of a Spy Years Before Hunt Began
By TIM WEINER,
Published: March 2, 1994
WASHINGTON, March 1— The C.I.A. first became aware that Aldrich H. Ames might be a Soviet mole nearly seven years ago, but failed to focus on evidence pointing at the intelligence officer until last year, when agents finally searched his office, intelligence officials and members of Congress said today.
Recounting the investigation that led to Mr. Ames's being charged with spying for Moscow, they said the C.I.A.'s investigation of a suspected traitor in its ranks rose and fell in intensity over the years.
For instance, they said the agency took two years to question Mr. Ames about a 1989 tip from one of its own officers that Mr. Ames, who the Government says received as much as $2.7 million from the Soviet Union, was living far beyond his means. Another year passed before the agency tried to verify Mr. Ames's response that his wife had inherited money.
The investigation finally intensified in 1992, the officials said, when Mr. Ames committed an act so careless that he betrayed himself, traveling to Venezuela after telling his superiors that he was going to Colombia to visit his mother-in-law. But not until June 1993 did the C.I.A.'s internal-security officers search Mr. Ames's office.
Court papers released today by the Federal Bureau of Investigation portrayed Mr. Ames as a spy who grew careless in the extreme, but the intelligence and Congressional officials also described the C.I.A.'s long in-house search for him as hapless. A Seven-Year 'Debacle'
" 'Unfocused' would be a kind way to put it," said Robert G. Torricelli, a New Jersey Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee. "It's almost unbelievable. The system did not work."
Mr. Torricelli praised the F.B.I.'s work on the case in recent months, but said, "The C.I.A.'s work for the seven preceding years was a debacle."
Eight of the 10 Soviet and Eastern ropean agents whom Mr. Ames is suspected of betraying were executed in Moscow between the time he first came under investigation at the C.I.A. and the time of his arrest, said members of Congress who had been briefed by senior officers of both the F.B.I. and the intelligence agency.
"In all, there are 10 executions tied to Ames," an intelligence official said, "and most happened during these seven years he was under investigation."
"These were key people involved in every component of the Soviet bureaucracy," including senior intelligence officials and a top nuclear weapons expert, the official said.
The Central Intelligence Agency's search for a mole began in 1986, after two intelligence officers at the Soviet Embassy in Washington, Valery F. Martinov and Sergei M. Motorin, who at great risk had been recruited as double agents by the F.B.I., were recalled to Moscow, arrested, tried and executed by firing squad.
In addition, the senior American officers said, the C.I.A.'s most important operations against the Soviet Union were inexplicably failing.
At first, intelligence officials said, the best explanation was that the spy responsible was either Edward Lee Howard, a C.I.A. officer who defected to the Soviet Union in 1985, or Clayton Lonetree, a Marine guard convicted of spying from his post at the United States Embassy in Moscow.
But by late 1986 or early 1987, said Robert M. Gates, the former Director of Central Intelligence, the C.I.A. knew that it had "a continuing problem in our operations dealing with the Soviet Union that could not be explained by Edward Lee Howard or Clayton Lonetree." Search for a Mole
Mr. Gates, who was Deputy Director of Central Intelligence in the mid 80's, said the small and extremely secret team assigned to uncover the mole took so long to do so because the suspects were numerous and the team's work extremely delicate. A C.I.A. officer's career can be ruined, Mr. Gates said, if it becomes known that he is even suspected of double-dealing.
Then, in 1989, the C.I.A. was jolted when three more of its most-valued double agents in the Soviet Union disappeared, intelligence officials and members of Congress said. Two of the agents were working under diplomatic cover in the United States; the third worked abroad. All were executed by firing squad.
At least 200 C.I.A. officers had access to the information that Mr. Martinov, Mr. Motorin and the double agents who disappeared in 1989 were working for the United States. All eventually came under scrutiny.
But from 1987 to 1991, when William H. Webster, the former Director of the F.B.I. headed the intelligence agency, the investigation floundered.
Not until a joint C.I.A.-F.B.I. task force began working on the cases in 1991 did the investigation gain momentum. The group narrowed its number of suspects to 20, including Mr. Ames. Still, C.I.A. officers overlooked or ignored facts that could have implicated him, intelligence officials and legislators said.
For example, they said, a C.I.A. colleague voiced suspicion of Mr. Ames in late 1989 because he appeared to have a great deal of money for someone who made less than $70,000 a year. That year, Mr. Ames paid $540,000 in cash for a house in Arlington, Va.
Yet two years passed before Mr. Ames was directly confronted with questions about his new-found wealth, they said. He explained that the money was an inheritance from the family of his Colombian-born wife. Another year passed before the C.I.A. investigated. Trying to Trace Inheritance
"In 1992, the C.I.A. launches a hapless investigation in Colombia," one intelligence official said. "They were unable, despite their vast resources, to find the will of his wife's father." Mr. Torricelli said the intelligence agency "appeared to make no significant effort to get that will."
In the three years that passed between the tip about Mr. Ames's wealth and the failed investigation in Colombia, two high-ranking Soviet agents working for the C.I.A. -- a senior counterintelligence officer and a nuclear-weapons specialist -- were executed. In those years, Mr. Ames was depositing at least $278,000 in cash into his personal banking accounts, buying a Jaguar and running up thousands of dollars a month in credit-card charges.
In this period, Mr. Ames passed a C.I.A. lie detector test and retained access to highly classified documents about operations in Moscow, despite being transferred to a less sensitive posting in counternarcotics.
Not until October 1992 did Mr. Ames blunder and invite greater scrutiny. He told his superiors that he was going to Bogota, Colombia, to visit his mother-in-law, but instead he went to Caracas, Venezuela, where, according to an F.B.I. affidavit, he met a Russian contact. His travels were under surveillance, and the lie to his superiors was a clue too large to overlook.
"That finally intensified the investigation," an intelligence official said. Still, it was not until June 1993 that the C.I.A.'s internal-security officers searched Mr. Ames's office.
There they found internal documents about important counterintelligence operations that had nothing to do with Mr. Ames's work in counternarcotics. Within weeks, the F.B.I. was searching through the trash outside Mr. Ames's house, tapping into his computer and watching his every move.

First song's the best of the batch. Languid moods, splendid tunes.

Claim Tina's Profile
[email protected]
Fey first broke into comedy as a featured player in the Chicago-based improvisational comedy group The Second City. She then joined Saturday Night Live as a writer, later becoming head writer and a performer, known for her position as co-anchor in the Weekend Update segment. In 2004 she adapted the screenplay Mean Girls in which she also co-starred. After leaving SNL in 2006, she created the television series 30 Rock, a situation comedy loosely based on her experiences at SNL. In the series, Fey portrays the head writer of a fictional sketch comedy series. In 2008, she starred in the comedy film Baby Mama, alongside former SNL co-star Amy Poehler. Fey next appeared alongside Steve Carell in the 2010 comedy film Date Night and with Will Ferrell in the animated film Megamind.
Tina has received seven Emmy Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, four Screen Actors Guild Awards, four Writers Guild of America Awards and has been nominated for a Grammy Award for her autobiographical book Bossypants, which topped the The New York Times Best Seller list for five weeks. In 2008, the Associated Press (AP) gave Fey the AP Entertainer of the Year award for her satirical portrayal of Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin in a guest appearance on SNL. In 2010, Fey was the recipient of the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, the youngest-ever winner of the award.
On October 15, 2012 it was announced that Fey would be hosting the Golden Globe Awards on January 13, 2013 along with her long-time friend and fellow comedian, Amy Poehler. This will be the first time the awards ceremony is not hosted by a man.

Amid the cloud of the Oscars diversity flap, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has unveiled the first batch of presenters for the 88th Academy Awards next month. It certainly is a diverse list that includes a number of pop stars and veteran actors. The group includes Benicio Del Toro, Tina Fey, Whoopi Goldberg, Ryan Gosling, Kevin Hart, Lady Gaga, Sam Smith, Charlize Theron, Jacob Tremblay, The Weeknd and Pharrell Williams.
It's a close battle as Tina Fey is likely to get, but playing a real-life correspondent in Afghanistan in "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot" gave her some pretty good war stories.
Like the scene in the movie opening Friday in which her character dodges bullets to get footage of a firefight involving the Marine unit she's embedded with.
"Every single interviewer asked, 'Isn't this an amazing time for women in comedy?'"
War is hell, but sometimes working as a reporter in a war zone is not. Many a journalist's dream job involves embedding with troops, digging into life where a faraway conflict is being waged and sending accurate, coherent stories to readers back home.

About Me
I am a photographer, but since late winter this year, I decided to start shooting myself. I am free to express myself more freely and I really enjoy focusing on the art and expression instead of the looking good part like I am when I shoot others or for others.
I am not really a model. I am actually a photographer, but am going through a phase of self portraits. Creating this portfolio to have a place to share that work.
I don't check the email on this profile terribly often, but feel free to write me through my photographer page, MM # 500111.

Credit Notes
Here are some touching comments I have received since starting this project:
"Sometimes it seems (to me) that these are not really self portraits at all or, rather, that they are self portraits that the building would take of itself if it could. The photos feel like the building is baring its soul or heart and you, in the image, are the embodiment or personification of that heart.
This is what I see when I look at this project and I find the photos incredibly powerful for being able to give the buildings a voice."
"Your ability to connect with that which is not human facilitates a transcendental experience. I have spent 20 years connecting with the non-human environment and finding ways to manifest that on the film plane. You give these places respect and treat them as any man would treat a dying stranger, whom he or she stumbled upon, unable to help ... whose only request of you, be that you find a way for others to see what you have seen and possibly connect with the truth of who we are as a species ... and what we leave behind.
Your use of your body as a contrasting device not only amplifies the intensity but truly brings everything to life."

PARIS (Reuters) - As thousands of girls and young women prepare to start the new school year in France, activists are sounding the alarm over those who are missing -- teenagers sent abroad over the holidays and forced into marriage.
Most victims are of Asian, African or Middle Eastern descent and belong to France's Muslim community, the largest in Europe.
While countries such as Britain have set up special units that track down victims at home and overseas, activists say France is only now waking up to the problem.
"For a long time this used to be considered a cultural thing," Fatima Lalem, who is in charge of gender equality at Paris City Hall, told Reuters. "Something that happens, but that people don't look at too closely." Over the past year, France has begun to tackle the problem more aggressively. Last November, Paris City Hall published a guide advising officials on detecting forced marriages.
But former victims and activists, many of them second- or third-generation immigrants working in France's multicultural suburbs, said such moves were unlikely to help women married off abroad, or scared into silence.
Zeliha Alkis, who works for Elele, a non-profit organization that mainly helps women of Turkish origin, cites the example of a young woman of Turkish descent who was married to a Turkish man at a Paris town hall this summer. On her wedding night, she was locked in a room, and when she screamed and protested, her grandmother tied her up so the marriage could be consummated.
In many other cases, the women are married in the family's country of origin. Reasons include the family wanting to ensure the woman marries a candidate deemed suitable, settling a debt and procuring a visa for the groom. Unlike arranged marriage, which can be consensual, these weddings are performed against the women's will.
"Early June to late September is our busiest period, after the wedding was celebrated over there, and then the young woman calls us and says, what do I do now, I don't want that husband," said Alkis, who has received death threats from angry families.
No one knows exactly how many French women are forced into such unions. A report on women's rights by France's high council for integration in 2003 put the number of girls and women at risk of being forced into marriage at 70,000, based on research by grassroots organizations.
Christine Jamaa, head of non-profit organization Voix de Femmes, and her team help more than 200 women a year flee forced marriages or escape before the wedding.
Since more than half of them are under the age of 20 and at school or college, Jamaa is asking the government to set up an early warning system for those who disappear over the holidays.
"There are those who don't come back from the summer holidays and sometimes the schools only react in October, even in February," Jamaa told Reuters at her office north of Paris.
France has at times steered an awkward course between trying to respect its ethnic minorities and defending women's rights; last year, a French court annulled the marriage of a Muslim woman on the grounds that she lied about being a virgin.
Similarly, some see forced marriage as a religious issue, even though Islam bans it and imams helping the women have been threatened.
In the families' countries of origin, forced marriage tends to be illegal and less widespread than in migrant communities.
For now, activists rely on friends, siblings, teachers or the victims themselves to alert them. Sympathetic French consulates abroad may then intervene to delay a husband's visa.
One such consulate assisted the escape of Fatou Diouf, a 28-year-old Muslim woman of Senegalese descent.
She was lured abroad at the age of 18 -- her father told her he had won a trip to Senegal and gave her the ticket. When she arrived, she was told she had already been married off to her 36-year-old uncle in a religious ceremony that did not require the spouses to be present.
After seven months in confinement, she fled with the help of a local who put her in touch with the French consulate. Now, she works for a women's organization, Femmes Solidaires, in a tiny office in the shadow of grimy tower blocks south of Paris.
"There are more and more girls who are speaking out," she told Reuters. "But exercising the right to say no automatically means cutting the ties with the family."

Finally, the report on Osama bin Laden's killing on May 2, 2011 has been leaked. The much-awaited document has revealed a lot of astonishing information that even Pakistanis didn't know despite the fact that the world's most wanted man was living among then for almost a decade!
Let's discuss each fact and analyze how much Osama bin Laden was hiding, apart from himself of course, from the world and especially Pakistanis.
1- He Used To Watch Television:
Pakistanis didn't have the slightest idea that Osama bin Laden, the master of all militants, would own a television set. It's just crazy. Who would've thought that a man fighting against Western cultural "invasion" had cable television at home! This fact is as astonishing for Pakistanis as it is for other people in the world.
2- He Wore A Cowboy Hat To Hide His Identity:
This is even more shocking than the television set! The man actually wore a cowboy hat as disguise. It is a miracle that he managed to do so for nine years because in Pakistan, NO one is used to watching people wearing such hats or any hats for that matter. In fact, a person wearing a cowboy hat attracts more attention! How did he manage to fool us all these years?
3- His Vehicle Was Stopped For Speeding:
According to one source, Bin Laden's vehicle was once stopped in Swat (a popular tourist spot in Pakistan) for speeding. But police officers unsurprisingly failed to recognize him somewhere in 2002 or 2003. Another reason to be proud of our security.
4- He Was Living Near The Military Academy Near Abbotabad:
Even if, for once, Pakistanis would have known that the notorious Bin Laden was living amongst them, they wouldn't have imagined him living near the popular military academy in Abbotabad. This fact was not only shocking and outrageous; it was also embarrassing and depressing for the Pakistani population who are mostly very (very) proud of their armed forces.
5- He Actually Existed!
The last and probably the most unbelievable fact about Osama bin Laden, especially for the people of Pakistan, was that he actually existed! There is a considerable amount of Pakistanis who believe that the man didn't exist and that he was anything but real. In fact, even when the news of his existence and immediately after that, his death was broken, people still thought that the whole thing was just another made-up story. There are many conspiracy theories regarding Osama bin Laden in Pakistan but then again, it is a completely different topic.
This take on Osama bin Laden's death and life might be in poor taste, for some. But this is an indirect message to the Pakistani government, military and intelligence agencies how embarrassing the whole matter has proven to be for Pakistan. Their 'incompetence' is not just a source of political shame, but has also dishonored Pakistanis as a nation.
Even if the conspiracy theories are true, the fact they were unable to stop May 2 from happening is humiliating, very humiliating. And now, we have an official report as evidence. Just great.

It's former OK! Magazine publisher Lori Burgess. Richard Beckman, CEO of e5 Global Media, made the announcement this morning. Burgess was previously publisher of OK! Magazine since October 2008. Prior to joining OK!, Burgess was SVP Publishing Director at Niche Media (Gotham, Hamptons, and Los Angeles Confidential), VP Publisher House & Garden, and VP Publisher Elle. "Lori has an exceptional track record growing business and delivering results," the statement quoted Beckman as saying. "This ability combined with her entertainment and luxury marketing experience make her the perfect person to helm The Hollywood Reporter." It sounds like Burgess is the right choice to head up THR's planned monthly glossy magazine. And she fits into the new owners' plans to abandon the traditional trade format and formula.
Hollywood Reporter Hires New Publisher
11 Comments
When are they going to start the monthly magazine format?
take the day it folds and subtract a day.
What????????? No bashing THR today???
does that mean we the readers will now be on 'baby bump patrol'?
Congratulations on the new publisher. If the magazine isn't going to remain a daily, then why not a weekly, like an 'Entertainment Weekly' for the B2B set? The writing/analytical talent is there.
What a farce. He was looking for a game changer…This looks like a hire from Craigslist.
How about finally digitizing HR's archives? It's 2010 and I have to make a minimum 4-hour trip to a university library to see anything written in the 1980s.
This sounds like a desperate attempt to find a captain willing to steer a sinking ship. RIP THR.
The only hollywood reporter is Nikki!!
Whatever! The blind leading the blind… House & Garden? Hamptons? THR.I.P.
Does that mean HR will become as reliable and truthful as OK! from now on?

J.C. Tretter Is Solid in Debut as Green Bay Packers' Starting Center
There is usually not much to learn about a football team from a preseason game in the NFL. Yet, you can learn a lot about the players that are fighting for a place in the starting lineup or a spot on the 53-man roster. That is what the preseason is about. Players establishing themselves. Teams don't care about the outcome of the game but they sure as hell care about how their players perform, especially untested ones.
For the Green Bay Packers, one key player who needed to prove himself Saturday Night against the Tennessee Titans was center J.C. Tretter and in his first ever start at center for the Packers, he acquitted himself well.
Tretter, a fourth-round draft pick from Cornell in 2013, made the transition from left tackle to center last season as a rookie but got no regular season snaps thanks to a broken ankle he suffered in OTA's. Yet, last night, Tretter started and played three series for the Packers at center and more than held his own.
The biggest challenge Tretter faced against the Titans may have been the weather as the teams played in a downpour. But even under those conditions, the second-year man handled himself well and there were no bad snaps. He also did a good job in the running game and had a key block on James Starks 20-yard rushing touchdown on the Packers' first possession.
"To go out in your first NFL start, and you have to play in a rain storm, I don't know if we could create a tougher situation for a center," Packers head coach McCarthy told the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. "You couldn't ask for that. Talking to players, you remember games like that when you were a kid. It was fun to play in that tonight."
Yes it was only preseason but the Packers have to feel good about the way Tretter played. He proved that the game is not too big for him and that he can handle starting caliber defensive lineman in the NFL. One thing to watch going forward is seeing how much time Tretter will get with Rodgers this preseason but as of now, it appears the Packers have found their starting center.

"If the policy pursued by me was wrong, then all former telecom ministers since 1993 should also be in jail with me (Mr Raja)," senior advocate Sushil Kumar, appearing for the former telecom minister said while opposing framing of charges against Mr Raja
New Delhi: Former telecom minister A Raja today defended himself against corruption charges in the second generation (2G) spectrum allocation scam, saying he had not done anything wrong and was merely following the policies pursued by his predecessors and the NDA government, reports PTI.
The 47-year-old DMK MP pleaded before special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) judge OP Saini that there was nothing wrong in his decision of not auctioning 2G spectrum as he had "implemented only what I have inherited."
Senior advocate Sushil Kumar, appearing for the former telecom minister said if Mr Raja is being prosecuted for following a certain policy then all telecom ministers since 1993 are liable to be prosecuted as they too followed the same policy.
"If the policy pursued by me was wrong, then all former telecom ministers since 1993 should also be in jail with me (Mr Raja)," the counsel said while opposing framing of charges against Mr Raja.
He said, "As telecom minster Arun Shourie distributed 26 licences while Dayanidhi Maran distributed 25 and I (Mr Raja) distributed 122 licences. Numbers make no difference, however, it is to be noted that none of them auctioned the spectrum.
"If they had done no wrong, why am I being questioned? Let them deny that they have not done what I did. I was just following the 2003 Cabinet decision that is not to auction 2G spectrum. If I am following the law, I am not liable to be prosecuted. In fact, I should be rewarded," Mr Raja said.
While defending his policy as telecom minister, Mr Raja submitted that it is because of his policy that mobile phone call rates came down and they became affordable to even a 'rickshaw wala'.
"It was my obligation to social justice that every man on the street should have a mobile phone. I am a servant of my people and I made the call rates of mobile phone so cheap that even a 'rickshaw wala' or a maid servant can be seen using it," Mr Raja said.
Mr Raja, who was arrested on 2nd February for his alleged role in the 2G scam, today began his arguments opposing charges of cheating, forgery and criminal conspiracy against him.
The arguments are still continuing.
CBI had begun its arguments on framing of charges against Mr Raja and 16 others, including three telecom firms, from 21st July and had completed its arguments on 23rd July.
All the 14 accused including DMK MP Kanimozhi are presently lodged in the Tihar Jail.
The second generation of reforms, according to experts, would require further freeing of sectors like insurance, banking and retail, strengthening of infrastructure, streamlining of the legal system, removal of corruption, improvement of the public delivery system and creation of credible social infrastructure
New Delhi: India's economic liberalisation initiated by the then finance minister and present prime minister Manmohan Singh 20 years ago has come full circle and the time has come to launch the second phase of the programme so that benefits could also reach the common man, reports PTI.
"We have to do more. Now is the time to give the economic reforms one more push so that the poor people of the country can benefit even more," said Ficci secretary general Rajiv Kumar in his comments on the completion of two decades of the launch of the economic liberalisation programme.
Expressing similar opinion, CII director general Chandrajeet Banerjee said, "The time has come for the next level of economic reforms. We would like to see much more happening in sectors like education, agriculture, health care and in adoption of modern technology."
The second generation of reforms, according to experts, would require further freeing of sectors like insurance, banking and retail, strengthening of infrastructure, streamlining of the legal system, removal of corruption, improvement of the public delivery system and creation of credible social infrastructure.
It was on this day two decades ago in 1991, the then finance minister Manmohan Singh laid the foundation of economic reforms in his budget speech in the Lok Sabha and announced concrete steps to decisively move away from the centralised planning regime and align India with the global economy.
Since then there has been no looking back, and the government through a series of calibrates steps opened the Indian economy allowing foreign investments even in sectors like insurance and banking, privatising public sector undertakings and freeing the financial sector.
As a result of the economic reforms, India came out of the syndrome of the Hindu rate of growth and achieved 8%-9% economic expansion to become the fastest growing free market economy in the world.
India's economic growth rate today is only second to that of China. India was growing at over 9% before the global economic crisis in 2008 and is likely to revert to the same level in the 12th Five Year Plan beginning 1 April 2012.
The country, however, has not been able to effectively deal with problems of poverty and those concerning inflation and corruption as they continue to haunt the policy markers.
Besides poverty alleviation, Assocham secretary general DS Rawat said, "The country desperately needs to improve its infrastructure sector. It is necessary to boost the manufacturing sector and generate mass employment."
Commenting on the achievements during the two decades of reforms, noted economist YK Alagh said, "Global competitiveness of Indian companies have increased and some Indian companies achieved Mahalnobis' dream by acquiring large MNCs abroad, which we could not achieve with centralised planning."
Noting that the difference between the rich and the poor has increased after the reforms, he said, "It has increased as much in China."
One of the major achievements of India's economic reform, according to Crisil's chief economist DK Joshi, "is that we have been able to achieve higher growth rate. Indian economy grew by around 7% on an average over the past two decades and by 9% by 2005 to 2007."
"Productivity of our enterprises increased. India is now the fastest growing economy after China. A lot of things happened on public private partnership. Per capita income of Indian increased several times," he added.
The government would need to expedite the second phase of reforms to achieve sustained growth, he said, while welcoming the recent decision of the committee of secretaries (CoS) of opening of the multi-brand retail to foreign investment.
"We can say the government is taking gradual steps towards economic reforms," Mr Joshi added.
The average quantum of stock-purchase activities in the days before companies announce their quarterly results has been much more than the daily average for other parts of a quarter, leading to a case for suspicion by the market regulator. SEBI has initiated a probe whether this upsurge in FII buying activities was due to any insider information about the corporate results
New Delhi: Suspecting a possible foul play by some foreign investors in the stock market, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) is probing into a strange upsurge in their buying activities days before the companies announce their quarterly results, reports PTI.
Companies generally begin announcing their financial results after about a week of the end of every quarter and it is common for investors to base their investment decisions on these figures.
However, in a strange pattern noticed for the past few quarters, foreign institutional investors (FIIs) are embarking on an above-normal stock buying spree during days before the start of the corporate earnings season.
This buying spree generally begins about 10 days before the earnings season and stops 2-3 days before the results start coming out.
The average quantum of stock-purchase activities in these days has been much more than the daily average for other parts of a quarter, leading to a case for suspicion by market regulator SEBI, sources said.
While the investigation is in initial stage, it is being probed that whether this upsurge in FII buying activities was due to any insider information about the corporate results, they added.
There have been only 4-5 days during such periods in past one-and-a-half year when FIIs have been net sellers of stocks.
This strange trend has been noticed for past few quarters, when corporate results have not been very good due to factors like soaring inflation, economic slowdown and rising interest costs.
In this backdrop, SEBI is investigating whether FIIs are getting any prior information about the companies not being able to post a strong set of results. It is being probed that whether the shares are being purchased with an intention to sell in a pre-earnings rally, which generally builds up a day or two before the quarterly results.
A senior official said that the daily average for net purchase by FIIs so far in 2011 stands below Rs100 crore, but they have been purchasing shares worth an average of more than Rs1,000 crore during the 5-10 days before the beginning of quarterly results.
A similar pattern was noticed also for the figures for 2010, when the average daily FII inflow into stocks stood at about Rs500 crore but the last 5-10 days before the earnings season was an average net inflow of close to Rs1,000 crore.
Besides, the daily stock purchase by FIIs during these days has also been generally higher than the average figures for the respective months since 2010, with only exception being the days before the earnings season for the July-September 2010 quarter, sources said.
In many cases, the FIIs have turned net sellers soon after the beginning of the earnings season, after purchasing heavily during the days before the result announcements.
A recent brokerage report from Kotak Institutional Equities also said that it has noticed "a peculiar phenomenon of large FII inflows into the Indian market in the last 5-6 trading sessions of quarter-ending months."
It said that these flows were always positive and disproportionately large compared to the rest of the month, and were also significantly higher than those during similar periods in other months.
"We do not have an answer to this phenomenon but would be curious to understand the reasons for the disproportionate flows," the report said.
Kotak said that "over the past six quarters, the Indian market has seen average inflows of $1.1 billion in the last five trading sessions of the quarter-ending months (June, September, December and March)."
"This compares with about $400 million of average monthly inflows over the past 18 months and only $58 million of net inflows excluding the quarter-ending months," the report said.
"It would be too much to expect that our observation is just mere coincidence. However, we do not have an explanation for this currently," it added, while ruling out factors like low valuation for this strange trend.

I'm sure that if I just go ahead and try to change things the way I think, I'll get tons of flames for not doing it the right way. Hence I ask first. -- __________________________________________________________________ Stas Bekman JAm_pH ------> Just Another mod_perl Hacker http://stason.org/ mod_perl Guide ---> http://perl.apache.org mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com http://use.perl.org http://apacheweek.com http://modperlbook.org http://apache.org http://ticketmaster.com
