MSW/MPH Tuition and Financial Aid
Tuition and financial aid are handled individually by each School. Students pay tuition and may receive financial assistance at the School in which they are "in residence." Generally, students spend four semesters in residence at SSW and two in residence at SPH. Regardless of residency, students may cross-register for courses at the other school. Part time students pay the rates at the respective schools.
An application for financial assistance is included in the School of Social Work's online application for admission. SSW applicants should indicate their intent to apply for the FAFSA (by March 1) and their interest in being considered for merit scholarships and/or work study. The priority deadline for applicants interested in being considered for merit scholarships at SSW is January 15. We cannot guarantee that merit scholarships will be available to applicants who apply after that date. However, federal financial aid will remain an option for those who apply by March 1. For more information about SSW admission deadlines, please visit the admission website.
It is essential for students to plan carefully and to be wise in borrowing to fund the program. Many students will enroll part time in the final years, working full time at Boston University, to receive tuition remission benefits. Other students locate graduate assistanceships that come with tuition benefits. Each step of the way, students should work carefully with the Program Director to minimize costs and to be aware of the options.

Urbana IL (SPX) Aug 13, 2014
While hiking through the Ozarks' characteristic oak and hickory forests as a teenager, ecologist Scott Woolbright discovered something decidedly uncharacteristic for the region: prickly pear cacti growing on an exposed, rocky ledge.
In a recent paper published in Trends in Ecology and Evolution, Woolbright describes how populations and communities like these, known as climate relicts, can help scientists understand how ecological communities are affected by climate change.
Rocky, well-drained slopes in the Ozarks often create habitat "islands" within the surrounding forest known as glade ecosystems, said Woolbright, who is a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute for Genomic Biology (IGB) in the Genomic Ecology of Global Change research theme.
In the Ozarks, glades often help to preserve isolated communities of cacti and other desert and prairie species that dominated the area during the Hypsithermal, a period of warming that occurred four to eight thousand years ago.
Ecologists have recently begun to discuss climate relicts as potential "natural laboratories" for studying the evolution of single plant species. Woolbright and co-authors suggest expanding such studies to include interactions between plants and other organisms that can drive community and ecosystem patterns.
It can be very difficult to replicate the long-term effects of climate change over very large geographic areas in the laboratory or field. But isolated climate relicts that are distributed across landscapes create "natural experiments" that help to overcome these problems of scale.
Using the genomic technologies he's learned at the IGB, Woolbright hopes to develop a research program that investigates climate-driven changes in species interactions at the gene level. While such a program would contribute to basic community and ecosystem research, it also has significant implications for ecological conservation and restoration.
"We're learning that you often can't just go out and preserve a single species," Woolbright said. "Interactions with other species can play very important roles in species survival. If we don't take those interactions into account, we can miss things that are really important."
Many climate relicts are threatened by small population size, ongoing environmental change in already stressful environments, invasions from species in adjacent non-relict communities, and human encroachment.
Woolbright said it will take the cooperation of many stakeholders to conserve relicts for their historical, ecological and aesthetic value.
Thomas Whitham, Catherine Gehring, and Gerard Allan from Northern Arizona University as well as Joseph Bailey from the University of Tennessee were co-authors in this study.
The IGB's fellows program supported Woolbright, who was inspired to pursue a career in climate change ecology by his encounter with Ozark glades.

Section III will receive all communications from parents and other unofficial parties provided they are sent through the school's Athletic Director or designee. These will be considered informational only, and will not oblige Section III or its Athletic Council to take any action with respect to the communication.
Solution for Parents and Students
School principals or athletic administrators have always been the first and most preferred contact resource for parents and students. This Section III policy reinforces school personnel as the source to which parents and students must direct their questions. As always, if a school administrator needs assistance in answering a question, they will contact the Section III office for a "final answer" and then pass it along to the parent or student.
Section III understands that parent and student questions are important. We thank you for your understanding and for supporting our commitment to high quality service directly to our member schools, and through schools, to parents and students. This approach will ultimately be best for everyone involved.
The Section III staff receives many calls, e-mails and letters each day. On occasion, callers request to remain anonymous and authors of correspondence choose to remain anonymous. This type of communication is difficult, at best, for your Section III staff to handle. These anonymous communications are seeking specific interpretations on Bylaws and matters of eligibility. In many instances, a complaint is being filed with no way to confirm any information with member schools. It is the policy of Section III for "Anonymous letters sent to the Section III shall be forwarded to the school administrator of the school in question by the Section III Executive Director, with no further action to be taken unless a violation is reported.
Anonymous callers shall be informed that the Section III staff has no authority to act upon anonymous calls.
Appeals - Section III is a membership organization and will only hear formal appeals from its member schools. All notice of appeals requires the member school's Athletic Director and Superintendent's signature before the appeal will be considered.

In search of the perfect dosa or South Indian pancake in NYC
Player utilities
This story is based on a radio interview. Listen to the full interview.
Skip to content
This story is based on a radio interview. Listen to the full interview.
Marco Werman: I'm Marco Werman. This is The World. Folks, fasten your seatbelts, because we're headed to New York City for a dosa hunt. Dosas are a South Indian snack sort of like a crepe or pancake. And the leader of our hunt is New Yorker Amrit Singh. He runs the indie music news site Stereogum. But lately he's turned to filmmaking to explore issues of identity for Indians in America. And what better way to do that than to embark on a quest for the perfect lentil-rice pancake?
[film clip]
Alan Palomo: Hey, how's it going? Pretty good, pretty good. Just in a van on a dosa hunt with a bunch of Indian dudes.
Speaker 2: Happens all the time.
[end film clip]
Werman: The quest involved Singh and a group of his musician friends riding around New York in a decked-out van complete with disco ball, all of it filmed to make a documentary called Dosa Hunt. I was five minutes into watching it and knew I was going to have to eat a dosa for lunch. Here's how Amrit Singh describes the film's culinary star.
Amrit Singh: Dosa is a crepe or pancake-like food made of a fermented rice and lentil batter. The lentil is a black dal called urad dal. It's generally served with a potato mixture that's spicy called aloo masala, and an assortment of condiments that are called chutneys and a vegetable stew called sambar. It's also often served with something called milagai podi, which is really nice for the spice nuts out there. It's roasted dry chiles, often some pepper and salt, and it's mixed into a mixture with sesame oil, generally. Sometimes ghee butter, but otherwise it's a vegan dish, it's gluten free. It makes it a great dish for these times where everyone's discovering all their food allergies and restrictions.
Werman: Right. It seems fairly orthodox because at one point Alan Palomo, the one Mexican guy in the group, talks about liking his dosa with cheese and everybody protests. Here's that scene.
[film clip]
Alan Palomo: You're not supposed to put cheese on it?
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 3: It's just untraditional.
Speaker 4: It's not traditional.
Alan Palomo: It's not traditional, but that doesn't mean it's not good.
[end film clip]
Werman: Okay, so no cheese. So is there kind of just a straight-on way that dosa is served?
Singh: Well,it's worth mentioning that Alan was along for the ride because he was a neophyte. He had never had a dosa before. He is Mexican, as you'd mentioned, and his band is called Neon Indian, so we made him an honorary Indian for the day. Cheese typically is not an authentic portion of the dosa experience and that kind of set off the entire dosa hunt. When Rostam Batmanglij, who plays in the band called Vampire Weekend, tweeted about a dosa that he had. He tweeted very simply, "eating a dosa." It came at a time when I was fetishizing the dish myself, I was on a dosa hunt. I'm North Indian and the food is South Indian, so I didn't grow up eating it. And I wrote back immediately. I asked which kind. He said, well, I'm having one that has arugula and jack cheese and it's from the Hampton Chutney Company. So now we have, and Rostam's Persian, so I'm like, we have a Persian-American who's having a fusion dosa with cheese in it at a place named after the Hamptons, and this is an issue. We need to go for dosa some time.
Werman: Right. Well, it makes sense. The tag line for the film, though, is "The greatest hunt for South Indian food in New York City ever committed to film." Isn't this the only hunt for South Indian food in New York City?
Singh: Exactly. It's so bold, it's such a bold claim, that it makes it much easier given the fact that it is the only one that's ever happened.
Werman: As for the sambar, the sauce, I want our listeners to hear at this point in the film where Anand Wilder from the band Yeasayer, actually calls his mom to ask about one vegetable that you eat with sambar.
[film clip]
Anand Wilder: Mom, you're on speaker phone.
Anand's mom: Hello?
Several voices: Hello.
Mom: If you are in India, like in my house, we never have sambar without drumsticks.
Anand: What's the actual vegetable called?
Mom: It's called drumstick.
[end of film clip]
Werman: Yeah, it's called drumstick, but it's not chicken, and I doubt, I don't know what it is, but I doubt it even tastes like chicken, so what the heck is a drumstick?
Singh: It's a really interesting vegetable. It's somewhat akin to okra, it's got somewhat of a husk. It's thrown into the sambar, it gives it a certain flavor, and it's really fun to eat. Yeah, and we found out it was called saragova in the grocery store. This moment of confusion, this sort of cultural confusion, was very much what the film was designed to do. I mean this dosa hunt came about very organically from that Twitter exchange that I mentioned, which attracted members from Das Racist, Neon Indian, Yeasayer, Vampire Weekend. I myself run a website called Stereogum, which has been chronicling the rise of these bands for the last seven years. And I didn't grow up with people that looked like me in bands that I liked listening to, and I've often thought as these bands have come up and as I've developed friendships with them, that now must be amazing to be a fifteen-year-old brown kid and see guys that are operating in the fields of hip hop and jazz and synth rock and all that stuff and doing it so successfully. So getting us together felt momentous. Documenting it seemed like a natural idea, but the idea also was that this quest for this authentic dish would elicit the sorts of conversations and issues of culture and identity in an organic way. The food really became the device. And so this conversation with Anand's mom wasn't scripted, it was very organic and natural to the day, but it was very much at the heart of what the film was trying to say.
Werman: You guys are all clearly obsessed with dosas, but as you say this is also really about identity. None of you have Indian accents, you're all kind of hybrids really. And you could have copped to, at the beginning of the film, that you only recently discovered dosa.
Singh: Yeah, so I grew up in a North Indian family, my family was all born in Punjab, and after partition had kind of moved to different parts of India, but that's where my family comes from and that's the food that I grew up eating. It was when I had a dosa in Manhattan one day, when I moved to Manhattan as a young adult, that sort of blew me away. It was a humbling and mind-expanding experience, this dosa was, because I realized that I had been purporting to be an expert on Indian food, but really I'd conflated Indian with North Indian as I think many people in the West have, because the sorts of waves of immigration that came over in the '60s when the visa rules had been sort of changed and allowed for immigration in a new way, were primarily coming from North India, with respect to the south Asian continent and people here just began to equate those. And now you're seeing a sort of zeitgeistical faddish approach to dosa which is really great and it's sort of expanding people's understandings of what Indian culture is. That story is seen in my personal relationship to the culture too. So having this dosa as a young adult was like, I need to get more dosa, I need to know more about the country that I'm from.
Werman: Amrit Singh is the filmmaker behind the short documentary Dosa Hunt. Amrit, let's have dosa together some time. I think that'd be fun.
Singh: Marco, I'd love to do that some time. Let's do it.
[film clip]
Speaker: Can I have a masala dosa, one masala dosa, and one sugar cane juice, please. For here, please, yeah.

My beautiful lab is really ill.(134 Posts)
He's not been himself for a couple of weeks; off his food and lethargic. I just put it down to the heat. He was drinking plenty and still seemed ok.
Today he emptied his bowels all over the dining room floor and I just knew. I called DH to come.home and take him to the vets. The vet said he is a very poorly dog. He thinks hepatitis or liver cancer. He's having a scan tomorrow. He said he's going to get very poorly over the next couple of weeks and actually couldn't believe how lively he was. My brave boy.
I feel so sad and scared.
Hi dogs and mom, hope you are both ok. We got a new puppy on Sunday. 8wk old black lab, forgotten what hard work puppies are! Hopefully he and my older lab will be great friends and fill the void Barni has left behind. The house still feels wrong without her here and my 2yr old DD talks about her and says 'where Barni?' Which is hard but makes me happy that Barni is not forgotten even though she's not here with us.
Hugs to both of you. Three weeks yesterday since my old boy went and I KNOW he had a good life with us but still feel randomly guilty over various things. It sucks.
Struggling too Amy. Don't feel bad. I feel bad about so many things but ultimately I've got to hold onto the fact that he had a great life with us. He was loved and he knew it. Try to hold on to the good memories. Be kind to yourself. It's truly horrible, but we will get there one day at a time. Pm me if you want to..
Thinking of you.
I've got one of my mums dogs to stay, a Labradoodle, and my Labrador seems so much brighter with her here. I feel so guilty that I didn't go to the vet now with Barni, I couldn't face it but now I feel selfish and I put myself above what was the right thing to do and I left her to die alone in an unfamiliar place with people she didn't know. I cried so much last night thinking about what I've done and apologising to her in my head. I wish I was stronger and I just took her myself and stayed with her. Hope you are coping better than me at the moment.
How are you feeling dogs?
Stupid phone *d
How are you now *d
Hope link just posted works ....
Thought it may be something that will complement the scrap book memory idea already mentioned on the thread x x x
Thanks momnipotent. You're right, there's nothing more we could have done. Off to hopefully get some sleep now. You take care.
*big hug! Don't want to be sending any bugs anywhere.
It is so terribly hard, and made harder because most people don't get it and can't understand because he was "just" a dog.
It didn't sound to me like you could have done more but I do understand that guilt, I also beat myself up over "could have done more" when there was literally nothing more I could have done. If there had been anything I know I would have mortgaged the house to do it, but there was nothing. From what you've said it sounds like there is nothing else you could have done either.
Have a good cry tonight and know that it will become more manageable in time. It won't mean you have forgotten him but that you have learned to live with the loss.
I am sending you a bug hug.
I'm struggling tonight. DH is away with work and it's the first time I've been home alone without Charlie here. He always made me feel safe.
This pain is awful. I forget momentarily and then I remember and hits like a lead weight in the pit of my stomach. I can't talk about him without crying. I can't get on with daily life even though I have to.
He's being forgotten too quickly by people who don't really get it.
I feel guilt that I could have done more.
I would give anything for one last cuddle right now.
Sorry for your loss too mom The verse you posted was so lovely, it makes me cry so much when I read it. I sent it to my mum too and she said the same. I keep thinking the same as you, that Sunday morning she was walking around the garden and then we went out for an hour came home and she had messed all over her bed and she couldn't stand up when I washed her. And I keep looking at the clock today thinking she was still here this time yesterday. Took my other dog to the park just now but he's so quiet today and the kids are so matter of fact about it and just say 'has Barni died now?' And that sets me off again. Hugs to you
I find I am obsessed with reliving the last few days of his life every week. Every Saturday morning I remember how I took him down to the lake the Saturday before he died. Every Sunday how he wanted to go to the dog park the Sunday before he died and he knew the way there so off we went. Every Monday I remember that the Monday of that week was the last good day he had with us. Every Tuesday I relive him lying on his mat and refusing all food and not able to get up. Every Tuesday night I remember that in spite of how weak he was he still managed to struggle in to sleep with me that night. Every Wednesday i relive the last trip to the vet.
It is harder for me now (three weeks on) than it was at the time. We had had the cancer diagnosis for a month when he died, in that month I had run myself ragged trying to do something for him. Surgery and chemo were not options so I changed his diet and made all his food from scratch, he got a separate walk from all the other dogs so that he could just go at whatever pace he chose, and I had all kinds of supplements to try and prolong the inevitable. I would be stressed everytime I left the house- if he was with me I would be worried a tumour would rupture while we were walking and there would be a crisis in the middle of nowhere and if he wasn't with me I would worry that something would happen while I was gone. The only time I could almost relax was when I was working in the office and he was there and I could see for myself that he was still with me. He went off his food the week before he died so then every mealtime became a struggle to try and get something into him.
After all that my initial feeling on that last day was mosty relief that I didn't need to worry about him anymore. I was very sad of course but I had also known it was coming so it wasn't unexpected and I had already cried a lot in that month. I find it is much harder now, the relief is gone and all that is left is sadness.
It hits you at weird times. I was like that for ages, but since we did the tree planting in the garden over Sally's ashes its lessened the hurt and grief.
Oh Amy, I know. It's just utterly shit. I'll hang around this thread so we can support each other.
Herbs? Sorry, I'm crying so much I can't write!
How are you today dogs? I hardly slept last night, I feel like a part of me has died now my dog has gone. I've had her since I was 17 and she was 7 when my first DD was born and had never been around babies or children much but she was so good with all of my children. I washed her collar earlier and I've hung it up so I can see it every time I go in the kitchen. Thinking of Charlie and you dogs
Struggling Amy, to be honest. Hope you can find some strength today.
Thanks too much. I miss that little nudge with his nose which meant cuddle me! They're such sensitive, beautiful animals. We feel blessed to have had him in our lives. He enriched us all and we are better people because of him. Our legacy to Charlie will be to live our lives to the full.
How are you today dogs? I hardly slept last night, I feel like a part of me has died now my dog has gone. I've had herbs
I am so sorry for you OP and all who have suffered losses. We took on an 8 year old black lab as our first family dog and I do know the day will come, but I hope we have made his last home a happy one. I am crying here reading about Charlie and hoping he is having fun i doggie heaven, and my boy knows I am upset and has come and stuck his nose under my arm to cuddle. They are wonderful creatures and I do hope OP that memories give you comfort and you give your love to a new dog in time.
I'm so sorry dogsagoodun. We lost our lab a couple of years ago when DS was 5 and he was very upset. There is a lovely book called 'Heaven' by Emma Chichester Clark which he seemed to relate to and he asked to have a special picture of AwesomeDog2 in his room. We scattered the ashes along one of our favourite walks so we can visit anytime we want. 2 years on we have another dog who he adores but he still remembers AwesomeDog2 fondly, actually he had written a lovely piece of school work a couple of weeks ago titled 'a good memory' which was about AD2.
So sorry to hear about Charlie We have always had dogs and it is so hard to lose them - it's a year this week since we lost our beloved Gscross, Smudge and I could still easily sit and cry. He was such an amazing boy- just like Timmy, Simba, Ben and Rex who went before him.
You can't hope to replace him but we have found that getting another actually helps to keep their memory alive. Walking our rescue collie cross, we will remember how she played with him etc. we got mollie to kerp him company but they had only a short time together before he died. I found it so hard that if we hadn't already saved mollie from the pound, I might not have been able to face getting another dog. She had been abused and was reallybnervous but she has now blossomed and is a great comfort. Last month, we took a terrified GS pup from a pound and she and mollie are already firm friends. Watching them play makes us laugh - which is good - and they enrich our lives. If possible, give a home to a stray - if you only want a pure bred then there are rescue societies online for most breeds. Losing a dog is hard but you know you gave them a good life and there are so many others out there needing a loving home.

An example in Brunei is Muara Spit and Kuala Tutong Spit. When the spit is connected the island to the mainland to form a feature is called the Tombolos. Spits & Tombolos The long shore drift transports materials along the coast. If there is a sudden change in the direction of the coast, the longshore drift continues to transport the materials in the original direction to the deep sea As the longshore drift enters the deep water, the materials are deposited. Over time, these materials accumulate above the water to form a spit. The spit continues to grow with the continuous deposition of materials.

In an attempt to mitigate the traffic impacts of Nestle's proposed water bottling plant in McCloud, a highly respected McCloud businessman crafted a railroad transportation plan, and thought he'd created a solution that worked for everyone.
When he took his idea to Nestle, he met a wall of indifference to point where several meetings were canceled at literally the last minute.
While it remains to be seen if Forbis' solution would have worked, the episode this angered locals who wanted to see the area's railroad heritage respected – and didn't want to see 300 trucks per day rolling in and out of town.
This excerpt from the Mount Shasta Herald describes Forbis' discussion of the issue at a McCloud Services District meeting:
Forbis [ed: the local businessman and owner of the McCloud Railroad] then went on to describe his negotiations with Nestle over the years about the train servicing the proposed bottling plant as being "coolly received" by the water bottling company. Though admitting that an outside assessment of his company's ability to ship Nestle's bottled water from McCloud came up with economic figures which "weren't what I had hoped for," he described to the board a history of failed negotiations with Nestle which included Nestle cancelling meetings with him at the last minute.
Nestle's Dave Palais responded by saying, "What Jeff said is correct. We did have missteps in getting Jeff to talk with our logistics people. We did have a couple meetings scheduled that got cancelled. It frustrated Jeff and it frustrated me. But you can't just come to a company without a detailed concept. I told Jeff that early on… [Nestle] has had bad experiences with rail… problems with rail delivery schedules."
Board member Al Schoenstein told Palais, "It appears that a serious effort wasn't made to talk to Jeff… You probably could have worked with him more seriously, it would have been a 'good neighbor' policy to work with Jeff… He did go to meetings where nobody was there to meet him."
One audience member told Forbis, "You've gone out of your way with Nestle, they've been dangling a carrot before us to get a contract. It's a game."
Now that Nestle's original plans for a million-square-foot water bottling plant have been scrapped, the world's largest food and beverage company wants to enter into new negotiations with McCloud, yet several missteps have led to a growing chorus of locals calling for local economic development – businesses more accountable to the community.
Many want to revisit the municipally owned water bottling plant idea that was rejected by the same McCloud Services District Council who negotiated the original (and wholly lopsided) Nestle contract.
Others point to the recent community meetings featuring the Willits Chamber of Commerce and rural economist Michael Shuman as possible paths.
It's clear that Nestle's latest PR efforts revolve heavily around a "good corporate neighbor" message. In fact, their just-released Corporate Citizenship Report features the title "The Shape of Citizenship" and a subhead of "Creating Shared Value."
Sadly, where it counts, Nestle's "good neighbor" policy falls far short of the hype – especially when it comes to respecting the local values and culture of a rural community.

SoundCloud was going for a "dirty vibe" when it conceived of a loft studio with music partners far away from the maddening crowds at South by Southwest Interactive.
It chose a pub several blocks from the massive Austin Convention Center, which it shared with 19 business partners, to escape the noise.
"We wanted to replicate the feel of our first SoundCloud building (an old post office in Berlin)," says Caroline Drucker, partnership marketing manager at SoundCloud.
"We're a really scrappy company from Europe (based in Berlin)," she says. "For us, SXSW is not about parties, fame and guest lists, but networking with partners and creating a strong ecosystem. Sort of the power of many."
Folks like webdoc, a web platform for consumers to express themselves with rich media. The app lets you drag and drop content such as video, music and photos into a web document to share special moments, favorite recipes and other stories.
"You can share a holiday experience, with video of the kids, and music and photos," says Olivier de Simone, head of music at webdoc, based in Lausanne, Switzerland. "This pulls great media together."
Storify CEO Xavier Damman, who describes his popular startup, as "the typewriter for social media," says Storify pulls sound from SoundCloud to help anyone tell a story from anywhere during breaking news. His co-founder is journalist Burt Herman.
"He's the hack, and I'm the hacker," Damman says. "Humanity has access to half a billion reporters (with services like ours)."
And the mainstream media likes it, too. Storify is vital technology behind the Aljazeera show, The Stream, and the Washington Post covered a recent tornado using Storify.
SoundCloud's Open House -- it comes with a bar and stage -- also was temporary home to Hindenburg Systems, audio-editing software, and Blue Mic, a maker of USB and pro-level microphones.

By Jarrett Bell, USA TODAY
ATLANTA This time of year, it is not about winning pretty.
Matt Ryan undoubtedly knew that all along, but the concept came to life Sunday at the Georgia Dome as the Atlanta Falcons rookie quarterback stitched together a game-winning drive in overtime against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, helping notch a 13-10 victory that keeps the NFC South race too close to call.
THE HUDDLE: Falcons' coach in mix-up with Bucs WR
BESTS & WORSTS: Sunday's highs and lows
KIFFIN TO LEAVE BUCS: Will join his son at Tennessee
Sometimes, improvisation works.
BOX SCORE: Falcons 13, Buccaneers 10 (OT)
On a second-and-8 from the Buccaneers 43, Ryan scrambled up the middle after a passing play broke down — only to have defensive lineman Kevin Carter poke the ball loose as Ryan fell to the turf. Atlanta's Justin Blalock recovered, but Ryan had to think fast to salvage another busted play on third-and-3.
Off a shotgun snap, he faked a toss to tailback Michael Turner then found himself staring at a crack in the middle of the defense and no runner to hand off to. So Ryan put his head down and barreled ahead for the first down.
"Mike's first thought on third-and-3 is not to have me running the football," Ryan said, referring to first-year coach Mike Smith. "But that's just the way it worked out. We had to make a play."
Ryan didn't pass for a touchdown, threw two interceptions, fumbled twice (the Falcons recovered both) and was thrown for a series of loops by the Bucs' fast, sophisticated defense.
But he won. And Ryan had the right kind of help, with a defense fortified by John Abraham's three sacks and a running game powered by Turner's season-high 32 carries for 152 yards and his franchise-record 15th rushing touchdown of the season.
After Ryan's back-to-back dashes, Turner took over for four consecutive run plays, ripping off 17- and 9-yard chunks to set up Jason Elam's game-winning 34-yard field goal with 4:08 remaining in the extra period.
"Winning a game like this is all part of the process," said Smith, whose 9-5 squad is even with Tampa Bay but two games behind the first-place Carolina Panthers in the division.
The Falcons won despite the blown protection that led to the block of Michael Koenen's punt with just 2:29 left in the fourth quarter. That set up a 38-yard field goal by the Bucs' Matt Bryant, forcing overtime. Atlanta won despite three turnovers, including a goal line fumble by tight end Jason Rader.
"They didn't have their best stuff," said Falcons owner Arthur Blank. "I said to coach, 'This is a little like when you watch Tiger Woods and he doesn't have his A game but figures out a way to win.' At the end of the day, it's a W. The good teams figure out how to win with their B games."
Turner was the last man to leave the Falcons' locker room, still wearing his uniform pants after all of his teammates had departed. It was fitting. He carried a big load all afternoon.
Of his 32 carries, 21 were for 3 yards or fewer. But Atlanta kept pounding, and Turner obliged with runs of 18, 15, 22 and 17 yards against a worn-down Tampa Bay defense that allowed a franchise-record 299 rushing yards last Monday night at Carolina.
"You've got to stay patient with the running game," Turner said. "You know one's going to pop. You just never know which one it is."
But the Atlanta defense did more than just limit Tampa Bay to 10 points.
Abraham kept coming at Tampa Bay from all directions, including a possession-ending sack in overtime that caused Bucs tackle Jeremy Trueblood to throw up his hands in frustration.
On Abraham's first sack, he shoved a Tampa Bay lineman into Brian Griese. On the second, he crawled under tackle Donald Penn to get at the fill-in quarterback.
"This will be a fun game to sit down and watch on film," said Abraham, who had his third three-sack game of the season, giving him 15.5 overall.
The Bucs have back-to-back losses for the first time this season and missed a chance to possibly clinch their playoff berth. They were hampered by 11 penalties for 76 yards.
"I'm not going to take any credit away from Atlanta, but I don't feel like they were the better team," said Tampa Bay receiver Antonio Bryant, who had eight catches for 108 yards and got into a brief confrontation with Smith on the Falcons' sideline.
The Falcons pulled even with Tampa Bay in the NFC South behind first-place Carolina, ensuring their first winning season since 2004.
Turner had his seventh 100-yard rushing game of the season against a Tampa Bay defense that was looking for redemption after giving up 299 yards on the ground in a loss to Carolina. The Bucs surrendered 175 yard to the Falcons, most of them piled up by their bull of a running back.
Turner had a 1-yard touchdown early on that gave Atlanta a 10-0 lead. He was running just as hard at the end.
"As the game wore on, he got stronger and stronger," Smith said.
The rookie coach laughed off his staredown with Bryant, who had given cornerback Domonique Foxworth a shove in front of the Atlanta bench.
"Antonio was on our sideline and I politely asked him to go back over to his sideline," Smith quipped.
The Bucs had to go without starting quarterback Jeff Garcia, sidelined by a calf injury. Griese completed 26 of 37 for 269 yards, hooking up with Bryant on a 20-yard touchdown with 11 seconds left in the first half.
But Griese also threw an interception and was sacked four times in all. The Bucs converted just 3-of-14 chances on third down.
"We shot ourselves in the foot on offense," he said.
The Falcons jumped ahead 10-0 in the first quarter, but two turnovers deep in Tampa Bay territory kept the Bucs in the game. Ryan got greedy and went for the touchdown on second-and-8 from the Tampa Bay 34. The pass was underthrown and Aqib Talib picked it off at the 1.
In the third quarter, Ryan found Rader alone down the right sideline, and the backup tight end hauled in the pass and headed for a touchdown. Bucs safety Jermaine Phillips stripped the ball from behind just as Rader was going in, and Phillip Buchanan scooped it up in the end zone.
The officials initially ruled TD, but referee Terry McAulay overturned the call after Tampa Bay challenged, even though replays from several angles looked inconclusive.
Notes: NFC South teams are now 11-0 at home in division games. ... Turner broke Jamal Anderson's franchise record with his 15th rushing touchdown of the season. ... Former Falcons RB Warrick Dunn rushed for 40 yards and caught seven passes for 50 yards in his return to the Georgia Dome. ... Elam had the 17th game-winning kick of his career in the final 2 minutes of regulation or overtime.

Suppression of evidence is a term used in the United States legal system to describe the lawful or unlawful act of preventing evidence from being shown in a trial. This could happen for several reasons. For example, if a judge believes that the evidence in question was obtained illegally, he can rule that it not be shown in court. It could also refer to a prosecutor improperly or intentionally hiding evidence that he or she is legally obligated to show the defense. In the latter case, this would be a violation of the 5th amendment to the United States Constitution. This can result in a mistrial in the latter case and/or the dismissal of the prosecutor.
Martin Wells was found guilty of suppression of evidence in the case against Hector Ocampo and was subsequently sent to prison. (TXF: "Redrum")

Series: Religions of the World and Ecology
Edited By: Mary Evelyn Tucker and Duncan Ryuken Williams
467 pages, 1 fig
Given the challenges of the environmental crisis, Buddhism's teaching of the interrelatedness of all life forms may be critical to the recovery of human reprocity with nature. In this work, 20 religionists and environmentalists examine Buddhism's understanding of the intricate web of life. In noting the cultural diversity of Buddhism, they highlight aspects of the tradition which may help formulate effective environmental ethics, citing examples from both Asia and the United States of socially engaged Buddhist projects to protect the environment. The authors explore theoretical and methodological issues and analyze the prospects and problems of using Buddhism as an environmental resource in both theory and practice. This volume inaugurates a larger series examining the religions of the world and their ecological implications which is designed to shape a field of study involving religious issues, contemporary environmental ethics, and public policy concerns.

U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission's Appropriations for Fiscal Year 2000
Submitted to
the Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, State, the Judiciary & Related Agencies of the Senate Committee on Appropriations
U.S. Senate
Statement of the
Investment Company Institute
March 25, 1999
The Investment Company Institute1 appreciates this opportunity to submit testimony to the Subcommittee in support of the FY 2000 appropriations request for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The Institute would like to commend the Subcommittee for its prior efforts to assure adequate resources for the SEC.
Mutual funds are very important to middle-class Americans seeking to save and invest. Today, more than 77 million investors, in over 44 million U.S. households, own mutual fund shares. These millions of average Americans receive and deserve vigilant regulatory oversight of mutual funds. Given the importance of mutual funds to millions of investors, sufficient funding of the SEC is a priority. The Institute urges Congress to provide appropriations at a level sufficient to ensure that the SEC may fulfill its regulatory mandate.
The Administration's FY 2000 budget proposes SEC funding at a level of $363 million. The Institute supports this level of funding to sustain the SEC's operations, especially those of the Division of Investment Management, which regulates the mutual fund industry.
Adequate financial resources are essential for the SEC to continue its effective regulatory oversight of the securities markets and to carry out important investor protection and awareness initiatives. The workload of the Division of Investment Management has increased significantly due to the implementation of the SEC initiatives to improve mutual fund disclosure enacted last year: the mandatory use of plain English in mutual fund prospectuses; revised, simplified disclosure in mutual fund prospectuses; and fund "profiles," which provide essential information about a particular fund in a concise, less technical manner. These important initiatives will benefit millions of American investors.
Sufficient financial resources are also needed for special projects involving investor protection, such as the Director's Roundtable and the Year 2000 conversion project. The Director's Roundtable, held in February, explored the critical watchdog role that independent fund directors play in protecting the interests of fund shareholders. The SEC is presently working toward recommendations to strengthen the current system of fund governance based on information and insight gained from the Roundtable, and expects to promulgate rules to otherwise strengthen the role of independent directors.
The SEC has been actively engaged in the very important work of monitoring the securities industry's progress with Year 2000 compliance and has intensified its efforts in this area during the past year. The Division of Investment Management has formed an independent task force to assess the current status of Year 2000 disclosure and propose steps that the SEC should take to remedy the deficiencies. The SEC is gathering quantitative information from a large number of registrants and conducting examinations of firms that are showing unsatisfactory progress in addressing the problem. The SEC plans to continue its unprecedented efforts to increase the frequency and quality of Year 2000 disclosure made by public and investment companies to maintain investor confidence at the end of 1999.
Finally, adequate funding is essential for routine inspections of investment advisers and fund companies, and for the SEC's ongoing efforts to educate the nation's investors. The SEC has instituted several outreach programs, such as the nationwide "Facts on Savings and Investing Campaign" aimed at increasing the financial literacy of American investors. These types of programs help investors and small businesses to understand capital markets and establish realistic expectations about market performance. This is an integral part of the agency's mission to protect investors.
In order to accomplish these worthy objectives and to continue to function as an effective regulatory agency, we support SEC funding for FY2000 at the level requested by Chairman Levitt.
We appreciate your consideration of our views.
1The Investment Company Institute is the national association of the American investment company industry. Its membership includes 7,446 open-end investment companies ("mutual funds"), 456 closed-end investment companies, and 8 sponsors of unit investment trusts. Its mutual fund members have assets of about $5.662 trillion, accounting for approximately 95% of total industry assets, and have over 73 individual shareholders.

Last month it was revealed that Dropbox experienced a 2012 data breach that compromised 68 million users' email address and Dropbox passwords.
1,656 NJIT email accounts were listed in a large set of compromised credentials found online associated with the Dropbox breache. Although these breaches did not involve NJIT systems, we have notified the users on that list because many individuals use the same password across multiple accounts.
Users that have changed their NJIT password at some point after the breach are at a lesser risk. It is always a good idea to check all of your accounts (NJIT and Dropbox) for unusual or suspect activity and change your passwords regularly. NJIT passwords can be changed at http://mypassword.njit.edu.
