Felix Pie has been added to the roster, batting leadoff tonight. (Photo Credit: David Hague) The Pittsburgh Pirates have called up Felix Pie and have added him to tonight's lineup, batting leadoff and playing left-field. Ryan Reid is expected to be optioned to make room for Pie on the 25-man roster. No word on the 40-man roster move, which needs to be made since Pie isn't currently on the 40-man. More to come as information becomes available. UPDATE 3:50 PM: Pie doesn't have the best numbers with Indianapolis this year. He's hitting for a .250/.325/.390 line in 354 at-bats. He does have 38 stolen bases in 47 attempts, and is on a hot streak recently with a .344/.364/.469 line in 32 at-bats over his last ten games. He's replacing Starling Marte in the lineup. Alex Presley and Andrew Lambo aren't eligible to be recalled yet, since they were both optioned within ten days. That indicates that Marte won't go on the DL, otherwise either one could be recalled.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, Financial Statements and Exhibits
On May 28, 2014, Marathon Oil Corporation ("Marathon Oil") entered into an
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement by and among Marathon Oil, as borrower,
The Royal Bank of Scotland plc, as syndication agent, Citibank, N.A., Morgan
Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. and The Bank of Nova Scotia, as documentation
agents, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and certain other
financial institutions named therein (the "Credit Agreement"), which provides
for a $2.5 billion unsecured five-year revolving credit facility.
The Credit Agreement amends and restates Marathon Oil's Credit Agreement dated as of April 5, 2012, in its entirety, and (i) provides for initial commitments in the aggregate amount of $2.5 billion, with an option to increase the aggregate amount of commitments by up to an additional $1.0 billion, subject to certain customary conditions, including obtaining the consent of any increasing lenders, (ii) is scheduled to mature on May 28, 2019, unless that date is extended under provisions in the Credit Agreement that allow Marathon Oil to request one-year extensions of the maturity date on up to two occasions, (iii) provides for commitment fees that accrue on the unused commitment of each lender at a rate ranging from 8 basis points to 22.5 basis points per year depending on Marathon Oil's credit ratings, (iv) includes sub-facilities for swing-line loans and letters of credit up to an aggregate amount of $100 million and $500 million, respectively, and (iv) provides that borrowings bear interest, at Marathon Oil's option, at either (a) the Adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus a margin ranging from 87.5 basis points to 150.0 basis points per year, depending on Marathon Oil's credit ratings, or (b) the Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus a margin ranging from 0.0 basis points to 50.0 basis points, depending on Marathon Oil's credit ratings.
The Credit Agreement contains representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default that Marathon Oil considers customary for an agreement of that type, including a covenant that requires Marathon Oil's ratio of total debt to total capitalization (expressed as a percentage) not to exceed 65% as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. If an event of default exists, the lenders holding more than 50% of the commitments may terminate all of the commitments under the Credit Agreement and require the immediate repayment of all outstanding borrowings and the cash collateralization of all outstanding letters of credit under the Credit Agreement.
Certain lenders that are a party to the Credit Agreement have in the past performed, and may in the future from time to time perform, investment banking, financial advisory, lending or commercial banking services for Marathon Oil and its subsidiaries, for which they have received, and may in the future receive, customary compensation and reimbursement of expenses.
The above description of the material terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Credit Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 hereto.

What is rosacea?
Rosacea is a common skin condition that usually only affects the face and eyes. Characterized by redness, pimples, and broken blood vessels, rosacea tends to begin after middle age (between the ages of 30 and 60) and is more common in fair-skinned people.
The cause of rosacea is unknown. An estimated 14 million people in the US have rosacea.
What are the symptoms of rosacea?
Rosacea often begins with easy blushing and flushing of the facial skin. Eventually, redness will persist around the nose area, extending to the rest of the face. Rosacea has a variety of clinical symptoms and is classified into the following four types, based on these different symptoms:
In addition, approximately 50 percent of those affected by rosacea will have eye involvement. Eye symptoms may include:
The symptoms of rosacea may resemble other dermatologic conditions, such as acne. Always consult your physician for a diagnosis.
How is rosacea diagnosed?
Rosacea is usually diagnosed with a complete medical history and physical examination.
Treatment for rosacea:
Specific treatment for rosacea will be determined by your physician based on:
The goal of treatment is to control the symptoms associated with rosacea. Treatment may include:

Faculty Profiles
Phillip S. Lobel
Professor of Biology
PhD, Harvard University, 1979
Areas of interest: ichthyology; behavioral ecology and taxonomy of fishes
(617) 358-4586
Current Research
I am interested in fundamental concepts of fish biology and in applying this knowledge to scientific issues and to societal concerns of fisheries management and conservation. My scientific work has focused on field studies of fish behavior and ecology. I have worked in a variety of habitats worldwide where fishes are a significant component of the fauna. In recent years, I have applied my scientific expertise to contemporary problems in conservation biology and environmental protection. From 1983 to 2003, my main study site was Johnston Atoll, Central Pacific Ocean conducting research as part of the US Army marine ecological monitoring program evaluating operation of the Johnston Atoll Chemical Weapons Disposal System. Since 2003, I have been working primarily in Belize, Central America on fish bioacoustics and discovery of new species.
My research has concentrated on five topics::
Reproductive behavior and timing relative to physical oceanographic variables
Predator-prey relationships with emphasis on herbivores and their role in coral reef ecology, including the phenomenon of ciguatera
Species identification and biogeography including descriptions of new species of fishes from coral reefs and an African freshwater lake
Environmental impact of natural catastrophes and man-made habitat alterations
Fish bioacoustics
My current research focus is on fish bioacoustics. Past research has generally concentrated on the identification of sound-producing fishes. Although many fishes produce distinct sounds while courting or calling mates, the prior lack of technology for data acquisition and signal analysis has stifled research. I developed new methods and equipment for recording fishes in the wild. The goals have been to develop instrumentation, deployment strategy and analytical procedures for A) locating spawning populations, and B) quantifying the temporal-spatial patterns of fish reproduction. The temporal patterns of fish reproduction at known sites can be recorded using hydrophones and radio-telemetry to shore or with underwater recorders. Spatial coverage is possible using multiple systems. The success and general applicability of a method for passive acoustic detection of fish reproduction ultimately depends on identifying species with specific mating sounds. The interesting biological question is, do different fishes make different sounds and can the fish distinguish these different sounds?

In line with the 18th edition of the THISDAY Annual Awards to honour teachers, who have distinguished themselves at the primary, secondary and tertiary levels, the THISDAY Board of Editors Sunday released the process for the nomination of teachers who shall be honoured at the awards ceremony on a date to be announced soon.
In a statement released by the board, members of the public and readers are invited to send the names of outstanding and deserving teachers by visiting www.thisdayawards.com/nomination and stating why the teacher deserves to be honoured.
The statement added: "Following the collation of nominees, each of them will be screened by a selection committee of THISDAY editors and eminent Nigeria, which shall be published.
"After the publication, a THISDAY Reader Panel of registered readers will then vote on winners who will be honoured in an awards ceremony to be attended by world leaders and distinguished Nigerians on the sidelines of a summit on transforming education in Nigeria."
The Board of Editors called on readers interested in joining the Reader Panel, which will select winners for the Best Teachers Awards to visit and register at www.thisdayawards.com/readerpanel
The board said all THISDAY readers are welcome to submit their nominees and join the Reader Panel, adding that nominations for the submission of entries will open at noon today and close at midnight on January 31, 2013.
The decision to honour teachers, who have excelled across Nigeria, was informed by the critical role that they play in human capital development and the socio-cultural and economic advancement of the country.
"We need teachers to rebuild education, our communities and our nation. We must therefore celebrate and honour them," the board said.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Jonathan Bernier Out Three Weeks With MCL Strain
by Paul on 04/04/14 at 12:38 PM ET
Comments (3)
from TSN,
An MRI on Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Jonathan Bernier has revealed an MCL strain and the goalie is expected to be out of action for three weeks.
Head coach Randy Carlyle delivered the news after practice on Friday.
Bernier was hurt during Toronto's 4-3 overtime victory over the Boston Bruins on Thursday night. He left the game midway through the third period after teammate Paul Ranger pushed Bruins forward Patrice Bergeron on top of him.
If you missed the play, you can watch it here...

It seems as if one of my honey bee colonies starved to death sometime over the past two months. At a glance it may look like a normal colony. But trust me, those bees are dead.
I didn't have time for a close inspection, so I can't confirm that starvation is the cause of death, but I'd say it's a pretty good guess. I didn't top up any of our hives with sugar syrup before winter. I let the bees take honey from their own honey supers instead. Unfortunately, these bees didn't get enough. And so it goes.
I'm okay with this loss because it's part of the learning process. I'm working without a net here, without any mentors, and I finally decided to try what made the most sense for me: give the bees their own honey, not sugar syrup. Internet chatter, bee books and know-it-all advice (which I was a part of) can only go so far. I had to find out for myself what really works. Six out of seven colonies that were given their own honey survived. One died. That's not too bad. I don't know for sure yet if the colony died from starvation. I'll know more in a couple weeks when I can take the dead colony home and give it a close inspection. Stay tuned…
P.S. (March 24/13): See the post mortem photos for more details.
10 Responses to "A Winter Die-off"SKIP TO THE END
I was expecting it. If it was my first year, I'd be bummed out. But I'm okay with it.
I now have 20 frames of drawn comb, which will come in very handy.
Sorry to hear man. I take a peak into mine during the night with a head lamp looking in through the inner cover hole. All my bees are on top (except 3) so I need to add some candy boards just to be on the safe side. It's only another two months and the alder pollen will be starting to flow.
Also I have one colony that stinks. I accidentally blocked off the top entrance the fall and forgot to remove it for 3 weeks after I moved it. There were all kinds of dead drones there trying to get out. I can be 20 feet away and it smells like a dead carcase, yuk. The numbers look good but I think I will need a little honey bee healthy when I add the next candy board.
Keep an eye on the other ones.
Hey Jeff,
No big loss. Six colonies are as good as seven for me, and now I have 20 frames of drawn comb to work with. It balances out.
The bees in most of the hives were clustering well below the top bars and still seemed to have plenty of honey stores. I gave them all a ton sugar anyway, just to be safe. It's possible the dead colony froze somehow, though I would have expected the hive with the open screened bottom board to be the cold hive.
Another colony, the one I call Old Grumpy, had its top cover blown off (or vandalized) at some point. The insulated inner cover was still on and covered with about six inches of snow, ice and snow running down the sides into the hive. But the bees didn't seem to mind.
I may have to find a new location for the bees in the spring, some place where I or someone else can keep a closer eye of them.
I wouldn't assume they died because their own honey wasn't enough for them. Maybe you harvested too much of their honey, and they were weakened earlier in the year. Lack of nutrition in the fall when they are making winter bees can create big problems.
It could also be from a pollen dearth, or nosema or mite-vectored viruses might have weakened them. Or perhaps they were just a weak strain that couldn't hack it.
So many possibilities….
You don't have mites in Newfoundland?? I thought they had spread across the globe. Wow. I'm so happy for you. No wonder you've only lost two hives in three years. Lucky dog.
I lost one to starvation too Phil. They were well down so I assumed they had good reserves but when I checked on them I pulled some frames and you cans see they had starved. What a shame on my part. I read them wrong.
Yeah, I realize now that the bees don't have to be above the top bars to be short of honey.
Agreed. A closer inspection on my part would have went a long way. This was a good size starter colony from last year.

Joanne Scheibman, Ph.D., Associate Professor of English and Applied Linguistics. Joanne Scheibman's research focuses on ways in which meaning and participant interaction contribute to grammatical and lexical patterning in English conversations. Her book, Point of view and grammar, proposes that speakers' attitudes, evaluations, and metalinguistic commentaries (subjectifying elements) have a robust influence on the distribution of utterances found in English conversations. Scheibman's background in the analysis of conversational discourse, functional and typological approaches to grammar and meaning, and social and cultural aspects of language use allow her to teach a wide range of courses for the MA in Applied Linguistics, including General Linguistics, Syntax, Semantics, Discourse Analysis, Discourse & Rhetoric Across Cultures, and History of the English Language.

go visit his restaurant down at Willunga in the southern vales wine growing district of Adelaide, do one of his many courses and meet not only him, but also his son who works there as well.
A real experience.
I can thoroughly recommend the meal and the experience.
Re: russell jeavons on abc1
What's that about? I missed it - but perhaps it's on iABC (canned for internet consumption)...
Is that the program with the twerpy little guy who's in constant raptures about his concoctions? And the superbly silly old biddy? Backslapping each other in tandem? - and then they invite you to waste money on calling up their recipes on a mobile or something...
Sorry, I'm more of a Jean Hatfield fan... (can't admit my predilection for a certain Nigella :-)
Ciao a tutti,

leave no trace
When set with the idea of influencing my idea of architecture while impacting my environment, I immediately return to experiences in nature, though aware that many other surroundings and conditions are apart of my envrionment. While I am very familiar with my surroundings here in Minnesota, I would almost certainly travel as widely as possible in order to supplement or even develop ideas of my environment and the world.
In considering places I would like to visit, I viewed remarkable photos of structures and other buildings that were very impressive. However, the idea of environment continually reappeared in my mind and the feelings invoked by other, natural areas created effects that, I believe, are uncomparable. The following photos are natural wonders of the world; places which leave an immense impact on one's idea of almost everything.
Above: Mount Everest, view from Nepali approach
Above: The Great Barrier Reef in Australia
Above: The Grand Canyon in Arizona, USA
Above: Victoria Falls from the Zambia side
Above: The Harbor of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil
Above: The Paricutin Volcano in Mexico
Above: The Northern Lights
Above: The Galapagos Islands
Above: Crater Lake in Oregon, USA
When exploring the preceding places, giving each due time, and absorbing their overwhelming brilliance, it becomes clear that the emotion invoked by these places are, indeed, the same breathtaking outcomes designers only hope to capture in their buildings. If set free from the "constraints" of the architecture school program, this is where I would hope to begin.
After viewing some of the most beautiful places on the face of the Earth, one will almost certainly become aware of much of the same spledor in the environment surrounding them. Now, the question becomes, how will I impact the environment around me? This answer, I believe correlates somewhat with my United Nations Millenium Goal of ensuring environmental sustainability.
Personally, the idea of impact on the environment evokes memories of a trip I took in Cimmaron, New Mexico. I was a part of a group of about ten members backpacking through the wilderness for two weeks. On the trail surrounded by hills, mountaintops, trees, and open fields, we adopted a way of dealing with the environment. This idea is one I would adopt in impacting my environment. Essentially, it can be summed up as "leave no trace."
Above: photo of a mountain meadow at Philmont Scout Ranch in Cimmaron, New Mexico.
Above: photo of a peak named "The Tooth of Time" at Philmont Scout Ranch in Cimmaron, New Mexico.
Leave No Trace consisted of many, many practices on the trail which would greatly minimize the impact on the surrounding environment, an objective especially important when visiting natural wonders seen above.
Our first practice was planning ahead. Months in advance, we conducted practice hikes, created an itinerary, and checked equipment to make sure we were ready. Most other ideas were witnessed on the trail. Traveling in a single file line on already worn paths concentrated the impact we had in certain areas. Where no path had yet been worn, we separated in a horizontal line, spreading out the potential impact over a larger area. We were careful not to disturb and rocks, plants, or other objects, but rather leave them as we found them, only observing. We carried days of food and packed out our trash. Daily inspections of our changing campsites were thorough. Additionally, we only camped in existing campsites along the trail, making sure not to expand human impact. While on the trail, we also spent a day improving existing paths so multiple trails were not created. A group member and I dug out a large rock - previously serving as an obstacle for hikers - and flattened a trail in its place so groups would not be interupted in an attempt to find a legimate route. Each of these things contributed to the idea of "leave no trace," or rather, as little as possible.
The idea of "leave no trace" is easily applicable in a natural environment. However, it seems this idea should become a constraint of architecture. Obviously, creating a building for example would have an impact on its surroundings, but the idea that one can minimize their impact as much as possible is a remarkable starting point.

In the tradition of André Gide and Jean Genet, Michel Tournier aims to subvert conventional notions of gender and of acceptable sexual behaviour, in order to return us to a lost paradise of polymorphous perversity. The fourteen stories in Le Coq de Bruyère recreate the Platonic myth of the androgyne in order to call into question the normative social values of heterosexuality, marriage, and procreation.The gentle giant Logre (a pun on L'Ogre, the ogre) in "La Fugue du petit Poucet", a generative figure, is hermaphroditic, like both Jehovah and Adam at the beginning of "La Famille Adam". As a writer, however, Tournier adopts a tight formal logic of theme and variations inspired by …

Castor says she needs to know more before calling for Wikileaks abuse probe
Kate Bradshaw
WMNF Drive-Time News Wednesday | Listen to this entire show:
A key UN human rights official is calling for an investigation into detainee abuse allegations contained among the pages online whistleblower Wikileaks published Friday. But such a task may be on the backburner for US lawmakers.
It would be up to the US Congress to launch an investigation into alleged detainee abuses in Iraq that, prior to Fridayâs Wikileaks report, had apparently been under the radar for many. But the local economy has been at the forefront for many, as have next weekâs elections. Today WMNF asked US Member of Congress Kathy Castor if she would call for an investigation into the US role in the latest alleged abuses.
"I've been very concerned about the national security and the depth and breadth of the Wikileaks and Central Command right here at MacDill Air Force Base is conducting a review. And I haven't gotten deeply enough into all of the details to say one way or the other right now."
United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Navi Pillay, says the US and Iraq should prosecute anyone suspected of conducting torture, civilian deaths, and other crimes.comments powered by Disqus
CommentsWhere's Julian???
Congresswoman Castor⦠High Commissioner Pillay (nice title)⦠there you go looking to the âleftâ again when you should be looking to the ârightâ. I wouldnât worry about investigating the US Military if I were you. If Rep. King gets his way⦠Julian Assange and the members of Wikileaks are about to be designated as terrorists and a terrorist organization⦠and if that happens⦠because weâre in a âDeclared Warâ against terrorism⦠doesnât that mean we could bomb the hell out of where ever we think he is or they are??? Look out CNN London!!!
The price is right...
DUDE⦠locally, a radio talk show host has put a $50,000 âbountyâ on Julian Assangeâ head!!! America⦠watta country!!!

How to block friends on facebook without unfriending them
Sometimes, you just wish to show certain updates, posts or pictures to certain friends but not your other friends. Sometimes, you kind of hate a person who added you and you want to wipe him or her out from your facebook but yet you do not want to let the prson know by unfriending him or her. Sometimes, you want to have private sharing that shoud be kept from someone, like your big boss or your mum, but you cannot simply remove the person after he or she has added you. If any of this fit your pattern, what you need is blocking features provided by facebook.
How to block friends on facebook without unfriending them – privacy settings
First, click on the 'Privacy Setting' option in the dropdown which appears after pressing the setting icon on the top right corner of facebook website. From the left menu, choose 'Blocking' and you will reach 'Managing Blocking' page. You can create your list of friends you want to block on restricted list and they will be treaded like 'Public' and sees only your public sharing even though they are your friends. They will not get notification that you have blocked them. Or you can block single person by keying in the name or email. You can also hinder spammy apps or event invitations. The 5 catagories of managing blocking are:
- Restricted list
- Block users
- Block app invites
- Block event invites
- Block apps
How to block friends on facebook without unfriending them – facebook profile
If you do not prefer a global setting applied using 'Managing Block', you can micro-manage who to block by going to the person you want to block individually. Click on the setting icon to the right of the cover photo and pick 'Report/block' option. After doing this you have 4 choices:
- Hide [someone] from news feed
- Unfriend [someone]
- Block [someone]
- Submit a report (about abuse on facebook)

There are any number of good reasons why college students shouldn't spend much time watching screenings of pornographic movies on school property or reading racy sex columns in the school newspaper. But it's not the job of college administrators or state lawmakers to make those decisions for them.
There may indeed be little journalistic value in "The Bed Post," a sex column that appeared in The Towerlight, Towson University's student newspaper. Aside from its questionable taste, it violated many of the standards student publications traditionally are supposed to teach aspiring young reporters and editors, such as the necessity of judging what is worthy of coverage as news and a willingness to stand behind the facts in a story. Unlike the paper's other articles, "The Bed Post" was published under a pseudonym, and many members of the paper's own editorial board had misgivings about the explicit nature of its content.

The Emirates NBD head office building, Dubai's largest bank, is seen on Baniyas Road in Deira November 19, 2012. REUTERS/Jumana El Heloueh
DUBAI: The United Arab Emirates central bank has confirmed it will not impose limits on mortgage loans without consulting commercial banks, after an attempt to introduce such rules triggered fierce protests from the banks.
It is the third time in the past year that the central bank has introduced regulations designed to reduce risk in the banking sector, only to back off from enforcing them after meeting opposition in the business community.
The incident raises questions over authorities' regulation of banks as the UAE recovers from Dubai's corporate debt crisis of 2008-2010 and seeks to avoid the boom-and-bust cycle that plagued its real estate market in the past decade.
A circular sent to commercial banks by the central bank late last month, and seen by Reuters, said mortgage loans for foreign individuals should not exceed 50 percent of property value for a first purchase of a home, and 40 percent for subsequent homes. Caps for UAE citizens were set at 70 percent and 60 percent.
But UAE state news agency WAM on Tuesday quoted central bank governor Sultan Nasser al-Suweidi as saying the circular would not be enforced and was merely intended to help banks prepare for eventual rule changes which would reflect their feedback.
"There is no such system regulating real estate financing for individuals. This is now a proposed system to be issued after consultation with the banks," WAM quoted Suweidi as telling Abu Dhabi television.
The central bank intends to introduce regulations covering the mortgage market but only after six to nine months, and there are no current discussions on possible percentages for mortgage caps, he added.
The central bank's climb-down was first reported in comments attributed to Suweidi by Al Ittihad newspaper on Monday.
Last month's central bank circular was met by a storm of protest, with bankers complaining they were not consulted and that the rules could hurt banks and slow the UAE real estate market's recovery from its 2008-2010 crash.
The Emirates Bank Association, the industry's lobbying group, met last week and agreed to submit formal proposals to the central bank to water down its rules.
The controversy recalled two previous climb-downs by the central bank. It announced last April that from Sept. 30 last year, banks would have to limit their exposure to state-linked entities. Some big banks were above the limits when the deadline passed, and in December, the central bank announced it was suspending the rules while it consulted banks.
Similarly, requirements for banks to hold a certain proportion of their assets in liquid instruments were announced last year and then suspended.
The central bank does not publicly discuss its decisions and it is not clear why it has backed down from enforcing regulation. Suweidi, who began his career in Abu Dhabi's sovereign wealth fund, has been in his position since 1991; last November, top Abu Dhabi banker Khalifa Mohammed al-Kindi became the central bank's new chairman.
The UAE and particularly Dubai are financial centres for the entire Gulf, so commercial bankers have considerable influence.
Also, there is likely to be some debate within the government over how much regulation should be allowed to slow economic growth. Dubai depends more on its banking sector and real estate market than Abu Dhabi, which has huge oil reserves.
A UAE commercial banker, who declined to be named because of the sensitivity of his remarks, said the central bank was now trying to save face after causing confusion among bankers and their customers with "unilateral and arbitrary directives".
Mortgage caps are the right way to keep speculators out of the UAE's property market but the original circular was too harsh, said Fadi Moussalli, regional director at global real estate services firm Jones Lang LaSalle.
"The law sends the right signal to the market as it aims at limiting the brutal ups and downs of prices, but we feel that the first draft was too quick, too simple and too harsh."

Just finished downloading it & going to see if anything is left on the trial account from ages ago though I feel I'll start over regardless. Anyone else going in to try this out to see what it's all about or what all has changed?
Once I figure out characters/server info I'll put that up if there is any of the server stuff on the f2p version.
Edit-just got through the intro area & finding this a gem of an mmo/rpg in at least how it treats rogues with traps/hidden doors (always felt WoW ignored most of this to just make rogues combat only). I might be able to answer a few questions people might have on this from my impressions so far, the mmo is good for many things but combat still feels a little loose & would love to have a button to just grab nearby loot. Went with the Thelanis server using ShadyRaven for my rogue.

What is a SWGTC Preloaded Financial Aid Debit Card?
Beginning fall semester (Aug. 2012), the Southwest Georgia Technical College Card is the new way to get your financial aid refunds faster and easier. Your refund will be loaded onto your personal preloaded VISA card each semester, so keep your card in a safe place. There is a charge for lost cards.
How do I get my card?
Verify your mailing address and telephone contact number in Banner Web NOW! Notify the Student Services of any changes that need to be made. The card will be mailed to you within the first 2 weeks of the term from Suntrust Bank in a plain envelope. If a refund is due, the funds will be loaded on the card 4 weeks after the semester begins.
What does it cost?
There is no cost for your first card or for using your card at local businesses. You also may obtain cash advances at no fee at SunTrust ATM's or inside VISA participating banks.
What should I do when I receive the card?
Call the number on the card to activate it immediately. Keep your card in a safe place. Don't share your PIN with anyone.
How do I use the card?
You can use your SWGTC card just like a debit card at local businesses, the SWGTC bookstore, or anywhere that accepts VISA. You may also receive cash advances at no fee at SunTrust ATM's or inside VISA participating banks.
I am already signed up for direct deposit. Will I automatically receive a SWGTC card?
No. Students who are already on direct deposit will continue to receive their refunds in that form and will not receive a SWGTC card unless they notify the business office to inactivate the direct deposit setup.
What are the fees/costs?
For full disclosure, refer to the Terms and Conditions that arrive with your card.
- Replacement Card Fee: $5.00 fee to replace a card that is lost, stolen, or damaged.
- PIN Change Fee: the first PIN change is free. $1.00 for each additional PIN change.

Strange Days Are Ruling the Season's Start
Fine Fifteen
1. Denver (2-0). Just when you thought the season was setting up to be a nice little stroll to AFC home-field advantage, here are the 15 autumn days that will try John Fox's soul: Nov. 17, Kansas City at home … Nov. 24, at New England … Dec. 1, at Kansas City.
2. Seattle (3-0). A nice afternoon scrimmage against Jacksonville Sunday. There were no casualties, which is all that matters.
3. New Orleans (3-0). Saints started 0-3 last year. Allowed 40, 35 and 27 points. Saints 3-0 this year. Allowed 17, 14 and seven points. Rob Ryan for mayor.
4. Chicago (3-0). Took the air out of Heinz Field in about 15 minutes. How about this: It's Sept. 23, and the Bears have a two-game lead on the Packers in the NFC North.
5. Miami (3-0). Two straight cliffhanger wins, and this is what I like most: Ryan Tannehill, though taking a beating, is completing two-thirds of his passes and spreading the wealth to four different receivers.
6. Indianapolis (2-1). Watched most of the second half at San Francisco. That was no fluke win. Ahmad Bradshaw made the following statement: I count.
7. New England (3-0). First time since the 16-0 regular-season of 2007 that New England has started 3-0. I mean, just saying.
8. Kansas City (3-0). Quarterback Alex Smith has something in common with the rest of the KC offense: zero turnovers through three games. Not to rewrite history, or say the Niners made the wrong call on Alex Smith/Colin Kaepernick, but to refresh your memory about what a gutsy decision Jim Harbaugh made in benching Smith for Kaepernick last fall, Smith was 27 of 29 (.931) for 313 yards, four touchdowns, no interceptions and a 151.2 rating in his final passes as a 49er.
9. Baltimore (2-1). No Ray Rice with the explosive Texans coming to town, and the Ravens win by 21. That's a big win for a team with a lot of new parts. And good contributions by newbies Daryl Smith and Tandon Doss (he's sort of a newbie).
10. Cincinnati (2-1). This is an odd team. The Bengals can look like the Bungles, as they did in allowing Green Bay to score 30 points in a row Sunday. But then the D can rise up and bat three Aaron Rodgers passes down at the end of the game to preserve one of the wildest wins Marvin Lewis has ever had.
11. San Francisco (1-2). Last two weeks—Foes 56, Niners 10. Best line of the Aldon Smith stupidity, from Tim Kawakami of the San Jose Mercury News: "Aldon Smith was arrested at 7 a.m., one hour AFTER Kaepernick starts work."
12. Dallas (2-1). The Cowboys are the class of the NFC East by default—though they played well in embarrassing the Rams. DeMarco Murray needs to stay healthy, or the over-reliance on Tony Romo will hurt their chances of playing deep into January.
13. Atlanta (1-2). Roddy White: seven catches, 56 yards. For the season. Don't tell me that doesn't hurt.
14. Houston (2-1). The Texans are better than they showed Sunday, but in their three weeks so far, they: overcame a 21-point deficit to win at San Diego, needed a huge late-game rally to beat Tennessee in overtime, and got whacked by the Ravens. Not good.
15. (tie) Tennessee (2-1). Sunday was the first day I have watched the Jake Locker Titans and said: I can see this guy being a good quarterback for a long time.
(tie) Detroit (2-1). The defense is making progress. Three foes have a composite 70.8 passer rating. The Lions haven't been under an opposing passer rating of 89 for the season since the Joey Harrington Era.
The Award Section
Offensive Players of the Week
Brian Hoyer, QB, Cleveland. Roll this one around in your head: The third-string quarterback for Cleveland won a road game over a 2012 playoff team and had a 30-of-54 performance in a stunning post-Trent-trade victory. (I understand the three interceptions are big minuses, but drive after drive Hoyer showed he belonged on this stage.) No way he can be yanked out of the starting job now.
Ahmad Bradshaw, RB, Indianapolis. You saw the will of a very good running back in the fourth quarter at San Francisco. Bradshaw, who had to hear for three days before the game that the Colts finally got a franchise back to shore up a weak position, came out and bled the clock in the fourth quarter like Emmitt Smith. He ran it 11 times for 62 yards when everyone in the stadium knew the run was coming—and when coach Chuck Pagano had Trent Richardson next to him on the bench for much of the quarter. For the day, Bradshaw ran 19 times for 95 yards in a win no one saw coming.
Defensive Players of the Week
Justin Houston, OLB, Kansas City. Hard to imagine any defensive player in any game this season playing any better than Houston did Thursday night in Philadelphia. Houston set the edge against the wide runs by Philadelphia, and tormented Michael Vick like he has been few times in his career. Houston, a third-year player from Georgia, is just 24, and we could be seeing the dawn of the career of the next great outside linebacker. Houston's game in Philadelphia:
• 4.5 sacks, for 28 combined yards lost.
• Three passes deflected.
• One forced fumble.
• Two fumble recoveries.
Greg Hardy, DE, Carolina. Pretty tough to hold the Giants (at least the Giants of old) to 150 total yards and zero points, but Hardy and his friends in the Carolina front seven stifled Eli Manning all day and totally embarrassed the New York offensive line. Hardy: three sacks, eight tackles.
Special Teams Players of the Week
Spencer Lanning, P/K/holder, Cleveland. Hard to imagine a special teams player doing more for his team in a win. Lanning holds for kicker Billy Cundiff. He punts, and averaged 46.8 yards on five boots at the Metrodome Sunday. In the second quarter, from field-goal formation, he threw a perfect 11-yard touchdown pass to Jordan Cameron. And with Cundiff slightly injured late in the game, Lanning, who was a kicker/punter in college at South Carolina, entered and kicked the PAT on the final touchdown of the game. He's the first man since Sam Baker of the Eagles in 1968 to have a PAT, punt and a touchdown pass in the same game.
Tamba Hali, OLB, Kansas City. Hali thought he was playing on the extra-point defense team when the Eagles scored their first touchdown Thursday night. But Philadelphia called for a weird formation, where only long-snapper Jon Dorenbos, the holder and kicker were in their usual spots. The other eight players on the Eagles' conversion team were split left, with a huge gap between Dorenbos and the rest of the linemen. Behind the linemen was tight end Zach Ertz. Instead of snapping the ball for a PAT, Dorenbos lifted it off the ground and passed it sideways to Ertz, who immediate lurched forward trying to score the two points. But Hali, sprinting in from Ertz's right, slammed him to the ground for no gain. Imagine how alert you have to be to anticipate this, and then to react to something you've never seen before and wreck it.
Tandon Doss, PR-WR, Baltimore. Cut and re-signed by the Ravens in their desperation for a receiver/returner, Doss made the play of the game in a 21-point Baltimore victory over Houston. Doss took a Shane Lechler punt at the Ravens' 18, veered toward the right sideline, and sprinted/tiptoed for 25 yards of the trip. His 82-yard touchdown run was a tribute to his athletic ability and jarring speed.
Coach of the Week
Chris Ault, consultant, Kansas City. Andy Reid hired Ault, who coached Nevada and developed Colin Kaepernick into an NFL quarterback, in the offseason to help his team in a variety of ways. Ault's job is shrouded in mystery. But you can see his effect on both offense and defense. Andy Reid has adopted some of Ault's stuff into his West Coast offense—Pro Football Focus had Alex Smith lined up in the pistol eight times Thursday night—and he's also been active in helping the Kansas City defense against the wide-open offenses the Chiefs will play this year. I can only guess why Ault's role is top secret: Kansas City travels to Washington Dec. 8. Ault and Kyle Shanahan, before Ault took this job, exchanged some ideas informally last winter. I can tell you Reid's staff values Ault highly, and he had a big hand in divining what Chip Kelly was doing on Thursday night.
Goats of the Week
Will Beatty, tackle, New York Giants. The Giants haven't had a worse shutout loss in 40 years than the 38-0 job at Carolina Sunday, and it's doubtful anyone played worse than the left tackle, Beatty. He was awful in the first half as the Panthers ravaged Eli Manning for six sacks, and he added two penalties.
Marcus Gilchrist, strong safety, San Diego. Gilchrist dropped the clinching interception with 44 seconds left in the fourth quarter (Tennessee tight end Delanie Walker helped with a hit, but this was 90 percent on Gilchrist), and that drop is a direct reason why the Chargers are 1-2 today and not 2-1.
Peter Here is What I didn't like from last weekend: 49ers Coach Harbaugh trying to play stupid with the reporter that asked him about the dope that Aldon Smith had in the car. Really Jim your going to try and act like you didn't hear about it, I mean that is what he told the reporter. I heard about it myself while listening to some sports break on some radio station in Florida on my I Heart Radio APP and Jim is going to try and act like none of his Coaches, no one in that 49ers organization informed him that his star defensive player not only was DUI but also had dope- Don't buy it for a second, I also think Coach is two bit for allowing Aldon to play but not allowing the special teams guy from last year play after his DUI. DOUBLE STANDARD exist, you have no credibility after this with your players Jim...classless moves on both fronts!
Nobody reads my blog or gives a rat about what I think about football, so I take it out on the world by sending Peter King hate mail that he probably won't read. This makes me feel powerful. Now if I can just move out of my mom's basement life would be perfect
Now that I think about it, this article may be just the thing that gets my junior high sister interested in the NFL. Half the stuff in here would fit in the "Life & Style" section of the websites she reads. I will just have her keep me posted on the latest trends and gossip of the NFL. Sorry, but this is just weird. I've switched from "newreader" to "noreader". Am I missing something?
Peter King is like the Ryan Seacrest of NFL gossip. Where's the football?
As to the use of the term "Redskins"
As a person who vehemently believes that the concept of gaining
governmental power by circumstance of birth, and maintaining that power
by bequeathing it to succeeding generations is fundamentally and morally
wrong, I will no longer use the term "King". From now on, I will
simply refer to a certain SI columnist as "Spanky"
One record that Favre and Manning share is throwing a game winning ball to a Saints defenseman to seal games in 2009.
I'm sure Lawrence Taylor appreciated your comment. Way to stay classy there King! Classless cheap shot about 2 men who have/had personal problems. Look in the mirror once in awhile, will humble you quick.
Three thoughts:
1) I was not one of those who agreed with the way Harbaugh handled Smith v Kaepernick. From a loyalty standpoint, I believed then and now, that Harbaugh owed his starter, Smith, his job back. , I saw the flaws in Kaepernick, flash and pizazz over strong and steady wins the race, so I am not surprised at the results so far this season!
2) Plaintiffs attorney Weiss has hit upon the goose that can continue to lay the golden egg in saying that the NFL was prepared to sell-out college football for any plaintiff's not signing on to the deal. Somebody is going to put a class action together against Major College's and their leagues and that will make the NFL settlement look like small potatoes!
3) The Newsroom is unwatchable for anyone except a Liberal like the guy who writes this column!
1) Broncos - Front-runner.
2) Seahawks- Impressive play thus far. Can they keep it up? I don't know, but they're damned good. Not a lot of weak links on this squad.
3) Colts - One loss to a very tough Miami team, that itself has an impressive record, a formidable defense and a quarterback coming into his own. The Colts are just difficult team to beat. They're well-coached and like the Chiefs, they always come to play.
4) Chiefs - Underrated quarterback, fantastic coach who knows how to motivate his players. Good play on both sides of the ball. As a Giants fan I always hated to play the Eagles under Andy Reid. Even when they sucked, they didn't suck. Expect more success.
5) Patriots - Lot of questions, but when you have Tom Brady, you're never out of the top 10.
6) Dolphins - A lot of questions, but great play thus far. If they continue to play at a high level consistently, and most importantly, continue to win, they may actually sneak into the top 5. A true dark horse.
7) Saints - 3-0 and a proven history of success. Brees always competes. All the punditry in the world is not worth more than actual data. Seeing is believing. The Saints are contenders because they've shown themselves to be in the past; repeatedly. Plenty of questions, no doubt, but we've also received plenty of answers about the quality of this side.
8) Bears - 3-0, but look who they have played! They snuck through the first two! Not in the top 5. Sorry, guys.
9) Niners - Good team, many problems. Is Kaepernick really who many think he is, or should I say anointed him as? It doesn't look good. His consistency issues and lack of consistent success make this team look very troublesome. This all-star team is being thinned of its all-stars and is beginning to resemble a shell of its former self. Also, strategically, other teams have learned how to defend against its style, and overrun its vulnerable defense. I still expect them to slither or power their way into the playoffs, but a complete collapse and disaster of a season is also quite plausible. Hard to place this team now. I think they'll recover, but will they prosper?
10) Texans - I don't think this team has regressed much. They're quite good. I just think they lack some integral components.
11) Packers- Better than their record indicates. They did kind of have one stolen from them, after all.
12) Bengals - Solid team all around.
13) Ravens - Not quite who they once were. Expect the Bengals and the Ravens to duel it out come season-end for that division title, because I don't expect either one to have a better record than Miami or KC, so if they don't take the division, they won't make the playoffs. Houston and Indy also might be in a similar situation, although both of them have a significantly better chance of making it in over Miami for the wildcard.
14) Falcons - Who is this team? I really don't know, but they're probably better than their record indicates. They've had a tough schedule thus far.
15) Cowboys- Big improvement from last year. Not really a competitor for the championship though. With Romo as your quarterback, dreams like that are a bit overwrought. Sorry, Dallas.
Biggest disappointments- Giants, Redskins, and Pittsburgh. The off-season will be long for those sides. Although at least for the first two, their division is wide open. 10-6 or 9-7 could potentially do it for either team in the NFC East, but don't expect any of them to go very far in the postseason.
Hey Peter King:
How does
Ten Things I Think I Think
Equal forty five?
Saints already ranked at number 3. What were those bozo "experts" thinking when they picked Atlanta to win the division and the Saints wouldn't make the play offs. Hello? Sean Payton is back and the defense is good enough, just as it's always been when he's been there. As if...
So called "Professional Journalists" are supposed to be objective and non-biased.
Peter King is anything but, and is clearly a Dallas Cowboys hater, quick to kick them when they are down and loath to give them credit when they are up (if ever). Last week he calls out the team's rookie center for one bad play when in reality T.F. has done an incredible job over the past few weeks (AND HE IS A ROOKIE!). Then this week, the Dallas Cowboys play one of their best and most complete, dominating games in years and all he can do is call out Dez Bryant for offensive PI? Seriously?
That Peter King dislikes the Cowboys has been obvious for years, but this week it is so blatant that I can't let it pass without comment.
If you can't keep your personal grudges out of your work, then how about not saying anything at all? At least that way you will keep some semblance of credibility.
also another offensive pi that should've been called on hunter who also pushed off clearly pushed off. also on the game winning td that the bengals got if that had happened 2 minutes and 34 seconds later, it may not have been as bad, as the bengals would've gotten it but the ball would've been dead once it was fumbled forward because of the rule passed after the 1975 season i believe
The Idiots on Big Blue Interactive are sooooooo afraid to place Any blame on Jerry Reese ,Giants GM,for trading,dropping,players that the Giants desperately need.
King points out how ugly Houston's wins were, and says nothing about how New England is one of the worst looking 3-0 teams in several decades. Pats could very easily, and probably should be, 1-2.
I agree with Peter that Dez Bryant's red-zone catch against Cortland Finnegan was a textbook Offensive Pass Interference penalty as a result of a push-off.
As a Cowboy fan, I couldn't believe he got away with it. But I'll take what I can get.
Still can't help but to overrate the Niners even after getting blown out and dominated two weeks in a row. LOL
Didn't even address how stupid it was of you and every other pundit to not see the writing on the wall considering the Niners obvious failings. 1-2 and still in your top 15? LOL I mean if they barely lost the games I would agree with the idea of keeping them up there, but they didn't. They looked terrible. Like they aren't even a good team.
Also 3-0, just saying is about as weak an argument as can be made to continue your love affair with the Pats. Two rookie QB's on mediocre teams and a terrible QB who hates his coach in a melodramatic meltdown situation and you can still kid yourself into believing the Pats are a top 10 team? Pretty pathetic.
"How is that Dez Bryant red-zone TD catch not offensive pass interference? He pushed the defensive back down, then turned around and caught the pass. Yes, he and Cortland Finnegan both made contact, but Bryant extended both arms and pushed Finnegan down."
And Finnegan extended both of his arms too! Let them play.
When is Peyton going to pass Favre's interception record? Just wonderin'...
Life-long Cardinal and Niners fan here and I'm starting to think that Jim Harbaugh is an average-at-best coach whose shortcomings were disguised by Andrew Luck during their time at the Farm. The game plans in the past four games (including last year's SB) were atrocious. Anquan Boldin bailed him out in week one, but I'm not going to be surprised if the Niners go to London 2-5.
PK ranking an untested Patriots team much higher than it deserves? I'm shocked!
Miami 3 and 0. Pittsburgh 0 and 3. welcome to today's NFL where more than one undefeated team could easily be 0 and 3 and other way around too. 3 and 0 chiefs were last seasons last place team
What I don't get is this notion that Brian Hoyer learned volumes from Brady and the Patriots. He can learn all he wants but it still takes talent to win, ask Matt Cassel.
Of course our resident lefty Peter King likes 'The Newsroom.' I made it through 3.5 episodes of that facile propaganda before cancelling my HBO subscription.
Not sure the glib Giants-Jets Super Bowl remark merited two mentions in the same article. I mean-- exactly who had forecasted this in the first place?
Peter is calling out the refs for a blatant missed call. I watched a couple of other games and highlights and saw other botched calls, some were terrible and influenced the outcome. And just think, everyone, including Peter, was bemoaning the replacement refs and how we need the "professionals" back. I guess we now know why the refs were so against having alternates refs waiting as a part of their new agreement. And you now see why the NFL was adamant about having them.
The "world" ain't watching Aldon Smith. Most people on the planet don't even know who the 49ers are, much less who Aldon Smith is. ... Hail to the Redskins.
@MarkBray It's not a cheap shot when the actions involved are 100% self-induced by someone too stupid or weak-willed to make correct life decisions.
@Jon8 As for Weiss, I'm not sure he sold out college football, but faced the real issue that if the plaintiff claims damages currently manifested are from the cumulative effects of blows to the head, the NFL is going to ask, "When did these cumulative effects begin?' The answer, for most of these guys goes back to junior high or even Pop Warner. Thus, any blame for damage is only partially the league's. If the NFL dumped it on the colleges, they can turn around and tag high schools. The other hurdle players would have to face is their own willingness to place themselves at risk. Part of the players culture is to "play hurt" and "walk it off". How many times did these guys get their bell rung and continue to play? If the coaches didn't notice they were dazed, did they hide it or did they admit to being woozy. How often did a player insist that they were okay when asked, but they knew they were actually a bit out of it? Going to trial would have been an iffy proposition that could take time that some guys can't afford, and could have resulted in not much more gain.
@Shane Mac Wow, you're the 46th person to mention the 45 things...
@dennis Let's see how long it takes for the next "special program" to come out of NOLA before we starting licking Payton's lollipop. The guy lost my respect - and that from many others - with not only the garbage he allowed to happen as HC but also the sickening coverup. So roost all you want about the "rejuvenated" Aints, but no matter what happens people (outside NOLA) will always question everything that Payton's teams accomplish.
@Iwawashi MMQB is a opinion column, he does not have to be non-biased at all. He writes what he wants, and you either enjoy it or you don't. I never have understood why people would get so upset over a free internet column.
Actually, I was just thinking the same thing. I have noticed the lack of anything positive to say about the Cowboys when something is being said at all in this column. I am not saying there needs to be anything positive said but to always write the negative reeks of a biased opinion. There are many reasons to not like the owner or certain aspects of the team. The game against the Chiefs was a good example of many things to be negative about on many levels. However, if you want to point out the questionable non call of contact from Dez in this game with the Rams, then you should also point out the questionable contact call in the game last week with the Chiefs. Obviously you could do this with most teams in most games but the point here is there seems to be a pervasive sense of biased negativity towards the 'boys. Just saying.
@SportPage Calling Mr. MMQB a hypocrite? SO IT AIN'T SO! :P
@Christopher31 Of course you will. He probably learned the technique from watching film of Drew Pearson
What I like most is i am pretty sure it was this column or somewhere is SI.com that it was written during the pre-season that the 49's QB was one of the top QB's. I am not saying that he is not good but we seem quick to anoint people who have not really put in their time. It was almost as bad as all of the Eagle fans believing the first game this year was a sign of things to come....this year. Reality is a beech
@Yieldman Hint: Never. Lil' Abner will own that particular record for at least a half of a century.
@M30 along with a bunch (check the column again if you don't believe it) of other references to Boston, New England, New York
fatboy King's east coast bias? Nnaaaaahhhhhhhh
@jj55 What caused you to order HBO in the first place? I'm assuming there are some very good shows/movies on HBO that you do enjoy. So instead of just not watching 'The Newsroom' you give up the other shows to make a point? That's pretty stupid. Who knows that "The Newsroom" is why you dropped HBO? Besides your family and possibly your cable provider and now us, your fellow MMQB commenters. We are all very impressed by your self-righteousness.
You're a hero to all of us, jj55.
Just wondering how you're going to get your fix of Bill Maher?
@Pancho VillaRedskins Redskins Redskins Redskins Redskins Redskins. There, I said the name of the 0-3 Washington franchise six times. Still not racist.
@Mike26 @Shane Mac And now you're the 47th, albeit indirectly.
@Mike26 @dennis Oh please, as if every defense doesn't try to hurt the offensive players. How naive can you possibly be? Are you serious? I am not a Saints fan. I am a Texans fan, but I am not an idiot. Every defense on every team, every game in ever year every play, has players that try to hurt the offensive players. That is just how football is played. The NFL wants that to change and I actually support that, but I am not stupid enough to think their hair brained lynch mob thing with the Saints painted the Saints as the only team that played football that way. I watch all games every Sunday and that happens in every game. It is being diminished, but get over yourself, it isn't because of the BS perpetrated against the Saints last year. It is due to the daily fines and penalties for each individual hit.
True and point taken. There is a place for people's opinions. I would not say I am upset so that is an over reaction on your part. I was only making an observation and since this is a forum, I reserve the right to make the observation. You can agree or disagree. Taking a cue from your own comment with a slight modification, "I never have understood why people would get so upset" over a posting in a forum in a free internet column.
I guess I was misguided to think that someone might offer some good analyses, opinion and reviews for those of us looking for an informed overview of the week's events. PK has every right to be a biased as he wants. It is his column with his opinions as you pointed out.
Drew's push-off was so subtle, it doesn't even compare; I can see how it wasn't called.
After Dez's catch, I kept waiting for the sky to rain yellow.
I kinda wish the rules would allow for a little more physicality...so what if there's a certain degree of pushing and shoving - as long as the players aren't grabbing cloth to impede progress, or they aren't just totally mugging one another, let up bump and fight a little!!!
@opaque2 @Christopher31 Golden Tate pushoff against GB was the most obvious
@Carnifex exactly what is a Redskin? I know what an Eagle or Bengal is but some of these nicknames are confusing. What are Browns or Packers? Browns sounds racist and Packers is homosexual related? I don't understand.
@CharlesHenry3 @Just sayin' @spac3er @Carnifex Wow, excellent reply. This is one of the RARE moments that I learn something in reader comments. Thank you for not trolling and actually making a civilized, insightful comment.
@Just sayin' @spac3er @Carnifex FYI - in case you're all not being sarcastic, the term "redskin" was an early reference to the native population found in the Americas by European settlers. It referred less to their actual skin tone than to the paint that they wore, which was a reddish color.
In recent times, it has become increasingly considered an offensive term, even though the number of incidents where the term is used in a derogatory manner is miniscule to the point of nonexistence.
As a person of native ancestry, I do find that Peter is dramatically over-reacting, especially considering that the name of the team in question (Washington Redskins) was originally intended as a tribute to their coach, William Dietz, whose mother was of native ancestry.
Oddly enough, nobody who professes taking offense at the name wants to address the fact that in three different polls conducted over the past 10 years, the percentage of native American people who found no offense at the name ranged from 75% to 91%. Even if only 75% have no issue, why is it so many others profess an issue?
I don't see this as something that will curb any racism, anymore than seeing the name on a team will encourage it. Racism has not been lessened in recent years despite the outpouring of political correctness and the changing of so many team names. Millions of dollars spent on team name changes, and yet there is no appreciable difference in what really matters - so what is the point?
Browns is named after the original owner, Paul Brown.
Packers were originally financed by the Indian Packing Company, a meat packing plant in Green Bay, hence the name Packers.
Not totally sure about the Redskin name. I believe it refers to the color of the warpaint that the Indians applied before going to war.
