Is television as we know it dead? Or has it already turned into something we never anticipated?
Is television as we know it dead? Or has it already turned into something we never anticipated?
With more people adding Netflix's streaming service to their menu of viewing options (or making it their only option), the site has begun to offer exclusive television series, much like HBO and Showtime. Beginning today, Netflix subscribers can watch the entire 13-episode political drama "House of Cards," starring Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright.
Spacey stars in this dark Washington melodrama as Francis Underwood, the House majority whip, a rising star who is denied a promised promotion to secretary of state by the president he just helped elect. From that moment on, he schemes to destroy the commander in chief.
"Cards" is based on a BBC miniseries of the same name. The pilot and second episode were directed by David Fincher ("The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo"), who is also executive producer, and written by Beau Willimon ("Ides of March"), who saddles Spacey with spectacularly unnatural dialogue.
In drama, there are many fine lines between serious and dull, between exalted and pretentious, and between somber and dreary. "Cards" crosses every line. The series opens with Spacey's Underwood performing a mercy killing on a dog that had just been struck by a hit-and-run driver. He does this while offering a glum soliloquy on the difference between necessary pain and needless suffering. It goes downhill from there.
— Cultures clash and family bonds are stretched to the breaking point in the new series "Belle's" (10 on TV One). Bill (Keith David), the widowed owner of a soul food restaurant, bickers frequently with two very different daughters. Practical Jill (Elise Neal) juggles her job as the restaurant's manager with her life as a single mom. Her princess sister, Loreta (Tami Roman), daydreams about stardom in the music business and finding a rich husband.
"Belle's," produced by Ed. Weinberger ("Taxi," "The Cosby Show"), is a throwback of sorts, mixing controversial social issues, one-liners and touching family dynamics.
— Train performs, as football stars of the past and present appear, on "Best Super Bowl Concert Ever" (9 on VH1). In other music news, Showtime broadcasts "Mumford & Sons: The Road to Red Rocks" (8).
— Miss "Fringe" on Fox? Catch repeats of "Fringe" (8, 9 and 10 on Science, TV-14) every Friday.
— The Jekyll and Hyde fantasy handled so clumsily on NBC's "Do No Harm" arrives all too realistically on "Who the (Bleep) Did I Marry?" (10 and 10:30 on ID, TV-14).
— Sibling rivals ruin a restaurant on "Kitchen Nightmares" (8 on Fox, TV-14).
— The chief brand officer of Boston Market becomes an "Undercover Boss" (8 on CBS, TV-14).
— Steve Harvey hosts the 44th NAACP Image Awards (8 on NBC, TV-PG).
— "Drain the Ocean: Revealed" (8 on National Geographic, TV-G) takes a two-hour look at the world beneath the waves.
— A failed air conditioner reveals an air duct of horror on "Infested!" (9 on Animal Planet, TV-PG).
— Carroll's cruel plans enter a new phase on "The Following" (9 on Fox, repeat, TV-14).
— A naked twist on running shoes on "Shark Tank" (9 on ABC, TV-PG).
— Rat bites are just the start of one man's woes on "Blue Bloods" (10 on CBS, TV-14).
— Arthur laughs off a curse on Camelot on "Merlin" (10 on Syfy, TV-PG). Bad move.
— A heist goes awry in the state capital on "Banshee" (10 on Cinemax, TV-MA).
— Spartacus has trouble feeding his growing legions on "Spartacus: War of the Damned" (9 on Starz, TV-MA).

Park Rangers in Death Valley Want You to Stop Trying to Fry Eggs on the Pavement
Temperatures in Death Valley National Park reached 126 degrees last week and have been over 120 on several days this summer. If you're thinking that that's probably hot enough to fry an egg on the pavement...you're WRONG. And the park rangers there would like people to stop trying.

When it comes to soybean cyst nematode, which costs U.S. soybean farmers $1 billion annually in crop losses, farmers can never have enough potential solutions. Twice recently, research funded by the United Soybean Board and soy checkoff has yielded potential breakthroughs in fighting off this devastating disease.
In a paper titled "A Soybean Cyst Nematode Resistance Gene Points to a New Mechanism of Plant Resistance to Pathogens," scientists reveal that they identified and validated the gene at the Rhg4 locus, a major driver in a soybean plant's resistance to SCN.
"The checkoff has a number of projects that aim to identify the genes in a soybean plant that can effectively control SCN," says USB Production program Chair Jim Schriver, a soybean farmer from Bluffton, Ind. "Even though there are different types of SCN, if we could take advantage of those genes that control resistance, it would be effective for all types of SCN."
The study, published recently in the online journal Nature, is the first to identify the gene and its mechanism for creating resistance, according to the article's lead authors, Khalid Meksem, Ph.D., of Southern Illinois University Carbondale and Melissa Goellner Mitchum, Ph.D., of the University of Missouri at Columbia.
"Funding and support from USB and the soy checkoff have been crucial to this new discovery of disease resistance, which will be used to develop products that will benefit U.S. soybean farmers," says Meksem, associate professor of plant, soil science and agricultural systems at SIUC. "This discovery comes at a time when farmers need new solutions, as the nematodes adapt and find ways through the soybeans' defenses."
The team hopes their research will lead to a better understanding of how the resistant genes work and ultimately lead to improved crop yield.
A separate checkoff-funded project recently found that soybean plants with multiple copies of a multi-gene block known as Rhg1 also show better resistance to SCN. Both projects allow researchers to focus on these gene structures – Rhg1 and Rhg4 – to help them develop SCN-resistant U.S. soybean varieties.

St. Cloud Hospital, Ex-Nurse Sued Over Siphoned Drugs [AUDIO]
ST. CLOUD (AP) - Four former patients are suing St. Cloud Hospital and a former nurse who admitted siphoning pain medication from IV bags for personal use.
The former patients accuse the hospital and former nurse Blake Zenner of negligence. The lawsuits in Stearns County court allege the four patients developed bloodstream infections because of Zenner's drug diversion that led to high fevers and pain.
St. Cloud Hospital spokeswoman Jeanine Nistler says the four patients who are suing opted not to meet with the hospital and to pursue legal action instead.
Nistler says the hospital believes no patients were substantially harmed by the drug diversion.
Zenner pleaded guilty to stealing the painkiller medication and has surrendered his nursing license. His attorney did not immediately return a phone call Tuesday.

Written somewhat foolhardily in the middle of a seminar, and published on July 17, 2012. As it happens, this post is this blog's 888th.
In the ongoing dispute with the new superpower over competing territorial claims, the Philippines finds itself between the devil and the South China Sea. No simple solution to the controversy appears on the horizon, and the country has recourse to only a few options.
But some options are better than others. I would like to make the case that, contrary to the usual speculative criticism, the Philippines has actually made the best of a bad situation. I remain worried that, in the end, and as a Chinese journalist I met last month on his way to New York argued persuasively, the current shape of the conflict would only strengthen the all-too-visible hand of the People's Liberation Army. But what, really, can we do? The country's options are limited. Continue reading

Thanks for your kind comments. I met "Art House Design" Blogger -Victoria, yesterday - she lives nearby and we met via blogs, and she is German and so lovely. Hope you will say "Guten tag" to her.

I'm ashamed to say I don't. I'm often too busy concentrating on 'reading' what my clients are actually NOT saying to me, rather than what they are! I will try harder @ finding my SSV. A beautiful & thoughtful post Patricia.

Beautiful painting. I used to try not to listen to the still small voice, but now I realize that is the one I should be listening to. I'm working on it, but getting better.

I try to listen to my inner voice... for me that has come with age and experiance. Somehow that old adage applies here... "Older and wiser". That's a lovely painting P. Is it recent work?

Every time I visit your site I'm inspired to stop what I'm doing and go dig out my watercolor set! Your paintings are just so beautiful.
The weather forecast is for a fantastic day- I think I'll listen to my inner voice and feed my soul with a little creativity!
- September 15, 2009 at 8:52 AM
Great piece! Love how the pears pop out of the piece.
That little voice also can be a big burden when your creating. When my little creative voice keeps second guessing me i turn on my ipod(volume on Max)!

loving the gray blues and hint of citrus tones in this painting. and your quiet voice sounds inspiring. i must listen closer as lately i don't seem to be able to find the peace when i create. more of a whirlwind these days but i appreciate the gentle reminder.
and thanks for stopping by yesterday. i've missed our exchange.

Where does it come from that still small voice? Why is it still? Why is it small? If so much wisdom is there, if it is the voice that should be our native tongue, why is it is so stealthy? While some would say it is the voice of God, I prefer to think of it as spirit. Rather like a thousands of years of human experience crammed into one tiny little CD that operates on random play with only one speed and with a low-watt battery that gets charged only when it is used. The ultimate use or lose it perhaps. Oh well, to the garden to ponder and happy painting to you.

Your wrote son wonderfully, "Creativity requires one to really "listen from within." When you work, do you listen to that still small voice?"
Yes, I do! I just sent you an email in response to a question you had for me. My best for a wonderful day, with much creativity, thank you for your lovely painting.

I've learned to always listen to my gut instinct. I always read recipes carefully to consider the taste it might have then listen to my inner voice to really consider if it would be tasty. I also listen often to my "inner mommy" - knowing when to let my daughter take a risk, and when to hold her close.

Thanks to each of you, the still voice is often hard to hear or other noise like "static" can get in the way, so it is important to find that wee voice or just to be silent. Hard to do.

John Lennon said he felt in order to give out (music) he had to give within, spending time, I guess, being so quiet he could hear his inner voice.

Patricia, thank you for your kind words...
I try to listen to my small voice and sometimes it takes awhile to quiet the noise within. I try that for my life in general.
But when I create I usually try to let IT speak to me and my voice listens.
- September 16, 2009 at 12:09 AM
I find that sometimes, the only time I hear that voice in when it is completely silent and I am alone. And it can even be uncomfortable, because how often are we REALLY in silence and stillness?
But when I hear it speak to me...I remember...
- September 16, 2009 at 1:07 AM

I think you have to listen to that voice when you create. Who else are we going to listen to? :) Love your beautiful painting. The colors are really gorgeous!

absolutely, but don't you wish that small voice would speak up at times? why is it that the wisest voice is the quietest?

About the Film:
This film will be introduced by Jack Garner, who was a film critic and writer for the Democrat and Chronicle for 30 years. He became Gannett's chief film critic in 1987, for which he saw tens of thousands of films and interviewed numerous Hollywood legends before retiring in Rochester. He remains undiminished as a mighty force for local cinema.
In 1959, Truman Capote, a popular writer for The New Yorker, learns about the horrific and senseless murder of a family of four in Holcomb, Kansas. Inspired by the story material, Capote and his partner, Harper Lee, travel to the town to research for an article. However, as Capote digs deeper into the story, he is inspired to expand the project into what would be his greatest work, In Cold Blood. To that end, he arranges extensive interviews with the prisoners, especially with Perry Smith, a quiet and articulate man with a troubled history. As he works on his book, Capote feels some compassion for Perry which in part prompts him to help the prisoners to some degree. However, that feeling deeply conflicts with his need for closure for his book which only an execution can provide. That conflict and the mixed motives for both interviewer and subject make for a troubling experience that would produce an literary account that would redefine modern non-fiction.

For me: landing with an assistant is always best, self-landing with a tether is just as good, landing in the water by releasing bar and winding the lines is only for an emergency. The only time I'll self-land on the beach without a tether is if I'm doing a down-winder.
disabling the kite onto the leash system is not only for "emergencies." it is effective and easy and should be something everyone is 100% comfortable with. for many purposes including self landing.
there are 3 variations of leash line / disable systems for inflatable kites: single centerline (which includes 5th line), single outside line, and double centerline. single centerline systems are effective on every inflatable kite, single outside lines work better on some kites than others and generally make a line mess on most, and double centerlines (imo) are debatably effective (i have seen them work well on some canopy shapes / bridle configurations, and very poorly on others). its not rocket science.

As regular readers know, I participate in a weekly radio show on 1280 am the Patriot in the Twin Cities. The show is also streamed live on the internet from 12 to 3 of Saturdays (central time) and replayed through the week. The Patriot can be, on occasion, a rinky-dink organization, but sometimes they do things really well. Like yesterday's picnic at a park in Eden Prairie. A remarkable number of Patriot listeners showed up to watch Taxpayers League Live and the Northern Alliance and eat free food, which was excellent. We broadcast from under an awning on the stage of an amphitheater; from left to right in the photo below are me, Brian "St. Paul" Ward, Mitch Berg and Captain Ed Morrissey (click to enlarge):
Here I am, during the show:
By the time we got well into the program, the amphitheater had filled up considerably. But you can see which had the stronger lure: shade and free food, or sitting in the hot sun to get a better view of the Northern Alliance guys.
I thought it was one of our best shows, too. In the first hour's Week In Review, we talked about the GOP's legislative successes in Washington and debated the budget deal that Governor Tim Pawlenty made with the Democrat-controlled Senate; we also explored the financial scandal that threatens to engulf Air America in more detail than you will see on any mainstream outlet. Second hour was devoted to an excellent interview with Congressman Mark Kennedy, whose effort to win the open Senate seat being vacated by Mark Dayton wiill be the most-watched (and, perhaps, most heavily contributed to) Senate race of 2006. Mark did a terrific job; he will be a formidable candidate, but will face a tough race in a state that still leans slightly Democratic. Third hour was devoted mostly to a hilarious audience participation quiz show, conducted by Mitch Berg, Chad the Elder and the slightly crazed but hysterically funny St. Paul Ward of Fraters Libertas. And, hey, I didn't even mind when they read a quote from my article defending (sort of) the Kelo decision, and asked who wrote it, with the answers being Karl Marx, Fidel Castro or John Hinderaker.
I listened to the show's third hour while en route to a vacation in the north woods. This is my kind of vacation spot: lots of walleyes and northerns, bald eagles and loons everywhere, the occasional black bear–and wireless internet service. I'll still be here next Saturday and won't be participating in next week's Northern Alliance radio show, but if you haven't tried listening to it on the internet, you should check it out.
UPDATE: By the way, notice that Mitch Berg is wearing a "Reagan Revolution" t-shirt made by the folks at thoseshirts.com, the conservative t-shirt company featured on our sidebar. They make a nice Power Line shirt, too; check them out!

Kids Acoustic GuitarLooking for a kids acoustic guitar? If you are, then be prepared to evaluate a huge number of different instruments, because there are more acoustic guitars for kids out there than you could ever have imagined. Toy guitars have been on the market for years and there is still a great number of them available. You can buy a toy guitar for $10 or less, if, you are looking for a toy. Unfortunately, these guitars are just that, toys. They should not even be considered if you are looking for a genuine beginner guitar for a child who is serious about learning this instrument. These days it is relatively easy to find a genuinely well made, reasonably priced beginner instrument from some well known guitar brands. But, don't misunderstand. What I mean by relatively easy to find is, that they are out there. You will still have to spend some time and effort to find the right one for your child.
child's Guitar or Full Size Guitar
Once the decision has been made to buy a child's guitar. The next big decision is: What kind of guitar do you want to invest in for your kids first guitar? Many, if not most young boys and girls will probably prefer an electric, simply because of the cool factor. Yes, it is generally agreed that they are easier to play, primarily because the strings are easier to fret. I will concede that point, but I am heavily biased toward acoustics for a kids beginner guitar, so that is what we will look at here. For me, the primary factor to consider when shopping for a child's guitar, is the size of the guitar in relation to the size of the child. For many years it was believed that teaching a child to play on, say, a half-size guitar would result in learning bad playing habits. Also, it was believed, by many, that the skills acquired would not, very successfully, carry over to a full size acoustic guitar. Those ideas, generally speaking, have been discounted, and do not apply today. This change in thinking has given birth to a large youth acoustic guitar market. It is now an accepted fact, by most, that teaching a child to play guitar on an instrument that fits that child makes for an easier and electric toy guitar learning experience. If you want your child to truly enjoy learning and stay with it, always be mindful of the guitar/child size ratio when buying a kids acoustic guitar.
Size and Learning
Though it is true that a seriously dedicated student will overcome any size issues that a full size guitar may present, there is really no reason to make learning any more difficult than is necessary. Today there are many youth acoustic guitars available for any size child. there are 1/2, 2/3 and 3/4 sizes available from name brand and not so well known brands, in just about any price range. There are left handed youth guitars and even specifically targeted guitars for girls. You can also choose between a steel string acoustic guitar or a nylon string classical style. Whatever you choose when buying a kids beginner guitar, just remember that the Quality of the instrument, just as the size, will have much to do with the child's desire to continue playing. If it sounds awful and is hard to play, chances are that he or she will be more likely to give it up. Personal fit and ease of playing are vital elements when choosing your kids acoustic guitar.

MIDLAND CITY, Ala. – The standoff between police and a gunman accused of holding a 5-year-old boy hostage in an underground bunker dragged into a fourth day on Friday, as authorities sought to continue delicate conversations with the man through a pipe and worked to safely end the tense situation.
The gunman shot a school bus driver to death Tuesday, grabbed the child off the bus and slipped into an underground bunker on his property in rural Alabama, police said. There were signs the standoff could go on for some time: the shelter has electricity, food, TV, and police have delivered the boy's medication through a ventilation pipe leading to the bunker.
Hostage negotiators have used the pipe to talk to the gunman, identified by neighbors as Jimmy Lee Dykes, but investigators have been tightlipped about their conversations.
Former FBI hostage negotiator Clint Van Zandt said authorities at the scene shouldn't rush to resolve the standoff as long as they are confident that the boy is unharmed. He cautioned against any drastic measures, such as cutting the electricity or putting sleep gas inside the bunker because it could agitate Dykes.
The negotiator should try to ease Dykes' anxieties over what will happen when the standoff ends, and refer to both the boy and Dykes by their first names to humanize them.
"I want to give him a reason to come out," Van Zandt said, "and my reason is, `You didn't mean that to happen. It was unintentional. It could have happened to anyone. It was an accident. People have accidents, Jimmy Lee. It's not that big a thing. You and I can work that out."'
The shelter was about 4 feet underground, with about 6-by-8 feet of floor space and the PVC pipe that negotiators were speaking through, said James Arrington, police chief of the neighboring town of Pinckard.
"He will have to give up sooner or later because (authorities) are not leaving," Arrington said. "It's pretty small, but he's been known to stay in there eight days."
Republican Rep. Steve Clouse, who represents the Midland City area, said he visited the boy's mother Thursday and that she is "hanging on by a thread."
Clouse said the mother told him that the boy has Asperger's syndrome, an autism-like disorder, as well as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD. Police have been delivering medication to him through the pipe, he added.
The red clay road leading to the bunker teemed Friday with more than a dozen police cars and trucks, a fire truck, a helicopter, officers from multiple agencies and news media near Midland City, population 2,300.
Police vehicles have come and gone steadily for hours from the command post, a small church taken over for that use.
Early Friday, activity picked up when a team in military-style uniforms, many toting weapons, got out of a big van in the pre-dawn chill and moved into a staging area. One appeared to be dog handler.
Dykes was known around the neighborhood as a menacing figure who neighbors said once beat a dog to death with a lead pipe, threatened to shoot children for setting foot on his property and patrolled his yard at night with a flashlight and a firearm.
The chief confirmed that Dykes held anti-government views, as described by multiple neighbors: "He's against the government -- starting with Obama on down."
No motive has been discussed by investigators, but the police chief said the FBI had evidence suggesting it could be considered a hate crime. Federal authorities have not released any details about the standoff or the investigation. The mayor said he hasn't seen anything tying together Dykes' anti-government views and the allegations against him.
Authorities said the gunman boarded a stopped school bus filled with children on Tuesday afternoon and demanded two boys between 6 and 8 years old. When the driver tried to block his way, the gunman shot him several times and took the 5-year-old boy.
The bus driver, Charles Albert Poland Jr., 66, was hailed by locals as a hero.
Dykes had been scheduled to appear in court Wednesday to answer charges he shot at his neighbors in a dispute last month over a speed bump. Neighbor Claudia Davis said he yelled and fired shots at her, her son and her baby grandson over damage Dykes claimed their pickup truck did to a makeshift speed bump in the dirt road. No one was hurt.
The son, James Davis Jr., believes Tuesday's shooting was connected to the court date. "I believe he thought I was going to be in court and he was going to get more charges than the menacing, which he deserved, and he had a bunch of stuff to hide and that's why he did it."

I bought your book last year (rather my dad got it for me) and a lot of hit was helpful. I found the tables with school data to be the most helpful. Much easier than searching individual school's websites or lsac.

Tirumalai Krishnamacharya
Tirumalai Krishnamacharya
Krishnamacharya at 100 years (1988)
|February 28, 1989 (aged 100)
|Yoga teacher
|Known for
|"Father of modern yoga"
Tirumalai Krishnamacharya (November 18, 1888 – February 28, 1989)[1][2] was an Indian yoga teacher, ayurvedic healer and scholar. Often referred to as "the father of modern yoga,"[3][4] Krishnamacharya is widely regarded as one of the most influential yoga teachers of the 20th century and is credited with the revival of hatha yoga.[5]
Krishnamacharya held degrees in all the six Vedic darśanas, or Indian philosophies. While under the patronage of the King of Mysore, Krishna Raja Wadiyar IV, Krishnamacharya traveled around India giving lectures and demonstrations to promote yoga, including such feats as stopping his heartbeat.[6] He is widely considered as the architect of vinyāsa,[5] in the sense of combining breathing with movement. Underlying all of Krishnamacharya's teachings was the principle "Teach what is appropriate for an individual."[7] While he is revered in other parts of the world as a yogi, in India Krishnamacharya is mainly known as a healer who drew from both ayurvedic and yogic traditions to restore health and well-being to those he treated.[5] He authored four books on yoga—Yoga Makaranda (1934), Yogaasanagalu (c. 1941),[8] Yoga Rahasya, and Yogavalli (Chapter 1 – 1988)—as well as several essays and poetic compositions.[9]
Krishnamacharya's students included many of yoga's most renowned teachers: Indra Devi (1899–2002), K. Pattabhi Jois (1915–2009), B. K. S. Iyengar (1918-2014), T. K. V. Desikachar (1938-2016), Srivatsa Ramaswami (born 1939), and A. G. Mohan (born 1945). Krishnamacharya was the brother-in-law of B. K. S. Iyengar, the founder of Iyengar Yoga, who credits Krishnamacharya with encouraging him to learn yoga as a young person in 1934.[10]
Early life[edit]
Krishnamacharya was born on November 18, 1888 in Muchukundapura, situated in the Chitradurga district of present-day Karnataka, in South India, to an orthodox Iyengar family. His parents were Sri Tirumalai Srinivasa Tatacharya, a well-known teacher of the Vedas, and Shrimati Ranganayakiamma.[11] Krishnamacharya was the eldest of six children. He had two brothers and three sisters. At the age of six, he underwent upanayana.[12] He then began learning to speak and write Sanskrit, from texts such as the Amarakosha and to chant the Vedas under the strict tutelage of his father.[2] Krishnamacharya's father also taught him asanas and pranayama.
When Krishnamacharya was ten, his father died,[13] and the family had to move to Mysore, the second largest city in Karnataka, where Krishnamcharya's great-grandfather H.H. Sri Srinivasa Brahmatantra Parakala Swami, was the head of the Parakala Math (there were two by that name between 1835–1873 CE[14]). In Mysore, Krishnamacharya began a more formal schooling at the Chamaraj Sanskrit College and in the Math. He made a practice of debating on the subjects of the Shastras with the professors and visiting Pandits.[12] Krishnamacharya passed his Vidvan examination in Mysore, where he had studied Vyakarana, vedanta, and tarka.
At the age of sixteen, Krishnamacharya had a strange dream in which his ancestor, the legendary yogi and Sri Vaishnava saint Nathamuni directed him to go to the town of Alvar Tirunagari, in the neighboring state of Tamil Nadu. Krishnamacharya obeyed the dream and traveled there. As Krishnamacharya later told, when he arrived at his destination, he fell into a trance and found himself in the presence of three sages. He requested the sages to instruct him in the Yoga Rahasya, a long-lost yogic treatise by Nathamuni. One of the sages, whom he later identified as Nathamuni himself, began reciting the text. When Krishnamacharya later awoke from the trance, he could recall all the verses of this legendary treatise.
Scholastic education[edit]
Krishnamacharya spent much of his youth traveling through India studying the six darśana or Indian philosophies: vaiśeṣika, nyāya, sāṃkhya, yoga, mīmāṃsā and vedānta.[15] In 1906, at the age of eighteen, Krishnamacharya left Mysore to attend the university at Benares, also known as Vārānasī, a city of hundreds of temples and a highly regarded North Indian center of traditional learning.[16] While at the university, he focused his studies on logic and Sanskrit, working with Brahmashri Shivakumar Shastry, "one of the greatest grammarians of the age".[17] He also learned the Mimamsa from Brahmasri Trilinga Rama Shastri.[2] Krishnamacharya learned tarka from Vamacarana Bhattacharya. He also forged a strong friendship with the head of Kāśi Sanskrit Vidyā Pīṭha, Mahāmahopādhyāya Gaṅgānāth Jhā.
After leaving Benares, in 1909, Krishnamacharya returned to Mysore and studied vedānta with the new pontiff of Parakāla Math, H. H. Sri Krishna Brahmatantra. During this period Krishnamacharya learned to play the vīṇā, one of the ancient stringed instruments in India. Besides Math, Krishnamacharya also studied at the University of Mysore.
In 1914, Krishnamacharya once again left for Benares to attend classes at Queens College, where he eventually earned a number of teaching certificates. During the first year he had little or no financial support from his family. In order to eat, he followed the rules that were laid down for religious beggars: he was to approach only seven households each day and was to offer a prayer "in return for wheat flour to mix with water for cakes".[18] Krishnamacharya eventually left Queens College to study the ṣaḍdarśana (six darshanas) in Vedic philosophy at Patna University, in Bihar, a state in eastern India. He also received a scholarship to study Ayurveda under Vaidya Krishnakumar of Bengal.[2]
Krishnamacharya was invited to the coronation of the Rajah of Dikkanghat (a principality within Darbhanga), at which he defeated a scholar called Bihari Lal in a debate, and received rewards and honors from the Raja.[19] His stay in Benares lasted 11 years.
Education in yoga[edit]
During all this time Krishnamacharya continued to practice the yoga that his father had taught him as a young boy. Krishnamacharya also studied with the yoga master Sri Babu Bhagavan Das and passed the Samkhya Yoga Examination of Patna.[2] Many of Krishnamacharya's instructors recognized his outstanding abilities in the study and practice of yoga and supported his progress. Some asked that he teach their children.[20]
During his vacations, which would last about three months, Krishnamacharya made pilgrimages into the Himalayas.[20] At the suggestion of Gaṅgānāth Jhā, Krishnamacharya sought to further his yoga studies by seeking a master named Yogeshwara Ramamohana Brahmachari, who was rumored to live in the mountains beyond Nepal. For this venture, Krishnamacharya had to obtain the permission of the Viceroy in Simla, Lord Irwin, who was then suffering from diabetes.[20] At the request of the Viceroy, Krishnamacharya travelled to Simla and taught him yogic practices for six months. The viceroy's health improved and he developed respect and affection for Krishnamacharya.[21] In 1919, the Viceroy made arrangements for Krishnamacharya's travel to Tibet, supplying three aides and taking care of the expenses.
After two and a half months of walking, Krishnamacharya arrived at Sri Brahmachari's school, a remote cave at the foot of Mount Kailash, where the master lived with his wife and three children.[5] Under Brahmachari's tutelage, Krishnamacharya spent seven and a half years[22] studying the Yoga Sūtras of Patañjali, learning āsanas and prāṇāyāma, and studying the therapeutic aspects of yoga".[5] He was made to memorize the whole of the Yoga Kuruntha in the Gurkha language. As tradition holds, at the end of his studies with the guru, Krishnamacharya asked what his payment would be. The master responded that Krishnamacharya was to "take a wife, raise children and be a teacher of Yoga".[23]
Krishnamacharya then returned to Vārāṇasī. The Mahārāja of Jaipur called him to serve as principal of the Vidyā Śālā in Jaipur; but as he did not like being answerable to many people, Krishnamacharya shortly returned to Vārāṇasī. In accordance with his guru's wish that he live the life of a householder, Krishnamacharya married Namagiriamma in 1925. After his marriage, Krishnamacharya was forced by circumstance to work in a coffee plantation in the Hasan district. It was after a lecture on the Upaniṣads in Mysore town hall in 1931 that he attracted the attention as a learned scholar that eventually led to his employment at the palace.[24] Impressed with Krishnamacharya's knowledge as a scholar and his mastery of yoga, Amarnātha Jhā, the son of Gaṅgānāth Jhā, introduced Krishnamacharya to various monarchs, and he was widely honoured by them.
Mysore years[edit]
In 1926, the Maharaja of Mysore, Krishna Raja Wadiyar IV (1884–1940) was in Varanasi to celebrate the 60th birthday of his mother and heard about Krishnamacharya's learning and skill as a yoga therapist.[25] The Maharaja met Krishnamacharya and was so impressed by the young man's demeanor, authority, and scholarship that he engaged Krishnamacharya to teach him and his family.[25] Initially, Krishnamacharya was installed to teach yoga at the Mysore Palace.[26] He soon became a trusted advisor of the Maharajah, and was given the recognition of Asthana Vidwan — the intelligentsia of the palace.[27]
During the 1920s, Krishnamacharya held many demonstrations to stimulate popular interest in yoga. These included suspending his pulse, stopping cars with his bare hands, performing difficult asanas, and lifting heavy objects with his teeth.[5] The Palace archive records show that the Maharaja was interested in the promotion of yoga and continually sent Krishnamacharya around the country to give lectures and demonstrations.[28]
In 1931, Krishnamacharya was invited to teach at the Sanskrit College in Mysore. The Maharaja, who felt that yoga had helped cure his many ailments, asked Krishnamacharya to open a yoga school under his patronage[5][29] and was subsequently given the wing of a nearby palace, the Jaganmohan Palace, to start the Yogashala, an independent yoga institution,[26] which opened on August 11, 1933.[25][30]
In 1934, Krishnamacharya authored the book titled Yoga Makaranda, which was published by Mysore University. In the introduction to Yoga Makaranda, Krishnamacharya lists Sritattvanidhi, a 19th-century treatise containing a yoga section by Maharaja of Mysore, Krishnaraja Wodeyar III (1794–1868) as one of the sources for his book. In The Yoga Tradition of the Mysore Palace, Norman Sjoman asserts that Krishnamacharya was influenced by the Sritattvanidhi and also the Vyayama Dipika, a Western-based gymnastics manual written by the Mysore Palace gymnasts.[31]
In 1940, Krishna Raja Wadiyar IV died and his nephew and successor, Jayachamarajendra Wadiyar (1919–1974), showed less interest in yoga and no longer provided support for publishing texts and sending teams of teachers to surrounding areas.[32] Following political changes in 1946, around the time that India gained independence, the powers of the maharajas were curtailed, a new government came into being. Funding for the yoga school was cut off[33] and Krishnamacharya struggled to maintain the school. At the age of 60 (1948), Krishnamacharya was forced to travel extensively to find students and provide for his family.[33] The yogashala in Mysore was ordered to be closed by K.C. Reddy, the first Chief Minister of Mysore State, and the school eventually closed in 1950.[5]
Madras years[edit]
After leaving Mysore, Krishnamacharya moved to Bangalore for a couple of years[34] and then was invited in 1952 to relocate to Madras, by a well-known lawyer who sought Krishnamacharya's help in healing from a stroke. By now, Krishnamacharya was in his sixties, and his reputation for being a strict and intimidating teacher had mellowed somewhat.
In Madras, Krishnamacharya accepted a job as a lecturer at Vivekananda College. He also began to acquire yoga students from diverse backgrounds and in various physical conditions, which required him to adapt his teaching to each student's abilities. For the remainder of his teaching life, Krishnamacharya continued to refine this individualized approach, which came to be known as Viniyoga.[5][35] Many considered Krishnamacharya a yoga master, but he continued to call himself a student because he felt that he was always "studying, exploring and experimenting" with the practice.[36] Throughout his life, Krishnamacharya refused to take credit for his innovative teachings but instead attributed the knowledge to his guru or to ancient texts.[5]
At the age of 96, Krishnamacharya fractured his hip. Refusing surgery, he treated himself and designed a course of practice that he could do in bed. Krishnamacharya lived and taught in Chennai until he slipped into a coma and died in 1989, at one hundred years of age. His cognitive faculties remained sharp until his death; and he continued to teach and heal whenever the situation arose.
Although his knowledge and teaching has influenced yoga throughout the world, Krishnamacharya never left his native India. Yoga Journal said that:
You may never have heard of him but Tirumalai Krishnamacharya influenced or perhaps even invented your yoga. Whether you practice the dynamic series of Pattabhi Jois, the refined alignments of B. K. S. Iyengar, the classical postures of Indra Devi, or the customized vinyasa of Viniyoga, your practice stems from one source: a five-foot, two-inch Brahmin born more than one hundred years ago in a small South Indian village.[5]
By developing and refining different approaches, Krishnamacharya made yoga accessible to millions around the world.[5]
Approach to healing[edit]
Krishnamacharya was not only a yoga instructor but also a physician of Ayurvedic medicine. He "possessed enormous knowledge of nutrition, herbal medicine, the use of oils, and other remedies".[37] Krishnamacharya's custom as an Ayurvedic practitioner was to begin by conducting a detailed examination to determine the most efficient path to take for a patient. For example, he would take the patient's pulse, examine the color of the skin, and listen to the quality of the breath. During the time of diagnosis, Krishnamacharya would look for what "upset or hindered the harmonious union of the body, mind, and spirit."[38] According to Krishnamacharya, even though the source or focus of a disease is in a particular area of the body, he assumed that many other systems in the body, both mental and physical, would also be affected. At some point during or after an initial examination, Krishnamacharya would ask if the patient was willing to follow his guidance. This question was important to a patient's treatment, because Krishnamacharya felt that if the person could not trust him fully there was little chance of his or her being healed.[39]
Once a person began seeing Krishnamacharya, he would work with him or her on a number of levels including adjusting their diet; creating herbal medicines; and setting up a series of yoga postures that would be most beneficial. When instructing a person on the practice of yoga, Krishnamacharya particularly stressed the importance of combining breath work (pranayama) with the postures (asanas) of yoga and meditation (dhyana) to reach the desired goal.[40] He would continue to see the person approximately once a week to monitor the progress until he or she was healed.
Approach to yoga[edit]
Krishnamacharya "believed Yoga to be India's greatest gift to the world."[41] His yoga instruction reflected his conviction that yoga could be both a spiritual practice and a mode of physical healing.[42] Krishnamacharya based his teachings on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and the Yoga Yajnavalkya. Whereas Krishnamacharya was deeply devoted to Vaishnavism, he also respected his students' varying religious beliefs, or nonbeliefs.[43] A former student recalls that while leading a meditation, Krishnamacharya instructed students to close their eyes and "think of God. If not God, the sun. If not the sun, your parents."[5] As a result of the teachings he received from his father and other instructors, Krishnamacharya approached every student as "absolutely unique,"[44] in the belief that the most important aspect of teaching yoga was that the student be "taught according to his or her individual capacity at any given time".[45] For Krishnamacharya, this meant that the path of yoga would mean different things for different people and that each person should be taught in a manner that he or she understand clearly.[46]
Accomplishment as a scholar[edit]
Krishnamacharya was highly regarded as a scholar. He earned degrees in philosophy, logic, divinity, philology, and music.[5][47] He was twice offered the position of Acharya in the Srivaishnava sampradaya, but he declined in order to stay with his family, in accordance with his guru's wishes.[5]
He also had extensive knowledge of orthodox Hindu rituals. His scholarship in various darshanas of orthodox Indian philosophy earned him titles such as Sāṃkhya-yoga-śikhāmaṇi, Mīmāṃsā-ratna, Mīmāṃsā-thīrtha, Nyāyācārya, Vedāntavāgīśa, Veda-kesari and Yogācārya.[48]

ALBANY, GA (WALB) - There are allegations of voter fraud, as a Dougherty County family claims the vote of a mentally challenged relative was stolen.
They say the adult day rehab program where Jack Justice attends took him to vote, without the family's permission. What's worse is Justice says the person helping him wouldn't cast the ballot for his choice for President.
Jack Justice has been voting since he turned 18. Typically his family takes him to their neighborhood precinct. This time Primus Industries, his adult day rehab program, took him to vote. His family was shocked, but what shocked them more was that Jack claims that his aide commandeered his vote.
"They told me to vote for Obama, I said no I wanted to vote for McCain," said Jack Justice, a voter.

There's been like 10 stories on this board about Rebel Yell supposedly not being able to get his vote cast...
Is this an Onion story? If this is a real story I'm shocked but it just seems kind of weird, I dunno. If they really did that to the man that company should face charges, it's pretty disgusting behavior."Don't vote. It only encourages the bastards." -PJ O'Roarke
My grandma died last fall, and I really hope the county clerk up there made note of it, so they don't continue to send grandpa her absentee ballot. He's been casting her vote since 2000, because she couldn't figure out how to work the absentee ballot. In 2000, he cast her vote how he wanted her to vote, not for the candidate she chose (Gore). He did the same in 2004, but she really at that point wasn't competent to decide, and he should have sent the ballot back.
It didn't affect the outcome in either election in Michigan.

ALBANY, GA (WALB) - Two state agencies made a trip to Albany over the weekend to determine whether a mentally challenged Albany man's presidential vote was cast illegally.
The Secretary of State's office of Inspector General and the Department of Human Resources sent representatives to Albany after learning someone at Primus Industries, Jack Justice's adult day rehab program, took him to vote without his family's permission.
Saturday, both agencies met with Jack Justice and his sister separately for about an hour. They questioned Jack about his voting experience.
"They wrote down McCain and Obama on a piece of paper and had him pick who McCain was, and he got it right. Then they did it again, switching the names around, and he got it right again so they said yeah, he knows the names when he sees it," said Nancy Justice, Jack's sister.
Jack Justice also explained to officials that the counselor from Primus Industries pushed the buttons for him and three other clients who were with him. Neither agency would comment on the ongoing investigation.

Magic Mile Power Rankings: Darlington
Darlington Raceway certainly wasn't too tough for Kevin Harvick to tame on Saturday night, as the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series veteran became the first driver to win two races this season. The No. 4 Budweiser Chevy was dominant , leading 238 of 374 laps en route to a dramatic finish that saw Harvick overcome Dale Earnhardt Jr. under a green-white-checkered finish.
Here's a look at the MMPR heading into Race 9 at Richmond International Raceway on Saturday, April 26:
1. Jeff Gordon - Mr. Consistency does it again. Gordon not only finished seventh at Darlington on Saturday night, but he added eight more laps led, giving him 1,744 in 34 starts at the "Lady in Black."
Previous ranking: First, --
2. Matt Kenseth - He already had two wins at this point last year, but Kenseth is actually off to a better start in 2014 (7.75 average finish) than in 2013 (14.25).
Previous ranking: Second, --
3. Kyle Larson - That's back-to-back top-10s for the rookie, who now has four top-10s in his last five starts. Kid is the real deal.
Previous ranking: Sixth, +3
4. Kyle Busch - The M&M's Toyota was never really a factor on Saturday night at Darlington, but when all was said and done there was the 18, crossing the finish line in sixth. A quiet, yet strong run for Rowdy.
Previous ranking: Fifth, +1
5. Dale Earnhardt Jr. - Had it not been for the last green-white-checkered finish, it likely would have been Junior earning his second win of the season instead of Happy Harvick.
Previous ranking: Seventh, +2
6. Jimmie Johnson - A three-time winner at the "Too Tough To Tame" track, Six-Time was there at the end, but once again didn't have enough to hold on for the win. Is it possible JJ won't win this year? Not likely.
Previous ranking: Ninth, +3
7. Carl Edwards - Three straight finishes outside of the top-10. And while they were respectable finishes (13th, 14th and 13th), one has to wonder if that win at Bristol is going to be a lot more important that it once seemed.
Previous ranking: Fourth, -3
8. Joey Logano - Tough to get too hung up on a 35th given how strong he's been all season. But it is his second finish outside the top 30 in the last four races.
Previous ranking: Third, -5
9. Kevin Harvick - The smart money would have been on any of the previous seven winners to get their second win of the season - other than Harvick, who prior to Darlington had finishes of 41st, 39th, 36th, seventh and 42nd since his win at Phoenix.
Previous ranking: NR
10. Tony Stewart - Smoke has been quietly consistent over the last five races. His ninth at Darlington was his fourth top-10 during that stretch.
Previous ranking: NR
Wave Around: Greg Biffle - Make it back-to-back top-10s for The Biff.
Out of MMPR: Brad Keselowski, Clint Bowyer.
Previous MMPR No. 1s
Week 1 - Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Week 2 - Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Week 3 - Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Week 4 - Brad Keselowski
Week 5 - Carl Edwards
Week 6 - Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Week 7 - Jeff Gordon
*This list is comprised of drivers that compete in the Sprint Cup Series on full-time basis.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Three runners from the MIT men's and women's cross country teams were recently honored with All-Academic accolades from the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA). Seniors Daniel Harper (Naperville, Ill.) and Stephen Serene (Washington, D.C.) were recognized on the men's side while sophomore Martina de Geus (Los Altos, Calif.) was the lone honoree from the women's team.
In addition to the individual recognition, both the men's and women's squads were tabbed as All-Academic by the USTFCCCA for their collective success both on the cross country trails and in the classroom.
To qualify for the USTFCCCA All-Academic Track and Field Team, the student-athlete must have compiled a cumulative grade point average of 3.30 or greater through the most-recent semester and placed in the top 35 at the NCAA Regional Championships. To qualify as a USTFCCCA All-Academic Cross Country Team, the team must have had a cumulative team GPA of 3.10 or better.
Harper was the top Tech finisher at the New England Division III championship last fall, placing 12th overall. Harper went on to compete at the national championship, finishing in 64th place. Serene was 15th at the regional championship as MIT took sixth as a team.
de Geus was 32nd in the women's New England Division III meet, earning all-region accolades for the second straight year.
The USTFCCCA recognized 141 men and 183 women as All-Academic recipients for the 2011 season.

Ligue 1: Guingamp 1 PSG 1
Alex scored a late equaliser as Ligue 1 leaders Paris Saint-Germain rescued a 1-1 draw against Guingamp on Saturday.
Laurent Blanc's men went into the game at Stade du Roudourou knowing a win would put them eight points clear of second-placed Monaco ahead of their clash with Marseille on Sunday.
Instead the visitors were frustrated by an industrious and organised Guingamp side, who claimed a fourth draw in their last six top-flight games.
Legitimate goalscoring opportunities proved few and far between throughout the contest, although Edinson Cavani did have a goal disallowed early in the second half for offside.
Yet it was Guingamp who went in front inside the final 10 minutes as Mustapha Yatabare scored his sixth league goal of the campaign.
However, Jocelyn Gourvennec's men were denied a famous victory, Alex levelling matters to extend PSG's lead at the summit to six points.
Brazilian Marquinhos replaced injured compatriot Thiago Silva in the centre of the PSG defence, while Guingamp made four changes to the side that lost 2-0 to local rivals Lorient last weekend.
Both sides went close with efforts from distance in the early going, Yatabare shooting wide for the hosts before Zlatan Ibrahimovic curled narrowly over the bar for PSG.
The champions controlled play for the majority of the first half, but struggled to create chances against a resolute Guingamp defence.
Indeed, Blanc's men were reduced to shots from distance, Ibrahimovic forcing a smart save Guy N'dy Assembe with a 30-yard drive.
And PSG were fortunate not to fall behind on the stroke of half-time, as Salvatore Sirigu turned Rachid Alioui's swerving free-kick on to the underside of the crossbar with his foot.
Guingamp made a confident approach to the second half and spurned another chance to go ahead when Yatabare headed wide from Alioui's pinpoint left-wing cross.
The hosts' resistance looked to have been broken after 51 minutes, Edinson Cavani latching on to Thiago Motta's throughballl to slot home, only to be denied by the linesman's flag.
Guingamp continued to defend with relative comfort, and Blanc soon shuffled his pack in an attempt to find a winner, Lucas Moura replacing Javier Pastore after 70 minutes.
But it was Guingamp who finally broke the deadlock seven minutes from time as Yatabare scored the goal that Gourvennec's men's efforts merited.
The Mali international rose highest to power Alioui's corner into the top corner leaving Sirigu.
Guingamp's lead lasted just three minutes, though, as Alex restored parity with a fine header from x's corner to spare PSG's blushes and make it six Ligue 1 games without defeat for the champions.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Dec. 10, 2009) - Junior guard Micah Williams (Manchester) scored a career high 22 points and posted his first career double-double thanks to a 10-rebound effort, but more importantly it was his rebound and put back with six seconds left that sealed ETSU's unexpectedly tough 75-71 win over North Georgia Thursday night inside Brooks Gym.
Playing in front of a sellout crowd of 2,972 fans as part of a special "Back to Brooks" game, the Buccaneers wore special retro uniforms based after the 1968 squad. However, there was nothing special about the performance, as the Division II Saints overcame a 67-53 deficit in the final 2:56 to make it a two-point game at 73-71 with just 10 seconds left.
Williams was fouled and went to the line at that point, but missed both foul shots. However, even though ETSU had no players on the lane, Williams managed to weave his way through the Saints to grab the rebound and score a layup as time ran down.
"Micah's play at the end was just huge � huge," said ETSU head coach Murry Bartow, whose team improved to 5-5 on the year and must now move its attention to a 4 p.m. meeting with Ohio Valley Conference favorite Murray State on Saturday. "We were obviously very fortunate to win this game. When it was a 14-point game we felt good about the position we were in, but we didn't handle the last two minutes well at all. We haven't played well the last two games and that concerns me."
Along with Williams' double-double, junior forward Tommy Hubbard (Boston) posted his sixth double-double of the year with 14 points and 11 rebounds, and junior guard Justin Tubbs (Trussville, Ala.) pitched in 16 in the winning effort. For North Georgia, Bernard Rimmer and Carl Taylor both had a team-high 15 points, while Andrew Bennett scored 14 and Pat Moynihan added 10.
The Saints stayed in it throughout and led for much of the first half, even holding an advantage of as many as seven points at 27-20 with 6:18 left before the intermission. Yet the Bucs rallied with a 8-2 offensive run in the final minutes of the half to lead 33-31 at the break.
North Georgia again stayed close in the second half until Taylor left the game with a mouth injury. ETSU took advantage of his absence to build their lead to 14. However, the Saints fullcourt pressure led to multiple ETSU turnovers and easy baskets, and despite a technical foul call on North Georgia's Keldrick Coleman that helped the Bucs go up 72-63 with 52 seconds, North Georgia still battled back to make it 73-71 thanks to a pair of and-one baskets by Tyler Norman and Coleman.
The Bucs committed 21 turnovers on the night and only won the rebound battle, 38-35. Meanwhile, North Georgia shot 42 percent from the field and 37 percent from beyond the arc. ETSU hit on only 20 percent from 3-point range, while the Saints outscored the Bucs 34-32 in the paint.
ETSU will now turn its attention to Murray State at 4 p.m. on Saturday, back in the comfortable confines of Memorial Center. For more on ETSU men's basketball throughout the season, visit ETSUBucs.com and click on the men's basketball link.

The Centre for Environment Education offers the side event 'Handprint for Biodiversity' the CEPA Fair on 10 October from 10 am to 1 pm.
By Purvi Vas, CEE Programme Officer
Handprint for Biodiversity – Positive action towards biodiversity conservation
Handprint is the symbol of, measure for, and commitment to positive action towards sustainability. Handprint also stands for caring, and working together towards a sustainable future. While the Footprint is a measure of human pressure on earth's resources, the Handprint is a measure of what we can do individually, and together, to restore the balance between consumption and the planet's carrying capacity.
Handprint stands for:
- Positive & tangible action and projects towards sustainability, an integral part of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD).
- A tool to calculate the extent of ESD action being taken and the positive impact of our actions on Sustainable Development.
- A symbol of commitment through a pledge to act.
- A caring attitude. Extending a helping hand in caring for the planet and all life on it.
- Networking and collaboration. Joining hands for the common goal of sustainability on Earth—the only known living planet.
The Handprint side event is an opportunity to share this concept and its use in different contexts. This is planned in the group discussion format. Each group will discuss one of the five strands of the Handprint, and arrive at a list of Handprint ideas for biodiversity conservation. The discussions will be consolidated through a plenary presentation. The outcomes from this discussion would serve as an input into the International Conference on Biodiversity Conservation and Education for Sustainable Development which is being organized by CEE on October 13-14 alongside the COP 11. Please visit this link for more details about this and other events.
We invite you to participate in the Handprint side event. Please do share this invitation with participants to your side events and exhibition.
Date: October 10, 2012
Time: 10:00 to 13:00 hours
Venue: HICC ground floor, CEPA Fair
We look forward to having you with us.
Please confirm participation by sending an email to firstname.lastname@example.com (Ms. Purvi Vyas) by 4 October 2012.

TAMPA — If Josh Freeman isn't Tampa Bay's long-term solution at quarterback, the Buccaneers are hoping they've found an alternative.
The team selected North Carolina State's Mike Glennon in the third round of the NFL draft Friday night, saying he was too good a fit for their offense to ignore even though Freeman became the franchise's first 4,000-yard passer while also setting a club record by throwing for 27 touchdowns last season.
General manager Mark Dominik and coach Greg Schiano reiterated Freeman is the starter, while also noting Glennon was highly productive in college has the size — 6-foot-6, 220 pounds — and arm strength they like in a quarterback.
"If something happens to Josh Freeman, we want to be able to keep the season rolling," Dominik said.
With Freeman entering the final year of the contract he signed as the 17th pick of the 2009 draft, the Bucs eventually will have to make a decision on whether to give him a new deal. The 25-year-old led the team to 10 wins and narrowly missed the playoffs in his second full season as a starter in 2010, however his career has been marked by inconsistency.
Schiano has said he'd like to increase competition at every position on the team, including quarterback. Veteran Dan Orlovsky currently in Freeman's backup, and the hope is Glennon will be able to learn the system and develop without having the pressure that comes with being a high draft pick expected to come in and start right away.
Glennon, who played behind Russell Wilson for three years at North Carolina State, completed over 58 percent of his passes for 4,031 yards, 31 touchdowns and 17 interceptions for the Wolfpack as a senior. He was the third quarterback selected in the draft behind first-rounder E.J. Manuel and second-rounder Geno Smith.
"It comes as somewhat of a surprise, but I'm excited to go down there and play football," Glennon said, adding he hadn't had much contact with Tampa Bay since the NFL combine.
Schiano recruited Glennon coming out of high school when the coach was at Rutgers and the quarterback was the state of Virginia's player of the year, so they've been familiar with each other for years.
Wilson, who transferred to Wisconsin, led the Seattle Seahawks to the playoffs as a rookie in 2012. Glennon plans to speak with him about what Wilson did to make a successful transition to the NFL.
"I think there's a lot of talent in this class," Glennon said of this year's crop of quarterback prospects, which was not highly rated by draft experts. "Hopefully, 10 years from now, we'll look back said say this class was a little under-rated."
The selection of Glennon with the 73rd overall pick came after the Bucs used their second-round pick to seek more help on defense.
When Johnthan Banks learned Tampa Bay had acquired the top cornerback in football in the days leading up to the draft, he figured there was no way he'd wind up being selected by the Bucs.
Much to the former Mississippi State star's delight, he's going to get a chance to learn from Darrell Revis as part of the Bucs' effort to rebuild the worst pass defense in the league.
"It's a dream come true," 2012 Jim Thorpe Award winner said by telephone after becoming the 11th pick of the second round, No. 43 overall. "I can't wait to get there."
The Bucs did not have a pick in Thursday's opening round after trading the 13th overall pick to the New York Jets in exchange for Revis, a three-time All-Pro who's the centerpiece of what Dominik and Schiano are doing to shore up a secondary that came within 38 yards of setting a NFL record for passing yards allowed last season.
In addition to obtaining Revis and drafting Banks, who had 16 career interceptions in college, the Bucs added All-Pro safety Dashon Goldson to their defensive backfield through free agency in March.
"We've improved our size, physicality and ball skills," Dominik said of the collective moves this offseason.
The 6-foot-2, 185-pound Banks was a captain at Mississippi State, where he tied the school record for interceptions and routinely was assigned to cover opponents' No. 1 receiver.
"He was the guy who made their defense go, period," Schiano said. "He's a strong, rangy guy. ... We're happy to have him."
Despite not having a first-round pick for the first time in 10 years, Dominik entered Friday night feeling the Bucs had done more to help the team by acquiring Revis than they could ever have hoped to by holding onto the 13th pick of the first round and using it try to upgrade a defense that contributed to a late-season collapse in 2012.
The Bucs lost five of six down the stretch to finish 7-9.
Revis is a proven star who's generally regarded as the game's best player at his position. The Bucs signed him to a new six-year, $96 million contract and are counting on the seventh-year pro to be a mentor for Banks, who despite winning the Thorpe Award as the nation's top defensive back wasn't the first player from his college secondary selected in the draft.
Mississippi State cornerback Darius Slay was taken earlier in the second round, No. 36 overall, by the Detroit Lions.
But Banks wasn't complaining.
Tampa Bay had been one of his preferred destinations since spending time with members of coaching staff and scouting departments at the Senior Bowl in January.
"It's a blessing I got drafted. There are a lot of kids still sitting home waiting and hoping to be picked," the 23-year-old native of Maben, Miss., said.
"God works in mysterious ways. ... Revis is the best and I get a chance to play next to him. I'm going to try to learn everything I can from him," Banks added. "I play with passion. I give it everything I've got. ... That's what I'm coming there to do."
Bucs add depth at quarterback, corner
TAMPA — If Josh Freeman isn't Tampa Bay's long-term solution at quarterback, the Buccaneers are hoping they've found an alternative.
