Like you said, he can rebound but other than that, his defense needs improvement, especially with a coach like Thibs who demands it if you want more minutes. Though that doesn't mean it hasn't improved so far.

Me too, and that's why I'm in grad school.

And on top of that, Thibs really knows how to get the most out of these guys. There are so many good combinations he has been using.

And no thesis? Man, that was fun.

Just for a couple of surveys and I think one upper level course had an essay exam. But the majority used essay assignments based off of primary research or secondary sources.

Not only that but they don't get Gasol or Mirotic, who has been killer off the bench. I wanted Melo but I was wrong about that. This should have been plan A instead of B.

I like the research and writing the most. Exams? I never really had any for history courses.

A lot of people like to wear the swag and join the party in April. But trust me, I don't care all year around.

Jimmy talked about how he watched tape of Jordan and Kobe during the offseason to get a better understanding of how a guy his size should position himself to score. He's been amazing on both ends and the minutes he is logging...wow.

Even though I would like to care, I simply can't force myself to like hockey. But I begrudge no one for enjoying that spectacular team.

I read an article over at io9 about how dogs understand human speech (including body language and tone) more than we used to believe.

Shit, I'm a TA in grad school and I just want to yell at the kids who don't show up that they are paying thousands of dollars to be idiots.

I like the rule but it depends on the type of book. If I'm reading a weighty monograph I have to give it more than 50 because method explanation can take up a lot of pages early.

Ha, I probably can't claim it to be my formal profession neither due to a lack of employment in said field.

Ah, a fellow teacher.

I dunno dude. It was -12 this morning where I'm at. Can you do worse?

Christ, at least the Bulls are delivering for me after the worst Bears season in recent memory. Good luck out there in Cleveland, man.

Cavs fans shouldn't break any windows tonight over his performance either.

I think Blatt might be an idiot. We will see if he can corral his team together but I dunno.

World Cafe is especially useful.
