It will be offered to a group of 22 students due to the strict admission criteria. <br /> <br />News worthyness : 2 <br />Rationale : How can a policy change which affects the lives of 22 students, be taking up a half a page of the newspaper? <br />A look ahead : Does this signify a realisation that law graduates have over-saturated the market and if nothing is to be done, there will be law graduates on the street selling newspapers? Is this a late attempt to broaden the economic marketability of law graduates? <br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8519953-110740676875829434?l=stillwater2.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Juvenile_kinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06456609925215264329noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519953.post-1107081365922088912005-01-30T02:16:00.000-08:002005-01-30T02:36:05.923-08:00<strong>Page 31, Rule No. 1 : Don't call your boss a liar, even if he's one</strong> <br /><strong>Synopsis - Craig Bellamy who called his manager of Newcastle (a British premier league football club) a liar, was dismissed from playing and is speculated to be sold soon to some other club. According to Hughes, Bellamy has a history of uncontrolled behaviour on the field, and implied that his weekly wages of about GBP40,000 per week is unjustifiable by his behaviour.</strong> <br /><strong></strong> <br /><strong>Journalist - Rob Hughes</strong> <br /><strong>Age : Looks like 50</strong> <br /><strong>Specialization : Football commentary</strong> <br /><strong>Frequency : Weekly or more frequent</strong> <br /><strong></strong> <br /><strong>Mr. Hughes is a man with a wisdom and a mission. His wisdom allows him to analyze football related stories. His mission, it seems with all his comments so far is to tell "the behind stories of professional footballers." So far, he has spoken very often on how ill-disciplined, overly paid professional footballers are spoiling the game.</strong> <br /><strong></strong> <br /><strong>Professional footballers are paid to play football. Because football is a globally followed and most popular game, Mr. Hughes seems to think that footballers have higher standards to set - for the rest of us. Mr Hughes has also rant frequently about their disproportionate wages, with the rest of us.</strong> <br /><strong></strong> <br /><strong>Worthiness index : 9, if Mr. Hughes also includes the higher standards that should be set by other groups of the population like politicians, businessman, teachers, doctors, farmers......etc.... and journalists who can delve on more serious issues, not only on how individuals should behave.</strong> <br /><strong></strong> <br /><strong>Freedom Fighter index : 10, the intensity of Mr. Hughes weekly rants more than enough to put it in the same category of Nelson Mandela, however he can choose issues more relevant than how footballers should behave.</strong> <br /><strong></strong> <br /><strong></strong> <br /><strong></strong> <br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8519953-110708136592208891?l=stillwater2.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Juvenile_kinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06456609925215264329noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519953.post-1106468023165110422005-01-23T01:04:00.000-08:002005-01-23T00:13:43.166-08:00<span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"><strong>Macau police shoot man attempting to rob couple outside casino</strong></span> <br /><strong><span style="font-size:85%;">Worthyness Index - 0</span></strong> <br /><strong><span style="font-size:85%;">Scoop - Countless shooting happens each day around the world.
