NEW YORK (AP) — Second-seeded Victoria Azarenka reached her sixth semifinal in the past eight Grand Slam tournaments by beating 48th-ranked Daniela Hantuchova 6-2, 6-3 at the U.S. Open on Wednesday.
Azarenka is a two-time Australian Open champion and was the runner-up to Serena Williams at the U.S. Open last year.
Azarenka is only 24, but already was in her 11th career major quarterfinal against Hantuchova — and she's won her past seven in a row.
Azarenka will face Flavia Pennetta, a 6-4, 6-1 winner over fellow Italian player Roberta Vinci.

Let's get straight to some of this week's Junkyard Mail …
Mike Darnell writes: Bill, I was at the [South Carolina] game and was relieved by the outcome. At halftime, I was texting some friends to lament my belief that Georgia's problem is the defense coordinated by Todd Grantham. I decided to do some research and came up with the following: In Grantham's 4 seasons, and including only SEC, Georgia Tech and bowl games, the scoring average against Georgia is 24.3 points/game. Compare this to Willie Martinez's last 4 seasons at 21.5 points; Van Gorder's 4 seasons at 17.8 points and Bill Lewis's last 4 seasons at 17.6 points. I then compared these same 4 defensive coordinators average points/game/loss over those same 4 years. They are: Grantham at 33.2 points/loss; Martinez at 32 points/loss; Van Gorder at 21 points/loss; and Bill Lewis at 22.5 points/loss. My point is that our offense must score an ungodly amount of points in order to win, and especially the big games. I'm tired of hearing about how poorly Mark Richt and Mike Bobo are doing. Grantham needs to step it up.
Also concerned about the defense is Jack Turner, who writes: Bill, I know that despite our up and down offensive line we have one of the SEC's and nation's best offenses thanks to Aaron Murray, Todd Gurley, Keith Marshall, Justin Scott-Wesley and the rest. It's a good thing, too, because don't we have just about the worst defense in SEC? What do you think, can the Dogs continue to be successful having to outscore opponents in shootouts, or will we see some improvement on defense?
Mike, I'm not sure there's any value in looking at defensive stats from the Bill Lewis days (different era with different offenses, different coaching staff), but the comparison with Willie Martinez's numbers is fair. However, despite that I'm not sure you'd find many UGA fans willing to swap Todd Grantham for Martinez. Still, Grantham is one of the higher paid defensive coordinators and this season presents a great opportunity for him to show he's worth the big bucks. I'm hopeful that once Georgia's young defensive starters get some more experience, things will improve markedly. As for Jack's question, yes, Georgia statistically is the conference's worst defense after two games, ranking last in scoring defense, allowing an average 34 points per game; next to last in rushing defense, allowing 211.5 yards per game; 12th in pass defense, allowing 249.0 yards per game; and last in total defense, allowing 460.5 yards per game. I think we should keep in mind, though, that the Dogs are also the only SEC defense that has had to face two Top 10 teams in those first couple of games, and in the first one they weren't at full-strength in addition to having to start a lot of inexperienced players. Yes, the secondary has looked pretty shaky, especially freshman Brendan Langley against South Carolina, but I think their lack of experience has been exacerbated the lack of success the defensive front has had getting to opponents' quarterbacks, in addition to allowing way too many rushing yards. I realize run defense is not Grantham's strong suit, but rushing the passer is supposed to be, and so far that's been a disappointment. On the positive side, linebackers Amarlo Herrera (24 tackles) and Ramik Wilson (22 tackles) lead the conference, and that's with Wilson not having played that well against the Gamecocks. Yes, Langley got burned on a couple of touchdowns by the Gamecocks, but on one of them he wasn't backed up by safety Corey Moore like he should have been. Also, the Dogs' defense held South Carolina to just 6 points in the second half and got a big goal-line stop. It may be too early to declare that a turning point, but it shows what they can do. Mainly what we've been seeing is defensive players out of position, taking bad angles and not wrapping up tackles. Those are the kinds of problems that should lessen considerably as the season progresses.
Don writes: Bill, Just a thought: I think the Dawgs saw 2 of the most explosive offenses outside of Oregon that you can play to start the season. Both teams had veteran, very good quarterbacks and a lot of players back on offense. Granted, the defense has to improve, but just seeing that quality of opponent has to make you better doesn't it? I have been a UGA fan since the days of Matt Robinson and Willie McClendon and to me Todd Gurley reminds me a lot of Lars Tate, a big tough guy. Herschel was a once-in-a-lifetime talent, but guys like Tate, Hampton, Worley, Edwards and Hearst are pretty good to be compared to, and I think Gurley may be the best of that group. LSU is the key game to the season, if the Dawgs get that one, I think they are set to run the table. Just hope the defense learns from what they have seen so far and continues to get better.
Well said, Don. As I wrote after last Saturday's game, I think Gurley is the best tailback in the nation.
Pete Talmadge, who last week was pretty down on Mike Bobo, writes this week: Bill, after taking our shots at Bobo and company last week, let's give him (and the entire offense) credit for an imaginative, well executed game plan vs USC. The first TD pass to [Arthur] Lynch and especially the pass play to [Quayvon] Hicks at our goal line in the 4th quarter were impressive. Murray and company were able to keep USC's vaunted defense on their heels. To gain over 500 yards of total offense and score over 40 points without a single turnover is a remarkable feat that should quiet Murray's critics for a while. Finally, the most satisfying part for me was we ended the game with a bang — not a whimper, which is why we can crow about a beatdown over the Evil Genius.
You summed it up pretty nicely, Pete, and I'm glad you were willing to judge Bobo objectively. Offensively, it was a great day for him and the Dawgs.
Chad Moon writes: Hey Bill, this is from a huge Dawg fan living in Shreveport, LA. Do you think this upcoming game vs. North Texas and possibly any other games this season we will see [Hutson Mason] get some quality playing time to better get him game ready for next season much like Greene-Shockley? Thanks.
I don't think you'll ever see a Greene-Shockley-style rotation, but while Aaron Murray will start and no doubt play against North Texas, I'd be surprised if we didn't see quite a bit of Mason in relief. After all, Greg McGarity said playing time for the bench is one of the reasons you schedule cupcakes!
Zackariah Craig writes: Longtime UGA fan and happy with the win. I think Murray was more game manager [against South Carolina], which allowed him to avoid mistakes. Do you agree? Also, I feel between Gurley and Marshall, UGA can ride them to an SEC title. Marshall is a matchup nightmare in the passing game and Gurley is Gurley. What do you think?
Um, did we watch the same game last Saturday? The quarterback in red wearing No. 11 who I saw extending plays by rolling out and directing receivers as he made some big-time plays was a heckuva lot more than a "game manager." But I agree with you completely on Gurley and Marshall.
Jason Long writes: Bill, I agree that the crowd was louder than usual at the game last week against South Carolina, but let's face it, the Dawgs were playing awesome, the players were already fired up, and the crowd had a lot to cheer about. In watching other games around the SEC and the country, our music selection played in Sanford Stadium for kickoffs and throughout the game is really quite lame for a football game. "Teenage Wasteland" is a great song to listen to riding down the road, but it sure doesn't get my blood pumping, and most certainly not the players. How can we get some more current music played that the players would feed off of, and thus the fans? Even if it is not current, something that gets everyone more fired up. Who can we speak to about this? Thank you for your articles Bill, I enjoy reading your work!
And Gary Taylor writes: I have visited Clemson for 2 football games. Once last season for the South Carolina game following the GA/GA Tech game in Athens; one great day of football with my dad! Then again for the game last week. A couple of things were pretty obvious in sitting through both games. The stadium gameday environment is loud and raucous. The fans were loud, but the PA system is definitely one of the loudest I have ever experienced! They pipe in band music through the PA system and the nonband music is loud and really seems to inspire the fans, which in turn pumps up the team. I know the complaint in Athens is that the crowd sits on its hands and we can't hear music (especially the band), so why don't we utilize a similar style? It seems foolish to not better us the "home field" advantage Sanford Stadium offers.
Meanwhile, Bin Minter has a little different view: My family has had season tickets to UGA home games since the sixties or seventies, and I grew up going. I can remember what it was like before the jumbotron and speakers, when it was just football, the band, a scoreboard, an announcer, and cheers. The 2007 Auburn game notwithstanding, I miss those times. While the opening montage is great, those in control of stadium "entertainment" do a horrible job with their song and video collection (drinking from a cleat?!?). I would posit that the music they blast actually saps crowd energy at times. Take the beginning to the second half, for instance. When the Dawgs came back on the field, that should have been a loud moment, but all I can remember is the urban song blowing my eardrums out. It's as though they keep trying to recapture the Soulja Boy magic from six years ago. Surely I can't be the only person with this complaint?
First of all, the song by The Who played before kickoff at the beginning of Georgia home games is called "Baba O'Riley," not "Teenage Wasteland" (though that's a common mistake). And, honestly, I love it as a pre-kickoff song. On the other hand, I'm not crazy about some of the country and hip-hop songs that do blare from the Sanford Stadium PA (and, Gary, UGA is playing quite a bit of music during games these days), but I also recognize that some of those tunes resonate with the players and students a lot more than songs I might prefer — anyone else for The Beatles' "Hey Bulldog"? I've heard more than one under-30 UGA fan say they think the team needs a contemporary song (a la 2007's Soulja Boy track) to get the players and students revved up. Whichever side of the musical divide you fall on, if you'd like to make suggestions on the PA music or anything else you'd like to see changed on game days, you might want to try emailing athletic director McGarity at email@example.com.
Smartt Dawg writes: There has been talk of declining attendance at SEC games and efforts to improve game day experience for fans that attend in person. I have season tickets (section 106) and at the South Carolina game, there was a camera crew with a large circular stand moving across the sideline. At times my view of the game was interfered with, particularly in goal line situations. I can't remember a crew going across the sideline for the past several years. Will this continue or does it depend on whether the game is an ESPN, Fox Sports, SEC Network, or CBS? Though I love to be part of the game day atmosphere, this past week was the first time I can remember seriously considering staying at home because my view was not what I have been accustomed to.
I put your complaint/question to UGA Senior Associate Athletic Director Claude Felton, who responded: "This was a sideline cart camera that was used for reverse angle in this game. There is always one on the south side for every TV game; however, one on the north side we have had maybe once or twice in the last 20 years. So it would be rare, I would say."
Matt Cafaro writes: Bill, In week 5, Athens will host what will be the ONLY Top 10 game that week between LSU and Georgia, and you, I, and every other faithful Dawg out there knows in our hearts that "ESPN College GameDay" will invent some excuse as to why Wisconsin-Ohio State in Columbus or Chokelahoma-Notre Lame in South Bend deserve their time instead of us. I mean, it's not like they haven't been to Columbus, OH 148 times in the last 20 years. I know it shouldn't bother me, but it does. It's not every year we play a home game worthy of "College GameDay," but I think back to games like the UGA-Auburn Blackout, where instead of going to Athens, "GameDay" went to a DIVISION III game! It's like they're trying to offend us. With the expanded Tate Center, there's plenty of grassy-places between Tate and the MLC they could set up close to the stadium. To me, if "College GameDay" goes to one of those other games in those other towns they've been dozens of times, it means they're seriously only ever going to come to Athens when they're forced to, as they were in the 2008 Bama-UGA game.
While ESPN's choice of "GameDay" locations can be hard to figure at times, I don't think they have anything against UGA. If they don't come to Athens for this year's LSU game, it might be because they just featured a Georgia game opening week (albeit, at Clemson). From a purely superstitious standpoint, though, a lot of fans would just as soon "GameDay" go elsewhere, as Georgia hasn't performed all that well in games where Chris, Coach and Herbie were on hand in recent years.
Finally, the AJC's music maven, Melissa Ruggieri, passes along word that Jason Aldean's historic April concert at Sanford Stadium is coming to DVD next month. "Night Train to Georgia" will be released Oct. 15. "That day in Athens will always be one of my proudest accomplishments," Macon native Aldean said in a statement. "I've been working my whole career to get to this point where I can go into a stadium like Sanford, which I've idolized my whole life, and leave a mark. I watch it back now to remember the details because it was all overwhelming and a pretty surreal moment for me." More than 60,000 fans filled the stadium during the concert, which also featured Leesburg's Luke Bryan opening and Atlanta's Ludacris joining Aldean onstage. You can watch a trailer for the DVD here.

No worries about the defense at the end of the season we will be having to wait and see if he goes to the NFL or not then our athletic dept will try to lure him back with another contract extension and a raise
All while we still give up 30+ to top 20 teams
September 14th, 2013

Dawgs adjusted well the 2nd half of the Crackolina game. Could it be that the competition is higher than it was in the past? Too many points allowed for my taste though.
September 14th, 2013
10:10 am
I went back and did some work and under BVG we were 39-0 when our offense scored 20+ plus points…that's incredible!!! I wish BVG would of stayed at UGA….I think we would of won 3 mnc's by now! But he left to soon and the game has passed him by! I wouldn't want him now! I do want Grantham gone…but I'm going to trust in Richt that he knows what he is doing by keeping him around!

We had a defense full of veterans last year and they were middle of the pack SEC at best. It's lost on me how age and the mere passage of time will somehow magically make this year's unit better, but we'll see I guess.
Bank on the rest of the teams on our schedule attempting to exploit the massive holes in our defense exposed by Clemson and SC. That's the flip side of playing good teams. They can lay a blueprint for everyone else.
September 14th, 2013

Giving up 90 points in the last three games should be of tremendous concern to any program, regardless of the competition, Bill.
Also, convenient omission on the Van Gorder stats.

We will have to stop LSU's rushing attack,,,,if we don't then zack is going to light our secondary up! We don't want hamburger to gain confidence! Our offense can't score 40 every game! It's to much pressure!!!

UGA's defense is VERY young so the fact that we almost won the Clemson game and we did beat SC tells me the defense has game. With the bye week this weekend and the N. TX State game next week, it should give the defense another two weeks to solidify before LSU comes to town. UGA's defense will be ready to "rock & roll" and as the season goes on will just get better (it always does!). We do need to do a much better job stopping the run and tackling but these two weeks will help us there practice that. UGA knows what is on the line with the LSU game and will be ready to play. I think UGA wins it which sets us up for an 11-1 season to take on the SEC West winner (hope its ALA) and go to the NC game which I hope is against OSU. We've unfinished business to do. GATA DAWGS!!!!!

We have to stop with this silly superstitious b.s. and ENJOY any national attention our beloved Dawgs can get!
Gameday goes to Columbus at least once a year, EVERY YEAR.
Do you think it's a coincidence that although the Suckeyes lose bowl game after bowl game to SEC and Pac-12 teams, that no matter what, they ALWAYS start off the season ranked in the top-25, even though it's obvious they play in a lame conference and can't compete with the faster, stronger teams of the best two conferences in College Football?
Well, if you said yes to my question, I'm here to tell you NO. It's not a coincidence. The Suckeyes are continuously overrated, EVERY YEAR, precisely because of their incessant presence on Gameday, which keeps them nationally relevant, even though they've won less games that matter in the last 50 years than the Dawgs have.
I'm sick of Georgia being seen as a "regional" power by B1G apologists like Northwestern graduate Stewart Mandel and other national College Football writers.
To get the respect the Dawgs deserve, we NEED more national exposure.
You know who else has a dismal record on Gameday? TAMU. They're 0-3. But have you seen their fans all week? They're EMBRACING the exposure they're getting. They'll most likely lose this game and go to 0-4 with Gameday in attendance, but I guarantee those same Aggie fans won't take on this lame "woe is us" attitude I see from far too many Dawgs I know, and they'll again embrace and love the national exposure Gameday brings.
You want better recruits? You want better national respect? You want more money flowing into the program (that McGarrity will never, ever use, hiding it away like a squirrel hoarding nuts for the winter, but I digress)?
Then we should ALL be bombarding @CollegeGameday with our demand that they show up to Athens for the Week 5 game against LSU, the ONLY top-10 match-up of the week, and a game that will help decide the balance of the SEC going forward.
EMBRACE the national exposure. DEMAND the respect.
Stop being a bunch of stupidstitious ninnies.
And be DAWGS, dammit!!!
September 14th, 2013
10:53 am
*In the first paragraph, that should be top-10. The Suckeyes should be a top-25 team, but every year they start off in the top-10, even though they're never actually a real top-10 team.
September 14th, 2013
11:07 am
Libby, on what planet does UGA's defense get better as the season goes along? On planet Earth Grantham's worst showings tend to be in the SECCG and bowl games at the end of the year.
I'm sorry but some of you are in Fantasy Land.
September 14th, 2013
11:14 am
Grantham didn't over a safety over the top to help Langley, that was a huge oversight.
At least bracket, with Langley playing underneath, since Langley tens to cheat towards the run and eye the backfield way too much.
This showed a lot of incompetence to me.
September 14th, 2013
11:15 am
Willie Martinez was a lot better against ranked teams than Grantham has been in yards and scoring allowed.
September 14th, 2013
11:17 am
I do think Grantham will be fired after this season, you simply have to, he's proven he can't stop any team.
Willie only let 4 teams rush for 200 yards on him, it's an everyday thing with Grantham.
Question is, who can we get to replace Grantham that knows what they're doing? I wonder if VanGorder might be the right guy, if not, I'd go to an NFL def asst with a LONG track record of stopping the run.
September 14th, 2013
11:19 am
Here's what you do, let Dawson shut down the No 1 wr.
Bracket the No 2 wr with Langley and a safety.
Leave someone in the middle.
Leave 8 in the box to stop the run.
how hard it that?
September 14th, 2013
11:33 am
We effed up royally not firing Willie a year earlier and going after John Chavis.
September 14th, 2013
11:44 am
@YellinDawg – you're such a DEF wizard! If we're using Dawson and Langley on the #1 & #2 WRs, then what will we use Swann our #1 CB to do….numnuts??
September 14th, 2013
12:48 pm
At least YellinDawg is trying to think of something. Grantham is getting paid almost a million a year and he hasn't thought of anything.
September 14th, 2013
1:41 pm
I think N Texas will be key to the maturity of our defense. If we've learned enough to improve, then we shouldn't see them getting big chunks of yardage early. The danger is that happens, but by the 3rd quarter they run out of gas and depth, so we think our defense has once again turned the famous corner. LSU has SEC depth. What's left is the likelihood of needing 40 offensive points to whip LSU. Not a good position to be in for every big game.
September 14th, 2013
3:00 pm
Come on now; lets be fair
Grantham hasnt done much due to not having a decent pay raise or enough water troughs
September 14th, 2013
4:21 pm
@dawgfan – you're going to defend that idiot YellinDawg and he's recommending we play 12 DEF players? I might start thinking you're just as nutty as him! (8 in the box + 2CBs + safety help + 1 in the middle = 12)
September 14th, 2013
4:45 pm
I'm just saying that he's trying to come up with solutions. Grantham's been here almost 4 years and we keep seeing the same crappy defense. YellinDawg isn't collecting the fat paychecks so don't be mad at him.
September 14th, 2013
5:45 pm
What still mystifies me about TG and the defense is what happened in 2012. The defense finished up 2011 rock-solid and held LSU to 12 yds in the first half of the SECCG before LSU's depth took over. Look at all of the talent that came back for 2012…a lot of NFL-caliber players! I understand the suspensions early in the season, but the defensive performances against UT and SC were just really poor showings.
Overall, most would agree the defense really under-performed last year. So this year, the defense is young…well TG's big challenge is to get them to show improvement.
September 14th, 2013
6:49 pm
The defense as all defenses will continue to get scored on. The hurry up and spread has had all the games scoring going up the last few years. We just have to get a few stops and hope we have the better offense. The days of getting a lead and depending on your defense is gone. The game right now is built for the offenses. Thats why Richt and Bobo has to come out of old school conservative ways. Go Dawgs!!!
September 14th, 2013
8:50 pm
Dudes, the defense is playing 8 new starters of which most are freshmen. How is that TG's fault? Yes, the some Superstar Sunday player's underperformed last year. That has nothing to do with what is transpiring this year. This defensive group is learning and part of that learning process will be mistakes. Get over it, get over yourselves. They are fast and they are physical. Give them a chance to mature as a unit
September 14th, 2013
8:53 pm
Even watching Langley get burned last week, I saw some tremendous plays he made. That kid will do good things, in time. I believe this is going to be a good defense. They are not there yet but it coming

Some points of college football can't be measured by statistics, Todd Grantham helped turn a sinking ship around…………He changed the culture, he may soon have done all he can do at Georgia, but to date he's been a damn good dawg…………….I want to see Grantham's attack D eat Mettenberger's lunch…………GO DAWGS……………………RED
September 14th, 2013
10:48 pm
Funny how it was conveniently left out of the readers statistics that Todd Grantham had a TOP 5 defense in the nation 2 years ago. That's how he got the big contract.
Last years D was dissapointing, but I think more because players were reading their own press too much and being cautious with looming pro careers. This year they are young. Give it time people. Even Nick Saban can't make a top defense in two games with a bunch of freshman.
They need experience, and fans need patience.

September 15th, 2013
6:42 am
I am also worried about all the points our defense gives up, but I think it may have a lot to do with the improved offenses. Consider this, Kirby Smart and Saban are considered extraordinary defensive coordinators. In addition, they have recruited the BEST DEFENSIVE TALENT. In their last 2 SEC games (UGa and Texas A&M) they gave up approximately 80 points and 1000 yards. Heck, they let 1 player run and pass for almost 600 yards yesterday and the couldn't slow down UGa at the end of the SEC CG. I'm not implying Bama has bad coaches…..I'm saying that Grantham seems to be similar to other well know coaches. P.S. Even the Clemson and SC defenses gave- up almost 80 combined points against UGa this season!!!
September 15th, 2013
7:20 am
The 2011 stats were built up on a steady diet of cupcakes. In our 4 losses that year we gave up 35, 45, 42 and 33 points. If you think that's a Top 5 defense then I'm Elvis freaking Presley.
The only one conveniently omitting things is you.
September 15th, 2013
7:49 am
I do think Grantham has been overpraised and overpaid. Last year I knew anytime a team would get in the redzone is was an automatic touchdown. My biggest disappointment is with the tackling of Grantham's defenses, I don't think he teaches wrapping up. Having said all that, this year's defense has performed better then I expected and I think better then last year's defense already. Clemson is a top 10 team with a potent offense, they scored points but the defense stopped them multiple times also. I think the true reason UGA lost that game was because UGA's offense couldn't move the ball in the late part of the first half and the entire second half and the defense just wore out. Against USC the defense had a goal line stand, I don't think UGA has had one of those since Vangorder. Many of the mistakes that lead to big plays against USC should be able to be fixed fairly easily, mainly taking better angles. I think also this year's group is better at tackling then in the past.
As for music. I hated Clemson's use of the speakers and pumping in radio music. To me a big part of the college gameday experience is the band. Even when the band would play and they pumped that in it was horrible because you barely hear yourself think it was so loud. As for UGA fans not being that loud, I think a lot of that has to do with restrictions UGA has put on the gameday experience. Every place I go has such a great tailgate experience and UGA has stripped that away, I think taking that away really hurts the overall atmosphere.

I mean, geez, if you're Langley, and guys keep blowing by you
at least grab a jersey
a penalty is a lot better than a td

Grantham? Just the ole method.

The jury is still out on Grantham. I think he is a good D coordinator, much better than Martinez, but not as good as Van Gorder.
I don't have statistics to back it up, but it does seem like SEC teams are scoring more points the last 5-6 years than they did previously. As someone already pointed out Bama's last two SEC games they gave up over 80 points and Clemson and USC D's didn't look any better against Georgia than we did against them. Offenses seem to be scoring more points in the SEC.
I saw a lot of improvement in 2011 with Grantham's D, but 2012 was a major disappointment. Many fans thought we would be a top 10 defense with all that NFL talent and Grantham in the 3rd year of the 3-4 D. Most of us were expecting growing pains in the first two games with a young D, but it certainly hasn't risen above low expectations so far this year.
Once concern I have in the first two games is that we didn't seem to move players around pre-snap and bring pressure from different areas? That is the biggest advantage of the 3-4. Which fourth player will rush the passer? Will it be one of the outside linebackers?, the Mike? A safety or a corner? Will we bring a 5th rusher or only 3? Seems like we aren't disguising things as well as we could by having the Mike run up to the line and fake the blitz and then drop back in coverage only to have a safety actually be the fourth rusher.
Hoping we see a lot of improvement against LSU in a couple of weeks.

Todd Grantham's defense is:
3rd worst nationally in sacks
8th worse in nation in tackles for loss
103rd in scoring
105 in rush defense
89th in pass defense
Folks it's time to admit it:
UGA has the worst defensive coach in the nation.
The stats don't lie.

UGA defense is next to last in 3rd down conversion rate:
Can't get the defense off the field.

Yeah we have to start forcing more turnovers…that's what we have been good at under Grantham! It looks like we will have to score 40+ points on Lsu to win. It looks like Lsu and fla are the only teams in the sec that will play defense this year! I hope we can beat Lsu but don't think we will….Odell beckam will have a career day against our secondary…we all better hope we win the turnover battle…only way we win this one.

Grantham was brought in to see if we could convert to the 3-4 because it is a big Recruiting tool if you can tell the Recruit's that they will be learning what most Pro team run . What Georgia has found out is we may not have the Depth to be as successful as we need to be.Georgia lines up in the 4-2-5 most of the time. Can Grantham be successful at the College level is something that still need's to be determined. I don't now how good of a Recruiter he is but we are getting some pretty good Defensive Recruit's to come to Georgia and I think we have better quality Depth than we have had in the past 15 or 20 year's.
To build a top 10 program is not as easy as some would hope it is so I think the current Head Coach and entire staff need to be given 3 to 5 year's together and let's see what happen's. The only Coach that I would be watching currently is Will Friend because we have missed out on so many great Defensive Line Recruit's the last 2 year's. If that changes this year and we actually sign the top target's then the problem's have been addressed by Richt and McGarity.

Sorry, I meant to say :because we have missed out on so many Offensive Line Recruit's.

The game has changed such that offenses have the advantage. This is true for all teams. Witness Alabama, a defensive powerhouse if ever there was one, and recent scores against their defense by offenses such as ours and that of Johnny Football.
Still, it pains me to see the Bulldogs make fundamental errors such as failing to wrap up the ball carrier. That sort of thing should be an embarrassment to a Pop Warner coach. Here we have a coach making megabucks who doesn't seem to be able to teach football fundamentals.
Fundamentals – tacking and blocking and avoiding stupid penalties – these are always signs of good coaches.
I think our defense will improve as the year goes on, but so will the offenses of our opponents.
Go, Bulldogs.

The Glass Renaissance
- By: Ted Leeson
- Photography by: Greg Thomas
Like most anglers of a certain vintage, I began fly-fishing with fiberglass rods. Cane rods, aside from their prohibitive cost, were considered a bit old fashioned, and "graphite" was still a word that applied to pencils. Fiberglass was modern technology, a lighter, stronger, more versatile, "high-performance" material, and to many fishermen, that automatically meant that we had to have it. Some things never change.
Maine's Smallmouth Bass

Flip open a copy of Delorme's Maine Atlas and Gazetteer and you might be amazed at all the water in the state. Probably best known for big brook trout and classic landlocked-salmon fishing, Maine has everything required to fulfill fishing fantasies. Throw in some wonderful saltwater fishing for stripers and blues along the coast, not to mention the big bluefins shouldering along the continental shelf, and what else do you need? Well, bass, for one thing. Largemouth and smallmouth inhabit areas of the state as large and varied as the trout and salmon habitat, in some spots even overlapping those salmonids.

That I ever ended up in the Florida Keys at all was happenstance. Catching a tarpon on the second cast I ever made to those fish, from the bow of a 28-foot cabin cruiser called the Water Lilly, no less, was pure miracle.
But that's getting ahead of myself. First about the Keys—to be honest, in my 20s I had no interest in saltwater fish, aside from the Northwest's salmon. I was fixed instead on the northern Rockies and learning those waters better than any trout-bumming author on the planet. My thought process was this: There are too many great trout streams in the Rockies, and too many varied hatches and water conditions, to understand many of them well, let alone to know a few completely. So, why stray?

Foreign Tied

"DEAR SIRS," the e-mail started, "My name is Reginald Kibugi, and I am seeking to sell you excellent-quality fishing flies." My cursor hovered over the Spam button, but the next line made me hesitate: "My asking price is $3 per dozen." That's a quarter a fly. Was this a good deal? A bad deal? I didn't know, and chances are, you've received similar e-mails, if not this very one, and you don't know either.
In order to answer that question, you have to know a bit about the world of commercial fly-tying, and that means you need some history. Back in the 1970s, an American professional fly tier named Dennis Black was driving from shop to shop to peddle his wares. On one of his long road trips across the West, he had an epiphany: He might be better off supervising other tiers than doing all the work on his own.
Fishing Soft-Hackles
- By: Dave Hughes
- Photography by: Dave Hughes
I first met sylvester nemes through his 1975 book, The Soft-Hackled Fly. It was a small book, tightly focused on its single subject: wet flies tied with bodies of silk thread, sparse hackles, rarely anything extra. Sylvester's prose reflected his subject perfectly. It was spare, compact and didn't stray from its subject. Which is to say, the book was beautifully written. Best to me: It was—and is, because it's still in print under the title The Soft-Hackled Fly and Tiny Soft Hackles—one of those rare books that enthused me to immediately sit down at the vise, tie a bunch of the flies described, and rush from there to a stream to fish them.
The flies, and the methods described, worked. Sometimes they worked wonders. One of my favorite days with them came on a gloomy fall float of Utah's Green River, downstream from Flaming Gorge Dam. Few trout rose all day. My friends and I tried pestering them to attention with weighted nymphs tumbled along the bottom, which turned out to be ineffective—and because it produced few trout, was also very little fun.

Fly-fishing, travel and photography go together like ABC. Documenting our adventures afield can be a very satisfying part of our experience, whether we're traveling far away or just down the road. But too often anglers spend a small fortune on equipment, travel and perhaps a camera as well, and after returning home they are disappointed in their pictures.

When i was growing up in southern Idaho, private property meant, "Close the gates behind you and don't spook the cows." The rare No Trespassing sign just meant a grouchy old farmer didn't like his neighbors. But by simply asking permission we were able to hunt pheasants in the stubble-fields and fish for rainbows and cutthroat in the moss-filled spring creeks. In exchange, we occasionally dropped off a couple of fish or a brace of mallards for our hosts.
Fly Girls

Not every family fishing vacation has to involve all the members of your clan. Heck, not even everyone who joins the fun has to be a blood relation; just ask Oprah Winfrey, who this past fall went fly-fishing with her best friend, Gayle King, during their girls' trip to Yosemite National Park. We all know that women pick up the rhythm and feel of fly-fishing quite quickly, so it stands to reason that one of the fast-growing types of angling vacations are for women only.

We all have one: A list of places we just have to fish sometime. Some we've never been to, some deserve a return visit. They're the places that occupy our daydreams, when we're stuck in a meeting and wish we were somewhere else, when we're shoveling the drive after yet another dumping of snow… These are places where the weather's always good, the tides are in our favor and the fish are on the feed (in those daydreams, anyway). Our lists include familiar waters (perhaps because there's a certain comfort in that familiarity, but also because the fishing can be terrific) mixed with plenty of exotic locations we may never get to. But we can dream, can't we?

Utah athletic director Chris Hill has his own version of that adage from "Field of Dreams." Build it and they will win — and soon.
With facility upgrades either in the works or planned for virtually every sport the school sponsors, totaling about $64.2 million in financial commitments, Utah's transition to the Pac-12 is moving to its next phase — from getting spendy to getting competitive.

Two years into the Pac-12, the Utes are still languishing behind the majority of their foes in conference races. The closest the Utes have come to claiming a league title was when the gymnastics team finished second in 2012.
For the most recent season, gymnastics led the way again with a third-place finish at the Pac-12 Championships and women's basketball had the second-best effort with a sixth-place finish in the regular-season standings.
The remaining teams were below .500 and finished near the bottom of the standings in the sports that keep official league standings.
While a few struggling seasons were to be expected as the Utes moved to a BCS conference, the impetus is on Utah's coaches to start producing results sooner rather than later.
"There is no question everyone is feeling more pressure to win now than we used to," Hill said. "Everybody knows our challenges when we moved to the Pac-12, and they are great challenges, but we aren't afraid of high expectations."
That said, what is realistic for the Utes? If longtime Pac-12 members such as Cal, Washington State and Washington have trouble competing against mighty programs like USC and Stanford, how long will it take for the Utes to get on a level playing field?
A sobering assessment
A.J. Maestas, president of Navigate Research, a sports marketing research firm, projects it could take almost 30 years for Utah to even the playing field in the Pac-12 — not only in competitive results, but also financially.
The Utes will receive a 75 percent share of Pac-12 monies for the 2013-14 year, which is projected to be about $15 million. While those funds are a significant increase from what the Utes received in the MWC, Utah still lags behind its league competitors.
"They aren't sitting on their laurels, but it's like they started the race half the distance behind everyone else," Maestas said. "They are at a massive disadvantage, and you can't catch up overnight."
Maestas believes the deficit affects "everything," from the financial books to recruiting to winning on the field.
Hill chuckles when he hears Maestas' long-term projections. It might take Utah decades to draw even in the financial books, but he expects Utah to be competitive on the field much, much sooner.
"We are realistic, but we are intending to be good in some sports and competitive in all in the next few years," he said. "We know it's going to be really hard, but it's a fun challenge. We knew that going in."
Football is a key
The expectations predictably focus mainly on football, where Utah has gone from being an annual contender for Mountain West Conference titles to being ineligible for a bowl in 2012.
Winning appears an even more challenging prospect in 2013 than it did in the first two years, with nationally ranked Oregon and Stanford replacing Cal and Washington on the Utes' schedule.
However, Utah coach Kyle Whittingham is optimistic his team can make headway in the standings.Next Page >

Squeezed between the city centre to the south, Recoleta to the west and mostly inhospitable docklands to the north and east, Retiro gets its name from a hermit's retiro (retreat) that was hidden among dense woodland here in the sixteenth century, when Buenos Aires was little more than a village. Today it's surprisingly varied for such a small barrio: commercial art galleries and airline offices outnumber other businesses along the busy streets around the end of Calle Florida near the barrio's focal point, Plaza San Martín, while west of busy Avenida 9 de Julio lies a smart, quiet residential area.
Lying at Retiro's aristocratic heart, Plaza San Martín is one of the city's most enticing green spaces, flanked by opulent patrician buildings. More outstanding examples of the barrio's palaces, which reflect how wealthy Porteños of the late nineteenth century yearned for their city to be a New World version of Paris, are clustered around Plaza Carlos Pellegrini, one of the city's most elegant squares. For most Porteños, the barrio's name has become synonymous with the once grand but now mostly decrepit train terminal, the Estación Retiro, which still retains some original Edwardian features. Next to it is the city's major bus terminal, a modern and fairly efficient complex, and beyond that urban wasteland and a shantytown.
Charles Thays: Buenos Aires' landscape artist
Charles Thays: Buenos Aires' landscape artist
In the 1880s, French botanist and landscape architect Charles Thays (1849–1934) travelled to South America to study its rich flora, particularly the continent's hundreds of endemic tree species. He initially settled in Argentina, where his services were in great demand as municipal authorities across the country sought to smarten their cities up. They, like their European and North American counterparts, were spurred by the realization that the country's fast-growing urban sprawls needed parks and gardens to provide vital breathing spaces and recreational areas.
In 1890, Thays was appointed director of parks and gardens in Buenos Aires, in no small part due to his adeptness at transforming open plazas formerly used for military parades, or plazas secas, into shady plazas verdes, or green squares, such as Plaza San Martín. He also designed the capital's botanical garden and the zoo – which he planted with dozens of tipas (also known as palo rosa, or rosewood) – as well as Palermo's Parque 3 de Febrero, Belgrano's Barrancas, Córdoba's Parque Sarmiento and Parque San Martín, Tucumán's Parque 9 de Julio and, most impressive of them all, Mendoza's Parque General San Martín. Thays received countless private commissions, too, including the garden of Palacio Hume, on Avenida Alvear in Recoleta, and the layout of the exclusive residential estate known as Barrio Parque, in Palermo Chico.
Despite his French origins, he preferred the informal English style of landscaping, and also experimented with combinations of native plants such as jacarandas, tipas and palo borracho (a spiky-trunked relative of the ceibo with handsome pink flowers) with Canary Island palms, planes and lime trees. Oddly enough, given the high regard in which he was held and his contributions to the greening of Buenos Aires, the lone plaza named in his honour, Plaza Carlos Thays, in Palermo, is disappointingly barren, and definitely not the best example of landscaping the city has to offer.

"If you look at the Indian government's position on Sri Lanka over the last three or four years, it has slowly been getting tougher. They voted twice at the UN Human Rights Council in support of US-sponsored resolutions that were highly critical of the Sri Lankan government - for both refusing to investigate the allegations about possible war crimes at the end of the war, but also at the deterioration of democratic governance and human rights protections as we speak. They clearly have been sending very strong messages privately to the government so this [move] I think is consistent with what is an increasingly firm line from India on a range of issues in Sri Lanka."

(WHAS11) - A new test reveals a woman's constant companion, her purse, could have some negative health consequences.
The Center for Environmental Health says it found lead in the sides of 43 of 300 purses tested in a lab. Lead is linked to heart and brain problems after long term exposure to large doses.
The five purses that contained the most lead were made by Tory Burch, Guess, House of Harlow, Nine West and Charlotte Russe. Some of the companies have since pulled the purses from shelves.
The study found brightly colored purses made of plastic or vinyl are the most likely to contain lead.

- Typed by Le Ngoc Thach, Thong Linh High School. Unit 1: HOME LIFE PAUL: So, Andrea, you're going home for the holiday? ANDREA: I am sure. I've booked a flight for tomorrow afternoon and I can't wait. PAUL: That's sounds great. ANDREA: What about you? Going home too? PAUL: I haven't decided yet. I'm still considering … ANDREA: Haven't decided yet? Oh, you are never going to get a flight out of here. All the seats have been reserved by now I'm sure. It's the holiday season, after all. PAUL: Well, it's not very important to me. My family lives about 180 kms from here. I usually take the train or the coach. ANDREA: You don't sound excited about it. PAUL: Well, we are not really a very close-knit family. I have three brothers, and they've spread out all over the place. We rarely get together as a family any more. ANDREA: Well, try to get home as soon as possible. We're a big family – there are six of us – children – so it's always a lot of fun. PAUL: Six kids? ANDREA: Yes. And we're really close. My brothers are married, so it makes for a very crowded home over the holiday. And there are too many people to cook for, so we end up going out to dinner a lot. That's also fun. PAUL: Well, at my home, my mother loves to cook, so when we get home she often cooks big meals. We have leftovers for days. Unit 2: CULTURAL DIVERSITY TOURIST: Can you tell me about wedding ceremonies in VN? TOURIST GUIDE: Well, wedding is very important to the Vietnamese, not only to the couple involved, but also for the both families. The wedding day is usually chosen carefully by the groom's parents. TOURIST: What does the groom's family usually do on the wedding day? TOURIST GUIDE: On the wedding day, the groom's family and relatives go to the bride's house bringing gifts wrapped in red paper. The people who hold the trays of gifts are also carefully chosen. TOURIST: Do you have someone in charge of the ceremony? And what does he do during the wedding ceremony? TOURIST GUIDE: Yes, we have Master of Ceremonies who introduces the groom, the bride, the parents, the relatives and guests of the two families. The wedding ceremony starts in front of the altar. The bride and the groom would pray, asking their ancestors' permission to get married. The Master of Ceremonies gives the wedding couple advice on starting a new family. The groom and the bride then exchange their wedding rings. TOURIST: Where is the wedding banquet held? TOURIST GUIDE: Well, it depends. Often the wedding banquet is held at the groom and bride's home or at the hotel or a restaurant and all close relatives, friends, and neighbours are invited. TOURIST: What kind of food and drinks are served? TOURIST GUIDE: Traditional food and beer or vine are served. During the reception, the groom, bride, and their parents stop by each table to thank their guests. The guests in return, will give envelopes containing wedding cards and money to the newly wedded couples along with their blessing. TOURIST: Oh. That's very interesting. Thank you. TOURIST GUIDE: You're welcome! Unit 3: WAYS OF SOCIALISING The Telephone – Potential Family Battleground Hello, everyone. In today's talk I'm going to give you some pieces of advice on how to use the telephone in the most decent way so as to avoid unnecessary disagreements between you and members of your family. The telephone, as you know, is a marvelous instrument, but it may cause arguments between you and your parents – arguments that could be easily avoided if you would sit down, talk it over, and agree to a few simple regulations. The most obvious problem, of course, is what everyone considers a reasonable length of time for a call. The exact duration must be worked out with your parents, but ten minutes should be an absolute maximum. That's certainly long enough to say almost anything in five different ways, and yet it isn't so long that other members of the family will become angry. Even when your parents are out, the length of your call should be limited, because they, or someone else, may be trying to reach your home for a very important reason.
- Calling hours should be agreed upon. If your parents object to your leaving the dinner table to take calls, tell your friends to avoid calling that hour; if someone does phone, ask him to call back, or offer to call him when dinner's over. A serious calling problem is calling very late at night, or very early in the morning. This particular mistake is made mostly by young people who consider 10 or 11 p.m., when a lot of tired adults are happily sleeping, the shank of the evening. So please tell your friends not to call after ten o'clock. The shock of waking out of a sound sleep and the fright of that instant thought – "There's an accident" - are enough to give your parents a heart attack. Weekend morning calls aren't startling, but it's the one time your parents can sleep late. If your mother and father out of kindness, have installed a separate phone for you, remember that you're still a member of a family. So try to stick to your family's regulations. That's all for my talk today. Thank you for listening. Unit 4: SCHOOL EDUCATION SYSTEM JENNY: Look, these questions about how you got on at school. Shall we just go through them? GAVIN: Yes, let's. JENNY: Oh, so, did you always work very hard? GAVIN: Well I certainly worked pretty hard at the subjects I enjoyed. Yes, I did. What about you? JENNY: Yes, I did actually, I think I worked very hard, yeah. Now let's come to the next question. GAVIN: Did, yeah, did you always listen carefully to your teachers? JENNY: No I don't think I did. No, I think I was quite disruptive, actually. What about you? GAVIN: Well I think I did listen to the teachers certainly when I got to the level where I was doing the subjects I enjoyed. JENNY: Yeah, OK, the next question is, did you always behave well? GAVIN: I don't think I always behaved well. I was, a bit, er, a bit of a tearaway. JENNY: Um. Well, I think I was pretty well-behaved on the whole, so I'd say yes, yeah. GAVIN: Good for you! Did you pass your exams easily? JENNY: No I can't say I did, no, I, I found them quite a struggle, actually. What about you? GAVIN: I didn't pass them that easily, though I worked hard I found it very difficult to answer all that long questions in a short time. JENNY: Yeah, yeah, exactly. What about this one, then? Did you always write slowly and carefully? GAVIN: Quite slowly. Essays took a long time to write and I suppose I took a bit of care, yes. JENNY: Yes, I agreed. I was also, I was very careful and erm, yeah, yeah I was quite methodical. GAVIN: And did you think your school days were the best days of your life? JENNY: Um, no, no I can't say they were. What about you? GAVIN: No, I went away to a boarding school when I was quite young and I didn't like that. No, they weren't the best days of my life. Unit 5: HIGHER EDUCATION JOHN: Now, David, can I get this right: You've just completed a Msc course on which a large proportion of the students were international students? Is that right? DAVID: That's it. Yes, I was in AERD – that's the department of Agricultural Extension and Rural Development. JOHN: And how do you think the students from the other countries got along on that course? DAVID: Pretty well. JOHN: What advice would you give to students, particularly international students, based on your experience as a student here? DAVID: I think the most basic thing is to make use, full use, of the tutors and lecturers. Maybe some of the overseas students are a bit shy to take questions or problems to tutors. JOHN: What do you think they should do? DAVID: I think they should find out at the beginning of the course the times at which the tutor is going to be available for tutorial appointments, and then make full use of them. JOHN: So, any problems, they should tell the tutor as soon as possible? Let's move on, what about the amount of reading that you have to do as a university student? DAVID: Yes! It looks pretty daunting at first, with those long reading lists. Don't think that students have to read everything that's listed. Try to find out which are the most important items on the list – ask the lecturer or tutor if necessary, and then, if your time is limited, spend it reading those books thoroughly. JOHN: OK, that's very helpful, David. Thank you very much. DAVID: No, not at all.
- Typed by Le Ngoc Thach, Thong Linh High School. Unit 6: FUTURE JOBS Let's look at some of the recent changes in the US job market and see if we can make some predictions for future jobs. A good way to begin is to look at the American workforce and how it is changing. The most important change has been the shift from manufacturing jobs to service jobs. Manufacturing jobs are jobs in which people make something or produce things. For example, people produce cars. Service jobs are those in which workers provide services, or we may say, they do something, like washing people's cars. Generally, service jobs are grouped into five categories: One: Transportation companies. Two: Wholesale companies. Three: Retail companies. Four: Finance companies. Five: Personal services, such as hotels, cars repair, accounting, education and medicine. Now the point here is that people have change from manufacturing jobs to service jobs. For example, 100 years ago, 80% of workers produced goods, today only 30% do. Economists predict by the year 2020, nine out of every ten workers will work in service jobs. Unit 7: ECONOMIC REFORMS The inhabitants of Tango, a small island in the Atlantic Ocean, discovered a plant which contained a powerful drug. They grew the plant all over the island and they took the drug every day. This made it more difficult for them to think rationally - it stopped them worrying about the future and enabled them to forget all their problems. At the same time, it made it much easier for them to relax and enjoy themselves. And because of the drug, the whole population of the island stopped working and spent all their time singing and dancing and looking at the sea. Unfortunately this had very bad effects on the country's economy. The workers and farmers became lazy, the children didn't want to go to school and the whole population began to run short of food. This, however, didn't discourage people from taking the drug. The Prime Minister made speeches on the TV warning them about the drug, but nobody took any notice, and before long the economy of the country was in ruins. This forced the Government to take measures. They introduced a law to make the drug illegal. But that only made the situation worse. The law couldn't prevent the people from taking the drug. On the contrary, the fact that the drug was illegal encouraged people to take it more. They put the drug-takers into prison. But this did not have any effect, there were not enough prisons for them. Eventually, the Government found a solution: they exported the drug to other countries. This saved the islanders from having to work more than one day a week and allowed them to spend the rest of their time sitting in the sun without any care in the world. Unit 8: LIFE IN THE FUTURE Interviewer: Many scientists predict that in the 21st century people will be living into the incredible age of 130. What do you think about this? Dr. Davis: Well, I quite agree with them. They have reasons to be confident about that. Interviewer: What are the reasons? Dr. Davis: In fact, their prediction is based on research and on the fact that the centenarian population is mushrooming as our general health improves. Interviewer: Can you explain this further? Dr. Davis: A century ago average life expectancy in Europe was 45. Today, providing we look after ourselves, eat more healthily, cut down on things like butter, alcohol and cigarettes, we can add nearly 35 years to that figure. Interviewer: So these are the factors that help people live longer? Dr. Davis: Yes. But the most important factor is the development in medical science. Interviewer: What do you mean? Dr. Davis: Nobody dies from old age, just from diseases that affect people when they get older. Interviewer: So scientists are trying to find cures for fatal diseases like cancer and Aids? Dr. Davis: Right. Nowadays, about 50% of cancers are curable, and I really believe that within 30 years this will increase to 80%. And in ten years' time Aids will also be brought under control, too. Interviewer: That sounds interesting. What about living forever? Dr. Davis: So far, eternal life is just science fiction. But with the advance of science, it's not impossible.
- Unit 9: DESERTS Hello everyone. In today's talk, I'm going to tell you something about deserts, what they are and how they are formed. A desert is a hot, dry, sandy place. A desert is also a beautiful land of silence and space. The sun shines, the wind blows, and time and space seem endless. Nothing is soft. The sand and the rocks are hard, and many of the plants, such as the cactus, have hard needles instead of leaves. The size and location of the world's deserts are always changing. Over millions of years, as climates change and mountains rise, new dry and wet areas develop. But within the last 100 years, deserts have been growing at a frightening speed. This is partly because of natural changes, but the greatest desert makers are humans. In the 19th century some people living in English colonies in Australia got rabbits from England. Today there are millions of rabbits in Australia, and they eat every plant they can find. The great desert that covers the centre of Australia is growing. Farming first began in the Tigris-Euphrates, but today the land there is a desert. In dry areas, people can plant crops on dry and poor land. When there are one or two very dry years, the plants die, and the land becomes desert. In developing countries, 90 percent of the people use wood for cooking and heat. They cut down trees for firewood. But trees are important. They cool the land under them and keep the sun off smaller plants. When leaves fall from a tree, they make the land richer. When the trees are gone, the smaller plants die, and the land becomes desert. Humans can make deserts, but humans can also prevent their growth. Algeria planted a green wall of trees across the edge of the Sahara to stop the desert sand from spreading. Mauritania planted a similar wall around its capital. Iran puts a thin covering of petroleum on sandy areas and plant trees. Other countries build long canals to bring water to the desert areas. Well, that's all for my talk. Thank you for listening. Unit 10: ENDANGERED SPECIES For a long time the image most people had of a gorilla was a dangerous-looking animal with big, bared teeth. But researchers studying gorillas show a very different picture of mountain gorillas. The animals are peaceful, gentle, sociable, and mainly plant-eating creatures. Gorillas live in family groups. A typical group is led by the biggest and strongest grown-up male gorilla. He is called a silverback because the hair on a male's back turns from black to silvery grey as he grows up. A silverback's group usually includes one or two sub-adult males and a few females and their young. Mountain gorillas spend much of their time eating. Their food includes a variety of plants, along with a few kinds of insects and worms. At night the animals make a nest to sleep in. Many lightweight gorillas nest in trees. The heavier ones may nest in grasses on the ground. Babies sleep with their mothers at night. Life for mountain gorillas is not always peaceful. They are endangered and threatened by civil wars in the smaller parts of Africa. Hunters kill them for food. Their forests are cut down for farmland, fuel, and housing. But many scientists, forest rangers and other concerned people are working hard to protect mountain gorillas and their habitats. Unit 11: BOOKS I recently read The Incredible Journey by Sheila Bumford, a book about three animal friends who travel across the Canadian wilderness looking for their owners. It is a fascinating story that describes some of the incredible things animals can do. When a Canadian family goes to England for a long trip, they leave their three pets with a friend who lives 300 miles away. Though well treated by the friend, the pets miss their family. One day, they are able to leave the friend's house unnoticed and begin the long journey to find their owners. The central theme of the book, a problem the animals must resolve, is how to survive life in the wilderness in order to arrive home. They never could have completed the journey alone, but they take care of one another, and all the three make it and are reunited with their owners. Each animal has a distinct personality, but they care for one another almost as if they were a family. The most impressive of them is the old dog. The journey was the most difficult for him, hut amazingly he found the strength to make it. The author didn't try to turn the animals into people, speaking and acting like humans. Instead she was faithful to her characters as animals and showed us their journey through animal eyes. That made the book interesting and unbelievable. I would recommend the book to anyone who likes animals. I think that anyone who has ever had a pet or wanted one would enjoy it.
- Typed by Le Ngoc Thach, Thong Linh High School. Unit 12: WATER SPORTS SYNCHRONIZED SWIMMING The great Australian swimmer, Annette Kellerman, student at the University of Wisconsin, planted the first seed of what was to become synchronized swimming when she performed a water ballet in a glass tank in New York in 1907. Katherine Curtis, an American woman, was very inspired by the new water sport. So she tried to get synchronized swimming added to the physical education programme for female students. In 1923 she founded a water ballet club at the University of Chicago and sixty swimmers of the club attracted national and international publicity. The sport quickly became popular among young women in Chicago. Curtis developed the competition rules, based essentially on the scoring methods used in gymnastics and diving. The first recorded competition was held on May 27, 1939, between Chicago Teacher's College coached by Curtis and Wright Junior College of Illinois. Shortly afterwards, the Central Association of the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) staged the first multi- team competition on March 1, 1940. The following year, the AAU officially accepted synchronized swimming as a competitive sport for team events. In 1946 the first formal national championships were conducted by the AAU. Synchronized swimming became an Olympic event at the Los Angeles Games in 1984. Unit 13: THE 22nd SEA GAMES The first newspaper article: Only Amnat won a gold in the Southeast Asian Games Pole Vaulting yesterday. Nobody else could clear the bar. While he was the only one who stood alone on the podium, Amnat was among the Thai athletes who won 10 gold medals in early events yesterday. He won the gold in the Pole Vaulting Final after clearing 4.80 m. Meanwhile four other pole-vaulters missed their attempts at the heights ranging from 4.40m to 4.80m. Amnat has proved a lonely winner in this event, but his points were still below the SEA Games record of 5.05m. The second newspaper article: The Vietnamese Milk Company (Vinamilk) has offered jobs to the 27 members of Vietnam's Women's Football Team after they won the Games' second title. Perhaps they are going to be milkmaids when they retire. It is not an odd proposal because the majority of the footballers will become unemployed when the Games are over. And they now have to struggle to make ends meet Vinamilk has promised to train their new employees as soon as the deal is signed. The goalkeeper of Vietnam's Women's Football Team is dreaming to run a café after doctors have said her injuries would stop her from playing ever again. At the moment, she is short of money, so the Vinamilk offer looks tempting to her. Unit 14: INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS In 1945 leaders from 51 countries met in San Francisco, California and organised the United Nations (often called the UN). World War II had just ended. Millions of people had died and there was destruction everywhere. People hoped they could build a future of world peace through this new organisation. The United Nations has four main goals and purposes: 1. To work together for international peace and to solve international problems; 2. To develop friendly relations among nations; 3. To work together for human rights for everyone of all races, religions, languages and of both sexes. 4. To build a centre where nations can work together for these goals. Today almost every country in the world is a member of the UN. Each count signed an agreement that says: • All members are equal. • All members promise to solve international problems in a peaceful way. • No member will use force against another member. • All members will help the UN in its actions. • The UN will not try to solve problems within countries except to international peace. Obviously, the United Nations has not been completely successful in it. There have been several wars since 1945. However, the organization has helped bring peace to some countries that were at war. It has helped people who left their countries because of wars. It has helped bring independence to colonies.
- Unit 15: WOMEN IN SOCIETY Women hold up half the sky. This is an old Chinese saying. However, research shows that perhaps women do more than their share of "holding up the sky". Fifty percent of the world's population are women, but nearly two-thirds of all working hours are done by women. They do most of the domestic work like cooking and washing clothes. Millions also work outside the home. Women hold forty percent of all the world's jobs. For this work they earn only 40 to 60 percent as much as men, and of course they earn nothing for their domestic work. In developing countries, where three-fourths of the world's population lives, women produce more than half of the food In Africa, 80 percent of all agricultural work is done by women. In parts of Africa, this is a typical day for a village woman. At 4.45 am, she gets up, washes, and eats. It takes her half an hour to walk to the fields, and she works there until 3.00 pm. She collects firewood until 4.00 pm then comes back home. She spends the next hour and a half preparing food to cook, then she collects water for another hour. From 6.30 to 8.30 she cooks. After dinner, she spends an hour washing the dishes. She then goes to bed at 9.30 pm. Unit 16: THE ASSOCIATION OF SOUTHEAST ASIAN NATIONS Mr. Hung: What are you doing? It's so late. Why don't you go to bed? Nga: I'm trying to finish my essay about the culture and religions of the ASEAN countries. I'll have to submit it to my teacher tomorrow. May I ask you something, Dad? Mr. Hung: Yes? What's that? Nga: Do you know how many people in Southeast Asia speak English? Mr. Hung: I'm not sure. But the ASEAN region has the third largest number of English speakers -just after the US and UK. Nga: Really? Exactly how many people speak English? Mr. Hung: Around 50 million, I think, … mostly in the Philippines. Nga: Do you know anything about religions? Mr. Hung: The ASEAN countries include three main religions. They are Islam, Buddhism and Catholicism. Nga: What is Islam? Mr. Hung: A religion based on a belief in one god and the teaching of Muhammad. It's the religion of the Muslims. Nga: Can you tell me something more about the Muslims? Mr. Hung: It's an interesting question. The ASEAN countries have more Muslims than any other geo-political entity. Nga: But how many Muslims, Dad? Mr. Hung: Oh, let me try to remember... about a quarter of a billion, mostly in Indonesia and Malaysia. Nga: And what about the other religions? Mr. Hung: Other main religions of the various countries in the region include large numbers of Buddhists, and Catholics in the Philippines. Nga: What is the main religion in Vietnam? Mr. Hung: It's Buddhism. Many people go to pagodas. Nga: Well, and now I think I've got all the information I need for my essay. Thank you very much, Dad. Mr. Hung: That's all right. Finish your writing and go to bed. I'm afraid you'll get up late tomorrow morning. Typed by Le Ngoc Thach, Thong Linh High School.

Amy is contributing a series of Lenten prayers leading up to the celebration of Easter. You can read her introduction here; day 1 here; day 2 here; day 3 here; day 4 here; day 5 here; day 6 here; day 7 here.
Christ has risen!
Indeed, we cry routinely enough. Christ has risen indeed.
On this cold, pale blue morning we recite our affectionate gratitude
for Your plans beyond our expectations
for Your life beyond the grave
for Your promises beyond our hope.
The morning scene is serene enough to sentimentalize us, and for even this we are grateful.
But in the silence of this Easter morning, we hear the call of the resurrection:
the resurrection which calls to us from behind that illuminating horizon,
the resurrection which wearies our easy way of remember and startles with new anticipation,
the resurrection which grants us the holy fortitude to sing
Soon and very soon...
Yes, Your miracle life beyond the cave of death lends us the potent reminder this morning that we, too, await resurrection:
the resurrection which will call us to the sky,
the resurrection into rest for our weary souls,
the resurrection which will grant us the ending of the tune, retiring the language of "soon" and replacing it with the vernacular of the heavenlies.
Soon. Oh that it would be very soon.
That You would rend the heavens! That You would come down!
We have yet to see an act like that.
But we have heard tales of one.
And that Friday-Sunday act gives us hope.
Come and be Eastered among us until we are raised with You.
Until then, we will watch the horizon.
And we will hope better this time.
Hi, friend. I'm Amy. Mostly, I'm just another twenty-something trying to figure out the stuff of life. I am a nerdy seminary student who loves the smell of old books and early mornings in the library. I am an artist wanabee, a liberal to the conservative and conservative to the liberal, guilty social justice groupie, and a recovering Bible know-it-all with the unreal ability to put my foot in my mouth an astonishing number of times each day. I am a sister to eight of the most hysterical creatures ever created. Good theology, used book stores, and autumn make me giddy. I preach passionately, think deeply, and ask too many questions. I write prayers, poetry and prose. I write about preaching bad and good, gender roles in the Church, the sacraments, stupid things we do on Sunday, politics, and almost everything else that you are not supposed to discuss in polite company. I also blog at oneyellowbird.blogspot.com. Welcome to the journey.

Explanation of Reports
The Clinton Global Initiative was separately incorporated during fiscal years 2010, 2011, and 2012 at the request of the Obama Administration while Secretary Clinton was in office. As a result, CGI filed separate 990s with the IRS during that time. In 2013, when Secretary Clinton left office, CGI returned to the Clinton Foundation.
The Clinton Health Access Initiative (formerly the Clinton HIV/AIDS Initiative) became a separately incorporated entity in fiscal year 2010 and remains so today. Under FASB and GAAP rules, the Clinton Foundation is required to consolidate CHAI's finances into its audited financial report given the relationship between the two entities. See the Clinton Health Access Initiative's financial reports.
It is the policy of the Clinton Foundation to do an annual compensation study that reviews three industry surveys to determine all staff compensation; including top management and the CEO. CEO compensation is reviewed by an independent outside consultant.

Who'll Raise Your Kids If You Die?
Guest blogger Kate Tuttle: OK, so it's a topic no parent wants to think about too deeply. But the idea of who would raise your children if you and their other parent both died is at the heart of a new romantic comedy opening this weekend. "Life As We Know It" stars the impossibly attractive Katherine Heigl and Josh Duhamel as battling singles who are forced to join forces, move into a picture-perfect house and raise a lovely little baby after the kid's parents die. And although the movie has a happy ending (as these movies must), it's pretty much a roadmap of what not to do.

"Each still photograph is a privileged moment, turned into a slim object that one can keep and look at again," writes Susan Sontag in On Photography. The nine snapshot collectors featured in OPP devote their weekends to the avid pursuit of such privileged moments at the Chelsea flea market, where one vendor becomes slightly huffy when a potential buyer doesn't realize he's holding a photo of King Leopold III. Unlike several of the obsessive filmgoers in last year's Cinemania, whose movie madness warranted an entry in the DSM-IV, the photo buffs in Shepperd and Philbrick's slim, bare-bones doc speak coolly and lucidly about their passion. "It's the unfinished storywhat happened just before, what happened just after," notes middle-aged Peter about the poignant narrative a snapshot provides. Plummy-voiced Leonie reveres the subjects in her treasured pics as "these strange, magical, frozen people." Excavated from flea market bins and then neatly assembled in frames, albums, or plastic containers, the frozen people are reanimated by their collector's returning gaze.

South Sudanese VSU Visit "Promising"
Published date: May 7, 2013
Virginia State University's College of Agriculture recently hosted a visit by a nine-member South Sudanese delegation from the University of Juba. On an information-gathering quest, the delegation was led by Dr.Pasquale Tiberio Droko Moilinga, dean of the College of Natural Resources and Environmental Studies at the University of Juba.
The two-day itinerary included academic briefings by administrators and faculty, tours of VSU's 416-acre Randolph Farm and Southern Piedmont Agricultural Research Center in Blackstone, and site visits to observe operations of selected small farmers participating in VSU's demonstration programs. Moilinga explained that the University of Juba, established in 1977, is in the process of rebuilding higher education in South Sudan, an African country that achieved its independence from Sudan on July 9, 2011.
"We are a new nation and a new people," exclaimed Moilinga. "We consider Virginia State and Virgina Tech to be premier universities with proven track records in agriculture and we're excited about forming this partnership which is very important to us." He explained further that through collaborations with Virginia's two land-grant institutions, he anticipates positive impacts on socio-economic and technical development.
Dr. Wondi Mersie, VSU associate dean and research director, said as an immediate result of the visit, VSU and Juba University faculty have begun partnering to formulate plans for constructing a research farm, and establishing training and curriculum development guidelines. "VSU faculty will be actively engaged with Juba University on projects related to specialty crops, campus vegetable production, weed control, small ruminants and aquaculture," Mersie said.
VSU President Dr. Keith T. Miller, in welcoming the delegation, expressed his desire that this meaningful dialogue be maintained continuously. This, Miller said, will assist Juba University in its rebuilding efforts while simultaneously affording VSU yet another advantageous opportunity to live up to its mantra of "building a better world."
