Wednesday 12 September 2012
A day before his newly promoted Reading side travel to Stamford Bridge in the Barclays Premier League Brian McDermott has hailed Chelsea as the rightful European champions after watching them beat Wigan Athletic 2-0 at the weekend.
"They are the best team in Europe," the Reading manager said. "They were really, really good on Sunday.
"It will be a great challenge for us tomorrow night"
Brian McDermott
"They started off really well. They got a couple of goals early on and could have scored another one when Fernando Torres went through.
"But it will be a great challenge for us tomorrow night."
Despite this challenge, the Reading midfielder Mikele Leigertwood has vowed that his side will attack Roberto Di Matteo's team after earning a point with a last-minute penalty at home to Stoke City on Saturday.
"You can't go in to any games fearing teams or sitting back. You have to attack and put teams under pressure and I'm sure we'll do that tomorrow," Leigertwood told a press conference.
"We have pace in the side and strength up front with Pog [Pavel Pogrebnyak].
"We'll play with a high tempo and that will be good for us. We want to give a good account of ourselves and go there and win hopefully.
"We have taken belief from watching teams like Swansea, Norwich and QPR. They all stayed up and it shows that if you go and attack you can do well in this league."
"If you go and attack you can do well in this league"
Mikele Leigertwood
Leigertwood has been relegated twice from the Premier League, with Sheffield United and Crystal Palace respectively, and he does not want to go through the same experience with Reading this term.
"Being relegated is never nice so I am more determined than ever," the 29-year-old said. "I want to go that one step further than I did with Palace and stay up and hopefully finish my career in the Premier League.
"It feels good to be back in the Premier League. Every footballer wants to be playing at the top of their game against the best players in the league so for me it's fantastic."

Dealing with Natural Disasters
When a natural disaster occurs, the entire community is affected. The event can change the way students, parents, educators and the community live and function every day. According to the PsySTART Triage System, an incident management strategy for large-scale disaster and terrorism events developed by the UCLA Center for Public Health and Disasters, children may exhibit the following behavior after a natural disaster:
- Decreased concentration or attention (in school or home)
- Changes in sleep
- Changes in appetite
- Frequent changes in mood
- Sadness or depression
- Increased irritability, increased anger outburst or temper tantrums
- Changes in activities (may not want to do things they used to)
- Withdrawal from family members, peers or activities
- Changes in school performance
The school crisis response team should be prepared in the case of a natural disaster. Many students will be in shock so proper psychiatric services should be offered to members of the community. Furthermore, members of the crisis team should be very clear on the specific and residual changes resulting from the crisis. In very severe cases, schools should hire a larger-scale crisis team, such as the American Red Cross, to deal with large-scale effects like long-term school closings or school relocations. This will help ease many concerns and provide parents with an ample amount of people to answer questions.

SOUTH DAYTONA -- Police Chief Bill Hall, who will retire from his post next month, was recently recognized at a South Daytona Historical Society meeting where his mother was the guest lecturer.
The 54-year-old chief, who spent 33 years of his 35-year law enforcement career working in South Daytona, was given a framed certificate thanking him for his early support of the historical society, which was formed last year.
Phil Trimarchi, president of the historical society, said society members wished to honor Chief Hall before his upcoming retirement for helping the society by giving them historical information on past police chiefs, as well as office space in the Citizens Alert office at Sunshine Park Mall.
"We wanted to thank him for his help in getting us situated in the Sunshine Park Mall (office)," Mr. Trimarchi said. "... (Chief Hall) was always available to help with any research, like the former police chiefs, so we could piece together our (city's) history."
Chief Hall received the certificate following a history lecture given by his mother, Ramona Jones Hall, who grew up on Reed Canal Road in the 1950s. Ms. Hall, whose family moved to the city from Port Orange, spoke of a time when there were dairy farms instead of strip malls along the street corners, when her father built a mobile home park where rent was $10 a month, and when she learned to drive on her own, because there was no such thing as driver's education at the time.
The chief wasn't the only person with ties to the city's police department to receive special recognition from the historical society this month.
The historical society also saluted Russell Milne Jr., whose father Russell Milne Sr. was a former police chief. The younger Mr. Milne wrote a historical account of his father's life called "Orphan Boy" -- named so because Mr. Milne's father was orphaned at age 5. The account included details of his work in South Daytona's police force.
Kay Stanton, planner and corresponding secretary of the historical society, said she found out about the book while researching the elder Mr. Milne and his life and work in South Daytona. She contacted Mr. Milne asking if he would be interested in donating a copy, and two days later he visited Ms. Stanton's house to hand-sign a copy for the historical society.
"(The book is) a short but delightful memory of a father's life," Ms. Stanton said. "I'm so glad I got to read it."
The historical society's next meeting on Jan. 7 will feature two former mayors as speakers, Dan O'Brien and Clifford "Buzzy" Windle.

The Beast
Scarred. Damaged. Living with a terrible secret. Agent of the Underlight Wesley "Hauk" Haukon has nothing left but the fight for liberty against the oppressive Order of Ananke. He's starting to lose hope... and then he sees her.The Beauty
Despite her night job as a burlesque dancer, grad student Jolie Benoit has always played the mostly good girl. That all changes following a scorching sexual encounter with a stranger whose face she doesn't see. After she's kidnapped by thugs and rescued by a man with a very familiar voice, Jolie becomes a pawn in a struggle she never knew existed.
Hauk knows he cannot have her, and resolves to protect his heart and his secrets. But as they work together and grow closer, he finds new reason to keep fighting. Dare he risk hope in a new life, one where Jolie can see past his ravaged face and where their friendship can grow into something more?
The trilogy continues in How Beauty Saved the Beast.
©2012 Jax Garren (P)2012 Audible, Inc
Love Sci-Fi, Fantasy and Romance books.
"Left me wanting more..."
Great start to this story, but this is book one of three. I have read all three and this was my favorite. The book is too short, but if you are looking for something quick to fill a few hours then this is perfect. And if you like it you there are two more books which are out now so you won't have to wait for the like I did.
"Beastly Amazing!"
Be careful...the cover really implies that this is supposed to be a retold version of Beauty and the Beast Steampunk, Urban Fantasy style. While I agree to the Urban Fantasy, I wouldn't exactly say this is Steampunk. That being said this is an Adult Romance that is mind blowing breath taking and beautiful. I don't want to give a lot of details but amazing does not describe this book! The writing isgreat and the plot is well planned and executed. I loved both Jolie and Hauk. They were both well-developed characters. There were several secondary characters that added to the book.
There was not HEA for this Beauty and this Beast but maybe in the next book....I had to keep that in mind when rating this book since this was a good start to a new series, but my only criticism was that I was left wanting...wanting to know more of the mystery about Hauk and wanting more of the relationship between Jolie and Hauk. I can only hope as I wait for the next books in the series.
Expected publication of How Beauty Saved the Beast (Tales of the Underlight #2): February 2013; Followed up shortly by How Beauty Loved the Beast (Tales of the Underlight #3) : May 2013.
I have been happily married for 17 years, I have 3 children (12, 14, & 16), and 2 dogs. I am currently working on a 2nd degree. Life is chaotic and stressful, but I wouldn't change it. I am blessed and enjoying my life.
"I really enjoyed it!"
I loved the relationship that is developing between Jolie and Hawk. Jolie's sauciness was so entertaining. I can't wait to see how the rest of the series develops. Hawk is a wonderful hero!
Jax Garren's world is very interesting and Therese Plummer's voices are distinct and very recognizable. TP is a very talented narrator.
Over all I believe it's going to be a good series. I have already downloaded the 2nd and 3rd books!
I'll read anything good. I'm easy that way.
"Sexy and Surprising"
I am in awe of what Jax Garren has created in this new series. Especially her great idea for a sexy male hero. Both main characters are fascinating and I have already purchased the next book.
I especially enjoyed the combination of this story and the reader. Therese Plummer has the ability to do great male voices, and makes them sound sexy and sweet. I fell in love with Hauk.
Hello, my name is Teresa and I'm an addict.
"When Beauty left the Beast wanting more."
Story was not what I expected. More a political battle between two communes/ cult that supposedly have big clout over the world. The chemistry between the two started off hot but there was no other action. The sparks were there, but I like more action between the sheets. The writing was good the story original but too short, I believe the story could have been extended for a better book. I didn't realize it was the beginning of a series until after I had listened to it, so I will be getting the rest. Narration was good. Defiantly worth the price.
"A good start."
The story was nice...but it is clearly the beginning to a series and I didn't know that going in so I was disappointed that the story didn't have closure at the end...just a very open plea for another book to continue the story.
I love all genres of books. However, when I listen to audio books as I clean, garden, drive they are better with a lot of heat!
"A Disappointment...,"
I bought this book because of the reviews and was quite excited for this sexy, Steampunk retelling of my favourite fairy tale, but I sadly was very disappointed. To start with I felt a little concerned that beauty is only 17 and working in a strip club.I don't think that is legal or moral. The book was not very sexy or very Steampunk. There's only one sex scene at the very beginning, but it felt forced. And the whole time I just kept thinking "how is this physically possible?"! There was a cloth screen between them so I must have missed something, because otherwise it just wasn't possible to be doing what they were doing.
As for the Steampunk element, well, I did kind of like how it was portrayed. It's more underground Steampunk, literally. There's the Underlight society which is located underground and that's where all of the steam and clockwork is. But we don't get to see too much of it either way, since our hero and heroine are on the run from an enemy society. I'm still not fully clear on what was happening with that. I just kind of nodded my head and continued reading and was glad to reach the end.
Glad the book was only a few dollars or I would have felt very ripped off
The compassion to look beyond the exterior of a human being is overwhelming!
Therese Plummer is the best narrator EVER
"hold on for the ride!"
Fresh ideas and take on a classic. I love that stereotypes are not stereotypical or not predictably so.
The characters are likeable and engaging. I could find myself hoping for friends like these. I want to live in the underlight!
Ms Plummer gives life to the book. Listening to the book allows me to sink into the story and live it.
I listened in one sitting and was online looking for the second book immediately.
The book starts with a very "adult" bang. Don't abandon hope it quickly moves into a true storyline.
"Pleasantly Surprised"
First of all thank you to Therese Plummer who is amazing. I wouldn't have found this book or taken the chance on it if it wasn't read by her.
I was really surprised by how much I liked this book. I usually don't listen to books that are this short but was very glad I did because this one was awesome. I must admit i was half expecting some cheesy rendition of Beauty and the Beast. However, thankfully that was not the case. This story took on a life of its own and surprisingly the characters were really well done. There is so much about this book that I loved; the romance, the action, suspense and the magic. Hauk was definitely my favorite character though. He just has so many intricate details about him and is just plain awesome. Trust me....just listen. I don't think you will regret it.
Can't wait to finish the whole series!
"Magical fairy tale romance.."
A retelling of beauty and the beast with a magical twist. Jolie a well to do rebelling burlesque dancer and Hauk a hero who looks like a monster is very much part of a small underground movement against a forcible foe with magical clout that can tear their world apart.
I have to say the initial meeting is genius, I really enjoyed this introduction and cannot wait to read more..

Try adding green onion, diced piemento peppers ( small jar), dill weed (1 teaspoon), sweet relish ( 1/4 cup), and 2 tablespoons sugar. These ingredience add contrast of sweet and tart. And the dill weed adds another layer of flavor.Reply

Let's get straight to some of this week's Junkyard Mail, which was dominated by concern over the state of Georgia's defense and the future of coordinator Todd Grantham. Here's just a representative sampling. …
Cohen Moore writes: Hey Bill! I'm a current Grady [College] student at UGA and next football season will be my final one in Athens. I just wanted to say that after watching Georgia play this season, the lone reason we have four losses is our defense. I blamed injuries for a while. But even with all those injuries, we still put up 30-something points a game. If a defense can't keep opponents under 30, that's a huge problem. I tend to be optimistic every season, so I think that if UGA can SIGNIFICANTLY improve the defense (which I think will happen), then next year should be nothing short of a BCS bowl. I would love for Richt to stay for the long haul and get our program some championships. Your thoughts?
Along the same lines, Jeff Myers writes: Bill, let me first say, it is a pleasure to read your articles and blogs each week. More often than not you hit on the exact points and questions I am thinking about as a fan. You are informative, fair, and bluntly honest. Thank you for being a fan's writer. The elephant in the room for me is the fate of defensive coordinator Todd Grantham. I am a glass half full kind of person, but in this case I am falling on the side of half empty. Past experience for one, Mark Richt held on to Willie Martinez one season to long and it almost cost him his job. Even more so is the entire body of work from Grantham, which shows a lack of ability to teach and develop players; lack of ability to adjust, or adjusting too late; lack of game management; lack of being an in-game play caller; and lack of the ability to recruit the top recruits on the board each year. Bill, all these things are repetitive over the Grantham tenure. Yes can you point to player turnover, injuries, improved run defense, key stops to win games, shutting down teams in the second half. We can all find silver linings, but the overall body of work supports change in my opinion. Even if Grantham stays, his contract most likely will not be extended, making recruits see him as a lame duck coach. What exactly do you think will change if he stays? The body of work shows us we will still be wasting timeouts on defense, players will continue to line up late, the defensive calls will be late, the defensive angles and tackling will be average at best, no in-game adjustments will be made until it is too late, and we will not be able to get off the field on third downs. The reason some say Grantham should get another year is the lost starters from last year. Well, that defense was woeful as well. With the great talent it possessed, the same problems existed. Time for change!
And J.Johnson writes: I've read in several places … that we shouldn't be so down on the defense and things are actually better than we think. But a lot of commentators from the Bulldog faithful seemed to be hard pressed finding a silver lining. Who do I believe?
I always figured Grantham would be back next season (assuming he doesn't finally bolt back to the NFL during the offseason). The performance of the Dogs' defense over the past couple of seasons, while troubling, wasn't dire enough to prompt a firing by Richt, who's never quick with the ax. And the head coach has a point in touting the benefits of continuity. Switching to a different system under a new coordinator likely would result in a step back next season rather than progress.
However, do I think Grantham is the long-term answer for the Dogs' defense? Probably not. One way or the other, I don't expect him to still be in Athens a couple of seasons from now.
Let me say up front, though, that I don't consider Grantham a complete failure as defensive coordinator. Sporadically, Georgia's D under him has been very good. That even applies to this season. There've been some big-time stops, especially in the fourth quarter, but also a tendency to give up big plays. Overall, it's been maddeningly inconsistent. Last year, the secondary was a strength but the NFL-caliber defensive front underperformed, especially against the run. Substituting more liberally under a new defensive line coach this season, the front has been good against the run (even against Tech's triple option) and the linebacking corps productive as usual. But the inexperienced secondary has been pretty much a disaster (although there are extenuating circumstances there, as I noted the other day).
Of greater concern to me has been the slowness with which Grantham adjusts his schemes during a game and the fact that they appear to be needlessly complicated, resulting in defenders having to think before reacting. The defensive sideline also has appeared disorganized, with too many flags for 12 men on the field, and signals from the coordinator coming in so late that the players often are still shuffling around and trying to find where they're supposed to be when the ball is snapped. Worst of all, they've had a real problem getting off the field on third and fourth down. And they haven't done well in takeaways, either.
In terms of stats, things appear to have gone downhill. The Dogs finished the regular season ranked 10th in the SEC in scoring defense (29.4 ppg), 10th in passing defense (232.8 ypg) and seventh in total defense (381.3 ypg). The scoring figure is the highest in school history and the latter figure is the highest since 1999. Nationally, they ranked 80th, 68th and 47th in those categories, respectively.
But in addition to having to start a lot of inexperienced players this season, including several true freshmen, it's only fair to point out that this year Georgia faced five of the nation's Top 25 scoring offenses. And some of the defensive stats are skewed by the fact that special team errors and offensive miscues resulted in opponents getting gimme points or a short field.
Basically, assuming Grantham sticks around UGA to fulfill the year remaining on his contract, next season should tell the tale.
Travis Hill writes: This season has really been bittersweet. At home getting to see UGA beat the Cocks and LSU was just awesome … and I was lucky enough this year to be able to go to most of the away games. The way our team was decimated by injuries was just unreal this year. I can't imagine how good we would have been without so many players suffering injuries that were catastrophic. With that being said, we have some MAJOR issues that Richt and [Greg] McGarity have to address this next season. 1.) special teams. Marshall Morgan aside, this has become one of UGA's biggest Achilles heels. We gave teams so many points this past year off special teams. Richt has not done what it takes to make our special teams ELITE. Our special teams have to rank at the bottom of the SEC. Why can't Richt hire a consultant ( like Alabama does) if we are not going to do any coaching changes and have a designated special teams coach? McGarity needs to step in and put his foot down on this. It's inexcusable … 2.) pass defense. I know we have young defensive backs playing for us, but I did not see any significant improvement with them as the year went on. Our pass defense made Nick Marshall and Vad Lee look like prolific passers. Both had their best days as passers against UGA's defense. Something is not jelling between [defensive backs coach Scott] Lakatos and Grantham. This is Grantham's defense, so he needs to take the steps necessary to improve this. … Now for some positives: 1.) Mike Bobo's offense. I have been VERY critical of Bobo's play calling in the past [but this year] his play calling was pretty good in the games where we had most of our major horses ready to go, He had problems trying to adjust the offense when [Todd] Gurley and half of our wide receivers went down to injury … but I think anyone would have had that kind of problem. … I know there are a lot of Bobo haters out there, but I think he has matured … he seems to be able to figure out defenses pretty well. 2.) defensive line. I really thought our defensive line play improved a lot under coach Chris Wilson. We just seem to play the run a lot better this year. And our pass rush improved as the year went along as well. … We did not lose any coaching when Rodney Garner left for Auburn. 3.) recruiting. I think our recruiting has stepped up a notch in the past year. This recruiting season should be a great one… I can't wait until signing day.
I'd say that's a pretty evenhanded assessment of the football program, Travis. But while I agree the loss of Garner as defensive line coach was a net gain for UGA, I think the verdict is still out on how it impacts Georgia's recruiting. While he appeared to coast some in his later years in Athens, since arriving at Auburn Garner seems to have gotten a second wind as a recruiter. The Dogs have a good start, but they still have a way to go to have another elite class. I think the fact that Richt decided to postpone bowl practices a couple of weeks in order to concentrate on recruiting before the newly expanded monthlong dead period with no contact begins in mid-December is a good sign he's committed to closing strong. Hope it happens.
Gary Payne writes: Hi Bill, Enjoy your passion and perspective. When I was a freshman in 1980 and we won the [national championship], I recall being amazed that UGA's last championship came in '42, a ridiculous 38 years prior. Don't look now, but at 33 years, we have only 5 years to go before we equal that drought. Do you think we win it all in the next 5 years? The playoff format should help but I'll take the over. Seems like there is always some glaring deficiency that we just can't overcome and there never seems to be an overriding sense of urgency to fix or even acknowledge the obvious. Yes, we came a few yards short last year, but that is the point – even at our best we always seem to be a few yards short.
A few yards short of making it to the national championship game is still closer than a lot of teams come and closer than UGA has come in a long time. I think if the defense and special teams improve and Georgia continues to have an elite offense, the Dogs have all the makings of a national championship. Even with the problems this season, Georgia was in a position to play for the SEC title (and possibly the BCS title) before the injury bug hit. So, yes, I believe a national championship is a realistic goal for this program.
Barry Clinton writes: Bill, I have to wonder about officiating in the SEC. How bad can it get, including replay officials? Is there no accountability for egregious errors in judgment on the part of the officials? Oh, it was real bad this year, indeed. Out of respect for you and your readership, I will forgo any comments pertaining to the competency of a Mr. Wagers other than to say he is bad for college officiating and college football, in general. As for the targeting rule, what lamebrain committee came up with that? I could go on, but I would ask you to please comment on any or all of the above rantings. Thanks Bill. I truly enjoy your blog.
And in a similar vein Kevin Lee writes: Why has there not been an investigation done on SEC football refs and the blatant bias against UGA? Look, I know there are a number of reasons that we lost each of the four games this season (and almost lost to UT), however there is something to be said for the major blown calls (and "no-calls") that added significant detriment to the team in each of those loses. There are many to choose from, but this goes for the horrible targeting calls in the Missouri and Vandy games to the fumble recovery and no-call on the late hits on Aaron Murray in the Auburn game. I mean, Richt got a flag for arguing about that Auburn fumble — and venting his frustration at the horrendous officiating at that game. When was that last time THAT happened? This has been going on ever since the 2007 UGA/UF game. Think of the celebration call on A.J. Green in the LSU game in '09 or the horrific hits on Murray against Auburn and Alabama the past few years with no flags. Is there anything to be done, Bill? What do you think? Am I way off base?
I don't really think there's any sort of conspiracy among SEC officials against UGA. I think they're just generally inconsistent in their calls and some of them (the Penn Wagers crew, in particular) flat-out aren't very good. OK, I'll grant that I suspect Wagers might tend to be a bit harder on the Dogs than he is on some other teams, but my main complaint in the calling of games in the conference is that they're overly strict on some calls (the controversial targeting rule being a prime example) and turn a blind eye to others (chiefly offensive holding) while inconsistently calling many other violations. And the conference really needs to give a hard look at the way the video replay officials operate. What can UGA do? Keep sending those videos to the conference office and perhaps now that the regular season is over have a sit-down with conference officials to express their displeasure with the level of officiating. And that's about it, unfortunately.
Chris Pugh writes: Bill I know I'm beating a dead horse here, but do you think UGA will ever build a indoor practice field? I mean, come on, Duke has indoor practice field! I think that's pretty sad and pathetic that schools like Duke, Vandy and Georgia Tech have indoor practice field and we don't, especially knowing how much money this program brings in on a yearly basis.
I think UGA will one day have an indoor practice facility. But unless Mark Richt wants to make it a priority I don't expect it to happen any time soon. As has been noted here before, a decade ago Richt was agitating for an indoor facility but then he opted to take a reworked weight room as part of the renovated Butts-Mehre facility instead. Another complication: Basically, there's no room in the current Woodruff Practice Fields for such a facility, which means it would have to be built out near the soccer and softball stadiums. There's only a couple of times per season when such a facility actually is needed, which makes the estimated cost of $20 million to build one look a bit over the top. Still, there's no doubt that the lack of one at UGA probably is noticed by recruits. "It would be nice to have a practice facility indoor," Richt said back in the spring. "I don't think we have to have it, but like I said it would be nice to have it." But until he gets a bit more gung-ho on the issue, it's likely to remain on the wish list.
Kevin Howard writes: Bill, I have the answer about Georgia and its unfortunate spate of injuries and bad luck, including the targeting call in the Vandy game … and, of course, the immaculate deflection. How can Dawg Nation expect good things when Coach Richt endorses Ford while Uga IX is a Chevy fan? A house divided, it is! I can't really see a bulldog pushing a Ram, so perhaps we can settle on a Tundra. How can we have team unity, esprit de corps, and good ole fashioned Dawg karma, when Richt and Russ are competing with one another?
Hmmmm. And there I was blaming the bad luck on my switching game day shirts! I don't know about Russ, but Richt obviously has financial reasons for favoring his brand of wheels. As for which brand might bring more good karma, how about compromising with a switch to Mack trucks —I like their distinctive logo. Woof!
That's it for now. I'll be on vacation next week, but when the Blawg returns we'll look ahead to the Dogs' bowl game.

The D was very, very young. We had guys playing that should have had a couple of more years experience and weight lifting. We will be better next year, but we still need a great recruiting year and some help from the freshmen. And let's not forget the biggest problem was the back end, and they were riddled with injuries the entire year. Having said that, I think we had one of Georgia's best offenses ever going into the season. 5 of our top 8 receivers had significant injuries, as did our two top TBs, and we lost the top passer (on many stats) the SEC has ever seen. We still did well, and that is pretty shocking. Ultimately though, special teams, turnovers, injuries, and a young defense knocked us back to an average Georgia season. Had we done better in those departments, as everybody hoped and expected, we could very well be undefeated and number 1 heading into the game today! What might have been–four sad words. The Dawgs will press on, but you have to consider the cost of the little things, as well as the big stuff you can't control!

Russell decommit = garner 1 Wilson 0………….this defense just can't learn this system because Grantham still thinks he is coaching the Dallas cowboys. He is giving them to much and they have learned very little. Maybe we will get lucky next year and actually learn how to line up. Smh.
December 7th, 2013
10:56 am
So, if CTG defense has a poor showing in the bowl game, will we still use the excuse that we are young. He will have had a summer camp, 12 games, and a couple of weeks of bowl practice to mature this defense.
December 7th, 2013
10:58 am
I would also add in retrospect that the refs had their worst year I can ever remember. Throwing games with horrible calls, not calling obvious targeting and roughing the passer calls. Calling game changing targeting fouls when they were perfect hits with the shoulder pads. The bad part is that they are contributing to injuries imo. The pass interference calls are just anybody's guess–you never know in the SEC this year. Sometimes they allow the D back to tackle or hold the receiver while the ball is in the air, and sometimes they don't. They called a key leaping foul on us when a 300 pound monster jumped about 6 inches off the ground, and yet I saw players leaping on many of the kicks I watched this year. They called a key penalty on one of our players for stomping the ground, yet I have never seen that called elsewhere and I saw players doing it the whole year. Just a terrible year for the refs, and particularly against Georgia. It really looked like some of the crews were determined to change the outcome of some of the games.
December 7th, 2013

I was more disappointed with the performance of the defense last season. With 7 players that went in the NFL draft including 2 first rounders they should have been lights out but were just as inconsistent as this year's younger squad. There is a tremendous gulf between coaching college kids and channeling their emotions correctly versus the pros with money as their incentive.
December 7th, 2013
10:59 am
My big complaint is special teams…kickoffs and punt returns are a zero sum game for us..the lack of a special teams coach is glaring..it cost us the clemson game and contributed mightily to us losing to vandy
December 7th, 2013
11:02 am
oldfart—- right on right on I think its 8 players off of the 2012 defense that made NFL rosters. 7 drafted and 1 as a undrafted free agent.
December 7th, 2013
11:03 am
Fish dawg, yes you can't make 18 year olds into 21 year olds. We don't have a senior on our defense, and I have never seen so many true freshman. If you want to knock something, knock the recruiting hole. Our run D seems improved over last year to me. Our pass D needs a lot of work, and we need better pressure. Overall, I think UGA will have a good D next year.
December 7th, 2013
11:03 am
The defensive numbers don't lie. As said many times the fact that there is not signifiant improvement is the proof in the pudding, coaching. The first half tackling of the AU game was a pure embarrassment. It is time to make a change now. An average coorfinator at half the cost couldn't do any worse.
December 7th, 2013
11:08 am
CHDawg— good point, They need to be hitting the weight room hard this off season. I hope the tv's in the weight room have a running loop of all the defensive mistakes and our opponents big plays and scoring plays while they are working out.
December 7th, 2013
11:14 am
If the best thing that you can say about Todd Grantham is "you don't consider him a complete failure", not only is that an indication of his lack of success, but it is the primary reason that he should go. I believe that he will be gone to the NFL, maybe as DC of the Dallas Cowboys, I don't think his job performance would be accepted at Kentucky, which finished last in the SEC East. Why would it be accepted at Georgia, which thinks of itself as a potential national title contender? Unless we are being sold a bill of goods about the potential to win in Athens.
December 7th, 2013
11:14 am
biggest issue is that while Grantham has knowledge, somehow/someway it is not translating to our D. Missed this and missed that, someone is not doing their job. Not sure if we need another coach to break down and decipher what CTG is trying to implement to our players. All this talent and they put up horrible stats.
December 7th, 2013
11:15 am
Just wait on Muschamp, he will be available soon. Im glad we got Roof, not great but definite improvement.
December 7th, 2013
11:15 am
Our defense is a joke! We have "clowns" coaching our team!
December 7th, 2013
11:16 am
CHDawg—-you speak of a "recruiting hole". You are right. Its called roster management. That falls on CMR,his coordinaters, and his recruiting coordinater.
December 7th, 2013
11:18 am
Remember a few seasons ago we had many fans wanting a new OC. It looks as though CMR was correct. Next year could very well be the turning point on our Defense. Two of our biggest playmakers in the secondary were unable to play against Tech (Trey Matthews, Shaq Wiggins). With our steady improvement in rushing the passers the secondary will play much better next year. As a Dawg Fan for over 50 years I am predicting a Championship Season in 2014. GO DAWGS!!!
December 7th, 2013

Oldfart i agree about last years defense, bunch of all about me guys who halfassed their way to the draft to avoid any $$$ losing injuries.

GURLEY makes Bobo look better than he is.
December 7th, 2013

Also, why do we have to get down by 20 to AU and GT to open up the play book?
December 7th, 2013
11:25 am
Fish, I agree, but that was the real problem. It wasn't CTG's schemes, his calls, or any of the other theories imho. It was a lack of depth last year, which means we had to play too many young players this year. It wasn't just roster mgmt either. Just think how different our D would have looked had Marshall and Sanders been starting this year! UGA has lost a lot of talent to injuries and discipline, and maybe that is the luck of the draw and maybe it is on CMR. I think CMR cares more about the character of the players than most if not all other SEC coaches, so I don't know that blaming him for player's bad decisions is appropriate.

Our players need to be training instead of out in bars and at clubs.
December 7th, 2013
11:31 am
Here is the bottom line…..you can't give up 35 points per game and expect to win. This year we had a quarterback that bulled us back to win a few games in the last moments…..we won't have that experience next year. So, to win next year, something drastically has to happen on defense…..Alabama does not give up 35 points per game…..maybe that is the key to success….da

You need to harp on something else besides officiating. Even the SEC won't let UGAG pick their own officials.

Mulk, I am just telling the truth. Sorry you don't like that. You a Tech fan, or an SEC official?
December 7th, 2013
11:36 am
When you play as many walk ons as we do on special teams, the outcome is obvious. We have a walk on running back to get in the way of our kick returner, and at 150lbs he cannot(will not) block anybody. When he finally tried to block somebody at Tech, he was decleated twice. That is poor coaching. Only until we get serious about our special teams, they will be putrid.
December 7th, 2013
11:39 am
Special teams did in an undefeated and excellent Alabama team this year, too. It almost got them in last year's SECCG, too. It ain't easy to cover all the bases!
December 7th, 2013
11:56 am
Just my opinion but I think the issue is less about coaching and more about inexperience in critical positions. We lost Rambo, Ogletree and Jones… they WERE the D. Next year, things should improve quite a lot.
December 7th, 2013
12:04 pm
Next year…….here we go with next year…..why do you expect anything to change?
December 7th, 2013

When UGA starts recruiting some dominant linemen on both sides of the ball, we will see an improvement on the number of wins.
December 7th, 2013
12:09 pm
Grantum is coach cornbread…hs defense always crumbles.
The first few years it was wait until he gets his type players.
Then it was well those NFL caliber players din't gie 100%
This year was were too young.
The reason is TG can't coordinate a defense, he might be a great postion coach in the NFL but he is not an elite coordinator in college..thus the poor performances of our defenses which will continue in 2014.
December 7th, 2013
12:12 pm
Special teams lost 2 games for us this year: Clemson an Vanderbilt.
Missouri was just a better team and the best team won.
Auburn was lost on a kid's mistake and we all make mistakes.
We knew the offense was going to have to carry the defense this year going into the season because we replaced 8 starters from last year's team. And we lost defensive starters during the year including 3 during practice the week before the Tec game.
I think we did pretty good considering the injuries and the defense will be much better next year with the experience. Grantham is a great coach and we are fortunate to have him. Compare him to Willy Martnez and there is a world of difference.
This story should have never been written and the AJC needs to drop the subject. You are just giving the Tech trolls more fodder to post as disgruntled Dawg fans.
Let's go win a bowl game.
December 7th, 2013
12:13 pm
The philosophy that needs changing is the total lack of consideration of how important the special teams can be toward winning a ball game. When was the last time GA had a punt return much less a punt return for a TD. When was the last time GA had a KO for a TD…When did Ga ever block a field goal to score. Defense also stays more time on the field because of our Offense so great.
December 7th, 2013
12:13 pm
Tried to warn them about that next year stuff, dont go their. There is nothing in this world that you cant put off until next year.

Next year we are going to beat the dawgs. Now you got me doing it.
December 7th, 2013
12:15 pm
Grantham is a great if NFL doesn't grab him, they love guys who force more turnovers than Saban over last 4 years.
Grantham's scoring defense:
2010- top 35
2011- top 25
2012- top 20
Other thing I look at is turnovers, and nobody over last 4 years doe4s it better, including Nick Saban. Grantham's forced 102 turnovers, Saban 92.
Bobo–I got issues. He struggles in 3 of 4 key metrics:
1) rush off–usually 7th or worse in sec 2010-2013
2) sacks allowed–below average 2010-2013
3) turnovers- bottom of pile 2010-2013
4) passing- top 3 in conference 2010-2013,,,at what price?
December 7th, 2013
12:18 pm
We finished 98th in turnover margin, won all SEC games where we had a + turnover since 2012 (7-0), went 1-9 over same period when a – turnover margin
If Mark Richt doesn't fix this in 2014, I'll call for him to be fired on every blog known to mankind.
December 7th, 2013
12:20 pm
Mike Bobo is confused–he wants to be measured by passing stats. The problem is, that's not how you win the SEC. They other problem is he stinks in nearly every other offensive measure like rush offense, sacks allowed and turnovers.
It's his tendancy to cough up turnovers that has the biggest effect on wins/losses. Nobody will ever hire him as a Head Coach until his offenses get this fixed.
December 7th, 2013
12:21 pm
Case in point:
Aaron Murray in SEC was either 15th, 11th or 15th in interceptions over last 3 seasons.
That\s a stat worthy of being fired. Lucky he's still employed.
December 7th, 2013
12:33 pm
gtcaryd…….only marginally satisfied w/ Roof are you? I would take him now w/ the talent the Dawgs have. He is the best coach on the staff and one of the top 'D' coordinators in America. GT fans are never happy. You have a great one in Roof, count your blessings, pal.
December 7th, 2013
12:39 pm
what defense? We don't have "no stinking defense." Go Dawgs, still love them. So we got rid of Auburn's criminal quarterback and LSU's criminal quarterback………..we still have ethics, unlike the teams that took those 2 crimes.
December 7th, 2013
12:41 pm
Jeff Myers said exactly what I feel! Love love love my Dawgs, graduated from UGA in 1995, and have been going to games since age 4. Injuries were an issue, but they weren't on defense. Our guys failed to tackle, period. Most of them (especially Wilson) gave 100%, but if you can't tackle, it's a problem. Not only that, but continuing to allow Swann to play is something I'll never understand. I'll be a die hard Dawg til I die, but something has to change with the defense. It can't be the players' fault 100% of the time. Coaches need to be held accountable.
December 7th, 2013
12:42 pm
Bad defense, out of shape players and poor nutrition all make up weak dawgs. CJT should be on the hot seat as well.
December 7th, 2013
12:53 pm
I just could not understand in the Auburn game when we again went into a prevent defense and only rushed three lineman, actually 2 because the noseguard actually stood up and acted as if he was shadowing Nick Marshall. Marshall gets the ball away with no issues and a freak play happens. Auburn on the other hand when we get the ball and are driving on the last play rushes 4 lineman and Murray gets hammered as he is releasing the ball,from what I understand if he has time he has guys open in the end zone. Grantham has done that many times and Dawgs have been burned numerous times, we had been playing up at the end of the game and to back off the rush seemed plain stupid to me. Put the pressur on him and make him make the plays. Even if Grantham is a great defensive mind he can't get it accross to the players….. let him go………
December 7th, 2013
12:58 pm
I've looked at the stats of every game from the last several seasons. I can't see where Bobo has thrown an INT or had a fumble. Explain to me again how the turnovers are his fault.
December 7th, 2013
1:08 pm
My biggest gripe with Richt has always been the offensive line. This is one area for which there is no excuse. Sign the big boys, hang a redshirt on them, put them in the weight room for a couple of years, and you should have a steady supply of redshirt JRs and SRs starting that have thousands of reps before they hit the field.
I think Grantham does a decent job in the box with the linebackers and line. Defensive backs seem to be the weak spot. In the past, athleticism let UGA get away with poor coaching. Not so much this year. Too many times this year I have seen receivers get behind the safeties or receivers catching a ball and there is not a defender within 10 yards. It's not like UGA was in perfect coverage and the QB made an amazing throw.
As far as the refs go, we fans have always had our issues with them. Forty years ago, we were complaining about the refs. Forty years from now, we will be complaining about them. That said, when mild mannered Richt gets a penalty over a call, you know something was wrong.
December 7th, 2013
1:25 pm
I think most of us agree…Grantham has failed to deliver what we are looking for…a defense that forces a lot of three and outs…we had very few 3 and outs in most of our games this season. I do think (hope!) that next year our defense will be vastly improved as the players will be a little older, stronger, and should know the system. Almost every player returns and they have the required physical talent to get the job done, so hopefully we will see a lot more 3 and outs. As challenging as it has been with Grantham, it was much worse under Martinez. In those days, we had NO CHANCE against Florida or other good offensive teams because our defense was TOTALLY clueless. On another note, why is the situation with men's basketball being ignored? UGA should be competitive in every sport and watching our men's BB team is often painful. This should be a make it or break it year for Coach Fox.

THE mother of Grand Slam tennis champion Andy Murray held a sports workshop at an Odiham infant school.
Judy Murray, whose son Andy won the US Open last September and is ranked number one in British tennis, visited Buryfields Infant School.
The visit came about because Year 2 pupil Miles Raven won a competition to design a sports activity using household items.
The competition was organised by Set4Sport, an organisation founded by Mrs Murray and supported by RBS, with the purpose of showcasing the games played by Andy and his brother Jamie as children.
The programme, using everyday objects, is available through a free book and website, and she showed the various activities to children at Buryfields.
Mrs Murray said: "It's a collection of fun games that can be played at home and is aimed at getting parents to play actively at home with their children. It's all the things that Jamie and Andy and I thought up when they were little and you can play them using household objects such as cereal boxes or empty tins of beans. It's going back to basics and getting kids active."
She added: "Andy and Jamie developed their co-ordination skills and became very well-co-ordinated so that whatever sport they wanted to try, they would be good at it."
Jacqui Jennings, headteacher at the school, said: "We did so much this year on the Olympics and Para-lympics and sport had a high profile in the school, so to build on that with this activity is excellent."

Bought a Single Family home in 2012 for approximately $650K in Atwater Village, Los Angeles, CA.
I just recently bought a home in Atwater and Peter Bennett of LA Home team served as my agent. I could have not asked for more attentive, knowledgeable, and responsive service. He was extremely knowledgeable of Los Angeles neighborhoods and wise in navigating the process, every step of the way. I firmly believe that my experience would have been far more difficult had I not been represented by such a gracious and committed real estate group. I highly recommend LA Home Team to all who are looking to buy a home in Los Angeles.

Showed home in 2012 in Del Rey, Ladera Heights, CA 90230.
I became interested in buying a condo to diversify my assets when interest rates hit an all time low. Peter Bennett came highly recommended by a friend who had a very positive experience with him. As a first time buyer, I was very anxious about the investment and process. Peter has surprisingly put me at ease by clearly listening to me, guiding me in the right direction, helping me understand the process, and being impressively responsive.

Coming up, we'll talk about tonight's upcoming Springfield City Council Committee of the Whole Meeting, including a special meeting to determine water restrictions. Take the poll: Should Springfield implement a residency requirement for city employees?
Plus, just after 10:30, we'll talk to Julio Rausseo about the Transportation Security Administration invading a Chicago train station. See the video below:
Julio also talked about a New Jersey report saying people taking notes is a possible threat. Read that document here.
Then after 11, Karen Sheley, an attorney with the ACLU of Illinois will join the show to talk about license plate reading technology used by police. Last year I shot video of Springfield Police testing the equipment. See that video below:

Tampa Bay Downs in the Community
In the last nine years alone, Tampa Bay Downs has given back to the community more than $1,000,000 in donations to local organizations. Tampa Bay Downs has concentrated its focus in this effort on children's charities that are helping in our immediate footprint. The list includes organizations that provide educational scholarships, child care for abused youth, recreational opportunities, recreational camps for the challenged, horseback riding for the challenged, hospital comfort visits for terminal children and lastly, the Thoroughbred industry through research grants, retirement programs and jockey health and safety initiatives.

Children's Home Society of Florida (Joshua House), Tampa $153,078.87
Joshua House is a safe haven for abused, abandoned, and neglected children, offering a therapeutic residential group care program that provides a protected, nurturing, family-like environment for children ages 6-17.

Rotary's Camp Florida $207,340.10
Continually fosters children with special needs and challenges to realize their full potential while at the camp, despite any obstacle they may face. The camp and its staff work very hard to ensure the best possible camping experience for these special-needs children so they can return home with memories of new friends and exciting times for as long as they live. While encouraging campers to enjoy nature, learn about, master and share their challenges, Rotary's Camp Florida allows them to grow in character, self-confidence and determination.
Upper Tampa Bay Education Foundation $185,209.36

Operated by the Hillsborough County Parks, Recreation and Conservation Department, the program provides group riding lessons, trail rides, carriage riding, parties and special events. Physically impaired and developmentally delayed riders have the opportunity to compete in Challenged horse shows and Special Olympics. Riding provides them with increased self-esteem, balance, coordination and improved attention span. Speech and social interaction, trunk control and special awareness are also enhanced. All types of disabilities are served, including some that are severe and profound.

Colorado Exchange Watchdog Likes What It Sees
WebMD News from Kaiser Health News
Mon, Sep 09 2013
Colorado lawmakers overseeing the set-up of the state's health insurance exchange are generally pleased with how it's going, but they are worried some residents will still be "left out in the cold," without insurance even if the exchange works well.
Colorado is one of 16 states and the District of Columbia that chose to set up its own exchange, via a bipartisan bill the state passed in 2011. Republicans agreed to vote for it only if it included a special legislative oversight committee that would allow a majority to block exchange funding requests.
That hasn't happened yet, but oversight committee hearings have been testy in the past. Not so last Thursday, the final hearing before the exchange's opening day October 1. It was remarkable for the praise members from both parties heaped upon exchange leadership.
Creating an exchange "was not something I was convinced was the right thing to do," said Republican Rep. Bob Gardner, who voted against the exchange bill, "but (I) have become convinced."
He said he has been impressed with exchange leaders, and observed, at the hearing's end, that the exchange "is on a road to success."
Most committee members did express confidence that "Connect for Health Colorado" appears ready to start enrolling Coloradans Oct. 1 and to connect those eligible for subsidies to that new benefit. Committee members also praised public outreach and education efforts.
But Republican Sen. Kevin Lundberg remains deeply skeptical of anything associated with the Affordable Care Act, and he pointed to "train wrecks" he sees coming.
One both he and Democrats on the committee expressed concern about access to premium subsidies for family coverage for employees of small businesses.
According to federal rules, workers can decline employer-sponsored coverage and possibly get federal subsidies to shop on the exchange if their employer's plan is not "affordable," meaning it costs more than 9.5 percent of their income. But that rule is based on the cost of individual health plans. If a worker is offered both an affordable individual plan, and a family plan that costs more than 9.5 percent of income, the worker's family is ineligible for premium subsidies.
"Why are you putting up with this?" asked Lundberg, who called it a "perverse effect on low income people who have a job."
"Do not put up with this," Lundberg told exchange leaders. "I'm sure this is a federal rule. If this is a rule you guys came up with, I will scold you."
"This might be something we want to think about drafting a letter (to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services) to address," said Sen. Irene Aguilar, the committee chairwoman who is a Democrat and a backer of the ACA.

Eleven-year-old Sabrina Grimm and her kid sister Daphne have been on their own ever since their parents disappeared a year ago. Hoisted from one foster home to another, the girls—especially Sabrina—are tough, quick, and independent. When a woman claiming to be their Grandmother Grimm takes them into her home, Sabrina is suspicious. Their parents told them their grandparents were dead, and no twinkly-eyed lady is going to win her over that easily. Daphne, on the other hand, is enthralled with Granny Relda—because this strange woman also claims that the Grimms are descended from none other than the fairy tale-writing brothers Grimm, and that the family's long-time duty has been to solve crimes committed by and against the unusual inhabitants of the town of Ferryport Landing. By unusual Granny really means magical, because the townsfolk are straight out of every fairy tale and childhood classic you've ever read, from Prince Charming to Puck to the Three Pigs. And these "Everafters" can cause a lot of trouble—which becomes all too clear when Granny Relda goes missing. Now, like Harry Potter going from Muggle to magician, it is up to Sabrina and Daphne to embrace their untapped magical sides, save that little old lady, and keep their family—such as it is—together. Author Michael Buckley is very clever in his use of fairy tales personalities, but even if your knowledge of storybook folk is a little rusty, there's still plenty of madcap adventure and tongue-in-cheek wit to go around.

I thought that this book was awesome!!!!!!:^) It is filled with action. If you liked fairy tales when you were little, like JACK AND THE BEANSTALK, Cinderalla, Bueaty and The Beast, those kind of books, this book is perfect! It is about 2 sisters and their parents are mysteriously kidnapped one night. They are taken to their grandma's house, whom they think is dead. Then, things start to happen. People killed. Smashed houses. Everthing.

Last century, earthquakes killed over one million, and it is predicted that this century might see ten times as many deaths. Yet when an earthquake strikes, it always takes people by surprise.
So why hasn't science worked out how to predict when and where the next big quake is going to happen? This is the story of the men and women who chase earthquakes and try to understand this mysterious force of nature.
Journeying to China's Sichuan Province, which still lies devastated by the earthquake that struck in May 2008, as well as the notorious San Andreas Fault in California, Horizon asks why science has so far fallen short of answering this fundamental question.
