It's good to have the football Dawgs back from spring break and in full pads in Athens.
On offense, the week off from school allowed running backs Keith Marshall and Brandon Harton to return to the field having only missed three practices, and already some spring superlatives are being thrown around on the young defense, with Josh Harvey-Clemons, Tray Matthews and Sterling Bailey drawing favorable mention.
And Mike Bobo sounded confident and comfortable talking with reporters (though I hope he isn't really giving his children the idea that a sausage biscuit and a Yoo-hoo is the breakfast of champions).
As usual, spring practice is a time when optimism among the fan base runs pretty high, but even taking that into account I'm pretty pumped about a couple of Mark Richt's likely playmakers and the way they're approaching the coming season: Aaron Murray and Jordan Jenkins.
Let's face it, when it comes to work ethic, Murray is something of a freak. The kid's already got his undergrad degree and is working in a joint master's-doctoral program. He's likely to leave UGA owning most school and conference records as a passer. But despite already being the only quarterback in SEC history to throw for 3,000 yards in three consecutive seasons, Murray still doesn't have an SEC championship ring. So he passed up having fun at the beach on spring break and instead went to Norman, Okla., to work on polishing his game with private quarterbacking coach George Whitfield, who's worked with the likes of Ben Roethlisberger, Cam Newton and Johnny Manziel.
Murray talked with CBSSports.com about working on things like his consistency and pocket presence and tweaking his upper body rotation in his throwing motion to create more velocity in his passes.
"It was a great week," Murray said. "I've really learned a lot."
Dedication like that not only offers the promise of a top-notch quarterback getting even better in his senior year, but provides the kind of example that younger players hopefully will emulate: the desire to do whatever is necessary to improve on what you've already done.
One of those younger players who's embracing the challenges of the upcoming season is Jenkins, who many college football observers expect to pick up where Jarvis Jones left off.
That's a pretty tall order for any player, but from what Jenkins told Chris Low of ESPN.com recently, he's eager to take it on.
"I know my role is going to have to expand and that this defense is going to need me to do a lot of the great things that Jarvis did and some of the previous pass-rushers in this defense did," Jenkins said. "If you're going to play this spot in this defense, you have to be a playmaker and you have to make the kind of plays that take the air out of the other team. … It's up to me to take the lead now that Jarvis, Alec [Ogletree] and all those other guys are gone, but that's what I came here to do."
To do that, Jenkins said he's working on getting off the ball quicker. "I waited too much this past season for the lineman to come off and would then react to that. I can already tell in our first few practices that I've gotten quicker with my first step and am not waiting for the lineman to come off the ball to react. I feel like I'm the one that's dictating things instead of waiting."
Opening at Clemson might seem kind of daunting for a defense that's replacing most of its starters, but Jenkins doesn't sound intimidated at all. "We've all got to have it rolling going into the season, and I cannot wait to get to Death Valley and get this season started," he told ESPN.
I like the sound of that.
Speaking of spring break, as I mentioned last week my wife and I spent part of the week visiting our UGA grad son, who's getting another master's degree, this time at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill.
During a walking tour of the lovely campus conducted by my son Bill (sporting a red UGA cap), we went into Kenan Memorial Stadium, which sort of has the feel of the Sanford Stadium of my younger days. It even sports hedges, though they don't go all the way around the field like in Athens. The similarity isn't really surprising when you consider that the stadiums both date from the 1920s and the original layouts of both Kenan and Sanford were designed by the same man: T.C. Atwood.
One thing I particularly liked about Kenan was its liberal use of Carolina blue. I wish there was more red in Sanford — I miss the days when the seats were red (except for a black "G" in the center sections).
I also was a bit surprised to see that at UNC, a school that prides itself on its academic reputation, there's actually a campus statue of a football player, Charlie "Choo Choo" Justice. Meanwhile, UGA, which has a much greater football history than North Carolina, has no statue of the likes of Frankie Sinkwich, Charley Trippi or Herschel Walker.
Something for campus planners in Athens to ponder …

I'm not hearing much about Amarlo Herrea on the defensive side. Of course it's early but this kid has all the goods to be better than Tree. Why the silence?

Thanks for the update. So ready for the season already. You are correct in our observations of Kenan. I grew up on Chapel Hill and went to UGA. I have been going to Kenan for over 30 years, great place to watch a game.

I totally agree with the lack of statues of the past UGA greats. Also, why not make all the seats red? Probably some liberal up there saying, "We can't do that because we don't want to offend the visiting fan base.." Why I outta!

I am glad to hear that AM continues working hard to get better. That said, I hope he is focusing as much on his touch on his passes as he is trying to get more zip on the ball from torquing his upper body. I realize he is trying to get more velocity with less motion in the pocket, but I don't seem to recall many missed connections being the result of underthrown balls. I'd like to see him emulate the mistake-free finesse Greenie had his senior year.

Bill, would love to see a column filled with interviews with players commenting about how disciplined they will be, both on and off the field this year (obviously this column is only possible if the team truly feels this way, which is really what I want to see). With CMR at the helm and leaders like AM passing up the debauchery of Spring Break in order to improve, I feel like a good tone has been set for this year–and to the best of my knowledge, we skated through the SB period without incident. We've had the talent for years, but we now need the attitude. Here's hoping we have both this year.
March 20th, 2013
11:34 am
AM will be the defining factor for the Dawgs success for the 2013 season. He and the O will have to carry the D at least for the first 3-4 games then hopefully the D will have gained enough experience to take some of the pressure off AM and the rest of the O.
AM may need some fine tuning in how he throws the ball but hopefully he picked something up from his training trip to OK on remaining calm in the pocket and cutting down on the T/O's. He's going to be tested early on w/the likes of Clem, SC and LSU. I thought he did well vs AL and showed poise under pressure. He'll need a lot of help from his OL which should be better this season w/all LM returning.
This upcoming season is going to be very interesting and exciting to watch especially if the D coaches get these young players and the few vets to play above and beyond last seasons departing players. We'll find out early on whether they can hold their own and play good enough to keep their opponents out of the end zone while allowing the O to put points on the board. If the D surprises and the O doesn't sputter this season may be one for the books.

The key to Jenkins success this season will be the development of a weakside pass rush. Teams were releasing the backside to add another blocker at the point of attack because they were not concerned that the play would be run down from behind and they were confident their LT could handle whoever was coming off the edge on the weakside. This meant that teams could double team JJ with a back if they needed to.
Everybody thought the sky was falling when Justin Houston left early. Nobody really thought that JJ could fill his shoes much less be considerably better. Jordan Jenkins has the potential to be in the neighborhood of how dominant JJ was. There is good reason why Grantham is excited about the kid. No one really knows how it will turn out but I am thinking that Jordan Jenkins will be a major star.
Aaron Murray is a workaholic. He is pretty close to obsessive. I am hoping that he can get this under control because he has tried too hard in every big game he has played in EXCEPT the SEC Championship. If he has matured enough to get past squeezing the bar of soap too hard…watch out.
His struggles have come directly from trying too hard. If you press at the plate in baseball you struggle. Chances are that if you are struggling with your shot in basketball it is because you are pressing. There comes a point where just trusting yourself to be able to do it rather than critiquing every aspect of your game. Perhaps the confidence gained from the camp will translate to "just do it" rather than seeking perfection.

I believe most of us are certain Aaron has the skills. Heck with the yardage he has piled up, it would be foolish to argue otherwise. I don't believe he's the kind of guy who has to swagger to make himself feel better about himself. Just the opposite really. I would like to see him have the poise and confidence that he surely is entitled to have at this point. All the best to you, Aaron. Relax and enjoy it all.

There goes GT Bob running his proverbial mouth again. Oh well, what can you expect. Last season, the Offense proved they could score quickly which doesn't give the Defense much time to rest. The D will need to rest til they used to the season before opening it up. I do expect a good year for the DAWGS!!

GTNerd, George Whitfield definitely didn't need to spend any time mentoring Murray on how to win the Tech game.

Yep, you will always beat GT. Something to hang your hat on. I would think you would strive for a little more than that though.

GT Sponge Bobbie is the biggest wuss afiliated with tech. I guess beating a #2 UF team to solidify a 2nd trip to the SEC CG was a meaningless game. Of course any game that UGA plays against GT is a meaningless game. I personally wish UGA would drop tech and pick up Clemson or FSU instead. Talk about killing a strength in schedule. That's why Ga. Southern won't play tech.
March 20th, 2013

Moron, we won the SEC East last year and were 5 yards from the National Championship game. It's safe to say we're striving for a little more than beating lowly Tech.

We don't hang our hat on beating tech. Your in your own little world wussie Sponge Bobbie. Of course most people think their teams are going to improve throughout college football. Your so sorry to have any expectations about tech. You envy UGA football program so much. Go on the tech blog and talk to your own. WUSS!

No one cares about division winners and no one cares if you almost accomplished something. That is a complete loser mentality when you are excited about almost winning a conference or almost making a championship game.

I guess beating a #2 UF team to solidify a 2nd trip to the SEC CG was a meaningless game.
Unfortunately, no one believes that Florida was actually the #2 team in the country. They got exposed pretty bad against Louisville and were close to losing to several bad teams. On top of that they had to turn the ball over every play to give you guys a chance.

Your so full of it GT Sponge Bobbie. They won which is more than tech could say. They beat SC & LSU & A&M. Whine all you want, but UGA had the #5 team in nation last year and almost had a chance to win it all if it was not for a great play by the Bama defender.
March 20th, 2013
3:43 pm
"No one cares about division winners and no one cares if you almost accomplished something."
Yeah, that's why Moobs went out and bought rings, whistle rings at that, for the team when they beat UGA. So yea right. They must not have cared. Your such a dope!

The guy who thinks UGA had a great season because they almost beat Alabama is lecturing me on moral victories? Sorry but every time you guys spout the whole 5 yards short thing everyone laughs. Thinking you were actually one of the 5 best teams in the country is pretty laughable too. What does that make South Carolina?

Bill – It's March Madness , UGA football is on the back burner – and Murray will choke it up again in the SEC – and you are going to play a partial SEC football schedule this year
Go ahead – tell me where the UGA BB team is in THE NCAA/NIT BB tournaments?
UGA – Still 5 yards short..If the choker Grantham had any defense, BAMA would not have had 350 yards on the ground.
Get with the National scene –
Go Gators…

I am not optimistic about Murray's chances of IMPROVEMENT.
Guess I'm more of a realist than most UGA homers, I wish Murray was about improvement, but after 3 years, in the BIG GAMES, which are ALL THAT REALLY COUNT, Murray CERTAINLY does NOT get better.
Against ranked teams, Murray is at or worse than his freshman year levels in accuracy, efficiency rating, turnovers.
Interceptions have gone from 8 in 2010 to 14 in 2011 to 12 in 2012. He's 50% worse than his freshman season.
Against teams that finish in the top 20, Murray's career record is 1 win and 10 losses.
In Bowl games, Murray is 1-2.
In Sec Championshiops, Murray is 0-2.
You'll need to look to a LEADER ELSEWHERE, Murray and the word IMPROVEMENT, do not link up in big games.
March 20th, 2013
4:39 pm
Against ranked teams, Aaron Murray went:
In accuracy
57 in 2010, 54 in 2011, 53 in 2012
Passing efficiency rating
133 in 2010, 128 in 2011, 133 in 2012
Passing yards
238 in 2010, 233 in 2011, 240 in 2012
3 in 2010, 6 in 2011, 7 in 2012
Basically, the more he plays, the worse he gets.

Duke, read my post further up the page. He tries too hard. That is way different than being a loser. You, like all supposed "realists" that puke up their negativity on these blogs, assume that things will always remain the same. All of you set it in stone that no one can ever improve if they don't do it within the time frame YOU set.
I guess you always improved immediately in every training you have ever undertaken. I guess that you think you were instantly good at everything you ever tried. I suppose that you never even considered that someone watching you in your job(s) might have thought YOU were never going to make it.
You sad sacks must be a load of fun to be around. I'd rather read GTBob… a known UGA antagonist… than a bunch of sad sack supposed UGA supporters. If you don't see anything good about the team go pull for someone else. It's really simple. Go find another fan site and frequent it instead of this one.

I agree that Sanford stadium needs color. It embarrasses me that Williams Brice now looks so much more polished and upscale than Sanford. We have the money – why not use it??? Carolina has done a great job on and around their stadium. There is no excuse for USC to out-class UGA!!!

I think it's funny how GTBoob relies on feedback from posters on this blog. Does the GT football team have a site he can go to? I highly doubt it. He stays on UGA blogs. So much jealousy, and hatred he can't get over it. UGA will beat Tech for the next 5-6 years easy. Probably longer. Tech can beat Presbyterian, Boston College, and UVA, but when they have to play the big dogs they can't hang. 42-3 at the end of the 3rd quarter. Big blowout. Dawgs own Tech and always will. Something tells me GTBoob knows that. Go Dawgs!
March 20th, 2013
6:00 pm
Other than the usual trolls, I'm very happy with the UGA team. They seem to have the right attitude towards the season and the team. Nobody got in trouble during SB and thats encouraging. Now during the summer will be the real story. No class, no football drills till August, etc. We'll see how they hold up then. If we make it to Clemson with our entire team ready to go and hungry, we'll win. If we're missing a few key players at key positions, we're gonna struggle.
Jordan Jenkins has already turned into a huge leader in only his sophomore season. He's gonna be a star. I love how he gets off the ball and if you watched him vs. Florida last year (his first start as a Dawg), he has tremendous stance and get off. He'll be a double digit sack guy.
As for Murray, well he'll pass for the usual 3,000 yards and 30+ touchdowns. Maybe 4,000 with the receivers we have and the backs that'll take pressure off him.
March 20th, 2013
6:11 pm
If Murray's 3 year history is any indication, against ranked teams, here's where Murray's numbers will end up in 2013:
accuracy will fall to 51%
passing effic 133
pass yards er game @238
interceptions 6-7 against ranked teams
In other words, Murray is still PERFORMING in his 3rd year, where he was in his 1st year at UGA.
Virtually no improvement, unless you look at silly games like New Mexico State.
Murray, the UGA QB who never beat his freshman numbers against ranked teams.
Thast's his legacy right now unless something radically different happens.
March 20th, 2013
6:17 pm
What is working hard? Watching videos? Whatever Murray's doing with his time is not translating to improvement against ranked teams, so he's not working on the right stuff, that's for sure.
Whatever hard work Murray is putting in has led to a 1-10 record against teams that finished in the top 20. It's not working. That's for certain.
March 20th, 2013
6:32 pm
One big problem with the new Oregon like fast break offense is, they don't control clock well, don't have long drives, so defense is very sluggish as games wear on and end up giving up 300+ yards rushing because they're so tired.
March 20th, 2013

I just hope Jenkins is not getting to over confident…..because they a lot of improving and learning to do. The 3-4 seems complicated, sometimes they couldn't even get lined up properly. If the o-line does well their is no way the offense won't succeed….. John rump is doing great….he is wearing former dawgs number 18….,Damian Gary.

Thanks for the update and perspective. Glad you had a great time in the "Southern Part of Heaven". I am a UGA transplant living in Chapel Hill. It really is a lovely place and is a close as you can be to living in Athens without actually being there. UNC has many more similarities to UGA than even Kenan Stadium including both claiming to be the "Oldest Land Grant University". Would have loved to given you some recommendations for while your were in town. You and I are of the same generation. I am BS Chemistry-Biochemisty '84. If you are back in town, would love to buy you a beer at Top of the Hill

A UGA hater? Not me. Just saying I am not a fan of Murray staying at where he was when he was a freshman against ranked teams in accuracy, yards, passer effic, and worse in interceptions. Also, not a fan of Murray's 1-10 record vs ranked teams.
Apparently, many homers love going 1-10 vs. ranked teams, and love a Qb who never improves against ranked teams over his freshman season.
Not a Murray fan, but a BIG UGA fan.
March 20th, 2013

Any blogger here that acts happy with Murray's 1 win 10 loss record against teams that finish top 20, must be a South Carolina fan, hoping Murray continues to start.

Duke just shut up about murrays stats…….everybody knows he has to cut down oh the turnovers….also in these big games…you don't think the oline and defense deserve some blame for the losses in a these big games????

Zeke Bratkowsi, Johnny Rauch,Eric Zeier and now AM.
These guys were record setting QBs in their respective eras but they won nothing for UGA.
The first two QBs made minor names in the old NFL and Rauch coached in the NFL.
To win big in the SEC, you need a grind g running game accented by a QB that CAN THROW as needed. FSU style does not win in the SEC.

"It Is Better to Marry Than to Burn With Passion"—What Does This Mean?
Piper briefly discusses 1 Corinthians 7:9 in the sermon "Marriage, Singleness, and the Christian Virtue of Hospitality":
I should say just one brief word about that infamous sentence in 1 Corinthians 7:9: "If they cannot exercise self-control, they should marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion." Remember, this is addressed explicitly to men and women (v. 8). And here is the one thing I want to say about it: When a person seeks to be married, knowing that as a single he or she would "burn with passion," it doesn't have to mean that marriage becomes a mere channel for the sex drive. Paul would never mean that in view of Ephesians 5.
Instead when a person marries—let me simply use the man as an example—he takes his sexual desire, and he does the same thing with it that we must all do with all our physical desires if we would make them means of worship—1) he brings it into conformity to God's word; 2) he subordinates it to a higher pattern of love and care; 3) he transposes the music of physical pleasure into the music of spiritual worship, 4) he listens for the echoes of God's goodness in every nerve; 5) he seeks to double his pleasure by making her joy his joy; and 6) he gives thanks to God from the bottom of his heart because he knows and he feels that he never deserved one minute of this pleasure.

An apparent surge in infant deaths in Vernal is raising alarms for environmental groups that question whether air pollution, largely attributable to oil and gas production, is to blame.
Families in this boom town in northeastern Utah are beginning to wonder, too.
"I've lost one child, and I don't want to lose another," said 34-year-old Caren Moon, who miscarried in November 2013. "It's a horrible thing. No matter when in the pregnancy it happens, it's a loss for the whole family."
Area health officials, with an assist from Utah epidemiologists, are examining data from birth and death certificates and Utah's fetal death registry to determine whether mothers in the tri-county Uinta Basin region have worse-than-average birth outcomes.
This is a first step, they say, before considering a costly — and, some say, impractical — environmental study.
But some in the community worry the proposed design of the initial data search is flawed.
At issue is the timeliness of the data.
The most recent year of vital statistics available is 2012 — but the suspected uptick in neonatal births happened in 2013.
"My faith in the local health system is damaged a little bit," said Donna Young, a Vernal midwife whose preliminary search of obituaries and mortuary records gave rise to the probe. "I would love to be proven wrong. But it seems the reason this study was set up the way it was is so that in six months time they can come back and say, 'There's not a problem,' and we all go on with our lives."
Young began her obituary research after a mother in her care lost a baby last May — Young's first stillbirth in 19 years of serving as a midwife. Young documented 11 instances in 2013 when a Vernal-area mother gave birth to a stillborn baby or the baby died within a few days of birth. That year there were two other infant deaths, as well as a fetus lost after more than 20 weeks' gestation.
Four of these infants were born to mothers who lived within a block of the same intersection.
Such numbers would push Vernal's neonatal death rate well above the national average, according to Utah Physicians for Healthy Environment. In 2010, it was about average.
"If they have to wait a couple of months for the 2013 statistics, that's what they ought to do, rather than leave out the year of greatest concern. Otherwise I'd be wondering what's the point," said Brian Moench, the physician group's president.
State epidemiologist Sam LeFevre said 2013 data probably won't be ready until December. "There's a 90-day reporting window, so births occurring last winter just barely arrived," he said. "Then we have to validate it, go through and look for errors."
The study's design rests with the TriCounty Health Department, which is seeking public input.
There's political pressure from some quarters to abandon the inquiry.
Multiple factors are tied to poor birth outcomes, including barriers to access to care and lifestyle choices, Rodney Anderson, a family doctor in Vernal, said at a TriCounty Health Department meeting Wednesday. "If a meth-head who has had no prenatal care shows up in my clinic, I'm not sure I want that reported in my numbers."
LeFevre believes he can statistically account for such risks, including teen pregnancies and smoking during pregnancy.
Tracing environmental causes is another matter, he said.
Vernal has a population of about 9,800 and in a city that size, you'd have to persuade every pregnant woman to agree to be studied to get the "statistical power" required, LeFevre said. "It would require taking blood, urine, hair and tissue samples and doing genetic tests. It's very invasive and very expensive, and we'd have to hire someone else to do it."
Even then, warns Seth Lyman, an air-quality specialist at Utah State University's Energy Dynamics Laboratory, the results may prove "unsatisfying."
The Uinta Basin's wintertime pollution sometimes reaches unhealthy levels. Ozone concentrations sometimes rival summertime levels in the nation's most polluted cities, according to the Utah Department of Environmental Quality.
But large cities are better testing grounds by virtue of their size, Lyman argues.
He and other researchers recently set out to document spikes in asthma hospitalizations at Vernal's Ashley Regional Medical Center around bad-air days.
"We found they're probably not related, but the data set was too small and the findings inconclusive," he said. "We know from other research that respiratory illnesses and deaths are related to poor air quality. But replicating those findings in our tiny basin is a whole other story."
Moench counters that birth studies have been done on populations in Colorado and Pennsylvania that are no bigger than Vernal, and asks, "Why can't Utah do the same?"
One study of babies born to mothers living within 10 miles of fracking wells in rural Colorado found them to be at greater risk of congenital heart defects and neural tube defects.
A study of Pennsylvania birth records from 2004 to 2011 showed infants born within a 2.5-kilometer radius of fracking are more likely to be born underweight and with health problems.
"There are other ways you can approach this. You could put air monitors at the intersection, the focal point where these deaths occurred," said Moench, noting there's currently only one monitor in the area. "This is primarily a matter of will and money, not a matter of scientific obstacles."
Locally produced research is important for informing policy decisions, Moench believes. "The health consequences out there, which go far beyond infant mortality, should be understood if oil and gas drilling is going to be the continued basis of economic viability."
Some families agree. "We're pro-oil," said Caren Moon's husband, Ben, a Gilsonite miner. "With the growing population, increased cars and traffic, you can't blame air pollution on industry emissions."
But he said, "We have to acknowledge there is a problem if we're going to make it better."
One easy fix would be for Vernal to impose emissions standards on vehicles, he said.
Caren Moon, meanwhile, is pregnant again and taking steps to protect the family. She monitors the air-quality alerts and keeps the kids inside on bad-air days. The family has installed air and water filters in their home.
Her miscarriage happened in November, early in her prior pregnancy, and might have had nothing to do with the "yucky air," she said. "We may never know. But it doesn't hurt to ask the question."

What's next?
TriCounty Health Department officials are finalizing the design of a study to determine if Uinta Basin mothers are at high risk for delivering premature, low birth-weight or stillborn babies. The study could take several months, or longer than a year, depending on how it's framed.
There are currently no plans for a follow-up inquiry, looking at possible environmental causes.

We're used to dealing with resistance to buy canadian cialis online change. Sometimes there's good reason, other times, not. The record industry's stats for 2005 are out and, SHOCK!, CD sales are down. But downloads are up. From 144 million last year to 554 million units. The numbers show that the America's recording industry is recovering, but the recording industry is still crying foul, fighting the digital revolution with the stubbornness we've come to expect from the suits.
So they hate us for downloading their music. They're angry because they no longer have control over us. They can't create the levitra online order next LP, the next 8-track, cassette tape or CD and force it on the consumer. It's out of their control because there's nothing left to create.
And when there's nothing left to create, everyone, including nature, can heave a sigh of relief. Nothing has to be physically produced or shipped, musicians get paid for what they produce (music) not what the record companies produce (CDs) and consumers have more of what America's recording industry really needs: Power.
The only ones suffering, of course, are the record companies. The internet took the plastic out of CDs and the power out of the recording industry. Almost everyone can celebrate.

AFT Media Affairs
High School Graduate from Binghamton, N.Y.,
Wins Robert G. Porter Scholarship
SEATTLE—Sharon Hartzell, a 2010 graduate of Chenango Forks High School in Binghamton, N.Y., is one of four highly accomplished high school graduates to receive a Robert G. Porter Scholarship Sunday at the American Federation of Teachers national convention.
Each year, the AFT presents an $8,000 scholarship to each of four outstanding high school seniors who are the children of AFT members. Recipients must show outstanding service to their community and plan to pursue a career in labor, education, health or government service.
In addition to excelling academically, Hartzell has been extremely active outside the classroom. She was a four-year member of her school's Science Olympiad team, winning five gold medals in regional competition. As a member of theatre club, she was in the cast or crew for six shows. During her senior year, she participated in a research project with NASA's Lunar and Planetary Institute, trying to determine the ages of lunar maria, the moon's dark spots. She started her school's student newspaper as a freshman. Outside of school, she volunteered at Binghamton General Hospital.
The Robert G. Porter Scholars Program is named in honor of the late AFT secretary-treasurer, who served for more than 30 years. Porter was known for his commitment to improving the quality of public education and public service.
Hartzell will be attending the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Va., where she plans to study biochemistry in preparation for a career in healthcare. Her father, Daryl Hartzell, is a member of the Binghamton Teachers Association.
The AFT is holding its biennial convention July 7-11 in Seattle. Coming together under the theme "Building Futures Together," more than 3,000 delegates will vote on major union policies that address the need to save and strengthen public education, build common cause with communities, and improve the institutions in which our members work.
# # # #
The AFT represents 1.5 million pre-K through 12th-grade teachers; paraprofessionals and other school-related personnel; higher education faculty and professional staff; federal, state and local government employees; nurses and healthcare workers; and early childhood educators.

The Story.
"Inonectima is all about extraordinary people in an ordinary environment wearing inonectima designs and speaking on their life statement/life philosophy. And I make a movie out of it to share the motivational message and keep the inspiration flowing." Maria
The story of Inonectima (from Greek "merging advantages" - made up word - so everything you google on it was generated by us ;) goes back to over 2 decades ago when its founder Maria Tukhas was born half-Finnish half-Russian into the family of a doctor and a professor of physics. The conceived DUALITY was reinforced by a plethora of education she received: having graduated with a gold medal from school she went on to gain a distinction in MA Industrial and Civil Engineering in Russia, where she won a scholarship to go to Canada to study Lidar Applications and Digital Terrain Models. The area sparked not only her fascination with more universal and cosmic issues, but also unraveled Maria's true PASSION for art and design. To pursue it, she successfully gained a design degree from famous Central Saint Martins, in her second year there received a grant to organise a self-initiated group exhibition of 25 graduates from the UK top Universities in the form of Poetic Design Cafe filled with functional art pieces and poems by authors (a progression of her earlier initiative at a hospital where she crowdfunded a mixed media exhibition: each painting was accompanied by a narrative story with the intention that patients waiting in the line could distract themselves from negative thoughts and fear and submit to the power of one's imagination instead), and by the time she was en-route to embark on a phd "Exploring Emotional Design Through the Use of Digital Media" at the Royal College of Art she stopped. it all. She left all to study Kundalini Yoga, graduated from the Kabbalah Centre and became a Dzogchen practitioner.
The new perspective of Action was born. Inonectima reemerged with the motto "Power to YOU" - power to unite mind, body and spirit through the joy of good design tailored to YOUR preferences and having YOUR DNA (life philosophy as we refer to it) imbued in an inonectima product. By the time the deeper concept was formed the purposeful luck took place and aligned Maria's creative vision with Contrado's great quality manufacturing "Made in London" to enable You to receive bespoke affordable luxury fashion items within 3 days: "Powered by inonectima inspired by you."As for the future - the future of inonectima lies in its artistic expansion. As a platform currently it allows you to View - Meditate - Act through an extensive use of resources - be it our ambassadors gallery, news updates or Art happenings. We are digitally native and social media open, all about giving YOU our best creative output. Affection from London, Inonectima

People make mistakes.
Elected officials make mistakes.
When an elected official makes a mistake, owns up to it and does those things necessary to try and fix it, that shows character, integrity, leadership and a true heart for public service.
That is exactly what one nearby elected official did this week when faced with the obvious fact that the state's Sunshine Law had been violated by city government.
Elected officials in Morrow, Lake City, Jonesboro, Forest Park, Riverdale, Lovejoy, College Park and Clayton County should pay close attention.
When the local newspaper and its editor Mike Davis of the Jackson Progress-Argus, sister paper of the Clayton News Daily, pointed out what seemed to be a violation of the Georgia's Open Meetings Act to the mayor of Flovilla, it likely did not sit well initially.
However, the very next day, Mayor Scott Chewning told Davis the city had in fact unwittingly done something it should not do.
That telephone call was a breath of fresh air.
"If I mess up in a council meeting, I'll always come back and say I messed up," Chewning said Tuesday in a phone interview. "That's what you're supposed to do," the Progress-Argus reported.
The issues there in Butts County are not unlike challenges elected officials in Clayton County, and every other place for that matter, face as they work to strike a balance between true public service and the difficulty of doing complicated county or municipal business.
Sometimes elected officials unwittingly do things behind closed doors without intent, without subterfuge, without malice aforethought.
Other times, the scoundrels are simply up to no good and they know it.
It is the job of a city, county or school board attorney to keep their clients out of trouble and in compliance with the law.
In Flovilla, city leaders made a mistake by not having the city attorney present. They quickly realized the mistake and are trying to make it right.
Any attorney who decides to practice local government law should understand that even though they are hired to represent their clients' interests, their clients — those elected to office — are hired by the voters to represent citizens.
Too many times it seems the legal counsel given to elected officials is more directed toward how to keep from leaving the perception of having violated the Open Meetings Act, rather than how to be in full compliance and bend over backward to be as transparent as humanly possible.

Pink's album The Truth About Love features her duetting with Eminem . But if you like the sound of Pink collaborating with rappers, you also may want to check out a track from the upcoming album from T.I. It's called "Guns and Roses," and it features Pink singing on the chorus.
The song is from T.I.'s album Trouble Man: Heavy Is the Head , which is due out next week. The track is about a troubled relationship, with T.I. rapping that he doesn't know whether to "kiss or kill" his girl, and Pink singing, "Yeah, we pray but even love couldn't save us/we wake up on a bed of guns and roses/and we don't know which one to choose/but either way we're gonna lose."
Cee Lo Green , Akon and Lil Wayne are among the other guests on T.I.'s album, his first official disc since his release from prison in August of 2011.

PHARR—Local, state and federal officials celebrated on Monday as signs were ceremoniously unveiled, officially designating the first 100 miles of interstate highway in the Rio Grande Valley. The new interstate highway segments are the fruit of a 20-year effort to bring an interstate highway to the Valley.
The first signs were placed in Pharr Monday, marking the Interstate 69 East, Interstate 2 and Interstate 69 Central.
Former U.S. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson, U.S. Congressman Henry Cuellar and the Texas Transportation Commissioner Jeff Austin were all in attendance for the unveiling of the new signs.
The change in signage covers U.S. Highway 83, from west of La Joya to the city of Brownsville, which will be labeled as Interstate 2. Interstate 69 East, formerly U.S. Highway 77, begins in Brownsville and continues north to the city of Victoria, while Interstate 69 Central is the new designation for 14 miles of U.S. Hwy. 281 from Pharr heading north. A total of 67 miles of regional roadways were added to the Interstate 69 system, which will eventually become a 1,600-mile highway that stretches from Michigan to Texas. Additional segments of I-69 and I-2 will be added to the interstate system as sections of highway are upgraded to interstate standards.
Austin said the new additions to the interstate mark a milestone for Texas, especially South Texas, as the signs unveiled symbolize growth, connectivity and economic development.
"We hope to complete all three segments, the two we are doing today, plus the Laredo section coming up that will begin in Houston and go up to Texarkana," Austin said.
Austin said the Interstate helps add safety and more businesses.
"Bigger businesses will want to relocate to where we have big roads and good infrastructure," Austin said. "The Rio Grande Valley has experienced tremendous growth over the past three decades and we are pleased to take this important step toward safely mobilizing a growing population while nurturing the economic prosperity of this hub for international trade."
According to the Texas Department of Transportation, a million people currently reside in the Valley, and approximately 1,000 newcomers are arriving in Texas daily. The new interstate highways are projected to help accommodate the rapid growth within the state.

Kickstarter is certainly turning into the place for older games to make a comeback to the modern world. So far we have seen the return of Shadowrun, Carmageddon, X-Com and now The Great Giana Sisters are making their way back into the hands of gamers. The team behind the sisters is the German developer Black Forest Games who hope to ship in October if they can reach their backing goal of $150,000. As an added bit of incentive to convince backers to put forward a little love for the old title, a free demo of the game will be released on their Kickstarter page on Friday, August 24th, showing off two of the titles playable levels.

Piping Hot Profits
Shaleen is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
I love my coffee hot, and my mornings just got better. Yes, there's a new Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX) outlet near my home for which I've been waiting for long. The menu looks good, offering a wide variety of Hot and Iced beverages. Moreover, there are a number of things new on the food menu too (I'm definitely trying the Basil Tomato & Mozzarella Cheese Sandwich tomorrow).
Starbucks recently announced its first quarter results with earnings of 57 cents per share, a rise of 14% YoY. Revenues were up 11% to $3.8 billion over the previous year quarter. Net income increased to $432.2 million from $382.1 million when compared to the previous year quarter. SBUX has shut most of its non-performing stores which will further result in lower overall cost.
Starbucks has recently entered India and Vietnam, and its performance in China this quarter is no less than exceptional given the weak economic conditions. There was a 28% increase in revenues in its China-Asia-Pacific operations this quarter.
The company has opened its first 3 stores in India and plans to come up with 50 more by the end of this year. Even though Indians consume more tea than coffee, nonetheless the pattern of coffee consumption is steadily increasing and if the company is able to play its cards right, the second most populous country in the world, India, could affect the company's earnings positively. Moreover, the acquisition of Teavana could prove to be a beneficial step as it has clear intentions to cater to international markets where tea drinking is popular.
More good news
Starbucks introduced the at-home-coffee-brewer, Verismo, last year and has sold over 150,000 units since its launch in late September. The company plans to offers upgraded versions of the machine later this year which will help boost revenues. Also, the acquisition of La Boulange has widened its food offerings and will help drive sales.
SBUX has a history of growing dividends. Its payout has increased more than 200% of what it paid first in 2010. Currently, the yield is 1.5% which is expected to improve further on the back of increasing revenues. There has been share repurchases to the tune of 8 million shares this quarter and the company plans to repurchase 29 million more during the year.
Another hangout joint?
McDonald's (NYSE: MCD) came out with its Q4 fiscal 2012 results on January 24, with earnings of $1.38 per share for the quarter, 5 cents more than expectations. MCD is updating its menu to keep customers excited. Also, some of the older items on the menu have now been added to the dollar menu like the Grilled Onion Cheddar Burger. McDonald's has a wide global presence (in about 120 countries) and new additions to the menu would help attract more people to its stores. But that being said, the company expects fast food dining to be flat in the near term, which means that there still could be some correction in the share price. The stock is highly defensive with a beta of 0.3 and the P/E ratio of 18 is below that of the industry. At around $95 per share, the stock is not very cheap but investors looking for safe stocks with growth in dividends and gradual appreciation in capital can surely look upon MCD. The current yield of MCD is 3.3%.
The Dunkin' Brands Group (NASDAQ: DNKN) is one of the major competitors of Starbucks. DNKN, the parent company of Dunkin' Donuts and Baskin-Robbins is present in nearly 60 countries worldwide serving coffee, baked products, and ice-cream. The company plans to come up with 8000 more stores in the long run. The company currently operates over 7000 stores in the U.S. The Dunkin' Brand is relatively new in the stock market as it got listed in 2011 only. The stock price performance has been good since then and the expansion plan envisaged by the company could be bring joy to investors in the long run if those plans are executed well.
Let's Pick
Starbucks and Dunkin' Brands look good to me as they have strong growth prospects. Starbucks entry into new markets with new products will help the company to grow further as it already enjoys good brand recognition and people are excited about the new offerings. The debt-equity ratio is just 0.11 and cash flow is good, which could mean more pay for the shareholders in the form of increased dividends and share repurchases.
Dunkin' is a well-established brand too with good presence in U.S. and good growth opportunities in the international markets. The company has a bit of debt on its balance sheet resulting in increased interest expenses but I don't think it worry investors if the company is able to sustain growth going forward. McDonald's, I feel, is expensive at the moment. But, investors who are looking for safety along with dividends and modest capital appreciation could well have their eyes on this stock.

Sammy Shepard is a creepy bastard. It's a fact. It's on the internet, there's no arguing it. For this fact alone he is a perfect fit for Scott Cooper's new gritty 80's era crime-thriller "Out Of the Furnace". The story follows a man recently released from prison who finds his brother has been murdered. Shepard plays the killer but we don't find that out till the end. Oh, spoiler alert. I'm kidding of course. I have no idea who the killer is. Man if it is him though wouldn't that be cool? It's like I can see the future or something. Think of a number and let me know on twitter when you're ready. I'll tell you what number you're thinking of.
Strap in kids because "The Dark knight Rises" has officially been given a rating by the MPAA. It's such big news that I think we should just sit back and take a deep breath and prepare for it. Now look around the room. Is there anything you want to say to the people around you before you read this in case the news gives you a heart attack and you die right there? Go tell them. I'll wait. No maybe you might want to go to the bathroom. I heard when you die everything lets go and you don't want a giant mess ruining your corpse. Ok. Are we good? Ready? Here we go. PG-13. The rating is PG-13.
There's all kinds of problems going on with Tom Six's "The Human Centipede Three". Namely Six and the first film's star Dieter Laser having slap fights about money or some crap. Well today news has dropped that Laser is officially out of the project and will be replaced by none other Udo Kier, who kind of looks like Dieter Laser so i guess problem solved. Ya know, unless you see the film actually being made as the problem. In which case you're still SOL.
Here's a heartwarming story about a drunk guy who beat up an handicapped man because he tried to take his Playboy. Happy Easter.
Boys will be boys! And 18 year old Florida chap is in hot water after he apparently drove into a crowd on purpose. The whole thing went down after the boy and his sister got into a fight with a group and decided to mow down their opposition. Like the age old saying goes. Never bring a knife to a car fight. Or something.
Ever since season 2 of "The Walking Dead" picked back up I've been giddy with excitement over all the happenings with our band of zombie killers. And with news today that British actor David Morrissey will be joining the cast in season 3 as "The Governor", the leader of a group of survivors that the run into Rick and the gang, well I'm just skipping around. Alright honestly I don't even know who this guy but this is the best you're going to get today. Don't forget to tip your waiter.
Christian Bale has been confirmed to be taking the lead role in a new revenge flick from "Crazy Heart" director Scott Cooper titled "Out of the Furnace". The film is set in 1986 Indiana and Bale will play a former prisoner who finds out his brother has been murdered while he was locked up. I smell prison shower scene! Not literally, I don't know what that would actually smell like. Awful I bet.
I've lost track of what's actually going on with the "Robocop" remake but it looks like "The Killing" star Joel Kinnaman has received an offer from MGM to take on the lead role of Alex Murphy, the cop turned robot.. or Robocop as you might call him. Seriously, didn't Colin Farrell already take the role? What the hell is going on here. Where am I!?
I didn't want to talk about this because I feel like there's a new casting update every day for some new horror show but here goes. Dave Annable has joined the cast of "666 Park Avenue." Please update your score cards.
A SWAT team in Florida spent over 8 hours this past Sunday in a heated stand off with a 75 year old man they thought had barricaded himself in his house. Of course heated in this case means the guy was actually just fast asleep from a mixture of alcohol and sleeping pills but it's Florida, they use different terms down there.
This guy in Florida isn't just your average run of the mill public masturbater. No he makes weird animal noises in the bushes to attract people while he's doing it. Of course if you walk over to a bush because there's weird animal noises coming from it you should probably get bit by an animal so seeing a guy go to town on himself might not be that bad.
CC's back, Joe's confused, and we hope you enjoy the new sound!
A movie that has the crew conflicted.

NEW YORK, NY - MAY 20: Yahoo! CEO Marissa Mayer speaks at a news conference following the company's acquisition of Tumblr at a press conference in Times Square on May 20, 2013 in New York City. The internet giant Yahoo! purchased the blogging site Tumblr for $1.1 billion. The company also announced a sleek new redesign of its Flickr photo service. (Photo by Mario Tama/Getty Images)
Perhaps Yahoo chief Marissa Mayer would blame it on the jet lag or having a toddler, but she reportedly overslept and missed key meetings at the Cannes advertising festival.
The festival, where executives meet with high-ranking media buyers and advertisers, is a must for those looking to make connections, unless you miss those meetings, according to the Wall Street Journal. Mayer was supposed to attend a swanky dinner party put on by Interpublic Group with MillerCoors, Chobani and marketers Mondelez International ready to meet Mayer and learn about Yahoo.

Political Science
College of Liberal & Creative Arts
Dean: Paul Sherwin
Department of Political Science
Phone: 415-338-2247
Chair: James Martel
Graduate Coordinator: Sujian Guo
Professors: Belkin, Graham, Guo, Kassiola, Martel, Smith, Shastri, Tsygankov
Associate Professors: Carcieri, Neely, Watts
Assistant Professors: García-Castañon, Gordy, McDaniel
Program Scope
Undergraduate study in political science is designed to develop knowledge, analytical skills, and critical insight into the nature of politics and political problems. The aim is to prepare students for active engagement in political life, whether as informed citizens or in a range of possible careers. The department endeavors to acquaint students with the issues of political life that have absorbed political thinkers and actors through the ages, as well as to equip students with the most contemporary skills for research analysis and policy making.
Pre-law Program
No specific major is required for admission to a school of law. Since law schools generally expect their students to have a broad foundation in the social sciences and the humanities, selection of a major in such areas is recommended. For more information, the student should consult the catalog of the school of law to which s/he expects to apply for admission.
For pre-law students who choose a major in political science, special concentration courses appropriate as preparation for legal training are provided on advisement within the framework of the major program in political science. The Department of Political Science and the student-operated Pre-law Advising Center also provide advising and other services (e.g., mock LSAT) for pre-law students in any major who wish to improve their preparation for law school.
Other Programs
Upon advisement, majors and minors in political science may select options enabling them to concentrate in a variety of career-related fields: education and teaching, public service, community action, pre-professional (for students anticipating graduate study in political science), political journalism, research and policy analysis, comparative studies, and various area studies concentration and minors (with opportunity to focus on Asia, Europe, or the Mideast).
The Master of Arts in Political Science is designed for students who wish to proceed to further post-graduate study at the doctoral level as well as those who seek to terminate their study with the M.A. degree. Areas of specialization may include American politics, political theory, comparative politics, public law, research methods, as well as joint programs with International Relations and Public Administration. Community college credential programs and student teaching opportunities are also available in the last semester of work. Evening seminars are readily available. Limited financial aid is available in the form of teaching assistantships and research assistantships. The program is professional in its standards, substantive offerings, and levels of expectation.
Bachelor of Arts in Political Science
- At least 32 of the 41 units for the major must be from upper division courses (numbered 300 - 699).
- Courses that fulfill the core and breadth requirements must be taken for a letter grade. CR/NC grading is not accepted for core and breadth courses.
- Students must earn a grade of C or better in the GWAR designated course, and a C- or better in all other core and breadth courses.
- Students in the major or minor may take up to 4 units CR/NC only for courses that satisfy part of the elective requirement.

Note: Students must take the Graduation Writing Assessment Requirement (GWAR) (composition) course in the major even if the student has taken a GWAR course in another department. The GWAR is satisfied by earning a C in any upper division course with the suffix GW. The department offers most of its courses with a GWAR and non-GWAR option. To satisfy the GWAR requirement you must successfully complete a course that contains the GW suffix; e.g., PLSI 477 GW "Congress and the Presidency - GWAR" WILL satisfy the requirement - PLSI 477 "Congress and the Presidency" will NOT satisfy GWAR

User Reviews
The community thinks...
Best car for $60k by S5 in IN on 09/18/2009. Trim: 2009 Audi S5 quattro, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: Gorgeous styling, great engine and a fantastic interior.
Cons: Not the most practical car.
Overall review: Approaching 5k miles since getting my 09 in February and no complaints. There's so much to love about this car that it justifies the impracticality of a $60k high performance touring coupe. Drivable around town, this car hits its stride on the back roads. Put the windows down, listen to the exhaust and smile. Worth every penny!

We've been seeing quite a few big boys from HTC as of late with the recent arrival of the 4.3 inchers, the Desire HD and HD7. As a result, HTC's slightly more modest Wildfire and HD Mini handsets have found themselves fading slightly into the background.
Enter the HTC Gratia, better known as the Aria outside of Europe, which sees the Taiwanese manufacturers return to the mid-range device. It still comes with all the HTC trimmings that we've grown to know and love but misses out on the 'look at me' characteristics of its larger counterparts. Change can be a good thing though, but has its trip over to the UK been worth it?
Our first impression of the HTC Gratia was that it's certainly a lot smaller than the handsets we've been dealing with recently, slotting neatly into our hands. We could get a really good grip over its petite physique which measures in at 103.8 x 57.7 x 11mm but the Gratia still shows that it's as hard as nails thanks to its rock solid back plastic cover which is characterised by those well known screw heads.
The 3.2 inch TFT capacitive touchscreen is surrounded by a glossy black border which provides extra leg room for the four touch-sensitive navigation keys and optical trackpad at the foot of the front panel. Each side of the Gratia is tastefully decorated by a single connection – the volume rocker, microUSB port and 3.5mm headphone jack. Just like the design, the rest of the HTC Gratia is easy to get to grips with.
Power and Operating System
Being a mid-range handset, the Gratia isn't out to impress in the spec department and after having a play, we felt that anything greater would simply overwhelm it. For starters, the 600MHz processor may sound a little measly but it makes for a reliable team mate and allowed us to glide through menus and homescreens hassle free.
The Gratia comes with both Android 2.2 Froyo and HTC's Sense user interface which makes using this phone even more enjoyable. We've always been fans of the added touches like the animated weather forecasts and leap view, which enables users to see all seven homescreens. Friend Stream pulls all your updates into one stream and allows you to post your latest status to all your networking sites in a single step.
The display shows the Gratia's inner beauty in the crisp quality it deserves. However, we had a slight niggle with the virtual portrait QWERTY keyboard as it requires a slight element of concentration to hit the right letter. If your concerns lie with this factor though, simply turn the handset into landscape mode to reveal a larger keyboard which makes typing a little easier.
Internet: The HTC Gratia comes with Flash support which was a pleasant surprise, considering that this phone doesn't initially appear to be for browsing fans based on its smaller display. However, as great as it was to view websites in their full glory, we ended up getting slightly frustrated with the screen size because it was impossible to read anything without zooming in a considerable amount. The Gratia's pinch to zoom technology was responsive enough though, but the processor showed its weakness when faced with having to load words, pictures and video content in one go and struggled to keep up.
On the up side, websites and YouTube footage rendered well and the text resizing function was also efficient.
Camera: There's a 5 megapixel camera on board the HTC Gratia, which also doubles up as a camcorder. While it doesn't have a flash, the manufacturer has installed a variety of shoot modes and basic adjustment functions, not that they help much in the dark.
The camera interface is a little strange as there's no dedicated hardware shoot button. Instead, you just press on the screen to take a picture. HTC scrimped on the memory, meaning the Gratia wouldn't take any photos before we inserted a microSD card, fortunately a 2GB one comes in the box to tide you over.
Other tech specs:
- Music player. Supports AAC, AMR, OGG, M4A, MID, MP3, WAV, WMA files.
- Video player. Supports 3GP, 3G2, MP4, WMV files.
- 512MB ROM and 384MB RAM
- MicroSD card slot that supports cards up to 32GB
- aGPS with Google Maps and HTC Footprints
- 3G and Wi-Fi support
- Bluetooth 2.1
- Digital compass
- Proximity and light sensors
- G-Sensor
- FM Radio
- Up to 7 hours talk time
Any downsides?
We knew not to expect the most technologically advanced smartphone when we first met the HTC Gratia and while it exceeded our expectations in many ways, the browsing experience was mostly let down by being too advanced for this phone's capabilities. Of course, Flash support is a great asset but overwhelmed the Gratia most of the time.
The HTC Gratia has clearly been given just as much attention as the top range smartphones the Taiwanese firm has been churning out lately, and it balances the company's portfolio nicely. If you're after a handset which does the job in hand, without causing a scene the HTC Gratia is definitely one to consider.
