How does virtuality translate into reality?
This week in my bioelectricity class, we spoke about electrical stimulation of nerves. One method of stimulation is to place a electrode directly on the surface of a nerve. One of the considerations of this method, however, is that the anode (positively charged side) and cathode (negatively charged side) of the electrode each cause a redistribution of charge around the electrode. Consequently, the anode induces a complementary "virtual cathode" and the cathode creates a complementary "virtual anode." These components aren't actually there, but we can observe a similar redistribution of charge that implies that something unseen is going on. Despite the fact that these components are not physically present, they have real effects on the functionality of both the electrode and the nerve. The virtual cathode and anode can cause a very real, measurable voltage change in the nerve, and can effectively block a nerve signal, which is dependent on the voltage.
In what other ways can intangible entities have physical manifestations? In this case, the unintended effect has a negative consequence, but can we find useful applications of such a circumstance?
Also, if these imaginary aspects can effect reality, what does that say about our definition of what is real and what isn't?

Apr 7 2012: It has long been said that Ideas are intangible which is a just statement. Just as with your "Virtual Cathode" and "Virtual Anode" Ideas have a very physical manifestations. Idea's are the root of all things man made and by default, they are the origin of many things physical. We must question our knowledge of the external world and the perception of all things physical. It is largely accepted that sense data makes up for much of our knowledge on the external world however the Noumenal world is too a part of the External world but a part of which sense data has no way of measuring. In comes the power of reason and the world of idea's - Intangible things but with a very real effect on the physical world. All this leads me to believe that our definition of what is real leaves much to be desired. Until we can look further into how what is incorporeal effects the material world or discover some method of measuring what is incorporeal, we cannot have a complete definition of the word real.
Andrew Kiang 50+Apr 8 2012: I am reminded of the concept of evanescent waves which carry information even though they do not transport any energy and their direction of propagation includes one or more imaginary components. Like others have said, words like "real" tend to refer to things we can only touch or see and makes our view narrow. When considering what effects reality, intangible concepts should be kept in mind as they do influence the real world.
Apr 10 2012: Hi Andrew, I love that you brought up electromagnetics and evanescence. You seem to be the only one on here who discusses the notion of imaginary numbers (as in, sqrt(-1)). I agree this is a great reminder of how "real" should not just be referred to as tangible. Another example of imaginary components having a huge impact on the "real world" is the quadrature phase of a complex-valued signal. The field of communication theory heavily relies on the propagation and processing of these signals that carry information.

Greasemonkey "Allows you to customise the way a webpage displays using small bits of JavaScript". Or not so small.
Works at:http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/*
Description:Finds a go.warwick.ac.uk url for the current page.
Usage:Adds 'go?' to the top right of the pages (in a way that causes it not to appear on printouts). Clicking on 'go?' initiates search. Flashing on/off indicates search in progress. Green indicates a shorter url has been found that uses a visible go url. Orange indicates a shorter url has been found that uses a non-visible go url. Red means no shorter url could be found. White on red background means the search failed. When a go url has been found it's set as the href on the word 'go?'. Right click on it and select 'Copy Link Location' to copy the go url to the clipboard. (A visible go url is one that appears as a suggestion in the 'Jump to' field that pops up from the top left of www2 pages.)
More Info:Not all go urls point to www2 pages but the script only works on www2 pages because it uses XMLHttpRequest and of course that can't cross (sub)domains. Also the script works by page scraping search results from http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/sitebuilder2/go/read/home.htm so may stop working should the format of those pages be changed.
Works at:http://blogs.warwick.ac.uk/showall/*
Description:Allows you to hide entries from specified blogs on the recent entries pages. Essentially this script does the opposite of the Favourites feature.
Usage:This icon: will appear in the header for each blog entry. Click this to add that blog to your Anti-Favourites list and remove all entries from that blog from the recent entries pages. If a page contains entries from blogs you are ignoring, a small + will appear in the far left of the navigation bar. (The grey bit under the black bit at the top of the page.) Clicking this cross will display the ignored entries with a light pink background. The cross will change to a - which when clicked hides the entries again. Entries from ignored blogs will have this icon: in the header. Click to remove the blog from your Anti-Favourites list.
The script also hides any entries that are about operational or human resource managemnet lessons/exercises. That feature can be turned off by altering the value of a the relevant variable near the start of the script.
Things to note:
More Info:The Anti-Favourites list is stored in an entry in your blog with the viewing permissions set only to you. Some might say this is excessively complex over simply storing the data in Greasemonkey and I would not entirely disagree with them :) . The reasons for using a blog entry are two-fold: 1] It means the list is usable from any installation of Firefox which has the script installed. E.g. You can use it from home and work. If the list was stored in Greasemonkey then you'd have to maintain separate lists for each place you used Firefox. 2] Storing data in Greasemonkey is trivially easy. Making a Greasemonkey script create and edit blog entries is a lot more challenging and sometimes I like such challenges.
Works at:https://mywebmail.warwick.ac.uk/exchange/*.EML?cmd=open
Description:If you access the Exchange email system via IMAP/POP and someone send you an appointment request, this will arrive as a message containing an url that you can, in theory, click on to open Outlook Web Access and accept/reject/whatever the appointment. However the urls are incorrectly formatted and do not work. This script re-writes the urls to what they are supposed to be.
Usage:Install script then edit and replace my email address and username with your own.

Left wing for the Oilers is a nice mixture of youth and experience, and there is sufficient quality and quantity for the club to make a move if necessary. The top end (Hall) and the experience (Smyth) are top drawer at the position.
- Taylor Hall 15:06/2.07
- Ryan Smyth 14:26/1.93
- Teemu Hartikainen 12:59/1.36
- Magnus Paajarvi 11:56/0.75
- Ben Eager 8:29/1.46
- Darcy Hordichuk 4:20/.096
- Ryan Smyth 2:09
- Taylor Hall 3:03/5.95
- Ryan Smyth 2:28/2.39
- Magnus Paajarvi 1:01/2.84
#1 overall Nail Yakupov is the leading new contender for a spot on LW, owing mostly to coach Krueger wanting to have the rookie pointed in the right direction in his own zone. I honestly don't know how important it is, but young Nail did play both sides in the KHL this season so it shouldn't be a huge adjustment. Hartikainen and Paajarvi are listed on this side, but both can play the other.
If anything I believe the Hall minutes above will increase this year, and Smyth's playing time is likely to fade (although not as much as one might think–Smyth remains a solid NHL player). Eager offers a "loose cannon" option and should get into 25+ games, Hordichuk in 20 or more.
ROSTER SPOTS AND 12-13 RE (5 roster spots)
- Taylor Hall (39, 21-19-40)
- Nail Yakupov (45, 11-15-26)
- Ryan Smyth (40, 9-13-22)
- Teemu Hartikainen (29, 5-5-10)
- Ben Eager (29, 3-2-5)
- Darcy Hordichuk (26, 0-1-1)
- Taylor Hall, plays well with Hemsky, Gagner, Nuge, things go better with Hall.
- Ryan Smyth, plays well with Hemsky and Gagner but has crazy good chem with Ryan Jones. I mean it's eerie. Hat tip to Woodguy for pointing it out.
- Teemu Hartikainen and the Nuge looked nice in a small sample size.
- Magnus Paajarvi played well with Horcoff, Hemsky and Omark in a small sample.
- Ben Eager has a large group of people who shouldn't play with him.
- Darcy Hordichuk and Magnus Paajarvi spent 3.5 beautiful minutes together.
If a healthy Taylor Hall can make one small step forward (reasonable) he'll be among the 2 or 3 best LW's in the division. If he goes super nova, he could end up being the best man on the NW portside this season. Veteran Ryan Smyth gives the team a reliable hand and a player who can deliver in all three disciplines. Nail Yakupov's spot on LW is not set–he could end up on RW–but the skilled Russian rocket will probably play a little on both wings this season and should be considered a gifted yet uncertain option. The organization is very high on Teemu Hartikainen and one can see him taking away some of the Smyth PP minutes during the season.
We're going to get an early indication about how coach Krueger uses his muscle when we get a gander at TOI totals and games dressed for Eager and Hordichuk. The Oilers have 4 better players ahead of them and available, so every game and every minute they play is one devoted to agitation, intimidation and the belief that protecting the kids with a 4line Coke Machine option is a worthy plan.
- Is this position strong enough for the Oilers to make the playoffs? Yes. Taylor Hall was pushing the river last season with a bum shoulder. Recovered and having played in OKC, he should hit the ground running and some NHL defensemen aren't going to have an answer. Smyth is an important part of the group, able to slide up and down the depth chart as needed, and Hartikainen will likely do much the same thing. The Oilers keep talking up his physical game and he can hit, but I don't think we should expect him to be as involved in that part of the game as someone like Smyth–but spending a year learning from the master can only help the Finn.
- Is there enough depth? Certainly. All these Euro kids can play both wings and one would hope we see a better Ben Eager this year.
- Wildcard? Yakupov, who I would put on RW (with Smyth and Horcoff). Coach Krueger has mentioned LW for Yakupov enough times I'm comfortable placing him here to start the season. He could struggle and get sent back to the KHL after 5 games, or he could force his way onto the 1PP with his finishing skills. Completely wide open canvas for the Russian and we would do well to remember that the Oilers have so many offensive weapons it might be difficult to find a spot for Yak at points in the season. I'm never going to bet against him, though.
- Will they add at the deadline? I honestly don't think they'll need to, unless injuries hit. Hall is a fast car, and he might see double shifts even in a short season with so many back to backs like this one.
- Who is in danger? Eager and Hordichuk, to a lesser extent Hartikainen. In the cases of Eager and Hordichuk, they need to make themselves useful without costing the Oilers PK sorties. I don't know that either player has that discipline, and from the sounds of things Hordichuk feels Krueger will give him a longer leash. I expect the Oilers will lose a few goals early getting that sussed out.
Teemu Hartikainen (photo by Rob Ferguson. All rights reserved)
- Hartikainen is in danger? Only in the sense that production is important. If he delivers offensively his role will increase, but the club has outstanding options for the skill minutes. It wouldn't hurt him to run over a Sedin first shift next Sunday, either.

Pop Music
Coordinator, Jack Pisters
Producer, Li Sang Ong
In September 2003, the Conservatorium van Amsterdam launched a four-year bachelor's degree programme in popular music. Performance, production and coaching are the cornerstones of this diverse course of study at the higher professional education level (hbo), which thoroughly prepares the student for all facets of a career as an enterprising artist. A large team of specialists active in the professional world are brought in to supplement the set core of CvA teachers. In this way, the programme corresponds directly to the professional world, reflecting the latest developments in popular music and education.
Course Structure
The course lasts four years; the lessons are given in Dutch. A wide selection of clinics and workshops supplements the regular curriculum. By emphasizing bands and projects and by giving students the opportunity to work with musicians from the professional world, the programme allows students to benefit immediately from current developments. A number of curriculum components make extensive use of the opportunities offered by the new media.
Students are expected to be open to new impressions, experiences, opinions and musical styles, to enjoy working with others, to learn and to try out new things, and not to be frightened of being influenced or of influencing others.
Throughout the course, students' development of their artistic, educational, organizational and business qualities will be assessed. Students will be evaluated on the basis of productions, performances and workshops.
A bachelor's diploma in music will be conferred on candidates who have successfully completed the programme.
The pop music programme is intended for guitarists, bass players, keyboard players, drummers and singers and is closely linked to the professional practice. In addition to the development of intrumental and theoretical skills, subjects such as bandcoaching, music production, studio engineering, songwriting, education and business matters form an essential part of the study programme.

(WNFL) - The Milwaukee Bucks split their home-and-home series with Boston, after losing 108-to-100 last night at T-D Bank Garden. Boston shot 70-percent in the fourth quarter, and hit 49-percent for the night. The Bucks tried playing catch-up the entire game. The Celtics went up 22-to-9 before Milwaukee chipped away and trailed by five after the first quarter. In the second, Boston went up by 15 before the Bucks closed the half on an 11-3 run to get within seven. In the fourth quarter, the Celtics jumped up by 12 with 6:28 left. Milwaukee had an 11-to-4 run to get within three. Boston then pulled away with an 8-to-2 spurt. But Milwaukee refused to give up, and got within three with 70 seconds to go. Jared Sullinger finally broke Milwaukee's back with a jumper as the shot clock expired in the final minute. O-J Mayo led the Bucks with 19 points. Brandon Knight scored 15. Jordan Crawford had a game-high 25 points to lead Boston, which snapped a four-game losing streak. The Bucks fell to 3-and-14, with two of those wins coming against the Celtics. Milwaukee will host Detroit tonight.

For the benefit of policy makers, service providers, and others, a recent report from SAMHSA provides state-by-state analyses of trends in substance abuse and mental illness.
The report, State Estimates of Substance Use from the 2007–2008 National Surveys on Drug Use and Health, includes data on alcohol dependence or abuse, binge alcohol use, cocaine, pain relievers, marijuana, and youth depression.
Among the report's notable findings:
Cigarette use by adolescents decreased in 35 states between 2002 to 2003 and 2007 to 2008, and no increases were observed in any state during this period.
Minnesota had the Nation's highest rate of past-year dependence on, or abuse of, alcohol among those age 12 or older (10 percent), while Kentucky had the lowest (5.7 percent).
Nine of 10 states having the highest levels of past-month illicit drug use among persons age 12 or older also had the highest levels of past-month marijuana use (in alphabetical order: Alaska, Colorado, District of Columbia, Montana, New Hampshire, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington).
Thirteen states showed significant declines in past-year cocaine use among persons age 12 or older from 2006 to 2007 (in alphabetical order: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas, Massachusetts, Nebraska, New Mexico, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming).
Wyoming had the Nation's highest rate of adolescents age 12 to 17 experiencing a major depressive episode in the past year (10.0 percent) while Maryland had the lowest (7.0 percent).

Starvation wages for Weight Watchers workers
Some meeting leaders say they make less than minimum wage, while celebrity spokeswomen -- and its CEO -- earn millions.
Losing weight is hard, but working for a weight-loss company might be even tougher.
Weight Watchers (WTW) is coming under fire from some of its leaders, who accuse the company of paying them less than minimum wage, while celebrity spokeswomen earn millions.
"We are professionals, we have to dress nice, but we are paid less than kids who work at McDonald's," Tammy Williams, a leader in Texas, told The New York Times.
Weight Watchers pays its leaders an $18 base rate for running meetings. But according to some leaders, meetings can require as much as three hours of time, including setting up chairs and cleaning up, the Times notes. That means the hourly pay for some works out to be $6 per hour, or less than the federally mandated $7.25 per hour.
Meanwhile, the company has spent millions hiring celebrities including Jennifer Hudson and Jessica Simpson, not to mention the $2.96 million it paid to Chief Executive David Kirchhoff in 2011, according to the Times.
Poor pay is a complaint featured on reviews of Weight Watchers on Glassdoor.com, a jobs and career Website that offers employees at thousands of companies a place to vent.
One reviewer, who said she was a former receptionist, cited the per-meeting flat rate as a problem, as well as the expectation that workers would perform some tasks -- such as getting change at the bank -- without compensation.
"This is not the job for you if you need to pay the bills," wrote another reviewer, identified as a former meeting leader.
Other low-paying companies are facing similar complaints, as profits and executive pay rebound with the recovery while rank-and-file wages fail to keep pace. Some Wal-Mart (WMT) workers are banding together to demand better wages, for example.
But some see a form of sexism at work, given that many of Weight Watchers' leaders are women.
"It's a female-dominated job, it's in the service industry, and it's caring work," Sharon H. Mastracci, the author of "Breaking Out of the Pink-Collar Ghetto" and a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago, told the Times. "Caring work is undervalued, and they're taking for granted that you care so much you're going to be there no matter what."
Weight Watchers' unhappy troops are agitating at an awkward time for the company, which earlier this month reported an 8.9% slide in 2012 profits. CEO Kirchhoff said in a statement that the company has been disappointed by its recruitment trends so far in 2013.
Spent 2+ HRS EACH WAY, EVERY DAY (4 hr/day) without compensation: NYC 1 hr subway to end of line and 1 hr car driven by Long Island manager who drove 2 hrs each way to Conn. Oh, what the young are able and "willing" to do to get ahead!
I complained about the meeting set up and breakdown time lowering my rate to under minimum wage and they had my supervisor come out and "suggest" how to set up quicker. She couldn't save me enough time to put me under minimum wage when she was at my site so she told me to keep working on it.

GENERIC NAME: minoxidil
BRAND NAMES: Rogaine
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Minoxidil is a drug that is used for treating male-pattern baldness. Oral minoxidil was originally used for treating high blood pressure, but patients and health care providers noticed that hair growth was a side effect of treatment. This led to the development of topical (solution applied to the skin) minoxidil for the treatment of male-pattern baldness. The mechanism of action leading to growth of hair is unknown.
PRESCRIPTION: No
GENERIC AVAILABLE: Yes
PREPARATIONS: Solution: 2 and 5%; Foam: 5%
STORAGE: Minoxidil should be stored at room temperature, 20-25 C (68-77 F).
PRESCRIBED FOR: Minoxidil is used to treat male-pattern baldness. In women, it is used to treat diffuse loss of hair or thinning of hair in the frontal areas of the scalp.
DOSING: Minoxidil should be applied as 1 ml of solution or half a capful of foam to dry hair and scalp once in the morning and again in the evening. It should be spread evenly over the affected areas, and then the hands should be washed with warm water (if the hands are used for application). Minoxidil must be applied on the scalp at least twice daily and for at least four months to see results. Minoxidil works less well in patients that are older, have larger areas of baldness, and have been bald for longer periods of time. Minoxidil should be applied to a dry scalp only, and left in place for at least four hours. Minoxidil must be continued in order to maintain or increase the hair growth achieved.
DRUG INTERACTIONS: Minoxidil should not be used with other topical medications because they may increase its absorption and side effects.
PREGNANCY: Minoxidil should not be used in pregnancy because it has not been studied adequately in pregnant women.
NURSING MOTHERS: Minoxidil should not be used by nursing women because it has not been evaluated adequately in nursing mothers.
SIDE EFFECTS: Adverse reactions include irritation of the skin, itching, contact dermatitis, and dryness of the scalp or flaking. An increase in the absorption of minoxidil from the scalp can occur in patients with damaged skin, leading to increased side effects. Minoxidil's contains alcohol that can irritate the eyes. In case of accidental contact with eyes or other sensitive areas, the exposed area should be washed with cool water.

Lady B's crush Meridian 34-27 in home game
The Lady B's claimed their first league win in front of home town fans last week as they crushed the hapless Meridian Trojans in a lop-sided 34-27 victory.
The only thing that kept Blaine's score from being 60 or so to 27 was their 18 percent shooting from the field where they went only 11 for 62 attempts.
That shotgun approach worked for them, though, as they out-rebounded Meridian by a whopping 55 to 13, over half of them on the tougher offensive end of the court, as Jordan Oldham and Alex Hendricks-Hockey pulled down 10 each.
Blaine was lead in scoring by Bailey Richardson with 11 points, nine of them treys, followed by Kristen Elsbree with 10, Kellee Harbst with 7 and Carley Schmidt, Oldham and Hendricks-Hockey all with two points each.
Harbst's low point production had to do with being double and sometimes triple teamed, but with the flexibility and poise of a veteran squad the Borderites shifted to their backcourt who more than made up.
On the defensive end Blaine held Meridian to two points in the first quarter and none, zip, nada, zilch in the final quarter to ice the win.
The girls travel to Sedro Woolley on Wednesday, January 23, before returning home on Friday, January 25 to face Burlington.
Slivers from the bench...
The boys game with Sehome on Tuesday, January 29, and the girls game with Mt. Baker will both be webcast to fans with internet access, said Blaine high school technology teacher Jim Nelson.
This was first done six years ago when students provided everything from play-by-play, sideline and color commentary to operating three cameras, a "booth" or backstage production facility in a room off the main gym.
Nelson's students will also provide a prepared analysis of the matchup between the teams. A victory over Sehome, which has a season record of five wins and seven losses, is within reach of Blaine (3-10).
The Mt. Baker Mounties, on the other hand, will be a handful for the Lady B's,.
To access the webcast, go to www.blaine.k12.wa.us/webcast. Pregame action will begin at 7:25 p.m. For more information, email email@example.com.
Grapplers beat Anacortes 57, 13
In a match every bit as one-sided as the score suggests, Blaine took 11 out of 14 matches from Anacortes as they cruised to an easy 57-13 match victory to keep their dual meet record unblemished at 7-0.
Blaine won three matches by quick first-round pins. Kyler Macowiak (130) pinned Jordan Ferrier in 54 seconds, Darrell Price, Jr., (189) pinned Matt Payne in 56 seconds and Jacob Martinez (160) pinned Cody Hernandez in just under 30 seconds.
Other winners included Nick Barnes (103), Kelton Nix (112), Jacob Humphrey (125), Tyson Foster (140), Jesse Kilthau (145) Jeremey Holdass (171), Shane Hicks (215) and Cody Dobbs (285).
Blaine's next opponent, Bellingham, is a road matchup and despite their 2-6 record they won't be so easy.
They won their last match in a shut-out 78-0 win over Sehome last week that included 8 pins. The match gets underway at Bellingham high school at 7 p.m.
Blaine boys win one, lose one to Woolley
Blaine came oh-so-close against the ranked and highly touted Meridian Trojans last week but lost what became a war of attrition as fouls ended up taking four Borderite starters out of the game.
Garret Swearinger and Nate Tewalt fouled out in the fourth quarter followed by Connor Oldham and Justin Kirkwood getting yanked by the Zebras in overtime. Blaine fought the men of Troy to a 51-all standoff by the end of regulation play and Blaine out-rebounded Meridian 36 to 25, but out fouled them as well 27 to 16.
Blaine was led by Tewalt's 21 points and seven rebounds. Odie Johannessen had 14 points including both Blaine treys, and Connor Oldham had 11 on the night.
Bright spots on the evening were the defensive gems provided by Kirkwood on Josiah Sebens, a transfer from Squalicum who can score pretty much at will but was held to just 12 points, and by Alex Bresnan who held Meridian's other chief threat, Andrei Lintz, to a baker's dozen by cracking his rhythm and harassing him like a crow going after french fries.
"I hope we continue to play unselfishly like that, and work hard," said head coach Dan Rucker. "We've gotta attack but be smart and keep turnovers down. In the end it could have gone either way, but I'm proud of the way our guys played out there."
Tuesday night Blaine took out its frustration on visiting Sedro Woolley 69-57 in fine style, dominating in every aspect of the game. The physical contest reached a peak in the second quarter when Connor Oldham came sailing in from the left to stuff the ball in an NBA-style slam dunk that had fans roaring.
Woolley's Ethan Brown, the league's leading scorer, was held to 13 points, stymied by an inside trapping defense that kept the ball outside the paint. Woolley countered in the second half with a perimeter game that had left-hander David Janicki sliding around the top of the key for kick-out passes and a very quick left-handed shot, but despite his 22 points Blaine was able to quash the too little too late rally for the win. Now 2-4 in league, Blaine moved up in the standings with the win right behind 3-3 Sehome.
"We have a big test coming up [Friday, January 26] on the road against Burlington," Rucker said, "but we're peaking at the right time. We're having good solid practices, and we're working hard."

The NFL released the 2013 schedule Thursday night and the Green Bay Packers will pick up where they left off, at Candlestick Park in San Francisco. The Pack will open the season September 8 on the road against the NFC Champion 49ers, who blew out Green Bay 45-31 in their last game, the NFC Divisional playoffs. The home opener is against the Washington Redskins the following week. Then it's a trip to Cincinnati before a very early bye week. It's the earliest possible in week four, the first time Green Bay has had that bye since 1999. The Packers return to Lambeau October 6, hosting Detroit before traveling to Baltimore to meet the Super Bowl champs. A late afternoon game against Cleveland at home preceeds the first of four prime time appearances. Green Bay will meet the Vikings in Minnesota Sunday night, October 27. That will be followed by a Monday night game at home against the Chicago Bears. Back to back games against the NFC East are next, at home against the Philadelphia Eagles, like the Lions game, a gold package contest. Green Bay plays the New York Giants at MetLife stadium for the third year in a row, on prime time, Sunday night, November 17. The rematch with the Vikings comes next at Lambeau and then a short week. Green Bay will spend Thanksgiving in Detroit against the Lions again. After a 10 day break, a second bye if you will, Green Bay will host last year's top seed in the NFC, the Atlanta Falcons at Lambeau in the final Sunday night game. The schedule wraps up in Dallas, at home versus Pittsburgh and the finale at Soldier Field in Chicago. Based on last year's winning percentage of .533, the Packers have the league's 6th toughest schedule, facing 7 playoff teams and both Super Bowl participants. It's only the second time under Mike McCarthy the Packers will open on the road and for the first time since 1921, the Packers will not have to play back to back road games all year.

Bone Erosion Measurement in Subjects with Rheumatoid Arthritis Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic disease that can affect the nervous system, lungs, heart, skin, reticuloendothelium and joints. Currently, the gold-standard measurement for tracking the progression of the disease involves a semi-quantitative assessment of bone erosion, bone marrow edema and synovitis, as seen in magnetic resonance (MR) images, by a musculoskeletal radiologist. The work presented in this thesis identifies how computer automation can be used to quantify bone erosion volumes in MR images without a radiologists' expert and time consuming intervention. A new semi-automated hybrid segmentation algorithm that combines two established techniques: region growing and level-set segmentation, is described and evaluated for use in a clinical setting. A total of 40 participants with RA were scanned using a 1-Tesla peripheral MR scanner. Eight of the participant scans were used to train the algorithm with the remaining used to determine the accuracy, precision, and speed of the technique. The reproducibility of the hybrid algorithm and that of manual segmentation were defined in terms of intra-class correlation coefficients (ICCs). Both techniques were equally precise with ICC values greater than 0.9. According to a least squares fit between erosion volumes obtained by the hybrid algorithm with those obtained from manual tracings drawn by a radiologist, the former was found to be highly accurate ( m=1.030, b=1.385: r-squared=0.923). The hybrid algorithm was significantly faster than manual segmentation, which took two to four times longer to complete. In conclusion, computer automation shows promise as a means to quantitatively assess bone erosion volumes. The new hybrid segmentation algorithm described in this thesis could be used in a clinical setting to track the progression of RA and to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment.

Keep your wits sharp but your look sharper.
Zara riding blazer.
Last but not least, my absolute favourite trend this season would be the socks and sandals combo. Again, the contrast of the two make quite the dynamic duo and will add a certain effortless chicto any outfit.

We all love a nice chunky knit for the Winter, but why not experiment and incorporate it into your Spring/Summer wardrobe also? This black and gold zip Ralph Lauren knit was a great find; I love the cropped look I gave it along with my high-waisted lightweight linen shorts from Zara. I thought that the contrast of the two fabrics created a cohesive, ready-to-wear ensemble…
Essentially my favourite look for the Spring and Summer seasons would be either Boho chic or a really ethereal, lightweight ensemble. However, lately I've been incredibly into a darker and edgier look. New York street chic has been such an inspiration to me these past couple of months and considering Burberry and Lanvin are my favourite designers, I figured why not contrast the ethereal aesthetic with harder and darker components…
Today is a busy, busy day for J and A. Two photoshoots with one down (Our Look Our Day) and one more to go. As boring as it may seem, I plan on approaching this season in the very minimal sense. Not always, but for the most part. However, I do plan on surcharging a certain spice to every look and adding to the basics with at least one powerful piece or perhaps accessorizing beyond that of a gypsy. From top to bottom I have on a vintage plaid button down by an unknown designer, my Zara riding pants/legging which I wore for a previous shoot in December, and showcasing for a second time my Sam Edelman leather wedges; with my only accesory being a pair of rockin' aviators. Simple and composed; this is my look for May 4th 2011.

Last summer my mother ventured back to her native land of Romania to visit her mother and sister. She came back with these; my Zara riding pant/legging with a riding jacket to accompany it-I absolutely adored them. I've yet to wear them together…I'm not to sure how that would pan out. Over matching is slightly vexatious to me and considering I'm no horseback rider I feel the look would be a little inappropriate. Although I do wear both pieces separately and they truly pull some looks together in such a subliminally equestrian manner.

Back to basics. After all the winter layering (as much as I love it) I could use a break. The weathers changing and so is my approach to fashion this Summer. Minimalism's going to take its toll on me and I to it. It should be an interesting transition and I'm ready for the challenge. Bring on the heat.
Layering has been an engrossing topic that's been fresh in our minds lately and given this erratic weather we're jumping at every opportunity to capture the moment and latch what we believe is appropriate. An oversized F21 floral lace long sleeve gently covered by one of my favourite Goodwill finds, the knit black turtle neck poncho (that I cannot wait to fully take advantage of in the upcoming seasons); alas for hidden detail these black high-waisted Zara leggings.

An O'Malley administration plan to lend $240,000 to a Towson sports bar to finance its expansion is raising questions about the role of government in promoting economic development.
This week, the Board of Public Works opted to delay deciding whether to approve the loan to the Greene Turtle in Towson, whose franchise owners want to double its size to meet an anticipated increase in competition from nearby projects.
State and local development officials called the loan necessary to keep downtown Towson vibrant, especially at a time when private financing is difficult to secure. They said the loan is similar to support the state has provided to small businesses in other commercial centers.
But two of the three board members said they don't understand why a successful restaurant needs this kind of state help.
"If they can't make a go of it without taxpayers' money, nobody can," said Comptroller Peter Franchot, a Democrat.
The loan from the Department of Housing and Community Development is part of an $893,000 financing package for the restaurant and bar, part of the popular Greene Turtle chain that started in Ocean City in 1976. The plan includes a $265,000 Baltimore County loan, which could be forgiven; a loan from Bay Bank, and contributions from the restaurant owner and landlord.
With the other sources of financing lined up, the proposed loan under the Neighborhood Business Development Program came up before the board Wednesday for what typically is routine approval. The board has approved many such bond-financed loans since the 1990s, including some for restaurants.
Carol Gilbert, assistant housing secretary for revitalization, said no loan under the program has been deferred or turned down since she came aboard in 2007. However, this time two of the board's three members raised objections.
Franchot questioned whether it was a wise use of state money to lend funds to a private business for furniture, fixtures and equipment. Franchot professed to love the Edgewater-based Greene Turtle chain but said he would vote against "this use of taxpayers' money to expand a sports bar in the middle of a college town."
Treasurer Nancy K. Kopp, also a Democrat, said she has concerns as well.
"It sounds to me like there's revitalization going on without it," she said.
Even though Towson is in his district, Republican Del. Bill Frank said he shares those misgivings. Frank, a former banker, said he has seen many cases in which public financing has been used to close a deal, but he noted that private money makes up less than half of the proposed Greene Turtle investment.
"Coupled with the county loan, the public sector portion of the financing exceeds well over half the package," he said. "This strikes me as a rather large piece of the pie coming from the public sector. I would like to see that decreased substantially."
The concerns in that district cross party lines.
"I'd rather see $240,000 being loaned to a school system to add air conditioning," said state Sen. Jim Brochin, a Democrat.
Brochin said he's aware of at least four projects worth a combined $350 million proposed or underway in downtown Towson.
"This is anything but a distressed area. I have never seen so much money go into Towson," Brochin said. "I see no need for the state to get involved in these private deals."
But Andrea Van Arsdale, Baltimore County's planning director, said the Towson picture isn't so clear-cut.
"While very good things are happening, many things are not so good," she said.
Van Arsdale said that while there has been generous private investment in large projects on the fringes of downtown, it's been more difficult for small businesses in the town's core along York Road to obtain private financing.

Article Title
"The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God", Mark wrote nearly fifty years after Jesus' death, beginning the first text in a palimpsest of mythology that has expanded for nearly 2000 years. Since Mark wrote his gospel, theologians, writers, artists, and, today, film directors, have recreated and idealized the life of Christ in their texts. With each new text, the historical Jesus has been idealized and used to communicate the cultural information of a particular time and place. Each new text is an intertext composed of previous texts and new individual and cultural embellishments. Previous texts are not obscured by new ones; instead they co-exist and add to the number of meanings that the myth is capable of communicating.

How does Sony's 'superphone' stack up?
The new 4G device has impressive features, but competitors aren't standing still.
Mobile technology heading into 2012 is all about the marriage of two features: the lowest price tag and the highest specifications. Look no further than Apple's (AAPL) strategy with the recently released iPhone 4S. With a two-year contract at Verizon (VZ), AT&T (T) or Sprint (S), you can get a fine iPhone that sports a voice-operated personal assistant and an 8-megapixel camera that can shoot HD video in 1080p -- all for just $200. Some fancy specifications and a nice price.
Sony (SNE), true to tradition, is pushing at least the high-end aspect with its latest mobile devices. Case in point: the company's latest Sony Ericsson Xperia phone. While Sony hasn't officially debuted the phone yet -- with pricing, release date and name all missing -- a device certification fact sheet for the phone popped up at Bluetooth SIG (a website for the not-for-profit trade association representing Bluetooth technology) on Thursday. The listing for Sony's new phone claims to bring the Xperia line into "superphone territory."
What makes the new Xperia -- its temporary name is the decidedly un-catchy catalog ID LT28at -- a "superphone"? The device is built for use on LTE 4G networks, such as the kind Verizon and AT&T currently are expanding across the country. It has a 4.55-inch, 720p HD screen, described in the certification as a "Reality Display." It also boasts a 13-megapixel rear camera, and a second front-facing HD camera. LT28at sports two microphones as well, for better noise suppression and stereo recording. As with the rest of the Sony Ericsson lineup, LT28at runs on Google's (GOOG) Android operating system.
It's an impressive array of features. How does it compare to its brethren? Right now, Sony Ericsson already is preparing what industry followers thought would be its flagship smartphone in early 2012, the Xperia Nozomi. The Nozomi, whose catalog name is LT26i, has a 4.3-inch screen, slightly smaller than the new superphone, but that screen also outputs in 720p. Nozomi also has some beefy processing power inside, at least according to November rumors at Engadget. Word is that its horsepower is comparable to Samsung's (SSNLF) Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet. (This is, of course, unconfirmed.)
So the superphone's real super feature seems to be the 13-megapixel camera. Professional-grade digital cameras like Samsung's NX200 are 20-megapixel devices. The new Xperia is a significant improvement over the already impressive camera in the iPhone 4S. Still, it only makes the LT28at Xperia competitive in the high-end smartphone market. The 3G Droid MT917, a relative of the new Droid RAZR from Motorola Mobility (MMI), also has a 4.5-inch, 720p screen, as well as a 13-megapixel camera -- as does the Droid XT928.
Those are 3G devices, though, so the new Xperia could at least market itself as a 4G device with these impressive features. However, t's hard to say what the rest of the competitive landscape will look like by the time it releases (likely in the first half of 2012). HTC, Apple, Samsung and others all have new smartphones in the pipeline, so it's possible the LT28at might be less super and more Clark Kent by the time it hits the market.

Health Groups Hail Increase in Federal Tobacco Taxes
Taxes on cigarettes, "little cigars," and cigarillos will increase significantly under legislation signed by President Barack Obama on February 4.
The legislation's chief focus is the expansion of the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP), which provides health insurance coverage for children whose families do not qualify for Medicaid and who do not have insurance through an employer or the resources for private insurance. Funds from the increased tax on tobacco products will be used to offset the cost of the SCHIP expansion.
The last federal excise tax was passed in 1997 and went into effect in two stages—$0.10 in January 2000 and $0.05 in January 2002, raising the tax to a total of $0.39. Under the new law, federal taxes on packs of cigarettes will increase by $0.62, while the tax on little cigars will increase by $1.01 and on cigarillos by $0.35. For little cigars—similar in size to cigarettes, but wrapped in a tobacco leaf—the increase brings their tax in line with cigarette taxes. The tax on cigarillos, which are thinner versions of traditional cigars, was raised from $0.05 to $0.40.
Both the expansion of SCHIP and the tax hike were applauded by numerous medical, health care, and tobacco control organizations, including the American Cancer Society, American Lung Association, American Medical Association, and Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids (CTFK).
"Increasing the federal tobacco tax to fund SCHIP is a win-win proposal that will help children get the health care they need, while also acting as a deterrent to young smokers and potential smokers," said American Medical Association President Dr. Nancy Nielsen.
Data show that youth are more responsive to cigarette price increases than adults, with a 10 percent increase in the price of cigarettes estimated to reduce youth smoking by almost 7 percent compared with 2 percent among adults.
"The passage of this legislation means that little cigars and cigarillos will be taxed at the same rate as cigarettes. Increasing the price of these tobacco products will help make them less appealing to youth," said Dr. Cathy Backinger, chief of NCI's Tobacco Control Research Branch.
Declines in cigarette smoking among youth have stalled in the past 4 years, Dr. Backinger explained, with 20 percent of youth reporting that they were current smokers in 2007. Data also show that youth are increasing their use of other tobacco products, including little cigars and cigarillos.
On the same day President Obama signed the SCHIP legislation into law, the American Legacy Foundation issued a news release with new findings showing that cigarillo use increased by 240 percent and little cigar use increased by 150 percent between 1997 and 2007.
Young African Americans appear to be the heaviest users of these products. Available evidence suggests that they favor one brand in particular, Black & Milds, often just called "Blacks." In 2007, the Altria Group, which includes Philip Morris, acquired John Middleton, Inc., which manufactures Black & Milds.
According to the CTFK, the tobacco tax increases will prevent 2 million children from ever starting to smoke, help more than 1 million adult smokers quit, prevent nearly 900,000 smoking-related deaths, and generate more than $44 billion in health care savings over the long term.

In anticipation of Thursday's first round of the NFL draft, Rivals.com came up with a Top 10 for total draft picks since 2000 and UGA placed fourth with 61 behind Ohio State (73), Southern Cal (69) and Miami (67) and just ahead of Tennessee, which had 60.
The rest of the Top 10 was rounded out by Florida and FSU (both with 59), LSU (55), Virginia Tech (52) and Michigan and Oklahoma (both with 49).
When it came to having the most first-round picks, the Dogs were ninth, with 11, including the No. 1 overall pick in 2009 with Matthew Stafford. UGA trailed Miami (26), Ohio State (16), Southern Cal (15), FSU and Texas (14), and Florida, Oklahoma and Tennessee (12). Penn State followed Georgia with 10.
As a Georgia fan, there are two ways of looking at this.
On the one hand, Georgia's consistent status as a producer of NFL players no doubt was a factor in Mark Richt landing this year's Dream Team, and is likely to continue drawing talent to Athens.
But while the Dogs won two SEC championships during the period this listing covers, and finished as high as No. 2 in the country, the most recent conference title was in 2005 and the Dogs brought home no BCS championship.
So you could argue that all that NFL-caliber talent underperformed while at UGA. That argument would be particularly on the mark for the Stafford-Knowshon Moreno era.
Richt got the Dream Team to Athens. But now he's got to show he can do more with that talent than simply produce future pro players.
It was fantastic seeing the big smile on the face of Johnathan Taylor in the dugout with the Diamond Dogs Tuesday night as they beat Georgia Tech 6-4 before a crowd of 18,156 at Turner Field in the Spring Baseball Classic for Kids.
It was JT's first time being reunited with the full team since breaking his neck in a game against Florida State in early March, and it no doubt helped spur the Dogs on to the win over the No. 9-ranked Jackets.
Go JT! Go Dogs!

Of the eight teams in the top 10 in both number of draftees and number of first round picks, only Georgia, Tennessee, and FSU failed to win a national championship between 2000 and 2010.
Tennessee won an NC in 1998 and FSU got one in 1999.
The answer to the question presented, "Has NFL-caliber talent underperformed at UGA?" seems to be, sadly, yes.
April 27th, 2011
11:15 am
go back 20-25 years and look at UGA football.
There has been no underachieving the last 10 years because the bar got raised.
We had not won anything since 1982.
1990-2000 no SEC titles. 78 wins.
2001-2010 Two SEc titles. 96 wins.
The bar has been raised by richt. He iks a victim of his own success and it is hard to stay more than 7 or 8 years at any one school nowadays. Folks are way too fickle. Too much information available on the internet.

If Richt doesn't survive after 2011, he can blame it on one of his good character traits-LOYALTY. He should have done everything he could do to get Van Gorder to stay in Athens. Those teams had the same offensive characteristics as today's team but the defense the past 6 years has gotten progressively worse.
If Grantham can do something about that, richt survives.

Football: Yes, the NFL talent at UGA has underperformed. The down side to recruiting NFL caliber players is that they are more concerned about how much money they are going to make in the NFL than winning a championship for their school. A prime example is Stafford who could have stayed his senior year and competed for a championship but chose to cash in. Compare Stafford to Tebow who stayed his senior season and won championships.
Baseball: The Diamond Dawgs are a much improved team this year playing in the nation's toughest division. (Vandy, SC and UF all in the top 5). I look forward to watching them become better.
April 27th, 2011
11:19 am
I absolutely HATE the "what if" game, but stop for a second and imagine if NOBODY left UGA early, and played out there commitment to the Dawgs….
Unfortunately that's just not how it works though.
And how dare anybody say we underperformed the last decade. The fact that we are even having this conversation, only shows that other teams (especially Georgia Tech) expects us to win National Titles every year, and I take that as an extreme compliment to Coach Mark Richt and the University of Georgia Football Program.
April 27th, 2011

Has NFL-caliber talent underperformed at UGA? I would have to say no. If they got drafted then they performed up to NFL standards.

Richt has top 5 most talented state. Has a top 10 recruiting class almost every year.
Yet has gone 7-5, 6-6 last 2 seasons.

Stafford and AJ are terrible leaders. It's a shame that we've had to pull out the Ol' Dawgs (Boss Bailey, etc…) to get guys fired up in recent years. I think Reshad Jones was a huge disappointment too. Those guys really seemed to just coast through college hoping to get a payday in the NFL. Moreno had fire, but nobody seemed to follow.
April 27th, 2011
11:36 am
NFL-caliber talent hasn't won Georgia a national championship under CMR, so I'll say yes. I'd rather see "Georgia's consistent status as a producer of NFL players" replaced by its "consistent status as a contender for SEC and BCS championships" as a selling point for recruits.
Good to see JT back with the team last night! Keep praying for this young man and his family.

No doubt UGA can recruit talented high school football players as well as any football program in America.
I wish UGA had coaches like Mike Riley at OSU, Peterson at BSU and the head coach at TCU. These coaches cannot consistently attract four and five star recruits to their schools. The coaches can recruit good football players and teach them to be better football players. One factor as to why they can do this is that good football players want to be better football players.
Four and five star recruits already believe they are great football players who don't necessarily need to be taught to improve. Some don't believe they need to do anything other than to spin their wheels until they are eligible to play in the NFL.

Ohio-on-the-Gulf Dog good point.
I expect a change this year – for the better. It's not personnel, it's coaching. Richt won his first few years, and then he decided, by his own admission, to follow in Bowden's footstep to be a CEO of football. This is not the right path for Richt. McGarrity's first action was to re-focus Richt onto football and off of CEO issues. Since then, recruiting improved, off-season problems have dropped, and competion for positions has increased. And if things don't change for the better, well, there will still be a change.
Also, Nick Saban's 3-4 defense at Alabama struggle the first year until he had the personnel in place. In year 2, he went 12-0 in reg. season, In year 3, he won a national championship. Looking forward to year 2 of Grantham's defense.
April 27th, 2011
11:42 am
1eyedJack nailed it. The players who were drafted at a high level played at a high level or they would not have gone to the NFL. Georgia did not get the breaks that the 2006 Gator team, or the 2007 LSU team got in getting to the BCS games when they had the best team in the nation twice in Richt's tenure. If anyone out there is not football smart enough, and/or willing to admit it, the Ohio State Buckeyes would not have beaten UGA in 2002, or 2007 for that matter. The 2008 team should have never been ranked #1 in the nation after it was learned that half the team was injured, but it was. Then when it did not live up to the billing, the team, and program, and Mark Richt himself was ridiculed for something that he could not do anything about.
Richt was told by McGarity that the off the field issues were going to stop imediately, or else. I know this for fact, as I was told this by two different large contributors to the UGA Atheletic Department. Now I don't know whether McGarity told Richt and staff that they would be fired if they lost the first two or not, but who knows?
Let's just all hope for a very quiet offseason, as I believe that is key to the 2011 season, along with some leadership from some players who have not provided leadership before.

when riley, Peterson and Patterson play an SEC schedule and produce 11-1 and 12-0 records, I will give them some credit.
Oregon state is nothing to braga bout.
boise makes a living off of 1 game a year
Same for TCU
boise beat VT, big freaking deal. ACC Champs? Please.
TCU beat wisconsin. Please. Slow and slower.
The media darlings at ESPN have painted this rosy picture about these overrate dprograms that beat one decent team a year and then play no one.
It is funny how Jared Zabranski was a Heisman front runner and Boise was the BCS darkhorse pick until they ventured into SEC territory.
I expect the same about Kellen Moore in 2011. Then it will be "UGA caught Boise in a down year".

yes because no matter HOW GOOD you are on offense, when the defense is bad, then it makes everyone look worse… remember how Eric Zeier lit up the field, but the D couldnt stop ANYONE??
Same thing with AJ Green, stafford, moreno…… the offense would score 40 points and still lose..
Coach Grantham fixes that??? and things turn around….
thanks though for a GREAT anti-UGA headline that the rival fans can just feast on… stupid Bill…

First of all Miami and FSU have not done much their talent and consider their competition. Georgia's biggest problem is the conference. Week to week we play potential NC teams. Some of the other schools on the list do not have that issue. Last year the Dawgs were awful, no excuses. Other years we have had tons of talent pleaged by injury. Our best team had a broken O-line a few years ago. That team healthy could run the table. Anyone who doesn't think a little bit of luck and timing is involved is insane. Look at Auburn. They had two of footballs best players on each side of the field in 1 year. They only had it for one year. The rest of the top of the SEC was recovering from loosing tons of players. The east was a disaster. Timing and luck matter.

Last time i check Football is a team sport. You can have an absolute great player at one position but that can be negated by having a weak player at another position. Yes, we've had some very good players the past few years (Houston, Jones, AJ, Owens, Atkins) buth their performances have been negated by our weaknesses in other areas. I'm not going to name the weak areas because we all know them. Our record does not mean that these players have underperformed. It only means that we had weaknesses that negated their performances.

Those attempting to make the argument: "UGA recruits top 5/top 10 classes, then what happens"….
The answer is: We win. 96 games in the past decade…. 2 conference titles, 2 BCS bowl games, and a handful of "lesser" bowl victories, and a LOT against Georgia Tech
The argument you want to make is: "How many National Titles have the gotten you the past decade?"
The facts you conveniently ignore: UGA has NEVER had the top 3rd or 4th best recruiting class in the conference. Bama, UF, LSU, Tenn… ALL consistantly have better recruiting classes than UGA…. and look who is winning the championships……
This Dawg fan does not need National Championships to justify the feeling I get when I roll into Athens on a beautiful Saturday in the fall.

Stafford didn't care about UGA? Comically preposterous. On what basis do you make this allegation, Cheifdawg? Stafford spends more time in Athens than any former NFL player from UGA that I know. On to relevant matters: Yes, there's an issue here. We've got too much talent to play as poorly as we have the last 2 or 3 years. At least for the last two years, we've had no semblance of a running game, and that's a glaring problem. Until we start playing solid defense again and start running the ball regularly and with authority, we will continue to flounder. Hoping for a good 2011 for the Red Clay Hounds.

Georgia's success placing individual players in the NFL seems analogous to individual Braves' success in the 60s and 70s. Hank Aaron was winning all those NL home run crowns and other Braves were always in the hunt for individual honors. But it seemed fifth place in the old NL West was about the best we could hope for.
It's well and fine for the 'Dogs regularly to stock the NFL with talent, but beating Florida more than now and again would be much better appreciated.

April 27th, 2011
12:05 pm
It's real simple folks.
We allowed 22 ppg in 2010
We gave up 30+ points 4 times
Van Gorder gave up 30+ points ONCE IN 4 YEARS.
BVG allowed between 14 and 16 ppg from 2001-2004
Get our defense back to allowing 14-16ppg and don't give up 30 or more EVER. We will win 10 or 11 games with the schedule we have.
continue to allow 22 ppg and give up 30+ routinely, we will go 6-6 or 7-5 and we will have new coaches in 2012
April 27th, 2011

You say Moreno's talent was wasted. How so? You think he should have played as a freshman. It amazes me how people use this as a condemnation against Richt but forget the circumstances.
In 2006, Moreno's freshman year. UGA had three very good running backs ahead of him. Kregg Lumpkin, Danny Ware and Thomas Brown. Any reasonable coach would not rush a freshman rb into the mix UNLESS absolutely necessary. All 3 of these players signed contracts for NFL teams so it wasn't like there was no talent in front of him. In his sophomore year, Moreno split time with Thomas Brown. Guess what, Thomas Brown was a helluva player. He gained over 200 yards against Mississippi State that year. I certainly cannot blame CMR for splitting time when TB had that kind of production. In the middle of the year, TB got hurt and KM took over. For one and a half years, KM was great. He left after 3 years. Please tell me how he was underutilized when there were 3 other NFL caliber talent player there at the same time as he was..
It kills me when people spout out stuff and don't know the circumstances behind it..

61 NFL Draft picks.
Ranked #4 out of 120 college football programs.
You somehow twisted that into a negative article?

"Where's all the talent?" Bill, I ask myself the same question every time I read one of your articles.

Defernse finished #4 in scoring, offense #8 in SEC against ranked teams.
Defense ain't the problem.

Yes bill, I have to say, while I enjoy your articles, to say Moreno and Stafford underachieved is just wrong.
Stafford played as a freshman and led us out of a quagmire in 2006.
2007-we blew the SC game at home or we would have played LSU for the SEC title.
2008-they both performed admirably.
Our problems are not that our offense is lousy, it is our defense.
your article is a negative nellie IMO

Cran, my stats can not be disputed.
I know who you are. You are the "I hate Aaron Murray troll" who changes his blog handles and talks to himself.
I GUARANTEE YOU. If UGA gets its defense back to the levels I describe from 2001-2004, Murray will lead us to 10, 11 or 12 wins in 2011.

Agreed, DawginLex. CTG has things headed in the right direction on D and that alone should take care of the anti-Murray trolls who somehow blame him for last season.

For all of you UGA fans who claim the ACJ is not pro UGA – wake up. UGA takes 1 of 3 baseball games from Tech this year (barely) AND WHICH IS THE ONLY OF THE 3 GAMES THAT GETS ANY COVERAGE???

D A, why do you hate Tech so much man? I know you are PRO Bulldog, but come on. Every statement you make on these blogs is "we own Tech, or beat the nerds" Come on man, you should hate UF, they own you!

Whether it was the D's fault, the O's fault or the poor coaching, the answer is yes. Overall the team has underperformed given how much talent they have. I don't want to hear how many games they've won or "they won 10 games blah blah blah". Is the object to win 10 games or to play for the SEC title??
Making an irrelevant team relevant is admirable and deserves a pat on the back but their are probably 50 relevant teams in college football. Their are 10 teams every year that are in the mix for the NC and we aren't one of them and should be given he amount of talent we have every year.

My understanding is that Stafford really wanted to return for his Senior season but when he learned he was the likily frist pick he changed his mind. You have to be complete fool to blame him. And do you really believe that Stafford would not have won a NC if he played on a more complete team like
OK at the time. It takes a complete team effort and some luck to win the mythical national championship as the smart folks on this blog continuously point out!

Deputies say they arrested a 22-year-old man who escaped while handcuffed and his mother, who picked him up afterward.
Miguel Jerry Zepeda fled from Yavapai County Sheriff's deputies on June 6 while still in handcuffs. He had already fled from authorities on two separate locations.
On June 7, deputies went to his mother's home in the 1800 block of Ash Lane, near Camp Verde, after getting a tip that Zepeda was there.
Deputies say they found out Zepeda's mother, 44-year-old Elizabeth Garcia, had left home with Zepeda and returned a few minutes later without him.
When deputies spoke with her, they say she admitted to dropping her son off near the river to keep him away from law enforcement.
Zepeda still wasn't found, despite additional searches of the Village of Oak Creek and Cottonwood.
Garcia was arrested on Wednesday for hiding prosecution.
During questioning, deputies say Garcia admitted picking up her still handcuffed son at a gas station on June 6 after he escaped.
Zepeda had already called her to get a ride out of the area before being put into custody.
Garcia told deputies Zepeda was hiding at a home in the 3100 block of Gold Drive and then she was taken to Camp Verde Detention Center.
Deputies say they went to the home on Gold Drive and Zepeda answered the door.
He allegedly resisted arrest, fled into the home and then ran out the back door.
After continuing to resist arrest, deputies say they were able to handcuff him.
He was taken to Camp Verde Detention Center and booked on charges of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, littering, taking identity of another, escape, theft, aggravated assault on a peace officer, resisting arrest, criminal damage, and possession of marijuana.
