The Department of Defense (Defense Department, USDOD, DOD, DoD or the Pentagon[4]) is the executive department of the government of the United States charged with coordinating and supervising all agencies and functions of the government concerned directly with national security and the United States Armed Forces. The Department is also the largest employer in the world,[5] with more than 2.13 million active duty soldiers, sailors, marines, airmen, and civilian workers, and over 1.1 million National Guardsmen and members of the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Reserves. The grand total is just over 3.2 million servicemen, servicewomen, and civilians.
The Department – headed by the Secretary of Defense – has three subordinate military departments: the U.S. Department of the Army, the U.S. Department of the Navy, and the U.S. Department of the Air Force which oversee the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, and the U.S. Air Force. In addition, four national intelligence services are subordinate to DOD - the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), the National Security Agency (NSA), the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), and the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO). Other Defense Agencies include Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), the Missile Defense Agency (MDA), Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), and the Pentagon Force Protection Agency (PFPA), all of which are under the command of the Secretary of Defense. DOD's military operations are managed by nine regional or functional Unified Combatant Commands. DOD also operates several joint services schools, including the National Defense University (NDU) and the National War College (NWC).
The Department is allocated the highest level of budgetary resources among all Federal agencies, and this amounts to more than one-half of the annual Federal discretionary budget.
On February 26, 2013 the Senate confirmed Chuck Hagel as Secretary of Defense, replacing the retiring Leon Panetta, after a pitched nomination battle and a narrow vote.[6][7][8]
The United States Congress created the War Department in 1789 and the Navy Department in 1798. The secretaries of each of these departments reported directly to the President as cabinet-level advisors.[9]
In a special message to Congress on December 19, 1945, President Harry Truman proposed creation of a unified department of state defense, citing both wasteful military spending and inter-departmental conflicts. Deliberations in Congress went on for months focusing heavily on the role of the military in society and the threat of granting too much military power to the executive.[10]
On July 26, 1947, Truman signed the National Security Act of 1947, which set up a unified military command known as the "National Military Establishment", as well as creating the Central Intelligence Agency, the National Security Council, National Security Resources Board, United States Air Force (formerly the Army Air Forces) and the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The act placed the National Military Establishment under the control of a single Secretary of Defense.[9][11][12] The National Military Establishment formally began operations on September 18, the day after the Senate confirmed James V. Forrestal as the first Secretary of Defense.[11] The National Military Establishment was renamed the "Department of Defense" on August 10, 1949, in an amendment to the original 1947 law.[13]
Under the Department of Defense Reorganization Act of 1958 (Pub.L. 85–899), channels of authority within the department were streamlined, while still maintaining the authority of the Military Departments. Also provided in this legislation was a centralized research authority, the Advanced Research Projects Agency, eventually known as DARPA. The Act moved decision-making authority from the Military Departments to the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Secretary of Defense. It also strengthened the command channel of the military over U.S. forces from the President to the Secretary of Defense. Written and promoted by the Eisenhower administration, it was signed into law August 6, 1958.
The Secretary of Defense, appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate, is by federal law (10 U.S.C. § 113) the head of the Department of Defense, "the principal assistant to the President in all matters relating to Department of Defense", and has "authority, direction and control over the Department of Defense". Because the Constitution vests all military authority in Congress and the President, the statutory authority of the Secretary of Defense is derived from their constitutional authorities. Since it is impractical for either Congress or the President to participate in every piece of Department of Defense affairs, the Secretary of Defense, and the Secretary's subordinate officials generally exercise military authority.
The Department of Defense is composed of the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) and the Joint Staff (JS), Office of the Inspector General (DODIG), the Combatant Commands, the Military Departments (Department of the Army (DA), Department of the Navy (DON) & Department of the Air Force (DAF)), the Defense Agencies and DoD Field Activities, the National Guard Bureau (NGB), and such other offices, agencies, activities, organizations, and commands established or designated by law, or by the President or by the Secretary of Defense.
Department of Defense Directive 5100.01 describes the organizational relationships within the Department, and is the foundational issuance for delineating the major functions of the Department. The latest version, signed by former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates in December 2010, is the first major re-write since 1987.[14][15]
The Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) is the Secretary and Deputy Secretary's (mainly) civilian staff.
OSD is the principal staff element of the Secretary of Defense in the exercise of policy development, planning, resource management, fiscal and program evaluation and oversight, and interface and exchange with other U.S. Government departments and agencies, foreign governments, and international organizations, through formal and informal processes. OSD also performs oversight and management of the Defense Agencies and DoD Field Activities.
OSD also supervises the following Defense Agencies:
Several defense agencies are members of the United States Intelligence Community. These are national-level intelligence services that operate under the jurisdiction of the DOD but simultaneously fall under the authorities of the Director of National Intelligence. They fulfill the requirements of national policy makers and war planners, serve as Combat Support Agencies, and also assist non-DOD intelligence or law enforcement services such as the Central Intelligence Agency and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
The military services each have their own intelligence elements which are distinct from but subject to coordination by the national intelligence agencies under the DOD. DOD manages the nation's coordinating authorities and assets in the disciplines of signals intelligence, geospatial intelligence, and measurement and signature intelligence and also builds, launches, and operates the Intelligence Community's satellite assets. DOD also has its own human intelligence service which contributes to the CIA's human intelligence efforts while also focusing on military human intelligence priorities. These agencies are directly overseen by the Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence.
|National Intelligence Agencies under DOD
The Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) is a body of senior uniformed leaders in the Department of Defense who advise the Secretary of Defense, the Homeland Security Council, the National Security Council and the President on military matters. The composition of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is defined by statute and consists of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS), Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (VCJCS), Senior Enlisted Advisor to the Chairman (SEAC), and the Military Service Chiefs from the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps and the National Guard, all appointed by the President following Senate confirmation.[16] Each of the individual Military Service Chiefs, outside of their Joint Chiefs of Staff obligations, works directly for the Secretary of the Military Department concerned, i.e. Secretary of the Army, Secretary of the Navy, and the Secretary of the Air Force.[17][18][19][20]
Following the Goldwater-Nichols Act in 1986 the Joint Chiefs of Staff do not have operational command authority, neither individually nor collectively, as the chain of command goes from the President to the Secretary of Defense, and from the Secretary of Defense to the Commanders of the Combatant Commands.[21] Goldwater-Nichols also created the office of Vice Chairman, and the Chairman is now designated as the principal military adviser to the Secretary of Defense, the Homeland Security Council, the National Security Council and to the President.[22]
The Joint Staff (JS) is a headquarters staff in the Pentagon, composed of personnel from all the four services, that assists the Chairman and the Vice Chairman in discharging their responsibilities and is managed by the Director of the Joint Staff (DJS) who is a Lieutenant General or Vice Admiral.[23][24]
|Military Departments of the DOD
There are three Military Departments within the Department of Defense:
The Military Departments are each headed by their own Secretary (i.e., Secretary of the Army, Secretary of the Navy and Secretary of the Air Force), appointed by the President, with the advice and consent of the Senate. They have legal authority under Title 10 of the United States Code to conduct all the affairs of their respective departments within which the military services are organized.[25] The Secretaries of the Military Departments are (by law) subordinate to the Secretary of Defense and (by SecDef delegation) to the Deputy Secretary of Defense.
The Secretaries of the Military Departments, in turn, normally exercises authority over their forces by delegation through their respective Service Chiefs (i.e., Chief of Staff of the Army, Chief of Naval Operations, Commandant of the Marine Corps, and Chief of Staff of the Air Force) over forces not assigned to a Combatant Command.[26]
The Secretaries of the Military Departments and the Service Chiefs do not possess operational command authority over U.S. troops (this power was stripped from them in the Defense Reorganization Act of 1958), and instead the Military Departments are tasked solely with "the training, provision of equipment, and administration of troops."[26]
A Unified Combatant Command is a military command composed of personnel and equipment from at least two Military Departments, which has a broad and continuing mission.[27][28]
The Military Departments are responsible for equipping and training the troops to fight, while the Unified Combatant Commands are responsible for actual operational command of military forces.[28] Almost all operational U.S. forces are under the authority of a Unified Command.[26] The Unified Commands are governed by a Unified Command Plan, a frequently updated document (produced by the DOD) which lays out the Command's mission, geographical/functional responsibilities, and force structure.[28]
During military operations, the chain of command runs from the President to the Secretary of Defense to the combatant commanders of the Combatant Commands.[26]
The United States currently has nine Combatant Commands, organized either on a geographical basis (known as "Area of Responsibility", AOR) or on a global, functional basis:[29]
Department of Defense spending in 2010 was 4.8% of GDP and accounted for approximately 45% of budgeted global military spending – more than the next 17 largest militaries combined.[30][31]
The Department of Defense accounts for the majority of federal discretionary spending. In FY 2010 the DOD budgeted spending accounted for 21% of the U.S. Federal Budget, and 53% of federal discretionary spending, which represents funds not accounted for by pre-existing obligations.[32] However, this does not include many military-related items that are outside of the Defense Department budget, such as nuclear weapons research, maintenance, cleanup, and production, which is in the Department of Energy budget, Veterans Affairs, the Treasury Department's payments in pensions to military retirees and widows and their families, interest on debt incurred in past wars, or State Department financing of foreign arms sales and militarily-related development assistance. Neither does it include defense spending that is not military in nature, such as the Department of Homeland Security, counter-terrorism spending by the FBI, and intelligence-gathering spending by NASA.
In the 2010 United States federal budget, the DoD was allocated a base budget of $533.7 billion, with a further $75.5 billion adjustment in respect of 2009, and $130 billion for overseas contingencies.[33] The subsequent 2010 DoD Financial Report shows DoD total budgetary resources for fiscal year 2010 were $1.2 trillion.[34] Of these resources, $1.1 trillion were obligated and $994 billion were disbursed, with the remaining resources relating to multi-year modernization projects requiring additional time to procure.[34] After over a decade of non-compliance, Congress has established a deadline of FY 2017 for the DoD to achieve audit readiness.[35]
The Department of Defense was the largest single consumer of energy in the United States in 2006.[36]
In FY 2006, the Department used almost 30,000 gigawatt hours (GWH) of electricity, at a cost of almost $2.2 billion. The DoD's electricity use would supply enough electricity to power more than 2.6 million average American homes. In electricity consumption, if it were a country, the DoD would rank 58th in the world, using slightly less than Denmark and slightly more than Syria (CIA World Factbook, 2006).[37]
The DOD is responsible for 93% of all US government fuel consumption in 2007 (Department of the Air Force: 52%; Department of the Navy: 33%; Department of the Army: 7%; other DoD components: 1%).[37] The Department of Defense uses 4,600,000,000 US gallons (1.7×1010 L) of fuel annually, an average of 12,600,000 US gallons (48,000,000 L) of fuel per day. A large Army division may use about 6,000 US gallons (23,000 L) per day. According to the 2005 CIA World Factbook, if it were a country, the DoD would rank 34th in the world in average daily oil use, coming in just behind Iraq and just ahead of Sweden.[38] The Air Force is the largest user of fuel energy in the federal government. The Air Force uses 10% of the nation's aviation fuel. (JP-8 accounts for nearly 90% of its fuels.) This fuel usage breaks down as such: 82% jet fuel, 16% facility management and 2% ground vehicle/equipment.[39]
The organization and functions of the DoD are in Title 10 of the United States Code.

Investigators found numerous bullet holes in cars that were parked in the area of an early Sunday morning shooting.
The shooting appeared to be gang and drug-related, according to Springfield Police Sgt. John Delaney
Police responded to the intersection of Federal and Worthington streets at about 12:30 a.m. after receiving multiple reports of the shooting. Minutes later, police were notified that a 33-year-old male victim was admitted into Mercy Hospital with a gunshot wound to his midsection, Delaney said.
He was stabilized and transported to Baystate Medical Center for further treatment where he is in good condition, Delaney said.
The victim told police that he had just arrived to the corner where the shooting occurred when shots were fired from a silver Toyota Camry, Delaney said. The victim would not elaborate on more details, though.
The shooting is still under investigation.

Financial Planning and Budgets Section (FPB)
Effective Date: 01/01/1999
Last Modified Date: 03/19/2002
The Chancellor has delegated the administration of approved state budgets to the Director of Financial Planning and Budgets. The Financial Planning and Budgets Office (FPB) establishes the various University budgets as soon as possible after approval has been obtained from the Legislature, the Board of Governors, and the Chancellor.
Continuation Budgets
The Board of Governors, the State Advisory Budget Commission, and the Legislature may make changes in the continuation budgets before including them in the Appropriations Act. The State Budget Officer then advises each institution of its continuation budget after necessary legislative approval, and coordination and review by the Board of Governors and the President. Upon receipt of the approved continuation budgets, the Chancellor reviews them and refers them to the Director of Financial Planning and Budgets.
The continuation budget is permanently allocated to departmental accounts and is automatically rolled over from one fiscal year to the next by the computerized financial reporting system (FRS). Adjustments are made to these accounts as needed to reflect the action(s) taken by the Legislature.
State Budget Office Approval
FPB prepares budget revisions to continue into a new fiscal year those requests of a continuing nature that were approved after the continuation budget requests were originally submitted by the University.
FPB distributes the approved continuation budgets (after adjustments for the continuing revisions) to one or more departmental accounts (X-XXXXX), consisting of subsidiary ledger and account identifier for each. Attributes are assigned to each account to identify the state code, purpose, and department in which the activity is located. Each account is for an activity for which the University must maintain separate cost records for operating, budgeting, and financial reporting purposes. The funds contained in each account are, in turn, split up and budgeted among the Budget Control Level object codes.
See also: FPB Appendix 1, Object Codes for Budget and Expenditures
Expansion Budgets
The President's Office and the Board of Governors review UNC-Chapel Hill's request for expansion budget, along with those for other branches of the University. The expansion budget is to provide funding for the expansion of existing programs and the creation of new programs. These requests are submitted to the State based upon relative need and in the priority determined most desirable to meet the objectives of the University system.
After the Legislature makes its appropriation to the Board of Governors for the expansion budget, the Board of Governors makes allocations to each constituent institution, based upon the Board's evaluation of relative need and importance in helping the University system meet its responsibilities as an educational institution and to the people of North Carolina. At this point, the Chancellors are given an opportunity to make recommendations as to the relative importance of the various changes originally requested, as well as any new changes that should take priority over those originally requested.
UNC-Chapel Hill Allotment
The Board of Governors allocates appropriations to Carolina to support expansion of programs and creation of new programs.
Notification of Allocation
The Director of Financial Planning and Budgets advises the provost, vice chancellors, and the appropriate department heads of the expansion budget approved for their areas of responsibility. This also applies to enrollment changes and to faculty and EPA salary increases.

March 25, 2012
The eighth-ranked Virginia women's tennis team suffered its second consecutive 4-3 loss, falling to No. 11 North Carolina on Sunday. The Cavaliers fall to 12-4 overall (3-2 ACC) with the loss.
"Give North Carolina credit, they played well today," said head coach Mark Guilbeau. "I don't want to make an excuse, but it was difficult for us without Chili (Li Xi), who was playing as well as anyone on the team before she got hurt. We had a bad start to doubles but fought back and could have pulled out that point. In singles, that was as good as we have played all season at 1, 2 and 3, but our depth isn't where it needs to be right now. We will learn from this weekend and move forward as a team."
Virginia fell behind early by losing the doubles point. The Cavaliers had a slow start, losing either the first three or four games of each match, and the Tar Heels took advantage of that at No 3 where Caroline Prince and Gina Suarez-Malaguti topped Caryssa Peretz and Molly O'Koniewski, 8-1.
The Cavaliers rallied from the early deficits to draw even at the top two positions. At No. 1, Hana Tomljanovic and Erin Vierra erased a 6-1 deficit to draw even at 6-6, but UNC's Lauren McHale and Shinann Featherston won the final two games to hold on for an 8-6 win and clinch the doubles point. Emily Fraser and Lindsey Hardenbergh rallied from down a late break and saved a match point to come back for an 8-7(3) win over Tessa Lyons and Haley Hemm at No. 2.
North Carolina doubled its lead in singles as Lyons completed a 6-2, 6-1 win at No. 6 over O'Koniewski. Virginia's first point of the match came at No. 1 where Fraser downed Zoe De Bruycker 6-2, 6-1. The Tar Heels posted straight set wins at No. 5 and No. 4 to clinch the victory as Suarez-Malaguti defeated Peretz and Price downed Vierra.
The Cavaliers won the final two matches on the courts to make the final score 4-3. Tomljanovic defeated No. 26-ranked McHale in three sets at No. 3 for the highest ranked win of her career. Hardenbergh edged Featherston in a third-set match-tiebreaker at No. 2 to conclude the match.
Virginia returns to action on March 31 as it visits NC State. Match time in Raleigh is noon.

Dinesh D'Souza on Brooklyn GOP Radio!
in Politics
You won't believe what Dinesh D'Souza had to say to Brooklyn GOP Radio in an EXCLUSIVE interview that we'll air Wednesday at 9PM!
Dinesh D'Souza has had a 25-year career as a writer, scholar, and public intellectual. A former policy analyst in the Reagan White House, D'Souza also served as John M. Olin Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, and the Robert and Karen Rishwain Fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. He served as the president of The King's College in New York City from 2010 to 2012.
Called one of the "top young public-policy makers in the country" by Investor's Business Daily, D'Souza quickly became known as a major influencer on public policy through his writings.
Most recently, D'Souza, the creator of 2016: Obama's America, has taken us on a journey of discovery that bringsyou face-to-face with the heroes who built America, in the times in which they lived, bled, and sacrificed in order to build a great nation: Christopher Columbus, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, and others. You'll be there as Columbus sets foot on American soil, as bullets whiz by in the acclaimed book-turned-film, America.
What he told us about his thoughts of Republican politics today will definitely get your attention! Tune in!
Well, It's Been Fun!

This is the end.
Join Russ Gallo & Gene Berardelli for the FINAL episode of Brooklyn GOP Radio! They'll be discussing last night's primary results in NY state, as well as a round-up of the week that was.
There's also sure to be a slam-bang send-off for Brooklyn GOP Radio. What are Russell & Gene's plans for the future? Tune in and find out!
The GOP - They Could Change, But They Won't!
(GOP) — They Could Change, But They Won't
by BooMan
Thu Aug 7th, 2014 at 12:32:26 PM EST
Rand Paul lays down some truth:
"The party can't become the opposite of what it is. If you tell people from Alabama, Mississippi or Georgia, 'You know what, guys, we've been wrong, and we're gonna be the pro-gay-marriage party,' they're either gonna stay home or — I mean, many of these people joined the Republican Party because of these social issues. So I don't think we can completely flip."
It's really a choice. Does the GOP want to compete in states outside of the Deep South and make themselves into a viable national party that can win a presidential election?
The answer is 'no.'
And, for now, this is a very good thing.
Talking Foreign Affairs w/ Van Hipp
in Politics
Brooklyn GOP Radio welcomed a friend of the show who will be discussing the latest on the crises in the Middle East - Van Hipp, Former Deputy Asst. Secretary of the Army under President George H.W. Bush.
In 1990, Van Hipp was sworn in as Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army (Reserve Forces and Mobilization). In this capacity, he served as the Army Secretariat's "point man" for the successful mobilization, and then demobilization, of the Army's reserve forces for Operation Desert Shield/Storm. Van is currently the Chairman of American Defense International, Inc. (ADI), a Washington, DC based consulting firm specializing in government affairs, business development and public relations who is an expert commentator on the War on Terror and has been a guest on virtually every major cable news network's major news programming.
Plus, join Gene Berardelli and Russell Gallo on a tour of the week that was in political news, including the latest out of Ferguson, MO, the Quinnipiac poll that shows how polarizing Rev. Al Sharpton really is and the flap between Bill de Blasio and a law enforcement union over DNC 2016. Plus, a BIG announcement about the future of Brooklyn GOP Radio that is NOT to be missed?
Click-bait, much? You bet! But tune in anyways!
GOP blocks bills and Voters Rewards GOP for being Obstructionist
in Politics
GOP blocks bills American need and citizens actually vote over and over for the GOP. I can't help but wander who those voter are. In America today, there still lives great numbers of people were actually threatened with loss of lives if they dared go out to vote. People still live whose job was jeopardized if they went and voted. People are actually dead today, because they failed to listen to the threats of death if they even spoke in favor of voting. Today, Americans rank 125 out of 169 countries in lowest voter turnout. What about these numbers makes Americans exceptional? Why does so many American find voting to not be of interest? Why does so many Amerians vote for people who do things that cause more harm than do. What prevents Americans from benefiting from the opportunities available to them.
GOP blocks bills that will save lives of citizens;
put Americans back to work;
assure women access to reproductive services without taking a road trip;
provide jobless with unemployment benefits;
provide support services, jobs and medical assistance to veterans
repair roads and bridges which prevents deaths by neglience and extends the lives of vehicles as well as save money on unncessary repairs.
Voting is the opportunity for Americans to build better roads, schools, hospitals, and opportunties which makes for a better future for all. It is not understandable why so many people vote against all these things. GOP blocks bills and voters rewards the GOP for blocking bills.
Gallo's Back! Plus, Antonacci for the People!
in Politics
The Man. Is Back. Russell Gallo returns to Brooklyn GOP Radio!
Plus, scheduled to come on the show is Bob Antonacci, the attorney / CPA that is the Republican candidate for State Comptroller and the current Comptroller of Onondaga County here in New York.

What is going on here?!?
Join Gene Berardelli and the gang at Brooklyn GOP Radio - and the Brooklyn YRs post-meeting peeps - for a cray-cray review of the week that was. There's sure to be lots of buffoonery discussed
Equal Time At NAACP 105 w/ Wayne Dupree!
in Politics
This week, good buddy (and award-stealer) Wayne Dupree, the sensei of #TeamNinja and founder / creator of We Are America Radio (@WAARadio) was among those who joined FreedomWorks' Deneen Borelli at a conference held across from NAACP Convention in Las Vegas.
Borelli took matters into her own hands after being snubbed by the NAACP for the second year in a row. Borelli, sought to address the organization for their annual meeting, but was "ignored." So, she along with Wayne and other prominent black conservatives like Katrina Pierson, Lesli Brower, Brenda Flank, and the Rev. C.L. Bryant, held their own event in the same hotel, at the same time, as the NAACP convention.
Wayne will join Brooklyn GOP Radio for a first-hand account of what transpired when the two conventions came face-to-face. Plus, the usual hijinks fromt he crew and... Buffoon of the Week!
Obama on the Ropes with GOP Lawsuit that could backfire
Suing the president is an alltime low for the GOP. This is a fight that the DEMS want. It's great for business and recruitment. The President at a small meeting the several days aday starts off the show.
Recent polling but a number of reputable outlets all point to one conclusion -
there is simply no upside to the GOP's chances in the 2014 Congressional races.
To the contrary, they will suffer losses all across the board, including the governorships.
Their share of the Independent vote will fall substantially.
There is simply no compelling reason whatsoever for Independents to cast their lot with a party that is growing ever more increasingly irrelevant as a National Political Party - the GOP.
GOP War on This and That Woman
At state and national levels, GOP officials as well as local wingers have a clear new strategy of Whac-A-Woman. Sure, it's easy to note and prove that Republicans hae an active policy of crushing women's rigfhts under terrible laws. That's already backfired enough that they simultaneously deny the obvious and then publicly report they'll change their ways...to recapture women voters.
What about individual, specific women?
We can expect state and national GOP groups to attack femaile Dem candidates. More telling and more intriguing is the preemptive calumny. We can start with Hillary Clinton and Elizabeth Warren, both long-term targets of wingers, conspiracy mongers, and plain crazies. Manufactured, altered and gain-of-truth issues spill from the bag of tricks.
The natil that sticks up will be pounded down seems the new GOP motto for Democratic women, even those not yet running for the Presidency or other office. We'll muse on how effective this might be for 2014 and 2016. We'll consider which of the winger media are the Greek chorus behind it too.

Shantala Shivalingappa's "Akasha," a program of new Kuchipudi solos, at Jacob's Pillow, July 4 through 7. It was at Jacob's Pillow in the 1960s that I first saw examples of two dance styles that I'd never heard of: Odissi and Kuchipudi. Indrani, that beneficent performer and promulgator of Indian dance, was giving a master class and had brought with her two male dancers, each of them … [Read more...]
Krishna to Krishna: "Damn You!"
The Hindu god Shiva is sometimes pictured in Indian art and philosophy as half-man, half-woman. One beguiling interpretation of this vision is that he ceded half of his body to his beloved consort, Parvati, to show how much he loved her. In Hinduism, the union—or desired union—between masculine god and desirous female soul is the subject of many ravishing poems and dances. But as the three members … [Read more...]

The Exclusive Sponsor of "True Blue" on Get A Life Online is...
True Blue
from Ellis Kell
Argus/Dispatch blues columnist
By definition. the Elixir of Life is an imaginary substance thought to purify and heal the soul, analogous to purifying lead into gold. The newest Elixir now found in the Quad Cities, however, is no imaginary substance or tonic off the snake-oil wagon.
The Quad Cities Own ELIXIR featuring Claudie Smith is a pipin' hot new Blue stew of pure soul, hot funk, down-home Blues and, most recently, the winner of the local QC round of the Iowa Blues Challenge. Soon, it's off to the IBC final round competition in Des Moines for this QC favorite, and one listening should tell anyone that Elixir has all the ingredients to make it all the way to Memphis for the international finals. (For more on the Iowa Blues Challenge, including a page on Elixir and the other competing bands, visit:
on the web.)
Elixir frontman and lead vocalist Claudie Smith was born in Haden, Arkansas and his soulful vocals echo some of the most notable Blues, R&B and soul voices from past and present, including Albert Collins, James Brown and a wide spectrum of influences. Yet, the delivery is his own, and the showmanship is pure heart and soul from Claudie Smith.
Guitarist Joe Collins, Manteca, California has paid his dues on the QC music scene, and is definitely one of the most versatile and inspired guitarslingers in town. Darren "Bo" Butler, of East Moline, has made his mark as one of the area's premier bass players, with incredible funk and soulful technique. Bo locks up tight with QC percussionist extraordinaire Tony Carton, whose drumming is a prime ingredient of this musical potion called Elixir.
One place you check them out live will be at the American Heart Association benefit scheduled for May 9th at the Blackthorn Pub in Moline. We wish them the best of luck at the Iowa Blues Challenge finals in Des Moines on May 19, 2001. If you can follow Elixir down to give them your support at the finals - please do!

(HealthDay News) -- Balloons may appear to be a soothing toy for young children, but experts say uninflated balloons are the leading cause of child suffocation.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission offers this additional information:
Children may accidentally inhale an uninflated balloon and suffocate.
Children may also swallow or inhale broken pieces of a popped balloon and suffocate.
Children under 8 years old should never play with an uninflated balloon.
If a balloon bursts, immediately take all pieces away from a young child.

7 tech predictions for the future from a Google Creative Director. At the Nordic Exceptional Trendshop (NEXT) conference in Aarhus, Denmark yesterday, we were treated to some thoughts about the future from Tom Uglow, a Creative Director based at Google's Creative Lab in London.
Here are seven ideas he has for future tech innovations. It's worth noting that Google isn't necessarily working on these, but it shows some of the ideas that float arounds in the heads of Googlers. 4 Hot Social Gaming Trends to Watch. Prita Uppal is the founder and CEO of YooMee Games, a social competition platform that brings tournaments and cash prizes to skill-based games across websites, social networks and mobile apps.
More than 18,000 interactive gaming industry pros came to San Francisco for the Game Developers' Conference this week, an annual event that draws programmers, artists, producers, game designers, audio professionals, business decision-makers and anyone else involved in the development of interactive games. At GDC in past years, hardcore gamers have been reluctant to accept social games into the fold, but this year there's no denying it. Social games are the fastest growing segment of the gaming market with revenues projected to exceed $1 billion in 2011, and they are here to stay. There's more to social games than harvesting crops, and the future looks full of innovation and opportunity for developers and players alike.

No visit to your favorite tech news site could be had without getting buried in an avalanche of articles about Foursquare, Gowalla, Loopt, BriteKite or a myriad other startups. The big guys quickly followed suit: Yelp introduced "Check-Ins" while Facebook launched "Places" and most recently, Google Latitude updated to incorporate check-ins and check-outs.

Social tools, such as Facebook and Tumblr, are coming to play a new role in news reporting and distribution, while brands are taking on the role of the media by creating and publishing content themselves. Meanwhile, consumers are beginning to access digital content across more devices, often simultaneously, and content creators are responding by creating content for multiple platforms and selling access to them in new subscription offerings.

It began (more or less) with the launch of the Apple's genre-defining iPad tablet and culminated with the ascent of Facebook as the web's most visited site. In between we had the fall of Palm, the rise of Android, the surprise of Groupon and the success of the Facebook movie.

Introduction à la note de tendances 2011 par Vanksen. Après le succès de la note de tendance 2010 nous vous proposons la vision de l'agence de 2011 Bien que Wired ait annoncé la mort du web en 2010 (en fait une formulation choc, pour marquer l'explosion du contenu hors navigateurs (applications, skype,…)), aussitôt remise en cause par Cisco, l'utilisation des « nouveaux » media est plus que jamais en plein boom et en train de transformer notre monde avec l'explosion du mobile, de la géolocalisaton, des « social games » et évidemment le succès jusqu'ici irrésistible de Facebook. Cette énumération technologique ne doit pas nous faire perdre de vue que la révolution vient non de l'innovation technologique mais des changements de comportements qui en découlent comme le rappelle Clay Shirky. Cette révolution sociétale ne vient cependant pas sans tensions, risques ou défis pour les institutions et les entreprises qu'elles soient établies ou nouvelles.

Kelsey Griffin's recruiting took a strange twist on Friday.
In the morning, the 4-star defensive tackle from Mill Creek High School committed to UGA in front of TV cameras.
On Friday evening, Griffin's high school coach told the AJC that he was no longer committed to UGA.
Here's what Mill Creek's Shannon Jarvis told the AJC via text message:
"We are about to load our buses for tonight's game so I will not be able to call. Please know that Kelsey is NOT committed to UGA right now. I know this may sound crazy, but it is the facts."
With Friday's kickoff against Peachtree Ridge fast approaching, Jarvis did not respond another text message asking for further clarification — Did Kelsey Griffin commit to UGA and have a change of heart? Or did Griffin publicly pledge to UGA and later find out that it was rejected by the Bulldogs?
UGA cannot comment on prospective student-athletes, and Griffin was not available for comment on early Friday evening.
Earlier on Friday morning, Griffin sat with his parents at an impromptu press conference at Mill Creek and told reporters from ESPN, Scout and Rivals that he had committed to UGA. It was all captured on video.
"I just decided to commit there; It had been weighing on my heart to commit to the place where I want to be the most … .and it happened to be the University of Georgia," Griffin told Scout's Kristen Ledlow on Friday morning.
At the time, it was huge news for UGA, as Griffin is one of the state's top remaining uncommitted prospects. The 6-foot-1, 290-pounder is ranked as a consensus 4-star recruit and had narrowed down to UGA and South Carolina.
Griffin would've been commitment No. 29 for UGA's 2013 recruiting class – if you're counting JC offensive lineman Trenton Brown, who is still officially committed to the Bulldogs but lists Florida as his leader. ESPN and 247 sports have already removed Brown from its list of UGA commits, and they both have the Bulldogs at 28.
Now, after the news about Griffin's de-commitment on early Friday evening, UGA could be down to 27.

The only explanation for this is that the UGA coaches did not accept his commitment. No way the kid changed his mind.

I think the kid realized that he would have to spend at least 3 years in a city that smells like pickled pig feet, pork rinds, and mountain mash. That would be enough to make me change my mind too.

Kelsey's commitment is just bad timing for UGA at the moment. One of UGA's big priorities is GA native JUCO Toby Johnson DT 6′ 4″ 305lbs Hutchinson Community College, Kansas is taking an official visit to Oklahoma this Saturday. UGA needs this recruit as insurance, in case Kwame Geathers decides to forgo his senior year for the NFL.
Johnson would be coming in playing as a Junior so Griffin should not affect his playing time at UGA but the Oklahoma coaches will use whatever they can, to get in to the heads of these young recruits.
Will Muschamp has already gotten into the head of UGA's commit Trenton Brown causing Brown to waver on his commitment.
Then there is Montravious Adams, UGA coaches attended his HS game just last week. Auburn has long been Adams favorite but UGA is making up ground on both Auburn and Clemson… the chance at signing Adams for UGA has greatly improved. (If Gene Chizik didn't have a 7.5 million $ buy-out clause in his contract, he would be gone after this year) I doubt Montravious is afraid of competition but scholarships for 2013 are becoming few.

Obviously, we don't need this drama. If he's that unstable, leave him alone. Let someone else be saddled with all the problems that come with such instability. We've had more than our share of such stuff.

UGA is learning from their past lessons with big headed recruits. Smart move UGA, Smart Move.

They probably told him he would play tight end at UGA……
September 21st, 2012
7:17 pm
Gaining ground on M. Adams is a long way from getting him and this kid WANTED to play for UGA. Looking at his credentials vs Darius and Clowney, this is just another case of our coaching staff with their heads up their tails, led by CMR!
If you have a choice between a kid who MAY want to play for you and one who WANTS to play for you so bad that he is shutting down his recruitment, the choice should be obvious and would be to most staffs that had a clue!
September 21st, 2012
7:19 pm
And where has it been suggested this kid has an attitude problem or having authority issues?
September 21st, 2012
7:36 pm
Good points, BamaDAWG..
September 21st, 2012
7:37 pm
Bottom line is that CMR in his wisdom has turned away a great prospect in HOPES of getting someone like Henry or Adams.
Where is CMR's stance now on putting up his "fence" around the state of Georgia and keeping the best players at home??? It appears to me that he would rather hold a scholarship open for someone he MIGHT get like Henry from FL, instead of keeping a young man who IS from GA and wants to play for UGA so bad that he said he was SHUTTING DOWN his recruitment because the decision had been made! Great move Richt! The JUCO kid such a solid commit that he has already been taken off of UGA's 2013 commitment list by ESPN and Rivals!!!
This is an embarrassment to UGA. This young man committed to the Dawgs in front of his school, friends and family and then told by CMR that he wasn't wanted…that is BS! If CMR is holding scholarships at this point in HOPES he can sway someone like Henry or Adams, then they should tell the rest of the recruits that are holding offers from UGA that they are no longer good! Then this crap wouldn't happen and we can do like we did last year and get a half-a** class like last year!
So instead of having a 4 Star commit from Georgia in a position that is vital to the 3-4 defense and has OUTSTANDING credentials from what I have read, CMR has made the decision to let him go to SC because he HOPES to sway another recruit. How asinine!
This is just another reason why UGA will win a NC with this coaching staff and will continue to be looked at as a second-class team in the SEC!!!
September 21st, 2012
7:38 pm
Waiting for the update….. my guess is Richt yanked this kids offer pending the decision of a higher ranked prospect. If this were Saban we'd have 4 pages of comments torching him. Most would say this is what happens when you over sign and offer too many kids.
September 21st, 2012

And Thank You GoBigDawg. I appreciate it.
September 21st, 2012
7:45 pm
Bamadawg…. In most instances I would disagree with you and say I trust that the coaching staff has a better understanding of where Adams is leaning. But we are talking UGA here so that really clouds the water. I do disagree that you take the lower ranked kid because he is willing to walk to Athens. If your goal is championships, you recruit the very best and you don't settle near the end when scholly numbers get tight.
September 21st, 2012
7:47 pm
Maybe UGA didn't offer his high school coach any money. Alabama is still paying my high school coach, and I never actually went to bama.
September 21st, 2012

Just play football at tech; you won't actually have to attend any classes.
September 21st, 2012

Saban would wait until national signing day to yank his scholly!
September 21st, 2012
7:57 pm
Kelsey was supposed to stay a silent commit but he decided to go public without the coach's knowledge. This has thrown a monkey rench in UGA's recruitment of other top prospects. ALWAYS contact your recruiting coach BEFORE you go public with your commitment. When you don't, you end up with awkward moments like this!
September 21st, 2012
8:02 pm
does anyone really know what is happening here? How can anyone blame UGA or Kelsey? Wait until the whole story comes out. We have only heard from Kelsey's coach at this point

Naa Saban is too organized to wait till the last minute. If you can post a link saying otherwise feel free to do so.

1. You can never have enough DLmen in the SEC
2. I live 10 minutes from this kid's school-this is a good academic school. This is NOT a problem kid.
3. The problem is Rodney Garner and Richt. This is the type of kid who you want in your program-great motor, good academics, good family. We are too lazy. You sign them all and then worry about it later.

8:20 pm
I told Kelcey if he wanted to be a part of the winning team in the South Carolina-Georgia football series during his time in college, he needed to come up to Columbia. I also told him that the chances of me being his head coach for his career over Richt was much better too, and I'm nearly 80 years old! Yeah yeah, Click Clack!
September 21st, 2012
8:20 pm
This is a nonstory people. He made a mistake in announcing his commitment and UGA can't comment on it yet. Let the smoke clear and it will be fine. It's another instance of instant media coverage that bit him on the butt. No worries

No worries my Dawg brethren. It's gonna be fine. He will be a Dawg. And all of the Tech fans, go back to your Star Trek dvd. And all the Bama losers go back to your girlfriend/cousin, and leave the UGA talk to us Mmkay?
September 21st, 2012
8:31 pm
BC75…. He will fit in nice, well if Richt decides not to pull his scholly. Whats your prediction on Jawja vs vandy? I'm smelling an upset. I think the Dwags pull it out.
September 21st, 2012
8:33 pm
Hopefully for the kids sake, Ga isn't shoving him aside for Monty Adams.
Bama, Fla & Ga have all been negatively recruited against in regards to Adams.
Dabo & Cheese-dip have been tellIng Adams he'll be "stuck" at NT if he chose a 3-4 school.
Are their any intelligent dogs on here?
How many scholly's does Richt have for 2013?
Tunsil, Adams & A Kamara would all get slots over this guy.

Of course, Tunsil is coming to Bama with D-Hen, so I shouldn't have included his name on that list.
September 21st, 2012
8:39 pm
They probably told him he would play tight end at UGA……
Maybe they told him that if he stole a laptop he would get kicked out of school,maybe they told him that they would not give money to his father or maybe they said come in as a tight end until Matt Stafford leaves.
September 21st, 2012
8:42 pm
Mark Richt is a class act, all will be worked out… HS coach spoke out of turn… no coach from UGA has stated anything about Kelsey Griffin's commitment being refused.
Kelsey Griffin is committed to UGA and is rated 4* the #10 DT in the nation, he is exactly the type of kid that UGA wants to recruit, articulate, well spoken, with great character, unbelievable athletic ability for a man his size… why not wait to hear what Mark Richt has to say.
I have heard with 9 early enrollees (January 2013) counting against 2012 class, UGA could sign 34 recruits for 2013. Griffin counts as #29 leaving just 5 schollies available to reach 34. (6 if Trenton Brown decommits)
10 HS players still on the board for 2013 vying for 5 or 6 schollies, who does UGA take:
B Langley CB (committed to USCe)
A. Kamara RB
L. Tunsil OT
T. Crowder OG
K.Priester WR
M. North WR
Toby Johnson DT (JUCO)
M. Adams DT
D. Henry RB

I also told him that the chances of me being his head coach for his career over Richt was much better too, and I'm nearly 80 years old! Yeah yeah, Click Clack
Hey Coach
Your pass defense is ranked 97th in the nation.Your best defensive back is supended and Connor Shaw is not 100% I'd say you should be worried about Missouri because if you play them like you played Vandy it wont just be LSU you'll be whining about losing to.I'd include Arkansas but you might pull that one out.
September 21st, 2012
8:48 pm
If the kid in question was a 1 or 2 star vs a 4-5 star, I would agree with you. But this young man is a 4 star (same as the JUCO kid that IS wavering and is probably going to FL and Adams is also a 4 star, 5 star by some rankings) so in my mind, the answer should be easy.
Especially if he runs a 4.6 40 at 300 lbs! PLUS he has 3-5 years at UGA, versus 1-3 for the JUCO kid.
Again, in my opinion (for what little good it is), this is just another Dumb A** decision by CMR! And the reason our kids are rarely coached up and we struggle in the first half of games (this year–last year it was the second half of games) against inferior opponents.
The biggest difference between CMR and Saban or Meyer is that CMR coaches NOT to Lose and the great coaches coach to WIN! I am not saying CMR is not a great guy or person. But with him and a lot of this staff, UGA will NEVER win a NC!!! And that is sad, because our talent is as good as anyone's in the country.
Again, go back to the Mizzou game. Bobo ran one formation almost the entire game with that shotgun and wingback. Everyone in world knew that the stupid sprint draw, that fooled NO ONE, up the middle was coming because it was the only run we had out of it. If Bobo had mixed bit up with some toss sweeps or ANYTHING else, it might have been different.
With the size of our line, we should have been lining up in the I Formation and running it down their throats! Then, in the 4th quarter (I believe) when we got our first lead and Mizzou had punted us to about the 5 yd line, we lines up in the I and Gurley broke one for 40+ yards. Then what happened, Bobo lined back up in that stupid a** shotgun and threw it three straight times! We had to punt! One would think that you would want to run some time off the clock and shove it down their throats (or Good, Old Fashioned "Old Man" Football! But no, that would make too much sense to establish the run with an O-line that is stronger and bigger than the opponents…because we have seen to this point that Gurley, Marshall, Malcome and Samuels have absolutely NO talent! Right. So let's line up and throw the ball three straight times after our no talent back Gurley just busted a 40 yard run!
Just like telling this 4 Star kid "we don't want you" because we MIGHT sway another 4 star, it just shows the stupidity of this staff! I don't know why I am so surprised about it though. It is not like this crap has just started.

BC75 what I think is interesting is you're on our board. Why don't you troll somewhere else. You can yuck it up RIGHT NOW because Bama does look good, but Georgia is getting better every week. And also closing the gap every year…….so enjoy it while you can. also I think Georgia can sign 33 to 34 if I understand correctly

Title Dawg
He is not a DT, but would be playing nose guard. A position we are NOT loaded at. Especially if Geathers and the other one (name slips my mind at the moment) turn pro after this year, which is very realistic.
September 21st, 2012
9:00 pm
BamaDAWG… standing ovation. Great post! As for the star rating, don't read too much into that. Well at least not at this point that UGA is almost full. They're are 4* LB's that have 2* talent in Bama's 3-4 defense. So I would try and trust the coaches. Additionally, I would imagine they know exactly how many they can take and probably already know who will fill those spots. Many kids have already given the intentions to the coaches but will not go public as they enjoy the game. UGA may be full at his position and this may just be a miscommunication. Then again Richt may just want to look him in the eye when he commits or he doesn't grade as high on their board.

I just stated what I thought…sure don't take these boards seriously…usually read articles on my team and peruse the comments for entertainment…you just seem to always have something negative to say about UGA…I felt like commenting…are you cross ?? Black sac ?? did a Jawja girl leave you hangin' at some point in your life ?? some Jawja boys whip up on you at some point in your life ?? or vice versa ?? I am cerainly not angry…just love SEC football, UGA is my team, and really could care less about the other teams…have never commented negatively about other schools, coaches or players…go dogs

September 21st, 2012
9:31 pm
Again, Thank You.
I am a little confused, however, on some of your points.
I agree with the star numbers and such. Look at our old friend Isaih Crowell. I saw him play in his first game with his new team and I don't think he had 20 yards rushing on 20 carries. Plus, he kept pulling himself out of the game, complaining with his ankle. And he was a 5* recruit…#1 RB in the country. Unfortunately, that is the main thing regular fans have to go on.
As far as believing our coaching staff knows what they are doing…I definitely have concerns with that statement.
Finally, regarding the remaining 5-7 commitments left to fill, there is no way that UGA knows for certain who those are going to be. Going back to DAWG-GAWN's list–which is pretty accurate, I see two that I think UGA has a legitimate shot at. Two others are already committed somewhere else and we have as much of a shot at Henry as GT has if being allowed to be back in the SEC! The rest have UGA listed as 2nd to 5th on their list!
Bottomline, if you have an in-state kid who is smart, athletic and as talented as this kid seems to be, why in the hell is our staff not welcoming him with open arms? Because one of those other kids MIGHT switch? That is a JOKE!
Just like another person posted earlier, UGA is losing top recruit after top recruit to Bama, Clemson, FL, FSU and SC! So much for CMR securing the borders and we are pushing a kid who wants to play for us straight into SC's direction! And if I was this kid after being told by UGA and CMR that I wasn't wanted, there is no way in hell I would give them a second chance. But we will WASTE time on Henry, who pretty much told us to go screw ourselves after being committed for almost a year!
Yeah, CMR and his staff know exactly what they are doing…
September 21st, 2012
9:35 pm
Uncle Kirk–great name for a moron.
At least I explain my comments and don't make dumb a** one line comments that don't mean anything.
So if you actually have anything to say, how about you make your point with something to back it up.
If not, go back in the woods with you Deliverance self and leave the adults alone.
September 21st, 2012
9:54 pm
A Bammer (posing as a Dawg) making a Deliverance reference? Talk about irony. I think the proper thing to do would be to wait until all of the information comes out before you start lambasting someone for anything. You sir, have opened your mouth and proven what was once only suspected: You are an idiot. Must be a Willard man, huh?
September 21st, 2012
9:59 pm
SMH… I really hope UGA didn't want to take the kids commitment. That looks real bad on CMR's part if that's the case… this kid actually wants to be here and is a top notch talent and that's something we rarely keep in state. I hope he still visits UGA tomorrow and this is all cleared up. I know Adams is a beast but this kid is no slouch and actually wants to be a Dawg… Looking at the current commitment list he's rated higher than more than half of the commits UGA has accepted … I feel for the kid and his family because he made his declaration in front of cameras and loved ones.. shenanigans I tell ya…
September 21st, 2012
10:12 pm
I know the same thing about this that everyone on here knows…Nothing!
September 21st, 2012
10:18 pm
Another psyco, drama filled high schooler. The kid needs to realize that it does not matter where he goes, he is going to have to learn and and wait. He ain't going to start in D-1 SEC football or anywhere else next year.
I'm so tired of BS!
September 21st, 2012
10:20 pm
Griffin's commitment was indeed declined by UGA, as per Griffin's father… which can only mean that deals have already been struck for the the remaining scholarships and explains why Trenton Brown has not fully decommitted from UGA yet, while declaring UF as his plan B.
Deals have a way of falling apart too… long way to February!
NCAA rules forbids any comment on recruits, from any coach, until the recruit signs his LOI.
Fans may have to wait till February 2013 signing day, to find out who the surprise recruits are.

All UGA fans know that when CMR hands out a scholly he doesn't rescind the offer, even if that athlete gets seriously hurt their senior year. There must be a simple explanation.
September 21st, 2012
10:29 pm
Obviously there was a lack of communication. My bet is that UGA said something to the effect, "we are taking x number of DL." They got that number and failed to tell him or perhaps they did not even have time to tell the young man. I do feel bad for he and his family and I wish him the best of luck.

A fact I bring up every time I am ridiculed for being a UGA fan that grew up in AL. The more realistic fact is that the record is 1-1 against Saban and I would hate to think what it would be if Saban is there after we play them 4 more times. I do not think their players are better than UGA's. But I do think their coaching is that much better with same talent!
Lazy Train
The only thing you have proven is that you can open your mouth and make a moronic statement without anything to BACK IT UP with! If you have an actual point, please make it! Tell me what is moronic about what I have said or would that take time away from your uncle, I mean boyfriend? Facts are facts! Again, CMR is a great person. However, he is NOT a great coach in my opinion. With the talent on this team, there is NO reason UGA shouldn't be competing with Bama for titles and damn sure shouldn't be losing top recruits to FSU (ever been to Tallahassee?), Clemson, SC, Bama, FL or Auburn–ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE ROM GEORGIA!!!
Again, I ask whether or not that is a legitimate statement or not? If you say it isn't, then you are NOT a true Bulldog!!!
Lazy, if you can't back up your DA statement, then jump back in the woods and look after your uncle!

September 21st, 2012
11:16 pm
The negative recruiting "you'll be stuck in a 3-4″ is kind of an odd take. If a 3-4 NT does really, really well in college, about half of the NFL teams will be seriously interested, given the premium that they put on prototypical "Mt. Washington" 3-4 NTs. The $ trade off is that the DE position in a 3-4 isn't valued that highly. The future looks very good for Jenkins, as well as Jarvis Jones as that skilled OLB/pass rush "end" for 3-4 teams.

Funny how SOME( not all) UGA fans change their story(tune), spin their story when it looks from the outside that UGA really put the screws to this kid. Talk about honoring a scholarship offer!
If it is academics, or other issues then they should have pre-cluded their offer, but some spin it to turn the negativity to other schools.
September 21st, 2012
11:59 pm
After this kid committed on TV something must have happened and I think the truth will come out in a few days , so why speculate. He apparently didn't understand something about the recruiting process , whether it concerned grade or Georgia's needs or timing. Give it a few days. No need for all this drama.

Apparently, Bammer(fake Dawg fan) is also lacking in reading comprehension as well as being an idiot. He sounds like he has about a fifth grade mentality anyway. Another fine product of the Alabama school system. Go back and read my post very slowly this time. If you still don't know why I called you an idiot after that, ask your Mommy to read it for you. Maybe the two of you can work it out. LOL Now I definitely know he's a Willard man! There are things called facts, of which you don't have, and yet you feel the need to comment about this situation anyway…Stupid really is as stupid does!

Dewnsav… was quoting you a little Doc Holliday from Tombstone. Take 0.0025% of what I post to heart. Just a way to pass the time.
BamaDawg… hang in there. CMR has a plan. I know it must be hard to see it after watching him hand out a dozen schollys to walk on players but I feel certain he has one.

The story did come out moron and the kid committed and it was not accepted by our coaching staff! It must your lacking education for you not to see it in the first place.
Therefore, I guess my Alabama education was a hell of a lot better than yours and your uncles because everything I stated is, was and is always TRUE! Go back to your trailer and find your boyfriend and maybe he can explain the facts of life to you finally. At 40 or so years old, maybe you can handle it by now.
I hope you are correct. I lost faith in CMR when he had to be forced to get rid of Martinez as DC. If he could not see the problems without having to have someone point it out to him (and that situation was awful, even to Lazy and his third grade education), in my opinion, he should have been gone. That was agonizing to watch and CMR sat back and let it happen!
Again, I hope you are right. I must admit, l am not holding my breath on it though. Only time will tell.

Saban and Alabama MUST wint EVERY game and the NC EVERY year or they are failures. Why? Well they got the program with the most tradition, NC's recruiting base etc, in the nation going for it and then you go and buy the best college football coach in the nation and maybe EVER….Bama is playing with a stacked deck and should never lose a game and certainly never lose te SEC or national championship….EVER. if they do, SHAME on them. That should never happen. Best football school of all time with the best coach….win it all or take your medicine when you lose ONE game as you SHOULD….

Will you please clarify one thing..,
Are you a Bama fan or Georgia fan? In one post you sound as if UGA can't be beat and the next one, Bama will win forever!
Just wondering,,,

Guys, might better check on the character of the ga recruiting coordinator before you bash a kid on his decision making ability. A man has his word and that's it. If the man tells a kid something, he should stand by it. The facts will come out. In the meantime lay off the kid. He is doing and saying the right thing. Heard anything from ga?
