The resignation of a director is effective without acceptance when the notice is given to the Association, unless a later effective time is specified in the notice.

Section 3.05. Removal of Directors. A director may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by an affirmative vote of two-thirds of the board of directors.
Section 3.06. Vacancies. Any vacancy in the board of directors caused by death, resignation, removal, an increase in the number of directors, expiration of term, or any other cause, shall be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors, and the term of the director filling the vacancy shall expire at the end of the term the director is filling.

Section 3.07. Time, Place and Manner of Meetings. The board of directors shall hold its meetings at such time and place, and in such manner as it may from time to time determine, including the annual meeting – see section 3.10.

The board of directors may specify that a meeting will be conducted solely through one or more means of remote communication, provided that notice is given, as specified in Section 3.13, and that the quorum requirements specified in Section 3.14 are met. Remote communication includes any communication that is accomplished by means of electronics, telephone, video, or internet conferencing, or such other means through which persons not physically present in the same location may communicate with each other on a substantially simultaneous basis. Participation in a meeting through a form of remote communication that is authorized by the board of directors constitutes personal presence at the meeting.

The notice shall state the time, place and manner of the meeting, but need not state the purposes thereof. Notice will be deemed waived by any director who attends the meeting in person or participates in the meeting via remote communication, unless the director objects at the beginning of the meeting that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened and does not participate in the meeting. Notice also may be deemed waived if the director consents to such waiver of notice in writing or by electronic communication which meets the requirements of Section 3.18, before, after or during the meeting.
Section 3.14. Quorum. Except as otherwise provided by statute or by these Bylaws, a majority of the directors currently holding office shall be required to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting. The act of a majority of the directors present at any duly held meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the board of directors. In the absence of a quorum, a majority of the directors present may adjourn a meeting from time to time until a quorum is present. Notice of any adjourned meeting need not be given, other than by announcement at the meeting at which adjournment is taken. If a quorum is present when a duly called or held meeting is convened, the directors present may continue to transact business until adjournment, even though the withdrawal of directors originally present leaves less than the number otherwise required for a quorum.
Section 3.15. Proxy Voting. Proxy voting shall not be permitted.
Section 3.16. Action Without Meeting. Any action that may be taken at a meeting of the board of directors may be taken without a meeting, when authorized in a written action signed or consented to in an electronic communication which meets the requirements of Section 3.18. If authorized in the Articles of Incorporation, the written action must be approved, in one or more counterparts, by the number of directors that would be required to take the same action at a meeting of the board of directors at which all directors were present. If the Articles of Incorporation are silent regarding written action, the written action must be approved, in one or more counterparts, by all of the directors. If the Articles of Incorporation provide for a different requirement regarding the number of votes required for a written action, the Articles of Incorporation shall be followed.
Section 3.17. Conflicts of Interest. Except as permitted by law, with respect to any contract or other transaction between the Association and any director or Member (or an organization in which a director or Member is a director, member, officer or legal representative or has a material financial interest): (a) the material facts as to such contract or transaction and as to the person's interest must be fully disclosed or known to the board of directors prior to approval of such contract or transaction; (b) such approval shall require the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors, not counting any vote that the interested director otherwise might have; and (c) an interested director shall not be counted in determining the presence of a quorum.
Section 3.18. Electronic Records and Signatures. The Association recognizes that authenticated electronic communication which meets the requirements of this section may legally satisfy written record and signature requirements necessary for valid records, signatures, and contracts. Authenticated communications are those communications that set forth information from which the Association can reasonably conclude that the communication was sent by the purported sender and are delivered to the principal place of business of the Association, or to an officer or agent of the Association who is authorized by the Association to receive the communication. Electronic records are records that are created, generated, sent, communicated, received or stored by electrical, digital, magnetic, wireless, optical, electromagnetic or similar technologies. Valid electronic signatures are those that are expressed through an electronic sound, symbol or process, and that are logically associated with a record and executed or adopted by a person with intent to sign the record.

Section 4.03. Resignations. Except as otherwise provided in an employment contract, an officer may resign by giving notice to the Association. The resignation is effective without acceptance when the notice is given to the Association, unless a later effective date is named in the notice. Notice provided in writing or by an electronic communication which meets the requirements of Section 3.18 may satisfy the notice requirement.
Section 4.04. Removal. An officer may be removed, with or without cause, by a resolution adopted by the board of directors.

I love you Daft Punk, I love you Zedd, I love you deadmau5, I love you Porter Robinson, I love you Madeon, I love you Skrillex, I love you Dillon Francis, I love you Knife Party, I love EACH and EVERY producer out there that has changed my life.

Google Quietly Giving Aid To Marijuana Activists
(HuffPost) Cancer patients who Google the words "chemotherapy nausea" today get a host of advertisements for treatment, including pills, skin patches and folk remedies used to prevent vomiting. Next month, however, the same search will turn up an ad for something a bit more controversial: medical marijuana.
The change comes courtesy of the charitable unit of Google, which last week gifted a Michigan medical marijuana advocacy group $120,000 worth of its services. As part of the grant, the group, Michigan Compassion, will be able to promote medical marijuana use through Google's popular AdWords platform — the plain-text advertisements that pop up to the right side of any given search result.
Michigan Compassion does not sell marijuana but connects patients and growers, and it says the ads will appear alongside searches likely to be made by chemotherapy patients.
"The goal is to link the negative effects of chemotherapy and the positive effects of cannabis," Amish Parikh, vice-president of Michigan Compassion, told The Huffington Post.
The ads' value is small in the scheme of Google's AdWords program, which brings in over $40 billion per year in revenue, but they represent a change for the Mountain View, Calif. firm, which has a strict policy against hosting ads for marijuana-related searches.

Brain & Nervous System Health Center
What Happens in Encephalitis?
Encephalitis is a serious, sometimes fatal condition. People often recover fully from the illness within a couple of weeks, but others, especially children and older people, may have permanent problems such as seizures, memory loss, personality changes, or brain damage.
The chance of dying from encephalitis or having permanent problems after recovery depends on what caused the encephalitis, how severe the illness is, how old the person is, and how quickly the illness develops.
- In cases of encephalitis that are caused by the mumps, measles, flu, chickenpox, or mononucleosis (Epstein-Barr) virus, most people recover within 1 to 2 weeks. Serious illness and death can occur, but this is rare.
- In the United States, the vast majority of people recover from encephalitis caused by mosquito-borne viruses. These types of encephalitis include St. Louis encephalitis, La Crosse encephalitis, western equine encephalitis, eastern equine encephalitis, and West Nile encephalitis. The death rate ranges from 1 to 33 out of 100 people in these types of encephalitis.1
- Herpes simplex encephalitis has a death rate of 70% to 80% when it is not treated. But early treatment with acyclovir lowers the death rate to about 30%.2 Among those who survive the most severe form of this disease, many have permanent neurological problems, including seizures, memory loss, and dementia.
In general, young children, older adults, and people who have impaired immune systems are at the greatest risk of serious illness, permanent neurological problems (such as seizures, memory loss, personality changes, or intellectual disability), or death as a result of encephalitis.

The victims are the driver and passenger in a car rear-ended by a semi on US-127 Tuesday afternoon.
BATH TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WLNS) - Perry Road, which lies in a neighborhood and splits Bath and Meridian, will be a hot topic on Bath Township's board meeting Tuesday.
Neighbors are at odds about whether to add sidewalks along the road after one woman's near-death experience, which she says could've been avoided if there were sidewalks to protect her.
It takes Susanne Maus a little longer to get around now. She lives on Perry Road in Bath Township--a road bikers, walkers and cars have to share because there are no sidewalks.
"I've always felt it was dangerous and someone would get injured eventually. Little did I know, it would be me," said Maus.
Last year, she was hit by a truck while biking. She suffered a traumatic brain injury and lost her left leg. She says it's a concern that the same thing could happen to someone else, which is why Maus has led the effort to add sidewalks.
In June, Bath Superintendent Troy Feltman says the township board agreed to put sidewalks in, but now they're re-considering that decision.
"Now there's a group of residents who've decided they don't walk a sidewalk down Perry Road, so that's the crux of the issue," said Feltman.
Neighbors objections aren't the only roadblock to sidewalks on Perry. Another issue that complicates the debate is that Perry Road splits two different counties, so any decisions the board makes, might only affect one side of the road.
Unless Meridian Township also agrees to build a sidewalk on its side of the road, which Feltman says isn't likely.
"There's no commitment from Meridian Township to continue the sidewalk, so in essence they call it a sidewalk to nowhere," said Feltman.
Though she lives in Bath, Maus's accident happened on the Meridian side of the road.
6 News spoke to neighbors who say they're against the sidewalks. They say there are better alternatives that may be cheaper like bike lanes. The township superintendent says many just don't want the construction on their properties.
They'll meet Tuesday at 7p.m. and discuss it. The board will vote later in the meeting, but whatever they decide, only applies to half the road. The other half is Meridian Township.

And that's all she wrote. The Brumbies win 39-17, securing a bonus-point win and all-but wrapping up top spot in the Australian conference, ending an eight-year finals drought. Now we'll wait for scans to see if White's shoulder is ok.
80: And the siren sounds while the rebels pack down for a scrum. They're looking for one final score...
74: Just 11,055 turned up to see the Brumbies put themselves within sniffing distance of their first play-off berth since 2004 - when they also won the Super Rugby title. The Reds will need to beat the NSW Waratahs by about 120 points and rely on the Brumbies losing to pinch top spot in the Aussie conference and an automatic play-off spot. The Brumbies now sit on top of the Super Rugby ladder, three points ahead of the Chiefs.
69: Now the Rebels are over in what's becoming a shoot-out. Paul Alo-Emile has been credited after he burrowed over from close range. Brumbies 39-17.
64: And it's finally becoming the route that was promised from the opening exchanges, Zack Holmes goes over this time. He's also leaving the Brumbies next season to get more opportunity, back to his old club in Perth. Brumbies 39-10.
57: And that roar was Colby Faingaa scoring against his future club. When the Brumbies run the ball they look fantastic, which is probably why the crowd don't like the kicking game. Rathbone comes off, Robbie Coleman on. Brumbies 32-10.
53: For those left in Canberra and not at Bateman's, that roar you just heard was Henry Speight storming over for the Brumbies fourth try of the night. If they hold on from here that's five points and top spot on the Australian conference, unless the Reds can win by 100 points in the final round with the Brumbies losing. Brumbies 25-10.
48: Make that a reverse wobble by the Brumbies. Once again surging from the kickoff. A Henry Speight jig ends a few metres short, then the forwards did some bash and crash for a while until Toomua flicked it wide to Rathbone on the overlap and it's his second time across the stripe. Prior misses the conversion. Rathbone really has lost nothing, he's still charging like a rhino. Brumbies 18-10.
45: The Brumbies surged from the restart and had the tryline almost at their beckoning, but a wayward pass is pounced upon by the Rebels who run almost the length of the field for Tom English to score a converted try. Brumbies 13-10. Brumbies wobbling again...
43: Mogg finds his kicking raider and sinks a long penalty shot from in front almost 50m out. Brumbies 13-3.
Second half about to start and for those punters out there I have some piping luke warm chips courtesy of Blocka. And the kicking battle resumes. Apparently there were 46 kicks in the first half, that's more than one a minute. Could be watching the AFL...
So while the play meandered a bit during the second half of the first half there were still plenty of talking points out of that 40: where are the Brumbies fans? Will White's shoulder cost him a shot at the Lions? Is Matt Toomua underrated as a flyhalf? Or is his haircut not marketable enough to form a Wallabies-worthy brand like James O'Connor? Will I get my chips delivered or will Chris Blocka Dutton devour them on the way back from the canteen?
40: We're seeing some delightful kicking by Matt Toomua, while the crowd obviously wants him to keep the ball in hand and run, he's almost landing his kicks on a dime. And that's how the half ends, with a Brumbies kick to the corner. Brumbies 10-3.
27: Looks like some good news for Brumbies and Nic White fans. They're hoping he just has a "stinger" to his right shoulder, but he'll go for scans tonight...
22: And the Brumbies have either relaxed or the Rebels have lifted their intensity. Ends with Jason Woodward getting them on the board with a penalty conversion. Brumbies 10-3.
13: The footy gods would prove themselves to be cynical deities indeed if its another shoulder injury. Remember he missed out on the chance of taking over from Will Genia last year when he tore his ACL. But a decision was made for him to undergo surgery just weeks before Genia went down...
11: Clyde Rathbone goes over now! That's two! Brumbies have been in this situation before and let the other teams back into the game. Club legend George Gregan called them to be more ruthless, now's the time for that as Mogg lines up...but its wide again. Brumbies 10-0.
8: Not good signs for Nic White and the Brumbies. White holding his hand awkwardly, had some attention but staying out there, although Ian Prior is warming up. Would be a cruel cruel blow if injury ruins his Wallabies hopes again...
6: Oh dear, the Rebels kick the re-start straight out after Mogg missed the extras. Scrum time at halfway. Brumbies on the attack again...
4 minutes: Try time! That's the first of four needed tries to give the Brumbies a chance of getting five points. Great work by Jesse Mogg threw one cut-out pass to Peter Kimlin and then as the forwards kept the ball moving forward he burst through to get involved again. Eventually led to Scott Sio barging over. Started with a Scott Fardy pilfer at the breakdown... Brumbies 5-0.
And we're away...
So with Wallabies coach Robbie Deans sitting in the crowd, hopefuls such as Brumbies acting captain Nic White and Jesse Mogg have one last chance to impress him and force their way into an expanded 31-man squad for the British and Irish Lions tour. The suspense is building...
Looks like the Brumbies team is as named. The Rebels are without flyhalf Bryce Hegarty (tooth) with James Hilgendorf taking his place. Former Wallaby Luke Burgess will start on the bench.
Well just 20 minutes til kick-off as the Brumbies look to all-but cement their first Super Rugby play-off appearance since 2004. A bonus-point win will give them a five-point buffer and a massive points differential on the Queensland Reds with just one round remaining. But not even that is enough to draw a big crowd for this important Brumbies Rebels game. Long weekenditis has struck again as all of Canberra heads down the coast, once again abandoning their team when they need them most.
Head back from 7.30pm for all the action.
Brumbies v Melbourne Rebels at Canberra Stadium, Canberra, 7.40pm
Head to Head: Brumbies 4 Rebels 1
In Canberra: Brumbies 2 Rebels 0
Last clash: Round 2 2013 - Brumbies 30 bt Rebels 13 at AAMI Park
The Brumbies can secure the Australian conference win with a bonus point victory here. But they'll have to do so with seven of their best players either away on national duties or injured.
Wallabies Dan Palmer and Pat McCabe have returned from their injuries just in time for the Brumbies. The Rebels are also reaching deep into their squad and have made a whopping 10 changes, the most exciting of which is former Wallabies halfback Luke Burgess being named on the bench after returning from French rugby.
The much improved Melbourne outfit have proven they can perform minus their star players, so an ambush is possible.
Tip: Brumbies by 6 points

Thunderbolt Division
Story of the Eighty Third
(Reprint of "The Thunderbolt Division - Story of the Eighty Third" including graphics)
This record of the 83rd Division's activities would not be complete without mention of the men who joined us while we were actively engaging the enemy. To the Reinforcements - without whom our battles could not have been won - I extend a sincere and heartfelt welcome to our Thunderbolt Division. Our past record is a fine example of which we can all be justly proud, but this will become obvious to you while you read through the pages that follow.
To those of you who fought in Normandy, Brittany, the Loire Valley, Luxembourg, the Hurtgen Forest, the Ardennes, and during the drives to the Rhine and over the Elbe, there is no need to relive the experiences encountered or to remind you of the inspiration set forth to us by those of our comrades who were killed or wounded. For it is you who made this history, you who performed the heroic deeds recorded here, you who captured St. Malo, took 20,000 Nazi prisoners in one day, reached the lower Rhine before any other troops. It was you who set an infantry record by racing 215 miles across four rivers in two weeks to establish and hold the only American bridgehead over the Elbe.
To all members of the 83rd Division, old and new, I offer appreciation and sincere congratulations for our splendid victory over the enemy. God bless you all!
USA to Britain
The 83rd Division was reactivated August 15, 1942 at Camp Atterbury, Indiana under command of Major General (then Brigadier General) Frank W. Milburn, who now commands the XXI U.S. Corps. Training began in November, and progress was so rapid that the 83rd was ordered to Second Army maneuvers in Tennessee in July and August 1943. Despite the fact it was the youngest division participating, the 83rd received prominent recognition from higher headquarters. After maneuvers, the Division went to Camp Breckinridge, Kentucky, where the men were given advanced training and primed for overseas duty. On April 6th, the 83rd embarked from New York for England under command of Major General (then Brigadier General) Robert C. Macon. For two months the Division conducted intensive training in the Midlands and Northern Wales. Shortly after D-Day, the 83rd was transferred from the Third to the First Army and left Southampton for the Continent and combat.
Leading elements of the Division landed at Omaha Beach on June 19th after lying offshore in rough channel weather for almost a week. The Division assembled in the vicinity of Bricqueville, Normandy and then moved west to Carentan, where elements of the 101st Airborne were relieved on June 26th. The Carentan sector was heavily defended by crack Nazi SS, Panzer and paratroops. The initial offensive of the 83rd was launched July 4th and the final objective, the high ground in the vicinity of Periers, was reached a few weeks later. Hedgerow fighting has probably been the most difficult of the war. The Germans had four years to prepare defenses against a possible invasion and employed every known defense to stop the American advance. Hedgerows were zeroed in by enemy artillery, paths of machine gun cross-fire were set up and entrenchments were constructed not only behind but also under the hedgerows. Connecting trenches gave the enemy escape routes when their positions were overrun by the doughboys. During this campaign, the 17th SS Panzer Grenadier Division was given a decisive beating by the 83rd. When the Normandy breakthrough came on July 25, the 83rd smashed remnants of enemy resistance to cut the St. Lo-Periers Highway and come to rest astride the St. Lo-Coutances Highway.
Loire Valley
Following the successful conclusion of the St. Malo-Dinard campaign, the 83rd moved to the Loire Valley to protect the entire right flank of the Third Army in its dash across France. The mission began on August 22nd and concluded September 20th. The zone of responsibility assigned to the Division extended from the vicinity of St. Nazaire eastward along the Loire through Nantes, Angers, Tours and Orleans to Auxerre. This is a distance of more than 200 miles - the longest line of responsibility given any division in this war. An 83rd Reconnaissance Troop patrol went south to Bordeaux without mishap. Another went south from Orleans and near Geneva contacted elements of General Patch's Seventh Army moving north from the Mediterranean. During the month on the Loire approximately 20,000 Germans, including Brigadier General Botho Elster, were captured. This surrender included all vehicles, arms and other equipment of the March Group which Elster commanded. Formal surrender ceremonies were held at Beaugency Bridge on September 17th. General Elster turned his pistol over to General Macon and then his 20,000 men marched to a prisoner of war enclosure. This was the largest mass surrender of the war. The 83rd transferred from the Third to the new Ninth Army during this operation.
On September 24th the Division moved across France, into Luxembourg to take up positions along the Moselle and Sauer Rivers and relieve elements of the 5th Armored and 28th Infantry Divisions. Enemy pockets on the Luxembourg side of the Moselle and Sauer were eliminated and patrols sent across into Germany. From positions on the Luxembourg side of the rivers, 83rd artillery units smashed at enemy rail movements and knocked out several enemy troop and supply trains. While in Luxembourg, the Division was in the Third, Ninth and First Armies at various times and prior to leaving for Germany was on the extreme south flank of the First Army. In Luxembourg, large scale entertainment programs were set up, including movies, USO shows and Red Cross doughnut wagons. During the German occupation of the country, many entertainment restrictions had been imposed by the Nazis. When the 83rd took over the capital city, GI dance bands provided music in some of the night spots and many lasting acquaintances were built up between the liberated and the liberators.
Hurtgen Forest
In early December, the Division moved north to the Hurtgen Forest in Germany to relieve elements of the 4th Infantry Division which was fighting within the Siegfried Line. Despite ankle-deep mud, heavy enemy artillery barrages and fanatical Nazi resistance, the 83rd slugged its way out of the dense forest and seized the western bank of the Roer River in the vicinity of Duren. Seven key villages guarding the approaches to the Roer fell to the 83rd as the enemy retreated. Stiffest resistance was met in the villages of Gey, Gurzenich, and Strass. The 331st Infantry broke the backbone of the resistance at Gey, while in Strass the 3rd Battalion of the 330th Infantry was cut off for three days and subjected to heavy enemy counterattacks. Despite their precarious position, the men of the battalion fought off the Germans and took more than 150 prisoners during the siege. Finally the 3rd Battalion of the 329th hammered its way into the village and routed the Germans. Patrols from the 329th Infantry entered Duren after the regiment took the village of Gurzenich directly opposite the city. This was the deepest penetration of German soil made by any American force during 1944.
The Ardennes
Fully entrucked on the night of December 26-27th, the Division moved out of Germany across Holland and into Belgium to help blunt the point of Marshal von Rundstedt's counter-offensive. At Rochefort, the Germans were pushed back. Taking up a position on the northern shoulder of the Salient, the 83rd seized the towns of Ottre, Joubeval, Hebronval, Bihain, Langlir, and Petite Langlir. This cleared the way for the 3rd Armored Division to pass safely through the woods and cut the important St. Vith-Houffalize Highway over which the Germans were withdrawing to the East. Providing a worse foe than the Germans was the bitter cold and waist-high snow of the Ardennes which hampered operations considerably. Morphine syrettes froze and automatic weapons failed to function in the zero weather. When the Division was relieved in mid-January, it had accomplished its mission of completely routing the German attackers and forcing them into a headlong retreat toward the Reich. For this achievement the Commanding General of the VII Corps gave the officers and men of the 83rd high praise for their major contribution in driving the Germans out of the Ardennes.
Elbe Bridgehead
Crossing the Rhine on March 30th, the 83rd struck swiftly to clean out pockets of resistance which had been by-passed by the Second Armored Division. After eliminating these enemy strongpoints, the doughboys crossed the Lippe River at Hamm to aid in the encirclement of the Nazis hopelessly trapped in the Ruhr pocket. On being relieved by other units, the Thunderbolts again smashed eastward in pursuit of the fleeing Wehrmacht and toward the Russians advancing from the east. Utilizing tanks, tank destroyers, motorbikes, captured German vehicles, buses and trailers, the doughboys rode herd against the disorganized Nazis for 215 miles to the Elbe River. In accomplishing this feat, the 83rd wrote a new chapter in infantry history as they liberated over 75,000 Allied prisoners of war, took some 24,000 Germans captive in a 14-day assault that carried them across four rivers into the very heart of Germany and gave the Allies the only permanent bridgehead across the Elbe. Assault-boat crossings of the river were first made by elements of the 329th Infantry after winning the bitter battle of Barby on the west bank of the river, where German civilians fought side by side with Wehrmacht and SS troops in a futile effort to stem the 83rd advance. After establishing the bridgehead, the 83rd successfully fought off several vicious enemy counter-attacks and defended the bridge itself against air attacks and floating mines.
First on the Rhine
During the last week of February, the Ninth Army smashed across the Roer toward the Rhine and industrial Germany. Originally in XIX Corps reserve, the 83rd was committed when the retreat of the enemy turned into a dash to the east bank of the Rhine. Jumping off in the vicinity of Rockrath, west of the Erft Canal , the doughboys plowed northeast toward the German industrial city of Dusseldorf. The outskirts of Neuss, directly across the Rhine from Dusseldorf, were reached later in the afternoon of March 1st and by midnight the center of the city had been taken. Having a normal population of 56,000, Neuss was the largest German city to fall to the 83rd. Infantry patrols were sent across the river and brought back much useful information and 83rd artillery units blasted away at enemy rail and troop movements from their dug-in emplacements in the vicinity of Neuss. The 83rd was the first American Division to reach the lower Rhine and received a high commendation from Lt. Gen. William H. Simpson, Ninth Army Commander, for "characterizing as it does the splendid record of the 83rd Infantry Division since it began operations on the Continent".

Second-guessing is second nature to college football fans, and there's been a nonstop torrent of it in the Bulldog Nation ever since about midway through the second quarter of last Saturday night's Georgia-Clemson game.
Talking with Georgia fans in the days since the opening loss, I've heard a pretty consistent chorus:
Why did Mike Bobo keep trying to run the ball up the middle when it wasn't working? Why didn't he make adjustments against Clemson's blitz more quickly? Why can't the Dogs' offensive line pass protect or open up holes for the backs? Did all that moving around Will Friend has been doing with his players make a veteran — if not spectacularly talented — OL worse? Did Todd Grantham's defense forget how to tackle?
And then there's the ever-popular: Why can't Aaron Murray win a "big" game?
Of course, that last trope ignores two straight victories Murray has engineered over Florida in Jacksonville (even with last year's terrible first half). And if you look at the "big" games where Murray supposedly hasn't gotten it done, a consistent factor is poor protection on the part of his offensive line.
It's also true that most (though not all) of us raising these questions have never coached football and aren't there at Georgia's closed practices, so we don't really know what all goes into the thinking of Bobo and the other coaches.
Let's face it, an offense that racks up more than 500 yards and scores 35 points against a Top 10 team obviously is doing a few things right. And while even the coaches considered the tackling against Clemson to be poor (and addressed it with more contact work in practice this week), no one really expected Georgia's inexperienced defenders to be able to stop the Tigers' uptempo offense.
Granted, emotions run high after a high-profile loss and there's also a certain amount of overreaction going on here. Georgia lost a game by 3 points to a really good team, and had it not been for some key penalties and a botched snap in the second half the Dogs might well have won the game. OK, let's rephrase that: Georgia should have won that game.
Still, that doesn't mean there isn't something to the wisdom of the crowd, and the hope here is that against South Carolina we'll see a game plan that will play more to Georgia's strengths and minimize its weaknesses.
Like recognizing that this offensive line has some talent deficiencies and dealing with the defensive pressure that everyone knows will be coming from Jadeveon Clowney and company by calling more bootlegs, rollouts, quick slants or screen passes. Also, making quicker adjustments to what the other team is doing.
The crowd's also right about Bobo's need to open up Georgia's running game with more sweeps. The middle of the Dogs' OL just isn't getting it done.
On defense, the return of Josh Harvey-Clemons will certainly help, but Grantham still needs to figure out a way to improve the Dogs' perpetually porous run defense. True, Marcus Lattimore, who ran roughshod over Georgia the past three years, is gone. But his replacement, Mike Davis, had a pretty good day carrying the ball against North Carolina.
And as Georgia found out last year in Columbia, South Carolina quarterback Connor Shaw is a legitimate dual threat with those zone reads. The quarterback draw is a big play for the Gamecocks, but I'm sure Grantham is planning on keeping a spy on Shaw. (If not, he can be sure he'll hear plenty about it next week.)
Yes, dealing with Clowney and the South Carolina pass rush is a must, but I think the most important thing the Dogs have to do in order to win Saturday's game is contain Shaw.
As for the Bulldogs' offense, as I told a friend the other day, I'm not nearly so down on Murray as many fans are. I remember how great he was in the Bama game, even if it wasn't quite enough. It was the defense that let us down against the Tide. And if the OL had played even an adequate game against Clemson, I think Georgia comes out on top. Yeah, Murray was a little off-target to start with (though Michael Bennett's great hands allowed a couple of those still to be completions) but for the most part I think the Dogs' quarterback played well enough to win.
Still, looking ahead to this Saturday I'm really concerned how the OL will handle the Gamecocks' rush and hope that Bobo is scheming to deal with that and won't wait too late, like he did against Clemson (as the crowd says). Maybe Georgia should come out with Murray in the shotgun throwing lots of quick passes to loosen up the defense. Perhaps some screens to Keith Marshall, who appears to need more space to get going. I think Bobo needs to extend plays by moving Murray around more. I've seen him throw some absolutely terrific passes while rolling out. Why keep him sitting in the pocket as a target for Clowney?
The Gamecocks' strength is their defensive line, but their linebackers are relatively inexperienced. The odds favor the Dogs whenever they can get the ball past that line, whether it's with Todd Gurley and Marshall running the ball or Murray getting it to his very talented receivers or dumping it off to a tight end or talented young fullback Quayvon Hicks. South Carolina isn't Clemson offensively, so Steve Spurrier likely will find himself outgunned in a scoring shootout.
Despite the disappointment over the Clemson game, I found a resilient strain of optimism among Georgia fans this week. The feeling seems to be that if we see anywhere near the improvement that you generally get between Games 1 and 2 with the defense, Georgia should be able to come out on top in another closely fought match.
So, enough with rehashing the Clemson game. What do you think Georgia needs to do to beat South Carolina?

The players will have to do it. Coaching will not. Just looking at our history. We have more talent than Carolina, But having a OC call 20% of your plays on something that's NOT working is hard to over come. Not adjusting on defense to stop something is hard to overcome. Watching a punt land on the 20 and watch it roll to the 3 is hard to overcome. Sitting on a 7 point lead and playing NOT TO LOSE is hard to overcome. I wish the players good luck.

The first thing we must do is STOP the run!!! Second thing..if we don't stop the run…tar and feather Grantham and run him out of town on a rail! All kidding aside this is a must win for UGA! I think Richt will get the better of spurrier this time!!!
September 5th, 2013
10:09 am
Interesting watching Ga/Clemson last week. When they had the ball, you didn't have any idea what play they would call…or what they would do. I would bet their DC knew about 85% of the time based on down and distance and field position what play we would run…………And That punk Lane Kiffen said, " we have years of tape on Georgia, we know what they are gonna do. You just have to line up correctly and stop them"………. And by the way, they did.

Murray's 0 TDs and 2 TOs is playing good enough to win? I know the OL didn't play well, but when the opposing QB accounts for 5 TDs and Murray has a fumble, interception and 0 TDs, I don't constitute that as "playing well enough to win." I felt like the only reason the game was even close was Gurley. Probably should have lost by 10 (only reason we scored near the end was because Clemson was in prevent).
September 5th, 2013
10:21 am
All year I have felt that UGA will beat SC this Saturday. I think back to the Nick Fairley/Auburn game and what they did to Murray. The next year when AU came back, UGA played one if its most complete and great games. I think the same thing will happen when we play SC after last year. I have a feeling Murray will play one of his best games with all his heart. I think a benefit to UGA already playing a ranked team is we really know what we need to work on. Even though we lost against Clemson, 3 points is nothing to hang our heads about. Can't wait for Saturday, GO DAWGS!!
September 5th, 2013
10:24 am
I agree 110% with JB. Our coaching won't win this battle. Hopefully our players can win in spite of a coaching staff that won't play to our strengths and away from our weaknesses. Not sure why we can't/won't make in-game changes when it's obvious that our schemes are not working. Any fan of college football knows what should be changed, not sure why our coaches don't.

I absolutely DON'T want to see one more slow-developing inside handoff. Pound them with sweeps until they prove they can stop us.
September 5th, 2013
10:28 am
Pretty simple really. Just score more points.
That's my plan.
September 5th, 2013
10:32 am
Bill.. I agree with most of what you said and yes we fans tend to overreact with a high profile loss. That being said, the three point loss (we could have won) is a bit misleading. The reality is we were down 10 inside the final 3 minutes and everyone knew the game was over… even with our late TD we knew we were going to have to kick an onside kick. My point being the loss wasn't as close as the final score and we can't look to a botched snap here or a missed call there and say it might have been different. Things could have been different for Clemson as well…
September 5th, 2013
10:34 am
Roswell Dawg… you forgot about that really cool fake throw Aaron does after that slow-developing inside handoff that doesn't ever fool anybody.

"The feeling seems to be that if we see anywhere near the improvement that you generally get between Games 1 and 2 with the defense, Georgia should be able to come out on top in another closely fought match."
There's some truth to that old adage about seeing a lot of improvement between game 1 and game 2. Unfortunately, it applies to every team out there.
September 5th, 2013
10:37 am
It seems to me with our wealth of talent at RB… we should try some short passes over the rushing lineman's heads. I saw UNC do this effectively at least once to counter the S. Carolina blitz. We tried it against Clemson once and it would have worked perfectly, but Murray didn't put enough air under the ball and instead through a line drive pass that got tipped by the rushing lineman.
September 5th, 2013
10:42 am
Georgia lost to a really good team on the road. All goals are still attainable (SEC, National Title). Georgia is a really good team. We will see just how good in the upcoming games vs SC and LSU. The offensive line play and young defense are a little concerning, but I am not ready to jump ship after one game. Go Dawgs!!!!
September 5th, 2013
10:47 am
Wealth of talent at running back?
When Todd Gurley hits the pine, I don't see a running game to speak of. What has Marshall done against a quality defense?
I thought wealth meant having more than you need?
September 5th, 2013
10:52 am
Got one word Gurly!!! thats the reason the clemson game was close. Murray is a five year player- he got to lead and figure out what to do and get on thos OL that did not play great! Contain Shaw defense and play discipline. D should be better BUT the offense needs to lead!!! All those veterans- Bobos HUGE raise last year- cmon Bill we need results!!!! We out recruit them! Lets get it done!
September 5th, 2013
11:07 am
I'd like to see our OL pull and trap a little more. They seem to be more effective when they are moving rather than when they block head on. Also, let Murray out of the pocket. It opens up his vision, gives him an option to run, and wears the DL down because they have to chase him.
September 5th, 2013
11:10 am
Geez. It's like beating a dead horse. what they need to do to win over SC is stop making the same mistakes they've made in every big game they have lost. stop the run! corral the SC QB. tackle! stop costly T/O's. protect the QB. and most importantly, stop calling plays that do not/have not worked: up the middle against stacked defenses and that awful swing pass to the RB (or WR) when they have no blockers out in front!! poor gurley, on ga's 1st possession of the Clemson game, AM throws it to him and he's immediately swarmed by 3 Clemson defenders. no ga blockers anywhere. that play has never worked for ga. if there's one play, other then the up the middle for no gain, that embodies Bobo's inconsistent play calling……. SC just has too many weapons on offense for GA's young D to overcome. CTG couldn't stop CU last w/e he won't stop SC. as far as GA's Offense, SC has JD et al. Lastly, SC has better coaching staff as did Clem, minus Dabo. It's going to be hard to watch.
September 5th, 2013
11:13 am
Gurley at RB, Marshall at slot receiver. Gurley is a better RB, Marshall is a slasher and excels in the open field. Put your best players on the field and force the opposing team to defend BOTH of them. RB's won't be in school long, they usually leave early for the NFL, get the most out of them. UGA only got 1 good year out of Knowshon, because he got lost in the RB shuffle.

One thing we know, is that SC plays out of their mind for this game. so we never know what to expect. That being said……….what I simply do not get this weeks is the multitude of comments that went something like this:
"if you/we can't even go up to #8 Clemson and not lose by a FG, SC is going to kill you/us."
Based on what comparison?
Because I saw nothing from SC's game that leads me to believe they would have even come close to beating Clemson Sat. Night.

They weren't playing Clemson. What did you expect to see?
I didn't see anything in Clemson's game that leads me to believe that UGA could have beaten NC.
So what?

Really…wouldn't have even beaten NC? ok

So, let it be known that "slawdog" thinks that Clemson is only a 2 point better team than NC.

Then there's the issue of South Carolina's offensive line, which returns four starters from a year ago. All five starters tip the scales past the 300-pound mark.
The average weight of Georgia's starting defensive linemen: 278.3 pounds

Murray did not lose the game the offense line needs to grow up and be ready to play big time football
Defense was fine if the offense had stay on field 6 straight in and out it worked our defense down .

Hey SC, we're gonna run it up the middle repeatedly. Even if it doesn't work. Just a heads-up.

AltamahaDawg ,
In the Clemson vs. UGA game, I saw two mediocre football teams with decent offenses and deficient defenses. Looked like a Big 12 game to me.
I don't know what that has to do with either SC or NC. In their game SC dominated on both offense and defense, despite Clowney being a non-factor for whatever reason. Sick? Lazy? Don't know. Didn't matter. Clowney could have spent the entire game on the bench and the outcome would have been the same.
I wouldn't say that either of those games is particularly predictive of what will happen this weekend. SC isn't playing Clemson, and UGA isn't playing NC. Don't really understand why you think that your imaginary game between SC and Clemson is relevant.

I just read that the #1 player in the nation committed to Ala. Ala has 5 other OLM committed this year. Until Richt and Bobo recruit some top quality OLM, UGA will remain will not win the SEC or National championship.

Good heavens people, up the middle run is the set up for the play action pass. You know, the offence we run? ever heard of it?
Did it a few times too many, (as if anything else was working at the time either) but stop the exaggeration. We had 550 yards. That's hardly all they ran all night.
September 5th, 2013

"What do you think Georgia needs to do to beat South Carolina?"
Uh, howabout change our entire identity? I'm not sure that can be done in 6 days time. South Carolina has all the ingredients of a team that cleans our clock on an annual basis. A big physical offensive line. A dual threat QB. A big, fast, physical and absolutely nasty defensive line. Last but not least, they have a great head coach who has assembled an impressive coaching staff.
Its not looking good at all if you've paid any attention whatsoever to Georgia football over the past 5 years or so. I mean like actually opening your eyes and watching the games. If you've done that you can't feel good about our chances in this one.
Let the crying and moaning begin.

OL go to Bama just like Pro type QB's come to Georgia. Stafford wanted to play under Richt due to the pro style offense, as does this young man at Goose Creek SC who is committed, who is a pure pro type QB. Although the Dawgs have put a few OL in the NFL, Bama certainly does. No mystery here.

The crowd makes the difference if you haven't noticed the USC game last year and the Clemson game this year.
September 5th, 2013

Yep, no secret at Bama. Put 2 or 3 five star RB's behind 5 five star OL with great coaching, you tend to get good results. Bama's offense is pretty vanilla, just very powerful.
September 5th, 2013
12:03 pm
It's relevant because THATS what we do when we speculate about the future football games. Gee, using comparisons to ponder future match-up never happens does it? And clearly you just chose to ignore the first part of my post where I SAID it was unpredictable, but never mind that.
Not to mention my entire point was a retort ABOUT what some folk saying, USING our game against Clemson game to PREDICT what SC would do for us. (did you even read my post, really)
OH but you went just tad further didn't you?
What you saw in the game with us losing to #8 Clemson, by 3, on the road, (and seeing the other game) leads you to believe that NC would have beaten Georgia, In Athens, this past weekend. That IS what you said, so that much be really what you believe, correct?

I watched the Carolina Civil War and I thought SC looked impressive, particularly on offense. The defense has lost some important pieces, and as talented as Clowney is, it is a team of 11 on the field. Not that the D looked bad, but I thought they looked a lot tougher last year. Their offensive line looks big and strong. The running game will be hard to stop, and they will use it to make the passing game work. Shaw will take off at the drop of a hat. Honestly, if I were totally objective I would say SC by 10; I'm not, though, and believe the Dawgs will find a way to win. Also, in recent years it has amazed me how different the same team can look from week to week. You just never know, and especially with young teams early in the season. College is getting more like pro football–on any given Saturday….

Bama's offense is pretty vanilla, just very powerful.
Did you watch the VT game? Bama's offense is crap. Their defense usually hides how underwhelming their offense is.

That slow developing run game that sets up the pass is going to get Marshall killed. Any defense can stop that play because it takes too long to evolve. What really is wrong is running the toss twice. Once getting75 yards plus a TD. Another was a good run. Using Marshall to take the ball up the middle is just wrong. He should be used on the sweep. Dup better th

Bill, excellent points!
Also, I don't understand some comments saying the game wasn't as close as it appeared. It was 21-21 at the half, and if the 20 yd FG snap wasn't botched…you have a 31-31 game in the 4th quarter, with a good chance of going to OT.
September 5th, 2013
1:18 pm
eh, its not like it took any trouble to call you out on your silly response to my post that you purposely misrepresented the point, then tried to pretend you didn't understand the question.
September 5th, 2013
1:52 pm
Not a fan of that slow developing handoff. I far prefer the toss sweep from strictly a fan's perspective. It's more exciting if nothing else. However, when the line collapses, that's not going to be a very good outcome either, when there are any number of defender sitting in the backfield. Watching that span of futileness, I never though that the toss sweep was just there for the taking.
September 5th, 2013
1:56 pm
I really didn't think the play call was the ticket on the 75 yrd run. It was just solid blocking.
September 5th, 2013

I'm thinking that Mr. King should read what Jesse Palmer has to say about AM..plain and simple..
September 5th, 2013
2:25 pm
Toss sweeps work when you run one or two of them in the span of an entire game. That in no way implies that the play would work if you tried to run it 20 times.

UPDATE: Accident on I-75 due to dropped cell phone
Date: November 6, 2012
by: Observer Staff
According to a report by Florida Highway Patrol, a crash earlier today killed a 66-year-old man driving a Chevy Suburban.
A 18-year-old girl driving a Ford Expedition traveling south on I-75 dropped her cell phone and reached to pick it up. Doing so, she entered the inside shoulder of the road, over-corrected and overturned her vehicle.
The Chevy Suburban struck the overturned Ford. Then, a freight truck driven by a 37-year-old man also ran into the crash site.
The other two drivers were transported to the hospital with minor injuries.
The accident has caused the right and center southbound travel lanes of Interstate 75 near mile marker 231 — in northern Manatee county — to be closed for repair.
It is expected to take until approximately 5 p.m. tonight to make the repairs. Only the left travel lane is still flowing.

The Oklahoman newspaper is often criticized for being too conservative by many in Oklahoma. I'm one of those who have been frustrated by, what I feel, is their lack of balance especially in political and social discourse.
I am a firm believer that progressive change here in the conservative heartland of America has ramifications that are felt across our nation, especially when it comes to LGBT civil rights equality. I was pleased to read this article in the business section of the Oklahoman:
So, a gay worker whose company offers domestic partner benefits must pay income taxes on the portion of the premium for his partner that his employer pays.
The Human Rights Campaign says DOMA takes more than 1,000 benefits from same-sex couples, including the ability to claim Social Security benefits and use the expanded estate tax exemptions.
So how many GLBT workers are there? Is the stat even important? The issue isn't about numbers. It's about antidiscrimination. It's about respect. It's about people.
I'm looking forward to the day when this kind of article appears in The Oklahoman's editorial page.

Almost half of teenagers cop to texting while driving. And those texting teens are more likely to make other risky moves while in the car, too.
That includes not wearing seat belts, drinking and driving, and riding with a driver who's been drinking, a study just published in the journal Pediatrics finds.
Car crashes have long been the leading cause of death for teenagers, even before texting entered the scene.
But parents can do a lot to reduce the risks, according to Dr. Tom Frieden, director of the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which conducted the latest study.
"Multitasking is fine if you're sitting in your dorm room or at home in your bedroom, but multitasking in the car is a terrible idea," Frieden told Shots. New drivers are less adept at recognizing hazards while driving, and less good at dealing with them than more experienced drivers, he says. "It's amazing how quickly things can go wrong in the car."
It's a little unusual to have the CDC director to volunteer to talk about an agency study. But he's got some personal data on this topic. "Speaking as a parent of a teenage driver, having your kid learn to drive is one of the most stressful things," Frieden says. "It's easy to forget because driving is so routine for adults."
The CDC study asked 8,505 students across the country if they had texted while driving during the past 30 days. About 45 percent said yes. Those teens also admitted to more driving while drinking, not wearing seat belts, and riding with drivers who hadn't been drinking than their peers who weren't texting.
That may mean there's a big group of risk-taking teenagers whose parents may need to take a different approach to keeping them safe.
All parents should set clear rules about safe driving behavior, Frieden says, with consequences for breaking the rules. The CDC provides a parent-teen driving agreement that's a good starting point.
Enforcing the rules can be hard for some parents, but this next part might be harder: Do as you say. That means no texting while driving for Mom and Dad.
"If a parents texts and drives or speeds or uses alcohol while driving, that is stronger than any rule or lecture there is," Frieden says.
He's also a big fan of graduated driver's licenses, which are being used to some extent in most states. They restrict driving at night and driving with passengers until the teenager has more experience behind the wheel. GDLs have reduced car crash deaths among 16- and 17-year-olds. But in 2012, the death rate ticked up again. There's no proof that that's associated with texting, but it's hard not to think that it's a factor.
Frieden's teenager is now safely parked in college in New York City, where driving isn't an option. But Frieden is appealing to other parents to do what they can to make driving less deadly for their children. "The more controlled that driving learning experience, the safer kids will be," he says. "The more likely they'll be able to become adults."

The House of Representatives has been debating the defense authorization bill for the past two days, including more than 140 amendments. But this year's version of the McGovern-Jones amendment calling for a faster withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan was not among them. Reps. Jim McGovern (D-MA) and Walter Jones (R-NC) have offered similar amendments for several years, steadily gaining votes. Last year, there 204 votes in favor, including 26 Republicans. Activists believed this year might see an even higher total, perhaps enough to pass. Rather than face that result, the Rules Committee simply ensured that it would not come to the floor for a vote.
CNN reported this morning two GOP congressional sources confirming that Republicans were concerned the amendment could pass. The only Afghanistan withdrawal amendment made in order was by Barbara Lee (D-CA), which would have essentially ended the war by limiting funding to the safe and orderly withdrawal of U.S. troops and military contractors from Afghanistan. It predictably failed on a 303-113 vote.
Both McGovern and Jones denounced the action. McGovern asking, "What is the Republican leadership afraid of? Are they afraid a bipartisan majority of this House will vote to follow the will of the American people and change our Afghanistan policy?" Jones added, "This is supposed to be the people's House - that means we listen to the people. How about listening to the 72% of those who say get out of Afghanistan?" The next opportunity will likely be the defense appropriations bill sometime this summer.
Paul Krugman looks at the European financial crisis and sees Apocalypse Fairly Soon.
Suddenly, it has become easy to see how the euro — that grand, flawed experiment in monetary union without political union — could come apart at the seams. We're not talking about a distant prospect, either. Things could fall apart with stunning speed, in a matter of months, not years. And the costs — both economic and, arguably even more important, political — could be huge.
Barbara Ehrenreich invetigates the growing practice of businesses and government making money off of the poorest in society:
It's not just the private sector that's preying on the poor. Local governments are discovering that they can partially make up for declining tax revenues through fines, fees, and other costs imposed on indigent defendants, often for crimes no more dastardly than driving with a suspended license. And if that seems like an inefficient way to make money, given the high cost of locking people up, a growing number of jurisdictions have taken to charging defendants for their court costs and even the price of occupying a jail cell.

A new study conducted by the National Institutes of Health and AARP showed that coffee drinkers are likely to live longer. Lead researcher Neal Freedman of the National Cancer Institute says, "There may actually be a modest benefit of coffee drinking."
The study included more than 400,000 people and found that "Compared to those who drank no coffee, men who had two or three cups a day were 10 percent less likely to die at any age. For women, it was 13 percent."
For Time Magazine, Jay Newton-Small reports on the upcoming G8 summit:
Not since the oil shocks that first brought the world's superpowers together in 1974–back then they called themselves the "Library Group" because they met in the White House library–has the G8 had so much substantive business on a summit agenda. In recent years, world leaders have mostly just tried to to out-do one another with pledges of development assistance, leading to stories like this one from my colleague Massimo Calabresi, that questioned the usefulness of the annual summit.

Jefferson Morley writes for Salon:
Opposition to the use of drones in domestic airspace is spreading from the Code Pink left to the Fox News right. While conservatives laud the use of drones against suspected militants overseas, the sudden and vehement criticism of domestic drones this week by three right-wing commentators suggests that Congress's rush to open up U.S. airspace to unmanned aviation vehicles now faces an unusual left-right chorus of critics.

In the current controversy between the Vatican and U.S. religious women, a short history showing that it's nothing new. Professor emerita of history Anne M. Butler tells the story:
In the 19th century, Catholic nuns literally built the church in the American West, braving hardship and grueling circumstances to establish missions, set up classrooms and lead lives of calm in a chaotic world marked by corruption, criminality and illness. Their determination in the face of a male hierarchy that, then as now, frequently exploited and disdained them was a demonstration of their resilient faith in a church struggling to adapt itself to change.

A dog is alive tonight after being resuscitated by Phoenix Fire Department firefighters when they found a dog in the back room of an apartment where a fire had broken out.
Crews responded to the fire after 5:45 p.m. Friday afternoon, no one was inside except the dog.
Firefighters from Phoenix Fire's Engine Company 27 B crew found the dog in the back bedroom barely breathing but with the help of a "Fido Bag" crews resuscitated the dog who is expected to make a full recovery.
