The University of San Diego is committed to upholding standards that promote respect and human dignity in an environment that fosters academic excellence and professionalism. Sexual misconduct and relationship violence in any form are antithetical to the university's mission and core values, violate university policy, and may also violate federal and state law.
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 ("Title IX"), 20 U.S.C. §1681 et seq., is a federal law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in education programs and activities by educational institutions that receive federal financial assistance. Prohibited sex discrimination includes sex harassment. Prohibited sex harassment, in turn, includes but is not limited to sexual assault and other forms of sexual violence.
The Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013 ("VAWA"), including the Campus Sexual Violence Elimination Act ("Campus SaVE Act"), is a federal law that requires colleges and universities to have procedures in place to respond to incidents of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking.
The university maintains a Policy Prohibiting Discrimination and Harassment that includes sexual harassment among its prohibited behaviors and that applies to all employees and students. Sexual Misconduct and Relationship Violence are forms of sex harassment prohibited by that policy, whether the conduct at issue occurred on or off campus. In order to address its responsibilities under Title IX and the VAWA, the university has implemented these reporting and response standards and protocols specifically to address incidents of Sexual Misconduct and Relationship Violence. All students, faculty, administrators and staff at the university are expected to be familiar with and to abide by these Standards and Protocols.
- "Alleged Offender" is any individual who is alleged to have committed an act or acts of Sexual Misconduct or Relationship Violence.
- "Complainant" is a person who reports that he or she has allegedly experienced an act or acts of Sexual Misconduct or Relationship Violence.
- "Consent" is an affirmative decision to engage in mutually acceptable sexual activity given by clear action or words. It is an informed decision made freely, actively and voluntarily by all parties. It is incumbent upon each participant to either obtain or give consent prior to any sexual activity. If at any time during the sexual interaction any confusion or ambiguity should arise on the issue of consent, it is incumbent upon each individual involved in the activity to stop and confirm the other's willingness to continue, either by words or clear, unambiguous actions. Lack of protest or resistance does not mean consent, nor does silence mean consent. Consent cannot be obtained by threat, coercion, or force. Furthermore, a current or previous dating or sexual relationship is not sufficient to constitute consent, and consent to one form of sexual activity does not imply consent to other forms of sexual activity. Being intoxicated does not diminish one's responsibility to obtain consent.
A person cannot give consent if he or she (1) is a minor (under age 18); (2) has a mental disorder or developmental or physical disability that renders him or her incapable of giving consent, and this is known or reasonably should have been known to the Alleged Offender; (3) is unconscious; or (4) is incapacitated from alcohol or other drugs, and this condition is known or reasonably should have been known to the Alleged Offender. Some indicators that an individual is or may be incapacitated due to intoxication may include, but are not limited to, vomiting, unresponsiveness, inability to communicate coherently, inability to dress/undress without assistance, inability to walk without assistance, slurred speech, loss of coordination, or inability to perform other physical or cognitive tasks without assistance.
- "Dating Violence" means any act of violence or threatened act of violence committed by a person (A) who is or has been in a social relationship of a romantic or intimate nature with the victim; and (B) where the existence of such a relationship shall be determined based on a consideration of the following factors: the length of the relationship, the type of relationship, and the frequency of interaction between the persons involved in the relationship. Examples of Dating Violence include, but are not limited to, causing or attempting to cause physical or sexual assault or abuse; placing another in reasonable fear of serious bodily injury; restraining another's liberty or freedom of movement; or Stalking, where such conduct is directed against the victim by someone with whom she/he is or has been in a romantic or intimate relationship.
- "Domestic Violence" includes any act of violence or threatened act of violence committed by a current or former spouse or intimate partner of the victim, by a person with whom the victim shares a child in common, by a person who is cohabitating with or has cohabitated with the victim as a spouse or intimate partner, or by any other person against an adult or youth victim who is protected from that person's acts under federal or California domestic or family violence laws. Examples of Domestic Violence include, but are not limited to, causing or attempting to cause physical or sexual assault or abuse; placing another in reasonable fear of serious bodily injury; restraining another's liberty or freedom of movement; or Stalking, where such conduct is directed against the victim by his/her current or former spouse or intimate partner or any other person from whom the victim is protected under federal or California domestic or family violence laws.
- "Relationship Violence" includes Dating Violence and Domestic Violence.
- "Sexual Assault" is any unwanted physical contact of a sexual nature that occurs either without the consent of each participant or when a participant is unable to give consent freely. Physical contact of a sexual nature includes, but is not limited to, touching or attempted touching of another person's breasts, buttocks, inner thighs, groin, or genitalia, either directly or indirectly, or sexual penetration (however slight) of another person's oral, anal or genital opening. Sexual assault includes, but is not limited to, rape, sodomy, oral copulation, sexual battery, sexual penetration with an object, forcible fondling (e.g. unwanted touching or kissing for purposes of sexual gratification), or threat of sexual assault. Sexual assault can occur either forcibly and/or against a person's will, or when a person is unable to give consent freely.
- "Sexual Exploitation" is sexual misconduct that occurs when a person takes unjust or abusive sexual advantage of another for his or her own advantage or benefit or for the benefit or advantage of anyone other than the exploited party; and that behavior does not otherwise constitute sexual assault. Examples of sexual exploitation include, but are not limited to, videotaping or photographing of any type (web-cam, camera, Internet exposure, etc.) without knowledge and consent of all persons; prostituting another person; knowingly transmitting HIV or a sexually transmitted disease to an unknowing person or to a person who has not consented to the risk; or inducing incapacitation with the intent to commit sexual assault, without regard to whether sexual activity actually takes place.
- "Sexual Harassment" is a form of sex discrimination prohibited by Title IX. It is unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature when submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of the person's employment or education; submission to or rejection of such conduct by a person is used as the basis for a decision affecting the person's employment or education; or such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with a person's employment or education or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive employment or educational environment. Prohibited conduct can include unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal, nonverbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature.
- "Sexual Misconduct" includes Sexual Harassment, Sexual Assault, Sexual Exploitation and Stalking.
- "Stalking" means engaging in a course of conduct directed at a specific person that would cause a reasonable person to fear for his or her safety or the safety of others or to suffer substantial emotional distress. Examples of conduct that may constitute Stalking include, but are not limited to, unwelcome and repeated visual or physical proximity to a person; repeated oral or written threats; extortion of money or valuables; unwelcome and unsolicited written communications, including letters, cards, emails, instant messages, and messages on social media.
- "Student" shall have the same meaning as that contained in the Student Code of Rights and Responsibilities.
The university is committed to protecting the privacy of all individuals involved in a report of Sexual Misconduct or Relationship Violence. In any report made under these Standards and Protocols, the privacy interests of those involved will be protected in a manner consistent with the need to respond to and to conduct a thorough review of the incident reported. Information will be shared only with those individuals who have a legitimate need to know the information in order to assist in the response to, investigation and/or resolution of the complaint. Please see Section IV below for information about reporting procedures and options.
Confidentiality, on the other hand, is not the same as privacy. Confidentiality means that the information shared with a certain university employee or outside professional cannot be disclosed to others without the express permission of the individual who shared the information.
Individuals who wish to obtain confidential assistance without making a report to USD may do so by speaking confidentially with professionals who are obligated by law to maintain confidentiality, subject to the stated terms of confidentiality by that office. At USD, students may speak confidentially with any of the following:
- Counseling Center psychologists, psychiatrists, or psychology interns
Serra Hall 300
(619) 260-4655
- Center for Health and Wellness Promotion licensed professionals
Hahn University Center 161
(619) 260-4618
- University Ministry pastoral counselors or members of the clergy who work for USD (provided that the communication occurs with the counselor or clergy member in his/her pastoral role).
Hahn University Center 238
(619) 260-4735
Information shared with these confidential sources will not be shared with USD without consent, unless the disclosure is specifically permitted or required by law, such as when the circumstances pose an imminent risk of harm to self or others or where the report involves the suspected abuse of a minor under the age of 18.
For further information about on-campus and off-campus resources, see Section XIV below.
USD strongly encourages all members of the university community to report information about any incident of Sexual Misconduct or Relationship Violence as soon as possible, whether the incident occurred on or off campus. Reports can be made either to USD or to law enforcement.
USD requires all faculty members, administrators, supervisors, and any employees who have responsibility for student welfare to promptly report information about any incident of Sexual Misconduct or Relationship Violence to USD as provided below, unless the employee is required by law to keep that information confidential by virtue of his or her professional role (e.g. the employee received the information in his or her role as a psychological counselor or a pastoral counselor). In addition, those employees who have been informed by the Department of Public Safety that they are "campus security authorities" under the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act ("Clery Act") are legally required to report such incidents to the Department of Public Safety. All such employees to whom an incident is reported should strongly encourage the reporting party, whether it is the individual who allegedly experienced the act or acts of Sexual Misconduct or Relationship Violence or a third party, to speak directly with the Title IX Coordinator, a CARE Advocate, or the Department of Public Safety.
- Reporting to the University of San Diego
A report to USD of an incident of Sexual Misconduct or Relationship Violence should be made to any of the following:
- Title IX Coordinator. The Title IX Coordinator can be reached in Maher Hall 101 in the Department of Human Resources or at (619) 260-4594. For more information about the Title IX Coordinator, please see www.sandiego.edu/hr/titleix.php.
- Trained Campus Assault Resources and Education (CARE) Advocate. You may reach a CARE Advocate at any time, 24 hours a day/7 days a week, through the Department of Public Safety's Dispatch Office at (619) 260-2222. When you call, you should ask specifically to speak with a CARE Advocate and you may do so without providing any information other than your contact information so that a CARE Advocate can contact you.
CARE Advocates are specially trained to provide support to USD students who are impacted by Sexual Misconduct or Relationship Violence. For more information about the CARE Advocate Program, including a list of CARE Advocates with their direct contact information during regular business hours, please see www.sandiego.edu/CARE.
- USD's Department of Public Safety. You may reach USD's Department of Public Safety by calling (619) 260-2222 at any time, 24 hours a day/7 days a week.
Where the matter involves allegations of sexual assault or other criminal conduct and/or the matter involves the safety of any member of the USD community, the Department of Public Safety will notify law enforcement of a report of Sexual Misconduct or Relationship Violence. If the incident is alleged to have been perpetrated against an individual under age 18, appropriate notifications will be made as required by California law addressing the mandatory reporting of incidents of child abuse and neglect.
In every case, the CARE Advocate or the Department of Public Safety will inform the Title IX Coordinator of the report. In addition, if the incident involves a university employee, the Chief Human Resources Officer will be informed of the report.
An individual who has experienced an incident of Sexual Misconduct or Relationship Violence may report the incident at any time, regardless of how much time has elapsed since the incident occurred. USD is committed to supporting the rights of a person reporting an incident of Sexual Misconduct or Relationship Violence to make an informed choice among options and services available.
USD will respond to all reports in a manner that treats each individual with dignity and respect and will take prompt responsive action to end any misconduct, prevent its recurrence, and address its effects.
- Reporting to Law Enforcement
An incident of Sexual Misconduct or Relationship Violence can be reported to law enforcement at any time, 24 hours a day/7 days a week, by calling 911.
At the Complainant's request, USD will assist the Complainant in contacting law enforcement. If the Complainant decides to pursue the criminal process, USD will cooperate with law enforcement agencies to the extent permitted by law.
As stated above, where the matter involves allegations of sexual assault or other criminal conduct and/or the matter involves the safety of any member of the USD community, the Department of Public Safety will notify law enforcement of a report of Sexual Misconduct or Relationship Violence. A Complainant has the option to decide whether or not to participate in any investigation conducted by law enforcement.
- Making an Anonymous Report
An individual may report an incident of Sexual Misconduct or Relationship Violence anonymously here.
An anonymous report does not require the disclosure of the name of the person making the report or the names of individuals involved, and the anonymous report may, but need not, request any particular action. Depending on the amount of information available about the incident or the individuals involved, USD's ability to respond may be limited.
Any individual who has experienced an act or acts of Sexual Misconduct or Relationship Violence is encouraged to take steps to preserve evidence, as doing so may be necessary to the proof of a criminal act or to obtain a protection order from the court.
The urge to change clothes or shower should be resisted. If clothing is changed, each garment should be placed in a separate paper (not plastic) bag. If the incident involves any written or electronic communications (e.g. pictures, texts, social media posts, videos, etc.), preserve copies.
Additional steps that can be taken to preserve evidence include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Medical-Legal Evidence Collection (SART Exam)
A person who has experienced an incident of Sexual Misconduct or Relationship Violence (particularly rape, forcible oral copulation, or sodomy) is encouraged to request collection of medical-legal evidence. Collection of evidence entails a police report and interaction with the police and the County's Sexual Assault Response Team (SART) at an off-campus medical facility. Prompt collection of physical evidence through an exam is important should a person later decide to pursue criminal prosecution and/or a civil action. For more information regarding the SART exam, or if you wish to get a SART exam without reporting the incident to USD, please contact the Center for Community Solutions Hotline (888-385-4657) (www.ccssd.org/get-help/hotline).
- Non Investigative Report (NIR)
A person who wishes to have physical evidence collected pursuant to an incident of Sexual Misconduct or Relationship Violence, but does not wish to have law enforcement investigate the incident, may have this evidence collected at one of the SART facilities in San Diego County. This non-investigative SART reporting process is to allow DNA and other physical evidence to be collected and stored in the event a victim decides to initiate the investigative process at a later time. This evidence may include SART kits, clothing, or other items collected, sexual assault exam report forms, and photographs. For more information regarding the NIR option, or if you wish to pursue the NIR option without reporting the incident to USD, please contact the Center for Community Solutions Hotline (888-385-4657) (www.ccssd.org/get-help/hotline).
A person who has experienced or otherwise been impacted by an incident of Sexual Misconduct or Relationship Violence is urged to seek appropriate medical and/or mental health treatment as soon as possible. When the incident is reported to USD, USD will help the individual get to a safe place and seek medical attention.
The following medical treatment options are available:
- For emergency situations, contact 911 or go to the nearest hospital emergency room.
- A list of local hospitals can be found on the USD Student Health Center website at www.sandiego.edu/healthcenter.
- For non-emergency situations during regular business hours, students may visit the USD Student Health Center, located in Maher Hall, Room 140, (619) 260-4595, www.sandiego.edu/healthcenter. To contact a provider after regular business hours, contact the Department of Public Safety at 619-260-2222.
- For other resources offered at USD or in the San Diego community, please see Section XIV below.
A Complainant may seek a protective order, a restraining order, or other similar order issued by the court. At the Complainant's request, the Department of Public Safety will assist the Complainant in making the request. Additional information is available through the Center for Community Solutions.
After a report is made and prior to a final determination, USD will implement appropriate accommodations, safety measures, and interim measures to protect the Complainant and the needs of others involved in the incident, if so requested by the Complainant or others involved in the incident and if such measures are reasonably available. The implementation of these measures typically is coordinated by or under the supervision of the Title IX Coordinator or the Dean of Students.
These measures may include, but are not limited to:
- the implementation of a USD-issued no-contact order
- academic accommodations
- residential accommodations
- transportation accommodations
- employment accommodations
- safety consultations with the Department of Public Safety
- personal protection devices
- on-campus escorts
Until the matter is resolved, and when necessary and appropriate to protect the safety and well-being of the parties involved, the Dean of Students, in consultation with the Title IX Coordinator, may limit an Alleged Offender's access to certain USD facilities or activities or may impose an interim suspension. Interim measures taken with respect to USD employees will be implemented in consultation with the Title IX Coordinator in a manner consistent with the university's processes applicable to the employee.
USD will respond promptly and equitably to all reports of Sexual Misconduct or Relationship Violence to ensure the safety of the individuals involved and the USD community, in order to provide an environment that is free from gender and sex discrimination.
When a report is made, USD will initiate an investigation which typically will be conducted either by or under the supervision of the Title IX Coordinator, the Department of Public Safety, or one of their designees.
If a Complainant requests that his or her name or other identifiable information not be shared with the Alleged Offender or that USD not pursue an investigation or take any other action, USD will balance this request with its obligation to protect the Complainant and provide a safe and non-discriminatory environment for all USD community members. In these circumstances, USD will take all reasonable steps to investigate and respond to the report consistent with the request for confidentiality or request not to pursue an investigation, but its ability to respond may be limited by the request for confidentiality. USD will weigh the request for confidentiality against various factors, including but not necessarily limited to the following: the seriousness of the alleged conduct, any potential threats to campus safety, the respective ages and positions of the Complainant and Alleged Offender, whether there have been other complaints against the Alleged Offender, whether the Alleged Offender has a record of any prior acts of violence, and whether the circumstances suggest there is an increased risk of future acts of sexual violence under similar circumstances. USD will seek to respect the request of the Complainant, and where it cannot do so, USD will keep the Complainant informed about USD's chosen course of action. The Title IX Coordinator and the Dean of Students are responsible for evaluating confidentiality requests.
Upon the conclusion of the fact-finding investigation, the findings are shared with those individuals at USD who have a legitimate need to know the information in order to respond to or resolve the complaint.
Complaints of Sexual Misconduct or Relationship Violence against a USD student will be addressed pursuant to the Student Conduct Procedures contained in USD's Student Code of Rights and Responsibilities.
Complaints of Sexual Misconduct or Relationship Violence against a USD employee will be addressed pursuant to USD's Policy Prohibiting Discrimination and Harassment and the procedures applicable to the employee. If termination of a faculty member is contemplated, applicable rules governing dismissal for serious cause will be followed.
The sanctions generally applicable to a student who is found responsible for violating USD's Student Code of Rights and Responsibilities is found within the Sanctions section of the Code. Engaging in Sexual Misconduct or Relationship Violence is a violation of USD's Student Code of Rights and Responsibilities and will result in the imposition of one or more such sanctions against the Alleged Offender, up to and including suspension or expulsion.
Sanctions against an employee who is found to have engaged in Sexual Misconduct or Relationship Violence may include, but are not limited to, verbal or written warnings, suspension, or termination from employment with USD. If termination of a faculty member is contemplated, applicable rules governing dismissal for serious cause will be followed.
USD prohibits retaliation against any person who makes a good faith complaint of an incident of Sexual Misconduct or Relationship Violence or any other person who participates in the investigation of any such complaint. Any incident of retaliation should be promptly reported to the Title IX Coordinator, the Dean of Students, the Department of Public Safety, or the Chief Human Resources Officer.
When an incident of Sexual Misconduct or Relationship Violence that is reported to USD discloses an alleged crime that constitutes an ongoing or continuing threat to the USD campus community, USD may issue a timely warning in a manner consistent with the requirements of the Clery Act and USD's Timely Warning Policy.
Any individual who has been impacted by Sexual Misconduct or Relationship Violence is encouraged to seek appropriate help, whether or not the individual chooses to report the incident to USD.

I always hate reading stats after a scrimmage. When the offensive stats are lopsided you fear the worst for the defense and vice versa.
But I am just glad to be reading something.
Looking VERY forward to next Saturday, and hoping the weather cooperates. Not looking good on the 10 day forecast as of now. But things change quick in the spring Georgia air.
Go Dawgs!!!

Chase Vasser needs to play this year. He is a monster.
April 9th, 2011
12:49 pm
I think we all know stats don't mean squat during a spring scrimmage, but from what I hear the team is already getting their minds ready for Boise State. That's good. UGA could be a 7 point underdog coming into that game. Don't see it, but that's what I understand.
Now let's hope the Braves take to the Philly's again!
April 9th, 2011
12:54 pm
Very encouraging to see both Mason & Lemay outplay Murray. Not surprised. Good to see some gamers there at QB. Mason 3 td's, spectacular. Lemay, 100% accurate, no int's, td on 2 passes? Holy cow.
I got em at QB right now:
1- Mason
2- Lemay
3- Murray
Let the games begin.
April 9th, 2011
12:55 pm
Lemay is in da house!
It's on….
the new era is among us.
April 9th, 2011
12:57 pm
Teammates making plays for Mason & Lemay. How bout Bennett, bet he's lovin catchin balls form Christian Lemay.
April 9th, 2011
12:58 pm
Sounds like reports of Caleb King being superb all Spring were grossly exaggerated.
Need Ealey back there.
April 9th, 2011
12:59 pm
Wow, the D-Line held the rush offense to 35 yards rushing? That will win some ball games right there.
April 9th, 2011
1:02 pm
Turns out Richt's prognosis of Lemay being way behind Murray was off by a mile. Reminds me of last Spring when Murray was heralded all Spring, and the other QB's Gray & Mett were said to be way behind.
Looks like Lemay & Mason are getting better response from receivers and teammates than Murray.
Leadership baby…
April 9th, 2011
1:04 pm
Hutson Mason…light em up. 3 touchdown's, very nice job. Way ahead of where I thought he'd be this early. Then agin, he does hold the state of Georgia records for touchdowns. Go Hutson Mason.
April 9th, 2011
1:04 pm
Erik, I'm guessing Joey and Morris are right behind you.
April 9th, 2011
1:07 pm
Uh, I thought they were going to use Bruce Figgins a bunch as a receiver and stuff? Guess not.
April 9th, 2011
1:13 pm
Richt cited Murray's 9 yard pass as a big play combination? Sure. Not quite compared to Lemay's 66 yard bomb, or Mason's 45 yard bomb. Boy, those 2 guys can throw the deep ball.
April 9th, 2011
1:13 pm
Will Mason be the starter??
April 9th, 2011
1:15 pm
some of you guys are reading way too much into a scrimmage. just calm down a bit. its a long time before the season starts…oh and Erik, you're an idiot.
April 9th, 2011
1:16 pm
Excuse me, I got the QB's at:
1- Lemay
2- Mason (close call, I'll admit)
3- Murray (distant and fading)
April 9th, 2011
1:20 pm
30 yards rushing? How about that new Alabama Birmingham O-Line coach Friend? You do get what you pay for, McGarity's cheap pay at work again.
April 9th, 2011
1:20 pm
I have to agree with Sam. Some of you are going WAY overboard over a scrimmage. Some of you that think Murray is not a good QB really have no clue about football. He will be the starter this coming fall. Half of these posts actually back up what fans from other teams say about our fan base. Some of this stuff is embarrassing!
April 9th, 2011
1:21 pm
Looks like the midget is getting shown up by Mr. Lemay. But our inept coaches refuse to see the obvious.

Mark Richt emphasis is still the Florida State Passing attack. But day in and day out it will cause you losses in the SEC .Turbeville was correct and Richt didnt listen to him.

Anybody want to predict which QB plays best on G-Day?
April 9th, 2011

Erik you're certifiable!!!
Why would you hope our back-up QB's play better than our starter? It's people like you who make Georgia fans look stupid.
April 9th, 2011

Lemay is the real deal. Murray aint done squat but is squat.

Thanks for proving my point Louie! Not that you really had to
April 9th, 2011

Im betting Lemay will outshine Murray on G Day. Any Takers for otherwise?
April 9th, 2011

Murray's stats were pretty good. No interceptions.
April 9th, 2011

Can you post the stats from the first scrimmage too?
April 9th, 2011

Murray set a record at UGA last year for Freshman QB stats. You guys are out of your skulls. LeMay will be redshirted this year. Heeeeeeeellloooooooo, earth to numbnuts!

Mason needed to go to a school that would let him throw 60 times a game and not mind if he throws 3 interceptions. He will never play ahead of Murray as long as he just throws the ball just to be throwing it. Maybe the receiver will catch it whether he is open or not, attitude. CMR would rather the QB only throw 1 touchdown with no interceptions than 3 touchdowns with 3 interceptions. CMR will never change his offense philosophy to that of a shoot out. CMR will run the ball as many times a game as throw the ball. If Mason wants to impress CMR then he need to take less chances so he want have such a poor interception ratio. He had 3 interception against defensive backs that are 2nd and 3rd string. Most of the 1st team didn't even play. You can't praise LeMay yet he didn't even play very much. He is still learning the play book. But, if LeMay proves he can complete at least 60% of his pass with no interceptions I hope that CMR will let him play. As short as Murray is he will never be a success as a pocket passer , he will need to roll out most of the times. If he stays in the pocket he needs to decide quicker if he is going to throw or run. Murray was too slow last year deciding which to do. Hesitating even for a few seconds will let the defense close any creases that were open.

Mark Richt has been Georgia's coach for ten years and has won 96 games. That averages out to 9.6 wins a year and not 6 or 7. Are you retarded?
April 9th, 2011

Murray did not post a win against a team with a winning record. Put that in your pipe and smoke it Kool Aid Drinkers!

Let's discuss this "birther" issue. It's really getting serious!!!
April 9th, 2011
1:37 pm
There were no stats reported on the last scrimmage, which was smart.
Scrimmage stats tell NOTHING. Any good play on offense could have been a slip-up from the defense. You don't know what the set-ups were, if a play was an experiment, how new it was, if it will ever be used in a game, etc, etc.
For those of you actually reading anything into these numbers, you are clueless.

Very excited about this upcoming season. There are so many improvements to this team in the offseason.
1) No offseason arrests so far
2) S & C seems to really be working based upon Size and strength differential from last year
3) Year 2 of CTG defense. Both players and coaches are more familiar with the system
4) IC presence will make WE and CK better because of competitiveness. IC is homerun threat we've been missing
5) Johnathon Jenkins and Jarvis Jones should be difference makers on defense
6) DB should be much improved this year.
7) We have best TE tandem in the nation
Really like the idea of huge fb in short yardage situations plus he should be a good threat receiving out of the backfield
9) OL will be much improved this year. Sturdivant is fully health. Jones and Glenn will be better.I really like KG too.
10) We should have best kicking duo in nation
11) Attitude seems to be much improved and we're hungry
12) Schedule is much easier. We don't play LSU or Al. Plus Auburn and Florida will be down bigtime this year.
Overall, i think we should be able to win the east this year.
April 9th, 2011
1:41 pm
From what i've heard, Michael Bennett may be most underrated and underhyped player. Sounds like he's gonna be a good one for us. Also, Chase Vasser seems to be making some plays on defense too.
April 9th, 2011
1:41 pm
The kool aid drinkers said the same thing last year. Records and Stats dont lie. Whether its a scrimmage or a real game. 8 – 5 and 6 – 7 and a bowl loss to Mickey Mouse U. aint gonna cut for a 2 plus million dollar coach people. This aint little league its big time college football. Now get real a clue.
April 9th, 2011
1:42 pm
Why didn't Murray's teammates make plays for him? What's up? Why can't Murray get his guys to respond, especially considering he went against the #2 defense? Mason went against the #1 defense, thus the 2 picks. Murray going for 1 td against the #2 defense, Mason getting 3 td's against the #1 defense? This changes EVERYTHING!

Wow, Louie Kablooie & Pool Que Head same blogger. Imagine that. Typical techies. They have disguise their nerdy self because they know that UGA will wipe the mat with them again in their High School stadium come November. What will that be 10 out of 11! Silly nerds!

Hey Erik…Aaron Murray behind center gives us our best shot at winning, do not be stupid. He statistically posted one of the better freshmen campaigns as a QB in SEC history for goodness sake! Again, don't be stupid. Good to see some of the WR's that we need to step up come away with some catches. Richard Samuel having 7 tackles is encouraging as well. Heres to looking forward to the season!
April 9th, 2011
1:53 pm
let me guess how richt will interpret this:
"murray had a great day. no interceptions. completed 69%. beatiful big play combination 9 yard throw to brown. lemay got lucky on his td. mason needs to work on his interceptions. run game looked great. "
April 9th, 2011
1:54 pm
Please start Murray. He's a great QB!

The golden stupa that can be seen from miles, Paya is deemed as the most sacred Burmese temple. Further north, the Mandalay division showcases some of the finest teak temples in the country. As such, the view from atop Mandalay is quite breathtaking. The pagodas of Bagan are also worth a visit.

A compilation of tips and tricks ("hacks") for organizing, shooting, editing and distributing video in DV formats, Digital Video Hacks is an encyclopedia "how-to" guide to making digital video. This book is not for the "video virgin", someone who has never picked up a video camera - while professionals who've been making their living in the industry for several years will probably find only a few (if any) of the tips in this book to be helpful. Professionals at that level could probably write the entries in this book - which is in fact what happened.
Digital Video Hacks is an assortment of video techniques, written by multiple authors in various specialties. As such, the entries vary in their presentation, style and thoroughness. The article on "making your own green screen" lays out all the materials you will need, their relative expenses, potential hazards and pitfalls and goes into quite a bit of detail on how to finish your project, while the "bullet-time effect" article gives you a more basic layout of how to set up multiple cameras, and then glosses over the final steps with just a few obscure sentences on finishing your effect in post-production.
The book has a great "bird's eye" layout, as well as a fine-tuned internal referencing system. Cbapters are organized by large topics like "Pre-production" and "Distribution" while individual entries are segmented into single-task topics like "Labelling your media" or "Creating Matrix-style bullet-time effects". Each "hack" is given a number, and within each entry, references to other techniques are noted with a reference to other "hacks". (So, for instance in the "Removing an Unwanted Object" hack, number 64, a reference is made to using a boom mic which is referenced as "Hack # 53".) On the other hand, though entries themselves seem basically in-order, they seem to follow the organizational system of most video professionals at this level that I've seen: "Just make sure that everything's in generally the correct bin, and then we'll just rummage through to find what we need". Though everything is sorted into broad chapter categories like "Post-Production", within each chapter, there is no obvious way to tell how the tips are filtered beyond that.
The style of Digital Video Hacks is conversational, and the tone friendly. It is easy to read, and did not make me feel confused with stilted business/technical language. Unfortunately, the writers tried too often to be funny, and wasted time on unintelligent jokes that I felt detracted from the writing. Though I've read one or two instructional books thatwere witty and clever, the "humor" in Digital Video Hacks was neither - usually statements of the obvious with some very predictable absurdism or sarcasm thrown in.. The writers are good video specialists, but poor comedians.
Highlighted Content
Some of the most helpful things in the book were truly invaluable. Advice on how to "Succesfully Complete a Project" gave the low-down on what a realistic video-maker should expect out of doing video. Tips range from "Compiling a cheap lighting kit" to creating a black and white movie with only one color showing through. There is even a section on making a movie without using a camera, which details (among other things) online free-video-footage databases that I had really known nothing about! This book even contains odd-ball ideas like backing up your computer to a DV tape, and "seeing through walls"!
Advice on music, aquiring footage, storyboards, time-saving editing-tips, and audio-mixing all come through with good, applicable advice that most video-makers will need to know.
This book is quite informative, and is useful primarily as a reference. When you first get it, I recommend a thorough reading of the table of contents, and then a quick page-flipping skim of the rest of the book to see what's there and how it looks and works. DV Hacks will be a good thing to have on the shelf to look up instructions on how to do things from time to time. If you have the time, read it through from cover to cover and see what you can pick up.
Accessibility & Timeliness
Digital Video Hacks is not a theoretical or abstract work. Its "hacks" are purely practical and hands-on. Rather than making nebulous statements about how effects generally be acheived in non-linear editors, entries break down practical, step-by-step instructions for each of the major editing systems intermediate video professionals are apt to use (Premier, FinalCut, Avid, MS Movie Maker and iMovie). As such, advice on converting file-formats, applying CODECs or effects and other tasks, usually centers around specific products or software. With each software item (or most physical products to buy, in the case of production), an web address is given, along with a cost in (presumably U.S.) dollars. This is excellent for those ready to immediately put these techniques to use, but also puts something of a cap on the shelf-life of this book. Keep it handy, but if you're going to get it - now's the time! Even though most of the information in this book is probably available online in numerous "how-to" sites, much of it I would not have even thought to search for! As a result, this book is a definite plus for the library of anyone who takes a serious interest in the realm of digital media production.

This is what you wanted. Indianapolis started the season 14-0, and the Colts still might be undefeated if they didn't place themselves in a protective bubble in the final two weeks. New Orleans started the season 13-0 and led the NFL this season in offense, points and humiliated defensive coordinators.
This is the way it's supposed to go. The two best teams, led by the two best quarterbacks, driving two of the best offenses into the Super Bowl.
Only the coaches with a defensive pedigree will have a headache.
"It's going to be a long week for the two defensive coordinators," Falcons coach Mike Smith said Sunday night after watching the New Orleans Saints earn their first trip to a Super Bowl with a 31-28 overtime win over Minnesota. "They'll be burning the midnight oil, trying to figure out how to stop the other quarterback. I don't envy them. Well, I do envy them, actually. But, you know."
This is the way things are supposed to work. Karma. Ain't it great?
Some Falcons fans might not be thrilled with the Saints, their long-time rival, finally making it to the Super Bowl. But there is no more fun team to watch play in the NFL than the Saints, and the backdrop of Hurricane Katrina and the physical and financial ruin of one of the world's most special cities makes it that much sweeter.
Only one thing could have made it better, and we got it: Brett Favre's self immolation.
Favre orchestrated exits from the Green Bay Packers and New York Jets, all so he could play for the Minnesota Vikings following a protracted Hamlet act that kept the football world waiting. He threw for more than 300 yards Sunday night. But he committed
three of the Vikings' five turnovers, including an interception with seven seconds left in regulation that prevented the them from attempting a game-winning field goal.
Then in overtime, Favre watched helplessly as the Saints won a coin flip and drove to a game-winning, 40-yard field goal. There was nothing he could do from the sideline.
Smith: "I noticed that." (That's all I could get out of him.)
The Saints vs. any team would make for a special Super Bowl. The fact they will face the Indianapolis Colts comes with some irony. Peyton Manning, the Colts' quarterback, grew up in New Orleans a Saints fan. His father, Archie, was their quarterback.
The matchup of Manning vs. Drew Brees should, Smith said, "make for a lot of fireworks." He knows both well. He faced Manning twice a year when he was Jacksonville's defensive coordinator. He faces Brees twice a year now in the NFC South
Pick a winner?
"No way."
Break it down?
"Obviously, they're two great offenses. I think the thing it will come down to is which team protects their quarterback better. Both teams have pretty good pass rushes. But both quarterbacks will be hard to stop."
Smith saw what happened to the Jets' defense, and it looked familiar. New York got early pressure on Manning. Even sacked him a couple of times. But then the quarterback starting burning the Jets when they blitzed and picked apart their zone defenses when they didn't. The Colts were held to two field goals in their first five possessions, then scored three touchdowns and a field goal in the next five. A 17-6 deficit turned into a 30-17 lead.
"It's risk-reward when you blitz him," Smith said. "The Jets were coming after him early. But once [the Colts] identified the looks, they had a better idea how to attack him. When they were in a zone, they took the short throws. When they saw pressure, they had one-on-one opportunities.
"I saw some of the same routes and same checks that he's been doing for 10 years. You notice how many plays he takes down to the last second on the play clock before he snaps the ball? He gets an image of the defense. He wants to take it down to the last second before he decides what the best way to attack is."
So how do you stop him?
"Sometimes making him go the long way is better," he said. "When the Jets were winning, they were holding Indy to field goals. Play great red zone defense. Give them the short stuff. Tackle well, and knock the ball out when you can."
Both defenses will be scrambling in two weeks. But Manning vs. Brees and Colts vs. Saints is the best show we could have hoped for.

Just think, Jeff… we escaped all of the Brett Favre is BACK stories…
… but now we must suffer through all of Archie Manning interviews and Payton grew up in NOLA stories.
The one thing I hope comes from all of this is renewed attention for NOLA, which is STILL suffering after Katrina.
I mean… yeah, I gave $10 to Haiti… but there are still people living on the streets in NOLA who used to be home owners.
There are still people in NOLA who live in government-run shelters and government-supplied trailers and who share their homes with vermin.
To all of the idiots out there who actually believes trusting the government to run health care when they can't run a simple program like cash for clunkers, look towards New Orleans to see what happens when governments intercede in our lives for the worse: at the city level, where that idiot mayor basically condemned all those people to death by refusing state and federal help before Katrina hit land, to the corrupt state house in Baton Rouge which has done basically nothing to fix up New Orleans outside the French Quarter and surrounding areas, and of course, to the federal government, which would rather send money to Haiti than fix the problems at home.
I hate to be preachy, but government is NEVER the solution. It's the PROBLEM.

I enjoyed the game. I feel for the Saints' with their miserable history, so even as our longtime rival, I'm happy for them.
Regarding the Vikes, I really haven't followed the Bret Favre drama, but had respect for him not giving up after being repeatedly demolished during tonight's game. The man made some mistakes, but he was playing hurt bad, I think. Drama aside, Favre is a legitimate Hall 'O Fame quarterback. So is Drew Brees.
Of course, Favre was drafted by the Falcons years ago, and traded for some long-forgotten dud after being allowed to play in two games for genius Jerry Glanville, who hated him.

New Orleans loves to bring pressure in assorted blitz packages; if they try this against Peyton, he'll carve them up like a turkey on Thanksgiving day! What's your assessment Jeff?
January 24th, 2010
11:58 pm
Jeff… it's ALWAYS better.
I'm just glad, as horrible as Joe "Legacy" Buck is, that John Madden didn't call this game.
@ to bugkiller: the free markets aren't failing, and any attempt by Obamanation to "fix" the market will send us further down the rabbit hole.
In fact, he actually helped to create the problem we're currently in regarding the mortgage crisis. What with his support of ACORN strong-arming mortgage lenders and guess who Fanny Mae gave the third most money to in Congress over the last four years???
Why is it that no one seems to have learned from Jimmy Carter's abortion of a Presidency?

Looks like the Favre haters are in full force led by their lead loser Jeff "who's he" Schultz. Jeff, no one will remember you and your miserable little self, but Favre will live on in NFL glory. At 40, he has achieved what QB's 10 years younger cannot. So quit hating, it's not Favre's fault that you have a third rate job with a fourth rate newsrag.

I was hoping the Saints would win today and it was lovely watching Favre get hit hard all day long and throw that interception with 7 seconds left. I'm a die-hard Falcons fan, but I'm glad our rivals finally made it to a Super Bowl. That said, I hope the Colts beat them. I don't want the Aints to WIN a Super Bowl before my Falcons do.
January 24th, 2010

Watched both games. Despite their loss, I thought the Jets are a team that should hold their heads high. At the same time, despite the win, one could not help coming away with the feeling that the Saints got away with one. http://mybadassitude.com. The colts looked great, like a team about to win the superbowl

Agreed, Jeff. I had someone earlier mention that the Colts would lose due to the warm weather in Miami…My reply was simply that BOTH are DOME teams! Definitely no advantage there! LOL!!
He was a bit tipsy though…….

The Saints-Falcons rivalry is a bitter one with much bad blood. However, it's hard not to enjoy the Saints fans when they come to the Georgia Dome. Super Bowl Sunday- your rivals in Atlanta will root for the Saints. Congrats to the Who Dats!

Vikes did shoot themselves in the foot with so many turn overs, but I cannot understand how they let that Thomas touchdown stand! He was clearly down before the ball crossed the plane!
I wonder if Roger and company will review this game's officiating!

Who dat finally got the monkey off their back, what a great win for the city of new orleans and the entire gulf coast region. Stop HATIN on them dirty bird fans, guess what we still love you guys. For all of the dirty bird fans that continue to pull for us, we love you. For the ones that hate the saints, well I guess we will see you guys the next time the two teams play. See you guys later, there's a all night party on bourbon st. This party is going to be bigger then the biggest cocktail party (georgia/florida) , bigger then the texas state fair, texas.oklahoma, bigger then mardi gras.

Both the Colts and the Saints have great passing offenses, good enough running games that feed off the space created by the passing game, and defenses that thrive on rushing the passer and creating turnovers. The Colts have a more proven kicker, a less turnover-prone offense, and are better at playing straight defense (like limiting yards and what not) than the Saints, so I'm picking the Colts to win.
But I'm just happy that the NFL playoffs finally delivered two good games. The playoffs up to this point had been incredibly boring.

good point Jeff about the prolific saints offense and the suspect Birds defense and still both games were tight….which gives me greater hope about the next time we play the saints in that atlanta's defense should be stronger/healhier and more experienced
bluephi….i definitely agree if atlanta wins either one of those two games NO probably not headed to SB and certainly would not have had homefield advantage

I'm glad to hear Coach Smith's assessment of the game, because as long as Atlanta has that high school defense, they won't be in any of these games anytime soon.
That said, please move the political talk to the Huffington Post. This is a sports blog thank you very much.
I think it will be an amazing Super Bowl that will keep both teams on edge. However I believe that the Colts will be too much for the Saints to handle. Colts 31, Saints 20.

That third down pass in overtime was not a completion. The reciever bobbled and let it hit the ground. That and the terrible Minnesota drive to end the game were the keys…. other than the Vikings giving the ball up a half a dozen times.

I don't think you can blame Favre for the Vikings loss tonight. The game I was watching involved several fumbles by AP and Percy. While Brett did throw a pick late in the game, he was really the main reason the game was tied in the fourth. AP got the TDs in the red-zone but Favre got them in the red-zone.
Furthermore, the man is geriatric in NFL years and still led his team to OT in the NFC Championship. Don't hate him just because you are a sh!tty sportswriter and he's the greatest QB of all-time.

If the game had been clean (and by clean I mean not so many blown "reviews" in favor of the Saints), it would have been much better.
The Saints are in for a long game in two weeks. The Colts protect the football, and without the turnovers tonight, New Orleans would have been done.
I am also not in favor of the folks who like to say, "Oh, this is good for them because of Katrina, etc., etc." There are people still suffering in New Orleans, but what does this do for them? Seriously? The Saints going to the Super Bowl isn't helping those people re-build their lost homes or replace lost belongings.

The Saints were supposed to have the offense but won with defense and the Super Dome. The Colts might not have won if they had to play in New York. The only constant was Peyton Manning and he should win another Super Bowl.

Ah here come the Favre bashers, you won't be satisfied till he is like that famous picture of Y.A. Tittle! It almost happened today by the way, wicked shots that 400 year old man took, and he did keep coming back… Why do you get so upset about Favre waffling, it is what he does… Ask any American wife if they'd expect less? But enough of praising Brett Favre, did Uncle Charlie have that stroke yet? My goodness it would almost be worth it for the Who Dat's to win just to watch the collective stroke out that the most obnoxious of Falcons fan would if the only other team as pathetic as our Falcons won a Super Bowl first! I wonder what BugKiller thought of the farmer in NY State who killed 51 cows before offing himself this week? Gotta love this blog sometime…

Had the ancient Greeks sought out a 13th labor for the mythological hero Heracles (renamed Hercules by the Romans), they could not have devised anything as wearying or awful as sitting through the latest movie about him, "The Legend of Hercules."
This boring, bombastic combination of swords and sandals is built as a 3-D showcase for the muscular frame of Kellan Lutz, who's most recognizable as the most hunky of the sparkly vampires in "The Twilight Saga." With his well-cut form, gelled blond hair and grunting line-readings, Lutz's Hercules seems spawned from that Greek village known as Muscle Beach.
Not that this is a Hercules any Greek scholar would recognize. The script, by Sean Hood and Danny Giat, has a plot that sounds more like "Ben-Hur." (This isn't new: Disney's version of "Hercules" twists the mythology into something closer to the "Superman" origin story.)
It starts with Herc's mom, Queen Alcmene (Roxanne McKee), pleading for Zeus to end a war started by her bloodthirsty husband, King Amphitryon (Scott Adkins). Zeus, seen only as special-effects lightning, responds by impregnating Alcmene with the baby who will become Hercules.
As a young adult, Hercules falls in love with the Cretan princess Hebe (Gaia Weiss) — but Amphitryon arranges for Hebe to marry Herc's sniveling half-brother, Iphicles (Liam Garrigan), as part of a peace settlement. Further, Amphitryon sends Hercules to Egypt on the pretext of settling a border dispute, but really to have the Egyptian army ambush and murder Hercules.
Herc and his military captain, Sotiris (Liam McIntyre), survive the attack and are sold into slavery, forced to fight for their lives in gladitorial spectacles. Hercules convinces their captor to take them back to Greece, and soon Hercules and Sotiris are leading a revolt against Amphitryon and Iphicles.
Director Renny Harlin, who was really big back in the '90s (remember "Die Hard 2"? "The Long Kiss Goodnight"?), drenches everything in a washed-out palette of tans and grays that are supposed to be epic — but just remind you how much better "300" worked with similarly themed material. His one trick is to put the action in super-slo-mo at random moments, and he repeats the trick past the point of absurdity — in a brainless action movie that was absurd enough to begin with.
Twitter: @moviecricket
'The Legend of Hercules'
The Greek hero flexes his muscles in this brainless, visually inert action movie.

Fresh off a 5-2 win against Tampa Bay and looking fresh with their new haircuts, the result of a charity event where 17 members of the team shaved their heads to raise money and support the Floating Hospital for Children at Tufts Medical Center, the Bruins looked to continue their winning ways against a desperate Washington Capitals team. The Capitals, who are fighting for their playoff lives, are coming off a demoralizing 5-1 loss against the Buffalo Sabres, who they are battling with for the eighth and final playoff spot, this past Tuesday. The Bruins on the other hand, thanks to a timely three game winning streak, are just one win away from securing a playoff spot, and have a five point lead over the Ottawa Senators for first in the Northeast Division.
Starting his 57th game in net for Boston was Tim Thomas, who is 4-1-0 in his last five games. Tending net for Washington was Tomas Vokoun, whose last win came against the Bruins on March 10th. The crowd was pumped right from the get go as was evident by the thunderous roar as the puck was dropped.
The ice seemed to be tilted in Boston's favor with most of the pressure in the Washington zone but a couple shots went wide and a few off sides calls put an end to any early threats. In fact the Bruins didn't record their first shot on net until 6:38 into the first. For a team fighting for a playoff spot and a team trying to secure first place in their division, both teams came out pretty flat. There was a scary moment in the first period when Capital forward Jason Chimera charged Adam McQuaid behind the Bruins' net. McQuaid went down and after a few minutes was seen leaving the ice holding his head. Chimera was issued a 5 minute major for charging and a game misconduct. With about a minute and a half left in the period Washington switched goalies and Michal Neuvirth began to guard the pipes. The Bruins really couldn't muster up anything during the power play and the two teams went to the locker rooms scoreless. The shots on net pretty much summed up how the first period went; Bruins had 7 and Washington 2.
The Bruins, who are 16-8-2 when tied after the first period, looked to get a quick jump to the new frame, but unfortunately, the second verse started out just like the first. There was some back and forth action for both clubs but no real threats. Tyler Seguin provided the TD Garden crowd with a little excitement in a relatively dull second period when at the nine minute mark he collected the puck and rushed in on Neuvirth. Seguin was pushed wide and Neuvirth came up with an easy save. The Bruins were able to kill off a two minute David Krejci high sticking penalty with less than nine minutes remaining in the period. Hopefully, the momentum the Bruins gained in the defensive zone would carry over into the offensive side. This would not be the case as the second period ended with the teams tied at 0.
The Bruins faithful hoped that history would be on their side, the Bruins had outscored their opponents 98-60 in the third period of games this season, for a +38 differential. The crowd, trying to wake up the Bruins, and possibly themselves, started the third period with a "Let's go Bruins" chant. As if listening to the crowd Bergeron had a great chance on a semi breakaway but the puck bounced off his stick and Neuvirth was able to poke it away. The Capitals were the first team to strike when former Bruins' defenseman Dennis Wideman scored on a wrist shot that beat a screened Thomas high at 7:59 of the third. Almost two minutes later Marcus Johansson put the Capitals up 2-0 when he converted on a 2 on 1, as he one timed an Alex Ovechkin pass past a sprawling Thomas.
Krejci would make the ending of the game a little more interesting when he wristed a Zdeno Chara pass from the point past Neuvirth and into the net. The Bruins had new life and continued to attack the Washington net. The pressure would pay off as Andrew Ference scored on a slap shot with only 1:15 remaining in the game to tie it at 2. That is how the third period would end and the two teams would head to overtime.
Most of the overtime was spent in Washington's zone as the Bruins having gained momentum from the end of the third, tried to end the game without having to go to a shoot out. This would not be the case as the teams were tied after the 5 minute overtime period.
The Bruins opted to go first in the shoot out and had a lineup of Krejci, Seguin and Patrice Bergeron against Matt Hendricks, Ovechkin, and Alexander Semin. Krejci was denied on his shot. Hendricks scored on his as he deked Thomas to the ground with a fake shot and the scored. Seguin tied it at 1-1 when he scored on a backhand. Ovechkin skated in wide on Thomas, but couldn't find the back of the net. Bergeron gave the Bruins a 2-1 lead when he scored 5-hole. Thomas just had to come up with a save against Semin and the Bruins would win, unfortunately for the Bruins, Semin scored and pushed the shoot out to a 4th round. Richard Peverley could not squeak a shot by Neuvirth. Brooks Laich scored the winner for Washington as he deked Thomas and then roofed a backhand shot to give the Capitals the extra point and keep their playoff hopes alive.
When asked about his workload this season, having played in his 57th game, which ties the number of appearances he made last season, Thomas replied, "Its fine. I'm not even putting a thought into it. I'm just playing and you know, just trying to get ready for the playoffs."
The Bruins' next game will be against the New York Islanders this Saturday at 1:00PM.

Open select links in new window
This one of a kind script makes it easy to specify certain links on your page open in a new window, and with greater control than HTML's "target" attribute. You can designate arbitrary links- or even entire groups of links- open in a new window by doing one of the following:
1) Give the link a class="nwindow" attribute.
2) Or, to get an entire group of links to open in a new window, wrap them all inside a container with class="nwindowcontainer", such as links here.
And to make it all worthwhile, this script supports two modes of operation- automatic or manual. In the former, the designated links (by doing one of the above steps) will automatically open in a new window. In "manual" mode however, visitors use a checkbox to toggle between the designated links opening in a new window or current instead. Control and versatility is what this script is all about!

|Field Application of a Permeable Reactive Barrier for Treatment of Arsenic in Ground Water (EPA/600/R-08/093) September 2008
Contamination of ground-water resources by arsenic is a widespread environmental problem; consequently, there is an escalating need for developments and improvements of remedial technologies to effectively manage arsenic contamination in ground water and soils. In June 2005, a 9.1 m long, 14 m deep, and 1.8 to 2.4 m wide (in the direction of ground-water flow) pilot-scale permeable reactive barrier (PRB) was installed at a former metal smelting facility, located near Helena, Montana. The reactive barrier was designed to treat ground water contaminated with moderately high concentrations of both arsenite and arsenate. The reactive barrier was installed over a 3-day period using bio-polymer slurry methods and modified excavating equipment for deep trenching. The reactive medium was composed entirely of granular iron which was selected based on long-term laboratory column experiments. In laboratory experiments, arsenic removal by zerovalent iron is controlled by adsorption and co-precipitation with iron corrosion products. Previous studies indicate removal capacities on the order of 1 to 10 mg arsenic per gram of granular iron. A monitoring network of approximately 40 ground-water sampling points was installed in July 2005. Monitoring results indicate arsenic concentrations >25 mg L-1 in wells located hydraulically upgradient of the PRB. Within the PRB, arsenic concentrations are reduced to 2 to <0.01 mg L-1. After 2 years of operation, monitoring points located within 1 m of the downgradient edge of the PRB showed significant decreases in arsenic concentrations at depths intervals impacted by the emplaced zerovalent iron. Arsenic removal in the PRB results from several pathways involving adsorption to iron oxide and iron sulfide surfaces. These different uptake processes lead to multiple oxidation states and bonding environments for arsenic in the reactive medium as indicated using spectroscopic methods. This report covers aspects of site characterization, remedial design and implementation, and monitoring results for this pilot-scale PRB, including a flux-based analysis for arsenic.

Port Jefferson is blessed with an abundance of places to eat pizza. I recently visited four restaurants on Main Street, within two blocks of each other – , , and – and discovered that each offered a special pizza experience ranging from pizza-on-the-go to sit-down-and-dine.
The first stop was (124 Main), a true hole in the wall, a tiny place with a few stools at counters for those not doing take-out. Anthony Rosati holds court behind a counter containing all kinds of baked items such as rice balls, Jamaican beef patties and pinwheels. He says his most well-known pizza is the sesame crusted Margarita, with marinara sauce and fresh basil. I asked four-year-old Maria, from Port Jefferson Station, who was munching on the Margerita, what she thought and she declared it to be "good."
Next was (109 Main Street). Vincenzo Chiamese emigrated from Naples 15 years ago with a wealth of family recipes. He opened his Port Jefferson pizzeria in 2007. Vincenzo's has the look of a typical pizza parlor with several tables for in-house dining. There I met Ed and Jackie Maddalena from Islip who were trying Vincenzo's for the first time; he had ordered the regular pie and she the chicken marsala. They agreed that they liked the atmosphere and that the pizza was good. Vincenzo says people rave about the crust and that his most popular pie is the chicken bacon ranch.
Then came (216 Main Street), with tile floor, tables and banquettes and an open view brick oven. The oven burns coal to create authentic Neopolitan pizzas and it takes nearly two hours to crank up to 1200 degrees. The pies cook very quickly (two minutes!) and so they have to be thin. The coal imparts a distinctive and delicious charcoal flavor to the pizza.
Last stop was (234 East Main Street), a tablecloth restaurant that offers lavish 10-inch individual pies baked in their brick oven. There's Tuscan pizza topped with portobello mushrooms, spinach, prosciutto, pine nuts, smoked Gouda, mozzarella and parmesan. And seafood pizza with lobster, calamari, crabmeat, spicy tomato sauce, mozzarella, asiago cheese and basil pesto. Chef/owner Steven Sands says that a favorite with his customers is the Greek salad pizza.
What to have for dessert after all that pizza? Nutella pizza back at Vincenzo's!

1) looking down into the alley of the little corner of a city i built to learn how to model environments in maya. the window display is of my own making, one of the places i took off and riffed on the exercise to flex my fledgling chops. as a kick, i included the very first thing i ever modeled in 3D software: those feet/shoes. i remember how happy i was that day! not so long ago. i still feel that happy. anyway, i didn't know how to create either an ankle or ankle hole in a shoe then, so i've added it now.
2) a high render view down into the alley, where you can see some steps i created for that corner door.
3) the fine work of smashing up the steps a little to provide some wear in a vector-based virtual city of precise lines and edges. i also bevel a lot of edges slightly as well as yank vertices around and create slightly uneven lines so things don't feel overwhelmingly uniform or calculated.
it's been a long day in this here ocean of maya, and i'm gonna skip the epilogue narration so i can hit the sack by 02:30. i won't tell you that i'll pass out watching 3D modeling tutorials on my ipad because then you'd think i'd lost it. :)

Billionaires can get away with a lot because they're billionaires and can get pretty much whatever they want at any given moment. Except childhood sleds.
Couple billions of dollars with running an eight million person personal fiefdom, and it's not surprising that Mayor Michael Bloomberg has developed an unhealthy disrespect for any other authority.
Unfortunately for him, there are higher authorities in this world, and Bloomberg may have finally done enough to get the public spanking he's been courting.
Friday afternoon, Mayor Bloomberg walked once again into the thresher maw that is the legal quagmire of his "stop and frisk" program by declaring that the program, criticized as racial profiling writ large, "stops too many whites."
Well, Bloomberg is probably right. The program does stop too many whites…

Check Out These Top 3 Stocks for Socially Responsible Investing
Jennifer is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
In spite of the economy, socially responsible investing is making a comeback. Socially responsible investing is an investment strategy that seeks to consider both financial returns and social good, measures that will vary for each investor depending on his or her standards. While there is no common set of standards that define a socially responsible stock, there are certain consistent themes that tend to be associated with socially responsible investing.
Typically, socially responsible investors usually prefer to avoid making investments in companies that engage in the production or sale of alcoholic beverages, tobacco products, gambling or sports betting activities, and devices of violence or warfare (guns, bullets, etc). Also, socially responsible investors seek to invest in companies that engage in environmental sustainability and responsibility.
But, these same investors want to see gains on their investments, just like everyone else, even if they are socially responsible investments. Here are a few stocks that are socially responsible and have turned a profit.
It's no surprise that Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX) made the list. After wisely downsizing its US expansion plans, slowly expanding into China and offering Starbucks branded K-Cups to jump into the single serve coffee market, this company is on a roll recently. Starbucks earns recognition as a socially responsible company by standing behind its decision to buy coffee beans from importers who pay above market prices to small farmers.
Although this stock had hit a low point, Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) has rallied and started attracting investors looking for potential bargains. Even as the PC market has struggled, Intel remains highly profitable and is financially stable enough to pay out a quarterly dividend of $0.22 per share. Also, Intel's investments in technology education, global waste recycling teams, and community initiatives makes this stock a win-win.
UPS (NYSE: UPS) is a company known for its strong employee programs, ramped up efforts for sustainability, and consistent investments in the community through its philanthropy. Words like community, loyalty, and teamwork still mean something at UPS, and it is not unusual to find employees that have been with the company for 30 to 40 years because of its commitment to its workers through good pay, first class health care, and opportunities for advancement within the company.
